Chapter 685: Attracting Investment

Two hours later, in the secret reception room. The two Yankee bank representatives www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion met with a spring breeze on their faces and Mrs. Jensen, who was also radiant. Previously, because of the purchase of penicillin during the Civil War, Jenson had dealt with people on the Yankee's secret front, and they both knew each other's appearances, so there was no need to continue to hide their identities.

"There is no contradiction between the fact that we work for the Yankees, but at the same time, we are also employees of the bank. This time I came to Shandong to purchase strategic materials for the Yankee army under the entrustment of the government. Specifically, it is a strong pill, and there are also mines. ”

"Let me start by asking, how do you know about the existence of these two materials? Are you sure that the weapon of mine is owned by Shandong? ”

The slightly older Yankee man smiled, "Don't be joking, our country also has its own intelligence agency in Shandong, and throughout the Battle of Weifang, there were always observers from our country on the front line to collect information." At Tessie, we have more staff, and Mrs. Jenson is well aware of this. The sudden explosion of three newly-built steam warships in Albion during the pursuit of the Prussian assault fleet may not be clear to your country, but it is no secret to the countries of Tessie. We have carefully investigated and determined that the cause of the explosion of these three warships was a mine, and it was a new calibrated depth, a new mine set according to the fixed draft. After repeated investigations, it has been confirmed that this weapon came from Shandong. I don't think you want to tell me that it was Prussia's makeshift arsenal in Qingdao that made them."

Zhao Guanhou also smiled, "Okay, don't tell lies in front of real people, I made the mines, I admit it." But aren't the Yankees neutral, and what do they do when they buy these things? ”

"On the issue of national defense, there is no comment. We can only say that the Yankee Navy, from the very beginning, was aimed at creating a fully vaporized fleet. Your Excellency's invention will have a serious adverse impact on the future development of our navy. Therefore, we not only have to purchase mines, but also buy out all the technology, including the existing production line. The production line of the pill should have been bought by the Albians, who always like to be the first to go. But it doesn't matter, we can strengthen cooperation in other areas. ”

In exchange for the purchase of mines, the Yankee government would lend 20 million yuan to Shandong in the name of humanitarianism, and the money would be remitted directly to Huabi's account without going through the Ministry of Finance. The interest is only three cents, which is not much different from this kind of interest in the current environment. Zhao Guanhou naturally has no reason to be unreasonable, anyway, there is no problem with selling the production line drawings and so on to Yankee for such things as mines, and there is no problem.

The Yankees do not have the mentality of a one-shot deal for this business, but plan to cooperate for a long time. In addition to the purchase of mines, Yankee's other proposal was to cooperate with Zhao Guanhou to set up a factory in Shandong and inject funds into the Shandong Arsenal. In return, Zhao Guanhou will have new weapons research and development in the future, and the Yankee will have the right of priority in procurement, patent application, and buyout.

After the Civil War, the Yankees themselves were also greatly damaged, and in the war, a large number of soldiers died on the battlefield. The combat qualities of the recruits were insufficient, and it would have been difficult for the Yankee army to gain a place among the Tessian powers if it had been in the traditional model. Therefore, the sword will take the edge of the sword, and the research and development of new military technology and new weapons will be regarded as the development direction of the army in the future.

Zhao Guanhou successively improved mines, retained ammunition, and developed mines and ironclad artillery trucks, which attracted enough attention from the Yankees. They are no longer satisfied with just buying the finished product, but buying this brain. Shandong's own industrial base may not be supported, and the follow-up weapon improvement, the cooperation between the two companies, one to produce ideas, and the other to enjoy the results, can be regarded as a win-win situation for each other.

Of course, Zhao Guanhou will not object to the Yankees' proposal. What Shandong needs most now is money, and as long as the Yankees can provide funds, everything is negotiable. Judging by the actions of the Yankees, the time for this country to send troops may not be too long. He was wondering if he could take advantage of this again and get some more benefits back?

By the time the negotiations between the two sides were preliminarily completed, the time had come to the evening, and the grand reception banquet in Shandong had officially begun. The giant businessmen from the southeast, the local businessmen from Shandong, and the young ladies who went to Jinan to "observe the war" before were all invited to the venue.

During the fighting on the front line in Weifang, these young ladies in Jinan were also busy. Because Shandong pursues autonomy and does not have such a strict religious environment as the capital, men and women can walk together generously, watch movies, go to restaurants, and even go to small hotels and rooms without anyone asking. Marriage and divorce are all voluntary, and people from other provinces can also get a marriage certificate as long as they are sure that both men and women are willing and pay a few yuan of production cost.

Men and women who have lost their restraints are like wild horses, and many of them indulge in chasing women, or enjoy the life of chasing men. In addition to their interactions, local female students, policemen, and even female journalists, as well as young talents, newspaper people, or young and handsome military cadets are all within the scope of hunting. This young lady is confident that there is someone behind her, and she acts boldly, and she has made a lot of trouble in Jinan.

desperately chased the female congresswoman who was Bingqing Yujie, but in the end found out that she was an unlucky person from Beilizhong; chased the policewoman and was finally put in a temporary prison by the other party, and there were also those who had to come forward on bail for ten grids; The two sides saw the right lightning marriage, and a few days later, there were a lot of lightning divorces.

Although the president gave an order and a telegram came from home, they still had travel expenses, and they were not willing to leave this indulgent life and return to the capital that followed the rules. Especially recently, people have come to their respective families, ostensibly to escort their own children back, but in fact, they have other plans. They are happier to stay a few more days and enjoy a few more good days.

Although the family can't be as crazy as in the past after the family comes, the concubine is better than stealing, and the excitement of this adventure makes these men and women even more delicious. For example, this dance party is an opportunity to find new friends and have a final party.

