Due to the late start, the Morgan consortium had just obtained the position of second counselor at the U.S. Consulate in Wuhu, China. The delegate also knew about the relationship between the BJP and the Boston consortium before he came, and this time the killer feature they brought was "credit".

"As long as the People's Party uses our Morgan account, when you buy machinery and equipment, you can enjoy a credit with a considerable amount of money and preferential interest rates set specifically for you."

"I'm going to make you laugh, you know that for a political entity like us, the trade balance is going to be a final balance. The Boston consortium, for example, will think that they are making us too much money, and that money ends up being made by the Morgan consortium. They want us to give them something back. At least in return for having a meeting with them. Wang Bin said with his usual sincerity. In many cases, if it is hidden, it will make people think crankily, and communication is not only about the other party to know what they want to do, but more importantly, to let the other person know why they are doing it.

The representative of the Morgan consortium was a little surprised, and Wang Bin's remarks revealed some details of weakness, such as the fact that the Boston consortium was able to threaten the BJP with the fact that it would "make the BJP money". However, he will never naively take advantage of this "weakness" to make a fuss, at least not now. After all, the Morgan consortium made a considerable profit from the BJP. What's more, he didn't completely think that Wang Bin would show weakness like this. Business is business, and the Boston consortium's massive purchase of the BJP's raw silk is by no means humanitarian or charity. The BJP's raw silk is of high quality, in sufficient supply, and very competitive in the international market.

Looking at Wang Bin carefully, the representative wanted to figure out what Wang Bin's hole cards were. The representative did not know that Wang Bin thought that the Morgan consortium style was crude and cold, just as Wang Bin did not know that the representative of the Morgan consortium felt that Wang Bin had a puritan style. The Morgan consortium naturally knows that the BJP is not a conglomerate, let alone a family system. As a senior representative of the People's Party, Wang Bin does not have to be so ascetic even if he is not poor and extravagant.

In fact, Wang Bin and his colleagues from the People's Party lived in very ordinary hotels and ate very ordinary meals. In addition to resting, every day in addition to reading books is to go to the factory to investigate, and the rest of the time is to talk about business. Neither drink nor look for women. If it's a poor egg, I won't talk about it, but Wang Bin himself is talking about a million-dollar business. At least an American at his level, in the face of such a boring life, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it for a long time, but Wang Bin and them are at ease. From Americans' relatively Puritan perspective, it's not easy to find another word to describe it than abstinence.

"Do you have a final idea?" The representative asked.

"Nothing will satisfy everyone, but for a political entity like us, we want to avoid risks and dissatisfaction as much as possible. Unless ......"

"Unless what?" The representative of the Morgan consortium couldn't help but lean forward slightly and listened more attentively to Wang Bin's words.

"Unless there are some benefits that are big enough for us to take such a risk." Wang Bin replied.

"Huh." The representative roughly had an outline, "First of all, what do you think if the line of credit could reach $50 million?" ”

"What we can guarantee is that all the credit will be used to purchase machinery and equipment." Wang Bin responded immediately.

"When it comes to transfers, you don't have to worry about the problems between us and the Boston consortium. Once the contract is signed, it will come into force. Representatives of the Morgan consortium made this assurance.

Wang Bin scolded in his heart, this representative inevitably underestimated himself too much! The Boston consortium will not be stupid enough to withhold the money and not give it, this is not that the Boston consortium is unwilling to deduct the money in its own bank for an extra period, but if the money is not paid on time, where will the credit of the Boston bank go? If the bank loses credit, it will be a dead end.

Wang Bin nodded slightly, refusing to speak on this stupid question.

"So what else do you have to worry about?" A representative of the Morgan consortium asked.

"You know, there's going to be a lot of economic volatility in the United States, and in our interests, if we can buy the bottom, we're not going to let it go. What do you think about this? Wang Bin finally got the question to the point. The BJP emphasizes the capitalist economic crisis, and the economic crisis, together with the economic crisis, is the direct result of the bankruptcy of many enterprises. A lot of equipment that was once expensive can be purchased at a very low price. If the People's Party does this, it needs to have enough support in the United States.

"Do you want our JPMorgan consortium to provide investment opportunities?" It stands for a single straight point.

"The investment opportunity is certainly a big chunk, and we also need a lot of cheap equipment." Wang Bin explained his meaning more clearly. The Morgan consortium is by no means a good man, but it is unlikely that they will break into China to the detriment of the BJP. Similarly, the BJP is completely helpless to do anything to the Morgan consortium on the other side of the Pacific. In the case of a lawsuit in the United States, the BJP will not be able to prevail against the Morgan consortium. Now the two sides are in a "mutually beneficial cooperation" relationship, and if these minimum mutual trusts cannot reach a certain level, Wang Bin will not dare to bet easily.

