941 Keen Dutchman

Apparently this is because the interest rate of two percent is too high - for ordinary people, people do not believe that such a good thing will fall on them, because for ordinary people, being deceived by nobles is a common thing, so fools are now more and more vigilant.

Of course, the reason why the foolish people are foolish people is because their memory is very short, and people will always be quickly distracted by all kinds of dazzling other things, so the nobles can wait for this hot spot to disappear, and then deceive the foolish people - rest assured, the public will still be fooled, otherwise, can they be called fools?

In short, in the face of this scene, today's Lao Ba and Han Letian have to open completely, they calmly said to their employees, those who cash out the money from our account, just give it to others, rest assured, they will regret it in the end, and what we have to do is to let this group of people regret their intestines.

Then the two also announced to the Duchess of Pimont and the representative of the Dutch East India Company that we will soon issue Australian dollars, and from next year's Spring Festival, the currency in circulation in Xin'an City can only be gold and Australian dollars, and if you want to buy Australian goods, you must deposit real money in our bank, and then exchange it into Australian dollars before you can shop in the market and settle the circulation.

Lao Ba also said, please rest assured, the Australian dollar is a currency issued on the gold standard as the anchor, fifty grams of silver or five grams of gold will be exchanged for one gold Australian dollar, in this way, please convert the various currencies in your hands, including the Dutch Ducat, the Portuguese Escudo, the rial, the Spanish gold peso, the French gold louis and the British gold pound sterling, etc. and so on and the Australian dollar exchange rate.

At the same time, please rest assured, we will let the Australian dollar holders get the exchange benefit, because the Australian dollar is a stable currency on the gold standard, behind it is gold and silver, and the Australian banking union - the endorsement of the Federal Reserve, of course, behind the Federal Reserve is also standing the Australian Commonwealth, in a word, if you want Australian goods, want to do business with us, then deposit all the gold and silver coins in your hands into our banks, including Citibank, a joint venture between us and the Portuguese.

Of course, if the Dutch bank participates in it, there is no problem, in short, we believe in free trade, and the door is open and the interests are equal, so you can come to Xin'an City to open a bank, if you want to open a bank by yourself, it is no problem to open a bank with us, and if you want to do it with us, we can cooperate with joint ventures, all in all, the Federal Reserve Board is open to financial institutions in various countries, and the only condition for you to come in is to abide by the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia and obtain membership in the Federal Reserve Board from the qualifications.

Soon after, the Dutch East India Company sent a special negotiator to have a long secret conversation with Ba Fengtian in the large living room on the second floor of the Governor's Palace in Xin'an City, and then Han Letian and Xiao Pingguo also participated in the talks.

In the end, I don't know what kind of deal was reached between Han Lotian and Lao Ba, anyway, the financial cooperation business with the Dutch East India Company was finally undertaken by Han Lotian's Federal Industrial and Commercial Bank - the Dutch East India Company decided to invest 100,000 taels of silver in Han Lotian's Federal Industrial and Commercial Bank, becoming the second largest shareholder of the bank - the shares of the Dutch East India Company will account for 10% of the bank's total capital.

As a result, the Federal Industrial and Commercial Bank of Han Lotte was given the right to open branches in Batavia and Kupang.

For the positive attitude of the Dutch East India Company, some of them were beyond the expectations of other onlookers, including the old prince Xianglin Kangda and others said that they couldn't imagine that Boss Xiao Han was really ambitious, and with this momentum to do business, we really want to be impressed by Xiao Han.

So on this day, the Dutch negotiators had just left, and as soon as the two of them returned to the governor's palace, they saw a large group of people from the old prince Kang Xiao and Wei Hong, Zhou Ruiyue, and Chu Ge were gathering in the restaurant on the first floor, with all kinds of seafood on the table, as well as a few bottles of the duchess's blended wine, and the two realized that today was Saturday, and according to the custom, this was the evening dinner party on the weekend's rest day.

When they watched the two of them send the Dutch away and come back, they immediately stopped the two busymen, and then forcibly pulled them to the table, and invariably picked up the wine glasses and stuffed them into their hands, and pushed over a large plate with a few steamed sea bass, and poured the duchess into the glass, and then asked the two to talk about how you talked to the Dutch.

Hou Xianglin first said, you Xiao Han can, how did you persuade the Dutch to join your bank? And obviously it's not just about buying shares, because you can actually go to Batavia and Kupang to open branches, you know, even though the Netherlands is the most open merchant country in this era, but it is still a country that believes in mercantilism, why is the financial field just open to you? Is this the lifeblood of the country?

Han Letian looked at the old bus next to him and said, in fact, I am just a small boss who does a supermarket, if I want to talk about learning, where can I compare with Brother Ba Laoyu, and now I can go to Batavia and Kupang, there is the meaning of exploring the way, maybe I am cannon fodder.

Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lao Ba, who smiled calmly and said, Xiao Han does have the intention of exploring the way, but he will not be cannon fodder, in fact, there are major interests between the Dutch and us, and this is very compatible with our Australian dollar strategy.

Lao Ba couldn't help but sigh when he said this: Actually, I was a little surprised by the Dutch's business acumen, so to speak, the Dutch are worthy of the sea coachmen in the world today, the Dutch, specifically the Dutch merchants, they are the most international people of our time - if we are not included.

Everyone was a little surprised to hear Lao Ba's evaluation of the Dutch:

What do you mean by that?

With an international outlook?

You always say that in this era of great geographical discoveries are not yet complete? Who else has an international outlook but us?

Ba Lao, your old man's evaluation is a bit high, right?

It's just that the Dutch don't even know how big the Australian continent is......

Hearing everyone's complaints, Lao Ba hurriedly shook his hand to make everyone quiet, and continued: Don't believe it, I came to this conclusion after discussing problems and insights with Xiaoyu, and after a careful comparison.

Ladies and gentlemen, last time Xiao Yu sent us a telegram of suggestions on financial business, and that telegram was very long and professional, so I guess you didn't read it carefully, but Xiao Xiao Xiaohan and I read it carefully.

At this time, Xiao Pingguo and Han Letian nodded together and responded:

Brother Yu is indeed a professional in finance, and he has to serve ......

Lao Ba continued: This time, Xiao Yu reminded us in the telegram that we should pay attention to the current era, between the East and the West, there is an important financial phenomenon - the price difference between gold and silver, and also said that all our financial business must recognize this reality and respect this reality to do, and then - Lao Ba paused at this point, looked at everyone and said with blazing eyes: Everyone, our financial business has a core task, or in other words, there is a core interest, which is the center that all our financial undertakings must revolve around. I don't know if you know what you know......
