Cao Cao seemed to have grasped something in Liu Ba's words, but his mind was destined to have nothing to do with finance. Even if Liu Ba talked to this extent, Cao Cao still did not wake up.
"Ming Gong, you will understand if you think the deposit certificate signed by Chen Zichuan is an IOU." Liu Base said with a smile. He had completely understood what Chen Xi did, but it was of no use and there was no way to stop it.
Cao Cao opened his mouth, the truth was so simple, it was just a different name, and it was an interest-free loan. You must know that the most famous thing in the Han Dynasty was usury. Big businessmen backed by aristocratic families dared to lend money to the country, and they were able to recover the principal and interest. .
And now Liu Ba told him that what Chen Xi did was to borrow money and then write an IOU. However, his IOU had a different name, and it also had the ability to trade, which not only made the borrower feel more convenient, but also ignored this. In fact, it is borrowing money, and it is interest-free...
"Ming Gong understands." Liu Ba asked with a smile, "This is probably a clever name, and the purpose of gathering money into the main bank is actually to demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall, but Chen Xi's method is very subtle, no one You can just tell."
"Thank you sir for clarifying my doubts." Cao Cao immediately stood up and walked to Liu Ba and gave a solemn salute. Don't look at Liu Ba's simple words, but Cao Cao knew very well that even if he specializes in arithmetic, Xun Wenruo would not be able to see through anything. People should have great talents.
Liu Ba quickly helped Cao Cao up. His back was already soaked with cold sweat. On the one hand, all his strategies had been used by others. On the other hand, it was also the gamble when he opened his mouth to directly target the bank. The rest was even more... Chen Xi was shocked by his audacity.
In Liu Ba's opinion, the danger of this kind of thing is enough to shake Liu Bei's foundation. Once the aristocratic family discovers the fact, even the pro-Liu Bei aristocratic family must stand up and oppose Liu Bei.
"I wonder if you, sir, would be willing to preside over the affairs of the bank here." Cao Cao said immediately after being helped up by Liu Ba. In his opinion, Chen Xi can play like this and play it so well, so he should have no problem imitating cats and tigers.
"It's not impossible." Liu Ba hesitated for a moment and said somewhat unconfidently.
Although Liu Ba has seen through Chen Xi's method of operation, there are dangers in this method of operation. He was a little uncertain, but Cao Cao was so solemn, and Liu Ba also felt that since he had understood the principle, even if he was not as good as Chen Xi, he would not make too big a mistake.
Then Cao Cao was overjoyed. Liu Ba then said, "If you want to build a bank, I'm afraid Ming Gong will need to make some preparations, and the government's decrees will also need to relax business matters."
"This matter is not difficult." Cao Cao said with a smile. He could use this hidden method to get financial support from the world's famous families. It is not impossible to liberalize a little bit of business.
"No, Ming Gong, my intention is to liberalize business, suppress the big businessmen who monopolize the industry, destroy the wealthy businessmen who are unkind and support small and medium-sized businessmen." Economy is Liu Ba's strong point. Before he joins Cao Cao's rule, he will make an order first. Issued some extraordinary decrees.
Cao Cao looked at Liu Ba and knew what the other party was thinking, but Liu Ba had already proven his talent. At least in terms of money, there are probably only five people in the world who can surpass the other party, and this is very important! He Cao Cao needs money.
"This strategy is okay." Cao Cao pretended to think for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, Liu Ba of Jingzhou, Liu Zichu, has met my lord." Liu Ba didn't say anything else and immediately bowed his head. Although Cao Cao was ugly, Liu Ba was very satisfied. In his opinion, he was the only one under Cao Cao. Only then can you truly show your talents.
Soon afterwards, there were rumors in Chang'an Liushi that Cao Sikong was going to relax his suppression of business. At the same time, there were also rumors that banks would appear in Yongliang.
It is said that this rumor scared many aristocratic families who were interested in building banks to death. He had no idea how the plan of himself and others had spread, so he couldn't help but stop and wait for the situation to become clear.
You must know that the Yongliang family was planning to build a bank in the name of the emperor, but unexpected rumors like this appeared in the market. Let a whole family feel infinite resentment.
"Check!" The two Wei families issued this order almost at the same time. Although the Qianzhuang's restrictions on their two families are greater than other families, even if they are restricted, they have to admit that business circulation is better with a Qianzhuang than without it. Much.
Although Cao Cao's intelligence organization was a mess to the outside world, it was a mess internally. Because they had to deal with the situation in Chang'an, they were actually very strict. When the aristocratic family started to move, Cao Cao's intelligence organization received relevant information.
Finally, after Cao Cao met with the two elders of the Wei family, he found that the family's idea was right in his heart. After hesitating for a while, Cao Cao expressed his willingness to give face to the Wei family, but the head bank of Yongliang Bank must Named by the people under his command.
The Wei family had nothing to think about in this regard. Chen Xi did not say who would manage the Yongliang Headquarters. Originally it was supposed to be the Wei family, but if Cao Cao wanted it, he would give it to him. Chen Xi didn't care about their affairs if he didn't like it. You didn't say that Cao Cao was not allowed to manage, right?
Of course, these are relatively low-level matters now. The current banking issues, as well as the relaxation of business and the crackdown on monopoly wealthy businessmen who are greedy for wealth, need to come up with a charter. Therefore, Chen Qun, Sima Lang, Fan Qin, and Liu Ba are all busy.
Similarly, Liu Ba also saw these teammates who he thought were just trying to gain fame, but in fact they were so strong that they were almost unbelievable. After silent observation in the end, he could only say bitterly that in addition to being better than these people in economics, he was outshined by the opponent in other aspects. The series of torture.
Fortunately, both Sima Lang and the soy sauced Fan Qin have very good personalities. As for Chen Qun, he used to be very arrogant. In the end, he was first crushed over and over again by Chen Xi, his brother, and then he was crushed by Xun Yu in various ways. , so after putting aside his arrogance, he became a complete gentleman.
Not to mention Xun Yu, he is very powerful and has a perfect character. He never makes people feel domineering and a perfect gentleman.
This also reassured Liu Ba a lot. What he was most worried about was that he would not be able to integrate into this group. The results looked good now. Although he did not come into contact with any important secrets and his official position was Sikong Changshi, but It was obvious that everyone considered him one of their own.
This feeling was good. Liu Ba felt that he had to dedicate everything to Cao Cao. However, after he saw the calculation data of Liu Bei's side handed over by Xun Yu, his heart skipped a beat.
This time Liu Ba clearly understood the difference in strength between the princes of the world and Liu Bei. The other party could really push the world with one go, instead of just joking. Looking at Xun Yu and others who were extremely calm about going against such forces, Liu Ba Suddenly I felt that maybe they could really defy heaven. (To be continued.)
