Chapter 484: Collusion, insidious match (Part 1)
Su Cha and Lin Chujiu had been thinking about opening the bank for a long time. The plan they had discussed was far more than what was written in the report. But of course, this doesn’t mean that they were fooling them, but more like preventive measures.
The tension between Xiao Tianyao and the Emperor was so tense. Lin Chujiu and Su Cha know this better than anyone else. They would rather take more trouble more and take the initiative in their hands.
Moreover, it’s only right for Lin Chujiu and Su Cha to be on guard. After all, didn’t the Emperor and Prince Xiao Zian made calculations on them?
If it weren’t for that 30 million in their hand, or if Lin Chujiu didn’t take the initiative, the Emperor and Prince would have eaten Su Cha up to the bones. Su Cha will end up like just the crown prince, he could only get his part and nothing else.
Losing the right to manage the bank was not Su Cha wants to see. For the right to manage, he gave 40% of profit to the palace court. Didn’t he sacrifice more than enough?
The Emperor and Prince Xiao Zian deliberately dragged things for a few days. Not only to put pressure on Su Cha but also because they arranged people to set up a template for engraving silver tickets.
It’s just that, it wasn’t easy to make a copy of silver tickets. At least, these given days are not enough.
Three days, only three days!
Although they can also refuse to let Lin Chujiu pay the compensation money before the bank opening, but… …
The emperor and Prince Xiao Zian knew very well that this was a plan set up by Xiao Wangfu. They made it clear that they have the right to operate the bank from the beginning, and they will not let it go.
The Emperor and Prince Xiao Zian thought that this bank matter was just to blind the Central Empire from seeing Xiao Tianyao. And so they didn’t think too much, and just agree to Su Cha.
Although Su Cha has been waiting at home for a few days and he didn’t do anything much. The shop and the silver tickets were ready. Even the storehouse where the silver tickets will be stored has been prepared, and can be used anytime after the construction is finished.
Seeing that Su Cha had arranged everything early on, Prince Xiao Zian couldn’t help but secretly praise Su Cha for being so courageous.
Even before the matter gets clear, all the preparation needed was done. Su Cha made a gamble, but he won.
Su Cha and Lin Chujiu were absolutely “colluding”. As soon as Su Cha sent the news to Lin Chujiu, she asked Housekeeper Cao to announce that the schedule of compensation for the price hike has been verified. They should bring the information sheet they answered before and went to collect the money.
As soon as this news came out, the whole capital turned upside down. The people who could get the compensation money were all happy and rejoicing. As for the people of the Imperial Zhang Family, they were all mad, but they also know getting angry was useless. Lin Chujiu let her people shut them up, and just bring them food and drinks every day, but there was no freedom at all.
The people of Futian Bank were also very happy. Lin Chujiu has so many silvers. Those people who will get those silvers will want to save that money, right?
As long as someone deposit money in their bank, they don’t need to worry about anything else.
Unfortunately, their rich idea was far from reality… …

On the day the silvers will be issued, people start falling in line early in the morning. Even the people who had no silver to collect join in the excitement. These people thought they would see a mountain of silvers. However, they waited for a long time, but didn’t even a silver ingot.
“What’s going on?” The people waiting in line and people watching the excitement started discussing. When the time set by Xiao Wangfu arrived, they saw Xiao Wangfu’s guardsmen came carrying a basket of copper coins.
“It’s all copper coins. What is going on here?”
“Copper coins? How are we going to take it back home?” People who will get compensation was dumbfounded. However, they didn’t dare to say bad things about Xiao Wangfu.
The next moment, the housekeeper of Xiao Wangfu stood in front of the crowd, holding an ancient version loudspeaker and said: “To ensure the safety of the people, our Wangfei deposited the money in the bank in advance. People who will get more than 1 silver coin will be given a silver ticket, and people who will get less than 1 silver coin will be given copper coins.”
