After repeatedly confirming with Xu Zongwen, Xun Chong finally accepted the fact that if he wanted to join Daming Tower, he would need to invest at least 10 million yuan, and not a penny less!
Although Xun Chong used his status as the Marquis of Xichang to plunder people's wealth in Jiankang and exploited the people for many years, the wealth accumulated by the Marquis was piled up like a mountain, but it was not easy to come up with 10 million yuan at once. !
"General, can you give it a little less? Ten million is indeed too much, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get it out of the Hou Mansion's accounts at once." Xun Chong asked Xu Zongwen while discussing, but there was no other way. The proposal to invest in Daming Tower was too much. It’s tempting!
Xu Zongwen chuckled, and his lazy voice suddenly sounded: "It doesn't matter! Xichang Marquis Mansion is an exception. You can pay in installments!"
"What is installment payment?" Xun Chong moved his seat and asked tentatively: "General, please give me some advice!"
Xu Zongwen held up the lower end of Tongjue and said nothing. When Xun Chong was looking anxious, Guo Shang got Xu Zongwen's consent and explained on his behalf: "Master, don't be anxious! This installment payment means that the ten million yuan does not need to be paid." If the Hou Mansion takes it out in one go, you can entrust someone to pay it on your behalf, and then the Hou Mansion will pay some interest to him, so that the Hou Mansion can pay Daming Tower 1 million per month to get the corresponding share."
"In other words, I have to pay 12 million yuan?" Xun Chong began to hesitate. Why did the amount of money keep getting bigger and bigger?
Xu Zongwen suddenly said something, "Xichang Hou, this twelve million yuan is paid in twelve installments a year. It is not a big problem for the Hou Mansion. You have to think about the daily cost of Daming Tower." Income. And with the first Daming Tower in Jiankang, there will be Daming Towers in every state. By then, the twelve million dollars will be just a drop in the bucket!"
Soon, Xu Zongwen asked Lu Zhu and Ruying to call him, and handed Xun Chong the one-month running ledger of Daming Tower for review.
"The expansion of the Daming Building has attracted all kinds of people. A total of 20 million was spent on purchasing all kinds of necessary things!" The monthly income is 70 million, and after excluding the initial expenses and costs, the profit has reached 25 million!"
It was really unbelievable. Daming Tower’s monthly income made Xun Chong unable to bear it any longer!
According to the share promised by Xu Zongwen verbally, as long as Xun Chong pays 1 million per month, he will be one year old in April of the 11th year of Taiyuan, even if he officially joins Daming Tower, he will receive 300 per month. Ten thousand dollars, Xu Zongwen called this dividend!
In other words, after paying these 12 million yuan, the Xichang Marquis Mansion will receive dividends of up to 36 million yuan every year. This is only the income of Jiankang City. Future growth is inevitable. Estimated!
Xun Chong patted the desk and shouted loudly: "Sign, draw up the contract now, find both the guarantor and the client, and I will sign the contract immediately! Isn't it just an extra two million? Here, I am. Isn’t it okay to give it?”
"Okay, Marquis of Xichang!" Xu Zongwen greeted, and someone immediately sent the prepared appointment letter to the attic of Tianzi No. 1. Xun Chong only glanced at the amount, and didn't look at the rest carefully. He dipped his fingers in the seal on the spot. , signed the name, the whole process was dazzlingly fast, and there was no sloppiness at all!
Xu Zongwen also signed and stamped the two copies of the agreement. Xu Zongwen proposed to hide everything in a secret box, seal it with the key, and place it in the Daming Tower. Xun Chong was afraid of changes, so he immediately agreed.
"Come here, capture the Marquis of Xichang immediately!" When everything was over and Xun Chong was about to leave Daming Tower, Guo Chang immediately stood up and shouted, and dozens of Jin Yiwei under Pang Bai's men immediately swarmed up, taking advantage of Xun Chong's failure Unprepared, the Jin Yiwei took advantage of the situation and successfully subdued and detained Xun Chong and a dozen of his men.
The situation changed so quickly that Xun Chong and his party were unexpected. No one expected that the two groups of people who were talking so enthusiastically just now turned against each other in an instant!
"General, why is this? We are now partners and a family. Why is General like this?"
"Please make it clear, General! If any of my subordinates have offended me, please forgive me, General. But please don't destroy the friendship between us and cause any misunderstanding!"
Xun Chong thought that the people lurking downstairs in Daming had been exposed, which made Xu Zongwen unhappy. He wanted to explain this, but another group of people suddenly jumped out from downstairs.
"Jiankang ordered Wang Fu? Why is it you?"
"Why do you arrest me and the noble princes without authorization? Do you understand that you want to rebel?
The government officials wearing soap clothes of the government office took Xun Chong away from the Jin Yiwei. It was not until the handover was completed that Xun Chong recognized Wang Fu, the king of Jiankang.
Xun Chong struggled endlessly. Xu Zongwen took out the contract and unfolded it in public. Xun Chong leaned forward and tried his best, but saw a scene that he would never forget!
On the originally full contract, the contents of the contract were gradually disappearing, until a moment later, only Xun Chong's signature fingerprint remained on the entire contract!
"This, this is impossible!"
"How come there isn't a word?
Seeing Xun Chong's confused and helpless look, Xu Zongwen ignored him and asked Jiankang to order Wang Fu to take him away. Guo Shang calmly rewrote the appointment letter. This time it was not called an appointment. The book is evidence of guilt!
Wang Fu explained loudly: "Xun Chong, the Marquis of Xichang, is suspected of occupying imperial land, extorting people's property, accepting bribes, and disregarding the law. He has confessed and committed suicide. He will be arrested and imprisoned immediately. I will pay homage to the official, Tingwei."
Hearing this, Xun Chong's originally upright and stiff body immediately softened like a deflated rubber ball. Even his eyes were dull and dull, and he allowed the officials to drag him away.
The agreement negotiated with Xun Chong was not actually written with pure ink. Instead, Xu Zongwen used a strange ink mixed with water from the ink sacs of cuttlefish bought from Jiankangdong City. The ink made by adding a large amount of water to the ink sacs in the cuttlefish can be indistinguishable from real ink! However, over time, the handwriting written with this ink will gradually disappear!
The ink used for Xun Chong's signature is real ink, so it cannot be removed. Xu Zongwen's signature was deliberately placed under the contract. As long as it is cropped, no flaws can be seen! As for adding something to the disappeared covenant, it’s up to Xu Zongwen to do whatever he wants!
"The general's move is really clever. Before he leaves, he will cause a storm in the government and the public. Now the princes of Taiwan Province are probably very busy!" Guo Shang's accusation of more than a hundred words was just a snap.
"I came up with this plan because I was at my wits' end." Xu Zongwen's eyes slowly and orderly moved towards the cool bronze basin behind the screen. "How could the emperor let me go so easily unless the water in this pool was mixed up? ?”
Guo Shang handed the newly drafted charges to Xu Zongwen, who read them hastily and immediately handed them to Pang Bai: "Catch up and hand them over to Wang Fu and ask him to get this case out."
"No!" Pang Bai bowed deeply and strode out.
Guo Shang squinted his eyes and looked at the corner outside the door that had long disappeared. He shook his neck and said, "The brother of the emperor, the Marquis of Xichang, fell into our trap so easily. It is really unexpected!"
Xu Zongwen curled his lips and simply closed his eyes with an indifferent expression: "The emperor's brother, the Marquis of Xichang, in the final analysis is just a domineering, arrogant and greedy villain, who is still kind of stupid. Villain."
"Yes, it's his own fault!"
