Chapter 43: Credit (continued)

Xiyang City, Ruixing General Number, Cen Chong got out of the carriage and walked into this familiar storefront, Ruixing operates a variety of goods, each of which is a hot-selling thing, of course, if you want to get a book, you have to go to the school. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

All kinds of cloth, paper, glass jewelry, all kinds of "Western Regions Treasures", pig leather products, soap, are all hot sellers, as for the glass mirror, it is not here to talk about it can be qualified to buy.

Cen Chong was fortunate to be one of the buyers of the glass mirror, and when he came to Xiyang, he only took the glass mirror back, and came every once in a while, but now he has to come over from time to time every month to discuss large transactions with Wang Yue, the big shopkeeper of the Ruixing number.

He is an old customer, the guys of the Ruixing recognized it at first sight, please go to the side hall to sit down, Cen Chong was about to explain his intention, but he heard the other party ask if he needed to "cash out".

"Exactly, I wonder if your account is convenient now?"

Cen Chong was not surprised at all, because when he opened the bill of exchange in Yucheng, the semicolon shopkeeper agreed with him on the date of cashing in the general number of Xiyang City, and the period of fluctuation was three days.

"It's convenient, the shopkeeper is waiting for the shopkeeper Cen to come to exchange, please come here."

The group came to a room with a plaque of "cashing out", and in front of the counter, Cen Chong began to "cash" business.

He carefully took out the bill of exchange, took a closer look at it and confirmed that it was correct, and handed it over to the Wu shopkeeper who was responsible for cashing in Ruixing, and then looked at the other party fixedly, and the entourage behind him also looked nervously, for fear of any accident.

"Shopkeeper Cen, please forgive me, before cashing, I will explain how to prevent counterfeiting of this bill of exchange again, which is also to facilitate the shopkeeper Cen to use it with confidence in the future."

Seeing Cen Chong nodding, Shopkeeper Wu took out another piece of paper of the same size, spread it flat on the case with the bill of exchange, and connected it tightly up and down, only to see a complete seal trace appear between the two.

When the bill is issued in the city, the bill of exchange actually has two main and secondary, and together after riding and stamping, the main ticket is kept by Cen Chong, and the secondary ticket is the branch of Ruixing sent to the general number, and is used when cashing.

"The riding seal is right, this is the first anti-counterfeiting."

Shopkeeper Wu explained that although the Qiancheng branch must have explained Cen Chong before, he still had to explain it again.

"But in case of various reasons, such as the loss of the deputy bill, how should this bill of exchange be cashed?" Shopkeeper Wu said what Cen Chong was worried about, "This has to be distinguished from the bill of exchange itself." ”

The bill of exchange was placed on the case, and the shopkeeper Wu asked Cen Chong to take a closer look at it again, of course, he had read this bill of exchange countless times, and he was very familiar with it.

The bill of exchange is the size of a palm, with a blue background moire on both sides, the paper is a little strange, and it is crisp and crisp when thrown lightly, and the key is that there are no obvious creases when folded several times, which is different from ordinary paper.

On the front of the bill of exchange, on the blue background moire, with blue ink written "make money 10,000 times", the handwriting is very neat, it does not look like handwriting but printed, on the back of the blue background moire, the main entrance scene of the Ruixing number is drawn, which makes people feel immersive.

When the ticket was issued, the Ruixing branch of the city was displayed, and a bill of exchange with handwriting was immersed in water, and the handwriting and pattern were still clear after a while, so the ticket number ink was a little special, and it was not afraid of being soaked in sweat, rain, river water and even various waters for a short time.

But this is not the key, to prove that this bill of exchange is "genuine", there are relevant measures.

"Shopkeeper Cen, please take a look."

The shopkeeper Wu lit a lamp, put the bill of exchange in front of the lamp and looked through the light, only to see the outline of a copper coin appeared in the paper of the bill of exchange, which was the style of the "Yongtong Wanguo" money system in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"The bill of exchange has the imprint of 'all nations of eternity' embedded in it, and it can be seen by looking at the light that if it is not, it is a fake."

Cen Chong nodded, he knew this, and he was also quite emotional about the blood under the Ruixing: the paper is resistant to folding, and it must be transparent, and it is inlaid with this kind of mark, and the ink used is special, and the cost of making it is not low.

