He opened the folding fan with a swishing sound and said, "I can just lift a few..."

"If we use the name of a long-distance voyage exercise and use the Rushi to transport equipment, even if the imperial court saves us the freight, of course, your country still has to pay for the freight. At least, half of it is for the Prime Minister and half for me."

"The price quoted to Situ for this set of equipment is 3.5 million guan. The price to the Liao Kingdom will definitely not be lower than this amount. But with three sets of the same production, the cost will definitely be greatly reduced. The clan members will not give any kickbacks.

Are they embarrassed?"

"But I won't split this sum with the Prime Minister."

Wang Jing was a little dissatisfied: "Isn't this bad?"

Zhao Zhongqian laughed loudly: "I reported the number to the Prime Minister blindly, and the Prime Minister didn't know it? So there is no need to trouble yourself, right? For your share, we will find another way."

Wang Jing's palms were sweating: "Mr. Lang, tell me."

Zhao Zhongqian said: "If the prime minister is in charge of this matter, we will give an estimated price of 4.5 million yuan."

"This is a big project, involving a lot of equipment and drawings. Jinzhou's industrial and financial foundations are considered to be the best in Liao. The Prime Minister might as well select some capable people to gather together and set up a business bank to be responsible for providing services to Liao.

Equipment imported from China.”

"This trading house is responsible for negotiating with the Song Dynasty. In addition to the normal commission, the prime minister can also ask your Majesty to tell you how much the price is negotiated and how much the trading company can draw from the money saved as a reward to encourage them to work hard to fight for the interests of the Liao Kingdom.

.”

"Let's assume that the incentive is 20%. If the commercial bank can reduce the price from 4.5 million to 3.5 million, it will save your country a full million yuan. How much is the total commission? Two hundred thousand yuan

.”

"Did the Prime Minister get these two hundred thousand coins cleanly?"

Wang Jing couldn't help but feel elated, Zhao Zhongqian must be Tang Silang, look at his business methods!

But I heard Zhao Zhongqian say: "But these are all small heads."

The freight commission adds up to no less than 300,000 yuan, or is it still a small amount?!

"Prime Minister, you must know that the Song Dynasty will not accept silk banknotes."

"Ah? Yes, then this business can't be done?"

"Why can't it be done?" Zhao Zhongqian looked at Xiaobai: "Without silk banknotes, wouldn't there be New Year coins and imported money?"

"this……"

"Prime Minister, in the past, the Liao Kingdom only used the annual coins as rewards. Now that the Liao Kingdom has adopted the millet system, the role of the annual coins has actually been greatly reduced."

"For both parties to be able to complete this business, the best way is to purchase it with seven years' worth of coins!"

"In the Song Dynasty, face was the most important thing. If you can use this method to avoid the seven-year coin reward, the officials in the court will not be able to obstruct it, and the clan will be more confident in lobbying."

Wang Jing was shocked: "Isn't this... Daliao, where I have no money and get 3.5 million pieces of equipment for nothing?"

"Seven years!" Zhao Zhongqian couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Your Majesty, can you wait so long?"

"What should we do?"

Zhao Zhongqian said: "There is no money in the national treasury, but there is money among the people. The money imported from the coastal states of Liao is more than 3.5 million yuan?"

Wang Jing was already a little dizzy: "Is that also other people's money?"

Zhao Zhongqian said: "This is the function of Fengjin Bank. The Liao State can entrust the Song Dynasty to print 3.5 million imported bonds, or construction bonds, whatever they are called, in seven-year coins

Isn’t that enough to sell it to merchants as collateral and stipulate that it can only be purchased with imported money?”

"Will they buy it?"

"Give me a profit! The blast furnace Situ ordered has a daily output of 10,000 jins of iron. There are three furnaces in one factory, which means 30,000 jins per day."

"Even if you only earn a hundred guan from a pound of iron, that's 3,000 guan a day, and the profit is 1.1 million guan a year."

"This steel product is expected to pay back its capital in three years. Even if we give half of the interest to the merchants, the entire investment will be recovered within five years."

"The steel plant that originally took seven years to put into production now only takes one year to put into production, and the investment is recovered after five years of operation. Isn't this a great achievement?"

Wang Jing nodded: "With 50% profit, the merchants will definitely be happy. I am sure to raise 3.5 million yuan of imported money to pay to the Song Dynasty."

