The imperial treasury also had no money, which is why Zaifeng didn't rescue Guanghai, it was really because of his will and powerlessness.The financial turmoil in Gwanghae soon spread to the whole country, and even the product sales of the Zhongchuan factory were affected. Fortunately, with a swipe of a pen, Zhao Shouhong ordered all factories to continue to expand, and the excess products were directly stored in the warehouse. Influence development and construction.

With the maintenance of Hanxing Group, Zhongchuan's economy is still stable, but it is not the same in other parts of the country.The formerly prosperous Guanghai City was in ruins, and the surrounding factories went bankrupt.This time, the clean-up was clean. Due to the shortage of funds in various countries, banks have reduced their loan business and demanded loans one after another. As a result, all the surrounding factories are in a desperate situation due to the broken capital chain, even those foreign factories are the same.

Because of Zhao Shouhong's warning, Qin Zhongyi never intervened in the financial market, so at this time he became the person with the most abundant funds in the entire Guanghai City.Taking advantage of the financial crisis, he began to mobilize funds to annex factories in the entire Gwanghae, focusing on various foreign industries, and the first thing he started was the shipbuilding industry.

Xiangsheng Shipyard was founded in the Pudong area in 1862 by Bao Yide, a Salerman. In less than 3 years, 17 ships have been repaired, with a total of more than [-] tons. It is known as "one of the enterprises with the most complete ship repair equipment in the eastern mainland ".

Another large shipyard of the Sarren is the Jesun Shipyard. It was established in 1865. It was originally a White Eagle State enterprise. incrementally, eventually turning it into a Saar sole proprietorship.

After the 70s, the shipyard expanded its scale and improved its equipment to enhance its ability to repair and build ships. In 1892, it was restructured into a joint stock company. In 1900, Yesong Shipyard and Xiangsheng Shipyard were united and reorganized into Yesong Shipyard Company, with the capital increased to 5507 million taels. In 1906, it was renamed Yesson Co., Ltd. and became the largest private shipbuilding company in the eastern mainland.

According to the trend of history, after the decline of the Jiangnan Shipyard, the Yesong Shipyard will monopolize the Hualan ship repairing industry for more than [-] years, becoming one of the largest enterprises in the investment of the Sa'er Kingdom in Hualan Industry.But it is such a big company that is now facing the crisis of bankruptcy.

At this time, the manager Grant was sitting in the office with a sad face, thinking about how to deal with the crisis in the shipyard.In order to earn huge profits, all the funds of the shipyard have been invested in the stock market. It was originally planned to withdraw cash next month to support the operation of the shipyard, but now it is all in vain.

Today, there are still six [-]-ton large freighters lying in the dock of the shipyard, and the construction progress varies from [-]% to [-]%. However, the steel plate materials in his hands can no longer support the construction of any ship.If you want the shipyard to continue to maintain, you must have funds, but where does the money come from?He has gone to several Saarland banks, and the news he got is that the loan is refused. The bank is mobilizing funds for self-insurance, and it is simply unable to issue loans.

Now, not to mention the Bank of Saer, the banks of the White Eagle Kingdom, the Teutonic Kingdom, the Raksha Kingdom, and even the Wa Kingdom are all in jeopardy. Not only their branches in the Eastern Continent, but even their domestic banks are helpless.In the face of this rubber stock crisis that has affected most of the world, no one can save others.

At this moment, a servant suddenly knocked on the door and came in, "Mr. Manager, Mr. Qin Zhongyi is here to visit."

Chapter 328 Buying a Shipyard

"What?" Grant raised his head blankly, the name made his heart tremble.Because Qin Zhongyi is the owner of the six semi-finished products lying in the dock, and the delivery date is just one month away. "Please, Mr. Qin, come in and make tea, Darjeeling black tea."

Qin Zhongyi was dressed in a suit, with a tall top hat on his head, and a shiny civilized stick in his hand. He was completely dressed like a gentleman from the Western Continent. Behind him was Huo Yuanjia in a black suit and black trousers.The two walked into Grant's office, and Qin Zhongyi smiled and said, "Mr. Grant, I'm here to bother you this time."

