Chapter 114 - Borrowing

Chapter 114 Borrowing

For three consecutive days, the transaction volume of the Linli Building was high. Because Yin Xuetong carried out the purchase restriction strategy, so, businessmen who wanted to buy at low price but sell at high price couldn’t get profits from it.

The Liehuo Spirits were far too cheap with their high quality. Even if the value of the third-class spirits were far more than one tael of silver. The ordinary wineries in the Qinghe Town was uncompetitive and their profits had been reduced by more than half in just three days. If things went on like this, they would not be far from bankruptcy.

The winery bosses felt panic. Thinking of what they had done before, they were more afraid.

“The Linli Building is going to bankrupt us. It’s too cruel!”

“We should not spread rumors everywhere. Unexpectedly, they really develop the spirits. What should we do?”

“Well! Why didn’t you think about the consequence of what you had done? Now we fall on hard time because of you. How do you compensate us?”

“Hoho…How could you say that now? Why didn’t you come out to stop us when we did that?!”

“…”

A group of winery bosses in the house were about to fight. The elder man sitting in the middle finally couldn’t help slapping the table and then he shouted angrily, “Shut up!”

Instantly, all people were quiet in the house.

The elder man was obviously prestigious among the group of people. He sophisticatedly looked at all them and said, “We should know that the business world is like a battlefield. Winner takes all. That’s all!”

Then the elder man sighed and said, “I admit that I am defeated by the Linli Building. The Qinghe Winery is less skilled at making wine and there is nothing to talk about. I don’t want to talk about the dirty things you did before and you are suffering the consequence of what you did. The Linli Building is provoked by you. So, they deliberately reduced the price and let you have no business to do. In my opinion, they can do like this, but…if thing go on like this, it will affect the prosperity of the wine industry in the Qinghe Town. Therefore, I propose a compromise between the Linli Building with us through Satrap Yan and Ms. Li of the Linli Building. What do you think?”

Mo Henggong’s reasonable words made people silent. They also knew that they were wrong. But if they apologized to a young girl who was over ten years younger than them, isn’t it an imposition?

Mo Henggong was not anxious. He sat with confidence and refreshed his spirit by closing his eyes, waiting the response of all people.

After a period of time, a gray-faced boss finally stood up and said with a sigh, “I agree with Elder Mo’s proposal. The winery is my life. If the winery goes bankrupt, my family will not be guaranteed. Since we are wrong, we should admit it.”

Seeing he had admitted that they made mistakes, some acquaintances instantly followed him and said, “I agree. I am wrong this time. I should apologize to Ms. Li.”

“Yes!”

“Me, too!”

“I don’t agree. Why should I apologize to a silly little girl?”

“…”

After a heated discussion, Mo Henggong took most of the people to the Satrap’s Mansion. Only a few extremely bad bosses of winery were still resisting. They knew what they had done. Even if they went to the Satrap’s Mansion for help, they would not necessarily be forgiven. In that case…there was no need for them to ask for an insult.

Satrap Yan was deeply troubled by the Jin and Lin families. He felt surprised when a crowd of winery bosses visited him suddenly.

“Yes, I forget that we can ask Ms. Li for help!”

Yan Shixun felt delighted. Many industries of the Yan Family were facing vicious competition, which forced him to do business at a loss. These days, he had lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and the liquid capital was about to be run out.

“Elder Mo, I will discuss the matter with Ms. Li. But, in my opinion, if you want to express your sincerity, you might as well let the winery bosses jointly sign a letter of apology. Then put it on the bulletin board to restore reputation of the Linli Building. In this way, the Linli Building is certain to let the past grudges go and will not force you to go bankrupt.”

Then the winery bosses who came over all looked pale.

Mo Henggong kept a straight face. He naturally nodded and said, “We should do that and I totally agree with you. Ms. Li is a divine kind-hearted doctor and must have been annoyed this time. A letter of apology signed jointly would be enough to appease Mr. Li’s anger.”

Yan Shixun laughed loudly when hearing Mo Henggong’s words and said, “You’re really well informed.”

Then he looked at the winery bosses and said gravely, “Ms. Li have saved my son’s life. To be honest, if you used violent means, I would arrest you to repay the debt I owed Su Li. Now you don’t even want to write a letter of apology? Are you going to go to the prison?”

The winery bosses turned pale and said they wouldn’t when hearing Yan Shixun’s words. They didn’t have any relations with such person as Satrap Yan. If they knew that the Satrap’s Mansion supported the Linli Building secretly, they wouldn’t offend the Linli Building at all even if they were bold enough.

“Lord, we will write a letter of apology. Don’t be mad!”

“Lord, please don’t be mad!”

“By the way, the bosses of the Qingzhu Winery and Wensi Winery didn’t come and they started the rumors first!”

“…”

Yan Shixun saw the bosses of winery change their minds in an instant and satirized them secretly. But he kept a straight face and said lightly, “Do your own things well and don’t interfere in the things of the two wineries.”

Under the instructions of Mo Henggong, the group of the winery bosses nervously wrote a letter of apology and posted it on the most conspicuous place of the bulletin board. Soon, it attracted people of the town to watch and they talked about it delightedly for a while.

“It turns out that the rumors of the Linli Building are all false. The bosses of other wineries spread the rumors because of jealousy. How unwise they are!”

“Satrap Yan is a good official!”

Ordinary people talked about that with each other. However, there were also many people who were aware of the hidden message of the letter of apology.

“Does the Satrap’s Mansion support the Linli Building? I didn’t expect that Ms. Li is so powerful that Satrap Yan can take the initiative to establish friendship with her.”

“The price of the Liehuo Spirits is going up soon. Don’t you know that the bosses of winery wrote a letter of apology and signed together with fear?”

