Bennett started cooperating with Shu Daqiang. From now on, he would not prevent the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce from issuing new currency in Danga.

As compensation, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce will sell Bennett a batch of materials at cost price and even increase his loan limit.

This made Bennett happy, but also a little puzzled. Is the right to issue currency really worth so much?

In Bennett's view, as long as the currency has value, it doesn't matter who issues it. Gold, silver and copper are rare metals and have value in themselves. Even if they are not minted into currency, they can still be spent.

The reason why these countries have their own currencies is simply because it is rather chaotic to use other countries' currencies, and it is easier to unify them by issuing their own. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to weigh the currency every time a transaction occurs, although there are many such things now.

What he agreed to was something that he didn't think was too important, but what the other party gave were real benefits.

Things like these interest-free loans are real money in your hands!

With funds and equipment, he can make Danga stronger, with more territory and more people. The larger the territory and the more people there are, the faster he can make money.

So this is a business that is sure to make money.

Even in Bennett's opinion, it would be difficult for the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce to make the orcs of Danga believe in the Red Leaf currency.

After all, orcs are more pragmatic. The reason why gold coins are valuable is that they are made of gold, and your paper money is just some special "paper". Although it is beautiful enough to be a collectible, this kind of beauty, in the eyes of many orcs who have no culture, is just a piece of paper, a prettier piece of paper.

Therefore, it is a big problem to make the orcs believe that these "papers" are valuable. At least in Bennett's opinion, it is difficult.

After all, everyone has been using metal currency for so many years and is used to it. It is impossible for them to rashly believe in anything else.

Bennett, with good intentions, tactfully reminded Shu Daqiang a few times, but Shu Daqiang didn't care at all. He had heard from Zhang Feng that the most difficult part of promoting a new currency was official obstruction. As long as no one obstructed it, it wouldn't be a problem.

Faced with the mysterious Shu Daqiang, Bennett became a little curious. He wanted to see how these people promoted the new currency.

the next day.

As Bennett expected, Red Leaf Bank began to promote Red Leaf currency.

The result was similar to what Bennett had expected. Although everyone was curious about this new currency, it was obvious that the Red Leaf Bank here could not be compared with the Red Leaf Bank in Red Leaf City. Although everyone thought that the Red Leaf Bank was not bad, they did not trust it to the extent of saying that a piece of paper was money.

Of course, it’s not that no one redeemed their coins, it’s just that the number of redemptions was relatively small, far from meeting the expected requirements.

Shu Daqiang was not worried about this at all, because Zhang Feng had already anticipated this. After all, there was no one in Danga whom they could trust enough, not even Bennett.

So, the Hongye Chamber of Commerce began to implement Zhang Feng’s plan.

On this day, the orcs in the capital of Danga Kingdom were surprised to find that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce was selling a lot of strange food.

In fact, after the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce came to Danga, they did not engage in retail business. In addition to trading with King Bennett and Duke Raman, they opened banks, built buildings, bought mines, recruited workers, etc.

In the eyes of many orcs, the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is a "construction" caravan.

It’s really novel that they suddenly started selling food this time.

Before the opening of the Hongye Grain Store, there was a series of publicity, and basically everyone in the city knew about it, which made everyone curious about what kind of grain the Hongye Chamber of Commerce would sell. In addition, since today was the first day of opening, the Hongye Chamber of Commerce had an event. It was said that as long as there was a transaction record of more than 100 yuan at the Hongye Grain Store today, you could enjoy a chance to draw a lottery. There was no limit to the number of draws. The more you bought, the more you could draw.

There are four types of prizes: commemorative prize and first to third prizes.

The commemorative award is a commemorative gift.

The third prize is an instant discount of 100 yuan.

The second prize is a free purchase of the entire purchase.

The first prize is a steam car! The winning rate is 100%. As long as you participate in the lottery, you will at least get a commemorative prize!

As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked.

No matter if you have anything to do today, just run to Hongye Grain Store!

This was the first time they had seen something like a lottery, but it was not difficult to understand. No matter if they were educated or not, they could understand it with a little explanation.

A steam car! This is worth tens of thousands of gold coins! If you win this, wouldn’t you be rich? Even if you don’t win, the commemorative gift should be worth it.

