San diego. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Qin Lang received a special guest in his office: Jack•Morgan, John•Pierponte•Morgan's son, the next leader of the Morgan Consortium.

Qin Lang had seen him - when he was invited to his house for dinner by Morgan - but did not know him, but in fact, perhaps Jack•Morgan was not as famous as his father, but he was still a brilliant leader, and it was under his command that the Morgan consortium was smoothly divided into two major banks, JP Morgan and Morgan•Stanley.

In the world of finance and business, his talent is unquestionable.

Therefore, Qin Lang felt a little confused - why did he come to San Diego? And there was no news beforehand. If it were because of his letter to Morgan about radio, it would be a bit of a fuss; But if it was because of other things, Qin Lang couldn't think of anything else that could make him personally responsible.

In short, little Jack certainly didn't come to San Diego to sit on the company's board of directors, he must have had other purposes.

Qin Lang's confusion didn't last long.

"I came on my father's orders, Mr. Qin." After a few brief pleasantries, Little Jack began to explain his purpose to Qin Lang, "He has received the secret letter you wrote to him, and he appreciates your idea very much. My father asked me to tell you that he will select the best specialists to go to Italy. ”

"I look forward to hearing about the success of the operation." Qin Lang said quietly, and waited for Little Jack's next step.

"Of course, that's just one of the purposes I'm here." He continued, "My father decided to buy a piece of land in the Canton Bay Concession, so I'm about to go to China to take charge of this work, but before I go, my father and I would like to hear your opinion. ”

"Well, my opinion?" Qin Lang raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Morgan, with all due respect, I don't know much about finance. ”

"Like most Orientals, you have the virtue of humility, Mr. Qin." Little Jack complimented him without leaving a trace, smiled, and continued: "But what we want to know has nothing to do with finance, but there is one question that my father is not very sure about, and he thinks you can give him some advice." ”

"What's the problem?"

"My father wondered if the plan to buy land in Guangzhou Bay and open an office for Morgan was worth the big money he was investing in."

Qin Lang felt that the question was very illogical: if Morgan was going to buy land in Guangzhou Bay and open an office...... And in fact that not only did he decide, but he also put his own son in charge of it, and it is clear that he had already thought it carefully and carefully, and had long discussions with many analysts of the company.

There is no doubt that it was a plan with a very clear, and very positive conclusion, so why would Morgan still want his opinion?

This is simply illogical.

And one thing he was absolutely sure of was that little Jack didn't quite say what Morgan had planned. If Morgan only planned to buy land in Guangzhou Bay and open an office or branch, there would be no need for him to let his son be personally responsible, and there are countless people in the Morgan consortium who can do this kind of small thing.

So he must have other plans, but what exactly is it?

Qin Lang wanted to know.

Of course, he can't ask his own questions directly, he has to go around in circles.

"I'd love to provide a little bit of advice." Qin Lang said, "It's just that I think this plan, Mr. Morgan...... Your father must have had a long discussion with his thinkers and got a positive result. ”

"Yes." Little Jack doesn't deny it, but he emphasizes: "However, neither my father nor the company's brains have a deep understanding of China, so my father wants to know your opinion, Mr. Qin." ”

Qin Lang found this explanation interesting. Indeed, Morgan and his thinkers don't know enough about China...... And even not understand China at all. On the face of it, Jack's explanation makes perfect sense, but the question is, if Morgan really had such an idea, why would he wait until now, when he had already decided, to make a request?

At this moment, no matter what his opinion was, Qin Lang knew very well that it was impossible for Morgan to change his plan - maybe some details would change, but the plan would not change.

Well, back to the beginning, what's that plan?

"Do you really want to know my opinion, Mr. Morgan?" He asked one last time.

"Yes, Mr. Qin." Little Jack was sure.

"In that case, I can express some of my personal opinions," Qin Lang said, carefully choosing every word, "But I would like to know your father's specific plans, huh...... Of course, I don't need to go into too much detail, I just want to know what the ultimate purpose of his purchase of land in Guangzhou Bay is, otherwise I can't give an accurate reference opinion. Mr. Morgan, is this convenient? ”

Little Jack hesitated slightly. "Of course." He replied, and then began to explain Morgan's plan.

