Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 327 Compensation

Because in July, the Borneo region enters the middle of the dry season and the temperature will drop to 25 to 22 degrees.

The weather in Borneo is so magical. When it is snowing in other places, it is the hottest rainy season here.

When others are experiencing unbearable heat in July and August, it is the coolest time of the year, roughly equal to winter! ?

For the sake of the more than 200,000 people captured by their own country, the Dutch negotiation delegation arrived more than ten days ago and has already gone through several rounds of negotiations!
Many people like to praise the Dutch, saying that they are the most Buddhist country in the world, very elegant and romantic.

Windmills, fairy-tale towns, relaxed rural life, and a variety of high welfare benefits.

but!

Everyone has forgotten why they can be so leisurely and why they can have this kind of life.

Where do all these supports, this leisurely life, and money come from! ?

That was the wealth gained by the Dutch through more than a thousand years of plundering and erecting ships and powerful guns, and more than a hundred years of dominance of the ocean by the East India Company, from the blood and corpses of countless colonies.

Don't ever think that others are kind, otherwise, after several years since the end of World War II, they would still want to control and colonize the Borneo region! ?
Those detained here in Borneo are all wealthy and powerful high-level talents, and they are all nobles who come to invest.

The country is in turmoil now, so of course they are very anxious.

During the negotiation process, the Dutch banks and mining assets here have been confiscated by the Republic of Borneo, with a value of at least 100 to 200 million US dollars.

And those shipping companies and chambers of commerce are also worth a lot of money, and they hope to use them as collateral for part of it.

According to Zhang Kaiwu's instructions, all these things were rejected by Yin Ling and the others without hesitation. Since you are invaders, the confiscated assets are of course our spoils of war, how can they be yours! ?
Five hundred million U.S. dollars in cash. If you pay us, we will release the people. Otherwise, there is no need to say anything else and we will just let those people thrive in the prisoner-of-war camp.

Zhang Kaiwu ignored the negotiations. Now they had to pay the money.

Because they have too few people!
This country really demonstrates what it means when bad people get good things. They have abundant natural gas reserves. In the future, they will make a fortune just by selling natural gas and oil.

As for their desire to resolve the issue by force, that is really overthinking. The era of coachmen is over.

In terms of military strength, they are really not worth mentioning now.

The red-haired Dutch race is actually a descendant of the Slavs, but the distance is too far and the time is too long.

In addition, after they had fought several battles with Great Britain and France, and were badly defeated by Great Britain at sea and beaten several times by France on land, they no longer recognized the identity of Slavs.

If you look carefully at the history and culture of Europeans, you will find that they cannot withstand the test. They are full of nonsense sacred missions. Apart from their brutal massacres, the entire European people have no civilization at all!
For example, their ballet performance, do you think it is a performance of dance art! ?
You are so superficial!
That dance hurts the dancers' toes and ankles so much, why was it invented and why did it become so popular! ?

After truly reading history, you will know that it really does not harm your body.

The real ballet performer used to have a nickname called "little mouse."

They are pretty girls selected from poor families to perform shady shows for noble gentlemen, and they are not old at all.

Those who are favored by noble gentlemen will be kept and affectionately called "little mice!".

Because Europeans all wear long skirts, but the skirts of ballet performers are very strange.

Without any sympathy, what are the nature of these ballet dancers!?
"VIP" is a very common title nowadays. It was first used when watching a ballet performance. It is a privileged title.

Only noble gentlemen are the legendary "VIP" users, and they have the right to choose "little mice" first.

The "little mice" are actually only a little over a year old when they are selected. Those who are not selected are also eliminated. They will not perform many times at all, so how can they hurt their health? ?
Finally, "VIP" developed into a culture. No matter what the matter was, there was a "VIP". The "little mouse" also developed into an art.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
For thousands of years, Europe has had a shitty cultural history.

Either it was a union army selling flour, a national army engaging in robbery, or a trade line selling black slaves.

Why are there so few Europeans! ?
Whenever I have free time, either you kill me or I kill you, and we will all be shot in a line.

The most outrageous thing is that they dug the Egyptians' five thousand years old ancestors out of the ground and ate them up cleanly, turning the Egyptian ancestors who were everywhere on the ground into precious cultural relics.

This caused the Egyptians to work desperately to counterfeit goods, and even the fresh ones were used by the Egyptians.

If there is anything serious, it probably won’t be called European history.

When you walk into a European museum, you will see that it is full of other people’s cultural relics, showing that they were robbed or stolen from a certain place on a certain day of a certain year!
Reality is even more magical than fiction, and many things cannot be written down at all.

Many people think that novels are an exaggeration and modification of real life, but he thinks that novels are a cover-up and modification of real life!

Ha ha ha ha ha!
………………

A few days later, Xiaojiu from the Beautiful Country and her friends also arrived in Borneo via a transfer flight from Hong Kong. Mu Chunhua, Zhu Zhiyin, Su Xiaoyao, Wang Tiantian, a large group of people also came.

