readx; The dinner party held for the promotion of the recovery bond was undoubtedly a success, and Chen Jingyun made a half-hour speech to more than 100 gentry and wealthy businessmen present, in which he did not mention too much about the ongoing war in southern Jiangsu, nor did he talk too much about topics such as the Beiyang political axe, but kept telling the practical problems that China is now facing. www.biquge.info At the same time, the Nationalist Army will do its best to provide a good investment environment for industrialists, and at the same time announce in a high-profile manner that the Nationalist Army will plan an economic development zone in the suburbs of Shanghai Huajie, which will continue the model of the Fuzhou Economic Development Zone and the Hangzhou Economic Development Zone, providing perfect basic facilities and the most favorable tax system. It promised to implement full tax exemption for enterprises stationed in the development zone for the first two years, and only collect three layers of tax within five years, and only 60% of the tax within 10 years.

At the same time, Chen Jingyun pledged in the name of the soldiers at the scene that the Nationalist Army would ensure the safety of investment enterprises and the freedom of capital entry and exit at all costs.

Finally, Chen Jingyun announced that the Nationalist Army will issue the fifth tranche of the Liberation Bonds, which will be used for various infrastructure investments in the areas controlled by the Nationalist Army, including education, water conservancy facilities, and transportation facilities.

This speech on industry and industry was different from most of Chen Jingyun's previous political speeches, which were generally aimed at enthusiastic young people, and Chen Jingyun wanted to encourage them to join the Kuomintang and the Nationalist Army, or to speak most of the exciting scenes in front of the general public. However, the vast majority of people we are facing today are gentry and wealthy businessmen, and they are not so hot with a few words that they will be teased off, and then they will go to the revolution in one go, they focus on something more practical, and they want tangible benefits.

For example, what they need to know is not whether the country is rising or not, but the attitude of the Nationalist Army towards businessmen, whether it supports industrialists, whether it wants to make a profit from them or whether it wants to support them in developing business, and whether the bustling economic development zones in Fuzhou and Hangzhou are genuine, or whether Chen Jingyun made money out of them.

If these can satisfy them, plus the advantages of the national army in the war in southern Jiangsu, then some businessmen will choose to stand on Chen Jingyun's side, such as Sheng Xuanhuai. Speaking of Sheng Xuanhuai is also one of the first wealthy businessmen in China to value the National Army, the previous business cooperation with the Fuzhou Arsenal made him know a lot about the National Army, and later heard that Chen Jingyun actually opened up the Hardman Tobacco Company controlled by one hand and allowed other businessmen to inject capital and occupy shares, he just saw that Chen Jingyun is not the kind of person who only cares about immediate interests, but has great ambitions. In this case, Sheng Xuanhuai also tried to think that the Hardman Tobacco Company invested hundreds of thousands of yuan. This amount of money is nothing to Sheng Xuanhuai, and the reason why he invested it is on the one hand because he is a little jealous of the windfall profits of Hardman Tobacco Company, and on the other hand, he is also a test of the water. And the facts have proved that his Sheng Xuanhuai's test of the waters is correct, the national army is victoriously expanding its territory, and the performance of the Hardman Tobacco Company is getting better and better, and the hundreds of thousands of yuan invested before have appreciated a lot.

In this case, Sheng Xuanhuai also intends to get closer to Chen Jingyun, and he was very interested in hearing that the tower ash factory controlled by Huaxia Bank is preparing to invest in the construction of a super-large-scale ash factory in northern Zhejiang. The origin of Huaxia Bank is not a secret in the domestic upper business circles, its predecessor was the Fuzhou branch of Daqing Bank, Fuzhou was taken over by the Fujian military and political axe after the Fuzhou uprising, and then when the Fujian military and political axe sold the government-run enterprises, in a series of asset restructuring, it was jointly injected into the capital of a number of industries under the name of Chen Jingyun, and then became a private bank under the name of Chen Jingyun, and then changed its name to Huaxia Bank.

Although this Huaxia Bank has become a private bank, it still assumes the responsibility of the central bank in the Nationalist Army system, and it is the leading bank business of the Nationalist Army, Britain, and even the United States, and has begun to issue banknotes in a few places such as Fuzhou and Hangzhou, make silver and copper dollars, and act as an agent for the Nationalist Army's recovery bonds, and so on. In addition to these, Huaxia Bank also controlled all of the original Chenfu properties, including Fuding Textile Mill, Hardman Tobacco Company, Sanshi Match, Fule Electric, Pacific Shipping Company, and more importantly, Huaxia Bank also controlled a whopping 65% stake in Fuzhou Arsenal.

The Fuzhou Arsenal is no longer a simple arsenal, but a comprehensive heavy industry enterprise, which includes a light weapons department, a heavy weapons department, an ammunition department, a chemical enterprise, a Fuzhou aircraft factory, a Mawei shipyard, and a Jiangnan shipyard. Even the Southeast Iron and Steel Plant, which is now being established, was his subordinate steel department, Tower Cement was also a subsidiary department of Fuzhou Arsenal, and even some of the equipment assets of Fule Electric were previously from the subordinate institutions of Fuzhou Arsenal. Such a huge comprehensive heavy industry enterprise has occupied almost half of China's heavy industry.

