Chapter 194 Flexible Payment (First update, please subscribe)
See what you said.

Four and a half million pesos... isn't it equal to giving away for nothing!

Why be humble?
After thinking for a moment, Zhu Xianhai said calmly.

"Well, it's not impossible to accept this price, but I hope to use a more flexible payment method."

"What? More flexible payment options?"

Count Bruno asked with a puzzled face.

"In what way?"

"It's like this. We made a batch of company's exclusive currency with Deville silver-I hope to use it to offset 150 million pesos."

What Deville silver is aluminum.

Now Nanhua can produce more than 450 pounds of aluminum every day. What kind of aluminum coins are simply nonsense. After one sentence, Zhu Xianhai does not plan to spend [-] million silver dollars at all!
At least not going to pay it all.

"Deville Silver..."

Count Bruno is no stranger to that kind of "silver". When he was in London, he bought a set of tableware with special money, and planned to take it back to show off to the old hats in St. Petersburg.

Few people in St. Petersburg have such tableware, Deville silver is a rare commodity!Hearing that the other party intends to pay 150 million pesos in Deville Silver, Count Bruno's eyes lit up and he said tentatively.

"Deville silver coins? You made coins out of Deville silver?"

"Yes, we made a batch of coins to show how the American Corporation is different."

Zhu Xianhai took out a coin and said.

"Mr. Earl, look at the coin made of Deville silver. It is lighter in weight, more durable than gold coins, and it is difficult to counterfeit, so I plan to use it as the currency in the company's territory."

"What if, I mean if, I can accept 250 million deville silver coins?"

Count Bruno laughed.

"Mr. Zhu, do you have that much Deville silver?"

250 million... ten thousand!

Yes, of course!

At this moment, Zhu Xianhai only felt that happiness came so suddenly. My good guy, he thought it would be good if he could get 100 million, but he never thought that the other party would ask for 250 million.

This is really ten thousand 250!
is this real?
But for Earl Bruno, what he saw was an opportunity to make a fortune!

250 million Deville silver, made of jewelry and tableware, will definitely make a lot of money. Russian nobles are not short of money!

In this way, under your wishes, not only did an agreement be reached quickly, the American Corporation bought Alaska for 450 million pesos (of which 250 million was paid in Deville silver).Not only that, even at the invitation of Count Bruno, the American company reached an agreement with Russia to exchange envoys. In other words, to a certain extent, the American company opened up diplomatic channels.

"It's a fresh start!"

That night, in the banquet hall of the Atlantic Hotel, Zhu Xianhai said with great enthusiasm.

"From today, the company's land stretches from North America to South America!"

From the North Pole to the South Pole, it will be the company's land. Looking at the people with different expressions, Zhu Xianhai certainly knows that many of them think this deal is not worth it. Decades from now, just now, just build a cannery there, and the annual profits will be enough to support the company's rule in Alaska.

Moreover, there are a large number of coal mines in Alaska, where hundreds of billions of tons of high-quality bituminous coal and anthracite are buried, which are not available in Nanhua.

As for oil and gold mines, that won't pay off handsomely either!

Alaska belongs to Nanhua!

That night, Zhu Xianhai was drunk, and when the banquet was over, he was slightly drunk, but when he was about to leave, he saw another person!

Zuo Zongtang.

When he learned that the Lord of South China held a celebration banquet at the hotel, Zuo Zongtang couldn't sit still.

Celebration banquet, what merits are celebrated?

buy land!

"To buy land from foreigners with more than three million taels of silver!"

After hearing the news, Zuo Zongtang was even more stunned and speechless for a while.In the past period of time, he has traveled all over Nanhua and seen those factories. Although he knows that Nanhua is very rich, it is still hard to imagine that a Nanhua with a population of less than [-] can actually earn money. Pay several million taels of silver to buy land.

What is even more surprising is that the piece of land I bought is even more remote than Kanto, and it is said that it is still a place of ice and snow.

This and that success, even if the family is rich, they can't afford such a prodigal family!
No, you have to persuade him!
So, after the banquet, Zuo Zongtang finally met the young and somewhat strange Lord of South China.

"My humble Zuo Zongtang, I have seen Mr. Zhu."

Just as Zuo Zongtang saluted, Zhu Xianhai, who was a little drunk, looked at the person in front of him.

Zuo Zongtang, who is nearly fifty years old, seems to be in good spirits. He never thought that this famous ZTE minister of "My Tartar Qing Dynasty" actually came to Nanhua. I almost forgot about this person these days. What is he doing?

"Mr. Zuo, you're welcome. I've been busy buying land these days, but I've left you in the cold. Please invite Mr. Zuo Haihan."

Among the ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, the one in front of him can make Zhu Xianhai admire him from the bottom of his heart. There is no other reason.Natural treatment is also different from others.

"Mr. Zhu is very polite. I have really gained a lot of knowledge by visiting various places in Nanhua these days. The development of Western artifacts is far beyond what I can imagine..."

The visits these days have indeed brought unprecedented impact to Zuo Zongtang. From factories to farms, from workers to soldiers, he has seen too many things he has never heard of or seen in Nanhua.The impact of suddenly jumping from a backward agricultural civilization into an industrial civilization is conceivable, and because of this, the last thought of "serving the court" in his heart has long since flown to nowhere .

"Well, that's true. By the way, Mr. Zuo, if you don't dislike him, feel wronged for a while, and stay by my side to give me advice."

what?
Zuo Zongtang was stunned, he hadn't said he was surrendering yet.

"Mr. Zhu, I, I have little knowledge, it is really..."

"Mr. Zuo is polite,"

Before Zuo Zongtang refused, Zhu Xianhai pushed open the window, pointed out the window and said.

"Mr. Zuo, look, although this is an overseas country, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields. The overseas land is so vast. It is the time when I, a Chinese man, made great achievements. Doesn't Mr. Zuo want to be with me in this world of great strife, for my Chinese nation? people to open up a place of survival overseas,"

Staring out of the window, looking at the little lights of Nanhua, staring into the distance, Zhu Xianhai was drunk at this moment, and Zuo Zongtang was also lost in thought...
