In the past, arms transactions with foreigners were all about real money or more terrible privileges. Therefore, Gao Xiaoshan never thought that he could use other things to pay for arms. But now when he suddenly heard about multiple payment methods, he
I was immediately interested.
"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me what these multiple payment methods are?"
Zhang Tinglan secretly smiled in his heart. The fish finally took the bait. He remained calm and said slowly: "Mr. Gao, this is just my idea. The Fengtian government often borrows from the banking system, such as immigration loans, loans for construction of water conservancy facilities, and development loans."
The industry also takes out loans, using future agricultural and industrial products as collateral. This means that the government has done what it wants to do in advance, and the banks have also obtained stable interest income, which is also a good thing for the people. This is
It’s a win-win situation, and I’m also wondering if arms transactions can also follow this model and make payments more flexible.”
When Gao Xiaoshan heard this proposal, his calculating energy suddenly came back. If Zhang Tinglan's method was followed, the Braided Army could use a small amount of funds to buy more weapons. This was definitely a dream.
The question of what kind of mortgage is needed has become Gao Xiaoshan's worry. Will he want all kinds of privileges like the great powers?
But then I thought about it, even if Fengjun was given some privileges, since everyone is Chinese, it would not be considered traitorous, but he also knew that Fengjun was strong and ambitious, so he cooperated with Fengjun and did not let Fengjun suffer.
Cleaned.
He asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhang, I very much agree with this proposal, but I don't know what Fengjun will accept as collateral?"
"The collateral must be valuable, and the income must be stable. To be blunt, there are not many projects like this in the three places of Rehe. I think there are two things that are most suitable, one is opium and the other is taxation. Just say
Let’s make it clear. Rehe grows a large amount of opium every year. You can mortgage the opium to us. How to sell it in the future will be decided by Fengtian. The second point is the issue of taxation. Fengjun sends special personnel to supervise finance and taxation, which is fixed every year.
Pay Fengjun’s debt and interest.”
After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Gao Xiaoshan immediately shook his head like a rattle. Such conditions must not be agreed to. Opium is the biggest profit for the braided army. How many people are pointing to opium to make a fortune. Zhang Xun does not dare to touch it easily.
. And finance and taxation are even more important things. If it is also handed over to Fengjun, wouldn't it be no different from the transactions with the great powers?
"Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Fengtian is the local government and is on an equal footing with Rehe. It's hard for you to supervise our business and taxation. It's hard to talk about and handle!"
Of course Zhang Tinglan also knew that it would be difficult to handle, so he deliberately raised it. He was just asking for a high price. He pretended to be very embarrassed, then thought about it and said: "Gao Xiaoshan, since you don't agree, I don't have a good way. Let's
Let’s give it up for now and talk about it next time.”
"No!" Gao Xiaoshan heard that he finally had a solution, so he couldn't let it go. He hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, you are resourceful and will definitely be able to come up with a solution. For the sake of the good relationship between the two families,
Take a lot of trouble.”
Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and then said: "I am the leader of the army and I am not sure about economic matters. Let's find an expert to come over and let her provide advice."
While talking, Zhang Tinglan asked someone to invite someone. Gao Xiaoshan took a closer look and saw that the person was a girl in her twenties, with first-class appearance and figure, and she looked shrewd all over her body.
Qianlian, Gao Xiaoshan has doubts about this girl, but also has a little hope, can she solve the problem in front of her?
"Miss Qiao, I'm negotiating a business deal with Mr. Gao, but it's a bit difficult. Please help me with this." Zhang Tinglan then introduced the arms deal to Qiao Lanyun, who pretended to be serious.
After listening, my beautiful eyebrows wrinkled from time to time.
"I think Mr. Gao's concern is right. Fengtian wants to ensure that the debt can be repaid, and the idea is not wrong, but it cannot turn Rehe and other places into tributaries. What is the difference between such a deal and the methods used by great powers to bully others?"
Qiao Lanyun's words immediately aroused Gao Xiaoshan's approval. This girl is so perceptive and speaks so well.
Zhang Tinglan looked embarrassed and said: "Then what do you think Miss Qiao should use as a guarantee? We must ensure the safety of the money."
Qiao Lanyun also nodded, then took out a pen and paper, and made some calculations. Every move she made was very serious. Gao Xiaoshan watched honestly from the side. After a long while, Qiao Lanyun finally
He raised his head.
"My suggestion is to let Fengtian Bank come forward and provide loans to Rehe. The arms costs will be repaid first, and then Fengtian Bank and Rehe and other places will discuss the repayment. This will become a completely commercial behavior, and
The government has nothing to do with it. As for what kind of mortgage to use, I also thought about it. I can use the pastures in Suiyuan and other places in Jehol as mortgage. The canned industry in Fengtian is very prosperous and requires a lot of meat. Some businessmen have prepared to enclose the land to breed cattle.
If you have sheep, the pasture is very valuable and can be used as a mortgage."
