"Sir, do you want to watch me collect debts or train new recruits?"
Of course, the letters written in reply to his colleagues cannot be shown to Zhongli. Although Dadalia doubts that not a single plant or tree in Liyue can escape the control of this gentleman, he will not bring trouble on himself and take the initiative to pass on the secrets of others to fools. Inform people.
Zhongli looked up at the increasingly clear sky.
"Then let's go see the Master to collect debts."
The chief executive of the fools put his holstered hands behind his head in distress.
"Ah...this kind of thing...does Mr. Zhongli really want to see it?"
The debt collection task of Beiguo Bank is not like a child's housework. The debtors are mostly die-hards and old people. To collect such debts, some threats and violent methods will be used.
Hearing Dadalia's answer, Zhongli smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Didn't your Excellency agree last night to take Zhong to see the executive's daily work?"
Dadalia took a deep breath.
When walking with Zhong Li last night, he accidentally chatted with the guest minister about his journey to become an executive officer. He also boasted about his strong work ability and how much Her Majesty the Queen appreciated him.
As a result, under Zhongli's suggestive language, Dadalia casually promised to take Zhongli to experience the daily work of an executive officer of the Fools tomorrow.
Until now, Dadalia was complaining in her heart.
Zhongli attaches great importance to promises and agreements. Dadalia does not want to violate the so-called contract, so she can only bite the bullet and explain to Zhongli: "Because most of these debts are usury, and the collection methods are not bright."
The wealth in Beiguo Bank is piled up like a sea of stars, and there are countless zeros in the account of his son Dadalia. How could it be brought by strong winds or earned with sweat from his hands?
If you behave innocently in everything you do, you can't exchange it for Maura.
"There are always people who are short of money, but cannot borrow low-interest and reliable loans, because those loans also require borrowers with credit, and some people do not meet the standards for low-interest loans."
After Dadalia finished speaking, her eyes without highlights stared at Zhongli, trying to see the likes and dislikes in Zhongli's eyes.
"So they came to Northland Bank?"
Disappointingly, Zhongli's eyes were still as calm as ever, as if nothing was worth mentioning in his eyes.
"Of course, Northland Bank was willing to take on the risk of lending to unreliable lenders and therefore charged a higher price."
Usury is a major source of funds for Beiguo Bank. Although it is still not comparable to the benefits of Haimao, the blood soaked behind Haimao will only be more. Dadalia doesn't want to show this to Mr. Zhongli yet.
He also wanted to save the precarious image of the Fools in the eyes of the other party.
Although Mr. Zhongli doesn't seem to care about his identity as an executive.
"It's fair enough."
"I think when they first borrowed the money, they thought they could repay the interest, so they dared to sign the contract."
Zhong Li shook his head gently, and an imperceptible dark light flashed in his golden eyes.
He has no good impression of such borrowers and lenders.
All the money circulating in the continent is his flesh and blood. In this way, Morax guarantees all the sweat, wisdom and future of mankind. This is his trust in all living beings. To fail Morax is to stain his blood.
"That's pretty much it."
Dadalia smiled and came to Zhongli's side, and quickly arranged the three bills to be collected today. If it was on weekdays, and he wanted to finish his work as soon as possible and go back to chat with Zhongli, he would arrange a round trip to get the most out of it. Quick order.
But today Dadalia carefully selected the person who was farthest from the bill but had the worst character at the top of the list.
A clod obsessed with gambling...a gambling monster.
"These people are willing to bet on anything, even their own relatives, in order to make a comeback at the poker table."
If he doesn't even like this kind of person, then Zhongli won't like him either.
Dadalia thought that it would be best to put such a person at the front.
Zhongli might be able to see what Dadalia was thinking, but he didn't say anything. He just walked slowly beside him and stared at the side face of the orange-haired young man.
"This person's debts are enough to fall into your hands. He must be a very troublesome person?"
"He's a guy with a background in a treasure thief group."
Dadalia stretched out her holstered fists in excitement: "I can stretch my muscles today. Sir, please don't fight with me."
Zhongli laughed dumbly.
"I'm not going to take your job."
How could Dadalia think that she would compete with him for this?
I think that when the loan was first issued, Beiguo Bank did not expect this guy from the treasure thief group to be able to repay the debt.
Although Northland Bank is a bank, its supreme principle is not Mora, but the will of the Queen of Winter.
Expansion of power is far more important than money.
And this member of the treasure thief group who has lived in Liyue for a long time should be the next pawn of Beiguo Bank to expand its influence in Liyue.
Most people in Liyue are good at calculations, let alone an emperor who has lived for thousands of years. It only took a little thinking to understand the intentions of the North Country Bank.
"There are many similar banks in Liyue that are willing to lend money at usury. Since he chose to borrow money from Beiguo Bank, I am afraid that his loyalty will no longer be to Liyue in the future."
Zhongli said with a distant look, still with a warm smile on his face.
Dadalia waved her hands awkwardly.
"But he's not going to be a spy at the solstice."
"It's just that I have to do a few small things for Beiguo Bank when necessary."
Dadalia looked up and observed Zhongli's expression. Mr. Keqing just said calmly: "Indeed, this is also in line with universal rationality."
On the way to collect debts, the two passed by the bustling Feiyunpo. People of all kinds kept passing by. The shouts of breakfast hawkers could not be heard. The shops opened one after another, and the warm sunshine shone down.
"My daily job is to expand the power of the Northern Kingdom in Liyue. As a native of Liyue, why are you still willing to be a guide for someone like me?"
Dadalia was the first to lose his composure, and taking advantage of this opportunity, he finally expressed his confusion.
"Based on common rationality, among the challenges faced by the Fools and the Northland Bank in the land of Liyue, threats are far from the first place."
It seemed that because Dadalia's question was beyond expectations, Zhongli was stunned for a moment and then responded calmly:
"Fontaine, Xumi, Dao Wife, Mondstadt...the forces of the seven countries are intertwined. Even Dao Wife, who is closed to the country, cannot prevent the prying eyes of other countries, let alone Liyue, which is open to trade?"
"This is a risk that commercial countries must face. Only with risks can there be benefits."
"The work of the Fools is indeed outstanding, but don't underestimate Liyue's Seven Stars. They can handle this kind of thing."
Dadalia was silent.
"So Mr. Zhongli doesn't care about the lives of Liyue people?"
"Sacrifice is also part of the test. If there is no sacrifice, how can there be strength? Without price, how can there be loyalty?"
Dadalia was shocked.
He always thought that Zhongli, as a Liyue native, would have a deep attachment and love for the land of Liyue, so he never dared to reveal his true purpose.
"Even an infant child must learn to drink milk by himself. What's more, Liyue is now a strong adult. Blood and tears are indispensable links in growth. Without the watering of blood and tears, children will not be able to drink milk. There’s nowhere to grow.”
Zhongli's voice was calm and his smile remained the same, but the words he said suddenly made Dadalia feel that the distance between him and the other party was getting farther.
It was like being in the Winter Palace, facing the aloof Ice Queen.
