"As long as your majesty is willing to support it, I have a high degree of confidence that it will succeed." Fang Zhengyi said honestly, "In the future, my bank will issue banknotes, and I want to use your majesty's dragon face as the face, and use the best craftsmanship. After seeing your beauty, why don’t they rush into the bank?”
"The most important thing is that once the banknotes are circulated, your honor will be spread all over the world! Are there any portraits of emperors from various dynasties and generations in the history books that look like it? No...but With the current painting level of Dongda Academy of Fine Arts, we are guaranteed to make your image deeply rooted in the hearts of every common people."
"This is something that no one in the past could do!"
Think about our poor brother Chongba. The shoehorned pig loin painting stands out among the many portraits of him because of its prominent shape. It has been popular for I don’t know how many years.
The paintings of the mid-Ming Dynasty are said to have been painted by Zhu Di, and the shit basin was once held up to the head of the pigtails...
Of course, Da Jing also has many figure paintings left by predecessors, and the paintings are all in the same style.
There was no way. Before Fang Zheng arrived, he was trapped by the technological development of the times and did not have a thorough understanding of perspective relationships and other techniques. Portraits could only be painted to that extent.
Of course, different styles and artistic conceptions can also be explained, but now the exquisite erotic pictures sold privately in Taoyuan County and the painters who took on private jobs in the painting books of the Academy of Fine Arts of Eastern Suburb University have explained everything.
Which one is better, the market will often give the answer....
Emperor Jing was well-informed, and after seeing sketches, he naturally felt that the portraits he painted before were not like them.
Fang Zheng couldn't help but think about it as soon as he mentioned it.
It is indeed true. Why didn’t predecessors think of this method? If my portrait is printed on the banknote...
"Put my face on the banknote, in case it is smeared or damaged..." Emperor Jing hesitated.
Although it can widely and long-term increase his reputation and influence, the thought of someone messing with the paper on which his face is drawn makes me feel uncomfortable.
Fang Zhengyi explained patiently: "Your Majesty, you should also know that nothing is perfect, but I can guarantee that more than 99% of the people in the world will not do such a thing. This is enough for you."
"Everyone else will be remembered forever, but you have left behind not only a reputation, but also a majestic image!"
Emperor Jing's throat felt dry and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
Indeed, I didn’t expect that opening a bank would yield such benefits. I felt that it was worth it even if I didn’t make any profit or lose any money.
Failure... the possibility is not high, he is still very confident in his own image.
After weighing it over and over in his mind, Emperor Jing said with relief: "Then do it. I will exchange the stocks in the internal funds into silver and send it to you. However, you must be extremely cautious in this matter, after all, it involves people's wealth."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Inside the teahouse.
Fang Zheng was dressed in casual clothes, and Li Yuanzhao sat aside. The two of them drank tea and ate snacks quietly.
Next door is the Capital Exchange, and the noise coming from it can still be vaguely heard.
There were tea guests all around, and they all looked like they were worth a lot of money.
At this time, the teahouse full of guests were staring at the speaker on the stage without moving their eyes, for fear of missing any information.
In front of the teahouse, on the high platform where opera was originally performed, there was a man with a confident face, dancing and telling business stories.
This man is none other than the famous richest man in Taoyuan, Liu Zhongshun!
With the addition of Taoyuan New City and the exchange, Liu Zhongshun's reputation has been completely expanded.
It is said that when time comes, heaven and earth all work together.
Almost every step he took followed Fang Zhengyi's instructions and followed the rhythm of the times, and he was very up to date.
Now, just like what Fang Zhengyi taught him at the beginning, he would give speeches to his colleagues and talk about his experiences when he had nothing to do.
The main purpose is to expand influence in the business and win over people.
On the stage, Liu Zhongshun said with high spirits: "I feel ashamed to say it. After talking so much, the original intention of everyone coming today is that I heard that Liu has also started to get involved in railway-related industries, and I want to learn some experience and promote some cooperation."
"Liu also admitted today that although he is new to this railway production factory, he already has some experience. As the saying goes, he knows everything. Building and selling houses is just the same as building a factory and reaching the same goal."
“In my summary, the concept of setting up a factory can be summed up in nine words!”
Let’s hold our breath and listen carefully.
"These nine words are, big, big, buy, buy, hehehe! Those who have the ability to set up a factory are naturally those with sufficient capital, so the scale of the factory must be large. There are no skilled workers who do not understand the production process. Yes, let’s buy it! If you can’t buy it, then cooperate, unite all related industries, and finally work together to form a stable pattern.”
"Right now, there is a huge gap in the market, and it's the right time to squander the land. What awaits us in the future is a circle of circles, good, good, good!"
There was applause from below.
Fang Zheng scratched his face and felt something was wrong.
Why do you seem to have heard of this stuff somewhere?
Li Yuanzhao on the side had boredom written all over his face: "Old Fang, you brought me here just to watch him talk nonsense? I'm still busy over there?"
Ignoring Liu Zhongshun who was speaking on the stage, Fang Zheng looked at him and asked, "How has His Highness been busy recently?"
Li Yuanzhao shook his head with a bitter expression: "At first, I thought it wouldn't be too difficult to open a restaurant, but once I took over, I discovered that there were many problems."
"It doesn't matter how this restaurant will be operated in the future, how it will be sold, or what its dishes will be. The supply of these ingredients will be very troublesome. According to what you told me before, there is no stable supply of ingredients in the capital at the moment."
"Those big restaurants do have some channels, but many ingredients are often in short supply, and they are usually only reserved for regular customers."
"We want to do business for the common people. If we want to sell high-quality and low-priced food on a large scale as you said, I have to establish my own channels, or I have to integrate the channels of other restaurants to form a stable supply."
Fang Zhengyi was a little dumbfounded.
When he told the prince about his idea for fast food, he talked about all the modern things.
With the current technical situation and technology, it will definitely not be able to reach the level of modern fast food.
But the market is not that big, and customers are not that picky.
If you can make a beggar's version, it will be considered a success, and you can optimize it step by step in the future.
Fang Zhengyi consoled him: "Your Highness, what I told you was an ideal state. Don't worry too much. If you pursue perfection, you won't be able to do this."
"Don't make this matter too complicated. There are a lot of pigs, sheep, and chicken on the market, right? Although many people raise them freely, we don't lack manpower. We will make a contract in the early stage and collect them from house to house. In this way, we can first The prototype is established.”
"In the future, you will have to adjust sales strategies, inventory management, brand management, team management... There are many problems, and everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you can take the first step, it is a good thing. No businessman can do business like you, and solve all problems. Think ahead, see only difficulties, and don’t have to do anything in the world.”
