Pawn Crossing the River

The Chiming Palace has two doors, the front and the back. The front door is the main entrance. Representatives of many local tyrants climbed the long steps and entered the Chiming Palace one by one. Qi Xuansu entered from the back door and was the last to arrive.

In order to avoid getting lost, the Taoist sect specially sent a Taoist boy to lead the way. When they say Taoist boy, they are not children like Xiao Yin, but Taoist priests in preparation. Take the Wanxiang Taoist Palace as an example. There are two major exams. After the first major exam, you will be a Taoist boy, and after the second major exam, you will be granted the status of a ninth-grade Taoist priest.

Not just anyone can come to the Chiming Palace. At least you have to be a big businessman of Qi Muyu's level.

Qi Niang did not come. As Li Qingnu said, Qi Niang's status is not bad. She is an old friend of the Grand Master, the Grand Master's wife, and Qingwei Zhenren. She could have retired behind the scenes long ago, but Qi Niang likes to make money and does not want to retire. Others can't do anything about it. It's just that Qi Niang did not participate in such public and formal occasions. She did not show up at Qi Xuansu's wedding, so she would not make an exception for such a small occasion.

However, Qi Niang did not come, so Shangguan Ya participated as Qi Niang's personal representative.

In addition, there were Li Qingnu, the representative of Li Ruoshui, Chen Shuwen, the representative of Nanyang United Trade Company, Xiu Nanxuan, the representative of Babuzhong, Pei Xiaoyun, the representative of Fenglinzhou Trade Company, Huanji, the representative of Qibaofang, Su Qinghua, the representative of Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Xingzhang, the representative of Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, Liu Gui, the representative of "Heavenly Court", Zhang Wuyue, the representative of Tawanting, and people from Fenglinzhou, Luosuozhou, Posuozhou, Dijing, Liaodong, and inland states, etc.

A group of well-known people have basically arrived. Even if they don't want to participate, they have to consider the face of the headmaster and the junior headmaster and make a scene.

These people must have their backers behind them. They are all high-level Taoists. Some people can be guessed by looking at their surnames, such as Pei Xiaoyun. Many of them are Qi Xuansu's people. Chen Shuwen's backer is Qi Xuansu. As Qi Xuansu's status rises, his position becomes more and more stable and solid.

If someone wants to mess up this matter, they only need to give a warning and not let the people below attend. Then the place will be deserted and half of it will be ruined. But now it seems that no one dares to offend the Grand Master. In fact, the high-level Taoists also look at the wind direction. If Qingwei Zhenren does not step forward, who dares to step forward rashly? The law does not punish the masses. If everyone stands shoulder to shoulder, it may make the Grand Master embarrassed. But if you step forward, the first one to step forward will be rotten first, and you will be killed as a warning to the monkeys.

When Qi Xuansu entered the Chiming Palace, most people had already arrived, and warm applause suddenly broke out, welcoming the respected young master.

Qi Xuansu waved his hand and greeted him, and he was in great glory.

On such an occasion, the Grand Master would definitely not attend, and Yun Qingping and Yao Yi would not attend either. However, people from the Shibo Hall, Duzhi Hall, and Taiping Money House would still come, at least as second seats, including Li Zhuyu from the Western Region Daofu. They sat down in turn, leaving only the main seat in the middle, which was reserved for Qi Xuansu.

The applause gradually died down, and Qi Xuansu sat in the main seat, very leisurely and casual: "Welcome everyone to participate in our Xikunlun Bank's public offering ceremony. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you on behalf of all the Xikunlun Bank."

The applause was thunderous again.

Qi Xuansu raised his hand and pressed it, indicating that the applause would pause for a while, and then said: "Official jargon is not something you want to hear, and I don't want to say it either, so let's just not say it. Next, let the chairman of the board of directors of Xikunlun Bank introduce the details of this public offering to everyone."

After the voice fell, a man stood up. He looked about 40 years old, in the prime of his life, and was a seventh-generation disciple.

This man's surname was Yao, and his given name was "Lin". He was the chief of Xikunlun Bank personally appointed by the Grand Master.

Yao Lin was born in the Yao family. Like Yao Shu, he was a cousin of Yao Yi. The Grand Master took down Yao Pei and replaced him with Qi Xuansu. This move greatly offended the Yao family. Even his own sister Pei Shenfu had to turn against him. Naturally, he had to make up for it in other aspects.

