Chapter 10 To Shanghai
After sending off the general office of Master Kang, the chief teacher Xi Yu Fu hurriedly asked Lin Daxin what was going on, and Lin Daxin told Yu Fu about the experience of his party in the Governor's Mansion.
After hearing this, Yu Fu patted Lin Daxin's head angrily: "You stinky boy!" There is no place to spend the silver! How did you think of such a thing as using your own money to run a water master school! Your father knows, but he doesn't know what to be angry about! ”
Lin Daxin touched his beaten head and said with a smile: "Uncle Yu, don't worry!" I know what to expect! I'm doing it for my father's sake! You'll understand later! But in the future, you have to help me build this water master school! ”
Lin Daxin knew that he was not an ordinary person, in the pacification of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yu Fu participated in the Huai army to follow Li Hongzhang, participated in the capture of Suzhou, Changzhou, and later followed Li Hongzhang to pacify the Twist Army, and was seriously injured in the pacification of the Twist Army.
Later, Li Hongzhang established the Beiyang Naval Division, and Yu Fu was transferred to the Beiyang Naval Division to study naval warfare, and served as the captain of several warships.
Yu Fu looked at Lin Daxin, who was smiling and hippie, and shook his head helplessly, Jiang Hui and other six teachers also came over to congratulate Lin Daxin on becoming the deputy general manager.
Lin Daxin looked at everyone and announced that the newly built Sailor School would be built in Beigou Village, outside the Weihai Acropolis.
Beigou Village is Lin Daxin consulted the terrain around Weihaiwei, carefully selected, Beigou Village is close to the sea, not far from Weihai Acropolis, and the land around Beigou Village is flat, there is a large piece of saline-alkali land of wasteland, and the factory that the Sailor School and Lin Daxin are going to build in the future also have a place to build.
Lin Daxin took out the remaining 99 kilograms of gold bars in his courtyard, and exchanged 31,680 taels of silver in the money village in the Weihai Acropolis, and then Lin Daxin and Yu Fu went to Beigou Village to check on the spot.
Then Lin Daxin hastily drew a design drawing of the Sailor School, handed it to Yu Fu, and handed over 30,000 silver to Yu Fu, and asked Yu Fu to find someone to build a school in the Weihai Acropolis.
Yu Fu took Lin Daxin's design drawing, frowned and asked, "Pingshi!" How big is this place you want to build? Look at the rows of houses on your picture, I'm afraid they can hold 10,000 people! Do we need such a big place for our school? ”
Lin Daxin explained: "Uncle Yu, our Sailor Academy not only recruits students who study Sailor, but also recruits students who learn the new army!" I'm too small to be able to hold 10,000 yuan! Yu Bo, you use these 30,000 taels of silver to build first, and if it is not enough, I will give you silver! ”
Yu Fu shook his head and said secretly, what a loser! Build a house for 30,000 taels of silver!
Lin Daxin transferred four of the six teachers to Yu Fu, and together they were in charge of the infrastructure of the Sailor School in Beigou Village.
Jiang Hui and another young teacher named Sun Xitao were taken by Lin Daxin on a ship to Shanghai. This teacher named Sun Xitao also graduated from the Fujian Shipbuilding School, and also graduated from the navigation department, but he graduated a few years earlier than Lin Daxin.
The steamship they were on was originally a coal carrier of the Beiyang Naval Division, but because of the financial difficulties of the Beiyang Naval Division, Admiral Ding Ruchang advocated opening up sources and reducing expenditure, and the coal carrier was turned into a passenger ship, and it ran the route from Weihaiwei to Shanghai.
Three days later, Lin Daxin took Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao off the ship and set foot on the land of Shanghai.
The three people in plain clothes stayed in a hotel not far from a public concession, and then Lin Daxin took a few of each, and swaggered into the public concession.
Lin Daxin walked into the public concession and went straight to the bank set up by a foreign country in the public concession.
Lin Daxin saw a three-story Western-style western-style building with an HSBC sign hanging at the door, Lin Daxin took a deep breath and walked in directly, and after a while, Lin Daxin walked out with a smile on his face.
I didn't expect the ** quality made by Cheng Jianhua, who made fakes and coins, so good! Lin Daxin took a fake and currency with a face value of 50 pounds and exchanged change at HSBC, and even a bank like HSBC couldn't check the authenticity! directly changed Lin Daxin for 50 pounds of change, it seems that after returning to modern time and space, he will order more fakes and coins!
Lin Daxin went to the Yokohama Zhengjin Bank in Japan, Citibank in the United States, the Banque de France in France, the Deutsch-Hua Bank in Germany, and the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank in Russia.
Lin Daxin, who took the time, found a place where there was no one, traveled back to modern time and space, and made a phone call to Cheng Jianhua in Taiwan, saying that there was another big business to take care of Cheng Jianhua, and then the two agreed to meet at Lin Daxin's trading company five days later.
