Chapter 203 Counterattack from Li Shimin (5)

Although Li Shimin didn't get the 1000 million taels of silver for free this time, he consciously took out 700 million taels of silver from Chu Mo, and he was very happy in his heart.

Although the money required collateral, Li Shimin didn't think it mattered at all.

He transferred more than a dozen imperial villages around Chang'an to Chu Mo.

The drought in Guanzhong is now serious. Not only do those imperial villages have no output, they even have to support the villagers. Li Shimin feels that it is a bit useless.

It would be better to give Chu Mo money in exchange for the time being.

Although during the valuation, the shopkeepers tried their best to lower the price, but to Li Shimin, who had the whole world, what did a little bit of Susukada mean?

However, what he didn't know was that by setting this precedent, he would learn a painful lesson for himself in the future.

After Li Shimin borrowed the 1000 million taels of silver, he felt that Chu Mo would not be hurt.

So, he made a plan with several family heads.

As a result, the next day, the whole city of Chang'an started to borrow money.

Those families who owned land, encouraged by caring people, went to Datang Bank for mortgage loans.

And Chu Mo also refused to accept anyone who came, and always borrowed money according to the interest rate of 9 out and 11 in.

Although the interest rate is a bit high, it is relatively conscientious compared to those loan sharks outside.

Moreover, those who borrow money at high interest rates cannot get rid of them once they get involved.

The people of Chang'an City believed that the bank that even His Majesty posted an imperial list for lending must have a guaranteed reputation.

Li Shimin didn't know the method he originally used to force Chu Mo, but instead gave Chu Mo a wave of publicity.

Li Shimin not only encouraged people to borrow money from banks.

Chu Mo also gave the green light to the banks he opened everywhere.

Immediately after the banks were opened, a large number of people with various house deeds and land deeds came to borrow money without waiting for the savers to deposit their money.

Not to mention, in the past, all the wealthy families in Chang'an City who had deposited their money in banks came to exchange their money with their banknotes and wanted to exchange their usage rights.

When Chu Mo heard the news from below, his scalp suddenly went numb.

However, he soon figured out that, apart from Li Shimin, the only people with such great abilities were people from the fifth surname and Qi Wang.

And those people are all shareholders of the bank now. It's okay if they don't help, but they dare to hold back.

While Chu Mo asked the shopkeeper of the bank to exchange banknotes for those people, he notified Li Shimin and several family owners to convene a shareholders' meeting.

However, after urging him several times in a row, everyone said that something was wrong and he couldn't come, leaving Chu Mo to make the decision on his own.

Chu Mo was not polite and directly sent a notice to each of them, asking them to come over for a meeting, otherwise they would be kicked out of the bank.

While the two parties were fighting to the death, Chu Xin quietly sent people back to Luoyang and started to open a bank.

When Li Shimin and others received the notice from Chu Mo, they all showed a proud smile: "Your Majesty, I see that Chu Mo is so anxious to see us, he probably can't bear it anymore."

Cui Zheng, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, said with a proud face.

Li Shimin nodded slightly: "Yes, Chu Mo's son, with his little wealth, I guess he should be struggling by now."

"However, we can't take it lightly now. That guy is full of tricks. He asked us to come over this time, and he's not holding back his mischief at all."

"Your Majesty, Chu Mo actually has only two options now. One is to sell the shares he currently owns and then ask us for help."

"The other option is that he will simply close the bank and stop playing with us. As for his previous investment, he will probably give up."

Cui Yingying said on the side.

After hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head and said: "According to Chu Mo's character, it is estimated that the possibility of both the jade and the stone is not high."

"He is probably dragging us to lose money together, or forcing us to continue to pay."

"If we don't want to continue investing then, he will probably threaten us with dilution of our shares."

"Then Your Majesty, how should we deal with it then?"

Cui Yingying continued to ask questions.

Li Shimin smiled slightly and did not answer her question. Instead, he said to several family heads: "What we have to do now is to wait for Chu Mo's bank to close down and open a bank of our own."

No one was surprised at Li Shimin's words. They had already discussed this issue before.

Immediately, several people joined hands and headed towards Shiweitian.

When Chu Mo saw a group of people walking in together, he immediately understood.

These guys should have already discussed it and are now here to negotiate terms.

So, without any ink, Chu Mo directly handed the account book in his hand to Li Shimin and said: "This is the bank's incoming and outgoing account in the past few days. Now, the bank has a serious deficit."

"I advanced another 1000 million taels myself, so you have to replenish me with another 300 million taels."

Li Shimin did not look at the accounts, but smiled and said to Chu Mo: "Xiao Chu, it's not that we don't help, there is really nothing we can do."

"Think about it, how much money we invested in the bank in total, but now we haven't earned a penny, but we have invested millions more taels in it."

"With such expenses, even if my family has a lot of money, they still can't afford it."

"Then what do you mean?"

Chu Mo glanced at Li Shimin and asked.

Li Shimin raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a hehe voice: "Xiao Chu, we already discussed this when we came here just now."

"This bank is a bottomless pit. Whoever makes it will regret it. So, we discussed it and decided to quit."

Chu Mo had already anticipated these people's plans and had no intention of trying to persuade them to stay. He immediately took out the contract he had signed before and said:

"Before, we had an agreement. If you quit midway or the funds cannot keep up, you must compensate me for my losses and all the shares will belong to me. Are you ready now?"

When they heard this, they all looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin slapped his thigh, how could he forget this.

When the agreement was signed, everyone rushed to sign it and didn't watch it carefully. But now, it was better. At the last moment, Chu Mo even cheated him.

But since he had made up his mind to launch the Xuanwu Gate Revolution, how could he care about this mere few million taels of silver.

What's more, he feels that the current money bank cannot be solved with millions of taels of silver. If he doesn't get out as soon as possible, he may be implicated by Chu Mo until nothing is left.

So, he said directly: "I don't care about other people, I want to quit anyway, even if I lose money, I have to quit."

After saying that, he looked at the other family heads, waiting for their answers.
