Chapter 150: No Cash, Only Factory Silk

The foreigner named Paul thought for a moment, and suddenly clapped his hands: "That's true.

If you buy Yisheng Bank, you will naturally obtain this right, even if you ask the strictest judge to judge the case, it must be said that this is the fairest approach. ”

"I don't read much, so don't fool me to settle your debts. Zhao Dagui said suspiciously.

Next, everyone asked people from various foreign companies to ask, including the guarantors who participated in the oath at the beginning, such as Madison and Consul Bafur of Jardine, etc., even Gong Mujiu also came to make an appearance.

As a result of the discussion, everyone really felt that this did not violate any law and morality, and even the priest of the church could not find any fault, and said that it was a noble act to help the industry peers.

In this case, Zhao Dagui's tone loosened a lot, and he became more and more hesitant: "That's feasible, but you can't let me pay too much money." ”

After some discussion, the creditors discussed with Zhao Dagui again, bargained, and finally decided to give Zhao Dagui the entire property of Yisheng Bank at a price of 1.5 million yuan, including all the property that originally belonged to Yisheng Bank and Lin Aqin, such as real estate, land, shops, foreign cloth, foreign goods and other inventory.

"Now that I have taken down the whole plate of Yisheng Bank, the original shopkeepers will all work in our Dagui firm. Zhao Dagui was relieved.

The creditors have no meaning to this, these shopkeepers are useless for them to keep, and they have to take care of the food, and after the collapse of the Yisheng Bank, these people will have to find their own work, and it has nothing to do with them, the creditors, and it is just a burden.

The creditors don't care, the big bosses of Qichang and Yihe frowned unconsciously, although they knew that this was the end, but at this time, they still felt very unhappy.

Zhao Dagui is equivalent to obtaining all the business channels of Yisheng Bank, even if most of the original business channels of Yisheng Bank are lost after this change, it can still bring considerable business opportunities and contacts to Dagui Commercial Bank.

After that, in the whole of Shanghai, which firm can compete with Dagui Bank.

Everyone reached an agreement on the price, and they were about to sign a contract and deliver the money and goods, but Zhao Dagui regretted it a little.

"This 1.5 million cash is too much, and Dagui Commercial Bank really can't produce so much, but it can produce factory silk worth 1.5 million. ”

It turned out that after the silk reeling factory was burned down in October, Dagui Commercial Bank has been actively rebuilding, because it had done it once before, and soon re-established the silk reeling factory, which solved many technical problems by the way, and also took the opportunity to expand the scale of production.

In September and October, when the silkworms were still in autumn, because there was no competition from foreign companies, Dagui Commercial Bank purchased a large number of silk and silkworm cocoons at low prices in Huzhou and Hangzhou, and processed them in the factory to produce a large number of high-quality factory silk.

Zhao Dagui is willing to use these factory silk to offset the payment of Yisheng Xing, and the price of factory silk is not cheap, reaching a high price of 650 yuan per package, and more than 2,000 bags can buy 1.5 million yuan required by Yisheng Xing.

"What kind of raw silk is worth so much money? Huzhou silk is only 1670 yuan per bag, can you make this silk out of gold?" The businessmen present did not all understand the raw silk business, and felt that the price of this raw silk was too high, and some people said unhappily on the spot.

"Hehe, if you want me to say that this raw silk is better than gold. Zhao Dagui was not angry, and explained softly: "I will give you cash, that is, a hammer of business, how much you take."

But if you give you these raw silk and take it to the UK, you can get at least three or four percent of the profit, and you can make up for the previous losses, so why not?"

Those who were ignorant still wanted to accuse, but they were stopped by their anxious companions, who covered their mouths and asked them to look at those foreigners carefully.

It turned out that those foreign creditors were not angry when they heard that Zhao Dagui was willing to pay for the goods with raw silk, but had a carefully weighed expression.

"Zhao comprador, your factory silk is a good product, but six hundred and fifty yuan a pack is too high. A foreign businessman said hesitantly.

"How can it be, the people who used to take factory silk to England made a lot of money, you should know this better than me. Zhao Dagui said disappreciably.

After some further bargaining, the foreign merchants reluctantly agreed to set the price of factory silk at 600 yuan per bag.

Those who don't understand the benefits of factory silk feel very strange, but since the foreign merchants are willing to accept this batch of goods, they can resell them to foreign merchants at this price at the worst of their own money, and they will not suffer any losses, so there is no need to offend people here.

In the end, Zhao Dagui used 2,500 bags of factory silk to buy all the property of Yishengxing, including the private property that Lin Aqin had purchased in the past two years.

Of these two thousand five hundred packages of factory silk, Zhao Dagui's acquisition cost was about 180 yuan per package, with a total price of 450,000 yuan, and the processing fee was less than 500,000 yuan.

As for these foreign fabrics, they look unsalable now, but they are only a temporary problem.

The Chinese people are still very fond of foreign cloth, but now it is only because there are too many foreign cloths that have poured in, and each family has a lot of reserves, that the foreign cloth cannot be sold for a while.

Zhao Dagui knew that in less than a year, the sales of foreign cloth would gradually recover, and the merchants in Shanghai would continue to order foreign cloth from British textile mills, but not as much as before.

According to historical records, from the second half of 1846, the foreign cloth crisis was basically over, and by the end of the year, the price of foreign cloth would return to its original high price.

After the Dagui Commercial Bank annexed Yisheng Bank, its strength increased dramatically, and the price of selling this more than one million horses of foreign cloth for 3 million yuan may not be enough, and then it will be a big fortune.

The matter of Yishengxing came to an end, and Zhao Dagui got everything he wanted, and he was naturally full of joy.

The shopkeepers of Yisheng Bank were panicked during this time, and most of them were relieved to know that Yisheng Bank was swallowed up by Dagui Commercial Bank, and they and others became employees of Dagui Commercial Bank.

As long as you can eat, which business house can't go, the general staff are celebrating with their crowns, and some of the shopkeepers who are in high positions are a little complicated.

Fortunately, Zhao Dagui did not look arrogant, and met with the important staff of Yisheng Bank one by one, and persuaded him warmly, claiming that since he arrived at Dagui Commercial Bank, he would be treated as an employee of Dagui Commercial Bank, and would never be treated differently, and finally captured the hearts of these people.

Speaking of which, Dagui Commercial Bank has always treated its employees very well, and there are many business allowances in addition to the basic salary, and it is also kind to employees, and there is no deduction.

Although Lin Aqin is also generous to the employees, he does not take off the breath of the grass platform, and the people who are pleasing to the eye give more benefits, and those who are not pleasing to the eye are average, lacking the taste of transparent management.

Moreover, Dagui Commercial Bank is now a leader in the business community of Shanghai Tang, and this time it has helped to support the crisis and has built an excellent reputation, so the business will inevitably prosper in the future, so there is no need to hold on to the old brand of Yisheng Bank.
