Chapter 60: Wang Wei (I)
After the fundraising is completed, everything is ready, and the opening of the bank has been completed nine-tenths of the way.
He instructed Fu Cheng Lao Li to check the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the third day of the seventh month is a good day for the angels, which is decided.
The bank's affairs have been busy for nearly half a month, but in fact, the steps are still very simple, that is, to raise funds and then lend money. With the usury mechanism of the princess's mansion as the foundation, it is not difficult for the bank to operate, and Xu Chen is still relatively confident in this bank.
Li Shuang'er's high-quality fabric is still on the way, if there is no mistake in the palace, it should be able to make a difference, and now seeing that the house is busy because of this bank, I can't help but be curious, and I learned from the mouth of the house that this horse seems to be some business materials, so Li Shuang'er is depressed, this person can compose poetry, practice martial arts, teach, and make money? Is he really a martial artist from the countryside? ……
Xu Chen and Li also went to the newly renovated store in the afternoon, which was on the long street in the center of the square, and it was completely made according to Xu Chen's design. The door is four meters wide. More than two meters high, which is relatively alternative in ancient times, the façade is just no matter how bold it is, it is not much use, just like a bookstore, you build ten meters wide and few people go in, it is also in vain.
The predecessor of this bank was to rent two stores, one was a cloth shop and the other was a tea shop, both of which were relatively large.
Entering this relatively large façade is the living room, this living room is bigger than the princess's house, there are many benches in the hall for people to rest, behind is a window set up in imitation of a modern bank, in fact, the bank does not need too many furnishings, the one who comes in is not to save money or to borrow money, the key is the number of business windows.
In the last iron door is the vault, which is the lifeblood of the bank, and it is naturally made like an iron bucket, and there are only two keys that are all placed in Xu Chen.
Generally speaking, this bank is still relatively grand and modern, and there are not many stores of such a large size in Chang'an. Xu Chen was very satisfied after shopping around, so he thought about whether he had to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony on the opening day, and invited some celebrities and powerful people to come over and cheer him on to increase his popularity.
First of all, I actually thought of Shen Sisi in Yixiang Courtyard, if I could invite her, I couldn't think of a famous bank. But just thinking about it like this, Shen Sisi is also a person, he just came into contact with her by chance, and her appearance of being high above is not someone else's fireworks, Xu Chen still remembers it vividly.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony needs to be done, so I asked the people in the house to prepare an invitation and send it out early tomorrow morning. When I turned my head and thought about it, I still left it to Li Ye to do it, Li Ye was more effective in handling things, and he knew many people.
I also specially told Shen Sisi to send a copy too, if you can come, it is better, it doesn't matter if you don't come, and you don't have to hope much.
After the two sat in the store for a while, it was already dusk, and when it was time for dinner, Xu Chen and Li also went to a nearby restaurant.
This street is the central street of Fangli, this place is the central block, naturally more prosperous, restaurants and teahouses, this restaurant, naturally there is the eldest princess's house.
Li also deliberately dragged Xu Chen into the restaurant of the eldest princess's house, where you can sit upstairs to blow the wind without money, and the two went to the second floor to find a place by the window to sit down, and the handyman ran over to Li Ye and called the little prince, Xu Chen knew that this shop was the eldest princess's house.
The eldest princess has a lot of property, not only business, but also a well-known landlord in the capital, with thousands of tenants, and its scale is really breathtaking.
This restaurant was opened by the eldest princess's family, and the guy in this shop was the little prince of the people, so he naturally went to report to the boss. Li also took the menu and picked expensive points, Xu Chen didn't stop him, and he didn't have to pay for it himself.
While the two were waiting for the dishes, Li also talked about the wine he drank last night, "Uncle hasn't been drunk for more than ten years, and when he woke up the next day, he forgot to drink, and he just remembered that you had been here."
I knew that this old boy was playing with the bomb, but fortunately, my aunt had already told me about the money, no, 100,000 taels are in hand, how is my brother-in-law going to thank me? ”
The eldest princess's mansion is rich, but the 100,000 taels are still beyond Xu Chen's expectations, and she will take out so much money. Just as he wanted to praise Li Ye a few words, he heard a table next to him shouting.
There are more than a dozen tables in the hall on the second floor, and there are not many people eating, so this noise naturally provokes everyone's attention.
When I turned my head, I saw that it was two old men, these two people were dressed in Confucian clothes, full of silver hair, but they were in a state of shock, and these two people actually laughed.
"Can you still pay your debts? Why, Chengnan has worn out your old bones in the past few years. The old man who spoke was relatively fat, and although he was old, his face looked very round.
"I can't say that, I promised you to make that painting at the beginning, on the condition that you help me find a Zen scripture, but you didn't find it, why are you embarrassed to ask me to paint?" The old man sitting opposite him was already rickety, with a long beard, a thinner beard, and a much smaller face.
Although the two old men raised their mouths, there was no warm and angry expression on their faces, but they were a little more serious, and obviously they didn't take it to heart.
"Hey, you and I have been friends for decades, why is it more difficult to ask you for a painting than to ascend to the sky? No, this time you want to leave me a pair of what you say, you enter Beijing this time, I don't know when you will come next time, in case you return to the West in that Buddhist hall, my paintings, but I can't ask for it! The fat old man laughed to himself.
The thin old man was a little apprehensive and said: "If you don't find me a Zen scripture, I don't have to mention the painting again, even if I go with the Buddha, I won't give it to you." ”
The fat old man saw that he was resolute, so he said "hey", and said: "Okay, you old boy, why are you still unreasonable, the gentleman is hard to chase after him, do you really want to cheat?" ”
The fat old man was anxious when he saw that he couldn't do anything, and he swept around and found that the people at the table next to him were looking at them, so he said angrily: "Come, please ask this little Langjun to comment on whether this old master Wang is relying on my account." ”
The fat old man said to Xu Chen, he meant to let Xu Chen help extinguish this dispute, Xu Chen saw that these two old men should be old friends, because of a little disagreement, this caused a conflict, since the old man called himself to judge, it was not easy to excuse himself, the two tables were close to each other, and he sat down.
