The last time Fang Chen and Zhao Sen met, Zhao Sen took out 400,000 taels of silver notes, which were from Wancai Bank.
By analyzing many things together, we can judge some things from small details.
Fang Chen was testing, while Shen Wancai smiled calmly, "Master Fang, you are really awesome, that's right. The person behind Master Zhao and I is indeed the same person."
Since it was guessed, Shen Wancai admitted it.
After Fang Chen got the confirmation, he was still very surprised, "Zhuang Master Shen, I want to meet with your boss behind the scenes, and I have very important things to discuss with him."
Shen Wancai said: "Master Fang, I just said that the time has not come yet. If you have anything, you can tell me directly and I can send a message."
Fang Chen shook his head gently, "No, this matter can only be discussed with your boss alone. It is extremely important. Neither sending a message nor writing a letter will work. Please tell your boss what I said."
In the end, Shen Wancai agreed. He was only responsible for passing on the message. He could not guarantee whether the boss would agree or not.
Then, Shen Wancai left.
Fang Chen had a busy day today, and it was already late at night.
The Minister of Hubu and all the officials of the Hubu did not rest, they were waiting for Fang Chen.
Seeing that Fang Chen had finally finished meeting his guests, everyone gathered around and told him what happened at the bank today.
Today, a total of tens of thousands of people came to the bank to deposit money. The staff of the bank were busy all day. The Ministry of Revenue hired hundreds of people to help, and there were thousands of people patrolling the camp to maintain order.
Now only half of the people have saved their money, and a large number of people are asking them to go back first and come back tomorrow.
Most of the people who save money are ordinary people, and there are some ordinary merchants. There are currently no big merchants. Most ordinary people save a few taels of silver, and very few save more than ten taels.
Of course, some people also take tens of taels of money to deposit, but there are very few such people. The money is too small and they are embarrassed to take it. Small merchants also only have dozens of taels, and the most are only two or three hundred taels. .
The total of these silvers already amounts to tens of thousands taels. And this is just the result of one day. As time goes by, more silver will definitely come in every day.
Fang Chen said: "Thank you for your hard work. It seems that I have recruited a lot of staff in the past ten days, but the number is still too small. I will recruit more people tomorrow and then open branches in various cities in the imperial capital. Of course, we must do it step by step and slowly Don't be too anxious. And our staff will ask customers to make time deposits as much as possible. This way, the interest rate is high, and it is convenient for us to use the money for investment."
The smaller the demand deposits are, the better. Of course, if ordinary people don’t use money, they will definitely keep their money here, mostly on a regular basis.
And those who do business will definitely use money frequently. They will save part of it on a regular basis and part of it on demand. Fang Chen has thought about it and told everyone all the details.
After arranging everything, Fang Chen went to rest.
…
Chamber of Commerce Alliance Headquarters.
In the hall, Bai Yongliang slammed the tea cup on the table to the ground to vent his dissatisfaction. Below the hall were more than fifty bosses of banks and chambers of commerce.
These people are all prominent figures in the imperial capital. The death of Song Yanji, the president of the alliance, was a huge blow to them!
Fang Chen is already riding on their heads, showing off his power!
"President Bai, now that President Song is dead, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance is leaderless. It is better for President Bai to take over and become the president!"
"Fang Chen has gone too far to bully others. This time the imperial court really wants to suppress us completely. We can't give up just yet. We must avenge President Song. We must make it impossible for Dayan Bank to survive!"
"President Bai, you will lead us from now on, and we will join hands to boycott Dayan Bank. We will join forces with all the bank and chamber of commerce in major cities to boycott it comprehensively. We must not let Fang Chen's conspiracy succeed!"
"Everyone hopes that Fang Chen will go bankrupt, but now in just one day, Fang Chen's bank has injected a large amount of funds, and there is also the comprehensive cooperation of Wancai Bank, and there is even more support from the court behind it. If this continues to develop, I'm afraid we will I can’t resist it…”
"President Bai, please think of a solution quickly..."
Although the president of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was Song Yanji in the past, the real boss behind it was Bai Yongliang. Now that Song Yanji has fallen, only Bai Yongliang has taken over in person.
Everyone supports Bai Yongliang very much.
Shen Wancai of Wancai Bank used to be a member of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and he always followed the rules, because Wancai Bank has been in business for hundreds of years, its reputation has always been number one, and it is somewhat close to the imperial court.
It can be said that in the Chamber of Commerce, Wancai Bank is in a neutral state. No one expected that this time it would suddenly side with Fang Chen and fully invest in it. This surprised everyone.
Soon, someone came up with a plan, "Today Fang Chen killed Song Yanji, and tomorrow we will find someone to start a full-scale march. We will publicize Fang Chen's murder and the court's suppression of us. First, use the power of public agitation to suppress Fang Chen, Suppress Dayan Bank!"
However, this method soon encountered opposition from some people. Now Fang Chen's reputation is at its peak, and he is a disciple of the legendary saint Gui Guzi. His words are like imperial edicts, and the common people regard Fang Chen as a god.
Even if Fang Chen killed Song Yanji, it was justified and he deserved his death. People would definitely believe Fang Chen. If he used the power of public opinion to deal with Fang Chen, he would be shooting himself in the foot.
Public opinion won't work, let alone force. That's because the imperial court is behind it, and Fang Chen is in a high position.
So what method is used now?
Everyone discussed it for a long time, but there was no good solution.
And Bai Yongliang suddenly had a plan, "Everyone, be quiet. Everyone here is worth at least one million. Let's all join hands and put all the available money in Fang Chen's bank. Just the daily income Interest is a large expense. We save all the money on demand. It can be withdrawn at any time and used at any time, but we don’t need it yet!”
"Then we tried to use other means to throw a lot of olive branches to Fang Chen and let Fang Chen use our money to invest in various businesses. When Fang Chen spent all the money and there was no profit, then we Take the banknote and go to Fang Chen to get the money."
"If Fang Chen cannot provide the money, then his bank will completely lose its credibility. Once a bank without credibility will face bankruptcy. And Fang Chen will also lose all reputation and status, and lose everything. Yanqianzhuang will be destroyed without attack!"
After everyone heard this plan, their eyes lit up, but some people soon had doubts, "There is support from the imperial court behind Dayan Bank, and there is a treasury behind the imperial court, so this trick may not work!"
"Can all of us put together enough money to make the national treasury rich?"
