When Lin Ye arrived, people from Beiguo Bank had just come out of Lin Xiaofeng's room.
It seemed that they had not reached an agreement. The manager Andre's expression was gloomy. When he looked up and saw Lin Ye, he recognized him as the son of Duke Dan'an, even though his appearance was disfigured.
Andre wanted to say hello and express goodwill, but he saw seven or eight guards behind Lin Ye, each holding a stick.
The key is that there is an old man who also holds a big stick.
Don't underestimate Lin Bo. When he was young, he also traveled through the world. Once he was chased by an enemy. Later, he was rescued by Lin Ye's grandfather. Since then, he has washed his hands and worked peacefully.
"Forehead……"
Obviously it wasn't like this last time...
Andre came here alone in good faith. He was just a civilian.
The combat effectiveness of Northland Bank is the debt collector and executive officer [Gongzi].
Lin Ye also saw Andre. Since he was an NPC in the game, Lin Ye suffered from prosopagnosia and didn't recognize who he was. However, looking at his appearance, he didn't look like an ordinary employee.
Unlike Andre who was frightened, Lin Ye showed the same demeanor he had when he was helpful to others in Ozang Mountain. Behind him stood the fellow's brother, giving Andre what he thought was a kind smile.
"Hello, my name is Lin Ye. I wonder who you are, sir?" Lin Ye was very polite.
"...Young Master Lin Ye has never seen me before, please introduce yourself. Andre, currently serves as the manager of Beiguo Bank."
"Mr. Andre, I wonder why Beiguo Bank is here?" Lin Ye asked politely.
"Oh, it's just a matter of discussing business with your father... There is an old saying in Liyue, harmony brings wealth."
Andre was the manager after all, the biggest migrant worker at Beiguo Bank. He quickly regained his composure.
At this time, Mr. Dan An came out of the room and saw the battle array set up by Uncle Lin. He couldn't laugh or cry, and pretended to scold, "Go away! Don't be embarrassed here, lest word get out that our Lin family has failed to treat guests." "
"Yes, yes." Andre agreed.
"Mr. Dan An, it's getting late. Let's say goodbye. Beiguo Bank is very sincere. I hope you can consider it again and look forward to your change of heart."
Lin Xiaofeng nodded and said nothing.
After Andre left, Lin Xiaofeng glanced at Lin Ye, and then put his eyes on Lin Bo's face, who laughed sarcastically.
Helplessly shaking his head, Lin Xiaofeng returned to the room.
Lin Ye thought for a while and followed in.
The remaining Lin Bo saw that the matter was over and rushed the servants to do what they should do.
Lin Xiaofeng sat on the chair on the right and motioned for Lin Ye to sit on the chair on the left.
"If you have anything you want to ask, just ask Aye." Lin Xiaofeng picked up the account book, flipped through a few pages, and said.
"What is the purpose of Beiguo Bank's visit this time?" Lin Ye asked bluntly.
"Cooperation." Lin Xiaofeng said calmly.
Changhong Bank has been operating for a long time, and its business is not only bank business, but also involved in various industries. It also has shares in Heyu Teahouse, Yanshang Teahouse, Toon Kiln, Wanwen Jishe and other places. Even as far away as Mondstadt, there are several manors under its control.
After Beiguo Bank settled in Liyue Port, it used its abundant capital to suppress and annex small banks. At the same time, it also actively purchased shares in other shops in Liyue Port, striving to become the largest leader.
This will inevitably lead to a deadly enemy situation with Changhong Bank.
In fact, after establishing a firm foothold, Beiguo Bank faced the biggest challenge, which was Changhong Bank.
Initially, Beiguo Bank relied on its superior system and management methods to take advantage of Changhong Bank in many competitions.
However, one sentence can describe Lin Xiaofeng's biggest philosophy in running a bank.
As early as when Beiguo Bank first settled in Liyue, Lin Xiaofeng was keenly aware of the devastating impact that Beiguo Bank's operation had on Liyue's finance.
As the oldest bank, under the management of Lin Xiaofeng, it has washed away the decadence and rigidity of the past, and humbly learned the system from Beiguo Bank, while retaining the advantages of bank operation.
Because Lin Xiaofeng was nostalgic for the past, the name of Changhong Bank was retained.
So, when the biggest local snake has the same advanced business methods as you, the outcome is clear.
In terms of reputation, Changhong Bank has a long history and is well-known in Liyue Port; in terms of capital, this is Liyue, not Winter Country, and Beiguo Bank is really not as strong as Changhong Bank.
Northland banks were in dire straits.
It's a pity that there are very few people who are as open-minded as Lin Xiaofeng. Like Mr. De'an, he is relatively stubborn and has poor management. In addition, he encountered bad things and eventually went bankrupt.
