For half a month, Lin Yan shuttled around the Civil Affairs Bureau, during which many meetings were held with arbitral tribunal personnel.
She could only find time to go to the laboratory to see the progress of the new coin's materials, and had no time to study it herself.
She is not the only one busy, everyone else is working day and night on this year's tasks.
In early May, the new coin samples were ready. Lin Yan, Ye Cong and Bai Chen brought the samples to the arbitration tribunal to let everyone see how they were doing.
This is a major event related to the future development of the league, and all important personnel in Sun City are here.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the new coins for the first time.
Compared with the dusty iron coins, the new coins are so beautiful. It is silvery white with gold in it, sparkling and even in color. It is the same size as an iron coin. New coins of the same denomination are lighter.
Holding it in your hand, the texture is better. Upon closer inspection, the workmanship is even more refined.
Lin Yan said with a smile: "This is what the new coins look like. They are made of a special alloy. They have the same denomination as the iron coins and a similar shape, with a circle on the outside and a square inside. The material of the new coins is different, resistant to wear and corrosion, and will not If there is rust, the loss will be very small. Everyone should take a closer look to see if there is anything that needs to be changed."
Alan rubbed the one-dollar new coin in his hand. It was exquisite and beautiful, beyond imagination. She heard that the new coins would be as shiny as copper, but she didn't expect that the coins would be more beautiful than copper.
Most people would have no way to create such a luster. Alan felt that if he didn't know what kind of metal it was made of, he would really think it was a gift from God.
It's hard to imagine how Lin Yan and the others could use their brains to turn a pile of inconspicuous ores into such exquisite coins.
Everyone here was not shocked. I admire the people in the laboratory even more. They are indeed different. If it were anyone else, who would be able to make such beautiful coins.
Hongying was the first to praise: "The new coins are so beautiful and perfect. There is nothing to change. If you want me to see them, there is no need to discuss them at all, just use them."
Mrs. Shui followed: "Hongying told me what I was thinking. Such coins don't look like they can be made by humans. The materials are special and it's impossible to imitate them."
Ye Zi looked at Ye Cong and the others with pride, not expecting that his son was already so outstanding.
Feng Hua looked at it the most seriously. He rubbed it back and forth and looked at it. There was really nothing to fault.
The new coin received unanimous praise and everyone thought it was perfect, so it was decided.
Lin Yan had expected such a result. Iron coins and new coins are not comparable in any aspect. She said: "Everyone has agreed. We will then take over the handover with the mint and make the new coins as soon as possible. This is a coin shared by the alliance. Can you guys give it a name?"
Mrs. Shui said smoothly: "It's good to call it new coin. It can be distinguished from iron coin."
Alan shook his head, "No, this is the coin of the Sun Alliance, marking the beginning of the alliance. If nothing else happens, it will be used for a long time, so why not call it Sun Coin."
After everyone thought about it, they felt that Alan's proposal was a good one, and the Sun Coin was born.
The first step in the implementation of the new currency was successfully taken, and Lin Yan felt relieved. Next, let’s look at the aquatic ones.
As long as the new currency is ready, Sun Alliance Bank can open.
On July 5, the ninth year of the Solar Era, Sun Alliance Bank officially opened for business and promoted Sun Coin.
Sun City was very lively on this day, and people had been looking forward to it for a long time. After more than half a year, what would the banks and the new currency look like.
Waiting and waiting, they finally waited.
The day before the opening, all important personnel rushed back and invited representatives from Yuanye City and Qingyan City to witness this moment together.
Qingshan and Yuan Yu, as the leaders of the two cities, finally came to Sun City in person. It has been almost a year since I joined the league. I have heard too many things about Sun City, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I was still shocked.
To show their respect, the three arbiters Alan Baiyun and Kurotsuchi met with Qingshan and Yuan Yu and their group. They are both members of the alliance. This meeting is of great significance.
Sun Alliance Bank is a newly built courtyard designed by Lin Yun and built by himself. It is located in the center of Sun City Commercial Street and Central Avenue.
Different from the red bricks and red tiles of ordinary houses, the walls of Union Bank are white, the door is vermilion, and the courtyard walls are more than one meter higher than ordinary ones.
This is a brand new courtyard. It was watched by countless people when it was built. However, the door was kept closed until the opening day. People didn't see the scene inside.
The courtyard occupies a large area and is divided into multiple independent spaces. On both sides of the entrance are the daily office rooms. There is a sign at the door, which houses the Singapore Currency Exchange Office, Personal Deposits and Loans, Commercial Deposits and Loans and other services.
Qingshan curiously walked into the personal deposit and loan room. As soon as he entered the door, he walked a few steps and there was a long platform with a row of four people sitting behind it. The left side was for deposit business and the right side was for loan processing. They were all marked with signs.
There were benches on both sides of the room for people waiting in line.
On the first day it opened for business, there were already people rushing in to make deposits.
Qingshan watched with his own eyes as the woman took out her ID card and handed it to the person behind the counter. She deposited the hard-earned money into the bank and received a deposit slip.
He asked Alan beside him curiously, "Isn't depositing money in a bank different from saving it yourself?"
Alan smiled and waved Shuisheng over to explain the difference to Qingshan.
Shui Sheng is very proficient in all aspects of the bank's business, and he handles it all by himself. He personally formulates all regulations and procedures, and he also trains people.
The first batch of employees of the bank were carefully selected and outstanding talents were selected after various assessments.
Shuisheng also became the first president of the bank, holding many positions.
"Chief Qingshan, banks are set up to manage money for everyone. Interest will be calculated over time on the money you deposit. Money in your own hands will not increase in value, but it is different in a bank. It is not only safe, but also profitable. Use it. You can withdraw it at any time, which is equivalent to a bank managing your money for free, and there are also benefits.”
Qingshan didn't quite understand what he heard, "Then what does the bank want? It's thankless to manage money for others."
"This is a mistake. The bank will naturally make a profit, and it will be a win-win situation for both parties."
When Qingshan saw that the interest on loans was higher than the interest on deposits, he suddenly understood. The bank is a place of circulation. Some people want to save money, while others want to borrow money. You can make money by going in and out of the bank.
On the first day of business, the largest number of people exchanged new coins, all wanting to exchange their iron coins for sun coins. Just because some time ago, it was spread that the Sun Coin was very beautiful, and everyone wanted to take a look.
