Taking advantage of the sweet potato incident, he turned around, and his status in the Liu family soared like a rocket, second only to Liu Sichun.
Hearing that Liu Sichun had brought back the bank's business, he was certainly happy and wondered if he could get some benefits from it, but he immediately realized that this matter was not easy to handle.
Money is the biggest problem.
As soon as these words came out, the Liu family, who were happy just a second ago, all looked at each other and were speechless.
Indeed, such a big thing requires a lot of money. Liu Sichun just revealed that at least six million taels of silver are needed. How can the Liu family get this money?
"On the way back, I thought about selling off all the Liu family's properties and properties that can be sold, except for the salt shipment, and pooling all the money I can raise."
"I estimate that I can probably scrape together five million taels of silver, and there is another one million taels. I approached the Wu family, who cooperated in the salt transportation, and said that the Liu family was willing to use 90% of the market price to provide him with salt for the next year.
, but the premise is that the Liu family’s payment for the next year must be paid in advance, which is probably enough.”
Liu Sichun's words shocked the Liu family.
"This is killing the goose that lays the egg, draining the Liu family dry. If something happens, the entire Liu family will be in ruins in an instant!"
Some people objected: "The risk is too great for such a desperate move."
This view is supported by most people.
"That's right, head of the family, let's think about it again. The Liu family's other industries can still make money. If the status quo is maintained, there will be a lot of profits in a year."
"But it's really not a good idea to sell off all the property and invest all the money in the bank. Our Liu family only holds 20% of the shares and is responsible for the management."
Some people even said tentatively: "Why don't we talk to the prince again, or give the Liu family more shares, or the Liu family will stop doing it. Anyway, our Liu family will have a very good life if we don't do this bank business."
good."
There were objections one after another, and some even wanted to go to the East Palace to bargain.
These noises made Liu Sichun's face look increasingly ugly, and just when she couldn't help but have an attack, another voice rang out.
"no!"
The one who spoke decisively was Liu Sida.
Everyone was silent and looked at Liu Sida.
Liu Sida then said: "The Liu family is a merchant family, which means that we have no other way out except doing business. We can only rely on business to make money to support our family."
"Anyone can do business, but you are all businessmen and you should know that it is us businessmen who are looked down upon the most. Even the woodcutter and fishermen on the roadside can scold us.
But do we dare to talk back? No, if we talk back, we may be reported to the police."
"Why is this? Of course it's because businessmen are humble, but more importantly, our Liu family's business is not big enough."
"If there is one thing, if the Liu family is truly as rich as the rest of the country, would anyone dare to treat us as mere businessmen? Money can kill people."
"Being able to establish a relationship with Donggong is an opportunity that many businessmen have dreamed of. The Liu family has now got this opportunity, and has also gained the power of salt luck from it. Everyone has tasted the benefits, why should you give up?"
"Our Liu family was just one of a few big businessmen in the capital before. Looking at the whole country, we are nothing. If we want to truly be included in the family of top wealthy businessmen, we must not miss this opportunity!"