"Nothing, Mr. Qin, please take a seat. Do you plan to continue to expand orders? Our Yesong Shipyard has a fast shipbuilding speed and a high level of technology. It can definitely meet your requirements, even if it is a [-]-ton giant ship. There is no problem." Although he was upset , but facing the client Grant is still smiling, and his tone is very relaxed.

Qin Zhongyi took off his top hat and sat on the sofa. He smiled at Grant and said, "Of course, we recognize the capabilities of Yesong Shipyard, otherwise I would not abandon my own Jiangnan Shipyard and go to your shipyard to build ships. "Qin Zhongyi's words are true. Jiangnan Shipyard's technical strength is insufficient now, and it is still practicing with more than 5000-ton freighters. An [-]-ton freighter is already too difficult for them.

Hearing Qin Zhongyi's words, Grant's eyes lit up. If the other party can add more orders, he will pay a part of the deposit, so that he has working capital.As long as there is working capital and two ships are built and delivered first, his shipyard will be completely revitalized.

Then Qin Zhongyi's next words were like a heavy hammer, and Grant was dumbfounded. "Nowadays, Guangbang Beach is in turmoil because of the stock issue. I have already said that those things should not be touched. But today I heard the news that Mr. Grant's Jesun Shipyard is also in trouble. Are you so short of funds? Is it impossible to continue building the ship?"

"There is absolutely no such thing." Grant waved his hand and said, "Our Jesun shipyard has strong technical force and sufficient funds, so we can guarantee delivery on time."

"That's good. I'm just a little worried. I came here to ask. Since Mr. Grant guarantees it, I naturally believe it. But the delivery will be delivered in a month. Mr. Grant, don't be late, otherwise the compensation fee will be very high." Qin Zhongyi said with a smile.

Grant's mouth was full of bitterness. The delivery will be in one month. Where can he find money to maintain production? I'm afraid he won't even be able to pay wages in a month.Grant's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked up to Qin Zhongyi with a flattering smile and said, "Boss Qin, can we have a discussion."

"Mr. Grant, please tell me, I will help you if there is anything you need." Qin Zhongyi smiled.

Grant said in a low voice: "Our Jesun Shipyard is targeting regular customers. This year we have a promotion. As long as you settle the final payment one month in advance, we will give you a [-]% discount."

"What?" Qin Zhongyi's expression changed immediately: "Don't tell me that Mr. Grant doesn't intend to act according to the contract and ask us to pay the money first, which is not in accordance with the rules. I, Qin, can help friends in private, but in business, one thing is one thing. Two is two, there must be no ambiguity."

Grant said with a sad face: "To tell the truth, Boss Qin, Yesong Shipyard was also severely damaged in this stock market crash. Now there is no capital turnover, and it is no longer possible to purchase raw materials. If we fail to build the ship on time, you will also suffer losses Well. I wonder if we can do this, please ask Boss Qin to pay one hundred thousand silver dollars, it can be treated as a personal loan from you, and it will be returned after one month, how about the interest at six percent?"

"I'm sorry, I'm just the general manager of our Guangming Group. The group company doesn't have banking business, so I dare not agree to you in private, unless the president agrees." Qin Zhongyi shook his head.

"I see. I would like to ask Mr. Qin to say something kindly." Grant said.

Qin Zhongyi sneered: "As far as I know, Jesson Shipyard still has two loans from Citibank and one loan from Standard Chartered Bank that has not been settled. The total amount is as high as 15 Saar pounds. Now the banks are recalling the loans, only for you One hundred thousand silver dollars probably won't help. If our group lends you a loan, but you run away with the money, wouldn't we have lost both property and property?"

"This..." Grant was dumbfounded by Qin Zhongyi's words. He didn't expect Qin Zhongyi to be so clear about his financial situation that he would open his mouth to reveal the amount of his loan.

Grant's cold sweat broke out suddenly, his eyes were a little straightened and his body trembled slightly. He knew that his shipyard might go bankrupt.At the beginning, he traded stocks in order to repay the loan as soon as possible, but now he can no longer plug this financial loophole.

Looking at Grant who was about to have a nervous breakdown, Qin Zhongyi slowed down his tone and said, "Actually, I have a good idea about Mr. Grant's predicament."

