Chapter 059: Silver Trumpet is off to a good start
With Hu Zeyi's personal permission that night, Cui Geng's delivery procedures with Cao Tianjiao were very smooth on the issue of the county government's public property welcome building.
On the third day, the Cao family couldn't wait to tear down the signboard of the welcome building, and replaced it with five golden signboards of "Jufenglong Yinhao", which were particularly eye-catching and eye-catching.
The welcome building has been abandoned for many years and is slightly old, but it does not affect the normal use.
The Cao family, who was in a hurry and ready to catch up with this momentum while the iron was hot, didn't say a word, and specially asked someone to clean up the front and back yards of the welcome building, upstairs and downstairs, and then simply decorated it, and officially opened the door of Jufenglong Yinhao.
Under a firecracker, Jufenglong Silver opened its door.
It's very hasty and a little simple, but it definitely doesn't affect its popularity in Qingyuan County.
The deposit of the county officials' silver tax is naturally a publicity stunt to gather popularity.
But the annual interest rate announced by Jufenglong to depositors on the opening day is the real reason for the sharp rise in the popularity of the silver number.
The monthly interest rate of Tianshun Bank to depositors is two cents, but the monthly interest of Jufenglong Silver to depositors reaches two and a half, which is enough to overwhelm Tianshun Bank. What is the concept of a two-and-a-half annual interest rate? It's like Tang Fuguo, the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, who went to Tianshun Money Village to save 100 yuan, and he could earn 2 yuan and 500 yuan with interest in just one year.
As we all know, the purchasing power of money on the market is still very hard, and it can basically realize the purchasing power of 100 yuan of doumi, and it is still the best Luoyang rice. With a profit of 500 yuan, you can buy 25 buckets of high-quality Luoyang rice alone, which can provide a family of three with half a year's rations.
For ordinary people, depositing the money they save on weekdays into the bank is not only safe and not afraid of water invasion and fire, but also earns a lot of interest. Therefore, Tianshun Qianzhuang is very popular among the businessmen and people in Qingyuan County.
But now Jufenglong Silver not only has the county government deposit tax as a disguised security guarantee, but also raised the annual interest rate to half and a half, which is naturally more popular with depositors in Qingyuan County.
Only by raising the annual interest rate, Jufenglong Bank won a small victory over Tianshun Money, which has been operating in Qingyuan County for several generations, and got off to a good start.
The trial operation of the silver number for several days in a row has received a good response. In less than three days, as many as 200 depositors came to Juhong Long Silver to deposit money, most of them were small stall vendors and small households with a little bit of money.
……
This day marks the fourth day of the opening of the Juhong Long Silver Brand.
The entrance of Chongwenfang is still noisy, and the flow of people is resting.
Compared with the previous few days, there are fewer pedestrians outside the silver number who stop to watch the bustle, and more depositors who come to the silver number to handle storage.
On the second floor of the Silver Horn, the Silver's account room is located in a room facing the street.
The account details of the account manager of the silver number, this kind of thing is naturally the responsibility of Cao Yuechan, the real head of the Cao family.
At this time, Cao Yuechan was standing side by side with a young man in front of the long window, looking down at the people outside the silver horn on the street.
The young man was none other than Cui Geng, the governor of Qingyuan County.
Neither of them spoke, just stopped and looked out without saying a word, silently.
After a while, Cui Geng broke the silence and took the lead in speaking: "Miss Yuechan, it seems that we have a good start. I have also read the account books of Jufenglong Silver in the past few days, according to this situation, our Silver Number is standing in Qingyuan County! ”
Although Cao Yuechan didn't move or respond, her long eyelashes still flickered slightly.
Seeing this, Cui Geng smiled dumbly and said, "Still angry about the distribution of Yinhao's equity that day?" ”
"Hehe, how dare the little girl?"
