My father is Jiajing

Chapter 395 Is everyone right?
Zhu Zaiqi smiled as he sat in the main seat and looked at the bank managers present. Zhu Zaiqi smiled and said, "Today I am here to discuss business with you all, so please don't be nervous and relax a little."

No one dared to look Zhu Zaigui in the eye, for fear that if they looked up they would become the first to stand out.

Zhu Zaigui looked at the reactions of the crowd and understood their concerns.

After all, his identity is there, and he is the extremely sensitive prince regent. To people like them, Zhu Zaigui is like a god in the clouds. How could he be someone that mortals like them can look up to?
So everyone’s nervousness at this time is understandable.

But Zhu Zaigui also knew that these people were not ordinary ignorant people. They were just not mentally prepared for the time being, otherwise they would not be like this.

You have to know that although the shopkeepers and managers of these silver banks are lowly merchants, there are many bigwigs who have dealings with them, and they all have some experience in certain situations.

Therefore, Zhu Zaigui was not worried about the current mentality of these people.

Zhu Zaigui said to Gao Gong: "Mr. Gao, please make some arrangements. How come such a large Beijing Special District Development Bank doesn't have any hospitality? It's time to serve everyone a cup of good tea."

After hearing Zhu Zaigui's instructions, Gao Gong immediately arranged for someone to prepare tea.

After the tea was served, Zhu Zaigui gestured to distribute the tea to everyone.

Then Zhu Zaigui picked up a cup of tea, blew away the tea foam, tasted it carefully, and praised: "Good tea, but it's not as fragrant as Qian's Rain-previous Longjing."

When Qian Qiben heard Zhu Zaigui call out his name, he quickly turned around and said nervously, "If Your Majesty likes it, I will send it to your residence right away."

Zhu Zaigui waved his hand and said, "A gentleman should not take away what others love. There are many good teas in my palace, and Longjing is not lacking. I appreciate the kindness of Shopkeeper Qian. Shopkeeper Qian, please sit down."

Qian Qiben sat down nervously again.

At this time, Zhu Zaigui said again: "In fact, when it comes to tea, I have only a superficial understanding of this subject, and I just follow what others say. For example, the Longjing before the Rain that I just praised, in fact, I can't tell which is better, Longjing before the Rain or the cup of tea I am drinking now."

"But because Rain Dragon Well is so famous and liked by scholars and writers, I also made up a story and thought that Rain Dragon Well is a rare and good tea. So, please don't be offended."

After Zhu Zaigui's light-hearted topic, everyone in the conference room felt a lot more relaxed. They felt that the prince in front of them was not so unattainable, and could even say a few soothing and homely words.

This couldn't help but relax everyone's tension a lot.

Seeing everyone's relaxed expressions, Zhu Zaigui continued with the original topic.

Zhu Zaigui said: "In fact, Longjing before the Rain is so famous that many people who have never drunk it can praise it and yearn for it. I think this is a kind of brand effect. If we can make a local brand well known to everyone, then think about how much wealth this can bring?"

Zhu Zaigui's words immediately attracted everyone. In the past, they had never thought about the problem in this way. Although they also knew the importance of signs, this explanation of the "brand effect" was the first time they heard it and they found it very novel.

At the same time, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng could not help but concentrate, feeling that their prince seemed to have some wonderful ideas. Zhu Zai looked at Qian Qiben, who had just been named, and said, "The salt merchant bank that Manager Qian is in charge of in the capital can make money all over the world. Whether in Jiangnan or in the capital, it can have bank business. In fact, this is also a kind of brand effect."

"If the Salt Merchant Bank had not achieved the reputation of immediate payment and fair dealing in the Jiangnan region, then I think even if the boss behind Manager Qian was very powerful, it would be impossible for him to bring business to the capital so easily and make the people in the capital recognize your banknotes."

"So, what I want to say is that since we are in business, we should talk about credibility and interests. The establishment of the Beijing Special Economic Zone and the establishment of the Beijing Special Economic Zone Development Bank are actually based on the business reputation and promise of being honest and trustworthy."

"Now that I am sitting here, I am actually representing the Special Zone, which is the Beijing Special Zone Development Bank where we are sitting. Therefore, every word I say represents the credibility of the Special Zone and the credibility of the Beijing Special Zone Development Bank."

"So, I ask everyone present here not to be nervous about my identity and just treat me as a businessman."

After Zhu Zaigui said this, the expressions of the people present became more serious.

They were all thinking about Zhu Zaigui's words, and at the same time, they were also thinking about the credibility and reputation of the Beijing Special Economic Zone and the Beijing Special Economic Zone Development Bank over the past year.

After thinking about this, everyone's worries were alleviated a little.

Because over the past year or so, almost everything they promised, whether it was the Special Administrative Region Government or now the Beijing Special Administrative Region Development Bank, has been fulfilled without compromise.

Therefore, after having this foundation of credibility, they were not as nervous and uneasy as before when listening to Zhu Zaigui's words.

Seeing that everyone had relaxed again, Zhu Zaigui felt that he had laid most of the groundwork.

So, I’m not going to waste any more time talking.

Zhu Zaigui said, "I asked Mr. Gao to invite you all here today, in order to discuss a win-win deal with you all. What do you think?"

As soon as Zhu Zaigui finished speaking, Qian Qiben, who had been named by Zhu Zaigui, also boldly asked on behalf of everyone: "Your Majesty, what kind of business do you want to discuss?"

Zhu Zaigui looked at Qian Qiben and said, "Manager Qian asked a good question. The first deal I want to discuss is the 'Union'!"

When Zhu Zaigui said this, everyone present was a little confused, and for a moment they didn't understand what Zhu Zaigui meant.

Even Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, who were sitting on both sides of Zhu Zaigui, had never heard of the word "federal reserve".

Zhu Zaiqi continued to introduce: "Lianchu, as the name suggests, means joint savings. But everyone has their own business, and each has their own rules and banknotes. So if we want to promote the Lianchu, we should form an industry organization and then formulate corresponding industry rules. In the future, we will do business under this new rule framework, and no one can engage in vicious competition. This is the win-win situation we need."

After saying this, Zhu Zaiqi looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you think this is right?"
