The busiest person now is James, first confirmed with Han Xin the location of the need to buy the land, and then went to the administrative officer to discuss the purchase of the land, fortunately, the administrative officer was very concerned about this matter, contacted the owner of the land, and even threatened and threatened, and finally bought it at a reasonable price. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The owner of the land is a Chinese, so Zhang Wei asked not to push the price too low, just at a reasonable price, anyway, there is a market appraisal price, and there are other prices around the land to be compared, so that no one suffers, and in the end the seller can accept it, and the political officer is also more satisfied, James did not force him to lower the price, did not let him do difficult things, the transaction was easily reached, and it was considered to have fulfilled his promise.

As for the payment, now Zhang Wei is not worried, and pays directly in gold.

After getting the title deed, James began to be busy contacting the planning and design team, but also contacting the construction team, Zhang Wei's request is to bid, and at the same time select several construction teams to construct at the same time, which can save a lot of time, but in this way, the quality requirements for project management workers have been improved a lot.

The first to return was Daniel, the representative of the British Governor in Singapore, who fully agreed to the Rule 2 option, and after a long-term cooperation agreement was signed, Daniel, the representative returned to Singapore. In the British mind, as long as normal business is good, no one in the world dares to hack the gold and silver of the British government; So they weren't worried that James was running away with gold and silver at all, but that it was too late, could James still have so much gold here? This time, it is true that the Governor of Singapore sent someone to intervene, but as long as it is operational, the Governor of Hong Kong, the Governor of India, the Governor of Burma, and the Governor of Australia and New Zealand will all trade gold and silver here. Now it's just a test to see if James's service is timely, whether the supply is sufficient, and whether the quality of the gold is up to standard. As the world's largest gold trading market, London has a huge demand for gold.

Zhang Wei was very happy that the British government chose the second plan to operate, as long as there was the first one, the others would be easy to do, and the British could also lead other countries and businessmen to store silver here with confidence first. Even the British are not afraid, so what is there to be afraid of? What is needed is a herd mentality.

Delegates from other countries have traveled long distances and may arrive a few days later.

However, there is an uninvited guest, Yamaguchi Mortgage from Japan, he is on behalf of the Japanese government to negotiate the exchange of gold, Japan is the implementation of the gold standard financial policy, but Japan has very few gold mines, and there are many silver mines, a large amount of silver is produced every year, and the Qing government compensates for silver, so it needs to be exchanged for gold, and the price of James is so attractive.

After James' report, Zhang Wei said: "Exchange, we are doing business, since they exchange, then we can't shirk it, otherwise it will affect the credibility, buying and selling is buying and selling, politics is politics, besides, Japan is a big customer." ”

James said, "Yes, young master, they chose the second option. “

"It's all the same, it's all pretty much the same for us. Then let him bring the silver, and we don't limit the amount to Japan, just let them exchange it. “

"Yes, young master"

Zhang Wei thought to himself, I just hope that Japan can transport more silver, preferably all the silver from the whole country, so that I can exchange more points, and with the points, I can also exchange the soldiers and warships to recover Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands.

Zhang Wei knew that the silver and gold he was exchanging now were not enough to cause fluctuations in international prices, so he exchanged them in large quantities without scruples, hoping to strengthen his strength in the shortest possible time.

........................

Recently, major gold exchange customers have received invitations to visit the Bank of Asia on October 10, 1905 for the opening ceremony of the Bank of Asia.

The bank address is tentatively located at James Manor.

The opening ceremony was attended by major merchants from various countries and Pontianak, representatives who came to negotiate the exchange of gold, and Pontianak government officials.

James asked, "Young Master, are we inviting fewer people?" Do you want to invite more consuls from several countries to attend our opening ceremony? ”

"No need at all, we have already made profits, interests will tie everyone together, as long as our gold quality is good, timely delivery, there will be more and more customers, no need to invite those consuls, anyway, the consuls of various countries know our business, and have sent representatives to negotiate, there is no need to invite again." It's okay to have these businessmen publicize it, let's just have a trial operation, there is no need to be too grand, just let them come and see our 100 tons of gold, and their hearts will be steady, and they will believe in our strength, even if the purpose is achieved. ”

"Yes, young master, the previous customers didn't dare to mention that they would deposit silver here, they just didn't believe in our strength, if they saw that there were 100 tons of gold reserves, those merchants would be able to store the silver here first, and our business would be better."

"Besides, when the time comes, we will exhibit 100 tons of gold, and we have invited too many government dignitaries, in case something happens at that time, we can't afford it, so let's keep a low profile, mainly for people who have business with us, so that they can rest assured that our strength is there, and there is no other purpose. You go and discuss the security issue with Staff Officer Han again, the rest of the matter is yours, and I won't come forward. ”

"Yes, young master"

James goes to Han Shin to discuss security. Zhang Wei has a system map, and there are so many soldiers in the system, there is no need to be afraid of ordinary robbery at all, but the surface article still has to be done.

At 10 a.m. on October 10, the Bank of Asia soft opening ceremony began, starting with a speech by the Pontianak Administrator, congratulating the establishment of the Bank of Asia and welcoming everyone to Pontianak to invest and set up factories. Then James gave a speech, promising that the customers who attended the ceremony today would each increase their exchange quota by 10,000 kilograms; In addition, it was announced that the United Kingdom and Japan had entered into a long-term exchange business with the Bank, both of which were the second clause of the election; I hope that everyone believes in the strength of Bank of Asia, the initial registered capital is 100 tons of gold, if the business is carried out well, the company headquarters will continue to expand the capital injection of the bank; Customers who attended the ceremony today will be able to visit the 100 tonnes of gold that is now in the underground vault; Then there's the lunch buffet.

The Bank of Asia has officially started, and no one would have predicted that today's small point will become a giant crocodile controlling the world's finance in the future.
