Chapter 937 Check

It is true that the Lu family is known as the No. 1 Imperial Merchant in the world, and it is true that it has a big backer, but it is not enough to run the world and do whatever it wants.

The worst thing is that Mr. Lu has already accepted the goods. Considering the cooperation for many years and the face of Ning Wangfu, the other party promised to live in the capital for half a month and wait for the payment.

Mr. Lu is eagerly waiting for his uncle and nephew to bring back the tight goods to realize it. Who knows it will be so!

It's never happened before, how could such a problem happen to the Lu family's cargo ship! How did it happen to happen on this trip!

"I think there is something strange about this matter, how could it be so coincidental! How could it be so coincidental? Check it, check it for me! Please help Ning Wangfu, check it for me!" Master Lu was so angry that his liver hurt.

Master Lu Er and Young Master Lu were shocked, and their expressions changed slightly, yes, why didn't they think of it? This is so coincidental.

"Don't worry, eldest brother, I will handle this in person. If you ask me to find out who is behind the good deeds, I will not forgive her!" Mr. Lu Er gritted his teeth.

The first person he wants to check is of course Xu Rongyue and Mingyuelou.

He secretly thought to himself that it was a pity, if Mingyuelou did not have the background of Princess Dingjun, maybe he could take this opportunity to take it down.

Unfortunately, Princess Dingjun and King Dingjun are not easy to mess with, so he didn't dare to mess around.

Mr. Lu sighed, it will definitely take a long time to find out the ins and outs of this matter, and customers outside customs can't wait that long.

You have to raise 300,000 taels of silver to give to others first.

300,000 taels is not a small amount.

The Lu family's plate was spread too wide, and it was splendid, everyone envied it, and he was the number one royal merchant in the world. He would never dare to lend money to anyone easily.

Not to mention whether he can borrow 300,000 taels, once the news spreads that his family can't even pay 300,000 silver, firstly, his Lu family can't afford to lose face, and secondly, he doesn't know what it will be. Woolen cloth.

At that time, it will definitely cause instability in people's hearts. First, it will affect the business of their own stores, and secondly, the cooperative merchants will be hesitant, and merchants will definitely come to ask for loans that are not due.

Thousands or tens of thousands of taels are not a big number. One or two families may be able to handle it if they come, but what if there are more than one or two families? Can you handle it?

The more Master Lu thought about it, the more his heart skipped a beat. If such a chain reaction continues, the Lu family will be doomed!

How dare those **** be so daring! The Lu family's things dare to move! If he wants to find out that someone is really making trouble behind his back, he will definitely smash people into pieces!

I can't borrow money. Recently, I have two sums that I can get back, but they add up to less than 100,000 taels. I also have other odds and ends of expenditures recently. After one in and one out, I can get about 50,000 taels left. , there is still 250,000 taels.

Thinking about it, Master Lu gritted his teeth and decided to take out 250,000 taels from the Lu family's bank and deal with the matter first.

Lujia Qianzhuang is the largest bank in the capital. A certain amount of running water on the book cannot be moved, but in addition to this, there is a reserve of 300,000 taels for emergencies.

In fact, normally, the reserve fund in the bank must be at least 500,000 taels, but the Lu family is rich, with huge financial resources and the backing of the Ning Palace, and everyone is willing to believe them, so it is enough to keep 300,000 taels.

Even so, the Lu family would misappropriate one or two from time to time, but they made up for it soon, and nothing happened.

At this time, Mr. Lu couldn't care about so much.

Customers outside the customs took 300,000 taels of silver and just left two days ago, and rumors spread in the capital from nowhere.

It is said that something happened to the Lu family! The cargo ship from Jiangnan to Beijing was destroyed, and the goods worth millions were burned to ashes. Now there is only an empty shell left in the Lu family, and all the money is lost! Therefore, you should hurry up to ask for the account, and slow down if there is no supply.

This news spread with nose and eyes, and people couldn't help but believe it.

The Lu family is out of humour, and they are looking everywhere to find out who is spreading the rumors!

not only did not check, but all kinds of information were passed on in more detail.

Some people couldn't sit still, so a group of three or five people went to the shopkeeper of the Lu family to complain politely. It was a small business and urgently needed money. Please be pitiful for the Lu family. .

In the past, if someone like this dared to go to the Lu family to ask for money, the shopkeeper of the Lu family would have coldly ordered the account to settle the arrears immediately, and would never want to cooperate with the Lu family again in the future!

The Lu family in the past had this confidence, but now, some are just empty.

The debts of this group of people add up to not much, just over 20,000 taels. The shopkeeper of the Lu family gritted his teeth, settled the money, and ordered people to drive them away without any hesitation. He would never think of cooperating with the Lu family in the future.

Although these people were a little regretful and annoyed, they still took the money and left, and none of them said they would return the money to beg for continued cooperation in the future.

Originally thought that if others saw it, they would definitely not come again, but no, Mei Yunxuan had an accident again.

Those customers who have placed large orders have all sent people to rush the goods one after another. They want a huge amount. Mei Yunxuan used to have the Lu family as a backer, and they are doing business at a loss. Now the Lu family can't take it. When the money comes, what will Mei Yunxuan pay?

I don’t have money to buy raw materials, how to produce?

The amount involved in these orders has reached nearly 50,000 taels of silver. The Lu family is now too busy to take care of themselves. How can they care about Mei Yunxuan?

So, the rumors spread even more!

More people could not sit still, and they rushed to the Lu family to ask for the remaining money.

The supplier also tried every means to complain about the delay and refused to continue supplying.

The Lu family was so devastated that they could hardly cover it.

At this time, the most fatal blow came, and there was a run on the bank!

Countless customers who had deposited money in Lujia Qianzhuang flocked to ask to withdraw their money. Where does the Lu family still have money to pay?

In an instant, nothing can be covered, such as the collapse of the long embankment, falling apart!

Overnight, almost all the shops of the Lu family were closed, and the gold, silver, jade, porcelain and various treasures in the warehouse were carried out to pay off debts. Other courtyards, fertile fields, and even shops had to be sold.

After paying all the creditors, the Lu family's vitality was greatly damaged, not to mention that it was empty, and at least 60% of its huge wealth was gone.

In addition, the reputation has been seriously damaged, the supply chain is broken, and the flow of funds is insufficient. Each store can't open its doors at all. If you want to start the business again, you don't know how much money you need to invest in it as start-up capital to repair the entire supply chain. completely.

Lu's house was filled with gloom and mist.

Prince Ning's mansion was also half-hearted, but on the bright side, Prince Ning's mansion couldn't do anything, and Prince Ning's mansion could secretly support the Lu family in matters of the shopping mall, but it was impossible to end in person.
