C3599 Competing over budget

Hu Xueyan performed the etiquette of a nephew in front of Fan Lian. Seeing that Fan Lian was really angry, he also quickly kneeled down and explained, "Old uncle, don't say it like that. On the surface, I seem to be a member of the Qing Dynasty, but I am also a member of the Chinese race! "

"You know that. You can't doubt me that much!"

"Then why are you doing all this behind my back? What's the point of trapping me in Shanghai? "

Hu Xueyan, Niu Jinfu and the rest were really plotting something small, and they let the old shopkeeper stay in Shanghai on purpose.

Everyone knew that the triangulation in the financial markets was already very high, and there was no choice but to settle it. Therefore, even if the Head of the Guards felt sorry for his father-in-law, and didn't want him to board the boat to the Singapore, he would still go.

Some people might not understand, but couldn't the old shopkeeper wait in Shanghai for a few days?

He really couldn't wait, because after Xiao Letian arrived at Singapore, the Expeditionary forces would only need two servings, the main task would be to return to the Ryukyu and fix and repair all the naval battleships.

However, Xiao Letian could not return home early on. Nan Yang was an area of influence that he had just swallowed. Borneo, Luzon and Annan all needed to go personally to understand it and formulate practical policies.

It was very possible that Xiao Letian had stayed in the Southern Ocean for more than five months!

Fan Lian simply could not wait for more than five months, he had to personally see Young Master and think of all sorts of ways to resolve this problem.

There was a very important contradiction involved in this, and that was the internal conflict within the Chinese … Business and industry wanted the Central Bank to release more water, while the Military Department wanted more battleships to train the army, the work department wanted more railways, and the Ministry of Education wanted more schools.

The competition for the budget has reached a point where it has become a hot potato. Capitalists are the fastest responders in this war.

Fan Lian definitely could not be allowed to go to the Singapore, because everyone knew that Fan Lian would only help Young Master with his worries and would not increase the pressure.

Even though he could get 100 million, he could only get 50 million!

The only thing they could do was to make the old shopkeeper stay in Shanghai. They modified the departure time and made the old shopkeeper wait foolishly in Shanghai, while the fast ships left the city ahead of time.

These people had even left Hu Xueyan to stabilize the old shopkeeper, it could even be said that they had put in a lot of effort!

Hu Xueyan knew that he could not hide the truth, and could only say grievingly, "Old Uncle, you know the situation … What is our cash shortage now? If we don't get one hundred million new blood, we won't be able to ease up such a huge amount of debt! "

"Mi Fei and Old Cow told me before they left … How pitiful were they now? They are already spending money on the government's white tape! "

What Hu Xueyan said was not wrong, when the cash flow is extremely low, merchants will do whatever they want!

For example, Mi Fei wanted to buy one million silver coins worth of food, but he really didn't have any money on him, and the other party refused to pay on credit because they were afraid of him owing too much.

What should he do? They could only think of a way to get their credit, in the end, Mi Fei had even pulled out a bunch of Chinese government officials' white notes to transfer them!

"Look, these are all white bars that Chinese departments gave me to purchase. Pick one and you'll get one million …" When the leader comes back, you can take the white stick and exchange it for silver! "

"You don't trust me anymore, don't tell me you don't trust the leader, or the Chinese who just defeated the France?"

With that said, all the merchants were tempted. First, they chose the military and the Ministry of Finance's white note, followed by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology's promissory notes.

This meant that the systems within the same government also had different levels of credit!

Take away a million white sticks, give you a million grains? This was not the way to do business. This kind of trade was made with a very high interest rate.

"Mi Fei wants one million grains, he has to give one million one hundred fifty thousand white sticks … "The interest rate is actually as high as 15%!"

"With old shopkeeper at this stage, all the merchants were about to go crazy … They really can't take it anymore! "

"Even merchants of the same size as Mi Fei and Old Cow only have two to three million in cash … With such a small amount of money, you've managed to buy and sell plates worth tens of millions. What else can you do other than wait for the market to collapse? "

"I've already built a fire in my room, so I didn't tell you about it. It was just a little conspiracy …" We really don't have any other intentions! "

old shopkeeper was an experienced man, he understood the reality of the situation as soon as he heard it. The more complicated it was, the more old shopkeeper closed his eyes, and tears started streaming down his face.

"Forget it …" "I don't care, you guys can go now …"

"But I must make it clear! Don't ever forget your roots. What do you rely on today? We are relying on the Chinese army to protect and protect you! "

"Without strong army, you will be eaten alive by foreign devils and the Qing Dynasty!"

"We Chinese want to live on, live better … He couldn't afford to lose money from the army! The deep blue navy that my Young Master wants, we have to build! "

"You want to make money without a cannon to protect you? Pui … They are all a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered! "

Hu Xueyan was unable to refute what the old shopkeeper said, and the and Old Cow were also unable to refute the Four Heavenly Kings and the Head of State's reasoning.

"You guys …" In order to get more budget, he had to put all of his strategies into the old shopkeeper? "You guys really can do it …"

"Forget it, I won't punish you. After all, you all have rendered meritorious services in this war …"

Xiao Letian stood up and paced around the room with his hands behind his back: "400 million war reparations..." Half of it was in European banks, and the main use of that money was naval construction and the purchase of new equipment... "

"If we, the Chinese people, want to industrialize, we have to do the entire industrial system. Iron and steel metallurgy, mechanical processing, chemical manufacturing, petroleum industry, military industry... Including future electricity and so on! "

"Everything is difficult at the beginning. If we want to produce our own equipment, the first batch will have to be purchased!"

"And the Navy, and even the Gold-Eating Monster …" "So the 200 million from Europe, nobody can think about that anymore …"

"The remaining two hundred million … The funds for education must be guaranteed in full, followed by the railways and the Industrial Zones... Our fortress! "These are also heads …"

"The rest …"

Mi Fei and Old Cow cried as they wiped their tears and mucus on their noses. "Leave us some …" This is what you said yourself, Leader! "" No, no!

"In the end, the products of the Industrial Zones still need to be sold by merchants, and those manufacturing enterprises also need to be operated by merchants … Leave us a share! "Sob, sob, sob …"

The two of them were crying their hearts out to Xiao Letian! There was no sign of the God of Fortune, the two poor bastards.

Xiao Letian laughed bitterly, "Don't use such a trick! "It's not like I'm saying I don't care about you guys …"

"I do have a plan. See if it's feasible or not!"
