Beiyang reactionaries

Among them, Huang Yizhu is definitely the one with the highest ranking.

No one knows this person's net worth, but Kang Xinru estimates that this person has at least tens of millions of pounds.

"Manager Kang, you are being polite."

"Boss Huang, you are new to Shanghai. It is my honor to come to see me. I am really flattered."

While talking to Huang Yizhu, Kang Xinru was very puzzled.

Huang Yi lived this sugar king from Indonesia, so he would come to find him.Kang Xinru also heard the news that this rich man is going back to China, but this rich man should not be looking for himself when he returns to China to invest.

Although I can be regarded as a powerful figure in the Shanghai financial circle, but that is mainly because I have Duan Xun as my back.Kang Xinru runs the Southwest Commercial Bank, and his more role is to raise funds for Duan Xun.Although there are also many investments and loans, the scale is not very large.Kang Xinru was very cautious in Southwest Commercial Bank, and he would not invest in or lend money to projects with relatively high risks.It's not because Kang Xinru is timid, but because Duan Xun borrowed too much money.If Kang Xinru had a slight problem with the investment, it would be a huge blow to Duan Xun.Therefore, Kang Xinru would rather make less money than to choose stability.

With a big boss like Huang Yizhu, it should be impossible for him to find himself a loan, nor to find himself to cooperate in business.Because Huang Yizhu is such a big boss, even if he wants to raise funds, there are many banks in Shanghai that are more suitable than Southwest Commercial Bank.

However, Kang Xinru did not show any doubt at all.There was even a little excitement in my heart.Duan Xun had long wanted to get in touch with these Nanyang tycoons, hoping to persuade them to return to China, especially to invest in the Southwest.

Just couldn't find a way.

Huang Yizhu in front of him is not a representative of a rich man in Nanyang.If Huang Yi can be persuaded to live in contact with rich Nanyang businessmen, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

So the attitude is very good.

"Manager Kang, I heard that your Southwest Commercial Bank borrowed and raised hundreds of millions of dollars for General Duan Xun."

"Yes."

Kang Xinru nodded.

It's no secret.Who in Shanghai's financial circle doesn't know about this.The Southwest Commercial Bank is apparently independent, but it only helps Duan Xun to raise funds and borrow money, and Duan Xun's repayment is the Southwest Commercial Bank's account.

Therefore, Southwest Commercial Bank, as a bank, still has high profits in the middle.Among the major banks in Shanghai at present, the profit of Southwest Commercial Bank can be ranked first.

Because Southwest Commercial Bank has all the characteristics of commercial banks.Southwest Commercial Bank, as an industry bank, usually helps Duan Xun handle some government business.And these government businesses have given Southwest Commercial Bank a huge flow of funds.

Let Southwest Commercial Bank have a very high reputation in Shanghai's financial circle, and it can be regarded as a very successful commercial bank among the current banks in Shanghai.

But this is all superficial.

The reason why Southwest Commercial Bank is doing government business, especially Duan Xun's business, is because Southwest Commercial Bank itself is a bank that is half official and half commercial.Because half of the shares of Southwest Commercial Bank come from Southwest Bank.Kang Xinru is also Duan Xun's representative in Shanghai, representing Duan Xun in contact with all walks of life in Shanghai.

Kang Xinru's identity is not a secret at all, Huang Yizhu will definitely find out after a little inquiring.

Therefore, Kang Xinru did not hide anything.

"Manager Kang, I've always been curious about this matter. I can ask directly, what did General Duan Xun do when he borrowed so much money? Expand the army? Buy arms? Or put it into his own pocket?"

very direct.

Huang Yi lived to return to the country, but Duan Xun is currently only the overlord of the Southwest in the country, just a local warlord.Even if Huang Yi offends Duan Xun by living here, at worst he goes to a place that Duan Xun can't control.

Such as back home in Fujian, or in Shanghai.

What can Duan Xun do.

So he was not polite at all, and directly expressed his doubts.

This is what Huang Yizhu has always been puzzled about.Huang Yi has inquired too much about Duan Xun in the past two days.Duan Xun's reputation is very good, basically few people say bad things about Duan Xun.But there is another point, that is, the combat effectiveness of Duan Xun's troops has always been respected.

For example, Bailang was wiped out in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, Cai E was defeated in the War of Protecting the Nation, troops entered Yunnan to expel Tang Jiyao, and the War of Protecting the Law started from Lizhou and Changde to defeat the Jingguo Army and the Guangxi Army in Western Hunan.

It really means being invincible.

