Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 289 Southbound Train (3)

   Seeing that the topic was deadlocked, the atmosphere gradually became serious, Li Fushou coughed twice and broke the silence and said;

"Funding issues are indeed the key to the commissioning of the Songjiang Wool Industrial Base. Nothing can be done without money, but the monetary tightening of Huitong Bank is also true. The military situation is urgent in front, and a large number of military expenses have recently been prepared to support the current war. Borneo is in full swing. The reorganization of training, the transportation of munitions by one ship, and the dispatch of tens of thousands of militiamen to Borneo all require financial support. Mr. Kestner has made great efforts to raise funds and made outstanding contributions to support the war ahead. Contribute, everyone, don't blame him."

  The thoughtful Mr. Kestner’s eyes are moist, really...who knows the difficulties in his heart?

  In the past six months

  Kestner was most afraid of the Lord Earl’s summoning. This lofty figure was always a million pounds at every turn. He really spends money like running water and is unrestrained. Sitting in this position is really difficult.

As the basic policy loan of Huitong Bank, immigration loan cannot be misappropriated at any time. According to the calculation of free immigration of 60,000 to 70,000 per month, from the boat ticket to entering Australia and being able to integrate into society, the per capita loan is 20-25 Around the pound sterling, this alone is no less than the average monthly loan scale of 1.5 million pounds, and the annual loan plate reaches about 18 million pounds.

  In addition, all aspects of social life need loan support, and Kestner himself can’t afford to give birth. Huitong Bank’s over-issuance of gold tickets has exceeded the 50% mark, becoming the most important means to support the current financial dilemma.

  This is heading towards self-destruction!

The manager of Kestner, who has been engaged in the financial industry for decades, clearly knows that banknote issuance in the world today is based on the gold standard. Ordinary people can exchange the same amount of gold at any time with Huitong gold tickets (fees need to be paid). Once the credit of banknote issuance is broken , Resulting in a crowd run, the behemoth Huitong Bank will collapse.

  As a bank director, this terrible ending is unacceptable by Manager Kestner. All his wealth is in Huitong Bank. Once Huitong Bank goes bankrupt, he will become obscure from Wanguan and his career will be ruined.

  Well, well, I’m just a small shareholder who is insignificant. The Lord Earl, who controls most of the bank’s shares, can afford to gamble, so don’t carry it for a small person like me.

After a brief touch, Mr. Kestner said dryly; "You know, Lord Earl, the severe shortage of funds has affected the free immigration loan for the next month, but we can temporarily solve this problem by embezzling dividends. A little bit can be squeezed out to support the construction of the Songjiang base, but the premise is that there will be no major military expenditures in September and October, and that will be over. Free immigration work must be suspended, because Huitong Bank is really out of money. "

   "Hey... In the short term, there will be no large-scale war in Borneo, or the Songjiang base is urgently needed. Then... How much can Huitong Bank squeeze out?" Li Fushou asked.

  He did not answer directly. The ghost knows when a large-scale battle will take place in Borneo?

  Anyway, the Dutch are also preparing intensively. The sky over Borneo is full of war clouds, and the two sides are confronted with each other. The preparations for war have not stopped for a moment.

  If you really want to start a fight, no one can persuade you.

  "Oh...this amount of money does not exceed 200,000 pounds at most, which is already the maximum capacity of Huitong Bank." Mr. Kestner answered as uncomfortable as constipation.

"That's it..." Li Fushou touched his chin with some embarrassment, and thought about it. "The Songjiang base needs raw material funds to operate. The total funding gap is still 400 to 500,000 pounds. There is indeed some money in Nekuri. , This is to prepare for emergencies. I asked them to allocate another 150,000 pounds, plus the previous allocation of 250,000 pounds, so the total allocation is 400,000 pounds. The remaining funding gap can be resolved through multiple financing. River Valley Industrial Corporation also tried to find a way. Now those guys in the army have a lot of money in their pockets, and they can be mobilized to invest in dividends to solve a large part of it. , Just pay him back after a few months in arrears."

  "Thank you for your care, Lord Earl, and Mr. Kestner for your help, so that our Red River Valley Industrial Headquarters will have the confidence to solve the biggest problem and ensure the smooth operation of the Songjiang Base." Hu Chaoshan stood up with joy and fist.

Mr. Kestra rolled his eyes, and said in an uncomfortable way; "The Huitong Bank is really out of money now, please let us go, gentlemen, please don’t open your mouth where you need money, what's the matter? Let's talk about it after a year, please be conscious."

   When saying this, Kestner stared fiercely at the Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer. This was meant to be heard by this militant German soldier.

  If you ask who Kestner hates the most, Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer will undoubtedly rank first.

  The loans for other projects are borrowed with interest and interest. The only military expenditure is meat buns and dogs. If there is no return, Mr. Kestner will be **** if he likes it!

It was this frenzied martial artist who kept fighting for the noble Earl, igniting the flames of war everywhere, so that the original blooming economic development situation was covered with a thick layer of war, and there were large financial losses and excesses. The culprit was the capital. These military leaders who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

  Where did the **** sit and say something, Kestner didn't have the guts to blame the noble Lord Earl, and all the resentment was vented to the military.

