On the afternoon of January 29, Zhang Wei sailed to Pontianak on a 1935 torpedo boat of the Navy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I arrived at Pontianak at 5 o'clock in the morning on the 30th, it was still dark in Pontianak at this time, and there was no one on the street.

Zhang Wei quickly rushed to James's manor under the escort of Long Tianlongdi and others, and James had been waiting in the manor for a long time.

After Zhang Wei washed up, James reported the transaction to Zhang Wei in detail.

"Your Majesty, this time, due to the rush of time, the silver from many countries cannot be transported here on time, as long as the silver escorted by the closer countries and regions arrives."

"It doesn't matter, there shouldn't be a war on Pontianak's side, and it won't affect the exchange here. Let's talk about the exchange this month in detail. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Portugal has sent 250 tons of silver, the United States has sent 600 tons of silver, and Belgium has sent 100 tons of silver. As for Japan, there are only 200 tons for the time being, and a large amount of silver will need to be delivered next month, and the same is true for Germany, which is too far away. ”

"That's a lot, but what about retail?"

"The retail market is basically saturated."

"In the future, we still have to go out and change the means of exchange, it's not that the world doesn't need gold, small merchants don't dare to cross such a long distance to exchange, big customers around the banks will naturally provide them with exchange services."

"Your Majesty, now the world is in chaos everywhere, the serfs of Tsarist Russia revolted, Britain, France and Germany are full of contradictions, and there is a war on our side, and the gold and silver ratio is now 1:35, do we want to adjust?"

"Don't adjust it first, you can notify those old customers, just say that after June 30th, adjust the exchange price, let them have a little benefit, and the number of exchanges will come up, we are short of money now, we would rather have less profits, but also a large number of exchanges, the important thing for us is the quantity."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand that. If this news gets out, the exchange volume in these months will be very large. ”

"Then we just have the money to clean up the Anglo-Dutch army, I've been worrying about this lately, now it's okay, James, it's all your credit."

Zhang Wei and James went to the basement.

"Your Majesty, this is only a part, the basement can't be opened, and the rest is put in the warehouse of the security camp."

Zhang Wei put all the silver into the system warehouse, and then went to the warehouse of the security camp, absorbed all the silver into the system warehouse, and exchanged it for points.

"James, this is our biggest exchange volume, this time we can earn 8 million points, get rich, get rich."

Zhang Wei exchanged the corresponding gold and put it in the basement, and these customers will take the gold away as soon as possible today and tomorrow.

After completing the exchange task, Zhang Wei asked James to send someone to secretly invite the commander of the 1st Division, the governor of West Kalimantan Province, and the director of the Commerce and Finance Bureau to have lunch together. As for James, it's enough to arrange the meals, hurry up and deal with the customers from all over the world, you don't have to accompany them.

James knew that the customers were waiting to pick up the goods and did not ink, so he instructed his subordinates to invite people separately, and specially explained that they would come secretly. The explanation for the kitchen is to let the chef come up with his own unique skills, and he must perform well at noon today, and there will be rewards for good performance.

In the morning, it is Belgium, a small country, that has been waiting for gold to be withdrawn, and it is also the first time to exchange, and I have contacted it before, and I have not believed that the price of large-scale exchange will be lower, and this time it is also an experimental exchange, so the clerk is very anxious, for fear that there will be a mistake, so I am waiting here when the time comes. James didn't ink, and immediately asked the members of the security battalion to carry the gold out according to the quantity on the receipt, and the Belgian clerk checked the quality and weight, and the Belgian clerk left happily after 1 hour. Whether it is quantity or quality, it meets the requirements, and there is no flaw in the quality, I believe that the King of Belgium will be very satisfied.

At lunchtime, Zhang Wei learned about the operation of the grain store, and reminded the director of the Bureau of Commerce and Finance that the price of selling to Chinese people in the future will remain unchanged, and the price of selling to non-Chinese such as natives should be increased by at least 30%, but these natives cannot be cheaper, even if the price is increased by 30%, it is much cheaper than buying from outside.

As for the first division, it is required to maintain a high fighting spirit, be able to go to the battlefield at any time, and be ready to fight at any time after arriving at the battlefield.

The government's requirements are to build more Chinese schools, actively promote Chinese, and make Chinese a common language in the world in the future; In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the infrastructure, now that there are so many indigenous people, they can be allowed to work hard, and those who do not obey orders can be dispatched by troops, and now the government also has a police force, so don't hold back when doing things; Strengthen the planting of rubber trees here, develop more rubber tree plantations, and build a high-level rubber processing plant here in the future; There is also the promotion of sugarcane planting and the establishment of sugar processing plants; After the defeat of the Dutch Kingdom, the Kingdom of Lanfang will carry out large-scale investment and construction here, and build Pontianak into a high-standard port and a modern city.

It was Japan who came to pick up the goods in the afternoon, and they had been waiting for the silver here for a long time, and they were very anxious, and they received a notice from James in advance, saying that they could withdraw the gold today, so they came to go through the formalities and withdraw the gold immediately after contacting the merchant ships and the escort fleet. James didn't talk nonsense, knowing that these people were anxious and couldn't ink, he immediately led the carriage to the exit of the basement and ordered the security camp members to carry the gold outside, and Yamamoto was extremely satisfied with the service attitude of James's side. Anyway, it has been redeemed many times, and the quality of the product is very assured, and it was loaded after a random inspection, and the number of James has never been bad for 1 gram, so that Yamamoto mortgage is also very assured.

After loading the carriage, Yamamoto mortgaged and said to James: "Your Excellency James, we still have a large amount of silver to exchange next month, can you guarantee that the exchange will be timely?" ”

"Your Excellency Yamamoto, don't doubt the quantity and quality, otherwise I would think it's a distrust of our company."

"Your Excellency Navy, you have misunderstood, I am worried that the war between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Lanfang will affect our transaction."

"You can rest assured about this, if there is a war around the next exchange, I will coordinate with the Lanfang Kingdom and allow you to send battleships to escort you, so that you can ensure safety."

"If that's the case, we're relieved."

"Your Excellency, as for whether you need battleship escort, this depends on the situation next month, and you will be contacted by telegram when the time comes. However, Your Excellency Yamamoto, I have just received a notice from the company that the company will increase the exchange ratio after June 30, and you also know that the international exchange ratio is now 1:35, in order to take care of the deep friendship between old customers and large customers and us, this exchange rate has been delayed for half a year, I hope you can understand. ”

"Your Excellency James, thank you so much for taking care of us, we will definitely redeem it in advance, thank you for your friendship with the Great Japanese Empire."

When Portugal and the United States withdrew gold, James also told them the decision that the gold would appreciate, and also reminded that if there is a war here next month, your country can send battleships to escort it according to the development of the situation, and James will communicate with the Kingdom of Lanfang at that time.

The representatives of Portugal and the United States said they would report to their superiors as soon as they returned.

After James was busy with the exchange of this horse, he sent a telegram to the big customers who had come here to exchange gold before, telling them that now the international gold and silver exchange ratio has increased, and the company will increase the gold exchange ratio from July 1 in order to take care of the old customers.

Zhang Wei took advantage of the night to leave Pontianak that night, and this trip was very fruitful, and now he is looking forward to fighting the Anglo-Dutch forces.
