"Shopkeeper Gao, please be patient! We only have three days, isn't it? Anyway, we have already bought this store, and it is just the expenses of some of the guys, it won't cost much!"
Zhao Wengu looked like an old god. She had already thought of this kind of thing before coming.
It is better to be still than to move at this time. After all, this is the base camp of King Wu Liu Bi, who has been operating here for many years.
Their situation is awkward, so it's better not to play any tricks at this time.
What's more, the king has actually told him a long time ago that this matter will turn around in a month at most.
Besides, the main purpose of his visit this time was actually not to supervise the opening of the bank. The main purpose was to exchange those copper coins.
In the recent period, they have successively started to exchange large amounts of copper coins from other banks in the Kingdom of Wu.
Every time a batch is exchanged, someone is sent to load the truck and transport it back to the country. At the current speed, it will take at most ten days and a half to transport all the tens of millions of copper coins away.
"But girl, let's just sit here. If the king asks about it in the future, how will we explain it?"
Although Gao Bin was one of the shopkeepers personally selected by Liu Deng, he did not dare to show any disrespect to Zhao Wengu.
Although he is a little anxious now, his words are still very polite.
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Gao. If there is any problem with the king, I will be there of course. We just need to wait for the weather, and there is no need to ask about the rest!"
"But……"
Gao Bin originally wanted to say something, but seeing Zhao Wengu's attitude so determined, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.
Zhao Wengu just smiled slightly and did not continue to explain to him. He just looked at the chess book in his hand.
As Liu Deng said, the way of business is like the way of chess, and Zhao Wengu does have some talent in this aspect.
Guangling Bank and Jinxiu Bank opened their doors one after another, and each one was bigger than the other. At this time, it really attracted the attention of other princes and kings.
Let’s not talk about the fight between the two families. Just having a bank has brought great convenience to the merchants.
In the past, when I went out to do business, I had to carry copper coins in a big cart or a small cart every time I went out.
I was really on tenterhooks along the way, for fear that a bunch of mountain kings would suddenly pop out from some corner.
After all, money touches people's hearts, and this kind of thing is inevitable even in the territory of Wu.
In the past, many of their merchants would switch to salt stamps and use salt stamps for transactions. Of course, it was convenient.
But the 10% profit that was paid for nothing would really hurt if it caught up with large transactions.
The emergence of banks perfectly solves this problem. By depositing money in banks, not only do they not have to pay excess profits, but the banks also give them money.
And if the market catches up and you don't have enough money, you can still pledge part of the goods.
Or you can mortgage your property and land and borrow another sum of money from the bank!
This convenience has greatly stimulated the development of business. In less than a month, the commercial tax paid by the entire Wu Kingdom this year has almost exceeded the total amount of the past quarter.
This gratifying result immediately made several princes and kings nearby become envious.
Of course, the person who has experienced this most deeply is the King of Chu, Liu Wu. Businessmen from Wu and Chu have exchanged what they have. This has been an indisputable fact for many years.
Not long ago, someone had written to Liu Wu, King of Chu, hoping that Liu Wu would agree to Guangling Bank and open a branch in Chu State.
Just like Zhang Shisan said, among the kings surnamed Liu in the world, there are really very few who are not interested in wealth.
The crazy depreciation of the five-baht coin some time ago not only suffered greatly from the imperial court, but also the other princes and kings suffered heavy losses one by one.
After all, this is a double-edged sword. It can injure the enemy a thousand and damage oneself eight hundred. What's more, there are not many copper mines in Chu State. The combined output of several small copper mines is not as high as that of Liu Bi. The monthly output is large.
Therefore, the main transactions almost still rely on Wu Guo's small coins and five baht coins.
After the fake money incident broke out, the commercial activities of the entire Chu State almost came to a standstill. Both the people and the merchants were full of despair for the copper coins in their hands.
The crazy depreciation of the five-baht coin has hurt everyone. Those who hold goods in their hands don't even dare to accept the five-baht coin.
There is no way to tell the price of Liu Bi's production, both in terms of appearance and weight.
You can't possibly break all the copper coins in half and check them, right?
In the two months of May and June, almost all commercial activities in Pengcheng were paralyzed.
The emergence of banks perfectly circumvents this point.
After depositing the money in the bank, you can agree on what kind of copper coins to use when delivering the transaction!
Seeing the country's income plummeting, even Chu King Liu Wu couldn't sit still. Today he specially sent someone to Guangling to discuss with King Wu about the bank's investment.
"Master Zhang, you are a rare visitor! We haven't seen each other for many years. After you finish talking about the business later, how about we talk by candlelight tonight?"
Zhang Shang and Le Chao had known each other since they were teenagers. They came from different families. Although they rarely interacted with each other after becoming officials, when they met again after so many years, they really felt that they cherished each other.
In particular, the two of them served as state ministers in Wu and Chu respectively, so of course there were many more topics to talk about between them.
The only difference is that there is a Taifu above Zhang Shang's head, while Le Chao is constantly suppressed by Yang Sheng.
"This time we are on my brother's land. Of course I have to obey my brother's arrangements! However, I still need some kind words from my brother on the matter of buying shares this time!"
All of this was just as Yang Sheng had planned. Let’s not talk about the bank, whether they can make money or not. The positive significance of this thing to business has already made everyone overjoyed.
Wherever a bank is opened, commercial activities will become more prosperous. No matter what the considerations are, other princes and kings will definitely follow suit.
If the princes and kings were brought in one by one at the initial stage of creation, although this stage of establishment would be much easier, after all, the money Liu Bi needs to spend would not be much if it were shared among several princes and kings. .
However, for Liu Bi, whether it is political or financial, the advantages he can take advantage of are correspondingly much less.
But it's different now. The entire bank is fully open. If other princes and kings want to enjoy the benefits, even if you come up with a lot of copper coins, it depends on whether Liu Bi is willing to accept it...
After all, why are you picking the peach trees planted by others?
