Chapter 30: James's Ambition

On November 1, Zhang Wei scored 8,460 points for land, 26,300 points for population, and 4,300 points for colonial population. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhang Wei was secretly happy, it should be able to upgrade soon, as long as the place occupied on both sides of the Capuas River is full of 30 days, and it is recognized by the system, it can be upgraded, Zhang Wei also sighed, in the early stage, the system upgrade is still very smooth, and after upgrading to the provincial level, it will be very troublesome to upgrade again, and it is impossible to upgrade for decades or even a lifetime. The population score is still provided by the system synthesizers, and for these colonial populations, it must be the people on both sides of the Capuas River who are inconvenient to exchange for system points.

Recently, James has been very happy, since the beginning of October with the consuls or representatives of the governors of various countries to negotiate cooperation, these countries have sent silver one after another, and they are all ships of silver to this shipment, happy James can't close his mouth every day, smiling all day long.

It's just that Japan shipped 320 tons of silver at one time, and the transaction went smoothly, and Yamamoto Mortgage happily shouted "Roaring West". The system must be high-quality, not only in terms of weight, even if there is not a deduction of even one or two gold, but also the quality, it is also a well-known rod, and there is no flaw. When Yamamoto was leaving, he also said that he would build a long-term friendship and promise to redeem it every month, so that James could prepare for the supply.

The British Governor of Singapore sent Daniel to exchange it once, but the first time he only exchanged 100 tons of silver, and it was only more than 3 tons when it was counted as gold. Seeing that James was not very happy, Daniel hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency James, this time it was just that the Governor sent me to do an experimental exchange, I only heard about it before, after all, I have not exchanged it in person, this exchange is mainly to let the Governor see if the quality and quantity are as good as advertised, I believe that our cooperation will become bigger and bigger, if it is appropriate, Your Excellency the Governor is ready to recommend this business to Her Majesty, I believe that Her Majesty will also be very concerned about your business." ”

"Thank you, Lord Daniel, thank you, Your Excellency the Governor."

"Your Excellency Navy, believe me, if the Governor can accept our exchange, soon the Governor of India and the Governor of Burma will also send someone to visit Your Excellency, the distance from here back to the British mainland is too far, if it is exchanged for gold here, it can save more than 95% of the freight alone, this is definitely a good deal, rest assured."

"Thank you for your enlightenment, Lord Daniel, and please greet His Excellency the Governor on my behalf."

"Thank you for your greetings, Your Excellency James."

"Happy to work with"

"Happy to work with"

Both the Dutch Governor in Batavia and the U.S. Governor in Manila sent representatives to exchange gold, with the Dutch Governor exchanging 200 tons of silver and the U.S. Governor General exchanging 300 tons of silver.

Others, such as Portugal, Spain, Germany, etc., have come to exchange gold, although the amount is not large, but they have promised to gradually expand the scale of cooperation in the future.

However, just these made Zhang Wei happily shout "Made, rich", the face of the standard outburst, but the imagination is also, Zhang Wei in this world is a poor person, how can he see so much gold and silver? Zhang Wei in his previous life didn't have this opportunity, and now he really wants to sleep on gold and silver.

Zhang Wei fooled James and said, "Look at it, is the development momentum of our Asian bank very good?" If this trend continues, it won't be long before we can build Pontianak into the world's gold trading center, and everything else in London and New York will all stand aside. ”

"Yes, young master, these representatives who came to exchange have said that this is just an experimental exchange, and the scale of exchange will definitely be expanded in the future, our reputation is getting better and better, and the number of exchanges in the future will definitely increase exponentially, we don't have to do anything, just lie at home and count the money."

"Look at you, James, if you have this little ideal, then I'll replace them as soon as possible, it's just a drizzle, it's a small matter, the big business is still to come."

"Young master, I mean you can just lie at home and count the money, I still have to charge forward for the young master, and I want to earn more money for the young master, so that you can't spend it all. Our Bank of Asia must be the world's largest commercial bank, and our Pontianak must be the world's largest gold and silver trading center, building our Lanfang into the world's largest financial empire. James hurriedly explained.

"By the way, you have to find someone to quietly release the news, just say that silver will depreciate every year, and it will definitely depreciate next year, so that everyone must exchange silver for gold as soon as possible, so that they will be under pressure, and at the same time early next year, we will adjust the price once, adjust it to 1:34, and adjust it to 1:33 for large customers, and we will continue to adjust it the year after tomorrow, I believe that the silver of the world will flow into our pockets." But don't let people know that it's you who sent the news. ”

"Yes, young master, I will definitely handle this matter."

"You better go and discuss with Li Minmin what to do, he must be an expert in this area, much better than you alone."

"Yes, young master, I will go to him, if he can't do it, don't think about getting funds from me in the future. If he doesn't care about doing things for the young master, see how I fix him. ”

"Okay, if you have a heart, go earn money."

"Yes, young master"

After James came out of Zhang Wei's study, he went to find Li Minmin.

When Li Minmin saw James coming, he hurriedly greeted, "How can the God of Wealth have time to come to my small temple?" ”

"The young master asked me to send you a message just now, so I came to find you."

"What did the young master say?"

"The young master said that silver will depreciate every year, and it will definitely depreciate next year, so let's hurry up and exchange the silver area for gold. The young master asked you to spread the news, but you can't let people know that we spread it. “

"Where?"

"It doesn't matter where it goes, as long as you can exchange it for gold with us. But it's better to start from somewhere else, not Pontianak, so that no one can suspect us, right? “

"Then this matter is easy to do, it must not make people suspect us, I will let people start from London, Paris, New York and other places, so far away from us, who will doubt us." After a while, I will let the news also spread in Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore, Batavia and other places, and it will have nothing to do with us. “

"Great, that's it, thank you, Minister Li."

"Don't be busy thanking me yet, I still have something I need you to help me solve? Would you like to help? “

"What's the matter? You tell me first, otherwise how would I know if I'd like to help? “
