Chapter 1456: The World of Han Banners (146)

"King, I'll introduce these bosses from Jishi City to you. Look." Cao Wending bent down to Wang Jian humbly and whispered, as if he was a servant beside Wang Jian. Wang Jian always felt very good about this Cao Wending, and he always felt a little lack of confidence in facing a person like Cao Tiancheng. Now the ride-hailing horses completely control the transportation and transportation industry in Xinqin, and Cao Wending is the general agent of the ride-hailing horses in Xinqin. If he really wants to take up his status and the influence of the New Qin government, he is afraid that he will be more important than ordinary ministers, and his opinions will always be valued by Wang Jian.

But Cao Wending has always placed his position very well, as if he was really a beggar under Wang Jian's hands. This behavior really made Wang Jian very comfortable.

"You can have a happy conversation with Mr. Cao. You guys must be a man of great hands and eyes. You are just about to get to know each other!" Wang Jian said with a smile.

"Big King, these are all big bosses from Jishi City. This is the boss of Wang Zangwang of the earliest weapon factory in Jishi City. The Shenfeng Weapon Workshop, which is now running in Jishi City, is the largest crossbow manufacturer in the Han Dynasty. The Shenmao crossbow, car-mounted crossbow, and arm-opening crossbow of our Han army are all from Shenfeng." Cao Wending pointed to a thin businessman and said.

"Wang Zang is fortunate to see the king's character." Wang Zang bent down deeply.

"Hurry and don't give me a gift!" Wang Jian was overjoyed, "Boss Wang is also surnamed Wang. Maybe we were still a family five hundred years ago, hahaha."

"It was Wang's blessing to be a family with the king five hundred years ago!" Wang Zang said with a smile.

Cao Wending smiled and pointed his finger at the second place: "King, this is Zheng Yifan, the boss of the largest smelting factory in Jishi City. The quality of the fine steel he trains is the best in my great man."

"Oh, it turns out to be Boss Zheng, I have heard of Daming for a long time, Daming for a long time!" Wang Jian enthusiastically stretched out his hands to hold Zheng Yifan's hand and kept shaking it. It's not because Wang Jian is so enthusiastic. Look? It's really the steelmaking industry, and it has always been the biggest secret of the Han Dynasty. Now too many of the Han Dynasty's advanced technology relies on their leading steel smelting technology. For example, cannons, Wang Jian once tried to imitate themselves, but the steel technology was not up to standard. Most of the cannons were blown up in the test stage. The cannons were not trained, but they injured a lot of people's hands.

Next, Cao Wending introduced them one by one. All of them were famous businessmen in the great man. This made Wang Jian feel warm. If these people could invest in Xinqin, it would not be just a matter of making money and subsidizing finances, but it was really related to the national plan.

He glanced at Helanxiong and the others, but saw Huang Ming approaching them, saying something constantly, and bursts of laughter from time to time.

Wang Jian simply sat down, "Please sit down, please sit down. Please sit down. You all gathered here today, I wonder why?"

Cao Wending smiled and said, "Master, do you still need to ask? Today, everyone has dig into this banquet that specially welcomes the king, so of course they want to meet the king."

Wang Jianqiang suppressed his excitement, "Did you think of me, Xin Qin Zhan?"

"Of course." Wang Zang smiled and said, "Our companies have formed a commercial bank together, namely Jishicheng Commercial Bank. However, in the big man, we really can't afford to do the big man's Central Bank, so we can only say that we are striving to survive. We struggled and rely on the gap in the fingers of the central bank to do it. In order to compete with the central bank for business, we set the interest rate extremely high. But in this way, we really have no money to make, so we want to enter Xinqin."

"Commercial Bank?" Wang Jian's hot heart suddenly became cold.

"Don't underestimate this bank, if the king can allow our commercial bank to enter Xinqin and become the national bank of Xinqin. If we can sell currency, then we have money to make money. For the king, we will have a lot of money. From now on, we will no longer worry about finances."

"But now our Xinqin does not have a plan for this aspect." Wang Jian pondered.

"The king is not busy refusing. When doing business, this kind of thing is very complicated and you have to think carefully. However, this is a matter of benefit. The king knows why our Han Dynasty is so abundant, and there is a large part of the contribution of the central bank." Zheng Yifan carefully explained the working principle of the bank and the real purpose of banking currency to Wang Jian.

"Okay is indeed good." Wang Jian nodded slightly, "But to be honest, I still hope that you can set up factories and revitalize industry in my Xinqin."

Several bosses looked at each other and Zheng Yifan nodded, "If the king can allow our Jishicheng Commercial Bank to enter Xinqin and become the national bank of Xinqin and have the right to bank currency, we are willing to invest and run a factory in Xinqin."

