Chapter 1190: China's Influence

Wang Li smiled and talked with Schleier for a whole day, the Germans obviously did not simply come to seek advice, but more hope that China will continue to exert influence, especially after the huge Chinese fleet visited Germany, England, the Netherlands, and Spain, and the whole of Europe has been conquered by this fleet full of mystery and amazing victories!

However, he is very clear that Premier Qin has always made it clear about the use of the Chinese fleet that this will be an opportunity to demonstrate China's strength to the world, but it is obviously not in the plan of this epic global peace journey to let the Chinese shed blood for the benefit of the white people! Of course, he agreed to the request of the Germans very calmly and immediately!

When the telegram was sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing on 7 February, and Chen Jitong forwarded it to Qin Kai's desk at the Prime Minister's Office that afternoon, he was engrossed in processing a proposal sent by the Ministry of Commerce, and this proposal gave him a very surprised hint.

The proposal was not initiated by He Xing, the minister general of commerce, but a joint proposal from the National Assembly, led by Yu Qiaqing, a member of the small party in Shanghai, who united 47 members of parliament to seconded the proposal, including nearly 30 members of the Baath Party in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and the content of the proposal was a major event related to domestic finance.

Since Qin Kai entered Beijing, as a person who has traveled through the world, he is well aware of the importance of finance, especially in the industrial age, so soon Nanyang Bank has become a national bank without any suspense, and then according to Qin Kai's arrangement, Nanyang Bank has reorganized its wealth, and has successively established the Bank of China based on Nanyang Bank, as well as China Development Bank, Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank and other three major banks. In just ten years. With the huge capital and unparalleled financial credit of the Nanyang system. From the financial market, it has completed the comprehensive control of domestic finance.

With the national credit as the guarantee of the national bank, it soon laid a deep foundation with the continuous and rapid laying of the new policy, coupled with the popular patriotic education and the new government has achieved one success after another, in just seven or eight years, the original ruling inland local ticket number system has been completely defeated, such as Fukang Yinhao such a super predator also followed the trend and merged into the state-owned bank, some small ticket numbers are directly out, transferred to other industries.

and foreign banks in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Beijing and other places. Although still in operation, with the rise of the Big Four banks and the decline in state loans, there has long been no basis for relying on comprador bureaucrats to make profits, and the larger business of foreign banks has turned to China's fast-growing overseas trade to compete with Chinese banks in foreign exchange transactions.

Now the proposal put forward by the congressmen is aimed at the private banks that survive in the cracks, because the "Banking Law" passed by the National Assembly set a high threshold for the banking industry, and at the same time, in order to prevent the collapse of private banks, Qin Kai also deliberately set up a relatively high margin system. So, despite the rapid economic growth in the last decade or so. However, the growth of the financial industry is actually not huge.

The proposal proposes to relax the restrictions on the scale of private banks, relax the upper limit of interest rates, etc., and the proposal appeared at this point in time, Qin Kai naturally speculated about the reason, ten years of compound development of the national economy, it can be said that in the coast, especially the families and consortia that were attached to the Nanyang system earlier, still accumulated enough wealth, so the industry that makes money with money naturally began to attract attention.

However, the consequences of the rise of the financial industry, Qin Kai can be more profound than these parliamentarians who initiated the proposal, once a large amount of money into the bank, especially the profit-oriented funds, the impact and results, today's British Empire is a true portrayal, capital has never flowed to the space of high profits, and has no direct relationship with the people's livelihood and people's capital.

This young parliamentarian named Yu Qiaqing, in fact, Qin Kai has naturally heard of this name, but it was in the parallel space where he used to be, this Ningbo native who was on the beach and started an apprenticeship, once crisscrossed the beach for decades in the name of the merchant gang, but it may be that the changes are too drastic now, and Qin Kai did not expect that this person would appear in the parliament as a small political party...... It seems that the tide will not be annihilated by the great waves of history.

Qin Kai carefully flipped through the proposal of more than 100 pages, and at the back of the proposal, there was also a detailed construction book for the establishment of a private industrial and commercial bank.

