Seeing that the topic was at an impasse and the atmosphere gradually became solemn, Li Fushou broke the silence with two dry coughs and said;

"The problem of capital is indeed the key to the production of Songjiang wool industry base, nothing can be done without money, but the tightening of the bank is also a fact, the military situation ahead is urgent, and a large number of military expenses have been prepared to support the current war in the near future. Borneo is in full swing for reorganization and training, the transportation of military supplies by boat, and the dispatch of tens of thousands of militia to Borneo, all of which require financial support. ”

Mr. Kestner's eyes were moist in these thoughtful words, and he really ...... Who can know the trouble in his heart?

For most of the year

Kestner was most afraid of being summoned by the Earl, and it was very difficult and awkward to sit in this position, and it was very difficult to sit in such a position that he could easily open his mouth with millions of pounds, and to spend money like flowing water without restraint.

According to the calculation of 60,000 to 70,000 free immigrants per month, from the ferry ticket to entering Australia and being able to integrate into society, the per capita loan is about 20~25 pounds, which alone is not less than the average monthly loan scale of 1.5 million pounds, and the annual loan plate reaches about 18 million pounds.

Coupled with the need for loan support in all aspects of social life, and Kestner himself could not afford to make money, the over-issuance of Huitong Bank's golden bills has exceeded the 50% mark, becoming the most important means of supporting the current financial predicament.

This is self-destruction!

Kestner's manager, who has been engaged in the financial industry for decades, clearly knows that the issuance of banknotes in the world today is based on the gold standard, and ordinary people can exchange the same amount of gold at any time with Huitong gold bills (subject to a handling fee).

As a bank director, this terrible end was unacceptable to Kestner Manager in any case, and his entire net worth was pressed on Huitong Bank, which became penniless and ruined his career once it went bankrupt and liquidated.

Okay, okay, I'm just an insignificant minority shareholder, and the Earl, who controls the vast majority of the bank's shares, can afford to gamble, so don't worry about it for a small person like me.

After a brief moment, Mr. Kestner said in a dry tone; "Your Excellency, as you know, the serious shortage of funds has affected the next monthly free immigration loan, but we can temporarily solve this problem by misappropriating dividends, and we can squeeze out a little from it to support the construction of the Songjiang base, but the premise is that there can be no large military expenditures in September and October, then it is really over, and the free immigration work must be stopped, because Huitong Bank is really out of money."

"Hey...... In the short term, there will be no large-scale war in Borneo, or is it urgently needed by the Songjiang base in front of you, so ...... How much can Huitong Bank squeeze out? Li Fushou asked.

He didn't answer directly, who knows when there will be a large-scale battle in Borneo?

Anyway, the Dutch were also in full swing of preparations, and the war clouds were thick over Borneo, and the two sides were in a tense confrontation, and the preparations for war did not stop for a moment.

If you really want to fight, no one can coax it.

"Alas...... The maximum amount of this money is not more than 200,000 pounds, which is already the maximum capacity of Huitong Bank. Mr. Kestner replied as uncomfortably as constipation.

"That's ......" Li Fushou touched his chin with some embarrassment, thought about it and said; Songjiang base also needs raw materials to operate, the total funding gap is still 40~500,000 pounds, there is indeed some money in the inner library, this is to cope with the need to prepare, I asked them to allocate another 150,000 pounds, plus the previous allocation of 250,000 pounds, then a total of 400,000 pounds, the remaining funding gap can be solved by multi-party fundraising, you Red River Valley Industrial Corporation also want to find a way, now those guys in the army have a lot of money in their pockets, you can mobilize them to invest in dividends to solve a large part, The remaining raw material payment is temporarily in arrears, and the woolen factory should be able to turn over this money, and he will be able to repay it after a few months of arrears. ”

"Thank you Lord Earl for your care, and thank you Mr. Kestner for your great help, so that our Red River Valley Industrial Corporation has the confidence to solve the biggest problem and ensure the smooth operation of the Songjiang base." Hu Chaoshan stood up overjoyed and clenched his fists.

Mr. Kestra rolled his eyes and said with some misfits; "Now Huitong Bank really has no money, please let us go, please don't open your mouth where you need money, if there is anything to slow down in the next year, please be conscious."

As he said this, Kestner stared fiercely at the chief of staff, Konrad Adenauer, and this was meant for this militaristic German military leader.

If you ask who Kestner hates the most, Chief of Staff Konrad Adenauer is undoubtedly number one.

The loans borrowed by other projects are all borrowed and interested, but the military expenditure is a meat bun beating a dog~ There is no return, Mr. Kestner has to like it to see the hell!

It was this frenzied martial artist who was vigorous and honored to ignite the flames of war everywhere, casting a heavy haze of war over the originally flowery economic development situation, and the financial losses and excesses, the culprits were these military leaders who feared that the world would not be chaotic.

