Thanks to Chu Yuening's advance planning, Daqin Bank had already been completed and was located in the most prosperous commercial center of Xianyang.
Now the time has come, it's time to open.
In addition to the newly appointed president Bu Xianglian, the bank's management also includes talents from Xuegong Business School.
Most of them are proficient in arithmetic and have sufficient knowledge of financial management, and their professionalism is unquestionable.
Moreover, each of them is a candidate for future branch president in various regions.
The first day of January in early summer is a good start for the business.
At the magnificent bank entrance, two majestic stone Pixiu were squatting beside it, a bright red carpet was laid in the middle, and beautiful flower baskets were placed on both sides of the road.
The distinguished guests who attended the event were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had extraordinary appearances. They were all high-ranking officials and wealthy families.
The whole scene was luxurious, grand and grand.
The onlookers who were watching the excitement were secretly shocked and talked about it.
"What kind of store is this? It's so grand!"
"Tsk tsk, so many adults gathered together, it must be something special."
"I don't know why the plaque is covered?"
A moment later, a kind-looking man came on stage to preside over the event, with a warm smile on his face.
"Welcome, distinguished guests... Today, Daqin Bank is holding a grand opening ceremony..."
As soon as the ceremony was announced to begin, gongs and drums sounded and firecrackers blasted.
What follows is a series of solemn and tedious processes.
During this time, while the dignitaries were chatting and laughing, they did not forget to secretly think about the benefits of the bank to their families.
The people watched the wonderful lion dance performance intently and applauded continuously.
After figuring out the bank's various businesses, the businessmen's eyes lit up and their minds were full of thoughts.
The so-called banks not only provide savings, deposit, and custody services, but also provide lending, exchange, and issuance of banknotes.
This is undoubtedly extremely convenient for businessmen, whether it is business transactions or capital turnover.
As time passed, the music gradually stopped.
At the grand ribbon-cutting ceremony, a woman dressed smartly and exquisitely slowly walked onto the stage.
Her face is gentle and elegant, her temperament is calm and restrained, and her eyes are soft yet sharp, making people dare not underestimate her.
Even facing countless scorching gazes, Bu Xianglian was not at all nervous, and her face was filled with a sincere and joyful smile.
She invited several distinguished guests present to cut the red silk with great significance together in the watchful eyes of the crowd.
When it came to the final unveiling ceremony, the red silk slowly fell, and the four golden characters "Daqin Bank" on the plaque above the bank shone brightly.
It symbolizes the official opening of the first bank in the Qin Empire.
The VIPs were the first to enter the magnificent bank hall and deposited their first sum of money with great enthusiasm.
After they left, shrewd businessmen came in one after another. They were not in a hurry to negotiate business, but first found out the interest terms and other matters.
The people originally just wanted to watch the fun, but when they heard that they would get gifts such as rice, flour, oil, eggs, etc. if they deposited money, they rushed in.
Bank tellers are all professionally trained, with professional reception procedures and friendly service attitudes, which makes some timid customers feel much more at ease.
Soon, the hall was filled with noise and became very lively.
Aunt Liu takes care of the household chores and is always good at budgeting. She was so happy to see that there was an opportunity to get a bargain.
She looked at the dazzling array of gifts and wished she could take them all home. She asked the teller anxiously.
"Girl, how much money do I need to save to get a barrel of oil?"
"One thousand coins is enough, and there will be interest every year."
"Interest? What is that?"
"In short, it's the interest we pay you for lending money. The more money you deposit and the longer you keep it, the higher the interest..."
The female teller explained patiently.
After Aunt Liu understood, she was extremely excited, but still asked in disbelief.
"So I put my money with you guys, and it will make more money without me doing anything?"
"Yes, you are right."
After receiving a positive answer, she immediately stood up and rushed home, ready to save all her savings.
Many people were as excited as Aunt Liu, not only for the free gifts, but also for the long-term interest.
After all, money kept at home will only rust, but money kept in the bank will make money.
Anyone who is not a fool knows which one to choose.
It’s not that no one is worried that banks will embezzle their hard-earned savings.
But over the past decade, under a series of policies that benefit the country and the people, the country's credibility has reached its peak.
In addition, with the high-ranking officials leading by example, the people also felt reassured.
In addition to the booming deposit business, the lending business is also very popular among merchants.
A thin middle-aged businessman squinted his eyes slightly, with a gleam in his eyes, and bargained desperately.
"Can the interest rate be lower? I'm going to do a big deal and need to borrow a lot of money."
"My dear guest, the interest rate of 3% per year is already extremely low. This is a special reduction made by our bank to celebrate the opening of our business. It will increase to 4% in a while."
Hearing this, the middle-aged businessman could only sigh regretfully.
However, this interest rate is already low enough. If I borrow money from his old fox friends, I will inevitably spend a lot of money and owe them a favor.
Money is easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to mortgage his assets to the bank for a loan. After repaying the loan, both parties would owe each other nothing.
Some other people who wanted to do business were unable to borrow money before, some were too embarrassed to ask for money, and some had no choice but to give up. But after the bank opened, all problems were solved.
With the bank as an important link, Daqin's commercial trade has been greatly boosted and its economy has become more and more prosperous.
But from now on, Bu Xianglian, as the bank president, will be very busy.
A month later, summer arrived quietly.
The people of Xianyang City still talk about the bank with great relish, chatting about trivial matters such as who received a bag of rice and who received a barrel of oil.
In a commercially developed environment, information circulates extremely quickly, and now almost everyone in the country knows about the bank's news.
Most people are envious and feel that the money in their hands is no longer interesting.
Merchants saw the huge role of banks in commercial trade, so they looked forward to banks opening all over the country as soon as possible to facilitate their business transactions.
After Bu Xianglian had dealt with the bank's opening matters, she immediately started preparing for the branch without taking a break.
Meng Tian, who had been alone in her room for a month, could no longer bear it.
He originally went to complain to his mother, but the latter responded with disgust.
"Lian'er is a big shot. Just stay home and take care of the kids. Don't bother her."
Meng Tian couldn't hold it in any longer.
He stared at his dear mother with resentment, feeling full of grievances.
Isn’t your son your beloved Tiantian?
As expected, after having a daughter-in-law, one forgets about the son.
