"Just go to First Bank and see if you can find out. If you don't get the money, just come back."
Huang Zhiwen thought for a while and said, although he was still a little worried in his heart, but considering that this was Liu Jin's property, there was not much to worry about. Who is Liu Jin? How could he be short of tens of thousands of taels of silver?
Soon, Huang Zhiwen hurried to the Tianjin Branch of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty with his carriage and convoy.
The Tianjin Branch is directly renovated from a reinforced concrete building. It occupies a very large area and a large open space was built in front of it, which is specially used to park horse-drawn carriages that come to handle business.
At this time, the entrance of the Tianjin Branch of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty was very lively. The open space in front was full of carriages, and there were also teams of convoys waiting here.
Obviously, like the Tianjin Shipyard, other industries under Liu Jin also implemented the same policy on this day, so everyone hurriedly came here to exchange money.
"Old Huang~"
"Old Li~"
"Old Liu~"
Huang Zhiwen got off the carriage and soon met acquaintances. It turned out that they were all suppliers of Liu Jin's industry.
"Old Huang, Tianjin Shipyard also gave me banknotes?"
"Isn't that right? The same goes for your Tianjin cement factory?"
"It's not nonsense. I used to give you free money, but now I give you a pile of paper. I don't feel at ease, so I came here right away. I don't know if I can get some money in exchange."
"It should be possible. Mr. Liu's property is owned by the emperor, so nothing will happen to him."
"I think so too, but if I don't get the money, I still feel uneasy. Although this banknote is very beautiful, it is just a piece of paper after all."
Several businessmen were discussing with each other and walking into the First Bank of Ming Dynasty.
Huang Zhiwen took his accountant to the Daming First Bank. As soon as he entered, there was a lobby with windows. At the same time, the lobby was filled with many leaflets.
"Hello, sir, what business are you here to handle?"
Huang Zhiwen exchanged shares in the lobby. The First Bank of the Ming Dynasty was completely different from the bank he had been to before. The bank always felt shady when doing business, with a sneaky and sneaky feeling.
But this place is different. The decoration is very luxurious, made of glass products, very bright, and the facade is opened for business, which gives people a very different feeling.
Next to me, a person wearing the uniform uniform of the staff of Daming First Bank came forward and asked enthusiastically.
"I am a supplier from Tianjin Shipyard and I am here to withdraw money."
Huang Zhiwen nodded and explained his purpose.
"Sir, you are a distinguished guest. Please come here. Please go to the second floor. There will be a dedicated manager to contact you."
The staff took Huang Zhiwen and others to a staircase and said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you~"
Huang Zhiwen smiled and expressed his gratitude, and brought his accounting office to the second floor. Unlike here on the first floor, there were very few people on the second floor. When someone came up, people wearing manager clothes came up to greet them immediately. Huang Zhiwen took Huang Zhiwen with him.
The others entered a private room.
"Hello, I am Zhang Jingchu, manager of the Tianjin Branch of Daming First Bank. I am happy to serve you!"
Zhang Jingchu smiled and motioned for Huang Zhiwen and others to sit down, and then a staff member brought them tea.
"Hello, Manager Zhang, I am Huang Zhiwen, a supplier from Tianjin Shipyard. I came here specifically to exchange money."
Huang Zhiwen looked at the room slightly. There were only the staff of First Bank and his own people. He immediately felt a lot safer and the privacy was very good. For this reason alone, he nodded.
When it comes to doing business, doing business openly and fairly is one thing. When it comes to money, everyone still hopes to keep a low profile, no matter how low-key it is. After all, safety is the first priority.
"No problem, please give me the banknote."
Zhang Jingchu smiled and nodded.
Huang Zhiwen nodded to his accountant Li Guihua, who immediately understood and handed Zhang Jingchu the banknote he had just received from Tianjin Shipyard.
Zhang Jingchu checked one of the banknotes very quickly, and there was no problem. This had just come out, and there would be no fake banknotes in a short time.
"The total is eighty-five thousand taels. Is the number correct?"
Zhang Jingchu asked with a smile after counting the banknotes three times.
"That's right, it's eighty-five thousand taels."
Huang Zhiwen nodded and said.
"Okay, please wait a moment~"
Zhang Jingchu nodded, and then gave instructions to a small window behind her.
Soon, from the small window behind him, tubes of wrapped and sealed silver dollars were handed out.
Zhang Jingchu arranged these silver coins neatly. There were one hundred silver coins in each tube, which was one hundred taels, and eighty-five thousand taels of silver, a total of eight hundred and fifty tubes.
"Mr. Huang, could you please click on it."
Soon, the silver coins were ready. Zhang Jingchu opened the seal of a tube, took out a silver dollar and said: "This is the silver dollar minted by our First Bank of Ming Dynasty. Each silver dollar is one tael of silver. You can check it out."
