New Warlords 1909

"What are you thinking? It seems that I can't keep my privacy!" Heman thought about it, sighed, and said helplessly, "I really don't know why I made such a stupid act on the spur of the moment. In fact, my father opened a small bank in Pennsylvania. Of course, his bank did not have such a huge capital to provide loans! But in the banking industry, I know quite a few peers. In addition, many of my classmates and My friends are all people in the financial industry. After some contacts, with my father's good reputation and my beauty, I applied for a loan of [-] million US dollars! As for the blocking, it is their additional condition

Because I have to explain what the loan of [-] million US dollars is used for!

"As for the blockade, it is not to stop, but to change the method. Instead of carrying out a destructive blockade, we aim at the backyards of the big capitalists who blocked Shanghai this time, and let their backyards catch fire. In this way, I will not return empty-handed. Although the harvest may be less, it can still stop their mouths!"

"Small bank? Finance? Reputation?" Although Hua Fei still had many doubts in his heart, he couldn't imagine what Herman and the American bankers behind him would have in mind for him!

"If I fail, I mean, if I can't repay the interest and principal after half a year, what should you do? Are you so detailed about me?" Hua Fei directly pointed out the topic.

Heman looked up at Hua Fei, then avoided Hua Fei's gaze, then looked back, smiled unnaturally, and said with wandering eyes, "I believe in you, I believe that in this land of China, there is no one This force can crush Commander Hua! But they did take this risk into consideration. In the contract, it will be stated that if the deadline is up, you... If you can't pay off the principal and interest, you will have to use Pacific Bank and Galaxy Invest in the company to pay off the debt!"

boom!Hua Fei only felt his ears ringing, and it was really useless to get up early, he had a plan in mind!Pacific Bank and Galaxy Investment are his brainchild, and even his biggest capital.The total asset value of the Pacific Bank alone may have exceeded [-] million yuan. These American bankers really have a big appetite!Or, could this be a trap?

Hua Fei stared closely at Heman, trying to see something from her eyes.Herman seemed very embarrassed, especially seeing Hua Fei's ugly face, she seemed even more embarrassed.She raised her head, looked directly into Hua Fei's eyes, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I know, their request is a little too much. Otherwise, I'll go back to China myself, and I believe my father will help!"

Hua Fei's heart slowly calmed down. Although he dared not say that he was extremely accurate in seeing people, Heman was obviously showing his temperament completely at this time.If this is even a trap, I believe Herman definitely doesn't know about it.This made Hua Fei feel better. Thinking of the hard work Heman must have put in to win the [-] million US dollars, he couldn't help being moved.

In this world, there will never be a free lunch!If you want to win, you must pay the benefits and the price!Along with huge risks, there are also huge benefits.

Hua Fei held Herman's delicate little hand, and said in a harmonious voice, "Miss Herman, please forgive me for my previous rudeness, no matter what, I should thank you sincerely. You don't need to go back to your country, you can telegraph my words back , I can use Galaxy Investment as collateral. The original capital of Galaxy Investment is about 5000 yuan, and it has invested in many factories and merchants in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. Among them, Yongxin, Xianshi, Yongan, Xinxin, and Daxin Department Stores in Shanghai The company has Yinhe's investment shares, and now they are already among the top five department stores in Shanghai, and even the department stores of foreign merchants are a bit inferior!"

"My preliminary estimate is that the total value of fixed assets and equity held by Galaxy Investment alone has exceeded the scale of [-] million Singapore dollars, which can be used as collateral for this loan! If the banker in your country refuses, neither will I. Opinion! I can give Miss Herman a news clue. We are already negotiating loan matters with Germany, France, Japan and other countries, and I believe a decision will be made soon! However, I hope Miss Herman will not publish this news. Get out, that would be too bad for me!"

Unless it is a last resort, Hua Fei is really unwilling to mortgage the Galaxy investment.Even during the meeting, someone proposed to sell part of the equity, but it was rejected by Hua Fei.The existence of Galaxy Investment has strategic significance.He is not only the driving force to promote the accelerated development of industrial and commercial enterprises in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but also an important layout for Hua Fei to strengthen his influence among businessmen, and then obtain more violence from the war.

Most of Huafei's shares are some light industries such as spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing, flour, sugar, oil, cigarettes, etc. There are also some industrial and mining enterprises, and a few small private iron and steel machinery cement repair enterprises are the focus of Huafei's support and support.As for industries such as pharmaceutical shipping, telephone and telegraph bureaus, they entered in a small amount.First, except for shipping, other markets are limited in scale, and second, Huafei has plans to operate its own business in the future.

As for the retail department store industry, since the Pacific Bank first tried to issue banknotes, Hua Fei has invested in or controlled many department stores in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, and integrated several small department stores under its holdings to form the Yongxin Department Store Group, which operates a chain supermarket. model.The department store industry is also the only industry that Huafei has controlled so far. Firstly, it is to obtain profits, and secondly, it is also to promote the use of new currency.The retail industry is undoubtedly the most convenient way for the promotion of SGD among the people.

