"Master, today we deposited a total of 730,3600 taels of silver. This is equivalent to a year's deposit." The shopkeeper held the account book and was shaking with excitement.
He is the old man of the Bai family and the only shopkeeper who does not belong to the Han family. Seeing the Bai family prospering, he feels happy from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, everyone has worked hard today. I'm going to treat you tonight, and you can choose the place of your choice. In addition, everyone will be rewarded with five taels of silver," Bai Yan said.
"Thank you very much, young master, for your kindness."
The guys all cheered for joy, and those who had complained before were instantly full of strength.
"Tomorrow, we will implement new rules. I'm afraid we will be even busier by then, so I ask for your hard work. However, I won't let everyone's hard work go in vain. As long as you complete the goal, you can get additional bounties." Bai
Yan said.
"Thank you, young master." Everyone shouted again.
Bai Yan waved his hand: "You go to the shopkeeper to get the money. After you get the money, go and eat."
After saying that, Bai Yan went upstairs. He had to draw up new rules.
Everything has just begun, no carelessness is allowed.
The guys happily went to shopkeeper Chen and received five taels of silver, equivalent to half a year's salary.
"When the young master grows up, the Bai family will not be weak anymore." The shopkeeper's excited eyes filled with tears.
After allocating the money, shopkeeper Chen took the guys to the best Zuixian Restaurant. For ordinary guys, this is a place beyond their reach. A meal costs several taels of silver.
As soon as they appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
Shopkeeper Wang of Zuixianlou even welcomed him personally.
"Shopkeeper Chen, why are you so interested in coming to our Zuixian Building today?"
"The young master is the host, inviting the guys to dinner, and also asking shopkeeper Wang to bring the best dishes." Shopkeeper Chen responded.
"Master Bai Yan is treating you to a treat? He is really good to his subordinates." Shopkeeper Wang was secretly surprised.
They treat their clerks just like servants. At most, they only give a small amount of money as a reward, and it is impossible to treat them.
"Yes, our eldest young master is the best young master in the world. Being able to become a clerk at Jinghao Bank is what I am most proud of."
"I have already thought about it. As long as the eldest young master does not fire me, I will work in the bank for the rest of my life. The eldest young master also said that he will give us pensions in the future."
Several guys said from the bottom of their hearts.
pension?
It was the first time for everyone to hear such a term, but they understood it immediately.
This is unprecedented.
Generally, only the emperor and nobles would give a reward to retired ministers.
All those who can receive rewards are trusted people.
"Did your eldest young master really say that?" Shopkeeper Wang was shocked.
"Yes, I won't have to worry about the rest of my life when I get older." Shopkeeper Chen responded affirmatively.
"Young Master Bai is so kind, even I am a little envious of you." Shopkeeper Wang said from the bottom of his heart.
He is also the shopkeeper, but he doesn't know when he will be fired.
"Bai Yan is acting recklessly. He has ruined the family business like this. I'm afraid the Bai family won't be able to survive for long and will go bankrupt." A big boss snorted coldly.
Many people nodded in agreement, and they all had the same view.
How much profit does the bank make? If it is so corrupt, it must be unable to make ends meet, and there must be times when it makes people cry.
Shopkeeper Chen said calmly: "Boss He, my young master said that this is an employee benefit. Moreover, my young master has plans for the future. I believe that the young master will make Jinghao Bank even stronger."
He was also worried in his heart, but he would never allow anyone to say such things about Bai Yan.
"With two levels of interest, can a bank have such a high profit? Shopkeeper Chen, you have been running a bank all your life, don't you even know this?" Boss He continued.
"It didn't happen before, doesn't mean it won't happen in the future." Shopkeeper Chen responded.
"It's ridiculous. There are no such high net profits in all walks of life. Bai Yan did this, and I didn't care. Either the two of them are crazy, or they have other plans. Shopkeeper Chen, you are so confident, I'm afraid it's all for nothing.
Is this Yan’s plan? After today, tomorrow’s interest will return to the original point, right?” Another person asked.
"Uncle Zhang, my young master does have a plan. However, the two-tier interest rate will not change for the time being. My young master said that the interest rate will not stop until all the funds raised for the project are in place. We will still have the same interest rate tomorrow.
The amount. Moreover, our bank will change the rules tomorrow." Shopkeeper Chen smiled mysteriously.
"Change the rules? What rules?"
Someone asked impatiently.
Shopkeeper Chen glanced at the man and said proudly: "Starting from tomorrow, our Jinghao Bank will face everyone and welcome everyone to come and deposit money. The minimum standard is one tael of silver. In other words, as long as there is one tael of silver,
Then you can deposit it in the bank."
"What?"
"Is it really just one tael of silver? Is there any interest?"
The crowd was excited.
Both the merchants and the servants were shocked by these words.
Especially ordinary people, many of them have some money in savings, but they can only keep it at home.
Not to mention the lack of interest, it is also easy to attract thieves.
If you change it to a banknote, you can carry it with you, which will be much more convenient.
It's just that the bank doesn't welcome them. If they go to deposit with a tael of silver, they're afraid they'll be kicked out.
"Of course there is interest. My young master said that starting tomorrow, the interest rate at my bank will be increased by two points. As long as you deposit one tael of silver, you can get interest. Moreover, the interest is calculated on a monthly basis, not on an annual basis as before.
." Shopkeeper Chen said.
"Is this true?"
Some of the waiters stared at Shopkeeper Chen and forgot about the waiter in their hands.
"We are all neighbors, why should I deceive you? If you don't believe it, you can go to the bank tomorrow and find out."
Shopkeeper Chen said no more and led the guys towards the private room upstairs.
They left the hall on the first floor, but the discussion in the hall on the first floor continued.
Several guys discussed it and decided to go to Jinghao Bank tomorrow to have a look.
The beggar outside the door heard something and started communicating with his friends.
At the same time, the Qin magistrate was in the Taoist mansion, reporting to Zhuge Ming, the master of Yanzhou Taoism.
"Prefect Qin, you mean thirty taels of silver notes?" Master Zhuge said with an expressionless face.
"Yes, Master, this matter is of great significance, otherwise I would not dare to visit you." Qin Zhifu responded.
He felt a little uneasy in his heart. He thought that after he finished speaking, Zhuge Ming would be very excited and praise him.
But Zhuge Ming didn't react at all and acted very calmly.
"It is of great significance." Zhuge Ming glanced at Magistrate Qin meaningfully and said, "Brother Qin is so attentive and really admirable. I have approved this matter."
