Chapter 144: Waiting for the anxious foreign merchants
Since Gannan Province was officially recognized by the governors of each province, it belonged to the control of the Xu Jiajun. The young governor who triggered the telegram of Longhua National University at the beginning finally officially entered the Governor's Mansion of Hero City under the protection of his most elite and trusted guard battalion.
Compared with the previous time Xu Bin went out of the city, the people in the city were a little frightened, but after coming back this time, the people in the city rushed to watch. They also wanted to see what this young governor, who had almost been deified during this time, looked like.
In the face of these people's scrambling to watch, the guards in charge of the guards undoubtedly looked very nervous. Fortunately, these people were very restrained, and did not rush into the cordon set up by the soldiers, but crowded to watch this, walking in the four young men who were guarding the front and back, left and right.
When some of the people saw it, the young governor's face really looked very immature. If it weren't for the fact that the military uniform looked a little mature, and he walked in the crowd in casual clothes, I'm afraid no one would dare to imagine it. It was such a young man who had now become the governor of the Zoi. To say that he is a young hero does not seem to be too much!
Xu Bin also knew very well that no matter how serious he pretended to be, he couldn't change the fact that his face was tender. Therefore, he showed some kindness to the people as much as possible, and when he looked at some shouting people, he also nodded and waved and smiled from time to time to express his gratitude.
In the end, under the escort of Xu Jiacheng and others, he entered the Governor's Mansion in the hero city, and the people did not dare to approach at will. Of course, this governor's mansion was also picked up by Xu Bin after Ning Qingyuan, the governor, left. As for some people saying that it is unlucky, they want to build another governor's palace to work. Xu Bin didn't agree to this, and he was laughed at and scolded as a loser.
Compared with today's warlords in Longhua, Xu Jiajun does not have a problem with funds at present, but with the implementation of Jihuahaode projects one by one. No matter how much money there is. Xu Bin can also turn it into urgently needed equipment and materials to add to this Gannan Road, which is as poor as two white. Therefore, he must spend every penny in his hand on the blade.
As for the so-called auspiciousness and unluck, Xu Bin originally felt that the construction of this governor's palace was a bit too extravagant. Even in order to set an example, he also deliberately asked people to take out some luxury antiques and furniture in the governor's palace for the logistics department to deal with and realize. Try to make the Governor's Palace a simple but practical office.
In his words, the Xu family is now in the army from top to small. It's not time to enjoy life yet. This style of thrifty housekeeping needs to be retained. In this regard, the chief of staff and the logistics unit have also unanimously agreed.
Some of the clerks who had been selected to work in the Governor's Mansion were also extremely nervous when they saw that the owner of the house had finally returned. Fortunately, Xu Bin is the young governor. I met with each of these staff members one by one.
They also offered verbal rewards for their work during this time. And cordially with these were specially drawn here. Talking to the staff who served Xu Bin, the governor. Tell them to treat him as a governor in business, but not too seriously in private.
After all, according to Xu Bin's instructions, most of the staff transferred here are some young people who are full of energy. If you take it too seriously, you will undoubtedly lose Xu Bin's suggestion. With the unique vigor of young people, we will push the military and political work in Gannan even further.
When those foreign merchants who had been inquiring about Xu Bin's whereabouts recently, they learned that the governor-general had returned to the governor's palace. Prepare to go to the governor. Let's talk about the order. But he got a reply from the staff of the Governor's Palace, that is, Xu Bin was too tired from the inspection during this time, and he wanted to take a good rest in the past two days. If there's anything going on, I'd better wait two days and come back.
And as for the purchase of orders, he will entertain foreign businessmen who have supported the work of the military government in the banquet hall of the Governor's Palace. Soon, an invitation card from the junta will be delivered to them. At that banquet, Xu Bin will give a specific explanation of the order to these anxious foreign businessmen.
Although he still couldn't meet the young governor, he heard that in two days, the young governor would hold a banquet similar to the merchants. In public, the representatives of various countries gathered at the banquet site were informed of the specific matters of the order.
In this way, their plan to go through the back door will be in vain. Next, if you want to get this order that all governments strongly want to win, I am afraid that you will also have to experience a real knife and gun.
Some foreign businessmen who thought that Xu Bin should be fooled when he was young at the beginning, after receiving this reply, undoubtedly dispelled the idea of fooling the other party. Involved in such a large order purchase, these countries with excess capacity, as long as they can sell these things that are relatively common in their countries, they are willing to do so even if they don't make money.
After all, if these things are not sold, they will be a pile of garbage in their own country, and they will really be worthless after a long time.