Huaxia Bank, which controls these industries, can already rank among the top three state-owned banks in terms of the assets controlled by the bank itself. However, the assets controlled by these investment departments have little to do with the bank's own business, or even promote it, as can be seen from the difficulties of Huaxia Bank's banknote issuance plan.

Now, under the control of Huaxia Bank, Tower Cement wants to invest in the construction of a large-scale cement plant in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, and more importantly, because the investment amount is too large, Tower Cement Company itself does not have such capital to make large-scale investment, and can only apply for financing from the head office, that is, Huaxia Bank. However, Huaxia Bank is not only a subsidiary of Tower Cement, there are more subordinate enterprises, and now Huaxia Bank is more concerned about the construction of Southeast Iron and Steel Plant and the investment of Fule Electric Company, of course, there is inevitably to continue to provide a large amount of investment to Fuzhou Arsenal, which occupies a large amount of capital of Huaxia Bank, which can save not much for Tower Cement Company.

In order to carry out the expansion plan, the general manager of Tower Cement arrived in Shanghai from Fuzhou to attend the dinner, ready to see if he could take a large amount of money from the rich people to invest.

And Sheng Xuanhuai, who got the rumor, saw hope from it! His Hanye Pingke has always been China's largest steel company, and he is no stranger to cement, or ash, but there has not been much opportunity to make a large-scale investment in it. And now when he heard that Huaxia Bank was going to invest in this area and was looking for investors due to a shortage of funds, he had a mind.

There is no doubt that this ash factory can make money, the role of ash is known to everyone, whether it is civilian or military is a wide range of sales, before the national army in order to build a defense line in Zhenjiang, I heard that it has purchased a lot of cement, and Fuzhou and Hangzhou over the economic development zone in large-scale construction, there is also an urgent need for a large amount of cement, these are the market.

Of course, the most important reason is that this tower cement is a subsidiary of Huaxia Bank, which in turn is Chen Jingyun's private bank. In other words, even if other cement factories have no market, as long as Chen Jingyun reigns for one day, then this tower cement will not worry about sales, just the army's procurement and a large number of infrastructure led by the political axe are enough to make the tower cement profitable.

So this time, Tang Huikang introduced him to the general manager of Tower Cement, and the two sides talked happily under contact. Tower Cement has a political backing, has a potential market, and has introduced a new generation of cement production technology from the United States, what is lacking is a lot of money to invest. As for Sheng Xuanhuai, there is nothing else, just a lot of money.

So within two days, the two sides signed a cooperation plan, Sheng Xuanhuai personally invested one million yuan to inject capital, occupied 49% of the shares of the new plant, and planned to select a place in northern Zhejiang to build this large-scale cement plant.

In addition to these cooperations, Sheng Xuanhuai also purchased 500,000 yuan of Guangfu bonds.

On the night of the banquet, there were already many rich people who more or less expressed their intention to buy recovery bonds, these are people with status, and naturally it is impossible to take money to buy them or something like this, but it is not easy to regret it after saying this. This is not an ordinary drinking and bragging, and you don't need to pay for it, you praised Haikou in front of Chen Jingyun or other senior military and political officials of the National Army, even if you drank too much and said more than a zero time, you have to pinch your nose and admit it.

So on the second day of the dinner, many gentry and wealthy businessmen who attended the dinner last night successively sent housekeepers or managers and other capable people to the Shanghai branch of Huaxia Bank to buy recovery bonds with various cashier's checks or simply cash in foreign currency, pounds, dollars, and yuan. Different from the fifty or one hundred purchased by ordinary businessmen and small citizens, these people are at least tens of thousands, and this is still the ticket price for the dinner last night, if you are lucky enough to be introduced to Chen Jingyun, meet and talk to Chen Jingyun, and then can't hold back your mouth, you promise to buy recovery bonds in a daze, then it will be 100,000 yuan casually.

A few people even bought 500,000 yuan at one time, such as Sheng Xuanhuai, and several top chaebols in Zhejiang also bought 500,000 yuan and 600,000 yuan. The funny thing is that the people in the Huaxia Bank branch found that a person still took Zhou Xuexi's post to buy recovery bonds, the number is not more than 10,000, but you must know that the current Zhou Xuexi is the chief financial officer of the Beiyang Cabinet, and at the beginning, the people in the Shanghai branch of Huaxia Bank were scared, and then after a careful investigation, they found that it was just the same name, this Zhou Xuexi is a landlord in Jiangsu, and after Xinhai, he also learned from other enlightened landlords to throw away the world at home and transferred into the business world. However, within a few months, he lost a lot, and then this person was ruthless, so he exchanged most of his family wealth for recovery bonds, and he was ready to sit on the mountain and not do business.

In addition to these serious businessmen and tycoons, there were also many famous gentry who also came to buy, but the amount of purchases ranged from hundreds to thousands, and their behavior was more of a gesture, which could be regarded as advertising the recovery bonds.

In just two days, the fifth tranche of the Nationalist Army's recovering bonds has sold a huge amount of 5 million, and it is still being sold in large quantities, and the Salary Raising Office expects that the sales of the recovering bonds will reach about 8 million in the next month. If the Nationalist Army accidentally succeeds in the Northern Expedition, it is possible that the recovery bonds will run out, and if an unlucky one is defeated in southern Jiangsu, let alone continue to sell, the recovery bonds that have been sold will immediately become waste paper.

In the final analysis, this recovery bond is also a high-risk political investment bond.
