Chapter 996: Confidentiality Clause
Those who can sit here are all big dogs. However, the rich people of this era do not have the habit of saving their own property in the money house, but will be buried deeply in the cellar of their own home or hidden in a secret room. They will only deposit the money from their homes in the money house during large transactions, and then withdraw it to another place to avoid the risks brought by long-distance transportation of money.
In this way of temporarily depositing, the money house naturally needs to withdraw positions, and the fees charged are not low. These rich people do this because of distrust of money. If you deposit a large amount of money, who will you cry when someone announces bankruptcy? Even if you kill these guys, it will not help? Of course, there is a second reason. Some of them, whether they are doing business or officials, do not want to expose their wealth. If they store large amounts of money in the money house, will they reveal their core secrets?
However, Changlong Bank has solved the first problem. They have the financial resources of the Ministry of Revenue of Dachu as a guarantee. This is unexpectedly in danger of bankruptcy. Every year, they will get a stable income from the Ministry of Revenue of Dachu. After hearing Feng Ke's words, some people have begun to be moved. Of course, they are just moved. If possible, they are willing to save some money in it. Even if it is an investment to establish a good relationship with Changlong Bank, now everyone knows that the backend boss of Changlong Bank is extremely big, and that is a whole country standing.
"Since Boss Feng has spoken, we naturally have to help." A businessman smiled and said, "But the savings you just mentioned are different, and the interest rates are different. What did you say?"
Feng Ke smiled, "This is exactly what I want to explain to you. To give a very simple example, if you deposit 1,000 taels of silver for me and deposit 10,000 taels of silver for me, the interest of the latter will be higher than the interest of the former. We Changlong have a specific interest standard, which can actually be seen in our main business hall, but everyone has not paid attention to it."
"What if it's 100,000 taels?" the businessman just now said jokingly.
"If the standard exceeds a certain standard, then the interest rate is agreed upon by both sides." Feng Ke said with a smile: "But if the standard exceeds a certain standard, then you can only be regular."
"What is regular?" someone interrupted.
"It is when you deposit it, we will give you a higher interest, but you can only withdraw it within the specified period, and not at any time." Feng Ke smiled and said, "If you deposit one million taels of silver at once and I just borrowed the money, you suddenly came to me and told me that I want to take the money away. Where can I get such a large amount of silver for you in a while?"
"I don't have so much money to save, jokes, jokes!" The man who just interrupted, laughed dryly, and a burst of ridicule sounded in the hall. However, Feng Ke keenly discovered that those people were not ridiculing, but they were like the guy in front of him who could indeed take out the money, but it was just because it was overshadowed by so many discerning people, which caused public indignation.
He is really a rich man. Feng Ke thought with emotion.
"Everyone, if you have more than a certain amount of this kind of money, you can only withdraw it regularly. Everyone is well aware of this. I think we can understand what I mean by Changlong is not that we can't take it out, but that we are anxious to get such a large amount of money. After all, we have to use money to make money, and it is impossible to put the money in the banknote and it will be moldy."
"It's understandable!"
“There is nothing incomprehensible to this.”
Echoes of understanding sounded in the hall, most of the rich businessmen here, and naturally they encountered similar situations.
"So, in general, the more money you save, the higher the interest you get." Feng Ke smiled and said, "So everyone, don't put your money in the cellar and get moldy. Save them to us to come to Changlong and let your money be given to you!"
There was a burst of laughter in the hall.
"Everyone, don't be irritated, don't be irritated!" Feng Ke waved his hand repeatedly, "What I want to talk about next is our Changlong Bank's second special offer for major customers. I believe that everyone here will be very interested in this."
"Boss Feng, don't keep it a secret, just say it!" a man said loudly.
"Everyone, we are all businessmen and have a wealth of wealth, but if we are too rich, some people will inevitably be worried about it. So, even if we make a lot of money, we have to hide it, for fear that others will find out." Feng Ke said slowly.