Some people have decided to stay in Shandong to pursue or defend their sacred love and the more sacred freedom of divorce and marriage, which requires work, and to find a job, it is naturally arranged by Zhao Guanshuai, which is the most convenient and easy. There are even some young ladies who hope to seize the last opportunity to linger with the youngest marshal of the Communist Party of China overnight and leave a romantic memory before leaving Shandong.

At the beginning of the banquet, Zhao Guanhou was the target surrounded by everyone, and the combat effectiveness of the women's army was particularly fierce, and they actually squeezed all the men into the outer circle, and at the same time used leather shoes to crush the feet of those men who were competing for positions with them, repeatedly. Even the wives of the Zhao family can't squeeze them a little.

The rich people from the southeast also know the identities of these men and women, and the power behind them is even clearer. Seeing so many young ladies and young ladies of the son, they all revolved around Zhao Guanhou, especially those famous ladies, their eyes lit up when they saw the handsome, and they were very close. There are also those who are bold, to pull this Shibo, who is not a few years older than himself, holding his arm with his jade hand, leaning his head over and coquettishly, feeling more and more unfathomable Shandong.

With so many cabinet bigwigs standing on the platform, Shandong's future development is unlimited. Even if you make less money in the local business in Shandong, as long as you can get in touch with these bigwigs in the capital and get an approval or pass back, in other fields, you are still worried about making a fortune? This trip to Shandong proved that it was the right one, and the southeast economy, which had been hit by rubber stocks and the economic downturn in Taixi, had to look at this trip to Shandong if it wanted to revive and take off.

Around Zhao Guanhou, there is no place for these rich people, and they are mainly received by Shandong localities. Meng Siyuan and Zou Xiurong's social skills are not bad, Xia Manjiang is a staff member, and he can communicate with others. But when it comes to making everyone feel like a spring breeze and think that he is the most important VIP of the handsome, he has to be a professional like Sai Jinhua.

She brought a group of celebrities in the Shandong flower industry, social athletes, not only outstanding appearance, but also the title of Shandong Provincial Councilor on his head, which made this rich man feel face. After all, grinding with the legislators, and even going on a blind date, not only has a bright face, but maybe you can also find out the inside story of some economic policies in Shandong, right?

Sai Jinhua herself, who has both the identity of the champion wife and the qualifications of the world marshal's wife, now has the title of Zhao Guanhou's outer room. Whether it is an old-school character or a foreign-style businessman, she has a common language. Even the two Yankee envoys, she can still talk and laugh, play and scold, and deal with the scene very thoroughly.

With the performance of the foreign band, the dance party officially began. Zhao Guanhou is like Tang monk meat, several famous banshees pulled his arm and didn't let go, Jiang Fengzhi was so angry that he almost rushed over and beat people. At this time, I saw Chen Lenghe, who was dressed in an evening dress, with elegant steps and a smile and stretched out his hand, "Darling, the first dance, I hope you dance with me." ”

Zhao Guanhou politely parted the crowd, and the few girls hanging on his arms only felt inexplicable, and their arms were thrown away. Then I saw Zhao Guanhou bow to the beautiful woman, "Willing to serve." ”

Looking at the perfect match of the two talented women, no matter how arrogant these eldest ladies are, they have to admit that their plans are about to fail.

This pair of men and women are far superior to others in terms of appearance and bearing, and secondly, they dance beautifully and cooperate with each other intimately, and others can't get in at all. The daughters of the Zhao Mansion mostly had unsightly faces, Yuqing gritted her teeth slightly, and Jiang Fengzhi muttered in a low voice, "Will the tiger girl miss me?" I'd better go home and see the girl first, and if I don't stay here, I won't jump anyway. Cheng Yue, can you go...... Huh? Why didn't you cry properly? Heaven and earth conscience, I didn't bully you. ”

Jin Manyun, who came from Weifang Field Hospital, watched the dancing of the two and couldn't help but look at Su Hanzhi beside him. She was specially pulled by Su Hanzhi to sit with her. Living in the mansion, she is used to seeing this kind of wives and concubines competing for favor, at this time, the eldest woman's mood is mostly sad and depressed but helpless. Jin Manyun, who had already been overwhelmed by Su Hanzhi's personality charm, felt obligated to say a few fair words.

"Auntie, I don't think it's right for Shibo to do this, the first dance should be you, the eldest lady, dancing with him."

Su Hanzhi smiled slightly, "You always call me aunt, I will be old, and when the time comes, it will not be my turn to dance for the last time." Remember, call sister. You Sister Leng He is from Songjiang, we all have to let her, Gege, do you think this is the reason? ”

She glanced back at Cheng Yue again, "It's rude to let others see you crying, why don't you go to the bathroom to touch up your makeup?" We are here to support the crown today, not to cause trouble, and everyone is not allowed to mess around. The purpose of today's dance is to raise funds for Shandong, and everyone cheers up and doesn't hold back the crown marquis. ”

She is usually a person who swallows water, and her limelight in the inner house is far less than that of Yuqing. But as soon as these few words were said, showing the demeanor of an eldest woman, even Yuqing was a little weak, feeling that she had underestimated Su Hanzhi during this time.

Then I heard her say again: "When this dance is finished, starting from the ten grids, everyone will go over one by one to dance with Guanhou, otherwise, those young ladies will rush up, and he will have a headache." ”

Jiang Fengzhi nodded, "No problem, I'm sure I won't let those little vixens have a chance!" But, what about you, sister? Aren't you jumping? ”

Su Hanzhi smiled slightly, "The dance party is very long, you have one song, you can't even use half of the time, what should I do with the rest of the time?" Of course, I am the one who accompanies the crown marquis. The first dance belongs to Leng He, and the last one is naturally me. ”