Su Xiaoyao really gave birth to a beautiful daughter, who was so pretty that she looked like a cute little girl, and made a group of women so envious that they were about to cry.

Each of them held a child, with proud expressions on their faces.

Qin Huairu and Liang Ladi from Hong Kong came with Lin Dai and the others. They were all childless and all looked very aggrieved.

There were a bunch of beautiful women in the house, and little boys everywhere, making the house lively.

Except for a few actors in Europe who had not finished filming, all the other wives and concubines sent telegrams expressing their longing for him. The other girls were all present for the first time, and the practice lasted for several days, which kept Zhang Kaiwu very busy.

Especially the sisters Xiao Niang, sister Qin Huairu, and sister Liang Ladi, they are simply risking their lives for their children!
Ugh!
Looking at those little kids, except for the excited Li Xiulan who had never thought about having children, the other sisters were anxious.

The house was noisy all day long, and everyone came to fight with Zhang Kaiwu.

When they had some free time, Zhang Kaiwu arranged some work for them.

Because of her status, Shriya Saran was assigned to manage food in the Republic of Borneo and import large quantities of Indian food and sugar.

Only her identity can maintain this relationship. If the income of pharmaceutical companies in India is not exchanged for cheap food and sugar in India, will they ask for rupees to deposit in the bank?! ?

There is a saying that goes like this:

Earn money in India and spend it in India, and take some home.

There is a law in India that when leaving India, you are not allowed to have more than 7,000 rupees on you, otherwise it will be confiscated.

This is not a joke!
I don't mind having more food and sugar, so why would I take that rupee?

Zhang Kaiwu had no interest in the rupee's foreign exchange reserves.

Shriya Saran happily accepted the job, which was really tailor-made for her and would make it easier for her to communicate with her sister-in-law.

After discussing Zhu Zhiyin's work for a while, she went to take charge of the medical system. As for the affairs of the Beautiful Country, Wang Tiantian's family would naturally be in charge there.

Xiaojiu started working on the construction of a penicillin factory again, and this time it was no small undertaking.

A pharmaceutical industrial park covering an area of ​​100,000 acres is enough for her to work hard.

Sister Qin Huairu has started working as the logistics minister again. I guess she will have to study hard this time.

Xu Huizhen, Chen Xueru and others are even busier at work, as they have to at least plan the construction of commercial areas on four continents.

Except for a few girls who were in school, he arranged all the other girls to work in construction.

After the work arrangements, the house is a lot quieter!
………………

The Dutch negotiations were basically completed. Pablo Cannavaro, the Speaker of the Parliament of Great Britain, was invited by the Dutch to act as a mediator. After more than a month or two, they could not withstand the pressure from their own country. The key point was that there were too many captured Dutch nobles, so they could only agree to the compensation.

The key point is that the Dutch Royal Family has the most people here, and they are all superior people with ideals and beliefs. Together with those ordinary soldiers, they have seriously affected the social order of the Dutch.

But they couldn't come up with 500 million U.S. dollars all at once, so they had to scrape together the money from domestic sources, even using up the 2,000 tons of gold reserves.

All the things that their ancestors had worked so hard to snatch back were taken away this time and shipped to the London Trading Center, where they managed to raise 350 million U.S. dollars.

It's like going back to the time before liberation overnight!

Therefore, after paying a compensation of 350 million US dollars, they could only mediate under the witness of the Speaker of the British Parliament and write a business share repayment agreement.

Let Kaiwu Company act as a guarantor for the Republic of Borneo and take over these debt disputes.

Although everyone knows that these things are just taking off pants and farting, there must always be a reasonable procedure.

However, Zhang Kaiwu did not agree to the other repayment agreements, resulting in another round of negotiations.

Zhang Kaiwu asked Attorney Ajim to use this repayment agreement and the price of 150 million US dollars to force a premium to acquire shares in Royal Dutch Shell, accounting for 20% of the outstanding dividend shares.

He became the largest shareholder of Dutch Shell, except for Royal Dutch Shell. However, he had no management rights and only enjoyed the right to dividends.

The matter is finally settled!

Boatloads of ordinary Dutch people began to board and leave, including the missionaries. All the Dutch who were still alive were stuffed back in.

The royal nobles also left by plane, and the history of the Dutch in the Republic of Borneo ended.

Zhang Kaiwu looked at the Dutch people leaving and their hateful eyes, and he still felt very uncomfortable.

I am still too kind!

.....................

After the negotiations, Zhang Kaiwu and lawyer Ajim hosted a banquet for the congressman and, in accordance with Zhang family tradition, gave him a small black bag as a gift.

Inside are five top-quality sapphires, worth approximately one million U.S. dollars.

Mr. Chairman of the Parliament came here to mediate, and he must have gotten a lot of benefits from the Dutch, truly playing both sides.

