319: Protection fee
The name of this important town is Iron and Stone Town, which means as solid as a rock, and uses the town frontier, but today, it has completely changed its taste.
Inside the Overseer's Mansion in Ironstone.
A man in armor sat on the Taishi chair, holding a mobile phone produced in Flying Sky City in his hand, and kept looking at it.
"It's a wonderful thing. ”
Another big fat man in armor next to him wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said: "That's right, General Cao's thing is called a mobile phone, but it's a good thing, although we don't have a signal tower here, there is still no problem with short-distance communication of 100 meters." ”
General Cao nodded, and at this time his lieutenant handed over a document, and the fat general just saw three big words outside the document, Flying Sky City.
"Well, this Flying Sky City is now very rich in the White Fortune Empire, so we have to plan it carefully. General Cao carefully read the document, the whole process took more than half an hour, he read it very carefully, did not let go of a word, did not understand the things immediately asked, there was no general's shelf, so that the people around him were very convinced, but the fat general heard the cold hair stand on end.
He knew very well what this General Cao was, and it was obvious that this General Cao was eyeing Feitian City.
In the style of General Cao in the past, every time he attacked a foreign country, he would slaughter the city for three days on the day it was broken, and then the rest of the people would be captured as slaves and sold back to the empire.
Aslan, who is a Flying Duke, is not aware of the coming crisis, and he is busy with something even bigger at this time.
In the afternoon of this day, there were people announcing things in several obvious places in Feitian City.
"A good thing, a great thing. Today, our great Duke, has issued a new directive. ”
"Anyone who has financial difficulties can borrow money from the bank next to the city government with some documents such as his resident ID card in Feitian City. The person standing on the stage said loudly.
"Borrowing money? Isn't that a high interest rate? ”
"Yes, yes. Now the interest rate of black gold has risen to 45 percent. ”
The person on the stage shook his hand vigorously and said, "No." Anyone who borrows money from Feitian Bank should not have 40 percent, 30 percent, or 20 percent interest!"
"What? Twenty percent?"
"Is this true? ”
"That's 10 percent. However, this interest rate is still a bit high. ”
The people on the stage saw the reaction below, and a smile appeared on his face: "Wrong, wrong, wrong. You're all wrong. The interest rate of Flying City Bank is only 3 percent, to 6 percent. The main interest is calculated according to the amount you want to borrow. ”
"What? Up to six percent!"
"Impossible, impossible. Unless the duke is stupid, he won't offer such a low price. ”
And at this moment, a man waved a notebook and a money bag in his hand and shouted, "I took out a loan, who said that the duke was stupid." Believe it or not, I'm in a hurry with you. I just went to Feitian Bank to borrow ten silver coins, although the procedures are a bit more and require a lot of proof. But there's nothing wrong with this interest, I only have to pay four percent a month. ”
"What? It's really four percent, and those ten silver coins are only four copper coins a month. ”
"Wait, what do you mean by a loan? ”
"Borrowing money from the bank is called a loan. ”
"Really. I'm going to take a look, and I just like to raise some livestock, and I'm worried about not having money. ”
At this time, the people on the stage said again: "Everyone be quiet for a while. Let me tell you, Feitian Bank is not just about borrowing money. There is also the business of saving money, as long as you keep your money in the bank, you get at least three percent interest per month. That is to say, if you keep your useless ten silver coins in the bank, as the gentleman just did, then you can get three copper coins a month, although three copper coins are less, but this is free money. ”
"What, save money?"
"Is this true, you can really get money every month. ”
All of a sudden, the crowd broke out.
Flying Sky City was swept away by this news at once.
The Feitian Bank next to the city hall is overcrowded all of a sudden.
However, more people are eager to take out loans than to save money.
"What do you say? Flying City Bank's loan, only a maximum of six percent interest. ”
Almost at the same time, most of the chambers of commerce in Flying Sky City got the news, but the ordinary chambers of commerce did nothing.
But for those chambers of commerce that run the black gold business, this is simply a bolt from the blue.
"Are they crazy in Flying City, what if someone borrows money and runs away. A businessman sat down in a chair and whispered.
The men below whispered, "We've had someone go and see it." Borrowing money requires a lot of proof, only if you have applied for the resident ID card of Feitian City, you must also have a proper job in Feitian City, or a relative must be a guarantor in some legitimate work unit. And the amount of money borrowed is also regulated, the upper limit will be set according to the borrower's ability to repay, and you must also explain what you borrowed money for, if you find out that you borrowed money and did some other things, the bank has the right to recover the money. ”
The merchant frowned: "Then it is impossible for a person of our status to borrow money." ”
"It's not impossible, but it requires permission from the upper echelons of Flying Sky City, and I heard that it even needs to be seen by the Duke himself. ”
"Feitian Bank! This is going to kill those of us who do black gold. The merchant said grimly.
"If we let this Flying City Bank continue like this, wouldn't we be in trouble. The subordinate whispered.
The merchant thought for a moment, and he shook his head helplessly: "It's useless." If we compare money, behind the bank is Feitian City, and we can't compare. If we make trouble, we'll be asking for trouble again. ”
"Then we won't do black gold?"
"Not anymore. We can't give up a forest because of a tree. By the way, what about the new casino we're about to open, and what about the other casinos' revenues. The merchant said lightly.
On the other side, Waconna has begun to determine the identity of these black gold merchants, and at the same time monitor the operation of major casinos, and carry out several crackdowns on this, but each time it is thunder and rain, menacing to rush into the casino, smashing a few things at will, and being bought by the casino owner with a bag of gold coins.
Then Waconnor took the gold and divided it with his cronies, and then swaggered away.
It's just that every time the 'protection fee' is collected, Waconna will personally go to the Duke's Palace at night.
