"Sigh, Little Ke! Copper coins are so troublesome to use. Lunch costs at least one or two strings of coins, and every time we eat, we have to bring a few strings of coins. If only the college cafeteria could use gold beans, it would save us a lot of trouble! "
Cheng Chumo could not help but say as he hugged a box of coins.
The Cheng family had made a lot of money from their partnership with Li Zexuan in the winery. Cheng Chumo now had more pocket money than before, so he could be considered a rich man. Otherwise, he would not have said something like that!
Li Ke was stunned for a moment before he laughed. "Chou Niu, if you bring gold beans to the cafeteria, even if you dare to give them, they won't dare to accept them. It would take them half a day to refund your money!"
"Hehe! Little Ke, what you said makes sense! "
Cheng Chumo thought about it and laughed embarrassedly.
Li Ke's expression did not change, but he was deep in thought. Last year, when he was an "intern" at the Warm Tang Foundation, he had mentioned to Li Zexuan that it was inconvenient to carry copper coins around. At that time, Li Zexuan encouraged him and told him that as a student of Yanhuang College, he had to solve the problem whenever he encountered a problem. If he could solve the problem of copper coins, he would start a new era and leave his name in history!
Since then, he had been thinking about this problem. Today, Cheng Chumo's random words gave him a hint of inspiration. Perhaps it could be like this …
…
For the next few days, Li Ke seemed to be possessed. Other than going to class every day, he would write and draw in a small notebook. Even during the weekends, the students would often see him in the classroom. No one was surprised by this because they all thought that Li Ke was studying hard! After all, it was the first time Li Ke had entered the top three in the final exam. He had surpassed Li Tai. If he wanted to maintain this result, he would have to work even harder!
However, the reality was completely different from what everyone thought!
On this day, Li Ke came to Li Zexuan's office.
"Yamachō, I have something to talk to you about!"
Li Ke knocked on the door and said to Li Zexuan.
"Mm! Sit down and talk! "
Li Zexuan glanced at Li Ke, especially at the booklet the child was holding. He then pointed at the sofa opposite him and smiled.
"Thank you, Yamachō!"
Li Zexuan thanked him and sat down on the sofa opposite him. Speaking of which, in the entire Tang Dynasty, only Li Zexuan could enjoy such a soft sofa.
With half of his butt on the sofa, Li Ke organized his thoughts and said, "Yamachō, I've thought of a way to solve the problem of copper coins being inconvenient to carry around!"
"Hmm? Tell me about it! "
Li Zexuan looked at Li Ke in surprise. He quickly put down the book in his hand and looked like he was all ears.
Li Ke was a little nervous, but he still mustered up his courage and said, "Yamachō, I think that to solve the problem of inconvenience to carry around, we can set up a department in the Academy to provide a copper coin exchange service for the students. In other words, the students can take the copper coins and exchange them for paper certificates of the corresponding value in the Academy. With these certificates, everyone can go to the cafeteria to eat or to the Gu family's store to buy things. Wherever the Academy uses copper coins, these certificates can be used as a replacement.
Every once in a while, like the Gu family's store, they can take the certificates and exchange them for copper coins at the Academy. This way, no one will lose money and the transaction process will be much more convenient! Yamachō … Yamachō, what do you think of this idea? "
Li Ke had been talking for a long time, but Li Zexuan still hadn't responded. Li Ke suddenly felt a little guilty and asked.
"Haha! Good! Very good! "
Li Zexuan suddenly stood up and clapped his hands as he laughed. At this moment, he only wanted to say, "Show off! Heaven show off! " What Li Ke said just now, wasn't it the prototype of banknotes or paper money? His constant guidance to this child had finally borne fruit!
"Little Ke, I am very gratified that you can think of this, but there are some problems that you need to consider first!"
Li Zexuan first affirmed Li Ke's idea, then pulled Li Ke back to reality from the clouds.
"Yamachō, what other problems do you have?"
Li Ke stared at Li Zexuan without blinking and asked.
Li Zexuan smiled and stretched out a finger, "First, you need to think of a way to make the students believe in your certificate and be willing to exchange copper coins for it. After all, they have never seen your certificate before. Why would they be willing to exchange their money for a piece of paper?
Second, once the students believe in you and are willing to exchange copper coins for the certificate, you need to think of a way to make the person who receives the certificate believe that you can exchange it for copper coins. This is because the ultimate goal of a businessman is to make money. If they can only make a few pieces of paper in the end, who would be willing to do it? You don't need to worry about the cafeteria, but as for Gu Xiaomao, I can't force him. You have to deal with it yourself.
Third, and most importantly, you need to consider whether or not someone will copy your certificate in the future and use it for profiteering! Our Yanhuang College is not big, but it's not small either. If someone forges the certificate, then the losses we will suffer cannot be underestimated! "
Li Ke listened as he wrote down all the problems that Li Zexuan mentioned in the booklet. After Li Zexuan finished speaking, he was silent for a while before he stood up and cupped his hands.
"Thank you, Yamachō, for your teachings! As for the first and second points, this student will try my best to make the students and the merchants of the College believe in this certificate. As for the third point, this student is thinking of making the design on the certificate more complicated and stamping it with Yamachō's personal seal. I'm afraid it won't be easy for others to copy it, right? "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "Who said that the seal can't be copied? But if this certificate is only used in the College, then it's not impossible! But I hope that this kind of transaction certificate can be promoted to the common people in the future! So, Little Ke, you either don't do it, or make it impeccable! Make it so that no one in the world can copy it! "
Li Ke widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Yamachō, you … you want to let the common people and merchants use this kind of certificate to trade?"
He never thought that Li Zexuan would play with such a big deal. If the common people could use his certificate, then wouldn't he be creating a new type of currency?
Thinking of this, Li Ke's breathing became a little hurried.
Seeing Li Ke's reaction, Li Zexuan smiled faintly and said, "Why not? Do you still remember what I told you two months ago? If you can solve the problem of copper coins being inconvenient to carry around, then you will create a new era and leave your name in history! If you don't let everyone use this certificate, then how can you leave your name in history? "
