It has been open for a few days, and there are really not many people who come to Qilu Bank to handle business, one is that there are not many rich people in the Transvaal Republic, and second, the local Boers and natives are not familiar with the Qilu Bank, an outsider, and no one dares to rashly deposit money into it, as for loans, there is nothing special, who goes to the bank opened by foreigners to take loans?

As a colony of the British and the Dutch, most of the local people use English as the main language of communication, and almost every person brought by Jiang Shenghua must know some basic English language, so that they can gain a firm foothold in South Africa as soon as possible. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the bank, almost all the helpers brought by Jiang Shenghua were scattered, and all that was left in the bank were the guys brought from Qilu Bank and the translators hired from the local area.

"Excuse me, is your manager here? I would like to ask to see the manager of your bank, I wonder if I can ......"

The two men were cleaning the floor in the hall when a gentle voice rang out.

When the two of them looked up, a foreigner walked in and came in, holding a civilization stick in his hand, both wearing a tall gentleman's hat and a tuxedo, and at first glance they could see that this was a gentleman with a deep civilization and cultivation.

"Our manager is right behind, what do you call it?"

A guy asked in a less proficient English.

"I am Rodman, the Minister of Finance of the Transvaal Republic, and I would like to ask to see the manager of your bank, and please inform me."

Rodman said politely.

The man's heart is shocked, the chief financial officer of a country, the status is exactly the same as that of Mr. Chunfu, and the status is very noble!

The man did not dare to slack off, and replied: "Mr. Chief, please wait, I will go and report to you!" ”

The guy hurriedly walked to the back and said, "Manager Kong, Manager Kong, someone is coming from the front, and I want to see you by name!" ”

Kong Youlin frowned, Jiang Shenghua must have the final say in the entire South African affairs, but externally, she is the head and manager of Qilu Bank.

"Who wants to see me?"

"He said he was the Minister of Finance of the Transvaal Republic, Rodman......"

Kong Youlin's eyes lit up, Rodman, the Chief Financial Officer of the Transvaal Republic! It's a big fish! Absolutely big fish, you must trap him!

"Hurry up, please, hurry up!"

Kong Youlin shouted, "Forget it, such a character, I should personally go to welcome people in!" ”

Kong Youlin tidied up his clothes and walked out quickly!

"Mr. Rodman, welcome, welcome! Kong Youlin, General Manager of Lower Qilu Bank South Africa Branch, welcomes your arrival! ”

Kong Youlin laughed and said in fluent English, he has been with Rong Hong for a long time, and he is very proficient in English.

Rodman glanced at Kong Youlin in surprise, he didn't expect that Chinese people could also speak fluent English!

"Mr. Manager, please forgive me for taking the liberty of interrupting!"

Rodman stretched out his right hand, and the two of them shook it tightly.

Kong Youlin invited Rodman to his office, and the two of them did it.

"Dear Mr. Chief, I wonder what you are doing here, whether you want to save money, take out a loan, or have other official duties?"

Kong Youlin asked.

Rodman took a sip of the tea on the table and replied, "Friends from afar, you have come all the way to the Transvaal for business, and as the host, I, the Treasurer, should greet you and welcome you. ”

Kong Youlin hurriedly thanked him.

"Mr. Kong, I won't tell you, this time I came here, and there is another thing I want to ask your bank for help......

Rodman chatted with Kong Youlin for a few words, and suddenly said with a straight face.

Kong Youlin said with a smile: "Mr. Rodman, why are you so polite, we are new to the city, there are not many places that can help you, but as long as we can, we will naturally do our best to help, Chinese have always had the virtue of being kind and helping others." ”

"That's right, although our Boers have built a civilized country in the industrial age, but in the south, we have a barbaric neighbor, or we can say that we are an extremely barbaric opponent, that is, the English, in order to obtain the land of the whole of southern Africa, has been implementing a policy of suppression against our Boers, which has made our country's development very difficult, and we are also facing a huge financial dilemma. To solve our urgent needs! ”

Rodman said bitterly, if there is a way, no one is willing to ask a stranger for a loan, there is no way, under the persecution of the British, where is there willing to lend to the Boers?

Sure enough, as His Majesty expected, this Transvaal Republic government is really facing a huge predicament, but this is a rare opportunity for the Chinese Empire!

Kong Youlin's heart was shocked, and he respected His Majesty even more.

"Mr. Rodman, although our Huaxia Empire has not established diplomatic relations with your country, as your friend, I am willing to help you, I don't know how much loan you need to tide over this difficult time?"

Kong Youlin asked.

Rodman hesitated for a moment and replied: "Mr. Kong, we continue to solve the current financial difficulties faced by the government, and if we want to get through this predicament, we need at least 300,000 pounds, and if we want our political situation to stabilize, we may need more, at least 1 million pounds......"

Kong Youlin frowned and replied: "Mr. Rodman, the amount of a single loan given to me by our head office is 360,000 pounds, and under special circumstances, it can be increased to 500,000 pounds, but even so, it is impossible to answer the amount of one million pounds you requested......

500,000 pounds!

Rodman's heart was shocked, he didn't think about getting 300,000 pounds in one go, even if he could get 100,000 pounds or 150,000 pounds, and temporarily cope with the government's funds, but he didn't expect Kong Youlin to say that he wanted to stabilize the entire political situation in one breath The 500,000 pounds needed!

"Mr. Kong, do you mean that you can come up with three hundred thousand pounds to aid the government of our republic?"

Rodman asked urgently, with a hint of tremor in his voice!

"Of course, you are the government of a country, and is there any institution or individual with better credibility than the government? 200,000 pounds, I am in charge of lending this money to you, and, as a friend of your country, I am willing to lend this money to you free of charge, without any interest, and the repayment period can be five to ten years, so that your repayment pressure will be much less......"