Therefore, after several years of development, although the total assets of Galaxy this year have not been accurately counted, it is definitely more than [-] million Singapore dollars.

As a reporter, although Heman knew the huge influence of Yinhe Investment in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, he did not expect that his total asset value would be [-] million silver dollars.

In that case, how much assets should the Pacific Bank have? You must know that most of the original capital of the galaxy is loaned from the Pacific Bank!

"No problem, I will send a telegram to the country immediately after I go back! With my guarantee, I believe that within three days, the first loan will be remitted through Citibank. However, due to the huge amount of the total amount, part of the funds will be transferred through a combination of gold, silver and US dollars. By sea, it can be delivered as soon as possible, and it can be delivered within ten days at the earliest.”

Hua Fei has many secrets that Heman doesn't know, and the same Heman seems to be very mysterious and obscure.However, this did not hinder mutual trust in the slightest. The two were like old friends for many years. It seemed that these hundreds of millions of dollars of funds were like a numbers game, and there was not much heaviness and pressure at all.

What is the purpose and motivation of everything, will soon be known!six months?No, it must not take six months. What Hua Fei lacks most now is time!Once the funds are in place, Hua Fei hopes to resolve all the battles within three months!

Leaving Huizhong Hotel, sending Herman back to his residence, and returning to Jiangnan Factory, Hua Fei immediately sent a confidential message to Huang Yan in the United States, asking him to investigate a banker named Herman in Pennsylvania and his family background. Call attention and don't delve into other matters either.

Just after sending the telegram, Wang Meng came to report that Zhang Nanxun, who was in Wuhu, rushed to Shanghai without a word, and had been waiting in the factory for a long time.Zhang Nanxun?What is he here for?

150 Secret Agreement

In the courtyard of a dilapidated private house in the South District of Shanghai, Ali, a rickshaw driver, had just stepped back into the courtyard at 7, when he heard Ah Fu, who was working as a coolie in the same courtyard, shout, "Ali, why are you dawdling, hurry up, Hurry up and get the cheap rice, it’s too late, and it will be gone after being picked up, remember to bring your household registration certificate.”

Cheap rice?Ali was taken aback, and quickly shouted, "Hey, Ah Fu, what's going on? Where can I get cheap rice? How much is it?"

"The newly opened Kangmin Food Store is just next to the county government office. It is said that a dozen new Kangmin Food Stores have opened overnight in Shanghai. Rice only sells for 6 yuan and 5 cents per stone. Hurry up!" Ah Fu He was looking for rice bags everywhere, and said quickly while looking.

"What? It's only 6 yuan, 5~10 yuan!" Ali was startled, he didn't even care about the car, and ran over to grab Ah Fu and asked. "If the price of rice is really only 65~ store, and you can earn more than three yuan for one stone, wouldn't you make a fortune?"

"Ali, why am I bluffing you!" Ah Fu found the rice bag but was entangled by Ali, you can see that he stomped his feet anxiously, "Let me go, I heard that the Kangmin food store was run by Hua Siling Oh! By the way, the food bank only accepts new currency, not even silver dollars! And you need to bring your household registration certificate, and each person can only buy a maximum of two catties of rice per day."

"Singapore currency? Household registration certificate? How can I have a damn household registration certificate!" Ali stomped his feet anxiously.

"I didn't and I didn't!" Ah Fu seemed to have expected it long ago, and said quickly, "Go to the temporary household registration office set up by the police station to register, and then you can get a temporary certificate. As for the new currency, it's easy, Shanghai Bank of Pacific and many department stores can exchange. Some small stores can exchange, but the price is more expensive."

As he talked, Ah Fu showed the household registration certificate he had just received. He, who can't read big characters, talked about these special terms in a clear and smooth manner. I believe he must have heard it more than once.

Ali quickly left Ah Fu behind, and ran back to his room, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, "Mom, can you still get up? Quickly find the silver coins at home, and I'll ask you to do...do the proof !"

"Ali, mother has been waiting for you for a long time. I have asked Afu to change the three oceans and copper coins at home into new currency for me. That child, Afu, is also a good person. You must remember his love. !"

Unexpectedly, Ali's mother was sitting neatly by the bed, looking at Ali and muttering.

Ali's eyes turned red.Without saying anything, he ran over and carried the old lady into the rickshaw.Run to the police station.What kind of proof do you need?They escaped rent from other places and fled to Shanghai in the middle of the year.My old lady was hit by a tin truck while picking up trash on the street.I've been lying in bed ever since.Difficulty walking.Close to do some needlework.Earn a few coins.

The two live mainly by Alila rickshaw.Earn three or four oceans a month.Make ends meet.Originally, each stone of rice was six or seven yuan.Ali and the others worked hard for a month.live frugally.Can barely survive.But these days I don't know what's going on.The price of rice followed like a fire.Jumping up and down.It rose from 6 yuan to 10 yuan in less than a month.

