Chapter 192: 100 Million Dollars (Fifth Update, 12,000 Update Completed)
When Zhao Jiangchuan received the news from France, it was already half a month after He Tianya left.
Darkwater didn't get off to a good start.
Language, ethnicity, and skin color make it difficult for Darkwater to develop abroad.
Thankfully, Darkwater's personnel were professionally trained in military affairs, and most of them eventually passed the French military's recruitment screen.
Those that don't pass will stay in mainland France and slowly expand the influence of Darkwater.
This is the preliminary plan for Darkwater.
Join the Foreign Legion first, so that all personnel can grow quickly by seeing blood on the battlefield.
The dark water that grows up in this way can be of great use in the future.
…….
If the current dark water wants to gain a firm foothold abroad, it needs follow-up capital input.
It is not so easy to develop power abroad, whether it is weapons and equipment or to attract new members, it requires a huge amount of money.
Due to domestic capital controls, Darkwater International did not carry much money when it went out.
The follow-up capital input can only fall on Zhao Jiangchuan's head.
However, this is not a difficult thing for people like Zhao Jiangchuan who play with capital.
The times have changed, and the essence of people's pursuit of interests remains unchanged.
Zhao Jiangchuan has too many ways to transfer funds abroad, legally and safely.
The safest and quickest way is to find a foreign bank for help.
Standard Chartered Bank.
is a worldwide bank.
The business is concentrated in emerging markets such as Asia, the subcontinent, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
The main business includes retail banking services such as mortgage, investment services, credit cards and personal loans, etc., and commercial banking services include cash management, trade finance, treasury and custody services.
The Standard Chartered Bank Group has 600 branches in 56 countries around the world.
Interestingly, Standard Chartered has a presence in many countries, but very few customers in the UK.
More than 90% of Standard Chartered's profits come from Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
With the power of a global foreign bank like Standard Chartered, there are naturally many ways to safely transfer domestic funds abroad.
Standard Chartered Bank opened its first branch in 1858 and has been operating in China for nearly 150 years, becoming the oldest foreign bank in China.
Robert?? Badenberg is currently the top manager of the Standard Chartered branch in Modu.
After Zhao Jiangchuan brought Fang Zhongyuan to the door, as the highest-level VIP customer of Standard Chartered Bank, Robert personally came out to receive Zhao Jiangchuan.
Robert, a native Englishman.
He has a hooked nose, blue eyeshadow, yellow hair, and a big beard.
After Zhao Jiangchuan explained his intentions, the banker from the United Kingdom showed a look of embarrassment.
"Mr. Zhao, you are a senior VIP customer of our bank, it stands to reason that we should try our best to meet your requirements, but this matter is very difficult to do, you also know that your country is very strict in terms of foreign exchange control, and we also need to be supervised...."
"Yes, in the past few years, the amount of money that Hong Kong has invested in the mainland alone has been very large, don't tell me that you don't know how to operate here. ”
Late eighties to nineties.
Far-sighted businessmen from all over the world have already discovered the opportunity for China to take off.
In addition to the huge population base of China, a large part of the reason for this opportunity is that China has been peaceful for nearly two decades.
Twenty years is very important for a big country.
In addition, unlike other countries, China treats foreign investment very generously in terms of policy.
Under the benefit of various policies, many bold funds have begun to invest in the mainland.
It was also at that time that prices in Hong Kong soared.
The continued surge in real estate prices has struggled the low-tech manufacturing industry to cope, and the labor costs have skyrocketed due to repeated activism by trade unions.
A large amount of money began to move the factory to the mainland in order to save production costs.
Every year, more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars are invested in the mainland alone.
These funds were used to build factories in major coastal cities and recruit workers to develop enterprises, and the hard work of the Chinese people paid off enormously.
With the first crab eater, more money was brought in.
From billions of dollars a year in the early days to nearly 100 billion yuan a year later, countless overseas funds began to frantically pour into China, a country that is about to take off.
It was also the prototype of one of the earlier sweatshops.
Batteries, textile factories, electronics factories, and other factories with very low technology content or various hazards all poured into the mainland in that era.
But for the Chinese people back then, it was undoubtedly very tempting to get an income of 300 yuan per month.
At that time, Hong Kong's per capita income had already exceeded 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The Chinese people are the most industrious human beings in the world.
Even if they need to work more than 14 hours a day, even if there are many jobs that contain highly toxic substances.
They always have no complaints.
But businessmen are always profit-seeking, and they choose to hide the dangers of their jobs.
Cadmium poisoning, lead poisoning, pneumoconiosis, and other mass occupational diseases that broke out later were all hidden dangers buried at that time.
However, it was precisely because of the large amount of overseas funds stationed at that time that the later China really took off and mastered trillions of dollars in foreign reserves.
There is also the capital to dialogue with the international community.
When a large amount of overseas funds pour into the mainland, banks like Standard Chartered will inevitably be one of the channels for overseas capital inflow.
Zhao Jiangchuan knew very well that Robert's embarrassment was all pretended, and the purpose was nothing more than wanting a higher return.
If it is really as difficult as he said, it will not be so easy for black money from various channels to flow from the mainland to overseas.
After listening to Zhao Jiangchuan's last sentence, Robert looked displeased.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't understand what you mean, our Standard Chartered is a legal bank in the world, and I don't understand the operation you said. ”
Legitimate?
Zhao Jiangchuan sneered.
Banks talk about the law openly, which is simply a big joke in the world.
However, Robert's words are right, banks are indeed law-abiding, but this does not mean that bankers will also be law-abiding.
"Carrot Head, don't you want to hear how much money I'm going to give out?"
Radish heads?
Robert's face darkened.
He has been in China for so many years, he can speak Chinese, where would he not know that Robert and Radish Head are completely different things.
Deliberately, he must have done it on purpose.
Chinese pronunciation, Robert and radish head are not the same at all.
Robert felt insulted.
For an Englishman who was born orthodox, it is a great insult to be made fun of his surname.
Even if Britain is no longer the British Empire of the past, for Robert, a purebred British, he still can't accept this insult.
How much money can an authentic Chinese person have.
In Robert's view, Zhao Jiangchuan is nothing more than a creature called an upstart in Huaguo, and with a little money, he doesn't take people seriously.
Robert has already estimated Zhao's assets.
In Standard Chartered's account, Zhao Jiangchuan once had a record of up to 420 million yuan.
But he couldn't have transferred all the money out.
What's more, the 400 million was still a long time ago, and whether Zhao Jiangchuan has so much money now is a matter of two things.
I am afraid that in the eyes of the natives of such a destitute area, they think that they can buy the earth with so many hundred million yuan.
Zhao Jiangchuan's arrogant tone made Robert no longer want to maintain any gentlemanly demeanor.
"Zhao, how much money do you want to go out? 100 million or 200 million?"
Robert's words were polite, but the name he changed and the sarcasm in his words could be heard by anyone who was not a fool.
Zhao Jiangchuan naturally heard it.
He raised his eyebrows and said flatly.
"One hundred million. ”
100 million?
It's only 100 million, this kid is so arrogant.
Sure enough, he is a nouveau riche in Tubaozi's family, and he has never seen money.
100 million yuan, according to the current exchange rate difference of 1 to 8, but more than 10 million US dollars.
This is not more than that of a banker from an aristocratic background.
was called the radish head by Zhao Jiangchuan before, and Robert had already held back the fire in his belly.
He scoffed again.
"Just 100 million?"
"Yes, it's just 100 million, well, I forgot to say, it's dollars, 100 million dollars. ”