"
Huang Zhiwen took a silver dollar and looked at it carefully. This was the first time he saw this kind of silver. In the past, it was all silver coins, but now it has been changed into this shape.
But it doesn't matter, as long as it's silver, as long as it's of good quality and not too heavy.
Li Guihua next to him very skillfully began to test the fineness and weight of the silver dollar. He took the silver dollar and gently bit it. It was very soft and the quality was very good. Then he took out a small scale specially used to weigh silver.
Put a silver dollar on it, it is indeed one tael, exactly the same.
"Sir, the silver is of very good quality and the weight is exactly the same."
Li Guihua nodded to Huang Zhiwen and said.
"Tear them all apart and count them."
Hearing Li Guihua's words, Huang Zhiwen felt relieved. After thinking about it, he ordered, but he was still a little worried, so it would be better to take it all apart and take a look.
"Yes~"
Li Guihua nodded, waved his hand, and the accounting office he brought over began to get busy.
Huang Zhiwen waited patiently. At the same time, he also took a silver dollar and looked at it carefully. Like the banknote, it was very exquisite and shiny. It was very good, and people couldn't help but put it down.
"Mr. Huang, our First Bank of Ming Dynasty is the property of Mr. Liu. There will be absolutely no problem with the money coming out of here. Don't worry about that."
While waiting, Zhang Jingchu couldn't help but chat with Huang Zhiwen to see if he could get some deposit or loan business. Businessmen like these who can make tens of thousands of taels of silver at a time are all really rich people.
"I believe this~"
After seeing Yinzi, Huang Zhiwen's anxious heart relaxed. After thinking about it, he started talking to Zhang Jingchu, wanting to know more about the many businesses of the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty.
"Manager Zhang, your banknotes are very different from those of other banks. Aren't you afraid of someone forging them?"
There is nothing to say about the money. What he is more concerned about now is the banknote. He has also seen the banknote. There is no secret deposit or endorsement. Isn't he afraid of being forged?
"Haha, Mr. Huang, no one else can make our banknotes."
"Look, the paper of this banknote is not ordinary paper. Even if it encounters water, it will be fine for a while. In addition, the ink is not ordinary ink. It will not melt when exposed to water and will not fade.
"
"And here, if you look at a place with light, you can see a human head. This is today's head. You can't fake it."
"If you encounter a bank note without these in your business dealings, it is a fake bank note. You can report it to us and we will reward you."
Zhang Jingchu smiled and shared with Huang Zhiwen the banknote anti-counterfeiting knowledge of Daming First Bank.
"That's it~ no wonder."
Hearing Zhang Jingchu's words, Huang Zhiwen suddenly understood. As a businessman, he immediately understood the benefits of this kind of banknote. It is easy to carry and can be exchanged for a sufficient amount of silver at the bank. From now on, he will carry these banknotes with him when doing business.
That's great, you don't need to carry heavy money at all.
Moreover, when doing business, cashier's notes are more convenient, simpler, safer, and more reliable than cashiers. Money is also divided into colors, weights, etc. All you need to do is distinguish between true and false banknotes, and then calculate the number.
This will greatly facilitate business transactions and is much more convenient than banknotes issued by banks. Because the banknotes of the First Bank of Ming Dynasty do not have encryption or endorsement, it saves a lot of trouble. The bank only looks at the banknotes. As long as
If you have a banknote, we will give you the corresponding amount of money, which is simple and convenient.
"Only a master like Mr. Liu can come up with something like this."
Huang Zhiwen thought so.
Here, Li Guihua and his men also quickly completed the count and extracted hundreds of silver coins. They were all exactly the same, without any problems, and the quantity was exactly the same.
"Master, there is no problem~"
Li Guihua reported to Huang Zhiwenhui.
"That's good~"
Huang Zhiwen nodded.
"Mr. Huang, since there is no problem, I will accept this banknote. Please keep these silver dollars. Once they leave the bank, we will not be responsible."
Zhang Jingchu also reminded with a smile.
"Okay~"
Huang Zhiwen nodded, and his men had already begun to collect these shining white silver coins.
Looking at these silver coins, Huang Zhiwen thought for a moment and said: "Manager Zhang, these silver coins... how can we distinguish between genuine and fake silver coins?"
"It's very simple. Our silver dollar from the First Bank of Ming Dynasty has a very high silver content and is extremely exquisite in workmanship. There are no flaws or bubbles on both sides. This is the first point. Others cannot make it at all.
Come out with such silver coins."
"The second thing is that you can hold it and blow gently, then put it to your ear, and you can hear a crisp sound. If it is fake, it will definitely not work. The sound will be very muddy."
Zhang Jingchu introduced Huang Zhiwen with a smile.