Although there seem to be more rich people in Shanghai these days.Earn a few more points every day.But Ali's brows never relaxed.Because the price of rice is really...Just when Ali came back hungry.I heard that the price of rice from Kangmin Food Company is only [-] SGD.You said how he was not excited.Immediately withdraw all the deposits at home.Plan to switch it all to rice.

There were crowds on the road.Countless poor people hold bags of rice.Carrying the burden.The topic everyone is talking about is undoubtedly rice.Kangmin Food Line.The most mentioned names.Of course it is Commander Hua.

Come to the police station.This was the place Ali least wanted to come to in the past.Because of these big guys.Usually all for nothing.But since Commander Hua entered Shanghai.There are fewer and fewer such things.I remember that more than a month ago, a patrolman refused to pay for his car.He also scolded the coachman.He was stared at by the plainclothes and honest government passing by.The patrolman detained him on the spot and took him away.And took out a piece of ocean from his pocket.No change yet.The child was so happy that he couldn't sleep for several days.

Although the police station is crowded with people outside.But orderly.There was no noise at all.A long strip outside the police station is filled with more than 20 desks. More than 20 long queues lined up for registration.Near the venue.Teams of soldiers of the new army stood on patrol with guns on guard.See this scene.Ali also parked the car on the side of the road.Help the old lady to line up.

At this time, a group of soldiers from the new army passed by on patrol, and the leading soldier saw Ali and walked over quickly.Just when Ali was overwhelmed with shock, the little soldier helped to support Ali's mother, and said as he walked, "Mother, you are not in good health, so don't wait in line. I will lead you to apply for a permit!"

Ali Niang has lived for 50 to [-] years, and she has never seen soldiers carrying guns treat others so politely.The old man's eyes turned red immediately, and he said in shock, "Jun...Mr. Jun, no, I don't dare, I...my son and I still have to wait...we can't delay Mr. Jun's errands!"

"It's okay, hey, what are you doing standing there, help your mother go!" The young soldier looked at Ali and shouted.

"Ah... oh, thank you, thank you sir, thank you!"

Although Ali helped his mother jump to the front of the queue, no one talked too much along the way.On the contrary, many people looked at these soldiers with guns more kindly and softly.Seeing the panicked appearance of Ali and his mother, he couldn't help laughing out loud.Such a scene has been encountered countless times in the process of queuing.

There are police officers and soldiers in black and blue uniforms who handle the documents.What Ali will never forget for a long time is the soft tone of these people and the smiles they show from time to time, although the smiles of the policemen sometimes seem so difficult.

When he came to the nearest food store, the panic-buying scene that Ali imagined did not appear, and the order was also very orderly.The gate of the rice store's granary is fully open, and the rice inside is piled up like a mountain. It seems that there is no worry of selling out.A closer look shows that almost all the citizens who buy rice are civilians or even poor people.As for those rich people, who would come here and run around for the sake of the cheapness of the limited two catties of rice per person, and lose this portion.

It wasn't until he put the rice bag on the rickshaw and tied it up that Ali realized that this was not a dream.Along the way, listening to my mother and these military masters being good people, and Commander Hua being a good officer, Ali smiled and said, "Mom, I'm afraid we will be hungry for a few more days!"

"Ah? Ali, now that we have bought such good, low-priced rice that doesn't leak sand, why are you still hungry? I think you're starving. Go back tonight and let's have a meal of rice!" Ali Mother seemed to have never been so happy before, she gritted her teeth and said harshly.

"Mother!" Ali swallowed his saliva and said, "Mother, we have 2 rice every day, let's save some to eat, save a catty and sell it to other rice shops, and we can turn around and make a lot of money!"

"Ali... is this okay? It seems...Ali, we can't do wicked things. Hua Siling sold us rice at a low price, and we can't do it again.

, Didn't he make money with no intentions, no, no way! "

Ali was extremely filial, and he had no choice but to say, "Okay, mother, I'll listen to you, let's eat rice tonight!"

"Ali, now that we have been favored by Commander Hua, we have to find a way to repay him! It's a pity that we don't have anything. Mother will not be able to repay this favor in this lifetime!"

Ali was silent, but he couldn't stop thinking about what his old lady said.On the second day, as soon as Ali arrived at the waiting point, he discussed with his partners.Soon, countless rickshaw drivers whispered to each other on the road, then nodded to each other, and rushed to their source of customers.

At the Wu Wharf, a tall mink-skinned woman just got off the passenger ship, got into a rickshaw, and said in a coquettish voice, "Let's go, Xinyuan Hotel in the French Concession!"

"Ma'am, I have something to tell you first, we only accept Singapore dollars!"

"New coins? What new coins? Don't worry, I have silver coins!"

"Sorry ma'am, we don't accept cashiers!"
