The sound in the meeting hall was almost louder than the sound of gunfire from the navy just now.
It's no wonder that the silver-blood merchants reacted violently.
What is the concept of 80% liquid assets?
These are just small chambers of commerce that have just joined the Silver Blood Association, but those ranked above 60 are at least old chambers of commerce that have been operating in Xuanzhu County for more than 30 years.
Because the banking system is not perfect and transportation is inconvenient, the chambers of commerce really don’t have much room to spend money. Buying land and factories is an early strategy. Later, there will be no place for you to buy, and buying land in other areas is not easy.
Too willing - there are business associations that buy properties in Tianji District, such as poets, and then they lose money and sell their properties.
It is too dangerous to buy land and build factories in outer areas during peacetime. Local clan forces, officials, rogue warriors, anyone can make a fool of silver-blood merchants. In many places, the status of merchants is very low.
The Silver Blood Association was really just a solidarity and friendly organization for businessmen to work together in the beginning.
On the contrary, in a chaotic world, where the military is the dominant force and local powerful people are conservative and dare not cause trouble, the silver-blood businessmen can buy property with peace of mind as long as they bribe the military. This is equivalent to buying the bottom when the stock market is green and waiting for the market to rise.
As long as they can keep their family property and survive the troubled times, it will be considered as "successfully leaving the circle" and a new map will be opened.
Many large chambers of commerce in the Silver Blood Association made their fortunes during the "little troubled times" two hundred years ago.
Back to business.
Currently, the liquid assets of silver-blood merchants account for at least half of their total assets.
Liquid assets not only refer to their liquidity, but also mortgageable jewelry, jewelry, gold and silver, antiques, and even food.
In addition, in the past two years, silver-blood merchants have felt that the currency of Huiyao will depreciate, and even took the opportunity to sell off their properties to buy gold and silver, preparing to wait for troubled times, trade routes to be cut off, and factories to close down, then spend a little money to buy them back, or simply run away with the money.
.
In addition, business transactions are now settled in cash, and no one dares to take credit - God knows if you will be hacked to death by the backlight organization tomorrow, paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand.
Therefore, if the Silver Blood Eighty-Eight Chamber of Commerce takes away 80% of its working capital, the subsequent chain reaction will be enough to push back the Xuanzhu County economy by thirty years.
If there are historical records in later generations, it can even be described as "killing the bud of capitalism".
Even if he was ready to let it go, the silver-blood merchant still couldn't accept it.
"Can not accept!"
"It's not a rongzi, it's not a rongzi!"
"Lan Yan has gone too far, let's fight him to the death!"
To be able to make a group of profit-seeking businessmen share the same hatred, it shows that this request is really too much.
The selfishness of the eighty-seven businessmen is enough to subvert the public spirit of the spiritual sea!
This kind of organization that wants to raid our home should be destroyed!
If an organization requires me to sacrifice for it, this organization has no value in existence!
But Le Yu didn't give them any face: "Really? Then I'll notify Lin Haijun outside to leave. This way we can save a fortune in military support..."
Everyone stopped talking immediately.
"President, don't worry." Qin Le said with a sinister smile: "There may not be room for discussion on this matter, and even if we come up with the result of the discussion, we still need to stabilize Lin Haijun outside and delay it for a while..."
"The head of the Hongle family is right."
"President, be careful, be careful!"
"Maybe we can find a better solution."
Le Yu borrowed the money from Po Xia Donkey: "Then please tell me how you can raise this huge military expenditure?"
The profiteers of the Silver Blood Association put forward suggestions one after another:
Some people say that it is better to issue an IOU.
Some people say it is better to pay in installments.
Some people say that it is better to let the president persuade Lan Yan. Lan Yan values the president so much and may give him face. However, the president should be more proactive and endure the humiliation to let Lan Yan know the enthusiasm of the Dongyang boy...
