"Childe doesn't just want to know about the Qin Kingdom, right?" Fan Zeng leisurely put down the cup in his hand and said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This. Tell the truth. I want to talk to Qin Guo below. However, I don't know how to contact the prime minister of Qin. He said frankly.

"Oh." Fan Zeng was a little surprised. He waited patiently for the other party's reply, he heard the explanation of the businessmen of the Chu Chamber of Commerce to find Fan Zeng, he wanted to expand the interests of the Chu State through Fan Zeng, after all, such a large, such a wide range of summits did not have the share of the Chu State, this is obviously very unbearable, if the final agreement is really reached, the Chu State will not be excluded. It is very clear that if this is really the case, it will not be beneficial to the Chu State.

"It's just, I don't know what to call Childe?" At this time, Fan Zeng asked.

"Under the surname Xiong, the name is negative." He said very frankly.

"Oh. It turned out to be a negative son. Fan Zeng bowed and said.

"I don't know what Gongzi wants to talk about with Qin Guo?" Fan Zeng asked.

"This. There is no solution. He also shook his head at this time and said. He really didn't know what he would talk about after finding the prime minister of Qin, he didn't know what the people of Qin wanted to do, what requirements he had for Chu, he didn't know, if he hadn't found him, I'm afraid he might not be able to meet the prime minister of Qin. Fan Zeng is different, he is the former secretary of state of Qin, so he naturally knows some things about Qin, if he introduces him, his own affairs will definitely be successful, but he really doesn't know what to talk about.

"Dare to ask Childe. How much does Childe know about the Qin State? Fan Zeng then asked.

"This. The state of Qin was the first power, a great power. The military is strong. Economy first. Advanced armament. The territory is larger than all countries. In addition, there are many firsts. These firsts are a great threat to the Chu State, but it is very strange that the Qin State does not expand eastward, but only constantly cooperates with other countries. I have been puzzled under it. He said slowly.

"Gongzi doesn't know about the Qin State, so does the Qin State understand the Chu State?" Fan Zeng then asked.

"This. I'm afraid that the Qin State may not know about the Qin State, but unfortunately, our nobles of the Chu State don't know anything about it, and they only import a large number of weapons from the hands of the Qin people to protect themselves. A lot of things are dismissive. The state of Chu is much behind. He said.

"So, compared to Korea, what does Childe think?" Fan Zeng then asked.

"This. The state of Chu should be able to fight with Korea. However, the Qin people behind the Koreans. This one. He said with some unconfidence.

"It seems that Childe doesn't have to talk about it." Fan Zeng shook his head at this time and said.

"Why is this so, sir?" Asked Fan Zeng dissatisfied, he didn't understand why Fan Zeng was so unoptimistic about Chu State.

"I heard that Mr. is also from the Chu State, why is he so unconfident in the Chu State." Said very dissatisfied.

"Because Qin is a different country." Fan Zeng said.

"The current Qin State is different from any previous generation of Qin State, and the strategic vision of the Qin State is no longer on the Central Plains." Fan Zeng said to his son.

"It's not in the Central Plains, isn't it in this world." Said the negative.

"Maybe the world of this Qin State is bigger than the world you said." Fan Zeng said.

"This. Or ask Mr. for the specific practices of the current Chu State. At this time, he saluted and said. Regarding Fan Zeng's tangled strategic vision, he believes that this is not important at all, at least there is no need for the current situation. After all, he doesn't have any power.

"Hmm. I don't know what Childe wants? Fan Zeng asked. Fan Zeng felt that Gongzi had great ambitions, and this ambition made him feel that Gongzi was restless.

"Strengthen my Chu country." He replied very dryly.

"Oh." Fan Zeng just nodded and didn't say anything.

"Please sir teach me." Bow down.

"Hmm. If Gongzi wants to strengthen the Chu State, he should not rely on those nobles. For the aristocracy can only be wooed. Childe can rely on the power of merchants to ascend to the throne. This can also be supported by the state of Qin. Fan Zeng said very easily.

"Merchant?" Negative asked.

"Yes. Merchants have a lot of money, they have a wide range of abilities, merchants are willing to take risks, but farmers are not, those nobles can make profits, but they will seek comfort, and merchants are different, they absolutely dare to take risks. Merchants have a lot of wealth in their hands, and they are willing to take risks in order to get a bigger fortune. It was precisely because of the use of merchants that the Qin State rapidly developed and grew to such a situation, and the continuous expansion of the territory of the Qin State was a manifestation of the merchants' continuous pursuit of greater benefits. Didn't Childe see it? Fan Zeng asked.

