The matter of ordering arms still has to be discussed with Commodus.

After lunch, Zhong Yi rushed to Jiangbei non-stop to meet with Commod.

"Zhong, you finally think of me again." As soon as they met, Commodus gave Zhong Yi a warm bear hug.

Commodus's enthusiasm is for a reason, firstly, because "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" are selling well, and nearly half of the 10 million copies of the first three editions of the first book and the 10 million copies of the first edition of the second book have been sold, so it can be seen that the market is almost saturated.

However, it is not easy to achieve such sales results in the current economic downturn, which also shows how popular Zhong Yi's film is.

As a result, Commodus also began to look forward to the third part of Harry Potter, as well as another epic magic in Zhong Yi's mouth - a song of ice and fire.

Of course, this is not the most pleasing thing for Commodus.

No matter how hot Zhong Yi's sale is, it is only the Commodus family that profits.

What really excites Commodus is the momentum of Yinfa Bank's development!

Since the completion of the Yinxi Industrial Park, dozens of enterprises have settled in every day, and so far, there are more than 2,000 enterprises of all kinds settled in the Yinxi Industrial Park, including more than 1,000 foreign-funded enterprises.

The presence of such a large number of Chinese and foreign enterprises is bound to bring a huge demand for loans.

Because enterprises need funds to build factories, they also need funds to purchase means of production and develop businesses.

Due to the agreement signed between Yinfa Bank and the Yinjiang Municipal Government, all enterprises in Yinxi Industrial Park must borrow from Yinfa Bank, which makes Yinfa Bank's lending business unprecedentedly prosperous.

The unprecedented prosperity of the lending business has made Yinfa Bank have the confidence to open a higher annual interest rate, which in turn helps Yinfa Bank to attract more deposit business today, so as to form a virtuous circle, more deposits, more loans, and Yinfa Bank's profits are also skyrocketing by leaps and bounds!

In less than half a year, the scale of Yinfa Bank's lending has reached 100 million.

This 100 million is not legal tender, but the pound sterling, and Yinfa Bank is settled in pounds.

Seeing that Yinfa Bank was so prosperous, Citigroup, HSBC and other old banks finally couldn't sit still, so they took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Yinfa Bank and asked to cooperate with Yinfa Bank.

The specific way to cooperate is to take shares.

Since it is a shareholding, it involves the valuation of the bank.

In the just-concluded first round of negotiations, representatives of Citibank and HSBC offered Yinfa Bank a valuation of up to 10 million pounds.

This means that if you sell your shares at this price, Commodus will get 1.5 million pounds!

For Commodus, this is definitely an astronomical amount, because the capital he invested in Yinfa Bank was only 150,000 pounds.

In less than half a year, 150,000 pounds became 1.5 million!

Of course, it is Zhong Yi who earns more, and he can get a huge sum of five million pounds!

"Zhong, you know what, you're rich!" Commodus couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and said, "Just now, representatives of HSBC and Citibank have issued a valuation of 10 million pounds for our Yinfa Bank!" At this valuation, your shares could sell for £5 million! My God! ”

"You agree?" Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Commodus, this can't be so stupid, right?" ”

"Oh no, no, Zhong, you misunderstood." Commodus waved his hand again and again, and said, "You are the controlling shareholder of Yinfa Bank, and for such a big matter, if you don't nod us, we can't sign the agreement." ”

"It's good that I didn't sign it." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "The valuation of 10 million pounds is low. ”

"I feel low, too." Commodus said, "If we get the New York Stock Exchange or the London Stock Exchange now, the valuation of our Yinfa Bank will definitely not be only 10 million pounds, 50 million pounds is possible, our performance is so good, looking at the world, I am afraid there will be no second bank performance can compare with us." ”

"Yes, don't sign it if the valuation is less than 50 million." Zhong Yi said, "After all, we didn't take the initiative to ask for this, so it's Citigroup and HSBC that are anxious." ”

"That's what I thought too." Commodus nodded when he heard this, and said, "Zhong, I have one more good thing to tell you, the three editions of the first Harry Potter and the front page of the second are sold out. After a pause, he added, "My grandfather asked me to ask, when will you be able to finish the third part of Harry Potter?" ”

"It's coming." Zhong Yi said, "How many copies of the third first part will be printed?" ”

"This time it's as you wish." Commodus laughed, "The first printing is 20 million copies!" ”

In the first two big hits, the Commodus family finally became bolder.

Zhong Yi nodded, and said: "Royalty payment is still the old rule, prepaid in advance?" ”

"No problem." Commodus shook the checkbook in his hand, smiled and said, "The six million dollars of remuneration paid in advance by the publisher has been received, and you will receive the money when you deliver it." ”

"That's great!" Zhong Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, this sum of money was really timely.

After a pause, Zhong Yi continued: "You don't have to give me this money, just call the Winchester Arms Company, and then help me order a full set of equipment for twelve beggars and mechanics." ”

"Oh Tfak? Twelve Mechanics? Commodus said, "Zhong, are you serious?" ”

"Seriously, of course." Zhong Yi said, "According to the price we agreed on before, the equipment of one division is 500,000 yuan, and six million dollars is just enough to order a full set of equipment for 12 American mechanics." ”

"But the question is, why do you want so much equipment?" Commodus said puzzledly, "Your Zhedong Coastal Defense Corps only has three detachments, and the equipment of three divisions is enough, right?" ”

Zhong Yi said abruptly: "Have you forgotten that in addition to being the chief of staff of the East Zhejiang Coastal Defense Corps, I am also the director of the staff of the Zhejiang Provincial Anti-Enemy Self-Defense Regiment, which is a group army, and the full set of equipment for 12 divisions may not be enough, if it weren't for the remuneration, I would even want to order equipment for 50 divisions." ”

"Equipment for 50 divisions? God, you must be crazy. Commodus drew a cross on his chest again and again, "You are not Chang Kaishen, this is not what you should do." ”

Zhong Yi said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and help me contact Little Winchester, and trade through the Zhongyi steamship company according to the original channel." ”

"Okay." Commodus shrugged and said, "But Harry Potter's manuscript ......"

"I'll give it to you tomorrow." Zhong Yi said, "Actually, I've already written about it. ”
