    Zhang Hanqing took out a thin piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Liang Yanqing, and opened it at will.

    With Liang Yanqing¡¯s eyesight, of course he recognized that the page he opened was a check from the British Macquarie Bank, and the number on it was five million!  There was no need to touch it, he knew from his experience of being immersed in it for most of his life that it was the real deal.

    Zhang Hanqing casually browsed through the tickets: 20 million from HSBC, 15 million from Citibank, 10 million from China-Japan Bank of China, 8 million from Bank of Korea, 5 million from Zhengjin Bank, Bank of Manchuria and Zhenglong.  Six million each¡­

    These were all deposits that were converted into small amounts of gold by financial experts headed by Liu Shangqing through various means, and then legitimately used. According to later generations, this money was laundered.  This meager dozen alone is several times more than the total assets accumulated by the Liang family over decades.

    Zhang Hanqing¡¯s behavior completely shocked Liang Yanqing, God of Wealth!  Is it possible that the family wealth in the Northeast is so rich?  However, Zhang Hanqing said something casually that drove him crazy: "These are just fractions. The four major banks in the Northeast received a total of 228 million in deposits at the end of last year!"

    It is true that the four largest banks in the Northeast are rich. Just last month, in order to maintain the central government's financial operations, the Ministry of Finance borrowed 70 million from the Northeast Bank and got rid of the deficit crisis.  With the respect of the central government, the central government had to borrow money from the local governments. This was the first of its kind in the Republic of China.  Other known examples are that the Northeast Bank of Communications fully acquired the operating rights of Tianjin Port and the Zhongxing Shipyard in Huludao, both of which were large-scale investments.

    These are the key areas of concern for an insider, so Liang Yanqing knows them very well.  It is said that the purpose of the Northeast Bank of Communications in purchasing these two properties is to build the largest shipping empire in northern China, so that Northeastern products can be traded with the world through shipping.  For example, Zhongxing Shipyard spent 15 million yuan to purchase a 10,000-ton hydraulic press and a Demag bridge crane from Germany as soon as it injected capital, causing a sensation in the industry.

    This is the rhythm of big work. Don¡¯t Liaoning people want to build large-scale sea-going ships by themselves?  However, in Zhang Hanqing's forward thinking, the superficial reason for the shipyard to purchase the hydraulic press was to forge large crankshafts for ships, steam turbine rotors, etc., but when needed, it could be easily used to manufacture thick decks for warships.  This hydraulic press can forge up to 650mm thick steel plates, which is the armor thickness of the main protective part of the battleship!

    Precisely for this reason, Liang Yanqing was in awe of the strength of the Feng clan, regardless of military pressure, even in terms of economic achievements alone.  Therefore, he firmly believed in Zhang Hanqing's words.  But what he didn't expect was that the four major banks in the Fengxing Group had an amazing ability to absorb deposits, but the amount of funds they invested was also amazing. Zhang Hanqing secretly changed the concept here!

    Liang Yanqing is confused. Since he has so much cash in hand, why bother to spend a lot of money to issue bonds?  He didn't know that this was a two-pronged strategy that Zhang Hanqing and others had been plotting for a long time - not only to hide the truth from the outside world and reduce the outside world's exploration of his "nouveau riche" style fortune, but also to take advantage of the trend to collect huge sums of money in Tianjin for their own use. Why bother?  Not for?

    Seeing that Old Man Liang had been restrained by him, Zhang Hanqing got to the point: "All the above just show that the Federation Provincial Autonomous Government is not without money. Our purpose of doing this is just to set off a burst of industry in the customs through the subscription of bonds from all walks of life.  There is an upsurge in public opinion about rejuvenating the country. It should be noted that to build such a large country, it is completely insufficient to rely on a corner of the Northeast.

    In fact, the Northeastern bonds are completely mortgaged by land and its output. With the prosperity of industrial output in recent years, we have been able to repay all the bonds.  The reason why we still do this is to let the people in the Northeast tighten their belts and live in poverty together, in order to pay back the economic debt they have owed for decades.

    Mr. Liang¡¯s risk as one of the sponsors of this contract is extremely low.  Even so, in doing business, risks and opportunities coexist. Xueliang cannot let the Liang family bear this risk in vain, and will also give up part of the benefits.

    We will set up an import and export company, tentatively named "Northern Trading Corporation", with an initial registered capital of at least 100 million, which will monopolize all foreign trade under Northeast China.  To be honest, I know that import and export trading is the real source of wealth for the Liang family, and it is precisely because of the Liang family¡¯s experience and ability in this field.  After its establishment, all foreign trade in the region where the department was located was handled by the company.  Agricultural products such as grain, cotton, soybeans, and various non-ferrous metals are all within its business scope.  "

    Zhang Hanqing finally revealed his trump card: "We are going to ask Mr. Liang to send someone to serve as the chairman of this trading company."

    Overseas trade has always been the strength of the Liang family.  But even the well-informed Liang Yanqing was shocked by Zhang Hanqing's generosity.  The great thing about this company is not the 100 million silver dollar capital - although the number is large, it does not shock Liang Yanqing. He was shocked.What matters is the determination of Feng Xi.

    Monopoly, absolute monopoly!

