Chapter 291 Southbound Train (3)
Seeing the topic reaching a deadlock and the atmosphere gradually became more serious, Li Fushou coughed twice and broke his silence and said;
"The funding issue is indeed the key to the start of the Songjiang Wool Industry Base. Nothing can be done without money, but Huitong Bank's monetary tightening is also the truth. The military situation in the front is urgent, and a large number of military expenses have been prepared to support the current war. Borneo is being reorganized and trained in a intensive manner. Military supplies are transported one by one, and in addition, tens of thousands of militias are dispatched to Borneo, which requires financial support. Mr. Kesterner has been trying his best to raise money from multiple sources and has made outstanding contributions to supporting the war ahead. Don't blame him wrongly."
This thoughtful statement made Mr. Kester's eyes moist. Really... who can know the difficulties in his heart?
This past six months
Kestenner was most afraid of summoning the Count. This high-ranking figure always spoke million pounds, and he was really spending money without restraint. It was extremely difficult to sit in this position, and it was a mess.
Immigration loans, as the basic policy loan of Huitong Bank, cannot be misappropriated at any time. Based on the current monthly free immigration of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, the average loan per capita is about 20 to 25 pounds, which is no less than the average monthly loan scale of 1.5 million pounds, and the annual loan plate reaches about 18 million pounds.
In addition, loan support is needed in all aspects of social life, and Kester himself cannot afford to pay. The over-issuance of Huitong Bank's gold tickets has exceeded 50%, becoming the most important means to support the current financial dilemma.
This is towards self-destruction!
Manager Kestener, who has been engaged in the financial industry for decades, knows clearly that the issuance of banknotes in the world today is based on the gold standard. Ordinary people can exchange equal amounts of gold at any time with Huitong gold notes (response fees are required). Once the reputation of banknote issuance breaks down and a run occurs for the public, Huitong Bank, a behemoth, will collapse.
As a bank director, this terrible ending was unacceptable to Manager Kesterner. His entire wealth was under Huitong Bank. Once Huitong Bank went bankrupt and liquidated, he would go from a wealth of wealth to a poor person and his career prospects would be ruined.
OK OK, I'm just an insignificant minor shareholder. The Earl who controls most of the shares of the bank can afford to bet. Don't hold on to a small person like me.
After a brief touch, Mr. Kester said in a dry tone; "You know, the serious shortage of funds has affected the next monthly free immigration loan, but we can temporarily solve this problem by misappropriating dividends, and squeeze out a little from it to support the construction of the Songjiang base, but the premise is that no large military expenditures can occur in September and October, that is, it will be over. The free immigration work must be suspended because Huitong Bank really has no money."
"Hey... in the short term, there will be no large-scale wars in Borneo, and it is still necessary to keep up with the urgent needs of the Songjiang base in front of you. Then... how much can Huitong Bank squeeze out?" Li Fushou asked.
He did not answer positively, do you know when will a large-scale war take place in Borneo?
Anyway, the Dutch were also preparing in full swing. The battle was covered with clouds over Borneo, and the two sides were tensely confronted, and the war preparations did not stop for a moment.
If you really want to start a fight, no one can be afraid.
"Oh... the amount of this money is no more than 200,000 pounds, which is already the greatest ability of Huitong Bank." Mr. Kesterner replied as uncomfortable as if he was constipated.
"That's it..." Li Fushou touched his chin with some embarrassment and said after thinking about it. "The Songjiang base still needs raw material payments for operation. The total funding gap is still 400,000 to 500,000 pounds. Neikuri does have some money. This is to deal with the need from time to time. I asked them to allocate another 150,000 pounds. With the previous funding allocation of 250,000 pounds, the total funding gap can be solved by raising multiple sources. Your Honghe Valley Industrial Corporation also thinks of a way. Nowadays, those guys in the army have a lot of money in their pockets, and they can mobilize them to invest and share dividends to solve a large part of the funding. The remaining raw material payment is temporarily owed. The Wool Spinning Factory should be able to turn over this amount of money and repay it for a few months."
"Thank you for your care and Mr. Kesterner for your strong help, so that our Red River Valley Industrial Corporation will have the confidence to solve the biggest problem and ensure that the Songjiang base is successfully put into production." Hu Chaoshan stood up and bowed with joy.
Mr. Kestra rolled his eyes and said in a dissatisfaction. "Huitong Bank is really out of money now. Please let us go. Where you need money, please do not open your mouth. If you have any problems, you will come to the next year. Please be aware of it."
While saying this, Kestern stared at Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer, who was to hear this militant German army.
If you ask Kester who he hates the most, Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer will undoubtedly rank first.
The loans borrowed from other projects are all borrowed and interest, but the military expenditure is meat buns and dogs. There is no return. Mr. Kesterner must be able to like it before he can see it!
All of this crazy warrior kept urging the noble Count to ignite the war everywhere, casting a thick haze of war on the original economic development situation, and large financial losses and outsourcing. The culprits were these military leaders who were afraid of the world's chaos.
