Chapter 225 Financial Symposium
Hearing Zhao Dongyun suddenly say this, and his tone did not seem to be very good, which made Xiling feel great pressure. Although he thought he had done nothing wrong, the more he worked with Zhao Dongyun for a long time, the more he could feel the great pressure brought by Zhao Dongyun.
In the eyes of many military and political dignitaries, Zhao Dongyun was extremely kind to soldiers and students when inspecting the barracks and schools. Asking about cold and warm can almost make soldiers and schools feel Zhao Dongyun's concern every month.
But they know that Zhao Dongyun has never been a kind person who treats his subordinates and welcomes them barefoot. Officials, especially senior military and political officials, are difficult to get anything from Zhao Dongyun. Even if Zhao Dongyun's name for them is mostly brother, but whoever hears it knows that he is You're welcome. If you don't understand, you will directly reply to Brother Zhao, Ziyang and so on, the end will be very tragic...
Maybe this attitude is difficult for ordinary people to get along with, but from another perspective, Zhao Dongyun's attitude makes many officials, especially those senior officials in their 50s and 60s, regard Zhao Dongyun as the object of loyalty, rather than young men under the age of 30.
"Dip away these fixed assets as soon as possible and withdraw the funds. A batch of artillery ordered by the military from Germany has arrived next month, and the final payment has not been given. In addition, there are also many orders from Fuyuan Machinery Factory. The board of directors has forwarded the report to me, saying that we have owed them 600,000 taels of silver. If this continues, their funds will be difficult to turn around.
Fuyuan Machinery Factory is a commercial enterprise. If it wants to produce ordnance, it has to purchase various raw materials and pay workers' salaries. Among other things, the monthly salary of tens of thousands of workers alone is not a small amount. Nowadays, all kinds of ordnance products of Fuyuan Machinery Factory are purchased by Fengjun. If Fengjun only takes ordnance and does not pay money In a few months, the Fuyuan machine factory will go bankrupt. If the Fuyuan machine factory goes bankrupt, who will produce arms for Zhao Dongyun?
Xiong Xiling is unwilling. He is already short of funds. The millions of fixed assets he has lost are excellent assets, and he is still ready to use a large part of them. If this is filled into the bottomless hole of military expenditure, then Fengtian Bank, which he has worked hard to prepare. What should I do? What about currency issuance?
Seeing that Zhao Dongyun was going to arbitrarily invest this batch of funds in military expenses, Xiong Xiling did not care about anything else, and immediately said quickly: "This batch of funds and Finance Bureau was originally used as * promotion funds, coupled with Fengtian Bank's own funds, which can barely set up the shelf of * issuance. If this is moved If you use it, I'm afraid * will be released!"
When Zhao Dongyun heard this, he did not answer anything directly, but looked at Jia Bingyun, president of Fengtian Bank: "Jian, how is your * issuance preparation? Is there any difficulty in the principal?"
Jia Bingyun, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, went to the United Kingdom to study at his own expense on the eve of Jiawu. After graduation, he returned to China to take over the family business and successively reformed his own industry. After the year, he devoted himself to the financial industry and founded Canglong! In particular, his family is in Xuzhou with the Zhao family. In the past, one of Zhao Dongyun's daughters is married to Jia Bingyun's eldest brother, so to some extent, the two families can be regarded as in-laws.
When Zhao Dongyun made his fortune in the north and founded Fuyuan Yarn Factory and Fuyuan Machine Factory many times, he also asked Jia Bingyun to raise shares. He also owned shares in many subordinate companies of Fuyuan Company, and also co-invested with Fuyuan Company to set up a business in Shanghai. Ye Bank, called 'Fulong Bank', although the scale of the bank is not large and its business is limited to Shanghai, this is also the first time that Fuyuan Company has been involved in the financial industry.
Because he has a close relationship with the Zhao family and is also a rare financial talent, Zhao Dongyun, after founding Fengtianguan Silver, he deeply felt that although the group of foreign officials in the Finance Bureau can handle government affairs, they are still not as good as those professionals, so he considered hiring professional financial talents to take care of them. Fengtian official bank ticket number. At the beginning, he was going to directly call Henry Shide, the financial director of Fuyuan Company, to be the general manager of Fengtian Bank. Henry Shide has senior financial experience and was hired by Fuyuan Company directly from Wall Street in the United States for financial restructuring. After the industrial restructuring of Fuyuan He took the opportunity to serve as the financial director of Fuyuan Company.
But this person is an American. When he asked an American to be the head of the central banks of the three eastern provinces, he always felt wrong and was suspected of betraying the country, so Zhao Dongyun had to find someone else. Finally, he took a fancy to Jia Bingyun, who is closely related to the Zhao family. Naturally, his financial management ability is naturally not as good as that of Fuyuan Company every year. Henry's who paid tens of thousands of dollars and gave generous incentives to stay, but compared with those who play finance and finance in contemporary China, Jia Bingyun is also a first-class level.
