"Let's go, next one!"
Zhou Sen excitedly waved the cashier's check in his hand and smiled proudly at Bai Yulan. This was the first time he had such a large amount of money. Then the two of them got in the car and headed to the next bank they chose.
On the carriage.
Gugu...
Bai Yulan clutched her stomach, her face as red as rouge. She went out in the morning and didn't even have time to eat. She was already very hungry.
"It's getting late, I'll take you to dinner first." Zhou Sen chuckled. The goddess is not averse to human beings, she also wants to eat.
Zhou Sen took her to Lao Sheng's mutton noodle restaurant that Ye San'er had introduced. In the middle of winter, there was nothing better than a steaming bowl of mutton noodles.
"I know you live a fastidious life. You have never eaten in a small restaurant like this before." Zhou Sen chuckled, took out a handkerchief and wiped the chopsticks, "My handkerchief is unused."
The wiped chopsticks were handed to Bai Yulan.
"Thank you." Bai Yulan actually doesn't dislike this kind of street restaurant. She is not from a wealthy family, and her early life was very difficult. However, after marrying Lao Ma, naturally she can no longer be so public and casually go out on the street to eat this kind of food. Planting a roadside restaurant.
"Officer Zhou, is this the new police officer?" The boss brought two bowls of noodles and greeted him warmly.
"Well, he's new." Zhou Sen chuckled and didn't deny it. It wouldn't matter if the boss admitted his mistake. Anyway, he just had a newcomer.
A big bowl of noodles, the smaller half of which is mutton, big chunks and very badly stewed. This bowl is very affordable. The boss makes small profits but quick turnover, and the customers who eat the most are repeat customers.
The mutton is sprinkled with a layer of chopped green onion, which is clear and green, making it tempting just to look at it.
"Have a taste. If you think it's greasy, you can pour some vinegar." Zhou Sen picked some spicy peppers with chopsticks and put them into the bowl. "Do you want peppers?"
Bai Yulan shook her head, women are the most taboo about eating spicy food.
Wu En, who was on the side, had long been rude. He picked up the bowl and started to pull it. He had a big appetite, so Zhou Sen ordered two bowls for him.
"I estimate that all the big shots in the Ice City will know about this matter tomorrow morning. However, they may not necessarily guess your identity, but if you suddenly become rich, the people who want to deal with you will definitely analyze and guess. Get some." Zhou Sen said while eating.
"Are you scared?" Bai Yulan ate the noodles in small bites. She chewed the noodles carefully and slowly. This beautiful woman still looked good when eating.
"I'm not afraid, but if Su Wenqing and Qin Laoqi knew, they would hate you and me to death," Zhou Sen said.
"What do you want to say?"
"We can't just be beaten passively. We have to learn to take the initiative. Both Qin Laoqi and Su Wenqing covet you. One is an old gangster. He also wants you to be his concubine in the seventh house, and they don't even look at him. That kind of body and bones can still be used for a few times. Besides, his two sons are really willing to watch you come in. Besides, Su Wenqing, the eldest grandma in the business world, takes both black and white, and his wife is dead. If you come in, then just give it to her. He's straightened up, but although Su Wenqing hasn't taken a wife or concubine in these years, he has no shortage of women around him, and he hasn't seen any women give birth to a son or a half of daughters for him. This guy probably can't do it either..."
Fortunately, it's a woman like Bai Yulan. If it were another woman, Zhou Sen would have turned against her long ago if he talked to her like this.
Zhou Sen's words sounded harsh, but they were all on point.
"What can you do?"
"As for Su Wenqing, I think you can start with his daughter Su Yun. This Su Yun just came back from Peking. I met her once. She received a new education, but she is relatively simple and has a more independent personality. But Su Wenqing loves this daughter very much, and if she objects, it will be tantamount to creating obstacles for Su Wenqing," Zhou Sen said.
Bai Yulan raised her head slightly, feeling a little impressed by Zhou Sen. It seemed that one should not just listen to rumors when judging people.
Sometimes it is true that seeing is believing and hearing is false.
"Besides, Qin Laoqi's two sons, the eldest Qin Xiong, controls Qunfang Tower, which is the person who has been competing with you for business. On the surface, this person looks elegant, but in fact this kind of person is the most terrifying. I I think he also has intentions for you, but he doesn't dare to disobey his father now. In addition, Qin Laoqi also leaves many businesses to Qin Xiong, while the second brother Qin Lang is only in charge of Taipingqiao Gambling House. Once Qin Laoqi dies, the two brothers of the Qin family will definitely separate. This is a matter of time. Qin Xiong has taken a fancy to the land of Ningxiang Pavilion. As for the Ningxiang Pavilion itself, it is not important. This is why he does not hesitate to spend money. The reason why they are trying so hard to suppress you is that others just want to get a piece of the pie from the customers of Ningxiang Pavilion."
"Su Wenqing lowered the price and snatched away the large order given by the colleague, causing your goods to be backlogged in the warehouse and causing problems with capital turnover. Although you can absorb part of it yourself, the quantity is too much and you don't want to sell it at a low price, so, It can only be stored in the warehouse, and the storage cost is not small, but the more your cloth and silk are overstocked, the less valuable they are. In the end, not only will you have no profit, but you will also lose a lot of money..."
Zhou Sen knew Bai Yulan's predicament very well, and his analysis was meticulous, and he all hit on her pain points.
