Chapter 263: A wave of unevenness rises again and again
scolded Zhao Xu for a while, everyone also felt bored, no one knew where to run, and he couldn't be scolded to death, what really mattered was how to get through the hurdle in front of him, the big guy looked at Tang Yi bitterly.
"Tang Gongzi, you show us a clear way"
Tang Yi wanted to open his mouth, but hesitated again, glanced at Xu Wei, who was idle and fartful, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen, how about you tell the big guy?" ”
"Hmm!"
Xu Wei exhaled heavily, tilting his head with a look of no one in his eyes.
"What else is there to say, didn't you prescribe the medicine? The key is credit, just ask today's Suzhou, who has the most credit, who can save everyone. ”
Who?
Everyone was confused, and Pang Ce muttered: "Credit? Wang Chonggu, the four big money banks? ”
"Stupid!" Xu Wei scolded angrily: "Jin Shang will not help you if he has credit!" Listen, in this crisis, who contributed the most to stabilize prices, who provided cheap cotton cloth and charcoal when everything was rising, and who brought a huge amount of grain to defeat the counterattack of Zhao Xu and others? ”
Xu Wei asked a series of questions, and everyone woke up like a dream, and a pair of hot eyes stared at Tang Yi's body, almost staring at him.
Think about the past few days, Tang Yi sold a lot of necessities such as cotton cloth and charcoal.
The big guys still scoffed, thinking that this guy didn't make money with money, and he was simply sick in the brain. It was only at this time that everyone understood that daring to love others was far-sighted.
Just ask the whole Suzhou, who else can get the unanimous trust of the people, not the prefect's yamen, not the four big money banks that won a big victory, but the traffic line!
One will never hoard, never raise prices, and do conscientious business. The transportation industry that earns profits perfectly interprets what a conscientious enterprise is, even if it is a time-honored brand for many years, it has been compared. There is strength, prestige, and credit. The big guy has finally found a lifesaver.
They all rushed to Tang Yi, gossiping, begging him for help.
"You still haven't listened to me, can you save one, save two, save everyone?"
Everyone was dumbfounded again, Tang Yi smiled confidently: "The traffic bank can take the lead, you all take a stake in the traffic bank, and take the way of mutual guarantee." Everyone twisted into a rope, promised the people, and exchanged tickets in installments. Tang Yi said faintly: "Don't tell me, you have been in Suzhou for so many years, and you can't get trust?" ”
Pang Ce hurriedly said: "Tang Gongzi, let's not hide it, the cash in our hands has been exhausted, let us invest in the transportation industry." We can't get any money, can we? ”
"Hehe, that's easy. Don't you have a ticket in your hand, which can be used as share capital, but at a triple discount! Tang Yi said lightly, but listening to the ears of these people, it was like dripping blood.
Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, and Tang Yi, this kid, seems to be loyal and benevolent. But it's not ambiguous at all. They can all foresee that the value of the ticket will be restored, and it will lose at least two or three million taels.
But can you not agree?
Obviously don't dare!
Tang Yi finally left a way for everyone to live, and after the traffic line integrated the market in Suzhou. As shareholders, they will have many benefits in the future, and it will not be difficult to recover the losses, and they can even go to the next level.
If it is the integration of Jin merchants, then the big guy will be in a big disaster, and he will be guaranteed to be eaten to the bones.
"Done! We agreed! ”
……
Under the witness of Wei Liangfu, Tang Yi and 23 representatives of the gentry and wealthy businessmen in Suzhou signed the shareholding documents, and with their joining, the share capital of the Bank of Communications exceeded 10 million taels in one fell swoop, reaching 11.5 million taels, becoming the largest money bank in the whole Ming Dynasty.
Although the sum of the four major money banks of Jin Shang is still more than twice that of the transportation industry, Tang Yi already has the strength to fight.
The day after he became a shareholder, Tang Yi instigated the twenty-three companies to come forward and issued a statement.
There are three articles in total: first, apologize for participating in speculation and raising prices, which has affected people's lives; Second, all tickets are valid, just take the old tickets to each store to exchange for new tickets, the discount is 50%, and the new tickets are a unified system, you can go to any store to exchange for any equivalent items; Thirdly, all shops and tickets in the traffic bank will provide the final guarantee to ensure that the commitment is fulfilled.
The core of the proclamation is in the second article, which is Tang Yi's prescription to solve the problem of coupons, the emergence of coupons is the inevitable result of economic development, and blind strangulation is self-destruction of the future. However, the loss of control of coupons is even more terrifying, small businesses such as dim sum shops, butcher shops, and grain stores, even if the shops are less than 200 taels of silver, they dare to issue coupons of tens of thousands of taels, which is simply nonsense.
After the rectification, all small businesses were withdrawn, and sales tickets were not allowed. In the future, ticket trading will focus on commodities, such as rice, flour, cotton, silk, tea, and so on.
The Bank of Communications will set up a trading center for investors to buy and sell.
Although his method discounted the old coupons in half, and the common people lost a lot, it was better than worthless. And because the ticket can be traded at any store, it actually greatly enhances the liquidity, which is even better than a silver ticket.
The people scrambled to exchange for new coupons, and in the blink of an eye, waste paper became a treasure again, and the people who got the new coupons began to purchase frantically, and the consumption enthusiasm that had been suppressed for several months was released.
