Chapter 20 Opening a Commercial Bank

"However, after thinking about the opening of a trading house just mentioned, I still think it's a good idea! First of all, we can make money by doing business, and we can be a businessman, so it is convenient to go anywhere, and doing business with businessmen from all over the world, we can get information from all over the world. Xiao Yao suddenly went back to opening a commercial bank.

"The young master is right! When he was in Gangneung, the Xiao family trading house had contacts with the trading houses of various countries, and not only could materials from all over the country be bought, but also intelligence from various countries and regions could also be found. Zhou Chao thought about it carefully and felt that opening a commercial bank was a good idea.

"Well, then we have to find a talent like Steward Xiao, a person with exquisite faces and business acumen to be responsible for this matter, Ang Li, do you have any recommendations?" Xiao Yao asked about the head snake Li An.

"Young master, when it comes to doing business, I really know someone!" Ang Lee replied without even thinking about it.

"So soon? Who is it? Xiao Yao hurriedly asked.

"This person's name is Zu Yuan, he is the largest profiteer in Jiangzhou, he does all kinds of business, and I handed over the matter of collecting horses to him this time, and he did it well! But a profiteer is a profiteer, often selling fakes with shoddy goods, and I have been caught and returned to the yamen several times, but although he is a bit mercenary, sometimes he is quite backbone, and he is good at arithmetic, I heard that his ancestor is still a celebrity! Ang Lee said.

"Ancestor? Not only is he good at arithmetic, but his ancestor is also a celebrity? Could it be that he is a descendant of Zu Chongzhi? Xiao Yao was taken aback, he started learning mathematics in elementary school, and he must know pi, and Zu Chongzhi, who was the first to calculate the seventh decimal place of pi, is of course also familiar with it.

"Yes, yes, he is the descendant of this ancestor Chongzhi, young master, have you heard of this person? Zu Yuan said that his ancestors handed down a lot of books on mathematics, so he was very sensitive to numbers since he was a child, but he went to work as a businessman. Li An didn't expect that Xiao Yao also knew about this ancestor Chongzhi.

"Of course I know, and it's familiar, 3.141592654... Xiao Yao couldn't help but recite pi.

"Young master, what are you talking about, what three points and one four, is this a code word?" Zhou Chao interrupted Xiao Yao's self-talk.

"Pi is a very important number calculated by this Zu Chongzhi! Okay, tomorrow you ask him to go to the Yamen, and I will meet him in person!" Xiao Yao is also looking forward to meeting the descendants of this ancestor Chongzhi.

"Young master, then we want to open a trading house, what will be the name of our trading house at that time?" Zhou Chao suddenly thought of naming the firm.

"Name? Well, yes, as the saying goes, you are not afraid of the wrong life, and you are most afraid of the wrong name! You have to give the firm a well-known name! Well, let's call it generic! General Firm, General Iron Workshop, haha, there will be a General Coal Mine when the time comes! Universal Iron Ore Farm! General Cement Plant! Xiao Yao didn't speak very well, so he really couldn't think of any meaningful names for a while.

"Universal? Universal, really good! ”

"General Comptoir? General Iron Workshop? Sounds good! ”

"Well, General Firm! Catchy, good name! Young Lord, is there any meaning in this? Zhou Chao looked at Xiao Yao expectantly.

"Uh, what does that mean? This, I just thought that all of them should be used by this name, so it is called generic, and I really didn't think about what it means. Xiao Yao was very honest and looked at everyone a little embarrassed.

So everyone in the room looked at Xiao Yao who was embarrassed, and the house was a little embarrassingly quiet。。。。。。

The next day, Zu Yuan was called to the yamen early in the morning, and Xiao Yao and Li An were both sitting in the lobby, ready to interview the No. 1 profiteer in Jiangzhou in person!

"I don't know Lord Li, what are the instructions for calling the villain to the yamen early in the morning? Could it be that the villain helped you buy those dozens of fine horses and successfully exterminated the Julong Gang, and now the adults want to reward me for their meritorious deeds? "Zu Yuan, as a profiteer, is well-informed and exquisite, and he is not a stranger and restrained when he sees Li An, and he is cheeky to ask for rewards.

"You still dare to mention buying horses? I asked you to buy 50 good horses, but 20 were eliminated by Lord Xiao, don't think I don't know how much oil and water you have made in this matter! "Ang Lee doesn't eat his trick, give him a dismount first.

"Hey, Master Li, we didn't know each other on the first day, it's good that I can get you 50 horses in one day, you don't know how precious the horses are now, you must know that I also went to the next county to buy them for you, there is no merit and hard work!" Zu Yuan was not afraid of Ang Li, and the two of them were arguing above the lobby.

Xiao Yao observed this middle-aged man in his 40s, white and chubby, and the two mustaches on the corners of his mouth matched his identity as a profiteer seamlessly.

A pair of small eyes reveal shrewdness, and dare to talk to Li An, who has just become the temporary leader of Jiangzhou, and is reasonable, and his courage and talent are really unusual.

Xiao Yao gave Li An a look, and Li An stopped arguing with Zu Yuan, and said: "I called you here this time to introduce this Xiao Gongzi to you, Xiao Yao, Xiao Gongzi, is our great benefactor in Jiangzhou!" It was under his command that the Dragon Gathering Gang could be wiped out in one fell swoop! ”

"I've seen Xiao Gongzi, but I didn't expect that Xiao Gongzi was young, but he could easily wipe out the Julong Gang that had been entrenched in Poyang Lake for several years in one fell swoop, and he was really a hero! Admire under it! Admire! Zu Yuan is very good at observing words and feelings, and found that this young man can actually sit on an equal footing with Li An, naturally he is not an ordinary identity, and a wave of sycophants will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"The ancestral shopkeeper has won the award, and everyone is responsible for eliminating harm for the people! I know that the ancestral shopkeeper is a businessman, and I am also a businessman, so I called you this time, in fact, I want to do business with the ancestral shopkeeper! Xiao Yao said to Zu Yuan with a smile.

"Oh, what business?" Hearing the word business, Zu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he showed a trace of greed.

"Now that the Julong Gang has been wiped out and the Poyang Lake trade road has been opened, Master Li wants to revitalize and develop the business of Xunyang County! I also want to do business in Xunyang County, but Master Li is busy with government affairs, and I am not a local, so I heard that the ancestor shopkeeper is proficient in business, so I want to cooperate with you. Xiao Yao got straight to the point.

"The villain just can't ask for it! To be honest, Xunyang County is bordered by Jinling in the east and Jiangling in the west, which is the place where the goods of the two countries circulate! I've wanted to open a business here for a long time, but unfortunately I don't have enough capital, so I can only do some small business, but I've never done a loss-making business! As long as Master Li and Xiao Gongzi are willing to borrow some capital to open a business bank for me, I will use my life to guarantee that I will be able to become the second Yinhai Commercial Bank in less than 5 years! Zu Yuan became excited.

Xiao Yao secretly admired, it was really amazing, he only mentioned a business cooperation, he could think of opening a commercial house, and he really had a business mind!

"Don't get excited, since you want to cooperate, of course the two sides have to get to know each other, I don't know how the ancestor shopkeeper thinks about the word integrity?"

Zu Yuan was stunned, integrity? I'm a well-known profiteer in Jiangzhou。。。。。。
