The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

A pier in the Mediterranean. Hannibal dressed up as a businessman wandering around the pier. This is bold. If he is seen as a Carthaginian, the situation will definitely be troublesome. In fact, there are also Carthaginian merchants on this pier, but they His political intentions are clearly close to the Koreans. And most of their businesses are very single, slave business, some black slaves will appear in northern Africa, and the Carthaginians rely on these slaves to sell them in exchange for the materials they need, cotton cloth, or arms, of course. If there are enough quantities, they will switch to another production line. After all, in doing so, they can get better satisfaction. At the same time to make up for their disadvantage in the trade deficit, because they need a lot of Korean goods, and the Koreans only concentrate on their goods on slaves. In this case, the Carthaginian merchants need a large number of slaves. The trade between the two parties is balanced.

"Sir, come here for a cup of tea. The Korean tea is very good, refreshing, refreshing and good for health." A person who loves a few said in a proficient Central Plains language. If the Koreans listened to it themselves, they could still hear the authentic Xinzheng accent. It seems that the boss must have come from Xinzheng. There are many such Koreans who come here to open hotels, tea houses, or do other business. According to the latest statistics, more than 5,000 Koreans have moved there in the Suez Canal, but in contrast, their The number is still not very large.

"Okay. Okay." Hannibal was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time he spoke the Central Plains language on such an occasion.

"Sir, your Zhongyuan dialect, what you said is really good." Aijiren brought some high-end tea as he said. He knew these merchants knew how to try and enjoy. After all, such things are quite affluent to them. s things.

"Haha. Thank you, thank you." Hannibal clasped his fists and smiled and thanked.

"Haha. This gentleman, it's so polite." The man sitting opposite who thought he was wearing a bank uniform said with a smile. What he actually said was that he was too polite. For those who love to serve people, there is no need to be so polite. They have developed a habit of greed for petty bargains, because they found that Koreans, especially those in business, usually tip. And as long as they say more good things, they will get such tips. Sometimes, the tips earn more than their wages. This has resulted in these service staff constantly saying good things, and some even boasting.

"Look." Talking about the Korean banker, he gave him a little tip. Sure enough, the other party said a lot of good things, wishing his career success or something, the other party was obviously disgusted.

"Dare to ask Mr. What is the name?" Hannibal asked politely.

"Zhang You, Korean, bank representative, in fact, we are here only to help Korean banks do business." Zhang You replied. Hannibal nodded, this bank, he had heard of it, Zhao Guoren once said that the bank is very rich, and they can lend you a certain amount of money, of course. You have to repay the interest. Usually, a company or a trading company needs to repay 10% of the interest to complete the loan, but this calculation is much better than Carthage's usury. In this way, they are still good.

"Banks, very good money-making institutions." Hannibal said.

"Come on, for doing business here, they don't seem to need to borrow funds. This makes us very annoyed." Zhang You said?

"What do you mean?" Hannibal ate the snack brought by the waiter. There are a lot of white sugar in these desserts. This kind of thing is rare in Carthage. After all, white sugar is still a luxury item and only the nobles can enjoy it.

"Foreign businessmen here don't need to borrow funds at all. They are unwilling to borrow funds, as if they never use funds for business." Zhang You said.

"Although I know there are some objective factors, business here is really difficult to do." Zhang You said. The actual situation is indeed like this, because the social environment here has not stabilized, and most of the slave businesses are individuals. Some of them do not even speak the Central Plains words. Such loans are full of risks. They I know that Korean banks can borrow a lot of money, but the problem is that this kind of money can bring them a lot of risks. Who knows if they will repay the money after borrowing, because if they ran away, there would be nothing. . Faced with such a situation, they can say nothing, nothing. Therefore, this situation is simply unacceptable to them.

"Can you tell me?" Hannibal asked curiously.

"Well, people doing business here, I know they need funds, but, you know, Koreans currently need some labor, nothing more. So, the locals need a lot of things, but the local environment is still Not stabilizing, which means that demand has decreased and trade has a large surplus.” Zhang You explained this way, and Hannibal didn’t know anything. He didn’t know how to explain these things, because he had a lot of things. do not understand.

"Well, I admit that what I said is a bit off topic. I mean, the amount of loans is very small. This way. Our business is naturally difficult to do. In fact, the biggest business is our cooperation with the government, but The problem is that the government that loves a few people has no credibility, so business is naturally difficult to proceed." Zhang You said.

"Doing business with the government?" This was the most amazing news that Hannibal had heard.

"Yes, when we do business with the government, we can buy government bonds. The government is equivalent to borrowing money in the name of the country. They can mortgage land and national assets. In this way, the country’s credit is there and they can issue bonds. If they do, they can have more financial funds. They can engage in economic construction, as well as military weapons procurement, etc. This will solve many problems for them." Zhang You said. Banks like them are naturally willing to cooperate with the government, because current businessmen still lack business organizations that they trust enough, and the largest business organization is the national government, because only the national government can meet their needs. Because they have good credit.

Suddenly Hannibal had an astonishingly bold idea, that is, the Carthage government can borrow from them in this way. As long as they have enough funds, they can solve many problems. This is a very good idea, and Hannibal thinks it is worthwhile.

South Korea, Xinzheng. Supreme Command.

"Negotiations should be done as soon as possible. Our bottom line is that Thebes and our occupied areas are handed over to the free government, and we can enjoy all the rights. If they want, they can propose compensation or rent places to guarantee our rights. We can accept the rest." Han Shu said to the Foreign Minister. On the issue of the Aiji peace talks, Han Shu has his own bottom line. The bottom line is to ensure the Korean occupation of the zone.

"My lord, we will fight for it. However, Aiji people seem to pin all their hopes on Zhao Guoren. They hope to get Thebes back. If they want, they are willing to provide more funds to redeem. This It is a condition given by Zhao Guoren." The Foreign Minister replied.

"No. It's Thebes. We don't change anything. Unless he can exchange more ports, otherwise, there is no value in peace talks. I think he should understand such a situation." Han Sue said so.

"There is no need to discuss this matter at all. In addition, let our navy be stationed in Thebes as soon as possible. We must ensure the existence of our military power." Han Shu knew that if he wanted to gain greater rights, he was receiving Enough bargaining chips must be used in the subsequent negotiations. This bargaining chip is that they need to use a considerable amount of military power to prove their military existence. This is the result Han Shu wants.

Zhao Guo, inside the staff. Zhao’s staff are paying attention to the development of the future combat situation of Goguryeo and Yan.

"For now, the Yan people currently want to build some civil engineering to complete their defense to the greatest extent. However, they do not have the materials and lack more tools to transport materials. If at this speed, and the development of the seasons , I think it will take them at least five to seven years to complete such a construction. Therefore, I think we should not worry about the problem of Yan's defense line." A lieutenant colonel said disapprovingly. In his opinion, the outcome of Yan people is doomed, unless a miracle occurs.

"Even so, we should also notice. We still have a large number of artillery bombarding the opponent's fortress line in order to achieve the final breakthrough." Another lieutenant colonel said cautiously. Only fools do some bold and stupid things in war. Therefore, under such circumstances, what they have to do is to carefully formulate every careful plan, so that they can take the initiative in the future. This is what they have to do.

"It's not unreasonable to be cautious, but we don't need to be afraid of them at all." The lieutenant colonel still said stubbornly.

"Okay. Don’t say it. The Yan people have done some things. At least it has been proved that there have been two new designations, two mountain infantry divisions, they will pose a greater threat, they don’t. Easy to deal with." A colonel interrupted their argument.
