Chapter 1483 Competitive Relationship
A well-known business figure like Li Nai, every move, every word and deed will be interpreted by others in various ways.In addition, he and Haihan have always been very close, and this suddenly appeared in Liaodong, but no one would think that he came here to travel here for free.Even when He Li knew his identity, he immediately regarded him as the most threatening competitor at present.
It is naturally not only because Li Nai is the boss of the Golden Shield Protection Luck and has many privileges that are unattainable for ordinary people, but also because of his family background.The Li family where Li Nai is located is one of the leading merchants in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Fu Ruifeng Commercial Bank operated by everyone in the Pearl River Basin is known to everyone. Just a branch under the golden signboard.
People in the industry know that the history of Furuifeng’s fortune is also inseparable from Haihan. This small business firm based in a corner of Guangzhou at first, after receiving the support of Haihan, quickly accumulated wealth, and then in just a few minutes. During the year, it has grown into a big businessman in the south of Daming.It is said that even those islands in the South China Sea that are thousands of miles away from Daming already have the semicolon of Furuifeng.In this way, it seems that it is not an unimaginable move for Furuifeng to extend its tentacles to the north through its subordinate branches.
But the question is, will Furuifeng's intervention squeeze out the opportunities and shares of other peers?Moreover, Furuifeng has also joined business alliances such as the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce and the South China Sea Business Alliance in the south. If these real business giants also enter the north later, retail investors like He Li and the others will not have much room for manipulation. Yes, this is something that they must pay attention to.
Businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang cautiously chatted with each other, trying to extract more information from just a few words.But the businessmen from Fuguang are also not newbies. They can be selected by Haihan and come all the way to investigate. Naturally, their financial resources and intelligence will not be bad. How can they not hear the temptation in the other party's words.The businessmen of Fuguang naturally also had their own plans, and they corresponded with their mouths without leaking.
These businessmen are all human beings, and it is not so easy to get rid of them.Both sides have their own thoughts, and neither will easily show their cards.Liu Shang and Tan Wei, who were in contact in the center, also knew the thoughts of these businessmen, but since they had already warned them, Liu Shang and Tan Wei were also happy to watch the excitement.
The above did not explain to them why the two groups of people were arranged to reach Liaodong, but they would never think that this arrangement was caused by mistakes.In their eyes, the chiefs are all masters who are exhausted, and naturally it is impossible not to predict what will happen when these two groups of people meet.Since this is not a mistake, there is only one possibility left - the top is to let them meet in Liaodong, or to say that they need the wonderful response that will occur after they meet.
What will happen after these two groups of people meet has now been presented to Liu Shang and Qin Wei.Obviously, the businessmen in the two places have a strong sense of competition, and have a clear sense of precaution against their counterparts from the south.As for what role the top wants to play, Liu Shang and Tan Wei have already understood, because both sides have said that they have negotiated a long-term investment project with the local chief executive Sha Xi, and the next step will be very long. will soon enter the implementation phase.
Have these businessmen negotiated investment projects with Shaxi?indeed talked about.But is it all finalized?Not necessarily.In fact, most people in Lushun didn't make up their minds, because they didn't come to the front line to see for themselves, and no one dared to put real money and silver in this barren Liaodong with such confidence.If there is, it is probably a die-hard follower of Li Nai who doesn't care about how and how much he earns.
But this kind of uncertainty will not be exposed in front of their peers. On the contrary, they will have to show a certain attitude and let their peers know that they have decided to settle here, so that they may be able to let the other side retreat. .And such a competitive state may be what Haihan executives want to see.
Among these people, Li Nai was indeed somewhat detached.Although the family also asked him to take a look at the investment environment in Liaodong, his original purpose of coming here was just to relax.He has been living in the south for the past 30 to [-] years, and has never been to Liaodong. Now that the Haihan people have expanded their control area here, he naturally wants to open his eyes.
