Chapter Seventy-Six: Three Million Taels' Business

"Pierce." Pu Ji stood up, walked to the door, and hesitated: "Xiusheng, it's all my fault, this is ...... I let people get set. ”

"I don't blame you, your order came strangely, I thought it was won by virtue of my friendship with Yuan Dagongzi, and now it seems that someone is interfering." Wang Maoru said, "You rest first, this gun is nothing, it's just two million arms." ”

After Pu Ji left, Wang Maoru paced back and forth in the room, thinking that the relationship between Jardine Matheson and Huaxing Company was shallow, and he was the chairman of Huaxing Company, the War Department must know about this business, Huaxing Company ordered goods in the United States, and Jardine Matheson Company passed through the compradors, during this period after the special approval of China, the United States and Britain, and Huaxing Company paid money, Jardine Matheson Company was a matchmaker to approve the gun license official document, the War Department paid a deposit, and his identity was Beiyang Shangwu General. However, even though the War Department ordered 300,000 yuan in arms, it abandoned them after the Huaxing Company pulled the goods to Tianjin, which was obviously a cheating for itself.

This is Xu Shuzheng's ghost again, he is Yuan Keding's person, Yuan Keding has always hoped that Yuan Shikai will be the emperor, and Xu Shuzheng is against Yuan Shikai becoming the emperor, so the War Department will cut off Yuan Keding's hands and feet first. They thought that in this way, they must have borrowed a lot of money from the bank, three million arms, enough to force themselves to go bankrupt, and they had a ruthless strategy.

Of course, this is a speculation, and the War Department would rather lose 200,000 silver than pit itself. But where did the War Department get the 200,000 silver private money? It costs 320,000 yuan to change to Yingyang, does the War Department have so much money and losers? Will Xu Shuzheng pay for it himself? To put it another way, what if this matter was not the work of the War Department, but someone else? So who will come up with two hundred thousand taels of silver to bankrupt themselves?

Early the next morning, Wang Maoru summoned Li Pinxian, deputy brigade commander, Zhu Yongquan, chief of staff, and various officers and commanders, and asked the other officers in charge to take charge of the training of recruits. After the meeting, Lu Jinsheng asked privately: "There are still twenty death row prisoners coming over today, do you continue to find new recruits to train your courage?" ”

"Practice, keep practicing." Wang Maoru said fiercely, "You go to Baoding again, Chengde to find people, and buy death row prisoners to train your courage." ”

Lu Jinsheng said: "Brigade Marshal, I'm afraid I can't buy it with great fanfare, I'm not familiar with those two places, in case someone impeaches Brigade Marshal you......"

"I'll leave this matter to you, you can do it."

"Yes, Brigade Marshal." Lukin Holy Road.

Wang Maoru returned to Beijing with Pu Ji, adjutants, and a team of pro-soldiers, and first went to the War Department to report on his work, but none of the senior officers of the War Department received him. He invited Weng Zhilin, director of the Ordnance Department, to have a closed door. Seeing that he was a celebrity a month ago, now he doesn't want to see anyone, so he has to go home and rest first, and when he returns home, the more he thinks about it, the more he holds his breath. He waved his hand hatefully, clenched his fist and smashed it on the table, the sister Hua on the side had just walked out of the inner room, and when she saw Wang Maoru's angry expression, Zuo Yuzhuo hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Someone framed me, alas." Wang Maoru sat down, looked at the two extremely beautiful mixed-race girls, smiled, and said, "I will send you back to Zuojiazhuang in a few days, but now is not the time, I'm afraid I can't protect myself." But since I promised you, I will do what I say, you can be relieved, what do you lack, let Wang Peng supply you. ”

The two girls saw that he was anxious and nodded, and Zuo Yuzhuo persuaded: "Ye has taken care of us enough, and also, we are not in a hurry, thank you, Master." ”

Wang Maoru nodded, led the team to the headquarters of Huaxing company outside the city, now Huaxing company has a lot of strength, under the concerted efforts of the two managers, Huaxing company across the clothing, food, housing and transportation and chemical industries, it is really envious of its financial resources. In this arms sale, Huaxing Company mobilized the funds of all its subsidiaries and borrowed 1 million taels of silver from Citibank as collateral for the company, and borrowed 500,000 taels of silver from Japan's Taisho Bank, so that it could scrape together enough money to order 3 million taels of silver from the US EAT Arms Company.

This matter has long been known in the company, everyone thinks that they can make a fortune, and they think that the War Department blatantly broke the contract, and at this moment the company is panicked, and some even resign. Cui Zhou, Ma Xiaoshui, Puji and others contacted all the managers early and held a meeting together to solve the problem. The managers or heads of the Huaxing branches in Beijing, Tianjin, and the provinces have all returned, including Pu Ji, who is in charge of foreign banks and business investigations, Ma Xiaoshui, general manager of Huaxing, Zhao Jiacheng, who is in charge of canneries, Cui Zhou, who is in charge of grain processing and flour factories, and Pu Na, who is recently in charge of transportation and delivery, and a dozen other small managers. Although the arms business is in the foreign bank, Pu Ji is in charge of it, and Ma Xiaoshui has no right to intervene, so although it is a foreign bank that has an accident this time, only Pu Ji can be responsible for it.

After the people arrived, Wang Maoru nodded to Pu Ji, so Pu Ji sent the War Department to Guò Jardine Matheson in Tianjin to purchase arms, but when the three million taels of silver of arms arrived at Tianjin Port, he suddenly tore up the contract and explained to the owner of the company.

After everyone scolded for a long time, Wang Maoru cleared his throat, everyone stopped their voices, and he said: "Today I asked everyone to have a meeting, which is also the first time that the company has held such a neat and solemn meeting, and I also hope that everyone will get through this difficulty together." Everyone came up with the idea that the arms were now in the warehouses of the Americans, and the storage fee was 500 taels a month, and the shipping fee for this munition was 30,000 taels, and the storage fee was 500 taels per month, as well as the interest on the loan of 1 million taels of silver from the Huaxing Group and 500,000 taels of silver from the Taisho Bank of Japan.......

When he spoke, he stared at everyone, and he was also looking at everyone's thoughts, what he said was a bit exaggerated, he is now worth 50 million US dollars, and it is more than 200 million yuan in exchange for Yingyang, and it is as much as 130 million taels of silver, who cares whether he borrows money or not. It was only in order that people would not doubt his wealth that he borrowed 800,000 yen from the Japanese Taisho Bank in China in the name of the Huaxing Group, totaling 500,000 taels of silver. This business war also made Wang Mao really see the sinister in the business war, if it weren't for his own strength, he would have gone bankrupt this time. At the same time, he also realized that there must be someone in his company, otherwise the War Department would not have been able to tear up the contract as soon as their arms arrived in Tianjin.
