Early the next morning, United Bank.

The news about Zhou Hui's husband was true. One million taels of silver were shipped from Hangzhou and secretly stored in the bank's bank. This was a staggering amount of wealth.

It's just that the United Business Group has accumulated wealth over the years, and the Luzon gold mines are continuously producing gold. The most pressing thing facing the United Business Group is not how to make money, but how to spend money reasonably.

Following the different ideas of many gentry and landowners in hoarding gold and silver in kilns, the joint business group unanimously agreed to invest the silver in other industries to control larger industries.

Nowadays, the United Business Group has set its sights on the financial industry, and even plans to sell banknotes that can circulate throughout the country when Lin Haoran reaches the peak of power, and even become a veritable central bank of the Ming Dynasty.

However, the core secrets of these businesses are naturally not known to the outside world. A pair of invisible hands is controlling everything, seemingly placing chess pieces in an orderly manner.

Liu Feng ran a small workshop with more than 20 looms, but he was invited to the United Bank. After listening to shopkeeper Sun's explanation, he said with a face full of disbelief: "I can really make a profit with one cent of interest."

Just borrow 10,000 taels of silver from Guizhuang in the third installment and return it with interest after one year?"

"Yes, but you have to pledge the land deed of your workshop, and the funds will be mainly used to expand the workshop operation, and sell all the silk you produce back to us! Of course, our bank will not treat you badly, and we will discuss it with you.

Sign a contract and the purchase price is fourteen taels!" Shopkeeper Sun said expressionlessly while holding a steaming tea cup.

Liu Feng's face was still in disbelief. He swallowed silently and asked for verification again: "These are the requirements?"

"That's right! By the way, the silk we will purchase in the future will only be of new specifications. As for the old specifications... after today, we will not accept them anymore!" Shopkeeper Sun thought about it for a moment and then responded lightly.

Since the machine surface of the flying shuttle loom is twice as wide, the specifications are very different from the old-fashioned ones. Of course, this is actually just a difference in size, and the silk is still silk.

Although Liu Feng didn't understand why the other party would do this, he didn't reject it at all. He even coveted the other party's purchase price of fourteen taels. He immediately agreed hurriedly: "That's okay. My workshop has replaced it with a new loom.

Naturally, they are all produced according to Guizhuang’s specifications.”

Not only had a stable and high-priced order contract, but also received sufficient financial support, Liu Feng's confidence increased invisibly, and he happily agreed to this plan.

In fact, he could see that the joint boycott by Wang Youyin and his gang had already offended the United Business Group, so United Bank opened up the Suzhou market regardless of the cost.

Liu Feng knew that he was an insignificant person. Since United Bank provided such great support, he naturally chose to join United Bank and make a fortune with United Bank.

"If there are no problems, let's sign the contract now!" Shopkeeper Sun smiled slightly, took out the contract that had been prepared and said with a smile.

The same thing happened to other small and medium-sized silk workshop owners. Faced with the great sincerity shown by United Bank, they were very excited to sign contracts with United Bank.

It is under this banner of "eager to deliver goods to Francois" that United Bank plays the role of a man with a lot of money, lending a large amount of money at low or no interest, and even directly participating in some silk production

workshop.

In just a few days, a large amount of silver flowed crazily to the silk industry through the United Bank, causing silk that had been almost discontinued before to bloom with vitality.

Outside Suzhou City, the Humble Administrator's Garden was shrouded in clouds at noon.

Wang Youyin sat at the head of the meeting hall, while others sat on both sides. However, the initial laughter and laughter were gone, and many people's faces looked sad.

Since they formed an offensive and defensive alliance, Wang Youyin required everyone to eat and live here, and no one was allowed to leave, but only received information or delivered orders through messengers.

Just waiting quietly is always so unbearable. Special United Bank did not compromise, but took frequent actions and resolutely put on a desperate posture.

If they were not banned here, silk merchants like Xu Yuanwai would have surrendered long ago, but their bodies were already under Wang Youyin's control, and they could only follow Wang Youyin all the way to the dark side.

When he first heard that United Bank had signed a cooperation agreement with laid-off female weavers, Xu Shaoquan seemed quite disapproving and said: "It's up to them! How much cloth can a group of female workers weave in a day, and they really can't keep up with the delivery quantity?

"

This is actually a fact. After all, what the United Bank wants is not 10,000 or 20,000 horses, but a full 150,000 horses. This is not something that can be completed by just finding a bunch of contracted female workers.

When they heard that United Bank lent large sums of money to small and medium-sized silk workshops at low or no interest, and even provided financial support to some workshops that switched to silk production, they immediately panicked.

"Are they crazy? Where did they get so much money?" Gu Siding was the first to roar.

"Even if they have made money in the past few years, they can't be so messy, right?" Shi Yong'an also criticized dissatisfiedly.

In their view, United Bank's behavior of throwing money away is simply random.

In normal business, investing tens of thousands taels is usually considered a large sum, and one hundred thousand taels is already the upper limit of investment. However, United Bank is going to invest one million taels, or even more, and it seems that it is not worried about Suzhou City at all.

The workshop owners and weavers broke the contract, resulting in the loss of one million taels.

At first, they suspected that United Bank was bluffing, but when they learned that silk workshops of all sizes in Suzhou City, even those without land deeds, could get low-interest loans from United Bank, they could no longer sit still.

Xu Yuanwai looked up at the gloomy people and expressed his opinion bitterly: "Maybe they are really crazy, or... they don't care about the one million taels at all!"

The mouths of Xu Shaoquan and others moved. They originally wanted to refute, but in the end they made no sound.

Although they always feel ridiculous in their hearts, who in the world would regard a million taels as nothing, but the latter seems to be closer to the truth. It seems that they really made a mistake by breaking with the United Business Group.

Wang Youyin saw everyone's reaction in his eyes, but he seemed to be sure of victory: "What if they do this? As the saying goes, a good woman cannot make a meal without rice. I have been hoarding a large amount of raw silk since last year. This year's new silk

It won't be launched until May. Even if they have enough looms, they definitely don't have enough raw silk. In the end, the United Bank spent hundreds of thousands of taels in vain, and eventually they had to come to us for help!"

"really?"

"Wang Yuanwai is really a mastermind!"

"Haha... I asked why the price of raw silk has increased so much this year. It was originally Wang Yuanwai who was strategizing!"

…

When Shi Yongan and others heard this, they immediately felt relieved and gave Wang Youyin a thumbs up. However, many people secretly cursed him as an old fox. How much more could he earn from silk?
