Zhang Tinglan showed a confident smile on her face: "Old friend, don't worry, I am sure enough, what I should be anxious about now is whether you can find enough sales channels." Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "The North Market already has eyebrows. ”

A fluttering sentence, but it sounded like a thunderbolt in Fred's ears, he was actually the first person to contact the North Market, naturally knew the business opportunities contained in it, and he also knew the difficulty, it would definitely take a lot of effort to do this, coordinate the interests of all parties, it was very tricky to deal with, I didn't expect Zhang Tinglan to solve it so quickly, it was really unexpected.

Fred knows that the Chinese have the virtue of modesty, even if they have full certainty, they will only say eight points, Zhang Tinglan said this has proved that the North Market is almost the same, he is now in an alliance with Zhang Tinglan, naturally hope that his career will go as smoothly as possible.

So Fred smiled and said, "Zhang, congratulations, you are the most capable young man I have ever met, and it is my honor to work with you." ”

"Don't just congratulate me, we're happy." As he spoke, Zhang Tinglan took out a document from his leather bag and handed it to Fred.

"Old friend, I can't open the situation so quickly without you, this is my share for you."

As soon as Fred saw that Zhang Tinglan said very formally, he knew that this gift package could not be small, and when he took it in his hand, Fred's breath suddenly became short, it turned out that Zhang Tinglan gave him one-tenth of the shares of Xingye Company. At present, the company nominally controls the North Market, and one-tenth of the shares means one-tenth of the income of the entire North Market, and in the next three to five years, this represents more than 10 million of wealth, and it will show a geometric growth in the future.

Holding a thin piece of paper in his hand was like a mountain of gold, and he had never accumulated so much wealth in his life, and Fred's hands couldn't stop trembling.

"Old friend, I not only value the power and connections you have now, but also your own financial talents, our business will get bigger and bigger, and you will always occupy an important position."

Jewish bankers are a resounding business card, they are the most understanding of modern finance of the group of people, as a later person how can not know the importance of controlling financial liliang, if Fred can be willing to take the helm for himself, Bong in the financial field has the possibility of fighting with Japan, from this point of view, Fred's value is unparalleled.

And Fred's heart was also surging at this time, the Russian government was becoming more and more corrupt, whether the mud-legged giants could survive this war really became a problem, and even if Russia survived, Fred lost the opportunity to make war money. In addition, during the period when he was in charge of Daosheng Bank, he wantonly pursued personal gains, causing a huge deficit, and the headquarters would not let him go sooner or later, so Fred also urgently needed a way out, Zhang Tinglan threw an olive branch at this time, how could he not be happy.

"Zhang, the last time you told me to think twice, think about danger, think about change, and think about retreat! I've been thinking about this question over and over again, I could go to the pinnacle of my career because of this war, or I could go bankrupt, and you are my way out. ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled and stretched out his big hand, the two of them held their hands together, and quietly the alliance between the two people became closer and closer, and Zhang Tinglan encountered many crises in the future, relying on Fred to help him turn the crisis into safety with a strong capital liliang, and the close combination of capital and power showed an unparalleled liliang.

"Old friend, let's not think about things that are too long-term, the business in Russia has just begun, and we will continue to reap a lot of benefits. I've enlisted two big businessmen to work for me, and their network is huge, and they can definitely provide enough goods, and now it's up to you. ”

Fred carefully put away the equity certificate at this time, and then said with a smile: "There is a shortage of materials in Russia, the black market is rampant, ordinary daily necessities have been speculated to several times or even more than ten times the price, and the Russian magnates are also salivating." The Governor of the Far East was willing to set aside a portion of the wagons on a regular basis to import goods from us in the name of importing military supplies, including luxury goods favored by the upper nobility, and of course liquor, grain, furs, cloth, and other household goods. ”

The first few times Zhang Tinglan and they were still circling around the Russian military train, that is to say, when the car came, they could use their hands and feet, and now with the words of the Russian Far East Governor, it is equivalent to giving the green light, and the wagons will be directly arranged to transport materials, which is too convenient.

And this also means that the smuggling to Russia has stabilized, forming a stable chain, Zhang Tinglan is responsible for purchasing goods, the Tsarist side is responsible for providing protection, and the transportation, sales and settlement are handed over to Fred's Daosheng Bank, which is a very perfect way to cooperate, but Zhang Tinglan also found the problems in it.

That is, both he and Fred have other work to deal with, and it is impossible to focus all their energy on smuggling, but smuggling goods has to open up various joints, and special people need to be responsible. Zhang Tinglan also wanted to use commodities as a weapon to take the opportunity to infiltrate the Russian Far East. As we all know, the Russian civil war and the consequent joint intervention of various countries in Russia are China's only chance to reclaim the Outer Northeast, and that is also when the polar bear is at its weakest.