"What a good idea?" Grant's eyes lighted up slightly. Now that he has nowhere to go, if he can bring the shipyard back to life, he is naturally willing to agree to any conditions.

"I bought your shipyard, how about I bear all the loans?" Qin Zhongyi looked at Grant with a smile, and the latter's expression changed at that moment.

"It's impossible. How can I sell the shipyard to you? It's absolutely impossible." Grant waved his arms and growled. This is his hard work for many years, and he must never give up like this.

Qin Zhongyi didn't say a word. He sat on the sofa and waited for the other party to vent his emotions before saying: "Mr. Grant must think clearly. Given the current situation of the Yesong Shipyard, I am afraid that it will declare bankruptcy in a month. By then I can directly take over the bankrupt property, and I can also write off the bank loan, and the price will be even lower at that time. I hope that buying your shipyard will also allow you to return home in glory.”

Qin Zhongyi's words made Grant silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew what the other party said was true.Since the major banks do not issue loans, he has no funds to revitalize the business, not to mention the few loans that make him breathless.If he does not sell the shipyard, he will only go bankrupt.

Grant made up his mind and raised his head and said, "If Boss Qin wants to buy my shipyard, I want to know the price, and how do you plan to arrange the engineers and workers under me."

Qin Zhongyi smiled and said: "I know that the shipyard has more than 500 million taels of silver according to the previous registered capital, so how about I buy your shipyard at the price of 500 million taels of silver and convert it into Japanese dollars? As for the engineers and workers under your command, I will take care of all of them." Accept, the salary is a lot, what do you think, Mr. Grant?"

It took Grant a long time to react. He didn't understand why the other party gave him such a favorable condition, and he simply let himself take away all the funds without any loss.Grant frowned slightly and said, "I am very grateful for Boss Qin's benevolence, but I don't understand why it should be converted into Japanese yuan?"

Chapter 329 Scattering Japanese Yuan

Qin Zhongyi straightened his shoulders and said: "This is also a helpless move. Recently, I have received a few big deals from the Japanese country, and I have too many Japanese coins in my hand. Now that Guanghai City's finances are chaotic, it is difficult to exchange foreign exchange for a while, so I also I had to pay the bill with Japanese yuan."

Grant suddenly realized, he nodded and said: "I am very grateful for your generosity. Boss Qin is my true friend. If you have anything to do in Saarland in the future, I will do my best to help you. I can sell the Yesong Shipyard to Boss Qin. We You can go through the transfer procedures tomorrow."

Qin Zhongyi nodded: "Then let's do it tomorrow. I want to collect funds. After all, so much money is not a small amount." Qin Zhongyi led Huo Yuanjia out of the Yesong shipyard with a high toe, while Grant kept sending him away with a smile. Outside the door, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Brother Qin, I don't understand something." Huo Yuanjia who had been silent in the shipyard asked at this time.

Qin Zhongyi put on his top hat with a smile and said, "Brother Huo is also one of us, so if you have anything to say, just tell me, and I will answer it myself."

Huo Yuanjia said: "It is indeed good to buy the shipyard of the Saar people, but it seems that we have given too much money, and why do we have to give it to the Japanese?" Buy it with Japanese dollars.

Qin Zhongyi smiled slightly and said: "This is actually what the boss meant. He wanted me to redeem the shipyard in full, and mobilized a large amount of Japanese dollars for me as funds. I'm afraid I have to ask the boss for the reason. But as far as I know, this The second time is under the full control of the second wife, and the plan is not small. It seems that our Guangming Group will be greatly expanded, let's go to the next place."

These days, Qin Zhongyi has almost become a money-scattering boy. He brandished a large amount of Japanese coins in his hands and bought foreign-funded factories on a large scale. Soon, more than [-]% of the foreign-funded factories in Guanghai City were completely bought by him due to the shortage of funds.Qin Zhongyi then ordered many of these factories to relocate to the Pudong area, and established a large industrial zone not weaker than Luchaogang.

