Chapter 48: Forming a Foreign Bank

The waiter put away their tableware and asked respectfully what else they wanted. Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said, "Let's go ahead and have a pot of coffee!"

By the way, Yang Yuanzhao also settled the account. The Citibank check book tore off a 50 pound check, which made the waiter and Habi's eyes a little straightened. Especially Habi, he had long estimated that Yang Yuanzhao's identity would be so rich.

The pound in 1908 was not the pound that was in the future. The current exchange rate was that one ounce of gold was about 4 pounds, equal to 20 US dollars, or 40 yuan. The pound could definitely be called the most important currency in the world. None of them, something that was directly priced at gold, even a check, was enough to attract attention.

The coffee is here, the mellow taste is the benefit of this era. There is no cost or additives, it is authentic and there is no industrial processing stuff. Yang Yuanzhao took a sip and said, "Mr. Habi, how do you feel about this meal?"

"It's true that it's well-deserved and delicious, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's too expensive!" Hubby said embarrassedly. He ate hundreds of marks in one meal, which he had never experienced in most of his life, although it was delicious.

"Mr. Habi is a little too concerned about himself. Perhaps in the future, Mr. Habi wants to eat this every day, it is possible!" Yang Yuanzhao said with some reference.

It is simply unimaginable to eat a meal of more than 500 marks every day. Hubby's mind was a little buzzing, but he quickly woke up. The other party was definitely a rich man. He had such a big bet and must have something to ask for. Sure enough, after enjoying the delicious meal, Yang Yuanzhao went straight to the point and took out a contract.

Like the previous corporate plan, it is somewhat similar to later contracts, which distributed their respective rights and obligations in detail. The contract is not short, but it is very simple. It took almost half an hour. Habi finished reading everything in the contract, one by one, afraid of missing each one. After repeated analysis, he found that it was not that he had read it wrong. The contract clearly wrote many terms in Chinese and German clearly. His Chinese may only be enough, but it is clearly marked on German. If there are any objections to the two contracts, it is mainly German.

Hubi was at a desperate situation at this moment. In his opinion, if he did not encounter any miracles, there was only one way to go to bankruptcy. What he thought before was that as long as Yang Yuanzhao could give a similar treatment, he would definitely agree, but he didn't know that it was actually like this.

Hubby said solemnly: "Sir, today is not April Fool's Day!"

"I know it's not April Fool's Day, am I serious?"

Hubby looked at Yang Yuanzhao in amazement. What she showed was a clear look in Yang Yuanzhao's eyes, with very generous conditions. She had a monthly salary of 1,000 marks and a bonus of additionally calculated. She could enjoy a total dividend of 1% per year. Not to mention the dividends behind, the bonuses ahead were already first-class. Not to mention in Shanghai, even in Germany, she could not find such generous treatment.

At this moment, Habi had no way to go, but at the last moment, he had a chance. Even a life-saving straw, he had to grab it, take a deep breath, and said, "I did it, what do I need me to do!"

"Very good!" Yang Yuanzhao patted his palms gently and said, "With courage, you will feel proud of your decision today."

The Habi who agreed to Yang Yuanzhao, I don’t know what kind of pie it was that hit him. It was the dividend he didn’t value, which turned him from a small businessman on the verge of bankruptcy to a powerful business tycoon.

A 5,000 pound Citibank notice was pushed up, and Yang Yuanzhao said: "Next, you use this 5,000 pound to register a foreign company and start buying gasoline in large quantities. As for the things sold, just do it in Shanghai casually. I don't care about this. Gasoline must be guaranteed. If the funds are used up, just notify me immediately."

"Yes!" Hubby said obediently.

Leaving the matter to the right person has always been Yang Yuanzhao's idea. Habi was the one he chose after many choices. Yang Yuanzhao was quite at ease with him.

In the afternoon, a child brought Habi's message. The foreign company had already registered and was looking for a foreign company location. He had three choices. I hope Yang Yuanzhao will come and have a trip.

Yang Yuanzhao was surprised that Habi's quick movements might be because of foreigners. The Engineering Bureau of the Concession had fewer difficulties. The three locations were all near the Huangpu River, where the entire Shanghai was absolutely core.

At around 3 pm, Yang Yuanzhao took a rickshaw to the first location. It was a small four-story building that looked very spacious and large. However, his door was not the most prosperous Huangpu River, but came in by the Huangpu River and walked two intersections inside.

When Hubi was waiting at the door, he saw Yang Yuanzhao coming and said respectfully: "Boss, the better I have been with the owner of the house. Do you want to take a look?"

"What do you think about these three houses? After all, foreign companies need you to run them. I'll listen to your opinions!"

"The best location for the three houses is on the Huangpu River, but the surroundings are all Oceanic Farms, which is not conducive to our development!" Habi said, looking at Yang Yuanzhao with some timidity. He had just had a contact with Yang Yuanzhao. Yang Yuanzhao's grandeur made him sigh that such a good boss cannot be easily offended. He can give out 5,000 pounds at one time. In this era, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Yang Yuanzhao nodded. The most concentrated place in foreign companies is definitely the place with the highest commercial value. If he only runs a foreign company, he might have set up the foreign company there, but he is not. He just used the guise of foreign companies to cover up and did not intend to focus on him!

"Where are the other two?"

"The other two are the ones we see now!" Hubby pointed to the small foreign building in front of him and introduced: "This foreign building is a German businessman. He has been in China since 1890 and has been in Shanghai for 18 years. Now, he is in his 50s. If I want to return to Germany, I also learned about this news through a friend of the Chamber of Commerce. The price is very suitable!"

"How much?"

“1200 pounds!”

1,200 pounds, or about 12,000 silver dollars, in Shanghai, this is really not a high price. You should know that since Shanghai became a paradise for adventurers, the prices of houses in the concession have been growing rapidly. This price is at least 20% cheaper than the surrounding land prices. Of course, it also has to be related to the German's rush to return to China. I have to say that this is a big cheaper.

Yang Yuanzhao had actually made a decision in his mind, but he wanted to hear the last place, so that he could determine Habi's true thoughts. Sure enough, Habi introduced the last place, which was similar to this place, and was also carefully selected, but rented, with a monthly price of 200 oceans.

Overall, Habi has screened out suitable houses as much as possible, which is consistent with his previous observations. This place is a little remoter than the Bund, but it also belongs to the core area of ​​the concession. It is less than 3 blocks away from the most core Huangpu River. Not far away, there is a police house and some departments of the concession, which can be considered a safe place.

Yang Yuanzhao nodded, but said nothing. Soon, the butler of the foreign building came. This was a typical Bavarian, in his seventies or eighties, but he was very smart. He took them around quietly, but it was limited to the structure and layout of the entire house. They were allowed to see what they should see, but there was no one they should not see.

After a while, Yang Yuanzhao was very satisfied and made a little change. As a foreign company, it should be good. In Yang Yuanzhao's view, the foreign company he established is obviously different from other foreign companies. There is no need to purchase scattered goods. Even if there is an export, it can be solved by the four majors. At most one or two years, when Baotou's thorough layout is over and can produce products continuously, are you afraid that there will be no products?

"Okay, I'm very satisfied with your ability. If you negotiate with the owner, you will buy this room. I asked to open the foreign company within 3 days and find a warehouse for me by the way."

"Warehouse!" Hubi was puzzled. He didn't know what Yang Yuanzhao was going to do in the warehouse, but he did it according to the method Yang Yuanzhao said.