So Huang Yizhu was a little puzzled, why Duan Xun's army is so powerful.In addition to some rumors these days, it is that Duan Xun has a close relationship with Japan and bought a lot of Japanese arms.

Therefore, Huang Yizhu suspected that Duan Xun's money was used to expand the army and buy arms.

It's not a blemish.

After all, in this era of China, wars are everywhere.Warlord wars are frequent. In order to expand their own strength, it is common for warlords to expand their army and purchase arms.It's just that Duan Xun borrowed too much money.Just by borrowing from major banks in Shanghai, issuing bonds, etc., the financing exceeded hundreds of millions.And many people said that Duan Xun borrowed hundreds of millions of funds from the Bank of Japan.

That's more money.

Where did all this money go?

Huang Yizhu was very curious.

Huang Yizhu's words were actually hard to hear, but Kang Xinru didn't show any anger at all, she was still smiling.In fact, inwardly, Kang Xinru was angry for a moment.

However, although Kang Xinru is young, she has worked in Shanghai's financial circle for many years.Kang Xinru's demeanor made Huang Yizhu praise him in his heart.

Not bad.

Sure enough, he was a figure who called the wind and rain in Shanghai's financial circle.

Even though she spoke so bluntly, Kang Xinru's expression didn't change at all, she was still smiling.Either this person is smiling, or he can hold his breath.No matter what kind of person they are, they are not easy to mess with.This self-cultivation effort alone is not something that ordinary people can possess.

As many people say, when looking at a person, first look at his friends.Similarly, looking at a superior person and looking at those people he reuses can also give you a general understanding.With a young and promising general like Kang Xinru, Duan Xun should not be an idiot.

"Boss Huang, what do you say? I don't think you will believe me if I say that none of the money was spent on military expenses or on the purchase of arms."

"Yes."

Kang Xinru's frankness left a good impression on Huang Yizhu.

indeed so.

Who is Duan Xun, no matter how good Duan Xun's reputation is, Duan Xun is a warlord.These years can be regarded as wars between the South and the North. Of course, if Duan Xun didn't fight, it would be impossible for Duan Xun to have so many territories.

Since it is a warlord, it is certain that the money will be spent on military expenses and arms.

"But that only accounts for a very small part, and it would be nice to have one-tenth."

"So where did the money go?"

Huang Yizhu didn't believe it.

One-tenth, that's just a little more, 2000 million?

Duan Xun, a warlord, borrowed so much money, only one-tenth of it was used for army building?No matter what he said, Huang Yizhu couldn't believe it.

"Boss Huang, you don't know much about my southwest region. Our southwest provinces are rich in minerals, not only rich in coal resources, but also in various minerals that are in high demand in the international market. Tea and salt are also a pillar industry. The three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou are the oldest tea bases in China. Sichuan sugar is the most in the country, and its output is no worse than that in Nanyang. There are also things such as tung oil and bristle that almost account for most of the output in the international market. It is so rich resources, but the biggest problem in the Southwest is poor transportation and no industrial base. The three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou controlled by our general, as well as Shaanxi and Xiangxi, did not even have a single railway before. At present, there are still few railways in the Southwest , and these railways were built after our generals entered the Southwest, and the Beijing government did not use a penny in this process, and our generals raised money themselves."

"Currently, the Chengdu-Chongqing railway that our general is building in Sichuan costs more than 3000 million yuan. Among them, 2000 million yuan is borrowed from Japan by our general mortgaged this railway. If the money is not paid, the Chengdu-Chongqing railway will The right to operate was handed over to Japan. The Yugui Railway was handed over to the Overseas Chinese Industrial Company for construction, and they were given the right to operate for a certain period of time. The Tongxi Railway from Tongguan to Xi’an and the Tongxi Railway from Tongchuan to Xi’an are still under construction. The Baoji-Chengdu Railway from Shaanxi Baoji to Chengdu, and the Xu-Kun Railway from Xuyong to Kunming are under planning. Southwest China is not a plain area. The difficulty of laying railways there is several times that of the plain area, and the cost is also several times that of the plain area. Huang Boss, you can do the math. How much money should be needed to build these railways. Can our general not borrow money? How can we build these railways without borrowing money? If we don’t borrow money, the southwest provinces will not be able to build a single one in ten years Chengdu-Chongqing Railway."

Huang Yi remained silent.

Among other things, laying railways is very expensive, of course Huang Yizhu knows this.Although Huang Yizhu didn't go to the southwest to see it in person, he can imagine how much money he can talk about.
