Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over, the staff of Aurora Bank immediately moved their tables and chairs into the tall and heavy arched gate of Aurora Bank, and followed these staff in uniform blue crisp suits and ties into the bank. Merchants from all walks of life outside the customs and their entourage, all of whom went in to exchange the vouchers issued by the Aurora Bank.

The rest of the guests who came to watch the ceremony were guided by the polite Aurora Bank staff to go up to a colorful shed next to it.

These people are not here to participate in the love bidding conference, some of them are businessmen who have business dealings with the Aurora Group, some are local and foreign money banks, silver shopkeepers, on the color shed of these money banks, silver number shopkeepers, is to do deposit and loan interest-earning business, under normal circumstances, is not directly run any other business, they come today, because there are many businessmen who want to participate in the bidding to buy goods are afraid that there are not enough funds, need to borrow from banks and money banks according to the situation, if you take this opportunity to borrow a large amount of money, The profit will not be small.

Wu Yi, the eunuch of the Alcohol Palace, came over to say goodbye to Qin Chuan as soon as the ceremony was over.

Wu Yi wanted to leave, but Qin Chuan didn't keep it, but just whispered a few words to the eunuch head of the Alcohol Palace, and asked Li Mingfang to send Wu Yi to one or two carriages marked with the logo of the Alcohol Palace.

Changlu Salt Transport Envoy Hu Liao and Tianjin County Commander Zhang Shifang, Ping Su and Qin Chuan are not very close, the two can come to attend the opening ceremony of Aurora Bank today to support Qin Chuan, originally for the face of Zhou Fu and Li Jingfang, as soon as the ceremony is over, the two are not in the mood to accompany the dry consumption here, and Zhou Fu, Sheng Xuanhuai, Li Jingfang, Wu Tiaoqing and others also left early after saying goodbye.

On both sides of the gate of the dyeing factory, there is a tall two-story western-style building that opens to the street. The two-storey western-style building on the left, the first floor is a store room with a bright and large fan glass, a total of 24 rooms, which is for the subordinate enterprises of the Aurora Group to display products, which takes into account both retail and wholesale, so that ordinary merchants do not have to enter those factories, and the second floor is the sales department of these factories located here.

The two-story western-style building on the right is where the managers of the headquarters of Aurora Group and its factories work daily. Now, there are still many empty rooms in the western-style buildings on both sides.

As for the offices of the technicians of these factories, they are all located in their respective factories.

At this moment, in front of the two-story western-style building on the left, under the command of Ye Xilai, who is now the manager of the sales company of the Aurora Group, the soldiers of the salt regiment have driven away the people watching in front of the building, spread red felt on the sidewalk in front of the building, and put a few tables on it, and then put more than a dozen chairs behind the tables.

On the opposite road where Ye Xilai and the others were sitting, dozens of chairs were placed in six rows, which were reserved for the managers of foreign banks and merchants from all over the country who would participate in the bidding.

Taking advantage of this chaotic opportunity, Qin Chuan, Li Mingfang, Jin Lisan invited Zhou Fu, Sheng Xuanhuai, Li Jingfang, Wu Tiaoqing, Zhang Shiheng and others to the color booth facing the auction site.

In the color shed, there are rows of tables in front, which Li Mingfang arranged in order to let the guests clearly see the auction scene, and now there are only a few people such as Qin Chuan and Zhou Fu in the huge color shed, Qin Chuan immediately ordered the table to be in one place, changed into a large square table, after a few people sat down, they resettled the melons and fruits, and someone poured them full of tea. Chu Yunfei and Xu Tong arranged more than a dozen guards and orderlies around the color shed, and the two of them and a young man with two shell guns crossed and diagonally on his back, medium stature, white and clean, looked very capable, went to the color shed, and stood silently in the corner of the color shed.

This young man is Qin Chuan's newly selected guard chief, named Gao Ying.

Since the last time Qin Chuan met an assassin in Yiranju, after coming back, Chu Yunfei and Xu Tong said that they would not leave Qin Chuan or so, and at night, the two of them were on duty in turn, that is, they went to the martial arts academy to take classes, and both of them had to take turns to go, and the angry Qin Chuan scolded the two of them. In the end, Chu Yunfei, Xu Tong and Shi Feng invited Li Mingfang, Xu Xifang and Du Baozhong to persuade them, and Qin Chuan agreed to configure personal guards for him. The matter of selecting the guards was the responsibility of Shi Feng, Chu Yunfei and Xu Tong.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the three of them brought Qin Chuan nine energetic young people in their twenties, and Qin Chuan had no choice but to accept it with a wry smile. This Gao Ying, not only is he mentally good, not to mention his good kung fu, but he is very sensitive to guns, and soon after joining the army, he stood out in shooting, and now after several months of training, not to mention that he is proficient in all kinds of long and short guns, and he shoots with a powerful barge gun that jumps up and down when shooting with this barrel, and can almost hit a hundred shots within fifty meters, which makes Qin Chuan very satisfied.

