75 vouchers
After the matter on the inn's side was settled, Abu hurried back to the valley, and after explaining the other matters, he plunged headlong into various studies.
This is also something that cannot be helped, such as automatic rifles, steam engines and other research, he has to personally participate, others cooperate with him to debug, after all, only Abu has seen the real objects of such instruments and machines, if you let go of others to study, it will take a lot of detours, not to mention, the deadline can not be guaranteed.
With the passage of time, Abu branches all over the country have hung up brass plaques of "benevolent and righteous shops, business models", and there are words mentioned by the Son of Kaiyuan Tianzi below, which looks golden and adds to the majesty.
This is Abu asked Liu Yuanlu to help get it, and the copper in Datang at this time is mostly bronze, and the purification of brass is still more troublesome, so such a plaque looks no different from gold casting.
The merchant travelers who entered and exited the inn inquired privately, and the reputation of this Abu branch flew like wings, and even alarmed the local parents and officials to pay their respects.
At the same time, this also makes other peers feel very uncomfortable, and they are also "benevolent and righteous stores", what's the matter, just the Abu branch is benevolent and righteous, and we are not benevolent? We have not been deceived and deceived and grabbed ill-gotten gains, but this word is mentioned by the saints today, where do you go to reason?
Besides, the Abu branch spent so much effort to build a spacious and bright library with all glass windows, and at the same time provided free lighting at night.
But since the emperor said that the Abu branch is a "model businessman", we also have to follow the charity to do good, I don't have the financial resources to build such a library, and it is still okay to provide some lamp oil.
As a result, many inns and hotels, and even Qinglou shops will provide free oil lamps for some hard-working scholars and students at night, and even some cheap food, although some bosses feel that if it goes on for so long, it is inevitable to make some blood and money, but for the sake of fame, they have to endure it.
A casual move of the Abu branch even improved and corrected the entire social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty, in the past, many poor students could only go to the temple to stay in the temple in order to study hard at night, but now there is no need to work so hard, I can't help but say that this is really a butterfly effect.
But if there is a chance, many people are still willing to go to the library built by the Abu branch, after all, it is specially built for reading, and the environment is clean and bright, and many like-minded students can get together to learn from each other, occasionally or each of them to get a piece of money, go to the store to ask for a table of wine, everyone drink happily, and recite poems.
At this time, the Abu branch will provide a lot of expensive sheep white paper for them to write, and then for everyone present to taste, and can be ranked among the top three can also get free gifts of paper or vouchers provided by the Abu branch.
And this generation of gold coupons is the banknote that Abu has been planning for a long time, and he also released it when Emperor Xuanzong rewarded him with handwriting.
At first, everyone didn't pay attention to the role of this gadget, but slowly, everyone found that the Abu branch offered several vouchers with different denominations. Vouchers are great for discounts at Abu outlets and priority purchases.
The Abu branch can no longer be equated with an ordinary inn, it is also a store specializing in special products, and many of the goods it provides cannot be bought elsewhere, even if it is only able to give priority to the purchase of goods, which makes many business travelers happy, which is equivalent to reducing the time spent waiting for goods.
Then it was discovered that they could exchange the same amount of copper coins for vouchers of the same denomination, and that carrying a light voucher and several bulky sacks of copper coins and silk merchants were completely different things, and at the same time everyone could carry more goods.
At this time, the Abu branch has become a money village again, with the scale and good reputation of the Abu branch all over the country, as long as there is an Abu branch, you can exchange the voucher for copper money anytime and anywhere, and there is no charge, for these long-term business travelers, it is simply intimate to home.
At the same time, we found that the vouchers provided by the Abu branch are not only simple and beautiful in shape, but also strong and durable, and can not be soaked even in water, and it is very convenient to carry and store.
Some people say that the reason why the financial industry in later generations can be popular, and all kinds of e-commerce and digital currencies emerge in an endless stream, depends on the mutual trust between people, otherwise thousands of physical goods are exchanged for only a few virtual numbers, and no one will do anything if they are put on their heads.
