Chapter 55: The Science of Gift-giving

Industrial salvation has always been a loud slogan, Zhang Tinglan made four factories at once, it stands to reason that there should be a big publicity, so that the people of Fengtian know, to attract them to consume, but after all, his machine is smuggled over, or a little weak-minded, so he is reluctant to make a noise.

In addition, according to Zhang Tinglan's Jihua, after the goods are produced, they are sold to Russia directly through Fred's relationship, and they are all over the matter, as low-key as possible. However, as soon as Wang Yongjiang reminded him, Zhang Tinglan suddenly thought of a way to make money, Russia is a poor ghost, and it is Britain and France who are really throwing a lot of money, if they can sell things to Europe, it is definitely a good thing.

As long as they had business dealings with Britain and France, they would be able to take the opportunity to understand the situation in Europe and prepare for the post-war attempt to take Germany down. This time I went to Beijing, I could find an opportunity to contact Britain and France to find a market. When Zhang Tinglan thought of this, she made up her mind that she would follow her when she entered Beijing this time, but who should she hand over the mess of things at home?

"Tinglan, in this world, most of the things that can't be put on the table have unsavory secrets, don't you say?"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Yongjiang, you are really right, my machine is not coming from the right way!" ”

Liu Shucheng also knew how these machines came about, he glanced at Zhang Tinglan and asked him not to say more, after all, he was not familiar with Wang Yongjiang, in case this person was not of the same mind as them, it would be troublesome. However, Zhang Tinglan believes in Wang Yongjiang's character very much, and Zhang Tinglan also wants to pull Wang Yongjiang into the gang as soon as possible.

This time Zhang Zuolin went to Beijing, Zhang Tinglan also had to follow, all the work of Fengtian has just begun, and there must be people with sufficient ability and identity to sit in charge. Among the characters that Zhang Tinglan can use, Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan have the ability and no identity, Zhang Zuoxiang and others have enough prestige, but they are not familiar with business matters, and Wang Yongjiang is the most suitable if he can help.

"Tinglan, running a factory is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, even if your machine comes from the wrong way, as long as it is not a disaster to the people, I agree. It is normal to use some villain methods, but Fengtian Japanese goods are popular, and it is not easy for domestic products to fight their way out! ”

"Mr. Yongjiang, I can trust you, to tell you the truth, these things are all Russian, I dismantled their factories and shipped the machines directly!"

As soon as Wang Yongjiang heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Tinglan, isn't Russia in the midst of a war, their factories are very valuable, how can they sell them casually?" ”

"Sir, haven't you heard that money can make ghosts grind, Sha'e people are more greedy than our officials, as long as the money is enough, everything will be easy to do!"

Wang Yongjiang nodded and said: "I have also contacted some people in Tsarist Russia, they are indeed insatiable, I don't know how much money you use for these machines?" ”

Zhang Tinglan stretched out two fingers and shook them, smiling without saying a word, looking like Wang Yongjiang guessed the riddle.

"200,000 yuan is not a small amount!" Wang Yongjiang sighed: "Usually it is enough to buy less than 100,000 yuan, but now it is in the middle of the war, even if you have money, you can't buy it, it's worth spending more!" ”

"Haha, Mr. Yongjiang, it's not 200,000!"

Wang Yongjiang was stunned for a while, looking at Zhang Tinglan's proud appearance, the price would definitely not be too expensive, so he asked tentatively: "20,000 yuan?" If it's this price, it's definitely cheaper. ”

"It's two thousand dollars!"

Wang Yongjiang almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, where is this to buy a machine, it is simply buying scrap iron, even cheaper than the price of scrap iron!

Looking at Wang Yongjiang with an incredible face, Zhang Tinglan couldn't be happier in her heart, which can make the most shrewd people in this era unexpected, which shows that her hard work has not been in vain.

"Mr. Yongjiang, this matter is also very simple, and it can be explained to you and the plate, but I have one request, that is, you can help me manage the bad things in front of me."

Wang Yongjiang's face showed a playful look, and he laughed twice: "Young Master Zhang, I'm not a curious person, it's better to have more than one thing, and it's better to have nothing to do less!" ”

Wang Yongjiang stood up as he spoke, and was about to leave, Zhang Tinglan still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care, he picked up the gaiwan tea on the table, took a sip, and was full of calmness.

"Young Master Zhang, you're going to eat me!" Wang Yongjiang took two steps, sat down again, and said with a wry smile: "I can do things for your Young Master Zhang, but everything depends on my mood, I will take care of it more if I am in a good mood, and I don't care if I am in a bad mood, even if the sky falls." ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled and arched his hand at Wang Yongjiang: "What kind of person, sir, you will definitely not be untargeted today, since you asked, I guess you can't refuse to help!" ”

Wang Yongjiang shook his shirt and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to know about the factory, how many years have I been shouting to save the country through industry, but the results are not great, I just want to see what Young Master Zhang does with the factory." It turned out that you still have the ability to take advantage of foreigners, which has not been a thing for many years, such an interesting thing, Wang is really a little itchy, and he can't help but want to intervene. ”

"Mr. Yongjiang, I am smuggling luxury goods to Russia, making huge profits from them, and then using this money to buy off the Russian elites, it will not be difficult to get the machine!"

Wang Yongjiang's eyes were sharp, he stared at Zhang Tinglan, and asked again: "The smuggling business, you are not familiar with the place, you will definitely not be able to do it, do you have a helper!" ”

"Fred, the manager of Daosheng Bank."

