Beiyang reactionaries

Once the sugar industry in Sichuan can rise, the sugar industry can definitely become a pillar industry in Sichuan, and it will bring amazing returns to Sichuan's finances every year.Similarly, if a modern sugar-making enterprise is established in Sichuan, it will surely earn a lot of money.

"General Duan, I can solve the funding problem."

funds?

What is funding.

Edward Dowood and his family came out of the banking industry. Although they later ran foreign firms, they mainly engaged in import and export trade.However, in the financial industry, the network is very wide, and financing is really not a big problem for Edward Dowood.

Moreover, the ones Duan Xun introduced to him were all money-making businesses.

Not to mention Edward Dowood, even other rich people are willing to invest in these industries.Because these are basically profitable transactions.Not only that, if you can integrate some British businessmen to invest in these industries, then you can become the leader of these British businessmen.

Do not underestimate this situation.

Some people have limited assets and seem to be worth only a few hundred thousand pounds.But many people dare not provoke him, why?It is because although his own assets are limited, the assets he can mobilize are astonishing.

That's what Edward Dowood wanted to be.

Not only to make money by himself, but also to tie many British businessmen to himself, and to be their boss.When the time comes to say something, everyone has to think about it, including the British government.Because at that time, the scale of funds that I will influence will be very large.

"Excellent. Mr. Wood, our cooperation will be very pleasant."

"Yes."

Duan Xun has a bad relationship with Britain, what does this have to do with him.

For Edward Dowood, as long as you can make money, it doesn't matter what problems you have.Edward Dowood doesn't care as long as you're not actually fighting.Now that Duan Xun is cooperating with him on so many important things, how much profit will he bring to him.That's the most important thing.

"Mr. Wood, if you agree, or if your funds are secured, we can discuss a cooperation agreement."

"can."

"But Mr. Wood, I still have a lot of worries."

"General Duan, please speak."

Duan Xun sighed, and said: "Mr. Wood, you should know that due to some things recently, I have not been very happy with your country. In fact, I am very unwilling to have this kind of thing happen. I have always been interested in the British Empire. I have very friendly thoughts, because the British Empire is the greatest country in the world, and it is also the country most worth learning from in the world. But things happened, and the troubles became more and more fierce. I am really worried, If things continue to develop like this, it will affect the cooperation between you and me. I really don't want this matter to affect our friendship."

"General Duan means..."

Edward Dowood has been in the business for so many years, and he doesn't believe the nonsense among Duan Xun.After getting in touch with Duan Xun for a long time, Edward Dowood knew that Duan Xun was a cunning Chinese warlord who never saw a rabbit or threw an eagle.

He is a warlord who only cares about interests.

So when Duan Xun said this, Edward Dowood knew that Duan Xun had something to tell him.

"Mr. Wood, I hope to end the current situation of confrontation as soon as possible. This situation is not good for me, and it is not good for your country. The current anti-British wave in the whole country will also greatly hit the businessmen of your country. Interests. Maybe the anti-British wave is getting bigger and bigger, and many people will criticize the cooperation between you and me, thinking that I am betraying the interests of the country. At that time, because of such things, our provincial council will reject the cooperation between you and me , then both of us will suffer great losses. In fact, the Japanese side has already talked to me about the projects that Mr. Wood and I want to cooperate with, but Mr. Wood is my friend, so I declined the cooperation request from the Japanese side. of."

Although Edward Dowood kept nodding, he was thinking a lot in his heart.

Japan?

He understood more than half of Duan Xun's meaning.

"So Mr. Wood, I wonder if you could speak to Sir Eric Tekman in private. See if we both can find a way to solve the problem instead of this stalemate."

"General Duan, I understand what you mean. I will work hard."

"Thank you, Mr. Wood."

179 British Choice 2

"Mr. Wood, please sit down."

There is pressure on Duan Xun, and there is pressure on Eric Techman.

Everyone is stressed.

Duan Xun's pressure comes from the powerful British Empire, from Beijing.At present, Duan Qirui has sent electricity to Duan Xun several times, asking Duan Xun not to make matters worse, and quickly resolve this incident with the UK.

Because Duan Qirui had no choice.

The congressional election is coming soon, and Duan Qirui does not want other things to interfere with the congressional election.Similarly, the British control the customs, and the customs are currently in the hands of the British.If the British disagree, Duan Qirui will not be able to get Guan Yu.

Guan Yu is not a little money.

At present, there are more than tens of millions of customs deposits seized by the British.With so much money, Duan Qirui can do many things with it.This money is very important to the Beijing government.So he needs to negotiate with the UK as soon as possible, so he can only continue to put pressure on Duan Xun and let Duan Xun handle things quickly.

And the same goes for Eric Techman.

It was not Eric Tekman's original intention to confront a powerful warlord like Duan Xun.Especially for Duan Xun, who doesn't care about the British Empire behind Eric Tekman, Eric Tekman doesn't want to offend him.

More importantly, there are various student movements everywhere in China at the moment.

Starting from Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan, and Changsha, students in big cities in China are making troubles, and they are all condemning British hegemony in the Yangtze River.

Anti-British wave.

Students everywhere are promoting how domineering the UK is.Moreover, many Chinese businessmen took advantage of this opportunity to ostracize British products and sing their support for domestic products.This is a great loss to British businessmen at present.

There are also some powerful factions in China.

For example, the governor of Yunnan, Gu Pinzhen, the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan army, Zhang Guangjian, the governor of Gansu, and Sun Yat-sen in Shanghai, all issued statements supporting Duan Xun and condemning the British's arrogance.These are very detrimental to the UK.

Of course, compared to these, it is Japan that makes Britain most afraid.

Fueling the flames behind the scenes, deliberately pushing the British forces away from China.Moreover, Duan Xun has more and more cooperation with Japan.Eric Tekman already knew that Duan Xun had imported a large amount of arms from Japan before, including many heavy artillery.The artillery that bombarded the British warships was Japanese.

This put Eric Techman under tremendous pressure.

But he can't bow his head.

Because this is related to the face of the British Empire, and it is also related to how to deal with Chinese warlords in the future.If the United Kingdom softens this time, these warlords in China will definitely not take the British Empire seriously in the future.

"Sir Tekman, you are too kind."

Edward Dowood smiled.

He took the tea from Eric Tekman and tasted it lightly.Eric Tekman was still very polite to Edward Dowood.Because Edward Dowood is currently the principal of the major British foreign firms in Sichuan.

Edward Dowood can speak for these foreign firms in Sichuan.Moreover, he has a very wide network of contacts in the financial circle in Shanghai, so even Eric Techman is very polite.

"Mr. Wood, I don't know why you are looking for me today..."

"It's nothing. I'm just worried that Sichuan will go to war? You know, the last thing we businessmen want to see is chaos."

Eric Tekman was also puzzled.