When everyone arrived at the Hongye Grain Store, they were first surprised by the spacious and exquisitely decorated store. Then, after seeing the things inside, they were all stunned.

Apart from Rye, what were the other things? As if seeing everyone's confusion, several female orc salespeople soon came out to explain.

“This is corn…”

“This is barley…”

“It’s potatoes…”

“…”

As they explained, staff members brought out plates of beautiful, exquisite and fragrant food.

"We use these grains to make these foods, and everyone can taste them for free."

As soon as the female orc salesperson finished speaking, countless sounds of people swallowing saliva were heard at the scene.

“You can still eat for free?”

Many orcs' eyes lit up, and they decided not to stop until they were full.

However, the salesperson took out a super mini "small dinner plate", which was actually a piece of black bread. It was very small. When placed in the orc's hand, it was a bit exaggerated to say that it was the size of a fingernail. It was probably about the size of two fingernails.

She scooped a spoonful of mashed potatoes first, then placed it on a small dinner plate and handed it to an orc in front of her.

"Would this gentleman like to try it?"

"Oh, okay!"

Looking at the food in his hand, the orc felt that it was too small, not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. But smelling the rich aroma, he put it into his mouth anyway.

“Hmm!”

The food passed through his taste buds, and the fragrant, soft and smooth taste made him open his eyes wide.

“How does it taste?”

The female orc salesperson asked with a smile.

As official employees of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, they had tasted all the food in advance, and the taste was amazing! "It's delicious... No, I, I can't taste anything yet!"

As he spoke, the orc licked his lips.

"Well, I'm sorry, because there are so many people here, and each person only has one chance to taste it! If you still want to eat it, you can only buy it yourself."

The saleswoman spread her hands.

"I see..." The orc was a little disappointed, but he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. "Oh, I can buy it!"

As he spoke, he took out a purse. From the jingling sound inside, he estimated that there was quite a bit of money.

"I want to buy this... potatoes, yes potatoes!"

Looking at the gold coins handed over by the other party, the female salesperson did not take it, but showed an embarrassed look.

"Excuse me, sir. Our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce has a rule that if you want to buy something from our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, you can only pay with our Red Leaf currency. We are not allowed to accept non-Red Leaf currencies, so..."

"Ah, you don't want gold coins? These are gold coins produced in Danga. There are definitely enough of them, and nothing mixed in!"

The orc asked with some hopelessness.

"That won't work either, only red leaf currency will work!"

The female salesperson still refused to give in. They had been given a strict order from their superiors not to accept any precious metal currency, even if the other party offered a premium!

"I……"

If the orc hadn't taken the fully-armed guards nearby into consideration, he would have started cursing. This was the first time in his life that he had seen someone not accepting gold coins!

At this moment, another thin orc behind him stretched out his hand and squeezed over.

"I have red leaf currency, I have red leaf currency!"

Looking at the red currency in his hand, the saleswoman smiled brightly.

"Sir, which one would you like?"

The female salesperson became much more polite in her words, and the orc also made way for her, since he had no money. The other orcs looked over curiously.

"I want corn, one hundred bucks a piece!"

The thin orc spoke eagerly, as if it would be too late and there would be nothing left.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

One hundred yuan is equivalent to one gold coin, which is not a lot, but not a small amount either. Soon, a staff member came with an armful of a large bag and handed it to the thin orc, and gave him a receipt at the same time.

But don't be fooled by this orc's thin body. He lifted the large woven bag with ease.

"Sir, you have met the lottery conditions and have one chance to win the lottery. After you finish shopping, you will be settled."

The saleswoman spoke politely.

"I won't buy it for now, let's settle it now."

The thin orc seemed to be a little short of money.

"Okay, please give me the shopping receipt."

The saleswoman still smiled politely, and then asked the orc to reach into a huge lottery box next to him.

He grabbed something in there at random, pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to the saleswoman.

The note was very delicate and no one could forge it. The orcs stopped talking and gathered around. They were very curious about what the prize was.

The female salesperson scratched the ticket in front of everyone, and saw the words "Second Prize" written on it.

“Second prize!”

Someone exclaimed.

Some people also wondered:

"What is a second-class general?"

"Free of charge, the second prize is free of charge for the entire purchase!"

Someone explained with some envy.

This thin group of orcs seemed a little confused.

"Ah? This is the second prize? Does that mean I can get it for free?"

