Li Xiangfeng has been in a very good mood recently, with a smile on his face.
Since the meeting started two months ago, many banks have joined forces to invest a lot of money in hoarding properties.
He himself didn't expect the effect to be so good.
In a city, in just a few days, housing prices have been rapidly raised several times, literally one price per day.
The bank's intervention is just a trigger. The important thing is that the big families and noble gentry also join in hoarding houses, otherwise the effect will not be so good.
After a period of time, when people come to the market and sell the houses in batches, it will definitely be a beautiful turnaround.
Li Xiangfeng smiled even happier when he thought of this.
"Sir, has something good happened?" asked the old servant next to him.
"Of course there are good things."
Li Xiangfeng laughed and looked up at the moonlight in the sky. It was so beautiful.
Then he took his servants into Sihai Restaurant.
Sihai Restaurant is also affiliated to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, but it is not in the same system as the bank.
After entering the restaurant, greetings came from everywhere, and Li Xiangfeng responded with his hands.
Then we went to the top floor with the waiter in the store.
On the top floor, a middle-aged man wearing a green gown was already drinking tea.
"I've seen Manager Cheng." Li Xiangfeng bowed.
Manager Cheng is the person in charge of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in the capital. He is responsible for all the business of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in the capital. He is Li Xiangfeng's immediate boss.
Manager Cheng smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Li, please take a seat. In the past two months, shopkeeper Li has been in the limelight. Your boss has specially sent a letter saying that they are optimistic about you."
Li Xiangfeng felt happy when he heard this.
There are many owners of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, but he knows who the owner that Manager Cheng is talking about is.
"My boss is worried about me, so this is what I should do." Li Xiangfeng replied with a smile on his face.
Manager Cheng nodded slightly.
He also feels relatively satisfied with the current market situation, after all, a large sum of money is about to come.
He also has a share of credit for Li Xiangfeng's achievements.
But that's it.
"The housing hoarding issue is now gradually beginning to ferment. Even the housing prices in Beijing have increased by more than 20%, and are still showing an upward trend."
"We haven't taken any action here in the capital. This shows how big the impact is. If it really starts to rise, it is estimated that there will be a huge increase."
"After we withdraw, the court will definitely be outraged. With His Majesty's character, will you still be able to escape unscathed if we start to investigate?"
"What things can be done in this capital that can be hidden from His Majesty and His Majesty the Grandson?"
Manager Cheng said slowly.
Following Manager Cheng's words, beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Li Xiangfeng's forehead.
Only then did he realize that he might have offended His Majesty and his grandson.
"Your Majesty, your great grandson, don't worry about a little person like me. Besides, I can't do this alone." Li Xiangfeng's tone contained a bit of luck.
Manager Cheng smiled and said, "I don't know about that. Maybe it will happen, maybe it won't."
He was obviously too lazy to say anything more.
As adults, you are already fifty years old when you realize your destiny. Naturally, you have to take responsibility for the things you do.
When Li Xiangfeng heard this, his heart trembled.
If Manager Cheng had said more, he wouldn't have thought anything of it. Instead, he would have looked so unconcerned, which would have frightened him even more.
Your Majesty's grandson, do you really not care?
Speaking of which, I am only one of several people who proposed this strategy, so I don't necessarily think I will take the blame alone.
But.
Regarding His Majesty's character, does it make any difference whether there are a few people or dozens or hundreds of people?
No.
Anyone who offends His Majesty, not to mention hundreds, but thousands or even thousands, will die.
Thinking of this, Li Xiangfeng fell to his knees and said, "Guanshi Cheng, please save me."
At this moment, all pride disappeared.
Manager Cheng was shocked when he saw this.
Although he is a steward in the capital area, and his status is obviously one level higher than that of Li Xiangfeng, in fact, whether he is a big shopkeeper of a bank, or a big shopkeeper of a restaurant or factory, he controls the real power and does not know how to do anything.
Be afraid of yourself.
Especially in terms of oil and water, they have much more than themselves.
Privately, managers also know that the respect they have for them only comes from the bosses behind them, and that's all it really matters.
Most of the time, I don't take myself seriously.
Manager Cheng is also very clear about his personal position on weekdays. He is just a mouthpiece for his boss. He receives some benefits on a daily basis. Of course, he turns a blind eye to other matters.
