When the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing in 1900, Cixi and her entourage of ministers set out from Beijing and traveled westward, passing through Shanxi, to raise silver taels for their daily expenses. Who knows, at this time, many people are dissatisfied with Cixi, and they do not raise donations, and the fundraising target of 300,000 yuan, who knows, was actually claimed by the Shanxi branch of the Dade Heng ticket number, which stunned the major businesses for a while, and also solved the urgent need for Cixi's westward journey. At that time, the treasurer who served as the Shanxi branch of the Dadeheng ticket number was Jia Jiying.
Jia Jiying was born in Yuci, Shanxi, was an apprentice of Qiao's Dade Heng ticket number, good reading, high emotional intelligence, smart and capable, courageous, won the attention of the big shopkeeper Yan Weifan, after years of accumulation of experience, was appointed as the treasurer of the Shanxi branch of the Dade Heng ticket number. Jia Jiying, as a semicolon shopkeeper, not only was he not punished, but he was also greatly praised, praising him, saying, "There will be no Jia Jiying in a thousand years." ”
It turned out that although the Dadeheng ticket number claimed the fundraising task, but at the same time, it also applied to Cixi for a business of remitting the tax income of the Empress Dowager's travel, only this business, you can bring a large amount of income to the ticket number, this move, not only to the Empress Dowager Cixi and other people in power to show the sincerity of serving the country and saving the crisis, but also to the major businesses to show the strength of the Qiao family Dadeheng ticket number, It is trustworthy, and it also invisibly shows the people that it has won the trust of the government and can attract many ordinary people's deposit and loan business, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone and killing three birds with one stone.
After the negotiations with the Eight Kingdoms, Cixi finally returned to the city of Beijing. On the way back to Beijing, she thought that when the country was in trouble, a private ticket number was so rich, and the Qing Dynasty should also set up a Qing silver account to gather the wealth of the world. Cixi ordered someone to find Jia Jiying, who was quite impressive, and asked, "Are you willing to ask you to help assist the imperial court in opening the silver number?" Jia Jiying replied, "I can't be an official under you, but I can do my best in business." So Jia Jiying's Qiaojia Dade Heng resigned, raised 4 million taels of silver, and was promoted to the president of the Daqing Household Bank, issuing silver taels and exchanging silver dollars, and the bank's capital once increased to 10 million taels, and its business spread all over the country.
After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, Daqing Bank closed, Jia Jiying returned to his hometown in Shanxi and served as the president of the Taiyuan branch of Daqing Bank, which was later reorganized into Jinsheng Bank, and was soon reused by Yan Xishan, who continued to exert his management experience and wisdom. Later, after the outbreak of the 77 Incident, Jia Jiying, who resigned from his post, took refuge in Lanzhou, and with the support of Kong Xiangxi, he became the manager of the Lanzhou branch of the Central Bank of the Republic of China, and also served as the director of the joint office of the four banks in the northwest, becoming a highly respected person in the industry.
After Jia Jiying's death, people found that among his relics, there were only two bottles of brandy, a gold bar and a dozen taels of tobacco. Jia Jiying spent most of his career dealing with money, taking power in the money pile, first made a wise decision for the prosperity of the Qiao family's ticket business, and then served in the Qing Dynasty and local bank presidents and other positions, played an important role in financial stability at that time, and was one of the figures who made outstanding contributions to the mainland's modern finance.
