The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1733

[1733. Chapter 1648: There is no turning back when the bow is drawn]

This is generally the case with things on the market.

When people like the Qi family, who hold a large amount of land, start selling, the power it brings is extremely terrifying.

On the one hand, there is an oversupply of land on the market, which makes the already uninterested market even colder.

And because more and more land is being sold, land prices will inevitably plummet.

The Qi family is the largest wealthy family in South Zhili. Once they take action, their energy is astonishing.

As a result, land prices throughout Jiangnan began to be deeply affected.

At the beginning, many people were still making purchases… But soon, the people who made the purchase thought they had gotten a big deal. When they discovered that the land they bought for a thousand taels of silver today had reached the second By the end of the day, there were only eight hundred taels left. The person who purchased the land suddenly became the person who purchased the land.

Of course… for many high-ranking families, their worries are even more serious. The Qi family is not a small family. Logically speaking, they should not be so petty. There must be some news about the sudden sale of land. In addition, the imperial army is rushing towards this place, and the dynamics of the Duke of Wei’s mansion are unclear.

The emperor did not issue an order to immediately inspect the Duke’s palace of Wei, nor did he have a clue about the imperial mission to kill the censor of the left deputy capital.

All these doubts made them realize that something big might happen.

The Qi family’s performance confirmed this.

Whoever it is… has a lot of land in his hands, but knows that this land is getting cheaper day by day. The anxiety and uneasiness in his heart are enough to make people go crazy.

When the price fell to half in the blink of an eye, someone finally couldn’t sit still.

As a result, in many areas, more land began to participate in the sale.

Qi Zhiyuan always kept his eyes on the land price, looking at the land’s declining value. At this time, his heart began to heat up.

In fact… although his land was sold in large quantities and a lot was sold, most of them, even at low prices, were still uninterested.

When more than thirty taels of silver per acre of land turned into more than ten taels, and even started to be worse than ten taels… Qi Zhiyuan, who had already mobilized all the capital of the Qi family, was already eager to try.

Of course…he was in no hurry to start bargain hunting right away.

The word “buying the bottom” is really wonderful.

This is also a new vocabulary Qi Zhiyuan has learned in recent days.

Qi Zhiyuan was still waiting for the opportunity. In order to keep the price falling, he began to continuously lower the price of Qijia’s land.

Nine liang…eight liang…seven liang…

when it reached seven liang…Qi Zhiyuan couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air.

On this day, the children of the Qi family had already gathered in the ancestral hall.

All the uncles and children entered the ancestral hall and paid homage to their ancestors. In the ancestral hall, Qi Zhiyuan looked at the people in the clan with complacency.

Immediately… Qi Zhiyuan said seriously: “How is the fund mobilization going?”

“Uncle, all the cash has been calculated, and there are more than 300,000 taels…”

The Qi family is a gentry family with a lot of land. But cash is scarce.

More than 300,000 grains and silver would be an astronomical figure for anyone to put in it, but for the Qi family, the value of their land far exceeds this number by an unknown amount.

Qi Zhiyuan couldn’t help but frown.

When he sold the land, he didn’t get much money back. After all, when he started selling, there were still people buying it. But soon, people started to wait and see, and then… people who noticed something was wrong turned their heads and started selling too. . As a result… the current land market has a price but no market. No matter how low the price is, no one cares about it. Instead, it triggers more people to sell. I heard that many families in Jiangnan have begun to sell their land. These people are It was the old fox. The Qi family took action first, and naturally got a whiff of it. With such a scramble, there were countless pieces of land on the market. Even though this land cost seven or eight taels of silver, no one dared to buy it.

“Too few.” He frowned, looked at an old man, and said, “Second uncle, didn’t you say that you will sell the shop in Hangzhou? How is it? How is the situation over there?”

Second uncle Qi said with a bitter smile. : “Nowadays, people are in panic. It’s so difficult to cash it in. Zhiyuan, what do you want so much money for, and it’s so urgent…”

Qi Zhiyuan pursed his lips, but then looked at his son Qi Ye: “Aren’t there any merchants asking about the raw silk in the library yet?”

“The merchants from the capital have refused to come. The raw silk has plummeted. Now…”

Qi Zhiyuan waved his hand. He couldn’t help but be speechless. More than three hundred thousand taels of silver, now go It is true that you can make a lot of money by buying the bottom.

But…you can obviously earn more…it would be a pity to miss such a great opportunity.

I just regretted that time was too short and there was no time to raise more cash. If there were two million, three million, or even five million taels of silver, the Qi family… could make it in just a few days. It has become one of the top sects in the world. From now on, who dares to look down upon it?

He looked worried and became anxious. His lips were trembling, his head was slightly lowered, his hands were behind his back, and he was pacing back and forth. Finally, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the crowd. He gritted his teeth and said, “I still have to visit Xishan Bank.” “Let’s borrow some money and use our real estate as collateral. Anyway, these lands can’t be sold now. I’ll go there in person. This matter cannot be delayed.”

He was extremely reluctant to borrow money.

Why do people like him need to borrow money from others?

But after all the hard work, I only took a sip of the soup. It was really hard to swallow.

He gritted his teeth and sneered: “That’s it.”

………

When I saw Wang Jinyuan again, Wang Jinyuan still looked at Qi Zhiyuan with a pleasant look.

The two parties have agreed that when they reach seven taels of silver, they will start to frantically acquire land on the market, and they must act very quickly, otherwise it will be too late when someone comes to their senses and starts to buck the trend.