  You must know that huge military expenditures can’t bring any economic gains.

Nowadays, urban construction and industrial and commercial development have to be supported by loans everywhere. These projects with stable income cannot get money. Instead, the accumulated large sums of funds are turned into huge military expenses and burned. This makes Mr. Kestner heartbroken. How can it be tolerated?

  Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer is now proud of the spring breeze, with many soldiers, he doesn't care about Mr. Kestner's eyes killing, he laughed and said;

"The soldiers in the front shed blood and sweat to open up the frontiers and expand the territory, and serve the Lord Earl. Only when I have the great situation in the South Pacific region of the Red River Valley Megatron, the future prospects are bright. You, the miser, know what long-term strategy is, and hold you all day long. I can’t bear to take it out with that little money buckle. I really don’t want to be angry with the table..."

"Fart, you, a vulgar warrior who sells wars with open mouths, is also worthy to preach in front of me. I am conscientiously guarding the family business for the Lord Earl, and escorting the overall economic development of the Red River Valley. The current thriving and rapid economic momentum is absolutely nowhere to be seen. No interruption is allowed. If you don’t have money, you can drink the northwest wind. How can the importance of economic development be understood by a fool like you? There is so much land in the world, and you can still occupy it? God used your so-called strategy to incite Lord Earl, you **** should all go to hell..."

  Mr. Kestner retorted fiercely and looked very excited.

  Do not erupt in silence, but die in silence.

  Li Fushou watched the two men quarrel with Maimang, and turned his head reluctantly to look at the landscape that was rapidly retreating outside. He didn't actively blend in. Sometimes it was good to be noisy.

  Military expenditure is indeed a headache for people to sell gold caves, let Kestner curse on these soldiers, reminding them that it is a bad thing that the landlord’s family has no surplus food.

Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Recently, he has been tampering with and reorganizing the Leopard Guard and Wolf Guard, hoping to reorganize these two frame divisions into a fully-staffed division. , The reason is that there is food in the hand, which is used to deter the southern states.

  God knows, Li Fushou has no money now.

In 1981, nearly 4 million pounds of net income was intercepted. In addition to the income of more than 1 million to more than 2 million in previous years, the accumulated profits over the years all add up to more than 9 million pounds, which are mainly used in two major aspects of investment. .

One is to establish a strategic reserve in the lofty mountains of Songjiang Town to store a series of materials from guns and ammunition to camps, bristles and tung oil, and saddle harnesses. This is to prepare for the outbreak of internal wars with the southern states and prevent them from being caught off guard. .

  Queensland does not have a real national reserve, and the state finances are unable to spend. This can only be financed by the wealthy Earl of Queensland, and cannot be borrowed from others.

  This part of the expenditure spent about 2.6 million pounds, and gradually established a storage warehouse covering weapons and ammunition, logistics, and various munitions, which can supply an army of 60,000 people for one year.

  Secondly, the so-called people without far-sightedness must have near-worries.

The remaining approximately £6 million is used as a secret investment, protected by a variety of companies, used for the extensive purchase of property assets in the core location of Manhattan, New York, and shops in prime locations in London’s West End, as a case in case of retreat from Australia. Road, used to make a comeback one day.

  Wait until the current situation slows down, this secret investment will continue to increase. This is a secret expenditure that Chen Shiheng, the chief executive of the library, does not know, and the level of confidentiality is extremely high.

  None of these confidential things can be declared. Li Fushou quickly receded while admiring the vast mountains and rivers outside the window, feeling the joy from body to heart. The fierce dispute between the military and the financial officials did not affect his emotions.

  The superior, checks and balances are the kingly way.

  The current era is the last time to carve up the world. If it is missed, it will never happen again. Li Fushou is determined to build a beautiful home for overseas Chinese based in Australia. Of course, he will not miss this opportunity.

  It doesn’t matter whether it spends a huge amount of military expenditure or military force, no matter what the expansion is said, it must go on. Mr. Kestner has the wrong goal. In fact, Li Fushou is the biggest black hand in secretly promoting the expansion.

  It’s just that I have a thin foundation, a weak body, and a small appetite, so I can eat a little bit.

  Anyway, he is eyeing the weakest Dutchman. Even if the final peace agreement is reached, how many years can it be maintained? Is this still a big question mark?

  Is it really difficult to tear up a piece of peace agreement when the strength becomes stronger?

  A similar situation can refer to the Russian-Turkish War. Over the past 100 years, there have been 10 Russo-Turkish wars. The greedy Tsarist Empire caught the fat sheep of the Ottoman Empire desperately scalping its wool and vowed to make it bald.

  The East Indies area has been the area where the Chinese ancestors lived and multiplied since ancient times. It has created a splendid cultural and historical heritage here, which has an unquestionable historical basis, and there is no boasting ingredient at all.

  Why did the Dutch colonists shamelessly occupy this beautiful and rich land?
