"What are you writing down? What are you writing down?" Li Yuanzhao's impatient voice came from the box, "Can I go out? It's very boring here!"
"Your Highness, don't worry. I'll open the door for you and then come out." As soon as Fang Zheng said that, he quickly stuffed the banknote in again.
Seeing this, Ao Chen added another line of small words.
At this moment, automatic deposit machines also exist...
As for why it is not an automatic deposit and teller machine, Mr. Fang has already planned it. One invention can be split into two inventions.
Later generations of scholars who compile history books can write more words in the history books...it would be awesome if it were spread out, right?
Opening the door of the 'ATM', Li Yuanzhao jumped out immediately and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I'm so suffocated. Tell me, what is this thing for?"
Fang Zheng asked mysteriously: "Your Highness, do you feel safe sitting in it?"
"Absolutely not."
"Alas, common people are not like that. They tend to speak unfavorably when meeting high-ranking officials... This is all a design. What should I do if I have stage fright when recruiting employees for a bank? This box can perfectly solve the problem."
Li Yuanzhao said in disbelief: "What's wrong! Are you holding on after eating enough? And what were you writing down outside just now?"
Fang Zheng had a shy face and waved his hands: "It's nothing. Since His Highness thinks this thing is useless, we won't use it. Ahem..."
Li Yuanzhao stared at him suspiciously.
Lao Fang's coquettish behavior is inexplicable and confusing, but he does it all the time, not just once or twice.
"Is there anything else you can show me?"
Fang Zheng perked up and said, "Yes, the design of our bank is extraordinary. The county has design drawings and a lot of specially customized furniture. I'll take you to have a look..."
...
The construction of the bank was still in full swing, and the original location of the teahouse had been completely demolished in a short period of time.
The current construction is not like that of later generations. Many commercial decorations can only be done at night, and there are many other restrictions.
We need fire protection, we need to buy insurance and get three guarantees at the door, we need to find property management approval, etc...
Nothing like that! The Bingma Si said hello, and the person who came picked up a hammer and did it!
It doesn't matter whether he disturbs the people or not, he does it day and night, banging and banging.
The dismantled waste was thrown casually into the streets.
A group of people swarmed in and took away what could be used to use as firewood or make furniture.
The remaining dust and dirt will be swept away directly by the health team.
Therefore, demolishing the house is extremely fast.
According to Fang Zhengyi's instructions, a tall and large fence was built outside before the demolition work was carried out.
Countless squares were painted on the boarding board according to Mr. Fang's instructions, and were sold as temporary billboards.
Although it is a temporary fence, it cannot stand up to the awesome location, right next to the exchange.
With the huge crowds of people passing by, I made a small profit on advertising fees....
At present, the demolition work is completed and construction has begun in full swing.
Fang Zhengyi did not work in the town office as usual, but instead took time to come to the newspaper office.
The bank is making good progress, and the advertisements surrounding the outside have also caused a wave of heated discussions in the capital. It is time to start thinking about building momentum for the bank.
After Liu Zhongshun attracted the first batch of big customers, he began to promote it to the people.
Although big merchants and big families have strong financial strength, it is extremely difficult to attract their business.
People are different. They generally had no money in the past, but now their living conditions are better and they have some meager savings in their hands.
Gathering sand into a tower, gathering armpits into fur, it may not be as much as the wealth of a wealthy family when gathered together.
It couldn't be easier to get the money in their hands, as long as there is a little temptation of small interests and a little trust.
No matter how poor people are, they actually have investment needs and impulses, but they have never been able to express them due to limited channels and lack of information.
The threshold for stocks is high and the risks are high. People are conservative in financial management and dare not take action.
It's different with banks. The interest rate is stable and it can prevent theft, which is even better!
In the newspaper office, Fang Zheng was holding the newspaper, and Xie Xian was sitting beside him to accompany him.
After reading the whole article, Fang Zheng put down the newspaper and asked, "Is the income and life of the reporters in our newspaper okay now?"
"Not bad." Xie Xian nodded, and then added, "Enough to survive."
"Huh? What do you mean by living enough? Isn't it already five taels a month?" Fang Zhengyi frowned.
Xie Xian said helplessly: "Stock trading, our reporters are exposed to the latest news. Everyone is trading stocks like crazy. They have enough money to survive, and the rest is bought in stocks."
"Isn't this betting on dogs!" Fang Zhengyi said displeased, "I came to see you today to let you promote something. Do you know that there is a house next to the exchange that has been demolished?"
"Know."
"A bank, that is, a bank, is going to be opened there. I will open it jointly with the palace. After the bank is opened, the newspaper will cooperate with the publicity. It just so happens that our newspaper reporters know how to speculate in stocks if they don't work hard. You can mobilize and help the family Deposit all the money, and there are seven aunts and eight aunts from reporters, and all the ten clans that can be contacted have deposited money in our bank, and there will be interest for it."
"All ten clans are involved?" Xie Xian was a little dumbfounded.
Since the founding of Dajing, even two of the Nine Clan could not be found. Is it so hard to raise deposits?
"What, is it difficult?" Fang Zheng glanced at him sideways.
"It's really hard to deal with, sir, and it's not like this to steal money." Xie Xian whispered, "Newspaper reporters can't squeeze much money out of it, and they are all counting on stocks to make a fortune."
"It's not like I can't take it out! Let them help me open up the situation. I, the Jinyiwei, will be ready to mobilize in the future. If you want to take it out after a while, you can take it out. I don't care. Link this matter to the performance of the newspaper. Whoever fails to save up to the standard will be promoted in the future. Salary increase is a problem, let's see who dares not to save!" Fang Zheng slapped the table one by one, and the matter was settled.
Xie Xian had no choice but to nod in agreement: "As for private propaganda, what are you going to do about it, sir?"
"It's still early. I estimate that the bank will not be initially completed until the end of the month. During this period, you can ask the people below to take the time to write more relevant manuscripts, and then select a batch of them and publish them on the market."
"The content needs to be detailed and informative. Just like before, the people must understand it in plain language. Explain the pros and cons clearly to him. The main thing is to compare it with other banks in the market and let the people know that all the friends and merchants are rubbish."
"What about?" Xie Xian asked.
"For example, if you look for scandals that have happened in other bank accounts, you can tell us that it is absolutely impossible here. The bank has never had any problems since its opening, and the funds are absolutely guaranteed."
"But we are a newly opened bank, so what happened?" Xie Xian looked strange.
"The people don't care about that! It's not like they believe whatever you say. Most people won't think of this, so just do it." Fang Zheng said, "Also, let's promote it to the students of Dongjiao University in the future. Tuition fees must be paid through the bank, and there is no need to pay them to the school.”
"Deposit in the bank, and if you deposit more than five taels of silver, you will receive free rice, flour, oil, eggs, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. You can write these, there is no problem with small favors, and..."