Cao Yuechan was finally willing to speak, but she sneered and said coldly: "Now that you are the county lieutenant of Jufenglong, you account for seventy percent, and our Cao family only accounts for thirty percent, how dare you be angry with you?" It's funny, look at my dad-"
As she spoke, Cao Yuechan lowered her eyes downstairs, and Cao Tianjiao, who was busy and busy, smiled slightly self-deprecatingly: "It's the first time I've seen him do something so seriously, it's really rare!" ”
Cui Geng naturally also saw Cao Tianjiao, who greeted people on the street downstairs, and echoed with a smile: "Isn't that good?" Didn't you always think that Ling Zun was unenterprising and discouraged? Now that Cao Dongjia has this enthusiasm for the silver number, he should be encouraged, right? ”
Cao Yuechan glanced at Cui Geng with disdain, and sneered: "County Lieutenant Cui is not panicked at all when he talks about the cool words, even if he is enthusiastic about going in now?" To put it nicely, the Cao family is obviously the owner of the Jufenglong Silver Account, but in the final analysis, it is not for your Cui family? ”
"Uh... Hey... It's serious, Miss Yuechan is serious! ”
Cui Geng smiled awkwardly, and couldn't help but remember that a few days ago, the evening before the charity dinner was held, he personally came to Cao's mansion to discuss the cooperation between Cui Cao's two families.
I thought that the negotiation with Cao Yuechan would be very difficult and tricky, but I didn't expect that Cao Tianjiao and Cao Jie, the son of the Cao family, were also present that day, and the negotiation turned out to be surprisingly smooth.
Just when Cao Yuechan insisted on five or five points, Cui Geng insisted on seven or three points, and the two were deadlocked, Cao Tianjiao actually decided the matter with the strong attitude of the head of the family for the first time and agreed to Cui Geng's equity distribution plan. As a condition, he asked the Cao family to be responsible for the external publicity and appearance of Jufenglong Yinhao, and he, Cao Tianjiao, also participated in the specific matters of running the bank.
Regarding Cao Tianjiao's request, Cui Geng naturally readily agreed. He is worried about the lack of manpower in the silver number, and it is naturally the best for the Cao family to be able to bear it. As for the reason for Cao Tianjiao's request, in fact, Cui Geng can also guess one or two, it is nothing more than that the old man grass wants to use the matter of the silver number to help the Cao family earn back some prestige, and he doesn't want to carry the reputation of "ruining the family" forever.
In the final analysis, it is still people who want the bark of the tree and the face.
Although Cao Yuechan also knows in her heart that Cui Geng, whether it is Cui's Distillery or Qingyuan County Lieutenant, is now a sesame flowering festival, but the Cao family is declining and going downhill every day, so this cooperation has long been destined for the two families not to be on an equal platform. But she still doesn't want to be so cheap Cui Geng, and she can ask for more than one percent, so naturally she won't accept it so easily.
But no matter how strong she is in the Cao family, in the final analysis, she is still Cao Tianjiao's daughter; Even if Cao Tianjiao no longer has prestige in the Cao family, in the final analysis, he is still the head of the family, the head of the Cao family. Can Cao Yuechan be stubborn and stubborn, and Cao Tianjiao will be forced to die?
On the same day, Cao Tianjiao tried to force Cao Yuechan to accept it, but she was in tears, so she sent her daughter not to agree, and went directly to the courtyard to jump into the well and count the ball.
In desperation, Cao Yuechan had to hold back the evil breath in her heart, gritted her teeth and accepted it.
Since then, the preparations for the Jufenglong Silver have been negotiated, and the Cui Cao family has been completely tied to the same chariot.
This is why at the charity dinner, Cao Tianjiao killed the powerful pretense of the Quartet.
……
At this time, Cui Geng looked at Cao Tianjiao, who was busy at the bottom, and couldn't help but feel that this somewhat unscrupulous old man was actually quite cute. Thinking about Cao Tianjiao's performance in the Cao family that day by forcing his daughter to obey with death, thinking about the Cao family's day by day, and then thinking about the unlimited money in the future, Cui Geng suddenly looked at Cao Tianjiao in his heart-
Hehe, they all say that my cheap father-in-law is greedy for Qinglou and loses his mind with playthings, but in fact, who knows, he is actually quite wise and has a vicious vision? Don't look at him on weekdays, but when it comes to the critical time, he sees more deeply and farther than Cao Yuechan, who has a high talent in business.
"Ahem, Miss Yuechan, don't be angry about the events of the day!"
Cui Geng turned around and walked back to the room, found a stool at the table and sat down, leaned his hand on the edge of the table, and said softly: "The Cao family looks like it is a loss now, but I believe that in the near future, you will definitely be glad for your decision that day!" ”
"The little woman is short-sighted, she only sees the present, but she can't see the future!"
Obviously, Cao Yuechan is still stubborn, and she can't talk sourly.
