In fact, Guo Bing was not unwilling to help Lin Jue, he just wanted to attack him. Although two million taels of silver was a large amount, the palace could still come up with it. But even if he helped, Lin Jue could not take it for granted.
. And this business cannot suffer losses. After all, one of the reasons why Prince Liang’s Mansion is so rich is that Guo Bing is good at making money. Prince Liang’s Mansion even dared to open a brothel, which shows that Guo Bing will do anything to make money. If this matter were just Lin
Naturally, you can't take advantage of your son-in-law's affairs. But this is a matter of the Lin family. If the imperial court wants to slaughter the big fat sheep of the Lin family, how can you not get a share of the pie?
So, Guo Bing told Lin Jue that the entire property of the Lin family was not worth two million taels, and he could accept it, but the price had to be fair. He would not care about Lin Bonian's affairs, and would only treat it as a business.
Although Lin Jue was dissatisfied, he could only accept such conditions. After some haggling between Weng and his son-in-law, all the properties of the Lin family were sold for 1.7 million taels of silver. The remaining 300,000 were sold.
Lin Jue could only use the princess's dowry money to make up for the two taels. Although Lin Jue felt sad, but important matters were important, and money was only secondary. Besides, these three hundred thousand taels of silver bought more than just Lin Bonian's.
One life.
As for the plan proposed by Lin Jue to repay 550,000 taels of silver in one year and redeem it in five years, Guo Bing dismissed it as a joke. Guo Bing almost without thinking agreed to this impossible plan proposed by Lin Jue.
An alternative plan. Because in terms of income, even if this plan is successful, Prince Liang's Mansion will benefit from a principal of 1.7 million taels of silver and a profit of 1.05 million taels. This is comparable to doing business.
You can make a lot of money, and you can definitely make a profit without losing anything. And from a feasibility point of view, Guo Bing believes that with the Lin family's property, they can make a profit of more than 200,000 taels of silver a year, 550,000 taels? What a joke.
In any case, Lin Jue achieved his goal. When he found the prince to take over the Lin family's property and become the nominal owner, Lin Jue not only wanted to quickly raise the two million taels of silver, but also for the sake of the Lin family's business. Because at the moment
Under this situation, the Lin family is on the verge of collapse, and its business will be greatly affected.
First of all, the water transportation along the two Zhejiang roads, which brings the Lin family an income of 100,000 taels of silver every year, can no longer be escorted in the name of the Lin family shipping company. In the past, many shipping companies were keen on poaching. If the Lin family were not generous enough, and
If Lin Bonian and Zhang Jun had a close interest relationship, they would have been robbed long ago. This is one of the reasons why the Lin family was most aggressive in Hangzhou's shipping industry and annexed it without union. But now the Lin family's industry has been taken away by Prince Liang
If they buy at the bottom of the market, then the Lin Family Shipping Company will no longer have the surname Lin. With Liang Wang sitting behind the scenes, the water transportation business will definitely not be lost. After all, apart from the Lin Family Shipping Company, no other shipping company in the two Zhejiang Roads has such a scale and escort services.
Experience. Once the shipbuilding company changes ownership to Liang Wang, it will definitely be done by the Lin family.
Moreover, the rest of the Lin family's business is also nominally owned by Prince Liang, which is even more conducive to business. Prince Liang has been cultivating the Liangzhe Road for a long time, and officials of all sizes are buying into the prince's account, and all the Lin family's businesses will also benefit from it.
This is called pulling the flag and pulling off the tiger's skin, using Prince Liang's name to help the Lin family overcome this difficult situation. Of course, for the Lin family, this time almost destroyed everything they had accumulated in the past, whether it was Uncle Lin or not.
The downfall in 2008 and the economic losses were all immeasurable and the vitality was greatly damaged. But Lin Jue learned a trick from Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru called 'no destruction, no establishment'. This catastrophe and reshuffle of the Lin family may not be the same thing.
A bad thing may be a rebirth from the ashes.
…
Guo Bing was surprised that Lin Boyong and Lin Jue finally decided to choose the second option. In his opinion, this was impossible. But Guo Bing didn't care. As long as the Lin family could meet those requirements, he didn't want to
Pursuing the Lin family's property. Moreover, it is impossible for the Lin family to pay a huge sum of 550,000 taels of silver every year, so why not be more generous.
In Lin Boyong's words, Guo Bing heard a piece of information that surprised him, that is, Lin Boyong thought that he had given out two million taels of silver and was always grateful. In fact, he had only given out 1.7 million taels.
Guo Bing realized that Lin Jue must have made up for the three hundred thousand taels, and did not say anything. Guo Bing did not reveal this. After all, Lin Jue portrayed himself as someone who saved the Lin family from disaster, and he did not
It was necessary to break it. But what Guo Bing didn't understand was, why did Lin Jue do this? There was no need for him to spend this huge sum of money on his own. The Lin family should still be able to come up with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but no matter what,
Their houses and houses can still be sold.
The answer to this question was answered later when the agreement was signed. When Lin Jue signed the agreement as the head of the Lin family, Guo Bing suddenly had an enlightenment.
After Lin Boyong and Lin Jue left, when Guo Bing and his son were sitting in the study room chatting, Guo Bing expressed emotion to the young prince Guo Kun.
