Since ancient times, the term "rich family" has been used to describe a wealthy family, but that is just a description. How many people really have a rich family?
As a result, when Shao Xi opened his mouth, he said ten thousand taels, which is ten thousand guan. This is the real test of whether the Qin family's wealth is worthy of its name.
Qin Yuezong and Qin Miao were shocked when they heard Shao Xi's words.
Although the total assets of the Qin family are indeed more than 10,000 taels, the cash and banknotes they have on hand are definitely not enough. Even if they allocate all the money from their own businesses in various places, it will not be enough.
With such a large investment, Qin Yuezong murmured in his heart. You must know that this money will touch the foundation of the Qin family. Let's not talk about how much you can make. If you don't make any money after all the trouble, it is already a loss.
With such a huge investment, Qin Yuezong must ensure that he is 100% sure and can obtain sufficient benefits, otherwise he would rather not do it.
"Master Shao, the investment in this business is so huge, is Master Shao sure that he will be able to make money? You know, for such a large sum of money, my Qin family will have to allocate a large amount of silver from various places. Wouldn't it be an injustice if all this effort is in vain? How can Mr. Shao guarantee a profit?"
Shao Xi knew that this huge investment would definitely make the Qin family and his son hesitate, so he used the words he had prepared in advance to induce them.
"If the old man is worried that this Yunsha business is not safe, I might as well say it bluntly to the old man. The reason why I dare to invest such a huge amount of money in this business is because I have the treasure of the Western Region to back me up. Even if the Yunsha business fails, Error, money was lost, and the benefits gained from the treasures of the Western Regions are enough to offset all previous losses. What is missing now is just the initial financial investment, so I came to your house to discuss cooperation. If I really lose money, I will be considered a junior. That’s it.”
Hearing about the treasure in the Western Region, Qin Yuezong couldn't sit still. He had been planning on the treasure in the Western Region for decades to no avail. He was shocked when he heard Qin Miao mention it just now.
Now that he heard about this from Shao Xi, he was also eager to know whether the treasure Shao Xi mentioned was the treasure he had been looking for all those years ago? If that were the case, he would not be willing to give up his decades of hard work to others under any circumstances.
"I know that I shouldn't ask about this matter rashly before the cooperation relationship is reached, but I still can't help but be curious and want to ask more. Is the treasure Mr. Shao mentioned in Wuhai Kingdom? I just asked casually. If Mr. Shao doesn't want to You don’t have to answer if you want to, and I won’t force you.”
Qin Yuezong's question was exactly what Shao Xi wanted. Shao Xi thought to himself, "I'm still afraid that you won't ask this question. Haven't you been looking for the treasure of Wuhai Kingdom for so many years?" Wouldn't I be sorry if I said it was not the treasure you are looking for? How can I lure you into taking the bait?
Shao Xi's trip was originally intended to use the greed of the Qin family and his son, plus their obsession with the Wuhai Kingdom's treasure for so many years, as bait to lure them into taking the bait.
Now Qin Yuezong's question about this matter is like a fish testing the bait on the hook in the water. What is needed at this time is patience, patiently leading him step by step into his trap.
The deal with Nanzhao Yunsha was done with inducements, and although the matter of the treasures in the Western Regions was also done with inducements, it was more of a lure by satisfying the Qin family's father and son's long-cherished wish.
When a person knows that his long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled, and at the same time he can obtain the wealth he has dreamed of, he will be impulsive, lose his due reason, and blindly take some risks that may be unexpected, and Shao What Xi has to do now is to provoke this impulse in their father and son.
Therefore, people cannot be too greedy. If they are too greedy, they will definitely be taken advantage of, because greed is a person's biggest weakness.
"Originally, this junior should not reveal this matter to the outside world, but since the old man asked about it today, the junior will not hide it. The old man guessed well. The treasure that the junior mentioned is the treasure of Wuhai Kingdom in the Western Region. This treasure is located in Wuhai, and it is really inconvenient for me to reveal its specific location.
"But the old man only needs to believe that this treasure is now in the hands of the younger generation. All he has to do is dig, transfer and sell it, and a large amount of wealth will come from it. It can be said that it is inexhaustible."
Shao Xi's confirmation that the treasure was located in Wuhai Kingdom undoubtedly dropped a bombshell in the hearts of Qin Yuezong and his son.
The father and son have been searching for this treasure for nearly thirty years. Over the years, they have not been able to learn the whereabouts of the treasure map from Wei Ping. Without the treasure map, they would not be able to find it even if they arrived in Wuhai.
But now Shao Xi told them that this treasure was already in his control. How could they not feel uncomfortable?
If this treasure was really discovered and excavated by others, wouldn't the efforts of father and son over the years have been in vain?
This is no longer a question of more money or less, but rather how much effort, thought and scheming has been expended, and the feeling of having nothing in the end. This feeling is really a huge blow to people.
