8 And set fire to their territory

He likes to quarrel with people the most, why can't there be no sound over there.

So he took the initiative to call and ask Bane: "Mr. Bane, I think you should know what's going on, I have to say that this behavior of the British army is really ugly, but I am not surprised at all when I think of Devimen's history of indulging thugs in arson in the French Concession." I suggest that Mr. Bane better draw a line with this idiot as soon as possible. You know, the French Concession could not have tolerated this style again and again. ”

Bane was frustrated by his Piri Yangqiu, and he asked, "What is Mr. Favoli going to do?" ”

"If you do this again, I will return the favor in the same way." After saying that, Fei Volli hung up the phone very arrogantly.

The sound from the microphone and the stand became loud at that end.

Bane jumped up directly to the excitement!

On the other end of the phone, there was a piece of laughter.

"Let's go, Charlie said on the phone that he found something, this matter is not so simple." Fivoli then said, and then he went out with Merlot and Mamoyer.

They arrived at the club at 3 p.m., and after an hour of exercise, the group came to the top floor refreshed.

Han Huaiyi gave them the materials about Swire & Co., which were translated by Jiang Wenwu and written by Pan Minfu.

After they finished reading it, Han Huaiyi said: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be Ye Zhongxing who heard something, so he took the opportunity to disgust my eldest brother." In other words, Swire & Co. is preparing or is already shipping to New Rome. ”

In this way, Ye Zhongxing's behavior is more like a wake-up call. Of course, this bastard has no good intentions. Melo asked.

Han Huaiyi said: "That's right, so I have to inform you." At present, Ye Zhongxing has not been arrested, and Mitsui Cheng has not provided information yet, so we can only use the limited situation to analyze the matter. ”

The trajectory of Swire & Co.'s business practices is clear and arguable in Han's view.

After annexing the interior and occupying the Yangtze River shipping, they joined forces with the Coast Boats Ownery (CBO), a coastal shipping factory, and began to involve the sugar industry in Southeast Asia and the Japanese trade.

But coastal trade is their shortcoming.

Han Huaiyi analyzed: "It's not that they didn't take this into account, it's very likely that the biggest order of China's coastal trade in the past few years was Cao Yun, but this is an internal matter of the Qing court, and they can't immediately intervene." But they didn't expect the situation to change so quickly. The decline of the Qing court can be described as a river going down, while the development of private commerce in China is flourishing under the trend of the Westernization Movement. ”

"It was at this time that you came to Shanghai and started the new Rome." Fevoli said.

"Yes, we got stuck in their throats by all the chances, so when I learned about it, I became more and more convinced that Devemon's hostility was not just stupid, or that he was not stupid, that he was profitable."

Swire bought him. There's even Baochang! ”

"I've always been strange that I've blamed Devimen's actions on his personality and ignorance, which I can understand but always be a bit far-fetched," Fei Volli also suddenly realized: "I've always been surprised, I've always been crippled by us. ”

"So what are you going to do, Charlie." Mamoyer asked.

"Since it's sure to be the enemy, what's the point of hesitation." Han Huaiyi sneered: "But I don't think we should fight with them on the existing territory. ”

He explained that the current trade along the coast of New Rome has stabilized, and that there will be no great trouble with the relationship between Japan and Russia.

It is impossible for Swire & Co. to say that the British warships were openly bad.

So, he thought that New Rome just had to do what it had to do when it came to shipping.

"Let's start by analysing the big world of New Rome, the clubs, the shipping, and the real estate development, all of which Swire & Co. can't shake with means. Then if I analyze them again, the sugar mills in Southeast Asia and the trade with Japan are also something that we cannot shake. ”

"Inland waterway shipping!" Melo said.

Everyone thought so, but Han Huaiyi shook his head, and he smiled at Dewitt: "Dewitt, what do you think?" ”

"The insurance industry." Dewitt had his finger on Charlie's finger and stood up to explain: "The insurance industry that Swire & Co. has more than we have is his lifeline, and it is also their huge source of wealth. ”

Dewitt made a deal with people who don't know much about finance.

Each of the eleven members of the Senate invests $1 to guarantee his property, and if something happens then that person will receive a $5 compensation.

Dewitt said, "If two people have an accident, the insurance company can still earn 1 yuan." If a person has an accident, the insurance company earns 5 yuan. If no one has an accident, the insurance company earns the full amount. But the insured person only spent one yuan to get peace of mind. So the business is hugely profitable. ”

"Dewitt's analogy is a little rougher, but that's probably the truth, and accidents are always small probability events, and increasing the base will further reduce this probability." Han Huaiyi added.

After saying the above, Han Huaiyi said: "Swire thinks that we are stuck in the throat of their shipping development, so they do not declare war on us. Given that, I don't think we should be entangled with them on our turf, defense is not good. We should set fire to their turf. I suggest that we take it a step further and choke them in the insurance industry, force them to show their knives and guns, and then sit down and negotiate a compromise with us! What do you think? ”

"Well done, Charlie, you're a military strategist and a statesman." Melo finally understood what Han Huaiyi meant: "In this way, or our terminal business in Taiwan will get better opportunities." ”

"I don't even mind if Swire & Co. gets involved in our coastal trade, if we get them to bow their heads first. Peace has always been fought. Han Huaiyi admitted.

Dewitt immediately asked, "So Charlie, what do you need us to do, and how do we do insurance business?" ”

"We don't want to touch their fire insurance and ocean shipping insurance. In view of our strength, we carry out cargo insurance for coastal trade, promising the equivalent payment of the goods. In addition, there is work insurance and medical insurance that they ignore but have a large base. Starting with employees in New Rome, each person deducts a certain amount of money each month, and if someone gets sick or injured, the third-party insurance company pays for it. ”

"There's also property insurance, which of course has to be done to people who have assets. as well as personal accident insurance, which is for high-risk industries, such as Belarusian security... ”

"It's a win-win gamble. We make money, the unlucky can get paid, and the insurer who didn't have an accident can get peace of mind. That's probably what I mean, I don't have a lot of expertise after all, so I suggest that Dewitt take charge of this matter and come up with the regulations as soon as possible, preferably at the same time as the mintage, so that we can fully prove our payout strength. ”
