Chapter 48: Fuxiang Money Village is open!
Almost overnight, merchants of all sizes in Chang'an City received a gilded invitation, and a thin layer of gold leaf was branded on the cover of the invitation, and the whole invitation looked very atmospheric.
The handwriting on it reads:
Fuxiang Money Village opens, please come!
What is a money bank? Everyone has not heard of it, but everyone knows that this Fuxiang pawnshop is a time-honored brand in Chang'an City, and the scale and reputation are also among the best.
And it is said that the owner of this Fuxiang pawn shop is the royal family, so there is no second shop in the entire Chang'an City that dares to call Fuxiang.
Take a closer look at the signing of this invitation, Pei An!
This is not the shopkeeper of the Fuxiang pawnshop, why did you come to this money shop as the shopkeeper, does it have anything to do with these two shops?
When they arrived at the place, these bosses found out that this was not a Fuxiang pawn shop!
The original sign was replaced with a new one, with the four big characters of Fuxiang Qianzhuang written on it, and the whole shop was decorated, and Pei An, the shopkeeper, was smiling at the door to welcome customers.
"Oops, Boss Li is here, please please inside! What's the business of the grain store doing lately? ”
"Liu Yuanwai, rare guests, please come in!"
After a while, businessmen of all sizes came.
The inside of the shop was not small, and everyone found that the original table had been removed, and the bookkeepers were replaced by Mr. Ledger, wielding a copper abacus and crackling.
The hall is filled with flowers of all colors, and the furnishings around it are all valuable.
"Thank you for your appreciation today, come to participate in the opening ceremony of my Fuxiang Money Village, thank you on behalf of the owner!"
Pei An is about forty, with a fat body, and a round body that looks festive, not only in charge of pawn shops, but also several silk and jewelry shops in Dongshi are also shopkeepers, especially for treating people kindly, always smiling, and has a wide range of contacts.
"Boss Pei is polite, but how did this good pawn shop change into a money bank? What kind of thing is this bank? ”
Liu Dayou and Pei An are old friends, and they usually deal with Pei An, but today they are also confused, why did this good pawnshop suddenly become a money bank?
At this time, there are only some gold and silver shops and pawnshops that are also engaged in currency exchange business, and if it weren't for Li Hong, it would have been hundreds of years since the real appearance of the money bank, so these merchants are naturally puzzled.
Hearing Liu Dayou ask with a big grin, Pei An also had a smile on his face, pressed his hand and said.
"Boss Liu asked if the big guy must be a little puzzled, this money village is a new business researched by our owner, the big guy knows, sometimes this silver money is also troublesome, put it at home for fear of being remembered by thieves, to put the gold and silver shop to give people a storage fee, so our owner plans to open such a bank! To put it bluntly, this money bank is the keeper of the silver for the big guy. ”
Pei An slowed down, picked up the tea on the table and moistened his throat.
There are many large families who are afraid that it is not safe to put their own houses, so they will put some of them in the gold and silver shop, but everyone dares to do this by choosing old friends who have known each other for many years, and they have to set up a note in person, and there is a middleman to witness, which is very troublesome.
Moreover, not everyone is safe to leave their silver to others for safekeeping.
"That's what I said, but for no reason, why should we put the silver in this bank? What should I do if I lose it? ”
I don't know where a voice came from.
"This brother is right, why? If this money is placed in the bank, not only will it not be lost, but it will also make money! ”
Pei An still looked like he was smiling and said.
"Boss Pei said this and laughed? I have never heard that this silver can give birth to silver! ”
Liu Dayou has a big grinning temperament, and when he heard Pei An's words, he laughed and said.
"The old man is no longer hidden, the owner has already agreed with the government, the silver is stored in the bank, and it is directly put into the official treasury, and there is absolutely no problem with safety! And all of you have saved the money in front of the government to set up a note, when you want to take it out, when you take it out, if the money is in debt, the first one who does not let us go is the government! ”
Feudal official?!
Now the underground merchants are really shaken, is there a safer boundary in this Chang'an City than the government? If the money is put in the official mansion, it will definitely not be lost.
"Moreover, this silver is in the bank, not only does it not collect and keep the money, but the money bank will give you the silver at the end of the year, you say this is a good thing, where to find it!"
Pei An said slowly.
In fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, this silver was his own lifeline, and who would take it out for no reason.
But the owner insisted on doing this, and Pei An couldn't help it.
Sure enough, there was a commotion below and then calmed back, no one answered, what Pei An said was crazy, but who knows if it was true or not.
"Old man Rong asks more, how can this money bank make money if he does this!"
A shrewd-looking old man asked, twisting his beard.
"Of course, it is to make money, in addition to saving money, the bank also borrows money! Listen, everyone, this is not a seal money that eats people and does not spit out bones, as long as the mortgage is reasonable, the annual interest rate is 30%! ”
This is the main event, who is present when there is no money and is not convenient, he used to rely on pawns, but the pawned objects have to be doubled and redeemed in a month, and even the best Wen Tangli in the temple also has a monthly interest of two percent, three percent? Just kidding!
Pei An saw that the people below still didn't react, and couldn't help but get anxious, whether this money bank can be successful or not, but it depends on this move!
"What kind of broken shop is this, smash it for Young Master Ben!"
Everyone lowered their heads and was thinking, but they heard an arrogant voice from the front hall.
A handsome young man broke in with a few big men, and he couldn't help but start smashing directly!
Everyone was stunned, but in just a moment, a group of men in armor broke in, and when they entered the door, they subdued the group of troublemakers.
Before everyone could react, the fight was over.
Just listen to the leader in armor.
"Boss Pei, the silver has been deposited in your bank, but you can take care of it!"
As he spoke, he brought in some boxes of silver.
"The Legend of the East Palace!"
As the silver was brought in, the box accidentally flipped over, and several silver ingots fell out, and when even the sharp-eyed merchant exclaimed, the crowd suddenly stirred.
But Pei An ignored the crowd, commanded the bookkeeper to collect the money, set up a note, and hurried back.
Then the crowd dispersed in a hurry.
But when these merchants left, their eyes were burning, as if Pei An was a piece of gold.
Just now, those silvers are clearly the silver of the Inner Treasury of the East Palace, and those men are clearly the clothes of the guards of the Eastern Palace, could it be said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has stored the silver in this bank, and this money bank is safer than His Royal Highness's Inner Treasury?
Everyone was still hesitating, but after witnessing such a show, they immediately decided to put their own silver in the money bank after going back, after all, the government must be safer than their own house, and others kept it for themselves in vain, and the government did not worry about the money bank's debts, so why not!
ps: Plus more, plus more, plus more, Yueqi worked so hard to add more, what about your recommendation votes? Smash them all over!