"That's right sir, congratulations on getting the chance to get this shopping free!"

As the saleswoman spoke, she handed the hundred yuan she had just received to the thin orc.

"I……"

However, the thin orc looked conflicted.

"Can I, can I buy some more?"

"Of course you can, but you have already finished shopping. If you buy again, it will not be part of this transaction, and the free bill this time will not be counted!"

The saleswoman reminded me kindly.

"...Oh, forget it, it doesn't cost any money anyway..."

In the end, the thin orc shook his head, took the corn and money and left.

The other orcs watched all this, and at this moment, they felt jealous and a little sour.

"Hey, this guy is so stupid, he couldn't just buy more! He finally won the second prize, but ended up getting 100 yuan for free. This is no different from the third prize!"

"That's right! If it were me, I would definitely buy more things and then participate in the lottery!"

"That's right, if I win the lottery and get a free meal, that would be a huge profit!"

Everyone was talking about it, as if they could also win the second prize.

"Everyone, except for the commemorative prize, which is unlimited, all other prizes are limited. One person will win the first prize, 20 people will win the second prize, and 300 people will win the third prize. Those who draw first have a greater chance of winning! There are only 19 second prize winners left!"

The female salesperson said somewhat temptingly.

Listening to her words, everyone was a little uneasy. She won the second prize the first time, so even if she was unlucky, she could win the third prize! 100 yuan is a gold coin! One gold coin can buy half a month's worth of black bread!

"I'm going to the bank to change money!"

An orc roared, which was like a signal, and instantly a large group of orcs ran towards the bank.

It suddenly became much quieter here.

As for those orcs who did not leave, they had exchanged banknotes. They looked at the lottery box with some anticipation, wondering what they would win.

"Everyone, you can taste the food here, but because the quantity is limited, each person can only taste it once..."

Several female salespeople were greeting customers.

"Mmm! So delicious!"

“It smells so good!”

"I've never eaten such delicious food, but there's just too little of it..."

After tasting these novel foods, the orcs suddenly felt that it was worth buying these foods even without the lottery.

The orcs who can live in the capital of Danga Kingdom are generally wealthier than those in other places. They can fully afford these grains which are much more expensive than rye. It just depends on whether they are willing to consume them.

Soon people started buying and the lottery began.

"Congratulations, sir, you have received a commemorative gift!"

"What is the memorial gift?"

"The souvenir is a beautiful handbag and a quarter meal ticket. Here it is."

The handbag is made of green cloth with a large Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce logo printed on it. This green looks fresh and beautiful and can be used to hold small items, which is quite good.

But this quarter meal voucher is a bit confusing.

"In three days, our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce's restaurant will be officially open. If you collect four meal coupons, you can enjoy a free meal for one person at the Red Leaf Restaurant. In addition to these corn and potatoes, the restaurant also has many delicious foods!"

"Oh? And these foods!"

When the orcs heard the saleswoman's words, their eyes lit up.

The prices of these foods are not cheap, so it would be nice if I could have a free meal! But what is this restaurant of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce? It sounds like it is very interesting.

The saleswoman only briefly mentioned the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce's restaurant, without going into detail, but it was enough to arouse everyone's curiosity.

Judging from this Red Leaf Grain Store, this restaurant must be good.

It's just a bit troublesome to exchange money. It seems that I need to always have some red leaf currency on hand in the future...

While everyone was thinking, a large group of people rushed over. These were the orcs who had just exchanged money and returned, and it seemed that there were quite a few more people.

"Make way, make way!"

Looking at the red, green and yellow banknotes in these people's hands, Shu Daqiang upstairs smiled.

The current situation is almost the same as what Zhang Feng expected, it just took a while to delay.

For the entire Danga Kingdom, or even the Danga Capital, the currency exchanged today is not a small amount.

But if things continue like this, the day will come when the red leaf currency, which is more convenient to carry, will replace the precious metal currency.

Zhang Feng believed that this day would come soon, because this grain store was just the foundation. The Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce would penetrate into every aspect of life, such as restaurants, pubs, hotels, and even taxis, making them inseparable from the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce. Then the Red Leaf currency would naturally replace their original currency.

Shu Daqiang thought silently that after the first prize was drawn, he could start selling civilian vehicles with the help of advertising.