On the way to Shanghai, Lin Daxin took the time to return to modern time and space, interviewed three managers recommended by headhunting companies, and finally Lin Daxin chose a manager named Liu Qiang in his forties.
This time, Lin Daxin and Liu Qiang met, and explained that Liu Qiang continued to recruit some personnel, and purchased a large number of rice, flour, clothing, cement, and other things that Lin Daxin thought could be used in the Sailor School.
Although Liu Qiang, who had just become a manager, was very surprised by what Lin Daxin purchased, just like clothes, Lin Daxin not only asked for the purchase of tens of thousands of camouflage uniforms and **, but also asked for the purchase of a batch of German SS uniforms during World War II.
As for the others, there are dozens of things, as long as Lin Daxin can think of them, they will all be explained to Liu Qiang to purchase.
Although Liu Qiang's boss was surprised by what he explained, Liu Qiang, as a wage earner, still promised that he would do a good job of the things explained by the boss.
Lin Daxin went around the company again, found that there was nothing to do with the company, said hello to the company's employees, left the company, and hurriedly returned to the building in the community to travel back to time and space in 1892.
The employees of Lin Daxin's company have become accustomed to his elusiveness, and most of the time they can't find the boss when they call, and they find that the boss has left the company again, and everyone doesn't care, and they continue to do what they should do.
Lin Daxin, who had returned from the crossing, bought more than a dozen dishes and a jar of wine at a restaurant outside the public concession and returned to the hotel where he lived.
Lin Daxin lived on the second floor of the hotel, he came to his room, and when he pushed the door, the door did not open, and Jiang Hui's very alert voice came from inside: "Who is outside?"
Lin Daxin carried a vegetable box and a jar of wine in both hands, and shouted in his mouth: "Brother Jiancheng, Brother Ruian, open the door!" I bought good wine and a dozen dishes! ”
The two people in Lin Daxin's mouth are Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao, Jiang Hui's words are built, and Sun Xitao's words are Ruian.
After the door opened, Jiang Hui dragged Lin Daxin into the room and drew the door from the inside, and as soon as Lin Daxin entered the door, he saw Sun Xitao holding a dagger and pinning it into his waist clothes.
Lin Daxin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I said two brothers, not yet!" Isn't it just two boxes of money! ”
Jiang Hui said angrily: "Pingshi, this is a foreign banknote worth more than a million pounds!" You can buy several state-of-the-art ironclads! Can we be careless? ”
Sun Xitao, who inserted the dagger into his waist, continued: "Ever since Brother Pingshi told us on the boat that we were carrying two boxes full of Six Nations banknotes, I have been worried that I can't sleep well, you see I have dark circles under my eyes!"
Jiang Hui nodded and said, "I haven't slept well in the past few days!" Look at my eyes, do you have dark circles too! I knew that Pingshi had brought so much money, so why did he have to borrow a team of soldiers and follow us! ”
Lin Daxin took a closer look, Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao did look sleep-deprived.
Lin Daxin didn't have much feeling for these two boxes of fake and coins, and the money spent to buy these two boxes of fake and coins in modern time and space was nothing to Lin Daxin, who was already worth more than a billion yuan in modern time and space!
But Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao didn't know that these two boxes were fakes and coins, and they didn't know that Lin Daxin could continue to exchange these fakes and coins from modern time and space, so the two of them were frightened by this huge amount of money! I'm afraid that something will happen to this huge amount of money!
The two roughly calculated the two boxes of money, 1 million US dollars can be exchanged for about 200,000 pounds, 1 million rubles can be exchanged for about 100,000 pounds, 1 million yen can be exchanged for about 100,000 pounds, 1 million francs can be exchanged for about 40,000 pounds, and 1 million German marks can be exchanged for about 50,000 pounds.
With the addition of 1 million pounds, the six foreign banknotes in these two boxes can be exchanged for about 1.49 million pounds, and according to the current 1 pound sterling can be exchanged for 5 taels of silver, that is, these two boxes of money are worth 7.45 million taels of silver. The Dingyuan ship and the Zhenyuan ship are only 1.7 million taels of silver, and the money from these two boxes can buy four Dingyuan-class ironclad ships.
Moreover, the two of them had heard Lin Daxin's idea of the Weihai Weishui Division School on the steamer, not only to establish a discipline for studying the navy, but also to build a discipline for learning a new type of army, Lin Daxin pointed to the money from the two suitcases, and told the two of them to use the money to invite foreign military instructors to the Weihai Weishui Division School, and also to buy some weapons and equipment of the army and the navy division for teaching. In addition, it is necessary to buy some machinery and equipment from foreign factories, establish various factories in Weihaiwei, build arsenals, establish shipyards, hire foreign technicians, and train their own workers.
Both of them were enthusiastic about what Lin Daxin said, and they were determined to follow Lin Daxin, a rich man, to do a big job, and there must be no mistakes in this huge amount of money!
