Chapter 422 - Greater China Bank (4 more)

It took Fan Kai seven days. Succeeded in convincing the main businessmen of Guangzhou.

Among them, the Fan family contributed 1.5 million taels, the Mu family contributed 1.5 million taels, and the rest of the major merchants in Guangzhou gathered 2 million taels of silver, totaling 5 million taels of silver. The 5 million taels of silver accounted for 30 percent of the bank's profits, and although Li Zhen's investment of 5 million taels of silver accounted for 70 percent of the profits, the merchants did not complain. They can stand on this ship of Li Zhen, and the bank is also profitable, they are willing.

Fan Kai successfully completed the task and came to the Admiral's Mansion to report.

In the study, Fan Kai talked eloquently and told all about the financing process.

After finishing speaking, Fan Kai breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "The funds have all been in place, and 10 million taels of silver can definitely set up a huge and incomparable bank and occupy the entire money bank in Guangzhou." Moreover, this is funded by the major businessmen in Guangzhou, and with the escort of the businessmen, we will be able to smoothly pass the initial run-in period and become a major pillar of our Guangzhou. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Mr. Fan is confident, I'll wait and see." ”

Fan Kai added: "Everything is ready to be in place, even the address has been chosen, and ground breaking has begun. However, there is still a lack of a resounding name, and I hope that the adult will personally choose the name and nominate it to cheer up the bank. ”

Li Zhen said: "Since it is the first bank in the land of China, it is called 'Great China Bank'. ”

"Greater China!"

Fan Kai muttered, a bright look gradually appeared in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "Magnificent China, the land is vast and rich." Great China, a good Great China, will adopt the name of 'Great China Bank' proposed by adults. ”

After a pause, Fan Kai continued: "My lord, you can write an inscription." ”

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, and he shook his head again and again: "Mr. Fan, I am from the army, and I am a big old man, and my handwriting is ugly and difficult to see. You go to the newspaper office of Kyushu Daily to find Wei Lao's inscription, or find Mr. Liu's inscription, or even your own inscription, my handwriting will be laughed at. "Since Li Zhen crossed over, except for the simple materials that are not publicized to the public, he has done everything else by Liu Taiping.

Now to inscribe, Li Zhen was immediately stumped.

The five words 'Great China Bank' are hanging, Li Zhen's words are unsightly, isn't it boring to write them? Fan Kai had a look of disbelief, and with Li Zhen's knowledge, he must have written beautiful and good characters.

The words are like his people, Fan Kai didn't believe Li Zhen's words, and thought that Li Zhen was deliberately reserved.

Fan Kai said firmly: "No matter what, adults have to write an inscription!" ”

Li Zhen said: "Mr. Fan, are you sure? ”

"Sure!"

"No regrets?"

"Believe in your lordship!"

Li Zhen let out a long sigh and said, "I'll write it to you, and you will retreat." ”

When Fan Kai heard this, he chuckled in his heart.

However, when it came to this, Fan Kai insisted on saying: "I'll grind ink for adults." ”

He walked to the desk excitedly and personally polished the ink for Li Zhen, and it was polished after a while. Li Zhen stood beside the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, and felt embarrassed when he looked at the rice paper lying calmly on the desk. It's just that when he saw Fan Kai's expectant eyes, he could only reluctantly take a brush from the pen holder and prepare to put it down.

The moment Li Zhen held the brush, Fan Kai's expression immediately became complicated. Fan Kai is a businessman's family, but the old lady is strict and asks Fan Kai to read and learn calligraphy, and Fan Kai also writes well. He specialized in learning to write, and knew that both the posture of writing and the posture of holding a pen were exquisite.

As soon as Li Zhen made a move, Fan Kai knew that Li Zhen's words were true.

When Li Zhen wrote a 'big' word, Fan Kai finally couldn't help it. He stared at Li Zhen stunned and asked, "My lord, haven't you learned to write?" ”

This word is not horizontal, apostrophe, apostrophe, crooked, like an earthworm wriggling. Such words opened Fan Kai's eyes, and he even muttered in his heart, I am afraid that seven-year-old children can write better than Li Zhen.

Li Zhen put down the pen and said, "Mr. Fan, I'm not used to writing calligraphy!" ”

Fan Kai finally gave up and said, "My lord, I think it is most appropriate to ask Mr. Liu to ghostwrite, and then leave your name behind." Fan Kai and Li Zhen have been together for a while, and they are used to Li Zhen's lack of official performance, and he speaks very casually.

Li Zhen nodded and shouted, "Come on, invite Mr. Liu to the study." ”

Fan Kai continued: "When I get along with adults, I know that adults have countless wonderful ideas, and they are outstanding in learning. It's just that adults have big ambitions, big strategies, and such outstanding talents, why is this handwriting so ugly? ”

Li Zhen glared at Fan Kai and said, "Mr. Fan, don't you poke me in the sore spot?" ”

Fan Kai smiled: "I just think it's strange." ”

The words fell, and Liu Taiping walked in. He saluted Li Zhen, walked to the desk and looked at the words on the desk, coughed lightly, and then said, "My lord, is this the writing of your left hand?" ”

Li Zhen felt bitter in his heart, but nodded solemnly, and said solemnly: "Mr.'s eyes are like torches, and he is really powerful." I've been practicing left-handed handwriting lately and trying to write. Alas, it's a pity that it's still difficult to get into the hall of elegance. ”

Fan Kai stood next to him, his face was so blushing that he almost laughed.

He opened his mouth, saw Li Zhen's murderous gaze, forcibly held back, and said: "Mr. Liu, in fact, when it comes to left-handed writing, it is enough to be proud of being able to write such an effect. ”

Liu Taiping nodded and said, "That's right, after all, it's the word of the left hand." ”

Li Zhen was completely speechless, and secretly said that Fan Kai was too bad.

Liu Taiping asked, "My lord sent someone to invite the old man, is there anything wrong?" ”

Li Zhen said: "Here's the thing, all aspects of the bank have been done, and it has been named Great China Bank. Now I need an inscription, although my words are okay, after all, the pen is insufficient, please Mr. Liu to write on my behalf. ”

Fan Kai was amused in his heart, and interjected: "Mr. Liu's font is strong, just right." ”

When Liu Taiping heard that his words were about to be hung out, he was immediately excited, and said loudly: "Okay, the old man is ugly." ”

He walked to the desk, crumpled the paper written by Li Zhen and threw it away, and laid out a piece of rice paper again. Liu Taiping lifted the pen and concentrated for a moment before starting to write. Liu Taiping's words are as Fan Kai commented, strong and powerful, the pen is a dragon and snake, and the five big characters of 'Great China Bank' leap on the paper, into the wood.

Liu Taiping signed Li Zhen's name, put down the pen, and said, "My lord, now you only need to stamp the seal." ”

Li Zhen did as he said, took out the seal, and stamped it at the place where he signed off.

The handwriting was dry, Fan Kai put away the rice paper, and said, "The matter is settled, and I will retire next." ”

Liu Taiping also got up to say goodbye, and the two left the study together, muttering quietly as they walked. Seeing this, Li Zhen had a bad premonition in his heart, especially looking at Fan Kai's upright back, he felt that this guy was unreliable, and he must have told Liu Taiping that his handwriting was like an earthworm wriggling.

Blunder! What a mistake!

Li Zhen sighed again and again, looked up at the sky, and looked sad.
