C78 Head of the Merchants

"All of you are blind, you don't know your place, but you actually dared to fight with me for wealth, and want to use underhanded means to force me out of Tanggu? "You are all delusional, I can tell you the truth, I am very unhappy, I really want to kick you all into the sea …"

Xiao Letian stood at the window on the second floor and scolded the ashen-faced Wu Liang like he was scolding Grandchild. But somehow, the more Xiao Letian scolded, the more relaxed Trader's expression became.

They weren't born with low status, but had accumulated experience in society over the years from doing business. They knew that you could still be saved if you were scolded. If the other party already treated you as a dead person, they wouldn't even say a word to you.

"A small High Scholar plus a local thug like him can actually make the entire Tanggu City's Trader lower his head and take him as Grandchild? Look at how arrogant you were in Oceanic yesterday, as if you could kick me, Xiao, out of Tanggu City in the next moment. You even said that you don't need to use Current silver as your banknotes, and that you wouldn't be in arrears in any way … I'm spitting on your faces for being used like a dog by others, and all of you are putting on airs as though you were not ordinary? "Shameless …"

"Trader, you have to do what Trader should do. You have to be honest, do whatever you want, and properly do your business. You have to get yourself involved in the struggles of others. How about now?" Your house was raided by mob and your warehouse was burnt down by mob. Go and compensate High Scholar Huang for your losses! "Everyone, let's go …"

Xiao Letian's mouth was too damaging. He had almost scolded this group of people, causing Trader to commit suicide. They should also be ashamed. Last night, they went back to their own homes and looked at the empty city gates as well as the burning warehouse. That night, ten people from Trader killed themselves.

"You're all older than me, I don't think I need to teach you what retribution is …" Xiao Letian cursed for a quarter of an hour and then drank a cup of tea to catch his breath, "Although what you did was stupid and wicked, but during the riot yesterday, you guys already learned your lesson. Xiao Letian cursed for a quarter of an hour and then drank a cup of tea to calm down," Although what you guys did was stupid and wicked, but during the riot yesterday, you guys have already learned your lesson.

Upon hearing Xiao Letian's teasing words, Zhou Mingkui, whose face had just eased up to a bit of rosiness, turned pale once again. He quickly bowed his head and cupped his hands, saying humbly, "This official doesn't dare, doesn't dare …"

Trader, who had done harm to Xiao Letian in the past few days, cried bitterly the moment he heard "Lifeless". Each of them bent down 90 degrees and could not even bend his body as long as they could. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao for your magnanimity …"

Xiao Letian twitched his mouth, "But we can avoid this death sentence, living is not easy at all!" Trader, who was present, was stunned when he heard this. However, when they saw the stack of contracts in Xiao Letian's hands, everyone was dumbfounded. A few of them directly collapsed onto the ground.

"Everyone, look. This is the pig's hair contract that you signed for me yesterday. How much money and how much is written in black and white." "Everyone, please deliver the goods to me in the next two days …"

Almost all of Trader knelt down and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's better if you kill us. In yesterday's fire, half of the pig hair in the warehouse was burnt. Even if you kill us, we don't have any goods left …"

"Mr. Xiao, please be merciful for a few days. Although my pig mane hasn't been burnt, but the payment has been taken away by mob. I have already gone bankrupt. Please give me a chance …"

crowd wailed in pain, but no one dared to mention when Xiao Letian smashed his silver coin against mob. They were afraid that they would offend Deicide again if they were careless. However, after people begged for a long time, they realized that Xiao Letian's kindness had already been used up. Now, he looked like he was doing business.

Trader and the others finally collapsed, the two outermost Trader screamed, stood up and ran in the direction of the sea, at this time, Captain and Wu Tie who were on the Western Merchant ships were watching the show, suddenly they realized two figures jumped into the sea together.

The second one was the leader. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Trader jumped into the sea with their eyes closed. They really didn't want to live anymore.

"Save them!" "Hurry up and save them …" When Xiao Letian saw that he went too far, he quickly ordered his men to save them. However, the first one to rescue him was unexpectedly Sailor, a foreigner from the harbor.

Captain Corsica stood at the bow of the boat and shouted in French. The Lucky and the surrounding Merchant ships jumped into the sea like dumplings. It took them a long time to save Trader. Fortunately, none of them died in time.

When the wharf sat down side by side, Xiao Letian also went downstairs. He stood in front of them and pointed at his nose as he scolded, "Trash, stupid, don't you know how to earn money? To think that you guys are both maritime merchants, and can't even play with a plate that's worth more than a million? "

"You say it's easy, but although I have the ability to earn money, the silver s have all been robbed away. We don't have any working capital, so aren't we just waiting to die?" A sea merchant's offer was already big, so even if they wanted to borrow money, it would be very difficult for them to do so! "Sob, sob, sob …" A Trader actually started crying after he said that.

