It was uncomfortable to be treated like a monkey, and soon they were tired of London. At this time, Wu Chongyao informed them that they would go to France across the Taiwan Strait.
Section one hundred and twelve War wealth
Wu Chongyao didn’t finish it in England. Zhu Jinglun gave it to him. When Zhu Jinglun came, he told him to send a tea garden to King Liewen.com if he could meet the king. Especially, although there is a tea garden, it is the commercial tea garden of Assam Tea Company. If a China tea garden can be turned into a British royal tea garden, it will have a great advertising effect on China tea.
Zhu Jinglun’s eyes have economic effects, but there are no other ideas. However, Wu Chongyao, a businessman, still has some dignity problems in his eyes. It is too humiliating for him to give the Chinese tea garden to the Yi chiefs so as to please the Yi people.
Fortunately, Wang Wanggen didn’t meet them, which saved him the embarrassment and turned to speculate on the American war. Although the scale of the operation in Britain was larger than that in the United States, Wu Chongyao was much easier than in the United States, because there was a complete team in Britain to help him.
First, Jardine Matheson was honest after being robbed of 30% of the shares by Zhu Jinglun, and then the HSBC banking exhibition was quite rapid. Because Zhu Jinglun made the Bureau sign an agreement with HSBC, the cash of the Bureau was handled by HSBC, which not only injected a huge cash flow into the newly established bank, but also strengthened Thaksin. This is the price, which made them instantly hit the foreign and China trade and financial markets.
A large number of foreigners and China businessmen who have transactions in Xin ‘an are willing to complete the transfer through HSBC, which is a transaction amount of up to 10 million yuan, which has benefited HSBC a lot.
It is worthwhile for Jardine Matheson to recognize that it is worth paying the shares, so they are very willing to continue to get along with the Xin’ an government of the Xin’ an Legislative Bureau, especially in the case of the Kowloon Division. Jardine Matheson is firmly opposed to Erjin and others rushing into Kowloon and causing war, which has affected their voices. A large group of foreign businessmen have been struggling to put pressure on Erjin.
In this way, it is too easy for Jardine Matheson to help Zhu Jinglun do something in the United States. Jardine Matheson’s representatives are not as simple as a business firm. They are backed by a group of London financiers.
At that time, Dongyou Company was actually a banker’s cash machine in London, but Dongyou Company was dismantled by the government. However, during Dongyou Company’s time, the three major foreign companies, namely Jardine Matheson, Baoshun Foreign Company and American Qichang Foreign Company, were equal to inheriting Dongyou Company’s status and the banker’s cash machine function in London.
A large number of bankers are sharing the success of Jardine Matheson. For example, the Bahraini bank family monopolized Jardine Matheson’s financial industry, which was responsible for their financing in London and helped them with their working capital.
So jardine matheson has no shortage of contacts in London and has a huge network, but what they have
Wu Chongyao sent two million taels of silver to London through Jardine Matheson, which is almost all the cash he can move. The Wu family has not fallen behind for so many years and is far from being as powerful as it is said.
Before Wu Bingjian’s death, the Wu family separated, and the wealth accumulated by Wu Guoying, the former grandfather of Wu Bingjian, was included in the ancestral temple of the army to buy land rent. Except for offering sacrifices, the rest was equally divided among the houses, and the houses took turns to take care of it and never divided it.
In the Wu Bingjian era, Jardine Matheson’s accumulated wealth was evenly divided into four parts, which were divided by the five houses, including shops, real estate, land investment, US bonds and some accounts.
After the separation, Wu Bingjian once told others that his family property had 26oo million silver dollars, and his friend said that he had 6ooo million silver dollars. I’m afraid Wu Bingjian wanted to lure government officials with this 26oo silver dollar because he had already expressed his willingness to hand over the fact that his family property had been replaced by overseas industries. This money was just his assets after the separation.
That year was really very rich, but after all, it was that year. Wu Bingjian has been dead for almost 20 years, and the capital is in the hands of Wu Chongyao, that is, a quarter of that year. Then in these years, everything went wrong and he lost a lot of money. The family was prosperous, and hundreds of people lived a luxurious life. He was a parent, but he couldn’t give any younger brother less money. Everyone in the mansion had to have a servant.
Foreigners say that it is more luxurious to have an army than a king’s palace in Europe, but it is still a branch of the Wu family.
Such luxury can’t stand the consumption and bankruptcy for 20 years in a row even in wealth, but it is already somewhat stretched, especially the psychological pressure is great.
Wu Chongyao is not Wu Bingjian. He has no talent when he comes, but Liao Hua Pioneer, a general in Shu, has no way to inherit the family business. Looking at the family’s growing embarrassment, the pressure is unbearable for him.
