Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and others had just followed Wu Ren upstairs when the people on the third floor knew about it.

They are coming! They are really coming! The guards come in to ask for instructions.

"Governor, Chief Pei, Chief Xue, Chief Liu and others want to see you. Chief Wu brought them up." Lu Songli nodded.

"Please invite them in." After receiving the order, Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and others came in.

"Please sit down." Lu Songli motioned for them to sit down.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Pei Ruowang asked hesitantly.

"Governor, the Pingzhou government office is short of money right now, right?"

"Yeah." Lu Songli did not deny it. It was useless to deny it. We were all smart people. Pingzhou was about to issue public bonds. How could it not be short of money?

"Governor, you know that all of us here are heads of aristocratic families. Since you have admitted that Pingzhou is short of money, I, as your representative, would like to talk to you about a large loan." Large sum?

Lu Songli raised her eyebrows and asked,

"How much money can you afford?"

"How much does Pingzhou need?" Pei Ruowang asked. Lu Songli reported a number and asked,

"How about it, can you take it out?" Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and others looked at each other.

"We can gather the strength of several major families and give it to them." Lu Songli raised her eyebrows. They showed off their wealth so much. Aren't they afraid that she, as the governor, would wield a sickle to harvest them?

Everyone else present was very surprised. These noble families were worthy of being noble families. They were very modest and could take out such a large sum of money as soon as they said so.

Pei Ruowang, Xue Yufeng, Liu Hongwen and others also smiled bitterly in their hearts. It was difficult for them to take out such a large sum of money.

"Giving Pingzhou so much money, aren't you afraid that Pingzhou won't be able to pay it back?" Pei Ruowang said in a deep voice.

"I don't know about others, but we, the Pei family, have no doubt about Pingzhou's ability to repay." The task of honeycomb coal that Pingzhou assigned to the Pei family is still being carried out in secret. Once such a thing comes out, will Pingzhou still be short of money?

"Pingzhou is in trouble, and we happen to be able to help. We want to stand together with Pingzhou." Xue Yufeng and Liu Hongwen also expressed their opinions.

Xue Xu looked up at the people present and took a serious look at the heads of these aristocratic families. Dong Jichuan's hand, which was waving the fan, paused slightly.

Guo Chong, on the other hand, sneered. Only Qin Sheng did not react at all, with his head slightly lowered, concentrating on peeling grapes for Lu Songli.

Pei Ruowang's words were very obscure, but everyone present was smart. Everyone knew that the noble families were investing money in Pingzhou, and they must be looking to make a profit.

Moreover, they also mentioned the words "advance and retreat together", that is to say, they are betting on the long-term benefits that Pingzhou will gain after winning the bet.

These noble families want to be bound to the chariot of Pingzhou. If they are bound, they must share the benefits after victory!

Unique vision! Great ambition! And courage! Lu Songli said,

"I know what you mean, thank you for your appreciation."

"This is a contract. After you have read it, if you still really want to borrow it, we can talk about it again."... On the first floor, Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng and others each subscribed to a large amount of Pingzhou public bonds, including one-year, two-year and three-year bonds.

After Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng and others finished subscribing, they did not leave. Instead, they found a corner and sat down, calling the waiter to bring some food and drinks.

Ji Wuyin Road,

"Pei Ruowang and the others went up to the third floor?" Gu Huaisheng hummed and said,

"The governor should be on the third floor." The governor's whereabouts were not secret to them.

"They went to negotiate with the governor?" Ji Wuyin asked. Gu Huaisheng said affirmatively,

"It's obvious, but they won't get what they want." Ji Wuyin nodded in agreement. The governor is such a smart man.

Since they had expected this, they must have had corresponding responses, and they would not be able to take advantage. On the third floor, Pei Ruowang and the others read the contract that Lu Songli had prepared for them, and they all smiled bitterly.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the stakes are high in the upcoming football betting match between Dali, Pingzhou and Xianbei in the Three States Free Trade Zone.

When the tournament is over and it’s time to fulfill the promise, military deterrence will probably be needed. The three parties are very likely to start a war again.

As the saying goes, food and fodder must be sent before troops move. Pingzhou's current reserves are not enough to cope with the next war with ease.

They all felt that this was an opportunity to advance and retreat together with Pingzhou, and then grow stronger, and they did not want to miss it.

Pingzhou was short of money and issued public bonds, so they could just buy them directly. The reason why they wanted to discuss cooperation with Lu Songli was that they wanted to take this opportunity to invest a large amount of money and occupy a certain amount of equity in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

This will allow the family to be more deeply bound to Pingzhou and take the family to the next level. Now Pei Ruowang and others found that their ideas were all within the expectations of others, and they had taken corresponding precautions.

There is an important stipulation in this contract: you must allow us (Liaodong Chamber of Commerce) to repurchase at least 50% of your shares within ten years with an amount not exceeding ten times the cash you invested, as a necessary condition for you to become our (Liaodong Chamber of Commerce).

After reading it, Pei Ruowang and the others showed no expression, but they all took a breath in their hearts. They looked at Lu Songli with admiration in their eyes.

This is the defense that Lu Songli made. Lu Songli drank tea calmly. I am short of money in Pingzhou, so I can sell some of my shares to raise funds and solve the funding problem.

However, she knew that whenever she sold shares, she would have to think about buying them back. Pei Ruowang and the others looked at each other. Governor Lu Songli's ability to think ahead was beyond their reach.

As a result, they had to take this step, and the gains and losses were hard to measure. However, the arrow had been shot and there was no turning back. Now that things had come to this, they had no choice but to go ahead.

"Governor, we agree to this contract."

"Okay." The reactions of these noble families were a bit strange. Could it be that there was some extraordinary content written in the contract?

Xue Xu, Guo Chong and others were suddenly very curious about the content of this contract, because except for the governor, no one knew what was written on the contract.

It was not until later, when the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce bought back the shares from these families at ten times the price, that everyone knew the inside story.

At that time, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce had grown very large by taking advantage of the opportunity of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The aristocratic families also made a lot of money from their previous investments in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, and the dividends every year were particularly generous.

When everyone thought that these aristocratic families would not agree to the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce's repurchase request, these families unexpectedly accepted the deal.

Then, the noble families revealed the hidden truth, and everyone knew the governor's foresight.

Everyone's admiration for Lu Songli reached its peak. Pingzhou's success was definitely designed.

Small successes rely on luck, while sustained big successes must rely on planning. But this was after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Later, the news that the major families in Pingzhou had invested huge sums of money in the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce spread like wildfire. All the investors on the first floor who had purchased Pingzhou bonds were shocked when they heard the news. My god, they are doing such a big thing?

They then wondered if they had invested too little. Should they buy more Pingzhou bonds? Afterwards, Wu Ren reported to her the sales of Pingzhou bonds, especially the strong support from the Qin and Lu families, Gao Mei, Ji Wuyin, and Gu Huaisheng.

In response, Lv Songli said she knew. There are many modes of interpersonal relationships. The Qin and Lv families' attitude towards her is loyalty and they are ready to fight for her at any time; Xue Xu, Xu Zheng and others have a mixture of feelings and interests towards Lv Songli, and the emotional component may be more.

When it comes to other people, such as Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng, Guo Chong, Dong Jichuan and others, the element of interest is greater than the element of emotion.

Finally, the Pei family, Xue family, and Liu family are basically pure interest relationships. Lu Songli does not reject these types of interpersonal relationships. As long as the other party has no hostility towards her, she can become friends.

It is impossible to achieve great things if you are morally obsessed with purity.
