In March, Du Qi was even more carefree.
In Yanmen City, Daizhou, Du Qi's tea shop, restaurant, and bookstore had all been launched. The tea shop and bookstore were the easiest to replicate, because after the shops were built, Chang 'an would be responsible for delivering the goods.
On the contrary, the restaurant needed to be trained again to operate the restaurant. However, it was also popular.
The most popular was actually the bookstore.
Books such as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Investiture of the Gods had been available in the Northern Region for a long time, but there were no real bookstores around Yanmen City. Only some people read the books, so many people knew about them, but in fact, there was no complete set.
The Xinhua Bookstore opened, and everything was ready. Books were sent in continuously, and there were even daily newspapers of the Tang dynasty. Therefore, the bookstore became a place where countless scholars and many people patronized.
Although the tea shop was not as good, it was also opened.
The existence of the tea shop made it easier for the merchants in the Northern Region to buy tea. After all, many people in the Northern Turkic Region needed tea in large quantities, so the tea business was opened.
The operation of the three major systems caused Du Qi's pockets to swell rapidly. Thus, he was able to provide more supplies to the army. Because of Du Qi's help, the first thing that the army improved was the food. It was no longer meat soup, but real meat.
Du Qi was not satisfied with that.
He hoped to improve the military even more, but this was not something that could be done in a day or two.
He needed to take it slowly.
As for Du Qi, he also wanted to do more business. Du Qi even wanted to set up a bank. It was just that he didn't have the conditions to do so yet.
What Du Qi wanted to do most was to set up a bank.
A bank was a good business.
It was the prototype of a bank.
The most important thing was that once there was a bank, Du Qi would have cash flow. Du Qi was not a reckless person. He could not be careless about a bank. Du Qi went to the study where Du Ruhui was. After seeing Du Ruhui, he told him about his plan to set up a bank.
Du Qi said, "Father, I want to run a bank. What do you think?"
Du Ruhui was silent when he heard that.
For the time being, they did not express their stance.
Du Qi didn't disturb him and just watched quietly from the side.
After a long while, Du Ruhui said, "Erlang, in principle, Father won't stop you if you want to open a bank. After all, you have enough money, enough money. And with money, you can do many things. "
"I think that there is a certain amount of risk in opening a bank."
"Firstly, although you have a certain reputation, your reputation is not big enough. Secondly, all the members of the Wang Clan in Daizhou had been dealt with, but the Wang Clan would not let the matter rest. As long as the bank is established, the Wang family will definitely target your bank. "
"I suggest you slow down for the time being."
"Every day that passes in Daizhou is another day of change."
Du Ruhui said, "In at most three months, the changes in Daizhou will be even more obvious. At that time, I will be in charge of Daizhou and it will be even more stable. Even if the Wang Clan makes a move, I will be able to block them for you. "
Du Qi said, "Father, this is actually not a problem."
Du Ruhui said, "What do you mean?"
Du Qi said, "Although my reputation isn't enough, my influence is also somewhat lacking. Most importantly, if the Wang Clan makes a move, I can use the Wang Clan's matter to ruthlessly take advantage of them. In terms of understanding of banks, I'm afraid I'm more proficient than they are. "
His eyes flickered with the light of farsightedness.
Du Qi was becoming more and more handsome by the day.
Purely from his figure, one couldn't tell that he was a youth of thirteen or fourteen. On the contrary, he looked more like a youth of seventeen or eighteen. This kind of Du Qi had shed his immaturity and couldn't be underestimated.
Du Ruhui said, "Since you're confident, go ahead and do it. Father will do his best to make things convenient for you. But if it involves breaking the law or abusing power for personal gain, that's impossible. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Father, it's impossible for me to let you abuse your power for personal gain. Using Father's future as a wager isn't worth it. "
Du Ruhui said, "Do as you see fit."
Du Qi said, "Father, your son will take his leave."
Immediately, Du Qi left Du Ruhui's study. Returning to the study, he began to draft the details of establishing a bank. In truth, compared to a bank, a bank was much simpler. The main thing was to exchange notes for money.
Of course, there were also depositing money in exchange for interest. There were also people who pledged goods from the bank to borrow money.
These were the main functions.
It didn't involve printing money.
If it didn't involve printing money, then the bank was very simple. But it could be said to be simple. In reality, there were many details to pay attention to. In such a place where money was important, if anything happened, it could have a huge impact.
It could even be an irreparable loss.
One had to be extremely careful.
Du Qi now had some trustworthy people by his side. But when it came to a bank, simply selecting talents from Daizhou would take a long time to nurture. Therefore, Du Qi wrote a letter and arranged for it to be sent back to Chang 'an to Jin Wuque. He had Jin Wuque hand over the matters of the restaurant and head north to Daizhou.
Jin Wuque's responsibilities would be transferred to Cai Youde. Cai Youde would be in charge of the situation in Chang 'an.
If Jin Wuque went north, An Ying would also go north.
To Du Qi, this was a good thing.
After Du Qi arranged everything, he wrote the rules for establishing a bank. At the same time, he searched his mind for skills to learn some things about banking. He had to understand more and be prepared.
Du Qi had always done things this way.
If he wanted to do something, he had to do it well.
He had to give it his all.
Du Qi was busy. Time passed day by day. In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of April. The weather was getting hotter. Jin Wuque from Chang 'an had already arrived at Daizhou's Gate of Yan.
When Jin Wuque saw Du Qi, he bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master!"
Du Qi asked Jin Wuque to sit down. He said directly, "I have already explained the general direction of transferring you from Chang 'an to Gate of Yan. With our strength, we already have the possibility of opening a bank. What do you think about this matter? "
Jin Wuque said, "Since Young Master has arranged it, I will carry it out. However, opening a bank is very risky. If anything goes wrong, it will cause a huge loss. Young Master, I am still worried that it will not be done well. "
Du Qi said, "Speaking of money, I have a lot of money. I am not afraid of losing money. Moreover, I will give you a detailed operation plan for the bank. With this business plan, all you need to do is follow the script. When you get familiar with it, you will have your own understanding and understanding. You will know how to operate it. "
Jin Wuque said, "With Young Master's words, I am relieved."
Du Qi said, "I believe in you. In short, I will support you. Just do it boldly."
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque nodded and replied.
"Bang! Bang! "
Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Liu Jian's voice sounded, "Young Master, Old Master invites you to the study. There is an urgent matter. Please go quickly."
"Got it."
Du Qi frowned.
Du Ruhui had always been the kind of person who would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him. For Du Ruhui to act like this, something big must have happened. He looked at Jin Wuque and said, "Old Jin, wait in the study for now. When I return, we will discuss it."
"I have a book here. It is about setting up a bank and some of the operations of the bank."
"Take a look first."
"When I return, we will discuss it in detail."
After Du Ruhui made arrangements for Jin Wuque, he turned and left. He went to Du Ruhui's study.
Du Qi was also puzzled.
What exactly had happened? Du Ruhui seemed to have lost his sense of propriety.
