"Hehehe,,,it's okay, it's okay, wait a moment, sir, I'll prepare gold and silver for you."
While waiting, a wealthy man named Qian Youren also came to withdraw money.
He did not drive a carriage, but waved a fan in his hand and came in relaxed.
Qian Youren went to the shopkeeper and said to him: "Shopkeeper, please withdraw two hundred guan from me, all in banknotes. For the 150 guan, take the one with a face value of 1,000 yuan, and for the remaining 50 guan, take the face value of 100 yuan."
It’s the same as five hundred dollars.”
As he spoke, Qian Youren handed over his deposit certificate from Sihai Bank to the shopkeeper.
With a smile on his face, the shopkeeper took the voucher, looked at it, and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Cashier, please wait a moment, I will prepare the banknotes."
The shopkeeper turned around and went to get the banknotes. Wang Jinbao looked puzzled and said to Qian Youren: "Exceptor Qian, you take so many banknotes, aren't you worried that it's not safe?"

"It's not safe. How can it be unsafe? Wang Yuanwai, I can tell you, don't believe this paper money. It is safer than copper coins."
"How do you say this?"
"Think about it, every time we go to buy a shop or do big business, which time do we not carry it in a carriage? Even if it is gold and silver, it is still a big bag to carry on the body. When walking on the road, this is not
Does this mean there are no three hundred taels of silver here?
But how nice it is to have banknotes now. If you put them in your pocket, no one will know how much money you have on you."
"That's true, but in the final analysis, a banknote is just a piece of paper. If you say it's worth five or eight cents, that's okay, but if you say its face value is directly one hundred cents, one thousand cents, that's not true.
too big."
Qian Youren didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Hehehe, except for Mr. Wang, these banknotes are just to facilitate those of us who do business. How can ordinary people use them? Anyway, as long as the court recognizes its face value
, it can be used to pay taxes, not to mention the face value of one hundred guan, it just has a face value of 100 guan, so that’s okay.”
Wang Jinbao still hesitated, and asked again: "Aren't you worried about the banknotes being torn into pieces?"
"What's there to worry about? The court has issued a notice. If the banknotes are damaged or torn, as long as they can identify the authenticity, they will be exchanged for brand new banknotes according to their face value. There is no hindrance at all."
"What if water gets in? Won't it be crushed into pieces if water gets in?"
"No, no, I was fresh yesterday and tried it with a 100-yuan note. Even if I soak it in water for a few hours and take it out to dry, it is still clearly visible and extremely tough."
"But what if it is crushed into pieces and cannot be distinguished?"
"Hey, if you are so arrogant, then your copper coins melted in the fire? Wouldn't that be useless? Who can be blamed?"
Wang Jinbao was speechless and nodded: "That's right."
Qian Youren said again: "I took this banknote to see my father-in-law yesterday. What do you think he said?"
"How to say?"
"He said that the craftsmanship of this banknote is really amazing, and the calligraphy on it is the calligraphy of people who are truly virtuous and beautiful. This is a large-scale issuance. If there are only three or five of these banknotes in the world, then this banknote will definitely be a priceless treasure.
, a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy it.”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper took the two hundred banknotes over.
Qian Youren pointed at the banknotes, looked excited at Wang Jinbao, and said, "Look, do the words on it look like everyone's style? This means that if it is written on money, it is worthless. If it is written on a painting, it will be the only one in the world.
Zhang, which word do you mean is not worth a thousand gold?"
After saying that, Qian Youren also carefully put away the stack of banknotes.
Not to mention, if you put the two hundred notes into your sleeve, no one will be able to see it.
While we were talking, Shopkeeper Chen Yixian, a famous pawn shop owner in Lin'an, also arrived.
Chen Yixian said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, give me one hundred yuan, five hundred yuan, and one thousand yuan in banknotes."
Taking the deposit certificate from Chen Yixian's hand, the shopkeeper of the bank said quickly: "Okay, please wait a moment, Mr. Chen, I will go get it for you."
Qian Youren had a good relationship with Chen Yixian. When he saw him withdrawing so much money at once, he thought he had received another treasure, so he asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, what treasure have you received? Don't hide it. Take it out."
Open your eyes for me too."
Chen Yixian looked at him with a sly look on his face and said, "Baby? Except for Mr. Qian, you and I are good friends, so I won't hide it in front of you. This banknote itself is a treasure."
Although Qian Youren knew that the banknotes were good, because the banknotes were widely circulated throughout the country and had a large circulation, Qian Youren didn't take them too seriously. After all, the goods were expensive and expensive.
But when he heard what Chen Yixian said, he suddenly became interested. Could it be that this banknote had value that he had not seen?
Qian Youren asked hurriedly: "How do you say this?"
Chen Yixian then said: "This paper currency is just like copper coins. Every emperor and every year will make new copper coins. The same is true for copper coins, and the same is true for paper money.
This banknote is so well made and the pictures are so exquisite. If the government changes the year name, the banknotes produced in the future will be different from the current ones. Then this edition of banknotes will be out of print. At that time, its value will be
It keeps rising like an antique."
Qian Youren suddenly understood, nodded and said: "That's it."
Qian Youren felt it was reasonable, and Wang Jinbao on the side asked doubtfully: "What if it doesn't go up?"
"If it doesn't rise? If it doesn't rise, then it's still money. The face value is here, how can you lose? As long as the court recognizes the banknotes, it can be spent as usual whenever it is taken out. What does it matter? It can't be put away anyway. Look at those banknotes.
Books and ancient paintings will be fine if they are kept for hundreds or thousands of years. Why should you worry about keeping these banknotes at home?"
Qian Youren nodded frequently after hearing this, and Wang Jinbao also felt it made sense.
Then Chen Yixian pointed out a way for them to make a fortune.
Chen Yixian said: "Look at these banknotes. Each one has a number on it. If the number ends in 666, 888, 999, or something like that, or it has consecutive numbers, it will be easier to appreciate in value."
, after all, everyone likes good numbers for good luck."
Wang Jinbao was surprised, "Ah, in that case, wouldn't these banknotes one day have the same collection value as antique calligraphy and paintings?"
"Of course. Not to mention banknotes, even copper coins have always been valuable for collection. Take the money from the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and you can exchange it for several. If you can get one of a special year,
Copper coins have a small circulation, and one coin can be exchanged for hundreds or thousands.
Like the copper coins produced by Wang Mang in those few years, even a copper plate can be used as a piece of gold. Copper coins can do this, and paper money can naturally do the same. Do you think this is the truth? Moreover, our paper money is the first of its kind in the world. It has not been used before.
If not, it will definitely be valuable in the future.”