Wang Yongjiang hahadaxiao: "Understood, understood!" Wang Yongjiang suddenly smiled and said: "I have long heard that in foreign countries, the bank is huge, and if you can form an alliance with them, there is nothing that cannot be done, Tinglan, you have taken a high step!" ”

The reason why Wang Yongjiang is known as a financial expert is because this person has a vision far beyond ordinary people, and he has a very in-depth understanding of finance. In later generations, after he assisted Zhang Zuolin, he quickly stabilized the financial order of Fengtian, allowing Fengtian to maintain a stable exchange rate with the yen, which greatly promoted Fengtian's export trade.

Therefore, after Zhang Tinglan said that he had obtained cooperation with the banker, Wang Yongjiang immediately guessed the transaction behind it.

"Sir, Fred and I are not optimistic about the future of Russia, Tsarist Russia, a clay-legged giant, may not be able to survive this unprecedented war, the collapse of the empire is imminent, we just want to make some war money and dead people's money!"

"Done right!" Wang Yongjiang said coldly: "Over the years, the Russians have done evil in the three eastern provinces, harming many Chinese people, and it is impossible to overstate how to deal with them. But I don't know much about the situation in Russia, Tinglan, can you guarantee that Tsarist Russia will collapse? ”

"I can guarantee that there will be upheaval in Russia, and Fred and I have agreed on this!"

Wang Yongjiang nodded, then stood up, turned around twice with his hands behind his back, and then said: "Tinglan, since you are sure that Russia will definitely collapse, then you can have a faster way to make money, let the Russians shed more blood, just rely on smuggling, making money is too slow!" ”

As soon as he heard the word "making money", Zhang Tinglan also widened his eyes, don't look at Zhang Tinglan's non-stop work during this time, and he has a lot of money in his hands, but Zhang Tinglan knows that Lao Zhang is only one step away from the governor of Fengtian. Once Lao Zhang's official position is up, Fengtian will have large-scale economic construction, and at that time, how much money will not be enough, so Zhang Tinglan is extremely interested in any way to get money quickly.

"Please also ask the gentleman to give me advice!"

"It's nothing more than making a fuss about the currency, you can first lend a part of the ruble to the Russian bank, and then exchange it for gold, and wait for Russia to collapse, when the ruble will definitely plummet, or even become waste paper, when you repay the money, buy the ruble with a small amount of money, and return it to the bank!"

Wang Yongjiang said a few words, Zhang Tinglan's eyes were a little red, what is a talent, this is a talent! The money-making method mentioned by Wang Yongjiang also appeared in later generations, that is, when the Soviet Union collapsed, foreign capital used financial liliang to devalue the ruble overnight into waste paper, and the Russians painstakingly accumulated for decades, and the amount of assets amounting to tens of trillions of dollars was all plundered.

Wang Yongjiang is obviously not a traverser, but with his extraordinary economic acumen, he also thought of a similar idea of making money, and Russia was still on the gold standard at this time, so he could find a way to arbitrage Russia's gold.

China was not a big producer of gold and silver, and it has been plundered by foreign powers for nearly a hundred years, and there is a serious shortage of precious metals in society. If a batch of gold can be obtained from Russia, it will be of incomparable significance to ensure the security of Mukden's currency.

Although Zhang Tinglan is astute, he was still an ordinary college student in his previous life, and his vision of making money was still limited to real things, and he didn't consider the weapon of finance at all.

Zhang Tinglan stood up and gave a deep salute to Wang Yongjiang: "Mr. Yongjiang, you are really talented!" Attacking Russia is not for his own selfishness, but to give Fengtian the opportunity to regain development, and please ask Mr. to help Fengtian for the sake of Fengtian and even the Chinese people! ”

Wang Yongjiang hahadaxiao, grabbed Zhang Tinglan, and said: "I have seen it these days, Tinglan, you are a sincere person, just a northern market, you can benefit the merchants of Fengtian and save commercial rights." In contrast, although Yongjiang is several times older than you, he has not done anything to the people of Fengtian over the years, which is ashamed to say. ”

"It's not too late, sir, I'll contact Fred immediately, one of you is an excellent banker, the other is a financial manager, work closely together, and you will definitely be able to squeeze out the bone marrow oil of the Russians!"

On the way to Daosheng Bank, Zhang Tinglan mentioned that he was going to accompany Zhang Zuolin to Beijing to report on his work.

"Zhang Yuting, Gao Sheng is just around the corner, but Beijing City is mixed, speculators from all walks of life gather, and it is not easy to get Lao Yuan's recognition,"

"Mr. is right, Yuan Shikai is surrounded by a bunch of official fans, Zhang Xiluan has resigned, how many people are like cats that smell fishy, and they are ready to snatch this throne. We can only do our best and give a little more gift, which can always touch people's hearts. ”

"Hehe, gift-giving is a bad habit in Beiyang." Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "The officials of Beiyang are similar to the former Qing Dynasty, the first pays attention to the relationship, the second pays attention to gifts, and the ability and the like are second, but this gift is also asked by the university, how to send it can play the role of four or two thousand catties, and the proportion must be grasped well!" ”

Zhang Tinglan took over the task of buying gifts, he was worried about what to give, and now when he heard Wang Yongjiang say this, he knew that this was an expert, so he smiled and said: "Please also ask Mr. for advice!" ”