“…”

Yin Xuetong heard the news and was relieved with a smile. This time, with the help of Satrap Yan, the plan for the Liehuo Spirits was successfully implemented. After that, no one would doubt the fact that “the Linli Building is the first winery in the Qinghe Town”.

After the letter of apology was posted for a half day, the wooden plaque was soon replaced by the Linli Building. The prices of all grades of Liehuo Spirits were increased ten times, which was the same as the price of the Osmanthus wine. The winery bosses who got the news felt relieved for keeping their industry finally.

But the drinkers scolded them. They didn’t scold the Linli Building, but those wineries. Had it not been for the rumors and persecutions of the wineries, the Linli Building would not have change the original price.

But the die is cast, and they had no ability to change the wine price of the Linli Building and could only curse and complain. Then they pinched their noses and went on drinking at the Linli Building.

While other wineries were celebrating, Yan Shixun came to the Linli Building in secret.

“Borrowing?”

Su Li lifted her brows and said to Yan Shixun with a smile, “Are you kidding me? With the financial resource accumulation of the Yan Family for so many years, don’t you even have the ability to fight against the Jin and Lin families for half a month?”

Yan Shixun was shocked when hearing Su Li’s words. Only then did he realize that Ms. Li seemed to be too clear about the details of the aristocratic families in the Qinghe Town. How could she guess that what the details of their family were?

But since he had come and he was ready to disclose the whole secret, he wouldn’t get into that seriously. Yan Shixun explained with a sigh, “There are things you don’t know. The money of the Jin and Lin families is indeed more than that of the Yan Family, but not too much. It is reasonable to say that I can stick to the fight for half a month or even longer, but this time it’s quite different…”

Yan Shixun frowned tightly and thought of what his industry suffered those days. He said, “The Jin and Lin families are totally desperate to hold down their prices and it led to a serious loss of the liquid capital deposited by the Yan Family. I suspect that there are other families involved, but these days I have checked the fund flow of the Ran and Qin families and found that they didn’t help the Jin and Lin families.”

Su Li’s eyes were lit and she said in a low voice, “Other families?”

“Yes!” Yan Shixun said firmly, “And they are families with plenty of money. It there were only the Jin and Lin families, it’s totally unreasonable. Because they are cutting off more benefit of their own than the benefits they cut off of their opponents. If they continue to do this, before the Yan Family goes bankrupt, they will go bankrupt first.”

Su Li thought deeply and suddenly asked, “Have you heard a woman named ‘Wu Yun’?”

Yan Shixun was chilled and then he answered, “Of course I know. What do you mean?”

“Nothing, I just ask.” Su Li immediately changed the topic as if she really just asked casually. She said, “How much are you going to borrow today?”

Yan Shixun secretly bore the name of “Wu Yun” into his mind and immediately raised his head and sincerely said, “The more, the better! I don’t believe that people behind the Jin and Lin families have unlimited power. As long as I can stick to, I will definitely win in the end! Here I assure you that I will share the fruits of victory with you and will never have them all to myself!”

Su Li smiled and said, “Now that you have said so, how can’t I help you? It’s enough for the Linli Building to run the winery only and I don’t need too many industries. But in the future, I will have more and more people and the Linli Building is too small to house them. If you give the residence of the Jin Family to the Linli Building, I would be grateful.”

Yan Shixun’s pupils shrank. Why did he feel that Ms. Li wanted to get the residence of the Jin Family so much?

Would she want to get involved in the matter? But whatever she meant, as long as the Yan Family could win, everything else was not a problem.

“You are too serious, if I gained the final victory, you could optionally live in the residence of the Jin Family.”

Inside the house, the old man and the young girl burst into cheerful laughter.

About three minutes later, Yan Shixun took a heavy bag of bank notes and left the Linli Building in horror.

“A total of one million taels of liquid capital. Is it the profit for the past six months or the foundation of the Linli Building…”

He once was in the martial arts circle. He had been thinking about Su Li all the time. The more he thought about her, the more terrible he felt. He was so chilled that he didn’t dare to think about her any more.

At night, Yan Hongxiu touched the silver long bow in the martial arts field of the school and looked happy. Recently, she seemed to be able to feel the emotion of the silver bow, as if the silver bow was no longer a dead thing, but a living person who could communicate with her.

“Can you finally communicate with the bow?”

The weird sound suddenly came from behind. Yan Hongxiu turned around and said happily, “Immortal master, you are here!”

Su Li nodded softly and said, “Now, try to pull the bow.”

Yan Hongxiu instantly stood up straight and held the bowstring. She pulled the bowstring slightly. Although she didn’t pull it so much, she was mad with joy. She couldn’t do that at all before. It seemed that the bowstring of the silver bow was made of stone and had no elasticity at all.

“Very good!” Su Li praised her, “You’ve got the initial approval of the bow. Then, let your father buy more herbs for generating blood and put them at home.”

Yan Hongxiu looked blank and felt confused. What was the relationship between herbs for generating blood and her bow practice?

“Next, you need to daub the bow with your own blood every day, and you can’t pause for one day. I’ll impart an instruction to you and you read it silently while daubing blood. Don’t cease. Do you understand?”

Yan Hongxiu felt shocked when hearing Su Li’s words. What a weird method it was! She was asked to use her blood to control the bow!

“Blood refining method.”

Su Li looked at Yan Hongxiu who looked pale, and she said in a flat voice, “Your potential is not enough for you to practice martial arts, but you are very clever. If you used the blood refining method to communicate with the psychic solider, you could make up for the congenital deficiency and step into the martial arts circle. That’s all I want to say. You can think about it by yourself. If you failed, you could only blame yourself for not working hard enough.”
