Chapter 1620: The Invisible Hand

Early the next morning, United Money Bank.

The news of Zhou Hui's husband is true, a full one million taels of silver was transported from Hangzhou and secretly stored in the silver treasury of the United Money Bank, which is a jaw-dropping enough wealth.

It's just that the wealth accumulation of the United Merchants Group for so many years, coupled with the continuous production of gold from the Luzon Gold Mine, the most urgent thing in front of the United Merchants Group is not how to make money, but how to spend it reasonably.

Following the different ideas of many gentry and landlords to hide gold and silver, the united merchant group unanimously agreed to invest the silver in other industries, so as to control the larger industry.

Now, the United Chamber of Commerce has set its sights on the financial industry, and even plans to throw out a bank ticket that can unblock the whole country when Lin Haoran reaches the peak of power, and even become a veritable central bank of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the core secrets of these businesses are naturally not known to the outside world, and a pair of invisible hands are manipulating all this, and it seems that they are falling chess pieces one by one in an orderly manner.

Liu Feng runs a small workshop with more than 20 looms, but he was invited to the United Money Village, and after listening to the explanation of the shopkeeper Sun, he said with an incredible face: "I can really borrow 10,000 taels of silver from Guizhuang in three installments at an interest rate of one cent, and return it with interest after a year?" ”

"Yes, but you have to pledge the title deeds of your workshop, and the funds are mainly used to expand the operation of the workshop and sell all the silk you produce back to us! Of course, our money bank will not treat you badly, we will sign a contract with you, and the purchase price is 14 taels! The shopkeeper Sun held the steaming tea cup and looked expressionless.

Liu Feng's face was still in disbelief, he swallowed and foamed silently, and said again: "That's it? ”

"Not bad! By the way, the silk we will buy in the future only needs the new specifications, as for the old specifications...... After today, we won't take it anymore! Shopkeeper Sun thought about it for a while, and then responded lightly.

Since the shuttle loom is twice as wide, the specifications are very different from the old ones. Of course, this is actually just a difference in body size, silk is still that silk.

Although Liu Feng didn't understand why the other party did this, he didn't have the slightest rejection in his heart, and he coveted the other party's purchase price of up to 14 taels, and immediately agreed busily: "This is okay, my workshop has been replaced with a new loom, and it is naturally produced according to the specifications of Guizhuang." ”

Not only has a stable and high-priced order contract, but also can get sufficient financial support, which has invisibly improved Liu Feng's confidence a lot, and he happily agreed to this plan.

In fact, he also saw that the joint boycott of Wang Youyin's gang had already touched the scale of the United Business Group, so United Qian Zhuang smashed the market in Suzhou at any cost.

Liu Feng knew that he was an insignificant little person, and since the United Money Bank gave such great support, he naturally chose to stand on the side of the United Money Bank and make a fortune with the United Money Bank.

"If there are no problems, let's sign the contract now!" Shopkeeper Sun smiled slightly, and took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile.

The same thing happened to other small and medium-sized silk mill owners, who were very excited to sign a contract with United Money in the face of the great sincerity shown by United Bank.

It is under this banner of "eager to deliver goods to the Francophone man" that the United Money Bank plays the role of a fool and a lot of money, lending a large amount of money and silver at low or no interest, and even directly participating in some silk production workshops.

In just a few days, a large amount of silver flowed frantically to the silk industry through the United Bank, so that the silk, which had almost ceased production before, immediately bloomed with vitality.

Outside the city of Suzhou, the Humble Administrator's Garden, is shrouded in midday clouds.

Wang Youyin sat on the first seat of the council room, and the others sat on both sides, but there was no laughter and laughter at the beginning, and many people's faces looked sad and gloomy.

Since they reached an offensive and defensive alliance, Wang Youyin demanded that everyone eat and live here, and that no one was allowed to leave, only to receive messages or pass orders through messengers.

Just waiting quietly, it's always so hard. The special joint money village did not compromise, but acted frequently, and resolutely put on a posture of a fish to death.

If it weren't for being grounded here, silk merchants like Xu Yuanwai would have already disarmed and surrendered, but their bodies had already been controlled by Wang Youyin, so they could only follow Wang Youyin all the way to the black.

At first, when he heard that United Qianzhuang had signed a cooperation agreement with the female weaver, Xu Shaoquan said disapprerovingly: "It's up to them to make trouble!" A group of female workers, how much cloth can they weave in a day, is it true that they can't keep up with the number of deliveries? ”

This is actually a fact, after all, what United Money Bank wants is not 1 or 20,000 horses, but a full 150,000 horses, which is not a quantity that can be completed by just finding a group of contracted female workers.

When they heard that the United Money Bank would lend large sums of money at low interest or no interest to those small and medium-sized silk workshops, and even provided financial support to some workshops that switched to making silk, their hearts immediately panicked.

"Are they crazy? Where did they get so much money? Gu Siding was the first to let out a roar.

"Even if they have made money in the past few years, they can't mess around like this, right?" Shi Yongan also accused dissatisfied.

In their opinion, this kind of money-throwing move of United Bank is simply indiscriminate.

Normal trading, usually investing tens of thousands of taels is considered a big deal, and 100,000 taels is already the ceiling of investment. However, the United Money Village was going to spend a million taels, or even more silver, and seemed not to worry at all about the owners and weavers of Suzhou City defaulting on the contract, so that the one million taels would be lost.

At first, they suspected that Lianhe Qian Zhuang was bluffing, but when they learned that silk workshops large and small in Suzhou City, and even silk workshops without land deeds, could get low-interest loans from Lianhe Qian Bank, they could no longer sit still.

Xu Yuanwai looked up at the gloomy crowd, and said bitterly: "Either they are really crazy, or ...... People don't care about this million taels at all! ”

Xu Shaoquan and the others' mouths moved, and they originally wanted to refute, but in the end they didn't make a sound.

Although they always felt ridiculous in their hearts, how could anyone in this world regard a million taels as nothing, but the latter seemed to be closer to the truth. They broke with the United Merchant Group, and it seems that they really did something wrong.

Wang Youyin saw everyone's reactions in his eyes, but he seemed to be holding the chance of victory and said: "What if they are like this? Since last year, I have stockpiled a large amount of raw silk, and this year's new silk will not be available until May. Even if their looms are enough, but the raw silk is definitely not enough, in the end, the United Qian Zhuang smashed hundreds of thousands of taels in vain, not to mention, in the end they have to run over to us for help! ”

"Really?"

"Wang Yuanwai is really clever!"

"Huh...... I said why the price of raw silk has risen so much this year, it was originally a strategy of the king! ”

……

When Shi Yongan and the others heard this, they immediately felt relieved and gave Wang Youyin a thumbs up. However, there are also many people who secretly scold this is an old fox, which makes a fortune from silk, and can earn a lot of money from more silk, and dares to love him Wang Youyin is the biggest winner.
