Cao Chamber of Commerce.
Since Cao An founded it, this place has become a paradise for rogues and idlers.
You get half of the money every month, and you get a share of the money if you place an order.
How could this be a scoundrel? The treatment was better than that of the yamen in the yamen. Apart from their poor reputation, this group of people could be considered to have entered the ranks of the well-off in the Great Song Dynasty.
Cao An was sitting in the main hall, with Chang Chun and Wu Han standing on both sides.
Arhat yelled at the top of his lungs in the room: "Stand still, are there any more rules? If you keep chirping, I will chop you down!"
Everyone fell silent.
Many new members had never seen Cao An a few times, and today they all stretched their necks to see who this generous and young boss was.
"Starting from today, Cao's Chamber of Commerce will start a lending business. Anyone who can get people to borrow money will get 10% interest on each order."
Cao An took out a piece of paper.
The rules and requirements for the loan business are clearly stated on it.
It's a pity that none of these gangsters are literate. They just scratched their heads and looked at Cao An. Their confused expressions made people laugh.
"Chang Chun, come and talk to them."
"yes!"
Chang Chun stepped forward and said loudly: "Anyone who needs to borrow money, either as a mortgage or as a guarantee, as long as they meet the requirements."
"What about the interest?" someone asked.
The rogues were illiterate, but they were very smart.
After spending all day on the streets, they are very aware of the oil and gas involved.
"Our business has just opened, and the interest rate for each order starts at 4 cents. For those with large loans, the interest rate can be reduced at our discretion. For those with excellent qualifications, we can also negotiate."
"What is an interest rate cut?"
"Also, what are qualifications?"
What a bunch of illiterate people!
Cao An was a little speechless and cursed: "Arhat, find someone who can read and write as soon as possible tomorrow. From now on, let them study for an hour every day. There will be an assessment at the end of the month. The worst one will get out!"
What?
The scoundrels were all fooled.
"Lang Jun, is this over?"
Arhat also looked shocked and said: "We are all just working on the street, is it possible that we still need to take the exam to become a scholar? Not to mention whether we are willing to learn, let's just say... no one will teach us."
The scholars of the Song Dynasty were simply golden!
At that time, Zhao Laoer said, "There is a golden house in a book", which made all the students in the world go crazy. So much so that nowadays, scholars in the Song Dynasty are so arrogant that they are so arrogant.
This group of people can't wait to rush into the court immediately and show off their ambitions and ideals, as proud as the dog's tail grass in spring...
Anyone with a little bit of knowledge would not associate with a bunch of ruffians.
Except Cao An...
You let a bunch of gangsters go to school. Isn't this funny?
"If I don't believe it if I don't believe it, I can't find a gentleman who is willing to teach at 50 kuen a month!"
Cao An also got angry and said coldly: "If you want to live well in the future, you can't do it without knowledge. Just talk about these 'loan rules', you don't even understand this, who dares to come to you to borrow money?" Even if you lend it out, if someone tampered with the IOU, who will bear the loss?"
"Lang Jun, then there's no need to go to school, right?"
Arhat smiled bitterly: "Most of the people on the street are from poor backgrounds. If you ask them to study, aren't you forcing Zhang Fei to embroider? Even if someone is willing to teach, these people..."
He glanced at the group of idle scoundrels in front of him and felt that Cao An was finally going to "feed the dog with all his heart."
A few brave rogues were also anxious.
One person said: "Boss, we are all rough people and can't learn. It's not worth it to waste so much money on you! Don't worry, we will definitely have no problem with whoever you ask us to kill in the future!"
"Yes! Reading is nonsense, but we are good at killing people!"
"Boss, can you tell me what the regulations are? I happen to know a family whose man loves gambling! As long as we make a small game to lure him into the trap, this guy will definitely come to borrow money!"
The more the rogue talked, the more excited he became: "He has a girl in his family who is fair and pretty! Even if we don't have to pay for it, it won't be a loss for us to get a little girl back! Besides, what do we do?"
"What did you say you were doing?"
Cao An's face gradually darkened.
"He runs a brothel!"
Pippy chuckled: "Bring that little girl here, we can use it ourselves, and we can also let her pick up the guests. This is a good deal with huge profits!"
There are many people doing this kind of thing on the street, and many families are forced to buy and sell their children in this way, until their families are finally ruined.
"Any more?"
Cao An suddenly smiled and stared at the rogue.
The rogue thought he was appreciated, and became even more excited: "Of course! There is a blacksmith in the west of the city, and his son has been sick all year round. Let's ask him to borrow money, and then bribe the doctor to delay the treatment... won't the money come? "
"Oh Well!"
The anger in Cao An's eyes could no longer be suppressed.
Arhat's face suddenly changed and he said quickly: "Lang Jun, please calm down. This kid belongs to Hu Qin. You must not be like him. It's not worth it..."
The rogue was not happy, and said loudly: "I don't have Hu Qin, the villain. Both of these two families have some money. Even if they don't pay, we will definitely not lose money!"
Damn it!
Cao An stood up with a groan.
Just when he was about to get angry, he suddenly sat back down.
He sneered: "Fuck you, I forgive you...Arhat, drive this person out. If I see you recruiting such a scumbag again, get out too!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Arhat covered Pipi's mouth and took him out without any explanation. He did not forget to promise: "Sir, please calm down. I promise with my head that there will never be such a person again!"
Only he, Chang Chun, and Wu Han knew that Lang Jun was really angry just now.
This young gentleman seems to be kind, but he is stubborn at heart. Even eight horses can't pull back the people and things he has identified.
But Chang Chun smiled and looked at Cao An with admiration in his eyes.
"why are you laughing?"
Cao An glanced over coldly and stared at him.
"No, it's nothing..."
Chang Chun quickly shook his head, hunched his neck and stood back a few steps.
The gangsters looked at each other, they didn't understand, why was the boss angry? And why did he drive that man out... He was right!
Anyone who is a loan shark these days is not full of evildoers?
Cao An's eyes were dark.
He stood up with a cold face, looked at the gangsters in the room, and said: "Now that we have talked about it today, I also want to say something."
Everyone stood up.
"It's true that we are rogues, but there must be a bottom line in life, right? Aren't you afraid of giving birth to a child without a butthole for such a shameful thing? Let me tell you, I can tolerate you eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, but there is one thing - you must have a conscience !”
The rogues were still confused.
They still didn't understand what Cao An was angry about.
We are hooligans to begin with. These things are all hooligans’ specialty. Why does it have to do with conscience?
Who with a conscience would become a gangster?
Do you know?
can you?
And you?
The gangsters looked at each other for a few times, and they all said two words in their minds - despicable.