After all, the Grand Master had just ascended to the throne and his position was not so stable. He should compromise when necessary.

Moreover, not every Grand Master is a five-generation Grand Master, and there is only one Xuansheng. It is not possible to do whatever you want.

After Yao Lin stood up, he saluted first, and then said: "Since Master Qi said so, I will get straight to the point. We will publicly raise 49% of the shares this time, totaling 20 million Taiping money. One-cent shares are tentatively set at 400,000 Taiping money, and one-cent shares are tentatively set at 40,000 Taiping money. Limited subscription, minimum one cent, maximum two cents."

Two-cent shares are 800,000 Taiping money.

At that time, the entire fortune of Master Gao in the Imperial Capital could not make up half of it, and only real big businessmen could come up with it.

Even if it is a one-cent share, it is still a huge sum of 40,000 Taiping money. Let's not talk about others for the time being, anyway, Qi Xuansu can't come up with it. In terms of economy, Qi Xuansu dare not say how honest he is, anyway, he has never made any mistakes.

He is kind, frugal, and dare not be the first in the world.

In fact, when discussing it for the first time, he also considered whether to pay a deposit, but later decided to forget it. Those who can come to participate in the share issuance this time are all well-known people with big families and big businesses. To put it bluntly, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. It has always been the Taoist sect that owes money, and I have never heard of anyone daring to owe money to the Taoist sect.

As soon as this was said, many guests began to whisper and discuss in a low voice.

Yao Lin glanced at Qi Xuansu again and asked Qi Xuansu for instructions.

If we really want to start with Qi Niang, the two can still call each other brothers, but when working, they call each other by their positions. Qi Xuansu is the most important here, and everything should be based on Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu nodded slightly, and Yao Lin sat down.

Qi Xuansu continued: "I am more of a martial artist. I don't like to go around in circles, and I don't like to complicate simple things. I prefer directness, so I will keep everything simple today. I also hope that the signing can be completed today. If you don't have anything else to do, If you have any questions, you can start.”

The businessmen did not express their opinions immediately, but looked at each other, and then Su Qinghua, representing the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, stood up and said: "We have a few questions that are not clear yet, and I would like to ask you all."

Yao Lin said: "You say."

Su Qinghua is Su Yuanzai's family and is inextricably linked to the Taoist sect. He is very confident and said: "We are only shareholders of West Kunlun Bank this time, but if we want to participate in trade routes, , are they counted together or separately?”

Yao Lin said: "Together, as a shareholder, you will enjoy various tax exemptions, and the specific weight is related to the number of shares. I will not go into details about the specific details. They are all in the booklet I sent to you previously."

Su Qinghua smiled: "Don't be offended, Chief Yao. We have no sincerity and we won't come. Of course we read the brochure and just want to hear Chief Yao's words. Then... I have no problem. "

Yao Lin asked again: "Are there any questions?"

Li Qingnu stood up: "Excuse me, Chief Yao, will the West Kunlun Bank be managed by Shibotang in the future? Or will it be managed by the Western Region Taoist Office? Even if they are jointly managed, there must be a priority. Who is in charge?"

Yao Lin did not answer on his own, but looked back at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu directly gave the decision: "Of course it will be under the management of Shibotang."

Many businessmen who do not belong to the Quanzhen Tao feel relieved.

In the final analysis, Qi Xuansu made the decision because Qi Xuansu was special, not because the real person in charge of the Western Region Taoist Mansion was special. Qi Xuansu would not be the real person in charge of the Western Region Taoist Mansion for the rest of his life. When Qi Xuansu was promoted, he would of course return to normal.

Many businessmen also understand that when Qi Xuansu was in power, of course Qi Xuansu had the final say. There is no doubt about it. The key is who has the final say after Qi Xuansu is gone. This is questionable.

Now that Qi Xuansu has revealed the truth, he has gained some reassurance.

Yao Lin asked again: "Are there any questions?"

No businessman stood up anymore. After all, they were all people with good hands and eyes. Those who should inquire had already inquired clearly. The previous two questions were just to make a clear statement.

Yao Lin said: "Okay, the stock offering has officially begun."