Li Jingfang glanced at Zhou Fu, who was sitting in the center and playing with a brightly colored and angular Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar, and said to Qin Chuan with a smile.

"Ming Hong, your ocean is extremely exquisite, and the color is sufficient, Zhongtang also praised it after seeing it, and said that it won't take long for your Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar to compare this Eagle Ocean."

Qin Chuan is convinced of this.

Although there is a saying that bad money drives out good money, it refers to the situation that only occurs when the government forces the government to set good and bad money of the same denomination, which is not the same as the current environment in which Yingyang and his Suzaku silver dollar live. Qin Chuan believed that in time, the people would soon be willing to use his Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar, and because of the condition, the value of his Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar would be much higher than the value of Eagle Ocean.

Now, the silver content of each of his Suzaku silver dollars is three percent higher than that of Yingyang, and the fineness is only a little worse than that of Kuping silver in the Qing Dynasty, with a silver content of 93%, that is to say, every 90 Suzaku silver dollars can be exchanged for 93 Yingyang, which is only in terms of silver content, if you take into account the reason for the exquisite production, the exchange price is even higher. In the future, as the people become more and more fond of using his Suzaku, the price of the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar and Yingyang will gradually increase, and it must be Yingyang who will eventually be driven out of the market.

Li Hongzhang can have this vision, but he is worthy of being the leading feudal official of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and worthy of the title of one of the three ministers of Zhongxing.

The so-called Kuping silver is the standard monetary unit used by the Qing Dynasty's treasury revenue and expenditure, which began in the Kangxi period. According to the Treaty of Shimonoseki, one kuping tael is equivalent to 37.2654 grams of silver with a silver content of 99.8%.

Without waiting for Qin Chuan to answer, Wu Tiaoqing looked at Jin Lisan and asked, "Jiasan, how many silver dollars can your mint mint in a day?" ”

Jin Lisan glanced at Qin Chuan and said with a smile: "The sunrise is fifty thousand, if you work overtime, eighty thousand is no problem." ”

After receiving Jin Lisan's reply, Wu Tiaoqing turned his head to Li Jingfang and said: "Lord Zhongtang has a good vision, just with the fineness and delicacy of this Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar, Yingyang can't compare, plus the output of Minghong's mint is large enough, it won't take three years, I'm afraid there will be no Yingyang foothold in this Zhili area, from this point of view, this Minghong has done a great thing for the imperial court." ”

Sheng Xuanhuai also nodded appreciatively and said to Qin Chuan: "Ming Hong is a good means, when the people no longer use the Eagle Ocean and only the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar is popular in the world, those foreigners can no longer casually mint silver dollars to trade with us, at that time, the foreigners will either use their local currency to trade with our Daqing, or they will have to take the silver to the Aurora Bank to exchange it for the Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar, so that Ming Hong only needs to charge half of the fire consumption for each piece。。。。。。 ”

The so-called fire consumption is to incur some loss and labor costs when casting scattered silver into silver ingots, which can be more or less, and the excess will naturally belong to the individual.

Sheng Xuanhuai said this, Zhang Shiheng also understood, and he couldn't close his mouth in surprise for a long time, and only looked at Qin Chuandao with envy and admiration for a long time.

"Minghong, if you charge half of the fire consumption, it will be a net profit of three million in a year! You just don't give a penny loan, and that year is worth a lot of money! ”

Being told by Sheng Xuanhuai, Qin Chuan couldn't help but glance at Sheng Xuanhuai angrily, turned his head and said with a wry smile to Zhou Fu.

"My lord, the original reason why Ming Hong minted this Vermilion Bird Silver Dollar was not for the future fire consumption, but because I felt that my dignified Celestial Empire was filled with silver coins minted by foreigners, and there was no silver dollar minted by our own Qing Dynasty, I deeply felt that it was not a decent thing for the Celestial Empire, and I didn't think about it."

"As for the future of fire consumption, that will be a few years later. When the adults are in office, they have to build dams and dredge, build bridges and pave roads every year, and silver is needed everywhere. In addition, if there is an occasional natural disaster, it is necessary for adults to help and recover, and it will require more money. ”

Seeing that Qin Chuan took the initiative to bleed, Sheng Xuanhuai winked at Qin Chuan slyly, glanced at Zhou Fu, and couldn't help laughing. Zhou Fu couldn't help laughing, but because of his identity, he took out a white silk scarf from his sleeve and coughed dryly.

Knowing the way of the two, Qin Chuan couldn't help but be ruthless in his heart, and said secretly: "Who said that Lao Tzu will only charge half of the fire consumption at that time, grandma's, Lao Tzu will have to charge more at that time." ”

However, Qin Chuan was annoyed, he really didn't take the three million to heart, what he valued was not the millions of fire consumption, what he valued was that the silver dollars circulating in the world in the future were all from his Aurora Bank, that is to say, he Qin Chuan was equivalent to mastering the economic lifeline of the Qing Dynasty to a certain extent。。。。。。
