Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 765 Onboard!Eight

But that night, Yasuda's boss Changshengjima Jiuji rushed to the hotel where Qian Xiaobao was staying and asked him to meet with Yasuda Zenzaburo.

"How much money do you still need?" Yasuda Zenzaburo asked straight to the point.

"The working capital needed to buy land, train employees, build factories and buy cotton is still 30 US dollars." Qian Xiaobao replied.

The price of land and labor in Japan is still very low, and the construction cost is not high.This is also thanks to the Americans, whose indiscriminate bombing has caused large areas of vacant land in Japan to come out.

The military factory is gone, and there are no other factories to fill it.

"Yasuda is willing to invest another 30 US dollars on the condition that he will take another 20.00% of the shares." Yasuda Zenzaburo said.

Yasuda Bank has already invested 5.00 US dollars to account for 20.00% of the shares, and if it invests more, it will account for [-]% of the shares.

"Mr. Yasuda, I have already talked with people from the Sumitomo Foundation, and they are willing to invest 5.00 US dollars to take up 20% of the shares. You can invest another [-] US dollars to increase the share capital by [-]%." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"You're lying! I know everything, and you haven't even contacted Sumitomo!" Yasuda Zenzaburo said angrily.

"I've already contacted them. It was Earl Komatsu who called their president himself. Tomorrow, I will go to see President Sumitomo just to go through the process." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Yasuda Zenzaburo stared at Qian Xiaobao for a long time and said in a gentle tone: "Yasuda is the first company to really invest in us, but Mr. Takashima's attitude is not very friendly to us."

"I am very grateful to Mr. Yasuda for being optimistic about our Takashima Textiles, but 30 US dollars is too much to account for 20.00% of the shares. Adding the original 5.00%, you may be the largest shareholder." Qian Xiaobao said.

"However, in order to express our gratitude to Yasuda, we are still willing to let you increase the capital by 20 US dollars, which will account for [-]% of the shares, no more." Qian Xiaobao said.

"I sent people to investigate a long time ago, and even sent people to Shanghai. You have no money now, otherwise the equipment can be shipped back at once, so don't be too stubborn." Yasuda Zenzaburo said.

"Since Mr. Yasuda has investigated, don't the people from Sumitomo and Mitsui not investigate? Now they all know that I am not a liar, and those equipments are waiting to be shipped in Shanghai. I can ship them all back with just a little more shipping fee." Qian Xiaobao said.

Qian Xiaobao stood up suddenly and said: "This is your last chance. Is it difficult for us to get tens of thousands of dollars in freight? After the equipment is shipped to Osaka, I will use all the equipment as a mortgage to the bank. You guys Then there will be no chance!"

Yasuda Zenzaburo finally gave in.

"The $30 was all funded by Yasuda Bank, at the original price, accounting for 15.00% of the shares." Yasuda Zenzaburo said.In this way, Yasuda's total shareholding in Takashima Textiles is 20.00%.

"No, I can only invest 20 U.S. dollars, [-]% of the shares!" Qian Xiaobao never backed down.

Chairman Takashima must not become a decoration in Takashima Textiles because of his low shareholding.

Qian Xiaobao returned to the hotel excitedly an hour later.

"Abe, take your notes." Qian Xiaobao said.

The two sat at the table, and Second Lieutenant Abe prepared paper and pen.

"Yasuda Bank invested a total of 30 U.S. dollars to take up 15.00% of the shares. It shouldn't be a problem for me to go to Sumitomo tomorrow. Let them invest 5.00 U.S. dollars to take up [-]% of the shares." Qian Xiaobao said.

Second Lieutenant Abe recorded it on paper.

"The six people you brought back when you escaped from Dalian, except Chuan Shang Cao Chang, each of them has [-]% of the shares. Chuan Shang Cao Chang is now the director of the police station. I am optimistic about him and plan to invest in him. Give him [-]% Two shares." Qian Xiaobao continued.

"You have been cooperating with me for the past two years. Many things cannot be done without you. You hold 5.00% of the shares, and Dashangang holds [-]% of the shares." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Actually, you have worked the hardest since arriving in Japan. Without you, we would not be where we are today, let alone Takashima Spinning!" Second Lieutenant Abe said sincerely.

"Thanks to your help." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"Actually, Professor Ogasawara helped me think about a lot of things during this period. I gave him [-]% of the shares. It turned out that Earl Komatsu had [-]% of the shares. In addition, I gave Mr. Akio Doi [-]% of the shares. It turned out that the Kwantung Army intelligence General Toshimoto Yamamoto and Masanobu Tsuji each have [-]% of the shares. The Masahiro Okamoto I recruited in Shanghai is very capable, and we will rely on him in the future, and he has [-]% of the shares.” Qian Xiaobao said.

"What about the dozen or so people in the navy?" Second Lieutenant Abe asked.

He was referring to Masahiro Kawaguchi and Ryuji Sasaki.

"These people do things without brains. I don't like it very much. Professor Ogasawara said that some people would rather give more money than shares. Give them more money, maybe they will be happier, and the whaling ship will also be managed by them." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Second Lieutenant Abe bowed his head and said: "There is still 50.00% of San's shares left, and these are all yours."

"It can't be said that it's all mine. It can only be said that I will temporarily manage it, and some will be distributed to others in the future. Most of the money earned, which is 50.00% of the share dividends, will be distributed to those who are in need." Qian Xiaobao shook his head and said.

Hearing Chairman Takashima say that, Second Lieutenant Abe was very moved.

After everything was discussed, both of them were very excited.

Qian Xiaobao and Second Lieutenant Abe were lying on the window sill, smoking while looking at the scenery outside the window.The place that was bombed by American planes two years ago into a piece of scorched earth has already started to build a lot of houses.

"Abe, among us, you are the only one who graduated from a non-commissioned officer school and received training at Nakano School. You are proficient in Russian and English. You will be required to do many things in the future. For example, I will send you to India buys cotton. In the future, such things will be left to you." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Hi!" Second Lieutenant Abe replied.

Due to the climate, India is rich in cotton.However, the cotton they produced had to be bought to British textile mills due to the reasons of the British suzerain.Other countries cannot buy Indian cotton without the consent of Britain, nor can they sell their own textiles to British colonies including India, no matter how low the price or how good the quality is.

But now the situation has begun to change. After World War II, Britain's strength was severely weakened, and independence movements in various colonies were surging.

The influential Mahatma in India called on all Indians to reject British goods and set off a massive hand-woven movement.

Due to the sharp drop in demand, many textile mills in Lancashire, the textile center of the UK, have stopped or reduced production.This has created a large backlog of cotton in India.

The newly revived Japanese textile industry began to go to India to purchase cotton.

"President, you know so much!" Second Lieutenant Abe exclaimed.

"Yes, this is what Professor Ogasawara told me. Of course, I am also studying hard!" Qian Xiaobao replied in embarrassment.
