honor me as god

Chapter 515
There is no profit, no business, businessman is a career without profit, and his sensitivity to numbers is higher than anyone else. For things like lending, lending money to others without interest, this is a businessman. It is undoubtedly a huge loss, because a large amount of working capital has been put on hold for nothing, and they could have used this working capital to invest in the reproduction process to obtain greater profits.

However, this is a pure calculation. Lending to others is a huge loss, but lending to officials is different. No interest is charged for lending money to them. This is a favor. A small favor from an official may be worth thousands of gold in the future. Du Mingwei calculated the account very clearly, and was very willing to borrow money in exchange for favors.

As for the collateral, it belongs to the link of risk control. Small money is nothing more than a small amount of money. If there is a risk, there is a risk. Big money like the present, and it is a large amount of money that requires the whole city's nobles to work together to lend money. Without collateral, it is child's play. possible.

While Ge Mai and Du Mingwei were discussing the collateral, Lin Gengsen took out his peanuts and peeled them all over the floor while eating.

While eating, Lin Gengsen looked boredly at the water surface of the port, watching the cargo ships coming full of century-old wheat and leaving empty after unloading, he couldn't help yawning.

There are many porters unloading goods at the port. Perhaps because the working hours are too long, one porter is a little weak. He accidentally fell while carrying the wheat bag, and the bag broke. The wheat is spilled out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He was so frightened that he shivered all over, and hurriedly put the century-old wheat into the bag with his hands, muttering apologies while doing so.

The coolies in charge of carrying are all branded slaves. They are no different from cattle and horses in the Kingdom of Dogland. Scolded: "God damn it, you can't even do such a simple job. What use are you for?! This is the century-old wheat from Wangcheng. Do you think it's the feed you usually eat?!"

The supervisor frantically beat the slave with a whip, but the slave dared not speak out, since he was born a slave, he was already numb to this, and just knelt on the ground trembling and begging for mercy. Facing the whipping, he dared not even block it For a moment, he let the bloodstains be drawn out on his body, and only hoped that the supervisor would not kill him after venting his anger.

"I spilled the wheat, and my money will be deducted. I will kill you, you bastard! You bastard! You bastard!" The beating was bloody, not only to vent, but also to warn the other slaves.

Lin Gengsen was always idle and bored, but now that a slave is being punished, he enjoys watching it with great interest, even peeling peanuts faster, muttering to himself while eating: "Century-year-old wheat is not cheap, it is so much wheat , all the coins are sprinkled."

Lin Gengsen continued to peel peanuts to eat, but while peeling, the movements of his hands slowed down for some reason, he squinted his eyes unconsciously, and muttered: "It's all moon coins."

"Yuebi." He subconsciously looked at the cargo ships coming and going, and at the century-old wheat unloaded at the port, his eyes became bright.

"Old Mai." Lin Gengsen stuffed the unfinished peanuts back into his pocket, with a mysterious smile on his face, "You are looking forward and backward, hesitating, and only want to borrow money. Didn't you find a lot of moon coins? Right in front of us?"

Hearing the sound, Ge Mai followed Lin Gengsen's gaze, and when he saw those piles of century-old wheat, he seemed to think of the same thing as Lin Gengsen, with deep consternation in his eyes: "You are a relief from Wangcheng. Lian, do you dare to take their idea? Are you crazy?!."

Lin Gengsen said nonchalantly: "You don't care where it is distributed. Think about it, why does the superior distribute the food? Isn't it just for us to complete the task on time? To put it bluntly, these century-old wheat is the bargaining chip for completing the task, as long as the goal can be achieved in the end , how you use it, where you use it, the higher-ups don’t care at all, they only have one thing in their eyes now—the blood essence grass.”

Gomez frowned, and asked in a deep voice: "You mean, we mortgage the century-old wheat to Mr. Du Mingwei and other nobles, and then use the money in exchange to buy blood essence grass from Abao and send it to the business."

Lin Gengsen added: "You don't even need to mortgage it, just resell these century-old wheat directly, so you don't have to borrow and pay back, what a hassle."

Gomez's face was still not very good-looking, and he paced back and forth with his chin resting, as if caught in a fierce ideological struggle.

Lin Gengsen has a straightforward temperament and doesn't have so many worries. He directly followed Gome's pace and continued to persuade: "My lord consul, think about it carefully, this approach is a win-win situation - Wangcheng got the blood essence grass , The two of us handed in the work on time, Mr. Du Mingwei and the nobles made a good deal, and the wheat in Danyu Plain was also saved. This kind of good thing that we work together and no one suffers, why do you hesitate? "

Gomez frowned, and muttered: "Even if you do what you said, how should the first step be carried out? The people have seen the relief food issued by Wangcheng. We sold it to Mr. Du Mingwei and couldn't find a suitable one. reason."

Lin Gengsen said impatiently: "What reason do you want? What right do the people have to talk about our superiors doing things? You can ask Mr. Du Mingwei whether this business will work."

"I am interested in this business, but I have the same concerns as Mr. Gome. It is obviously not advisable for you to openly sell me the relief food." Du Mingwei paused at this point, and added silently, "So, We have to find a reason to make this reasonable."

Lin Gengsen asked: "What are Mr. Du Mingwei's thoughts?"

Du Mingwei narrowed his eyes, and after a long period of contemplation, his voice became deep: "I have an idea, but I don't know if the two adults agree or not."

Ge Mai and Lin Gengsen moved closer to Du Mingwei, and the three of them whispered something that only they could hear.

After hearing this, Ge Mai froze in place, and couldn't help taking a breath: "It's so big?"

Lin Gengsen's eyes were also full of astonishment, and he said in disbelief: "Good guy, Mr. Du Mingwei, I used to hear people say that shopping malls are like battlefields, and those who are timid will surely die. Your courage and guts, I think, are greater than that of Prince Bolton. "

"It's overrated." Du Mingwei looked calm and said in a lukewarm tone, "What do you two agree to? Risks are often accompanied by rewards. One wrong step in this matter may be irreversible. But once it is done, 'that lord' How would you rate me?"

Gomez glanced erratically at the mountain of century-old wheat, was silent for a while, and finally made a gesture of "please" in his heart: "Please follow me back to the house, I will order the servant to prepare the dinner, the three of us carefully Discuss it."
