Chapter 119
Guan Zhuofan thought, okay, the Sanchi Coal Mine, which Mitsui relied on in the original time and space, is now in the hands of Lao Tzu, and it is probably impossible for the "Mitsui Chaebol" to appear in this time and space.
What the shogunate is doing now is closer to "privatization" than China's "official supervision and commercial operation", that is, the minerals originally controlled by the shogunate or the feudal state are transferred to large merchants at a "suitable" price. With Dapuqing's political background, strong financial resources and keen sense of smell, it is natural to have his hands on it and feast on it.
"Outside of the coal mines," Mr. Ohura said, "there are also copper mines." Bezi Copper Mine, Asia's premier, is also the number one in the world-Wang Ye's intention? ”
As he spoke, his pupils cut water, and the autumn waves flowed.
Guan Zhuofan felt that the whole person seemed to be immersed in a pool of warm spring water, and the fragrance on the surface of the water was dense and drunk.
He couldn't help but think of the fairy time when he "bathed with beauty" in Changzhou. What are Yuda Onsen, Yuno Onsen, Yumoto Onsen, Omoteyama Onsen, Kawaden Onsen, Yautaniwan Onsen...... Hehe, every time you "soak in the bath", the periphery of the hot springs is under martial law; In the hot springs, there are only him and ...... Ahem, the hot spring water is slippery and creamy.
Public friendship still exists, and private feelings are gone.
He settled down and said, "Bezi Copper Mine? This, it seems, is not as good as the Sanchi Coal Mine, I'm afraid it is...... It's going to be a bit of a hindrance, right? I know that the Besko Copper Mine has always been the work of the Sumitomo family, who got permission from the shogunate to start operating the Besko Copper Mine around the Genroku period, right? So far, well, it's been almost a hundred and seventy years. ”
Da Puqing smiled slightly and said: "What a hero and hero, what a 'barrier'. What is counted? Besides. Besko Copper's head. In the end, there is no engraved word 'Sumitomo', if it is done well, it is natural for their family to do it, if it is not done well, why should they still have a corpse meal? I think it's very ordinary. ”
Dapu Qing's words are actually ambiguous words.
Sumitomo started out in copper ore refining and copper processing. After much work, he developed the technique of extracting silver from blister copper, which is regarded as the "authentic of Nanfukiman" in the industry, and Osaka, where its merchants are located, has become the center of Japan's copper refining industry.
On this basis, Sumitomo acquired the right to mine the Besko Copper Mine, laying the foundation for the family's century-old foundation.
Sumitomo is actually very careful about making Besko Copper Mine. Of course, if it is stubborn, it can also be referred to as "very average". For example, the "Western method" has not yet been adopted - Western equipment and technology have not been introduced.
Guan Zhuofan smiled: "I'll see." Mrs. Aqing is the heroine among women! ”
Oura Qing smiled: "The prince praises falsely." ”
In Guan Zhuofan's mind, there was a picture of the Gatling gun frantically throwing bullet casings, and the ground was yellow and clear, but it was all copper!
At the shooting range, I once asked myself: Where is my copper mine? Now, I know where my copper mine is.
Guan Zhuofan made up his mind: Get this other copper mine over!
"That's what you're saying - it's really time for this Sumitomo family to abdicate and make way for Xian! In this case, Madame should just let it go, and whatever she wants me to say and do, I will do as she is told. ”
Oura's eyes shone warmly.
For a while, Guan Zhuofan had the illusion he once had: the woman in front of him was like lava, and her whole body emitted a dazzling and fiery light.
Da Puqing stood up and squatted down: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
The range of action is not large, but it is very standard.
After sitting down again, this dazzling light disappeared from Oura's body, and she became the gentle and graceful "Yamato Nadeshiko" again.
"This matter," Guan Zhuofan asked idly, "does Madame have anything to do with it?" ”
Da Puqing smiled and said, "Back to the prince, I have come up with a way out of a random way, but I don't know if it will work?" ”
"Please."
"The Sumitomo family opened a 'harmony meeting' in Osaka and did a mortgage business, well, it is roughly like the money bank, the ticket number of the Celestial Empire. In fact, the capital of this 'merger and peace meeting' came from the Bezi Copper Mine, and a lot of the money absorbed was used in turn for the Beezi Copper Mine. ”
Guan Zhuofan's heart moved: "And peace"? The original time and space, that was the predecessor of Sumitomo Bank.
He vaguely guessed Ourakei's train of thought.
"I think," Opu Kei continued, "this 'merger and harmony', if there are one or two large sums of money that cannot be recovered, and at the same time, there are several big customers, coincidentally, come to withdraw cash, then ......."
Speaking of this, Opu Qing smiled again and stopped.
Guan Zhuofan gasped slightly, and said secretly in his heart: This woman is ruthless enough.
He nodded and said: "If the Sumitomo family is not successful, they have to cash in with the Bezi copper mine, well, the same way has the duty to help, at that time, 'Qing Ji' is not good to sit idly by." ”
"Yes, the prince is noble, and Aqing obeys the king's orders."
Dapuqing's move is quite similar to the fighting method of Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang in the original time and space, Li Hongzhang and his family are to cut off Zuo Zongtang's wings and cut off his financial resources. Hu Xueyan's huge career was squeezed by people with intentions from "Fukang", which produced a chain reaction, and finally collapsed completely.
However, Hu Xueyan's defeat, Li Hongzhang, Sheng Xuanhuai, and Shao Youlian's blows were just pushed from the outside, and the fundamental reason was that there was a big problem in his own business: the stall was getting bigger and bigger, the losses were getting heavier and heavier, and the gourd was lifted up, and finally, the hole could not be covered, and the capital chain was completely broken.
Sumitomo's current situation, Guan Zhuofan does not know very well. However, the mining industry in this era is indeed a "capital-intensive enterprise", and it eats a lot of money; The "Peace Conference" has just been established, and its strength is limited, so it may not be without an opportunity.
Besides, since you have enough political power in your hands, if you need to, you will take action when you need to, and you don't necessarily have to take the road of "business war" from beginning to end.
The four major chaebols of Japan in the original time and space: Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Yasuda. Among them, Mitsui lost the Miike Coal Mine, and Sumitomo lost the Besko Copper Mine, so there was no need to count on the "chaebol".
Mitsubishi's Yataro Iwasaki, at this time, should be nested in the official business hall "Kaiseikan" in the Tosa Domain, being a small official, depressed. Japan's water transportation market has been controlled by "Keiji", and Yataro Iwasaki wants to use the "old technique" of time and space in a different day, and the probability of success is close to zero.
Yasuda Zenjiro Yasuda opened a money village called "Yasudaya" in Edo three years ago, and although the scale is not too large so far, it can be regarded as a smooth development. This person is a financial wizard, not to be underestimated, but to remind Dapu Qing to pay attention.
Japan's chaebol was born against the backdrop of the Meiji Restoration and the reunification of the country, and without this background, no matter how capable the people concerned were, it would not be possible to become a chaebol in the true sense of the word.
Guan Zhuofan was thinking about it, and Da Puqing spoke softly again: "Aqing still has a love for Prince Chen." ”
What else do you have to do?
"Madame, please."
"Yes. I think 'Qing Kee' should set up its own silk reeling factory. ”