Jia Bingyun said: "The release of * has entered the final stage. The printing machine imported from the United States has begun to be debugged. It is expected that the mass production stage can be completed within three months. In addition, the steel gravure master hired from the United States has arrived in Yingkou in the first half of the year and has begun the engraving work. It is expected that The first batch of models can be released in a month!"
"In order to ensure the credit value of *, the bank takes the existing deposit bank as the principal. At present, the bank acts as a total of 5 million taels of government treasury silver. In addition, the corporate deposits absorbed are 24 million taels, and the private household reserves are 8 million taels, with a total of 37 million taels of treasury silver. In addition, there are gold, Japanese yen, US dollars, British pounds, rubles and other prices. The total value of gold reserves is about 130,000 pounds.
"The above inventory silver will be used as a margin for * issuance. The face value of * is 1 yuan, 50 cents, 20 cents, 15 cents, 2 cents, and 7 points. The value of the new * will be compared with the new silver dollar and copper dollar of the Mint, mainly exchanged for one silver dollar.
The first issue* is expected to be issued at 100 million yuan!"
After Jia Bingyun said this, the words changed: "However, although the reserves issued by * are sufficient, the current branches of our bank are still too few. Most of the branches are concentrated in Fengtian Province. If you want to fully issue *, it is necessary to fully lay branches for Jilin, Heilongjiang and Guannei areas. As far as the bank's existing funds are concerned, it will be very difficult to complete the branch laying within half a year!"
A large amount of deposits in this bank are not the bank's own money. Although the bank can issue this money as a reserve* and can also be used for loans, it must not be used directly, because the money is all customers, not the bank's own, and Fengtian Bank's own assets are actually not much, and it is large. Some assets are fixed assets, and the activity funds that can be freed up are actually only about one million yuan, so if you want to open Fengtian Bank to every prefecture and county in the three eastern provinces in a short time, you need a lot of financial support, and it is also necessary to open a branch!
After listening, Zhao Dongyun said: "*Issuance is related to the overall financial situation of our three eastern provinces, and naturally we should pay attention to it. However, *'s issuance can't be said to ascend step by step. It always needs to be done step by step. Since Fengtian Bank does not have many branches in Heilongjiang, Jilin and Guanland, then * The release will first be issued in Fengtian Province. This branch will be opened there, and then it will be issued there. There is no need to rush to spread inside and outside the customs overnight!"
I have to eat one bite at a time. At once, I want to open Fengtian Bank to every corner of the three eastern provinces. I want to issue hundreds of millions of * at a time. It is a typical step that is too big. Maybe it will be pulled!
Zhao Dongyun said so, and Xiong Xiling naturally said that it was not easy to say anything. He immediately said that after converting the lost assets into cash, he would allocate most of them to the military as funds.
As time went by, it was soon noon. Zhao Dongyun, who had a meeting all morning, looked at the people. It was not easy to call so many people here. Anyway, the meeting had to continue in the afternoon, so they were not allowed to go back to eat separately. He immediately ordered people to set up a table in the front hall of the front yard, himself and The public present had lunch together.
Because there are many people and almost 20 people are left to eat, people will naturally not set up a large Chinese round table, so that there are too many people to sit down, but directly on a Western-style square table.
Zhao Dongyun's housekeeper and several other servants followed Zhao Dongyun to live in the Li family for several years. Naturally, this Chinese or Western-style banquet was captured. In a while, even Xu's housekeeper took off his coat, but changed into a Western-style tuxedo and served the dishes with the maids.
However, this also looks strange. Generally speaking, male waiters serve dishes and wine in such Western-style banquets, but in China, waiters are replaced by maids. In addition, women are generally present at such banquets abroad, but in China, even Western-style banquets are different from men and women. In ordinary banquets There is a table for male guests, and there is another table for female guests, not to mention that the big guys didn't bring any family today, so there are all kinds of men in a big table.
Just from this lunch, you can see the so-called 'combination of Chinese and Western'. Many foreign things have changed their taste when they arrive in China, not only their living habits, but also their thoughts!
After everyone used *, in order to ease the atmosphere, Zhao Dongyun asked everyone to sit on the sofa in the study next to him and prepare for a symposium.
After sitting down, the maids brought wine, cigars and cigarettes. Several people who were addicted to cigarettes did not have too much. They picked up cigars or cigarettes and smoked. Although the atmosphere relaxed, the business did not stop. Zhao Dongyun also picked up a cigarette after sitting down and smoked it. After washing his mouth, he said, "Agriculture and Forestry Bureau and Although the Finance Bureau can squeeze out millions, it is still far from enough for our financial gap next year. You can say any good ways to open source one by one. Let's discuss it together, and we can always find a way to solve the current financial dilemma!"
