Chapter 99: Li Dashanren
For a hard-pressed profession like a coachman who only earns four copper plates for half an hour and has to hand over half of it to the car dealership, it is impossible to see the whole gold coin in his life. Li Shark's seemingly small gold coin smashed over, didn't it smash him into confusion?
In fact, the snobbery cannot be blamed for this, after all, no one will think of a beggar as a rich man. If you want to blame the boss of the car dealership for not making it clear last night, he only said that he would treat the two beggars politely when he saw them walking together, how could he have thought that Su Ze changed his outfit this morning and changed from a beggar to a cool brother in one fell swoop?
In a sense, the coachman can allow Li Xia, a beggar, to sit in his car, which is already the greatest tolerance for "beggars".
Su Ze knew that the coachman was difficult, and when he was rejected and made difficult by others last night, he felt the same as this coachman. So he took a silver coin out of his purse and handed it to the coachman, and asked as kindly as he could, "Can you find this?"
"Thank you, thank you!" The coachman was so frightened that he didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of Su Ze and the others, if the owner of the car dealership knew that he had offended someone who couldn't offend, then he would have to smash this bowl of rice!" "Two masters, today is the villain's miscare, you must not blame ......"
"Don't blame?" Li Shark first glared at Su Ze complainingly, and then shouted at the coachman: "You don't do what a coachman should do, why can't I blame!"
"Alright. Seeing that the coachman was so frightened that he was about to kneel in front of Li Shark and lick his shoes, Su Ze also frowned and clasped Li Shark's thin shoulder, and whispered in an unquestionable tone: "You should also hate those guys who bully people, right?
Li Sha was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, "You kid still understand philosophy?" After repeating Su Ze's words a few times in his heart, he also realized his arrogance, nodded and said, "Okay, I owe you a favor this time." ”
A small turmoil passed, but Su Ze hung a second money bag around his waist because of the ninety-six copper coins that the coachman had changed, and he couldn't help frowning and said, "It's so heavy, isn't there a more convenient way?"
"Yes, there are, but the two of us add up to more than 40 gold coins, which is not up to the standard of opening an account in a bank. Li Sha looked at the two bulging money bags around Su Ze's waist with amusement, and said, "Every city-state has a bank, there is the Zex Imperial Bank, and there are also private banks run by the local tycoons themselves. Wealthy people can deposit their money, and the bank will return the same denomination of gold and silver bills to them. This is much more convenient, a money bag can hold tens of thousands of gold coins casually, and it is not heavy!"
"Gold and silver money ......" The first time he heard such a word, Su Ze couldn't even make up for it.
Seeing this, Li Shark explained carefully: "Gold and silver banknotes are not gold and silver coins, but a kind of silk paper, on which the ink that cannot be washed off with water is printed with words such as ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand, and the badge of each bank. In this way, even if it is a big deal at the level of 100,000 gold coins, you only need to take out 10,000 gold bills to solve it, how convenient it is. ”
"But ......" Thinking that the piles of real money and silver had turned into a few pieces of paper, even if it wasn't his own money, Su Ze's heart was empty, "They really dare to give so much money to others, what if the person who opened the bank runs away, what if someone forges a lot of gold and silver banknotes, then won't the original gold and silver coins become waste paper?"
"Hey, I can't see that you are quite business-minded!" Li Shark said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, opening a bank requires a lot of capital. The most luxurious building in a city-state is often not the main building, let alone a restaurant or restaurant, but a bank building, and it is not the Imperial Bank building, but the building of a private bank. ”
"From a credibility standpoint, the Imperial Bank is definitely the most reliable. So, if a private bank wants to compete with the Imperial Bank, it must make the financiers feel that it is more reliable than the Imperium. There are many ways, giving benefits and advertising, which are relatively common, but the most direct way is to make your bank building the brightest star in the place!"
Seeing that Su Ze didn't seem to understand too much, Li Shark interpreted deeply: "This approach is probably saying: Look, just by building this building, I spent money that even the empire was reluctant to spend." So you can save money with confidence, even for the sake of this building, I will never run away. ”
"Oh. Su Ze understood.
"As for the problem of counterfeit banknotes, that's not even more of a problem. Li Shark pulled Su Ze across the road like taking care of a child, and said: "There is a kind of low-level demonic beast called the Golden Silver Butterfly, and its larvae are called the Golden Silver Silkworm. The silk paper used in gold and silver banknotes is made of gold and silver silkworms spit out of gold and silver silkworms, which is not only wear-resistant, durable, tear-resistant, kneading-resistant, wash-resistant, and burn-resistant. ”
"And those gold and silver butterflies, as early as the beginning of the development of the Imperial Bank, were almost monopolized by the royal family. Until now, there was no gold and silver silkworm to be found except in a strange basement in the King's Castle. Even the private banks can only buy gold and silver wire from the king, who would be so idle and spend a lot of money to buy gold and silver wire and come back to make counterfeit money?"
Li Shark speaks at length every time he speaks, and his logic is meticulous and his vision is broad, as if he has great wisdom to perceive the world.
If Su Ze only regarded Li Shark as a down-and-out son before, then now, Su Ze has to be suspicious: can just a down-and-out son know the secrets of these top rich people?
"Brother Li, who the hell are you ......?"
"Na Na Na, it's time to arrive!" Just when Su Ze was about to ask what was going on, Li Shark pointed to the black crowd in front of him and said, "See, it's all our competitors!"
"Ahh Su Ze looked at the blocked ring, and his brows tightened unconsciously, "Are you sure we can register before the sun goes down?"
"Hey, hey, it's okay, it's okay, I've been in Panda City for so long, how can I not have any connections!" Li Shark tugged Su Ze's sleeve, pulled him to the corner of the square, leaned next to an old man with a radiant spirit, rubbed his hands and said, "Li Dashan, there are too many people over there, can we sign up with you?"
Su Ze and Li Shark are both half-grown children, at most adults are shoulder-high, the old man looked down, and naturally locked on to the dirty Li Shark at first sight, and frowned, and said angrily: "Panda City is prosperous, stable and rich, where did this beggar come from......? Hey, you're a little ......."
"I'm a little beggar!" Li Shark said with a smile: "The villain heard early on that Steward Li of the City Lord's Mansion was generous and benevolent, and he also used his own money and food to help the displaced people outside the city, and he deserved the title of 'Li Dashan Man'! There were too many people over there, and seeing that there was no hope of signing up, we had to come and beg you." ”
"You also know that most of those people are dirt dogs and wooden chickens, but he is different, he is amazing!" As he spoke, Li Sha pulled Su Ze forward and whispered: "He is the person in charge of this martial arts competition, don't be stunned, hurry up and beg him." ”
