Chapter 159 A Good Deal to Make Money
"There is also ginseng, which is best for replenishing qi and nourishing blood. You need it right now, so why don't you eat one now?" As Campbell said this, he was about to take apart the ginseng that had been fixed.
Xiao Kang hurriedly shouted: "Put your hands down!"
With that pulling motion he made, the ginseng would definitely be torn apart.
She saw that the ginseng was quite large and estimated that it must be about thirty years old. She then looked at the pile of things next to it and saw that there were many precious things in it, even deer antlers.
"Brother, did you buy all these things?" Xiao Kang asked in disbelief.
She knew very well what the situation was at home. Where would she get the money to buy these things?
With a smug expression, Campbell raised his hand and touched his hair, and said confidently:
"Of course! Sister, I bought these for you. I also bought gifts for my brother-in-law and his family."
"This is for them. The one for my brother-in-law is a famous calligraphy and painting. When he comes back, let him see it. I'm sure he'll like it. This is a red gold filigree eight-treasure hairpin for my niece, and it also comes with a pair of jade bracelets. This is a She inkstone for Yue Qi. I'll bring it over for you to have a look."
Kang Baili first brought over the gift box of She inkstone. As soon as he opened the lid, Kang saw that the inkstone inside was carved with the auspicious meaning of "fish leaping over the dragon gate". He liked it very much immediately.
But after she saw these good things, she felt even more strange.
"Brother, tell me the truth, where did you get the money to buy these things? Did you spend mother's money?" Xiaokang was very worried.
If her brother earned the money by his own ability, she would naturally be happy, but if the money was squeezed out by their parents, she would think that these things must be returned and absolutely not kept.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? Mom doesn't have any money for me to pay out. Besides, she can't afford so much money." Campbell said with a smile.
He earned all this money himself, but at this point, in Campbell's eyes, this money was already small change.
"What about you?" Xiao Kang became even more worried. Could it be that her brother had done something murderous or robbing?
"Sister, I tell you the truth, I bought these things with my own money." Campbell was extremely proud. He received a dividend just yesterday, and in a few days, there will be new dividends. It was really a good deal with huge profits.
"What do you do to earn so much money?" Xiao Kang asked in disbelief.
Campbell looked around and saw that only Nanny Ji was in the room. He waved his hand and asked her to leave.
Xiaokang naturally waved her hand and asked her to go outside to guard.
After Aunt Ji left, Kang Boli lowered his voice and said, "Sister, I'm only telling you about this, don't tell anyone else."
"Oh! Just tell me quickly. Who can I talk to in this marquis's mansion?" Xiaokang urged impatiently.
Campbell looked around again, with a mysterious look on his face, and said in a low voice, "Lend us money at high interest!"
"What... um!" Xiao Kang just raised his voice when Campbell covered his mouth.
"Shh! Can you stop being so startled? What's the big deal?"
"Lending money at high interest is prohibited by the imperial court. How dare you do such a thing? Aren't you afraid of being caught? A few years ago, the eldest wife and the old lady also lent money at high interest. What happened in the end? They lost all their capital and had to sell a lot of shops before they could gamble away the money in the public treasury!" Xiao Kang was so anxious that she pushed his hand away and said angrily in a low voice.
"Sister, why are you so nervous? It's just a loan sharking. The court investigates this matter in waves, not every year. Now is the time to relax. If you don't take the opportunity to make money now, when will you take it?" Campbell said disdainfully.
"Besides, if you investigate secretly, you will find that many noble families are lending money at high interest rates, but your Chengping Marquisate is the only timid one. No wonder it gets worse every year. It is a law that the bold will die of overeating and the timid will die of starvation. Even if we want to investigate, we should start with those noble families." Campbell said quickly.
"That does make sense!" Xiaokang still looked worried.
"Sister, don't worry. The channel I found is very safe, and those people don't borrow for long. The longest is no more than three months. Most of them are short-term. I have only been busy for more than half a year, and I have already received this amount."
Campbell proudly gestured a number.
"Two, two thousand taels?" Xiao Kang asked anxiously.
Kang Baili rolled his eyes. "Twenty thousand! It's just the money from multiple dividends. I've invested another ten thousand taels in it now. When the dividends are paid in a few days, I estimate that I can get more than four thousand taels."
Xiaokang was completely shocked!
Earning twenty thousand taels of silver in just half a year, this is too much!
"Sister, if you have some spare money, you can use some to do this business. You can get dividends in just a few days, and the more you invest, the more you get." Campbell said casually.
In fact, he had selfish motives, because the more money he invested, the higher the dividend points he would get. If his sister could give him 10,000 taels, his dividend could be increased by another 10%.
Xiao Kang subconsciously said, "I have no money."
"Sister, I'm not asking you for money, so you don't have to answer so quickly. If you don't believe me, look, I have three thousand taels of silver notes on me. I promise you that after this period of time, when the situation gets tense from above, I will stop immediately." Campbell really took out three thousand taels of silver notes.
"This thousand taels is for you to use as pocket money. I will send you some more next time when I get dividends." Campbell said directly.
The money spent will soon come back.
It was rare for Xiaokang to see the return of money, so she was naturally happy and felt that her brother had finally become sensible. But she couldn't spend her brother's money, and she was afraid that the truth would be revealed, so she planned to wait and see!
"I accept your kindness, but you can take the money back and use it to buy more things for your family. Don't waste it."
When Campbell saw that she refused to accept it, he said:
"Well, let's put this in. These three thousand taels will be your investment. I'll come back to give you the silver in a few days. By the way, remember not to tell anyone else about this. Not many people know about it now. We just need to make money quietly."
"I know, but you have to be careful. This matter is still dangerous after all."
"Don't worry, there's no danger at all. I'll come back in a few days."
Campbell did not persuade Xiao Kang to take the money anymore. It didn't matter if she didn't believe it now. She would believe it herself once she got the real money.
Afterwards, he went to see old Mrs. Kang and presented her with all kinds of good things as usual. He only left the marquis's mansion after making old Mrs. Kang very happy.
Nanny Ji helped pack up the things sent by Campbell and kept praising them.
"They are all good things. They must have cost a lot of money. Mr. Kang still cares about you, his sister."
"Yes!" Xiaokang touched the inkstone and couldn't help but feel jealous.
Perhaps she should have agreed just now, and invested her own five thousand taels first, and then earned some money.
But let’s take a look first. I’ll come back in a few days anyway.
After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Campbell went directly to an inconspicuous mutton restaurant.
"Mr. Kang, you're here? Please come in." The waiter invited Kang Baili to go inside.
When Campbell arrived at the backyard, he saw a strong man with a beard tying up sheep. It seemed that the sheep were going to be slaughtered.
"Master Shi, Master Kang is here, please stop working." The young man said to the bearded man.