Kestener had no courage to blame the noble Count, and he vented his resentment to the military.
You should know that huge military expenditures cannot bring any economic benefits, and if they are spent, they will be gone.
Nowadays, urban construction and industrial and commercial development require loan support everywhere. These projects with stable returns cannot get money. The accumulated large amount of funds have turned into huge military expenses and burned them. This made Mr. Kesterner feel heartbroken. How can he tolerate it?
Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer is now proud, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals. He doesn't care about Mr. Kester's eyes killing, he said with a chuckle;
"The soldiers in front of us bleed and sweated to expand their territory and serve the Count, which made us loyal and dedicated to the Earl, and we have achieved the great situation where our Red River Valley is now terrifying in the South Pacific region. The future prospects are bright. You, a wealthy slave, know what long-term strategy is, and you are holding that little money all day long and reluctant to take it out. It's really a petty family that can't be put on the table..."
"Fuck, you, a vulgar warrior who keeps selling war, is also worthy of preaching in front of me. I work hard to protect the family business for Lord Earl and protect the comprehensive economic development of the Red River Valley. The current thriving and rapid economic momentum is never interrupted. If you don't have money, you can drink the northwest wind. How can you understand the importance of economic development? There are so many land in the world, can you still occupy it? A group of warriors who are crazy about warriors who use your so-called strategies all day long to incite Lord Earl. You bastards should go to hell..."
Mr. Kesterner retorted fiercely and looked very excited.
If you don't burst out in silence, you will die in silence.
Seeing the two of them quarrels against Mai Mang, Li Fushou turned his head helplessly and looked at the scenery outside that was rapidly retreating backwards. He did not actively get involved. Sometimes it was good to quarrel.
Military expenditure is indeed a headache for gold-selling cave, which made Kestener curse the soldiers and reminded them that the landlords did not have any surplus food.
Chief of Staff Conrad Adenauer is not a good-for-nothing person. Recently, he has been reorganizing the Leopard Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry, hoping to reorganize these two framework divisions into full divisions, with the reason that he is not panicked when he has food in his hands and is used to shock the southern states.
God knows that Li Fushou has no money now.
In 1981, nearly 4 million pounds of net income were intercepted, plus more than 1 million to more than 2 million in previous years, the profits accumulated over the years were all added up to about 9 million pounds, mainly used in two major investments.
First, we are establishing a strategic reserve warehouse in the mountains and ridges of Songjiang Town, which will reserve a series of supplies from guns and ammunition to camps, bristles and tung oil, saddles and horse harnesses, etc. This is to prepare for an internal war with the southern states to prevent being caught off guard.
Queensland does not have a real national reserve, and the state's finances are unable to spend. This can only be raised by the Earl of Queensland, who is rich enough to compete with the country, and cannot leverage others.
This part of the expenditure cost about 2.6 million pounds, and a reserve warehouse covering weapons, ammunition, logistics supplies, and various military supplies was gradually established, which could supply troops with a scale of 60,000 people for one year.
Second, the so-called "If a person has no long-term thinking, he will have immediate worries.
The remaining approximately 6 million pounds are used as a secret investment, and through various companies as cover, it is used to widely purchase property assets in the core location of Manhattan, New York, and shops in the West End of London, UK, etc., as a way to retreat from Australia, and to make a comeback one day.
When the current situation slows down, this secret investment will continue to increase. This is a secret expense that Chen Shiheng, the head of the inner warehouse manager, does not know about, and the confidentiality level is extremely high.
These secret things cannot be disclosed. Li Fushou quickly retreated as he admired the vast mountains and rivers outside the window, feeling the joy from body to heart, and the fierce debate between the military and financial officials under his command did not affect his emotions.
For those who are superior, checks and balances are the kingly way.
Today's era is the last opportunity to divide the world's territory. If you miss it, you will never be able to go back. Li Fushou is determined to build a beautiful home for overseas Chinese in Australia, and of course he will not miss this opportunity.
Whether it is spending huge military expenses or being strong and powerful, no matter how you say it, expansion must be carried out. Mr. Kesterner made a wrong target. In fact, Li Fushou is the biggest black hand in secretly promoting expansion.
But now he has a weak foundation, a weak body, and a small appetite. He can eat up a little bit.
Anyway, he has set his sights on the weakest Dutch. Even if the final peace agreement can last for many years, it will still be a big question mark?
When the strength becomes stronger, is it really difficult to tear a peace agreement?
For similar situations, please refer to the Russian-Turkey War. Ten Russian-Turkey Wars have broken out in the past 100 years. The greedy Tsarist Russian Empire caught the fat sheep of the Ottoman Empire and tried hard to pull the sheep, vowing to pull it bald.
The East Indies region has been a region where Chinese ancestors live and reproduce since ancient times. It has created a brilliant cultural and historical heritage here. This is not a questionable historical basis, and there is no bragging element at all.