"It's amazing, it's amazing. I'm not the only one who can take grain from the fire. This Lin Jue is really amazing, amazing."
"Father, what is this? Why do you suddenly respect your brother-in-law so much? What on earth did he do? Blackmail Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru? This is indeed outrageous, but it is not actually a threat. Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru are
You will only agree to him if you think it will be beneficial. The conditions are just right." Guo Kun said with a smile.
"Kun'er, you don't understand. Lin Jue's methods are really clever. It's just a matter of persuading Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru. Do you know what he did in this matter? He won over the head of the Lin family.
Position. He... is the concubine of the third brother of the Lin family. In terms of seniority, he will never be ranked as the head of the Lin family, but he really did it. This is not that simple, just like... just like...
...You and I are just like father and son... We can only watch some seats, and it will never be our turn. Although this analogy is not suitable, it is still close. The distance between Lin Jue and the head of the Lin family is just like the distance between you and me, father and son, and that
The distance between the positions is average, and there is an insurmountable abyss in the middle. You can't cross it unless you have wings, and he did it." Guo Bing said softly.
"This... After the father said this, the son felt that he was really a bit evil? It seems that he can't get his turn no matter what, right?"
Guo Kun didn't think it was a big deal about Lin Jue becoming the head of the family at first, but when Guo Bing said this, he suddenly realized that it was indeed something remarkable. The head of the Lin family lived in the third room, and Lin Jue was a bastard in the third room.
That's all. This status alone is already very difficult. Moreover, the two direct sons of Lin's family and the two direct sons of the second wife can't get his turn. The position of the head of the family is not about talent, but about status and status.
It's the position. Not to mention that Lin Boyong and Lin Bonian are still alive. Lin Boyong is not the only one. Lin Boyong is willing to give up the head of the family, which is even more amazing. And so many young masters of the Lin family actually agree, which is really incredible.
.
"Hehe, this is what makes people admire. According to my analysis, he has been eyeing the position of the head of the Lin family from the beginning. This time when the Lin family is in crisis, he is given an opportunity." Guo Bing sighed.
"How do you think the father talks to his son about everything he does?" Guo Kun asked.
"If you don't ask, I will explain it to you in detail. Kun'er, do you know why Lin Jue fought so hard to save Lin Bonian? He even went so far as to threaten Yan Zhengsheng and Fang Dunru?"
"This... didn't he say that he would not give up on everyone in the Lin family?"
"Hey, you believe what he said. Saving Lin Bonian and not saving Lin Bonian will have a huge difference in the impact on the Lin family. Lin Bonian committed such a big thing, and he actually deserves to die. The Lin family he implicated will have to be fined ten
The two million taels of silver obtained from water transportation in the past year have naturally had a huge impact on the Lin family. However, the Lin family has lost nothing more than the shipping business. Other properties such as shops and manors and the acres of manor purchased outside Hangzhou are still there. The Lin family is not
We are at the end of our rope. It can be said that if it was for the sake of the entire Lin family, Lin Bonian should definitely not save him."
Guo Kun nodded slowly and said: "What the father said is absolutely true. Now in order to save him, all the Lin family's property has to be taken away. The Lin family has nothing. What is the difference between such a Lin family and falling apart? What you have paid to save Lin Bonian
The price is too high. But Lin Jue can't bear this debt. Maybe the Lin family really doesn't want to give up anyone in the family and would rather go bankrupt."
Guo Bing chuckled and said: "Do you believe this? Do the Lin family really love each other so much? Are they harmonious? In Hangzhou before, Lin Jue was a lot of angry. Do you still remember Lin Jue helped Wangyue Tower defeat Wanhua Tower and Qunfang in the Oiran Competition?
Is it about the pavilion?"
Guo Kun said: "Why don't you remember? We didn't know Lin Jue at all at that time, and suddenly he appeared and even Sima Qingshan and Dongfang Weiming were no match. This caused our palace to be terribly embarrassed. My father even got angry afterwards.
.”
Guo Bing frowned and said, "Those two bitches, Moti Sima Qingshan and Dongfang Weiming, are lucky to be killed by Lin Jue. If I catch them, I will kill them with a single blow."
Guo Kun smacked his lips and thought to himself: I'm afraid you don't hate Sima Qingshan and Dongfang Weiming for being rude, but you hate them for forcibly pairing the girl with Lin Jue. It seems that your knot is still unresolved.
"After that Oiran competition, I met Lin Boyong at Wangchao Tower. Lin Boyong promised on the spot to expel Lin Jue from the Lin family to protect himself. If it hadn't been for the robbery of his birthday gift, Lin Jue would have been expelled from the Lin family.
.Think about it, if the Lin family was truly united and friendly and refused to give up anyone in the family, how could Lin Boyong expel Lin Jue in order to protect himself? Later there were rumors that Lin Jue and Lin Bonian forced Lin Boyong to give up the title of head of the family.
What about his position? Many people were present and witnessed it with their own eyes. This is enough to show that the Lin family is not a friendly and friendly family as Lin Jue said. What Lin Jue said is all nonsense. I even doubt that the eldest son of the Lin family, Lin Ke,
There are tricks to death. If you do well, you will drown in the West Lake? Who are you fooling?"
Guo Bing smacked his lips and rolled his eyes with disdain on his face.
