The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

In order to establish the agricultural syndicate of spn, Jiang Yu mobilized another 2 million yuan and poured it in. Under the premise of using advanced agricultural machinery, the return rate of agriculture is undoubtedly very high.

Because the cost of agricultural production is very low, there is a high rate of return.

Of course, Jiang Yu has no money now. With the start of the second phase of the industry, all the money Jiang Yu earned from rubber stocks has been spent on the construction of industry, infrastructure, agriculture, water conservancy, and education.

The [-] million loans of the German state-owned KfW Bank only amounted to [-] million, which was taken out by Jiang Yu and thrown into agriculture. At present, what Jiang Yu can mobilize is the profit funds of the East China Group, but many of these profit funds are used to expand the scale among.

In other words, the funds invested in the construction at this time have exceeded 15 billion. [

Its total assets are expanding at a crazy speed.

In order to increase profits, Jiang Yu specialized in petroleum technology in Huai'an in April, and Huadong Group soon produced plastic products with mature technology.

The plastic patent was applied for as early as 06, and it has been authorized to some businessmen in various countries for production.

There is a compulsory enforcement provision in the patent laws of various countries, that is, if a patented technology has not been authorized for several years, if it is very useful, it will be forcibly authorized.

Authorized to the manufacturer, you can collect patent fees, and at this time, Jiangyu does not need to pay patent fees for the production of plastics in China. Instead, it can subsidize the patent fees collected from competitors into its own products, thus forming a stronger Market Competitiveness.

A large number of plastic products have begun to appear, and these plastic products are widely used.

From daily necessities, to commodity packaging, to agricultural production, industrial production and so on, it has great uses.

At the same time, refining produces other by-products, such as bitumen that can be used to build roads, and raw materials used to make toothpaste, washing powder, soap, soap, and shampoo.

For cleaning products such as washing powder, soap, and scented soap, Huadong Group must monopolize them, because monopolizing these commodities represents huge profits.

Who can live without these things?

Of course, bums can.

But normal people use it every day, so it is conceivable how amazing its profits are. As long as a monopoly is formed, its profits are absolutely super high.

For the Huadong Group, which monopolizes the domestic oil industry, with its advanced productivity, it has already defeated American kerosene domestically.

The quality and packaging of by-products such as washing powder, soap, and shampoo are better than those of American products. Many Americans do not yet have them, but once they are released, they quickly occupy the market, and there are still many overseas orders.

And quickly developed agents overseas, and absorbed a lot of funds.

At this time, Jiang Yu has already mastered a lot of patents, and the patent fees he can collect every year are as high as hundreds of millions of silver dollars. However, Jiang Yu thinks that the money is coming slowly, so he sends people to mortgage these patents in various countries and apply for commercial loans from banks in various countries. .

At the same time, Jiang Yu began to use the factories and commercial companies in his hands as collateral to make loans from foreign banks in various countries.

Loans applying for patents are relatively hidden and have not received much attention, while applying for loans using factories and enterprises has immediately attracted great attention from governments of various countries, and it has also touched Yuan Shikai's nerves.

Jiang Yu suddenly applied for a large amount of loans, which made Britain, France and other big powers that supported Yuan Shikai vigilant. [

What is the local warlord going to do?

If he got the money, wouldn't it threaten the status of their spokesperson Yuan Shikai?Therefore, banks with backgrounds in Britain, France and other countries rejected Jiang Yu's application for commercial loans.

Even Yuan Shikai sent a telegram to inquire.

Recently, Yuan Shikai strengthened his intelligence network on the Lianghuai area, and the information he received made Yuan Shikai turn pale with shock.

At this time, Jiangyu has united with the Restoration Society, controlled the four provinces of Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and built many factories and roads.

In the territory of Jiangyu, there is a vigorous development force, just like the rising sun.

What Sun Zhendong said to Yuan Shikai when he came as an envoy was not only true, but also reserved. Jiang Yu's strength is so strong that it is not difficult to unify China by force at this time.

At this time, Jiang Yu proposed commercial loans to various countries, which immediately made Yuan Shikai even more frightened.

Although Jiang Yu nominally took refuge in Yuan Shikai, and kept saying that he was willing to work for the central government, but who knows if they would stab him with a knife, Yuan Shikai felt a sense of exhaustion in his heart.

This kid Jiang Yu is like a sharp sword hanging over his head, he may hurt or even kill someone at any time.

Of course, Jiang Yu’s proposal of commercial loans to other countries was not for the purpose of destroying Yuan Shikai and the Revolutionary Party and unifying China by force, but for the purpose of developing a sufficient industrial scale when the First World War broke out, and at the same time building sufficient coastal defenses before the First World War strength.

Facing the worries of Yuan Shikai and the big powers, Jiang Yu first called back to Yuan Shikai, saying that the loan was a personal commercial loan, and the borrowed funds would be invested in the development of industry and commerce.

"If the president is worried, he can send someone to supervise the whereabouts of the funds." After Jiang Yu put forward the supervision plan, he added another sentence after the telegram, "Our chamber of commerce is committed to the development of industry and commerce. If it is hindered by politics, the direction of the chamber of commerce may If President Yuan is willing to facilitate this commercial loan and eliminate the misunderstanding of political reasons, the chamber of commerce will share the worries of the central government, and the revival army is willing to send [-] troops to recover Mongolian frontier."

The threat in his telegram is obvious.

Although this is a tactful move, it is very clear. If the East China Chamber of Commerce cannot obtain loans because of integrity and prevents us from developing business, then we have to change the development route, invest money in the military, and use military means to destroy You, Yuan Shikai, go to borrow money from foreigners.

This telegram shocked Yuan Shikai again.

Of course, as mentioned later, if Yuan Shikai is willing to facilitate the loan, the Renaissance Army is willing to send [-] troops, which is also the strength of two to three divisions, to recover Mongolia for Yuan Shikai.

At this time, the Mongolian issue became a major headache for Yuan Shikai. The Mongolian princes and nobles took advantage of the [-] Revolution not only to break away from Chinese rule, but also to occupy the Inner Mongolia area of ​​later generations.

The voice of the whole country for the recovery of Mongolia is very high.

If Yuan Shikai could regain Mongolia during his tenure, it would obviously be a very good achievement.

Yuan Shikai sighed after reading the telegram: "This kid named Jiang is not simple! He still holds a butcher's knife in one hand and a sweet date in the other. If I am obedient, I will give a sweet date. If I am not obedient, I will let the old man eat the knife." .”

"Father, what should we do?" Yuan Keding asked a little at a loss. [

The current situation has developed like this, far exceeding Yuan Keding's expectations. The revival army, which was originally thought to be defeated, actually won, and the victory was extremely clean.

"What else can I do! Since he wants a loan, let him do it!" Yuan Shikai shook his head naively.

"Then if he uses the money to expand his military power, then we!" Yuan Keding was puzzled, and Yuan Shikai snorted, "If you don't cooperate with his loan, he can kill us now. If you cooperate with his loan, at least you can delay it for a while." Besides, the guy surnamed Jiang may not necessarily want to use the money to expand his military power."

……

At the same time, Jiang Yu went to the Shanghai Concession to meet the British ambassador Zhu Erdian, a key figure in the adjustment of British policy towards China.

Zhu Erdian has been in China for many years, and Yuan Shikai has maintained a good relationship with him, which is also the key reason why he won the support of Britain.

The meeting between the two parties was relatively smooth. Zhu Erdian attached great importance to this young man who had recently risen. He believed that this was the only person in China who could shake Yuan Shikai's status.
