Chapter 343: Wuwei Bank
Tu Hu's eloquence is really good, and he makes the bosses talk one by one. On weekdays, these people think they are people on the table, but compared with these southern merchants in Tu Hu's mouth, it is really not worth mentioning.
Seeing that the fire had arrived, Tu Hu took out something from his arms and showed it in front of everyone: "Do you know what this is?"
When everyone looked closely, they couldn't help laughing. Everyone was familiar with this thing. It was just the silver notes issued by the money bank. Although the styles were different, they were still generally the same.
"This is the silver note issued by the Yangzhou Shengheji Money House, which is owned by the Yangzhou Dasan Merchants I mentioned earlier. However, the bills issued by others are not only open to the south, but also in Luoyang, Chang'an can also successfully raise money." Tu Hu looked at everyone and said slowly.
Everyone couldn't help but fall silent for a moment. Everyone was smart. Who doesn't know what the meaning of this sentence is?
"We have many banknotes in Wuyi, but how many can leave our state? Chengyuan can only be in Chengde, Anda can only be in Dingzhou, Tonghe can only be in Yuancanghai, and others, not to mention, even these three are far inferior. Now the three towns are integrated, and they are all under the rule of Jieshuai. Chengyuan and Anda can all have their own territory. I think they have made a lot of money, but who can agree with the bills you issued and the bills you have made after Wuwei?" Tu Hu said.
"What can you do if you are not strong enough?" a bank boss spread his hands.
"It's because of his lack of strength that people don't believe you!" Tu Hu smiled and nodded to the little boss who spoke with appreciation. Of course, he found a good support in advance. Once the situation was going to be a mess, this person would pick up the topic in time.
"To be honest, Tu took the first time to do business with cash in Luoyang. He had half a boat of silver. Do you know how worried I was along the way? If I was robbed, I, Tu, could only commit suicide and apologize. When I arrived in Luoyang, I took this breath and quickly stored the silver in Shenghe and exchanged the bills issued by Shenghe. Everyone, 10,000 taels of silver cost 10,000 taels. When I went to the place to trade, I had to exchange it for copper coins. There were also various water fees here, and after a break, the last ten thousand taels were left, only about 9,500 taels were left. How much profit is there? Tu, who is also a businessman, is really jealous!"
Everyone lowered their heads, and the sound of sucking sour plum soup in the room. Tu Hu's eyes flashed and he looked at another little boss. The little boss smiled bitterly and said, "General Tu, now our Jieshuai is the General Qianniu Guard, and he is a number of people in Chang'an. In addition, the General Qianniu Guard's Mansion is also in Chang'an. There are thousands of elite troops there. With such a powerful backstage, we can also start a business in Chang'an and Luoyang! We can earn this money ourselves."
Tu Hu smiled and said, "That's true, but I wonder if you all, even if you have the support of the General's Mansion, will they recognize the bills you issued? We can't let the Qianniu Guards use a knife to force them to admit their accounts? After all, we must first recognize our strength!"
"So General Tu asked us to come to Wuyi together to discuss this matter?" Several nurseries had to take the conversation again: "Are we going to unite to establish a big money house?"
"I wonder what everyone is thinking?" Tu Hu asked with a smile, saying that it was everyone, but his eyes were staring at the big bosses of Chengyuan, Anda, and Tonghe.
The boss of Chengyuan's surname is Tan Mingzhen, and he can no longer pretend to be deaf and mute at this moment. He said with powerlessness: "We all understand General Tu's meaning, but I just don't know how General Tu's joint law is like a supply and marketing cooperative?"
Supply and marketing cooperatives implement monopoly, and use administrative power and strong financial background to directly run many businesses and get bankruptcy. In the end, they have to agree with some of the supply and marketing cooperatives with overbearing terms and buying policies, so as not to end up losing everything.
With the lessons from the past, these three major tickets have been discussed privately. If the Duzhi Department wants to follow the previous move, they will unite to resist. With the energy of the three families' union, it is enough to cause great turmoil in Wuwei. There are powerful figures behind the three families, so they are not worried that Wuwei will suppress it strongly. Their backstage is also exerting their efforts!
I think the Jieshuai will be afraid of the rat and will not dare to smash all the bowls of everyone’s meals into chaos.
