Chapter 50 Reasons for Bargaining

One handed a cigarette, the other lit a fire, and Fang Dashuai, who enjoyed some service, then spoke slowly: "Twenty armored trains, delivered within two years, if you can send me one, second-hand is no problem." ”

Obviously, this order is not small, but compared to half a million rifles, it is really unbalanced. However, Victor has no confidence in front of Fang Dashuai, and ninety percent of his performance is given by Fang Dashuai.

"No problem, what else do you need me to serve you?" Victor has a very good attitude, as long as the boss is still there, he is not afraid of not having to do business.

"I also need equipment for four heavy artillery brigades, half of 105 and half of 150 caliber guns, this one should be fast, it is better to arrive in half a year. The payment for these two orders went to Germany for loans. Fang Jianxiong thought about it, but still added a little business. There is no such thing as heavy artillery, and it really can't work, of course, it can't be done with a lot of equipment, so let's get some of it first.

The loan was used to buy arms, Fang Jianxiong was still a little distressed, but in order to form a combat effectiveness as much as possible, it could only be so. At the end of the day, the country is really too backward.

After calming the grievances of the Germans, Anqing is close at hand. The Hairong docked at the dock, and when Fang Jianxiong got off the ship, Song Hanzhang and Gu Heng were waiting here. Seeing these two, Fisher turned his head and whispered to Douglas: "Mr. Gu is the person in charge of the minting, and Song Hanzhang is in charge of the bank's operation. These two people are Fang's main assistants in terms of economy. ”

Douglas is in a good mood right now, and the good couldn't be better. Fisher secretly told the other side of the bottom line in his heart, 55 yuan a rifle, which made an astonishing profit. Half of that is paid for in Treasury bonds, but what is the problem with those on Wall Street selling Treasury bonds? You can even make a lot of money through the issuance of guò treasury bonds.

"Thank you! On behalf of the Government of the United States, I thank you. "Moral Russ is sincere. Fisher also replied sincerely: "No, I am a citizen of the United States, and the national interest must come first." ”

"If there's anything you need help with, be sure to tell me." Douglas is well aware that profit is the most reliable. Fisher has the opportunity to be at the heart of China's financial sector, which is absolutely a great thing for the United States.

Looking at the back of the dock shaking hands with the Anqing pick-up official, Fisher shook his head slightly and said, "Things are not so simple, Fang is a person with sensitive feelings." I can't let him perceive his true intentions. Otherwise. I'm going to be kicked out mercilessly. ”

The whispers between the Americans, which attracted the disdain and hatred of the Germans. The conflict of interests is always the beginning of grievances! The Andreist envoy has realized that the Americans bring a heavy dà threat. This news must be reported in a timely manner.

After Fang Jianxiong walked away surrounded by the guards, the Fushimi slowly landed on the shore. Sheng Xuanhuai, who was pale, was a little soft when he got off the boat, he didn't really want to come this time. It's a pity that the Japanese forced him to come. Besides, with such a big industry as Han Yeping, it is impossible for Sheng Xuanhuai to give up. Now the whole Han Yeping. Relying on Daye's iron ore output, he is hanging. Putting this aside, Sheng Xuanhuai has other industries in China, and once the government confiscates the industry. How will you gain a foothold in China in the future? The Japanese are not a good thing, but Sheng Xuanhuai has no choice, and he can only hold on to his thirst by drinking water to quench his thirst.

Fang Jianxiong directly lived in the military camp outside the city, and had no intention of entering Anqing City to live. Staying overnight in Anqing is naturally for safety reasons. At the same time, it also means to inspect the mint. The issuance of banknotes is the predetermined policy, and for the time being, Fang Jianxiong cannot rush it. Ensuring that banknotes can be converted into silver dollars at any time to avoid causing a credit crisis is Fang Dashuai's cautious and superficial financial common sense.

"Sir, the Germans are still reputable, and the loan of 10 million gold marks has been received and all of them have been exchanged for silver dollars. With this money as a deposit, we can issue an additional 20 million yuan in tickets. Other than that....... Song Hanzhang made a report for the first time, and Fang Jianxiong listened very carefully, turning his head from time to time to look at the American financial advisor around him. Of course, the Germans would not have appeared at this time.

"The margin is still too small. Fisher, can you think of a way, I need $10 million as a deposit for the bank's currency. Fang Jianxiong asked very suddenly, when Fisher showed embarrassment, Douglas quietly stepped on Fisher's foot, which means that this opportunity cannot be missed, Fisher smiled and said: "Dear Fang, American friends are very willing to help you with this." Of course, this requires a little bit of interest. ”

"Well, if the interest is less, our friendship will be stronger. Do you say? Mr. Douglas? "In front of the Americans, discussing the issue of banknotes, this made Douglas very excited. This kind of thing is not something that any cat or dog can mix in. This illustrates a problem, Fisher's status in Fang Jianxiong's mind is very high. In other words, the interests between Fang Jianxiong and Fisher are deeply bound. Otherwise, even if you cry and shout, kneel on the ground and beg, Fang Dashuai will not look at you.

