Fengxian Jiangshan

() Saving the country by industry has always been a resounding slogan. Zhang Tinglan set up four factories at once. It stands to reason that he should publicize them with great fanfare to let the people of Fengtian know and attract them to consume. However, his machines were smuggled after all, so there is still some Guilty, so reluctant to speak out.

In addition, according to Zhang Tinglan's plan, after the products are produced, they will be sold to Russia directly through Fred's relationship, and the work will be over, as low-key as possible.However, with Wang Yongjiang's reminder, Zhang Tinglan suddenly thought of a way to make money. Russia is a poor ghost, and Britain and France are really throwing away a lot of money. It is definitely a good thing if they can sell things to Europe.

As long as there is business contact with Britain and France, you can take the opportunity to understand the situation in Europe, just in time to prepare for Germany's post-war bargain hunting.Going to Beijing this time, you can look for opportunities, contact Britain and France, and find a market.Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan made up her mind that she would follow her when she went to Beijing this time, but who should I leave the family affairs to?

"Ting Lan, most of the things in this world that can't be put on the table have shady secrets, don't you think?"

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Yongjiang, you are really right, my machine is not from the right place!"

Liu Shucheng also knew how these machines came about. He gave Zhang Tinglan a wink and told him not to say too much. After all, he was not familiar with Wang Yongjiang.But Zhang Tinglan believes in Wang Yongjiang's character, and Zhang Tinglan also wants to draw Wang Yongjiang into the group as soon as possible.

This time when Zhang Zuolin went to Beijing, Zhang Tinglan also followed. Fengtian's various work had just started, and there must be people with sufficient ability and status to sit in charge.Among the characters that Zhang Tinglan can use, Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan are capable and have no status, and Zhang Zuo and others have enough prestige, but they are not familiar with business matters. If Wang Yongjiang can help, it is the most suitable.

"Ting Lan, building a factory is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Even if your machine comes from a wrong path, as long as it doesn't harm the common people, I agree. It's hard to start a business, and it's normal to use some villainous methods. It’s so popular, it’s not easy for domestic products to fight their way out!”

"Mr. Yongjiang, I can trust you. To tell you the truth, these things belong to the Russians. I dismantled their factories and shipped the machines directly!"

When Wang Yongjiang heard this, his eyes widened immediately: "Ting Lan, isn't Russia in a war? Their factories are very precious, why would they sell them casually?"

"Sir, haven't you heard that money can turn ghosts around? Sha'e people are more greedy than our officials. As long as you have enough money, everything will be easy!"

Wang Yongjiang nodded and said: "I have also met some people from Tsarist Russia. They are indeed greedy. I wonder how much you spent on these machines?"

Zhang Tinglan shook two fingers, smiled without saying a word, as if asking Wang Yongjiang to guess the riddle.

"20 yuan is not a small amount!" Wang Yongjiang sighed: "It is enough to buy less than [-] yuan, but now it is in the midst of war, even if you have money, you can't buy it, so it is worth spending more! "

"Hahaha, Mr. Yongjiang, it's not 20!"

Wang Yongjiang was stunned for a moment. Judging by Zhang Tinglan's complacent look, the price would definitely not be too expensive, so he tentatively asked, "2 yuan? If it's this price, it's definitely a bargain."

"It's 2000 yuan!"

Wang Yongjiang almost spit out blood, this is not buying a machine, it is simply buying scrap iron, even cheaper than the price of scrap iron!

Looking at Wang Yongjiang with an incredible expression, Zhang Tinglan felt extremely happy. It was beyond the imagination of the most savvy people of this era, which showed that her hard work was not in vain.

"Mr. Yongjiang, it's easy to say, and I can tell you everything, but I have one request, that is, you help me manage the mess in front of me."

Wang Yongjiang had a playful look on his face, and he chuckled twice: "Master Zhang, I'm not a curious person, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and one less thing is worse than nothing at all!"

Wang Yongjiang stood up as he said that, as if he was about to leave, Zhang Tinglan still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care, picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip, and was completely calm.

"Master Zhang, you've got me!" Wang Yongjiang walked two steps, sat down again, and said with a wry smile: "I can do things for you, Young Master Zhang, but everything depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I will do more. Take care, I don’t care if I’m in a bad mood, even if the sky is falling.”

Zhang Tinglan smiled and cupped his hands at Wang Yongjiang: "Sir, you are such a character, you will never be indiscriminate today. Since you asked, I guess you can't refuse to help!"

Wang Yongjiang shook his clothes and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to know about running a factory. I have been calling for saving the country through industry for many years, but the results have not been very effective. I just want to see how Master Zhang runs a factory. It turned out that you still Having the ability to take advantage of foreigners is something that hasn't happened in many years, such an interesting thing, Wang is really itchy, and can't help but want to intervene."

"Mr. Yongjiang, I am smuggling luxury goods to Russia, earning huge profits, and then using this money to buy off the Russian dignitaries. It is not difficult to get the machine!"

Wang Yongjiang's eyes were sharp, he stared at Zhang Tinglan, and asked again: "Smuggling business, you can't do it if you are not familiar with the place, you have help!"

"Fred, manager of Dowson Bank."

