Li Tie saw a big pie smashed in front of his eyes, and it would be a pity if he didn't know how to use it. Very politely invited Mike to have a big meal in a luxurious western restaurant.

Later, he followed Mike to his rented house in the French Concession, and Mike very carefully took out a suitcase from the house, opened the suitcase, and placed ten Mauser pistols, which are often called box guns.

At the same time, there are ten boxes of bullets. He called Tie Dan to him and whispered to him, and sent Tie Dan home to fetch the suitcase.

Taking advantage of the time when Tie Dan went back, Li Tie tried the box cannon in his hand, and negotiated with Mike in front of him about the price of this batch of munitions. Because Mike was really anxious to make a deal, and as far as Li Tie knew, the caliber of the 15,000 guns was a large caliber of 9 mm, and the ammunition capacity was only 10 rounds, and it could not be used with the domestic 7.62 mm bullets.

Nine-millimeter pistols can actually use 7.62 millimeter bullets, but not to mention the decrease in accuracy, it also affects the life of the barrel. So in the end, 15,000 military Mauser guns were bought by Li Tie for 10 yuan each, and 150,000 rounds of ammunition and 1500 yuan and 500 rounds were equivalent to giving them away for nothing.

At this time, the exchange rate ratio between the silver dollar and the mark was close to 1:1, so the two sides directly settled in US dollars 1:2.5. For such 150,000 silver dollars of arms, Li Tie had to pay Mike 60,000 dollars.

The Mack family is responsible for delivering the goods to the warehouse of a foreign company at the Bund terminal in Shanghai, and the money is paid in one lump sum. The ten box cannons in front of him were transported from the customs in a pile of grain by McTor this time.

After three months, all the guns will enter China as grain smuggling. But to smuggle so much arms. I can't buy less of this grain.

The Macks had a good relationship with a large French landowner. Li Tie's family is the largest grain merchant in Fenghua, and at the same time, he has always wanted to expand the scale, but there is no stable source of food.

Hearing that Mike still had so much grain, Li Tie immediately made a decision for his father and simply ordered 200,000 silver dollars of rice from France. Li Tie believed that with the strength of his family, it would not be a problem to eat the 200,000 yuan of grain, so that he would not have to rush to contact the buyer within three months, and the arms could be slowly sold at a good price.

Of course, it is impossible for this batch of arms to be accounted for. So the two sides talked for a while, and the two finally set the time and place of delivery, and the means of transaction. Tie Dan carried a suitcase to the room of the two.

Li Tie opened a suitcase in front of Mike, and the suitcase was covered with a thick layer of newspaper, and opened the corner of the newspaper to let Mike look at the gold in front of him. He pulled out two pieces and threw them into Mike's hand. Mike gritted the gold bar in his hand with his teeth, agreeing that it would be okay to trade it in gold.

Knowing that Mike had no living expenses, he asked Tie Dan to take a hundred oceans, handed them to Mike, and then took out three gold bars from the suitcase for a total of five gold bars and gave them to Mike as a deposit for this transaction, and also showed Li Tie's strength. Both were happy with the outcome of the deal.

Early the next morning, Li Tie and Mike went to the Japanese-run Yamato & Co. in the French Concession, with the Yamato & Co. as an intermediary, and Li Tie purchased grain worth 200,000 silver dollars from Mike's hometown. The delivery time is three months, and it will be handed over at the warehouse of Yamato & Co. at the Bund Terminal.

Pay a one-thousandth handling fee first, and then pay another nine-thousandths of a handling fee after the transaction is successful. After the two of them completed the formalities, they went straight to the telegraph office. Mike sent a telegram home. Soon the exact delivery date and arrival date were obtained, and there was no problem with the transaction for the time being.

To celebrate the first collaboration between the two parties. Li Tie and Mike came to the Western restaurant again, and Mike, who felt relaxed physically and mentally, finally started talking and laughing.

Li Tie persuaded Mike not to return to China at all, and to do business with him in China. Now that he has a market, Mike has a supply, and the cooperation between the two sides will definitely make a lot of money. Mike said he was impressed, but he had to discuss it with his family.

In order to seize Mike's source of wealth, Li Tie kept describing to him the prospect of reselling all kinds of machinery and commodities in China, and if they could, they could jointly set up a foreign bank. Mike took care of it, and he was hidden behind the scenes, after all, he was only the son-in-law of the director of the machinery factory, even if he was his own son, the factory director had many children, and the property could not fall on his head.

With Li Tie's persuasion, Mike was really moved. Soon sent a report again to tell his wife who was far away in Germany, but he didn't expect his wife to approve of it, and said that after the success of this business, she would also come to China to work hard with Mike.

Mike, who was supported by his wife, immediately agreed with Li Tie that after the success of the arms deal, he would quit his job as a salesman in the machinery factory and concentrate on working for Li Tie.

After saying goodbye to Mike, Li Tie came to the telecommunications bureau alone and sent a telegram to his father in his hometown, telling him that he had helped him contact 300,000 silver dollars of grain in France, and asked his father Li Tianfang if he would buy it, and if he received it, he would pay half of the money first, and if he didn't accept it, he would give it to others.

Of course, Li Tianfang agreed, you must know that China today lacks everything except people, and told him to raise funds immediately to give Li Tiehui 100,000 yuan, and the rest will be paid when he receives the goods.

