Chapter 109: Big and Small

After several rounds of the wine order, the sisters have heard all kinds of songs, whether soft or flirty, and they have also heard it.

"Lao Wan," Qi You said, "you have been a big man in your business lately." ”

Shopkeeper Wan thought for a while and asked, "Excuse me, which one?" ”

"The preparations for the Zongmu Bank have been completed," Qi You said, "and it will be officially opened soon, and the president is our Prince Rui, isn't this a big deal?" ”

Speaking of this, he pointed his finger at the shopkeeper Wan, laughed, and said: "From now on, you Lao Wan will be on an equal footing with the prince!" ”

"Whew! My Uncle Qi, don't make fun of me! ”

After a pause, the shopkeeper Wan said: "Don't talk about the respect of the prince - just talk about the principal of five million taels of silver, don't talk about the small shrimp like 'Wantong He', which is the 'Four Hengs', and it is just enough to be qualified to carry shoes for others!" As for me, I probably want to dust off the uppers of my shoes, and people think my hands are dirty! ”

"Four Hengs" refers to the four largest silver numbers in Beijing, Hengli, Henghe, Hengxing, and Hengyuan, which are called "Four Hengs".

"That's not what I said," "Third Master Khan" interjected, "Don't look down on yourself." I was in a foreigner's place a long time ago, and I heard a phrase called 'all roads lead to Rome' - I don't know where this 'Rome' is, and that seems to mean ...... You take your Yangguan Road, I take my single-plank bridge, each goes his own way, each blows his own trumpet, and no one gets in the way. ”

"That's it," said Qiyou, "killing the pig and killing the ass." Each has its own way of killing. Business. Big and big, small and small! ”

Shopkeeper Sun spoke: "I'm afraid that people will eat it all?" ”

Qi You was stunned: "How do you say this?" ”

"A friend told me that this clan bank has allocated a sum of money to lend to Han, Zhan, Ke, and Dao, with interest - hey, the monthly interest rate is eight percent, and the annual interest rate is not more than one cent! That's how to do it. Will there be a way for us to 'put the Beijing account' in the future? ”

The main business of the shopkeeper Sun is the silk business, and the sideline business is the "Beijing account", because it is a sideline, so the entry and exit are not large, in today's words, it is "small loans", and "debts" are mainly poor Beijing officials, most of which are Han, Zhan, Ke, and Dao.

"Eight cents per month, one cent per year?" Qi You said suspiciously. "The interest rate is so low, the clan bank. And what kind of money can you make? This one...... Why? ”

He turned to "Mao Jian'er": "'Mao Jian'er', you are from the household department, is this news true?" ”

"Mao Jian'er" stroked his goatee and nodded: "Probably not." ”

After a pause, he said, "As for 'why did you come'?" Four words, 'buy people's hearts'! ”

"Lao Rui buys people's hearts? He ......"

"Mao Jian'er" smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, you are always smart!" Lao Rui, the 'president', is just an ornament, a big vase! The real power of the clan bank is in the hands of the 'general office'! Besides, whether it is the president or the general office, aren't they all working for others? Serious big boss—"

He stretched out his right hand, curled his thumb and little finger, and raised the middle three fingers: "It's this one!" ”

Qi You patted his head: "That's right, it's Guan San!" This...... That makes sense! ”

"However," said the "Third Master Khan", "in the end, it was the 'clan bank', Prince Xuan did this, and the clansmen, uh, wouldn't they have any opinions?"

"What can I say?" "Mao Jian'er" said, "Half of the share capital of the clan bank was taken out by our Prince Xuan, and the other clans, including the queen mother of the two palaces, are all minority shareholders!" Besides, the monthly interest rate is eight percent, the annual interest rate is one cent, low is low, but there is no loss of money, Shanghai Ocean People's Bank, is this interest - take a new word today, what is it called...... Well, 'international standards'! ”

"International...... Practice? ”

This word, except for "Mao Jian'er", no one who is sitting has heard of it.

"I don't really understand that 'international' is about the meaning of 'all nations', 'integration'...... Uh, 'rail', this, what do you mean by 'sadhana'? That's about ...... Since such things as banks were learned from foreigners, the rules must be followed by the rules of all nations. ”

"Third Master Khan" said with a smile: "This is about from the side of the North Street in the Inner Dynasty - our Prince Xuan has a lot of tricks." ”

Qi You sneered: "There are a lot of tricks, but ...... Hum! ”

"Uncle Qi, what's the matter? Listening to your tone, it seems to ......"

"I've had a few more drinks now, and all of you here are good friends, okay, I'll borrow wine to cover my face and say a few heart-wrenching words!"

Everyone's ears were pricked up.

"Third Brother Han, I know that in the past two years, there hasn't been much business to take care of you here in the Internal Affairs Office, and you are probably a little dissatisfied with me."

"Ouch, Uncle Qi, what are you talking about? We're good friends......"

Qi You waved his hand: "You listen to me first." ”

"Third Master Khan" stopped talking.

"If you are not satisfied, how do you know that I, not me, but the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs, are even more dissatisfied? The Ministry of Internal Affairs doesn't have any rice to cook, how can it take care of friends? ”

"Uh...... Uncle Qi, how do you say this? ”

"After Guan San came to power, here in the Internal Affairs Office, everything is stuck to death - originally, Gong Lao Liu is enough to pick the door, but I didn't expect that Guan San is better than him!"

Shopkeeper Wan couldn't help but interject: "Internal Affairs Office, that's dedicated to the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the Two Palaces!" This is ...... Prince Xuan's card internal affairs office, isn't it the queen mother of the two palaces? This, 'above'...... Don't you have any opinions? ”

"That's it!" Qi You said, "When Gong Lao Liu was in charge of the six things before, the Ka Internal Affairs Mansion was the two little widows of Ka - this is good. However, after Guan San came up, the offerings to the two little widows were much better, but the money he got did not leave the Internal Affairs Office-this ...... Do you understand? ”

"If you don't go from the Internal Affairs Bureau," the Internal Affairs Office will have no oil or water to fish out -- the 10,000 taels of silver allocated to the Internal Affairs Office will only be spent in a serious way, only about two or three thousand taels will be spent, and the rest seventy or eighty percent will be divided up and down by the Internal Affairs Office, and will fall into the hands of various "good friends."

Everyone here is unclear about this truth, but if you open your mouth and close your mouth "two little widows", what is that...... Hey.

"Take the Summer Palace as an example," Qi You's mouth frothed, "how many years has the Internal Affairs Office been looking forward to such a big project?" In the war a few years ago, the 'top' picking, repairing a window, and painting the pillars were all careful! As soon as I heard that Qingyi Garden was going to be rebuilt, the whole of the Internal Affairs Office thought that the hard days were over! Who knows, Guan San started from scratch completely, the 'Summer Palace Engineering Bureau', there is only one person from the Internal Affairs Office in it, and there is only one messenger, to find the information of Qingyi Garden for him! As for the silver, it was not a tael from the Ministry of Internal Affairs! ”

took a sip of wine, paused, and said to "Third Master Khan": "So, Third Brother Han, what should I take care of you?" ”

"Alas...... And really! ”
