Volume 14 Chapter 9 The wealth is staggering

Report performance is a new word, this literal meaning is not difficult to understand, that is, take out the pre-counted report to read to everyone, but why read it in front of everyone, write it into a fold and submit it to the emperor, the emperor will understand everything at a glance.

In fact, this is also a way of communication, if they are asked to write a recital and submit it, then the performance of each business, bank, and company is only known to Zhu Cijiong, and everyone is not doing their own thing, and they have nothing to do with each other. If they are asked to read it out in public, at least everyone can understand what the various firms, banks, and companies are doing, so that there will be a basis for communication.

Zhu Cijiong saw that everyone was at a loss, and he didn't seem to have the intention of reporting, so he could only name him, he looked at Luo Yangxing on the right, and encouraged: "Taihe, you come first." “

Hearing this, Luo Yangxing picked up the account book on the table, and asked in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, do you want to read it all?" “

This time, it was Zhu Cijiong's turn to be stunned, Nima, ask you to make a report, why did you come out with a whole account book!

He snatched the account book in Luo Yangxing's hand, roughly flipped over, this is too detailed, each branch number has a special introduction, and the total amount of each business in each month is recorded in detail.

Fortunately, there was a summary report at the end, and he directly turned the last page, handed the account book back to Luo Yangxing, and instructed: "Just read the last page." “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he was not ambiguous, took the account book, and read aloud: "Daming Royal Nikko Bank, since its establishment last year, has established 163 branches in Daming, 15 branches in Dongying, North Korea and other dependent countries, and one branch in Nanyang Luzon and Xingcheng Port, one branch in Goa and Ceylon in South Asia, and one branch in Spain in Europe, now a total of 183 branches, more than 8,000 employees, and a total of more than 420 million taels of silver. The total value of Chongzheng Tongbao issued was more than 180 million taels of silver, the total value of silver bills issued was more than 390 million taels of silver, and the total profit through exchange and lending last year was more than 30 million taels. “

Although everyone here is a super rich lord, they are still shocked when they hear these data, hundreds of millions of taels of silver are also quite terrifying wealth for them!

In fact, it is not that the Daming Royal Nikxing Bank has developed to this scale within a year, for example, most of the silver and gold worth more than 400 million taels are accumulated by its predecessor, the Daming Rixing Long Firm, through exchange, and the silver bills have also followed the business for more than ten years.

However, Zhu Cijiong is not very satisfied with this performance, his goal is to use the Ming Royal Nikko Bank to control the currency circulation of Daming and all subject countries and even other countries.

He thought about it for a while, and asked Luo Yangxing directly: "Why is the principal growing so slowly?" It seems that when the original Rixinglong firm was split, most of the gold and silver were allocated to the Daming Royal Nikko Bank, and the total value of gold and silver at that time was almost 400 million taels, and it only increased by more than 20 million taels this year, which was too slow. And didn't I say that I want to make all the gold and silver into Chongzheng Tongbao, you just made the principal in your hand into Chongzheng Tongbao is more than 180 million taels, and the silver ticket seems to have been issued more than 300 million taels, and there has not been much movement this year! “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, Weichen is incompetent, this, Your Majesty, you have not decreed that you can only use Chongzheng Tongbao, so when merchants come to exchange gold and silver, most of them still ask to exchange gold and silver ingots, and only a small number are willing to exchange Chongzheng Tongbao." This silver ticket is only used by the old customers of the Great Tomorrow Xinglong Firm, and no one else dares to use it, because it is printed with the Great Tomorrow Xinglong Firm! There is also the principal mainly increased by the profit of foreign exchange, and last year's profit was only so much, so the principal only increased so much. “

Zhu Cijiong was stunned when he heard this, most of the co-authors are his own responsibility!

Is it decreed that all the people of the Ming Dynasty are forced to use Chongzheng Tongbao? This is obviously unrealistic, the people of the Ming Dynasty are not only hundreds of millions, if most people are not willing to use it, is it ridiculous to cure the crime of disrespect of hundreds of millions of people, this still has to be achieved through a subtle way.

There is also the problem of silver tickets, he patronized the split of the Great Tomorrow Xinglong business, forgetting that the silver ticket is still printed on the Great Tomorrow Xinglong business, and now the Great Tomorrow Xinglong business is gone, the old customers dare to use your silver tickets are to give you face, and if you want the new customers to use it, there is really no door.

As for the way to increase the principal, there are many ways, but he has never taught Luo Yangxing!

Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiong first blamed himself: "Well, I was negligent, so let's print the new silver ticket, print it on the best paper, and add the shading, the shading is the same as Chongzheng Tongbao, with the words of all the powers, the silver ticket in the hands of the old patron is changed to a new one as much as possible, if it can't be replaced for a while, it doesn't matter, the old one will be used for a few years." “

In fact, Luo Yangxing has been thinking about this problem for a long time, but Zhu Cijiong has been busy, he can't find a chance to discuss with the emperor, and now that the emperor has said this, he immediately proposed: "Your Majesty, otherwise, Weichen issued a notice in the "Beijing News" in the name of the Ming Royal Rixing Bank, asking all the old customers to exchange the silver tickets, with a deadline of five years, and the old silver tickets will be invalid after five years, what do you think?" “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said: "Well, this idea is very good, but it is not enough to send it once, you tell Wu Meicun to let him send it for a year, and this notice must be scheduled for the period." “

This is a free advertisement, no need to use it in vain, Luo Yangxing heard this, and immediately understood what the emperor meant, and he couldn't help but praise it: "The emperor is wise." “

Zhu Cijiong raised his hand to block his sycophancy, and continued: "As for the growth of the principal and the issue of Chongzheng Tongbao, it depends on all of you here, you all think about it, how to help Daming Rixing Bank increase the principal and issue Chongzheng Tongbao?" “

When everyone heard this, they all frowned and thought hard, and soon, Viscount Xu seemed to think of something, he gritted his teeth and proposed: "Your Majesty, why don't you hand over all the gold and silver from the Daming Royal Xinglong Firm to the Daming Royal Rixing Bank and exchange it for Chongzheng Tongbao, and in the future, the payment for the goods and the change found out by the Daming Royal Xinglong Firm will only be used Chongzheng Tongbao!" “

Zhu Cijiong nodded approvingly: "Well, this proposal is very good, but you can't just use Chongzheng Tongbao when paying for the goods, try to discuss it with others, if the merchant is really unwilling to accept Chongzheng Tongbao, forget it, take your time, it is completely feasible to use Chongzheng Tongbao for change, so that it may have some impact on the business of the Ming Royal Xinglong firm in the short term, but it will be good to wait for everyone to get used to it." “
