super god warlord

Qin Zhongyi quickly thanked him and sat down on the chair. Zhang Jian sat down on his seat with a smile. He looked up and saw Huo Yuanjia behind Qin Zhongyi, and immediately asked, "I don't know the name of this strong man Gao, how should he be called?"

Qin Zhongyi said: "Guanghai City is not peaceful now, so Huo Yuanjia, the chief coach of my Guangming Group, has been following me recently to protect Qin's safety."

"Could it be the hero Huo who defeated Opiyin, the strong man of the White Eagle Kingdom?" Huo Yuanjia's fight back then was famous in Guanghai City, and Qin Erye's help was also a sensation, so Zhang Jian naturally knew .

"It's right here." Huo Yuanjia clasped his fists and said.

"Showing up our country's prestige, Zhang Jian really admires it, Huo Daxia, please take a seat." Zhang Jian hurriedly gave Huo Yuanjia his seat.

3 Chapter Thirty Zhang Jian's Transformation

Both parties had already sat down, Zhang Jian asked: "I don't know what's the matter with Second Master Qin condescending to his humble home?"

Qin Zhongyi opened the fan and slapped it twice with a smile: "I heard that Boss Zhang's factory has some financial problems, so I came here to ask if I need help."

As soon as Qin Zhongyi said this, Zhang Jian's face suddenly turned cold: "I heard that Qin Erye bought the Jesong Shipyard from the Sar people a few days ago. It really is a big deal. Foreigners these days Your factory has been bought by you a lot, it seems that this Guangming Group company will expand a lot. Could it be that my small family and business, Qin Erye also likes it?"

Zhang Jian's words were hidden in the needle, obviously satirizing the other party's desire to occupy his property, but Qin Zhongyi was not angry at all.His words were still so soft, as if he would never get angry: "Boss Zhang misunderstood, the reason why I annexed those factories of foreigners is because they wantonly searched for the people's fat and anointing in our country, can't I do justice for the heavens?" , Take these factories back to the Chinese people? Brother Ji Zhi can go and find out, I, Qin, bought all foreign factories, when did I ask my family's idea?"

When Qin Zhongyi said this, Zhang Jian's heart skipped a beat.He thought about it carefully, Qin Zhongyi did not merge any Hualan company.Seeing that Zhang Jian was a little dazed, Qin Zhongyi continued: "I respect Boss Zhang's patriotic zeal. He spared no expense to build factories and build a strong country through industry. I also respect Boss Zhang. There are few schools, so I came here today to help."

Hearing these righteous words, Zhang Jian regretted a little. He knew that he might have wrongly blamed Qin Zhongyi, but Zhang Jian still couldn't believe it.Businessmen value profits, and at times like their own suffering, it is a good time for the other party to seek benefits, so how could the other party let it go lightly.

Seeing that Zhang Jian was still puzzled, Qin Zhongyi smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, my boss, Mr. Zhao Shouhong, also insists on saving the country through industry, and he and Boss Zhang are like-minded people."

"Zhao Shouhong?" Zhang Jian nodded. When Yuan Kui wrote to him, he mentioned this Zhao Shouhong. At that time, Yuan Kui praised Zhao Shouhong as a young hero with patriotism and skills. people.Zhang Jian still admires Yuan Wei's vision, since he said so, he really has to think about it.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Jian suddenly raised his head: "Thank you, Second Master Qin, for your kindness. I wonder how you can help me?"

Qin Zhongyi smiled and said, "I plan to repay the loan for Boss Zhang, and I will lend you another 200 million Japanese dollars as operating funds."

"This won't work, how can I accept Qin Erye's kindness." Zhang Jian shook his head, the amount of money was too big, he didn't dare to accept it.Although there is Yuan Wei's sponsor, but people's hearts are far away, who knows what Zhao Shouhong is thinking in his heart.In case he gave himself the money first and then asked himself to pay it back later, if the money was not paid, wouldn't he have to use the factory to pay off the debt.

As if knowing what Zhang Jian was thinking, Qin Zhongyi said: "Boss Zhang, please be patient and don't be impatient. The money is not given to you for nothing. Boss Zhao is willing to support the Chinese business industry. Naturally, there are some discounts, but he is not a good fortune boy who randomly distributes money. I want to share with you Boss Zhang signed an agreement, the loan from Citibank, my Boss Zhao will give you an interest-free loan, and it will be repaid within five years. This working capital, the interest is one percent, and the term is up to you. "

"This..." Zhang Jian really believed it. Since the agreement had to be signed, it meant that he didn't intend to play tricks.

"Second Master Qin bows down with great kindness, and please pay my respects to Mr. Zhao when we go back." Zhang Jian said excitedly, cupping his hands.With this money, his factory can be revived again.

"I have another merciless request." Qin Zhongyi said again.

"Please speak." Now Zhang Jian is in a very good mood, so naturally he can say anything.

Qin Zhongyi said: "My family has always taken the support of Hualan man-made business as its own responsibility, and has always spared no effort in this. This time I plan to use Boss Zhang's reputation, and please come forward in person to entertain the Hualan merchants in Quanguang Haicheng for me. I also invited the old Mr. Yu Qiaqing, and we gathered together to discuss future business and help everyone get out of trouble."

