Fengxian Jiangshan

The design of Fred's office is very interesting. There is a small single room separated by a wall. A few holes are deliberately cut out in the corner of the single room, so that the voices outside can be clearly heard. However, from the office, it is completely occupied by Fred. The big sofa blocked it, so I couldn't see anything.

Zhang Tinglan also knew that the Jew was making trouble again, so he listened attentively.At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then Fred greeted each other with a smile.As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard that it was Miki, he immediately became interested. This guy was fanning the ghostly wind everywhere, and he almost used Feng Delin to trick him just now. Zhang Tinglan was thinking about revenge, and Miki took the initiative to deliver the goods to his door.

Before going to Beijing, Zhang Tinglan and Fred set up a trap against Miki. It seemed that this big fish was about to take the bait. Zhang Tinglan put her ears on the wall and listened carefully to how Fred, an old fox, fooled Miki. villain.

In fact, Miki was in a bad mood. He provided Feng Delin with loans and arms in order to deal with Zhang Zuolin.After finally inquiring about the time of Zhang Zuolin's train, Miki immediately encouraged Feng Delin to do it. It would be best to shoot Lao Zhang directly, and then support Feng Delin to take over.

However, at this time, he received a telegram from Fengtian's assistant, saying that the arms trade with Russia might be cancelled. Miki weighed it up and down, and felt that the matter of arms was more important. After all, it involved a large order of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. And he has to explain to domestic shareholders, so Miki can only rush back to Fengtian early.

In the end, he didn't follow Feng Delin, and Lao Zhang came back unscathed. After knowing the news, Miki felt regretful.But besides blaming Feng Delin, he had no other choice.

After arriving at Fred's office, the two greeted each other, and Fred asked first, "Mr. Miki, you are always a busy person, how come you have time to find me!"

"Mr. Fred, I heard that there are some changes in the arms affairs, so I came here to inquire. Haven't we reached a preliminary intention? How can there be changes?"

Fred shrugged, and said casually: "Mr. Miki, you said it was a preliminary intention, so naturally it is not the final result. It has changed a bit, isn't it normal?"

"Of course it's not normal. This is a foreign trade agreement worth hundreds of millions of dollars!" Miki knocked on the table excitedly. He actually regarded the arms trade with Russia as the last straw.

At first, he was ordered to Fengtian to try to control Fengtian's business, and then purchased the local products of the three eastern provinces, exported them to Europe, and helped Japanese domestic consortiums profit.As a result, Zhang Tinglan interfered with this initially smooth plan, and it failed completely. He did nothing for more than three months, and domestic dissatisfaction with him had reached the extreme.

If it wasn't for Fred's timely advice to Russia to purchase Japanese arms, which gave Japan an opportunity, Miki would have been driven back to China long ago. But now there is sudden news that there is also a problem with the arms sale, so how could he not be in a hurry.

Miki looked excited, but Fred remained calm, picked up the cup, and drank coffee slowly, as if Miki was not in his eyes at all.

However, the more arrogant Fred became, the more humble Miki became. He hurriedly suppressed his excitement, and said in a gentle voice as much as possible: "Mr. Fred, this trade is very important to me, please help me. Please!" Miki lowered his head heavily while speaking.

Fred was still there, and slowly put the cup on the table, tapped the mahogany tabletop with his fingers, and said: "Mr. Miki, I proposed to Russia to purchase arms from Japan. Sheng Bank and your North Korean Bank are competitors, but this is a national matter, what does it have to do with a banker, I only care about my own interests, the more materials that pass through the Middle East Road, the more benefits I earn."

A slight smile appeared on Fred's face. He leaned forward and said, "Our interests are actually the same!"

"Mr. Fred, since that's the case, please help." Miki took out five checks from his purse, each worth [-] yen, and handed them to Fred.

This is not a small amount, but Fred scoffed at it. He has long despised this amount of money. In order to buy him, Zhang Tinglan directly took out one-tenth of the shares of Xingye Company. According to the current valuation, at least More than 500 million, if the Xingye Company is listed and operated, Fred will be a billionaire, so why would he be interested in such a small amount of money?

The Japanese are petty, and Fred despised him in his heart, but he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. He gently pushed the check in front of Miki.

"There is an old saying in China, which is called vain merit, and I agree with it. This time I am unable to help you with this matter, so I cannot collect money, but I can tell you why it failed. The reason is very simple, His Majesty the Tsar The royal conscript has been personally conscripted, the country has been handed over to the queen, and there is also a demon monk—Rasputin!"

