Chapter 9 Ticket Number (I)
,
Kangxi is not in the capital, there is no need to go to the court, and Yinzhen has no errands, but he has taken half a day every day to wander around these days, Wangfujing, Dashilar, Liulichang, overpass, small market street, Yaowang Temple...... Wandering aimlessly and doing nothing counts.
Yinzhen wandered around like this, Bao Fuquan and a cadre of guards had no opinion, but a few people who followed behind were tired, Yinzhen picked a place that was easy to be exposed, and the most important thing was to test the technique of stalking, which could neither be detected nor lose the target, so he could only keep changing people, but how many people could follow out at a time?
Yinzhen was secretly laughing and almost got angry, tracking and anti-tracking, we have learned it specially, as far as you are at the level, it is too amateurish. However, after finding out the general situation of the other party, he was too lazy to toss them again, who was staring, he could think of it with his feet, so he could only pretend to be confused.
Haifeng has not been idle these days, he turned around near Xuanwumen for a few days, and finally found a house in Da'er Hutong, Yinzhen followed to take a look, it is not very far from Nantang, and the traffic is also convenient, although it is a little remote, but it is better to be clean, and it is rare to occupy a wide area.
Yinzhen said with satisfaction: "Well, just this place, take it down, and then find someone to rebuild it, and ask a few more nurses." ”
"Fourteenth master, this place is good, but the price is a bit old." Hai Feng said a little embarrassed.
"Oh, how much?"
"Two thousand six hundred taels."
"Value." Yinzhen said without hesitation, "Let's go, go back and get the silver." ”
On the way back, Yinzhen naturally thought of the silver ticket, how convenient it is to have a silver ticket, the current silver transaction is too troublesome, when did this silver ticket appear? Anyway, there is no such thing as now, and at the current level of printing, you don't have to think about it, the anti-counterfeiting level is too difficult.
Anti-counterfeiting, anti-counterfeiting, although the anti-counterfeiting technology of later generations is as much as a cow's hair, but Yinzhen doesn't understand it at all, a little bit of skin but can't figure it out, that's all about chemical raw materials, simple, Yinzhen couldn't help but stop, secret, Shanxi ticket number of the secret, isn't it the simplest anti-counterfeiting?
The ticket number, the Shanxi ticket number in the late Qing Dynasty is known as the world, thinking of the later generations of banks all over the country, he can't help but be excited,
Looking at the fourteenth with shiny eyes and an excited face, and Haifeng both looked around vigilantly, but didn't see anything unusual, Da Chun couldn't help but whisper in confusion, "Fourteen masters, fourteen masters." ”
"Wait." Yinzhen waved his hand, then waved his fist vigorously, and muttered, "What is the secret charge, there are more powerful anti-counterfeiting methods." ”
"Haifeng, is there a ticket number in the capital?"
"Ticket number? The minions have not heard of it, but there are many silver trumpets. ”
Yinzhen asked: "Which one in the capital has the largest silver number and the best reputation?" ”
Hai Feng didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Four Hengs." Bayi Chinese~"
"Four constants, four constants." Yinzhen frowned and muttered, could it be the four constant ticket numbers of 'stepping on the inline and wrapping the four constants around the waist'? And there you have it? It's a century-old brand. "Haifeng, take my post and go to see the shopkeeper of the Four Hengs, and say that I will ask him to come over to talk about it."
"Go now?" Haifeng is in the air.
"Yes, go right away." Yinzhen's heart is hot, the ticket number, if there is a ticket number that can connect the world, he will not worry about silver in the future.
The shopkeeper of the 'Four Hengs', Zheng Shichang, a native of Zhenhai, Zhejiang, is 65 years old this year, and Kangxi entered Beijing in the 42nd year to open the 'Four Hengs'. Zheng Shichang has a broad vision, long-term, adventurous spirit, "four Heng" from the establishment of the credibility in the first place, with a huge amount of capital, "four Heng" soon in the capital to play their own name, he is very clear, in the capital does not have a deep background and broad contacts, simply can not stand for a long time, so, after the fame, he wantonly absorbed the capital officials and nobles of the deposits, on time to give them dividends.
