Half an hour later, after listening to Ye Yu's lecture on modern finance, Edward nodded and said, "That sounds reasonable. You guys should do your best," and stood up to leave.

Ye Yu quickly stopped and said, "Teacher, don't leave. Since you're here, let's have a meal and deposit all your money in the bank. This not only protects your property, but also supports our work." It was not easy to catch Edward. Ye Yu didn't want to let this big fish go easily. He persuaded Edward to save money here. It was not only the money he saved, but more importantly, his role as an example and leader. He would be confident in negotiating with Elizabeth Zhu Wu and the others. , even Edward believes in the Bank of the Rising Sun, what else do they not believe in.

"Money, I have no money. I am about to go to the city hall to apply for a special grant to support the development of my steamship. That old man Dupont is not easy to talk to." When talking about money, Edward jumped up as if he had been stabbed by a needle in the butt. He was very sensitive.

"You are the governor of Qizhou Island. Aren't you responsible for all the people here? You don't have to ask others to apply for funding." Ye Yu was extremely surprised, and it didn't look like the old man was joking.

"I'm just the dean of Edison College, I don't have that much authority," Edward said angrily, turned around and left. Ye Yu didn't even have time to stop him. When he was approaching the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "Let Liang Yong see you all day long." Don't do this mindless thing, go to my laboratory to help when you have time, researching steam engines is a truly meaningful career,"

Ye Yu had a wry smile on his face, "I have just been explaining to you for a long time, but you didn't listen to a word. You don't know the role of modern finance at all. You are still addicted to your own technological world. This old man has become an idiot when it comes to inventions."

Then Ye Yu smiled again, but it was a cunning smile. When he returned to the office, he quickly signed a large deposit certificate with Edward's name clearly written on it. Even Edward's signature was so lifelike. Since the old man entered the bank, he had to Use his name to promote it, and with this deposit certificate, he will definitely attract the attention of others and bring one large deposit certificate after another.

If you don't use this good opportunity, it will be wasted if it expires.

While Ye Yu was sorting out the deposit certificates, secretary Qiu Hong came in to report the visit of the iron ore mine boss Wang Dashan. Ye Yuyixi said very enthusiastically: "Please come in quickly, Boss Wang. The large deposit certificate was not put away, but was deliberately placed on the desk." , as long as you are careful, you can see clearly. Sure enough, when they were talking, Wang Dashan's eyes glanced there from time to time, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

An hour later, Wang Dashan left with satisfaction, but Ye Yu received an agreement for a deposit of 50,000 taels of silver. When the money arrives tomorrow, he will sign a formal deposit agreement and issue a deposit receipt.

Although the first business was not very big, it was a good start. Ye Yu believed that soon, the money accumulated by Rising Sun Bank would be a terrifying amount, enough to support Liang Yong's large-scale construction tasks.

At this time, Rising Sun Bank was not conducting external loan business. The funds it had absorbed were not enough to be used in the construction of the military industrial group, and there was no need to earn interest on the loans.

Three days later, the Rising Sun Department Store officially opened.

The day before, promotional posters for the big market were plastered all over the city. Posters were posted even in nearby populated towns. Colorful flags were flying in the central square in front of the big market. Several roads connecting the square were also lined with colorful flags. Workers They formed a dragon and lion dance team, a waist drum team, and a publicity phalanx carrying giant billboards. They started beating gongs and drums along the street to promote the event at six o'clock in the morning.

This is the first time such a grand occasion has happened in Qizhou Island. In the past, the New Year celebrations were not half as lively as this. All the residents in the city rushed to the streets, dressed in festive costumes, dragging their families and neighbors along with them. Not to mention how happy they were. , which made the workers at work lose their thoughts. Many people asked for leave in the first few days, and few people were willing to go to work. Affected by this, many factories were forced to take a day off, so that everyone could take to the streets to party together.

This city with a population of one million was in complete excitement on this day. People poured into the streets, played in the central square, and lined up to enter the department store market to visit and shop. People’s enthusiasm for consumption was completely stimulated. Thousands of products here can satisfy different classes of people. The needs of customers include rich people buying luxury handicrafts and expensive clothes, middle-class people buying furniture, tableware and other long-awaited daily necessities. Poor people also have choices, bringing their children in to buy a few candy wrappers or biscuits for only a few copper coins. It's something that can make children extremely happy.

Originally, Liang Yong was planning to set up a counter for discounts and promotions, but there were crowds of people early in the morning, and people's enthusiasm for shopping could not be stopped at all, so there was no need. You must know that this move of his has gone through several times in modern society. It has evolved from hundreds of years of business experience, which is too advanced for the people here. Just this publicity and lively scene will make everyone crazy. Even if the top-quality products are sold at a high price, there will be people buying them.

By morning, the market was no longer manned. Millions of people poured into the streets. Even if one tenth of the people entered the market to shop, the goods here were not enough for everyone to grab. In less than two hours, there was a shortage of goods. Must stock up quickly.

It was too late to rely on the waitresses. Liang used a big wave of his hand to pull back the workers who were performing on the street. Only three squadrons, including the dragon dance, lion dance and waist drum team, were left to continue performing in the square. The other seven squadrons were immediately transferred to the logistics. At work, under the leadership of the buyers, they scanned the goods in the stores of various bosses and urgently transported them for sale.

All the shops were busy at once, enjoying the shopping carnival season brought by the big market. Those merchants who signed supply contracts with the market set their own prices. When the goods are sold in the market, the property rights and profits still belong to the merchants. The market only Taking 20% ​​of the turnover, they still made a lot of money.

The goods that Liang Yong purchased by himself were not so good. For items that were retailed for one tael of silver, their purchase price was at most half a tael of silver. If they resold them, the profit would be doubled. This made these bosses regret it. If I had known earlier, I would have signed a contract with Liang Yong and sold the products directly to the market. This would have made me 30% more profit. One day's income is equivalent to the total profit of the previous months or even half a year.

The market closed at eight o'clock in the evening. At nine o'clock, the day's sales statistics were calculated, and the total sales volume was as high as one million taels of gold. Even based on a profit of 20%, Liang Yong also earned 200,000 taels of gold. This number is too terrifying. The accounting clerks exclaimed miracles, and more importantly, in just one day, the reputation of Xuri Market has spread, not only in the city, but will soon spread from the city to the entire Qizhou Island. Anyone who comes to the city will come here. Visiting and shopping will bring continuous economic benefits.
