Chapter Eighty-Seven: Connecting the World

Liu Ze smiled, after all, the ticket number of Qianzhuang was something that only existed hundreds or thousands of years later, and it was normal for Jian Yong to not understand it. In the past few years of doing business, Liu Ze feels that the most difficult thing is the currency problem, every time he goes out, he has to prepare a large amount of gold, silver and copper coins, special car transportation, escort transportation, Jian Zhen is a burden. Needless to say, modern online banking transactions, with a click of the mouse, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of funds can be transferred, even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a few silver tickets can be exchanged in the country, convenient and fast. It is not possible to establish a modern banking system, but it should not be difficult to get a bank number. Thinking about the Shanxi ticket number of the rich side in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Liu Ze couldn't help but feel excited, money can make money, that is the supreme realm of making money.

Liu Ze said to Jian Yong: "The money bank ticket number is a business that uses money to make money. ”

Jian Yong was even more confused, and said, "Use money to make money? And how to make money? ”

"To put it simply, it is to open a number of money bank ticket numbers all over the country, someone in Luoyang to deposit 10,000 money, with the voucher after saving, you can get money in other parts of the country, such as Youzhou, such as Qingzhou or Chang'an or Bingzhou, of course, he needs to pay a certain exchange fee, such as five percent, can also be ten percent, the profit of the money bank ticket number is generated from here." Liu Ze gave him a detailed introduction.

Jian Yong realized something, and said: "This is similar to the money escorted by the dart board, and the dart is delivered in place A and B, but it seems that it can be much cheaper than the dart board." ”

Liu Ze nodded and said: "This is still essentially different from the dart game, the gold and silver of the dart game is the gold and silver of the owner of the goods itself, it can be said that the owner of the dart makes a mark, and you can also see this mark after arriving at the station, the money deposited in the ticket number in place A will not flow to place B, and the money that the owner gets can only be the same amount but will not be the original gold and silver." Due to the savings of a lot of manpower and material resources for transportation, the fee charged for the ticket number can be greatly reduced, but the profit is higher than that of the dart. Darts need to wait, but the ticket number exchange does not need to wait, that is, it can be done on arrival, and as long as the silver ticket is in hand, you can withdraw money at any time with any semicolon, and there is no need to pay it at a designated place and time like a dart. ”

Jian Yong has excellent business acumen, and after listening to Liu Ze's introduction, he faintly realized the "money way" of opening a ticket number, and nodded: "Yes, such money can indeed make money, and for merchants, it is more convenient and fast, and a silver ticket can be used all over the world." However, as soon as this ticket number is opened, it seems that it will have a great impact on the business of the dart game. ”

"It doesn't matter, the future business scope of the dart bureau can be transferred to the cargo escort, although the ticket number can replace the business of the dart bureau to deposit money, but the charge is irreplaceable. What's more, it is the freedom of the owner to choose the ticket number and the dart board, after all, the ticket number has just opened, and depositing a large amount of money into the ticket number is not something that ordinary people dare to do. ”

Jian Yong also chuckled, yes, I'm afraid that when the ticket number is opened, few people have the courage to deposit a large amount of money into the ticket number and then withdraw it elsewhere, in case they encounter a scammer, they will not lose their money. In the final analysis, this is a matter of credibility, as long as the ticket number adheres to credibility, I believe that the future is great.

Liu Ze continued: "I have been thinking about this money bank ticket number for a long time, but because the operation of the money bank ticket number requires a large amount of starting financial support, so this bill has been shelved for a long time, and now the time is ripe, you can establish the general number and semicolon in Luoyang and the major state cities, tentatively in Chang'an, Yecheng, Changyi, Linzi, Tancheng, Qiaoxian, Jinyang, Jixian to build eight branches, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou and Liangzhou due to our financial resources for the time being, can only give up, but this is only temporary, the goal of Huitong the world must be achieved. When troubled times come next year, all our business - silk, coal, porcelain and dart will come to a standstill, and after next year, the money bank ticket number will become our main business. ”

"Since the lord has decided that the world will be in turmoil next year, if the rebels capture the city, won't we suffer heavy losses?" Jian Yong would not have thought that those rebels would break through the city, and his subordinates would not be merciful and not rob the ticket number.

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "Although Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army is strong, he is afraid that he does not have the ability to break through the state city with strong city defenses, so the semicolons in various places are absolutely safe." In addition, I will also send some good hands to protect the semicolon and the semicolon treasury, as long as there is no large-scale robbery, the safety of the semicolon is still guaranteed. ”

Since he had made up his mind to build a money bank ticket number, Liu Ze went to prepare for it resolutely, and even he had already thought of the name of the ticket number, which was called "Huitong World". However, after spending a full 100,000 taels of gold, he got Zhang Rang's nod and agreed to get the business festival issued by the government, but it made Liu Ze's flesh hurt, and he scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the ten permanent servants in his heart. But under the low eaves, he had to bow his head, and finally Liu Ze swallowed this breath, the dark dynasties of officialdom abounded, and even the era of Liu Ze's previous life was not much better, and it was difficult to read.

Thinking that the Ten Standing Servants were also grasshoppers after the autumn - after a few days, Liu Ze was relieved, and viciously thought that if the Ten Standing Servants really fell into his hands in the future, they would have to spit it out with interest.

