In addition to the fact that cash can be used for retail and some wholesale and small-amount purchases, they have begun to adopt a "note-based" settlement model for payment delivery with upstream and downstream major customers.
In this way, what Zhang Yu's father, the legal person of Zhangji Food Company, sees when it comes to "money" is bills. One of his main tasks every day is to stamp and sign, and watch the bills come in one by one.
, went out one after another, which made Zhang Yu's father, who had been playing with silver and copper coins for decades, feel a serious sense of insecurity.
Privately, I can't help but argue with his precious son - can I trust this Australian's story?
The issuance of new coins is an important measure for the Senate to govern in Guangzhou, and the public opinion network in charge of Qin Yuan will naturally make corresponding arrangements. In particular, Zhang Yu himself is also from a merchant family, so he naturally has more say.
This is more complicated than just talking about "gossip". Not only must it be "publicized", but also "persuaded" to others. Zhang Yu thought that it would not be enough to just say what he said in the weekly public opinion training, but there must be something more
Persuasive words will do.
"Boss He, I don't dare to say whether the Song Dynasty's treasure banknotes are reliable," Zhang Yuwei said, "but do you always think that Australians are reliable in doing things?"
"This is indeed not mentioned." Boss He nodded, "Although I am a small businessman and have never done any business with Australians, I have heard from others that Australians are the most trustworthy in business. They do not bully others and do not default on payment.
Secondary charge is good.”
"That's it." Zhang Yu knew that the owner of this teahouse actually had a good impression of Australians, because it was close to Chengxuan Street, where the government servants in the government office, the servants of wealthy families, and all kinds of people clinging to these people
Foxes and rats from Zhongcheng often come in and out of this place. He is not a person with a big door to back him up, so he will inevitably be blackmailed by them. Sometimes he does not serve well, and even throws the bowl and smashes the table. He can only swallow his anger and greet them with a smile.
After the Australians arrived, the market suddenly cleared up. The police patrolled the streets and maintained public order. Not only did the urban foxes and rats dare not disturb them, but the Australians' own servants also paid the price when they came to the shop to drink tea.
There is no such thing as eating and shouting "accounting" before leaving. For this reason, Boss He also raised his thumb for a long time.
With such a foundation, it is not too difficult to persuade. Just start with the good deeds and virtues of Australians.
"...You think about it, Australians are people who value trust and justice, how can they cheat on this money matter and ruin their reputation?" Zhang Yu said, "If Australians ask for money, Guangzhou is their world.
"We only need to enter the city for three days, but we can't get as much gold and silver as we need, so why use such means to make money?"
Boss He seemed to be somewhat convinced, but after all, this was about money. The silver and copper coins that he had been accustomed to for many years had now become a piece of paper. It was not something that could be explained in a few simple words.
"Furthermore, negotiable coupons have been circulating in Qiongzhou Prefecture for a long time, and they were occasionally seen in Guangzhou in the past. Although they are not widely used locally, they have been circulated in Qiongzhou for many years, and I have never heard of them becoming a piece of waste paper.
There are a lot of people in the city who have gone to Lingao to do business - you must have heard of it."
Shopkeeper He did indeed hear many tea drinkers talk about the "Australian Voucher", but at that time he only heard it as an anecdote. He never thought that one day Australians would use it in Guangzhou. It was true that there was no such thing. People say that there is a problem with negotiable certificates - in the past, people who went to business had to exchange their silver for negotiable certificates when they left, but they had never heard of any difficulty in exchanging silver back for their currency when they left. He was a little embarrassed. When he said that, he nodded slightly.
"Besides, how much money can a small businessman like us get? After a busy day, in addition to some scattered silver, what we receive is not only various kinds of copper coins - tell me, these copper coins How can it be more valuable than Australian currency notes?"
This is very important. Although the Ming Dynasty did not have such a saying as "bad money drives out good money", this law is already effective in the market. Almost all the copper coins that people use for spending are thin and light, and they will fall off if they fall. Bad coins will even be broken in half on the ground, and it is rare to see good money in sufficient quantity.
To say that this kind of copper coin has any value, it is better to talk about the trust that has been formed by making money for many years - everyone recognizes that it is a kind of "money".
Neither Zhang Yu nor Shopkeeper He understands the definition of currency, but these simple principles are not incomprehensible.
"...Besides, shopkeeper He, didn't you also make tea chips when you were tight in the past, changing money for tea patrons, and paying bills for noodle shops and vegetable vendors? What do you think your bamboo chips are worth? You can't rely on that. The credit you have accumulated from running a store here for many years!"
Shopkeeper He slapped his thigh: "Ah Yu, I understand! After all, this Australian treasure banknote is good for making money. Everyone can use it because of their trust!"
"Exactly." Zhang Yu nodded and said, "No one can stand without trust. Who is the most trustworthy in the world today?"
He Zhang couldn't help but sigh: "A'yu, what you said makes sense. You have read the book after all, so you can see it clearly."