"This." After hesitating for a moment, he thought about what Fan Zeng said, it is true, businessmen are indeed much stronger than those nobles, and the nobles are very stubborn about keeping their business, so that the nobles become conservative about vested interests, they are only passively accepting new things, and they will definitely not actively expand some new things. Businessmen, on the other hand, are always looking for greater profits, even if they don't have much money in hand, they will take risks borrowing money to do bigger business. For new things, they dare to try, and the people of the Qin State did not take advantage of this, if the previous Qin State was an agricultural expansion, this expansion was very cyclical and coercive. But today's Qin state relies on commercial trade, commercial competition, which is more brutal than agricultural competition, and is also extremely active in foreign expansion, and they are constantly seeking greater profits. It's a kind of nature for them. The expulsion of interests makes them very expansive and more willing to take risks.

"This time the Qin State held a summit, and most of the content of the discussion was beneficial to the merchants, but the nobles of the Chu State were closed a lot, they were unwilling to open their markets to various countries, and at the same time, they were extremely greedy for interests, and imposed high taxes on the merchants of the Qin State, South Korea, Zhao State and other countries, and the merchants of the Chu State were not spared, and the merchants of the Chu State had already stood on the opposite side of the nobles. All kinds of behaviors of Chu are very unfavorable to Qin, not only Qin, but also other countries, this meeting, all countries have reduced and liberalized tariffs, but Chu has not done this, and Chu has continued to increase its own tariffs, such a move is very unfavorable to the nobles of Chu. Fan Zeng said.

"If Gongzi wants to get the support of the merchants of the Chu State and the Qin State, as long as he targets the nobles and develops things that are beneficial to the merchants." Fan Zeng said lightly.

"There are two points that are beneficial to the merchants of the Chu State and the development of commercial trade in the Qin State. Childe will be able to ascend to the throne. At this meeting, the state of Chu will receive the support of more countries. Fan Zeng was very clear about the purpose of Gongzi's visit to him this time.

"If you can, it's okay for the old man to introduce him to the son, or write a letter." Fan Zeng then said to Gongzi.

And the negative is thinking about one thing, he is hesitating, Fan Zeng's meaning is obvious, that is, let him give up the nobles of Chu in exchange for the support of the weak, but able to fully support the support of the merchants of the Chu State, although Fan Zeng explained the urgent hope of the Qin State for the development of commercial trade, but he still hesitated, worried that the merchants of the Chu State, the Qin State is too close, and it is very unfavorable to the stability of the Chu State.

"Does Gongzi still hesitate to be the nobles of the Chu Kingdom?" At this time, Fan Zeng asked.

"This. Yes, indeed. "Negative did not deny it. He believes that there are many nobles in Chu State, and if they are blindly suppressed, it will cause serious consequences, even if they are on the throne, they will be greatly suppressed, and the domestic situation will be very unstable.

"Childe doesn't have to worry about this." Fan Zeng shook his hand and said.

"Gongzi can take a look at the Northern Wei Dynasty, as well as the Zhao State, South Korea's iron-blooded suppression of the aristocracy, you can not learn, the Zhao State distributed power to the nobles, established a noble council, so that it can be controlled stably, and the Northern Wei Dynasty separated the nobles and merchants. If Gongzi wants to stabilize the domestic situation in Chu, he can learn from Zhao, set up a parliament, and throw part of the decision-making power to the nobles, the upper and lower houses, or other aliased houses, in short, the interests of merchants and nobles must be co-opted and attacked, and Gongzi can be guaranteed a big position. Fan Zeng said with a smile.

Hearing this, it suddenly became clear to him, he had never been so clear before, he wanted to win the support of the nobles, but the nobles could not get further support because they needed the expansion of their own interests.

"Sir is really talented. Dare to ask Mr. for my arm. "Saying that, he bowed a lot.

Fan Zeng saw that he saluted like this, and the vanity in his heart was satisfied. However, he felt that this was not the time, and if he agreed too early, he would not take himself lightly.

"This. If you want to travel around the world, you don't have to force it. Fan Zeng refused.

"This. Mr. is talented, why don't you teach me how to get the support of the Qin State? He hoped to keep Fan Zeng through this matter, and then slowly retract Fan Zeng.

