girl, you're wrong

Chapter 485 Xi's visit: Xiao Xiao Jingkou is so terrifying

Xi Daohui took his son Xi Chongxi, as well as his staff and entourage, disguised as the original businessmen in the north, and arrived in Jingkou Town secretly.

The reason for acting in secret is of course to observe the actual situation in Jingkou Town more realistically.

Otherwise, the other party was notified in advance, and then Jingkou arranged for people to welcome them along the way and accompany them all the way... That was watching a show, not an investigation.

"Jingkou..." Xi Daohui came out of the ground network pipe, and he couldn't help being slightly startled when he saw the bustling scene outside.

Seeing the population density here with your own eyes is completely different from seeing it from second-hand images and documents.

You must know that Xi Daohui has traveled almost all the refugee settlements in Xuzhou, even the border of Qingzhou in the north, and he has also walked through many underground forts.

To judge the prosperity of a place, just look at the people on the road.

The worst case, of course, is that there are no pedestrians on the road, and even if there are, they walk slowly. This shows that the food here is extremely tight, and most people can't eat enough, so they have to do as little activity as possible to reduce physical consumption.

Many of the small and medium-sized docks in the northern Central Plains lingered like this, and finally starved to death without support.

The second point is that most pedestrians look numb, wandering on the street doing nothing, and staring at you when they see a strange face from outside.In many places, there are even wandering warblers who will rush up to attract customers, of course, they are also poor in appearance.

This shows that they can barely guarantee survival here, but that's all, so many people hang around outside to see if they can make a little money, such as leading the way for foreign businessmen, or stealing and robbing.

In economics, this situation is called "high unemployment rate", and it is usually a source of social unrest.

However, on the side of Jingkou, the pedestrians are not only dense but also mostly in a hurry, which shows that these people basically have jobs.

Although the expression is still numb, at least there is no emptiness in the eyes - who can not be numb at work?It's better than being unemployed.

"Huh?" Xi Chongxi who was next to him also laughed, "It's strange, father. I don't remember how long this Jingkou Town has developed. How come there are so many people?"

He looked around again, smacking his lips, and said in surprise: "And seeing that we have so many men from other places, it's also strange that no pimp has come to solicit business until now."

"Chongxi." Xi Daohui said with a frown.

"It's just talking, of course I never go." Xi Chongxi quickly clarified, and suddenly laughed again, "Father, look, isn't this here?"

Following his gaze, everyone saw a well-dressed middle-aged man hurrying over from across the street.Noticing that the people on his side were looking at him, a smile spread across his face.

They couldn't be more familiar with such a person.

Targeting foreign men is because they know that they are tired from traveling and need to release stress; smiling all over their faces is to show that they are not malicious; well-dressed is to reduce customers' concerns about the quality of ladies.

Typical pimp look.

"Hello, everyone." When he came to the crowd, the middle-aged man said with a smile, "Are you here to emigrate, or to run a business? Do you need to stay in a hotel first? The young one has lived in Jingkou for two years. To tell you the truth, yes Jingkou’s black and white, ground and underground, have basically dealt with a lot, which should save everyone’s time.”

Heh, it's not a pimp, but a tour guide... Xi Chongxi was a little disappointed, and asked directly:
"Why doesn't your place introduce skin and meat business?"

"Cough, don't ask!" The middle-aged man looked around immediately, and then said seriously, "The above is cracking down hard!"

Crowd: ………………

So the Beifu army has been idle like this?

"Strike hard?" Xi Chongxi said with a smile, "You don't have any shortage of food? The public security problem has been solved? Are you so free that you start to grasp the spirit of society?"

"Hehe, almost." The middle-aged man waved his hand with a smile, and was about to turn around, obviously suspicious - this group of people refused to say what they were here for, and kept asking questions, I'm afraid it's not Come and entertain me...

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xi Daohui hurriedly called him to a halt, and casually took out some broken silver:
"Sorry, we're just curious. You can take us to the hotel first."

Seeing that the other party was willing to hire him, the middle-aged man laughed again, took the money and said:
"Okay! Guest officers are from the north? I suggest going to the bank to change the silver into banknotes. Banknotes can also be used here. Shopping with silver will always be entangled in fineness and purity. It is very troublesome to trade."

