The triangular business alliance that the Heixingen consortium intends to form is actually a reason to form an alliance with local supermarkets to fight against foreign competitors.

To be honest, the two may not really want to cooperate with the Heixingen consortium, especially the Jin merchants, the Heixingen Bank operates in North China, in fact, it is its coverage of the sphere of influence, but the Jin merchants' base camp is far away, and the influence on local officials in North China is also weak, and there is no local clan power like Zhuhai.

The willingness of the Heixinggen consortium to cooperate is definitely a good thing for Jin businessmen, and Qiao Zhiyong was the first to propose: "Cooperation is okay, but we must demarcate our respective areas in advance, and where to use as the boundary must be clear, and then everyone must not cross the line." ”

Anthony, General Manager of the Far East of Hexingen Bank: "Of course, there is no problem, but we must also emphasize that after the demarcation of their respective regions, in the future, the three parties in the north must give priority to purchasing the goods of our allies, such as grain, industrial products, etc., you should give priority to purchasing from us, and we will also give priority to the two of you when importing products from the north." ”

Hu Xueyan: "If there is a problem with the quality of your bank's goods?" ”

Anthony: "There is no problem with the products of our Heixingen Consortium, of course, there is no evidence, we can set a unified standard for this matter, and grade the goods according to quality, the price of good products is naturally higher, and the price of poor quality is lower, and we send professionals to each other and set up a unified agency to supervise." ”

Qiao Zhiyong and Hu Xueyan glanced at each other and nodded to each other.

Qiao Zhiyong: "Then this institution is the contact center of our three parties, where should the main hall be located?" ”

Anthony: "Jiaozhou, Xuzhou, Kaifeng three locations to choose one, which location is the specific location, mainly up to you to discuss, but it can only be these three cities,"

Qiao Zhiyong: "Then choose Kaifeng!" After all, all three of us are relatively close to here. ”

Hu Xueyan: "Kaifeng is okay, but my words are more inclined to Xuzhou." ”

Anthony: "Then Kaifeng, as the headquarters of tripartite cooperation and contact, it can be built next to the consulate of the Kingdom of East Africa in Kaifeng, which is also convenient for us to exchange and cooperate." ”

Hu Xueyan: "There is also the issue of border demarcation, your expansion in the Far East has been too rapid in recent years, which is very unfriendly to us. ”

Anthony: "Don't be impatient, Mr. Hu, we have obtained the market through normal trade with the permission of your country's authorities, after all, people will take the initiative to choose high-quality and low-cost goods. ”

Hu Xueyan: "However, if you have been expanding at the current rate, will you always have to cross the Huai River and go directly to the Yangtze River, then our Hui merchants will exist in name only, Your Excellency Anthony, do you say that this is cooperation!" ”

I look up to me so much! This is Anthony's idea, if East Africa is really so powerful, how can there be Britain, France and the United States.

Anthony: "Draw commercial boundaries according to your current area!" However, Mr. Hu Xueyan, I would like to remind you that your biggest enemy is probably the British, and we have not been stupid enough to go to the Yangtze River valley to compete with the British, although Germany has two world powers, but they have no influence in the Far East, and we Heixingen Bank must also be low-key in the Far East. ”

That's really a low-key person, the places selected in East Africa are not looked down upon by the British, such as the north, the business of Heixingen Bank is around the south of the Yimeng Mountains in a crescent moon deep into the Central Plains, and the south is even more so, only a small coastal area in Zhuhai, which has not entered the hinterland of the southern interior.

Hu Xueyan: "Thank you for the reminder, but whether your trip belongs to Prussia or Austria-Hungary, or the Kingdom of East Africa, which is rarely mentioned." ”

Few people mention it, but it is indeed very interesting, after all, the Kingdom of East Africa has only been established for a year, and not many people in Europe may know about it.

Anthony: "Hexingen Bank is a German national enterprise, and naturally it belongs to the entire German nation, not only the three countries you mentioned, so Hexingen Bank is not a company limited to a certain country. ”

Hu Xueyan: "Hehehe, Mr. Anthony, don't be surprised, I'm just curious about your bank." ”

Anthony: "It doesn't have to be that way, in fact our information is public, it's just a mediocre bank in Europe. ”

Qiao Zhiyong: "Mr. Anthony, I wonder if we can send someone to Europe to inspect your company's operating model?" ”

Qiao Zhiyong has long been interested in this so-called bank of Westerners, although it is similar to the money bank, but it is definitely two things.

Anthony: "Mr. Joe, if you are interested in the banking industry, there is no need to refer to the Heshingen Bank, because the Heshingen Bank is not pure as a bank, if you are interested, we can arrange for you to visit the Netherlands, which is the place with the strongest business atmosphere in Europe, and at the same time the purest place in the financial industry. ”

Qiao Zhiyong: "Oh! Netherlands. ”

Anthony: "Wasn't it unexpected?" In fact, many modern financial concepts were invented by the Dutch, one of the most economically developed regions in Europe. ”

Qiao Zhiyong: "To make you laugh, I myself stay more in the Central and Western Far East, and I don't know much about overseas countries, that is, I have heard of England and France, or because I ...... a few years ago"

Anthony: "Mr. Qiao, you don't have to be polite, if you really want to know about European countries, you can send people to learn, we Heixingen Bank are willing to support you and avoid some detours." ”

Qiao Zhiyong: "Thank you so much! ”

As early as when competing with Heixingen Bank, Qiao Zhiyong found that the operating model of Western banks is more competitive, such as the interest of this bank, and the people who go to save money get more benefits, so where is the profit point of the bank?

Hu Xueyan: "I don't know if we can also send people to Europe to study!" ”

Anthony: "Of course, there is no problem, but we only give you advice, and the choice is up to you." ”

Since the three are allies, it is necessary for these two traditional business gangs to keep up with the times, and it is also convenient to cooperate with the Heixingen Foundation.

Learning some rules of the West is also conducive to not being deceived by other countries' capital in the future, the Far Eastern government cannot count on it, and can only rely on them to be self-reliant, so that Anthony himself sympathizes with the two peers, and if the Hexingen Bank has something, it can turn to Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the tripartite government of the Kingdom of East Africa, which can generally solve the problem, but they have to beware of "their own people".
