Wu Huifei was also stunned. She had just heard that Xiaobei and the others had failed to apply for a loan. How did the loss of three million strings of cash turn into five million strings of cash? Was it so easy to get money?
"Damn the manager of the bank. Look at what he has done to Xiaobei and the others. Three million strings of cash is too much for Xiaobei and the others. I'll talk to His Majesty later. "
Empress Wang was not happy. She felt sad when she thought of Xiaobei and the others struggling for money. Other people's children were so old that they would hug their relatives and act like a spoiled child, but Xiaobei and the others had to work hard by themselves.
The more Empress Wang thought about it, the sadder she felt. She said angrily, "Xiaobei and the others are too much. They insist on raising money by themselves. I'll remember it and ask someone to ask. See which company or group refuses to help them. They made Xiaobei feel bad for a while, but I'll make them feel bad for a lifetime."
Wang Juan smiled. "Mother, you don't have to do this. Who made Xiaobei feel bad? They will do it themselves. I guess you'll see them when we reach Hangzhou."
"Xiaobei's revenge is Xiaobei's business. I'm just thinking about it. You and Xiao Bao can't disappoint your younger siblings. And His Majesty, if he doesn't help this time, what will he do when Xiaobei sees him? Cuckoo, why do you think Xiaobei and the others need money? "
Empress Wang was still unwilling to let it go. In her opinion, it was a sin for anyone to not smile when they saw Xiaobei. People who didn't love cute children were not good people.
Wang Juan shook her head. "If they don't say, Xiao Bao and I won't ask. We don't want to dispel their enthusiasm. Children are often more persistent than adults."
"What if they lose money?" Wu Huifei asked.
"That depends on what Xiaobei and the others plan to do. If they still insist, they will take the initiative to negotiate with me and Xiao Bao. Xiao Bao and I will transfer the debt to them. They won't dare to ask for it. If they don't accept it, it will affect their cash flow.
If they don't insist, they will remain silent, which means that they don't care about the loss. This is the right of children. Xiao Bao and I will help them pay off the debt. Xiao Bao is in trouble. He has to guide his younger siblings to pick themselves up and continue to do business. He wants them to get up where they fell. "
Wang Juan said with a smile.
"Haha, this consort finally understands why Xiao Bei and the others are so smart. It's because they have the best older brother and sister in the world, Cuckoo. Let's talk about military matters."
Empress Wang pulled Wang Juan and began to talk about the knowledge of war.

Zhang Xiaobao also received the news. Li Longji, who was holding a bowl of wine, spat it all over the grill.
"It's fine, it's fine. I don't think it's dirty at all. Xiao Bao, do you think I'm dirty?" Li Longji coughed a few times and said embarrassedly.
Zhang Xiaobao picked up the vinegar beside him and sprayed it on the prawns. "I don't mind, Your Majesty. You don't know that under normal circumstances, when you eat seafood, you have to dip it in vinegar, especially prawns and crabs. They are very refreshing. There are also some that are dipped in ginger foam. You can try some later."
"Okay, I'll take it that you don't mind. Alright, I've already sprayed it, so why are you still spraying it? Since you asked, I'll let you eat all of it," Li Longji said gloomily.
Zhang Xiaobao put down the vinegar and looked at the prawns on the grill. "The fish is almost ready. I'll grill it for you later. Come, Your Majesty, let me toast you."
Li Longji drank the remaining wine in the bowl, smacked his lips, and said, "Three million strings of strings of cash is gone, but before I could ask them to support them, they actually immediately got five million strings of strings of cash. They're clearly showing off to the Great Tang Bank. This is just like your family's style. You get stronger when you meet the strong."
"Of course. I'm Zhang Xiaobao's younger brother and sister, and I'm like a kite. The more difficult the situation, the more I'll be able to soar into the sky. Cuckoo's and my mission is to do well on that string."
Zhang Xiaobao said with a smile. Then he asked the inner courtyard who came to deliver the news, "Who has made a deal now?"
"In response to your question, there's the Li family's Thunderbolt Logistics, the Yang family's Dongting Aquatic Products, the Ge family's Splendid Sundry Goods, and the other four are reporting to the owner of the main store. The strength of the first three is about the same, so it won't take too long to come to a conclusion."
The inner courtyard answered with a proud look on his face.
