Baihualou.
Since Li Yougui invested in Wanyue Tower, Baihua Tower's business has also been affected.
But he still has the dividends from Wanyue Tower, so even if there is no business here, he can still sustain it.
Hu Wei sat in the room with some anxiety.
He hesitated for a few times, but couldn't help but said: "Brother Li, that Mr. Cao is a famously ruthless character! If he attacks someone, you have to help me deal with it!"
"Why did he attack you?"
Li Yougui smiled: "Although Cao Langjun has a lot of scoundrels under him, he is very disciplined in doing things. Let's just go back to the same code."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Hu Wei knew that he and Cao An were business partners, so he didn't dare to say anything more. He just said anxiously: "But we clearly agreed on a five-cent profit, why did it change to a four-cent profit? Is there something in this..."
He didn't dare to talk about the conspiracy because he was worried that Li Yougui would betray him.
But I really can’t figure it out. Do loan sharks think the interest rates are too high?
Four points profit...
Looking at the entire Bianliang City, there is no lower private interest rate than this.
Is Cao An a good person?
"Lao Hu, you have to speak ahead of your head!"
Li Yougui was unhappy and said with a straight face: "You must also know the name of Cao's Chamber of Commerce. It's only two thousand guan. Does Mr. Cao have to trick you? To put it bluntly, it's just two stores in Wanyuelou. The flow of water is more than 6,000 every day. You know, Mr. Cao cherishes his reputation the most. If he hears these words..."
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Hu Wei was sweating coldly: "The reputation of Cao's Chamber of Commerce is well-known throughout the outer city."
While the two were still chatting, the waiter came over and reported: "Master, shopkeeper Luo is here."
"Haha, please, please!"
Li Yougui stood up with a smile to greet him without any airs: "Brother Luo, it's really an honor for me to come here!"
Arhat was just a rogue before, and he is still a rogue now...
But behind him stands Cao An, who has countless subordinates. Who in Bianliang doesn't know his reputation now?
Arhat also laughed. He did not have any domineering temperament in his body, but had a somewhat civilized and elegant temperament.
He said politely: "Shopkeeper Li, you're welcome. Yesterday, Mr. Lang was still talking about buying you a drink. If we didn't take care of our Wanyue Building with your conscientiousness, I'm afraid we would have gone bankrupt long ago."
"Hey! Mr. Cao has defeated Li. This is what I should do. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."
Li Yougui was a little surprised by Arhat's change, and then got to the point: "Then look at what happened today..."
Luo An sat down, took out a receipt from his arms and put it on the table.
He glanced at Hu Wei and said with a smile, "This must be Shopkeeper Hu, right?"
"Luo... the shopkeeper is very polite."
Hu Wei smiled unnaturally.
He naturally knew the details of Arhat, so the more polite the other party was, the more panicked he became... Why did such a good gangster become like this?
What about his arrogance?
If a gangster is no longer arrogant, can he still be called a gangster?
"Shopkeeper Hu, please take a look. This is the loan details of our Cao Chamber of Commerce. It clearly states various loan interest rates and various standards for repayment cycles."
Arhat smiled like a gentle scholar.
Hu Wei subconsciously moved his buttocks, held it and looked at it for a long time, his brows relaxed and relaxed, as if he was struggling with something.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yougui also took a closer look, and then said: "Hey! The monthly interest rate is four cents, the annual interest rate is three cents! The daily interest rate is two and a half cents? This... I'm afraid there is nothing lower than this in the entire Bianliang!"
Hu Wei suppressed the suspicion in his heart and smiled cautiously: "Shopkeeper Luo, your detailed list says... annual interest, three-cent profit, but is it true?"
"certainly!"
Luo An nodded solemnly: "For example, if you borrow 10,000 guan and only use it for one month, that is 400 guan per month. If you borrow it for a year, it will be 3,000 guan per year."
Borrow 10,000 and pay back 13,000...it's cheap!
