266. The Golden Legend
It took me a long time to move people in the store who were "petrochemical" to move.
The guy tiptoed to look out the door and muttered, "You can really pretend, I almost got scared. Just take a piece of paper to use as a money? Let's play with the kids!"
Manager Li slapped the clerk at the head, "Silly! Isn't Huozi also a piece of paper?"
"Can that be the same?" The guy covered his head, quite dissatisfied. "Huizi was sent by the court. He wanted to behead his head for fraud. But the origin of this piece of paper is unknown. I have never seen it before. Who knows if it was issued by the Royal Bank."
The court punished the manufacturing of counterfeit money very severely, and rewarded for reporting counterfeiting, as high as 1,000 jin. If you don’t have money, you can be awarded an official position. Therefore, although it is not difficult to make a counterfeiting technically, it is difficult to not be reported.
Manager Li despised, "You know what's wrong! Do you think you shouldn't behead the fake bank? Isn't the royal family bigger than the imperial court?"
"Even if it is a Royal Bank's money ticket, there is no random number. Do you really think that the bank is issued by his family? If we fill in 10,000 guan, we will see if the bank gives it to it!" The guy was still stubborn.
In the Song Dynasty, business was developed and the financial field also developed. They had already started to speculate on priced tickets such as Dudai Tea, while banknotes such as Qianyuzi were essentially certificates of deposit, but they were marked with fixed amounts, so they were also easy to accept the concept of "check".
But it is really incredible to give a blank check and fill in the numbers casually.
"I'm really ignorant!" Manager Li was a little embarrassed, "Not to mention ten thousand and one hundred thousand, even if you fill in one million, the bank will give it to you, but do you have to give it to others worth so much money? If it's not enough, you have to fill it with your life. Do you understand it? You must know that what we do is to trade and follow the rules! Those who can get such a check now must be extraordinary. If you dare not follow the rules with him first, it will be the birthday boy's neck."
Rules are a constraint for many people, but they are also protection. Only those with sufficient capital can not follow the rules and even make rules.
"Haha, Shopkeeper Li is clear about it." A young guest said with a smile.
Manager Li bowed, "These are all simple truths, but this kid doesn't understand. As his uncle, I have to spend more time to let him know more, but I teach Mr. Zhou to laugh."
After saying that, he kicked the guy again, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and go and get those grinding bags... Work carefully!"
Zhou Langjun smiled again, "Shopkeeper Li is actually not completely right. This check is not enough to be collected from the bank. It also depends on whether there is so much money in the account, or the check level, and there is a certain overdraft limit."
"Oh, level? Overdrawn?" Manager Li looked like he was asking for advice. "Mr. Zhou is knowledgeable and hopes to give him advice."
"Haha, the shopkeeper Li is so serious that he can't say he is very knowledgeable. It just happened that his father also has such an account, so Zhou just got to know him a little."
Zhou Langjun looked like he was not a big deal, but his face clearly showed pride and show off.
"Oh, it is said that this check has been issued to less than 30 people, each with at least tens of millions of dollars in wealth. Zhou Langjun's family is definitely not easy." Another guest was surprised, with a warm expression and a look of making friends. "I am Zhong Tong, who came from Yangzhou, has unknown name Zhou Langjun."
Seeing that Zhong Tong was dressed gorgeously and looked graceful, not like an ordinary person, he was happy to meet each other. "Next Zhou Renfa is a native of Pingjiang. Brother Zhong came from another place, but the news is very well-informed."
"It's all heard from others, and I have only a little understanding of it. I still need to ask Brother Zhou for advice on the details."
Zhong Tong saw that he was a businessman, so he made a relationship in a few words, and beat a snake and said to him as a brother.
The others in the store followed the trend and praised Zhou Renfa a few words, "The Zhou family is worthwhile in our Pingjiang... This time I boarded His Highness the King of Yan's ship in time, and it would definitely be even more prosperous... Please tell me about this check, so that we can see it for a long time."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, even the Lu couple pricked their ears, Zhou Renfa's vanity was greatly satisfied and began to explain.
"Brother Zhong was right just now. Currently, there are only more than 20 people who are qualified to use checks, but it does not depend on how much money you have, but how many stocks of the three major companies you own. For the time being, only those who hold more than 10,000 shares can be qualified, and the Han family will meet this standard."
"Hiss...10,000 shares!?" Many people in the store took a breath, "One hundred guan, that's one million guan! The Zhou family is so proud!"
"No!" Zhong Tong's eyes glowed, "One hundred guan is the issue price. Now, no matter which stock of the three major companies, there are people who offer more than two hundred guan. Unfortunately, there is no market price. I haven't heard of anyone reselling the stocks they are in."
"Nee!" Another louder breathing sound, "It's only been a few days and it's doubled immediately. Wouldn't it mean that the Zhou family made a million yuan in a blink of an eye?"