In addition to Su Wenqing's mischief, there is also the limitation of Bai Yulan's judgment of the situation, especially the dumping of a large amount of cotton produced by the Japanese on the Manchurian market. This has resulted in the price of the cloth that was originally hoarded, even if it is now in stock. The price has been cut in half.
Her warehouse is still rented, and every day it is stored, there is rent and wear and tear.
Su Wenqing secretly played a role in this, making Bai Yulan believe that the price of cotton cloth would rise, and then buy a large amount of it. As a result, in order to control costs, Tongji chose cotton raw materials from the Wenqing Chamber of Commerce.
This batch of cotton cloth was smashed into my hands, and now I can get rid of it at the purchase price, but no one wants it, not to mention that the cotton cloth on the market now is not valuable.
"You want to get rid of this batch of cloth at a low price, but no one is willing to take over, because Su Wenqing has secretly warned anyone who has the ability to eat this batch of cloth. If you dare to help you, you will become Su Wenqing's enemy. Given that he is now in Naturally, no one dares to offend Bingcheng's power, so even if you want to withdraw the funds, there are too many people scheming, and even a tiger can't stand up to a pack of wolves. You are a woman, and you don't have a strong backer. Moreover, if you fall Well, they also shared the benefits, so naturally they stood by and watched, and even secretly speculated on who would win in the end."
"Can you stop being so direct?"
"Don't you really like this style?" Zhou Sen asked back.
Bai Yulan rolled her eyes at Zhou Sen. She now understood the man in front of her somewhat. He was a "disaster". The problem was that she had already been harmed.
"Eat noodles, eat noodles..." Zhou Sen turned his head and found that Wu En had almost finished the second bowl of noodles. The noodles in his and Bai Yulan's bowls were half shallow.
Bai Yulan was really hungry. She was able to eat more than half of such a big bowl of noodles and mutton, which really gave her a thumbs up.
"Here." Zhou Sen handed over the handkerchief and pointed to her mouth.
Bai Yulan hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it, wiped the corners of her mouth, and was about to fold it when she was pulled over by Zhou Sen. She also wiped her mouth and put it into her trouser pocket.
"you……"
"What are you doing? I don't dislike you. Hurry up. If other banks receive the news, it will be difficult for us to lend more money!" Zhou Sen pulled Bai Yulan over and said.
…
"Thank you, Manager Shen. If we have the opportunity, we will cooperate again!"
"Master Zhou, let's go slowly." Manager Shen of the loan department of Manchuria Industrial Bank said with a smile on his face. After making this deal, he got a lot of commission. Zhou Sen, a prodigal son, actually mortgaged assets worth 1.2 million for 65 million, and these are high-quality assets.
As long as Zhou Sen can't pay back the money and these assets are recovered, the bank can sell them twice as much in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, we've mortgaged everything and got the money. Now it's up to you." Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan got into the car.
"Do you really believe me and aren't you afraid that I will take away such a huge sum of money from you?" Bai Yulan asked in disbelief.
"The money is gone, but you can keep it for me, right?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Do you really want to be with me?" Bai Yulan asked. She had never considered this question before. She was a married widow, and she was from that kind of background. Her reputation was not good. Who would marry her? Such a woman as a wife.
"I said, I will be responsible for you."
"Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" Bai Yulan snorted coldly. Although she didn't believe it, she still felt quite comfortable hearing it.
In fact, Zhou Sen himself doesn't know how long he can survive. He and Bai Yulan have some sympathy for each other. Maybe this is fate.
"Yu Lan, if I'm in trouble, will you do your best to help me?" Zhou Sen suddenly looked at Bai Yulan affectionately and asked.
"Who allowed you to call me that..." A blush appeared on Bai Yulan's cheeks and she scolded, but there was no hint of anger in her tone.
"Actually, I don't want to be a policeman. I want to be creative. I want to write scripts, write novels, and act in plays. This is my ideal." Zhou Sen said.
"Then if you don't want to be a police officer, then just don't do it. Is there anyone else forcing you to become a police officer?" Bai Yulan asked.
"People in the world cannot help themselves. If there was no Ningxiang Pavilion, you wouldn't be so tired, right?" Zhou Sen said, "Those shouldn't be your burdens. You are not their nanny. You should learn to let go of them. , let them find their own way out in life.”
Bai Yulan was silent.
Yes, I did everything I could, but some people still left, and some even felt that I was blocking their way.
Of course, they are not all ungrateful people. Most of those left behind can distinguish right from wrong and are willing to advance and retreat with her.
This is why she hasn't completely lost confidence yet.
"Front, get off the car."
"Uh..." Zhou Sen thought he had made Bai Yulan angry. Who knew that she just wanted to change into her original clothes, so she asked Zhou Sen to get off the car.
By the time Zhou Sen got in the car again, Bai Yulan had already changed into her original appearance of wrapping herself into a rice dumpling.
"Find a secluded place ahead and put me down. If anything happens, I'll ask Ah Xiang to come to you." Bai Yulan pointed to the set of clothes, shoes and hats that she had changed into, "I'll give you this outfit." me?"
"Of course, I can't wear it either."
"Thank you, consider it the first gift you gave me." Bai Yulan nodded slightly. There were many women's clothes in her cabinet, but this set of men's clothes was completely the first time in her life, and it was of great significance.
"Have we begun?"
Bai Yulan didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Already in the same boat.