Kestner did not have the courage to blame the noble Earl, and all his resentment was vented on the military.

You must know that huge military spending does not bring any economic benefits, and if you spend it, you really have nothing.

Nowadays, urban construction and industrial and commercial development need to be supported by loans everywhere, and these projects with stable income cannot get money, and the large amount of money accumulated has turned into a huge military expenditure and burned it, which makes Mr. Kestner's heart ache like a knife, how can he endure it?

The chief of staff, Conrad Adenauer, was now proud, and he had a large number of soldiers, and he didn't care about Mr. Kestner's eyes, and he said with a smile;

"The soldiers in front of the front shed blood and sweat to expand the territory, and served the Earl loyally, so that I have now the good situation of the Red River Valley and the South Pacific region, and the future prospects are bright, you miser knows what a long-term strategy is, and you are reluctant to take it out all day long holding on to that little money, and you are really a little family ...... be on the table."

"Fart, you vulgar martial artist who sells war with your mouth open and closed, you are also worthy of preaching in front of me, I have conscientiously guarded the family business for Lord Earl, escorted the comprehensive economic development of the Red River Valley, the current thriving, rapid economic momentum will never be interrupted, there is no money you drink the northwest wind, how can you understand the importance of economic development, there is so much land in the world, you can still occupy it? A bunch of frenzied warriors who sell war all day long with your so-called strategy to incite the Earl, you bastards deserve hell......"

Mr. Kestner's fierce retort looked very agitated.

If you don't explode in silence, you die in silence.

Li Fushou watched the two people quarrel with Mai Mang, and helplessly turned his head to look at the scenery outside that was rapidly retreating, and did not take the initiative to mix in it, sometimes the quarrel was not bad.

Military spending was indeed a headache, and it was a bad thing for Kestner to put a curse on the heads of these troops, reminding them that the landlords had no surplus food.

Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer, who is not an old man of fuel-efficient lamps, has recently been vigorously reorganizing the Leopard Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry, hoping to reorganize these two framework divisions into a fully equipped division, on the grounds that he has food in his hand and does not panic, which will be used to deter the southern states.

God knows, Li Fushou has no money in his hands now.

In 1981, nearly 4 million pounds of net income was intercepted, plus more than 1 million to more than 2 million in previous years, and the accumulated profits over the years totaled about 9 million pounds, which were mainly used in two major investments.

The first is to set up a strategic reserve in the lofty mountains of Songjiang Town, stockpiling a series of materials ranging from guns and ammunition to camp tents, bristle tung oil, saddle harness, etc., in order to prepare for the outbreak of internal war with the southern states and prevent them from being caught off guard.

Queensland has no real national reserves, and the state treasury cannot afford to spend it, so the Earl of Queensland, who is so rich, can only raise it himself, and cannot rely on others.

This part of the expenditure cost about 2.6 million pounds, and gradually built up a reserve warehouse covering weapons and ammunition, logistics baggage, and all kinds of military supplies, which can supply an army of 60,000 people for one year.

Second, the so-called people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries.

The remaining about 60000000000 pounds as a secret investment, through a variety of companies as a cover, for the extensive acquisition of property assets in the core of Manhattan, New York, the British West End of the prime location of shops, etc., as a way back in case of defeat from Australia, for one day to make a comeback.

When the current situation eases a little, this secret investment will continue to increase, which is a secret expenditure that Chen Shiheng, the head of the inner treasury, does not know, and the level of secrecy is extremely high.

Li Fushou quickly retreated as he admired the vast scenery of the mountains and rivers outside the window, feeling the pleasure from body to heart, and the fierce arguments between the military and financial dignitaries under his command did not affect his emotions.

For those in power, checks and balances are king.

Today's era is the last opportunity to carve up the world map, missed will never be again, Li Fushou is determined to build a beautiful home for overseas Chinese based in Australia, of course, will not miss this opportunity.

Whether it is spending huge military spending, or reckless military force, anyway, no matter what it is said that the expansion must be carried out, Mr. Kestner has the wrong target, in fact, Li Fushou is the biggest black hand who secretly promotes the expansion.

It's just that now the foundation is thin, the body is weak, and the appetite is small, and it can eat a little bit is a little.

Anyway, he is eyeing the weakest Dutch, and even if a final peace agreement is reached, how many years will it last, and there will be a big question mark?

When the power becomes stronger, is it really difficult to tear up a peace agreement?

A similar situation can be referred to the Russo-Turkish War, which has broken out 10 Russo-Turkish wars in the past 100 years, and the greedy Tsarist Empire caught the Ottoman Empire, a fat sheep, desperately scavenging wool, vowing to cut it bald.

Since ancient times, the East Indies region has been an area where Chinese ancestors lived and multiplied, and created a splendid cultural and historical heritage here, which has no questionable historical basis, and there is no element of bragging.

Why did the Dutch colonists shamelessly occupy this beautiful and rich land?
