The Royal Bank of Western Qin has many branches in the Tang Dynasty, Western Qin, the Eastern Roman Empire, Italy and other places.
It has a good reputation and only charges a small deposit.
After all, it is guaranteed by the official reputation of the Western Qin State.
Even if it is Businessmen and residents in Italy, which was farther away than the Eastern Roman Empire, trusted this gold bank.
In this era, there was not even a shadow of the Western financial industry, let alone a bud.
Coins were minted by the government.
There were no institutions similar to modern banks, whether private or official.
It was not until the end of the Middle Ages that modern financial and commercial institutions similar to banks appeared in Italy.
And this time period will take at least another eight hundred years.
However, there are some money dealers among the people in the Eastern Roman Empire.
Their main business is currency exchange.
They are engaged in the exchange of gold coins, silver coins and copper coins of the country, as well as the exchange of domestic coins with foreign coins, etc.
The main income is earned by charging a certain amount. handling fee.
Of course, the business of the Western Qin Royal Gold Bank also includes currency exchange.
This is just a side business.
The main business is the storage and lending of coins.
The storage business is not uncommon in Western Qin and the Tang Dynasty.
Private banks and gold banks all over the country have this business. type of business, but the money lending business is still the exclusive special service of Royal Gold Bank, mainly because Royal Gold Bank has the entire country as its backer, and no one dares to owe money without repaying it.
If a private gold bank engages in this business, it still has to worry about loans.
An irrecoverable situation occurs.
The large-amount cashier's checks issued by the Royal Gold Bank of Western Qin are mainly used for large-scale transactions by some large chambers of commerce, commercial banks, and caravans.
Since both parties to the transaction cannot fully trust each other, the Royal Gold Bank serves as an intermediary platform and issues large-amount cashier's checks here.
A cashier's check for the amount is recognized and trusted by both parties to the transaction.
In addition, large-denomination cashier's checks are also used by local official tax bureaus to pay taxes, and the state distributes military pay to the army, etc.
The nobles of Constantinople all know about the promissory note of the Royal Gold Bank.
This kind of gold note is generally not circulated in the market and is only used for large-scale transactions between merchants.
However, no one doubts its credibility.
Many nobles and wealthy businessmen We all have such gold tickets in our hands, with face values ranging from one hundred gold dollars to ten thousand gold dollars.
The largest gold ticket has a face value of one hundred thousand gold dollars.
In addition, in order to expand business here, the Constantinople Branch also specially produced and issued gold coin promissory notes based on the gold coins of the Eastern Roman Empire.
The minimum gold coin promissory note was one hundred gold coins, and the maximum face value was ten thousand.
However, not many nobles have seen Western Qin gold and dollar promissory notes, but merchants are different.
Merchants in Constantinople often trade with Western Qin caravans and often see gold and dollar promissory notes.
People like Zhao Ziliang carry them with them.
It is rare to see someone carrying a promissory note of 10,000 gold dollars.
The purchasing power of gold dollars is stronger than the gold coins of the Eastern Roman Empire.
Even if a caravan travels from Western Qin to Constantinople, the value of all the goods will not be certain.
Worth the money.
All the ordinary guests in the hall and the distinguished guests in the VIP room now knew that VIP No. 13 came from the Western Qin Kingdom and was most likely the leader of a Western Qin caravan.
Only such a person would carry such a large denomination of gold with him.
Yuan promissory note.
The person in charge of a Western Qin caravan may not have much power, and his social status is not too high, but behind him is the huge Western Qin Kingdom.
Who dares to attack a caravan from the Western Qin in Constantinople?
Damn, the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty in Constantinople would definitely not sit down Ignoring it, things will not end well if it comes to the emperor.
Therefore, the No. 1 VIP, Sexta, General Andrew, and all other guests knew that they wanted to buy this princess of the Kuthur tribe of the Avar Khanate.

You can only compare your financial resources with the other party.
Kulikus said immediately: "Okay, since the distinguished guest No. 13 is from the Western Qin Kingdom and can prove his financial resources by presenting a gold bank cashier's check issued by the Western Qin Royal Gold Bank on the spot, then please ask Steward Luo Ruide to bring someone to check.
The authenticity of gold cashier’s checks” All the guests were staring at VIP Room No. 13.
Luo Ruide quickly appeared in VIP Room No. 13 with someone, "Manager Liao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I believe you have the financial resources to compete with these gentlemen.
I also It’s just a formality to bring people along.”
Liao Zhengkai had long seen the gold cashier's check that Zhang Huchen had taken out, and he had already determined Zhao Ziliang's identity.
He no longer dared to speak to Zhao Ziliang without any scruples.
After hearing Luo Ruide's words, he immediately looked at Zhao Ziliang with his eyes. , but Zhao Ziliang didn't look at him and just drank wine.
Liao Zhengkai reacted and immediately nodded calmly: "It doesn't matter.
It's reasonable for your Moulin Rouge to do this.
So now let's ask Manager Luo Reid to check the authenticity of the cashier's check."
Luo Ruide immediately pointed to one of his men to check.
The gold cashier's check in Zhang Huchen's hand was quickly verified to be genuine, and the guests in the hall started talking.
"Now we have a good show.
A promissory note of 10,000 gold dollars can be exchanged for 30,000 gold coins.
This means that this Western Qin businessman can bid at least 30,000 gold coins.
But can Viscount Sexta and General Andrew offer it?