If there are no new opportunities, the Wu family will probably disappear in 20 years.
But after this trip to Europe and America, Wu Chongyao was a little tempted. He saw a new business model and foreigners doing business in a completely different way, which made him feel like a giant fish in a drying lake suddenly saw a new ocean.
He saw banks, exchanges, insurance companies, and these are all ways to make money by playing with money. He felt very excited, although he didn’t know how to do these businesses yet, he had already become interested.
In London, he met many bankers, many of whom were interested in his property and gave him all kinds of financial advice, from buying annuities to buying stocks to investing in British government bonds to investing in insurance.
Of course, it is these people who helped him complete a series or pay the accounts. These people can do all the business in China in Britain because their business culture and morality have reached the level of disturbing entrustment. They will still receive the commission they have received, but they will not move. They are greedy, but they are also honest.
Jardine Matheson turned over two million taels of silver to hoard one million taels of medicine in Britain, and the remaining one million taels of silver to pay for moths, and ordered a large number of rifles, artillery and other weapons from all weapons factories in Britain.
Fighting is a weapon. Wu Chongyao knew that Zhu Jinglun judged that the United States was going to war. He asked why Zhu Jinglun said that one country, two systems would not last long, and that Lincoln’s new party was bound to move. This alone made people believe that Americans were going to war, which was not very convincing. But at that time, Wu Chongyao did not understand international politics and could not even find reasons for suspicion.
When he asked the Americans how long it would take to fight and how big it would be to determine whether he should follow suit, Zhu Jinglun said that it would take three to five years anyway, and he asked the reason. Zhu Jinglun said that such a big country and such a savage people would certainly have to fight for a long time. Yes, a big country would have to fight for a long time, and it was a mixed war between the North and the South. Wu Chongyao now he can’t find a reason to refute it
So Wu Chongyao chose to borrow 1 million from Zhu Jinglun, but he took out 2 million, totaling 3 million, to gamble together.
However, he can understand buying weapons in the war and can accept buying medicine, but Zhu Jinglun still wants to buy cotton futures, so he wonders what Americans have in the war with Youren and what the futures are. Only when he arrived in the United States did he know that futures meant paying money first and then getting the goods.
After some communication with Forbes, he realized that there was a war in the United States, and cotton would definitely increase in price. Zhu Jinglun paid the money first, which was equivalent to ordering the goods at a low price.
Wu Chongyao understands the futures and gives a part of the deposit for ordering E futures, especially for the journey to England in about two months. Zhu Jinglun put 302,000 yuan on the cotton deposit so that he could purchase 3,002,000 yuan of cotton. When Wu Chongyao came to England, the news of the American war broke, but the cotton was still floating in the sea. As a result, the instantaneous price soared twice, and Zhu Jinglun had already earned 3,002,000 yuan.
In fact, Wu Chongyao didn’t know that Zhu Jinglun would earn more if these cotton were not in the sea, because those who were eager to close their positions and needed to make up their positions would raise the price to a sky-high price.
Just because of this result, Wu Chongyao regrets that he didn’t do cotton business with Zhu Jinglun and invested his own money mainly in weapons. He also creatively hoarded a batch of grain. He knew that fighting must have food and guns to invest in these two businesses. Who would have thought that cotton was the best business?
As soon as the mode of cotton futures transportation made Wu Chongyao have a strong impulse to participate, this system of one tael of silver can be regarded as twelve taels is simply incredible. Compared with the slow hoarding and real ordering of the arms market, it is simply not an era.
Of course, as soon as the war broke out, the market for weapons and medicines soared, but it was not too exaggerated, because the American army was so small, and the 16ooo soldiers in the north and the south were not as good as those in the north. Even Americans did not believe that they would explode, and Europeans did not believe that it was necessary to decide the market. Sometimes, people’s psychological expectations were also an important factor, because everyone did not think that it was possible for the United States to explode the war, even if it were possible, it could not be a large-scale war. Even if the United States did explode the war, the price of weapons and food would not increase greatly at
On April 15, 161, the Lincoln cloth Declaration announced that the rebellion in the southern States called on the people to restore the federal unity and fight. On the same day, about 25 miles from Washington, Virginia, General Bo Regard of the Southern Alliance on the Boole River in Manacas, led 25oo troops to shout the slogan "March on Washington", which was very arrogant.
It is unrealistic for such a 25oo person to dare to attack the capital war and expect him to pull up the price of weapons.
Therefore, Wu Chongyao’s market price of weapons has increased by 30% in London this month. He ordered a large number of guns at a unit price of 3 taels of silver, and the arsenal kept delivering them. The Americans were not in a hurry to search the spot in the market, but they just sent a large number of orders to the British factories.
