The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 474
[Chapter 474 IOU]
When Wang Baole saw this, he snorted coldly, his expression softened a little, and he said: “I can completely understand your feelings.
I have indeed said that as long as you want to cash in the banknotes, you can do so at any time. Cash it.
But
the current situation, as you all have seen, in the entire capital, our Baolefang is the last one to stop cashing banknotes, although”
before he finished speaking, the merchants became angry again.
“What do you mean by that!? Could it be that it’s our fault that you stopped cashing banknotes?”
“That’s right! As a businessman, you can’t keep your word and yet you’re not ashamed of it. Bah!”
“”
Wang Baole listened. Despite the insults from everyone, he did not refute.
He knew it in his heart.
No matter what the reason is for Baolefang to stop cashing banknotes, he bears certain responsibility for this matter, which cannot be shied away from.
He could indeed understand how angry these merchants were.
After all, he is also a businessman himself. After working hard for most of his life, it is unacceptable that he will lose such a small amount of savings, even if it is only temporarily gone.
Everyone pointed at Wang Baole and cursed for a while.
Perhaps because he was tired, or because he didn’t respond, he gradually became quiet again.
At this time, Wang Baole continued: “You have scolded me, can you listen to me now?”
He looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him angrily, but no one spoke again.
So, he coughed twice and said: “Ahem
, actually, this matter really cannot be blamed on our Baolefang. Everyone knows that although I, Wang Baole, am the shopkeeper of Baolefang, in fact, as early as March 3, Four months ago, the owner of Baolefang changed.”
When everyone heard this, they were slightly startled and started to look at each other.
They all understood what Wang Baole meant by this sentence.
The shadow of Fang Mansion can be seen behind the several shops opened by Baolefang recently and some of the businesses funded by it.
The owner of Baolefang has changed, which is completely reasonable.
But
what does this have to do with them?
No matter who the owner of Baolefang is, he cannot embezzle their money!
Maybe Xin Amber
, maybe, should not be so arrogant and domineering, right?
After all, Baolefang is a bank, and the signatures and paintings were pawned by the imperial household department.
Wang Baole watched everyone’s expressions change, cleared his throat, and continued: “According to common sense, the money in Baole Square is enough for you to cash your banknotes.
However, just half a month ago, Xin Anbo… I borrowed three hundred thousand taels of silver from my Baolefang.
As you all know, Xin Anbo
paused for a moment, but did not continue.
After hearing this, everyone had a look of surprise on their faces.
No one in the entire capital knows what kind of person Xin Anbo is.
Not to mention that the Fang Mansion is behind Baolefang. Even other banks that have nothing to do with the Fang Mansion would not dare to violate it in the slightest if they knew that Xin Anbo wanted to borrow money!
“Hey, so if you want to cash in your money, you can only wait a little longer. In one month, at most, Baolefang will be able to raise your money. When the time comes, you can cash in.
Baolefang If you are short of even one tael of silver, you can destroy this Baolefang!”
After Wang Baole said this, he stopped and looked at the people in front of him with a look of despair on his face.
When everyone saw this scene, they all fell silent.
They knew in their hearts that what Wang Baole said was most likely true!
After all, what is the relationship between Baolefang and Fangfu.
Not to mention three hundred thousand taels, even five hundred thousand taels. If Xin Anbo asked, he would have to borrow it.
However, they don’t understand, what does Xin Amber need so much money?
Of course, this question is only secondary. There is only one question that matters most to them, and that is who should they ask for the money?
“What do you mean, all our money is with Xin Anbo?”
At this time, someone finally came back to his senses, looked at Wang Baole, and said.
Wang Baole looked at the person who spoke and nodded.
Then, as if he wanted something, he shook his head and said, “I didn’t say that.”
When everyone saw this scene, they finally understood.
All their money was placed in Fang Mansion!
But, how do I get the money back? ?
“Our money is in your Baolefang. No matter what happens, your Baolefang must take responsibility and don’t involve Xin Amber!”
Another person said.
Wang Baole listened, with a look of death on his face, and replied: “That’s right, your money is indeed in our Baolefang, but the money of our Baolefang is in Xin’anbo.
You want the money, but you don’t have it.” The question is, after one month, you can have as much money as you want, as long as you have a banknote.
However, we have no money now. Even if you smash Baolefang and throw me into the lake, I won’t be able to get this money. Money!
You are all decent people. I, Wang Baole, used to be a decent person,
but now I am no longer respectable. There are so many of you, all of you have to cash in your banknotes at once, which is the total money of the entire capital. We may not be able to get it together.
We at Baolefang have done our best. Look at the other banks. Which one didn’t put up the sign and run away early?
At this time, we are the only one who is still here. I don’t want to lie to you. , after this incident, our Baolefang business will continue. We will not run away.
However, if you want money, we can’t get it in a short time. If you want money, well, go find Xin’an. Uncle!”
When he said this, he looked back at his brother Wang Fugui and said, “Go and get the IOU left by Xin Anbo!”
Wang Fugui was slightly startled.
When the young master takes money from Baolefang, it is always a matter of just one sentence. Where is the IOU?
But when he saw the look in his brother’s eyes, he understood something instantly. He nodded hurriedly and said, “Okay, I’ll go right away!”
After that, he turned and walked towards the backyard.
After a while, he came over with a piece of yellowed paper.
“Brother, the IOU left by Xin Amber.”
“Yes.”
Wang Baole nodded, reached out to take the IOU, and showed it in front of everyone.
Then, looking at everyone, he said: “Xin Anbo’s IOU of 300,000 taels is here. You can take it if you want. As long as you can get this money back, Baolefang will cash the silver note for you now!
Which of you wants this IOU?”
