Wang Chong shook his head and shot him a consoling gaze.
He was never one to act rashly. Even though the interest of 2% was a hefty sum, as long as he was able to obtain the dealership of the Hyderabad Stone Expansion Mine, this amount was nothing.
"Su Bai, these words aren't just effective on you. It's the same for others as well. Anyone who wants to borrow money from me can do so. I can even write down a promissory note as proof. "
Wang Chong said calmly. His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough to be heard by everyone. In an instant, everyone's gazes turned subtle.
Which one of the scions in the Eight Gods Pavilion didn't have an extraordinary background and wealth? These people had never worried about food and drink.
However, no matter how wealthy their families were, no one would complain about having too much money. Furthermore, even though their families gave them a lot of money, their expenses were high as well. Take Wei Hao for example. Even though his family gave him a lot of money, he didn't have many silver taels left on him. Most of the time, he didn't even have enough money to spend.
"Hehe, to think that the son of Duke Jiu would be so poor that he would come to the Eight Gods Pavilion to beg for money! Wang Chong, if you want money, you don't have to go through so much trouble. Take this silver tael as a reward from me. You don't have to return it! "
After the initial shock, Su Bai suddenly chuckled. With a flick of his wrist, he took out a silver tael and tossed it onto the round table before Wang Chong.
Two percent interest, calculated on a daily basis, would be sixty percent a month!
Wang Chong's promise couldn't be considered small.
However, Su Bai suddenly thought of something important. Duke Jiu's lineage was known for their incorruptibility, which was also known as' poverty '.
For a son like Wang Chong, his monthly expenses were only a few silver taels.
How much interest could these few silver taels generate? It was useless no matter how high Wang Chong's offer was. Since that was the case, he might as well be generous and give him a few silver taels. At the same time, he could make use of this opportunity to mock him.
Unexpectedly, Wang Chong stretched out his index and middle fingers and with a flick of his fingers, the silver ingot fell to the ground.
"Su Bai! This amount of silver isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. You'd better keep it for your own use. "
Wang Chong sneered disdainfully.
"Humph! If you think it's too little, I can give you another ingot! "
Su Bai sneered. With a flick of his wrist, another silver ingot landed on the table in front of Wang Chong.
Wang Chong didn't even look at it. With a grin, he flicked his finger, sending the ingot of silver to the ground.
"Not enough!"
Wang Chong said calmly. That mocking gaze of his caused Su Bai's heart to clench in pain.
"Brat, don't be too greedy. I'm in a good mood today, that's why I reward you with two ingots of silver. How much silver do you want? Three ingots? Four ingots? Still not enough? Don't tell me you want one tael of gold? Do you think you can afford it with your monthly salary? "
Su Bai sneered.
"One tael of gold? Hmph, Su Bai, looks like you're short of money as well. Since that's the case, there's no need for you to lend me any money. How about this, I'll lend you a few taels of gold to spend later on. "
Wang Chong snorted disdainfully.
Those words made Su Bai's face darken, and he felt unwell all over.
What do you mean by one tael of gold is short of money?
Even if the scions of the nobility in the capital had an extraordinary background, their monthly allowance would only be a few ingots to a few gold taels. At most, they would only have around a dozen gold taels.
Even the scions of the nobility wouldn't dare to disregard a tael of gold. Who does this bastard Wang Chong think he is? Lending me a few gold taels to spend?
How infuriating!
"Alright, Su Bai, you thought that you were formidable, but it turns out that you're only so-so. Since you're not strong enough, you should just stand to the side! "
Wang Chong stood up from his seat with his hands on the armrest. At the same time, he gestured for Su Bai to stand by the side.
"Everyone else, listen up. 'Twenty percent interest, calculated by the day, a month'. This sentence is effective on everyone. I'll borrow as much as you have! As long as anyone lends me money, they will be able to receive a sizable income from me a month later! "
"Wang Chong, are you serious about those words?"
A voice suddenly interjected. However, it didn't seem to notice that Su Bai's complexion had turned awful.
"Of course!"
Wang Chong said calmly. "In the Eight Gods Pavilion, is there anyone who goes back on their words?"
"But what if you can't pay up when the time comes?"
Another voice asked.
Su Bai's complexion turned even more awful.
"What a joke! Even if I can't pay up, can't the Wang Clan pay up? As long as they have my promissory note, do you think that they won't be able to get back a few gold taels? "
Wang Chong sneered arrogantly.
The crowd burst into laughter. Indeed! The people in the Eight Gods Pavilion were either wealthy or respectable. Even though Wang Chong was unable to repay the debt, the Wang Clan behind Wang Chong was still able to do so.
As long as Duke Jiu of the Wang Clan was around, the Wang Clan would be an unshakable reputation.
"Alright! Wang Chong, you're the one who said it. Here are two gold taels, take it! "
A good-for-nothing from an aristocratic family stepped out from the crowd, and delightedly placed two golden leaves on the table. He came from a wealthy background, but who would complain about having too much money?
Borrowing Wang Chong's money for a month was a good opportunity for him to earn more.
"This is my gold taels! Wang Chong, remember to give me the promissory note! "
Su Bai was infuriated. Before he could fly into a rage, another scion stepped out and placed a few gold taels on Wang Chong's table.
Then, a third, a fourth …
"These bastards, aren't they going against gongzi?"
The faces of the crowd beside Su Bai darkened. The actions of these scions was equivalent to slapping Su Bai's face. But for so many of them to lend money to Wang Chong at the same time …
At this moment, even Su Bai didn't dare to stand out and stand against the crowd.
"Wang Chong, are you insane? What do you need so much money for?"
Wei Hao saw everything, and he whispered to Wang Chong anxiously and anxiously. He was clear about Wang Chong's expenses, and he knew that he didn't need so much money.
