"Thank you, Boss Huang, for your help. Our Fuman Inn will be launching a new beer recently. You will be the first to taste it."
Song Che cupped his fists and smiled in thanks, and continued:
"In addition to the wine made by me at Fuman Inn, the four newly opened 'Secrets in Yangzhou City' in the north, south, and west of the city are also my property;
Song's family runs a cloth and embroidery business in Suzhou, with a dyeing workshop, a weaving workshop, a silk workshop, and an embroidery workshop. There are also 300 acres of mulberry farmland outside Suzhou, and 800 workers under his command;
I, the Shen family Jinxiu, am truly an imperial merchant;
In addition to Suzhou, the 'Song's Jewelry Store' in Hangzhou is also my business. It must be familiar to beauties who love pearls;
Also, Song once held the famous 'Luochao' Cuju competition in the capital, and the 'Hongxing Society' I opened still has a gold-lettered signboard given by the current emperor;
To sum up, there is no need to worry about Song’s qualifications and credibility. "
Sometimes Song Che himself would sigh with emotion, as if he had accomplished something unknowingly.
"Next, the second security issue."
Song Che clapped his hands.
I saw a team of thirty soldiers, led by Jiang Yuntian, striding forward with arrogance and muskets.
"As you can see, the bodyguards I hired are all elite soldiers selected from the Yangzhou Army. With them protecting your assets, you can rest assured."
"In the end, it is the income issue that everyone is most concerned about."
Song Che spoke solemnly:
"Yes, depositing money in a bank can indeed generate money——
Let's take a hundred taels of silver as an example. If you deposit a hundred taels of silver in a bank, you can earn a flat and a half interest if you deposit and withdraw it in one year; if you deposit and withdraw it in one lump sum in three years, you can earn eight taels of interest; Thirteen times interest;
What is lump sum withdrawal?
That is, the money is placed in the bank and is not withdrawn within a year. If it is deposited and withdrawn at any time, no interest will accrue, and it is just regarded as the money being handed over to our bank for safekeeping;
The interest generated will be deducted according to the tax rate of Daliang. The income you receive is real money after tax is deducted. In other words, the interest you earn from saving money does not need to be paid to the state. pay taxes;
The 'World Bank' here is the main branch in Jiangnan. In the coming days, we will open branches in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiangning and other big cities with canals and water systems flowing through them;
After you deposit your money, our bank will issue you a 'bank check', which will have our bank's official seal, a special anti-counterfeiting mark, and your fingerprints on it;
Different from Feiqian's single point exchange, as long as there is a Tianxia bank, you can exchange banknotes;
For any customer who deposits money at the bank, we will keep your information on record. If your outstanding bills are accidentally lost, you can go to the Yangzhou main account to check and reissue them;
In addition to providing money deposits and withdrawals, Tianxia Bank will also launch a 'loan' category after it has more customers. If you need money urgently and have a good reputation in the local area, the bank can lend you money for urgent needs;
If you borrow money and you really can't repay it in one breath, we can also handle 'instalment repayment'. For example, if you borrow one hundred taels, you can repay it in ten months. In addition to paying back the principal of ten taels each month, you will also need to repay the loan in installments. The family earns dozens of pence of interest, so and so;
All in all, our bank is absolutely reputable, absolutely safe, and will never lose money! "
Fine or not?
Very thin!
After a detailed explanation, those who didn’t understand were still swaying, while those who understood were already eager to try.
This is all serious business. It is true that both merchants and customers have interests. If we exchange sincerity for sincerity, what is there to worry about?
"The store opening ceremony of Tianxia Bank is about to begin. Mr. Song has invited heavyweight guests from Yangzhou to cut the ribbon together. Please give us a round of applause, Mr. Li Zhi, the new economic and strategic appeasement envoy of Yangzhou!"
"Oh, this boss Song is really powerful, he even invited Mr. Li!"
"Should we salute?"
"Pa bang bang..."
In a burst of applause, nearly 20 people, including Li Zhi, Liao Heng and other officials from Yangzhou Prefecture, headed by the pacifier, and Bao Dayou, the military commander, and other five military officers, waved and walked out of the bank.
Once this huge array of noodles is laid out, who would have any doubts?
Song Che asked the guys to pull up a Changhong, prepared more than twenty pairs of scissors, and took Shen Wenjun and other officials to stand behind Changhong.
"Now, I officially announce that the No. 1 bank in the world is open for business!"
"Crack!"
In an instant, firecrackers were blasting and gongs and drums were noisy.
Song Che finally lit the "first fire" of winter in Yangzhou City.
"The bank is open today and we will not collect money for the time being. After all, this is related to everyone's property. I hope you can figure it out first, then go back and discuss it with your family. Once you have decided, you can come to the bank to save money."
Business is credibility, and you should compare your feelings with your own.
In any case, ancient banks could not be as sophisticated as modern banks, and there is a huge gap between the rich and poor of the contemporary people. Most of the people who can come to the bank to earn interest are the wealthy class who have no worries about food and clothing.
Ordinary ordinary people, excluding living expenses, only have a few dozen taels of savings in their hands. They would rather dig a hole in the courtyard or wall to hide it.
For ordinary people, only when they hold their hard-earned money in their own hands will they feel safe.
…
Must close before dark.
This is a strict order given by Song Che to each branch.
As soon as the private house and the bank opened, they declared war on the Yang family. Don't worry too much in broad daylight, just fear that the dark moon and high wind will kill you.
Because of this, Song Che asked Jiang Yuntian to help train musketeers in the military camp, with the purpose of temporarily hiring them to protect peace.
After returning to the inn, the bills from the four branches were delivered as scheduled.
Applying the operating methods of the Suzhou main store to the branches, a multi-pronged approach including full discounts, group buying, takeout, discounts, draws, discounts, and various activities brought more than 3,000 private items and sold them in one day. Nearly half of it was sold, and nearly a thousand jars of white jade ointment were sold.
Total revenue today is seventeen thousand taels.
Although sales will gradually decrease, judging from the current speed, the inventory will soon be sold out, and efforts must be made to purchase goods from Suzhou.
Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, the three "Pearls on the Canal" cities are connected in a line, and the bloodline of the money empire will be born.
The day's mission was successfully completed.
The evening mission has just begun.
There are a total of thirty-six members of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, twenty of whom are local. Nowadays, the Japanese invasion of Huainan is serious, and most members from other places will not take risks just for an election. Therefore, the votes for the president of the chamber of commerce will fall into the hands of these twenty local businessmen.
Song Che set up three tables of banquets in the hotel room and sent invitations to all the guests.
At this moment, he was standing at the door of the inn, quietly waiting for the guests to arrive.
"Will they come?" Shen Wenjun accompanied them to wait.
“They all want to come, they just don’t dare to come, but someone will come.”
Song Che said confidently: "If you come to one, I will earn one vote. If you come to twelve or thirteen people, I will become the president of Yangzhou in three days, and you will be the president's wife."
Shen Wenjun curled his lips, "If the status is too high and the business is too big, it will make people scared."
How could Song Che never know that "it's always cold at high places"?
But the shopping mall is like a battlefield. Either you die or I die. There is no turning back when the bow is fired. He must win this battle!
