Li Hongtang also knew that the bank was such a big deal, and Gao Shaoyi would definitely put someone he could trust. The candidates for the president and deputy president were decided, and the next step was to decide what the name of the bank would be.
Now there are many banks within the Daqian Dynasty. This period is an era when banks and banks coexist. If the Zhenlu Army wants to open its own bank, it still needs to be carefully thought about what to name it.
The imperial court had its own Daqian Bank and Hubu Bank.
Governors in various places also have their own banks.
If Gao Shaoyi wants to open a bank, his name must be loud.
Someone suggested calling Zhenlujun Bank, but Gao Shaoyi rejected it directly.
"Otherwise, like those foreigners, they all like to use their own surnames. Our bank is called Gao's Bank? Use the surname of the Marquis?"
Everyone chatted here for a long time, but in the end they still couldn't decide the name of the bank. Wang Laosi suddenly remembered the names of some foreign chambers of commerce.
"That's okay. Although the name is not loud enough, when mentioning Gao's Bank, people can think of Mr. Hou, which can be regarded as expanding Mr. Hou's influence."
Liu Shan also agreed with this.
"I don't have any objection, why not just use this name."
Li Hongtang has now integrated himself into the Suppression Army. He was considered a veteran of the court at first, but now he is the think tank of the Suppression Army.
“Isn’t this a bit too much of a cult of personality?”
At this time, Gao Shaoyi felt that it was a bit too flamboyant, but if he really called him this name, it would not do any harm to Gao Shaoyi, and it would also increase his social influence, and he would be able to gain more points of admiration.
"Just this name will do. I thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one. That's it. Where should we locate the head office?"
This is how Li Hongtang made his fortune. Most banks have their headquarters in Haicheng. After all, Haicheng is the most economically developed city in the entire north.
"Located in the capital."
To everyone's surprise, Gao Shaoyi chose to locate his head office in Beijing.
"Is it inconvenient to be in the capital? The biggest role of the capital is as a political center. If you want to operate well, it should be located in a commercial city like Haicheng."
Li Hongtang couldn't figure out what Gao Shaoyi was thinking for a while, but he also knew that none of the major banks had their head offices in the capital.
"Actually, the branch and the head office have the same function. Just set up a higher-level branch here in Haicheng. The reason why I set up the head office in Beijing is to reassure the superiors."
Gao Shaoyi pointed to the top of his head, and the people present understood that the court was becoming more and more wary of the Suppression Army. Starting from this victory on the Xiongnu grassland, the two sides may even go into confrontation, so Gao Shaoyi has Sometimes you have to give the other party some sweetness. Since it has been established that you will not part ways with the court for the time being, you cannot intensify this conflict.
What's more, Gao Shaoyi also has his own ideas. The business atmosphere here in Haicheng is indeed strong, but if it comes to people who borrow money, then I'm afraid there will be more business in the capital.
Gao Shaoyi used to be a dandy, so he naturally knows how the young masters of the big families in the capital live their lives. These people live by pawning their ancestral property. When the time comes, the interest rate here will be slightly lower. In addition, with their strong strength, those old banks will How can we be our opponent?
After deciding on these things, the people below started to do serious things. Of course, Li Hongtang and his son were mainly doing this.
"Master Hou, what if the bank in Dongdi country gives us a loan?"
Li Kun walked outside and came back again. He is now in a semi-hostile state with Dongdi Country, but they have just signed a treaty. It is estimated that Dongdi Country's banks will not be able to sit still after hearing the news.
"We welcome all comers. We have a variety of goods in our business. As long as they are willing to give us loans, we can pledge the distribution rights of these goods to them as collateral."
Dongdi Kingdom must not be let go. It has caused a lot of damage to the Daqian Dynasty in recent years. If you rush to send money, we will accept it immediately. What's more, compared with some Western countries, Gao Shaoyi If you and Dongdi State break up earlier, you may not even be able to receive the principal and interest from previous years.
"There's another thing you need to do when you come back. The interest here in Dongdi Country can be slightly higher, but the quantity must be large. If it's about a thousand or ten thousand, just let them go."
Gao Shaoyi felt that if Dongdi was trying to trick someone, he would be more ruthless.
Since you want to make a fortune from us, then we will give you some help and let you make it to grandma's house all at once.
Li Kun agreed and walked out with a frown on his face. What did the Marquis mean by this?
Isn't this brother planning not to pay back the money?
When thinking about this problem, Li Kunyi suddenly felt that his hands and feet were getting cold. He turned back and looked at the room where Gao Shaoyi was. If Gao Shaoyi really dared to do this, he would be the enemy of the whole world.
Although the Suppression Army is developing rapidly now, if we are to be enemies of the whole world, we are still somewhat lacking in strength.
What are you thinking in the head of the Marquis? Although we have won a few battles, but then again, the major empires are much stronger than us. If we really fall out with them all, then There is really no way to survive...
Li Kun swallowed a sip of saliva. Although he thought his idea was too scary, he still had to follow the order of the Marquis.
"Dad..."
When Li Kun went out, he saw that Li Hongtang's car had not gone far, and it seemed that it was waiting for him.
"Do you have any doubts in your mind?"
After Li Kun got in the car, Li Hongtang said with his eyes closed.
"Dad, my son has a very crazy idea. Do you think the Marquis just wants to borrow money and not pay it back?"
Li Kunyi really couldn't suppress the thought in his heart and couldn't tell others about it, but it was his father who was working here, and there were no secrets between father and son.
Li Hongtang did not answer in a hurry, but found a more comfortable position, put his head on the seat, and sighed helplessly. At the beginning, Li Hongtang didn't think clearly. He walked into the car from Gao Shaoyi, and Li Hongtang Just figured it out.
"Our Marquis is not an ordinary person. Either our Li family will follow the Marquis and be glorious for at least five generations in the future, or there will be no room for our family in the graveyard..."
Although Li Hongtang did not answer this question directly, this statement showed that what Li Kunyi said was true.
This is so fucking brave!!! This chapter has been completed!
