Chapter fifty-fifth opening storm (3)
Kong Jian'an quickly calmed down, adjusted his mentality, and reexamined Yi Zhizu. Although this big shopkeeper of Yuanqi Bank was young and lacked the management experience of money houses, his vision, mind, courage, and courage were not comparable to him. He would not be able to accept it. If he were himself, he would definitely not have the courage to be enemies with all the money houses in Guangzhou, and he would not dare to have the idea of being above the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, nor would he dare to give away 100,000 oceans!
He was really unimaginable. If Yuanqi Bank could survive, what would it look like? All pawn shops, money shops, seal offices, and exchange stores in Guangzhou City would probably disappear completely, even if the capital and deep roots of the bills disappeared most of them.
After pondering for a long time, Kong Jian'an spoke, "The big shopkeeper's structure is not as big as it can be, but..." He lowered his voice and said, "Old people have always been insatiable. Yuanqi Bank can value gifts and bribes. Will the bill money house and bank guild in Guangzhou City not value gifts and bribes?"
"Shopkeeper Kong doesn't need to worry." Yi Zhizu said confidently: "It's just a pile of loose sand, not worth worrying. And even if they value gifts and bribes, I'm sure to let the Governor firmly support Yuanqi Bank."
Seeing that he was so sure, Kong Jian'an was skeptical, but he didn't want to ask more questions. He immediately bowed and said, "There is a big shopkeeper in charge of the general account. Let's go down and take a look at the semi-colon."
Yi Zhizu nodded and said, "In this situation, the shopkeepers of the semi-colons below are inevitably unsure. Go and comfort them and tell them that Yuanqi Bank has thirteen banks as their backing and the government supports them, so don't worry."
When Kong Jian'an was about to leave, Yi Shizuo let out a light whistle and walked slowly in the room, his steps slow and heavy, just like his mood. He was calm and confident just now, that was to stabilize Kong Jian'an, but in fact he was also up and down and nervous.
He knew very well that he was playing with fire and fighting against the enemy. This was a forced move. One was that he had no time to develop slowly and progress step by step. Moreover, it was the most important thing. Yuanqi Bank was originally an alien and would not be accommodated by the bill houses and pawn shops and seal offices in Guangzhou and Xiguan. Once established and opened, both parties would be in a state of water and fire.
He must sweep the financial market in Guangzhou in one fell swoop and form a dominant situation. Only in this way can Yuanqi Bank gain a foothold and quickly open up the situation, otherwise it will be a dead end.
In order to win the first battle of opening Yuanqi Bank, he deceived almost everyone. He printed two small advertising leaflets for Yuanqi Bank. The leaflets printed by Pan Shiming were just to promote the low-interest promotion of small deposits, in order to hide the truth.
On Wu Bingjian's side, he sealed the leaflet in the envelope half an hour before distributing the leaflet and asked Wu Changqing to take the bank ticket to see Wu Bingjian. He was not worried about Wu Bingjian at all. As long as Wu Bingjian saw the leaflets of Yuanqi Bank and the reasons listed in his letter, he would definitely try his best to deal with the Yuanqi Bank.
It is noon now and Wu Changqing has not come back, which means Wu Bingjian has set off to the Governor General's Office. Now it depends on the attitude of the Governor General Deng Tingzhen of Guangdong and Guangxi. If he does not receive his support, Yuanqi Bank is likely to be the shortest-lived bank in the history of the Qing Dynasty. He will have to close down after one day of opening.
One hundred thousand oceans is indeed not a decimal, but in the eyes of Deng Tingzhen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, it is not a big deal. Yi Zhizu did not dare to expect Deng Tingzhen to leave the Yuanqi Bank alone for the sake of the one hundred thousand oceans and watch a large-scale run in Guangzhou. What he hoped was that the reasons listed could impress Deng Tingzhen.
He had sufficient reasons to draw the list, but Deng Tingzhen needed to have enough courage! This was a big bet, and he won, and from then on, the sky was wide and he lost. He probably had no place to stand in the Thirteenth League, Xiguan and Guangzhou.
Xirong Lane, Bank Mansion.
The bank mansion, which has always been quiet and solemn, has now become a market in the market. It is all the shopkeepers of the bill money house and the pawn shop seal office. The shopkeepers all looked anxious. While talking in a low voice, they stared at the door of the mansion's conference hall.
The meeting hall was filled with people, but it was very quiet. Everyone looked at Liang Jiemin, the president of the Banking Association sitting high on the main seat, who was respected and nearly fifty-year-old.
After a long silence, Liang Jiemin spoke: "Who opened Yuanqi Bank? You should all understand in your heart. You also know the situation of Thirteen Banks. Now they are posing as a stalemate. We are preparing for both hands. One way to notify Nanhai and Panyu County Governments, saying that Yuanqi Bank is maliciously competing and disrupting the market. I beg you to ban all Yuanqi Bank semicolons.
Although the Thirteenth Bank is no longer the same, it still monopolizes the foreign trade of the Qing Dynasty. They will give them a little decent deposit. I will go to the Yuanqi Bank’s general account and ask it to close the door. They will take out some meeting gifts. You can discuss it and raise 10 million yuan to lend it to the Thirteenth Bank. According to the rules set by the Yuanqi Bank, one-to-five-minute interest rate."
As soon as the words were finished, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and someone immediately said: "President Liang, the Thirteenth Bank wants to borrow low interest rates, so we can discuss with us. Indulge the younger generation to act arbitrarily, break our bank rules and disrupt the market. We will not punish us severely, but will borrow tens of millions of yuan at low interest rates. If this is to be spread, it will not only damage the reputation of the bank mansion, but also have no shame to see people when the shopkeeper of our Guangzhou billboard is out."
Liang Jiemin glanced at him, turned his head and ordered, "Liao Kai, Shixin, you two go to Nanhai and Panyu County Governments first, and ask them to investigate the Yuanqi Bank semi-colon."
After giving the order, he glanced at everyone and said, "Why should I borrow tens of millions of yuan from the 13th Bank? Due to the situation! As the British East India Company withdraws from the trade in Guangzhou, the 13th Bank's situation is getting more and more difficult. In the past, some merchants went bankrupt and some were willing to join merchants, but in this situation, who is willing to become merchants? The Qing Dynasty cannot lose merchants, right?"
"President Liang, the Wu family and Pan family are not without money, so why should we meddle in other people's business?"
"Why isn't there anyone who understands it?" Liang Jiemin raised his voice and said: "Xingtai Bank owes more than 2 million foreign businessmen. Now it is being checked and the bankruptcy is about to go bankrupt. The Thirteenth Bank hurriedly fiddled with a Yuanqi Bank. This is self-rescue! If we do not borrow at a low interest rate, the government may turn a blind eye to Yuanqi Bank. What is the consequence?"
