"What are you writing down? What are you writing down?" Li Yuanzhao's impatient voice came from the box, "Can I go out now? It's so stuffy here!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll open the door for you before you come out." Fang Zheng said, and quickly stuffed the banknote in.

Seeing this, Ao Chen added another line of small words.

At this moment, ATMs also have...

As for why it is not an ATM, Mr. Fang had already designed it. One invention can be split into two inventions.

Scholars who compile history books in future generations can add more words to their books...it will also be cool if it is spread out, right?

Li Yuanzhao opened the door of the ATM and immediately jumped out, letting out a long sigh: "I'm so suffocated. Tell me, what is this thing used for?"

Fang Zheng asked mysteriously, "Your Highness, do you feel safe sitting inside?"

“Not at all.”

"Alas, ordinary people are not like this. They tend to be inarticulate when meeting dignitaries... I have designed this for the future. What should I do if I am afraid of the stage when recruiting employees for the bank? This box can perfectly solve the problem."

Li Yuanzhao said in disbelief: "What's wrong with you? Are you bored? And what were you writing about outside just now?"

Fang Zhengyi looked embarrassed and waved his hands: "Nothing, since His Highness thinks this thing is useless, we won't use it. Ahem..."

Li Yuanzhao stared at him suspiciously.

Lao Fang's behavior was so confusing that it made people confused, but it was not the first time he did this.

"Is there anything else for me to see?"

Fang Zhengyi was excited: "Yes, the design of our bank is extraordinary. The county has the design drawings and a lot of specially customized furniture. I'll take you to have a look..."

......

The construction of the bank was still in full swing, and the original location of the teahouse was completely demolished in a very short time.

Today's construction is not like that of later generations. Many commercial decorations can only be done at night, and there are many other rules and regulations.

You have to deal with fire protection, insurance, three guarantees for the front door, and property management approval, etc...

That's not the case! The soldiers and horses just said hello, and the people came with hammers and started to work!

No matter whether it disturbs the people or not, they do it day and night and smash it with bang.

The waste from the demolition was thrown casually on the streets.

A group of people swarmed in, took away what was usable and took them home to use as firewood or to make furniture.

The remaining dust and debris were swept away by the sanitation team.

Therefore, the house was demolished at an extremely fast speed.

According to Fang Zhengyi's instructions, a tall and large fence was erected outside before the demolition work began.

The surface of the fence was also painted with countless squares according to Mr. Fang's instructions, and was sold as a temporary billboard.

Although it is a temporary fence, it is located in a great location, right next to the exchange.

With so many people passing by, the advertising fees can be considered a small profit….

Now, the demolition work is complete and construction has begun in full swing.

Fang Zhengyi did not work in the Pacification Office as usual, but instead took time off to come to the newspaper office.

The bank is progressing smoothly, and the advertisements on the fence outside have also caused a wave of heated discussions in Beijing. It’s time to start considering building momentum for the bank.

After Liu Zhongshun attracted the first batch of big customers, he began to promote the product to the general public.

Although big merchants and big families have strong financial strength, it is extremely difficult to attract their business.

Ordinary people are different. They used to be poor, but now their living conditions are better and they have a little savings.

A pile of sand makes a tower, a collection of furnishings makes a coat, and when combined, they may not be less than the wealth of a wealthy person.

It is very easy to take the money from them. All you need is a little temptation of interest and a little trust.

No matter how poor a person is, he or she actually has investment needs and investment urges, but they are never able to express them due to lack of channels and information.

The threshold for stocks is high and the risks are great, so ordinary people are conservative in their financial management and dare not invest.

Banks are different. They offer stable interest rates and are protected against theft. It couldn’t be better!

Inside the newspaper office, Fang Zhengyi was holding a newspaper while Xie Xian sat beside him.

After reading the whole article, Fang Zheng put down the newspaper and asked, "Are the reporters in our newspaper making a good living now?"

"Not bad." Xie Xian nodded, and then added, "It's enough to survive."

"Huh? What do you mean by enough to live on? Isn't it already five taels a month?" Fang Zheng frowned.

Xie Xian said helplessly: "Stock speculation. We reporters have the latest news, and everyone is speculating in stocks like crazy. Some money is enough to live on, and the rest is spent on buying stocks."

"Isn't this a gambler?" Fang Zhengyi said unhappily, "I came to you today to ask you to publicize something. Did you know that a house next to the stock exchange has been demolished?"

"Know."

"They are planning to open a bank there, or a money house. I'm co-founding it with the palace. After the bank opens, the newspaper will cooperate in promoting it. It just so happens that our reporters don't work hard but only speculate in stocks. You can mobilize them to deposit all their family money here. Also, any relatives of the reporters, and any clans you can contact, can deposit money in our bank. It's not in vain and will earn interest."

"Are all ten clans involved?" Xie Xian was a little dumbfounded.

Since the founding of Dajing State, not even two people have been found among the nine clans exterminated. Are they so aggressive in attracting deposits?

"What? Is it difficult?" Fang Zheng glanced at him.

"It's really difficult, sir. There's no way to rob money like this." Xie Xian whispered, "Newspaper reporters can't make much money anymore. They all hope to make a fortune from stocks."

"It's not like they can't withdraw the money! Let them help me clear the situation. My Jinyiwei will be mobilized in the future. If you want to withdraw the money, just do it yourself. I don't care. Tie this matter to the performance of the newspaper. Whoever fails to meet the deposit requirements will have problems getting promoted and getting a raise in the future. I'll see who dares not to deposit it!" Fang Zheng slammed the table one by one, and the matter was settled.

Xie Xian had no choice but to nod and agree: "Then what are you going to do about the publicity to the people, sir?"

"It's still early. I estimate that the bank will be completed by the end of the month at the earliest. During this time, ask your subordinates to take time to write more relevant manuscripts, and then select a batch and publish them on the market."

"The content should be detailed, just like before, and the language should be understandable to the people. Explain the pros and cons clearly to them, and mainly compare them with other banks on the market, so that the people know that other banks are garbage."

"For example?" Xie Xian asked.

"For example, look for scandals that happened in other money houses and say that this is impossible. The bank has never had any problems since it opened, and the funds are absolutely safe."

"But we are a newly opened bank, how could there be any accident?" Xie Xian looked strange.

"People don't care about that! They will believe whatever you say. Most people won't think of this, so just do it." Fang Zheng said, "Also, spread the word that students of Dongjiao University must pay their tuition through banks in the future, and don't have to pay it to the school."

"If you deposit more than five taels of silver in the bank, you will get free rice, flour, oil, eggs, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc. You can write these down. Small favors are fine. And..."