Zhou Ren was proud but pretended to be humble, "It's all false, this is all false. Your Highness of the King of Yan said that this kind of speculation is just speculation, and it may be able to make money, but the risks are also very high. Therefore, ten big words can be seen everywhere on the exchange, "There is risks in entering the market, so you need to be cautious in investing." My father often said that Your Highness of the King of Yan is wise and kind, and what he said is the absolute truth. Even if you don't understand for a while, you can't make mistakes as long as you follow it. Therefore, the Han family's stocks will never be sold!"
When Zhong Tong came to Pingjiang, he actually wanted to buy some stocks, so he couldn't help but say, "It is said that these three major companies will only have to make profits and dividends in at least three to five years. Now that the stock price is so high, it's okay to sell some appropriately. If the Zhou family had this intention, Zhong would like to sell 300 shares!"
Haha, do you think I'm stupid?
It is true that dividends will be distributed three to five years later, but then there will be at least twice as much dividend every year. Which one is more important?
Zhou Renfa glanced at Zhong Tong with a light glance, but said, "Haha, Brother Zhong said something, but what my father believed was basically impossible to change, so I can only apologize to Brother Zhong."
Zhong Tong felt very regretful, "I rushed over after hearing the news, but I missed a huge opportunity in the end. It would be great if His Highness Yan King went to our Yangzhou."
People who can make 300 yuan per share must have some background. Zhou Renfa is naturally willing to continue making friends, so he comforted him, "Actually, Brother Zhong doesn't have to be discouraged. Although it is difficult to buy stocks of the three major companies, Pingjiang now has many financial resources. I heard that after a few days, another group of companies will go public. Perhaps it is not as good as the three major companies, but it is definitely a good way!"
"That's true. Now, there are construction projects everywhere in Pingjiang City. It can be said that gold and silver are everywhere. Unfortunately, I am a newcomer and don't know where to start. Fortunately, I met noble people when I went out and had the honor to meet Brother Zhou. If Brother Xian didn't dislike him, I would have to sit together?"
Zhong Tong came to the jewelry shop, just to prepare some gifts so that he could find someone to learn from the scriptures.
Zhou Renfa followed the flow and said, "It's easy to say it, I'll come to my mind when I see Brother Zhong. From now on, you and I will be close friends. We should support each other."
At this time, Manager Li was a little anxious, "Mr. Zhou, what do you mean by this level or overdraft?"
"Haha, look at me, just chatting with Brother Zhong..." Zhou Renfa slapped his forehead and continued, "There are five levels in this check. Simply put, those who hold more than 50,000 shares are the first level. In fact, no one can have so many stocks, so there is basically no first level, and 10,000 shares to 50,000 shares are the second level, just like the Han family, most of the other twenty are the second level, and then 5,000 to 10,000 shares are the third level. At the moment, only a few people have opened check permissions, one thousand to five thousand is the fourth level, and less than one thousand is the fifth level. These two levels will probably take a long time to open permissions."
"As for overdraft, even if you don't have money in your account, you can withdraw a certain amount of funds from the bank with the check. Speaking of which, this check is also a benefit for His Highness Yan to give to shareholders such as me. For example, in order to buy 10,000 shares, the Han family not only emptied cash, but also basically mortgaged and sold other industries. It is not an exaggeration to say that the family is a barren wall. The Han family is very poor now, haha."
Zhou Ren smiled self-deprecatingly, but others would not take it seriously. At the same time, he was deeply impressed by the Zhou family's cruelty. Speaking of which, Zhou Renfa complained about his father's decision, but later proved that Jiang is still so hot.
"This is not a big deal. If you really need money in urgent need, just sell some stocks. Even if you suffer a loss, you can't do it. But Your Highness is really unparalleled and righteous. Knowing that we have such difficulties, we specially set up an overdraft to alleviate it. Moreover, the annual profit is not high, only 20%.
"As for the amount, the first level seems to be unlimited, the second level is 300,000 guan, the third level is 100,000 guan, the fourth level is 30,000 guan, and the fifth level is not. It can only be withdrawn based on the deposit in the account."
Zhong Tong was stunned, "Unlimited? What does this mean?"
Zhou Renfa scratched his head, "Unlimited means unlimited. Simply put, a first-level check can withdraw all the money in the bank. Although it sounds outrageous, there is no real first-level existence after all."
"That's true." Zhong Tong thought for a while and asked again, "How can we distinguish these levels?"
Zhou Ren replied, "It's quite simple. Just look at the color of the six words "Royal Bank of Song Dynasty" on the check. The second level is silver, the third level is red, the fourth level will be blue, and the fifth level will be black."
Then there was a scream behind Manager Li, "Uncle, the color on your hand is wrong. I'm saying it, this is fake!"
It turned out that when the guy saw that everyone was fascinated by hearing this, he put down his plan and quietly ran to eavesdrop.