The hall suddenly became quiet. Feng Ke's words could be said to be in the hearts of most people here. Merchants are rich, but merchants have no political status. Once they are fat and strong, they often become targets of harvest. Therefore, big merchants have to spend a lot of money to find a strong thigh for themselves, but these thighs are not entirely reliable. Some are jealous and then take action, while others are the thighs themselves fall. Once the thighs fall, what good end can the vines attached to them have?
"It seems that what I said is in everyone's heart." Feng Ke said with a smile: "This is also the real reason why a lot of the money you make is buried underground. So the second service we launched by Changlong Bank is the confidentiality system."
"What is a confidentiality system?" asked again.
"For example, you have placed the money in our Changlong Bank, but unfortunately you have a problem and offended it. Just to give an example. If someone wants to check your property, we Changlong will not cooperate. They cannot see the accounts you deposited in our bank, and they don't know how much money you saved in our bank." Feng Ke said slowly.
There was a slight riot in the hall.
"If something really happens, the money is gone and the person is gone, what's the use?" A businessman said tragically. "Isn't it cheaper for you Changlong Bank in the end?"
"Wrong!" Feng Ke said loudly: "If I mean, Hou Ru, something happened to one of you in the future, but as long as one of your family escapes, for example, to escape to our Ming Dynasty, your family will be able to raise money at any Changlong Bank in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, everyone, to do this, you need to have your family escape. If I give me advice, it is that you have a family member who holds your token and stays in our Ming Dynasty."
"What if it were the Emperor of our Great Chu who wanted to look at these accounts?" A man who was obviously an official stood up and asked, his face a little unnatural.
"Not even!" Feng Ke said decisively. "Here, I will hand you a real account for a large customer. We will make two accounts, one where you deposit, and the other will exist at the headquarters of the Ming Changlong. If something happens to you in Da Chu, the account within the Chu realm will be destroyed. There is nothing left, and the king of Da Chu is afraid that he will not have the ability to find out my headquarters of Da Ming Changlong."
A faint and surprising voice sounded in the hall. Compared to the interest given by Changlong Bank, this is what really attracts them. As businessmen and very rich businessmen, what they worry most is that they are coveted because they are too fat. Once someone with a status like them miss them, the other party's origin will definitely be something they can't afford to offend. Once they get involved, they have almost no other way except to be slaughtered. Feng Ke's proposal obviously gave them another way out.
"A good method is a good method, but this is just Boss Feng's remarks. What should I guarantee it?" The official's face was a little pale.
Feng Ke smiled. It seemed that the intelligence officials of the Ming Dynasty were not wrong. The officials of the Da Chu who could sit here were quite rich. Of course, their money must be from the wrong way, but what does this have to do with the Ming Dynasty?
"Does our Emperor Ming Dynasty's guarantee count?" he asked with a smile. "Come on, please ask your Majesty for your secret decree!"
A loud bang in the hall burst into the extremely surprised sound.
A powerful man from Kong Wu strode in and put a box on the table with great importance. Feng Ke saluted the box first, and everyone in the hall stood up at this time.
Feng Ke took out a scroll from the box and showed it to everyone. The people in front of him gasped. Without looking at the content, they just needed to see the bright red seal of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and the auxiliary seal of the Chief Minister's Political Affairs Hall, and they knew that all this was indeed true.
Unlike the State of Chu, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor issued an order and needed the chief minister to use the seal before it could be considered a formal implementation. If the chief minister's seal is missing, it would be useless. These people are all knowledgeable people and naturally understand the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty.
"His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that as long as these people did not violate the Ming Dynasty's laws, your private property will be protected by the Ming Dynasty and no one can invade it!" Feng Ke smiled and said, "This is the only condition. In other words, if you have any trouble in Chu State, even if you are rebelling, as long as you do not violate the Ming Dynasty's laws, it will not be a problem!"
"This, this is really a good thing!" Finally, in a shock, an old man took a deep breath and said calmly. "Not only has interest, but also left a way out to avoid the end of the nest!"
"That's the truth!" Feng Ke said with a smile: "But everyone, if you want to trigger the confidentiality order, there is another prerequisite, that is, the amount of deposits must not be less than 500,000 taels."
