Chapter 650 Desheng Bank
Some people couldn't afford it, and they got greedy and wanted to take it for themselves. They came to steal in the middle of the night, and they beat them again and again. They maimed group after group of people. After that, those people were probably afraid. , and then calmed down, not daring to steal again.
Later, he hid this piece of warm jade and did not show it to others. As time passed, he forgot that he still had a priceless piece of warm jade.
Today, when he saw Qi Mei looking so arrogant and irritated, he suddenly remembered that he still had a piece of warm jade.
Unexpectedly, Qi Mei dared to buy it.
Mr. Qian said solemnly again, "Let me tell you, even if you ask someone from the Dongfang family to guarantee, I won't give you credit."
"Who said it was on credit?" Qi Mei's nose was so angry that she blew her chin and glared, "Isn't it just a piece of jade? I can't afford it or something. You tell me the price and I'll give you money immediately. But, you Don’t ask for more. I’m a frequent visitor to Gem Street. If you ask for more, I won’t give up.”
"Don't worry, I won't take you. I'm the only old man in my family. What can I do with so much money? But I can't lose money. As for the care fees over the years, forget it." He said it was easy to talk to Qi Mei without any fuss. "Selling it, a stone has fallen from my heart."
"Then how much silver do you want to sell it for?" Qi Mei pricked up her ears and asked.
Xia Zihan on the side also pricked up his ears to listen.
It was too expensive. I was afraid that the money she brought was really not enough. Because she was coming to see Qi Mei, she specially sent a letter to Qi Mei in advance to ask Qi Mei to raise a sum of money.
Although the quantity is large, the price of this warm jade is not cheap at all, especially for such a large piece of warm jade.
Mr. Qian thought for a moment and then raised his finger, "Two hundred thousand taels of silver is a lot of money. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, I'll put it away."
"Two hundred thousand taels of silver?" Qi Mei was stunned.
In fact, she knew in her heart that such a large piece of warm jade, worth two hundred thousand taels of silver, was really not expensive.
You know, a piece of high-quality warm jade jade pendant can be sold for seven or eight hundred taels of silver. A top-quality warm jade jade pendant like this can be sold for at least one thousand, two hundred taels of silver. Moreover, this top-quality warm jade jade pendant can be sold for as much as 1,200 taels of silver. In any wealthy family, it can be used as a family heirloom.
As for this large piece of warm jade, she visually inspected it and estimated that at least four to five hundred pieces of jade pendants could be made. Each piece cost one thousand two hundred taels of silver, which is more than five hundred thousand taels of silver, which can earn more than three hundred thousand taels of silver. , more than half the profit.
Moreover, there is a lot of material left in the cut corners, which can be made into bracelets, earrings and other small accessories, and can be sold for a lot of money.
After all, this piece of warm jade costs two hundred thousand taels of silver, which is not expensive at all.
But the problem is, she doesn't have so much money.
Knowing that the master was coming, she ignored her physical weakness these days and sent people to collect all the silver from six shops in the northwest, which was only 70,000 taels of silver. Adding to the 30,000 taels of silver she had on hand, it was exactly 100,000. two.
They thought that one hundred thousand taels of silver would be enough for the master to buy some good gems and jades to take back to the capital, but they did not expect that they would encounter such a large piece of top-quality warm jade.
Still short of one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Hey...
what to do.
It seems that there are good goods, but the money is not enough.
Qi Mei became anxious and looked at Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan frowned. Looking at her, she couldn't raise that much money at once. What's more, the northwest was Qi Mei's territory, and Qi Mei couldn't even raise that much money. How could she?
Do you want to ask Dongfang Yi to borrow it?
With so much silver, I'm afraid even Dongfang Yi wouldn't be able to get it. Besides, the Dongfang family is too complicated. Even if Dongfang Yi asks the family for a hundred thousand taels of silver, it's probably not easy to get it.
Otherwise, Qi Mei would not look at her, but at Dongfang Yi.
Xia Zihan thought for a moment and gave up her plan to borrow money from Dongfang Yi. She looked at Chu Jingqi. Before she could speak, Chu Jingqi silently took out a wooden sign from her purse and handed it to her, saying , "There is Desheng Bank in Sun City. If you go to it, you can withdraw your money."
"How much?"
"One hundred thousand taels."
Xia Zihan's heart skipped a beat in shock, "So much?" What on earth is this wooden sign? How could so much money be taken out at once?
What if someone picked it up?
Xia Zihan's hand held the wooden sign tightly, as if she was holding the lifeblood of the Chu family in her hand, and she was a little nervous.
She guessed that this wooden sign was the physical evidence that the Chu family collected money from all over the country.
As for such important physical evidence, Chu Jingqi gave it to her without even thinking about it.
Her heart was filled with excitement and warmth, and she said to Qi Mei, "Wait here for a moment. Aqi and I will come as soon as we go."
"Hmm, don't worry, master. If Desheng Bank doesn't have enough money today, we can pay it tomorrow. Mr. Qian will leave it for us for two days, Mr. Qian, right?"
The following words were said by Qi Mei to Mr. Qian. She was worried that Desheng Bank did not prepare so many cash notes.