"Are you serious?" Wang Jian was immediately delighted.

"Of course, it's taken seriously." Zheng Yifan smiled and said, "This is actually one of our plans. Boss Wang, please explain it to the king."

Wang Zang nodded and said, "My king, now my Han Dynasty is not far away from the Central Plains. For an arsenal like us, if there is no war, it will be a cut off its livelihood. After the Han Dynasty pacifies the Central Plains, the most urgent task is to restore people's livelihood and revitalize the economy. This is the road to external expansion, or it will not be interrupted. However, in terms of scale and strength, it will definitely be much smaller. So we, people, got together to discuss and listened to the opinions of brothers Cao, felt that Xin Qin is making great promises now. Merchants are pursuing profits, so we naturally have to find new profit points. Now Xin Qin is going to war with the great cannibals, which requires a lot of weapons. If we are not directly engaged in this industry, or are also upstream manufacturers of this industry, we all need to make money. As long as the king allows our commercial banks to enter Xin Qin, our factories will naturally go to Xin Qin'an's house to settle down and open branches."

"All the technologies are the most advanced technologies of the Dahan?" Wang Jian leaned forward and asked.

"Of course, it is the most advanced technology." Wang Zang leaned forward, "Even if our factory has just been developed successfully, it is OK to not have large-scale equipment for the army's firearms."

"Didn't Boss Wang produce crossbows?" Wang Jian asked strangely.

"Since the emergence of explosives and the artillery was successfully developed and put into the battlefield, we knew that there was no future for the crossbows, so over the years, our Shenfeng has been developing firearms. We can't grab the artillery market, but the miniaturization research on the miniaturization of firearms we are currently conducting has made breakthrough progress. The firearm that has just been successfully developed has been recognized by the king and was named musket himself." Wang Zang smiled and said: "Now our Shenfeng can not only make muskets, but also cannons can be made."

Wang Jian took a deep breath, "Your country's king allows these latest firearm technologies to enter our new Qin?"

"Why not?" Cao Wending spread his hands and said, "King, the New Qin and the Han Dynasty are brotherly countries. Our Han Dynasty also pays attention to free trade. Although exports of the weapons industry still have to be reported to the court, since we appear here today, we are naturally confident that we have obtained the consent of the court. King, we merchants, or not, are not high-ranking officials, but we can still speak in the Han Dynasty's Great Parliament. As long as the Great Parliament is passed, the King will not veto. Over the years, the King has never vetoed any policy that the Great Parliament decides and passed?"

"Are you really sure?" Wang Jian couldn't believe it.

"I must be sure, so there is no need to say about the Grand Council. Our boss also spoke in front of the King of Han. The King did not comment and did not explicitly object. This means that this matter is feasible." Cao Wending said.

"Okay." Wang Jian took a deep breath: "If your factory can be built in Xinqin, then Xinqin will allow your commercial bank to become our Xinqin national bank, but our Xinqin court will hold shares. This will be related to the country's financial lifeline."

"It's so good." The merchants suddenly became excited. "It was natural for the New Qin court to hold shares, and officials could be sent to the bank to exercise supervision."

"Okay, the day when your factory's ribbon is started, it will be the time when your commercial bank opens in Xinqin." Wang Jian stood up and raised the wine glass on the table.

“Wish us a happy cooperation.”

"Thank you for your accomplishment!" The merchants raised their glasses together.

The meal was eaten until midnight before the song ended and everyone felt extremely satisfied. Everyone came with pleasure and returned with satisfaction. When Wang Jian left the Third Military Region Command with Huang Ming's support and left on a horse, on the building, Helanxiong, Zhao Xilie, Cao Wending and others were staring at Wang Jian's leaving back through the bright searchlights behind the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Although Wang Jian is a great talent of a generation, he is far from a rival to the king. He cannot understand that the strength of a country is the economy at its root. When a commercial bank becomes the national bank of Xinqin, it is equivalent to a great man installing a tube that absorbs flesh and blood on them, which will continuously extract their flesh and blood. A country's economy will collapse whenever he wants it. To be honest, until now, I really don't believe that Wang Jian dares to hand over the national bank to us to manage." Zhao Xilie shook his head and sighed. Over the years, he has been immersed in civil affairs and dealing with the central bank more and more, and has a full understanding of the terrifying capabilities of this institution.

"How much can a few factories really enhance their strength?" Helanxiong sneered. "Wang Jian took it for granted. Even if he mastered the technology of smelting and practicing steel, he could build guns and cannons by himself, but the transportation and finance of a country are all in the hands of others. When they understand, it will be too late."

"This is a century-old plan, so we should take it slowly."
