Revolution 1938

() Not to mention the bustling scene at Shiliupu Wharf, the nearby Macquarie Bank, which later became No. 18 Building on the Bund, also attracted a few uninvited guests at this time.

"Mr. Ferrand, hello, this is Director Qian of the Foreign Economic and Trade Office of the People's Government of Puhai City. From now on, Director Qian will be responsible for all matters related to foreign-related enterprises in Puhai. I am here today to introduce you Down."

The person who spoke was Tang Yan, whom almost all foreigners in Puhai knew well. She was an absolutely powerful woman. There were not a few foreigners who had suffered from her. Generally speaking, wherever she appeared, she There will be unlucky people.

"Hehe, Xiao Tang was joking, hello Mr. Ferrand, I am Qian Shiqin, and now I am the director of the Foreign Economic and Trade Office of the People's Government of Puhai City, and I am dedicated to serving you big foreign bosses in Puhai . Please take care of me in the future.”

"It's easy to say, easy to say, our Macquarie Bank is a legally operating financial institution in Puhai, and I hope Minister Tang and Director Qian will take care of it in the future."

"Mr. Ferrand, you don't have to look at me, hehe, I won't take care of your affairs anymore. I'm exhausted. I'll only bother your Sir Philip from now on. Don't worry!"

Hearing what Tang Yan said, Ferrand breathed a sigh of relief. This beautiful and fashionable woman is not as ignorant as the generally imagined Chinese women, and she doesn't know what is in her head. Basically, there is no eloquent woman in the foreign circle in Puhai who is as good as this woman, and she is fluent in many foreign languages, so you can't scold her in a foreign language behind her back.It should be much easier to deal with a half-old man now.

"Director Qian, I will rely on you more from now on,"

"It's easy to say, easy to say, I am serving you foreign businessmen. As long as you abide by the relevant foreign economic and trade laws and regulations designated by us, our people's government will definitely help you get rich."

Seeing Fatty Qian's eloquent flickering, Tang Yan, who was watching the show, smiled secretly. Don't think that this fat man who looks harmless to humans and animals is so easy-going. In modern times, he is a big crocodile, and foreign financial investors are most afraid of it. What I heard was William Qian's nickname, and there were not a few fund managers who were forced to jump off the building by him.If it wasn't for the fun of the big Buddha returning to the country with the container ship participating in the exercise, this big Buddha really wouldn't have appeared. That's great, and now he will start to harm the foreign bankers of this era after time travel.These old guys who ran the bank will suffer a lot in the future.

"Haha, Mr. Ferrand is joking. Of course, I'm not here just to chat. I'm here today to bring Mr. Ferrand a business."

"Oh, what kind of business? Director Qian, tell me."

"Our People's Government will re-invest in a large-scale steelmaking enterprise at the former site of the Puhai Steelmaking Plant and the area surrounding the merger, so we need some related equipment, and the purchase of equipment will certainly be purchased from abroad. I'm here today. I came here just to discuss cooperation intentions with Mr. Ferrand."

"Director Qian is polite, shouldn't you go to those foreign firms for equipment purchase?"

"Hehe, Mr. Ferrand, don't worry, listen to me. Since we confiscated a large amount of Japanese yuan from various banks and enterprises in Puhai after we captured Puhai, the total was about 2.47 million, but Since our government and Japan have cut off all political and economic ties, we hope to deposit the r yuan in your bank and convert it into US dollars for storage, and entrust your bank to purchase the corresponding materials, and We will not withdraw the money until we pay it to the foreign bank, I wonder what Mr. Ferrand wants?"

"Well, Director Qian should know that with your attack, the current ri yuan is not worth much."

"Hehe, Mr. Ferrand is being unkind. We still know the current exchange rate. Although it can't reach the level of 4.5ri yuan: 1 U.S. dollar officially set by Japan, 5ri yuan: 1 U.S. dollar is still very easy to get. Yes. You know, on the second day after we seized Zhengjin Bank, Mr. John from Citibank came to see us, but considering our relationship with your country, we still prefer to transfer this huge sum of money Deposit it in the bank of your country, besides, the economics of the Americans and the Japanese are more than that of the British, and you transfer these ri dollars to the branch in Japan, which is not spent every minute."

"That's true, hahaha, okay, since Director Qian said so, I won't be hypocritical, I will accept the ri yuan, if you want to exchange ri yuan in the future, you can contact me, we will Macquarie Bank will definitely help you with these funds."

"It's easy, easy to say, then Mr. Ferrand will take a good look at our purchase list. We have marked the purchase price. If your bank can buy it cheaper, then the extra will be Mr. Ferrand's own benefit. We won't bother."

