Top 970 merchants
Shen Wanqing laughed at what Lin Yuan said, so the two of them walked around the market for a while, Lin Yuan raised his hand to look at his watch, and said: "It's past two o'clock, there should be more people in the teahouse, let's go back now, I will take the opportunity to find out what ordinary people think of our RMB." ”
Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing returned to the teahouse, and there were really a lot more people in the teahouse at this time, and people entered it one after another, Shen Wanqing said: "This is really strange, it has only been so long, and there have been more people." ”
Lin Yuan pointed to a sign standing at the door of the teahouse with his hand and said, "Didn't you read what was written on it?" At a quarter past 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Tiezui commented on the book - Lin Yuan's trip to Europe, and the admission price was 15 wen! I dare to charge fifteen yuan for listening to a commentary, this review must be very popular, so I conclude that there must be a lot of people at this time. ”
The two of them paid the money to go in, and the storytelling had not yet begun, Lin Yuan looked around the room, and saw that the other tables were full of people, and only one person sat at a four-person table, so Lin Yuan said to Shen Wanqing: "Let's go and sit at that table, and don't ask directly after we sit down for a while, let's say this and see what his reaction is." ”
Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing explained their plans, and the two of them sat down at the table, Shen Wanqing first said: "Husband, now the Northeast People's Bank is exchanging money, saying that it is to exchange copper plates and silver for paper money, I think it is very convenient, but no one has changed it, and I don't know if it will be changed or not?" Husband, give me an idea. ”
Lin Yuan smiled nonchalantly and said, "Fools learn from their neighbors during the New Year, and others will change you with you, don't talk, listen to books." ”
Shen Wanqing frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "How can I marry a man like you, I don't have an idea about anything." ”
Lin Yuan smirked for a while, and then the man on the side spoke: "In my opinion, it must not be changed!" ”
Lin Yuan looked at the man and laughed secretly in his heart, it turned out that this was the strategy that Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing discussed, Lin Yuan pretended to be an incompetent husband, and Shen Wanqing pretended to be a disgruntled beauty, which instantly stimulated the expressive desire of the man on the side!
Shen Wanqing asked with a smile: "Big brother, can you tell me why you don't change it?" ”
Shen Wanqing called the man "big brother" and raised his head, and said with a smile: "Do you say that this banknote is good for silver and copper?" ”
Shen Wanqing didn't expect the man to ask, so she looked at Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan thought, "I'd better talk about it." So Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course it's beneficial......"
Without waiting for Lin Yuan to finish speaking, the man waved his hand again and again with a disdainful face, and said, "Don't say it, benefits?" Will there be benefits? These big officials and wealthy businessmen have the most crooked intestines in their stomachs, and we can bypass them, so no one knows if there is any benefit in this! ”
Shen Wanqing hurriedly asked, "Since I don't know if there are any benefits in the road, how can I be sure whether I will change it or not?" ”
The man said, "To change or not to change?" I can tell you a trick! Then he waved his hand and said, "Come with your ears." ”
Shen Wanqing leaned her head closer to the man, and the man said while sucking the aroma on Shen Wanqing's body: "Let me tell you, decide to change or not, you just look at these big traders in Shanghai, Tianshengyuan's restaurant, Deyixing's silk, Juxianhe's tea, and the Anhui merchants who supply them, have they all changed their banknotes?" ”
"Didn't change it, what did they use? It's not the silver of the Qing Dynasty, the eagle ocean of Mexico, and the rod ocean of England! Can we ordinary people be smarter than those big dealers? They don't change it, which means that there is a trap in this! When these big traders have changed their money, we can change it! ”
Lin Yuan nodded silently when he heard this, and thought to himself: "It turns out that these ordinary people are also watching other people's actions, especially those big stores, as long as the big stores are willing to exchange, they will definitely exchange them!" ”
At this moment, I saw a middle-aged man walk up to the front desk of the teahouse, and everyone let out a cheer, it was Wang Tiezui who came to the stage, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Let's listen." At this time, I heard Wang Tiezui say: "The last book said: 'Lin Yuan fought three hundred rounds with the Queen of England...... Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go." ”
Out of the teahouse, Shen Wanqing asked, "Now are we going to go to the big dealers?" ”
Lin Yuan said: "That's right, as long as they agree to exchange our currency, we will be more than half successful." ”
Shen Wanqing asked: "Then what kind of method do you want to use to talk to them, I think if you use the identity of the governor of the three northeastern provinces to talk to them, I am afraid that they will be afraid of you and will not tell the truth." ”
Lin Yuan said: "Yes, I can't say it as a high-ranking official, I have already thought about it, let Zhang's Industrial Company hold a businessman symposium, let these businessmen talk freely together, I pretended to be serving tea and water, and listened on the side." ”
As soon as Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing returned to their residence, they saw a middle-aged fat man with a cigarette in his mouth, it was Zhang Hua, Lin Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, why are you here?" ”
Zhang Hua said with a smile: "I know that this currency exchange work is very important, so I specially rushed over from Beijing. ”
Lin Yuan said with a smile: "That's great, it just so happens that I still have to ask you for help, tomorrow you will invite all the heads of the big Shanghai merchants, and you can talk to them about currency exchange." ”
Zhang Hua smiled: "Don't worry, I am now a business giant in the country, I will personally look for them, they will not not come." ”
Zhang Hua said well, the invitation card was sent out today, and the next day, the famous businessmen in Shanghai came, there were both merchants who transported goods back and forth, and there were also people who bought and sold in Shanghai, Lin Yuan pretended to be pouring tea, standing aside, only to see Zhang Hua holding a cup of tea, and said leisurely: "Recently, there has been a big incident in our industry, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”
A businessman said: "Is it the issue of paper money by the People's Bank of Northeast China?" That's the biggest thing. ”
Zhang Hua took a sip of tea lightly and said, "That's right, that's it, I don't know what the attitude of everyone here is?" ”
All the businessmen didn't speak, Zhang Hua smiled: "Since everyone doesn't speak, then I'll say first, it's a brick throw, I have decided to use the banknotes issued by the Northeast Bank, I don't know if everyone is willing to use it?" ”
A businessman gave a thumbs up and said: "I am the owner of Tianshengyuan, named Liu Sheng, Brother Zhang, your business is a big deal, we dare not compare, we know that there are no foreigners in your goods, so they can only buy yours, you are equivalent to exchanging paper for foreign people's real money, but we are different, we don't have too many people to do business with foreigners, we are doing it with our own people, and we are all exchanging silver for paper, and we can't exchange it for silver, we all feel unreliable about this matter." ”
Zhang Hua said with a smile: "Brother Liu Sheng, what you said is not right, as far as I know, your store is using the banknotes issued by HSBC, how can it not be exchanged for the Northeast People's Bank?" ”
Liu Sheng said: "If the People's Bank of Northeast China collapses one day, won't the money in our hands be as good as paper?" ”
Zhang Hua smiled: "Then you're not afraid that the British HSBC will fall?" ”