"What should I give? It's just a gimmick! The Liao Dynasty only paid the Song Dynasty with seven-year-old coins. Internally, it issued bonds and collected 3.5 million yuan in imported money, which they could freely use until the iron works came out.

As far as steel!"

"With these 3.5 million coins, can the Prime Minister create several more grain-producing areas for the Liao Kingdom within a few years? How much money has the Prime Minister made for the country with this entry and exit? How much money has been saved?

?”

"But this still doesn't belong to us? Should I ask Fengjin Bank to invest in the bond subscription? Or buy the land and convert it into farmland?"

"How could this be so?" Zhao Zhongqian rolled his eyes again: "Subscribing bonds, the Prime Minister wants His Majesty to know that you are as rich as the country? If you buy land and convert it into farmland, how long will it take to get your money back? Are you not afraid of being impeached by the imperial censor and being disgraced?

"

Wang Jing shivered and shook his head repeatedly, but he was unwilling to give in: "This won't work, and that won't work, so we still haven't caught anything?"

With 300,000 yuan guaranteed and nothing gained, Zhao Zhongqian was delighted when he heard: "Prime Minister, let me ask you, if this thing can be done, will this bond be easy to sell?"

"A steady 50% interest rate, designated for easy sale."

"What if there is a merchant who has no imported money, only silk banknotes, but wants to buy bonds?"

"The imported money will become more popular, and the price of exchange with silk banknotes will change! Wait... we can make the difference!"

Zhao Zhongqian nodded and said cheerfully: "I don't know whether this thing can be done or not. As long as there is a leak, the ratio of imported money to silk banknotes will immediately change."

"Now the Prime Minister can quietly collect the imported money. When the news comes out, the Prime Minister will exchange the imported money into silk banknotes. The Prime Minister will naturally make a clean profit from the difference in price."

"Of course, if you want to maximize the benefits, this matter must be finally finalized and the bonds can be freely bought and sold. In this case, the five-year bonds will be popular for at least three years. The Prime Minister has a total of four years.

Use money to compare prices."

"If there are a few more twists and turns in the middle, such as negotiations reaching a deadlock, or equipment being unable to arrive due to strong winds... we may be able to make a few more profits in the middle."

Wang Jing was about to be stunned by the great happiness: "I heard that the ships of the Song Dynasty are not afraid of wind and waves..."

"This is news!" Zhao Zhongqian lit Wang Jing's desk with the folding fan again: "As long as it is news, of course it is true or false!"

"But only we know what is true and what is false! Make sure you make money!"

Wang Jing finally understood that this was taking people's money and the country's assets to make profits for himself.

Without having to spend a single penny, I can safely start a business worth 3.5 million yuan.

Several times!

No wonder Zhao Langjun said that those things before were just petty profits!

Of course, this is actually taking advantage of the merchants, and it will definitely kill many people.

But if you are willing to admit defeat, I will let them die!

Seeing that Wang Jing finally understood, Zhao Zhongqian handed him over and said, "Congratulations, Prime Minister, I will earn a great reputation this time. Your Majesty will definitely value you."

Wang Jing thought to himself that since he had decided to start robbing money, he could have given up on his conscience and face: "How can you still have a reputation?"

Zhao Zhongqian said in surprise: "When the value of imported money increased greatly, in order to stabilize the country's economy and protect the value of silk banknotes, Wang Xianggong destroyed his family and exchanged his family's imported money with merchants."

"When the value of silk banknotes rebounded, my husband exchanged them for imported money to meet the needs of the market and economy."

"This is what others abandon and I take, and what others take I abandon. What kind of selflessness is this? How is this serving the country and the people? What kind of incorruptibility is this, treating money like dirt?"

"What?" Wang Jing's eyes were already straight: "You can still explain it this way..."

Zhao Zhongqian took out two things and put them on Wang Jing's desk: "For the common interests of you and me, and with the sincerity of your Majesty, I give the Prime Minister three gifts."

One is a smooth white steel rod with a steel wheel on it, a set is a weird knife head, and the other is a shiny gold pocket watch.

Zhao Zhongqian said: "Of these three things, one can illustrate the strength of the bearings of our machine tools, one can illustrate the hardness of the cutting tools, and the other can illustrate the accuracy of the machining. The Prime Minister will take it to the Chamber of Commerce to see, and he will definitely be able to
