When Fang Jinshi arrived this time, he no longer had to go to the counter in the hall like ordinary merchants. Instead, a waiter politely invited him to the second floor where he came last time. This second floor is actually separated by several private rooms. , Fang Jinshi heard someone talking, looked around, and saw Ji Changan drinking tea and chatting with an official in a private room.
Although he only glanced over, Ji Changan happened to see him. He stood up and said to Fang Jinshi, "Young Master Fang is here just in time. Please come in and talk."
Fang Jinshi walked in. Ji Changan introduced him to the official: "This is another young master of Sihai Shang, young master Fang Jinshi." Fang Jinshi looked up and saw that the official was twenty years old and thin. , with a somewhat sinister look on his face, Fang Jin and Shi Yili cupped their hands in front of him and said, "I'm sorry."
Ji Changan then introduced the official to Fang Jinshi: "This is the chief secretary of the Hudou Case Wang Diaoer Wang of Pingjiang Fucheng."
After all, Fang Jinshi had spent a few days in the Kaifeng government office, and knew that the Hudou case was directly under the jurisdiction of the deputy envoy of the household department in the third division, an official who was mainly responsible for grain storage, etc. This man's name was interesting, and he didn't know how his parents gave him the money. He started it.
Wang Diaoer saluted Fang Jinshi and said, "Young Master Shaodong came at the right time, so it will be much easier."
Fang Jinshi didn¡¯t know what they were discussing, so he looked at Ji Changan with questioning eyes. Ji Changan hurriedly said: "Master Wang wants to temporarily borrow some money from Sihai Bank."
Fang Jinshi asked: "How much do you want to borrow?"
Ji Changan said: "Seven thousand strings, borrowed for one year."
Wang Diaoer hurriedly interjected: "Fang Shaodong, please relax. After one year, you will definitely repay the principal with interest."
Fang Jinshi glanced at Ji Changan, trying to get some hints from him, but Ji Changan was waiting for him to speak expressionlessly. Fang Jinshi didn't know what the twists and turns were, but according to common sense, just with this person It is really hard to believe that Lord Wang¡¯s salary is so much as 7,000 yuan.
Fang Jinshi saw that Ji Changan was silent, so he turned to Wang Diao'er and said, "I don't know what the urgent use of these seven thousand strings is the king's book?"
Wang Diao'er said: "It's not that Wang is using it, but a friend is transporting a batch of rice from Jiaozhi to the north. He will pass by Pingjiang Fucheng soon. Wang wants to keep this batch of rice."
Fang Jinshi smiled and said: "I think the rice coming from Jiaozhi is cheap, and Mr. Wang wants to make a fortune by buying and selling it."
Wang Diaoer said: "This batch of Champa rice is not expensive, but the most important Champa rice is easier to grow and survive, and the yield is 30% more than local rice. It is a pity that this batch of rice will be eaten as food when it is shipped to the north." , if we grow grain, we will definitely have abundant production in the coming year. You can only make a profit and not lose money. Why not do it if it is beneficial to both parties?"
Fang Jinshi looked back at Ji Changan, and Ji Changan said: "I'm afraid this matter still needs Mr. Meng Da's nod. The king is in the official position, so please understand the difficulties of the trumpet."
Although Wang Diao'er is an official, in the eyes of Sihai Trading Company, whose backers are Cai Consort and Prince Yun's Mansion, Wang Diao'er also understands, so he can only sigh and say: "Then I also understand, Wang Diao'er It was just a connection, so I just thought I didn¡¯t say anything."
After he finished speaking and was about to walk away, Fang Jinshi said: "It's just seven thousand strings" Wang Diao'er suddenly heard what he said and turned around to look at him, but Fang Jinshi said again: "Where are the goods belonging to Mr. Wang's friend?" When it arrives, I will find someone to take a look at it."
Wang Diaoer's face lit up with joy and he said hurriedly: "The fleet will arrive at Pingjiang Mansion in the next two days."
Fang Jinshi said: "Then if I can see Mr. Meng Da in these two days, I will mention it to him. The king will go back for the time being. How about we discuss it when the ship arrives?"
Wang Diaoer quickly agreed and stood up to leave. Ji Changan said slowly: "Young Master Fang is one of the young masters of Sihai Company. Logically speaking, with only 7,000 coins, there is no need to ask Mr. Meng Da about everything."
After hearing what he said, Fang Jinshi looked back at Ji Changan. He just nodded slightly. Fang Jinshi asked again, "Really?"
Ji Changan said calmly: "As long as Young Master Fang is willing to nod his head, if he loses money due to natural disasters or something in the coming year, he can explain it to the capital, so there's nothing wrong with it!"
After hearing what he said, Fang Jinshi couldn't help but take a serious look at him. Then he turned back to Wang Diao'er and said, "Master Wang, please go back temporarily. As soon as the ship carrying grain arrives, I will naturally send someone to check and follow up. If there are no problems, I will definitely The Champa rice will be left."
Wang Diaoer was overjoyed and said a few more polite words before leaving. Fang Jinshi saw that he was far away, so he turned back to Ji Changan and said, "I really want to thank Shopkeeper Ji for his trust."
Ji Changan said calmly: "No, no, no, Young Master Fang wants to thank Third Brother Zhao for his trust. If Young Master Fang were not in his position, Ji would not dare to say such words. "
Fang Jinshi's impression of him changed greatly. Before, he thought that Ji Changan and Mr. Meng Da were trying to make things difficult for him, but he didn't expect Ji Changan to support him like this. Fang Jinshi said, "No matter what, I have to thank Ji Changan." The shopkeeper¡¯s reminder, Mr. Meng Da doesn¡¯t know when he will be back, so I would like to ask shopkeeper Ji to pay more attention to it for me.¡±
Ji Changan said: "Mr. Meng Da has been busy all day long. The dragon has not seen the head and tail. I don't know why young master Fang is so anxious to see him."
Fang Jinshi said: "It is also polite to visit Mr. Meng Da earlier, and I also want him to transfer some capital to me."
Ji Chang'an said: "When you see him now, you have lowered your status by nine points. No matter how big the Prince Consort's Palace is, it's just Cai, and Prince Yun's Palace is Zhao!" The weight of his words was quite heavy, and Fang Jinshi felt it in his heart. Xueliang, this was not only a dispute between him and Mr. Meng Da, but also a power struggle between Cai's Prince Consort's Mansion and Zhao Kai's Prince Yun's Mansion. The situation suddenly escalated. Fang Jinshi thought about it and didn't know how to reply to his words.
Ji Changan continued: "Whatever business Young Master Fang wants to do, just go ahead and do it. Brother Zhao San had an order before coming here. Come to Jiangnan. Young Master Fang is the biggest here. There is nothing else in Sihai Company. It's just that it's very wealthy. This More than half of the money of Sihai Company goes through Sihai Bank."
Fang Jinshi was excited after hearing what he said. He raised his voice and said, "I want some capital, don't I need Mr. Meng Da to nod?"
Ji Changan said: "It depends on how much Young Master Fang needs."
Fang Jinshi said: "One hundred thousand guans, can one hundred thousand guan suffice?"
Ji Changan said: "It will be OK in three days." Fang Jinshi was so excited that he couldn't help but ask: "What if we lose money?"
Ji Changan smiled and said: "Then you and Brother Zhao should write a letter to explain. It's just that if Sihai Company can't even afford a loss of 100,000 yuan, how dare it be called Sihai."