Everyone in the store was shocked. No, someone really dared to forge the Royal Bank tickets after eating the courage of Xiong Xin and Leopard!?
Manager Li was also panicked, but soon realized that the customer said that he would go to the bank to cash in first and then deliver the goods. It would be meaningless to give a fake one. It wouldn't be just a joke, but the color is indeed different from that of Zhou Langjun.
"I'll take a look!"
Taking advantage of the moment when Manager Li was stunned, Zhou Renfa walked over and pulled the check into his hand, looked carefully, and then he was stunned, "Golden!?"
"Impossible..." Zhou Renfa quickly rubbed his eyes, looked at it again, and then he was so excited that he started to sway, "Level 1, level 1! It's level 1!"
"Level 1?" Zhong Tong leaned over, "Didn't you just say that level 1 actually does not exist? Brother, you shouldn't have read it wrong."
"It's absolutely impossible! I have been observing my father's check for a long time. Except for the color of the six characters, the other details are not bad... Ah! I understand! Look at this seal! Just now, the man was His Highness, the King of Yan!"
Just when Zhou Renfa was extremely excited and the people in the store were shocked, a big man came in outside the door and took out a gold medal from his arms.
"I am the Imperial City Department! Your Highness's actions are a secret. Since you know now, hehe... Although you didn't know, there must be no leaks. Otherwise, you can't escape any of you here. Do you understand?"
After leaving this sentence, the man left.
It took a while for everyone to wake up, but they still felt countless eyes staring at them and their speech became extremely quiet.
"It's really your highness." Manager Li was still a little dazed when he got the check back.
"Can it be fake? Manager Li is so lucky. Your Highness came to your store and gave you a legendary first-class check. Tsk tsk." Zhou Renfa's eyes were full of envy.
Zhong Tong raised his hand and began to slap himself in the face, "I really have a pair of dog eyes. The real god came beside him and didn't recognize him. I missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this. It's so damn!"
Fan Wenhu was a little scared, mom, he was going to attack King Yan just now, but it was not good. If he held a grudge, killing me would be like killing an ant. How could this be good? No, I have to run away quickly.
Miss Lu also had a little surprise on her face, but she didn't care much. When she found that her husband's face was not good, she comforted her casually, "Don't worry, you are from my Lu family!"
The guy was furious and shook Manager Li, grinning, "Uncle, since it's a real check, let's go and exchange it quickly. This big deal, the boss will have to give us a lot of rewards."
Manager Li slapped his hand hard on the head, "I'll repay you! I know the reward. If I really go to repay, the boss will eat us. Do you know what this is? This is the real treasure. Not to mention thousands of guan, even tens of thousands or tens of thousands of guans are not as good as this piece of paper!"
He was cautiously holding the check and was at a loss. He could not disclose the way His Highness did for the time being, so he could not notify the owner. He just murmured to himself, "You have to frame this treasure... Let the craftsman make a golden plaque... This is the treasure of the store!"
Manager Li, who became a little nervous, immediately sent the customers in the store out quickly, and announced that they would close, and let all the friends stay in the store and not go out.
After leaving the jewelry shop, Fan Wenhu was comforted by Miss Lu, and was no longer so worried, and his mind became alive again. "My wife, the stocks of the three major companies sound very popular. They doubled in just over ten days. I wonder if our family has bought them? You have always had a good relationship with your brother. Now he is in charge of things. If you buy them, what if we exchange them with him?"
After hearing this, Miss Lu shook her head, "I heard from my brother that the King of Yan is unreliable. Sooner or later, we will offend all the powerful people in the world. Our family has its own foundation and does not need to rely on him, so it is better to keep a distance from him. Moreover, he has made these evil things look like that on the surface, but they are not at all stable. Maybe one day it will collapse. If our family invests money and is pinched by him, it will be tied to the King of Yan. Everything depends on his face. There are so many inconveniences. Another one, the Mongols are so fierce... We have to make more plans for the future..."
Although Fan Wenhu is her husband, Miss Lu does love him, but the one who is the one who is the one who is in charge of the family is Miss Lu. Although she has not married into a marriage in name, there is no difference in fact.
The two were just newly married, but Fan Wenhu actually started to fight Xiao Jiujiu. He wanted to rely on the Lu family to make a fortune, but he did not want to be completely controlled by the Lu family, so he urged his wife to gain some independent source of income.
"Okay, it's not unreasonable for my brother to think so, but I think it's always more convenient for me to have some money..."
"My own money? Don't I have a lot of dowry?"
"You have a lot of dowry, but there are always times when you spend nothing. It's okay for us to be short of money. It's okay to ask the family for some points, but what should our children do? You can't always rely on others. If you don't have a surname, you'll be a surname."
"You're right, then what do you think?"
"As the past few years, the land income has become lower and we can't do business. I think it's the most profitable company stocks. We also met King Yan today. He looks very easy to talk to. Why don't we find an opportunity to visit him."
