The best eunuch

A successful businessman must have the ability to maximize his own interests anytime and anywhere.

Mo Mingtang was really shocked when he first heard Liang Xin reveal his identity. After all, Liang Xin is too famous.But soon Mo Mingtang calmed down, and said to Liang Xin as calmly as possible: "It turns out that Lord Liang is here, so I'm really disrespectful and disrespectful."

While talking, Mo Mingtang bowed his hands to Liang Xin.Liang Xin nodded.Mo Mingtang straightened his body and continued: "Master Hou may not know Mo Mou very well. Mo Mou is born with a strange temper, and sometimes he likes to ignore everything when he gets angry. Just now Master Hou bluntly said that he was doing it for my Huitong Bank. Come on, and tell me that there is a large funding gap in Huitong Bank, which is now at stake.

It is true that what Lord Hou said is true, I cannot hide it from Lord Hou.But it is impossible for Mo Mou to buy Huitong Bank for this reason, right?It’s just paying off the debt. If I don’t pay for a day or two, my children and grandchildren can also pay it for me.One day the debt can be paid off, as long as Huitong Bank is still there. "

Liang Xin shook his head with a smile and said: "It seems that you have been running the bank for so many years and still haven't understood what the bank relies on."

"Basically depend on?" Mo Mingtang was puzzled.

Liang Xindao: "Running a bank actually depends on the word reputation. Why are people willing to deposit vain silver in your bank and exchange it for a piece of paper? Its fundamental willingness is because of trust. If one day you can't take out the silver It has been exchanged by others, do you think it is possible for Huitong Bank to continue to operate?"

"I like your Huitong bank because he already has something in my heart. If you are not willing to sell it to me, with my manpower, material and financial resources, I can destroy Huitong and build a new Huitong, or call it So does HSBC.

I know you merchants like to be up for grabs, you don't have to deal with me.Originally, I wanted to punish you properly. After all, you participated in smuggling and selling salt, but just now I heard you said that you would never do business with Jurchens or Khitans. I think you are a bit virtuous.How about this, Huitong bank is going to be settled. After I take over, all the branches of Huitong will be changed to branches of Royal Bank. You can help me build Royal Bank in the future. "

"Royal Bank?" Mo Mingtang was taken aback, this word is definitely new to him.

Seeing that Mo Mingtang was interested, Liang Xin smiled and said, "Could it be that Master Mo is going to let the three of us stand and talk to you like this?"

"Oh." Mo Mingtang patted himself on the forehead and said, "I've been negligent, I've been negligent, please, please."

Mo Mingtang brought Liang Xin, Liang Rui, and Yin Jianglin into the main hall. The three had just sat down. Mo Mingtang whispered a few words to the maid, who nodded and left, and Mo Mingtang walked over sit down.

Liang Xin first introduced Liang Rui and Yin Jianglin to Mo Mingtang. Just after the introduction, the maid brought in four beautiful porcelain cups.Liang Xin took the cup and smelled it, and his eyes lit up: "This...is this coffee?"

Mo Mingtang said happily: "Master Hou is so well-informed that he recognized this thing at a glance. We don't have this thing in the Song Dynasty. My friend brought it back from outside when he was sailing. This thing It tastes a bit bitter, astringent, and sour, but it is very refreshing, and there is a fragrance after drinking too much, so I like it very much."

Liang Xin smiled and said, "Master Mo, that's not how you drink coffee. Ask someone to fetch some sugar and milk, and I'll teach you how to drink it."

"Okay." Mo Mingtang immediately ordered the maid to fetch it.

After a while, the servant girl came over with a bowl of milk and sugar.Liang Xin poured milk into the coffee first, and then added sugar.After stirring evenly, Liang Xin handed the coffee to Mo Mingtang: "Master Mo, try again."

Mo Mingtang took the coffee with both hands, nodded and said, "Master Hou." He took a sip carefully, and then his eyes lit up: "This...how could this be? It's smooth and smooth, sweet and mellow. This is the real coffee. Does coffee really taste like?"

While making coffee for himself, Liang Rui, and Yin Jianglin, Liang Xin said, "You have to drink coffee with milk and sugar, otherwise drinking too much black coffee will hurt your stomach." Liang Xin picked up the coffee and took a sip , felt that the taste was a bit weird, so he took another sip.The taste was still a bit weird, Liang Xin sniffed the coffee and said, "What kind of milk is this? Why does it taste weird?"

Mo Mingtang picked up the coffee and smelled it: "No way. The nurse in my house definitely has enough milk and water, and the quality is high..."

"Pfft!" Before Mo Mingtang could say anything, Liang Xin had already spit out the coffee in one gulp.Feelings are people. Milk.

Mo Mingtang was slightly taken aback: "Master Hou, this is..."

Liang Xin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I haven't drank coffee for a long time and suddenly I'm not used to it, please ask someone to bring me another cup of tea."

"Okay." Mo Mingtang signaled to the maid, who immediately went down to prepare tea for Liang Xin.Liang Xin turned his head to see Yin Jianglin and Liang Rui enjoying their coffee, and couldn't help but feel a little chilly.

