The old man slowly raised his head. After just one night, his old face that originally looked rich was already covered with weather. But Li Jinglong still recognized him at a glance. "Ah! Aren't you Old Man Shen? Why are you in such a mess?"
Li Jinglong used to hang out in Yingtian, how could he not recognize this famous richest man in Yingtian?
"Li... Young Master Li..." Shen Rong tried to give Li Jinglong a smile out of habit, but the expression he made out was uglier than crying. Li Jinglong didn't pay attention, but turned around and shouted to Zhu Su: "Fifth Uncle, this is Old Shen! We are the richest man in Yingtian Mansion!"
"Are you Shen Rong? Shen Wansan's son?" Zhu Su approached with a surprised look on his face. He looked in disbelief at the old man with messy hair in front of him who didn't even have a chair to sit on, and then looked at the mess around him.
"This... Mr. Shen, what happened to your house? Was it robbed?"
"It shouldn't be. Whose thief is so arrogant that he dares to break into the house and rob at the feet of the emperor?"
As soon as Shen Rong saw Zhu Su's young face, his eyes darkened as if he were seeing the god of death, and he fell back. If Shen Sen hadn't supported him, he would have fainted on the spot.
"It's too much! It's simply too much! Look at Jiujiang! Mr. Shen is almost mad to death!"
"They actually robbed our Ming people in broad daylight. We must bring them back! We must bring them back!"
As the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Su appropriately expressed his due indignation. No, his anger is still on top of this, and his entire popularity is on the rise.
"Your Highness, there's no need. When the villains dismiss their servants, they share it with them..." Shen Rong felt that the memories of this life were flashing before his eyes like a revolving lantern, and he finally waved the lantern away from his eyes. With Shen Sen's help, he stood up and looked at Zhu Su with a bit of resentment in his eyes.
Your head is about to be borrowed, why are you pretending to be a wise king?
Hehe, I didn’t expect that I had already dissipated all my wealth in advance. So what if you are a prince, I would rather give this money to a servant than let you take it away for nothing!
Shen Rong's heart was filled with grief, anger and the pleasure of revenge.
"What? Did you give all the money to your servants?" Shen Rong looked dejected, but Zhu Su was really anxious.
"They took all the money away, so why should I borrow it?"
"No! Jiujiang! Let people chase you quickly! Find all the captains of the Imperial Guard's patrol city! I have to chase you to the end of the world!"
"I have to support Mr. Shen today! How dare you steal the money I want to borrow! I'm tired of living! Damn it! Damn it!"
Shen Rong sighed leisurely, support me? You're going to borrow my head. What's the use of supporting me... huh? Wait, borrow money?
I... I have given away all my family, and now you tell me that you are just here to borrow money?
"Ah! Sen'er! Hurry! Go quickly! Go and bring back all those slaves who have been slaves for generations!"
"My money! My money!"
…
After searching Shen's house, he finally found a chair with a broken armrest. Shen Sen brought it to Zhu Su and sat him down. At the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart that his servants had searched so cleanly.
It's really hard to even find a chair.
"Your Highness, at home... we are experiencing a sudden disaster, and there is nothing we can do to entertain you... Please don't dislike me."
Shen Rong's old face turned red. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, business had been suppressed. He himself was frightened by the old Zhu family, and all the trees and grass were in war. Ever since he discovered that the new dynasty did not want to see businessmen, he had been worried that one day the Shen family would end up with a family ruined because of money. Since ancient times, merchants have not fought with officials. There are many examples in history books of county magistrates destroying their families and killing their governors, let alone the other party is a prince?
After being stingy all my life, I finally made such a big mistake. A huge house in Kaifeng Mansion was completely destroyed by myself in one day...
"It doesn't matter. It's not Member Shen's fault for being a naughty slave." Zhu Su rested his buttocks on the chair, fearing that if he sat down, the chair would break and he would fall flat on his back.
"Your Highness...are you here to borrow money?" Shen Rong didn't even serve tea. Shen Rong was a little cautious and took the initiative to bring up the topic to resolve his embarrassment.
"That's right." Zhu Su glanced at the empty hall. "It's just that this situation..."
"Do you still have money?"
"Yes! Yes! Your Highness, how much do you want? Tell me the number." Just kidding, how much money is a house in Kaifeng Mansion worth? The Shen family has properties and shops all over the world. There are five gardens in their hometown of Suzhou alone. The deeds to the property and house are all in the hands of his younger brother Shen Wang. I wanted him to quickly clear up his money and go to sea to avoid trouble.
As long as Shen Wang is stopped quickly, the Shen family will still be the richest businessman in Kaifeng!
As long as you can survive, what's the point of spending some money?
Money is a bastard, you can still make money if you lose it!
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems to the Shen family!
"Can I just give you a number?" Zhu Su smiled. "How about you give me 50 million taels first to see your sincerity?"
thump! Shen Sen, who was acting as a boy, stumbled and fell to the ground. Shen Rong, who was more experienced, also leaned forward. The pillars in the hall had not been planed yet, so he managed to maintain his dignity by holding on to the pillars.
Fifty million taels? Even if the money was brought by the strong wind, picking up so much money would exhaust the entire Shen family to death!
Also, is it just... to see sincerity?
"Hahahahaha, seeing how miserable the atmosphere in your mansion is, I just made a joke to warm up the scene." Zhu Su waved his hand. But I sighed secretly in my heart: If I could really borrow 50 million, I could just live peacefully and spend money.
Unfortunately, looking at it like this, 50 million is an astronomical figure for the Shen family, known as the richest man. Alas, you still have to earn it yourself.
"I am here not only to borrow money from the Shen family, but more importantly, I also want to use the Shen family's sales channels throughout the Ming Dynasty." When it came to the topic, Zhu Su sat upright. Although he was young, he looked It's quite impressive.
"Sales channels?" The Shen family and his son were puzzled.
"Oh, it's the shops and caravans you are waiting for everywhere." Zhu Su explained. "I want to expand Zhuangzi, but I won't be able to come up with the money to repay you for a while, so I have no choice but to do some business with you and earn some dividends to repay your debts."
The Shen family father and son looked at each other. This prince is young, but he is well versed in the ways of gaining fame and reputation. He obviously wanted to take advantage of others, but he still said it in such a fresh and refined way.
Doing business? What do you, a prince surnamed Zhu, know about doing business? It also shares dividends, so it’s great if you participate and don’t lose money!
Shen Rong gritted his teeth, forced a smile and said, "What kind of business does the prince want to cooperate with my Shen family? But it doesn't matter."
"As long as I can do my best for the prince, I, the Shen family, will accept anything."
I have made up my mind that as long as it is not as outrageous as fifty million taels, I will sell it to this young prince.
I'm not afraid of losing money, I'm just afraid of losing my head!
As for any good business, Shen Rong has no hope at all.
"Haha, Member Shen." Of course Zhu Su saw the determination in the old man's eyes and knew that he was being underestimated. He didn't show any pretense, just waved, and an attendant brought a box.
"Let's look at this thing...if it were given to Mr. Shen to run outside, would the business be easy to do?"
