Chang'an West Market, Fenglei Bank.
Xu Fenglei looked at the lean man in front of him, touched his chin and looked at him carefully.
If I were to use an animal to describe this person, it would definitely be a monkey!
They are not docile golden monkeys, but the kind of wild monkeys found on Mount Emei. They are restless all the time, and their hands are constantly waving back and forth even if they are behind their backs.
"Master, here it is."
Li Qingquan held two cups of tea, one cup was handed to Xu Fenglei, and the other cup was given to "Monkey".
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and said with interest:
"Are you Liu Fubo? The guy who wants to borrow 10,000 taels of silver to go out to sea to hunt for treasure?"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." Liu Fubo took the tea and thanked Li Qingquan quickly. Then he looked at Xu Fenglei and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's me. Are you the shopkeeper?"
Xu Fenglei nodded.
"Yes, I am Xu Fenglei, the boss here."
He smiled and raised his hand and said,
"Now, I can give you a cup of tea to convince me to approve a loan for you."
"Would you please start?"
Liu Fubo: "!!"
"well!"
He tensed up and said,
"The reason why I want to borrow these ten thousand taels is for two main purposes."
"One is shipbuilding. The waves on the sea are rough, and a random wave can destroy the ship and kill people. Therefore, I need an extremely strong and strong ship to sail!"
"The other is to recruit navigators! That is, the helpers who will go to sea with me. It doesn't need to be too many, but they must all be good players and warriors!"
"This is a life-threatening business that requires a lot of money to recruit!"
"Together the two, even ten thousand taels are a bit stretched."
Li Qingquan couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard this.
To die.
Ten thousand taels is not enough?
How much do you want? !
However, Xu Fenglei nodded happily.
"It's not enough."
He smiled and said,
"If you really want to form a fleet to go to sea, you will need at least 30,000 taels of silver. This will have to sail around the coastline and not cross it."
"Your idea is acceptable, but where is the profit point?"
"Now I only see your huge consumption, but I can't see the rewards you can get from going to sea. To put it bluntly, whether you can come back alive is a question."
"Loans from banks are used to make money. I don't want to fold in the capital if I don't make the money."
When Liu Fubo heard this, he couldn't help but look anxious.
"There are profit points, yes!"
He said quickly,
"I went to sea just to find overseas fairy treasures!"
"Yingzhou and Penglai are overseas fairy mountains. As long as you climb those fairy mountains, you will definitely be able to get treasures. When I return with a full load, I will definitely be able to pay you back more than ten times the interest!"
Li Qingquan sneered.
"Yingzhou, Penglai, these words to deceive Qin Shihuang have been used for thousands of years. Do you think it still works?"
She said disdainfully,
"I don't know if these fairy mountains exist in this world. Even if they do exist, it's not possible for a utilitarian ordinary like you to climb them."
"To be honest, you know you are just telling lies, right?"
Liu Fubo's face turned red, and his restless hands moved around more and more uncontrollably.
"Master, I don't think there is any need to talk to him any more."
Li Qingquan turned to look at Xu Fenglei and said,
"This person is here to defraud money. I don't know how many people I have encountered since the bank opened."
"No!"
Not to mention ten thousand taels of silver.
This guy's performance showed that she didn't want to lend him a penny.
"Don't, don't..."
Liu Fubo became anxious and said,
"I am really not cheating! I have had this dream since I was a child, to find overseas fairy mountains and bring back endless treasures!"
"Believe me, I have a strong hunch that there is endless wealth overseas!"
"In this way...you lend me ten thousand taels, and as long as I can come back, I will definitely repay you one hundred thousand or one million taels!"
Li Qingquan was speechless.
Return one hundred thousand taels or one million taels.
It’s so outrageous!
"Hahaha!"
When Xu Fenglei heard this, he laughed loudly and praised,
"What a dream!"
"Money is a bastard. There's nothing more to me than that I like to help people realize their dreams and respect other people's dreams!"
"I voted for this project!"
Li Qingquan: "???"
Liu Fubo: "!!!"
Under Li Qingquan's disbelieving gaze, Liu Fubo jumped up from his chair!
"Really...really?!"
His face turned as red as pig liver, and he said extremely excitedly,
"Are you really willing to lend me ten thousand taels? You...are you really willing?!"