Unlike other foreign merchants, they only get invitation cards from the Governor's Palace, while the military attache of the Eagle Kingdom in Gannan and the rookies in the foreign industry Booker and Ellen are all in the foreign industry. In addition to getting this invitation card, I also got an invitation to a dinner party after the young governor returned. This kind of special treatment has undoubtedly attracted protests from many foreign businessmen.
But in response to the protests of these foreign businessmen, the staff of the Governor's Office told these foreign businessmen that they were thinking a little too much. This is just a personal friendship between the governor and these two eagle people, just out of friendship, inviting them to come over the mansion for a gathering.
At least for now, the foreign merchants know that the rookie merchant Booker Allen, who was ridiculed by them back then, was the buyer of the shipload of weapons Zuihou is the young governor who now controls Gannan. And it's extremely cheap. Although he didn't make any money, getting acquainted with such a rising star undoubtedly made these foreign businessmen feel that this Booker Ellen was really shit lucky.
Whether they say Booker has gone shit luck or cow shit luck, at least for now. This time the order thrown out by the governor of Gannan undoubtedly gave the Eagle Nation one more chance to win than them.
Now it will be up to the young governor to bid for these orders fairly, impartially and openly, as he claims. Whoever gives something good and cheap, then he buys it. These orders will never be handed over to them because they are dissatisfied with that country, or because they have a good impression of that country.
For a long time, the people of the Eagle Country have been more interested in Xu Bin, the original anti-government leader, just to create some trouble for the people of the United States. In addition, those things are also a waste in the country, and they can be exchanged for money and bring trouble to the colonies of the Mi people. In this way, the Eagle Country government provided Xu Bin with a lot of much-needed weapons and equipment.
Whether it is out of personal friendship or good feelings, at least Xu Bin knows that now he wants to let the people of the United States recognize the reality. If you don't talk about the fact of the Gannan tariff, then Xu Bin, a native of the Eagle Country, must make friends. Of course, this kind of friendship does not betray the interests of the country and the dignity of the individual. If he wants to sell these two things, Xu Bin would rather have a hard time with the people of the United States than let these foreigners underestimate him.
Escorted by a team of guards at the Governor's Palace, Booker and Harry looked very gentlemanly with these elite guards to the banquet room of the Governor's Mansion in the envious and jealous eyes of those foreign merchants. Seeing this time, they also wanted to find Xu Bin.
Facing the governor who was still a few months old and was awarded the title of viscount in the previous transaction, Harry Edward, the consul military attaché, also lamented that he really underestimated the other party at the beginning. Even if he realized at that time that Xu Bin would make a difference, he would never think of it. In less than two years, the other party has gone from a local warlord to a big warlord in Longhua in one fell swoop.
After the two sides greeted each other politely, Xu Bin also introduced the two of them, Situ Baili, who was also invited by him to the banquet today, and Xu Yizhong, the second uncle whom both of them had seen.
Compared with the cottage tent on the mountain back then, Xu Yizhong, who has now become the head of the Xu family's army, also has a trace of the momentum of a superior person. Although his personality is still like to be smaller. But it is precisely because of his character that Xu Bin is relieved to hand over the financial power to him.
As for Situ Baili, the chief of staff of the Xu Jiajun who met for the first time, except that Booker had just come to Longhua, he was not very clear. As a military attache stationed in Longhua, Harry knew that Situ Baili, who had a good reputation in the Longhua military circles, joined the Xu family army to partner with Xu Bin. The role is simply as simple as one plus one.
What made Harry really puzzled was how Admiral Situ Baili, who was originally recognized by all parties in Longhua, could be willing to become a subordinate of the young governor. If he had ulterior motives, then the situation that their Eagle Nation intelligence department had recently controlled could not see any sign of this. If he is sincerely obedient to Xu Bin, then Xu Bin's ability is only afraid that they will have to improve a few levels.
Xu Bin, who became a governor, invited two friends to come over for dinner again, naturally not as shabby as he used to be in the cottage. Although the food is not a luxury, it is undoubtedly more abundant than before. And in order to take care of foreigners' love of drinking red wine, Xu Bin also replaced the evening wine with red wine.
After a conversation at the wine table, Harry also duly brought up the matter of the order and the limit given to him by the state. That is, if you can get the order, the Eagle Country can also provide Wu Dao with some interest-free loans. Moreover, there are no political conditions attached, which can be said to be unique in the process of dealing with the warlords of Longhua in various countries today.
Even Situ Baili, who came over tonight as a guest, was undoubtedly a little moved when he heard the conditions that the Eagle Country government had given Xu Bin. It's just that Xu Bin knows very well that there is no free lunch in the world. Although he would love to get more interest-free loans, loans conditional on orders. In a sense, it was easy for him to offend other foreign businessmen. In the long run, this is undoubtedly not worth it. Killing chickens and taking eggs, Xu Bin asked himself if he would do it!