"If you're willing to let us invest in China, these worries are completely unnecessary." The representative replied.

This is the simplest solution, and it is also the one that the BJP is now extremely difficult to accept. On the one hand, he advertises that he represents the interests of workers, and on the other hand, he accepts foreign companies to invest in China. This kind of decision is Chen Keneng's decision, and Wang Bin can't make such a huge decision.

"I will ask Chairman Chen Ke about his attitude on this matter." Wang Bin gave an answer.

In the party class, Wang Bin heard Chen Ke tell a point of view, whether it is the current capitalist system or the socialist system being built in the base area, the core of any system revolves around the use of means of production, labor, and capital. The difference between the two systems is whether capital controls politics or politics controls capital.

The problem is that he never expected that the day when he faced this level of problems and was troubled by this kind of problems would come so early. But this is also something that cannot be helped, compared with the base areas, the United States is really an extremely powerful existence. The BJP is in a weak position in terms of the abundance of capital, its industrial strength, and its ability to operate capital. If you want to get back the weakness on the battlefield, you can only rely on the BJP as a political entity with the bargaining chips of the government and the army.

Whether capital controls politics or politics controls capital is really a question. Wang Bin couldn't help but admire Chen Ke's foresight. At this time, he also understood some of his thoughts, and Wang Bin sincerely hoped that he could be the strong party leading the situation when dealing with foreign capital. Instead of being in a dilemma like now.

Wang Bin's troubles are the troubles of happiness. One of the two major political entities that framed the trade framework agreement, the central government of Beiyang did not have to deal with these enthusiastic and positive business partners. It is not one or two companies that come to seek cooperation from the central government of Beiyang, and these partners are seeking loans from Beiyang.

Of course, because of the support of the quota trade agreement, the lending this time is far less stringent than the previous conditions. But even so, Yuan Shikai was also angry. If it were not involved in the expansion of the army, Beiyang's financial problems would have finally eased. And at Chen Ke's suggestion, the soybeans in the Northeast were tried by Yuan Shikai to be sold to foreign businessmen, which immediately caused a sensation and orders poured in. Coupled with the tax revenue of people's livelihood enterprises such as honeycomb coal built by the People's Party in Beijing, Tianjin and other places, Yuan Shikai has little money to spare, and he will not have to borrow money to survive. But this is the way the world is, when you are short of money, you beg your grandfather to tell your grandmother to borrow it, and it is difficult to die at that time. When there is no shortage of money, there are a lot of people who want to lend you money for interest.

Yuan Shikai didn't want to deal with this group of people, his trouble was that he was looking at a good export-driven economic plan, but Beiyang couldn't give full play to the advantages of this plan. When Yan Fu first put forward the plan, it also shocked the Beiyang cabinet a little. When it comes to specific implementation, Yan Fu shows his great shortcomings in transactional work. The words "His Majesty is incompetent" is undoubtedly a portrayal of Yan Fu at this time. Yuan Shikai could understand the resistance of the Beiyang cabinet members to Yan Fu, Yan Fu, as the commander of the bare pole, held the title of prime minister of the cabinet, and in fact he could not get any cabinet members to obey his orders.

Regarding such a situation, Yuan Shikai had a pleasure in his heart. The People's Party has dominated the situation for too long, so long that Yuan Shikai is unwilling to look directly at this time. Even if Yan Fu's defeat at the moment is actually not in the interests of Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai is happy to see Yan Fu's embarrassment.

Until Yan Fu proposed to visit abroad, the British side had invited Yan Fu to visit the UK. Yuan Shikai felt that his approach of standing idly by might not be appropriate. Even so, there was no determination to veto the matter. After all, Yan Fu is a member of the People's Party, and after he leaves the cabinet because of a foreign visit, the Beiyang cabinet will become a real Beiyang cabinet again. After thinking about it for a while, Yuan Shikai finally agreed to Yan Fu's request for a visit. In January 1912, Premier Yan Fu boarded a visiting cruise ship in Tianjin.

Xu Shichang, who sent away the biggest heart disease of the Beiyang cabinet and served as vice premier, regained his vitality again, "I think foreign trade should be vigorously promoted." Xu Shichang came up with his own plan, and the cabinet members listened to it and laughed secretly in their hearts. The whole plan was completely plagiarized from the plan proposed by Yan Fu, and he didn't even change the words. Xu Shichang didn't care what his cabinet officials thought at all, he had already decided that he wanted to show his strength in this matter.