"me……"
Liu Fubo's nostrils were spraying white air, and his whole body seemed to be about to explode!
"Master, don't! He..."
Li Qingquan was also anxious.
How could these ten thousand taels of silver be wasted?
Xu Fenglei waved his hand, signaling her to stop talking.
Then, his eyes fell on Liu Fubo, who was jumping up and down.
"I can invest money in you, but I have to let you understand a concept."
He ordered,
"There are no such bullshit fairy mountains overseas! What Penglai is, that's all made up by warlocks!"
"And the so-called Yingzhou is a barren land! The Japanese people there are still working as pirates! Are you looking for treasure? It's better to be killed by them!"
"If you have such unrealistic ideas, even if you go to sea, you will die!"
"Understand?"
Liu Fubo's expression froze, and his excited movements stopped abruptly.
"But are there any treasures overseas?"
Xu Fenglei changed his tone and said affirmatively,
"I can tell you clearly that there is."
"But the treasure is not the so-called fairy treasure, but spices, precious medicinal materials and wood, ivory, gold and jewelry, etc."
"You bring the salt, iron, and tea from the Tang Dynasty, and you bring back the spice treasures from overseas. This time, you will make tens of thousands of taels of profit!"
"After the route is figured out, fixed routes can be planned. Then you can go to sea every month or even every day. If you ship one ship, you can earn tens of thousands of silver. If you ship ten or hundreds of ships, you can earn hundreds of thousands. Even millions of taels of silver were earned!"
"This is the real inexhaustible treasure, understand?"
Liu Fubo's eyes widened.
He was stunned.
Although he was full of passion and desire, he was ignorant and could only aim at the "Treasure of the Immortal Mountain".
But now that Xu Fenglei nudged him like this, he just saw the sun from the clouds, as if he was guided by the gods, and his mind suddenly became clear!
It turns out...that's it!
Li Qingquan also showed a look of surprise.
It turns out that Master already had a plan in mind!
Then why should she worry about it?
"Liu Fubo, I think you are a good person."
Xu Fenglei touched his chin and said,
"What do you belong?"
Liu Fubo was stunned.
"Ah?" he responded, "I, I am a monkey..."
"Very good."
Xu Fenglei nodded happily and said,
"I can approve a loan for you. If ten thousand taels is not enough, we can discuss it again when the time comes."
"But you need to act according to my plan and agree to a few requirements."
Liu Fubo's heart was surging, and he said: "Okay, let alone a few requests, I will agree to hundreds of them!"
Wow.
A contract was handed to him.
"For shipbuilding, I can use the resources of the imperial court to design and build it, and deliver it to you in the shortest possible time."
Xu Fenglei said,
"It can be said that with me here, I can give you the greatest convenience without violating national laws."
"And I have four requests."
"First, every navigator you recruit needs to be reviewed by me. If I am not satisfied, I cannot recruit him."
"Secondly, I will issue a rough navigation chart. The idea is to go all the way south along the coastline of the Tang Dynasty, using the land shore as a mark, and never leave too far. I will draw countries that are rich in spices, medicinal materials, etc. The island is roughly marked to give you a direction, but you need to explore the specific location.”
"Third, you must keep a logbook every day and write down the navigation route. If you can successfully complete overseas trade, you must give me the chart."
"Fourth, what you just said is that if I can give you ten thousand taels, you are willing to repay one million taels. I agree with this. I will do my best to help you within the scope of my ability. And if you come back with a full load, I will You must cash in the hundredfold profit. That is to say——"
Xu Fenglei looked at Liu Fubo.
"After you succeed, you will have to work for me for a few more years. I estimate that it should not exceed ten years."
He said with a half-smile,
"How about it, are you willing?"
"If you are willing, just sign and pledge, and the ten thousand taels of silver will be delivered immediately."
This contract is completely overlord clause!
How can anyone borrow ten thousand taels and have to pay back one million?
Is there any royal law? Are there any laws?
But sorry.
Standing in front of you is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the Minister of Industry, Xu Guogong, the chief director of the Xuanwumen Incident, and the most trusted person of Emperor Li Shimin!
In front of this bully, I am the only one who can negotiate terms. No one can negotiate terms.