But now, as one of the most important bank bosses among the many bosses, he actually knelt down.
"Shopkeeper Li, what are you doing? Get up quickly, get up quickly, there is no need to be like this, there is no need to be like this."
While Manager Cheng was secretly happy, a slightly exaggerated look of surprise appeared on his face.
Li Xiangfeng was able to reach the position of the head of the bank, and of course he was a good person. Just by glancing at him from the corner of his eye, he could tell what Manager Cheng was thinking.
Holding Steward Cheng's arm, he stood up.
At the same time, he said in a trembling voice: "Manager Cheng, you must save my whole family. In the past few years, I have worked hard for my boss without any merit. I cannot vent my anger to His Majesty like this."
"As long as Manager Cheng gives me a hand, I will definitely prepare a generous gift here, which will definitely satisfy Manager Cheng."
I can't bear to let my child catch the wolf.
After realizing the seriousness of the matter, Li Xiangfeng felt more and more that his life was in danger.
And the only one who can save me from His Majesty and Grandson is the boss behind the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, as Manager Cheng said, my life may be like an ant to His Majesty's great grandson.
Maybe he doesn't care, maybe he just crushes him to death.
There is a certain amount of chance here.
But does Li Xiangfeng dare to bet? Does he dare to risk his own life that His Majesty and the grandson will pay attention to him?
He didn't dare.
After living for such a long time, the older people get, the more afraid of death they become.
If he were around 20 now, he might take this gamble, but now he doesn't have the same enthusiasm as before.
"Okay, since Shopkeeper Li is so sincere, I am not that ignorant person."
"Now, if something really happens, then no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can protect you, not even my boss."
"So the top priority now is that Shopkeeper Li can only leave Daming first to avoid this dispute."
Manager Cheng said bluntly.
When Li Xiangfeng heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "What does Manager Cheng mean by letting me take refuge in the Japanese country? That's not a bad idea."
The real owner behind the Sihai Chamber of Commerce is the Japanese country.
Although Li Xiangfeng didn't know which feudal prince he was, it was really good to go to Japan.
Manager Cheng's face turned dark when he heard this.
After a slight pause, he said: "The Japanese country is indeed good, but it cannot really avoid this disaster. If His Majesty sends an edict to the Japanese country to kill you, Mr. Li, you said that even if your employer comes forward, you may not be able to save it.
"
"The current Japanese state is said to be dominated by vassal kings, but in fact it is also controlled by the Ming Dynasty."
Li Xiangfeng nodded.
This is true.
Although he has never been to the Japanese country, he reads the Di newspaper every day, and he still knows something about it from the Di newspaper.
Several vassal kings acted in the Japanese country, and they had to obey orders and could not just do whatever they wanted.
"What does Cheng Guanshi mean, the Nanyang countries?" Li Xiangfeng asked again.
Manager Cheng shook his head.
When we get to this point, we can speak directly.
"I won't hide it from you. My employer has sent a large number of private soldiers to Luzon. The Luzon area is currently short of men."
"If Shopkeeper Li is willing to go to Luzon, his life will be safe. Even if the Jinyi Guards investigate, how can they find him?"
Li Xiangfeng frowned when he heard the word Lu Song.
The word "barren" is not enough to describe Luzon. It is simply a land of barbarians.
Going to Luzon is no different from being exiled.
Looking at Li Xiangfeng's expression, Manager Cheng coughed twice.
"Luzon is a little barren, but it is also the time when it is most short of people. There are some military men there now, and it is most in need of talented people like Shopkeeper Li to go there."
"Besides, it's not like you won't be able to come back after leaving. After three or five years, when the limelight is gone, when Shopkeeper Li returns to Ming Dynasty, wouldn't it be the same thing?"
"And since Shopkeeper Li has made great achievements in Luzon, my boss will not treat you badly."
Manager Cheng persuaded.
Li Xiangfeng's face flickered between bright and dark. After a while, he bowed and sighed, "Then I'll have to worry about the arrangements for you."
Cheng Guanshi was very happy.
He didn't expect that he would actually persuade Shopkeeper Li.
Some time ago, I received news from my employer asking him to find some outstanding talents to go to Luzon. This put Manager Cheng in a very difficult position.
These days, unless they really can't survive anymore, who would want to go to such a barbaric land?
