Chapter 102: Temptation to Profit
Qin Chuan was very satisfied with the Aldington that Hann found: "Listen to Han, you studied in the UK?" β
Sensing that Aldington was still a little restrained, Qin Chuan looked at Hann with a smile and motioned for Hann to translate to Aldington. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Qin Chuan spoke German, Hann was busy relaying it in English, Aldington exhaled lightly, smiled embarrassedly and replied in English and nodded yes.
Qin Chuan is still proficient in German, while Aldington does not know German, in order to communicate effectively, of course, out of the need for confidentiality, the cautious Qin Chuan still adopts the practice he did when he met Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang last time.
Qin Chuan looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "I still have to hurry, just say if you have any questions." β
The shiny and delicate watch on Qin Chuan's wrist immediately attracted Aldington's attention, obviously this Aldington is also a well-informed person, although he is a little poor now, but after all, he has a family background.
Aldington swallowed, a little nervous and at a loss for a moment.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan raised his glass: "Mr. Aldington, we meet for the first time today, may we cooperate happily, let's have a toast first." β
Aldington and Hann both drank the roasted knives from northern China, although the wine was very strong, but Hann and Aldington both drank half a glass in one gulp, and Qin Chuan just took a sip of the somewhat astringent rice wine and put down the glass.
With this half glass of wine to strengthen his courage, Aldington no longer hesitated, and asked Qin Chuan after sorting out his thoughts a little.
"Dear Mr. Qin, may I ask you, although the Owen Bank I am going to work to is a real bank registered by Mr. Hann at your behest, oh, it should be a real bank in law to be exact, but there is no real head office in that South American country in Chile. Now, if you want me to open another branch in Seoul, North Korea, with your money, it would not be a big deal, but I think it's very risky to ask me to buy at high interest rates in North Korea in the name of discovering some big silver mine in Chile that requires a huge amount of development funds. β
The more Aldington spoke, the more fluent his words became: "Dear Mr. Qin, because according to Mr. Hann, the monthly interest in North Korea is 5 percent, the interest in March is 20 percent, and the half-year interest is an astonishing 60 percent. β
"So, I think I'm personally going to take a lot of risks, maybe even a crime. Although the annual salary you gave me was extremely high, it turned out to be the high salary of 10,000 Eagle Oceans that I dreamed of, but I γγγγγγ β
Regarding Aldington's worries, Qin Chuan thought it was normal, and if he agreed without objection, it would not be normal.
Qin Chuan smiled and said: "Young Mr. Aldington, I like your frankness very much, you have such an idea to explain two things: first, your study in a British university has given you a wealth of knowledge; Second, show that you are a very frank gentleman. I want to say once again, I'm glad to get to know you. β
Qin Chuan reached out and took out a cigarette, and Han En hurriedly took out a box of matches and lit it for Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan took a puff of his cigarette and said, "I can tell you that no matter how this bank ends, you will not bear any charges, because we have never committed a crime." If the bank ends up failing for some unpredictable and unstoppable reason, it is beyond your control as a manager, so you will not be charged with any crimes. And we didn't rob anyone, and we didn't even force anyone to deposit money in our bank, and anyone who came to your bank in the DPRK to deposit money was voluntary, and to put it bluntly, they voluntarily deposited money in your bank for high interest rates. β
"So, even if you can't repay the depositor for some reason, it's fraud at best."
Qin Chuan looked at Aldington slyly and smiled: "As far as I know, don't say that in Chile, even in the United Kingdom, there is no crime of fraud at all, especially since this matter has nothing to do with the United Kingdom, and the Chilean government does not have the energy and ability to treat us." β
"As for the reason for the high interest rate of this bank under the guise of developing a big silver mine, I can't tell you yet, but I can assure you that I, Qin Chuan, will never let Mr. Aldington do something that is unacceptable in conscience."
"If you're willing to work with us, then just do what I say, and it won't take more than a year, to be specific, at the end of July next year, and I'll give you an extra Β£10,000 if you want to go back to England or any other country."
"Oh, twenty thousand pounds!"
As soon as Qin Chuan's words fell, Hann and Aldington both exclaimed in a low voice at the same time, and Aldington's face turned red with excitement. You must know that the pound is now on the gold standard, and 10,000 pounds is a lot of money in Britain, which is converted into silver, that is, nearly 50,000 taels.
Qin Chuan ignored the emotional changes of the two, but continued to take care of himself: "You are studying finance, this is exactly what our country, to be exact, I need it, I will soon open a bank in Tianjin that is destined to be the largest and most powerful Western bank in our country, if you are willing to join, I can arrange a corresponding position for you in my bank according to your ability in a year, and the annual salary can be tentatively set at 36,000 Yingyang." Of course, this is only the initial salary, and if you prove your ability, your salary will be increased. β
The annual salary of 36,000 Yingyang is almost 100 Yingyang a day, such a good treatment is extremely difficult to get even in Europe and the United States, and the conditions offered by Qin Chuan are not unfavorable.
Seeing Aldington's blushing face and being silent, Hann was a little anxious to open his mouth to urge, but was stopped by Qin Chuan.
It took a long time for Aldington, who looked excited, to let out a long breath and nodded firmly in agreement.
"Dear Mr. Qin, I accept your invitation."
"Good!"
Qin Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, took a hard puff on his cigarette, reached out and took out a few silver tickets from his underwear pocket and handed them to Han En.
"Han, this is a silver ticket of 10,000 eagles, you will go to Lishunde in a while, in the name of Sir Aldington, the manager of the branch of the Bank of Owen in Daqing and North Korea, you will charter two rooms, and officially play the sign of the office of the Bank of Owen in East Asia, Aldington will live in Lishunde tonight, and I will not go back to you. As for the personnel, tomorrow you and Li Mingfang will go to Jin Lisan of the Tianjin branch of Dadeheng to discuss, and ask him to help find a few reliable people, and in addition, you can find your friend Gao Lin and ask him to help find a few foreigners who understand finance. β
"Also, in a moment you will go to the foreign bank and buy a few more decent sets of clothes and belongings, and then I will prepare a large sum of money for Aldington and you as capital to open a branch in North Korea, and then wait for my news. Now Min Chengjun, the superintendent of the royal household office of North Korea, has come to Tianjin, and I will go to see him in a while, and I will say to him that you and Aldington will go to North Korea with Min Chengjun, and I will find a way to let this Min Chengjun help you, and when that branch is built, you will come back as soon as possibleγγγγγγ β
While listening to Qin Chuan's advice, Hann couldn't stop translating to Aldington.
Qin Chuan carefully explained some details to Hann, and then called the bartender to settle the bill, and got up and walked out of the tavern with Hann and Aldington.
After watching Hann and Aldington leave in a hurry, Qin Chuan got into the first rickshaw that had been waiting outside, Chu Yunfei and Xu Tong were still sitting in the second car, Qin Chuan lightly slapped the car board with his foot, and the driver who pulled the car immediately turned the front of the car and pulled the car hard, and after the car started, he accelerated his pace and quickly trotted up.
Since I want to rent the world to Tianjin City, I have to walk along the road when Qinchuan came on Baoshun Road.
At this time, there were already more drinkers in the tavern on the side of the road, and Qin Chuan, who was sitting in the car, inadvertently looked at the tavern on the side of the road, and suddenly a familiar face fell into his eyesγγγγγγ