"How about 7% per annum? You should know that I am responsible for the shareholders of the bank. Fisher sat upright, posing as if he was ready to go under the knife. Douglas on the side had a black line in his head, and his heart was in a hurry. With such a high annual interest, can it represent friendship? Douglas didn't believe it.

“7%？ No, I think our friendship should be at the level of 2%. Fang Dashuai's expression made Douglas think that he was dreaming, how could this handsome man be like this, a street vendor bargaining. It's a $10 million loan, not a street grocery store.

"No, no, no! This is absolutely unacceptable, 6%, I want the mining rights of Tongguanshan Copper Mine. Fisher was very skilled and began to bargain, Fang Dashuai looked displeased, glared and said: "Fisher, isn't our friendship for many years worth cherishing?" 3%。 ”

"Honorable Fang, I have always cherished the friendship between us, 5%, I want five percent of the shares of Bank of China, of course, I can invest." Fisher's concessions were very limited, and he didn't even look worried about Fang Dashuai's face. Douglas is also considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and this will have the feeling that his heart is not in control. How did this Fisher do it? How could such a great opportunity be missed like this? Don't......?

Fang Dashuai pondered for a long time, his face slowly sank, Fisher didn't seem to be worried at all, but picked up the teacup very gracefully and drank the tea slowly.

"The shares of the Bank of China will never be considered, so you can ask for other things." Fang Dashuai finally relented, and Fisher sat still, putting down the teacup and groaning. Douglas almost shouted: "Promise him, promise him!" Don't ask for anything else. That's already good. ”

"Well, for the sake of many years of friendship, 5% per annum. In addition to the Tongguanshan copper mine, there is also the expansion project of Wuhan wharf. "Fisher, this guy really deserves to be a Jew, too ruthless. Douglas felt that the heart was no longer his own, and this scene would probably be remembered for a lifetime. Years later, while writing his memoirs, Douglas mentioned the incident and summed it up in one sentence. Even a financier as clever as Fisher failed to take much advantage of Fang Jianxiong's hands in the end, and the Chinese, after completing the establishment of a monetary system with the help of the dollar, turned around and left the Americans aside. "Fang Jianxiong is the most cunning opponent I have ever seen in my life, there is no one!"

"4%, that's better for everyone." Fang Jianxiong made another bid, and after Fisher pondered for a while, he said lightly: "Deal, I can't help but say, you persuaded me." ”

Douglas had the urge to rejoice, because Fang Jianxiong borrowed money for the purpose of issuing banknotes. This step out of the country seems small, but in fact it is the most difficult step. China is huge, and once Fang Jianxiong seizes the rule, he needs to issue a lot of banknotes, which is a good start to cooperation. Putting aside the essence of this matter, from a banker's point of view, such loans are undoubtedly the most popular. There is no risk, and the benefits are huge.

"Well, happy cooperation!" Fang Jianxiong put away his gloomy expression and stood up with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand.

At the moment of the handshake, Douglas's heart was still beating violently. As he was leaving, Douglas asked Fisher in confusion: "Mr. Fisher, it is really difficult for me to understand, why do you repeatedly struggle with the party?" ”

"Mr. Douglas, you still don't know much about him. If I say yes too simply, he'll wonder if I have any other purpose. So I'm going to embarrass him and make him think that this deal won't come easily. Actually, the reason is very simple, but Douglas is just stunned by the huge benefits that may be in front of him.

"Aren't you worried about the Germans?" Douglas still asked, and Fisher shook his head: "Don't worry, you still don't understand the party." I remember talking to me about Germany once, and he said in a very emotional tone: Germany is the greatest country in Europe, but it is also the most unstable country. In particular, the Germans' approach to warfare, after establishing the status of a great power in Europe, was swayed by a false militaristic view throughout the country. Germany is indeed strong, but not strong enough to challenge the entire world order. Unfortunately, what the Germans are doing is challenging the old order. ”

Not long after the two Yankees left, Sheng Xuanhuai appeared at the gate with two Japanese. After waiting for about ten minutes, he was led into the office by the guards, and Fang Jianxiong stood on the steps, looking at Sheng Xuanhuai. What does this person say? In the history of the Westernization Movement in modern China, Sheng Xuanhuai should have accounted for a strong share, right? (To be continued.)
