Compared to the gloom and misery at Guangling Bank, Zhao Wengu and the others at Jinxiu Bank had a great victory.
Until now, Liu Bi has not figured out how important Guangling Bank is to them.
He is still calculating his personal gains and losses, completely unaware of how terrible it is to entrust the currency exchange rate to others!
And Le Chao is now obsessed with intrigues with Yang Sheng, and most of his thoughts are focused on handling the general trend of the world. He is completely unaware of this, so this is doomed to their subsequent disastrous defeat...
"General Manager, it is exactly as you planned. His Highness King Wu seems to be ready to default on the debt!"
"This is something that was expected. Let His Highness the King of Wu feel proud first and report this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince via a flying pigeon!"
A confident smile appeared on Zhao Wengu's face. Sure enough, everything turned out pretty much as the king expected.
With Liu Bi's selfish and greedy character, he would definitely be reluctant to spend the money in his hands.
This directly led to the development of Guangling Bank being restricted. None of the other princes and princes were fools.
The copper coins in my hands that I finally earned have not yet warmed up, and I have to pay them back with dozens of times the principal and interest.
This kind of thing, let alone the kings surnamed Liu, who were known for their greed, even ordinary merchants would not be able to accept such conditions.
Once several other princes and kings openly began to refuse to pay, Guangling Bank would immediately fall apart, leaving Jinxiu Bank alone.
Credit is difficult to maintain, but it only takes one night to destroy it.
After people lose trust in Guangling Bank, from now on, even if these princes are fiddling with new banks, no one will buy it.
Naturally, no one who can be a businessman is a fool. They are the shrewdest people in the world. It is enough to gain wisdom once it happens. No one will stumble on the same stone twice!
On the surface, it seems that the bank did not get much benefit from spending a lot of money this time. But the problem is that after this series of events, the biggest competitor of Guangling Bank has completely disappeared. .
From then on, the Jinxiu Bank became the dominant one.
Even if Liu Deng handed over the entire bank operation to the emperor in the future, the emperor would not be able to replace all the low-level personnel.
Isn’t this Liu Deng’s connections?
Many things don't have to be completely in your own hands, as long as you can exert influence on him, it's enough, especially things like banks.
Such a behemoth should not be a private matter at all.
If Liu Deng forcibly holds this thing in his hands, he will only bring trouble to himself or his descendants.
"The order is passed. From today on, only five branches will remain in the entire Wu Kingdom, keeping pace with the SF Express branch. The treasury reserves of all branches must not exceed three million coins!"
After pondering for a moment, Zhao Wengu immediately stood up and gave instructions to the shopkeepers in front of him.
"General manager, are you worried that King Wu will jump over the wall in a hurry?"
A shopkeeper said carefully.
"But then why don't we withdraw from Wu temporarily?"
Liu Yu asked with some confusion.
"Your Majesty has a saying that makes sense, fear when others are greedy, and fear when others are greedy! At this time, it is estimated that those knowledgeable people are worried about any big moves, so there will definitely be people in the entire Wu Kingdom. Many businessmen are fleeing on a large scale! If they want to escape, what is the best way?"
"You mean, they will mortgage all the assets in their name to us? Then they will take the money themselves..."
"hiss--"
Now Liu Yu understood something, right!
This is the best way for businessmen to avoid risks. Once the Wu Kingdom and the imperial court go to war, these businessmen will be the first targets!
After all, the fire in the Taiping warehouse some time ago was noticed by everyone.
If the King of Wu launched an army to rebel, he would definitely need a large amount of food, grass, ordnance, which merchants could not provide, but food, grass, and military pay. What if the King of Wu came with his troops to borrow food?
No businessman in Guangling City could refuse. Even if they can escape the first grade of junior high school, can they escape the fifteenth grade?
If King Wu wins, he will be the master of the world.
Naturally, this debt will be settled. If he loses, confiscation of his family and extermination of his clan will be considered trivial. Is it possible that this debt can still be settled with him underground?
Moreover, most of the businessmen and most of their belongings were stored in Guangling Bank. Even the King of Wu did not have to say hello to them at all. He only had to transfer the money from the bank and that was it.
Is it possible that they still have the courage to attack Prince Wu's Mansion?
Just like those big guys in later generations cutting leeks, in many cases, power is often better than any strategy.
Especially in today's feudal society, these businessmen had no means of resistance at all when facing the King of Wu.
Many of them were blinded by interests before, so that now they are stuck in the quagmire one by one.
I believe that after this incident, these businessmen should be very rational when facing banks...
Amidst this turmoil, only Splendid Bank remained standing.
Moreover, starting from today, I am afraid they will usher in a new wave of development.
As the merchants fled, a large number of shops, land, and properties in the entire Wu Kingdom were bound to fall into the hands of Jinxiu Bank.
And the price must be quite low, and the entire Guangling City will definitely be in desolation for a while.
But just like Liu Deng's previous guess, even if a war breaks out in Guangling City, it will definitely not last long. In the past few years, the cities of Wu State have actually developed very well.
After everything clears up, due to the special geographical location of Guangling City, the entire Wu Kingdom, whether going south or north, must pass through Guangling, so Guangling City will return to its former prosperity!
Calculated in this way, at this time, they are taking over these shops, real estate and land at extremely low prices. This is really an extremely profitable transaction.
"Don't worry, you can be your shopkeeper with peace of mind. Even if His Highness King Wu really wants to do something big, he won't touch you!"
Regarding this, Zhao Wengu is still very confident. If King Wu wants to take the world by storm, he must plan for his future.
The failure of Guangling Bank has taught him a bloody lesson. The shopkeepers of Jinxiu Bank are all valuable assets.
Just when Zhao Wengu was full of ambition, the construction of the city wall on the distant grassland was finally about to begin...