"This. All right. Fan Zengmian reluctantly agreed. Seeing Fan Zeng agree, the heart that was hanging in the burden finally fell.

In an electrolytic aluminum factory in Taiyuan County, Qinguo.

"Whoa." There was a loud bang, and the factory went into darkness.

"What's going on? Yes? There's a fucking power outage again. The workshop manager shouted loudly and dissatisfied.

"Light the lights. Let's light it up. It seems that it can't be done today. A worker sat down on the spot, he was also tired, and he wiped his sweat.

"Captain." At this time, a man in his thirties came over wearing glasses.

"What's going on? What's going on with your power supply station, a month, just a few days, you have stopped the electricity for more than half a month, and you have stopped it for me at other times. Intermittent. What's the matter with you? I don't want to do it. The chief pinched his waist with one hand, waved the other hand constantly, and then shouted loudly.

"We can't help this. If you don't believe me, you come with me to the power station to see what the situation is. I don't have a generator set on my hands right now. My generators are all burned out, and you're too scared of electricity. The man in his thirties said with a bitter face.

"This." The old king was embarrassed to say anything. After all, the other party has already explained his difficulties, and if he continues to talk about it, I'm afraid he will be embarrassed.

"Alas. Let's all go out and rest. The old king waved loudly at this time. He looked very helpless and tired.

"I know you're in trouble." The man in his thirties squatted on the ground and said.

"Yes, our production tasks can't be compared to yours, I say, old guard. Can you expand the power supply station a little bit, make it as big as a power plant, and get more generator sets, so that we can use this electricity? The old king also squatted down at this time and said.

"Hey, I'm talking about the old king." Wei Bu said impatiently.

"You're so greedy. Did you know that my power station already has 25 generator sets, and I burn 10 wagons of coal a day. These coals are all high-quality coals. It burns more heat than you think. Wei Bu said, waving his hand. Wei Bu is the stationmaster of the 12th power station of the Wenyang Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, and his main task is to provide sufficient power to the Wenyang No. 1 Aluminum Plant.

Geologists of the Qin State discovered a large amount of bauxite in Taiyuan County. Aluminum is a completely new metal, and this metal has a significant use in aircraft construction and machinery manufacturing, so there is a great demand for aluminum in the Qin State. But aluminum is made by electrolysis and requires a lot of electricity, and the Qinguo Aluminum Plant needs a lot of electricity to produce a large number of aluminum ingots. But electricity can't meet the needs of aluminum plants.

"Oh. It seems that I still don't know enough. The old king said apologetically at this time.

"If you say this, there is no way to do it, who makes you need so much electricity to make aluminum, and your monthly power consumption is almost catching up with the power consumption of Xianyang in one day. A power plant simply won't be able to meet your needs. Wei Bu said.

"Indeed, if this continues, our aluminum production task will not be completed for a month." The old king said worriedly.

"You didn't report to the higher authorities to build more power plants, and if this continues, our task will not be completed at all." When Lao Wang Tou thought of the output of 30,000 stone of aluminum a month, he felt very troubled. He was very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, no one relieved him of the task.

"Now more than 10,000 stones of aluminum come out a month, which is enough." Wei Bu said.

"There's no way around it now. The demand for aluminum is particularly large, and the price of aluminum is now very high, higher than steel, and the comparison with gold is also one to three. Aluminum is definitely a good thing. The old king said.

"This aluminum is light and has good thermal conductivity. The price is just more expensive. There's a lot of it in demand at the aircraft factory. The old king said.

"Good is good. But you consume too much electricity, and if you don't solve this problem, your output can't be solved at all. Wei Bu said.

"Indeed, this problem, I should report it to the above, if this problem is not solved, the output of aluminum will not be able to increase at all." Saying that, the old king nodded.

"Alright. I won't say anything. Went to write a report. Saying that, the old king went to write the report in a hurry. The guards stayed there and watched the workers leave.

In the headquarters of Qinguo Wenyang Bank.

"The content of the Xinzheng meeting has been preliminarily available. The investment environment in various countries will be greatly improved, which is very beneficial to us. I don't know if the superintendent has any ideas? Yingyu asked Xiao He.

"Hmm. Chairman, I think the current investment environment has indeed changed a lot. Xiao He said.

"But, I think, the biggest problem is not the change in the investment climate." Xiao He said.

"And what do you think it is?" At this time, Yingyu asked.