Wang Yongjiang laughed loudly: "Understood, I understand!" Wang Yongjiang suddenly realized with a smile and said: "I have long heard that in foreign countries, banks are very powerful. If you can form an ally with them, there is nothing you cannot do. Lan, you took this step higher!"

The reason why Wang Yongjiang is known as an expert in financial management is because he has a vision far beyond ordinary people, and he has a deep understanding of finance.After he assisted Zhang Zuolin in later generations, he quickly stabilized Fengtian's financial order, allowing Fengtian to maintain a stable exchange rate with ri yuan, which greatly promoted Fengtian's export trade.

Therefore, after Zhang Tinglan said that he had obtained cooperation with the banker, Wang Yongjiang immediately guessed the transaction behind it.

"Sir, Fred and I are not optimistic about the future of Russia. Tsarist Russia, a mud-legged giant, may not be able to survive this unprecedented war. The collapse of the empire is imminent. We just want to make some war money and death money!"

"It's right!" Wang Yongjiang said coldly: "The Russians have been doing evil in the three eastern provinces these years, and they have harmed many Chinese people. It is not an exaggeration to deal with them. But I don't know the situation in Russia very well, Ting Lan, you Can you guarantee that Tsarist Russia will collapse?"

"I can guarantee that there will be drastic changes in Russia. Fred and I have reached a consensus on this point!"

Wang Yongjiang nodded, then stood up, turned his hands behind his back twice, and then said: "Ting Lan, since you are sure that Russia will collapse, then there is a faster way to make money and let the Russians shed more blood. It’s too slow to make money by smuggling!”

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard the word "making money", Zhang Tinglan's eyes widened. Regardless of Zhang Tinglan's non-stop busy work during this time, he had a lot of money in his hands, but Zhang Tinglan knew that Lao Zhang was only one step away from Fengtian Governor.Once Lao Zhang gets an official position, Fengtian will start a large-scale economic construction. At that time, no amount of money will be enough, so Zhang Tinglan is extremely interested in any way to get money quickly.

"Please also give me some advice, sir!"

"It's nothing more than making a fuss about the currency. You can first lend a part of the ruble to the Russian bank, and then exchange it into gold, and wait for Russia to collapse. At that time, the ruble will definitely plummet, or even become waste paper. When repaying the money, use a small amount If you buy rubles with the money, you can just return it to the bank!"

Wang Yongjiang said a few words, Zhang Tinglan's eyes were a little red, what is a great talent, this is a great talent!The method of making money that Wang Yongjiang mentioned has also appeared in later generations, that is, when the Soviet Union disintegrated, foreign capital used financial power to depreciate the ruble into waste paper overnight, and the Russians painstakingly accumulated for decades, reaching tens of trillions All dollar assets were looted.

Wang Yongjiang is obviously not a time traveler, but with his extraordinary economic acumen, he also thought of a similar money-making idea. Russia is still on the gold standard at this time, so he can find a way to extract Russian gold.

China is not a big gold and silver producing country, and has been plundered by foreign powers for nearly a hundred years. There is a serious shortage of precious metals in society, but this is the era of the gold standard, and gold is the hard currency of the world.If a batch of gold can be obtained from Russia, it will be of unparalleled significance for ensuring the safety of Fengtian's currency.

Although Zhang Tinglan is quick-witted, he was still an ordinary college student in his previous life, and his vision of making money was limited to real things, and he didn't consider the sharp weapon of finance at all. Now that Wang Yongjiang said, he was enlightened.

Zhang Tinglan stood up and gave a deep salute to Wang Yongjiang: "Mr. Yongjiang, you are indeed a great talent! The attack on Russia was not for your own selfishness, but to give Fengtian back the opportunity for development. Please also look at Fengtian, and even For the sake of the Chinese people, come out and help!"

Wang Yongjiang laughed loudly, grabbed Zhang Tinglan, and said: "I have seen it for a long time these days, Tinglan, you are a person who is sincere in doing things, and just a North Market can benefit the business people of Fengtian and restore commercial rights. In contrast, although Yongjiang is several times older than you, he has not done anything for the people of Fengtian these years, and he is ashamed to say it."

"It's not too late, sir. I'll contact Fred immediately. One of you is an excellent banker, and the other is an expert in financial management. If you work closely together, you will be able to squeeze out all the bone marrow oil from the Russians!"

On the way to Daosheng Bank, Zhang Tinglan mentioned that he was planning to accompany Zhang Zuolin to Beijing to report on his work.

"Zhang Yuting, Gao Sheng is just around the corner, but the city of Beijing is full of fish and dragons, and speculators from all walks of life gather. It is not easy to get Lao Yuan's approval,"

"Mr. is right. Yuan Shikai is surrounded by a bunch of official fans. Zhang Xiluan has resigned. Many people are like cats smelling fish. They are all ready to snatch this throne. We can only do our best and give more gifts. Always inspiring."

"Hehe, giving gifts is a bad habit in Beiyang." Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "Officials in Beiyang are similar to those in the former Qing Dynasty. The university asked, how to send it can play the role of four or two thousand catties, you must be careful with the amount!"

Zhang Tinglan accepted the task of buying presents, and he was worrying about what to give. Now that Wang Yongjiang said this, he knew that this person was an expert, so he smiled and said, "Please give me some advice, sir!"