If he didn't take this opportunity to seize this treasure into his own hands, the half of his father and son's life would have been wasted on it.
They are willing to pay any price for this treasure. Back then, they even had the heart to kill their own fellow disciples. How could they let go of a stranger so easily now?
The father and son also know that fishing requires bait. Now that they want to pursue this treasure, it seems that Yun Sha’s business must cooperate with Shao Xi, because Shao Xi has already said that either the two Do both businesses together, or do nothing at all.
In this case, you might as well get involved in this Yunsha business. If you can really make money, it will be considered as making a lot of money in addition to the treasure. Even if you can't make any money, as long as Shao Xi agrees to participate in the treasure business. During the excavation, they can look for opportunities to get rid of Shao Xi's master and servant to seize the treasure alone.
The benefits obtained from this treasure are far from comparable to that of the Yunsha business. They absolutely believe that Shao Xi said that there is a treasure to back it up, so he dares to toss the Yunsha business. It is true, because no matter how much other businesses lose, , as long as you hold this treasure, you will be rich enough to rival the country.
At the same time, Qin Yuezong also had to admire that the young junior in front of him was actually more greedy than himself. He had already mastered the Wuhai national treasure, but he still wanted to make another fortune in the Yunsha business. He was really not afraid of biting his hands when he had too much money. It does seem like he has a big appetite.
Greed is a good thing, and as long as the other person is greedy, he can take advantage of it.
But how did he know? At this time, Shao Xi had the same idea and was using his greed to deal with him. In this matter, he was more insidious, more cunning, and better able to grasp the other party's psychology.
But then again, Qin Yuezong is more or less cautious when it comes to using the foundation of the Qin family. As for whether Shao Xi really controls the treasures of the Western Regions and whether he has enough financial resources to run Jiangnan Yunsha's business, he must have a A relatively certain answer.
To put it bluntly, even empty words cannot be trusted. He still has to see whether Shao Xi has enough financial resources. He only believes what he sees with his own eyes, so Qin Yuezong planned to test Shao Xi again. When he was about to speak, he saw an old man with a hunchback. A man who looked like a shopkeeper came to the door of the main hall.
Because Old Wu had already come in with Shao Xi before, Qin Miao also greeted his servants when he left. There was no need to notify him when he came back, he could just let him in. So at this moment, it was Old Wu who was ordered by Shao Xi to bring him in. Shopkeeper Lu from Taihe Trading Company in Huaichang City brought him. Even Lao Wu didn't know what Shao Xi was going to do.
When Lao Wu saw Qin Yuezong in front of him, he suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that he must not cause trouble to Shao Xi at this time.
Qin Yuezong naturally knew Shopkeeper Lu of Taihe Trading Company, and was very surprised to see Shopkeeper Lu come to the door at this time. Although the Qin family had business dealings with Taihe Trading Company, this was the first time that Shopkeeper Lu came to the door in person.
So he quickly stood up to greet him, but he didn't expect shopkeeper Lu to come straight to Shao Xi after greeting him and his son.
"Mr. Shao, you sent your servant to the merchant's house to get the remainder of the jade and treasures sold. Because the amount is large, I personally sent it to you. I also asked Mr. Shao to check it. If the amount is correct, our transaction will be considered a success. finished."
Shao Xi shook the folding fan in his hand and asked seemingly casually, "Except for the five hundred gold previously settled, what is the last number of this transaction? After all, it took too long for you to evaluate these things. I don't know." I can’t remember it anymore.”
Shopkeeper Lu quickly bowed his hands and said apologetically: "The quantity of Mr. Shao's goods is really too large, and they are all jade and treasures. Every piece needs to be appraised by an expert, so the delay will inevitably be long." Some, please forgive me, Mr. Shao! This time, the mantissa totals three hundred and twenty gold, and they are all here. Please check it, Mr. Shao. If it is correct, I will go back."
Shao Xi took the banknote in his hand and just turned it over twice casually without checking the amount carefully. He stuffed it into his arms and expressed his gratitude to Shopkeeper Lu, who also returned the gift and left.
According to the previous plan with Shao Xi, shopkeeper Lu turned around and took two steps, then turned back as if he remembered something.
He said to Shao Xi again: "The twenty carts of cloud yarn that Young Master Shao previously transported from Jiangnan are now in my trading company. Do you really not need the caravan provided by our trading company? You know that such a large amount of cloud yarn, Young Master, There are still many inconveniences in arranging a convoy to transport it in person, so it is better to leave it to our trading company's caravan to transport it for you."
"No need, this batch of cloud yarn is very important. I have to personally arrange for someone to escort it, so I won't bother Shopkeeper Lu! I will send someone to the trading house to bring out the twenty carts of cloud yarn. Shopkeeper Lu only needs to hire it for me. That’s all you need are carriages and horses, you’re ready to work!”
While Shao Xi was talking to Shopkeeper Lu, the Qin family father and son were exchanging glances.
