"Borrowing money from foreigners?"

This is no joke!

Guo Songtao was shocked and asked, "Brother, can this work?" Can they lend it to us? Even if they can lend it to us, foreigners have always been cunning, what should we do if we are trapped? They're unreasonable! ”

Guo Ye laughed and said, "Big brother, maybe they don't lend it to others, but if I come forward, there will definitely be no problem!" Also, they can pit others, but if they want to pit me, they don't have the ability to overturn me, I let them beat the chickens and eggs, and they have nothing to lose! ”

Guo Songtao's heart tightened, wipe, this kid is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, don't really make anything happen......

Guo Songtao then asked: "However, if you want to borrow money from foreigners, how can you get it?" Who to look for? We're all in the dark. ”

Guo Ye smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll come!" The American minister Hua Ruohan is an old friend of mine, and Colt, a big businessman in the United States, is a partner with me, and the arms company that the two of us have built can make him earn a fortune of millions of taels of silver a year, and if I borrow some money from them, will they not agree? As for cheating me, Colt didn't have the guts, he still counted on me to make him a lot of money, 1.8 million taels of silver, he couldn't look down on it, these businessmen were very far-sighted, and they wouldn't care about this little money. “

Guo Songtao was completely shocked and asked, "What do you say, you cooperated with the Americans to establish an arsenal?" ”

Guo Songtao was the shogunate of Zeng Guofan, which specialized in materials and foreign affairs, and knew about the huge profits of Western weapons. This Guo Ye is inconspicuous and has already opened a huge arms company!

Guo Songtao asked, "Brother." You threw a huge factory to the Americans. Are you also reassured? Aren't you afraid that he will play tricks on you? ”

Guo Ye sneered: "Big brother, it's still the same sentence, unless he doesn't want the wealth in the future, he will rush to covet the profits, but Colt's ambition is definitely more than that, in order to be able to envelop me, he will not give me less." He even gave me a little more, because he knew that he could find a better collaborator without me, and if he left me, he wouldn't be able to get anything from the follow-up firearms technology. ”

Guo Songtao was completely speechless, what kind of person is this, not only the princes in the court who are obedient, but also the foreigners who are all cleaned up by him, where did he come from to have such a great ability?

"So what are you going to do?"

Guo Ye continued: "I have already sent a letter to Hua Ruohan. In about half a month, he will come to Jinan. When the time comes, I will formally propose a loan to him, and not only that, but I will also suggest that he take a stake in our bank, so that our principal will be stronger and support the construction of Shandong, then we will be more sure. ”

"And what's next?"

"What's next? Very simple! Once I have money, I will immediately put into construction, first Yanzhou coal mine and Laiyang iron mine development, within three years, to the two factories and mines to invest two million to three million taels of silver, and then raise funds, in Dengzhou to build Qingdao seaport, the entire Jimo into it, the three years of investment, will also be more than one million taels of silver, in addition to these three projects, that is, the construction of the arsenal, Colt has promised me, this year I am afraid that the time is too late, next year, will be in Jinan, or Jining to build an arsenal, It was used to produce Western muskets and equip the Qing army! ”

Guo Songtao calculated three things, that is, to invest more than five million taels of silver, which is an astronomical amount, plus the others are even larger, if you want these generated income to make up for it, it will take at least two or three years later.

Guo Songtao hesitated: "I'm afraid, it's still far away and can't quench the thirst of the near......"

Guo Ye laughed and said: "Big brother, you are too cautious, do you think that our bank, will only provide us with funds?" We're just pediatrics, my goal is to provide support for all those who want to do business or set up factories and mines, Shandong has been tax-free for two years to do business and set up factories, think about it, these businessmen are not crazy to borrow and do business? In two years, as long as we support the next two years, when the time comes, we will be rich. ”

Guo Ye stood up, poured a cup of tea for Guo Songtao, and then said: "Bank, bank, we call it Qianzhuang in China, the so-called bank, that is, to use the people's spare money to do great things, we have the principal of millions of taels of silver, well, the yamen also has to take out some money, within three months, nine provinces and ten states, all of them will open a semicolon, and lend at a small profit in the early stage, encourage these businessmen to do their voices, meager interest, plus the tax exemption policy, it is difficult for their business to make money!" In two years, they can accumulate a lot of money and develop in a snowballing way, and in two or three years, they will usher in a huge explosion! ”

Guo Songtao was excited by Guo Ye's passionate words, if Guo Ye's dream can be realized, as a political envoy, he will be enough to leave a strong mark in the annals of history.

Guo Ye continued: "Big brother, once I step down as governor of Shandong in the future, you will be the only candidate for succession, I will never allow anyone to get involved in this position, anyone who wants to come to pick peaches is impossible, even if he comes, I will toss him away!" ”

Guo Songtao smiled bitterly: "Brother, isn't it, so ruthless?" ”

Guo Ye snorted coldly and replied: "After several years of work, Shandong can improve slightly, if you want to dominate the Qing Dynasty, or occupy half of the Qing Dynasty's finances, it will take ten years, I will definitely not stay for such a long time, let others come?" Will they be able to make sure that my plan doesn't go out of shape? I don't want my hard work to be ruined, this position can only be yours, and no one can take it away! ”

Guo Songtao's heart is awe-inspiring, Guo Ye is not to pull the mountain, this is a suspicion to revitalize Shandong, for this ideal, he does not hesitate to stand up to his position, this is to stare at the huge pressure, once Shandong is rich, those powerful people must not squeeze their heads, I am afraid that the position of the governor of Shandong will become the most sought-after position, if you want to keep yourself, I don't know how many powerful people will be offended, this mind is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Guo Ye continued: "In the future, we will invest heavily in building the province's railway network and introducing Western railways, that is the bigger stroke, big brother, I'm afraid that when the time comes, it will be your turn to really show your talents, and this opportunity to leave a name in history is left to you!" ”