When Gao Xiaoshan heard about using grassland as collateral, he didn't have any objections. There wasn't much else in Rehe and other places, but grassland was widely spread, and compared with cultivated land, the output of the same area of grassland was really pitiful. If it could be used as collateral,
, is also acceptable.
"I think this is a good idea, but a lot of pastureland is in the hands of the original Mongolian princes, so it's hard for us to rob it!"
"Mr. Gao misunderstood." Qiao Lanyun said with a smile: "The mortgage I am talking about is not to seize the pasture, but to develop it commercially. We will buy it from the Mongolians. In short, it will not cause any disputes!"
"Then I can rest assured and let's handle it this way."
"Now that Mr. Gao has agreed, there are still two additional conditions to agree to. First, to develop the grassland, a large number of Fengtian businessmen must go to Rehe. Investment must be facilitated. In addition, commercial development must provide financing. Fengtian Bank must establish a business in Chengde.
A branch.”
Gao Xiaoshan thought about it and realized that this was a reasonable suggestion, so he nodded in agreement. The two parties had discussed the general direction, and then Gao Xiaoshan happily went to finalize the specific contract.
Zhang Tinglan and Qiao Lanyun looked at Gao Xiaoshan's retreating figure and burst into laughter.
"Miss Qiao, our double act is not bad. We have obtained the land and let the financial forces penetrate deeply. The economic offensive must always be ahead of the military offensive. Rehe and other places will gradually become familiar with it."
Qiao Lanyun also nodded slightly. She seemed to want to say something, but she swallowed it back. Zhang Tinglan was very proud and did not notice her emotional changes. Instead, he said: "Miss Qiao, after this matter is done, what else will you do?"
Could you please help me? There are a large number of Russian land properties along the Middle East Road. These must be cleared out and then auctioned. Those areas are very suitable for commercial development, and I think businessmen will flock to them!"
"Yeah! I'll go make preparations right now." Qiao Lanyun agreed and then left.
Soon the negotiations between Fengjun and Gao Xiaoshan ended. Gao Xiaoshan purchased a total of 10,000 rifles, 5 million rounds of ammunition, 40 mortars, 150,000 grenades, and 20 Type 41 guns.
Mountain cannons, ten Krupp mountain cannons, twenty heavy machine guns, twenty light machine guns, and a batch of military supplies.
The total price exceeded 6 million, more than double the original amount. Fengtian Bank provided Gao Xiaoshan with a loan of 3.5 million as collateral, and a total of 3.5 million yuan was allocated in Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan.
Ten million acres of grassland were handed over to Fengtian Bank for management.
Within the delineated range, businessmen from the three northeastern provinces can plant and breed. If mineral resources are discovered, they can also be prioritized for development. There is also an additional condition that Fengtian businessmen can recruit security personnel on their own to protect the safety of the pastures.
After the agreement was finalized, many businessmen in Fengtian were immediately alarmed. Fengtian has a great need for meat and urgently needs to establish a stable supply. Therefore, many people are interested in the ranch, but many people are skeptical.
In the past, the Mongols herded cattle and the Han people farmed the land. Now they have rashly allowed the Han people to manage the pastures. The difficulty is not small, and conservative people do not dare to make up their minds.
However, there are also people who dare to be the first to eat crabs. Chu Mingyuan happened to be in Fengtian. After hearing the news, he hurriedly came to visit Zhang Tinglan.
Zhang Tinglan had a very good impression of him and was ready to promote him, so he invited him to his residence and asked with a smile: "What achievements have you made during this period? Please introduce him as well."
"It all depends on my husband's guidance. Sure enough, there are more and more people producing farm tools this year, and the pressure on us is also increasing. However, the demand for cattle is increasing, but the shortage is alarming, so we went to the hot spot.
He and other places, cattle and horses have been trafficked several times in succession, and the profits are quite astonishing. You can buy a cow several oceans away in Rehe, and you can even use tea, silk, and gadgets produced in Fengtian to exchange for cattle and horses, and then transport them
When we come back, we can buy a cow for at least twenty or thirty oceans. After deducting the cost, we can make a profit of four to five times."
"This business is good. Come to me. Do you have any new ideas?"
"Yes, sir, you have said that you need to be ahead of others. Many people will definitely start selling cattle and sheep after seeing the profits. If you want to make so much money again, it will be impossible. This time I heard that we got one in Fengtian
I plan to contract a large number of pastures for breeding, so that the supply of goods is in my own hands."
Zhang Tinglan smiled and nodded: "It's a good idea, but how do you plan to run the pasture?"
"Let's learn from the Mongolians. Whatever they do, we should do the same. In short, we will suffer more!"
Zhang Tinglan smiled and shook his head: "The Mongolians migrate after water and grass. One acre of pasture can't raise a sheep. How can this be efficient? If you want to do it, I suggest you stop being nomadic. The pasture must be used.
We also need to protect it. One acre of land can raise at least dozens of sheep, and the profit will increase more than ten times in one go. This is the best choice." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
