Illegitimate Daughter’s Revenge - C99
The news of the opening of the Huitong Bank instantly spread throughout the entire Korea, and the shop was easy to choose from. Ji Zhen immediately took out a shop under her name and arranged for the inside of the shop to be filled up, and in the shop there dug out a large gold vault, which was used to store the silver, inside it was a steel mold that Ji Zhen had specially made.
“Crackle!” The sound of the firecrackers did not stop, Ji Zhen had sent people to spread the hundred meter long firecrackers, just to create momentum for the bank. The moment the news spread, the citizens of Hanzhou City ran over to the entrance of the bank to watch the commotion.
This news was even more attractive than anything else. Not long later, the entrance of the bank was filled with people who came to save money. Of course, most of these people were retail investors, so the amount of money they could put in wasn’t much.
You think this Huitong Bank is unreliable? That’s impossible. Didn’t you see that the Ji Family had put all his money in there, and even the Mayor had brought silver with him. Who would dare say that the Huitong Bank was not safe?
“Huitong Bank, this is a good name, ah, a name, a good name, a good name, a good name!” Su Cheng’an, who was standing at the entrance of the bank, pointed at the signboard. After he finished speaking, he nodded his head.
Su Yun pulled Ji Zhen and walked to the side, “Don’t think that I don’t know that you and Ren Qing were the ones who did this bank. You’re the one who said this, why didn’t you think about me when such a good thing happened?!” Ji Zhen looked at Su Yun’s willful stomping and could not help but sneer.
In truth, the two of them both knew that no matter how friendly the Ji and Su Families were, there were some things that had to be done at a distance, otherwise, the people in the upper echelons would become suspicious. In other words, Su Yun was playing around. Last night, the Su City guards even appeared on Kaiser and said that the Ji Family was useless.
According to the news that Ji Zhen had heard, although Kaiser was furious about the discord between the two families, and that the Su City’s defense always looked for trouble, but after she left the imperial court, Kaiser was happy. After all, when he heard that he had saved Su Yun, he was so angry that he lost his wineglass.
What made Ji Zhen even more surprised was that not long after, most of the merchants in the city had come to the bank to save money, but for these rich people, each inch was worth thousands and thousands of silver. Naturally, they could not line up in front of the counter.
“Everyone, please come in.” Ji Zhen anxiously went up to welcome the various God of Fortune, after all, many things had to depend on their money, furthermore, they had to put their money in the bank, it was a form of trust towards Ji Zhen, and it was also a form of publicity for the reputation of the Huitong Bank.
“Princess, you are truly trying to kill us. We can just go in ourselves. We won’t trouble you any longer, Princess.” The leader was the President of the Korea’s Chamber of Commerce, who was also the richest person in Hanzhou City. He was the current Ren Family’s master, Ren Qing’s younger brother Ren Dong.
“Then please come in, Sister Qing is still waiting for you inside.” Ji Zhen had thought that the Ren Family would bring people to support him, but she didn’t think that she would bring people from the Hanzhou City’s Chamber of Commerce as well.
In fact, the most important thing about a bank was the circulation of banknotes. Normally, the larger a bank was, the longer time passed, and the deeper the background of the people behind it would be, and the banks would naturally get more prosperous and the banks would also give them face. They would approve of their banknotes, and if the banknotes were not approved by their peers, they could only be used in this bank, limiting the development of the bank.
Ji Zhen was worried about this matter the most, if the various clan and bank refused to accept Huitong Bank’s banknotes, then things would become troublesome. After all, it was fine to stay in the Hanzhou City, but other than the Hanzhou City, no one would believe her.
Unless Ji Zhen could open up the entire Huitong Bank to every corner of the Great Qin Nation in a short period of time, even if the various banks did not accept the transfer of banknotes, the exchange could still continue to develop for a long period of time. But until now, the only person who could do this was probably the Rongsheng Bank.
The abilities of these old banks were not limited to just that. When the banks reached the later stages of their development, most of the merchants who had dealings with him would borrow money from the banks, which meant that these merchants all had shares in the banks. If the banks refused to acknowledge him, then perhaps these merchants would not recognize him either.
These were all the dangerous situations that the Huitong Bank might face in the near future, and before that, Ji Zhen needed to be prepared. As for this hope, it was to cooperate with the Rongsheng Bank, and with the support of the Rongsheng Bank, the threat of the other old banks would disappear.
As for how to take down Prosperity, Ji Zhen had long planned that way, because other people might not know who was behind it, but she did. In her previous life, she was this Rongsheng Bank’s big client. Behind the Rongsheng Bank was none other than this Prince Li’s Mansion!
Furthermore, the new year was about to arrive. As the niece of this Prince Li, if Ji Zhen used the matter of giving her own uncle a new year as a gift to build a relationship with him and were to negotiate on this matter, there should not be any big problems.
It was at the end of the year that the matter of gifts once again became a troublesome matter. Although the Ji Mansion had a high position, there had to be exchanges of courtesies in the end. Originally, it was all done by the Old Liu, but now the Ji Qin was also requesting Ji Zhen to complete the gifts.
