Chapter 285 - Banknote Issuance (6)
When Leon returned, his steps were erratic.
When he returned to the Chamber of Commerce, he didn't take 'Tia' out of the storage bag for the first time, but looked at the storage bag in his hand in a daze, stunned.
In this sad wind collar, walking down the street, even if anyone knows that you have a large amount of property in your hand, no one will dare to do it.
The police here are good at doing practical things, and they will not delay what they can do in half a day, unlike the city guards in other cities, they only protect the city from infringement, but they will not manage law and order issues, which is also a point where Wende City is better than other big cities.
Wende City's well-defined style of distribution has affected many people, such as the 'Iris Chamber of Commerce' where Leon belongs, Leon has changed from a busy person who needs to deal with various things to a 'financial manager' who is currently in charge of the current 'Iris Chamber of Commerce' leading the caravan money in the sad wind.
As a businessman, Leon understands very well that a merchant, a caravan, or even a chamber of commerce, when doing business, the problem of profit and loss is inevitable, such as 'opening up trade routes', profit and loss are at their own risk, and the chamber of commerce that opens up trade routes generally has losses.
To open up a trade route, a chamber of commerce needs to do its best, maybe not to lose all your money, to the point that the chamber of commerce is dissolved, and the merchant commits suicide, but the loss must be very large.
If the development of trade routes fails, then the chamber of commerce that develops trade routes will definitely be 'greatly damaged', and it will not even be able to recover for a few years.
However, it is also necessary to open up trade routes, such as the trade routes that have been opened up because of some mining towns, when the minerals have been excavated, this trade route has no meaning, and must be abandoned, and new trade routes must be opened up to fill the vacancy of the chamber of commerce.
Trade routes must be developed, otherwise they will not be able to fill the vacancies of the Chamber of Commerce, and without the income of a trade route, then the strength of the Chamber of Commerce will be weakened, and it is likely to lead to the dissolution of the Chamber of Commerce.
Therefore, when the chamber of commerce does business on other trade routes, it will also allocate some forces to open up new trade routes, so that when an old trade route is abandoned, a new trade route can replace it, and the development of trade routes can also enable the chamber of commerce to develop.
This is just the 'Chamber of Commerce', most of the caravans are gathered by ordinary merchants, not to mention it, but if it is an ordinary businessman, you need to look ahead and backward to do business, and you need to buy local information from the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise if the business fails, then the merchant can only choose the road of 'suicide' in addition to raising money to pay off debts.
That's why the sad wind leader was so popular at the beginning, just because the maid stood on the bulletin board next to the city gate, as long as you are prepared, the merchant comes to the sad wind to do business, basically you can be regarded as making a steady profit, even if you don't make it, you can guarantee that you won't lose too much.
If this can keep businessmen in circulation, then the Fortune Church's current 'this out' - the fact that you can rely on 'credit' to take out loans, can be said to be "the blessing of businessmen"!
This gives merchants a chance to 'make a comeback' after losing money, which can affect not only ordinary merchants, but also caravans and chambers of commerce.
Among them, the impact on ordinary businessmen is the greatest, which can allow businessmen to accumulate wealth again and obtain a 'new life' by virtue of 'loans' and steady progress after losses.
There is no need to pledge anything, it is enough to guarantee yourself in front of the Fortune Lady that you will be able to repay the loan and sign a contract.
Not only ordinary merchants, as long as they are not on the 'list of dishonest persons', then whether it is a caravan or a chamber of commerce, they can take out loans.
Leon had learned a lot from the pastor of the Church of Wealth, and he was just an ordinary believer in the goddess of wealth, and that priest didn't seem to have a high status, otherwise he wouldn't have done that kind of work.
However, even the lowest-ranking priests knew about it, and told him it easily, and Leon knew that it was probably because the Lady of Fortune had not forbidden them to disclose it.
The amount of money that merchants, chambers of commerce, and caravans can borrow is different, and the more abundant the funds, the more powerful the merchants, the higher the loan amount, because the Church of Fortune thinks they can afford to repay so many loans.
Now this business has not been opened, but Leon has already received the news from the priest's mouth, that is, the business of 'loans' has not yet opened, but it will not be too long before it is opened.
With the support of the Church of Fortune, I am afraid that Slo Mendes will usher in a wave of 'business rising'.
Even if you may encounter robbers or other accidents on the business route, if you are walking on a business route, then as a stable trade route, it is natural that someone will come to clean up the 'garbage' on the trade road.
Most ordinary merchants run back and forth in two or three places, and most of the caravans will train or hire guards, not to mention the Chamber of Commerce, as long as they are careful, do not die, and do not encounter accidents, then merchants can generally make more money.
With the Church of Fortune to support them, the Chamber of Commerce can boldly open up trade routes, caravans can buy more information about trade routes from the Chamber of Commerce, and merchants can receive the next business without resting too long after they have finished pouring their goods.
Liquid money is the 'economy', but the Fortune Church has not been able to do it until now that the Fortune Lady has been granted a 'covenant' priesthood......
Leon wondered what it was that made the lady decide to obtain the 'covenant' priesthood.
With the ingenuity of the lady, it is impossible not to think of this method to stimulate the development of commerce, and if you only need to obtain the 'contracted' priesthood, then everything is easy to say.
Leon thought for a while, gave up, and didn't choose to delve into it, after all, even ladies need to be afraid, what can a little person like him do if he knows?
After sorting out all the banknotes, he wanted to talk to the team leader and ask him to talk to the big men of the Chamber of Commerce about it.
The wave of a new era is coming, and this time it will be a carnival of their merchants, and those who are prepared always have an advantage over those who are unprepared.
Sure enough, in the team meeting, even if the entire Kolo Kingdom is in turmoil, the decision to come to the Sorrowful Wind Leader through a detour is correct at the expense of increasing the cost!
Although there is bound to be 'interest' on loans, those meager interest rates are nothing compared to opening up a new trade route.
But before that, he had to organize someone to count the banknotes as soon as possible, and then return the storage bag in his hand.
The time limit is only 'twenty-four hours', and the caravan is not his alone, he is only in charge of finance, and the inventory needs to be carried out by other people in the caravan, otherwise it is easy to 'greed for ink'.
No one can have the intention of 'keeping' this storage bag, Leon has seen it, and at the bottom of the storage bag, there is a 'holy emblem' of the Lady of Fortune - a gold coin inlaid with twelve precious stones of various colors!
This storage bag is already marked, and if someone steals it, even if they return it with another storage bag, it will probably be written into the 'list of dishonest people'.
The space inside the storage bag is not large, otherwise the Fortune Church would not have given him this storage bag so confidently.
Looking at the 'Tia' in the storage bag, thinking of the 'golden mirror' he had seen in the Temple of Fortune before, Leon had some other thoughts in his heart.
It may be a crazy idea, but – just speculation – what if that 'golden mirror' could not only allow clergy in the same temple to communicate with each other, but all clergy in the Church, at a low cost?
It's a crazy idea, and Leon himself thinks so.
There are also magic and objects in the world that can be communicated over long distances, but they are either cumbersome or expensive to use, but the 'golden mirror' he saw before is very easy to use, and it doesn't seem to be expensive to use.
If his guess is true, then the world is really going to change......
