Chapter 240 Japanese Maid (First update, please subscribe)
The accident in Vienna was just a small episode in 1866, which is not worth mentioning. Even Zhu Xianhai himself only responded lightly.

understood.

That's all, there will be no record of this.

It was just an accident.

In January 1866, as in previous years, after Laba, every household in Nanhua was busy preparing for the arrival of the Spring Festival, cleaning houses and dust, preparing new year goods, celebrating the hard work of this year, and looking forward to the hope for the coming year.Chinese New Year is a traditional custom of the Chinese nation.The same is true even on the other side of the ocean.

The bustling pedestrians on the street are buying all kinds of new year's goods, and they seem to be very lively. But in addition to the excitement, many people always look a little melancholy. They miss their relatives every festive season. For those who live in Tangshan, maybe the war in Tangshan is not over yet, but missing their families is unavoidable. So, at this time, the most lively thing is the post office—two years ago, Nanhua Post finally opened to Shanghai, Mail services in Hong Kong and Tianjin.Not only can you send letters, but you can even send money through banks.As early as a few years ago, the Shanghai branch established HSBC Bank, which means "remittance abundance".

Now HSBC not only has branches in Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou and other places, but also has branches in Nanhua.As usual, Zhu Zhenwu came to HSBC Bank again. He had saved money for a year, and when he was queuing at the counter, he kept flipping through his passbook.

"467.53 yuan!"

This is the wages and interest he has saved for the entire two years!

For the past two years, he has been saving money silently, not even daring to spend a single penny, just for today.

When it was finally his turn, standing in front of the counter, Zhu Zhenwu said.

"Thank you, send 400 yuan to Nanyang Mansion, Henan Province..."

While speaking, Zhu Zhenwu handed over a completed remittance slip. Not only was the address written on the remittance slip, but text messages could also be written on the back.

This is the "silver letter" of the remittance. After it is sent to Tangshan together with the mail, it will be delivered to the recipient through the letter bureau. They can use the remittance slip to receive the remittance at the designated bank in Fucheng. Of course, the handling fee is not low.This method of remittance is actually similar to that of overseas Chinese in Nanyang, except that the "bank trust" of overseas Chinese in Nanyang is through private banks, while in Nanhua it is through bank remittances.

"The transfer fee is 40 yuan."

The remittance fee of 40 yuan is nearly three months’ wages, which is definitely a lot, but in Zhu Zhenwu’s view, it’s all worth it. After all, after receiving the money he remitted, parents can not only live a good life , can also buy some fields, and talk about marriage with the second and third children.

It's all worth it.

"If no one claims it for three months, it will be returned automatically..."

Like anyone who remits money, Zhu Zhenwu is also worried that the remittance will be returned. After all, the country is currently in turmoil, and everyone knows what it means to return.

While Zhu Zhenwu was busy remitting money, in the bank manager's office on the second floor, looking at the young man in front of him, Li Zeli asked.

"You have neither mortgage nor guarantee, so why should I lend you a loan?"

Faced with doubts, Liang Yi got up and walked to the window, pointing to the hall on the first floor.

"Manager Li, look at the people in the lobby. What are they doing? They are all remittances. They are all to remit money to their families in Tangshan. These laborers recruited from Tangshan have no heart at all. Why not?"

Of course, Li Zeli, who is a bank manager, is very clear about this. Every year at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, millions of huge sums of money will be remitted to Tangshan, and this time is also the busiest time for the bank.

Looking back at the bank manager, Liang Yi said.

"It's because they are all lonely. They came here to earn money. When they earn enough money, they will probably leave Nanhua. Manager Li, it will happen sooner or later. There is no need to doubt it. I want them to settle down in Nanhua. , there must be a woman, they will settle down here if they have a woman, and they will settle down and take root here if they have a woman!"

"Ten thousand yuan!"

Looking at Liang Yi's proposal, Li Zeli asked.

"Without any guarantee, I gave you a loan, how can I guarantee that you won't escape from Nanhua with the loan?"

"profit!"

Liang Yi's answer was straightforward.

"Manager Li, according to Kato and the others, it only costs 5 silver dollars to buy a woman in Japan, and the shipping fee to Nanhua is only 10 yuan. After the railway is repaired, the shipping fee will be reduced to 8 yuan. Calculated, the cost is 13 yuan. money, but it can be sold for at least 100 yuan in Nanhua! There is such a huge profit. How can I be willing to throw it away.”

"It does make some sense, but Mr. Liang, you should know that human trafficking is illegal."

"This is not a business, it's a contract. Well, a contract maid, a maid, washes the dishes, washes, cooks, and sleeps with you. The law does not prohibit this. Of course, the maid has feelings for the master, and the marriage registration It's normal too."

In a simple sentence, Liang Yi turned the law into a "joke", but this is a joke that everyone is happy to see.

"What you said seems to make sense."

After thinking about it, Li Zeli said.

"If you can convince the immigration agency, I can give you a loan. After all, all the immigration ships in Nanhua are official now. If you want to transport those "contracted maids" here, you must pass their hurdle."

As soon as Liang Yi stepped out of the bank, Jiro Gato hurried over and asked.

"How is it, Mr. Liang? Did they agree to the loan?"

In fact, it was Kato Jiro who first discovered the business opportunity of "contract maid". The women were sold to the city and lived in brothels.

After seeing this business opportunity, Kato Jiro thought about how to do this business. Doing this business requires a lot of money. Where does the money come from?Because he hadn't accumulated enough "naturalization points", he was not eligible for a loan in Nanhua, so he found Liang Yi as a partner.

The two hit it off immediately, and no one would refuse a money-making deal!

"Immigration Administration, Manager Li said that as long as the Immigration Administration agrees, the bank will issue a loan. Let's go, let's go to the Immigration Administration now!"

When he heard that he still had to deal with the government, Kato felt a little unconfident.

"He, will they agree to us? After all, this is a bit illegal!"

"Don't worry, as long as it is good for Nan Hui, they will definitely not refuse!"