"Hey! They're all big guys, and they're specifically looking for the top 100 companies of the Great Tang. "Li Longji knew who they were as soon as he heard the names.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. The young master and the young lady are not ordinary businessmen." The inner courtyard was as happy as if others had praised him.
"Write down the details of their negotiation and show them to us. I don't know how they negotiated, but I think they shouldn't use their identities. Although their identities also play a big role, it's only a guarantee, not an oppressive one."
Zhang Xiaobao wanted to get detailed information immediately and see how his younger brother and sister did it.
"Yes, yes, remember it well, and find out the purpose of their money." Li Longji also said.
He picked up a shrimp and ate it. It was so sour that he frowned.
*****
Xuzhou, in front of the branch of the Qiantang Marine Products Group.
"This is a joint store opened by 22 businessmen of the Jiangnan East Road. The flagship store is in Hangzhou, and the manager of the branch in Xuzhou is surnamed Sun. Among the 22 businessmen, the biggest shareholder is the owner of a large fleet, also surnamed Sun."
The inner courtyard flipped through the information and introduced the eleven people to Beibei.
Beibei nodded and waved her small hand, "Let's go inside and talk. I don't believe that without Butcher Zhang, I have to eat hairy pigs. I'm scared if they don't give me a loan."
After that, Beibei led the way in, followed by the other ten people.
As soon as they entered the door, they smelled a fishy smell. The store was not small. There were four rows of containers for customers to see, with ten containers in each row, for a total of 40 containers.
The containers were filled with dried shrimps, squid, dried kelp, clams, fish fillets, shrimps, and other seafood. They were divided into different sizes and varieties.
There were four salespeople standing behind each row of containers. When they saw a group of children suddenly enter, their eyes lit up. They secretly thought that a big deal was coming. Just by looking at the clothes of this group of children, they knew that they were from rich families. The aura they exuded also proved this point.
Then, they were shocked. Although they were dressed well, the cute golden embroidery pattern on their chests was too scary. The little ancestors of the Zhang Family and Wang Family were here?
When the salesperson guarding the door saw the pattern, he turned around, stepped forward, and ran upstairs. He shouted as he ran, "Manager Sun, they're here. Not good, they're here. Quick, come down, Manager Sun …"
Beibei and the others were very natural. It seemed that they were used to it.
Beibei strolled to a container filled with fish fillets and stood on tiptoe to take a look. The four salespeople in the row quickly came over and stood respectfully.
"Can I taste it?" Beibei pointed at the fish fillets and asked.
"Can I taste it?" Beibei saw that the four of them did not speak, so he asked again.
"Ah? Taste? Okay, let's taste it. Ah ~! Wait a moment, you eat this … " One of the salespeople reacted and nervously finished the sentence. He suddenly turned around and took out a delicate wooden box from a small cabinet behind him. He opened it and took out a piece of fish fillet and presented it to Beibei.
The fish fillet was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The entire fish fillet was light yellow in color. The edges were not scattered, and there were no 'thorns' in the center. It was thin and tough. When Weiwei moved, the entire fish fillet gently trembled.
Beibei took the fish fillet and placed it on top of the other fish fillets in the container. He first smelled it, then pinched one side of the fish fillet with his hand and gently pulled. That small piece of fish fillet was pulled down along the grain.
Beibei put it in his mouth and chewed. He nodded with satisfaction and shouted behind him, "It's time to eat the fish fillet. Jun 'er, Pan' er, come quickly."
The ten children all came over and tore the fish into pieces.
"Delicious. Loose but not scattered, tough but not hard. Salty and sweet, fresh but not fishy. It's just like what we eat at home. Qiantang Seafood. It lives up to its reputation. I'll buy it. How much is it?" Little Yuan commented as he ate and asked the seller how much it was sold.
"It's worth a lot to be praised by Little Yuan and Little Young Master. Take out all the high-quality fish fillets in the shop. We'll let the Little Young Master and the ladies give us some face and take it away."
Following the voice, three people came down quickly from upstairs. One of them was the receptionist who had just shouted and ran up the stairs, followed by two others.
One of them was so tall that it shocked Beibei and the other children. He was short, dark, and had an asymmetrical figure. When he looked at people, there was always a trace of fierceness in his eyes.
The one who spoke was another person wearing a long robe. He was around fifty years old and had a third of the hair on his temples and head. He was full of smiles.