This is just Liu Ze's idea for a while, but a few years later, the ten permanent servants really spit out the money with interest, and it was a big spit out, this is a later story, not for the time being.

With the business festival, the gold-lettered signboard of "Huitong World" was quickly hung up on Luoyang Street. But Liu Ze was depressed that there were many people in the world, and people were curious onlookers, but no one was willing to deposit money in the bank. It's not surprising to think about it, after all, money is in your own pocket, that's called money, and when it is sent to the back of a high counter, who can guarantee that the money is still their own? Although this situation is unexpected, it is also reasonable, Liu Ze does not dare to hope that it can change people's inherent thinking overnight, and new things must have their own adaptation process.

Lukaz's caravan appeared in Luoyang City again, and this time he swept away the blue and white porcelain in Liu Ze's warehouse. The monopoly business of blue and white porcelain brought him a huge fortune, and his hand became bigger and bigger every time, and his fat round face was full of fat smiles.

Liu Ze is not without sadness, as expected, this will be the last time he will deal with Lukaz, next year today, the world has already fallen into a bloody storm, even the Quyang kiln factory will be destroyed in the war. The Silk Road, which has survived intermittently for hundreds of years, will be cut off, and it may be opened again until the Tang Dynasty 500 years later.

Lukaz naturally didn't know about this, and Liu Ze couldn't break it, looking at the joy on his face, Liu Ze couldn't bear to disturb his happiness.

"Mr. Lukaz, now the price of Shu brocade in the Luoyang market is good, haven't you considered eating some Shu brocade?"

The rebellion of Yizhou Banyu was finally put down, and a large number of Shu Jintong Guò Xiajiang shipping arrived in Luoyang through Jingzhou, and the price of Shu Jin in the Luoyang market naturally plummeted. Now Lukaz is already wealthy, and he is not as embarrassed as he was five years ago when he had to scrape together for 100,000 taels of gold in Shu brocade, in addition to eating all the blue and white porcelain that Liu Ze had in hand, he still had a lot of cash in his hand.

However, in recent years, the price of Shu brocade has risen and fallen, although Lukaz has the heart to engage in Shu brocade, but he is palpitating, thinking about the smooth sailing of porcelain in recent years, and he does not want to go to the troubled waters of Shu brocade again.

Hearing Liu Ze ask about Shu Jin, he was a little puzzled, shook his head and said: "The price of Shu Jin is too outrageous, it goes up and down, and if you don't do it, you will lose it, anyway, this time I have purchased enough porcelain, and Shu Jin will not do it for the time being." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Mr. Lukaz was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and it stands to reason that Mr. Lukaz has also been engaged in the silk business for many years, and it is impossible not to see that the price of Shu brocade is at a low point. ”

Liu Ze has turned his hands into clouds and rain in the Luoyang silk market in recent years, and Lukaz is naturally convinced of his words, and said happily at the moment: "Take advantage of Liu's shopkeeper's auspicious words, and we will buy ten cars of Shu brocade." ”

"With Mr. Lukaz's strength, it is only ten cars of Shu brocade, if it were me, all the money on hand would be exchanged for Shu brocade, and Shu brocade would not be in a hurry to sell when it arrived in Rome, wait for two or three years before making a move, and ensure that you earn double."

Lukaz was very puzzled, and said: "Businessmen are all based on capital turnover first, even if they sell at a low price, they can't mortgage the goods, Liu's shopkeeper's words are very unconventional, I don't know what they mean?" ”

Liu Ze smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Lukaz, let's be friends, right?" ”

"Of course."

"Do you think I'm going to hurt you?"

Rukaz didn't understand what he meant, his eyes widened, and he said: "As far as the character and reputation of Shopkeeper Liu are concerned, I can't find a second one, and I can't think of a reason why Shopkeeper Liu wants to harm me." ”

Liu Ze said with a smile: "Mr. Lukaz, if you are a friend and believe me, do as I say, we have cooperated for many years, and it can be regarded as the last great gift I will give you." ”

Lukaz exclaimed, "The last one? Oh my God, could it be that Shopkeeper Liu wants to cancel our contract and don't want to hand over the porcelain business to us? ”

Liu Ze smiled bitterly: "Time, luck, the trend of the world, how can you and I be able to control it, Mr. Lukaz, don't pass by, I hope you and I can meet again." ”

Lukaz was stunned, watching Liu Ze leave slowly, inexplicably surprised.

With a stomach full of doubts, Lukaz used all the money to buy a large amount of Shu brocade, and then left the Central Plains with porcelain and Shu brocade. Although Liu Ze did not say it explicitly, with years of trust, Lukaz still carried out Liu Ze's construction to the letter, and after returning to Rome, he threw all the Shu brocade into the warehouse, and one iron lock and one lock were three years.

As Liu Ze expected, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the Celestial Empire, and the Silk Road was cut off. The batch of Shu brocade purchased at a low price brought Lukaz ten times the profit, as Liu Ze said, this is indeed a final gift.

Rukaz never understood how Liu Ze could be an unpredictable prophet, but Liu Ze was like a god, from an unknown little person to the king of the business empire, which is not just accidental. Rukaz had always fantasized about coming to the East again, fantasizing about meeting this Oriental business genius again, but unfortunately until his death, the Silk Road was never connected again. On his deathbed, he instructed his sons to bury him on the top of the highest mountain in the Green Mountains, because from there the Celestial Empire could be seen.