Soon, the guard officer Hong Hai sent the materials of the Intelligence Department on this batch of motions, among the 47 councillors, 12 are from the big compradors in Shanghai, and nearly 20 are members of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, a non-governmental organization, and Yu Qiaqing, who made the proposal, does not have the identity in Qin Kai's memory, but only runs a steamship company called Ningshao in Shanghai, and is also an independent member of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

As for Song Hanzhang, who wrote the book of preparing for the establishment of the building, to Qin Kai's surprise, he turned out to be the deputy manager of the Shanghai branch of the China Construction Bank, and he was also a member of the Shanghai branch of the Fuxing Association...... However, his train of thought was quickly interrupted by Wu Tingfang, who rushed over.

"Prime Minister, Wang Li sent a telegram that the British had a tough attitude, and the Germans are now a little indecisive, worried that the French may be a little unable to bear it! I think we need to issue a formal diplomatic note to deal with possible problems in Europe! Wu Tingfang held up the telegram and spoke loudly about his considerations.

Qin Kai looked at the veteran cadre of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and now the European affairs that are now intensifying are under his full control for the time being, and at present, it seems that the progress of the first qiΔ“ is in an orderly manner, and Germany and France have reached a temporary agreement at least on the issue of Britain, "Wenjue, sue sΓΉ Wang Li, the key to solving the problem of Jisanja lies in one word...... Drag! If you think carefully about the strength of the British and their problems, Germany and France dragged on because they lost limited benefits, while the British, in addition to the Nile Basin, they also looked at the Transvaal and Orange! ”

Wu Tingfang nodded, but after thinking about it for a while, he was still a little uneasy, "Prime Minister, this is already the best plan at present, however, I am still worried that the Germans are not resolute enough, and the feud between the French and the Germans may be a big problem!" ”

Qin Kai naturally agrees with this careful consideration, and in the history he is familiar with, the French eventually fell to the United Kingdom, the former biggest rival, because of the feud with Germany, of course, Britain's strong military and global influence are also a factor...... And now that he has seized on the conflict in Gisanja and successfully put Germany and France in the same circle of interests, the crux of the problem is whether the British can come up with enough interests and strength to make the French choose.

Therefore, every effort must be made to curb this possibility...... Although there may not be an absolute guarantee of doing your best, there is no 100% chance of victory in any war, including diplomatic wars!

"The British are still gloriously isolated, and we must make full use of this to make the French realize that it is better to make an agreement with the British enforceable than to faithfully fulfill the Berlin Agreement, so that the French will not give in lightly!" Qin Kai thought about it for a moment, and then said his judgment...... Of course, the specific implementation depends on the deputy director Wu Tingfang.

Two days later, at the G-8 meeting in Berlin, Wang Li, the Chinese minister to Germany, who had never expressed his position positively, strongly put forward China's voice to all countries......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ China supports all treaties concluded on equal terms, and it shares the view that the right to defend treaties cannot be based on military action...... China condemns violations of national treaties and is willing to provide the necessary support for building relations between countries on an equal footing. ”

In addition to the British frowning, French Minister Brisson and German Foreign Minister Schleier were secretly pleased, although the Chinese side did not make it clear what support was necessary, but this was enough to make the British fully attach importance to the Berlin mediation conference, after all, there was a British nobleman in the Far East who could not control it, but it was very needed.

The British Minister to Germany, Lubet, did not make a clear statement that day, but only bluntly suggested that all countries should give full consideration to Britain's position, otherwise the mediation conference on the interests of the whole of Africa would be useless...... However, after the mediation meeting, which ended in a hurry, British Minister Lube personally came to the Chinese Consulate to meet with Wang Li, the minister in Germany.

After a brief politeness, Lubey's topic was already full of gunsmoke, "Minister, I am here today to communicate with your country on behalf of Prime Minister Salisbury, you know, the British Empire will never allow losses that endanger national interests in African interests, we hope to understand your country's requirements in African interests, and at the same time, hope to reach a mutually beneficial cooperation agreement with your country!" ”

Mutual benefit...... When Wang Li heard these two words, he immediately became interested, no matter how blunt the British are, but it is enough to make the British put forward the word mutual benefit, which is enough to demonstrate China's current diplomatic status, but his position today is to let the entire West understand the principles of dealing with China in the future!

He immediately reiterated sternly: "Minister Lubey, China also participated in mediation at the invitation of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and France, so our position is actually very simple and clear, the British Empire should naturally obtain benefits commensurate with its national strength, but if your country insists on completely overturning the contents of the Berlin Agreement, Beijing is worried that it may be difficult to maintain the status quo in the future for the continental interests of France, Britain, and even the Russian Empire in the Far East!" ”