He cupped his hands and bowed to Beibei and the others. Beibei returned the greeting and said, "We're not here to ask for anything. We'll eat this fish fillet. You can keep the rest and continue to sell. We're not officials today, and we're not representing the Zhang Family and Wang Family. We're just here to discuss business with you."
"Well said, well said. Hurry, honored guests, please come upstairs. You still have to bring the fish fillets. Do us the honor." The person still had a warm smile on his face.
He didn't care what Beibei said about representing or not representing anyone, because he knew that if he didn't receive them well, not only would Beibei's brother and sister not agree, but even his own boss wouldn't accept it.
Beibei smiled embarrassedly. "You're making it seem like we're here to rob you. Hehe, Shopkeeper Sun, please."
The group of people went upstairs. The people below quickly took out the high-quality fish fillets. The seller didn't feel bad at all. It was a great honor to accept gifts.
Upstairs, Shopkeeper Sun Yang arranged for Beibei and the others to sit down and asked, "What do you want to drink? Hot milk or fruit juice? "
"Drink … drink plain water." Beibei didn't like the fruit juice and milk quality, so he didn't want to drink it.
Sun Yang also understood and nodded. Someone brought plain water and a fruit platter made of dried fruits and seasonal fruits was placed on the small table. The fruits in the fruit platter were all cut open without any carvings. They were scattered on the side, and there were bamboo skewers for the fruits.
There was a saying here. If you gave someone unpeeled and carved fruits, it wouldn't be convenient for them to eat them, so they wouldn't eat them. Instead, they would scatter them, making it seem casual. Only then would they be able to eat them. It was the same for dried fruits. If you didn't prepare something to specifically put the shell and core, then it would be no different from pouring tea until it was about to overflow.
Beibei had Xiao Yuan and the others look after Pan 'er and the younger ones. He took out a piece of paper from his bag and said to Sun Yang, "Shopkeeper Sun, we've come to disturb you this time because we want to sign a cooperation agreement with your bank. We'll provide the proposal, and you'll be responsible for the investment. Take a look at the content first."
After saying that, Beibei asked someone to pass a piece of paper over.
Sun Yang took it, but didn't open it. Instead, he asked, "Boss Zhang … Shopkeeper Zhang, how much do you want us to pay?"
"At least one million strings of cash. Don't consider my family and our official position. This is business. Please." Beibei stretched out a finger and made a drawing gesture, then let Sun Yang continue to read the content.
Sun Yang still didn't look and stretched out three fingers. "Three million strings of cash. My Qiantang Ocean Products Group agrees. When will the money be used? My company will transfer it over at any time. "
"Ah? Three million strings of cash? Can your shopkeeper make the decision? I'm not doubting you, but the amount is too big. "Beibei was surprised.
The strange looking person beside Sun Yang spoke, "Sun Yang, you can only transfer 50,000 strings of cash. I'm here to patrol and have to watch over Brother Sun. I don't agree."
"What do you do?" Beibei was unhappy. This person was randomly interrupting.
"I'm a good brother of the company's largest shareholder, the owner of the independent trading fleet. I help him patrol Tang. I've seen your emperor before," this person said arrogantly.
"You patrol Tang? How come I don't know? Shopkeeper Sun … "Beibei was angry. Where did this inspector come from?
When Sun Yang saw Beibei's dark expression, he hastily said, "Oh, my little ancestor, he's not patrolling Tang. He's the branch of Qiantang Ocean Products in Tang. His name is Shan Tushi. Our boss brought him back from the new island. Don't misunderstand."
After speaking to Beibei, Sun Yang said to the person called Shan Tushi, "You're tired of living. Don't get me in trouble. This is the little ancestor of the Zhang Family and the Wang Family. Let me put it this way. Lu Zhou's Business Association belongs to them. You know the Hurricane Battalion, right? It belongs to them. "
Shan Tushi's eyes widened. His mouth was wide open, and his body began to tremble. After a while, he shook his head with all his might. With a thud, he knelt in front of Beibei.
As he kowtowed, he said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you. I won't fight back or move when you hit me."
"Shopkeeper Sun, is he crazy?" Beibei was confused.
"Shan Tushi, get up. He's annoying. Get up and talk properly." Sun Yang pulled Shan Tushi up.
Shan Tushi was still looking at Xiao Bei and the others. He said, "You saved my life. The Hurricane Battalion called for artillery support and fired into the forest from the sea. We called for air support. A group of people flew over and killed all the people who chased after me and Brother Sun. Good, good job. Good job, Great Tang. Now I am also a member of the Great Tang. The Great Tang also protected me, just like how it protected Brother Sun. But we have a promise.
