Weiyuan's first bank was opened in Jurong.
This is the location of the first bank decided by Chu Ze and the Zuo family after long discussions.
Jurong is one of the most prosperous towns under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu.
It is close to Yingtian and Zhenjiang Prefecture.
It is also a must-have place for people traveling between the two governments.
The flow of people here, the local population, and the prosperity of business are all very good.
The reason why Chu Ze decided to open his first store here was because it had a lot of people.
The most important thing is that there are no big banks here.
The establishment of their big bank will definitely cause turmoil in Jurong.
Chu Ze couldn't guarantee whether Jurong was in turmoil or not.
Anyway, he was disturbed first.
He was stunned for a while while listening to the news brought by Zhao Si.
After a while, Chu Ze turned his head like a fool, looked at Zhao Si, and said, "Are you sure?"
"We're sure," Zhao Si said, "Not only did we hear that the Wei family is going to open a bank, we also found out the day when their bank will open, which is tomorrow."
When Zhao Si's voice fell, the concierge sent someone to report that Wei Yuan was here and asked to see Chu Ze.
"Master, do we want to see you?"
After Zhao Si said this, he regretted it again: "Wei Yuan is probably not well-intentioned at this critical moment, so why don't we just let him go back?"
After he finished speaking, he was about to go to the door when Chu Ze suddenly called out to him.
"No, I'm just a guest, please."
It happened that Chu Ze also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the Wei family's gourd.
Zhao Si frowned: "Hey."
Not long after, Wei Yuan came in.
Chu Ze saw him from a distance.
His steps were full of wind, and his clothes and hair were dancing with him.
At first glance, it looks like a happy spring breeze.
Tsk, Chu Ze’s hands felt itchy.
Want to hit someone.
Wei Yuan followed Zhao Si to Chu Ze and said respectfully and politely: "I have met Lord Chu."
"Young Master Wei is so polite. Please sit down." Chu Ze pointed to the seat in front of him and motioned for him to sit down before talking.
Wei Yuan thanked him and walked to sit opposite Chu Ze.
Immediately someone served tea.
Chu Ze held the tea and drank it without asking.
Seeing this, Wei Yuan had to speak first: "Mr. Chu, I am a humble man and I have opened a small bank in Jurong. It will open tomorrow. I would like to invite Mr. Chu to come tomorrow."
He took the invitation from his sleeve.
Chu Ze took it and took a look.
When he saw the store address, Chu Ze raised his eyebrows.
Whether it was accidental or intentional, the address of Weiyuan's new store was exactly opposite the address chosen by Zuo's family.
The two doors are facing each other, with a street in between.
Chu Ze threw the invitation on the stone table and sneered: "Is Young Master Wei here to show off his power?"
Wei Yuan was stunned.
He looked at Chu Ze in confusion and asked, "What do you mean, Mr. Chu?"
Chu Ze glanced sideways at Wei Yuan.
"We also want to ask what Mr. Wei Er means. We have never heard that Mr. Wei wants to open a bank before. Now he has opened a bank quietly, and he just happened to set the address at Opposite us, it’s hard for people to think that Mr. Wei Er wants to come and compete with us in the ring.”
Wei Yuan was still stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly smiled as if he suddenly came to his senses.
Chu Ze looked at him indifferently.
Wei Yuan smiled for a moment, then put away his smile and said, "I don't agree with what Mr. Chu said. Mr. Chu said that you opened a shop here, so where is Mr. Chu's shop...? He looked at Chu Ze jokingly, "If we remember correctly, we are the only bank on this street. Why are we in the ring with Mr. Chu?"
"Of course, we admit that opposite this row, there is indeed a bank that has not yet opened. But it belongs to the Zuo family. This has nothing to do with Mr. Chu, right?"
After Wei Yuan finished speaking, he looked at Chu Ze with a smile.
In just a few words, Chu Ze had almost figured out the situation.
Wei Yuan came today to provoke, there is no doubt about this.
From what the man said just now, Chu Ze also discovered that this man seemed to know a lot.
This man knew things that he shouldn't have known.
For example, he was facing the unopened Zuojia Bank.
Although you can know this kind of thing by asking carefully, the question is, how did Wei Yuan know that the Zuo family would open a store in Jurong?
It can also accurately locate the exact location of Zuojia's store in such a short period of time.
If there wasn't something fishy in this, Chu Ze wouldn't believe it.
Originally, Chu Ze wanted to use this incident to suppress Wei Yuan's arrogance.
Now it seems that this trick is useless.
Then try another trick.
Chu Ze's expression remained calm: "Second Young Master Wei is quite well informed."
"Master Chu, thank you. We have more knowledgeable people. For example, the reason why the Zuo family has never opened a store even though they have already obtained the approval procedures." Wei Yuan looked at Chu Ze and smiled like a fox eager to show off.
Chu Ze raised his eyes and said "Oh".
"Then tell me why."
"Because Zuo Chong has a disagreement with Mr. Chu."
Wei Yuan looked straight at Chu Ze with his eyes.
Chu Ze also raised his eyes and looked over.
This man knew more than Chu Ze imagined.
He even knew this.
And judging from his expression, he might even know that the prince was involved.
If he really knew it, the nature of the matter would have changed.
Chu Ze was thinking a lot, but his face didn't show it at all.
He even leisurely changed positions.
"So you come to us now just to show off to us?" Chu Ze asked him.
Wei Yuan immediately raised his hand to deny: "Mr. Chu misunderstood, we came here specially. The first thing is to send an invitation. I sincerely invite Mr. Chu to come tomorrow. The second thing is that I want to discuss cooperation with Mr. Chu."
"cooperate?"
"Is there any cooperation between us?" Chu Ze only found it funny.
They had been so unhappy before, and this man could come over so condescendingly to discuss cooperation with him?
Wei Yuan seemed to have forgotten what happened before, nodding his head and affirming: "Exactly."
Chu Ze looked at him.
Wei Yuan's expression was serious and full of sincerity.
It looks like they are here to discuss cooperation.
"Then tell me what kind of cooperation you want to discuss." Chu Ze raised his hand to signal him.
When Wei Yuan saw that Chu Ze was willing to listen, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
He immediately said: "The Zuo family is rich, and our Wei family is also rich. Mr. Chu wants to open a bank for money. As long as Mr. Chu is willing to cooperate with us and make suggestions for the development of our bank, we can use 40% of the bank's shares to Give it to Mr. Chu, and don’t ask Mr. Chu to contribute a cent of the principal. How about it? "
Thirty percent.
He doesn't need to pay the principal yet.
Wei Yuan has spent a lot of money.
Chu Ze tapped his fingers on the table and was silent.
Seeing his hesitation, Wei Yuan immediately advised him: "Master Chu is strategic and knowledgeable, but the Zuo family is short-sighted. Master Chu had previously thought of such a great way to make money for them, but they only gave him 100%." ...No, it should have been 5% of the shares at the beginning. This clearly means that Mr. Chu is not taken seriously."
