Chapter 42: Seeking Wealth (First Update, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The Anti-Smoking Bureau, came to the Anti-Smoking Bureau again, looked at the tall yamen of the Anti-Smoking Bureau, Song Yuxin's heart was a sigh, when he founded the Anti-Smoking Bureau with the adults, how could he have thought that when the Anti-Smoking Bureau was first formed, it was the day when the adults left Hubei.
However, even so, just as the adults expected at the beginning - this anti-smoking bureau has become the foundation of Hubei's foreign affairs with a huge tobacco tax.
"Brother Jieqi!"
Zhao Fengchang, who came out of the yamen, immediately became enthusiastic when he saw Song Yuxin, although the adults rectified the anti-smoking bureau a while ago, which really made him panic, but in the end, the stick was just raised high, and it fell gently, and it was nothing more than silver to adults. As long as the anti-smoking bureau can release the money to the treasury on time for the adults to do foreign affairs, the adults will turn a blind eye.
The reason why this will be so enthusiastic is that it is easy to say, but it is because this anti-smoking bureau was originally run by Tang Haoran, and Song Yuxin is his confidant, no matter what, at least Zhao Fengchang has a love for him in the matter of the anti-smoking bureau.
"I heard that my brother is in charge of North Korea with my brother, how can I have time to come to Wuchang?"
Curious, Zhao Fengchang seized the opportunity to say.
"Revisiting the old place, do you feel it?"
Song Yuxin, who has asked for help on this trip, said with a smile.
"It's also a shame that Lord Zhao, within a few months, will spread this smoking ban to the whole province of Hubei, and when Lord Tang mentions this matter, he also admires Lord Zhao!"
Song Yuxin's praise was really useful to Zhao Fengchang, especially when this praise came from Tang Haoran, with some pride on his face. But he said modestly.
"Look at what you said. Thanks to the rules set by Ziran at the beginning. I'm just drawing a scoop on a gourd, which can deserve this boast! ”
With a modest mouth, Zhao Fengchang changed the topic again and began to ask about Tang Haoran's situation in North Korea, and Song Yuxin told him one by one that Zhao Fengchang naturally praised and admired Tang Haoran's supervision of North Korea. In short, the good words were all over, and when it came, he turned the conversation around, stared at Song Yuxin and said.
"Jie Qi, you and I are not outsiders, you also know my friendship with Ziran, why did you come to Hubei at this time? Could it be Ziran's ......"
Zhao Fengchang didn't finish his words, but his eyes were looking at Song Yuxin.
"My lord, the reason why I came to Hubei is because of the current predicament of my family. You have to get the help of old friends in Hubei. ”
Song Yuxin was not polite, and directly picked out his intention - silver.
“…… So which. If there is no help from Lord Zhao's anti-smoking bureau, I am afraid that this bank will not succeed in Hankou! ”
"Hmmm! This ......"
Zhao Fengchang glanced at Song Yuxin first, and muttered in his heart, this Tang Ziran's request is nothing, it is nothing more than to deposit the concessionaire's deposit collected by the Anti-Smoking Bureau into the Bank of North Korea, which is not difficult...... After a moment of silence, he immediately said confidently,
"It's not difficult, but brother, even if this silver is to be deposited in this North Korean bank, I'm afraid this North Korean bank has to open in Hankou first!"
Zhao Fengchang did not refuse, although the Bank of North Korea is a bank set up by the Korean Unified Supervision Office, but if there is no consent of the Lord of Taiwan, how can he set up a bank in Hankou, if he has the permission of the adult, he has to do this favor no matter what, if the Lord does not agree...... Then don't blame Zhao for not remembering the old love.
"This ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yuxin continued.
"Please rest assured, Lord Tai's side will definitely not return to this matter, and if you can get your lord's words today, you will be able to explain to Lord Tang!"
After being polite for a while, after sending Song Yuxin out of the yamen, Zhao Fengchang just returned to the yamen, and saw Sang Zhiping walking out of the inner hall and looking at Zhao Fengchang with a smile.
"Mr. Zhongzi, why are you laughing at this?"
Personally poured a cup of tea for Sang Zhiping, Zhao Fengchang asked with a smile.
"Zhujun, that is, you, blamed everything on the adult!"
Sang Zhiping's words were not polite, but in this scene, only he entered the scene as Zhang Zhidong's old friend, and he could say such things to Zhao Fengchang, the chief copywriter.
"Look at what you said, I just said that if the Bank of North Korea really set up a branch in Hankou, I would deposit the silver without him Song Jieqi coming to the door or Ziran saying hello."
Although the cigarette money from the Anti-Smoking Bureau is deposited in the HSBC Bank, Zhao Fengchang can get a benefit of one percent every year, but if the adult has an order, he can only follow it. However, he did not continue on the issue, but asked rhetorically.
"Why did Ziran think of running a bank?"
"Banking is also a science."
Sang Zhiping sighed and said.
"If I remember correctly, in "Tai Xice", Zi Ran once mentioned that the bankers of modern Western countries seem to be polite and polite, but in fact they are in power, and they are strategizing in their mouths, and the world's finance is completely controlled by them, and the factories and businesses of various countries and even the governments also look up to them.
Sang Zhiping's words made Zhao Fengchang nod his head in disbelief.
"I see! What does that mean ......"
