1382 Foreign merchant Hengliwen
Hu Xueyan rubbed his temples painfully, "Hengliwen...... What do you want me to do? I'm afraid there's only so much I can do to help you......"
"No, no, no, you can help me a lot, a lot of ......" Heng Liwen put down his knife and fork and drank a big sip of red wine, "The Beijing Imperial Court is right to choose to ally with us, because there is no richer person in this world than us!"
"The wealth of the world is concentrated in the City of London, and the wealth of the City is concentrated in the hands of our bankers...... Let me tell you the truth! Only merchants can wage a war in this world, and even the king is just a pawn in our hands!"
"I really don't know what you think in your heads, why would you rather cooperate with Xiao Letian than with us, especially Zeng Guofan's old antique, obviously we have bought off a lot of generals under his command, but he is stubbornly guarding the strict order not to allow private capital to trade, why is he?"
Heng Liwen's expression became extremely hideous: "Doesn't he know that the future world belongs to capital? Does he want to go against the general trend? What are the benefits of cooperating with Xiao Letian? Don't forget that he is a Han Chinese, and it is impossible for him to have no territorial claims to this country!"
"Mr. Hu, I hope you don't disrespect the will, I hope you think about your family and don't go in the wrong direction on the road of life!"
"That's enough!" Hu Xueyan roared, "Lao Tzu, I don't need you to teach me the Three Character Sutra, you quickly say what you want!"
Seeing Hu Xueyan angry, Heng Liwen smiled, he was nervous due to the huge pressure for a long time, and now he felt extremely relaxed when he saw Hu Xueyan collapse.
"Very good, very good! Now you answer my first question! How many southern tickets did Xiao Letian put in Jiangnan! Don't tell me 1.6 billion yuan, don't be a fool, we have our statistician, of course we will count!"
Hu Xueyan's chest rose and fell violently, he really didn't want to sit with this bastard foreigner, he knew that Heng Liwen was the head of the foreign bankers in this South Ticket Crisis, and the biggest black hand behind the scenes was him.
But thinking back to the uninvited guest who suddenly visited his house seven days ago, when the eunuch with a duck voice conveyed to him the secret decree of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the secret order of Prince Gong, Hu Xueyan knew that he was powerless.
The big family of heaven and earth is the largest, after all, the family has to make a living in the realm of the Qing Dynasty, and he can't disobey the holy decree for the sake of the lives of future generations.
It was precisely because of Beijing's secret decree that he made an exception to meet Hengliwen in Shanghai.
Hu Xueyan sighed, "Actually, I don't know how many southern tickets Xiao Letian has put in, but just from our Fukang Yinhao, there are already 2.5 billion yuan!"
"Nominally, Xiao Lotian contracted the banknote exchange business in Jiangnan to me, but no matter how big my face is, I don't dare to care about other people's Lotte Bank to exchange it myself! I think Lotte Bank should also send out about 2.5 billion yuan...... The total amount of Jiangnan South Ticket issuance is about 5 billion yuan, and this data should be reliable!"
Hu Xueyan waved his hand painfully, "If there is anything else to ask, let's ask together, if there is anything you want me to do, let's talk together! Out of this door, I don't know you......
Hiss...... Heng Liwen gasped, "Is it 5 billion? This is similar to our previous guess, this cunning fox actually claimed that it was only 1.6 billion, it was too insidious......"
Heng Liwen blinked his eyes and kept calculating in his heart, "The collapse of 5 billion yuan banknotes, adding that 3 billion has flowed into the hedging market, Xiao Letian secretly collected, according to the exchange price during this time, Xiao Letian probably has about 20 million silver dollars to eat the 3 billion banknotes......"
"Damn, if this guy wins, the 3 billion waste paper bought by 20 million silver dollars will immediately become 3 billion yuan in cash!
Heng Liwen's eyes blinked, and greed began to envelop his heart like a devil.
"Now let me ask you a second question...... Heng Liwen shook his wine glass and whispered, "Is there a way for you to pry a hole from the ban of the big handsome, we need to buy a lot of land, shops, workshops, ......"
"Impossible!" Hu Xueyan shook his head, "Don't want to challenge the big handsome's tiger might, Jiang Ning has issued a strict order this time, and the big man has already said that no one wants to fight ghosts with a three-month ban, otherwise the lifelong friendship will be gone!"
"I can't do it, I can't do this!"
"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Heng Liwen said fiercely, "Don't forget the secret decree given to you, don't forget that this world belongs to the Beijing Imperial Court, and don't forget the lives of your family......"
"I believe that you Chinese means, thousands of years of bureaucratic culture, so that you have a way to exploit loopholes, you don't play with me, I am also a China expert! Big deal, I will give you 5% handling fee, the more you do, the more you earn!"
Hu Xueyan slapped his head angrily, "What kind of sin have I created! What kind of sin have I created! Okay...... If you have to do it, I can only have one way, and that is to secretly buy shares!"
Generally speaking, many people want to avoid government audits and ensure the safety of their funds, and they like to enter dark stocks and dry stocks.
For example, if a member of the imperial court is afraid that the news of his money will spread, and he wants to let go out to make more money, he will buy dark stocks and secretly eat dividends.
And many big businessmen want to bribe officials, send real money, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., it is too eye-catching, and it is also a good way to move dark stocks and then distribute dividends every year, and it also extends the friendship, as long as there are dividends every year, the friendship between officials and businessmen will not be broken.
Even the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because of the ancestral precepts forbidding them to do business, but the flag salary is not enough to eat? Then they do business with many Han people, and many restaurants and wineries in Beijing are operated in this way, and almost none of the big families among the banner people do not use shares to make money.
Hu Xueyan looked at Heng Liwen and was a little hesitant, and snorted coldly: "Hmph...... This is the only way, who would dare to touch the handsome tiger? If you don't skip the government, you still want to eat the industry? Don't dream......
"But without the endorsement of the government, do these share contracts have legal effect?" Heng Liwen asked suspiciously.
"Ah......h Isn't it true that you foreigners have cannons? Why do you need the government to support a contract backed by cannons?
Heng Liwen reacted immediately, why am I so stupid, what do I want from the Manchu government, who in this Manchu Qing Dynasty dares to reason with the cannon of our foreigners?
Wait, you Hu Xueyan dare to call me? You are bold enough! You dare to scold me for lacking heart, believe it or not, I will clean you up!
