Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 158: Chain Set

Bai Xun, who was on his way to Baijiazhai, took a detour to Jincheng.

Sheng Yu'an had long expected that the second son of the Bai family would come to see him, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.

His elder and second brothers knew that Marshal Li and the Bai family were at odds, yet they still intended to cooperate with Marshal Li. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Bai family?

Being pressed step by step, the Bai family naturally had to find a way out.

And this way out is probably for him to compete with his elder and second brothers.

The checks and balances tactic is effective and safe.

"Old Xing, please invite Young Master Bai in." Sheng Yu'an said.

After a while, Bai Xun came in with Butler Xing.

When Sheng Yu'an saw that he was alone, he asked, "Why didn't Nanchun come with you?"

Bai Xun replied, "I'm going back to Baijiazhai this time. It's rare for him to come out, so he wants to stay in Yangcheng for a while longer."

"That's good. Chunxiao has already gone to Yangcheng. They can keep each other company." Sheng Yu'an said, "Come, sit down and try my new black tea."

Bai Xun took a sip and the tea was filled with fragrance and had a long aftertaste.

"Good tea."

"You came to see me specially this time, not just to chat with me, right?" Sheng Yu'an asked directly.

"Fourth Master, I'm sure you've heard that the Sheng family's eldest and second masters are interested in cooperating with Marshal Li."

"Yeah, I've heard a little about it." Sheng Yu'an nodded.

Bai Xun looked at him and continued, "Master and Master have now gained the support of Chairman Jiang and the merchants behind him. Master and Master are not short of money now.

If we cooperate with Marshal Li, we will have more soldiers and weapons. It will be even more difficult for you, the Fourth Master, to compete with him."

Little boy, are you trying to encourage me to be the first to help your Bai family?

Sheng Yu'an laughed heartily and said, "The old man is not dead yet. He's going to celebrate his 70th birthday in a few days. My eldest and second brothers have money, soldiers and weapons. The Sheng family is getting better and better. I'm happy for them."

Seeing that he wasn't buying it, Bai Xun said, "I heard that Chairman Jiang's son, Jiang Wenjie, came to Jincheng some time ago and met the head of the Zhou family."

Sheng Yu'an nodded: "Yes, that's right, you are quite well-informed. It was when Nanchun was in Jincheng."

"Master Sheng has raised the purchase price of raw silk and bought all the raw silk in He'an County. All the merchants under Chairman Jiang have made a lot of money. I guess the bank of the head of the Zhou family has also become much richer recently?" Bai Xun took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"President Jiang is a man of loyalty and righteousness. Even when he was cooperating with my eldest and second brothers, he did not break the contract and sever the cooperative relationship with the Zhou family." Sheng Yu'an said with satisfaction.

"The Fourth Master is in Jincheng and may not know about an interesting thing that happened in Yangcheng these two days." Bai Xun said.

"What's the fun?"

"The century-old Fuyuanji is about to collapse." Bai Xun curled the corners of his lips.

"Fuyuanji? But is it the Sun family's?" Sheng Yu'an asked in surprise.

"Yes, I heard that Boss Sun recently borrowed a large sum of money from Zhou's Bank. According to the rules of Zhou's Bank, they shouldn't have lent him that much. But Boss Sun was wealthy and confident, and he paid Zhou's Bank a very high interest rate.

"You said, if Fuyuanji goes bankrupt, the money will be wasted. When Chairman Jiang and his merchants learn that Zhou's Bank has such a huge deficit, will they rush to Zhou's Bank to withdraw their certificates of deposit?" Bai Xun said casually.

Sheng Yuan frowned slightly.

He knew that Chairman Jiang's son Jiang Wenjie had come to Jincheng.

At the time, the Zhou family's head excitedly told him that Chairman Jiang was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, and that he had brought his men to deposit a considerable amount of money in his bank. Chairman Jiang's son had come to Jincheng to negotiate interest rates with him, hoping to maintain their partnership and offer a higher interest rate than before.

However, he didn't know about Fuyuanji's loan yet.

But although Fuyuanji is not as good as before, it is still a century-old brand. How could it suddenly go bankrupt?

Seeing Sheng Yu'an's suspicious expression, Bai Xun said, "There's been a lot of talk in Yangcheng these past few days. Fuyuanji was doing business with Marshal Li, but fell into his trap. The raw silk in the warehouse was destroyed, and all the raw silk on the market was taken away by Master Sheng.

The delivery date is just a few days away. Without raw silk, we can't produce the goods ordered by Marshal Li. By then, Fuyuanji will belong to Marshal Li. Isn't Marshal Li so active just to cooperate with the Sheng family's eldest and second masters? He is determined to win and is sincere!

You said, if Fuyuanji becomes a great gift from Marshal Li to the Sheng family, will the Zhou family be able to snatch the money from Marshal Li and the first and second masters? If the fourth master does not believe what the younger generation says, he can go and ask around, or he can ask the Zhou family patriarch directly.

Sheng Yu'an's face darkened. Since Bai Xun said so, this matter should not be false.

This is a chain trap!

If the plan succeeded, the eldest and second brothers would have taken away the Sun family's property, locked up the Zhou family bank, taken away his money, suppressed the Bai family, and gained the support of Marshal Li.

What a beautiful abacus!

"Fourth Master, I don't mean to encourage you to be the first to speak out for the Bai family. I really want to cooperate with you. After all, we are both being pressed step by step by those two. Only cooperation can lead to a win-win situation." Bai Xun said.

"Then how do you solve this dilemma?" Sheng Yu'an asked.

"My brother has already offered help to Fuyuanji. As long as you agree to deepen cooperation with the Bai family, Fuyuanji will not collapse. Public opinion is rife in Yangcheng, and Marshal Li is so rampant relying on the soldiers and weapons in his hands. What if he gets financial and material support from the eldest and second masters of the Sheng family? Who do you think will be the next Fuyuanji?" Bai Xun said lightly.

No one wants to be the next Fu Yuan Ji!

If you don't want to be like the meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered at will, you can't let this cooperation be achieved.

Bai Xun saw Sheng Yu'an's expression change slightly, and continued, "Even if Fuyuanji goes bankrupt, our Bai family can make up for the deficit of Zhou's bank. Moreover, I can also persuade the Jiang family not to run a run on the Zhou family's deposits."

Seeing his confidence, Sheng Yu'an asked, "How do you want to deepen our cooperation?"

"I will personally fund and cooperate with you on the power plant that I mentioned earlier."

Sheng Yu'an was slightly startled, then burst into laughter: "I do want to build a power plant. But the coal is controlled by my eldest brother. Even if I don't build the power plant, I absolutely cannot let the power plant become his weakness to control me!"

"Building it yourself will definitely be a weakness. But with me, the future head of the Bai family, it will be different. I will talk to Mr. Sheng and guarantee that there will be no worries." Bai Xun said with a smile.

"Okay! Since the future head of the Bai family said so, I will naturally believe you." Sheng Yu'an picked up the teacup and clinked it with Bai Xun.