Li Tianfang never dreamed that his son would even calculate his own father. At the same time, this business also made Li Tie finally know how he made a fortune quickly in Shanghai, that is, he resold grain and arms.

Because there was too much food, it was necessary to go to Ningbo by boat first. Li Tie suggested that Li Tianfang would have grain in the future, so it would be better to simply open a branch at Ningbo Port to bring the family's grain business to the whole province and even the whole country.

Li Tianfang actually had this intention for a long time, he was impatient with the national grain shortage, and wanted to buy grain from abroad, but he could not find a way, and the limited channels were monopolized by the major grain merchants and the state. Now my son has just arrived in Shanghai and found such a good way for himself, I am really overjoyed.

Li Tianfang was also afraid that Li Tie would be deceived at first, but later heard that there was a Yamato foreign company opened by the Japanese as a guarantor, and he immediately put his mind at ease, and now a pound of rice in Shanghai is only five cents, and the cif price of rice purchased from Germany is only two cents and a half cents. 200,000 silver dollars is 8 million catties, which is 4,000 tons of grain. It would take twenty ships with a load of 200 tons to be transported.

With Li Tianfang going to eat all the grain, Li Tie can contact the buyers of this batch of arms with confidence. In fact, he already had the buyer of this batch of arms in his heart, that is, the National Revolutionary Army. They have been preparing for the Northern Expedition, and there is a great shortage of weapons.

At the same time, the workers' armed forces under the leadership of ** are now also in short supply, but at this time, ** has insufficient understanding of armed struggle, and at the same time there is no extra money to buy.

Li Tie wanted to leave a batch from each arms transaction as a gift to the ** armed forces in the future, but this would have to wait until two years later when they really led the armed uprising.

He contacted his father again and asked him to select twenty strong, loyal and honest men from among the tenants of the family in a few days. He wants to set up a foreign firm in Shanghai in partnership with foreigners from Germany, and he will pay for it, so please rest assured that his father will never delay his studies.

The reason why Li Tianfang put Li Tie into the major of economic management is not to hope that his son can inherit his father's business and inherit his huge family business in the future. I didn't know that my son was born to do business, and it was only a few days before he started in Shanghai.

happily remitted another 10,000 yuan to Li Tie, all as a reward for this purchase of grain. When I finished my work, I also had to go to Shanghai to visit this competitive son in the winter when the farm was slack.

After receiving his father's remittance of 10,000 yuan, Li Tie jumped up happily. Where did the money come from to set up a foreign bank? It's really sleepy

People send pillows.

On the sixth day of Li Tie's arrival in Shanghai, and two days before Li Tie started school, Li Tie and Mike signed a joint agreement to establish Huaxing Foreign Company under the witness of an American law firm, and Li Tie fully invested 10,000 silver dollars as the chairman.

Mike owns 5 percent of the company's shares and is also the general manager. Externally, it is just the opposite, claiming that Huaxing Foreign Bank is a German-funded foreign company, headquartered in France, and Li Tie is the general manager. In fact, Mike's monthly salary is two hundred silver dollars, and there is a corresponding business commission.

With the contract in hand, Li Tie and Mike found an inconspicuous but large store in the French Concession. I signed a one-year contract at a price of 100 silver dollars per month, and I paid rent every month.

After taking the title deed, he found the local dealer who handled the business license, and spent another hundred silver dollars, but in just one afternoon, the industrial and commercial procedures and other business procedures of Huaxing Foreign Bank were all completed, which made Li Tie couldn't help but be surprised by the efficiency of such things in the Republic of China.

The two took the industrial and commercial procedures of Huaxing Foreign Bank and came to the headquarters of Citibank. After opening an account in the bank, the manager of the bank was very enthusiastic when he saw that it was a German who had come to handle the procedures.

Promise that as long as the business is more than a month, you can come here to make a low-interest loan without resistance. Mike didn't listen too seriously, but Li Tie's eyes lit up. It's also a good way to make money.

After leaving Citibank, I returned to the foreign bank and found that Tie Dan had already led the twenty young men who had just gotten off the train sent by his family to clean up in the newly rented storefront.

Li Tie looked at the eldest young master one by one, and found that the eldest young master and a foreign master walked in together, they all stopped what they were doing, bowed their heads and called the eldest young master, calling out to the eldest young master, but his eyes looked at the foreign devil next to the young master from time to time.

I can't help but sigh in my heart, the eldest young master really has a bad history, and he can partner with foreign devils to do business. The eldest of the twenty strong young men in front of him was only twenty-five years old, and the youngest was only sixteen or seventeen, but all of them were in good health, and they were all tenants of Li Tie's family.

And Li Tianfang treats the tenants in his family, and everyone in Fenghua knows that it is the best. It can be said that these tenants have received Li Tianfang's favor, and their loyalty is not a problem.

And Tie Dan had already told them what he had taught, and they would not only be tenants of Li Tie's family in the future, but also employees here, each of whom would have ten silver dollars a month, and Tie Dan would be their head, with a monthly salary of twenty silver dollars.

These guys didn't expect to come to Shanghai with such a good treatment, and they worked harder.

Introduce Mike to everyone, and introduce everyone to Mike at the same time. Tell Tie Dan to vacate a few rooms in the backyard of the foreign company so that they can temporarily have a place to live at night, and then arrange other places to live after a few days when the foreign company is on the right track.

After speaking, Li Tie took Mike upstairs together to discuss the matters and employment matters after the opening of the foreign bank.