Xiao Letian stood up, looked around at Trader and said earnestly, "You guys don't have money, but I do!" "Isn't it just borrowing? I, Xiao Letian, am not a miser. As long as you ask for more …"

Trader's eyes lit up when he heard this. "How much profit do you want?" Xiao Letian smiled, "If I say no, but you guys don't have the confidence, then just add 10%. With this one year period, I won't play the interest game with you guys …"

Before he finished his sentence, the crowd surrounded Xiao Letian, scaring Xiang Shaolong to the point that he wanted to make a move. mister didn't lie to us? Only one point? "Are you sure you don't want to play the ratchet game?"

Xiao Letian raised his hand and pointed at the sun as he said, "There's the Divine Buddha, ancestor, in the sky. If I say it, I definitely won't lie to you guys …" When everyone heard that Xiao Letian swore on his god Buddha and his ancestors, none of them doubted him anymore.

"I will never forget mister's great kindness for the rest of my life!" After everyone finished talking, they all kneeled down. Xiao Letian pulled cow-keeper up with a bitter smile, "Enough, enough. You guys kowtowed too many times today. I really don't understand why you guys like to kowtow so much …" Then, he reached out his hand to wipe the mud off cow-keeper's body.

At this time, the entire Tanggu's Trader was crushed by Xiao Letian. The mood of the people who went through ups and downs in the past two days, plus death and bankruptcy, these kinds of things that were extremely irritating to the nerves, had completely broken down their psychological defenses.

Today, Xiao Letian had completely accepted the Tanggu's Merchant's heart. In just two short days, Xiao Letian had unified the business circles of Tanggu Port and became the undisputed boss.

"Oh Mr. Xiao, I'm ashamed, I'm really ashamed …" cow-keeper didn't dare to let his benefactor help him to wipe away the dust. He took three steps back and said respectfully, "From today onwards, mister will be the leader of my Four Seas Trading Station!" He bowed again.

"From today onwards, all merchants in Tanggu will follow the lead of mister …" It was as if a thunderclap had struck the ground, and all of the Sun steelers present actually collectively swore their allegiance to Xiao Letian. At that moment, Xiao Letian was slightly grateful to High Scholar Huang and the others. If they didn't cause such a ruckus, he wouldn't have been able to win everyone's hearts within two days.

Now that the drama ended, there was nothing new to be had. Fan Sai Manager started writing IOU at the execution ground, and in just four hours, all the one million silver were moved away.

How many silver were there in the one million silver taels? According to the 35 grams, it would be more than thirty-five thousand kilograms, which was a full thirty-five tons of weight. Not to mention Qing nationality, even the foreigners on the seaports gulped down their saliva at such a Silver Mountain. They couldn't even pull out the silver's glow when it shone in their eyes.

From today onwards, the Rakuten's name would have spread far and wide. Whether it was the Qing Kingdom Trader or the foreign merchants, none of them dared to doubt the Rakuten's wealth. Gradually, the nickname 'Nan Hu and Bei Xiao' spread widely and Xiao Letian had become one of the two God of Wealth along with Hu Xueyan.

When most of the chores in the square were dealt with, Captain Corsica brought a group of foreign merchants to personally pay a visit to Xiao Letian. He even prepared a greeting letter using the etiquette of the Daqing.

"Dear Scholar Xiao, I did not expect you to be such a great person. In just a few short days, you have already conquered the entire Port's Trader. I think we can thoroughly study our future collaboration. You have already won the respect of all of us …" After Ke Xijia said this, more than a dozen foreign merchants took off their hats and nodded to Xiao Letian.

As long as you can suppress them, they are actually cuter than the domestic Trader. Xiao Letian understood the subtext in Ke Xijia's words the moment he heard it. It was a big business deal that had brought him here. That was how he had entered the inner circle of the overseas merchants.

"Hahaha, many thanks to everyone for mister's support. Please accept my sincere thanks …" Xiao Letian spoke fluently in English as he led Sun Tie to Oceanic's backyard and asked, "Everyone, let's have a good talk. What good stuff do you have that you want to give me? Do you have a Fur Rifle? I can also eat USA s' Remington, and silver ore s, I really need silver ore s now, I can eat as much as you have … "Oh yeah, Captain Corsica, can I ask you for some private matters when you return home …"

The inner chamber of the Rakuten became a meeting room for smugglers. The group of people lowered their heads and whispered to each other. Business that violated the laws of the Daqing and the other countries had been finalized.

"Oh, God, the generous Xiao, you actually used gold to trade with us. You must know that the entire Europe's Currency system is supported by gold sterling. Gold is the life of our homeland …"

"Long live! With the Gold, let the law go to hell. My dear Xiao, we love you so much … "

Amidst Chinese goblin's ghostly wails, Xiang Shaolong sat quietly on the rooftop. He said to Liu Tie, who was not far away, "You should go back. Can you understand this mess of bird language?"

Lao Ying blushed a little at Xiang Shaolong's words. He cupped his hands and walked away. The eavesdropping mission this time was a complete failure.
