C3504 He even stole his sons money!] (1/2)
”A profit of three points is equivalent to a thief. A servant is not that greedy. I will exchange three million for you. The interest of two years is equivalent to three points. This is a very good deal for their silver transaction …”
”Maybe when they go to the people and find a large number of commoners to dismantle it, the interest would be lower. But, who has calculated the cost of time?”
”It'll be solved with a single sentence from me. If I go to the bond market or the bank to break it down, it'll take at least five months!”
”Five months is enough time for this fleet to cross the Pacific two times. How much money would be earned from trading these two silver ores?”
”The seller knows how to calculate, especially the cost of time …” ”So my three million is a huge amount of money for them!”
”A profit of 1.8 million taels in two years!” Do you think this sale will be worth it, empress dowager? ”
”There are many more examples like this, where the Northern Industrial Zones needs to build a railway from Tanggu Port to Kaiping Gouye … Was this a profitable business? ”Of course it is. But this sort of business has been invested for a long time, so I haven't invested much. It's only one million …”
”But this one million was spent in the name of the shares. The future is invested every year, so it's always going to be profitable …”
Yang Zhi wanted to mention other examples, but Li Lianying opened her mouth and said, ”Mmm … Master Yang, why did I hear that all of this big business is going on Xiao Letian's territory? ”
”What if we turn hostile and withhold our money? What if we don't hand it over? Isn't that a risk? ”
Yang Zhi smiled slightly, ”Chief Steward is overthinking it! ”I know that the Chinese are competing with me, Daqing. They seem friendly on the surface but there are countless conflicts and battles within …”
”But Xiao Letian doesn't look that bad when he eats it. What he learnt from the bottom of his heart is the foreign devil mercantilism … In business dealings, credibility is paramount! ”
”Maybe he also has places to take advantage of, like the bonds he got from the war, or to pour water on the paper money market... But afterwards, he had to use Real Gold and Silver s to make up for it. This was to make up for his confidence in going to the market! ”
”Why should the French pay? There must be ships shipping silver to the south of the river right now. This is to stabilize the people in the market! ”
”Blackened our money? No, no, no... ”He doesn't even want to do something like breaking the rules in Jiangnan, do you think he'll let his reputation go against our money?”
”Unless an open war breaks out between us, it is impossible for Xiao Letian to blatantly underestimate our funds … ”It's because this is too big of a blow to the Chinese credibility. As long as it's black this time, the merchants of the entire world will not trust him!”
”So …” ”The most popular saying in the Chinese business circles is, 'Capital has no boundaries'. Money does not concern itself with the affairs of the imperial government...”
What Yang Zhi said was said happily, but he didn't expect that Ci Xi would let out a cold snort. The imperial court was out of their sight, lawless! Capital has no borders? Indeed, all the merchants in the world do not know how to be loyal and patriotic! ”
Yang Zhi immediately knelt down and kowtowed, ”Master! ”Servant, I am not a merchant. Servant, I am an official of the imperial court. I am a watchdog that shows money boxes for the His Majesty …”
”This servant is loyal, truly loyal!”
Ci Xi looked at Li Lianying, and the eunuch quickly helped Yang Zhi up: ”What is Master Yang doing? ”No one will doubt you if the empress dowager suspects you …”
After he roughly understood Yang Zhi's investment philosophy, Ci Xi nodded his head and said, ”There are indeed a lot of ways, but in the end, it is not a circle of people, their connections are all connected together. ”The various factions are numerous. When it's time to cooperate, cooperate. When it's time to compete, compete …”
”But in general, big merchants eat small merchants and small merchants eat commoners … The commoners can only make a living out of it! ”
”Empress Dowager is wise …” ”To be honest, this is what the financial circles should be like. As long as you enter the core network, there'll be plenty of deals waiting to be made …”
Ci Xi said as he raised his hand to interrupt Yang Zhi's flattery, ”I understand the situation now, you've already prepared seven million private money for His Majesty, I will definitely not forget the contribution!”
