Chapter 382: Yue Opera Takes the Stage
Wang Feng's assumption is that the United States will send experts to undertake the presiding and technical guidance work, and will not hold positions in the bank or hold shares, which is completely instructive, and in return, he will allow the City Bank of New York to open branches in China in a few years, and the focus is on how many years will be in this few years.
In exchange, he will ask the City Bank of New York to come forward and ask the New York state government to allow Chinese banks to open branches on Wall Street.
While toasting with everyone, Wang Feng secretly calculated that there is a great risk in Chinese banks going out, but without the wind and rain, how to fight with international financial predators in the future!
Unconsciously, after three rounds of drinking, Hu Xueyan seemed to think of something, and asked: "Commander Wang, you exchange huΓ n gold with us with a silver ticket for a period of two years, but the amount of silver ticket you hold is too huge, if the amount of money you redeem is insufficient, what will you do with the remaining silver tickets?" β
"Huh?" The eyes of the bosses were attracted one after another, nearly 200 million taels of silver tickets, equivalent to more than 10 million taels of gold, this is indeed a problem, no one is sure to redeem the full amount to Wang Feng, the key is that there is not much gold in China.
The Taiping army killed all the way from Guangxi and Hunan to Nanjing, this way, all the things that could be robbed were robbed, Wang Feng occupied Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and also got a lot of gold, although the people will survive, but the number will not be very much, basically Jiangnan can not be considered.
The remaining targets are only Hebei Zhili, Sichuan and Guangdong, and with these three alone, in their conservative estimates, two million taels is almost the limit, which is equivalent to about 320,000 silver, and 30 million taels is obviously a drop in the bucket compared to the huge debt of 200 million taels. In other words, Wang Feng is still strangling their necks!
It became quiet in an instant. This is the evil result of over-issuing and indiscriminately issuing silver tickets, and Wang Feng also understands. The huge amount of debt is actually a double-edged sword, if it is not handled well, it will affect the enthusiasm and sincerity of cooperation in Ningbo money, and cause both sides to lose, because the circulation of banknotes without the full support of Ningbo money, it will be a very troublesome thing, but it is not reasonable to return it for free, and I can't help but think about it carefully.
Good half a day. Wang Fengcai waved his hand and said: "Let me mention it, let's sum it up, the silver bill is a debt to you, if there is a balance, you can convert the debt into shares, and the government will set up the China International Finance Corporation to hold shares, with its profits as the principal, specializing in investing in bonds, stocks or currencies of Western countries."
And whether this share is a preferred share or an ordinary share, the specific conversion ratio. I believe that you should come up with practical solutions based on your growth potential while understanding your own financial situation, and then we will consult one-on-one. In short, please rest assured, I have no intention of blackmailing everyone with half a cent of silver tickets, before finally reaching a solution to the debt. This part of the silver ticket can be sealed. β
There was a buzz in the seats, to be honest. Wang Feng's proposal to swap debts into equity has already expressed sufficient sincerity. Everyone is an adult, no one will be naΓ―ve to imagine that Wang Feng will return the silver ticket for free and convert the debt into equity, which is a relatively mild result, although in the future operation will share a part of the profits to the so-called China International Capital Corporation, but many of the large money banks in Ningbo are in the form of joint ventures, and they are not exclusive to shares!
Even those with a keen sense of smell can also sniff out the business opportunities contained in it, what does China International Finance Corporation do? Specializing in Western stocks, bonds, and currency operations, if you join hands with them to make a bank, it is very likely to make excess profits!
Although the risk of foreign investment is very high, Zhejiang people are born with a sense of courage, Zheng Yongtai arched his hand on behalf of everyone: "According to Commander Wang, after two years, strive to solve the problem of silver tickets as soon as possible!" β
"Good!" Wang Feng shouted, "Bang!" "Two palms in the air!
With the sound of small footsteps, thirty-six young women walked onto the small stage in front of the banquet hall and lined up to face everyone.
"Huh? Isn't this Wu Wenrong's concubine? Wu Wenrong's thirty-six jade hairpins are famous in Hangzhou, and those with sharp eyes immediately recognized them.
Brush Brush Brush! Every pair of eyes were ambiguous with understanding, and they all threw themselves at Wang Feng, although they didn't know Wu Wenrong's concubine gift, but it was Wu Wenrong's house that held the banquet, and the thirty-six jade hairpins gathered together, which inevitably made people think a little bit about it.
Someone almost shouted that people are not romantic teenagers or something like that!
Seeing everyone's expressions, Wang Feng hurriedly pressed his hands: "Don't misunderstand, the thirty-six girls are definitely not my personal favorites, if there are admirers in the clan, please rest assured that the bold pursuit, don't take care of me, I repeat again, I have no personal relationship with the girls, but I make a request, these thirty-six girls have joined the Democratic League Art Troupe, and those who intend to pursue must be allowed to be a wife, not a concubine!" β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was puzzled, let thirty-six beauties take the stage, is it really for the sake of the matchmaker? To tell the truth, if Wang Feng keeps it for himself, everyone takes it for granted, after all, his status is there, and the concubine is different from the main wife, the main wife requires chastity, and the concubine is a man's plaything, and there are not a few people who exchange concubines privately between the powerful, and basically no one will ask for the chastity of the concubine.