Therefore, the business of Beiguo Bank is still booming, but there is always a strong dragon weighing on its head.
Lin Xiaofeng sighed and continued.
"They have given up the idea of acquisition and plan to achieve a win-win situation. With the help of Changhong Bank's qualifications and Beiguo Bank's means, they will annex the entire bank in Liyue Port. By then, local people and businessmen will put Mora in our place. , our two families completely control the bank business in Liyue Port."
"Of course, each family has its own breakdown of specific affairs, so let's not talk about these for now." Lin Xiaofeng knew that Lin Ye didn't understand these, so he didn't elaborate.
In the past, Lin Xiaofeng listened to Mu Xiaojin and let Lin Ye freely choose what he was interested in doing.
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this and blurted out something.
"monopoly?"
"Monopoly? This word describes it very appropriately." Lin Xiaofeng nodded in approval.
"...So you agree?"
Lin Xiaofeng stood up, clasped his hands, turned his back to Lin Ye, and said disdainfully, "Aye, don't you know who I am as a person? This kind of road that cuts off people's paths must never be done."
"Changhong Bank has been the top bank in Liyue Port over the years. Even so, there are still several banks that can join forces to compete with us."
"Is this because I can't deal with it? Wrong! I just remember the family motto left by my ancestors: fullness leads to loss, and thin water flows. Whenever you do things, keep a thin line, and the same is true in business."
"It's really ridiculous. Even if you make a lot of money by then, your reputation and brand will be ruined."
"Besides, he is an outsider, why should I help him? The Jade Pavilion is still floating in the sky, and Tianquan Star will not allow it."
Lin Xiaofeng shook his head, and then looked at Lin Ye with a cautious and suspicious look on his face.
"You can never underestimate your enemy. I have secretly fought with Beiguo Bank many times over the years. Although he has won less and lost more, he still can't be underestimated. He still has some tricks."
"The cooperation proposed by Andre of Northland Bank seems to be a win-win situation, but anyone with a sense of the overall situation will think it is inappropriate. Northland Bank is not that stupid. I'm afraid there is something hidden."
"What I'm worried about is that Beiguo Bank is planning something big and wants to impeach Changhong Bank."
"Beiguo Bank is a bank on the surface, but it secretly engages in loan sharking. As far as I know, debt collectors will be called debt collectors to collect debts for those who do not repay their debts. People disappear from time to time, and Qianyan Army cannot trace them. Beiguo Bank is not just a bank. It’s as simple as a bank.”
"It is rumored that the [young master] of the executive officer of the Fools of Winter Kingdom is operating in the Northland Bank. I have never seen this person before."
Lin Xiaofeng was worried that the Fools' Executives would be involved, and it would become more than just a business war.
Hearing this, Lin Ye was also thinking about what Beiguo Bank was doing.
In the mission of the Demon God of Liyue, the young master used the 100-proof Barrier to awaken the Demon God Osel and flood Liyue.
At this time, has the brother-control and battle-crazy Dadalia obtained the No-No-Taboos?
"Aye, you don't need to take these things to heart. I will take care of them. You can rest in peace and recover... Next time, don't put yourself in danger. Your own safety is the most important." Lin Xiaofeng said.
"……Um."
After Lin Ye left, Lin Xiaofeng sat in a chair with his eyes closed, thinking about the purpose of Beiguo Bank.
People who do business do it for profit after all.
Lin Xiaofeng thought about Beiguo Bank using Changhong Bank as a shield to resist Tianquanxing's accountability, and also thought about setting a trap in the contract to trick him.
Lin Xiaofeng is confident in handling these matters.
Because of this, Lin Xiaofeng wondered what the purpose of Beiguo Bank was.
Andre came here to talk about cooperation. Thinking of Beiguo Bank's style and rumors, Lin Xiaofeng felt that it was a warning.
We put civilization on the table to discuss business, and then resorted to force after breaking up.
Beiguo Bank must be trying to gain something from Changhong Bank. Lin Xiaofeng initially thought it was the entire industry, but now he increasingly feels that Beiguo Bank is doing it for a higher level of organizational action.
What exactly do they want?
After a long time, Lin Xiaofeng opened his eyes and rubbed his temples, showing a lonely expression.
Although Xiao Jin is as ignorant of business matters as Lin Ye, every time when Lin Xiaofeng is frowning, Xiao Jin will massage his temples and cheer him up.
Now, she is gone.
Lin Xiaofeng stood up with a determined expression.
No matter what, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it with earth.
…………
Tianheng Mountain, a cave in the depths.
"Oh, I've finally come back to life." Yixiao guide Tianzhenjun said happily with a sigh of immortality.
Mandrill asked with an expressionless face.
"How are you doing?"