"Oh? It's really admirable that Second Master Qin has such a heart. I will definitely do my best to make this happen." Zhang Jian agreed without hesitation.Seeing that the matter had been completed, Qin Zhongyi left immediately and took Huo Yuanjia away.

Looking at the backs of Qin and Huo, Zhang Jian sighed and said: "What a mind to embrace the world, what a means of strategizing. From now on, the world will belong to this boy Zhao Shouhong, and he will be the second Li Hongzhang of the Houjin Empire. "It's a pity that Zhang Jian didn't expect that Zhao Shouhong would have to go further than Li Hongzhang.

Just when the entire business community in Guanghai City was in turmoil, Qin Zhongyi began to actively stabilize the financial situation in Guanghai. He feasted on many Chinese businessmen in Guanghai, issued a large number of low-interest Japanese dollar loans in the name of Guangming Group Company, and relieved the debts of various factories. Urgent.

For those banks that owed debts to foreign banks, Qin Zhongyi, after discussing with the bosses, decided to merge all the banks to form Guanghai Commercial Bank.All the debts of the banks are repaid by the Guangming Group. As the shares held by the Guangming Group in the bank, of course it is repaid by the Japanese Yuan.

Soon Guanghai's market stabilized, and even the national economy improved, but this did not save the imperial capital.The dignitaries and dignitaries of the imperial capital almost lost all their money in this stock market crash. Even Zhou Xuexi, known as the God of Wealth, almost went bankrupt. No one cares about the losses of these people.What was even more frightening was the emptiness of the government treasury. Although the Du branch moved here and there to make up the part of the Gengzi indemnity, the money needed in the future was gone, so the court had to default on the officials' salaries.

Officials suffered heavy losses in the stock market, and now they don't even have their salaries. The ministers of the Hualan clan are still a bit reserved, but those dudes of the post-Jin clan are unambiguous.They went to the Prince Regent's Mansion every day to make trouble, which made Zaifeng very troubled, and finally he had to escape to the palace to discuss with Queen Mother Longyu.

What can the two young men who have never seen the world do well? Zaifeng and the Empress Dowager Longyu discussed for a long time, but they still only had two words to increase the tax.However, domestic taxes are already very heavy. If taxes are increased, the people will be more likely to be instigated by the revolutionary party and cause more riots.In order to maintain the situation and appease the hearts of the people in the country, the decision of the two is to immediately form a cabinet and declare a constitutional monarchy.

Since it was decided to establish a constitution, this matter must be done quickly, and a cabinet government dubbed the "royal cabinet" by later generations was established a few days later.

Chapter 331 Zaifeng's Bad Idea

In the new cabinet, Prince Qing Yikuang served as the Prime Minister, and the Assistant Cabinet Ministers were Yu Lang, the Cabinet Assistant Minister Xu Haichang, the Foreign Affairs Minister Liang Dunyan, the Civil Affairs Minister Shanqi, the Duzhi Minister Zaize, the Academic Affairs Minister Tang Jingchong, and the Army Minister Yin Chang. , Minister of the Navy Zaixun, Minister of Justice Shaochang, Minister of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce Pu Lun, Minister of Posts Sheng Xingsun, and Minister of Lifan Shouqi.Among the thirteen ministers of state, there are only four from the Hualan clan, nine from the Houjin clan, and as many as five from the Houjin royal clan. It's no wonder that this cabinet was given such a nickname.

Zaifeng's original measures to stabilize people's hearts had the opposite effect.The establishment of this royal cabinet allowed those who were superstitious about the constitutional monarchy to see the true colors of the Hou Jin government, thus pushing many centrists to the side of the revolutionary party.It can be said that the royal cabinet became one of the fuses for the collapse of the Later Jin Dynasty.

In any case, at least there are many more people who can discuss it now. In order to solve the current economic crisis, Zaifeng and Empress Dowager Longyu also participated in the first cabinet meeting.Zaifeng put forward a tax increase proposal at the meeting, but was immediately opposed by Pu Lun: "The minister thought that tax increase was absolutely unacceptable. Since Gengzi's indemnity, the court has raised taxes several times, and the people are miserable. If you continue to Raising taxes can easily lead to civil unrest."

"The minister seconded the proposal. Once there are frequent civil upheavals, I am afraid that the cost of using troops will be much higher than increasing taxes." Tang Jingchong, the minister of academic affairs, also disagreed.

"My minister agrees."

"The minister seconded the proposal." As soon as Zaifeng's words came out, ten of the thirteen cabinet members expressed their opposition.

"If there is no tax increase, the national treasury will be empty, how will it be maintained?" Zaifeng spread his hands.

"To report to the Regent, I have a way." Sheng Xingsun, the Minister of Posts and Communications who had been silent all this time, suddenly came out of the shift and said.

"Oh? Mr. Sheng has a clever plan? Tell me quickly." Zaifeng's eyes lit up. Sheng Xingsun's reputation as an official and businessman is not for nothing. Since he has a plan, it is naturally feasible.