Nowadays, private loans are often 20% or 30%. Some people with bad debts will get 12,000 yuan per year in interest alone, and this does not include those who play tricks.
Hu Wei got a little excited and pointed to the last one and said, "What about the daily interest? If someone only borrows for one day, does that mean he only needs 250 guan of interest?"
There is no such thing as daily interest these days. Even if you borrow two hours, you will pay back the money on a monthly basis, not even a penny less!
Luo Han smiled and nodded, then shook his head and said: "Sorry, Shopkeeper Hu, regarding the daily interest lending business, we are currently only open to internal merchants of the Cao Chamber of Commerce."
Cao An integrated more than 200 shops in the outer city, and each shop paid a monthly membership fee of 500 yuan.
The money was originally intended as protection fees, and the conditions proposed by Cao An were particularly harsh, causing many merchants to eventually refuse.
Hu Wei is also one of them.
At this moment, he looked regretful and said: "Hey! Why did you quit on a certain day? If you join the Cao Chamber of Commerce, you can earn two and a half cents of interest every day... you can make money even while lying down!"
The essence of doing business is to make money make money.
Everyone understands this principle, but whether it can be implemented is another matter.
But Cao An did it!
No one expected that the Cao Chamber of Commerce would develop to such a scale in just a few months! I never expected that Wanyue Tower could make such huge profits!
Nowadays, the Cao Chamber of Commerce is not short of money, and can even use loans to make money.
Hu Wei looked at Li Yougui with envy in his eyes, unspeakable jealousy in his eyes.
Back then, Li Yougui was just the most ordinary merchant among the many merchants in the outer city, with total assets of no more than 10,000, but look at it now...
He owns two Wanyue Towers, and his annual dividends are tens of thousands.
Now Cao's Chamber of Commerce has started a loan business again, and the amount of money involved is unimaginable.
"Brother Li..."
Hu Wei opened his mouth.
Li Yougui immediately knew what he was going to say and said sternly: "No! Brother Hu, please don't say this! You won't forget the scene when you withdrew from the meeting, right? Mr. Cao is very generous and doesn't care about you. But now The Cao Chamber of Commerce is not short of the several hundred yuan dues."
At first you ignored me, but now you can't reach me!
This was a bit of a slap in the face, but Hu Wei didn't dare to get angry.
"Is there really no chance?"
He is not willing to give in!
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about the loan interest of the internal merchants... If you can get the money and then lend it out, you can really make money just lying down!
"You should know Mr. Cao's temper."
Li Yougui deliberately glanced at the Arhat next to him and said quietly: "He is polite and generous to his friends! But he has never been soft on his enemies."
"Hey, someone is blind!"
Hu Wei sighed regretfully.
Arhat looked on and felt very happy.
When Cao An first started his business, these shopkeepers were all so arrogant that they even looked down on them, the gangsters and scum on the street.
But what about now?
Lang Jun is right, things are changing!
Isn’t my Arhat starting to tremble now?
The more Hu Wei thought about it, the more unwilling he became. He could only ask bravely: "May I ask Shopkeeper Luo, can I still join the Cao Chamber of Commerce? I am willing to pay ten times the membership fee... No, a hundred times!"
"I don't know about this either."
Arhat raised his head with arrogance on his brows: "However, the Cao Chamber of Commerce currently has no plans to attract new merchants, so Shopkeeper Hu should wait a little longer. Or... you can go talk to Lang Jun in person."
Looking for Cao An?
Hu Wei subconsciously retracted his hand and thought to himself: This guy is vicious and cruel. If he is offended, he will probably become the second Jia Changjun, let alone join the society.
It is said that Jia Changjun has been having a miserable life recently!
Yichun Tower can be said to be a sparsely populated place, and has long been reduced to a place of despicable status that is even worse than a secret prostitution house. But even so, it still cannot save the fate of bankruptcy.
It is said that in order to repay previous debts, he even sold his family property.