At that time, Yu wanted to turn over the table and beat the proposer to death, but fortunately the person next to him held him back, and the proposer paid him a red gold bracelet as compensation for mental damage, so Le Yu let him go with a curse.
After listening to the music, these suggestions have three characteristics:
①I don’t want to give money.
②I don’t want to give so much money.
③I don’t want to give so much money now.
Leyu raised his hand slightly and pressed it, and the mental sea suddenly felt like ice cracking, coldness overflowed, and all the members suddenly became quiet.
"You seem to have made a mistake." He said: "Lan Yan is not discussing with us, but ordering us."
"Don't he know that this request is too much? He knows."
"But he also knows that our Silver Blood Association will definitely be able to get this money."
After all, this is the limit of the liquid assets of all members of the Silver Blood Association that I sent Jing Shou to calculate, Le Yu thought to himself.
Yes.
Lan Yan never asked for a specific amount.
He is the director of the Statistics Department, a high-ranking admiral in the navy, and he knows nothing about profiteers.
This huge amount of money was a figure accurately calculated by Le Yu. It would not be so large that Silver Blood would not be able to bear it, but it would be just enough to make everyone bankrupt.
"If you think you can satisfy Lan Yan by paying less than this amount, then I think you might as well not do it at all."
"Satisfaction is not absolute, but absolute dissatisfaction."
Le Yu smiled and said: "You have to remember that our money is not only to buy the present, but also to buy the future. Yes, our silver blood will be the wallet of the military and government, but even if they want to squeeze us, they still need us
Only if you have money."
"As long as we pay this 'protection fee' and Lan Yan gets a taste of the benefits, it means that the door to Morrowind District will be open for us."
"Everyone, you must remember that Lan Yan and Lin Haijun have an excellent reputation in the Morrowind area. What does this mean? This means that their military cannot personally squeeze military expenditures because they want to lose face."
"So they need a wallet that can help them earn military expenses, and in the whole world, who else is more suitable than our Silver Blood Association?"
"Everyone, do you know what a cost-effective investment is in this world?"
"A slave?"
"Is it a factory?"
"Is it a romantic place?"
Le Yu glanced at Qin Leyin: "He is the future emperor and the future court."
Everyone became serious.
Someone asked: "President, do you think Lan Yan..."
"Of course I don't have the ability to tell who will be the future master of the glorious land." Le Yu shook his head: "But with Lan Yan's ability, he can protect Chenfeng Dongyang for at least ten years."
Everyone was moved.
Ten years may not sound like much, but the future is not a period of peace, but a dark era in which the holy sword shines in the sky and the earth shines and fights with each other.
Ten years is enough time for the Silver Blood Society to completely annex the Morrowind area and become an indispensable money bag for the local military and government.
As for ten years later, even if Lan Yan is defeated, they can turn around and join the new master.
The era of businessmen will never end.
Of course, the silver-blood merchant did not completely believe in the president's judgment.
But what they want is not a guarantee, but a reason.
A reason that makes it less painful for them to spend money.
Investing in the future is reason enough.
Just like if you apply for a fitness card, the purpose is to find a place to run and compete, which sounds unhappy. But in other words, it is to invest in health and improve the success rate of finding the opposite sex, then you may not be so resistant.
"But we still can't accept it." Quan Xin and others shook their heads, their minds filled with thoughts of rejection.
The silver-blood merchant also wanted to agree.
But Lan Yan really wants too much money.
This is no longer about cutting their flesh, this is about extracting their oil.
Although life is also very important, with so much money, they still feel like they don't care about it.
Le Yu couldn't help but look at them.
The spiritual realm of this group of capitalists is quite high.
Capital has completely alienated them to the supreme state of "a greedy husband sacrifices money, a martyr sacrifices his name, each regards the other as a greedy husband and himself as a martyr".
Le Yu suddenly said: "I also have a less mature plan, which may allow us to pay less."
The heroic atmosphere in the meeting hall suddenly disappeared.