At the same time, the cruiser "San Francisco".

“…… Basically, that's all I know. Yi Shui ended his explanation.

He told Mahan everything.

Yi Shui's explanation is not very detailed, because he doesn't know much either. The "certificate of relocation" is a tool used in the real estate industry, and he can be described as ignorant of the real estate industry - but here others know less about the industry, so he has enough knowledge to cope with the current situation.

Now there is only one problem left to solve.

"In my personal opinion, although in the field of real estate development, Mr. Qin's proposal is a good solution, it is not suitable for the work we are doing, Lieutenant Colonel." "You should know that our mission is to build the port, the barracks and the batteries and other related military facilities, not to develop real estate," Mahan said. ”

This means that the "relocation certificates" owned by the villagers will eventually become worthless - even if there is spare land in the military-administered area, it is impossible for them to build a house. So there is no doubt that the villagers will be dissatisfied and complain, and although it seems to Mahan that this is not something to worry about at all, why waste time and money now when the end result will turn out to be like this?

Therefore, this is a needless method...... Mahan felt it was.

Therefore, Yi Shui had to remind him of a small fact. "But the land we requisitioned is obviously not going to be used for docks, barracks, and batteries, is it, Colonel?"

"But we won't expropriate all the land either, Lieutenant Colonel." Mahan also drew his attention to the small fact that "we will only requisition what the federal army needs, and leave the rest to the real estate developers in the country." Of course, speaking of them, obviously, these guys may not recognize the 'relocation certificate' we issued as valid. ”

Yi Shui smiled—this time he really did, and he laughed happily. When the target that needed to be targeted was American businessmen and no longer Chinese civilians, he had some ideas almost immediately.

"Colonel, even if it's a domestic real estate developer, they can't come around in the concession, can they?" He blinked, "It is impossible for them to forcibly plunder the land of civilians, they can only buy ......"

"If there is power to stop them...... Oh, I seem to have forgotten that it's your soldiers who are responsible for keeping order in the concession. Mahan thought for a moment, then nodded. Yes, at the behest of your mercenaries, they will play by the rules. You'll have to make some reasonable excuses, Lieutenant Colonel, though. ”

"It's not difficult." Finding a reasonable excuse is Qin Lang's usual trick, and Yi Shui has also learned a little. He was confident, so he continued: "As long as the developers follow the rules, they have to spend money, whether it's the purchase of land or the 'relocation certificate', and of course in my opinion, buying the 'relocation certificate' allows them to save a lot of money. ”

After a few seconds, he added: "And it's also an opportunity for the federal government to recoup its investment." ”

"What do you mean...... It's a good idea. Mahan thought of it almost immediately. Each "relocation certificate" can only get the equivalent of three houses on the same amount of land, but in reality, the villagers own much more land than that, so if the real estate developer only needs to buy the certificate, they will of course have to pay much less than if they buy the land.

Of course, if real estate development is to be carried out in the concession, it is not enough to buy a "relocation certificate", but also to buy other land from the authorities that has been labeled "military requisition" but is not actually needed by the army, so that the federal government can recover some of the funds.

So that's a good way to do it.

"But," Mahan was a little worried, "what if a villager refuses to sell his vouchers?" ”

"They'll sell, Colonel." Easy water is guaranteed. "They can move out of their homes for a hundred taels of silver, and of course they can sell a voucher they own, or something else, for a higher price......

"Sir!" At this moment, Harris, a communications soldier, ran over, "Sir, Captain Thomas asked me to come back and report to you. ”

"Report what?"

"We were going to buy some food from the relocated villagers, but they only accepted silver and silver dollars, and Captain Thomas asked the command to exchange some silver dollars for us, sir."

"You see," Yi Shui said to Mahan with a smile, "as long as the price is right, the villagers are very reasonable." ”
