There is smoke and war everywhere in Europe, but Hong Kong has not been affected at all and has even become more prosperous.
Here at the Hong Kong branch of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of nobles from all over Europe were waiting in a long queue to handle deposits and custody services.
When the war started, the first thing they thought of was to find a safe place to keep their wealth, and the First Bank of Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Marquis Augus, your wealth is absolutely safe in our First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. Our credibility is obvious to all. Behind our First Bank of the Ming Dynasty is the most powerful Ming Empire in the world."
"And now we have specially launched a new deposit business in response to this situation in Europe. As long as the deposit amount exceeds 100,000 taels of silver, and the deposit is for more than five years, the annual interest can reach 4.3%. In other words, if you deposit 100,000 taels,
Silver can earn an interest of 4,300 taels a year at our First Bank of Ming Dynasty."
"I think with such a sum of money, you can live a very comfortable life even in Hong Kong. It is safest to wait until the war is over and then return to your own territory."
With a smile on his face, the business manager Ye Xiangli introduced the deposit business of his bank to a big nobleman from France in front of him in detail.
With the beginning of the European War, nobles in many places were very worried about their property and personal safety, because the Spanish Empire was very powerful and had a strong impact on the long-standing aristocratic system in Europe, which had a great impact on the great nobles across Europe.
posed a huge threat.
Many nobles also made two-pronged preparations. On the one hand, they united to fight against the Spanish Empire, and on the other hand, they brought part of their property to Hong Kong and deposited it in the banks of the Ming Dynasty.
Banks of the Ming Dynasty have been opened all over the world. Many important cities in Europe have branches of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty. A large number of nobles and businessmen also like to deal with the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty.
People in Ming Dynasty pay great attention to credibility and honesty when doing business.
The money stored in the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty has not had any problems so far. No matter the people of the Ming Dynasty or the Europeans, in the eyes of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, they are their customers and their God. The First Bank of the Ming Dynasty will
Serve you wholeheartedly.
Relying on its reputation and excellent service, the golden sign of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty attracted a large number of nobles to come to handle various businesses at this time.
"4.3% interest?"
"It's a bit higher than usual."
After hearing this, Marquis Augus thought for a moment and nodded. Then he thought about it and said, "Well, I'll deposit 200,000 taels of silver with you."
"Thank you so much for your trust and support!"
When Ye Xiangli heard this, he immediately smiled.
For Daming First Bank, the deposit business has always been the most important and basic business. These business managers all have deposit indicators. They have absorbed 200,000 taels of silver deposits at once, and a large part of their tasks have been completed.
Already.
Augus nodded to the butler behind him, who immediately opened a box, which was filled with banknotes and white silver dollars...
The banknotes were from the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, and all of them were 100 taels of silver each. The silver coins were also issued by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty, and there was a full box.
"Check carefully!"
Ye Xiangli nodded to the staff around him, and four or five bank clerks immediately understood and began to check in detail.
Nowadays, the banknotes and silver coins issued by the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty are almost sold all over the world. Even in Europe, everyone is willing to accept the silver coins and banknotes from the Ming Dynasty because they are very reliable, convenient, good quality and workmanship.
And excellent.
The key is that it is also very helpful for business transactions. To do business with the people of the Ming Dynasty, you must use the silver coins and banknotes of the Ming Dynasty. For other currencies, the people of the Ming Dynasty do not recognize it.
"Mr. Augus, war is raging in Europe right now. I wonder if you have any plans to settle in Hong Kong."
"As our number one in the Ming Dynasty, you
Distinguished customers of the bank, we at Daming First Bank have channels to handle some related business for you."
Ye Xiangli looked at the people busy doing the counting, and he also smiled and chatted with Marquis Augus.
Making money, of course, cannot just be about making money. There are many ways to make money now, especially making money from these European nobles. It is very easy and simple.
"oh?"
"I wonder what the business is?"
When Marquis Augus heard this, he immediately became interested and asked quickly.
"We can help you buy real estate in Hong Kong. With real estate, you can live here for a long time."
"And after you own the property, we can also apply for immigrating to Hong Kong for you, obtain long-term residency in Hong Kong, and even become a citizen of our Ming Empire."
