"Exactly." Gao Ju explained Wen Desi's conditions in detail, "After they withdraw from Shenghe, other conditions can be negotiated slowly in Haojing'ao."

Li Fengjie pondered for a long time with a wooden face: "Do Australians keep their word?"

"Australians built their country on business, and integrity is fundamental."

"But as the old saying goes, there is no businessman without treachery." Li Fengjie murmured, seeming to have forgotten that the tall official opposite was a "businessman."

Gao Zhang sneered secretly. Li Fengjie was already at the end of his rope, and he still had to show off that he was calm and confident. As expected, all officials have a very thick skin.

There was no way to do it, but with his high status, no matter what advice he gave to Li Fengjie, it would be bad, and it might even endanger his own interests. He thought about it again and again, and decided not to say anything for the time being, and simply left and went home.

Of course, Li Fengjie couldn't think of any clever ideas. The number of three hundred thousand taels weighed heavily on his heart. If he was given money, he couldn't get it; if he didn't give money, this group of greedy Australians would never retreat - they were here

Si Xiang extorted countless amounts of food and property, and they can stay here as long as they want.

He summoned several of his close associates to discuss how to deal with it. Some said that the Kun thief was just a false threat and would never seriously attack Guangzhou; some said that it would be better not to respond for the time being and wait to see the Kun thief's reaction.

Besides, some people suggested asking high-ranking officials to counter-offer and see if they could get a discount; others suggested following the old rules and letting the big players take out the money.

He Chengzong never spoke: Three hundred thousand taels was nothing in Guangzhou city in the past. It was not difficult to raise money as long as the big businessmen in the city gathered together and told them about the crisis they were facing. But it is different now.

Internally, I have squeezed the big households several times, and it is already difficult to force them to take out the money - these big households are not small businessmen with meager capital. Most of them are high-ranking officials at the provincial level and have big barriers in the north and south Beijing.

It's impossible to make them anxious even if you really want to make them anxious.

After a while, he said: "With the current plan, it will be very difficult to ask the big investors. The only way is to borrow it!"

"borrow?"

"Yes." He Chengzong nodded and said, "Not to mention 300,000 taels in the city, there are also three million taels. Now we will gather the big families to know their interests first, and then let each family borrow money from the government. The government will do it.

Guarantee, and give some interest as appropriate - this is something that is good for both public and private interests, and the big investors will definitely be happy."
