"Head of State! We know that when you return to the country, you have to deal with all kinds of government affairs every day. We shouldn't bother you first... But it's really impossible not to ask you for emergency help. If you don't save us, something big will happen. Got it!"
Xiao Letian's expression also became serious. He pointed to the sofa in front of him and asked the two of them to sit down. "If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll give you twenty minutes..."
What else can be said, when Mi Fu and Niu Jinfu came to see Xiao Letian, in addition to celebrating, the only thing left was to ask for help, to beg Xiao Letian to release water urgently and save the Chinese capitalists!
The rise of the Chinese cannot be separated from the power of business and capital. In the final analysis, it is all the power of money!
Xiao Letian's layout is actually very tough and iron-blooded! Use the ideas of Western science and the banner of nationalism to liberate the minds of all Chinese people, and first of all, ideologically, fish out a large number of Chinese people from the stinking muddy pond of the Qing Dynasty!
After we have a group of supporters of ideological liberation, we will immediately strengthen our military and prepare for war. Not to mention immediately liberating the whole country, we must also be able to protect ourselves!
If you have an army, you have to raise an army. A large number of new-style Chinese businessmen who have been brainwashed by Xiao Letian flocked to the head of state and began to become the pioneers of capital for the development of the Chinese nation!
Thoughts, army, capital...and the powerful machine launched by the connection of all these is the Chinese industrialization!
Just think about it, this plan costs money. Every link requires money. The army needs money to be strong, and it also needs financial support to launch a war.
After the war, the army actually opened up the market for Chinese capital, allowing Chinese businessmen to make more money.
This is a heavily armored cruiser that has been activated. It constantly fights and expands, then plunders resources and builds itself... The battleship becomes larger and larger, until it can finally completely blow up the old world, thus achieving the expansion of Chinese thinking. Revive an entire nation.
Fan Jian wants it, Mi Fu, Niu Jinfu, this group of Chinese capital upstarts actually all got their start by relying on Xiao Letian's grand strategy!
Take Niu Jinfu's Sihai Trading Company as an example. This is the most ordinary grocery store owner in Tanggu, a middle-class businessman whose wealth is only four to five hundred thousand taels of silver.
Through the promotion of Xiao Letian, the real dragon, and relying on the hard work of the central government, the total assets now exceed 30 million silver dollars, which was an astronomical figure in the 19th century, an era without inflation.
Mi Fu's net worth is slightly lower than that of Niu Jinfu, but he still has a total assets of 25 million.
These are already at the level of giant businessmen. They are not only rich but also powerful. Many of the industries they are engaged in are in a semi-monopoly.
If the heavy cruiser of the Chinese family does not sink, after two or three generations of such a capital family, the net worth will start at one billion or even billions.
Who dares to believe that such capitalists cry about poverty? Xiao Letian didn't believe it either, but when Xiao Letian heard the real situation of the Chinese capital market, the head of state couldn't help but take a breath.
"Head of the State... let me tell you clearly, if you don't let go, we Chinese businessmen will all die! The entire Chinese family's finances have been drained by you!"
"The Chinese really don't have the money to fight for you anymore. Your gamble has reached its highest risk moment!"
Niu Jinfu of the Sihai Group wiped away tears and said, "War means burning money. Don't you know how much money you are burning? You are fighting an old man and participating in the Franco-Prussian War. Building a navy is a bottomless pit..."
"The total scale of bonds issued on the market has reached 700 million silver dollars. We don't know the number of free private donations. I'm afraid there are 50 to 60 million yuan..."
"Do you think this amount of money is enough to fight the war? Don't be ridiculous, Head of State, do you know how much money you owe now..."
Niu Jinfu took out a stack of orders from the Chinese Military Department and the Ministry of Industry. "Look at the two most prominent ones. These are the two most recent government purchase orders. The details include rice, tung oil, palm rope, pig bristles... …More than twenty items in total!”
"This is a breakdown from the Ministry of Military Affairs, with a total value of 1.2 million silver dollars. This is a breakdown from the Ministry of Industry, with a total value of 800,000 silver dollars... This contract is given to me, which means that these materials will be purchased from me!"
"I thank you, I thank you guys for your compliments and for giving me the opportunity to make money...but do you know, head of state? When you sent me this order, how much do you think you only gave me as a deposit?"
"For a two-million-dollar purchase project, I was given a deposit of thirty thousand silver dollars! What is 1.5% enough for?"
"Moreover, both the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Ministry of War have made it clear that the final payment can only be given when the head of state comes back... because the treasury does not have a penny, the Ministry of War has no cash, and the Ministry of Industry has no cash..."
"I have to advance my own money to purchase these supplies... But where can I find the money to advance? I started helping the military raise supplies three years ago..."
"So far, our Chinese government owes me a total of 12 million yuan in payment for goods but has not paid it...and I, Niu Jinfu, don't have that much money to advance! I can only owe other businessmen!"
"It's all triangular debt. I now owe more than 10 million yuan to downstream merchants!"
Mi Fu also felt sad, "It's easy for you to say that your order contains a lot of industrial products... The merchants that can produce industrial products are basically Chinese-loving. They know your difficulties, so they are willing to work with you. !”
"I'm a grain merchant! I'm the largest grain merchant in the Chinese ethnic group. Right now, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War owe more than 10.5 million yuan in grain payment alone..."
"I can only owe those small grain merchants in Nanyang, and even the natives of Nanyang... They are closely related to the common people. Without payment, the common people will rebel!"
"I can only dismantle it, go to the market to dismantle high-interest funds, fill the hole myself, and try my best not to sign the money of Nanyang farmers..."
"The interest I paid out in just over a year was more than five million silver dollars... The key is that for political reasons, I am not allowed to raise prices in the Qing Dynasty!"
"Tell the truth to the head of state... I, Mi Fu, have gone bankrupt. I am insolvent!"
"I am the number one grain merchant in East Asia, with a family fortune of tens of millions, but how much cash flow do I have? Not even 2.5 million... I'm already living at 250!"
Xiao Letian was dumbfounded. Xiang Ying, Wang Ju, and Sima Yun were also dumbfounded. No one thought that the base camp was on the verge of bankruptcy at this moment.
"Money shortage! Money shortage! My head of state, please open the floodgates. The market is already full of triangular debt, and the funds that can be dismantled have dried up!"
"The credit of banknotes is now completely supported by the news of your army's victory... Even so, there have been several signs of collapse. The old shopkeeper is already vomiting blood in order to stabilize the market!"
At this point, everyone understood what was going on. It turned out that the endless military expansion and wars of the Chinese people had drained the cash flow from the market, and a serious money shortage occurred among the entire people.
Merchants can only rely on borrowing from each other to keep their businesses running. Such a chain is very dangerous!
There are countless Chinese businessmen like Mi Fu and Niu Jinfu who have staked their fortunes and lives on the Chinese chariot. The scale of the current triangular debt is so terrifying that no one can calculate it carefully.
However, considering that Mi Fu and Niu Jinfu have more than 20 million yuan in triangular debt, the scale of the entire Chinese business circle's triangular debt should reach a scale of 18 to 2 billion silver dollars.
The Chinese have been very business-oriented from the beginning to the end, and there are a lot of businessmen in the Chinese circle.
Xiao Letian fell silent for a long time before he said, "Are you focusing on this war reparations? The two million you just donated is considered an act? Or is it forced to acquiesce?"