In this way, he quickly weaved an invisible network of relationships in the capital, and the 'Four Hengs' also had a situation of dominating the capital in the capital.
There is a way that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, although the 'Four Hengs' is a smash hit, but Zheng Shichang is bitter and knows that the annual dividend expenditure is a huge expense, and he is almost out of breath because of the pressure on him, and what is more troublesome is that as the reputation and reputation of the 'Four Hengs' become more and more famous, there are still people he dare not offend to save silver, and his current situation can be said to be dancing on the tip of a knife.
Zheng Shichang met Yan Haifeng in the house, and heard that it was the fourteenth elder brother who invited him to go to the mansion for a while, and he couldn't help but be confused, he and the fourteenth elder brother had never crossed paths in their lives, how did they think of inviting me to the mansion today? Is it also that I want to save money in the 'Four Great Constants', and it's not right, these things are generally done by the housekeeper, where is the reason to meet you in person?
Zheng Shichang was apprehensive in his heart, and asked Haifeng in words, where did Haifeng hurry up and talk nonsense, it was just a strong urging, Zheng Shichang was helpless, and explained a few words to his family, and then took a small sedan chair carrying 'two people carrying' with Haifeng.
Entering the Fourteen Beizi Mansion, Zheng Shichang didn't dare to look around, just lowered his head and followed Hai Feng, and he didn't know how many courtyards he had worn and came to the door of a small courtyard, so he listened to Hai Feng and said: "You wait here, I'll go in and report." ”
After a while, Hai Feng came out and led him to the door of a house, and said softly, "You go into the reading pavilion by yourself." ”
Zheng Shichang also held his breath, walked in very calmly, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a handsome young man, standing behind the desk in civilian clothes, looking at him with a smile.
Zheng Shichang hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt down and said, "The grass people meet the fourteenth master." ”
"Get up and read the pavilion, no need to be polite." Yinzhen said and walked over quickly, helped Zheng Shichang a hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the shopkeeper Zheng to be so old, Yinzhen urgently recruited you to come over today, but it was Meng Lang." ”
"How dare you, how dare you, the fourteenth master's words are killing the little old man."
"Shopkeeper Zheng doesn't need to be restrained, please take a seat." Saying that, Yinzhen instructed again: "Look at the tea." ”
After the subordinates retreated, Yinzhen said with a smile: "Please invite the shopkeeper Zheng to come today, there is something to discuss." ”
Zheng Shichang dared to hold it up, and said humbly: "Don't dare, what does the fourteenth master command, please say." ”
Yinzhen saw that it was not a matter to be polite, so he said straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Zheng has heard of the ticket number?" ”
"Ticket number." Zheng Shichang's eyes lit up suddenly, in the past two years, he has been constantly pondering how to develop the new business of the 'Four Heng', this non-local exchange of the bill business is purely profitable in the silver number industry, the handling fee of each business alone is five percent, I don't know how many silver numbers are red, he has also worked this, but he has not been able to enter the door in terms of anti-counterfeiting and confidentiality of the ticket, so he has not dared to put it on the agenda, but he suddenly heard Yinzhen mention the ticket number here? Could it be that this fourteenth master wants to issue a ticket number?
Thinking of this, Zheng Shichang's spirit was shocked, and he said slowly: "There are now silver tickets for exchange in the capital, but they are extremely simple and crude, although the 'Four Heng' has a heart, but there are no proper measures in the anti-counterfeiting and confidentiality of the ticket. ”
Hearing this, Yinzhen knew that he had found the right person, so he said easily: "Shopkeeper Zheng, I have full anti-counterfeiting and confidentiality measures, is Shopkeeper Zheng willing to join hands with me?" ”