After tidying up a bit, Liang Xin said: "Master Mo, let's get back to the topic first. First, let me tell you about the Royal Bank."

Mo Mingtang nodded, and Liang Xin said: "The Royal Bank was established by the emperor himself. It is similar to a bank, but its functions are more comprehensive than that of a bank..."

Immediately afterwards, Liang Xin introduced the specific business scope of the bank to Mo Mingtang one by one. Mo Mingtang listened carefully and at the same time raised some questions of his own.Liang Xin gave answers one by one, and finally Mo Mingtang clapped his hands excitedly and said: "So this is the real bank. I finally understand why my Huitong bank failed when I opened it so big. Good! I can participate in such a business It is my honor, Mr. Hou, I, Mo, promise you to officially hand over the Huitong Bank to you. I will send someone to notify my partners in a while, and then transfer the share of the bank to you."

"Yes." Liang Xin nodded and said, "I will give them a good price, and you can reassure them."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, I'll send someone to notify my partners immediately."

According to Mo Mingtang's introduction, he and his younger brother still account for 21% of the bank's development.Then the remaining [-]% were distributed to [-] partners one by one.Mo Mingtang also said that some of those partners have fought side by side with him to this day, and they are absolutely loyal and reliable.However, some people were recruited later for the development of the bank, which may not be very easy to control.

Liang Xin waited in Mo Mingtang's small courtyard for several hours, and the two chatted happily. Mo Mingtang couldn't help but be a little impressed by Liang Xin's wide knowledge.It wasn't until dusk that the housekeeper came back and told Mo Mingtang that everyone was already there, and they were all waiting at Yanyu Villa.Then Mo Mingtang brought the three brothers Liang Xin to Yanyu Villa.

After entering Yanyu Villa in a carriage, Mo Mingtang called all the partners into the conference hall, and after briefly introducing Liang Xin's identity, all 22 partners showed surprise.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Mingtang said: "I called everyone to Misty Rain Villa once again, in fact, I want to confess something to everyone. The bank... really lost a lot of money. Now the bank is still operating normally. In fact, it is because Lord Liang Hou has deposited more than 3000 million taels of silver in our bank. If Lord Hou withdraws all the silver, the bank may have to face closure immediately. At the same time, you will also bear a huge debt. "

"The burden is the burden. Thanks to you, the big boss, for letting me join the Huitong Bank these years, I, Chen Tian, ​​have lived a comfortable life for more than ten or twenty years. Every day, a big fish and meat, a beautiful wife and a beautiful family are also what I deserve in this life." The blessings are almost enough. Don't think too much about it, Da Dong, I, Chen Tian, ​​don't blame you."

"I, Wang Chao, don't blame you." "I don't blame Dadong, Yu Datou."

The dozen or so partners who came out with Mo Mingtang expressed that they would not blame Mo Mingtang, but the rest of them and their partners all frowned.First, Tao Tiandong asked, "Mingtang. Is the gap really too big to be filled? What do you mean by bringing Lord Liang to Yanyu Villa today and then calling us here?"

Mo Mingtang sighed and said, "There is a gap of more than 300 million taels, and there is no way to fill it in. Today I called Lord Liang to come because Lord Liang intends to buy our Huitong Bank."

"Acquisition?" Zheng Zhibai exclaimed.He said angrily: "Mo Mingtang, this Huitong Bank is not owned by you alone. Why do you buy it when you say it will be bought by others? I now suspect that you and this so-called Lord Hou are in collusion. The purpose is to kick us out so that you can monopolize Huitong Bank. Earlier in the morning, you said that there was nothing wrong with the bank, and now you are saying that there is a huge funding gap in the bank that cannot be remedied. How do I know which sentence you say? Which is true and which is false?"

"Zheng Zhibai!" Mo Mingtang snarled and said, "Don't talk nonsense there, how much share do you have in the bank? If you don't sell it, we will divide the bank, just your point At most, the shares can be distributed to dozens of shops for you."

"Dozens of shops?" Zheng Zhibai snorted coldly and said, "I've expected Mo Mingtang to make such a move, to tell you the truth. Except for a few of the partners here, the rest are in the bank. I have already bought the share of the bank. Now I alone own [-]% of the bank."

"What?" Mo Mingtang was slightly startled, and glanced at everyone.A large group of people immediately lowered their heads, embarrassed to look at Mo Mingtang.

Mo Mingtang suppressed his inner anger, looked at Zheng Zhibai coldly and said, "So what about [-]%? My group of brothers and I accounted for [-]% in total, so the bank still doesn't need to listen to you."

"Sixty percent?" Zheng Zhibai smiled and said, "I believe the ten mud legs who accompanied you all the way are listening to you, but you may have forgotten to ask your brother. See if he listens to you too. , your younger brother Mo Yun has a [-]% share."

"Mo Yun!" Mo Mingtang looked at Mo Yun, and Mo Yun shrank his neck subconsciously, not daring to meet Mo Mingtang's eyes that were about to burst into flames.
