Chapter 839 Goodwill Bond(1/2)
A few people who looked like bodyguards walked in first.
He looked around the room warily, and then separated from each other.
Then, a young man walked in slowly.
As soon as they saw this person, Li Ruzhang, the director-general of the Shanghai Refugee Children's Correctional Institution, and Shao Puyun, the chairman of Dinghua Company, their eyes immediately shone.
The two of them hurriedly greeted each other and bowed deeply:
"It's Mr. Matsudaira who has arrived!
The future of the Japanese aristocratic Matsudaira family, Tetsuhiro Matsudaira, the head of the Japanese international delegation to China!
We were welcomed at the pier that day, and Li Ruzhang and Shao Puyun were also among them.
Although an unpleasant kidnapping incident occurred later, so-called Shanghai celebrities such as Li Ruzhang and Shao Puyun were received by Tetsuhiro Matsudaira at the Japanese Consulate.
This is simply a lifelong honor for them.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Shao." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro nodded, lukewarmly.
"Your Excellency Matsudaira's arrival is simply a great honor for us!" Li Ruzhang wanted to flatter Matsudaira Tetsuhiro: "Everyone, let us applaud Your Excellency Matsudaira Tetsuhiro!"
Tetsuhiro Matsudaira?
Those who didn't know him at first realized what he was doing, and there was a round of applause in the hall.
Oh my god, Lu Xiaomei is so proud that even Japanese nobles came to her banquet in person.
"Matsuhira-kun, you are late."
Lu Xiaomei said with a smile.
This smile can make one's bones sore from laughter.
"Ms. Lu, I'm so sorry." Tetsuhiro Matsudaira bowed slightly.
"Ah, Matsudaira-kun, let me introduce to you, Mr. Hisashi Mitsui, the person in charge of the Far East region of Ganto Co., Ltd."
Following Lu Xiaomei's introduction, Matsudaira Tetsuhiro's eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan.
The noisy sounds around them just now disappeared, and everyone's eyes fell on these two people.
Xu Chengbo's heart immediately lifted.
Damn it, who would have thought that Lu Xiaomei would actually invite Matsudaira Tetsuhiro tonight?
Is there any Iwato Co., Ltd. in Japan? This is simply made up.
Now, everything was exposed.
It's a pity that I didn't bring a gun with me today. What if something goes wrong?
"Mitsui-kun." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro suddenly said, "I haven't seen you for a year since I said goodbye in Tokyo."
ah?
Xu Chengbo was stunned.
What's going on? How did Tetsuhiro Matsudaira know Boss Meng?
And, did you really call him "Mitsui-kun"?
this?
How did Boss Meng do it?
Meng Shaoyuan also smiled: "Your Excellency Songping, it's been a long time."
Lu Xiaomei was very curious: "Do you know each other?"
"Of course we know each other. The Matsudaira family and the Mitsui family have been friends for many generations." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro introduced: "Everyone, you may be a little unfamiliar with Iwato Co., Ltd., but the iron ore resources of the Empire of Japan in the Far East are all made of
Iwato Co., Ltd. is responsible.”
With a "wow" sound, the scene was in an uproar.
At this time, those people looked at "Mitsui Hisashi" differently.
Are all the iron ore resources in the Far East owned by the Mitsui family?
Not to mention the astronomical profits that can be made here, to achieve this, how powerful does the Mitsui family have in Japan?
That's right. We have been friends with the powerful Matsudaira family for generations. How can this relationship be so small?
It can even be said that Iwato Co., Ltd. simply represents the Japanese government.
Several traitors immediately began to plan how to get closer to pleasing this "Mitsui Hisashi".
"Since Mr. Songping is here, please ask Mr. Songping to say a few words for everyone." Meng Shaoyuan took the lead and said.
Applause rang out again.
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was not polite and talked about commonplaces such as Sino-Japanese friendship and so on.
These traitors would never give up such a good opportunity, and the applause was louder and louder than the last wave.