"Oh! So you're someone who was saved by the Hurricane Battalion. "Beibei knew what was going on. He waved his hand casually and said," Don't worry.
You don't have to kowtow to thank me. I don't think they saved you. They saved the people of Tang. Anyone born in Tang is a citizen of Tang from the moment of birth. Tang has to protect them because they will have to do things for Tang in the future and pay taxes.
My brother and sister said that the people of Tang worked hard for the stability, prosperity, and strength of Tang. How can Tang leave the people alone without help and without care for their lives? No matter where Tang's military power can reach, even if it's a dog, it can't be beaten by anyone.
If you kill one of my people, I'll slaughter your village. The world is so big, it's hard to find a place where you can't hide. I won't rest until I'm dead. "
"Yes, yes, yes. On the new island, the three tribes around my tribe attacked me. Those who didn't surrender and work for me were all killed. I, I also saw you … it's our emperor. You kowtowed many times, and the emperor rewarded me with many things.
But I forgot, forgot to praise your Hurricane Battalion. Next time, if there's a chance, I'll take you to see the emperor. The emperor is very easy to talk to. You're so good-looking … interesting. The emperor will like you. "
Shan Tushi nodded repeatedly and made a promise. Sun Yang covered his face with his hands and didn't dare to look at Beibei and the others.
Beibei sighed and said, "Okay, there will be a chance in the future."
"The emperor, the emperor is, is my father." Pan 'er, who was eating the pear slices that Xiao Yuan fed her, pointed at herself and said when she heard others mention the emperor.
"Yes, yes, he's our good Pan 'er's father." Beibei followed Pan 'er's words and said. When Pan' er happily continued to eat the pear, he said to Sun Yang, "Shopkeeper Sun, you should look at the content of the cooperation. We don't want money, we want … we want you to invest. Ai ~ ya! I can't explain it clearly. Isn't this still asking for money? Look, look. "
Sun Yang immediately picked up the paper and flipped through it as fast as he could. He nodded, "I've read it. Very good, we agree to cooperate. 3 million strings of cash."
When Beibei saw Sun Yang's action, he was so angry that he took two deep breaths. He pouted and said, "Let's go, we'll change to another company. We won't cooperate with Qiantang Sea Products anymore. We don't want anything."
Xiao Yuan and the others stood up at the same time and planned to leave.
Sun Yang was shocked. He rushed over and opened his arms, "Don't, don't go, I'll read it, I'll read it seriously. If the conditions are not good enough, we won't invest a single copper coin. How about it?"
Shan Tushi also stretched out his arms to stop them. He wanted to wait until the matter was over and then treat them to a meal to thank them properly.
Xiao Yuan, who acted as a mediator, advised Beibei, "Why don't we wait? We are businessmen, we don't care about money, right? "
Only then did Beibei sit back down. He calmed down and said to Sun Yang, "Please!"
Sun Yang solemnly picked up the paper and slowly flipped it open. He wanted to take a good look. He did not dare to let Beibei and the others leave because of his negligence. Otherwise, even if others were angry, his own boss would not let him off.
After the boss came back, he kept telling others about what happened at the new island overseas. He was also the most proactive when it came to paying taxes. He said that every copper coin he paid was not only for the Tang Empire, but also for himself.
At the same time, he also set a rule. No matter who cooperated with an independent trading fleet, they had to take the initiative to pay taxes. They also had to promise that the people they cooperated with had branches all over the country. If the Zhang Family and the Wang Family needed, any branch manager had the right to directly transfer 3 million strings of cash without asking for anything in return.
If the two families needed more money, the branch manager had to send a message back to the headquarters as soon as possible.
From this, it could be seen how dangerous the situation was when the boss was rescued.
While thinking about this, Sun Yang's gaze fell on the paper. After flipping the cover, it was the first page. On it was written, 'Baby Candy House Cooperation'.
Sun Yang nodded slightly. He knew that Baby Candy House was opened by Beibei and the others, and they had branches in several big places in the Tang Empire.
Sun Yang flipped the page and continued reading. His eyes lit up. Then, he stopped thinking about other things and flipped through page by page. The more he read, the more surprised and excited he became. When he was halfway through, he stopped and asked, "Young Master Xiao Bao has such means?"
