Chapter 086 Old Friend
In early September, in the early morning, the bright sunshine just passed through the tall but broken walls of the four nine cities. When the air began to fill the mist-like smoke, groups of carrier pigeons flew over the sky of the capital, and the sound of pigeons echoed like a loud and melodious whistle. This is the morning in the capital, the morning awakened by pigeons.
In the office of the Yokohama Masaki Bank Kyoto Bank Kyoto, Oda Kei Mansuke is in his fifties and is still so thin, but he has wrinkles recently. He stood in front of the office window and looked out with a very worried and anxious expression. He held an unlit cigarette in his hand. As a senior director of Yokohama Masaki Bank, in the past few years, he has supervised the bank's branches in China and is now in charge of the six countries. The five countries' bank group has now withdrawn from the bank group.
The reason why I look a little anxious is that this "aftermath loan".
"Li Zicheng!"
With this name in his mouth, Oda Kei Manjutsu wished he could swallow this Chinese man of unknown origin alive. It was he who disrupted the flag. The Chinese government, which was originally shaking due to financial tension, supported it with the loan of more than 40 million taels he provided. Originally, when the Tang Cabinet did not fall, three months ago, although he borrowed tens of millions of taels, Tang Xiong and the others still slowly talked about the loan in order to discuss better conditions.
But three months ago, Yuan Tang had a disagreement over the election of the governor of Zhili and loan issues. After Tang Shaoyi resigned angrily, the new cabinet came to power. After Zhou Xuexi became the chief finance minister, he had no intention of negotiating. Instead, he stopped the negotiations and finally turned into a five-country bank syndicate to him for negotiations.
As a result, Zhou Xuexi ignored it. Last month, he even went to Lianyungang and said he was going to inspect the construction of Lianyungang, but that was just an excuse.
Moreover, as soon as he returned to the capital from Lianyungang, he immediately talked with the representatives of Morgan Bank about borrowing and issuing bonds. He was all about putting aside the five countries to break the monopoly of China's foreign debt issuance. The direct result of his negotiations with Morgan was that the United States was not Belgium. However, as soon as the five countries protested, the U.S. minister to China was rejected by the US ambassador to China.
With the support of the US government's support for credit for China, Morgan is not a person that the five-nation syndicate can offend. Even if it is broken, everyone can only swallow it in their stomachs. But as soon as they think of this, Oda couldn't help but think of the person who messed up all of this.
"Li Zicheng! Li Zicheng!"
Another evil curse sounded in his heart. Oda Keironosuke sighed, turned around, paced back and forth in the office, shook his head constantly, and frowned from time to time. The reason why Japan pulled Russia to join the loan to China at all costs was to take over China's finances, supervise China's military, and interrupt China's potential for future strength from a financial perspective.
When he arrived at the desk, he was a little upset and picked up the photo of the whole family, looked at the smiles of his children and the gentle gaze of his wife, and felt very moved.
“It’s been decades…”
He sat down, took a piece of paper, and wrote a few Chinese characters.
"Okay, not!"
Then he stood up and walked back and forth in the office, finally stood in front of the window and looked out. The pigeon whistle that came from outside the window made him feel even more upset.
What's wrong today? Are you really going to compromise with China and give them real loans?
Yesterday, yesterday, he accidentally came to China from the United States in March to supervise Morgan at Alport Casapes, who regulated Morgan at China Banking. Morgan was willing to take over $100 million in Chinese bonds. Oda did not doubt this. For Morgan, he had already mastered the issuance of bonds from Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and even Japan. As a world creditor, he naturally would not miss the opportunity to issue bonds from China, and this is definitely a good opportunity. Compared with the national interests that other countries value, Morgan only sees commercial interests.
"It seems that I really want to..."
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and then Hashimoto came in, and then he closed the door gently. The interior was covered with wooden floors. Hashimoto was walking very loudly. Hashimoto came behind Odaki Mansuke and said.
"Chief Chairman, Mr. Sheng Xuanhuai, Chairman of Hanyeping, has arrived!"
Looking at the back of Oda Keironosuke, his tall head looks very tall among the Japanese. Even if he bent, he was a little taller than Oda Keironosuke.
"What? Sheng Xuanhuai is here?"
When Oda Keironosuke, who turned around, had an incredible tone when he spoke, he never expected that Sheng Xuanhuai would dare to come to the capital. Wouldn't he be afraid that Yuan Shikai would take revenge on him?
"Why did he come to the capital?"
Compared to this sentence, he wanted to ask more about what he said, how dare Sheng Xuanhuai come to the capital! A few days ago, Sheng Xuanhuai didn't even dare to leave the concession, for fear that someone would use his head to express his loyalty to Yuan Shikai. Now, he not only left the concession, but also came to the capital.
"Chairman, Mr. Sheng hopes to meet you, and he is waiting outside now!"
"Well, he is an old friend, he always wants to meet him!"