Qin Zhongyi's wealth and wealth attracted the attention of Guanghai Chinese businessmen, and they began to solicit connections through the back door, hoping to transfer some funds from Guangming Group through arranging friendship, so that their businesses can survive.But there are also some people who think that Qin Zhongyi is taking advantage of others' danger and wants to take the opportunity to buy other people's factories to make a fortune, and Zhang Jian is one of them.

Zhang Jian's ancestral home was Changshu, Jiangbei, and he was a well-known top businessman in the late Jin Dynasty.Zhang Jian once defected to Sun Yunjin, the magistrate of Tongzhou, and later joined the Qing army as Wu Changqing's staff and clerk, and Yuan Kai who later defected became his two major civil and military staff.

In the 20th year of Guangran, Zhang Jian participated in the Enke Examination specially set up for the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager, and won the first prize, and was awarded the Imperial Academy's compilation.When he was an official in the court, Zhang Jian witnessed the invasion of foreign powers and the country's ups and downs. He resolutely abandoned his official position and embarked on the road of saving the country through industry.

After the defeat of the Jin Dynasty after the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-20400, Zhang Jian began to prepare for the Dasheng Spinning Factory in the wave of self-help by setting up factories across the country, and began to purchase land and build the factory the following year. In 25, through Liu Kunyi, Zhang Jian took back [-] unused yarn machines from the Central Plains Official Yarn Bureau in Guanghai City, and paid [-] taels of silver as official shares, and agreed to "collect interest on an annual basis, regardless of profit or loss."

In the spring of the following year, the spinning mill started production, and the factory was located in Tongzhou, Jiangnan Province.The factory is surrounded by cotton-producing areas, where raw materials are cheap and wages for workers are low, and various taxes are relatively light.The well-developed indigenous weaving industry in the local area provides a large market for cotton yarn. Therefore, once the spinning mill starts operation, it runs smoothly and enjoys high profits.The factory was later called Dasheng No. [-] Factory. Due to its huge profits, Zhang Jian built a branch factory in Qidong in [-], which was later called Dasheng No. [-] Factory.

While developing the textile industry, Zhang Jian correspondingly set up other factories in Nantong, carried out urban construction, and developed transportation, trade, finance and other undertakings.He also raised funds to form a reclamation company to reclaim the coastal areas in northern Jiangbei Province to promote cotton planting. This reclamation area later became an important cotton-producing area in Hualan State.

At the same time, Zhang Jian also established a whole set of educational undertakings in Nantong, including Tongzhou Normal School, one of the earliest normal schools in Hualan Kingdom, Nantong Museum, the first museum run by Hualan himself, and textile, agricultural, medical Colleges, middle schools, primary schools, up to the Institute of Women's Reds, Linggong Academy, School for the Blind, etc., as well as various cultural facilities and social welfare organizations.

The Dasheng Cotton Mill was the center of all these undertakings, and the profits from the factory became the main source of funds for education and public welfare undertakings, which played an important role in the development of Hualan State at that time.This straight-tempered and patriotic champion is also in an economic crisis at this time.

Due to the rapid expansion of his factory, he borrowed 100 million taels of silver from Citibank, the White Eagle Country.However, due to the economic turmoil in the stock market this time, many banks that had originally participated in the bank closed down one after another, and the shareholders also began to withdraw their capital. This forced him to use the funds originally planned to expand production to fill these loopholes.Now that the loan period is approaching, he simply cannot raise so much money to repay it.Seeing that the bank loan was overdue and the factory was about to be taken away as collateral, Zhang Jian was naturally very anxious.

Unlike other businessmen who wanted to get working capital from Guangming Group, he didn't want his property to be swallowed up by others, so he never went to find Qin Zhongyi, but he didn't expect Qin Zhongyi to visit him in person.Since he had already arrived, Zhang Jian naturally couldn't see him, so he had to ask his servants to bring Qin Zhongyi to the living room.

"Boss Zhang, stay safe, Mr. Qin is polite." Qin Zhongyi had already changed into a traditional robe and mandarin jacket at this time, and his voice was still soft, but no one in Guanghai City today dared to underestimate this handsome man. Qin Erye.

Zhang Jian hurriedly got up to greet him: "Second Master Qin is here to visit, I'm not far away from welcoming you, please sit down quickly. Come, let's have some tea."
