Chapter 749: Long-term planning

Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and others just followed Wu Ren upstairs, and the people on the third floor knew about it.

They are here!

They are really here!

The guard came in to ask, "Governor, the chiefs Pei, Xue and Liu are here to see you, and Chief Wu is here to bring them up."

Lv Songli nodded and said, "Please bring them in."

After receiving the order, Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng and Liu Hongwen came in.

"Sit down." Lv Songli motioned them to sit down, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Pei Ruowang hesitated and said, "Governor, Pingzhou government office is short of money now, right?"

"Yeah." Lv Songli did not deny it, and it was useless to deny it. Everyone is smart. Pingzhou is going to issue public bonds. How can it not be short of money?

"Governor, you know that we are all the heads of the family here. Since you admit that Pingzhou is short of money, I, as a representative, want to talk to you about a large loan."

A large amount? Lu Songli raised her eyebrows and asked, "How much money can you take out?"

"How much does Pingzhou need?" Pei Ruowang asked back.

Lu Songli reported a number and asked, "How is it, can you take it out?"

Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and others looked at each other, "We can take it out by gathering the strength of several of our great families."

Lu Songli raised her eyebrows. They were so rich, aren't they afraid that she, the governor, would wave her sickle to harvest them?

Others present were very surprised. These families are indeed great families. They don't show off their wealth. They just took out such a large sum of money.

Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and others also smiled bitterly in their hearts. It was also difficult for them to take out such a large sum.

"Giving so much money to Pingzhou, aren't you afraid that Pingzhou can't pay it back?"

Pei Ruowang said in a deep voice, "I don't know about others, but we, the Pei family, have no doubt about Pingzhou's ability to repay." The task of honeycomb coal that Pingzhou entrusted to the Pei family is still being carried out in secret. Once such a thing comes out, will Pingzhou still be short of money?

"Pingzhou is in trouble, and we can help. We want to advance and retreat together with Pingzhou." Xue Yufeng and Liu Hongwen also expressed their opinions.

Among those present, Xue Xu raised his head and looked at these family leaders seriously.

Dong Jichuan's hand shaking the fan paused slightly.

Guo Chong, on the other hand, sneered.

Only Qin Sheng did not react. He lowered his head slightly and concentrated on peeling grapes for Lu Songli.

Pei Ruowang's words were very obscure, but everyone present was smart. Who doesn't know that the aristocratic families are investing money in Pingzhou now, and they must want to make a profit. And they also mentioned the words "advance and retreat together", that is, they are betting on the long-term benefits of Pingzhou after winning the bet.

These aristocratic families want to bind with the chariot of Pingzhou. Since it is bound, they must share the benefits after the victory!

Unique vision!

Great ambition!

Courageous enough!

Lu Songli said, "I know what you mean. Thank you for your appreciation."

"This is a contract. After you read it, if you really want to borrow it, we will talk about it again."

...

On the first floor, Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng and others each subscribed to a large amount of Pingzhou public bonds, including one-year, two-year and three-year bonds.

After Ji Wuyin and Gu Huaisheng subscribed, they did not leave, but found a corner to sit down and called the waiter to bring some food and drinks.

Ji Wuyin said, "Pei Ruowang and others went to the third floor?"

Gu Huaisheng hummed and said, "The governor should be on the third floor."

The governor's whereabouts were not secret to them.

"Did they go to negotiate with the governor?" Ji Wuyin said.

Gu Huaisheng said affirmatively, "It's obvious, but they won't get what they want."

Ji Wuyin nodded in agreement. What a smart person the governor is. Since he had expected it, he must have a corresponding response. They can't take advantage of it.

On the third floor, Pei Ruowang and others read the contract that Lv Songli prepared for them, and they all smiled bitterly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the gambling match that Dali, Pingzhou and Xianbei are about to hold in the Sanzhou Free Trade Zone is so big.

When the game is over and it is time to fulfill the promise, it is estimated that military deterrence will be needed. The three parties are very likely to start a war again.

As the saying goes, the food and grass must go before the troops move.

With Pingzhou's current reserves, it is not enough to deal with the next war with ease.

They all think that this is an opportunity to advance and retreat with Pingzhou, and then grow stronger, and they don't want to miss it.

Pingzhou is short of money and issues public bonds, and they can just buy them directly.

The reason why they want to discuss cooperation with Lv Songli is to take this opportunity to invest a large amount of money and occupy a certain equity of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. By doing so, they can bind Pingzhou more deeply and let the family go to the next level and take a step further.

Now Pei Ruowang and others found that their ideas were all expected by others, and they had taken corresponding precautions.

There is an important stipulation in this contract: You must allow us (Liaodong Chamber of Commerce) to repurchase at least 50% of your shares within ten years with an amount not exceeding ten times the amount of cash you invested, as a prerequisite for you to become our (Liaodong Chamber of Commerce).

Pei Ruowang and others read it, but they all took a breath in their hearts, and they looked at Lu Songli with admiration.

This is Lu Songli's defense.

Lu Songli drank tea calmly.

Pingzhou is short of money, so we can sell some shares to raise funds and solve the funding problem.

However, she knew that whenever she sold shares, she would have to think about buying back.

Pei Ruowang and the others looked at each other. Governor Lu Songli's ability to look ahead three steps ahead was beyond their reach.

As a result, they could not count the gains and losses of this step. However, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Now that things have come to this, they can only go ahead.

"Governor, we agree to this contract."

"Okay."

The reactions of these noble families were a bit strange. Could it be that there were some extraordinary contents written in the contract?

Xue Xu, Guo Chong and others were suddenly very curious about the contents of this contract, because except for the governor, no one knew what was written on this contract.

It was not until later that the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bought back the shares held by these noble families at ten times the price that everyone knew the inside story.

At that time, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce had grown very large by taking advantage of the opportunity of the founding of the country, and the noble families also made a lot of money by investing in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce before, and the dividends every year were particularly generous.

When everyone thought that these noble families would not agree to the repurchase request of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, these noble families unexpectedly accepted the deal.

Then, the noble families later revealed the hidden secrets, and everyone knew the governor's foresight.

Everyone's admiration for Lu Songli reached the extreme.

Pingzhou's success was definitely designed. Small successes rely on luck, and sustained big successes must rely on planning.

But this was after the founding of the country.

Later, the news that the major noble families in Pingzhou invested heavily in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce spread like wildfire.

All the investors who bought Pingzhou bonds on the first floor were shocked when they heard the news. My God, they made it so big?

They then wondered if they had invested too little? Should they buy more Pingzhou bonds?

Afterwards, Wu Ren reported to her the sales of Pingzhou bonds, especially the strong support from the Qin and Lu families, Gao Mei, Ji Wuyin, and Gu Huaisheng.

In response, Lu Songli said she knew.

There are many modes of relationships between people.

The Qin and Lu families' attitude towards her is loyalty and sharing weal and woe, and they are ready to fight for her at any time; Xue Xu, Xu Zheng and others have a mixture of feelings and interests towards Lu Songli, and the emotional component may be more. When it comes to other people, such as Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng, Guo Chong, Dong Jichuan and others, the interest component is a little more than the emotional component. Finally, the Pei family, Xue family and Liu family are basically pure interest relationships.

Lu Songli does not reject these types of interpersonal relationships. As long as the other party is not hostile to herself, they can become friends. It is impossible to achieve great things if you have a cleanliness obsession with morality.
