Chapter 64: The Guild Strikes
On the morning of the next day, the branch of the head office of Yuanqi Bank opened as usual, and the guys who ran the street were energetic and went around to publicize and solicit business.
The news spread quickly, as the so-called hearing is false, seeing is believing, many people drank half of the morning tea and rushed to the nearby Yuanqi total number or semicolon to watch, see that it is indeed open for business, enter the store and turn around, the shopkeeper is smiling, greeting attentively, there are people in front of the counter who are depositing money and people are withdrawing, everything is normal.
Yesterday, the opening of Yuanqi Bank, twists and turns, and finally was seized, triggering thousands of people to go to the yamen to complain about it, it can be said that it was earth-shattering, and they all thought that Yuanqi would go out of business, and they didn't want to be able to operate as usual today.
You don't have to guess to know that Yuanqi Bank has won the support of the government, and the words that Yi Zhifen, the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi Bank, said when he persuaded everyone to leave in Nanhai County yesterday, quickly spread, and everyone understood that Yuanqi was supported by the Governor's Palace.
By the way, the matter of Yuanqi Bank's rescue of the injured has also spread, and the young and unspeakable Yuanqi shopkeeper Yi Zhixin has also become the object of heated discussion, and Yi Zhicontent, who was still a prodigal son in Xiguan more than a month ago, quickly became a typical example of the prodigal son in the mouth of the people of Guangzhou.
After yesterday's twists and turns, people seem to have become cautious, the people who came to Yuanqi Bank to deposit are obviously not as many as yesterday, and there are many people who come to withdraw money, whose silver is not blown by the wind, especially the ordinary people are not easy to save a few silver, but dare not be careful.
This situation made all the ticket number money banks in Guangzhou secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but no one dared to relax, and all the shopkeepers were mobilizing cash everywhere to prevent another sudden run.
Yi Zhixiang didn't dare to be careless, sat in the head office, and sent a large number of people to monitor the reaction in the market, but Wu Changqing was not worried at all, and accompanied Yi Zhishu to have a casual chat in the backyard.
"Young Master." The little servant Li Wang hurriedly came in and reported: "Little confused, forgot to remind the young master, today is the day when the young master invited the shopkeepers of various watch workshops in Guangzhou to visit Tianbao Watch Factory. ”
After he reminded him, Yi Zhizhi remembered this, he had been busy for the past few days, and he really forgot about it to the back of his head, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, it was already a quarter past ten, he stood up and smiled: "Look at me, I'm busy, you hurry up and go to the big restaurant near the watch factory to charter it, book a table at the standard of four taels of silver, and invite all the people who come to eat at noon ......." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Wu Changqing and said, "I'm still tired Changqing to deal with them first, and I'll rush over at noon." ”
Wu Changqing knew that he was not worried about Yuan Qi's side, so he got up and said: "Be polite and content, I am also a shareholder of Tianbao, and this matter is unshirkable." Saying that, he said with some regret: "Originally, I wanted to wait to see what kind of scene the Governor and the Governor came to support Yuan Qi...... ”
Yi Zhizhi smiled contentedly, and said: "Don't expect this, our Yuanqi is an outlier of the ticket number money bank, they will only turn a blind eye, and it is absolutely impossible to come forward to support Yuanqi ...... with great fanfare." ”
Before he finished speaking, Song Zijie, the third shopkeeper of the general number, rushed over with a panicked face and said, "Big shopkeeper, the people from the Bank Association are here......." ”
The Association of Banks can't wait to go shirtless so soon? Yi Zhishu said calmly: "Please let them in." ”
"They're not going to see the big shopkeeper, they're going to buy stickers." Song Zijie said: "They want to buy 20 million taels of tickets, and the shopkeeper Kong told them that the ticket limit is 400,000, but they don't give up, they have to buy it." ”
Twenty million taels! Yi Zhi's heart sank, the Association of Banks is so generous! He said in a deep voice: "Go, I will meet them." He walked out of the room quickly.
On the left side of the lobby, Tang Jingyuan, vice president of the bank mansion, drank tea for a long time, and the steward Zhang Shixin pointed at Kong Jian'an in front of him with an arrogant expression, and said: "The world can't escape a rational word, since Yuanqi Bank has opened the door to do business, there is no reason to turn away guests, we don't have this rule in Guangzhou, and all the ticket numbers in the world don't have this rule!" You just launched the Yuanqi sticker ...... yesterday. ”
As he spoke, he raised the flyer of Yuanqi Bank in his hand, and said loudly: "Yuanqi stickers, save ninety-eight, take one hundred, for a period of one month, this is the leaflet distributed by your Yuanqi opened yesterday, what's the matter, let's buy Yuanqi stickers today, you dare to go back on your word?" Not for sale?
Since you dare to open a restaurant, you are not afraid of a big-bellied man, since Yuanqi dares to launch a sticker ticket, there is no reason not to sell it to us, and our silver is not stolen from robbery, why doesn't Yuanqi sell it to us? Could it be that Yuanqi is just a gimmick? Could it be that Yuanqi deliberately deceived and coaxed?
To sell or not to sell? If you don't sell it, you will close the door early, don't ruin the reputation of our Guangzhou ticket number money village, don't spoil a pot of soup with mouse feces, everyone will comment on it, isn't this the truth? ”
There was an immediate "boom" in the lobby, and it was clear to anyone with a discerning eye that the bank mansion was deliberately trying to make Yuanqi Bank unable to get off the stage, and which bill number money bank in Guangzhou dared to accept a high-interest deposit of 20 million taels at once? This month's interest is as high as 400,000 taels! But what people say is not unreasonable, everyone is waiting to see this good show!
Listening to the buzzing discussion in the lobby, Kong Jian'an was anxious, he really didn't expect the Bank Association to react so quickly, and couldn't help but secretly feel annoyed, why didn't he publicly announce the matter of limiting the quota of 400,000 tickets early in the morning, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive.
If you don't accept it, Yuanqi will lose its reputation, and it will even become a joke of Guangzhou ticket number Qian Zhuangye! Accept it, the interest of 400,000 yuan a month, Yuan Qi really can't afford it! Come twice, Yuan Qi will go bankrupt!
Just when Kong Jian'an was anxious and didn't know what to do, Yi Zhizu walked in slowly, shook the folding fan, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper Kong, this is yours, Yuanqi Bank opened the door to do business, how can there be a reason to turn away customers?" Go, give them a ticket! ”
Hearing this, Kong Jian'an couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced at Song Zijie, for fear that Yi Zhizhi would not know the amount that the other party wanted to buy, and was about to be reminded, but Yi Zhi, who listened to it, said unhurriedly: "Business Yuan Qi has taken it, where is your silver?" It can't be an empty white jab to buy a ticket, right? ”
