Chapter 173: Music Box
On the first day of its opening, Datang People's Bank reached nearly 3,000 visitors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 As of noon on the same day, more than 30 customers had already handled the deposit business on the spot, but most of the customers who deposited money were retail investors, and none of the money deposited was more than 2,000 taels. Only one person saved a huge sum of 20,000 taels, and Manager Wang couldn't remember the appearance of that person, and Manager Wang only vaguely remembered that the person's registered hometown was Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and the name of the head of the household was "Chen Tianli", who was engaged in selling alcohol for a living.
After noon, the number of people who came to watch or join in the fun in the afternoon was obviously less than half. It's just that whether they have been to the store or have never been to the store, they seem to be secretly discussing all aspects of the Datang People's Bank. It even became the topic of acquaintances meeting and greeting and the focus of after-dinner chat. Li Tianyu was very satisfied with this.
The current money bank is actually an institution similar to a fund company, which is a kind of ticket number issued by the money bank itself, but it imitates the structure of the silver ticket. The function of this ticket number is actually equivalent to a dead passbook, which cannot be spent alone, and you must wait for the time limit to go to the bank to withdraw the storage fee in cash before you can squander. As a result, some of the well-off retail investors are unable to deposit silver, and those squires and tyrants with a lot of wealth look down on this kind of small workshop. This is also why those money banks are not favored by the general public, but Li Tianyu's bank has just opened, but it is eager to do so.
At noon, Li Tianyu pulled everyone to find a restaurant to eat and drink in a high-profile manner, during which Li Tianyu did not forget to take a deck of cards and play with everyone to drink the order. It's just that after the experience of getting drunk last time, Li Tianyu controlled the scene very well this time. In this way, it ended after an hour, and then at Li Tianyu's suggestion, everyone also said goodbye, and Han Di'er was also sent back to the house in Kang Yibing's carriage.
Li Tianyu looked at the three beauties who had gone away, and couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "Three women in one play, choose their protagonists to marry, and their supporting roles to marry." ”
As soon as these words came out, they were immediately squinted at by Chen Youliang and Cui Hao beside them.
After returning to the bank, Li Tianyu gathered all the staff in the store, held a brief meeting with them, and then threw a thousand taels of bills to Zhao Tianba and Manager Wang, asking them to treat everyone well in the evening on their behalf. As for the headquarters, he also plans to transfer the Supreme Treasure back tomorrow and continue to guard the headquarters with Li Feng. In a few days, after this side is completely on the right track, even Zhao Tianba will be transferred back together. Although this bank is the right way, the strength of his own gang must also develop simultaneously, not to mention anything else, just compared to the salt gang, maybe they can't do it now. Fortunately, the Tongyan Gang has not yet reached the point of desperate work. However, after all, there are no eternal enemies and friends, only eternal interests.
"In other words, Di'er's calligraphy and painting skills are really good, and she is worthy of being a person from a scholarly family. It seems that my bandit name of 'Yangzhou's No. 1 Genius' is still a little inferior. "It's noisy, the people from this scholarly family are different, I feel like I'm born with some skill bonuses, and I think the level of this old man Han must be a professional player who has updated to the latest version.
"Tianyu, tell me, what are you plotting to whisper with others three times twice in the morning?" Chen Youliang asked with interest, and Cui Hao also looked at Li Tianyu expectantly.
"It's nothing, it's just that Old Man Han said that he was going to leave for Jinling in advance, so he wanted Di'er to come to the Li Mansion for two nights." Li Tianyu replied lightly to the two.
"I see." Chen Youliang said with a little disappointment.
"So, Brother Tian, do you agree?"
"I agree there's a fart. That old guy couldn't wipe his face, so he didn't do Di'er's ideological work in advance, and then he didn't have to let me bite the bullet to tell Di'er. Fortunately, the whole process was not as laborious as expected. ”
"Come on, such a good thing has been put on your stall, so don't pretend to complain anymore." Cui Hao said as if he had seen through it while pouring his head down the tea.
"You said that if everyone in Yangzhou City knew that Miss Han was going to your house to spend the night, would the front of the Li Mansion be as lively as when the bank opened today." Chen Youliang said as if talking to himself.
"I think there will be a lot of people who will go to the Li Mansion to smash the field like the troublemaker before. At that time, Brother Tian, you will have to prepare thousands of silver tickets for a thousand taels in advance. Cui Hao gloated.
"If anyone dares to come, I will just take the cash and stone them to death. Not to mention a thousand taels, twenty catties of silver ingots can kill people, and one thousand taels is enough for me to kill three. However, for the sake of peace at home, it is better not to make a noise. Oh, by the way, Youliang, who sent the troublemaker before? ”
"Guess who it is?"
"Looking at the contemptuous and ridiculous look on your face, I don't think the other party is a bit of a character. Could it be a malicious run between peers? No, if you ask like that, it means that this person must have crossed paths with me, and he should be a character who is relatively easy to ignore. Could it be that you kid secretly sent it? Li Tianyu speculated thoughtfully.
