Three hundred and ninetieth chapters one hundred thousand liang insurance line
A plan that is still on paper to talk about the military stage is just to preach and explain to everyone, so that everyone can accept that nothing formal has been carried out.
Wang Tong was preparing to let the merchants who came to listen to today go back to digest his plan. After promoting the plan for small and medium-sized merchants, they even needed to make suggestions to see if there were any better methods, or loopholes and shortcomings. In that lifetime, Wang Tong only understood similar industries.
But unexpectedly, someone came out and shouted:
"I'm willing to pay a hundred thousand taels!"
What does 100,000 taels mean? It is equivalent to the annual financial income of a local middle-aged mansion. No more than ten businesses who do business in Tianjin Pacific can afford this amount of money. This may include Wang Tong’s own Sanjiang Trading Company, as well as the Gu family and the Zhang family’s goods warehouses.
Since the shouting was not so high among the crowd, it can be seen that the businessman's assets rank very average in Tianjin. Since it is very average, how can he dare to shout out 100,000 taels?
Everyone looked over, and Wang Tong looked over on the wooden table, but saw a middle-aged businessman standing there with a smile on his face.
What was Wang Tong's status in Tianjin Wei in the past? He was even more powerful after killing thieves on the beach. The Tianjin Wei was trembling in front of him and did not dare to speak out.
Could it be that the person who called out was crazy and dared to come to entertain Wang Tong on this occasion? Wang Tong was not angry, but his face was full of strangeness, thinking why this person shouted like this.
Looking at the merchant, who was also ordinary, with a silk cloth long gown with a long silk man, and was next to this entourage. His entourage looked dark and stood quietly on one side. "Old Shen, 100,000 taels, your Luhai Trading Company sold all the goods, is it worth 100,000 taels! Some people were already sarcastic, and with the good friendship, he hurriedly said: "Old Shen, what happened? Are you broken in your head? You dare to shout here, don't you be afraid that Lord Wang will cut you alive!"
No matter where the people around were scolding or persuading, the old Shen was there clasping his fists and greeting him, and he didn't talk to him. There was already a little mess in front of him.
Wang Tong frowned. Zhang Chunde, who was sitting in the front, saw Wang Tong's confusion and hurriedly came to him and said, "Mr. Wang, this Shen Hong is the shopkeeper of the Tianjin branch of Luhai Commercial Bank. Their main store is said to be in Jinan Prefecture. If you want to take out 100,000 taels of silver at a time, it is really unbelievable."
Wang Tong's face was a little dark. Although there was a very good atmosphere in the lecture, it was a bit of a joke by the 100,000 taels. If Shen Dang really came to make trouble, he would know how to write the word "regret". "What are you talking about here? Of course, I can't afford 100,000 taels for this shop in Tianjin, but if the Jinan General Office takes action, it would be so difficult."
Perhaps he was entangled by everyone, and the shopkeeper Shen Dangshen also called out at the top of his voice and the people around him became quiet again. Hearing what he said so confidently, someone whispered: "One hundred thousand taels, let your boss know that you have to peel your skin. Can you say something in front of Wang Qianhu? It's crazy!"
Wang Tong looked down at him, as if a guy was following Shen Hong, and he kept whispering something, Shen Hong seemed to be passing messages or something.
"Everyone, how much money do you want to pay? I want to gain a title in this store. I think what the store should be done and what not to do. Let's go back and think about it carefully. Don't rush to make a decision. When you figure it out and make up your mind, it's not too late to find my official. I have prepared a manpower here. I'm waiting for you to come. There is a saying that in the front, those who speak this matter are not guilty, so I'll be relieved. Everyone is busy with things, so I won't waste your time. Let's go!"
Wang Tong didn't want to continue letting Shen Hong continue. This incredible thing will always make people lose confidence and trust in this matter.
When everyone heard this, they saw Wang Tong jumping off the wooden table and knew that the matter had come to an end today. Someone asked at the top of his voice: "Mr. Wang, what is the name of this new store? " "I said so much before, just to protect everyone's business and money without any risks. We are in Tianjin again, so we call it Tianjin Insurance Bank!!
Everyone thought about this name and cheered in unison below, "Good insurance". Wang Tong was walking towards the inner hall. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head. This name has no good comments after several years.
The owners of each shopkeeper, the leading figures of Tianjin harness business circle came out of Wang Tong's mansion by the Haihe River. A large open space was given up around his sturdy body. Everyone kept away from this person, thinking that this person's head was broken today, and he actually called out this matter. No matter whether he did it or not, he would ruin his family and their Shandong general account. If someone else called a million jokes for everyone today, but if you joke with this Wang Tong, wouldn't you die in a battle? He really came to the door, would you have any solutions? But this shopkeeper Chen looked quite relaxed and wandered back leisurely with Chang Sui beside him.
