There are two teahouses opposite the Bond Exchange, Zhenji and Gushu, not far from each other.

Zhenji is the leader in the teahouse business, and Gushu is a rising star, famous for its specialty tea products and alternative performances.

The major shareholder of the ancient Shu Tea House is Cao Cao, as well as Yizhou Mu Liu Biao, Zhong Chang Shi Zhao Zhong and the Cai family.

Cao Cao, who had established a firm foothold in Bajun, Hanzhong, took another step toward full-scale Yonghua transformation. He used his father Cao Song's connections to hook up with Zhao Zhong.

With the joining of Liu Biao and Zhao Zhong, Yizhou Bank and Gushu Tea House can remain invincible in the Eastern Capital.

This time, the restoration of the Western Regions and the issuance of Western Region bonds have attracted worldwide attention.

As the overlord of the southwest, Cao Cao was keenly aware that the bond exchange would be the best stage for the competition.

Bashu is a land of great abundance, how can it not be fought?

Previously, the person in charge of Dongdu was Kuai Liang from the Kuai family in Nanjun. He knew people's hearts, knew business, and was good at strategy.

Later, Liu Biao's family was restless, and his eldest son Liu Qi was sent to the Eastern Capital to "take on important responsibilities."

Although he was demoted to deputy, Kuai Liang still had to handle all matters, such as receiving distinguished guests.

Today, three distinguished guests came to the ancient Shu teahouse in the eastern suburbs: Chariot General He Miao, Xiyuan Dian Military Colonel Cao Hong, and Cao Jun Military Advisor Chen Gong.

He Miao represents the interests of the eunuchs, or Queen Mother He, so his posture is rather arrogant.

Cao Hong is Cao Cao's younger brother and the spokesperson for Bashu military interests.

Chen Gong is a top strategist with high IQ. Under the orders of Boss Cao, he directs the Bashu clan to participate in the "opening battle" of the bond exchange.

After exchanging pleasantries, the four of them took their seats.

He Miao looked around, his eyes rested on Chen Gong, and asked with a smile: "What does Military Master Chen think of this trading hall?"

The group had just come out of the tour. Since Chen Gong was the "coach", everyone looked at him.

Chen Gong glanced at the trading floor again and said slowly: "Golden mountains and silver seas..."

Everyone nodded. According to Uncle Liu Huang’s memorial and the prospects for future development, this sentence is really not an exaggeration.

Chen Gong continued: "Or it could be a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire."

The three of them thought about it for a while and felt that it made sense.

People and money die, and financial games are as dangerous as fighting in battle.

Kuai Liang asked: "What Gongtai said is true, what are our chances of winning?"

Chen Gong looked at the other party with a smile and said: "Before thinking about victory, think about defeat first. I think Yongzhou will win 90% of the time, so keeping an eye on them can ensure that they don't lose."

He Miao thought for a while and asked: "So, why did the Yongzhou system lose 10%?"

Chen Gong replied: "If the four powerful forces unite as one, Yongzhou will be defeated."

As Cao Cao's disciple, Cao Hong was very familiar with the various forces in the court and couldn't help but blurt it out.

"It is absolutely impossible to unite!"

The top four competed for customers because of the payment of money, and they often fought with each other. This was even reflected in the court, and things that undermined each other often happened.

The four major banks will not take the initiative to deal with the Yongzhou system without clearly harming themselves.

But He Miao was very dissatisfied. After all, making money is the first priority. If you don't lose...what does it matter?

"Commander Chen, you always have to win, otherwise I can afford to wait, but the province cannot wait."

Chen Gong smiled slightly and said: "General Chariot and Cavalry, Yizhou Bank is the food supply for millions of people in Bashu. Chen does not dare to be careless."

Cao Hong came forward to smooth things over, laughed, and said: "Gongtai is an old man who seeks the country. The future is long, so there is no need to fight for one day. Besides, no matter whether it is profit or loss, banks in both cities will take it all. Our small business does not matter."

He Miao glanced at Cao Hong and asked without interest: "In that case, why call me here?"