"Where, where," Zhang Yu said modestly, "this is my little knowledge. Besides, the auxiliary currency notes can also be exchanged for silver dollars. You are really worried. You have collected a thousand cash notes to exchange for silver dollars. That’s it? You should feel relieved holding the silver dollar, right?"
"Exactly, exactly," Shopkeeper He nodded repeatedly, "Why didn't I think of it! It was clearly written on the redemption notice, but I was really confused! Now I feel relieved."
Zhang Yu saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye and came out. He saw that Zeng Juan was already outside giving a lecture on the social life section's continuous report: "The Disappearance of the Ming Dynasty Girl".
Although the case of the Maojia Inn was solved because of the pursuit of the whereabouts of the Ming woman, the Ming woman case itself did not have much criminal investigation content, but it had great social significance. Minister Ding believed that this was an opportunity to publicize the superiority of the Senate system and expose the Ming Dynasty. It is a perfect subject for the dark atrocities of human trafficking, and they are planning to turn the case of the missing girl into the "Missing Madeleine Case" of the 17th century. The propaganda department used this to launch a special promotion with great fanfare to highlight the common people "enjoying peace" under the rule of the senators. , "have human rights".
So the report on this case turned into a long series of reports under the planning of several writers from the publicity department.
Wen Desi, who rarely appeared in public in Guangzhou, also wrote and published an article titled "Every child is a child of the Senate" in the "Yangcheng Express", adding fuel to the fire for the entire news propaganda.
After being exaggerated by a long newspaper report, the missing case of Ming Nu became a hot topic on the streets of Guangzhou - if it weren't for the fact that the Maojia Inn case was so shocking, seizing the tea house would be the number one topic.
Seeing Zeng Juanzheng reading the newspaper with his head shaking, he was talking about Gao Chongjiu and Li Ziyu going to the tea house to investigate the "bitter talk", but Mingnu's parents still refused to tell her whereabouts. Unconsciously, she smiled, Ayu was now prosperous
Yes, it was all in the newspapers! Thinking of this, he was sincerely happy for his little friend.
At this moment, in the "lounge" of the general manager's office suite in Guangzhou's Ziming Building, Pei Lixiu was wearing a hollow silk pajamas, half-lying and half-lying on a leather sofa, with her breasts half exposed and a pair of
Lazy look.
She had not recovered from the alcohol at the noon banquet. Pei Lixiucai came back from Lingao. Shortly after the liberation of Guangzhou, she was recalled to Lingao. She had a suspicious relationship with the naturalized staff at Guangzhou Station.
Statements such as "Chief Pei was recalled to face charges" and "has been imprisoned" are completely irrelevant. She actually went back to discuss with Li Mei, who was in charge of business affairs, the specific plan for Ziminglou to be reorganized into Ziminglou Entertainment Co., Ltd.
of.
Ziminglou has been in Guangzhou for many years, and has carved a new path in the traditional business with "Australian style enjoyment", becoming the enterprise with the most generous profit margins in Guangzhou Station. The huge prospects of this "smoke-free industry" will naturally not
It was ignored by the commerce department. Considering that the potential customer base faced by just a "leisure club" was too narrow, after several considerations, Minister of Commerce Li Mei proposed to use Ziminglou as the leading enterprise to establish a comprehensive entertainment company. At the same time,
We also need to develop chain operations.
During the few months she was in Lingao, she worked non-stop, running around departments, discussing cooperation, asking for policies, talking to designers, going to factories to look at samples... She was determined to make Ziminglou even better.
Expanding the scope of business and opening chain stores require a lot of investment. Of course, it is impossible to rely on financial allocations. Fortunately, Guangzhou is carrying out a large-scale rectification of the custom industry. It turns out that government buildings are enemy properties, so they will naturally be confiscated. The custom industry
In the process of purges, it is inevitable to "kill tigers" to establish examples and establish prestige. These "big tigers" are finished, and the remaining industries can also be taken over. Not to mention that there are ready-made human resources...
It was under such circumstances that Pei Lixiu hurriedly returned to Guangzhou from Lingao and officially started her work.
At this time, she had been officially appointed as the general manager of Ziminglou and the representative of the Senate. Pei Lixiu had no complaints about her appointment as general manager. Minglang and Li Mei originally thought that she would be better off just becoming the general manager of a state-owned enterprise after Guangzhou was restored.
Disappointed - after all, Zheng Shangjie has become the director of Guangzhou's Commerce Bureau.
However, Pei Lixiu doesn't see it that way. She is satisfied to be able to return to Ziminglou to take charge of the work. Her political ambitions are limited and she knows where her abilities lie. Besides, she is more familiar with Guangzhou than Lingao. Ziminglou is not only her career
The place where she started embodies a lot of her hard work. It is also her main link in external social relations... As the largest city in the south, Guangzhou's heritage is different from that of the nouveau riche in Lingao. Some of the indigenous upstarts in Lingao can often make people...
Pei Lixiu rolled her eyes to the back of her head. It was the young master from an aristocratic family in Guangzhou who was more popular with Pei Lixiu. (To be continued.)
