Under the arrangement of Lou Xiao'e, Wang Gang met Lou's father in a relatively private place.
Lou's father used to be known as Lou Bancheng. He was a very business-minded person. However, due to formal reasons, his life was very unsatisfactory in recent years. Before he was fifty, his hair had already turned gray.
"Xiao Wang has such a thorough understanding of the current situation at such a young age. I am indeed old, and now the world is dominated by young people." Lou Bancheng praised Wang Gang as soon as he saw him.
"Dr. Lou is not old, and he still has the courage to start over, so I admire him." Wang Gang said with a smile.
When Lou Bancheng heard this, he couldn't help but glared at his daughter Lou Xiao'e, thinking that this damn girl must have revealed everything about her family to the other party, so how could they negotiate.
"You are not an outsider, so I will tell you the truth. In fact, I have already realized something about what you said to Xiao'e yesterday, but I have never been sure." Lou Bancheng said curiously:
"Xiao Wang, how did you get this information?"
Unlike Lou Xiao'e, Lou Bancheng has always been wary of Wang Gang, otherwise he wouldn't have insisted on meeting him in person.
"I was on a business trip a few years ago and saw that many places had adopted the new trend, and many people like Mr. Lou were unlucky."
When Lou Bancheng heard this, he also had a nervous look on his face.
"Is it really that serious? Isn't Shang Mian ready to give us a chance?"
Wang Gang explained: "Shang Mian also has difficulties with Shang Mian. Now that the situation is so tense, we can only choose to sacrifice a small number of people and take care of the vast majority of people. It's just that Lou Dong is the unlucky one."
"Alas!" Lou Bancheng sighed, feeling that there were a few more wrinkles on his face.
"I have worked hard for half my life to build the foundation of the Lou family. Even back then, I supported Shang Mian. How could I end up like this?"
Lou Xiao'e saw that her father was a little unmotivated and quickly comforted him: "Dad, don't be sad. I believe our family can get through this difficulty."
Wang Gang said: "Actually, if you want to get through this difficulty, you don't have to leave."
Lou Bancheng raised his head suddenly and asked, "What can we do?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "As long as Lou Dong is willing to be cruel and donate all his family property, once his role is changed, he will naturally not be affected by the new trend."
Lou Bancheng opened his mouth and said nothing for a long time. Apparently he didn't think Wang Gang's suggestion was a good idea.
Wang Gang can also understand that no one would be willing to give away all the property he has worked so hard to build.
What's more, the method Wang Gang mentioned may not be 100% able to help the Lou family survive this crisis.
Lou Bancheng would never dare to give up all his family property to gamble on an opportunity that might not come true, no matter how courageous he was.
"Xiao Wang, actually I have contacted Tianjin Port, and there is a cargo ship heading to Xiangjiang on the twentieth day of the first lunar month."
Lou Bancheng finally decided to go to Xiangjiang with his family and some of his property to start over.
This is better than giving away all your wealth.
"I understand what Mr. Lou means. I told Sister Lou just now that I can help you, but I can't help you in vain." Wang Gang said with a smile.
When Lou Bancheng heard this, he had the same reaction as Lou Xiao'e. They were not afraid of Wang Gang's request, but they were afraid that he would not mention it, otherwise they would not be able to trust Wang Gang.
Wang Gang also thought for a long time about how to help the Lou family survive the crisis, and the most important thing was to make the Lou family believe in him.
Later, he decided that instead of getting on the pole to help, it would be better to regard helping as a transaction, which would gain the other party's trust.
A businessman's thinking has always been to put profit first. Lou Bancheng felt that Wang Gang had an agenda, so he helped him, which was more in line with human nature.
"Dad, Xiao Wang wants three large yellow croakers." Lou Xiao'e whispered in Lou Bancheng's ear.
Lou Bancheng was happy at first, but his face showed embarrassment.
"Xiao Wang! When I leave this time, I have no time to sell off a lot of my property. I don't have much property to bring to Xiangjiang. I really can't take out three large yellow croakers."
The true nature of the merchants in Loubancheng is fully exposed. In this life and death situation, they have to bargain.
"The things Sister Lou brought back to the compound were more than three large yellow croakers." Wang Gang said with a smile.
Lou Bancheng glanced at his daughter with hatred. When he asked her to take it back, didn't he tell her to avoid people?
"Director Lou, please don't tell secrets. Three big yellow croakers will allow your family of three to leave Sijiu City safely. Isn't this a good deal?"
Lou Bancheng gritted his teeth and finally nodded: "Okay! Three large yellow croakers are just three large yellow croakers, but I can't give them to you until I leave Sijiu City safely."
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "You pay one big yellow croaker first as a down payment, and you can give me the remaining two after you leave the city."
Lou Bancheng thought for a while, then nodded and agreed to Wang Gang's request.
After the three people discussed it, Lou Xiaoe took her father back, while Wang Gang left from the other direction.
On the way, Lou Xiao'e hugged her father's arm and said, "Dad, do you think we can get out of the city smoothly?"
Lou Bancheng said solemnly: "How could I know about this? I just hope everything goes well."
"Can we come back after leaving this time?" Lou Xiao'e asked.
"There will be a chance. When everything is stable, we will definitely be able to come back." Lou Bancheng said firmly.
"You go back and pack your things with your mother quickly, and take all the valuables with you. Forget about the ones that are difficult to carry." Lou Xiao'e reminded.
"I also need you to remind me that your mother and I have already begun to sell off our property and exchange it for gold and jewelry. When we get there, this will be the capital for our comeback." Lou Bancheng said angrily:
"Have you collected the three bags of things I gave you before? Take them with you when you leave this time."
"Pack it away. I listened to Wang Gang's suggestion yesterday and buried all three bags of things. I'll just dig them out when the time comes." Lou Xiao'e nodded.
"That's good. You must be careful in what you do and say in the future, and be careful with everyone. How can you tell that Wang Gang everything about our family." Lou Bancheng warned.
"I think Wang Gang doesn't have any ill intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have snatched away my three bags of jewelry long ago." Lou Xiao'e said quietly.
Lou Bancheng suddenly stopped, looked at his daughter with a strange expression, and frowned: "Do you trust that Wang Gang so much?"
"They helped me a lot," Lou Xiao'e said.
"You won't fall in love with that Wang Gang, right?" Lou Bancheng asked suspiciously.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lou Xiao'e blushed and said, "I'm older than him and I'm divorced. What's more, he has a girlfriend and will get married soon."
Lou Bancheng, who knew his daughter better than his father, felt bad in his heart when he saw that Lou Xiao'e didn't answer his question directly.
"Girl, don't be emotional. Whether our family can survive this crisis safely depends on whether Wang Gang can send us out of the city." Lou Bancheng warned his daughter.
"I know that my daughter can distinguish the important from the important." Lou Xiao'e nodded heavily and said.