The Abu branch has now invisibly created an impression of honesty and reliability in people's minds, and it is with this impression that people are willing to exchange large quantities of money for vouchers that may not be worth anything.
Other larger money banks have also come back to their tastes at this time, and the appetite of this Abu branch is too big and too good, not only to do hotels and shops, but now they have to start the business of money banks, which is unbearable!
If you want to deposit money in these banks, not only do you have to pay a fee, but these banks will only issue vouchers equivalent to checks, and if you need to use money in other places, you must go to the corresponding bank to exchange the corresponding copper coins to use it.
And gradually they found that the Abu branch was like a monster, with endless transformation power, in the slightly larger state capital, you can see its shadow, all the architectural style, all the glass doors and windows, all the golden plaques, it is difficult to recognize it, it is simply pervasive.
Slowly, the major money banks sadly found that there were fewer people who deposited money in their stores, and many old friends and customers in the past also changed their ways and went to the Abu branch, after all, it is not only convenient to exchange money and goods there, but also does not charge any fees.
They rely on the means of eating at a low entry and high exit, charging customers a fee for depositing money, and at the same time issuing usury to the outside world, while the Abu branch does not need to do this at all, the reason why they can exchange vouchers for free is because this is Abu's strategy, to occupy the market as soon as possible, and second, they can rely on the profits of the hotel and the sale of goods to make up for this little cost.
And these money banks are not good, they used to be rich and high, but now even if they go to ask people to save money, they can't successfully achieve their wishes.
What's even more heartwarming is that some business travelers will also enter the store, so the account desk gentleman and his buddy, who have been idle for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, but the first thing people said was that they could exchange vouchers for the Abu branch here?
After receiving a negative answer, these caravans would glance back and forth with contempt at Mr. Tent and the men, and then walk away, muttering as they went, such a big bank can't even redeem the vouchers for the Abu branch, and deserves to close as soon as possible!
This is somewhat like the era of WeChat and Alipay payment in later generations, many young people go to the store to buy things, when they ask the store owner if they can use WeChat payment, when they get a response that they can't, these young people will also greet the store owner with contempt, and then turn away.
This can make the tent man and the guys so angry that their faces are red, and they are about to vomit blood, you can save money when you come to save money, and you can redeem tickets if you want to redeem tickets, what kind of vouchers do you come to exchange for here, this is obviously a smashing field! Redeem the voucher for the Abu branch, you go to the Abu branch, what are you doing here?
Seeing that the situation is urgent, it is about to sit empty, and the bigwigs of the major money banks have also begun to think of ways, and the quickest way is, of course, to directly attack the Abu branch.
But at the end of people's walks and walks, a single Abu library has lost a great good reputation in vain, and there is also the aura of the saint's own handwriting; Their usual method of splashing dirty water and smearing black ashes is a bit difficult to implement, and those spit stars of poor and sour talents will drown them, and if they don't do well, they may even suffer lawsuits.
Otherwise, we will also launch this type of voucher, and after they finished studying the voucher of the Abu branch, the result surprised them even more, it is obviously a voucher made of paper, but the degree of durability is comparable to silk, and even soaking it in water is fine, and it is impossible to imitate it.
What can I do about this, some bigwigs who have been forced to be anxious began to use the power behind them and began to work hard in Chang'an City to see if they could bring down the Abu branch from the political level, after all, behind these money banks are the interests of all levels of major networks.
There are also some more flexible money banks have begun to show favor to the Abu branch, to see if they can exchange the vouchers of the Abu branch, originally they thought that they would be troubled by the Abu branch, but they did not expect to get the answer is extremely simple, as long as a simple agreement is signed, you can use the same amount of money to exchange the same vouchers.
Feelings in the eyes of the Abu branch, they are no different from those merchants who come and go, these money bank owners secretly make some bad, the heart said now let you be arrogant for a while, and wait for yourself to eat a large amount of vouchers, and then cooperate with other money banks to exchange copper coins at the same time, then see how you can take out so many copper coins.
With so many years of accumulation and rich heritage in your own family, can't you still clean up such a small dragon across the river? This is what many ill-intentioned money bank owners think when they redeem vouchers.