"President, please speak!" everyone said anxiously.
"In the final analysis, Lan Yan is actually doing it for military expenses. It's just that they can't stay in Dongyang District for a long time, so they want to suck our blood all at once, because he may not come a second time."
Le Yu talked eloquently: "How could he not know the principle of fishing in the best way possible? But in this world, he can't trust us, and we can't trust him either."
"Then why don't we each take a step back and give both sides a chance?"
Everyone was a little confused: "What does the president mean...?"
"For example," Le Yu said earnestly: "We can give the real estate to Lan Yan."
"factory."
"Shop."
"Restaurant."
"We can give Lin Hai anything he can't take away."
"Lan Yan wants to catch all the fish, so we will give him the opportunity to fish together."
"We also let him enjoy the wonderful feeling of having money rolling in without doing anything."
"Why do we have to fight against Lan Yan? Isn't it also an option for us to bring Lan Yan into the silver blood?"
"But, but," Le Yu clasped his hands together, and his voice was like an enchanting voice: "Lan Yan definitely can't trust us. After all, he is a general, how can he be our opponent in business."
"He is very self-aware, so he only needs liquid assets for war reparations and has no interest in making money with us."
"It just so happens that there are five hundred Linhaimen outside the city. They can not only be the couch blades to monitor us, but also become the bridge of friendship between us and Lan Yan."
"In order to show the sincerity of our Silver Blood Association, I can order these five hundred Lin Haijun to enter the city and let them take over the real estate owned by you on your behalf. And each of your families must evacuate their important family members. You must not let these sergeants feel that they are
Will be deceived by 'profiteers'."
"Don't worry, don't worry, listen to me first. Although each of your families wants to evacuate important family members, as the president designated by Lan Yan and the commander of the Five Hundred Marines, I can naturally send my people
Follow them and ensure that no industries will suffer any losses during their takeover."
"The focus of my plan is mutual trust and sincerity."
"We want Lan Yan to know that even if he is far away in Morrowind, he can still enjoy the endless benefits of the Silver Blood Society. This will not only eliminate the current crisis, but also allow Lin Haijun to protect us - do you still want to count on He Yang?
Are you a bunch of trash like the military?"
"For this reason, each of your families must temporarily sell off their property, so that the sergeants can witness with their own eyes how big the 'gold' of our Silver Blood Association is, and how fat the 'fish' is, and let Lan Yan feel the sincerity of the Silver Blood Association."
!”
"You don't need to worry. This will only take a month or two at most. After Lan Yan trusts us, the various industries will naturally return to the hands of each company. At that time, we will do accounting fraud again. Lan Yan will know how to do it.
, don’t you have to drink our foot-washing water?”
"But if Lan Yan accepts our proposal, I am confident that the amount of war compensation will be reduced to half, or even two-fifths!"
"Everyone who has doubts should also think about it. Our Jing family also has many properties in Xuanzhu County."
Le Yu patted his chest: "Even if I can trick you, will I still trick the Jing family?"
"Do you think this plan is good or not?"
Qin Leyin, who was standing aside, watched the music and words performed with great emotion.
He suddenly remembered a short story he had read in Youth Daily.
It was written by an author named Brother Xun.
In the story, a man wanted to open a window in his house, but he was afraid that everyone would not agree, so he proposed to open a skylight, which aroused fierce opposition from everyone.
At this time, he said, "How about opening a window?" Everyone thought about it and realized that this suggestion was much better than opening a skylight, so they agreed one after another.
Jing Zhengwei suggested from the beginning that copying silver blood would result in 80% of one's net worth.
Naturally, everyone would rather be heroic and benevolent than give money.
He said at this time, it would be better if everyone handed over the property to Lin Haijun and handed it over to the Jing family for a while, so that the compensation could be cut in half and a powerful aid could be attracted.
The silver-blooded businessman couldn't help but feel excited.