Zhang Tinglan definitely did not want to let go of this opportunity, but it was extremely difficult to do so, especially when the Beiyang government could not count on it, and could not concentrate the strength of the whole country, and it was difficult to recover his homeland with the corner of the northeast. However, Zhang Tinglan didn't want to give up the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he had to lay out in advance and work hard, so that he could hope to get back to the Outer Northeast.

In Fred's eyes, smuggling into Russia may be just a lucrative business, but in Zhang Tinglan's view, it has a more significant significance, and the perspective is different, and the things he sees are different.

"I am ready to let the Fengtian Xingye Company contribute capital to establish a special trading company, which will be mainly responsible for smuggling work to Russia."

"It's necessary, and I couldn't agree more." Fred agreed very happily, and he had already meant it, but as the business expanded, the things to deal with multiplied, and he didn't have so much energy.

"I will appoint the responsible personnel, and we will jointly send people to be responsible for the finances, and I am also going to set up a special public relations department, which is mainly responsible for opening up trade routes, buying more high-ranking Russian officials, and escorting our goods, and we will not only sell goods to the Far East, but also to Moscow."

The so-called public relations department is just Zhang Tinglan's rhetoric, in fact, this is the agency that conducts intelligence spying on Russia, where the goods go, is where the spies go, Zhang Tinglan is ready to hand over this important work to the most trusted Sun Anhu in charge, Fred is not clear about Zhang Tinglan's mind, he only wants to expand the trade route.

"Zhang, I have known for a long time that you are an ambitious person, and you have not yet swallowed the Far East, and you are thinking about Moscow. However, I would like to remind you that the nobility of Tsarist Russia was even more greedy than expected, and wanted to deepen the trade, and at least half of the profits should be given to them. ”

"More than half is nothing, even if it is seventy percent, or even eighty percent of the benefits to them."

Fred's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Zhang, you're not crazy, if you let out eighty percent of the benefits, won't we become working for the Russians, it's not cost-effective." ”

Zhang Tinglan waved his hand at Fred, "Old friend, I admit that you Jews are the best businessmen, but you have a shortcoming, that is, you attach too much importance to immediate interests and too much about gains and losses. In fact, you and I both know that smuggling is not something that lasts long, and I hope that we can make a profit in normal trade, and we can build factories to produce military supplies for the Russians. ”

"Zhang, just because the investment in trade is too large, and the results are very slow."

"But we will have factories, and we will have valuable professional workers, whether it is gold or banknotes, they are things that cannot be eaten when they are hungry, and they cannot be drunk when they are thirsty, and only by turning them into real production capacity can we improve our strength."

In the industrial age, the competition between countries is production capacity, that is, the competition of industrial workers and resources, which is vividly reflected in the two shijie wars, if you want to strengthen the Feng system, you must have your own industrial system.

Fred still seemed to have some doubts, and Zhang Tinglan simply picked out the problem.

"Old friends, buy off the upper echelons of Tsarist Russia at any cost, and then order a batch of arms production lines from the Entente in their name, and the army needs its own military industry. As long as it can produce munitions, the Feng army will soar into the sky, and I can lose temporary benefits for this goal. ”

Fred heard this and completely understood Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, and was also shocked by his thoughts, in fact, after the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the great powers imposed restrictions on the export of weapons to China, especially after World War I, the restrictions became stricter. Zhang Tinglan desperately hopes to have a certain amount of arms production capacity, at least to solve the problem of bullets and shells, and it is best to be able to produce rifles by himself, only by doing this can the army be invincible.

Although the Fengjun army was also known for its well-equipped equipment in history, it was only by cooperating with the Japanese to establish the Mukden Arsenal, and Zhang Tinglan was of course unwilling to rely too much on the Japanese, so using the name of Russia to obtain the production line became the most convenient way.

Fred also knows the risks of such a thing, but he also sees a huge opportunity to support a warlord with great potential, Liliang, and maybe the whole country can be harvested!

"Zhang, it's not easy to do this, but I'll do my best to arrange it. You're right, we should take a long-term view, I believe in your ability, and you will become a stock with great potential. ”

"Well, we don't have to start with an arms production line, we can get some textile machines, food processing machines, these light industries also need to be developed, and they can also paralyze the opponent."

The two continued to discuss some details, soon the first batch of wagons in Russia will arrive, Zhang Tinglan wants to establish a trading company as soon as possible, prepare sufficient goods, and when he was about to leave, Zhang Tinglan suddenly asked: "Before cooperating with me, you also sold arms, right?" ”

Fred nodded subconsciously: "That's right, in fact, it has been sold since the beginning of the war, a year before cooperating with you." ”

"I wonder who all those weapons were sold to?"
