Li Wei only had to put on a smile and hold his arm all the way to the roadside of the port.

I was still a little embarrassed just now, thinking whether I should inform Calvin to arrange a car? Or rent one of those human-powered tricycles?

But the former was afraid of causing misunderstanding, and the latter seemed too shabby and rude.

I heard a crunching sound.

A luxurious-looking steam locomotive stopped in front of the two-headed dragon:

"Two distinguished guests, where do you want to go?"

'Huh? Has the original 'Taxi' appeared yet?'

Levi couldn't help but think.

But after thinking about it, this seems normal. After all, steam locomotives are still relatively rare. Coupled with their convenience, they are naturally in line with the consumption outlook of the aristocracy.

Therefore, even if some young descendants of aristocrats cannot afford steam locomotives, they still hope to use them for travel.

The market is like this. If there is demand, there will definitely be business opportunities and speculators who are good at seizing them.

Li Wei instinctively opened the car door for Xia Lanweilosi, and Xia Lanweilosi also instinctively got into the car. Li Wei stepped up from the other side and said:

"Church of Eros, thank you."

"It's our honor at George Automobile Dealers to serve you." The slightly thin driver in front said solemnly without looking back.

'George Automobile Dealers? Is it okay for Calvin to start getting involved in the taxi market? It's just that the configuration and decoration are a bit too high-end. Wait, why does the driver's back look familiar?'

Levi expelled this somewhat absurd idea, then opened a 'magic silent barrier', turned to Xia Lanwei Luosi and said:

"I wonder if Miss Xia Lanwei Luosi sometimes has such thoughts when doing business with some ordinary businessmen? If I suddenly saw a big business opportunity in Silver Moon City, I would take a large amount of 'gold and silver coins' with me on the road.

It would be too much trouble, and it would be easy to run into robbers on the road. It would be great if we could find a transaction method that both parties can fully trust."

After hearing Li Wei's words, Xia Lanwei Luosi, who was a little stiff, looked away from the blond driver, thought for a while, and said with a smile:

"Yes, it is true, especially when the goods I need to purchase are large and high-value. After all, neither the gems produced in the Jiaoyan Hell nor the pearls of Tinterbrand are accessible to ordinary merchants.

"

"Generally, in such a situation, what would an ordinary businessman choose to do?"

Li Wei humbly asked for advice.

After all, different worlds may have different ways of dealing with it. If that were the case, his proposal would seem a bit ridiculous.

Xia Lanwei Luosi said: "From what I understand, most of them will choose to send the gold to a certain mint, and then conduct transactions with the 'minting certificate' issued by the mint. The latter will take this certificate and deduct the gold."

After paying a certain amount of mintage fees and 'coin loss', you can withdraw this gold.

She thought for a while and then added: "However, the mints belong to the city lords and kings in name. If a war or disaster suddenly breaks out in a certain city-state or kingdom and needs to raise military expenditures or relief funds, these mints will

The gold in it will be 'temporarily requisitioned', so sometimes when the distance is not far and the risk is not high enough, they will also choose to pay in cash, but they will also hire a team of adventurers to act as escorts, but the risk still exists."

Having said this, Xia Lanwei Luosi turned her head to look at Li Wei, opened her big eyes, and asked with interest:

"Why did you say this? Do you think you have any better ideas? If this is true, I'm afraid all the merchants in Corel will be grateful to you."

Li Wei laughed and said: "I can't help all the merchants in Coril at the moment. At most, it can benefit a few of our local city-states."

"Oh?" Xia Lanwei Luosi pretended to be surprised, looking at Li Wei with anticipation.

Levi no longer wanted to be submissive: "So I want to set up an institution similar to the mint you mentioned before, called a bank, which specializes in accepting cash payments, handling settlements, remittances and other services."

Hearing this, Xia Lanwei Luosi was slightly disappointed.

The other party may not know yet, but this is what she was doing before she started working in Jishui City's real estate business.

The cash taken over can also be used for lending

But she didn't want to let the other party down, so she asked:

"It's a very demand-oriented idea, but as far as I know, institutions like this actually already exist, including our Jishui City. Moreover, if you want to set up a 'bank', Zeelandia can do it yourself.

Why are you looking for me?"

Li Wei's dragon tail is finally revealed:

"This involves the issue of credibility. Moreover, do you think people will believe that the gold they have saved in the dragon's treasure can be withdrawn again?"

Pfft.

"Yeah, then what can you do?"

Xia Lanwei Luosi suddenly laughed knowingly.

That's right too

She almost forgot that the other party had already revealed his identity as a dragon.

Indeed, who would choose to store their property with a dragon?

This is one of the reasons why she always chooses to hide her true identity.

Levi showed a confident smile:

"So, in order to gain people's trust and achieve seamless rigid payment between different city-states, I would like to join forces with you, Miss Ciaran Velos, Mr. and Mrs. Verama Landes of the Silver Moon Federation, and the Brilliant Lady Alustriel,

Together we established a joint-stock bank that connected the entire Northland.

"I'd like to call it:
