Chapter XXII

Looking at Luo Bin's long face, which was sometimes red and white, Young Master Liang was secretly refreshed in his heart, and said with a serious look: "Mr. Luo Bin, if it weren't for the fact that I was still young, I would really like to have a good drink with you and celebrate the beginning of our friendly cooperation." This is just a small business, we are going to do a big project recently, I wonder if you are interested in Swire & Co."?

"Big project"? Hearing that there was another business to discuss, the British immediately adjusted their mood and cheered up: "The British Empire likes big projects the most, and we at Swire & Co. are powerful big firms, and we can cooperate on no matter how big the project is." "One thing he is not wrong about is that the British have a great appetite, and if it weren't for the fact that China is too big, with a population twenty times that of the British, they would have swallowed it up in one gulp. Since she can't swallow it, she can only use the banner of civilization to restrain her ugly eating appearance and slowly eat away at her flesh and blood. The fat is too big, and if you eat it hard, you will die, and the British are not lacking in reason.

"Mr. Luo Bin, although you are a well-informed person, you may not know that Tianbaoxing has been reorganized, and now Tianbaoxing has absorbed the capital of the Pan family, the Wu family, the Rong family, the Luo family, and the Yi family, with a total capital of 17 million taels of silver, of course, our Liang family still has a controlling position."

"Oh, I really don't know this, with such a strong strength, your Tianbao Xing is now this one in Guangzhou" Luo Bin said with a thumbs up. In fact, he was very shocked in his heart, the Chinese businessman was too rich, the assets of the Wu family were said to be worth 26 million taels of silver, and now such a behemoth has emerged, it seems that there are many opportunities to make money in this Qing Dynasty. "So what big projects are you going to do"?

"Telegram" Young Master Liang only said two words, and then looked at the British with a smile.

"Telegram, Watt, what do you mean" Robin was a little confused.

"Don't understand? Well, let me introduce to you, we are going to set up a telegraph company to monopolize the telegraph business of the entire Qing Dynasty, the capital of this company is five million taels of silver, and our Tianbao Bank will contribute three million taels, and the remaining shortfall is ready to be raised in the foreign bank in Guangzhou, because the technology of this telegraph is relatively lacking in the Qing Dynasty, so we hope that the object of cooperation is the powerful foreign bank in Europe and the United States. ”

"Oh buy Ga, oh buy Ga" even called God Robin can no longer sit still, to ask who most wants to do this telegram in China, the British are the first, in addition to making huge profits, the control of the Qing Dynasty will also be greatly improved, if he Robin does this, he will become a hero of the British Empire, maybe Her Majesty will give him a knighthood, baron? Viscount? Oh buy ga, he seems to see the honor of the knighthood beckoning to him.

"Ronnie, my dear friend, I can assure you that this shortfall of two million taels has been accepted by Swire & Co.," the Englishman was so sincere that he almost patted his chest.

"That won't do, sir. I have already talked to Mr. Loew and Mr. Anderson before you, and they are also very interested, and they will contribute to the shares," Young Master Liang waved his hand in denial.

"Is it that coarse Prussian and that cunning Jew"?

Young Master Liang's face was straight: "Sir, we Chinese pay attention to civilized etiquette, and it is not a gentleman's act to speak ill of people behind our backs, and I believe that this is not a gentleman's behavior in the British Empire."

Luo Bin's old face flushed: "Sao Rui, please forgive me for being reckless." I mean Prussia and the United States are second-rate countries, and they can't be compared with the British Empire."

"Considering that the telegraph company needs to cooperate with countries in Europe and the Americas in the telegraph business, I decided to find Britain, France, Prussia and the United States to cooperate.

"No, no, my young friend, you don't need to find so many foreign companies to cooperate with at all, is there anything in this world that our British Empire can't handle"?

The British Empire, the British Empire, fucking open and closed, as if you are the Queen's illegitimate child, Young Master Liang scolded in his heart: "Mr. Robin, your British Empire is very great, but have you forgotten how the United States is independent?" Her Majesty recognized the Declaration of Independence of the United States. I bet you that within three years there will be a united German empire on the European continent, so don't underestimate Prussia today."

Robin's old face turned red again, today he was completely passive, he dared to say big things with his thick skin, but when he met such an opponent, this cowhide couldn't blow it a little, demon, this oriental boy is a demon, how can he know everything, well, I can't represent the British Empire, even my boss Mr. Swaier is just a rich businessman in Liverpool, and he can't influence the thoughts of those big people in London. He could only try his best to redeem it: "Dear Ronnie, since you have already negotiated with that Loew, there is already a partner on the European continent, there is no need for the French to participate, you must know that a piece of candy is so big, and there are too many people to divide it, we can't feel the sweetness, don't you say?" ”

"This?" Young Master Liang paused, Robin was telling the truth, and he didn't even know a Frenchman, this cowhide couldn't be blown, even Anderson hadn't talked about it and was just a substitute, but with the shrewdness of that Jew, how could he refuse this kind of thing. He looked at Robin and said, "Okay, I'll take your opinion, and I'll not look for the French." As for the distribution of shares between the three of you, tomorrow I will invite the three of you to Tianbao Bank to discuss, I believe you also need time to communicate this matter with the boss of your foreign bank, you see, what time is it appropriate tomorrow? ”

"Well, then tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, if there is no accident, I will arrive at Tianbaoxing on time at three o'clock", after saying this, Robin finally took a breath, this kid finally agreed not to join the French, as for the Jew and the Prussian, I believe that they dare not embarrass the British Empire, thinking of this, self-confidence returned to him.

Young Master Liang nodded in approval, and said to the Englishman with a smile: "Mr. Robin, I admire your professionalism very much, and you Mr. Sweier have no vision or luck

Wrong, I found you, the senior class of the foreign bank. To be honest, I'm very interested in you, and if you want, we can set up a company in private partnership."

"Private cooperation? Absolutely, do you have a good suggestion? "When it comes to making money, Mr. Robin really works tirelessly.

Young Master Liang plans to give him a sweet date, which can't be suppressed too much, otherwise it will be easy to get hurt when it rebounds, after all, the British are really difficult to deal with: "I can privately invest one million taels of silver, we can set up the largest textile company in Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, no, it should be the largest textile company in Asia, including spinning, weaving, dyeing, garment and other production businesses, you see, with the sales channels of Tianbao and Swire and the population of more than 400 million in the Qing Dynasty, no matter how large the production volume can be sold, I think, it is difficult for such a company not to make money." 。

Luo Bin immediately became excited, indeed, the Qing Dynasty has a huge market, the British textiles are now selling well in the Qing Dynasty, and have become the most important commodity exported by the British to the Qing Dynasty (he automatically filtered the opium), and then he became depressed, he was too fucking bullying, this kid is too rich, it is a million taels of silver at every turn, although he has made a lot of money in Guangzhou in recent years, but now all his assets are less than 300,000 taels of silver, and the cash he can take out will not exceed 200,000 taels of silver, this share is too little, When the time came, he saw that most of the silver was put into people's pockets, oh buy it, it must have been very heartbreaking, but he immediately agreed to this cooperation, and first got the opportunity to make money and then said: "Dear Ronnie, you are really my god of wealth, God brought you to my eyes, I will not waste this wonderful opportunity."

Yes, it's just that you pay 1 million is too much, you don't need so much money to invest in a textile company, so let's do it, I'll pay 20, uh, no, I'll pay 300,000 (he gritted his teeth, it's a big deal to get a mortgage or find a friend to borrow), you pay 700,000, a total of 1 million taels of silver, this company is already the largest textile company in Asia."