Walking out of the street in front of Wang Tong's mansion, the crowd dispersed everywhere, and they went back to their respective shops. The crowd returned to normal. Shen Hong walked a few steps, but met the two soldiers patrolling the street in front.
The merchants on the Weihai River in Tianjin are not afraid of these soldiers. The two Jinyi Guards nodded with a smile and greeted each other. Changsui behind Shen Hong was extremely respectful and lowered his head and walked over. Both sides passed by. The Jinyi Guards patrolling the street walked forward a few steps. One of them suddenly stopped and turned around and said in wonder: "Xiao Wu, why do I feel familiar with the clerk who followed the shopkeeper just now?" "How many people we are going to see on the street this day, and we have walked back and forth. We must have seen them before, but we still don't look familiar."
Another person continued with a smile, and the man nodded with a smile, continued to move forward, took two steps, stopped and said:
"No, you still remember the monk we checked in the past. I thought it was fake, but I didn't expect it to be real, it's really similar to that guy." The other person was already a little impatient and said:
"I only remember the appearance of a fake monk. The real monk cares what he does. The real monk has returned to secular life and becomes a mate. We can't control it. Go quickly and leave quickly. It's too late to go back, and the food in the cafeteria is cold. The other person shook his head and didn't say anything. The two walked forward together. "Arranging someone to check the Luhai Business Company. Today, this person is so outstanding, so he must have some excitement.
Wang Tong returned to the inner hall, Sun Dahai handed a wet wipe, Wang Tong wiped his face and said, Sun Dahai quickly agreed, Yang Sichen took out a piece of paper and walked out, Wang Tong said as he walked: "This matter is beneficial to the merchants of Tianjin Wei, but my official's idea may also be deficient. This requires more communication with merchants." "How can the master be as talented as he is, how can he have deficiencies in the cabin?
Yang Sichen said convincedly. Wang Tong's Wu Jian might not understand, but Yang Sichen was really amazed at the economic management method. He didn't know how these ideas came about, but there are great benefits to doing them according to these ideas. Wang Tong shook his head and said:
"There is no shortage, that is what the gods think. There must be omissions. Mr. Yang, you sort out what the current Japanese official said into a document. If you don't understand, ask if you have anything to do, form a document and find a printing shop to print it out. Then you take the document to visit the top 50 merchants and visit them from door to door. These people are doing old business and think more than us and more detailed than us. They record everything they say in detail and come back to me to learn more about it."
The insurance bank must do everything perfectly. If it is done well, it can win people's hearts. If it is borrowed and made money, it is very likely that it will lose money and reduce capital, and in the end it will offend people's hearts.
If this is done well, it means that even the merchants' worries will be completely eliminated. It will definitely make Tianjin's harbor more prosperous, attract more merchants from the north and south, and attract more money and property.
It was also the pirate raid that made Wang Tong understand this truth. The prosperity by the sea is still very fragile. Even if he trains his troops to make various arrangements, the risks of the merchants have not been reduced. If the ship capsizes at sea and encounters Japanese pirates, the government has no private compensation. If this risk is not reduced as much as possible, the prosperity will have the possibility of decline.
If you do this insurance bank well, on the one hand, you can reduce the uncontrollable risks in business and trade, and on the other hand, you can concentrate everyone's financial resources to build Tianjin Health better. On the other hand, Wang Tong attaches great importance to it, that is, through this insurance bank, Tianjin Health merchants can have a sense of identity and collectivism, allowing them to help and take care of each other, which will benefit Tianjin Health from the long-term development.
When he walked into the inner hall, he saw Chi Hei and a guard who followed Ma Sanbiao out waiting there. When he saw Wang Tong, he hurriedly stepped forward to report that Ma Sanbiao had found a good horse in Lulong, Yongmu Mansion, and the animal merchant had a lot of cattle and horses. Tianjin Wei now needs a lot of animal power. Ma Sanbiao wanted to buy more, but the money was not enough, so he sent Chi Hei and others to come back to ask for money.
Wang Tong naturally had no objection to such a request. He immediately approved the note and arranged for Sun Dahai to send someone to withdraw it. At the same time, he sent five additional guards to accompany them to send money to Lu Long, Yongping Prefecture.
Everything came to an end and sat down. Wang Tong remembered the "100,000 taels" that Shen Hong said was for the purpose of "100,000 taels". This was really incredible, but one thing was undeniable. If the 100,000 taels were really invested, the Luhai Commercial Bank would definitely make a big profit.
But if the shopkeeper Shen was really a business genius, he should be the person in the front row today. Why did he stand in the middle? While thinking about it, Sun Dahai returned with a strange look on his face. After entering the house, he reported: "Mr. Wang, Dong Chuangxi, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, stationed in Shandong, Jinyiwei, and asked for a meeting.
