Chapter 261: The First Ceremony Before the Soldiers!
Businessmen pursue profits.
Even if you talk about one thousand or ten thousand, even if you talk about it, it is far less effective than real and real interest!
Liu Ruyi poured some water into the tea cup and wrote a few big characters on the table with her fingers using the water stains.
Mr. Chen's eyes widened. After seeing the handwriting clearly, he was slightly startled, but soon he returned to the way he had been listening to the book without saying a word.
"Mr. Chen, what's the matter? The Fang family only gives you one and a half cents, and our Great China Development Bank gives you one and a half cents. Isn't this interesting enough? Mr. Chen, you can't be too greedy!" Liu Ruyi
Before he could speak, Liu Hanyi was already angry. She wanted to rush forward, tear off Mr. Chen's clothes, and question him loudly.
Mr. Chen was not intimidated by Liu Hanyi's ferocious appearance. He turned to look at Liu Ruyi and said with a smile: "General Liu, what's wrong? Are you two here to buy and sell by force today?"
Liu Ruyi waved his hand, signaling Liu Hanyi to step aside first, stood up, and cupped his hands to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen is joking. Although Ruyi is a rough man, he also knows the rules! Ruyi has done his best with this interest.
Work hard, Mr. Chen must also know that those Shanxi old men will only give you this amount at most! If they give you more, I dare say, you will never dare to ask for it, right? Haha!"
One cent and a half, in fact, has reached 1.5%. If calculated based on the principal of one hundred thousand taels of silver, the monthly interest has been as high as one thousand five hundred taels, which is basically the same as the interest rate of later generations of loans, but
You know, the interest rate that banks in later generations used to absorb depositors' funds was only three thousandths!
Mr. Chen frowned slightly, but there was a hint of cunning in his little eyes. He smiled and said: "General Liu, it is true that your interest rate is two cents higher, but you are not from the shopping mall after all! The Huaibei family has been passed down for more than ten generations.
With many years of credibility, I am obviously much more reliable than you!"
"Haha! That's what Mr. Chen said!" Liu Ruyi smiled, but stared straight into Mr. Chen's eyes, as if she wanted to see through the old man's heart!
'This old guy has made it clear that he just wants to raise the price, but that's fine. As long as he is greedy, the next thing will be much easier!'
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyi calmed down her aura and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, the Fang family has been standing for a hundred years and has a great business. This is true, but you have forgotten one thing!"
"Huh?" Mr. Chen was stunned and glanced at Liu Ruyi in confusion!
Liu Ruyi smiled, took off the sword from his waist and put it on the table, "Without me, Liu Ruyi, Mr. Chen, it would be impossible for you to sit here and drink Kung Fu tea in peace, right? Haha! As long as you deposit the money to
Our Great China Development Bank, I can now guarantee that as long as Mr. Chen’s business is in Shandong, I can guarantee its safety! Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Mr. Chen obviously did not expect Liu Ruyi to be so straightforward. After all, he is just a businessman, and he is an expert at playing tricks on businessmen. But if it really comes to the table, when it comes to the general trend of the time, he is obviously a little bit behind.
Not available!
"I still need to think carefully about this matter. General Liu, can you give me a few days?" Mr. Chen's words have clearly relaxed a lot!
"Do you still need to think about this? Don't you trust our brothers? You..."
Liu Hanyi still wanted to get angry, but Liu Ruyi stopped him behind him, cupped his hands to Mr. Chen and said, "That's great! Then Ruyi will leave first!"
Liu Ruyi pulled Liu Hanyi and walked out. However, just as she reached the door, Liu Ruyi suddenly turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, you only have ten days! After that, there will be no such preferential treatment!"
Mr. Chen was startled, but still did not speak!
Walking out of the gate of Chen's house, Liu Hanyi said with great dissatisfaction: "Ruyi, why are you so polite to this old bastard? These bastards are just bullies who are afraid of the strong! If it doesn't work, we won't be able to be cruel!"
After Liu Hanyi finished speaking, he punched an old tree nearby so hard that his fists bled!
Liu Ruyi's face was also a little cold, and she explained in a low voice: "Brother, you must not be anxious about this kind of thing! With our current strength, if we want to gain a firm foothold in Jinan City, we can't do it without their support!"
"But this damn person is so aggrieved! Ruyi, can we do this?" Liu Hanyi was still a little angry!
"Haha, a little impatience leads to a big plan! Can you commit a crime or not? Brother, you will know later! Let's go to the next house!" After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he got on his horse and walked straight ahead!
"Hey~~!" Liu Hanyi let out a sigh of relief, but had no choice but to follow Liu Ruyi quickly!
……………………
In the next three days, Liu Ruyi and Liu Hanyi visited almost all the wealthy gentry who could be ranked in Jinan City, except Zhang Laocai, the big shopkeeper of Jibei Commercial Bank, who happily took out another hundred thousand taels and deposited them into a large bank account.
Except for Hua Xia Development Bank, the rest are just waiting and watching without taking any actual action!
The white horse passes by, and time flies by. March has entered in a blink of an eye, and the weather has gradually become a lot warmer!
Early in the morning, Liu Ruyi gathered five hundred elite soldiers and took Xiao Liuer and Liu Hanyi to the headquarters of the Great China Development Bank located in the middle of Minghu Road!