Soon all the shops ushered in the peak of business, the traffic bank was responsible for providing sufficient material guarantees, and the market that had fallen to the freezing point was heating up again, and the speed of recovery was far beyond everyone's imagination, including Wang Chonggu!
The prefect was furious, angry to the extreme!
The taste is like boiling a pot of soup and preparing to eat it, so that people can take the pot away. He used to thank Tang Yi a lot, and he hated him at the moment.
Wang Chonggu even gritted his teeth, wanting to rush to Tang Yi's house and pinch this kid to death, but there were wolf soldiers and village warriors around him, Wang Chonggu didn't dare to risk a big fight, and the jade was burned.
But he was resentful, changed into his official uniform, prepared a full set of honor guards, and prepared to go to Xingshi to ask for guilt. Before he could act, Wang Ru came to report.
"My lord, Tang Yi is here!"
"Good boy! Let him get in! ”
Wang Chonggu didn't even talk about any etiquette, and after a while, Tang Yi was still in a pale gray Confucian shirt, full of spring breeze, and when he arrived at the signing room, he respectfully saluted Wang Chonggu.
"The student has seen the sir."
"Students? The old man doesn't have a student like you! Wang Chonggu suddenly stood up, rushed in front of Tang Yi, almost face to face, and scolded angrily: "Tang Yi, Tang Xingzhi!" You want to learn Zhuge Liang's filial piety, right? The old man told you, I'm not Zhou Yu, I'm not so easy to be angry, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, and we'll see. If the old man doesn't take revenge, he will not be a man! ”
Wang Chonggu is really mad, he doesn't bring such a trick.
He worked hard, mobilized tens of millions of silver, and worked hard with Zhao Xu, and it was easy to harvest the fruit. The four major money banks are waiting to squeeze the shops one by one, and then buy the bottom at a low price to complete the whale swallowing.
On the first day, they took over more than 20 shops, and on the second day, they soared to 35, and when Hou Yunlai and others clapped their hands, fewer and fewer shops fell, and on the fifth day there were only single digits, and on the sixth day, there was not a single one.
They were amazed and hurriedly investigated, only to find out that the traffic bank had injected money into all the shops, which was not very large, but it represented a reversal of confidence.
Then the proclamation of the twenty-three families came out, and Wang Chonggu and Jin Shang suddenly realized that their former allies had already become opponents, and Tang Yi was unceremoniously harvesting their crops.
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
"Tang Xingzhi, the old man doesn't want to see you, let me out now!" Wang Chonggu pulled his neck and roared.
Tang Yi didn't get angry at all, but smiled: "Sir." ”
"Don't call me sir!"
"Okay, Lord Fuzun, the grass people want to ask, what did you do wrong, so that Mr. is so angry, please make it clear?"
Wang Chonggu really wanted to pounce and tear Tang Yi's little face apart, but if there was anything wrong, he really couldn't say it! Tang Yi only promised him to help stabilize prices, and it was the same from beginning to end. In all fairness, without Tang Yi's help, he would not be able to suppress the price of food at all, and it is very likely that he will capsize in the gutter.
Wang Chonggu was grateful to Tang Yi for this, but he couldn't accept Tang Yi's behavior of picking peaches. They work hard, the bamboo basket is empty, and the depressed taste can make people go crazy.
After a full quarter of an hour, Wang Chonggu took a long breath and suddenly laughed, laughing like a night owl, desolate and weird, and creepy.
"The old man is really confused, knowing that you are resourceful and thoughtful, and he dares to ask you to come over to help, so that he is bought by others, and he has to help others count the money, the old man is really the biggest fool in the world!" Wang Chonggu hung his chest, banging, and was extremely sad and angry.
Tang Yi said solemnly: "Whether you admit me as a student or not, since the shortage of food in Suzhou, Mr. has admired all kinds of deeds, if one day I shepherd one side, I will definitely take Mr. as an example." ”
"You're insulting the old man!" Wang Chonggu sneered contemptuously: "Tang Yi, you are clever, the old man is just a poor worm used by you, now the gentry of Suzhou are only looking forward to you, compared to me, the empty shell prefect, you Tang Yi is the real master of Suzhou, the old man really wants to congratulate you." Good students, let's have three drinks! ”
Without allowing Tang Yi to speak, Wang Chonggu took the wine glass, filled it with three in a row, and drank it all up. Putting down the wine glass, Wang Chonggu smiled with relief: "The ancients cut their robes and cut off their righteousness, and cut off their friendships. You and I have made trouble to that point, the world knows that the master and apprentice turn against each other, not only you, but the old man will also become the laughing stock of Shilin. These three glasses of wine, even if they are broken wine, from now on, the relationship between you and me is not there, how many open swords and dark arrows, my king Chonggu suffers. Tang Yi, you also have to remember that those who dare to spoil the old man's good deeds will not end well! The last sentence almost roared out.
Tang Yi was prepared before he came, just as he taught the gentry that he was from Suzhou, and it was impossible to act as a thug for the Jin merchants, and it was inevitable that he would fall out, and he did not regret it.
Tang Yi bowed deeply, took out something from his arms, and put it in front of Wang Chonggu, Wang Chonggu was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "What, you still want to bribe the old man?" ”
"The student doesn't dare, this silver ticket of one thousand taels was accidentally discovered by my subordinates, and someone secretly made a fake silver ticket for the four major banks, please pay attention to Mr."
After speaking, Tang Yi turned around and floated away, leaving only Wang Chonggu, who was stunned, staring at the silver ticket in front of him. (To be continued.) )