Sheng Xingsun sorted out his train of thought and said, "Foreigners like to fight for road rights. Now the imperial court has the Dizhang Railway and the Luhan Railway. In addition, the Lanyi Railway built by Mr. Zhao for the country is about to be completed. These can be mortgaged to foreign banks. A loan can always solve an emergency."

When Sheng Xingsun said this, everyone gasped.Yin Changzaixun, who is well versed in the military, and others are very clear that these railways are related to the country's strategic security. Once they are mortgaged to foreigners, they may not be able to get them back even if they pay back the money.In this way, the lifeblood of the country is manipulated by foreign countries, and the Houjin Kingdom will be considered dead. Both of them want to stop it, but they dare not speak out because there is no good solution to the current predicament.

In fact, Sheng Xingsun also had good intentions. As a businessman, he didn't understand military issues, and he didn't know that these railways were the lifeblood of the country.He simply thought that he could use the mortgage to solve his current predicament.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Xingsun's words made Zaifeng's eyes light up, and he slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, Mr. Sheng really has a good plan. Let's just mortgage the loan."

"Your Majesty Regent, this is absolutely impossible. These railways connect the country's borders with the interior, and they are real national defense railways. Once these railways are controlled by foreign countries, it may endanger the safety of the country." Yin Chang also studied military affairs in the Teutonic Kingdom. He knows it all too well.Seeing Zaifeng moved now, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Yes, these railways must never be mortgaged. I am afraid that even if we repay the loans, those foreigners will refuse to exchange them with various excuses. Our loss is too great." The Minister of the Navy Zaixun also objected.

Zaifeng was dumbfounded at this moment. Naturally, he didn't dare to make a move on the railway that affected the safety of the country, but where did the money come from right now.Zaifeng rolled his eyes and said immediately: "By the way, we still have the Sichuan-Han Railway and the Guangdong-Han Railway that can be mortgaged. These two railways are in the interior and are not connected to the border. They will not threaten the country."

"Your Majesty the Regent, you must not." Sheng Xingsun was startled, and he immediately came out to stop him: "These two railways were built with private funds, and the Sichuan-Han Railway has been completed for the most part. If the imperial court insists on taking it back, there may be civil disobedience." change." Sheng Xingsun knew that Zhao Shouhong had shares in the Sichuan-Han Railway.Because of Zhang Xiaoda's relationship, Sheng Xingsun had a good relationship with Zhao Shouhong, and he didn't want to damage Zhao Shouhong's interests because of his own ideas.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, what do you think we should do?" Zaifeng was a little angry, he was really driven by lack of money.

"This..." Many ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one dared to speak up.

"That's it." Zaifeng finally made a final decision: "The so-called all over the world is the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's subjects. The things of the common people belong to the emperor. Does the emperor want to take it back? How dare they have any objections?" , Immediately plan to take back the railway. Liang Dunyan is in charge of contacting foreign banks to try to get more loans.”

The cabinet ministers never expected that Zaifeng would come up with such an unreasonable reason.The decision to allow the Later Jin court to truly sever itself from the world was decided by Zaifeng in this way.When the helpless Liang Dunyan contacted the foreign bank and planned to sell the private right of way, a mysterious Japanese guest was ushered in the head office of Kamiyokohama Specie Bank.

The Yokohama Specie Bank of Japan was the most important specialized foreign exchange bank in the early days of the country. It was established in [-] with its head office in Yokohama, and its main business was foreign exchange and discounting.Zhengjin Bank established a branch in Gwanghae in [-], and then successively set up branches in various parts of Hualan, becoming an important financial institution for the Japanese country's economic aggression against Hualan.

In later generations, it relied on its privileges to issue Japanese banknotes in Hualanmingbei, and actively participated in the export of capital to China.Before and after the First World War, it expanded its influence to the Qilu territory. During the Japanese invasion of China, it cooperated with the Japanese invading army to control the finance of the occupied areas, destroyed the Hualan national industry and financial industry, and supported the industrial and mining enterprises and pseudo-organizations controlled by the Japanese army. The bank became an accomplice to the Japanese army's aggression.

Such a bank with so many bad records, Zhao Shouhong naturally regarded it as a thorn in his side, and wanted to get rid of it quickly.Now that Zhengjin Bank is short of funds, of course he must seize this opportunity.

The Japanese businessman who came to Zhengjin Bank is called Yamada Shigeru, and he is a businessman who has gained fame in the Japanese country in the past two years.He originally started in the shipping industry, and later entered the heavy industry. Not long ago, he merged the Yawata Iron and Steel Works, the largest in Japan, and established a new Yamada consortium.

In fact, Yamada Shigeru is not from the Wa country, to be exact, he is not human at all.When Shen Ruoxue established the intelligence organization, in order to be able to infiltrate into the Japanese country, she transformed several biochemical humanoid skin grafts, disguised as Japanese people and entered the Japanese pirate islands.

Chapter 332 Huge Savings

With all kinds of forged and complete documents, they were able to quickly integrate into the local society. With Shen Ruoxue's financial support, they could of course rise quickly and become a big force in the country of Wa.