He couldn't understand why Wang Chong wanted to borrow so much money.
"Wei Hao, don't worry. I'm not fooling around. I didn't borrow this money to squander it, but for another purpose. You'll understand in a moment. "
Wang Chong said calmly. Borrowing the four treasures of the study from a scion beside him, Wang Chong hurriedly wrote out a promissory note.
Upon seeing this promissory note, the crowd around Wang Chong increased.
"Wang Chong, I'll leave the money to you. Write one for me! "
"Me too! … "
…
A commotion broke out around Wang Chong.
Upon seeing this sight, Su Bai's face darkened and he turned to leave.
"Gongzi, are we going to leave just like that?"
In the crowd, Gao Fei squeezed to Su Bai's side and asked indignantly.
However, due to Wang Chong's interference in the duel, he had lost more than ten gold taels. He was unwilling to let it go just like that.
"Leave? Hmph, why should we leave? "
Su Bai halted his footsteps and turned to look at Wang Chong's direction. He sneered coldly:
"Didn't you hear what he said? Two percent interest, calculated on a daily basis. Borrow as much as you have. Why should we leave when such an opportunity is presented to us? "
"Then gongzi means …"
Gao Fei was confused. If they weren't leaving, what was Su Bai trying to do?
"Hmph, doesn't this lad want to borrow money? Since that's the case, let's give him a big one. I would like to see how he is going to repay the interest of several hundred gold taels with his monthly allowance of a few silver taels. — — Look for Yao gongzi now and tell him about this matter. You will know what to do when the time comes. "
Su Bai sneered coldly.
"Yes, gongzi! I'll go now. "
Gao Fei's heart jolted. Understanding the situation, he rejoiced. Without another word, he quickly left.
Disciples of prestigious clans like them didn't receive much money from their families. Usually, it would be at least a few silver taels to a dozen gold taels. However, Yao Feng didn't have much. It wasn't a problem for him to borrow a few hundred gold taels.
If Wang Chong still didn't come out a month later, this would be the best opportunity to deal with the Wang Clan. Even if he couldn't deal with the Wang Clan, this was also a good opportunity to earn money.
To be able to earn several dozen gold taels in a month, why wouldn't he do such a good thing?!
…
The news that Yao Feng received was much faster than he had expected.
"What? That Wang Chong is borrowing money wantonly in the Eight Gods Pavilion? "
In a tavern not too far away from the Eight Gods Pavilion, Yao Feng's eyebrows were deeply knitted together.
In the morning, he received news that Wang Chong had found two Buddhist men to play with. Now, the news that Wang Chong was in the Eight Gods Pavilion was completely contradictory.
"That's right, gongzi. I saw it with my own eyes, there's no mistake!"
Gao Fei said respectfully. Fear could be seen on his face.
Hearing Gao Fei's words, Yao Feng's frown deepened.
"Wait a moment!"
Without any hesitation, Yao Feng suddenly stood up and turned around. A few steps later, he lifted the curtain and entered the room.
"Father, should we investigate this matter? Could there be something fishy about it?"
Yao Feng bowed and recounted the news to his father, waiting for his father's instructions. On this matter, his father was the most concerned about Wang Chong.
Yao Guang Yi frowned and fell silent.
"Don't act recklessly on this matter for the time being. I will be heading to the borders today to deal the final blow to the Wang Clan. Before this matter is settled, don't attract the attention of the Wang Clan. "
Yao Guang Yi buttoned up the last button on his collar and a scheming expression appeared on his face:
"However, you can pay close attention to this matter. Doesn't that lad want to borrow money? Just satisfy his request. "
"Yes, I understand."
Yao Feng lowered his head and replied. However, a hint of excitement could be seen in his eyes. He knew that his father was heading to the borders to deal a fatal blow to the Wang Clan.
After this matter, no one would remember the humiliation he had suffered in the Vast Crane Pavilion.
"Take this money pouch and pass it to Su Bai."
Walking out from the room, Yao Feng grabbed a heavy money pouch and threw it to Gao Fei.
"Yes, I'll do it now."
Gao Fei grabbed the money pouch on the table and left excitedly. After leaving the room, he mounted his horse and galloped away.
… …
In the Eight Gods Pavilion, Wang Chong was currently extremely busy. Every time he received a sum of money, he would write down a piece of data.
Money after money flew over from all directions, thus, Wang Chong's IOU couldn't stop being written. One tael, two taels, three taels … The money that was thrown over varied from a few taels to a dozen or twenty taels.
When everything was over and Wang Chong counted the money, he realized that there were more than two hundred gold taels.
Upon seeing this figure, even Wei Hao's expression changed.
Even though he came from a wealthy family and loved to gamble, his monthly allowance was only eleven to twelve taels. To think that Wang Chong actually borrowed more than two hundred gold taels from the Eight Gods Pavilion!
Even for Wei Hao, this was not a small amount. Looking at Wang Chong, who was writing by the side, Wei Hao was stunned speechless.
"It's still not enough!"
Wang Chong furrowed his brow in worry.
Even though two hundred gold taels was a huge sum to the scions in the capital, it wasn't enough for Wang Chong. The Hyderabad ores were extremely valuable and Wang Chong didn't expect to raise a sum of ninety thousand gold taels from the scions in the Eight Gods Pavilion.
Wang Chong only needed five to six hundred gold taels to hire someone to forge, forge, and inscribe a few basic WuZi Steel weapons for him. As long as he could forge a WuZi Steel weapon, Wang Chong would slowly accumulate enough money to purchase the three hundred jun of Hyderabad ores.
However, it was only two hundred gold taels now. This was far from Wang Chong's expectations.
