Chapter 31: Self-Restraint

"My factory will be the first factory in China with the ability to print money!"

Knock, knock......

The heartbeat is accelerating, to be precise, after saying that sentence, not only Chen Moran's heartbeat is accelerating, but Thomas's heartbeat is also accelerating, just as Chen Moran said, this is a market gap.

In front of Mr. Chen, he has seized the gap in the market, printing books, newspapers and magazines may be just his sideline, printing money is his main business, how much banknote does the whole China need, and will it need to print money paper at that time? When you think about it, it's astronomical, and compared to the profits of printing money, those cheap papers are simply small businesses.

Ten years ago, Thomas, who worked at Tarleton Corporation, knew very well that the manufacturing process of banknote printing paper was complex, and perhaps Chinese companies could master the technology of printing money in a short period of time, but papermaking technology.

Thinking of this, the corners of Thomas's lips lifted slightly, and he clearly knew that the entire Chinese banknotes were printed by foreign agents, and there was no foreign bank in the whole of China that sold banknote printing paper.

But...... Thomas smiled, he picked up the coffee on the table and looked at Chen Moran in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, now in China, except for the banknotes issued by the British bank, which have a better anti-counterfeiting surname, the banknotes issued by other banks, in order to reduce the bottom cost, mostly use the paper of the small denomination currency of the country or even ordinary newsprint, these banknotes are of poor quality and easy to counterfeit, so the reputation is relatively low."

When Thomas was smiling a little proudly, seeing him enter the set, Chen Moran suppressed the excitement in his heart, and while nodding, he tried the banknotes on the table with his fingers, and the quality was indeed very poor.

"If you are ready to engage in this industry, you must understand that in European and American countries like banknotes and other securities, the paper used is by no means different from the general printing paper, and the general use of tough, smooth, crisp, wear-resistant banknote printing paper, such paper will be durable, lint-free, tear-resistant, not broken, this paper is mostly long-fiber cotton and linen, that is, special paper for printing money."

Chen Moran grinned and nodded at the same time, but said nothing.

"Mr. Chen, have you heard of Tarleton?"

Tarleton Company?

Chen Moran, who was originally waiting for him to finish speaking and then speak, muttered in his heart, what kind of company is this? Although he had done his homework before, like the banknote printing companies mentioned earlier, it was indeed the first time he had heard of this Tarleton company.

The abnormality on Chen Moran's face saw Thomas's eyes, but in his heart, he originally thought that Mr. Chen, who had "just returned from Europe" in Xu Shuqiu's mouth, knew everything about Europe and the United States, at least the printing industry, and it seemed that there was still something he didn't know.

"Mr. Chen, Tarleton is the largest paper company in the United States, and Meihe is the plenipotentiary representative of Tarleton in China!"

Thomas said proudly that when he resigned from Tarleton Company ten years ago, who could believe that ten years later, he Thomas and Meihe & Foreign Company would become the general agent of Tarleton Company in China?

"At the same time, Tarleton is also one of the paper suppliers of the American banknote printing company, the other is Kekou company, and the special paper for printing banknotes produced by Tarleton company is supplied by Tarleton company in addition to the United States, Mexico, Cuba, the Philippines and other countries for printing banknotes."

Speaking of this, Thomas just smiled slyly at Chen Moran, and then reached out and took out a certificate from the briefcase that had been intentionally placed next to the chair a long time ago, this is a copy of the power of attorney of Tarleton Company, originally carrying this copy just to be prepared, who would have thought that it would be used now.

"Mr. Chen, you can take a look at this authorization letter, Tarleton Company authorized Meihe & Foreign Company to act as an agent for all the goods he produces, including the special paper for printing banknotes, of course."

Looking at the English power of attorney, Chen Moran did see what he said, but he still didn't say anything, since he took the trouble to use an "unprecedentedly huge market" to lure Thomas into the set, he has been waiting for Thomas to take the initiative to drill into the set.

"Liar, for liars, the first thing must be to learn patience, and many liars fail because they are too eager."

Calm! Be calm!

When Thomas spoke, Chen Moran kept a smile on his face, his fingers swirled on the foot of the cup from time to time, if it weren't for the look of interest on his face, Thomas almost believed that the supplier in front of him might have been contacted, otherwise according to normal thinking, he would never have acted so indifferent.

"Quality!"

After thinking for a while, Thomas raised his head and looked directly at Chen Moran.

"Maybe I can't give you other guarantees, but I can guarantee one thing, I represent the Tarleton company banknote printing paper, are the US dollar banknote paper, his quality and anti-counterfeiting surname is beyond doubt, this kind of red and blue rayon banknote printing paper is the United States Department of the Treasury and Tarleton and Kekuo company jointly developed, since 1879 developed, is the world's best anti-counterfeiting technology, has been used by other countries for reference."

"Oh!"

Although he only responded lightly, Chen Moran was already excited at this time and couldn't help himself. But Thomas couldn't see that he was trembling, and he couldn't hear his heart pounding. He knew that he had to remain calm at this time, only in this way could he not arouse his suspicion and have no expression on his face.

"Mr. Thomas, I trust your assurance!"

Before a smile appeared on Thomas's face, Chen Moran continued.

"But, I'm sorry!"

Rumble! Hope was dashed in an instant, and when Chen Moran said this, Thomas was knocked down by the word sorry, and he ...... He rejected himself.

When Thomas's face became extremely unnatural, Chen Moran continued.

"As you said, you can't afford to be negligent in printing money, especially for my factory, because I need to speak for the banks with good quality, so I have to put it through rigorous testing before deciding which paper to use."

Rigorous testing!

Thomas, who had already lost hope, heard this sentence and understood that Chen Moran had not yet made a final decision on the paper, so a glimmer of hope rose again in his heart.

"Mr. Chen, we are willing to ......"

Thomas, who was about to say what was available for free, changed his words when he got to the point where he spoke.

"Two rolls of eight-foot, about 8 U.S. tons of banknote printing paper are available at a low price for you to use for testing! If you decide to have Meihe & Co. as your paper supplier, then in addition to printing money, the foreign bank is willing to reduce the price by 5%, I don't know what you think? ”

After a pause, Thomas knew he needed to add something.

"I can assure you that the foreign bank will deliver all the paper you need to Shanghai within the next 20 days!"

Time! Time is money, and as a businessman, Thomas has a deep understanding of preconceived notions, and he must leave Tarleton's shadow in Chen Moran's heart before other foreign companies send samples to him.

The irrepressible acceleration of his heartbeat stimulated Chen Moran again, although he tried his best to calm down, he was still a little nervous and excited when he spoke.

"I ...... I guess it's a sincerity that people can't refuse, isn't it? ””

Thomas also hurriedly picked up the wine glass and humorously addressed Chen Moran in front of him.

"Then let me give a toast to the founder of the China Banknote Printing Company!"