At this moment, suddenly a sound of rushing upstairs sounded outside, suddenly, the door was pushed open from outside, and Cao Jie, the second-generation son of the Cao family, ran into the room sweating profusely, and said excitedly: "Sister, brother-in-law, it's terrible, it's terrible, haha, it's rich, it's rich!" ”
Cui Geng was about to open his mouth to ask, but saw Cao Yuechan turn her head and stare at Cao Jie with a look of shame and anger, and scolded coquettishly: "Who is your brother-in-law?" Believe it or not, all the money for this month will be deducted for you? ”
The monthly money is the pocket money that Cao Jie's family gives him every month. This money is what he relied on to gather fox friends and dog friends to find flowers and ask willows, and if he really wants to deduct it, it will be more uncomfortable than calling him dead.
Immediately, he was so frightened that he shouted no, and then changed his words: "County Lieutenant Cui, sister, the two heads of the counter just said that the depositors who came to our silver account to deposit money today are almost two hundred people smaller. Oh my God, today is almost catching up with the previous three days, according to this momentum, won't Tianshun Qianzhuang be able to lie down in a few days? ”
Cao Yuechan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows lightly when she heard this, and there was a bit of unbearable excitement in her eyes.
There were 200 people a few days ago, and today there are 200 more, so it's only been a few days since it opened? Almost robbed thirty percent of the depositors of Tianshun Money. Rao is she tried her best to secretly warn herself that she must be calm in front of Cui Geng, and it is difficult to treat it calmly.
Cui Geng shook his head and said with a smile: "You think too much!" Tianshun Qianzhuang has been operating in Qingyuan County for decades, where is it said that it can be easily done if you lie down? A few days ago, and today, it is not easy to take advantage of the momentum of the county government's tax deposit and the increase in the annual interest rate to snatch 30% of the depositors from them. It is estimated that the depositors who will have a file in the next day will only be scattered every day, and there will not be a large number of depositors like these days. ”
Cao Jie didn't know what to do when he heard it, but Cao Yuechan understood it, frowned slightly and asked: "Are you saying that the remaining seventy percent of the depositors are all die-hard depositors of Tianshun Qianzhuang, and they can't use the annual interest rate of two or five to attract them to come to us to gather Fenglong?" ”
Do we gather Hong Leong?
Cui Geng noticed that Cao Yuechan involuntarily used the word "us", the corners of her mouth couldn't help lifting, and she said secretly, it seems that this girl is also hard-mouthed and good-looking, and she is high-spirited and refuses to admit defeat.
"That's right, that's right." Cui Geng nodded.
After Cao Yuechan heard this, she shook her head lightly and said: "This is not good, thirty percent of the depositors are not enough for us to become big in Qingyuan County, let alone connect the world?" ”
However, Cao Jieman was very happy, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully: "What's so difficult about this? If the annual interest rate of two and a half is not good, it will continue to increase. Who in this world would have trouble with silver? ”
"Make a decision!"
Cui Geng directly denied Cao Jie's bad idea, and said: "First, let's not say that fighting a price war is the idea of hurting the enemy by one thousand and losing eight hundred, and secondly, if we really dare to recklessly increase the annual interest rate in order to absorb reserves, then when the time comes, there will be no need for the Wu family to fight with us, and the imperial court will destroy us Jufenglong." Hehe, I'm afraid that this kind of thing doesn't need to be done by the imperial court, and Feng Tingshi of the Quanzhou Mansion will take action as soon as possible! ”
"Why, brother-in-law? Uh, no, Lieutenant Cui! ”
Cao Jie looked dazed and asked, "This money is our own, how to spend it, what does it matter to them?" ”
"Do you know the "Tang Law Discussion"?" Cui Geng asked.
Cao Jie spread his hands very sincerely, "I don't know! ”
"Weekdays just know how to eat, drink and be merry, and if you read more books, you will die?"
Cui Geng rolled his eyes and explained: "This "Tang Law Discussion" was revised on the basis of "Zhenguan Law" in the second year of Gaozong Yonghui, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji, etc. One of the Tang laws is stipulated for the pawnshop of the whole world, and it was proposed by Emperor Taizong himself, and it was added by a generation of virtuous ministers Fang Xuanling, that is, "all the examples of quality shall not exceed five points, and the interest shall be more than doubled. You get it this time, right? ”
Cao Jie still nodded very sincerely and said, "I didn't understand!" ”
Cui Geng: "......"