When Miki heard the name Rasputin, his heart was shocked. After preparing to trade with Russia, Miki studied the situation of the upper class dignitaries in Russia.The mystic Rasputin rescued the czar's precious son by virtue of his magical ability, and was sought after by the Russian nobles, and the queen was obedient to him even more.

As a result, after the tsar's royal conquest, the queen took control of the domestic power, and the actual power holder was Rasputin.

Fred sighed and said: "I have nothing to say about the situation in Petrograd. Rasputin kept changing the heads of various departments. The chairman of the Council of Ministers was changed four times, and the Minister of Internal Affairs was changed. Six, and the Minister of War has been replaced by four. This is crazy, Russia is still at war, but their high-ranking government officials are frequently replaced, and their policies are swaying from side to side. It is simply nonsense!"

Fred can also be called a powerful actor, and there was resentment and frustration in his tone, as if he was arguing for Miki.

"The previous Minister of War believed that purchasing military supplies from Japan was an economical and convenient way, so he agreed to my suggestion. As a result, the new minister insisted that Japan's industrial level was backward, and Russia still had to use weapons provided by the United States and France."

"The weapons of the Great Japanese Empire are the best!" Fred inadvertently touched Miki's sore spot. After the Japanese defeated the Manchus and Russia, their national self-esteem swelled unprecedentedly, even to the point of arrogance, which could not be tolerated. not good at all.

After Miki shouted a word, he looked up and saw that Fred was drinking coffee with the old god again, and he was ignored at all. I don’t care if you are advanced or not, anyway, that’s how the Russians see it.

Miki is sitting on pins and needles at this time. If he cannot reach a trade deal with Russia, his trip to China will be considered a complete failure. He came to China with the halo of a business genius, but he suffered a disastrous failure. The only way left was suicide by caesarean section.

"Mr. Fred, I can't fail no matter what, please help me find a way."

Fred looked at the sincere Miki, sighed softly, and said: "The domestic political situation in Tsarist Russia is turbulent, and many nobles are prejudiced against Japan because of the Russo-Japanese War, so the trade agreement will have twists and turns. If you want to pass it smoothly, There is only one way to get strong support from within Russia, and the one who can provide this support at present is the Tsar’s uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas.”

When Fred said this, he stopped again and let Miki taste it for himself. Miki kept thinking about what Fred said, and he had to admit that what Fred said was very reasonable. It's hard to pin down.

Miki also knew Grand Duke Nicholas, he had a huge influence in the Russian government, and he was a big man who could make the final decision. What Fred said was not wrong, but Miki didn't know how to connect with Nikolai at the moment.

"Dear Mr. Fred, please tell me how to get Grand Duke Nicholas to agree?"

"Grand Duke Nicholas controls the Slavic Bank. Recently, there have been minor problems. The bonds have depreciated severely and urgently need financial support. If anyone can help the Grand Duke overcome this difficulty, the Grand Duke will definitely be grateful to him. Of course, the money will not be in vain. Slavic banks control a large number of mines in Russia, as well as shipyards on the Black Sea, which can be used as collateral."

"How much is it!"

"Around 1000 million, the minimum is 800 million!"

Hearing this, Miki's body was shocked. 800 million is the maximum amount he can only allocate. If he can use this money to facilitate the arms trade with Russia, it is also very worthwhile, because it only takes a year or two. You can earn more than [-] million yuan, and this batch of money is not given away in vain, with mines and shipyards as collateral, it seems like a good idea.

"Actually, Mr. Miki, I heard that the Americans have already taken action. Rockefeller, DuPont, Ford and other consortiums are all going to do it. Russia is a big piece of fat!"

This hit Miki's heart again like a heavy punch, and he blurted out: "I agree!"

Fred looked at him playfully, and Miki seemed to feel that his decision was a bit hasty. Fred said with a smile: "Mr. Miki, you can investigate as you like, just don't fall behind the Americans!"

"Give me three days, I want to think about it!" At this time, Miki couldn't sit still anymore, and he hurriedly left Fred's office.

"Old friend, your level of fooling has improved again. It seems that Miki can't escape!"

"I'm telling the truth. If Russia doesn't collapse, Miki will definitely make a lot of money. God bear witness, lying is not a good habit!"

"Japan is not within God's service area, they are destined to be unlucky!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Fred, you said you have good news to tell me, what is it?"

"Zhang, Miki was eaten by us for 800 million at once, isn't that right?"

"Money is just a number to me now, meaningless. What I want is dry goods that can really improve my strength!"

"Okay! Tomorrow there will be a train bringing a batch of wood from the Far East, with you on it and Mr. Zhang's favorite things!"

It's three o'clock, I'm begging for Sanjiang tickets, recommended tickets, Chrysanthemum is in pain, I beg everyone for support.
