"I finally gambled everything I had..."
"After all, I still haven't defeated this damn fate..."
"After all, I was blocked out by this thick glass wall..."
"The Chinese race is so prosperous and glorious in this life! I'm afraid I can only become one of them, a bedbug enjoying dignity!"
"My uncle's huge career still doesn't have a third of my land..."
"Forget it...if you lose, you lose. I threw four million taels into it and still haven't defeated Yang Zhi. Why am I still here?"
"It's almost three o'clock, right? Or is it two-thirty? Forget it, no matter what time it is, there will be no place for me in the stock market in the future, and maybe there will be no place for me in the Chinese race!"
Fan Datou stood alone on the wooden box, as lonely as a sculpture. He had already accepted the fate of failure!
But he suddenly discovered that in this huge exchange, why were all the noisy and chaotic sounds completely gone? When did it become so quiet!
He secretly opened his eyes a crack, and then opened them wider. When the scene in front of him was reflected in his mind, the two hundred kilograms of meat suddenly jumped up like an ape.
"Ouch...fuck...this...what's going on? You...why are you here..."
Fan Biao had no idea when, just under his wooden box mountain, several familiar figures stood in front of him, standing quietly, quietly watching Fan Biao's performance just now!
At this moment, when they discovered that Fan Datou had lowered his head to find them, the leader smiled and held up his hands, "The young master is so powerful! How can we not allow our fellow fans to cheer for us at such a grand occasion!"
"Shanxi...Yuci Changjia...Dade Jade, Dadechuan, Sanheyuan, Dushenyu...the four companies jointly offered one million taels of silver to strengthen the young master's reputation!"
ah! The crowd was in an uproar. This was someone sent from the Chang Family Courtyard in Yuci, Shanxi! The Chang family was second only to the Fan family among Shanxi merchants. The Four Great Jade merchants were the four major tea merchants, and they almost monopolized the tea trade to Kyakhta, the Tsarist Russia!
Why would the Chang family come to support Fan Biao, a big head?
Before Fan Biao could say anything, the second shopkeeper also took a step forward with a smile and said loudly.
"Shanxi Shanxi merchants... Qiao family in Qixian County... Fu Sheng Gong, Dade bank... Dismantle one million taels of silver! To strengthen the young master's reputation!"
The Qiao family in Qixian County also participated in the war. Fan Biao's tears fell like broken pearls. He didn't expect that these Shanxi Prime Ministers would come to save him without any news!
The Chang family in Yuci is powerful, and the Qiao family in Qixian County is even more powerful. Without the Fusheng Gong Company of the Qiao family, the city of Baotou would not exist at all. You can only imagine how powerful the Qiao family's industry is!
Not only that, there’s more to come!
The Nie family in Yuci, the Cao family in Taigu, the Li family in Pingyao, the Hou family in Jiexiu, the Kang family in Linfen, the Pan family in Wanrong, the Yang family in Yangcheng... there are more than ten families in total, large and small. All the small Shanxi merchant leaders have sent representatives!
The Chang family and the Qiao family had the most money, and they gave Fan Datou one million yuan of silver, while other merchants had 500,000 yuan, some 200,000 yuan, and the least one had 100,000 yuan!
A total of two million taels, just these dozen people in front of me provided Fan Biao with funds to dismantle four million!
The bannermen of the capital were all dumbfounded, and someone in the crowd subconsciously muttered, "This... how much interest does this cost? Don't let it be a loan shark!"
The shopkeepers of the Qiao family and the Chang family glanced at each other with wolf-like eyes. The speaker shrank in fear, and then the two of them spoke loudly.
"Shanxi and Shanxi merchants have been one since ancient times. When we have difficulties, we should help each other without asking, not to mention the battle of the eldest son of the Fan family who is famous in the capital!"
"How can you, Lao Xier, just stay aside and watch the fun! What the young master is doing today is Shanxi merchants' majesty! How can we, Lao Xier, not join the war?"
"All the silver coins dismantled today will be given to the young master without interest!"
ah! There was an immediate sensation in the exchange. Four million interest-free funds were used for Fan Da’s head. This decisive game was just like that!
Fan Biao jumped off the wooden box and was already crying. He couldn't say anything. He could only bow deeply, "Everyone... wuwuwu... my best wishes... all the shopkeepers..."
"I won't say any more...one person counts tonight...all the kindness is in the wine...wuwuwu..."
The bannermen present were all stunned. They knew that with these four million more funds, it would be impossible for Fan to lose even if he wanted to! But it’s not just these big businesses that Fan Biao really wants to thank!
The boss of the Qiao family in Qixian County held Fan Biao with both hands: "Little brother! Don't thank us. We Shanxi merchants are one. Today you have to thank these people. Without them reporting the news, we wouldn't have known that there would be such an earth-shattering battle." !”
Fan Biao looked along his fingers and found that there were more than a dozen small traders in ordinary clothes on the west side of the exchange, saluting him with their hands raised!
"The eldest young master is mighty. We are the leaders of the Shanxi Merchant Gang in the capital. We have some small business in the capital... This is the second cabinet of the only place. This is Boss Wang of the Xianyukou Cloth Merchant Association... This is , the big shopkeeper of Liubiju..."
Now the banner men in the capital were even more confused. They were all familiar with these ordinary small bosses, and they had to deal with them for a lot of the basic necessities of life in the capital.
Shanxi merchants have done a lot of business in the capital since ancient times, and by the late Qing Dynasty they had formed a huge joint group!
Shaomai alone is the capital of Shanxi merchants. The bosses of Liubiju and Lerentang are also from Shanxi. The streets in Xianyukou are full of cloth sellers, all of whom are from Yicheng!
Most people in the grain, rice and noodle business are from Qixian County, most people from Xiangling are in the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar business, and there are quite a few people from Linfen who sell paper and groceries... These are all businesses with a certain monopoly nature.
Shanxi merchants are also active in various other industries! In order to help each other and keep each other warm, these Shanxi merchants established various industry chambers of commerce and gathered in small groups in the capital!
They have the closest contact with the market, and no news will escape their ears!
As soon as they heard that Fan Biao, the eldest son of the Fan family, was actually going to war with Yang Zhi with great force, the heads of the chamber of commerce, who knew the deep waters of the capital, knew that Yang Zhi was not aggressive, so they immediately went to find the head of the capital who was a real big business family in Shanxi!
At this time, Shanxi and the capital had already been contacted by telegram. The shopkeepers of these capitals sent telegrams back to their hometowns in Shanxi in the morning. After receiving the news, the heads of each family did not dare to neglect and held a family meeting quickly!
Who is Fan Biao? This is the most promising grandson in Fan Ru's branch. Although Fan Ru treats Huniu badly and is harsh to his brothers, he is a scholar after all and has never lacked courtesy in the field.
They have close ties with these big families. How can these people watch when Fan Ru's grandson does such a big business?
After the family meeting was over, telegrams were sent back to the properties of various families in the capital in the afternoon. The shopkeepers who were directly responsible for the specific business outside immediately began to raise money!
"Damn it! The eldest young master of the Fan family is trying to save face for us, Lao Xier! We have to help him even if we sell everything!"
"We won this battle! Let the bannermen of the capital know how powerful we Shanxi people are!"
"Shanxi merchants...mighty...Lao Xi...will not retreat!"
