Chapter 27 Looking at the Silver Master

Seeing that Wu Bingjian was acting like a irrelevant attitude, Yi Zhizu was a little confused about the other party's intentions for a while, Wu Changqing proposed to invest, which was obviously an impulse. Wu Bingjian let this go, what does it mean?

The Wu family is optimistic about the prospects of the Tianbao Watch Factory and really wants to invest. This seems to make no sense. Just by just making a fool of himself, he decided to invest in the stock. Even if the money is willful, it is not such a willful method. Especially Wu Bingjian, he should not be the willful master. It seems that there are other reasons.

Yi Zhizu picked up the teacup and sipped it a few times, but he didn't have the time to think carefully. The Wu family's grandfather and grandson were waiting for him to reply. Although he was unwilling to sell the shares of the Tianbao Watch Factory, the benefits of having the Wu family invested were obvious. In addition, the Wu family expressed his strong support for the research on Xinyixue and foreign species invasion and ecological balance, but he was not willing to refuse it at once. However, even if he wanted to sell the shares of the Tianbao Watch Factory, he could not sell it at a low price.

After weighing it quickly, he looked at Wu Changqing with a serious face and said, "Tianbao Watch Factory is the first factory I founded. The pocket watches and watches produced will be popular all over the world, with great development potential and extremely high profits, and can guarantee that it can dominate the world's watch industry within at least a hundred years. How much money are you willing to pay for 10% of the shares? Or you can buy five cents."

After hearing this, Wu Changqing couldn't help but stare at Wu Bingjian for help. He really didn't know how much the price should be paid. He was really scared by Yi Jingzu's words. He was popular all over the world and guaranteed to dominate the world's watch industry for a hundred years. What is this concept? Why should he guarantee it? Where did he come from his confidence? Why should he believe it?

Wu Bingjian was also stunned when he heard this. The first thought was that this kid was extorting again, but he realized it was unlikely that he would be. This little guy was extremely smart and meticulous. The Wu family invested in the Tianbao Watch Factory, which was a good thing for him and Xingtaixing. Even if he didn't appreciate it, there would be no way to extort them in the investment.

There are only two possibilities. One is that the watch factory is likely to be built to save Xingtai. It is just a cover. He is unwilling to drag Changqing down. The other is that Yi Zhizu is really confident in the watch factory. His description of the watch factory is not a brag. Another thing is that he just mentioned the watch. What is a watch? A newly developed watch?

After pondering for a moment, Wu Bingjian said, "Celebrate has any research on clocks and watches?"

"My younger generations have had a strong interest in watches since childhood." Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "I have studied the structural parts of watches for many years and have many unique ideas and designs. Otherwise, why would I dare to boast that I can dominate the world's watch industry within a hundred years? As far as watchmaking technology is concerned, I dare to boast that no one in the world can stand shoulder to shoulder with me."

He was already very modest in his words. In terms of watchmaking technology, he was two hundred years ahead of the world and was familiar with the several upgrades of the main parts and structures of pocket watches. Tianbao Watch Factory can lead the watch industry in at least a hundred years.

But Wu Bingjian and Wu Changqing couldn't believe his words. Since Yizhi came to threaten the loan, the Wu family conducted a detailed investigation on him. He had never heard of him studying in a watch workshop. Can he learn to make watches without a teacher? Both of them were puzzled. Even if this guy bragged, there seemed to be no need to brag so outrageously?

After hesitating for a while, Wu Changqing said, "Since Brother Yi can make pocket watches, I think he should be able to repair them?"

The grandfather and grandson didn't believe him and wanted to verify it on the spot. Yi Zhizu said in a relaxed tone: "You need special tools to repair pocket watches. If the parts are damaged, you have to replace the parts. It will be much easier to repair the clock. If Changqing has a clock with a problem, you can bring it. I will repair it for you, which won't take much time."

"They really had a Zhong broken up and couldn't pretend to be the same." Wu Changqing smiled and said, "Since Brother Yi knows how to practice, I'll get it now." As he said that, he got up and walked away quickly.

Yi Zhizuo smiled indifferently, looked at Wu Bingjian, and said along the previous idea: "Everything is planned, and if it is not planned, it will be abolished. The court strictly enforces bans smoking, and the war between the Qing Dynasty and Britain broke out. These are all high-probability matters. I personally think that the thirteen industries should prepare for the future and make plans early. Once it is fulfilled, they will not be too late."

Prepare for the future? Wu Bingjian nodded lightly and said, "What do you think?"

Yi Zhizu did not answer directly, but asked an irrelevant question, "Pinghu Gong should be familiar with the profession of silver masters, right? Do you know how many silver masters are in Xiguan?"

Looking at the silver master is the one who identifies silver and money, also known as the silver master. This is an indispensable person in bulk trade. Whether Chinese and foreign merchants collect money, they should check the silver master for the authenticity and scale of the silver dollar. Even if it is a silver dollar transaction, the same is true, because the silver ingots and silver dollars circulating in the market in Guangzhou are of various types, of different colors and weights.

Another thing is that whether it is a silver ingot or a silver dollar, any one that has been inspected by the silver master will be stamped. If there is a problem, you can use the stamp to find the silver master to compensate.

Therefore, the more times the silver ingots are circulated, the more stamps they will be left. Over time, the weight of the silver ingots and silver ingots will become insufficient and may even be seriously deformed. Therefore, when trading in bulk silver and money, it is necessary to determine the authenticity, verify the quality, weigh the weight, and look at the silver master.

Wu Bingjian has been immersed in foreign trade all his life, so how could he not be familiar with the silver master? As for how many silver masters there are in Xiguan? He really doesn't know. There are not many. Chinese and foreign merchants have their own silver masters. He doesn't know why Yi Zhizu mentioned silver masters. After thinking about it, he said, "Don't go around in circles."

Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "I want to destroy Xiguan and even the entire Guangzhou City to see the job of the Silver Master."

Wu Bingjian said with a rare humor, "Do you have a grudge against Master Yin?"

"Pinghu Gong didn't realize that it would cost more than 10,000 yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan. Is it time-consuming, intensive and cost-effective to count hundreds of thousands of silver dollars?" Yi Zhizu said, resolutely and said: "I suggest that the Thirteenth Bank and British and American merchants start a commercial bank together. In this way, bulk transactions do not require silver and cash counting, but only transfers to the bank, or use the money tickets and checks issued by the bank to conduct transactions. Wouldn't it be much simpler and faster?"

"Commercial Bank?" Wu Bingjian muttered softly, and his fingers habitually began to knock on the armrest of the chair with a brisk and rhythmic rhythm. After a while, he asked softly: "Do you know the Guangzhou Financial Committee of the East India Company?"