Mr. Qian hummed, and his eagle eyes were carefully looking at Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi, especially Chu Jingqi. The gaze almost seemed to pierce him.
Chu Jingqi acted as if she didn't notice, her expression remained unchanged, and she led Xia Zihan out of the door.
Dongfang Yi also sent a boy to lead them.
Dongfang Yi sent them out of the shop, and when they arrived at the door of the shop, Dongfang Yi said, "Princess, regarding the silver, if Desheng Bank has it, I will borrow it from my senior brother. I have 60,000 taels of silver on hand. Xiaomei's place There are one hundred thousand taels, but there is still a shortfall of 40,000 taels, which is not much, so my senior brother can agree." Xia Zihan was very happy that Dongfang Yi could do this for Qi Mei.
She smiled and nodded, "Yes, I remember."
Dongfang Yi asked the boy to take them to Desheng Bank.
Desheng Bank is not far from here, just three stores away from Dongfang Family's shop on the same street, very close.
After a cup of tea, the waiter said, "The Princess, the Crown Prince, has arrived. I will not go in, but will wait outside."
Princess Chu Yu and Master Chu took so much money, and it was not good for him to be here as a slave.
Xia Zihan and Chu Jingqi went in.
The waiter from the bank came out to greet them. Seeing that the two of them were well dressed and full of nobility, he immediately smiled brightly on his face, nodded and bowed and said, "Two distinguished guests, do you want to take money or deposit money?"
"Take the silver." Chu Jingqi glanced at him and said coldly,
The waiter was so cold that he shivered at that glance. His face stiffened and he hurriedly said, "You two, please follow me."
His voice was trembling a little.
Oh my god, where did this cold-faced god come from? He is so cold and arrogant.
In the room, there was a man dressed as a shopkeeper who was fiddling with his abacus. When he saw someone coming, he hurriedly stood up to greet him. Chu Jingqi didn't say much. He glanced at Xia Zihan. Xia Zihan took out the wooden sign and put it on the table. Previous release.
The shopkeeper picked up the wooden sign, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Chu Jingqi. Then, he sent the boy out of the room and looked at the wooden sign again.
Perhaps it was too dark in the room, so he went to the window again and took a closer look.
Then, his face changed drastically, and he came over in panic, and knelt down in front of Chu Jingqi with a plop, "Master has arrived, and I am not far away to greet you. Please forgive me, Master."
"I'm just passing by." Chu Jingqi's face remained unchanged, her expression as cold as ice. "I need one hundred thousand taels of silver. It's urgent. How long will it take to raise it?"
The shopkeeper looked stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said, "It will be there soon. Yesterday, the shop just received a sum of silver, exactly one hundred thousand taels. I will go and get it for the master. Master, please wait a moment." .”
Then, he stood up tremblingly and ran to the inner room in a panic.
After a while, he came out with a box and opened it. There was a box full of banknotes inside.
"Master, here is exactly one hundred thousand taels."
Chu Jingqi stepped forward, closed the lid, and then reached out to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment before he remembered, and hurriedly returned the wooden sign to Chu Jingqi, and asked, "Master, would you like me to send someone to arrange a place for you?"
"No, I have a place to stay." Chu Jingqi took the wooden sign and gave it to Xia Zihan, and introduced to the shopkeeper, "This is my wife. Remember, the lady of Dongfang Wing belongs to my wife. , if she has any difficulty, try to help her.”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he knelt down and saluted Xia Zihan, "I have seen the mistress and I want to say hello to her."
"Get up." Xia Zihan said.
After the two of them walked out of Desheng Bank, Xia Zihan stared at Chu Jingqi several times with strange eyes. Chu Jingqi held the box in one hand and held her hand in the other, saying, "I will explain to you when I get back."
Xia Zihan snorted twice, with a look of displeasure on his face, "If I hadn't been in a hurry to use the money, would you have never told me?"
"I will tell you, but I will find a suitable opportunity." He said.
Xia Zihan's face looked better now.
However, from the moment she found out that this guy was actually the boss of Desheng Bank, her heart was beating like a drum and she couldn't calm down.
You must know that Desheng Bank was a newly opened small bank the year she returned to the capital. Later, no matter what the wind blew, it opened all over Dasheng in just a few years.
Desheng Bank exists in almost all larger cities.
Once upon a time, she had even guessed who the boss of Desheng Bank was. He could develop a bank so fast in just a few years. The backer behind this bank was either a prince or a relative of the emperor. .
Only when a bank has a strong backend can it develop rapidly.
She had guessed many people, including the Second Prince, Duke Lu, and even the Second Prince. She had guessed everyone with some status at that time, but she had not guessed about Chu Jingqi, who was still ten years old at the time.
At that time, he was only ten years old. Why did he want to open a bank?
Well, about this question, she would have to interrogate him properly after returning.
When they arrived at Qian Lao's shop, Chu Jingqi gave the box to Qian Lao. Chu Pang also went back and brought the 100,000 taels of silver prepared by Qi Mei. The total was 200,000 taels of silver. Qian Lao sat at the table, one by one. After counting for a long time, I finally finished counting.
He smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and said, "Well, the silver is just right, Nuanyu, you can take it."
