Li Hongtang really didn't know how he left the governor's office, and the next thing was easier. After all, the collateral Gao Shaoyi took out was indeed valuable, but for the joint custody of both parties, the people of the Gallic Empire wanted to use tricks.
Li Hongtang does not make any concessions. We will send special people to the Gallic Empire. A total of twenty people will look at the collateral day and night. If there are any problems in the process, then the suppressing army will
You have the right not to pay back the money.
After all, this is a very large loan, so some people in charge of the Gallic Imperial Bank did not dare to make decisions without authorization. They had to have a good talk with many people. But regarding Li Hongtang's proposal to blockade the Rosa Empire fleet,
They expressed great interest, and the conflict between the Rakshasa Empire and them was also great.
The two sides just finished fighting a few years ago. In order to compete for control of a certain area in the west, both sides mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. Although the war has ceased, the scars caused by a war are not easy to heal.
In the next few days, Gao Shaoyi inspected most of the military camps in Haicheng and highly praised the situation here. This was all the result of Li Hongtang and Liu Shan.
Today, he just finished inspecting the military camp in the south of the city. Gao Shaoyi did not go back to Zhili Governor's Yamen. He went to the canteen to eat like all the soldiers.
The food here is very tasty. In addition to the specially supplied milk, we try not to let the soldiers eat canned food in normal times. There are only two meals a week at most. If we let them eat it in normal times,
Canned food is even more reluctant to eat when you are on the battlefield.
"Where are you coming from, sir? Let's have a meal together in the military camp."
Gao Shaoyi was preparing to eat when he saw Li Hongtang's car driving in from outside, and Li Hongtang was running out of breath. Could something have happened in the meantime?
"I'm not in the mood to eat. Come and take a look. This is a note from the Morgan Imperial Bank Group and a note from the Juncker Imperial Bank Group."
Li Hongtang really didn't know what to say. Such a large loan was regarded as a piece of fat by the banking groups of various countries. If it were all handed over to the banking groups of the Gallic Empire, then other major empires would definitely be unwilling to do so.
, and they all also took a fancy to this collateral.
"Why is there still forced borrowing?"
Gao Shaoyi said with a smile. In fact, when he told Li Hongtang about this matter earlier, Gao Shaoyi had already guessed that this step would happen. Everything was in accordance with the script in his heart. You people have already expressed your feelings towards the Daqian Dynasty.
The economic invasion has been going on for such a long time. Even if I take back the entire concession, I'm afraid most of the good things will be taken away by you.
Now that you have seen the benefits generated by the loan and forced me to borrow money, don't blame me for being unkind in the future.
"The term of fifty years is so long, and your collateral is valuable enough, why are they unwilling to lend money? These empires have a lot of money, and they also want to have a long-term meal ticket, especially the Morgan empire.
It is said that the Windsor Empire’s banking group is also taking action.”
Li Hongtang poured a bowl of water next to him, and then he calmed down a little. If these empires unite, we will have to borrow money from them.
The Daqian Dynasty often did this kind of thing, and every time they would use various interests as collateral. The banking groups of the major empires saw the profits, and they were willing to lend money to the Daqian Dynasty. This was simply It's a sure-fire business.
Some time ago, the Gallic Empire borrowed 100 million silver coins, and the collateral was the customs tax revenue of the Daqian Empire.
You can happily collect your principal and interest every year without having to worry about it. This kind of work is extremely attractive to any bank. Although Gao Shaoyi has mortgaged the destroyer's engine blueprint, There are also cruiser engine blueprints, and fast gun blueprints, any good thing can be used as collateral.
"Apart from the bankers, other ordinary people won't know, right?"
Gao Shaoyi suddenly thought of another thing. If it spreads too much and the people know about it, many people may regard Gao Shaoyi as a traitor, and Gao Shaoyi's admiration will drop significantly.
"Don't worry about this. Banking groups from various countries also know how to protect their reputation in the Daqian Dynasty, so all kinds of loans will not be published in the newspapers. It's just that we know about it, and the common people only know a rough idea."
After hearing this, Gao Shaoyi kept his heart in his stomach and maintained it. The system operates on merit points and worship points. If there is a war, merit points can be obtained from the battlefield, but worship points have to rely on the faith of the people. Yes, now this is also a very fixed income every day.
As long as the people don't regard us as traitors, Gao Shaoyi is ready to bring all the great powers to a boil. You guys actually force me to borrow money, so don't blame me for imposing conditions on you.
"Then you agree to them all, but the interest cannot be higher. Three percent interest is impossible. At the same time, you also inform the Gallic Empire that the interest must be reduced to less than two percent. If they If you don't want to, then just pull him over, anyway, we have plenty of partners now."
Even if it only takes four years to repay the principal and interest, it is still a big sum. If the interest can be lowered a little, then tens of millions of silver coins can be paid back in these four years. For the Zhenlu Army It's also a good thing.
"There is no problem in lowering interest rates. Bank groups from various countries are all communicating with each other. They are not fools and will not insist on us on this matter. But what on earth are you borrowing so much money for? If the bank groups from all countries want to borrow money, , the cash in our hands can eventually exceed one billion silver coins, what do you want the money for?"
Li Hongtang was about to lose his temper. He shouted these words. He looked at Gao Shaoyi very seriously before and thought that the Daqian Dynasty had found a savior, but now Gao Shaoyi's behavior is really like that of a prodigal.
It is not easy for the Suppression Army to reach this stage today. Li Hongtang will never allow Gao Shaoyi to be ruined like this. Once it is overwhelmed by loans from various countries, the Suppression Army, let alone training funds, includes everyone's money. If you can't pay your salary, can these people continue to work with you?
Li Hongtang's question is also a question for everyone present, and Gao Shaoyi must answer...
