Hu Xueyan rubbed his temples painfully, "Hengliwen...what exactly do you want me to do? I'm afraid my ability to help you is really limited..."
"No, no, no, you can help me a lot, a lot..." Heng Liwen put down his knife and fork and took a sip of red wine. "The Beijing court made the right choice to form an alliance with us, because there is no one richer than us in the world." of people!"
"The world's wealth is concentrated in the City of London, and the wealth of the City is concentrated in the hands of our bankers... Let me tell you the truth! Only businessmen can start a war in this world, and even the king is just in our hands Just a chess piece!"
"I really don't know what you are thinking about, why you would rather cooperate with Xiao Letian than us, especially that old antique Zeng Guofan. We have obviously bribed many of his generals, but he insists on clinging to it. Why did he impose a strict order not to allow private capital to conduct transactions?"
Heng Liwen's expression became unusually ferocious, "Doesn't he know that the future world belongs to capital? Is he going to go against the general trend? What are the benefits of cooperating with Xiao Letian? Don't forget that he is a Han, and he has no regard for this It is impossible for a country to have no territorial claims!”
"Mr. Hu! I hope you won't resist the order and be disrespectful. I hope you will think carefully about your family and don't go in the wrong direction in life!"
"That's enough!" Hu Xueyan growled, "I don't need you to teach me the Three Character Classic, please tell me what you want!"
Seeing Hu Xueyan getting angry, Heng Liwen smiled. The huge pressure for a long time made him nervous. Now seeing Hu Xueyan's collapse, he suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
"Very good, very good! Now you answer my first question! How many Nannan tickets did Xiao Letian put in Jiangnan! Don't tell me 1.6 billion yuan, don't think we are fools, we have our statisticians, of course we Can do the math!"
Hu Xueyan's chest heaved violently. He really didn't want to sit with this bastard foreigner. He knew that Heng Liwen was the leader of the foreign bankers in the Nanping Bank crisis, and he was the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.
But thinking back to the uninvited guest who suddenly visited his home seven days ago, when the eunuch with a male duck voice conveyed to him the secret edict of Empress Dowager Cixi and the secret order of Prince Gong, Hu Xueyan knew that there was nothing he could do to save himself.
The family is the largest in the world. After all, the family has to make a living in the Qing Dynasty. For the sake of the lives of future generations, he cannot disobey the imperial edict.
It was precisely because of Beijing's secret order that he made an exception and went to Shanghai to meet with Hengli Wen.
Hu Xueyan sighed, "Actually, I don't know how many southern tickets Xiao Letian has put in, but the amount sent out from our Fukang Bank alone is already 2.5 billion yuan!"
"Nominally, Xiao Letian has contracted Jiangnan's banknote exchange business to me, but no matter how shameless I am, I dare not let Lotte Bank do its own exchange! I think Lotte Bank should also issue about 2.5 billion... The total issuance of Jiangnan Nanbao , about 5 billion yuan, this data should be reliable!"
Hu Xueyan waved his hands in pain, "If you have anything else to ask, let's ask together. If there's anything you want me to do, let's talk together! I won't recognize you after you walk out of this door..."
Hiss... Hengliwen took a breath of air, "5 billion? This is similar to our previous guess. This cunning fox actually claimed that it was only 1.6 billion. It's too insidious..."
Heng Liwen blinked and kept thinking in his mind, "The 5 billion yuan banknotes collapsed, and 3 billion yuan was said to have flowed into the hedging market. Xiao Letian secretly collected it. According to the exchange price during this period, Xiao Letian probably had about 20 million yuan. The silver dollar can eat up these 3 billion banknotes..."
"Damn it, if this guy wins, the 3 billion worth of waste paper bought with 20 million silver dollars will immediately turn into 3 billion dollars in cash! Will you earn 3 billion by investing 20 million dollars?"
Hengliwen blinked, and greed began to cloud his heart like a devil.
"Now let me ask you the second question..." Heng Liwen shook the wine glass and whispered, "Is there any way you can pry a hole out of the commander's ban? We need to purchase a large amount of land, shops, workshops..."
"Impossible!" Hu Xueyan shook his head, "Don't even think about challenging the commander's power. Jiangning has issued a strict order this time. The commander has already said that no one can play tricks with the three-month ban, otherwise the lifelong friendship will be ruined. It’s all gone!”
"I can't do it, I can't do this!"
"You have to do it even if you can't do it!" Heng Liwen said fiercely, "Don't forget the secret decree given to you, don't forget that this world belongs to the Beijing court, and don't forget the lives of your family..."
"I believe that your Chinese methods and thousands of years of bureaucratic culture have given you many ways to exploit loopholes. Don't do tricks with me. I am also a China expert! At worst, I will give you a 5% handling fee. You can handle it The more you earn, the more you earn!”
Hu Xueyan slapped himself on the forehead angrily, "What evil have I done! What evil have I done! Well...if you insist on doing it, I have only one way, and that is to secretly buy shares!"
There are clear shares and dark shares, as well as money stocks and dry shares. Generally speaking, many people want to avoid government audits and ensure the safety of their funds, so they like to invest in dark shares and dry shares.
For example, if a high-ranking official in the imperial court is afraid that the news about his wealth will be spread, but also wants to put money out to make more money, he will buy dark stocks and secretly receive the dividends.
Many big businessmen want to bribe officials. Giving away real gold, silver, antique calligraphy and paintings is too eye-catching. It is also a good way to use dark stocks and then distribute dividends every year. It also extends the friendship, as long as there is money every year. The friendship between officials and businessmen will not be broken if the dividends are taken.
Even the children of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because their ancestors prohibited them from doing business, but what should they do if the banner pay is not enough to eat? Then do business with many Han people as joint stock. Many hotels and wineries in Beijing are operating under this model. Almost all the big bannermen do not use shares to make money.
Hu Xueyan saw that Hengli Wen was still a little hesitant and snorted coldly, "Humph... This is the only way. Who dares to touch the handsome tiger? If you don't skip the government, do you still want to get the industry? Stop dreaming..."
"But without the endorsement of the government, do these share contracts have legal effect?" Heng Liwen asked doubtfully.
"Ah... why are you still giving China access to this? Don't you foreigners have cannons? Why do you need the government to do anything with a contract backed by cannons? You are so heartless!"
yes? Heng Liwen immediately realized, why am I so stupid? Why do I need the endorsement of the Manchu and Qing government? Who in this Manchu Qing Dynasty dares to reason with our foreign cannons?
Um? Wait, you, Hu Xueyan, dare to insult me? You are brave enough! You dare to call me short-minded, believe it or not, I will deal with you!