"Also, if you need something special here, we can also find a way to buy it for you."
"For example, arms and weapons are in very short supply right now. If you want to defend your territory or castle, you can buy some guns and ammunition."
Ye Xiangli said with a smile: "You are our distinguished guest. We will provide you with a full range of services. If you have any needs, just tell us and we will try our best to help you complete it."
"Purchase real estate and apply for long-term residency?"
"Even becoming a citizen of the Ming Empire?"
Hearing Ye Xiangli's words, Angus suddenly became excited.
If it were in the past, he would have stayed comfortably in his family's territory and lived his own aristocratic life.
But it's different now. Once the Spaniards come over, basically all the nobles like them will die, and even the whole family will die.
"Can I buy property for my son and daughter and apply for long-term residency?"
After thinking about it, Ye Xiangli also asked.
"Of course there is no problem."
"We have many aristocratic children from mainland Europe here in Hong Kong. They can enjoy absolute safety here, and they can also receive education from our Ming Dynasty and be cultivated into real elites."
Ye Xiangli agreed immediately.
Now Hong Kong's housing prices have begun to soar again, because mainland wealth has been transferred here from all over Europe, and there are also mainland aristocrats from Europe. Rich people have chosen to find ways to immigrate to Hong Kong and settle here...
All these have caused the housing prices in Hong Kong to start to soar. Originally, the price of a house was as high as three to four thousand taels of silver. Now it has directly exceeded seven to eight thousand taels, almost doubling. The housing prices have been directly comparable to those in the Beijing-Tianjin area of Ming Dynasty.
The house prices are comparable.
There is no way, the land here is so big, and even the bigger place is now home to a large number of wealthy people, nobles and wealth from Europe. In addition, people have been smuggling here for a long time, so the population here is at
The continuous skyrocketing has also led to the shortage of land in Hong Kong, high land prices, and rising housing prices.
"That's great."
When Marquis Augus heard this, he immediately said happily.
When he came this time, in addition to saving money, the most important thing was to settle his son and daughter. He did not dare to let them stay in his family's territory, because once the Spaniards came over, his territory, wealth, and even
His life may be lost.
He needs to plan a way out for his children, and bringing them here to Hong Kong is a very good choice.
It is very safe here, and absolutely no one will attack here in a hurry, because this is an overseas colony of the Ming Empire, and there is also a powerful Ming fleet and army stationed there.
In addition, Hong Kong is very prosperous, life is extremely convenient, and education is also very good. Here you can enjoy the aristocratic and elite education of the Ming Dynasty.
There is even hope to become a citizen of the Ming Empire in the future. Once you have this status, you can travel freely around the world and be protected by the Ming Empire. That is
Even the Spanish did not dare to do anything to the Ming people.
So many benefits have attracted a large number of nobles and merchants to move their wives and children here. Especially in this war-torn era, no one knows what the future will be like.
But at least, depositing a sum of money in the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty and placing the children here will definitely ensure that they have enough food and clothing, and can also receive good education, medical care, etc.
"Please also ask Mr. Ye to help with some related business and procedures, and I will give you a price that satisfies you."
Marquis Augus thought for a while and said solemnly.
"I am very happy to serve you. I think you will be satisfied."
Ye Xiangli agreed with a smile.
This kind of business can definitely make a lot of money for him.
For Hong Kong as a whole, attracting these European aristocrats and wealthy people to make deposits and settle down in Hong Kong will naturally bring many benefits.
On the one hand, it can promote prosperity and wealth here, drive economic development, and obtain more tax revenue; on the other hand, it can better publicize the power of the Ming Empire and at the same time instill the education of the Ming Empire into the descendants of these nobles and wealthy people.
And culture, thought, etc.
In ten or twenty years, when the descendants of these nobles and wealthy people have grown up here, their recognition of Ming culture and ideas must be very high, and the benefits they can bring are too many, too many.
.
Of course, right now, the huge wealth from Europe is constantly flowing here, and a large amount of deposits and wealth are placed in the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty.
Once this wealth reaches the bank, it belongs to the people of Ming Dynasty. It can be put to good use, no matter what you do.
There are simply too many benefits here.