This was originally the headquarters of Liu's bank. The main body consists of a three-story wooden building. The terrain is open and majestic, especially underground. The Liu family has built a huge and solid warehouse to store cash!
After Liu Ruyi took over, he re-renovated the three-story pavilion. The first floor is mainly responsible for receiving retail investors and ordinary people. The second floor is relatively high-end and mainly caters to wealthy businessmen in Jinan City and surrounding areas. The third floor is for
It is a completely secret space, no one knows what Liu Ruyi will use it for!
A huge plaque about twenty meters high has been erected at the door, with several large characters inlaid with gold on it, 'Great China Development Bank!' On both sides of the foyer, two huge stone lions nearly five meters high, with mouths
The 'Golden Pearl' is so vivid that it looks like a unicorn descending from the earth!
The waiters who were originally serving tea and running errands were replaced by young girls. There were more than twenty of them in total, smiling and arranged in two rows. Although the weather was still a bit cold, they only wore silk cheongsams with slits.
Revealing a piece of white thigh!
"Laogui welcomes the general to inspect!" Laogui has been appointed by Liu Ruyi as the executive manager of the Great China Development Bank. He is also responsible for the preparation and decoration during these days!
"The servants are waiting to welcome the general!" Dozens of young girls also saluted at the same time, and there was a sudden burst of birdsong and a fragrant breeze!
Some soldiers in the back were dumbfounded. How had they ever seen such a scene? If it weren't for strict military discipline, they would have come forward to see what was new!
Liu Ruyi looked around with a smile and nodded slightly, "Uncle Gui, you did a good job, thank you for your hard work!"
"Everything depends on the general's command, but Laogui doesn't dare to take credit!" Laogui was overjoyed. These days, he had racked his brains in order to meet Liu Ruyi's request. Now when he heard Liu Ruyi's satisfactory reply,
He finally breathed a sigh of relief!
"Sisters, thank you for your hard work! Haha, do your best! Liu will definitely not treat you badly!" Liu Ruyi smiled and said hello to this group of young girls!
Don't underestimate this group of women. They are all the children of military men from Caishi Town. Not only are they all beautiful, but most of them are literate. In order to invite them to come out, Liu Ruyi also spent a lot of effort! However,
, their salary is also terrifyingly high. The monthly salary alone reaches three to five yuan, which is much higher than that of a soldier. This does not include the year-end bonus!
"My servants are willing to serve the general!" Most of these military men and women have heard of Liu Ruyi's name, but this is probably the first time they have seen a real person. They all looked at the young man curiously. If they were not in public,
Afterwards, they even came up to ask for help!
Who girl doesn't have sexual dreams? In the late Ming Dynasty, women's culture has become somewhat open, and with Liu Ruyi's name, it's not a cover-up!
However, Liu Ruyi had no intention of caring about these daughters at this time. He looked around at everything around him and made some suggestions to Lao Gui from time to time. Lao Gui kept nodding his head and promised to perfect it as soon as possible!
After everyone had turned around, Liu Ruyi returned to the door and said to everyone: "Everyone, our Greater China Development Bank officially opened today! I don't need to say more! You have been trained.
, you should know it by heart! You are all my brothers and sisters, Liu Ruyi, and you all know who I am, Liu Ruyi! From now on, if you do well, I, Liu Ruyi, will not hesitate to reward you, but if there is any
If you want to goof off, don’t blame me, Liu, for ignoring your parents’ feelings! Do you understand me?”
"I understand!"
"Louder!"
"I understand!"
"Very good!" Liu Ruyi nodded with satisfaction. The first bank with modern functions in the Ming Dynasty was finally completed in his own hands. "Come here, play seven rings! Great China Development Bank is officially opened~
~~!”
"yes!"
Accompanied by the roar of cannons, Liu Ruyi led everyone and slowly entered the hall on the first floor!
The beautiful waitress served fragrant tea, Liu Ruyi sat down on the soft couch on the side of the hall, and Lao Gui gingerly reported to Liu Ruyi the storage situation in the past few days!
"Young Master, since you visited Jinan Haoqiang that day, in the past ten days, our Great China Development Bank has received a total of 230,000 taels of silver notes and cash, except for Mr. Chen from Minghu Restaurant who came to deposit 50,000 taels.
Two, the rest, the rest of the wealthy families, there is still no news yet!"
Liu Ruyi frowned, "How long until the ultimatum?"
"Here, by noon today!" Lao Gui said hurriedly.
Liu Ruyi nodded, but remained silent!
Liu Hanyi couldn't sit still, "Ruyi, these bastards are bullying people too much, we can't tolerate it anymore!"
"Brother, please be patient! Let's sit here and wait until noon to talk!" Liu Ruyi's face remained as usual, with no signs of trouble, and she drank Kung Fu tea with great interest!
Although Liu Hanyi was sulky, she had no choice but to sit aside and continue to be sulky!
But from morning to noon, except for dozens of scattered retail investors who came to deposit money, not a single hair of wealthy businessmen from all walks of life in Jinan City was seen!
Liu Hanyi was already lying on the soft couch and fell asleep, but Liu Ruyi stood up slowly, with a cold look in his eyes, 'Since these bastards don't give me face, then don't blame me for not giving you face!'