"Again, what should I do if the shopkeeper accidentally loses the bill of exchange, or the bill of exchange is seriously damaged?"

Shopkeeper Wu took out the deputy ticket, but saw that there were two clear fingerprints printed on it, which Cen Chong dipped his left and right thumbs in red ink when the ticket was opened.

"If you can't get the bill of exchange when cashing, or the bill of exchange is seriously damaged, it is to reprint the fingerprints, on the right side of the bill, of course, if the main bill is gone, the number is to charge some handling fees when cashing. It is also necessary to cash the person's lettering as evidence. ”

Cen Chong didn't have any opinion on these measures, he knew that the Ruixing must have other marks on the bill of exchange, and the inexplicable symbols in the lower right corner of the front of the bill of exchange were proof, but the matter was confidential and could not be known to outsiders.

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Wu took out a notebook behind the counter, as if he was checking the lines of symbols on the bill of exchange, and after a while, he took out his seal and stamped a "pass" stamp on the bill.

The shopkeeper Wu handed the bill of exchange to the deputy next to him, and the man also checked the authenticity of the bill of exchange, and once again put the main ticket and the deputy bill together to check the seal, and still took out the notebook and checked the lines of symbols on the bill.

After confirming that it was correct, he also took out a seal and stamped a "review passed", and the shopkeeper Wu took the bill of exchange and asked: "Shopkeeper Cen, the bill of exchange is correct, may I ask whether to cash in 10,000 yuan of money, or settle it after purchasing the goods in this number?" ”

"Let's settle the goods after we buy them." Cen Chong did not hesitate, this bill of exchange seems to be no problem now, so there is no need to really cash the copper coin.

Anyway, they are all going to buy in Ruixing, and the copper money that has been moved out will have to be moved back for a while, not to mention the effort of moving in and out, not to mention that it has to be counted, it is really tired and panicked, since it is an old customer, of course, it is familiar with the way, Cen Chong led his subordinates to order according to the list of goods that had been drawn up long ago.

It is still the old rule, buying a ship in Bakou and then loading it, Cen Chong and his party, who came empty-handed on a fast boat, escorted the fleet upstream, entered the Hanshui from Hankou to Fancheng, and then continued to return to Jingzhou Zhicheng.

Because of the elimination of the link of counting copper coins, it was almost half an hour faster than before, and the 10,000 yuan was just offset with the payment and related expenses, of course, this was also within Cen Chong's expectations.

"Shopkeeper Wu, this bill of exchange is really convenient, Cen Mou came to Xiyang this time, and he didn't have to toss it like in the past."

Cen Chong is sincerely praised, bulk goods transactions have always been a headache for how to pay for goods, Ruixing's new "bill of exchange", really want people to think.

"Cen shopkeeper, please rest assured, the disdain is the word 'credit', if it is trustworthy, in the future, you can count the payment in the branch of the city and then issue a bill, easily to Xiyang, of course, Xiangyang, Anlu, Jiangling semicolon can also open bills of exchange."

"I don't know... I wonder if your account can be like this in Yecheng? ”

"Yes, the Yecheng branch can also issue bills of exchange, after all, the merchants of Jingshi also often come to Xiyang to buy goods." When Shopkeeper Wu said this, he showed his strength a little, "Presumably Shopkeeper Cen also knows that the owner is in Yecheng, and there are also old people to help, right?" ”

The owner of the Ruixing is Yu Wenwen, the prince of Yiguo, this is the son-in-law of Chi Shun, the public lieutenant of Angu County, that is, the grandson-in-law of the prime minister Chi Hui. ”

Hearing this, Cen Chong decided to follow the instructions of the owner, ready to start a new business, the strength of their owner is not small, although now Zhou and Sui are at odds, but there is still a way to send people through Luozhou and Yuzhou in Sui State, and go to Zhou Guojing in Hebei to sell goods.

But that is still very risky, all the way to the past is also costly, if you do a big deal is more inconvenient, detour Huangzhou to Yecheng is safe, but the distance has at least doubled.

Go, to take a large amount of money as payment, back, and pull a large number of goods, of course, can save the link of transporting money to Yecheng, this is still very cost-effective, if Ruixing really has such strength, and there is credit...

"I wonder if the king's shopkeeper is idle? Cen has something important to discuss. (To be continued.) )