Although nine months ago, in Shanghai, Oda Chee Manjusuke had a secret loss by Sheng Xuanhuai, and the old sly guy made a fool of himself with one word, but he failed, he still had to see him at this time. Maybe Sheng Xuanhuai dared to come to the capital because he encountered something that could not be solved, so he came to ask for help. When nodding in agreement, he asked again.
"Is it just him?"
Hashimoto, who was still lowering his head, shook his head.
"There are a few people who came with him! Among them are two directors of Hanyeping Company, and a young Westerner, who I am not very familiar with!"
Nodded, Oda Kei Mansunosuke didn't say anything.
"Okay, tell Sheng Xuanhuai that I'll see him later!"
At this time, Hashimoto suddenly spoke and reminded him, and looked up at the chairman.
"Mr. Chairman, I think Sheng Xuanhuai came to the capital at this time, and I wonder if there would be any conspiracy!"
"conspiracy?"
A smile flashed from the corner of Taki Mansuke's mouth.
"The Chinese are greedy for money, cowardly, and have great face. When Yuan Shikai became the Minister of Beiyang, he wanted to accept the Investment and Shipping Bureau. The Telegraph Bureau was used by Yu Yi. Sheng Xuanhuai made a strong resistance. Although the two of them had not made a deep grudge, Yuan Shikai could not avoid the face. Sheng Xuanhuai, now in China, everyone is the cross-border rat that everyone calls for. If there is a big China, only Japan can protect him!"
Then he said meaningfully.
"So, this time he came to the capital, most of the past ten had to come!"
Hashimoto asked tentatively.
"Can it be that Yuan Shikai forced him to come to the capital? He wanted to be with us before meeting Yuan Shikai..."
At this point, Hashimoto was very moved, and Japan had been drooling about Han Yeping for almost twenty years.
But Oda Keironosuke shook his head and replied.
"Yuan Shikai hasn't forced Sheng Xuanhuai to be too nervous because of personal grudges. After all, he is the president of a country and always has to show off. What's more, Yuan Shikai is far more generous than many Chinese people. Others don't understand it, but I know this president very well. However, Sheng Xuanhuai must have encountered difficulties, otherwise, he would never dare to come to the capital!"
Taki Mansuke looked at the cigarette in his hand, and Hashimoto wanted to add it to him. He waved his hand, and he suddenly glared at his eyes, his face full of ecstasy.
"This time, no matter what difficulties he encounters, I have to find a way to get something from Han Yeping. Sheng Xuanhuai is really too cunning. This is the case with the "Pig Iron Presale Contract" signed last year, and the same is true for the "Japan-China Joint Contract" signed at the beginning of the year. It is really a traitor and a sly person!"
Just think of the financial tensions of the Nanjing Provisional Government at the beginning of the year, Huang and the other two forced Sheng Xuanhuai to sign the "Japan Joint Contract" by scouting their homes, but in the end they were destroyed by Sheng Xuanhuai's word of contribution. Oda Kei Mansuke couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, and the joint miscarriage was aborted. After returning to the capital from Shanghai, he reviewed several contracts signed by Sheng Xuanhuai again during the loan negotiations. Oda Kei Mansuke realized that Sheng Xuanhuai was so sloppy that he was extremely sloppy, and in every contract, he had a secret trick to break the contract unilaterally.
Hashimoto, who had never known about this before, was immediately shocked when he heard this.
"Chairman, how is it possible? We have carefully examined every contract, and we will never..."
When he said that, he still swallowed it back. During the negotiations at the beginning of the year, Sheng Xuanhuai just changed the word "六" in Article 10 of the contract and easily destroyed the joint work that should have been a foregone conclusion. All the people involved in the negotiations are very familiar with Chinese, but they did not see the mystery. Now that the chairman says this, that's certain.
"This Sheng Xuanhuai is really a traitor, he is indeed a real Chinese man!"
"Old traitor!"
He snorted coldly, but Oda Kei Manjusuke said again.
"No matter how old a sly person is, he has no say in the face of absolute strength. At the negotiating table, why do Chinese diplomats suffer losses repeatedly? It's not that they don't understand diplomacy, but that the country is too weak!"
At this point, Oda Kei Mansunosuke walked out of the office. As soon as he walked out of the office, when he saw Sheng Xuanhuai, he showed a seemingly sincere smile and bowed respectfully.
"Mr. Sheng, I've kept you waiting for a long time!"
"Please forgive me if you are disturbing Chairman Oda!"
Sheng Xuanhuai said politely. He seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was a little bit. Only he knew what he was doing when he came to Beijing this time.
After seeing the ceremony with the directors of Hanyeping Company, Oda Keironosuke looked at the Westerner who looked quite graceful beside Sheng Xuanhuai. He had the temperament that no one could ignore. This Westerner was by no means simple.
"What is this gentleman?"
When the Westerner standing behind Sheng Xuanhuai saw that the other party asked him, he took the initiative to extend his hand.
"Franklin Roosevelt! Hello, Mr. Oda!"
Okay, the third update is here! Haha, it’s the end of the year, I’m depressed by being pulled out again. Anyway, try to get the update as much as possible!)...