"So, did Cheng Yuan agree?" Tu Hu asked with a smile.
"You have to listen to the conditions first before you can decide!" Tan Zhen said dejectedly, "General Tu, even if we unite, how can a newly established money house compete with a time-honored brand like Shenghe? If you still revolve under the rule of Wuwei, why bother with this one?"
"Shopkeeper Tan is too worried." Tu Hu shook his head and said, "After we jointly established a new money house, the first thing we have to do is the court's business. Now that Gao Pian is dead, the only thing the emperor can rely on is our court coach. So, if the court's business is not left to us, who else can we do it? Think about it, with the court's business as a note, at least we can open up the situation in Chang'an and Luoyang. Once we open up the situation in Luoyang and gain a foothold, everyone should know the meaning? Then our money house business can not only dominate the north, but also reach out to the south."
After hearing this, everyone understood that the establishment of a unified bank is probably irreversible. No matter whether the people here agree or not, they will also implement it. What they can do is probably only to win more rights for themselves.
"General Tu, how did you do this? You should give me a charter first!" Tan Zhen glanced at the other two big bosses, and nodded helplessly when he saw the other two, and asked immediately.
"I say, everyone may not be convinced. Please ask Jieshuai to come and tell you about this. You may not believe me, but you cannot believe Jieshuai?" Tu Hu stood up and smiled with satisfaction. He signaled his followers at the door to invite Li Ze and Xia He to come.
Everyone then realized, stood up one after another, turned around and looked at the gate.
A moment later, Li Ze held Xia He's little hand and appeared in front of everyone.
"It seems that everyone has a pleasant conversation!" Li Ze sat down, signaled everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "It is imperative to establish a unified money house. This is a strategy to calm down. If everyone is willing to participate, then our strength will of course be stronger. If we don't want to participate, we don't force it. In business, we will compete in the future."
The threat in this sentence is too strong, and the small money houses don't care, because they are more likely to lend money loans and the amount is not too large. But the three big money houses are different. They are more likely to do business between government and giant merchants. If Wuwei Jie Town puts them aside, life will naturally be difficult.
"Jingshou, everyone is willing to join." Tu Hu replied with a smile.
"In this way, our strength will be greater, and we can compete with Shenghe in Chang'an, Luoyang and even in the south!" Li Ze turned his head and asked Xia He with joy.
"That's exactly what it means." Tuhu continued.
Li Ze looked at everyone and said, "You don't have to worry about it. Xia He, why don't you tell me about it in detail!"
Xia He walked forward with a smile and said, "Everyone, Wuwei Money Bank will be established by joint and shares, and everyone's rights and interests will be fundamentally protected. Jiezhen is mainly based on supply and marketing cooperatives, accounting for 51% of the shares, and the remaining 49% will be occupied by everyone here. As for how to allocate them, everyone can discuss it themselves. If we do not participate, everyone who joins will naturally become shareholders of Wuwei Money Bank."
"The big shopkeeper of the money shop is naturally sent by the supply and marketing cooperative, but the execution shopkeeper below is decided by all shareholders' meetings. At the same time, all important decisions of the money shop will also be decided by the shareholders' meeting. Simply put, if more than half of the people oppose it at the shareholders' meeting, it cannot be implemented."
"Of course, there is still a veto power, but there is only one person who can veto the shareholder resolution of Wuwei Money House, that is our Jieshuai!" Xia He turned around and looked at Li Ze and smiled. "Jieshuai, please tell you a few words."
Li Ze stood up and looked at the people and said, "When united, the strength will gather, and when divided, the strength will disperse. Only by uniting can there be greater power. Now each bank is in charge of its own and demarcating its territory. In fact, it has played a sluggish role in the economic development of Wuwei, so it is imperative to integrate the money houses within the jurisdiction of Wuwei."
Speaking of this, looking at the awe-inspiring faces of everyone in the house, Li Ze relaxed his tone: "It's good now. In the future, one government will be released and one family will be released, and many problems will be solved. Money houses can also be regarded as a weapon for the country, but in your hands, it has become a tool that can only earn some handling fees, storage fees, and money-making money. It would be a pity. When Wuwei Money House was officially established and everyone became a family, Director Xia He will come to tell you what a real money house should do!"
After saying this, Li Ze actually took Xia He's hand and left.