Even the scholar from Luosun Mountain shook his head when he heard Lu Song.
What the boss needs is obviously knowledgeable scholars.
Although Shopkeeper Li has no fame or fame, his knowledge is not bad at all and he is particularly good at management. Otherwise, it would not be his turn to be the boss of Sihai Bank in the capital.
Not only did he fulfill his boss's instructions, but he also gained the favor of Shopkeeper Li and made a fortune along the way.
It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
"When does Shopkeeper Li think it's a good time to leave?" Manager Cheng asked.
Li Xiangfeng only hesitated for a moment, and then said directly: "My heart is pounding, and I always feel like something bad has happened."
"I can't stay in this capital for an hour. Of course, the sooner the better."
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's just do it tonight, so as not to spend a long night with too many dreams."
Now that he had made up his mind to leave, Li Xiangfeng did not hesitate at all.
Now that I think about it, I will suffer a lot every day in the capital, so I might as well just run away.
"That's fine, but what is Shopkeeper Li's business in the capital like? We can't just ignore it," Manager Cheng asked, the implication of which was very obvious.
Li Xiangfeng didn't hesitate and said immediately: "I can't take these house deeds with me from Luzon, so I'll just ask the steward to help deal with it this time."
Manager Cheng was overjoyed: "Okay, shopkeeper Li, don't worry, I will arrange everything properly."
This is considered a benefit.
Manager Cheng gave me a contact address in Guangdong, and that was the person behind it.
After returning directly to the house, he ordered to pack up Xinruan and ran away with his family without any intention of dragging his feet.
The next day.
Manager Cheng got up early in the morning.
In other words, there is no intention to sleep at all.
Last night he got all the house deeds from Li Xiangfeng, and also signed the transfer deed and took his fingerprints.
He only needs to go to the house of the capital government office in the morning and change the name of the house deed to bring these properties under his control.
"Damn it, this bank is really rich. There are seven deeds to the house and thirteen shops. How much money has this guy made?"
Steward Cheng collected the property deeds in his arms and headed straight to the household with his servants.
When we arrived, the government office was not open yet, but there were already many people queuing up.
There are now more people in the capital, so there are naturally more people involved in real estate deed transactions.
"Let me tell the people in front of you. Sir, I don't want to wait. Each person has 50 guan notes. Let me be the first in line."
Manager Cheng looked at the dozen or so people in front of him and directly gave instructions to the servants.
Fifty guan of treasure money per person, which adds up to only 600 to 700 guan of money, is not worth a night in a brothel.
I have a house deed worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in my arms, and according to the current market situation, it is about to rise. In comparison, a few hundred dollars is nothing.
The servant immediately went forward to negotiate.
This is what it is now. In the past, there was no need for this.
Nowadays, the laws are strict. Even if an official comes, he has to line up according to the rules and does not get any privileges.
If the treasure opens the way, the steward will naturally be ranked first.
Fifty Guan notes, if you don't make money, you won't make it in vain. Who can have trouble with money?
However, wait until the door opens.
A piece of news made Manager Cheng panic.
The clerk of the household did not ask the manager to handle the matter first, but posted a notice on the door.
Since the manager is close, he can naturally see clearly.
Sales restriction order!
"With so many house deeds, I'm afraid I won't be able to apply for them. According to the latest regulations, in terms of housing, from today onwards, each person can have at most two houses in his name."
"Bring your household registration, I will first check if there are other houses in your name. If so, these houses cannot be traded."
"But under the regulations, there will be no problem with the shops for the time being. It's up to you to see if you want to change it."
Listening to the official's voice, Manager Cheng felt that his mind was in a daze.
It's not that he cares about not being able to get these other courtyards under his name, after all, there are still so many shops.
But the regulations of this sales restriction order will completely destroy the current good situation.
In order to hoard houses, the Sihai Chamber of Commerce invested almost all of its working capital, waiting to make a big profit. However, under this rule, it was equivalent to losing all of it.
"Hey, why are you so dazed? Do you want to do it or not? If not, just get out of the way. There are so many people queuing up behind you."
The official urged.
Manager Cheng came to his senses and asked quickly: "Excuse me, is this sales restriction order only in the capital, or does it apply to other places as well."
The official replied: "Of course it refers to the entire Ming Dynasty."
Manager Cheng felt a chill in his heart: It’s over.