Sang Zhiping, who was silent, took out a notebook from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.
"This is an adult's approval, please take a look at it."
Slowly opened the adult's approval, and when he saw the content clearly, Zhao Fengchang's face couldn't help but change slightly, the master of Taiwan not only agreed to the North Korean bank to open business in Huguang, but also prepared to deposit the special funds of the Navy Yamen Railway into the bank to earn interest, on the surface, the interest rate of 7% is much higher than the interest rate of HSBC, but what is the meaning behind this move? What is the need to say more?
"I see!"
Nodding, Zhao Fengchang hurriedly said gratefully.
"Thank you, Mr. Nakako, for the reminder!"
Regarding Zhao Fengchang's thanks, Sang Zhiping did not respond, but said directly.
"Adults have always praised Zhujun as a person who can read and do things, and I think that even if I don't need to remind him, Zhujun naturally knows what to do."
At first glance. Zhao Fengchang didn't care. can think a little about Sang Zhiping's words. Immediately, he was so anxious that his head was sweating, thinking of the dissatisfaction of the adults who presided over the anti-smoking bureau a while ago, although the silver that was released from the treasury was finally "normal", but who knows if there are some whispers in the hearts of adults, and now Sang Zhiping's words made his heart tighten, and he hurriedly said earnestly:
"This ...... Please also make it clear to Mr. Nakako! ”
"Zhujun, you have to know. There are some things that adults want to do, but can't do, want to help, but can't help! That's all you need to know."
Sang Zhiping smiled, stood up and said:
"Okay, it's not too early, I still have some things over there, Zhujun, if you say something. Think for yourself! I'm going to see Jieqi now! ”
dropped a sentence, ignoring Zhao Fengchang's anxious face. Sang Zhiping left the anti-smoking bureau directly, when he left the anti-smoking bureau, he thought that others had embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels after impeaching Zhao Fengchang for presiding over the anti-smoking bureau, but he smiled coldly, and then shook his head and sighed secretly, with a helpless look on his face.
"That's all I can do to help you......"
Tang Haoran, who was far away in Seoul, naturally did not know the progress of the Hubei loan, nor did he know the thoughts of Zhang Zhidong and Sang Zhiping, as in the past, in recent times, his whole person was completely accompanied by the matter of money, with the development of various affairs, the silver flowed out every day, and seeing that the company and the bank were about to bottom, the mood was naturally not as good as day by day. So much so that now, Tang Haoran can only completely put his hope on the bank.
"If you don't have enough money on your own, you have to think of using other people's money!"
When he walked towards the Jiqì Bureau located in the north of the city, Tang Haoran, who was sitting in the carriage, said to Tang Rongjun beside him. He didn't have enough money, so he had to think about it differently, except for silver and copper dollars, but he had already put his thoughts on the bank.
"Adults mean borrowing money?"
As the general office of the Bank of Korea, Tang Rongjun was the only one of all the young children studying in the United States who studied finance and had experience in banking, and it was precisely for this reason that he was appointed as the head office of the Bank of Korea as soon as he arrived, responsible for the establishment of the Bank of Korea, and his work was also extremely good -- it only took one and a half months to imitate the various banking systems first formulated by HSBC, and a group of depressed Chinese employees from foreign banks were brought in from Shanghai, Tianjin, and other places.
Now that Tang Haoran had just pointed to using someone else's money, Tang Rongjun immediately contacted the loan, so he immediately suggested.
"My lord, isn't there a letter from Pyongyang? At present, a number of open-pit mines have been found in the Pyongyang area, and the deepest layer is less than 15 feet, if it is a qiē shun lì, the coal can be produced at the end of the year, and when the Taedong River thaws next year, the shipping company can first transport the coal to the treaty ports of Tianjin, Shanghai and other places, and after the coal road is paved, the shipping company can mortgage the shipping company to a bank such as HSBC in advance......"
Tang Rongjun cautiously said his plan, in the process of creating the Bank of North Korea, he finally figured out the current situation of the Unified Supervision Office, in North Korea it seems that the high-ranking Unified Supervision Office has not a penny, all the funds are from the "Beiyang Industrial Company", and Beiyang Industrial is actually Tang Haoran's private property, as for the 500,000 yuan founded by the Bank of North Korea, it is just the funds handed over by the North Korean government to the Unified Supervision Office, and there are even 200,000 old money, and it is very appropriate to describe the poverty and poverty of the United Supervision Office. This has made him more stressed, and how to raise money is not only a matter for the unified supervision office, but also a matter for him, the general manager of the bank.
"In this way, part of the funds can be recovered from the shipping company, and this money can be used for the expansion of the coal mine, and after the expansion of the coal mine is launched, the coal mine mortgage will be used for the construction of the railway, first to build the Renhan line, and then after it is completed, it will be mortgaged ......."
Listening to Tang Rongjun's "financing method" of mortgage and remortgage, he just smiled slightly, this kind of business method was extremely common in the expansion of enterprises in later generations, and now Tang Rongjun can come up with such an idea, it is difficult for him.
"Shuqi,"
Staring at Tang Rongjun, Tang Haoran asked with a smile.
"I always need to repay the borrowed money, and besides, such a little money can't solve the problem, is there any other way for Shuqi to help me?"
After a pause, Tang Haoran said softly.
"Help me get a few million taels of silver?"