It's just that Wang Feng's serious appearance shows that he does not have a personal relationship with these beauties, which makes some people's minds begin to liven up.
Generally speaking, the humid environment will make the woman's skin delicate, hot and cold and have a natural whitening effect, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are in this unique geographical environment, coupled with the mellow and strong humanistic atmosphere, to cast the unique small jasper temperament of Jiangnan women.
Wu Wenrong is the governor of Zhejiang, and the woman who can be accepted as a concubine by him is naturally not ordinary, these thirty-six jade hairpins are not said to be as beautiful as a fairy, but each of them is at least one in a million levels, very Zhong Lingqi of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, especially everyone sings a good song, and the advantages of talent can completely offset the regret of not being a virgin.
Even if their predecessor was Wu Wenrong's concubine and their status was relatively low, they joined the Art Troupe of the Democratic League Army and were specially introduced by Wang Feng, and they have been suddenly raised to a higher level.
Thirty-six jade hairpins stood on the stage generously, if Wang Feng took them as personal favorites, no one would be unwilling, but Wang Feng did not, not only gave them the identity of literary and artistic warriors of the Democratic League, but also helped build the Yue Opera Troupe, paving a road to the peak of art, every pair of beautiful eyes looking at Wang Feng were a little complicated and incomprehensible, and there was a gratitude that could not be concealed.
Zhou Xiuying couldn't help but pull Wang Feng, and said with a smile: "You regret it now, do you want to keep the two?" β
"Big sister, can I exchange those two for you?" Wang Feng lowered his voice and smiled, and after Zhou Xiuying pursed his lips disdainfully, he faced everyone and said: "Let me reintroduce it to you, these thirty-six girls are also members of the newly established Hangzhou Yue Opera Troupe, tonight is their debut, Wang is cheeky, please be a witness." β
Wang Feng turned around and made a gesture, the two curtains slowly fell, covering the stage tightly, and the confusion in everyone's hearts was a little more, Zheng Yongtai came up and asked: "Commander Wang, the old man has only heard of Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera, but he has never heard of this Yue Opera." β
Wang Feng smiled slightly: "I once heard the Shaoxing rap board book by chance, that is, the women's small song class, which is good at lyricism, beautiful and elegant, with a bright rhythm and beautiful melody, which is in line with the characteristics of the Zhejiang people's industrious and exploratory spirit."
At that time, I thought that such an excellent opera should not be unknown, but should help her to carry forward, go to the whole country, and one day, on the stage of London and Paris, to promote our Chinese national culture, so I took 36 girls as the team, the Shaoxing rap board book was slightly adapted, named after the ancient name of Yue, Zhejiang, and established the first Yue Opera Troupe. β
"Oh? Commander Wang has such a good idea, so he is aiming for this ambition, this field, the old man has made a decision! Zheng Yongtai immediately patted his chest and promised!
"Yes, yes, this is our Zhejiang drama, as a Zhejiang, we have to cheer no matter what!" Everyone joined in, full of anticipation.
About five minutes later, in the sound of elegant silk and bamboo, the curtain slowly opened, and the newly arranged stage appeared in everyone's sight, at the beginning of the melodious female chorus: "Shangyu County Zhujiazhuang, there is a Zhuyingtai by the Yushui River, both talented and beautiful" With the singing, a woman in ancient costume made a visit, thinking and other actions, which was wonderful and exciting.
"Good!" At this point, a money bank boss couldn't help but shout: "Yue Opera is really refreshing, Commander Wang, which play is this?" β
Wang Feng said with a smile: "This is a new screenplay, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, based on the widely circulated love story of Liang Zhu, everyone, please be patient and look down." β
I have to say that Yue Opera is indeed refreshing for southerners who are accustomed to hearing the long drag of Kunqu Opera, the beautiful singing tone, and the tightly linked plot are deeply attractive to everyone, the whole play lasts for an hour, applauding one after another, especially when the finale "Butterfly" is sung, everyone can't help but stand up, the poignant tune, the sad ending, has a strong impact on the soul, until the curtain falls for a long time, then there is thunderous applause!
"Commander Wang, what a Yue Opera, the Yue Opera will be popular, the old man is willing to arrange the performance, Baobao is full, and it will definitely surpass the Peking Opera that is full of people!" Zheng Yongtai was the first to shout!
"The surname Zheng, why is it arranged by you, and all the benefits of daring are taken by you? Let's all take turns, first play the name of Yue Opera in Zhejiang, and then develop the whole country! β
"Yes, yes, with the full support of our Ningbo Qianzhuang industry, why worry about the Yue Opera not being popular?" (To be continued......) R1292