"Haha, haha, it's easy to say, easy to say, buy some supplies, our bank can definitely help your government solve it in the fastest time."

For a purchase order of 2.47 million ri yuan, even if it is converted into US dollars at a ratio of 5:1, it is nearly 5000 million yuan. If you can suppress the purchase price by 5%, you can easily get 250 million US dollars. What's wrong with this? It’s easy to say, maybe I can increase the exchange amount a little bit, then I can get more. By the way, I’ll follow the current official exchange rate, 4.5:1, that’s 5400 million. My own benefit is to get more 20 Ah.

"Director Qian, why don't we sign the contract now? The Guizheng Fu has deposited nearly 2.47 million ri in one go. Of course, I want to entertain you as a VIP. If you don't, I'll pay you 4.5 ri The method of exchanging 1 yuan for 3 US dollar will give you how much to exchange, and give you [-]% interest per month.

As long as you promise to hand over all the ri assets of your zheng fu to us, we can also promise to provide you with about 75% of the credit loan on the existing basis, and you can use your credit in our bank anytime and anywhere 75% of the assets, and does not affect the related subsequent payment of the assets in our bank.And it can be used anytime and anywhere in foreign countries where there are our branches or cooperative banks. "

"Well, 75% is a little too low. Otherwise, the 100% one-year credit loan should not exceed 2% per annum. In addition, it must not affect the flow of our related funds in your bank.

In addition, we can also sign an agreement. In the future, your Macquarie Bank will become our first cooperative foreign exchange clearing bank. In the future, all the ri yuan assets of our government will be exchanged and managed by your bank.

And given you an investment license, your bank can provide users with various financial investment and wealth management services that comply with financial management regulations within the scope of our zheng fu management, so that you can more conveniently serve with our zheng fu in the future.what do you think? "

As soon as he heard it, he could legally conduct financial investment within the jurisdiction of the people's government in the future, and in addition, all the ri-yuan assets would be handled by his bank in the future, not to mention how much this performance would bring him With a promising prospect of promotion, the difference in the purchase price of related materials purchased with bare shoes funds is not a small figure. Maybe after a few years, you can donate a jazz when you go back, and you can go to a good place to pass the magistrate in the future addicted. "

"Then it's settled. I'll have someone draw up the contract now. Come and taste my good wine again. I won it from the French Consul General at the poker table." Ferrand laughed and took a picture. Clap your hands and signal to the waiter outside the door to prepare champagne to celebrate today's good mood.

"Oh, good wine, let's have a good taste. After Mr. Ferrand helps me purchase the supplies we need, I will invite him to drink my hidden Feitian Moutai. something."

"Then it's settled, haha, haha..."

Seeing the scene of these two people looking at each other and laughing, Tang Yan couldn't help but secretly smiled bitterly. These unscrupulous guys were talking about accepting bribes in front of her.Understating the decision of hundreds of millions of capital transactions, the brains of these people with financial backgrounds are really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

……

Drinking, reviewing the contract, signing the contract, the whole process has been completed, and the moon is already in the head. Qian Shiqin, who seemed to be drunk, suddenly became energetic after getting in the special car, and his dark eyes were reflected by the dim headlights. It's extremely bright, this is the seemingly drunk Qian Shiqin.

"Director Qian, is it so simple to hand over the handling of ri yuan to Standard Chartered?"

"What is Standard Chartered? It's now called McGalley. Don't underestimate this bank. It is a bank specially approved by the British royal family. The boss in the backstage has the shadow of the fat woman in the UK, and has unparalleled influence in the banking industry in the UK and even Europe.

Today we seem to have given him a lot of benefits and fed Ferrand. Only in this way can we find some teammates who stand together when we launch our own Zhongyang Bank later. This is called interest binding.

Besides, the ri yuan will always be used anyway, and with our rise, the exchange rate of the ri yuan will drop sharply. If we go directly to foreign banks, the price will not be able to be suppressed at all, and the circulation of ri yuan will not be convenient.It might fall into our hands.

McGalley is different. During the First World War, Japan borrowed a lot of money from the UK. It is the same now. McGalley has a wealth of capital circulation channels in Japan. You are optimistic. The materials we want to buy will wait for you to receive them. There will definitely be a lot of Japanese goods when the time comes.Our purchase price has been set very low, but Ferrand can get at least 3% of it for his own benefit, or even 5%.

Bankers are creatures I know best, they can do anything as long as there is money to be made.Let's go, I have to talk to Citibank tomorrow, some of them are busy recently. "

While speaking, the convoy crossed the bright Waibaidu Bridge, entered the dim boundary of Hongkou, and headed for the People's Government. At night in Shanghai in May, a layer of mist gradually formed.Let the moon in the sky become more hazy.