    Liang Yanqing is no stranger to this method.  In fact, the Liang family has been able to rise quickly, and it can be said that they are familiar with it in this way.  During World War I, Jardine Matheson purchased a large amount of strategic materials from North China, and shipped bristles, wool, cotton, soybeans, etc. to Britain.  During the acquisition process of Liang Yanqing and his important assistant Chen Zhuling, the manager of the export department, the Englishman Peters, secretly instructed Liang Yanqing and Chen Zhuling on the foreign supply and demand situation and market trends, so that they could buy the goods and hoard them until foreign companies urgently needed them.  When you buy it at a high price, you can sell it at the market price and earn super profits from it.  Liang Yanqing instructed Chen Zhuling to take advantage of the export convenience to keep the price to the lowest when making internal purchases, and to raise the price to the highest when exporting. Buying low and selling high are their real source of wealth.

    There is no doubt that the Feng Clan has strong administrative capabilities and can maintain the monopoly of these materials within the Feng Clan's territory.  Liang Yanqing believed that as long as Fengxi could find a suitable buyer, Jardine Matheson would not be able to compete with it.

    This world seems to be a world of buyers. The economies of many colonies and semi-colonies are controlled by monopoly buyers. But when the seller is strong enough, like the Northeast, its power is by no means something that Jardine Matheson can resist.  After all, the Northeast Autonomous Government has a big business and has real money. It is absolutely no problem to leave any trading company alone and go it alone.

    But it would be too naive for the young marshal to think of tying the Liang family to the chariot of the Feng clan based on this.  Not getting involved in politics is the only truth behind the success of the Liang family. When it comes to business, Liang Yanqing is confident that he can handle the business with ease.  But once politics is involved, the power is beyond his control.  A single chairman's "virtual position" cannot impress him.  Since the death of Lao Yuan, the situation in the capital has changed in several years. The people who came to power are like a revolving lantern that dazzles everyone. Who knows whether the Feng clique will be as short-lived as the Anhui clique?

    He hurriedly put down the tea cup and was about to refuse, but Zhang Hanqing interrupted him firmly and said calmly: "I know this position may not be enough to tempt the old man, but Xueliang has another appointment. I want the old man to  I will definitely not refuse.¡±

    Liang Yanqing was curious, and he decided to let Zhang Hanqing continue to negotiate terms. Anyway, he made up his mind not to get into the troubled waters of the Feng Dynasty.  But when Zhang Hanqing pointed at a person and said a word leisurely, there was a surge of excitement in his heart.

    "I wonder if Mr. Laikui is interested in having Brother Laikui work in the government? Brother Laikui can choose from several positions, including Deputy Minister of Finance, Mayor of Beijing, Director of Tianjin Investment and Financing Commission, and President of Northeastern Bank Tianjin Branch.  .¡±

    If it were someone else, Liang Yanqing would not hesitate to raise his old and frail hands and slap the other person in the face, casually granting such a high-ranking official to someone else. Was the government run by his family?  But when Zhang Hanqing spoke, he completely believed it.

    Isn¡¯t the current central government run by a clique?  Except for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the heads of other ministries, including the Prime Minister, openly flirt with the Feng Clan.  For example, Liang Laikui served as deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry back then, and others could not say much about him in terms of qualifications.  If the Feng family supports it, there will be no problem at all.

    In addition, the Tianjin Investment and Financing Commission is the agency in charge of financing and investment in Tianjin. Because it is tied to its own property, the arrangements are a family matter; the same is true for the preparation of the Northeast Bank Tianjin Branch.

    If the first two positions can be regarded as Shang Eryou's transfer to an official position, then the last two positions will completely tie the Liang family and Fengxi together.

    The Liang brothers were very excited: This is a good thing falling from the sky, especially Liang Laikui.  As the eldest son of the Liang family, after experiencing an unsuccessful "investment" in officialdom, this matter has gradually become a laughing stock of the family.  Although he is quite talented in business, he must prove his ability to his family.  The Deputy Minister of Finance has much greater authority than the original Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Forestry.

    Even the other two sons yearn for it.  The eldest brother is in officialdom, so the Liang family's business will be handed over to the two brothers without hesitation.  Their talents had been suppressed before with Big Brother around, so this was a good opportunity to prove their skills.  Besides, with my eldest brother in the Ministry of Finance, I can rely on him for many business matters. Government and business have always been well connected in China.

    And the eldest brother¡¯s unsuccessful political experience has become a major worry for his father.  Even though the Liang family is the richest man in Tianjin, his father, who has experienced success in life, is particularly concerned about having a few children who can have an official career. This is influenced by the traditional Chinese official-oriented sentiment.

    They thought their father would definitely agree to send their eldest brother out again.

    It can be imagined that the Young Marshal has offered such generous conditions. If the Liang family does not agree to it, the Feng family, which has absolute advantages in capital and administration, will definitely squeeze the Liang family in future business.  As the young marshal said, we should start with overseas trade. The traditional advantages of the Liang family are not at the same level as those of the Feng family.

    I don¡¯t know what will happen in the future, at least now they are not opponents of the Feng system.

    ???????????? But the risk of the eldest brother being the Deputy Minister of Finance is not great. At the worst, he can just resign from his position as before.  There have been so many prime ministers of the Republic of China. Didn¡¯t everyone live a good life?  It looks like a good deal to exchange a finance minister for the endorsement of bonds.  The main thing is that they all know that the risk of Northeast Treasury bonds is extremely small, because it is not an airdrop, but has something real as collateral.

    With his father¡¯s sophistication, he will definitely agree(remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)??Completely not on the same level as Fengxian.
