The lent funds totaled five hundred billion, which, frankly, was not their highest lending capacity. Each bank had retained a portion, and despite it being autumn, with only a few months left in the year, they couldn't possibly lend out all their money.
What if they encountered other enterprises in difficulty?
This was also the reason they agreed to the matter. Ultimately, for banks, lending money to anyone was still lending; they would earn interest regardless. And five hundred billion in loan capital, even calculated at the lowest interest rate, would yield several million daily. At a moderate interest rate, it would be around five million!
Calculated over a month, that amounted to 150 million, let alone earning so much in just one month.
No matter how they calculated it, the banks couldn't lose.
Moreover, with the Murong family involved, they were even more at ease. The Murong family of the capital and the Murong family of Jinling, combined, far exceeded five hundred billion!
"Since that's the case, thank you all. I hope you can keep today's matter confidential."
Ye Longlin spoke slowly, a smile appearing on his face.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Ye. We will definitely keep it confidential and will not leak any information."
The bank presidents present began to pledge.
Following that, Ye Longlin and Mu Ye left the conference room together.
"Are you going to Baichuan Group, or...?" Mu Ye asked.
Since they were all still in Chang'an, the company was naturally the priority.
"I'm going to see someone, then return to the capital to invite someone over." Ye Longlin paused and then chuckled, "With this person here, it will be difficult for us to lose this business war."
Mu Ye was slightly taken aback, then nodded gently. He didn't ask who Ye Longlin was going to invite, nor did he say much more.
Everyone had their own circle.
After Xuan Niao drove the car to the entrance, Ye Longlin got in and left.
...
In a small courtyard somewhere in Chang'an.
A woman in a Hanfu, sitting in a wheelchair, glared irritably at a tourist map of Chang'an.
"Miss, you've been sitting here for two days," the housekeeper said helplessly. Ever since they arrived, Qin Shiyin had been sitting by the door, holding a tourist map of Chang'an.
"This Ye Longlin, he told me to come and wait here, but I want to go out and have fun! Look, there are so many fun places in Chang'an! Besides, no one knows me in Chang'an. What's wrong with me going out to play for a couple of days?"
Qin Shiyin was now like a child. After all, for a canary in a cage, the world outside the cage was infinitely longed for. Now that she was out, she naturally wanted to play.
As a result, Ye Longlin had left her waiting here for two days, not saying anything about the matter, not even giving her any news, which made her very angry.
The housekeeper said helplessly, "Miss, please wait a little longer. It should be soon. Commander Ye should be very busy these two days."
He also knew that his young lady wanted to go out and play, but they had to handle the important matters first.
It was at this moment that the door was pushed open, and Ye Longlin walked in quickly. He was momentarily stunned to see Qin Shiyin sitting by the door.
"I apologize. I've been really busy these past two days, coordinating and resolving matters with various departments."
Qin Shiyin had originally intended to blame him for abandoning her there, but upon hearing Ye Longlin's words, she could only sigh.
"Nine Heavens Cloud has infiltrated various parts of Chang'an. I can quickly provide you with any information you need. If you have nothing else, I'll prepare to head out."
Qin Shiyin said, still quite angry, her resentment towards Ye Longlin evident on her face.
Ye Longlin awkwardly touched his nose. If Mu Hanqi saw him like this, she would likely throw a tantrum again.
"I want you to take on the position of Minister in the Information Department of Baichuan Group. The business war between Baichuan Group and Juwhale Chamber of Commerce is about to begin. Working together will save a lot of time. That's why I asked you to come. Although it's troublesome, it should also be a significant loss for the Dark Hall."
Qin Shiyin fell silent. She had always lived in that large compound, rarely venturing out. So many years had passed, and she hadn't expected to break her routine because of Ye Longlin, and now he was trying to trick her into working for him!
"What's in it for me? Or rather, this matter doesn't have much to do with me. My presence here is already giving you face. You can't possibly expect me to work for you for free, can you?"
Ye Longlin smiled and said, "Twenty billion after the matter is settled. Moreover, I can guarantee that as long as Nine Heavens Cloud does not violate any legal clauses, it will not be under the jurisdiction of the intelligence departments, and you will have independent autonomy."
Qin Shiyin agreed without a second thought: "Deal!"
What she wanted was that last sentence. After all, all intelligence organizations within Great Xia were subject to the jurisdiction of the intelligence departments. Even selling intelligence required review by the intelligence department before it could be sold.
Furthermore, establishing an intelligence organization required immense human and material resources, which led to very few people in the Nine Provinces undertaking this arduous and thankless task.
Upon hearing the word "deal," Ye Longlin rolled his eyes. If he had known it would be so easy, he would have just said it over the phone and saved himself the trip.
"You want to go out and play, would you like me to arrange for some people to protect you in secret?"
He inquired. He understood Qin Shiyin's situation, and she was the only daughter of Qin Hanlie. If anything were to happen to her here, Qin Hanlie would likely not let him off, and would probably seek him out for a fight!
"Yes! Thank you, Commander Ye then."
Fearing that her young lady might refuse, the housekeeper quickly said.
Qin Shiyin pouted, saying nothing.
After nodding, Ye Longlin said, "Be careful. I'm going to the capital and will be back tonight."
Turning to Xuan Niao, he said, "Contact Yuan Gang and have him send people to protect you in secret. If anything happens, he will be held responsible!"
"Understood!"
After arranging matters here, Ye Longlin continued his journey to the capital by car.
How many mysterious departments Great Xia had, Ye Longlin himself probably didn't know. Although he had the authority to view them, he didn't care. He only accessed relevant files when he needed to use them.
And after returning last night, he discovered a mysterious department, and within that department was the person he needed. Therefore, this time he planned to go to the capital to bring that person back!
This mysterious department was called the Butler Group.
Regarding the specifics of the Butler Group, he would have to ask the Great Elder. What he could find out was only about the mysterious departments within the military system, not the mysterious departments that stabilized societal factors.
"The Butler Group is said to have a god-level existence capable of controlling the entire domestic stock market."
