Chapter 712: Ministry of Commerce

When Qiao Xuan arrived, Zhang Yu had already been waiting there for a long time.

Zhang Yu's complexion was not good, and he sat there thinking about how to deal with Qiao Xuan.

When Qiao Xuan came over and saw Zhang Yu's expression, he was also very disturbed.

Seeing Qiao Xuan's stiff look, Zhang Yu sighed and said, "Sit down."

Qiao Xuan sat down tremblingly.

"Tell me, what's going on."

If he wanted to deal with Qiao Xuan, he had to know what was going on.

Qiao Xuan told the whole story.

It turned out that Qiao Xuan first cooperated with them in business, and secondly asked them to borrow money to expand the business.

However, Qiao Xuan's luck was not good, and there were serious problems in all three investments, which resulted in the money not being collected and unable to repay.

After hearing Zhang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, this Qiao Xuan is not cheating, he is not relying on his own identity to do something, if he only owes money to others, then it will be easy.

Qiao Xuan was optimistic about the opportunity and invested three times. The first one was to go to the grassland to buy a large amount of fur goods and prepare to transport them to the south to make a fortune.

This was not a problem in the first place, and those who invested together also understood that there were great benefits in it, so they invested with Qiao Xuan.

This was not a problem at first, but this winter, the snow was too heavy. When they came back from the grassland, they encountered a snowstorm. A large number of horses they transported died, many fur goods were thrown on the grassland, and many people died.

Now that the snow hasn't melted, the things are still buried in the grassland. When the ice and snow melt, I don't know if they can be found back. Even if they are found, it will be a heavy loss.

This investment is a big loss.

For the second investment, Qiao Xuan organized a lot of people to mine in western Fujian, where there are many gold and silver mines.

It started smoothly, but then there was an accident, many people died, and the government sealed up the mine.

The initial investment was huge, many people died, and the mine was closed. This is a real loss.

The third investment is also large,

Qiao Xuan organized two large boats and a dozen small boats to go to sea.

This Zhang Yu had issued a policy earlier to encourage the common people to explore.

If you discover new islands or continents, you can choose to develop them yourself, and you can develop them for 30 years, but the resources you develop must be sold to Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu and the others can only sell them if they don’t want them.

You can also report to Zhang Yu and the others, and then get a huge reward.

Qiao Xuan just took a fancy to the massive overseas resources, and then organized people to explore.

It was too risky, so he pulled a group of people to invest together.

Investing is risky, and they actually encountered risk, and they disappeared.

There has been no news for eight months. Originally, they expected to come back within half a year, but eight months later there is still no news.

For these three investments, Qiao Xuan and the others only thought that going out to sea was risky, and the other two investments were fine.

As a result, Qiao Xuan had bad luck and had an accident.

What made Zhang Yu feel relieved was that even though Qiao Xuan was in such a miserable situation and so many people had died, he still followed the regulations and paid compensation from family to family, which was enough.

There is nothing anyone can do about the accidental death, the key is to pay full compensation after death.

Qiao Xuanhui was almost bankrupt because there were hundreds of people who went to sea, and the compensation was not small.

This is not any other place where human life is as cheap as a dog, this is Jiangdong, where even one death requires a lot of compensation.

After Qiao Xuan finished speaking, Zhang Yu asked him to rest somewhere aside. He couldn't just believe what Qiao Xuan said.

After a while, Guo Jia came over with a stack of documents in his hand.

According to the information, Qiao Xuan did not do anything illegal, it can only be said that his luck was too bad.

All three big investments had big problems.

"Feng Xiao, what should we do?" Zhang Yu said with a headache.

Guo Jiaqian laughed twice and said, "My lord, this is your family business."

It is indeed a family matter, so those aristocratic families also understand the reason, and have not yet brought trouble to the government.

Zhang Yu also had a headache, Qiao Xuan obviously couldn't do it, firstly, he didn't break the law, and secondly, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were his fiancées.

But Zhang Yu didn't want to deal with it. Although it was a family matter, if Qiao Xuan couldn't be protected regardless of it, then this matter would freeze here.

"My current seat, do you think there are still simple family matters?" Zhang Yu said again.

Guo Jia gave Zhang Yu a white look. Although what he said was reasonable, Zhang Yu's seat and family affairs were also "state affairs". The problem was that Guo Jia really didn't want to get involved.

But since Zhang Yu said so, it would be impossible not to give him advice.

"My lord, you have so many properties, many of which are your private property. If you want to help your father-in-law, there are not many ways. Why make things difficult for your subordinates."

Although Guo Jia said so, he actually provided advice to Zhang Yu, asking Zhang Yu to use his private property to repay Qiao Xuan's debt.

The money was a lot, more than 80 million, which was huge, but Zhang Yu could afford it.

"You go down first."

Zhang Yu asked Guo Jia to go down, and kept quiet in the room by himself.

If you really want to help Qiao Xuan pay back this money, it should be considered as a dowry gift for Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

It's just that this is too much, Zhang Yu is not a wife, and it will be very troublesome for others to follow suit.

"Let's focus on the matter at hand first."

Zhang Yu couldn't care about things in the long run, so he had to focus on the present first.

Zhang Yu made a decision, so he called Qiao Xuan over.

"Mr. Qiao, tomorrow I will send someone to the mansion to renew the dowry, and choose another day to marry Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao."

Qiao Xuan was overjoyed when he heard that, Zhang Yu just wanted to help him out.

If it wasn't for Zhang Yu, I would have absolutely no way to solve it. With more than 80 million yuan, I have already lost all my net worth, so how can I have so much money.

Zhang Yu had already given betrothal gifts to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao before, if there hadn't been a sudden war, they might have married them by now.

But this time, Zhang Yu gave the dowry again, clearly telling everyone that Zhang Yu wanted to help Qiao Xuan.

As soon as Qiao Xuan left, Zhang Yu found someone to handle the matter.

"Go prepare fifty-six million bank bills and send them to the Qiao Mansion tomorrow." Zhang Yu said to his personal guard.

Why is it more than 50 million, not more than 80 million? Zhang Yu learned from Guo Jia and Qiao Xuan that almost 30 million of them were invested by other businessmen.

If you invest in a joint venture to do business, and now you are losing money, of course you have to lose money together, how can it be counted on Qiao Xuan.

As for borrowing from other people, there is nothing to say, even the interest will be repaid, which is a matter of course.

Those who lose money through cooperation should take risks together, which is the same everywhere.

Zhang Yu was distressed enough that one-tenth of the money he brought back was gone.

However, if the snow melts, the goods from the grassland can be found, and part of the loss can be recovered. As for the mines in western Fujian, Zhang Yu directly let people take over.

"Is the investment of merchants in Jiangdong really that big now? It's time to set up a special organization to manage and guide business development, but in ancient times, it was easy to overcorrect."

Zhang Yu suddenly felt that it was necessary to manage and interfere with these things, lest something like Qiao Xuan happen again.

"Well, the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce is directly responsible to me, and the system can be gradually improved."