"Poof-Brother Tian, you are not shocking. Why don't you say it's sent by your uncle? Cui Hao squirted out the tea in his mouth when he heard this, but fortunately, Li Tianyu had already taken precautions, so this spray did not hit any target, but it attracted the strange eyes of Manager Wang and Ah Fu at the counter.
"Yes, by the way, we made such a big fuss here today, why haven't we seen Lord Li and Lord Liu coming? Could it be that Tianyu is deliberately hiding it from them? Chen Youliang asked curiously.
"Come on, my dad knew about it when I wrote those six words on the wall. As for the leaflet, it really won't have been handed out at the door of the government. But I think they're right. Although Li Tianyu was also a little surprised, he was relieved when he thought that his father and Uncle Liu were officials of the imperial court, and they still had to avoid suspicion.
When Chen Youliang and Cui Hao heard this, they understood what they were secretly showing, and the two nodded thoughtfully.
"Youliang, that person was sent by Wang Gongzi's group of bastards, right?" Li Tianyu suddenly asked.
"So you guessed it a long time ago."
"Not really. To be honest, the reason why I didn't know they did it in the first place was because their presence was so small. If these shrimp soldiers and crabs come to make trouble again, they will directly hand it over to Tianba to deal with. Li Tianyu waved his hand indifferently and said. Thinking about it, with Zhao Tianba's means, he would definitely make those bastards succumb to his lewdness and authority.
"But are we really just keeping that silver here all the time?" Chen Youliang asked suspiciously.
"It's just opened. If we directly use the money to invest in the project, in the event of a large-scale divestment, what will we give to the heads of households? There is no need to worry, I have already told Manager Wang, after a while, when there are more people who save money, let him launch a high-yield dead deposit business. The top priority is to first knock out our bank, try to attract as many customers as possible who come to deposit money, and strive to make the entire Datang people completely accept such financial services. Li Tianyu also knew that it would be difficult for them to reverse their attitudes at once, after all, financial institutions like banks that put a long-term line or even directly spread the net of whales in the sky are unheard of and unseen at the moment.
"In this way, it is very likely that you will lose money and make money in the early stage." Cui Hao said coolly on the side.
"Originally, the bank was planned to be based on the long-term. Besides, in addition to those who speculated in the past few years, the rest of the people who really made money and silver mountains did not have a history of several decades. The reason why the 100-year-old brand has been able to stand is because they already have their own loyal customer base. However, our bank will not need to use decades, and if the development goes well, it will be able to start earning income next year. Therefore, this mentality of quick success is unacceptable, as long as it can continue to develop with the gang, it will be satisfied. Li Tianyu said solemnly.
After hearing this, Chen Youliang and Cui Hao also acquiesced deeply and said that it is true that the expenses of this gang in front of them are not a small amount, and more importantly, this expenditure is as endless as a rushing river.
"Oh! Gam! You're here, Lee. A stiff Chinese came from the door, and then I saw a blond and blue-eyed Yi person walking in.
"Mr. John, how did you find here? I thought you had already returned home? Li Tianyu greeted the person warmly, and that person was none other than John, the Chancellor of the Exchequer from the Anglolands.
"I've been in Yangzhou City recently, but I've been watched a little closely by Leader Yu, so it's always inconvenient for me to come out in private. I was leaving for Angoland tomorrow, so I had the opportunity to go for a walk. Mr. John continued to explain to everyone in that crappy Tang dialect, and shrugged his shoulders rather comically.
"Hahaha, how about it, Brother John, now I have seen the power of our heroes among the Tang women. It's a pity that you left in such a hurry this time, and you happened to catch up with me, the Datang people's gangke, which has just opened, otherwise, I will definitely take you to the entertainment club to relax and relax, and let you feel the hospitality of our outstanding young women in Datang. Li Tianyu joked openly, and at the same time, he also figured out the idea of fighting this ghost in his heart.
"Li, the way you laugh makes me feel like I've met a friend in another country. It is a great honor for me to be able to meet you in Yangzhou this time. I don't have any good gifts to show at the moment, so this music box can be regarded as a small gift for you before parting. Please take it. After that, John took out a small and delicate wooden box from his arms and handed it to Li Tianyu.
"Why should Mr. John be so polite? If you do this, it seems that I, the host, are not righteous, and I am really embarrassed to say that I have nothing to give you when you are leaving. Although Li Tianyu said so selflessly, there was no trace of shyness in the movements of his hands.
After Li Tianyu took the wooden box, he couldn't wait to open it on the spot, only to see a crown-shaped music box come into view, and the crown was even inlaid with a circle of tiny diamonds. Chen Youliang and Cui Hao, who were on the side, couldn't help but shine with their eyes after witnessing it.