"I think the biggest problem is funding, we have too many shares in our hands at the moment and what is lacking is capital, although recently the Federal Bank Reserve Board is willing to pledge more shares to provide more money. However, this still cannot solve the dilemma of our lack of funds, so our biggest problem at present is not the change of investment environment, but the lack of funds in our hands, and our previous capital expansion has excessively consumed too much of our funds. Xiao He said worriedly.

"Well, you're right." Yingyu nodded. The summit convened by the Qin government cleared the way for the Qin Bank to invest, and when this obstacle was cleared, then the next thing became delicate. There are many investment projects, but there is little capital. As a result, the bank's funding problem has suddenly come to the fore again.

"We don't have enough money, just from the committee, it's really not enough, and it's a big shock to us. There is no funding, there are too many projects, and we have no way. Yingyu said worriedly.

"I don't know if Director Xiao has a good way to solve this problem." At this time, Yingyu asked.

"Hmm. If a large amount of funding is obtained from the Commission alone, other banks are doing the same, if so. Wenyang Bank really doesn't have much money in its hands. In my opinion, the best way at the moment is to sell some of the shares that we have pledged and expired, so that our funds can be turned over well. Xiao He said at this time.

"Sell our shares?" Yingyu asked.

"Yes, only in this way can we have more cash turnover, and the stock market is currently on the rise, and we can sell our shares, as well as those shares of large companies, we can also sell, and such an opportunity is too easy for us. In this way, we can also solve our financial problems. Xiao He continued.

"Hmm. That's a good idea. In this way, we will be able to solve the problem of funding, although there are still some problems with the sale of shares. But if it solves our problems, it's a solution. Yingyu said.

"I think that's what happened." Yingyu said.

"However, chairman, I think this is only to solve one of our current problems, and we should also solve the problem of funding elsewhere, after all, there are many projects now, and if we all enter it, the use of funds is not flammable enough." Xiao He said.

"Hmm." Yingyu nodded. Yingyu agrees with this very much. With only one market in Qin, I am afraid that it will not be able to complete such a task, after all, the market of Qinguo can accommodate a certain amount, and there are still a large number of stocks of large enterprises in other countries in the hands of Wenyang Bank of Qin. If we can sell these stocks when the stock market is just established and chaotic, then our problem of capital withdrawal can be well solved. Xiao He said.

"Hmm. Right. Too much. These stocks are fixed assets in our hands, and if countries establish a large stock market, we can quickly sell the stocks in our hands. In this way, our investment can be quickly profitable. Yingyu said.

"Yes, and there will definitely be people in these countries who want to buy their stocks to increase in value, so that our investment is very profitable." Xiao He said.

Yingyu nodded. In this way, the bank's investment can go through a virtuous cycle.

And in Xinzheng. Shang Wen and Meng Yi were also discussing this matter.

"The problem of the investment climate has been solved." Meng Yi said to Shang Wen.

"However, a bigger problem arises. The question of funding, funding is again in front of us. Meng Yi said.

"Yes, we can only get the commission to mortgage as much as possible and release as much money as possible." Shang Wen said.

"But there is a big problem with this method, this problem appears in the mortgage, if there are too many shares mortgaged, it will still be backlogged on our side in the end." Meng Yi said.

"And, now there are more and more shares. This is very disadvantageous for the committee, after all, there are so many shares. In our hands, if it is held for a long time, it is too bad for us. Meng Yi said to Shang Wen worriedly.

"Yes, if we continue to lend, we will have more and more shares. It's really not good to go on like this. I'm also worried about this matter, if it continues like this, these shares will become fixed assets, and if they are squeezed for a long time, the pressure on our Qin State will be too great. Shang Wen said worriedly.

"But I remember that you had to deal with these things at the time." Meng Yi reminded.

"These shares are all pledged, and we can see how many shares we can deal with, and through negotiation or other methods, we can turn them into investments, and then put them on the market to sell, especially Zhao Guo's stock market. This market has just been established. We can quickly get rid of some of them, which is very beneficial to us. Shang Wen said.

"Hmm. It's a good idea, and for us, it's going to be a big deal in the committee's hands, and then it's going to turn into a lot of money, and then we can get countries to issue a lot of bonds. In that case, we will be creditors of all countries. Meng Yi said.

"Hmm. That's really good. Shang Wen nodded.

"Now we have to ask the committee to solve the problem of some of the shares in its hands, to solve the problem of funding. Once a part is cleared, it would allow the Committee to have more money to deal with more things. Shang Wen said.