Hearing that Qi Zhiyuan was coming, Wang Jinyuan came to the living room, looked at Qi Zhiyuan with a smile and said: “Xishan Bank, we are ready here. I am a man of his word, so I will wait for Brother Qi to buy the bottom together. How about it, Brother Qi… get ready How’s it going?”

Qi Zhiyuan said seriously: “Of course we are ready. We must work together on this matter. I have been reading some books recently, and I have gained a lot. It’s just that… I still don’t have enough silver on hand. Last time. , I remember that my husband mentioned a word called leverage, right?”

Wang Jinyuan tweeted and nodded: “But, leverage.”

“I want to give it a try.” Qi Zhiyuan took a deep breath. He is a big banker. As Wang Jinyuan said, he can determine the rise and fall of the market. As long as he has a large amount of funds, madly acquires land, and then withdraws the land he listed for sale in Yahang, then the land price will inevitably rise against the trend. By then , it is a situation of buying low and selling high. Here, there may be huge profits of five times or more than ten times. The most important thing now is to have enough money, even if Xishan is unwilling to cooperate with me and buy the bottom together. , and enough to decide the value of the land for yourself.

Of course, if Xishan also takes action, then… the benefits from this may be even higher.

Wang Jinyuan nodded and said: “Brother Qi is really a cheerful person. It is easy to borrow money. Xishan Bank has a lot of money. I don’t know how much to borrow? Of course, the bank has rules. It is rare that it requires collateral. It’s just that Are you ready for the mortgage?”

Qi Zhiyuan was hesitant about this and said tentatively: “How about two million taels of silver? It’s easy to pledge. I have plenty of land.”

Wang Jinyuan said simply. A contract is needed, and money can be transferred at any time here in Xishan…”

Qi Zhiyuan regretted it when he heard it.

The land in his hands was enough to mortgage countless amounts of money. Now that the two million taels were calculated, it was still less. He gritted his teeth: “No, why not just five million taels. Don’t worry, the Qi family’s fields and real estate , and there are countless shops in the city, which are enough to pay for it.”

Wang Jinyuan glanced at him appreciatively: “The Qi family is a first-class wealthy family, not to mention there is enough mortgage, there is nothing you can’t trust. When will you lend money? “

Qi Zhiyuan said immediately: “The sooner the better.”

Wang Jinyuan then said: “You know the interest rate of the loan, right? If it is 5 million taels of silver, you have to repay three cents per month. “Fifteen thousand taels of silver.”

Qi Zhiyuan looked calm. Actually… speaking of it, Xishan Bank is indeed a good place to borrow money. The interest here is ridiculously low compared to what the Qi family gave to tenants.

Without much hesitation, he nodded and said, “If I earn enough money within three months, I will make peace with my capital and interest.”

Wang Jinyuan smiled.

This Xishan Bank was extremely efficient in targeting large households like the Qi family, and it only took two days… When countless land deeds and land deeds were sent to the branch of Xishan Bank as collateral, these boxes of treasure money were naturally Ready.

When Qi Zhiyuan got the cash, his heart jumped into his throat.

He had not slept for several days.

And next… he can finally close the net and sweep across the entire Jiangnan. From then on… the Qi family has the final say in this half of Jiangnan.

The people of the Qi family immediately began to take action.

All the listed land was withdrawn, and then… almost at the same time, the Qi family’s children, with huge sums of money in hand, began to acquire land crazily.

They didn’t even bother to look at the quality of the land. This sixty-seven taels of silver per acre of land was already ridiculously cheap, so they took as much as they had.

News from all over the country were delivered to Qi’s home almost overnight.

Qi Zhiyuan’s whole body was like an old monk sitting still.

His focus was not on land acquisition.

After all, there is a lot of low-priced land on the market now, and I have a lot of money.

What he focused on was Xishan.

“How’s it going? What’s going on in Xishan? Has the acquisition started?”

“Master, at the beginning, people from Xishan did appear in Yahang and asked about the price. At first, the villain thought they had already started to take action, but who Knowing that they only had thunder and no rain…” The steward panted and looked at the haggard master with a timid look. The master had not slept for an unknown amount of time these days, and his eyes were bloodshot and looked extremely… Horrible.

When Qi Zhiyuan heard this, his heart felt as if he was being hammered hard, his body trembled, his eyes widened and he said, “They… actually broke their word.”

“Master, is it… is it…”

Qi Zhiyuan asked with a gloomy face: “How is the land price now?”

The manager said truthfully: “Since our land was withdrawn and started to be repurchased, the decline in land prices has been stopped a lot. Some governments The county has started to rise slightly. “

Huh…

Qi Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He entered the market with five million taels of silver and also removed so much land that was listed for sale. It is strange that the land does not rise.

Even if Xishan is still hesitating, the Qi family can turn the tide.

Probably because he hadn’t slept for a long time, his mood seemed extremely changeable. At this time, he laughed ferociously and said: “Haha, if they don’t come in, that’s okay, just let me eat this piece of meat by myself, and ignore Xishan. I’ll give it to you as much as you want, regardless of the price.”

The steward looked a little worried and boldly said, “Master, is this too risky… The Qi family’s family motto is to be very cautious. ah……”

Qi Zhiyuan’s face became more ferocious, but his eyes gradually became calm, and he suddenly said meaningfully: “Open the bow… there is no turning back, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be fired!”

At this point, he was close to making huge profits. It’s only one step away. The expected surge is coming, and the Qi family will become the largest gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as the land price rises, they can sell some land to raise funds for repayment. This great opportunity… has arrived.

Is there any way out?
