Guangde Bank originated from the Guangde family of Shanxi merchant Fan. Before meeting Xiao Letian, this business was just a small business that operates daily necessities, grain, oil and miscellaneous items, and did everything but was not big in scale.

Young people nowadays are all powerful when they see Guangde Bank, but Xiao Letian is very clear about his direct descendants. When he first met Shopkeeper Fan and Hu Niu, the Fan family had already used Hu Niu to marry and get in touch with each other in the capital.

That year was a difficult period when the two brothers of the Fan family tried to restore their status as an imperial merchant. At this time, the old shopkeeper and others were reluctant to recall it.

But now Guangde has long stopped trading in daily department stores and small pawn shops. Relying on the rise of the Chinese people, Guangde has become an unprecedented commercial bank!

Guangde Bank has invested a lot in the Chinese and Qing dynasties, including loans and deposits, investment and financial management, international currency exchange, securities and futures investment... It is really all-encompassing and omnipresent!

Guangde Bank is the Fan family's industry. After a hundred years of the old shopkeeper, the entire Guangde shares will be split and inherited. One-third will be held scattered by the Fan family's nephews, and the remaining two-thirds will be owned by their daughters, which is the industry left for their grandchildren in the future.

Then everyone in the circle understands that the Guangde industry is actually the private money of the young master of the Chinese clan!

Guangde Bank's branch in Dashilan is not large in size, far inferior to Naha and Jiangnan, but it is much more grand than ordinary shops.

The nine steps ahead were all the way up. There was a huge copper door. The people in the capital thought it was copper. In fact, this was not a copper door but a door made of pure steel with a thick layer of copper plates wrapped outside.

It is extremely grand and heavy, and you can't even break the bullet!

In the usual days, the wealthy family who did not have tens of thousands of taels of silver at home would not dare to approach this gate to discuss business!

Today, in front of Li Tuo, the door was closed like a gate of hell. It would not work without knocking. There were so many eyes on the streets of Qianmen.

Li Tuo had already made up his mind and had to knock on the door and deliver the news. The court did not dare to use the strong ones so he had to notify him.

As long as I am notified, I will not have any responsibility, and the people will not even think of calling us weak.

Li Tuo walked to the gate, grabbed the door knocker and was about to knock on it, but suddenly the confinement gate opened slowly!

The heavy door seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and the two men inside struggled to retreat. Li Tuo subconsciously took two steps back. Liu Peiqi rushed up from behind, his face also very nervous.

"Oh... this is Lord Li, right? This is an old friend. Lao Liu, we haven't drunk for a long time..."

Liu Peiqi looked at it and said, "Oh... Mr. Zhang, you are here... Lord Li, let me introduce you to you. This is Zhang Xiaowen, Mr. Zhang..."

Ah! All the information in Li Tuo's memory popped up. Zhang Xiaowen was a financial genius who was assigned by the head of state. After the French-Prussian War, the kid tried to take over all the stock markets in Jiangnan.

If some left-behind old ministers left by the head of state had not stopped in time, the economy of Jiangnan might have completely collapsed that year!

It is precisely because this kid has too much ambition that he was suppressed by the head of state and has handled ordinary businesses of some local banks.

How could he be in the capital? This kid is not easy to deal with. The old wolf in the financial circle is so cruel and ruthless!

Li Tuo was so excited that he wanted to deal with this guy, but unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaowen took the initiative to speak. He smiled and said, "Mr. Li, Lord Liu... but came for gold? It doesn't matter, please come in, the vault is open..."

A group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue followed and walked into the magnificent Guangde Bank. The security doors on weekdays were also opened, and a heavy railing door opening directly leads to the deep vault.

While walking, Zhang Xiaowen smiled and said, "Both are experts, I won't be polite. The Chinese people strictly control gold. Generally speaking, they are only allowed to enter but not exit..."

"So every month, the gold on the mainland must be transported to Naha by ship, and it will not be stored too much... The rule of Guangde Bank is that the maximum limit for each semicolon gold storage is 3,000 taels, and after it exceeds it, it must be transported back to the headquarters!"

"Today, Curry stored gold in total, 2,700 taels, of which 2,100 taels are the assets of Guangde Bank, and 600 taels are the depositors' deposits... I wonder if you two adults, should you exchange them all? Or just exchange them for the assets of our bank?"

Zhang Xiaowen took the initiative and instead took over the imperial army. Li Tuo couldn't figure out the details and said tentatively, "Since this is exchange, of course, it must be exchanged all of them. Is this the reason..."

"Sir, don't need to explain to me, young people understand..." Zhang Xiaowen smiled and said, "Since this bank dares to open cross-border transactions, it must abide by the rules of various countries. If the Qing Dynasty has changed the rules, we must also abide by them!"

"Since it's all changed, let's ask someone to count and write notes to go through the procedures... Two thousand and seven hundred taels of gold are here. If you don't believe it, you can arrest us and interrogate them one by one..."

Li Tuo and the others dare to interrogate the Chinese people's industries. Not to mention torture, even if they ask louder, they will feel guilty.

"Well... this... this is actually okay to exchange half of this... I wonder what the bank is planning to exchange for?" Liu Peiqi asked carefully.

"Hahaha... Lao Liu, don't tease me, okay? The court has set ten to one, can you change the rules here? It's so bad to say it if it is spread..."

"Haha... Besides, Old God of Wealth will receive such a little favor from you? It's less than three thousand taels of gold, and you still have to remember your favor from you? Hahaha..."

The laughter became cold, and Li Tuo and the others were sweating on their backs, "Okay... Since Mr. Zhang said that, then follow the rules of the court!"

"Come, go through the procedures... carry out the gold and parade the streets... to show the people, soldiers and civilians in the capital! The Chinese banks have already supported them, what else can they say!"

Bang bang bang bang... The gong sounded again, and this time the police and yamen runners shouted louder, "The Chinese Guangde Bank exchanged 2,700 taels of gold... The imperial court rewarded..."

With the lead of Guangde, the Chinese industries near Qianmen Street opened the doors. Managers, directors, and guys opened the store doors, with calm expressions, no joy or sorrow, and peacefully invited officials of the Ministry of Revenue from the court to come in to check the accounts.

This attitude made Li Tuo and others feel furious. There was no conflict at all, and the only thing left was absolute cooperation!

"Huajia Bank... exchanged 3,900 taels of gold..."

"Mi's Group... exchanged 1,500 taels of gold..."

"Sihai Group... exchanged 1850 taels of gold..."

Liu Peiqi's face turned a little pale, and the more he looked, the more frightened he felt. He secretly whispered in Zhang Xiaowen's ear, "Old guy... I'll tell me the truth in the friendship we have worked with before..."