"You are all friends of the Empire of Japan." Matsudaira Tetsuhiro then changed the subject: "How to stabilize and prosper the Japanese economy requires the joint efforts of everyone here. In order to show the sincerity of the Empire of Japan, after research and discussion, the Japanese government
Decided to issue 'goodwill bonds' in China."
The scene immediately became quiet.
Goodwill bonds?
Lending money to the Japanese government?
this?
It’s easy to borrow money, but what about paying it back?
If the Japanese default on their debts, who will they ask for their money?
Be careful, be cautious.
Even die-hard traitors like Yang Boyan, Li Ruzhang, and Shao Puyun remained silent.
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro was a little unhappy.
When he came to China this time, in addition to being responsible for the international delegation to China, he also had another task, which was to supervise the implementation of "goodwill bonds" in China to relieve the financial pressure of the Japanese government.
"Goodwill bonds" are issued forcibly in Northeast China, North China and other places, and it is said that the issuance is quite good.
As for Shanghai, in addition to being China's financial center, the situation is also relatively complicated, especially the existence of public concessions, which makes forced implementation difficult.
Therefore, this important task falls on the "future of the Matsudaira family" Matsudaira Tetsuhiro.
As for Lu Xiaomei, her true identity was that she was sent to assist him.
It is easier for a woman, a socialite, to do many things.
Seeing that there was some silence, Lu Xiaomei took the lead and said: "I think the friendship between China and Japan is related to the future destiny of China. I am a prostitute and don't understand the rules, but I still understand this simple truth. Since Mr. Matsudaira said it, I will be the first to buy it.
100,000 yen bonds. Although 100,000 yen is not much, it is already all my property. I hope you will consider the fate of yourself and China and subscribe enthusiastically."
After she said this, coupled with Matsudaira Tetsuhiro's reputation, it would be unjustifiable for these traitors not to speak up.
"Ms. Xiaomei is really a chivalrous woman." Yang Boyan said with a smile: "In that case, I subscribe for 50,000 yen."
Matsudaira Tetsuhiro snorted unknownly.
These people usually keep saying they are loyal to the Japanese Empire, but what about at the critical moment?
A big boss doesn't subscribe to as many bonds as a woman.
Yang Boyan said, the others also have 50,000 yuan for you and 30,000 yuan for me.
After much calculation, I didn't even get half a million yen.
Logically speaking, this is a big number, but it is far from what Matsudaira Tetsuhiro expected.
The problem is, we can’t send the gendarmerie to publicly go to public concessions with bayonets to force them to collect donations, right?
In Tohoku, a huge amount of 8 million yen was raised in just a few days.
Although Shanghai, a financial center, may not be able to raise that much money, it can't be too different, right?
"Everyone, please let me say a few words."
Suddenly, Meng Shaoyuan said: "This time the Empire of Japan issued goodwill bonds in China, it is a symbol of the eternal friendship between China and Japan. I know that you all have your own ideas, and the Empire of Japan will never make things difficult.
Friend’s matter. Therefore, on behalf of Yanto Co., Ltd., I officially announce here that our company will use iron ore stocks in China and various places in the Far East as collateral to raise goodwill bonds!"
Suddenly, whispers broke out.
"Quiet, quiet." Meng Shaoyuan asked everyone to quiet down: "Each share is 10,000 yen, and the minimum purchase is 10,000 shares. Before the bond matures and is repaid, bond buyers can enjoy the income from iron ore stocks and bonds.
Interest will be calculated separately. On the maturity date of the bond, those who repay will automatically give up the company's stocks. Those who are unwilling to repay will be regarded as permanent shareholders of Ganto Co., Ltd.!"
This can happen, this really can happen!
The income from iron ore is so huge that the dividends enjoyed far exceed the interest on the bonds. When the day of bond repayment comes, no one will be willing to sell except those who are in urgent need of money.
Then you can become a permanent shareholder of the iron mine!
