Chapter 595 Millions of Family Assets
Currency exchange is a new term in Datang, but this kind of business is not a new thing in Datang, it can be said that every wealthy businessman has used Datang's flying money more or less, but this kind of business is not similar to the function of a bank, and it has a certain official nature.
Not to mention that the gold and silver price of the Wa Kingdom is different from that of the Tang Dynasty, the maritime merchants not only have to carry a large number of goods every time they go to the Wa Kingdom, but also gold, silver and copper coins are also indispensable goods, although the quantity is not much, but the gold and silver brought back to the Tang Dynasty from the Wa Kingdom is a lot, in case of a storm at sea, the loss is often tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of properties, which is not something that a maritime merchant can afford.
Zhen Qian was willing to give these maritime merchants the exchange between the Tang Dynasty and the Japanese State, and all the maritime merchants needed was to pay a certain handling fee and leave the vouchers and passwords in the two places, so that they could withdraw the gold and silver stored in the two places, which these maritime merchants did not dare to think about before.
"Sir, if something happens to me at sea with my vouchers and other things, won't the money stored in the money bank be withdrawn?"
The maritime merchant surnamed Jia was first moved, he was in the porcelain business in the Wa Kingdom, and every time he returned to China, in addition to buying some furs from the Wa Kingdom, the rest of the money was exchanged for gold and silver, which was very unsafe to keep around, which is why the maritime merchants liked to go to the Wa Kingdom together to do business.
However, with Zhen Qian's exchange in the two places, it is much safer, after all, this kind of large-amount deposit and exchange procedures are complicated, and it is extremely difficult to claim fraudulently, and you can even designate a special person to withdraw it.
"Don't worry about this, if you are really worried about such a thing happening, you can inform a credible person of this matter in advance, and leave this person's certificate, after the accident, this person can withdraw the gold and silver deposited in the bank after a year?"
The maritime merchant surnamed Jia nodded, doing so would indeed ensure that unnecessary losses would be avoided.
At this time, Gao Hai was also a little moved, he knew the strength of Zhen Qian's money, especially after Zhen Qian made the crystal chip in Nagasaki Port, Gao Hai had no doubt that Zhen Qian now had such ability.
However, Gao Hai is still a little uneasy, in fact, Tang Shang knows in his heart that the gold and silver of the Wa Kingdom are a net outflow, that is to say, Zhen Qian still needs to constantly transport the gold and silver stored in the Zhen family of the Wa State back to the Tang Dynasty, in order to achieve a balance of access between the two places, the question is whether Zhen Qian has such a sea transportation capacity?
"Sir, I want to ask, does the money bank on the Shengsi Islands have such the ability to pay? What if we can't withdraw the money when we return to Datang? ”
Zhen Qian nodded lightly: "No problem?" ”
Every time Tang merchants return to China, they carry as much as 100,000 pieces of gold and silver, which is not a small amount, if the business of exchange and exchange is carried out, this number may be as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Gao Hai didn't speak, but there was disbelief in his eyes!
"Bring them all up!"
Zhen Qian shouted outside the door, and more than a dozen strong men outside the door carried in wooden boxes one by one, opened the lid of the box, and revealed the dazzling golden light inside!
"It's ......!"
The maritime merchants in the house were immediately dumbfounded, if they hadn't seen the guards standing around, they would have the urge to rob.
In the wooden box, there are neatly stacked pieces of gold nuggets shining with golden light, each gold nugget is enough to weigh ten catties, a box has two or three hundred catties, a whole ten large wooden boxes, even a maritime merchant with poor arithmetic can guess that these wooden boxes are worth hundreds of thousands of pieces of gold.
"Lift it up again!"
As soon as Zhen Qian's words fell, more than a dozen strong men walked in carrying wooden boxes, and this time the wooden boxes were full of snow-white silver ingots, which were also worth more than 100,000 yuan.
"Please check it out!"
Someone took the hammer and put it in the hands of Gao Hai and the others, and they were not worried that these maritime merchants would suspect that these wooden boxes were indeed full of gold and silver nuggets.
These people naturally don't know why Zhen Qian has so much gold and silver, and Zhen Qian's arrival in the Wa Kingdom is not much real money except for some perfumes, soaps, and glass.
However, later Shao Er Dongshang bought weapons and ransom with 30,000 or 40,000 taels of gold, annihilated the Nine Ghost Jialong pirates entrenched in the Osumi Islands, and seized gold, silver, jewelry and antiques worth hundreds of thousands of kan, and then eliminated the bandits of Fengming Mountain in Saga Town, and there were more than 100,000 taels of Jinsha alone, and finally bought perfume, glass and other things in Songpu City, earning nearly 450,000 kan, although there were more than 100,000 kan of gold and silver used by Shao Er Dongshang as collateral, but Zhen Qian had nearly one million kan of gold and silver in his hand, which was more than enough to meet the exchange and exchange of maritime merchants.
Zhen Qian naturally would not be stupid to send millions of gold and silver to the Shengsi Islands, not to mention that it is not safe to be so safe, in case one of the maritime merchants colludes with the Tang Dynasty sailors to land on the island and rob in the name of exterminating pirates, this kind of thing is similar to killing good and risking merit, if it really happens, Zhen Qian can jump into the sea.
These maritime merchants could not take away the gold and silver they had stored in Zhen's bank, they had to use the gold and silver to buy crystal tablets in Zhen Qian's hands, buy perfume, soap, glass and other things, and in the end, instead of taking money from Zhen Qian's bank, they would send money to the bank.
Zhen Qian took out boxes of gold and silver, in fact, to let the maritime merchants see their strength, which is the same as the later generations like to cooperate with large companies, the other party's wealth is reassuring.
Gao Hai is also secretly frightened, there are many wealthy businessmen and tycoons worth millions in Datang, but there are not many people who let them take out 100,000 yuan in cash, these people's assets are mainly land, real estate and shops, etc., if Zhen Qian directly throws millions of gold and silver, he can already be regarded as the top rich in Datang.
"Sir, can you ask, why do you want to set up the money village on the Shengsi Islands, it is inconvenient to travel between the Shengsi Islands and the mainland, so you can set up the Zhen money village directly in Runzhou, or Yangzhou?"
Zhen Qian knew that these maritime chambers would have this question, the Shengsi Islands are the closest to the mainland, but there is a one-day sea route, although the Shengsi Islands belong to the Tang Dynasty, but in fact they belong to the land of three things, what if they are robbed on the road?
Of course, Zhen Qian did not want to set up Zhen's money on the Shengsi Islands, which was similar to some multinational leather bag companies in later generations setting up their registered places in a certain island country.
These maritime merchants still don't know what happened in Datang, and Zhen Qian doesn't want to say it now, these maritime merchants have their own news channels, and when they return to Datang to inquire a little, they will naturally understand why Zhen Qian set up Qian Zhuang on the Shengsi Islands.
"This is also a way to do it, a money village like this is set up in Datang, I don't know what the government's reaction will be, in case the government thinks it's inappropriate, I don't want to be ordered to close by the government before it opens!"
