C1406 All sheep

In order to get the Prime Minister's help, there would have to be a price to pay. If Xiao Letian did not want anything else, he had to pay for it! Although the cause of the financial crisis in Jiangnan was not Xiao Letian's primary cause, he still played the role of the bandit in the final stage of the crisis.

Xiao Letian also spared no effort to save the market, because he was very clear that not only had the wealth of Jiangnan been plundered but also countless of its citizens.

At that time, Xiao Letian was still facing the threat of being threatened by the Expeditionary forces of Sha Russia, but he had still transferred all his military spending to support the market. He had even used Nan Yang's food to support the market, but the opponent was too strong and too vicious, the Qing Dynasty and the foreign devil had combined their efforts to destroy the market, and the rumors had spread far and wide.

It would be a lie to say that they were not angry, as the Letian Firm had made many detailed budgets before. They thought that if one third of the people in Jiangnan chose to support the southern side of the bill, then the financial war would not end up in such a state.

However, the reality was too cruel. Over 90% of the people chose to protect themselves in the midst of danger, and all chose to follow the flow. This kind of large trend was not something that Xiao Letian's forces could resist.

In the end, the greedy and foolish citizens had angered Xiao Letian. Since they had chosen to abandon him, then they might as well hurt each other!

After that, the Chinese side had to play with foreign devils, Qing Dynasty and the entire population's funds. They established the Gambling to use people's gambling mentality to set up the market, and then purposely released all kinds of fake information to lure the people in.

In the end, the American Merchant Shipping released the news of their defeat, which was a Chinese conspiracy.

Jiang Nan's wealth had been plundered, following that, Xiao Letian released the news of his true victory, and used his influence to quickly restore the credit of the paper money. As long as the food and taxes were tied up, the paper money's credit would be restored.

With money, Xiao Letian would never give up with such a name! In the future, the Chinese would slowly eat up Jiangnan until it became clear to everyone. This was to ensure that the Prime Minister did not have any bad reputation.

The telegraph instructions that Liu Chouchu received stated that before the Prime Minister's funds could come to the rescue market, they had to harmonize all the Big Merchant's thoughts, especially those with the same caliber.

The black pot was for the foreign devils and corrupt officials to carry, while the Prime Minister carried the reputation of a savior. This was the minimum requirement. If he did not agree to this, then there was no hope of saving the market.

Liu Chouchu and Wang Liuyi understood the Prime Minister's words tacitly, so they decided to convene a Hundred Streams Meet to invite all the top merchants from the region together.

Every one of the biggest merchants would influence dozens or even hundreds of small ones. It was very effective for them to advertise those people. Basically, those people would believe whatever the big boss said, but no one dared to question him.

And those small merchants at the most basic level would directly deal with ordinary citizens. During the process of doing business and chatting, these small merchants would be able to instigate these kinds of ideas among the common folk, and eventually make all the citizens of Jiangnan accept the Prime Minister's point of view.

It was needless to say that the subtext between the two parties had already stated that if one was inexperienced in business or had a lack of wisdom, he or she would not understand it at all.

Everyone understood each other, so there was no need to say that everyone understood it!

Seeing how the merchants were acting, Liu Chouchu and Wang Liuyi felt extremely gratified. The meeting had just reached the real crucial point, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, but no one felt hungry at all.

Closing the door, the disciples of the s started to spread out a perimeter of security outside the door. No one was allowed to get close, Liu Chouchu stood up and paced around the hall.

"I know what all of you are thinking! Wasn't it just wanting the Letian Bank to go easy like before? "Let me tell you the truth, behind the counter, there are 150 million south tickets, enough for us to survive through this crisis!"

When they heard that there was a hundred and fifty million yuan worth of rescue funds, everyone felt as if they had just drunk a mouthful of honey water. They all heaved a sigh of relief, but soon after, Liu Chouchu changed the topic and his voice became serious.

"But have you thought about it? Loans require interest! I've never heard of a loan being given to you for free... "You are all experts in business, so you all naturally know what is going on with people's usury!"

"So what if you want to beat around the bush? "The monthly interest rate is 5 points, and they are all short-term loans of one to two months' duration. If you don't pay back the interest then you'll double it. Do you guys think you can afford to borrow it?"

"Do you want to settle accounts once a year?" "Alright then, your lamb's breath is waiting for you. If you borrow one hundred at the start of the year, you'll need to double it to two hundred at the end of the year. Can you handle it?"

"Not to mention that there's still sitting around picking one, it's worth a hundred drawing ten and so on. I think everyone here has seen and even experienced the suffering of usury before …"

Seeing that everyone's face was pale, Liu Chouchu hurriedly said, "Of course, Letian Bank might not be able to do this, it would be too wicked. According to what the people say, if it is beneficial, then it is a thief, our interest rate will definitely not exceed 30%!"

"Three percent means three percent. A hundred and fifty million yuan in huge assets will give out 4.5 million in interest every month. That's 54 million yuan a year!"

"All you big bosses, think about it carefully. If I pull out 54 million yuan in cash from Suzhou every year, will you earn anything?" All of you are from the same hometown, so why are you thinking about how much profit you can make in a year from all of your hundred industries? "

"Even if we add them all up, with this many, we'll take them all. Aren't you guys still going to have to borrow money to start work next year?" When that happens, you will be slaves for all eternity! "

Crash, it was Boss Jia's teacup rolling on the ground, looking like a dead son with a sullen face "What can we do? What choice do we have? This is a natural disaster! "

"We can't afford to lend them to you at a high interest rate. The tickets and banks don't even have such a large amount of wealth, who do we expect the Prime Minister's Letian Bank to expect right now?"

"Wuwuwu …" So what if it's three points, we have to survive! "

Immediately, the hall was filled with sighs and choked with sobs!

Boss Jia said the thoughts of all the people present. Let alone the destitute citizens, even if they, the sellers, could survive, how many would actually exist in this world?

Natural and man-made disasters, war and plague … could money avoid them? Who told the Great Qing to be so weak, if they were weak, they would have to die!

"We are all sheep! They were all lambs waiting to be slaughtered! "Sob, sob, sob …"