"You still have a bank here?" Xi Chongxi was amazed.

In northern Xuzhou, Qingzhou and other areas, it is basically popular to use precious metals to pay bills. The reason is that the refugees in the north have left Wanghua all the year round.

Of course, if southern merchants brought banknotes to do business, there were black market folks who accepted cash as payment...but that was the black market!The significance of the bank's existence is far from being comparable to that of the black market.

"Yes." The middle-aged man smiled proudly, "Our Jingkou Town is not an ordinary refugee settlement. Even Dajin Technology Bank and Dajin Royal Bank have branches here."

Xi Daohui raised his eyebrows, met his son Xi Chongxi's eyes, and his mood sank slightly.

Dajin Technology Bank and Dajin Royal Bank are currently the largest and second largest commercial banks.

The latter is the property of the Sima clan. As long as the local economy flourishes to a certain extent and is profitable, they will basically come to open branches.With the current level of development of Jingkou, it is not surprising.

The former is Qinghe Cui's industry. Except for some wealthy business consortiums, they basically only serve families of the fifth rank or above, so it is almost impossible to start business in refugee settlements—how many families can there be among the refugees?
"Dajin Science and Technology Bank?" Xi Chongxi pretended not to believe it, and laughed, "Isn't that the property of the five surnames? We doglegs can step in and exchange money?"

"Cough, of course not." The middle-aged man waved his hand, "But our Jingkou town's Jie Shuai said that as long as you come to Jingkou to set up a factory to invest, you can apply for investment preferential projects at the God Capital Cheng. As long as the approval If passed, the Cheng family will guarantee you at the technology bank in the name of the family, but due diligence and follow-up supervision will be more troublesome."

"If you are in a hurry to make a loan, you can go to the Royal Bank. The procedure is faster, but the interest may be more expensive."

"Of course we know about the Royal Bank." Xi Daohui asked with a frown, "This technology bank, will you accept the guarantee of Cheng, the capital of God?"

"Hahahaha." The middle-aged man laughed, showing some gossip and teasing expression, winked and said, "This guest officer doesn't know. Our Jingkou Town's Marshal Jie is actually the son-in-law of the Qinghe Cui family who has never been married! "

"This son-in-law borrowed money from the old man, can the old man deny it? Even if he borrowed 8000 million, he only got back 2000 million in the end, and the remaining [-] million was used as the dowry of Cui's daughter. How could the Cui family of Qinghe be so rude?" Stingy? I'm afraid I'll make everyone laugh to death."

His language was vulgar, and his knowledge was quite short, which made Xi Daohui slightly disgusted.

First of all, how can the son-in-law "pass the door"?It's not the son-in-law who joined the Cui family!The Cheng family, the capital of the gods, was not down to the point of asking the patriarch to marry him.

Secondly, how could the Cui family of Qinghe be exempted from bad debts in this area because of their in-law relationship?

However, although the other party's statement seemed outrageous at first glance, Xi Daohui couldn't think of a more reasonable explanation for a while.

Set up a branch in Jingkou Town, and allowed the Cheng family to guarantee it. All the signs revealed a signal, that is, the Qinghe Cui family spared no effort to support the development of Jingkou.

With the massive injection of capital, there will be prosperity of commerce and production activities, and the social labor force can be fully mobilized, thereby effectively reducing the unemployment rate and improving social security and stability.

As a refugee settlement, Jingkou Town has developed far more than other refugee camps in the same period, and the reason is self-evident.

However, Qinghe Cui... wait!
Xi Daohui suddenly realized another problem.

As one of the five surname families, the Qinghe Cui family would never allow common people to spread rumors about Cui's daughter, nor would the Cheng family, the capital of the gods, allow such rumors to appear under their rule.

And this local tour guide dared to say in broad daylight that the Cheng family in the capital of God is going to marry the Qinghe Cui family, that is to say...

Could it be that the two companies deliberately released this news in advance and tacitly allowed the outside world to spread it?
Are the two really going to get married?Then Cheng Jinyang could really marry Cui's daughter? ! !