Pablo Cannavaro is a smart man. He looked at the small black pocket, put away the sapphire, smiled and said curiously:
"Dear Earl Zhang! Thank you so much for your generosity! I believe there is something fishy about your repayment agreement. The market value of Royal Dutch Shell's outstanding shares is not worth $500 million. It may be only $300 to $400 million."

"The non-circulating shares account for the majority, which can influence the decision-makers. They will not sell them at all. Can you tell me about this?"

Originally, Zhang Kaiwu wanted to make things difficult for the Dutch. He wanted to use the power of the parliamentarians to supervise. Otherwise, why would he take those shares? ?

Aren’t you afraid that other companies will proactively file for bankruptcy and run away?

Zhang Kaiwu looked at him and the curious lawyer Ajim, and decided to play a big game. He smiled and explained:

"Of course! Mr. Speaker! It's a little secret. Although it can't be told outside, it's not a big secret. Maybe in a few years, it will be known to everyone."

Pablo Cannavaro handed him a cigar with interest. Earl Zhang has so many secrets!

After everyone lit up their cigars, Zhang Kaiwu said calmly:

"Even though the Dutch are very poor now and can't even come up with 500 million US dollars, they will soon become the richest people in Europe. Does their water conservancy committee know about this?"

Europe's richest man! ?
Just the Dutch! ?
Pablo Cannavaro did not expect to hear such explosive news. He said in disbelief:
"Of course I know! The Water Conservancy Commission has existed longer than the Dutch royal family. They reclaimed land in many parts of the Netherlands. They control the development rights of the Netherlands' agricultural products and mineral resources, and are the vegetable garden of Europe. But the Dutch earn a lot from selling vegetables, but can they make a fortune from selling vegetables?!"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at their curious expressions and said with a smile:

"I know a big secret! In the whole of Europe, only the Dutch have a large number of large natural gas fields in the northern region. The management ownership of this land lies with the Water Conservancy Commission, but the mining rights in the Netherlands are in the Royal Shell Company. Don't tell anyone about this."

"Otherwise, it will make it inconvenient for people to invest and manage their finances, and it will cause social unrest in Europe."

"If you have nothing to do, you can try to invest in advance, start a small business, and make a little money."

Another small business! ?

Pablo Cannavaro was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. As a parliamentarian, he certainly understood what the large natural gas fields in Europe represented!
Although there are indeed a lot of natural gas fields in the world and the price is very cheap, the most critical issue is the difficulty in transporting natural gas. The freight alone is much more expensive than the natural gas itself.

The entire European region has cold winters and is short of natural gas and various fuels, so it has always been a major energy importer.

Otherwise, why would Eastern Europe be desperately laying natural gas pipelines and crude oil pipelines in order to export natural gas to Western Europe?

If this is true, the current share price of Shell must at least increase by a hundred times.

Once the pipelines are laid, we can start collecting money directly, and we can charge Europe for this every year.

Zhang Kaiwu looked at their incredible eyes and said with a smile:

"It's true! I can't tell you where the news came from. Not many people know about this. Even Royal Dutch Shell doesn't know about this. Otherwise, even if it's circulating shares, they wouldn't mortgage them at this price."

"If you have any questions about the stock acquisition, our company can provide you with a mortgage to cover the loss."

Lawyer Ajim and the councillor thought for a long time before they realized what was going on.

Earl Zhang is even willing to use the bank as collateral, this is true!

What Earl Zhang meant by this was that he wanted everyone to play a game together, and while no one knew about it, empty out Royal Dutch Shell's shares and rob the European purse.

Because of this conflict, the relationship between Zhang Bojue and the Dutch deteriorated. It is estimated that they will not be able to make peace within a hundred years. Fearing that things will change, he can only rely on the help of others to handle this matter.

If you dare to go bankrupt and run away, we will buy you and mine the natural gas ourselves.

As for the fact that they have no money in Great Britain now, that is not a big deal. For this kind of high-profit speculative trading, they can just take out a mortgage and buy stocks.

If this news leaked out, the share price of Royal Dutch Shell would soar tenfold or even a hundredfold the next day.

You go bankrupt and show me! ?

As for why Earl Zhang did not continue to buy stocks secretly, this is also normal.

What is yours is yours. If you try to take what is not yours by force, people might really turn the tables. They will go to war to kill the creditors and set the table again.

He took 20% of the shares, neither more nor less, which was commensurate with his status.

It is basically impossible to avoid the creditor, Earl Zhang, without engaging in a war game.

If you dare to say that bankruptcy bypasses Earl Zhang, he will make the matter public and let those European retail investors make trouble.

He can still make a fortune by letting others take over and he can get out of it safely!

Twenty percent is exactly right!
………………

Senator Pablo Cannavaro finished a cigar and lit up another...

Small business, small business!
What a fascinating small business! Your road to wealth starts now!

No wonder the nobles of Great Britain like Earl Zhang and love him like their father. This really makes sense.