Chen Gong looked at Kuai Liang, and Kuai Liang whispered in He Miao's ear.

He Miao frowned after listening, thought for a while, and said: "I can't make the decision. I will give you news in two days."

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said, "Then we will wait for the good news."

He Miao left, and everyone escorted him outside the door.

At this time, a group of knights in splendid attire rushed directly to the entrance of the trading hall, causing a commotion in the street square.

Chen Gong frowned, he was so arrogant and domineering, he was either rich or noble.

Cao Hong glanced at them and saw that the two leaders knew each other, so he introduced them to the military advisor in a low voice.

"Dong Cheng from the Empress Dowager's family, Dong Wei, the eldest son of Liangzhou Mu."

While He Jin was dormant, Dong Zhuo couldn't write two words of "Dong" in one stroke, so he tried to flatter the Empress Dowager through Dong Cheng.

The Dong family regretted losing the Empress Dowager He, and her status was declining. How could anyone not accept Dong Zhuo's offerings of wealth?

Therefore, Yongle Palace, represented by Dong Cheng, joined the Liangzhou interest group.

Dong Cheng was dressed in fresh clothes and Dong Wei was also wearing flashy clothes. The two entered the trading hall sideways, arms crossed.

Carrying the name of the Empress Dowager, the two men stormed into the trading floor in a defiant manner.

As the Prime Minister, Jia Xu can only come forward to receive and accompany the visitors.

Climbing to the second floor, Jia Xu pointed to the "big room" and said: "There are ten VIP boxes, and there are full-time traders doing settlement at any time."

Dong Cheng's eyes lit up, he pointed to the private room in Jiazi, and said without any doubt: "We want this room."

Jia Xu reminded: "According to regulations, box customers must hold more than 100,000 bonds, and must pay ten taels of silver for each use."

Dong Wei said nonchalantly: "How much does it cost for one hundred thousand lots? Who do you look down on? We are going to make a decision!"

Jia Xu knew what kind of goods these goods were, and calmly told his subordinates: "Don't get me wrong, according to regulations, Jia must inform in advance. Box A, please register first, and keep it until half an hour after the market opens."

Dong Wei wanted to cause trouble for Jia Xu and deliberately said: "Keep it for half an hour? Are you afraid that we can't afford it? Well... I'll buy it for a hundred days!"

He took out a banknote from his pocket and handed it to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu ignored him and looked at Dong Cheng and said: "The exchange and trading floor are owned by the imperial court. As agreed by the board of directors, VIP boxes do not accept reservations. If customers need it, they can order someone to register in advance on the same day with a customer nameplate. Customers with good reputation

Receive priority."

I've already given you face. If you want to play tricks again, you'd better think about where this place is.

Dong Cheng stopped Dong Wei and said with a smile: "Follow the rules, that's good! Well, let's go and have a look on the other side."

On the curved round platform opposite, Dong Cheng pointed at the bronze bell and asked: "What's the meaning of this?"

Jia Xu introduced: "The trading floor is related to the interests of all people. Every time a bond is issued, representatives of the bond party will ring the bell in public before the market opens to announce to the world and to alert themselves."

Dong Wei's hand was weak, so when he heard this, he grabbed the small hammer next to the clock and struck it.

"Dang!", the sound of metal and iron chiming, spread far away, and could be heard clearly in almost the entire hall.

Both the staff and the tourists who came here looked at the platform above the trading window.

Jia Xu took the hammer away without leaving a trace and said: "Now, I will introduce the situation inside the trading window to you two."

Looking at the twenty trading windows and sixty trading seats, Dong Cheng asked: "How many people do you need?"

Jia Xu laughed: "Please wait and see."

After dealing with the two pony boys from the Empress Dowager's family, Jia Xu was extremely tired.

It may be a little easier when the opening ceremony of the trading floor is successfully held two days later.

At this point, the top four financial powers of the Han Dynasty have all reached the starting line.

Just waiting for the starting gun to sound on the second day of September.
Chapter completed!
