With the promotion of banknotes, money clips with the style of Xiao Letian's previous life began to slowly become popular. Of course, this was mainly popular among big businessmen!
Because only big businessmen like to spend large-denomination banknotes, while ordinary people prefer silver coins and copper coins that carry body temperature!
In fact, the earliest banknotes issued by the Chinese had a maximum denomination of one hundred yuan, which represented one hundred silver dollars. The purchasing power was huge!
The two hundred and five hundred denomination banknotes were actually forced to be issued before the Franco-Prussian War due to various reasons!
This large-denomination banknote actually evolved from war bonds. Xiao Letian issued many war bonds for the war, some with three-year terms and some with five-year terms!
The interest promised by these bonds is very high, which is a very good means of saving and increasing investment!
But there are risks, that is, betting on the outcome of the war. If the head of state wins, these bonds can be easily exchanged for high interest rates. If the head of state loses, I am afraid that all the principal will be lost!
However, because the head of state was supported by Shinhwa's reputation, and coupled with the strong support of the Chinese businessmen and capital groups who were most loyal to the head of state, the issuance of these war bonds was still very smooth!
Later, facts proved that everyone's choice was correct. The head of state lived up to his high expectations and defeated France and received a large war compensation!
Now the bonds have become popular, and no one will doubt the value of these bonds anymore!
Confidence is such a magical thing, because everyone believes in its value and no one doubts it, then it actually has a certain currency effect!
Many businessmen carry out large-scale transactions. It is still too troublesome and not satisfying to use 100-yuan banknotes. Some smart people made a suggestion: "I still have tens of thousands of large-denomination war bonds. You can just collect the top payment." how?"
When the other party saw that this thing had a very high credibility, and the head of state was backed by so many war reparations, there was nothing to be afraid of, so just collect the bonds and ship the goods!
After going back and forth, merchants in Jiangnan suddenly discovered that it is very simple and convenient to use large-denomination currencies such as bonds to conduct commercial trade!
This trend spread, and finally the Chinese central bank governor Fan Jianlao also discovered this trend, so he printed a batch of large-denomination banknotes to the Grand Council!
This is the origin of the five hundred and two hundred denomination notes in Cao Shuai's wallet!
To be honest, in the Qing Dynasty, there were very few people who could use this currency in large quantities! Because the total quantity printed by the Chinese central bank is not large, this is just a small batch of special currency used by big businessmen!
Really ordinary people use small-denomination currencies of ten yuan, five yuan, and one yuan. It is difficult for them to see such coins!
Apart from anything else, Cao Shuai's ability to take out 40,000 yuan of currency of such a denomination in one breath has proven that he is very extraordinary. How could a businessman who is not a wealthy man possess so many large denominations of currency?
Not to mention that these soldiers were dumbfounded, even Mama Sang and a few thin horses who had always seen the gold-selling cave were stunned. They always thought that these three were rich people, but they didn't expect that they were the real God of Wealth. A rich man!
Mama Sang trembled as she opened the buckle on her wallet. When she saw the five hundred denomination banknotes with dragon pattern, her eyes were filled with stars. "Oh...it's a large five hundred banknote! It's so beautiful...look at this paper." There is even gold thread hidden inside..."
Money can't be faked, but just now this Commander Cao actually asked Brother Sheng Jiujie to open everyone's eyes? What's going on? Isn't Cao Shuai the richest man?
Sheng Jiujie clapped his hands, and a servant came from the stern of the boat. Everyone's eyes suddenly widened: "Damn! This, this, this... what kind of outfit is this?"
There was a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a black tights that stretched out all her curves. This woman's hair and face were wrapped in black cloth, revealing her sparkling eyes!
Zhang Xiaowen applauded loudly, "Fuso Kunoichi! What a masterpiece! Brother Sheng is really smart, and he actually carries Fuso Kunoichi with him!"
The escorts protecting Simpson suddenly became nervous because they felt the murderous aura emanating from this kunoichi!
"Brothers, please be careful...this heretic must have a lot of lives on his hands..."
"That's right, I can smell it. It's impossible for someone who has never killed anyone to have such an aura..."
People who practice martial arts are very sensitive and have a natural alertness to danger!
The female ninja didn't pay attention to anyone, she just knelt in front of Sheng Jiujie holding a black box and raised her hands high above her head!
Sheng Jiujie nodded, "Open it... let them see!"
"Hai..." the kunoichi responded, turning her body ninety degrees, gently placing the black box on the table, her dexterous hand pulled the spring, and the lid popped open with a snap!
Ouch! Everyone exclaimed, wasn't the dazzling yellow light in the box the color of gold? Under the bright lights, the bright yellow color stirs up the devil in people's hearts!
"This is the Jin Xiaoban, a currency that can only be used between the Fuso Kingdom's lords, daimyo and giant merchants. Each piece weighs one or two!"
Inside the box are oval gold pieces with the family crest of the Tokugawa shogunate on them, as well as one or two Chinese characters!
But without exception, these gold coins have some vicissitudes of life, and there are many scratches on them, indicating that these coins have been used for a long time!
"This gold is not only valuable as gold, it also has the value of cultural relic collection... because these are a batch of gold medals cast by Tokugawa Ieyasu after he unified Japan!"
"The purity is higher and the craftsmanship is more exquisite. These are the most popular treasures in Edo City... It is also very laborious to get them!"
"This box of gold is worth 30,000 silver dollars... What if you include the value of their cultural relics? I can't think of less than 60,000 silver dollars..."
"If you don't believe it, there are many collectors of cultural relics in the south of the Yangtze River. Let them authenticate it... or ask a giant businessman from Fuso to authenticate it. There is no problem!"
Sheng Jiujie looked at Fei Shuo contemptuously, "General! If you still don't want to believe this, then I still have some cashier's checks from Fuso Bank here!"
"Each one has a denomination of 10,000 silver dollars, and can be exchanged at all the business offices of Fuso Bank and the Chinese Central Bank!"
"It's eleven in total...that's one hundred and ten thousand taels! Mr. Zhang Xiaowen is an old man in the banking industry, and his vision is unmistakable!"
Sheng Jiujie turned to look at Zhang Xiaowen, "Mr. Zhang, come and take a look..."
Zhang Xiaowen shook his head, "You don't need to authenticate your Sheng family's money. You don't need to fake a small sum of hundreds of thousands...and I want to tell you! You can also exchange the principal of Fuso Bank at will at Fukang Bank in Jiangnan." Votes!"
"If you have business to support me in the future, don't always go to other companies!"
"Haha... no problem, of course I will support Brother Daring!"
ah! Fei Shuo yelled, "Who are you? How can you be so rich!"
