3: Once people in both regions A and B widely accept your deposit services and start using your notes for transactions, your notes effectively become paper currency. As other people imitate your model and open banks to issue their own notes, the market becomes flooded with a variety of paper currencies. When all the banks agree to standardize the design of these notes and form a unified ledger, the central bank is born. If this process is privately driven, the central bank is privately owned, such as the Federal Reserve in the U.S. If the state intervenes, it creates a national central bank, like the People’s Bank of China. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Let’s return to our previous point. Now that your bank has accumulated a large amount of funds, you’re finally rich enough to lend money and earn interest. You pay part of the interest to those with fixed deposits, and the difference between the interest on deposits and loans becomes your profit.
4: As long as borrowers can repay their loans before the fixed deposits mature, this game can go on indefinitely. Even if a borrower fails to repay on time, the game can still continue as long as depositors don’t all withdraw their money at once. Or perhaps you decide that lending money is still too risky—what if it doesn’t come back? So, you bundle the loans as "bonds" and sell them to depositors: “These ‘bonds’ are investment products from our bank and offer higher returns than fixed deposits.” In this way, you share a bit of the profit margin while avoiding the risk of non-repayment. Ultimately, as a middleman—or rather, a banker—you must continually innovate in how you manage the flow of funds. 2. The Game of Capital Flow No matter how you innovate, the ultimate goal is to lend out more money under limited capital. But the game only works if the borrower repays the loan, ideally with interest, on time.