It’s hard to tell when the price is so high.”
The various discussions off the stage did not affect Kulikus.
He said loudly: "Dear guests and distinguished guests, after inspection, the 10,000 gold yuan promissory note of distinguished guest No. 13 from Western Qin is genuine.
So now The three bidding customers No. 1, No. 2 and No. 13 all have a credit limit of 30,000 gold coins for the time being.
If the price is higher than 30,000 gold coins, then the three customers will either provide proof of more money on the spot, or pay a fixed amount of property.
You must make a mortgage to continue participating in the bidding.”
"Okay, distinguished guest No. 13 just offered 10,000 gold coins.
Lord Viscount Sexta and General Andrew, I wonder if you two offered a higher price."
Now that his identity has been revealed, Andrew no longer hides it.
He goes directly to the window and pulls it up so that the entire hall and other guests in the VIP room can see him.
Andrew held a glass full of wine and said, "Eleven thousand gold coins."
Kuricus said loudly: "Okay, General Andrew bids 11,000 gold coins, then Viscount Sexta and VIP No. 13, do you want to pay a higher price?"
"Humph, General Andrew, you don't think you can buy this princess of the Avar Khanate for 11,000 gold coins.
I'll pay 12,000 gold coins," Viscount Sexta shouted.
Kuricus smiled and said: "Sir, Viscount Sexta, bids 12,000 gold coins.
I wonder if distinguished guest No. 13 bids higher?
If not, then we have no choice but to withdraw."
After hearing the waiter's translation, Zhao Ziliang looked at Bart, pointed at him and said, "Go tell them, twenty thousand."
Bart walked to the window and loudly said in Greek: "My master said that the arrangement of No. 1 Viscount and No. 2 General An is too small.
An increase of one thousand, one thousand is really not interesting.
My master said The bid is 20,000.
If you really have the financial resources, you'd better increase the price in units of 10,000, otherwise it's better to withdraw to avoid humiliating yourself."
Bart used to be a slave first to the Eastern Romans and then to the Arabs.
He not only speaks Arabic, but also Greek.
Now he has also learned to speak Chinese, and everyone can understand him.
"Hiss" The guests and other distinguished guests in the hall couldn't help but gasped when they stopped saying this.
The price was increased by 10,000 yuan.

This was a fierce battle, and I was afraid that if they really had the financial resources, as for other things, It's hard to say whether the two of them dare to continue fighting like this.
Sexta in the VIP Room No. 1 jumped up in anger at Bart's words and roared loudly: "What a big tone.
You dare to say that our layout is too small.
You have to increase the price by tens of thousands, right?
Okay, I'll bid three If you dare, just follow.”
Kuricus couldn't be more excited.
He has supported auctions at the Moulin Rouge for so many years, and has never encountered a situation like this today, and has never had such a large amount of bidding.
If this auction is successful, it will also be a great achievement for him.
He immediately shouted: "Okay, Lord Viscount Sexta bids 30,000 gold coins.
General Andrew, VIP No. 13, I don't know if you two offer a higher price.
If you want to continue to participate in the bidding, you must show more Proof of money, or use your own property as collateral.”
Zhao Ziliang shook his head to Zhang Huchen.
Zhang Huchen walked to the window and took out two more gold cashier's checks.
Bart immediately said: "My master once again issued two Western Qin Royal Gold Bank's cashier's checks, with a face value of 10,000 gold yuan.
Moulin Rouge can Continue to send people to check the authenticity.
Now we have a credit limit of 60,000 gold coins.
My master has spoken.
If the other two cannot come up with more than 100,000 gold coins, they should get out of here."
Sexta became even more furious after hearing this, and immediately shouted: "Okay, okay, you actually don't take me, Viscount Sexta, seriously.
You, a Western Qin businessman, really think that you are so rich that you can rival the country.
I just offered you a hundred thousand yuan."
Wan, is there anyone higher than me?
If not, get out of here, hahaha."
Everyone in the hall had their mouths wide open, and they were all dumbfounded.
Each middle-aged wealthy businessman murmured to himself: "This guy is crazy, they are all crazy."
Kuricus was also shocked, but he had experienced too much as a host.
He quickly came back to his senses and said: "Sir Viscount Sexta, you have not yet provided proof of financial resources."
Sexta seemed to have been greatly insulted and said angrily: "You damn bastard, do I still need financial proof for my identity?
You look down on me and my family."
Kuricus spread his arms and said: "We have no doubt that your family can come up with so much money, but Sir Viscount, you don't have any property in your private name, and you can't make the decision for the entire family, so the one hundred thousand you just paid The offer is invalid unless you are able to obtain authorization from your father, General Alexius" Sexta roared: "How do you ask me to ask my father to authorize you at this time?
Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for you?"
Zhao Ziliang winked at Bart at this time.
Bart understood and said loudly: "The rules are the rules.
If you don't have money, don't embarrass yourself here.
My master said that he hopes that this bidding auction will be under a fair situation."
If the Moulin Rouge unilaterally opens the door to certain powerful people and does not comply with the organizer's consistent insistence, If you insist on the principle of fairness and justice, then you will definitely destroy integrity in our Western Qin and Datang.
Integrity is the foundation for everyone to live in the world.
Once you lose integrity, you will be cast aside by everyone.
If you insist on doing this, my master will I will suspect that you and VIP No. 1 and No. 2 have secretly colluded to defraud my master of his money
