Chapter 147 Leon’s thoughts are always too advanced
Looking at the young Marquis sitting in front of him, Aaron’s thoughts are actually a little complicated.
Because his lord's ideas are often too forward-thinking, he often feels that although he is the chief steward of the Jimena family, he can never keep up with his lord's ideas that are too jumping.
For example...
what is a bank?
Why should others keep the hard-earned money in the hands of the Antolian people? !
However, after listening to his lord's extremely careful thoughts, Aaron had to express his great admiration for his lord's fantastic ideas.
In fact, to be honest, running a bank in this era sounds a little bit nonsense no matter how you say it.
In this day and age, there are not even a few free people in sight, so how can anyone go to the bank to deposit money? !
The nobles are obviously the richest group of people in the Andal Kingdom.
But isn't it bad for people to hide their money in the vault in their lord's castle? Why should you send your money to other nobles?
Putting aside the issue of safety and insecurity, if he really did this, wouldn't his old background be discovered by other nobles?
So before that, even though Leon had similar considerations in his mind, they were only fleeting and he killed unrealistic ideas like banks without hesitation.
However...
as the gold rush raged in the southern part of the Andal Kingdom, Leon saw a glimmer of possibility.
The gold reserves in the Sunken Wood Forest are extremely astonishing.
Although many people fell into the hands of the tree guards, more people actually found gold from the sunken forest.
But the problem is... they can't carry the gold they found from the sunken woods with them all the time, right?
It is definitely not safe to put it in the campground.
There are all kinds of gold diggers who come to Shenmulin to prospect for gold, and maybe one of them will consider doing some petty theft.
But if you carry it with you, then if you die in the sunken forest, wouldn't you give back all the hard-earned gold?
At this time, it is extremely important to have an institution with sufficient credit and the ability to store the wealth in the hands of gold diggers.
Perhaps if you pick out a gold digger alone, he won't have too many coins in his hand.
But if all kinds of gold diggers deposit their gold in a bank controlled by the Jimena family... then Leon will naturally receive a custody fee from it.
Yes, from beginning to end, Leon never considered the issue of interest rates.
Are you kidding me?
The Jimena family helps you keep the gold, and you actually want to reap the interest?
First, charge a storage fee according to the amount of storage!
In Antolia, where there was almost no business at all, Leon was really forced to collect money on one hand and mortgage loans on the other. Naturally, he had to make up some profits from the gold diggers.
What's more...
if Leon gives interest, maybe the gold diggers who originally wanted to save money will not dare to save!
Think about it, a nobleman who eats people without spitting out their bones.
Helping you keep your money and sending money to you from time to time... Who the hell would dare to believe such a good thing?
Therefore, this is not at all because of Leon's greed. He really just wants to shoulder his responsibility as the lord of Antolia and do some trivial good deeds for the adventurers who go to the Sunken Wood Forest to pan for gold.
He is so great!
So...
under Leon's numerous instructions, in the township-level CBD where most of the bakeries, vendors, taverns and hotels in the Thorn Territory gathered, a "financial" institution named Antolia Union Bank , finally officially launched!
"...Can I save money here?"
When Emre Cohen walked into this store along the street with full of doubts, he looked around with a little uneasiness and asked with some uncertainty.
As a group of crab eaters in the southern part of the kingdom, although Emre was just a little miscellaneous fish who was kicked out by the mercenaries in the north. But it seems that he put all his luck into gold mining.
In just half a month, he managed to obtain wealth worth more than 30 Escudo gold coins from the threat of the tree guards in the Sunken Wood Forest!
When he found his first piece of gold, Emre Cohen was filled with excitement.
When he found the third piece of gold, Emre Cohen's heart was burning.
But...
when the value of the gold he accumulated in the sunken forest gradually exceeded thirty gold escudo coins...
he only felt a faint hint of worry.
Thefts occurred frequently in the camp.
Although sometimes the petty thieves can be caught, more often they cannot be caught at all!
With such a large amount of wealth, but he can only carry it with him for safety reasons, one can imagine how Emre Cohen feels.
So...
when he came to the land of Antolia and planned to purchase some brand new shovels, the signboard of the Antolia Bank that had just been hung up immediately caught Emre's attention.
He doesn't know what a bank is.
But he could at least understand the billboard placed at the door of the bank - "Antolia Bank, your private vault!"
And behind the billboard, there was even the Jimena family's emblem!
Private vault!
That's exactly what Emre Cohen needs right now!
It was precisely because of this that Emre Cohen nervously walked into this bank that had obviously just opened.
I have to say that when you step into the door of this bank, the interior decoration is extremely... unique.
Although not a single candle can be seen in the hall, the fluorescent grass potted plants planted in flower pots bring bright light to the visitor hall.
The big eyes of the tall strange bird are set up in the center of the hall, as if it can see through the purpose and appeal of the visitors with just one glance.
Faced with Emre's question, the bank clerk who had received simple training immediately gave a positive answer:
"Of course!"
"But depending on the amount of wealth you store, we will charge a certain share of custody fees. ."
Emre paused for a moment and said hesitantly:
"If I want to deposit thirty gold Escudo coins..."
"Fifty Andal silver coins."
The bank clerk showed a professional expression. He smiled and gave the standard answer: "Fifty Andal silver coins. This is the fee required to keep it for one year. During this period, you can withdraw it at any time."
"Can...safety be guaranteed?"
Emre asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Of course!"
The bank clerk pointed to the Jimena family emblem engraved on the door with great confidence:
"The tough mercenaries from Antolia will defend your wealth to the death!" They