If you want to sign, sign it, if you don’t sign, you’ll get it!
At this moment, even Li Qingquan felt that it was a bit too much.
The highest interest rate on weekdays is only 10 points, but this time it’s even better, it’s 10,000 points!
You won’t even bring something like this...
Liu Fubo stared at the contract.
"Think slowly, don't rush."
Xu Fenglei took a sip of tea and said calmly,
"If it were me, I would consider it carefully."
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Fubo pressed his fingerprint and left a bright red mark on the contract!
"I sign!"
He raised his head suddenly and said decisively,
"In this world, only Boss Xu can give me such an opportunity, and only you can help me realize my dream!"
"Even if it's a contract to sell myself, I still signed it!"
boom!
"Okay, have fun!"
Xu Fenglei slammed the table and praised,
"I just like your temper!"
"Don't worry, as long as you can successfully go to sea and return, I can guarantee that you will gain endless glory and wealth for a lifetime!"
"At that time, one million taels... counts as a ball?"
"Qingquan, bring the wine!"
Li Qingquan took two steps and changed the tea for the two of them to fermented grapes.
"Come."
Xu Fenglei raised his glass and grinned,
“A pleasure to work with.”
"I will arrange for someone from the Ministry of Industry to contact you."
Ding!
"Stop saying anything, Boss Xu, it's all in the wine!"
Liu Fubo clinked glasses with Xu Fenglei, drank the wine in one gulp, and said in high spirits,
"Just wait for my good news!"
The contract was concluded and a glass of wine was consumed.
Liu Fubo left with full enthusiasm and motivation.
"Master... do you think he can do it?"
Li Qingquan murmured.
Xu Fenglei shook his head.
"I don't know, but he has the ingredients to succeed, and that's why I'm betting on him."
he said.
"The key to success?" Li Qingquan asked curiously, "What are they?"
"One is to make it inexhaustible and inexhaustible."
Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,
"Have you noticed that from the very beginning when he came in, he acted like he had ADHD and couldn't settle down."
"The body is thin, but the face is red, and the whole body seems to be full of irrepressible power! This is a sign of energy."
"And the successful people and outstanding leaders in this world are all energetic people. For example, your father, when mounted, can fight the enemy in bloody battles; when dismounted, he can fight at night. He is like a god!"
"If you have energy that is beyond ordinary people, you will have abilities that are beyond ordinary people. This is a matching combination."
Li Qingquan suddenly realized.
"Then it seems I can succeed."
She joked,
"There are many things in the bank, and I often stay up all night to work. Sometimes I can only sleep for two hours, but I still feel not sleepy when I wake up the next morning."
"Does this count?"
"Of course!" Xu Fenglei said firmly, "That's why I say that you have the potential to become a strong woman. When the time comes, you will control an empire of wealth. Even your father will never dare to underestimate you. Just stamp your foot, big Tang Yuan was shaking three times! How about it? Thinking about it, you are still a little excited."
Li Qingquan pursed his lips and smiled.
She has been working hard according to the plan given by her master...
"The second is purity."
Xu Fenglei explained,
"This Liu Fubo, don't look at him like a monkey. He jumps up and down and seems unreliable, and his words are irrelevant."
"But he is very pure. He has only one goal. For his goal, he is willing to pay any price. Did you hear what he just said? Not to mention the contract, he is even willing to sign a deed of sale!"
"In addition to this, metaphysically speaking, this person also reveals a pure form."
"He is a monkey, looks like a monkey, looks and moves like a monkey. This is the pure sign, and he means great wealth!"
Li Qingquan suddenly realized.
Although she had learned a lot about the Book of Changes, this was the first time she heard her master talk about mysteries and fortune-telling.
Sure enough, you can learn more by following Master!
“So, although investing overseas is extremely dangerous and may even cost you nothing, I still choose to trust my own judgment and take the gamble!”
Xu Fenglei said seriously,
"If he dies in the sea, I will only lose tens of thousands of taels."
"But if he succeeds, I can immediately establish a maritime trade line for the Tang Dynasty. By that time, the benefits I will gain, and the benefits the country will gain, will be more than millions and millions? It will be a maritime Silk Road, a golden road road!"
"Just for this, it's totally worth the risk!"
