《The Tycoon》E9
Gu Pingyuan and Li Wanwan officially compete
At the auction site, the merchants kept raising their prices, but all of them were assassinated and died after bidding. Li Qin keenly discovered that it was Su Zixuan who killed these people.After some bidding, Gu Pingyuan finally won the Kang family's property. During the transaction, King Shen sent troops to kidnap all the eight old families away on the grounds of delaying state affairs.The Laoba family was imprisoned, and King Shen asked each of the Laoba family to pay three million taels of silver in compensation before they could be released.
Gu Pingyuan has already stated that he has taken over the Kang family's property and will share weal and woe with the eight families.At this time, Li Wantang came to visit Lao Ba's family in prison and said that if they could not pay the money, he could help pay for it, as long as they wrote an IOU.As soon as these words came out, everyone understood Li Wantang's intention to annex them and firmly disagreed.Gu Pingyuan thought about what happened before and after, and concluded that this was a series of schemes between King Shen and Li Wantang. King Shen's purpose was to break into the king's treasure, while Li Wantang wanted to embezzle the Lao Ba family.
Gu Pingyuan said that the IOU was money owed to King Shen, not to Li Wantang's Taiping, and that the court was now urging King Shen to go on an expedition. He must not be able to wait, so he could give him the IOUs from the eight families first and settle them within two months.Shopkeeper Sun was also worried that Li Wantang would cause trouble and make the IOU public, causing a run on the bank accounts and ruining his credit.Gu Pingyuan proposed that it was not necessary to ask for money. In the future, the eight families could adopt a method of mutual guarantee of credit, which was agreed by everyone.
