Chapter Ninety-Eight: Koman's Trip to Shanghai
Koeman eventually chose to go to Shanghai to find someone willing to invest in airplanes, of course, before the trip he had the target of his lobbying - the famous Sassoon family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In fact, the commander of the 1st Volunteer Brigade, who did not want to reveal his status as a prince, showed him the money he personally intended to use to invest in the aircraft company - a full 300 kilograms of silver, when he arrived at their barracks for the second time.
None of these are a reminder that His Royal Highness the prince of the Great Song Empire does not lack funds to run an aircraft company, and he just needs to use this company that produces this cross-era means of transportation as a stepping stone to integrate into the mainstream society of this world.
The Sassoon family is undoubtedly an option to fulfill the wish of His Royal Highness the Prince, and there are many discerning businessmen in this family, who must be able to see the great potential of such a machine. Moreover, the Sassoons had a very good relationship with the British Parliament, and were able to lobby those houses in the upper and lower houses to get the British Empire to agree to the occupation of the Liaodong Peninsula by the Great Song Dynasty.
As a reporter for The Times, Koman was able to meet with the manager of New Sassoon's Shanghai office without any problems. The manager smiled as he listened to Koman's account of his adventures in the Liaodong Peninsula, and finally told him that he could not make any decisions about the investment, but that he would report the situation to the headquarters of the foreign bank, and asked Koman to leave a detailed address so that he could contact him if he had a reply.
Apparently, the manager took Coman for the cunning Jew who always wanted to get the better of his boss. If it weren't for Koman's Times reporter and Jewishness, he wouldn't have had the patience to listen to the bizarre story he made.
An island nation in the depths of the ocean that has not yet been discovered? A prince who charges at the front? A machine that can carry people freely through the air? This Jewish liar is outrageous, and while the business card of the Times reporter handed over to him is genuine, who can guarantee that it was not stolen?
As for the drawings he carried with him, they were nothing more than props for liars. Although the props are beautifully made, the story made up by this crook is outrageous, the manager of the office thought.
Koeman was not a young man with no experience in society, and he could already see the sparkle of banter in the eyes of the office manager. There will be no more follow-up to this matter, and the so-called contact with him again must be when the plane has been launched and sold well.
At this time, Koman had to admire the foresight of His Royal Highness the Prince, and he told Koman that if anyone questioned the authenticity of these things, he should use the personal money he gave Koman before leaving to buy the materials for assembling the aircraft first, and when the aircraft built by Lieutenant Hao Dajian appeared in front of those who were full of doubts, all the problems would be solved.
Purchasing materials is a must, and Koman's shopping list has a lot of daily necessities in addition to the materials used to make the aircraft. His Majesty the Prince said that it seemed that the fighting would continue until the New Year of the Chinese people. In addition to officers and soldiers, there were also civilians, most of whom were academics, artists, and technicians such as doctors. However, the Great Song Navy would not use the aircraft to air anything other than military supplies. This meant that these civilians would continue to eat military rations in the New Year, and apparently His Royal Highness did not want to let these civilians of his homeland who had crossed the sea suffer such grievances, and he decided to use his savings to let Koman help buy some New Year's goods.
Originally, Lady Lucifer was going to go with him to purchase these things, but the lady with the strange name did not make the trip because of other things. The civilians in the barracks were very enthusiastic about celebrating the New Year, especially Miss Fox, who made a surprising shopping list to buy guitars. But it is said that she is the lover of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they also have the crystallization of love, Miss Anne, well, the beautiful little girl who follows Miss Fawkes all day long. Oh, I don't want to forget my shopping list for Miss Anne. Oh God, according to His Royal Highness the Prince, Miss Fox's suitcase was lost due to a mistake by the Navy's Logistics Department, and Miss Anne had to wear clothes made from soldiers' warm clothes this winter. The teddy bear she holds every day is also sewn for her by the soldiers out of furry sheepskin, which is simply an abuse of the royal family.
It was the first time that Koeman had procured supplies for a member of the royal family, and he was very worried about whether he would be up to the task, even more so than if he would be able to get investment for the aircraft company. In his heart, this kind of cross-era technology product is not worried about finding investors, and when the plane goes public, it is when the short-sighted manager was fired by his boss just now. It is not a big deal not to be able to cooperate with the Sassoon family, and His Excellency Lu Xiangyang is very dissatisfied with this family that made a fortune in the opium business, and has always said that their money is piled up with the bones of Chinese people. Who to do business with is not to make money, there is no need to pull a family that is hated by the officials of the Great Song Dynasty into the house.
Walking out of Sassoon's office, Koeman already had a second goal in mind. Well, I can only send a telegram to my friend in London, and when the vampire family receives the news, His Royal Highness's plan will be able to go smoothly.
According to His Royal Highness the Prince's words: In order to reproduce a Jewish state in Jerusalem, Da Song did not mind helping. This family would be willing to engage in dialogue with the Great Song, a vampire family that has always adhered to Jewish traditions and valued the interests of Jews as more important than doing business and making money. The family has always been a supporter of the Zion Movement, and they are certainly willing to engage with a Jewish-friendly country, not to mention the abundance of advanced weapons.
Coman's second target was the Rothschilds, who had five broken arrows as their family crest. This family, whose main business is the banking industry, is also an existence that can influence the decision-making of the British House of Commons. In addition to the banking industry, their business spreads across all the industries that make money. In their eyes, of course, they will not refuse such a cross-era product as an airplane.
Koeman did not consider them the first choice for cooperation because they did not have agents in the Far East, and it is more accurate that Koeman did not know who their agents were in the East. He had to send a telegram to his friends in London, asking him to convey Da Song's willingness to cooperate on his behalf. During this period, there were many links, and the news was easy to leak out, which is why he did not make the Rothschilds his first target for this trip.
But the short-sighted manager of Sassoon had turned him away, and Koman had no choice but to get in touch with the Rothschilds.
After sending the telegram, Koman threw himself into the intense procurement activities, not at all worried that the other party would ignore the information he provided. He is very confident in this. The friend who relayed the news on his behalf was a fanatical Zionist, and it was for this reason that Koeman's friend became connected to the family. His friends will definitely do their best to get his patron the news.
And he is even less worried about the reaction of the Rothschilds. As long as those die-hard old Jewish men still hold the family, with His Royal Highness's clear sympathy for Zionism, someone will soon come into contact with him.
Now Nathan Neil, the son of Lionel of the Rothschilds, has become the first Jewish nobleman and member of the House of Lords in Britain, and Lionel has a famous saying: I have two honors: first, I am a member of the Rothschilds; Second, I am a Jew. The father-son pair took the oath of the Hebrew Bible when they became members of the British Parliament with Christianity as the state religion, and the hard-line stance of the father and son can be seen. Baron Edmond of France, on the other hand, has been pouring large sums of money at Jewish immigrants to Palestine. The hardliners were still alive, and Corman thought he might as well put more effort into selecting the items on the shopping list for Miss Fawkes and Miss Anne.