As for investment, Haihan people say that it is worth investing in, so it is good to invest. Anyway, in the past few years, thanks to Haihan's blessing, he has made a lot of money. Li Nai has almost blind trust in Haihan.So he doesn't care what other people think. Since this trip is here, he will spend tens of thousands of taels before leaving to build a commercial store here and get a special wharf. If he can enclose the land and build a plantation, then he will do it by the way. Then circle a few thousand acres of land.According to past experience, the money invested can be repaid in two or three years at most, and all the money will be earned later.
But not caring, doesn't mean he doesn't understand the current intrigue between the two parties.Although Li Nai has always had little interest in doing business, his brain is really not bad, otherwise he would not have been favored by Haihan and supported him all the way to his current status.Why do these people act? He actually understands that acting is not a hobby, it's all for profit.However, he will not expose these little tricks in a disappointing manner. Many of these merchants from Fuguang are partners of Furuifeng. Since people are willing to find a little different kind of fun, of course he also has the beauty of an adult.It's just that he lacked interest in this kind of social occasion. After a few words of greetings, he found a reason to leave the group, and then went straight to the headquarters of Sujiabao.
In a place like the headquarters, outsiders are naturally not allowed to enter casually. Li Nai also understands the rules of the Haihan Army, and took the initiative to report his identity, saying that he is here to deliver the military supplies shipped to Liaodong with the military.Although he only transferred one ship from the commercial firm this time, it was one of the largest sea ships under the name of Golden Shield Escort.Since it is a big ship, it would be too wasteful to only use it to carry him and a few personal attendants, so when he set out from the south, he took over a mission to transport ordnance from the Ministry of Defense by the way, lest the ship run empty. .
Rao is so, if the freight is used to deduct the expenses of thousands of miles back and forth for this group of people on the ship, not only will there be no surplus, but a sum of money will be added.It seems that only a person like Li Nai who is rich and does not care about profit and loss can make such a move.However, Li Nai's idea is different, less losses should be earned. Although he did not intend to make money from this trip, it is always good to collect some money to make up for the expenses.
Li Nai only waited for a moment at the entrance of the command department before an officer came out and brought him in.Li Nai went inside and saw that almost all of the Haihan generals he knew were present, and it seemed that a battle meeting was being held.
"Did I come at an untimely time? Or I'll go out first and come back when you guys have settled the business." Li Nai was very knowledgeable when he saw this, and he didn't care about meeting a few people one by one. a sin.
Qian Tiandun greeted him, "Don't see the third young master, the chairs are all set for you, sit down and talk!"
In addition to Qian Tiandun, Harrugong, Chen Yixin, Morgan, and Tom Wang were all acquaintances they had known before, especially the commander of the Navy, Tom Wang, because he often traveled between Haihan and Daming, but Li Nai had found a lot of them. On the pretext of taking his ship "Majesty", the personal relationship between the two is really good.Moreover, everyone has always had a good impression of Li Nai, a progressive businessman from Ming Dynasty, and they are willing to treat him as a friend after long-term contact.
Everyone in the military was indeed in a meeting just now, but the discussion was not about the combat plan, but the recent battle with the enemy in Jinzhou has become more and more difficult. The opponent has obviously gradually adapted to Haihan's combat method, so the military intends to reactivate the past. The combat plan, with the navy as the center, deploys troops to the areas behind enemy lines in Liaodong by sea to carry out harassment warfare.
Before Haihan marched into Liaodong, there was also a period of time when the Shandong Zhifu Port was the base, and the same combat mode was carried out on the coastal areas of Liaodong.However, compared to that time, the navy that has built a naval port at Port Arthur is obviously much more convenient in terms of supply and deployment, and the fleet's range of activities and endurance have also been significantly improved compared to before.Therefore, the corresponding combat plan should also be adjusted according to the current situation, in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Although the navy is the main body of the battle, other arms must also participate, especially the battle on land. It is impossible for Tom Wang's Marine Corps to monopolize this military exploit.However, this kind of special operation is bound to draw some troops from the Jinzhou isthmus defense line, which will definitely weaken the existing defense system to a certain extent. Therefore, the military must also make a defense plan in advance to prevent the Jin army from taking advantage of the situation. enter.
When Li Nai came, things had already been negotiated, so they let him in immediately. It wasn't that the military really trusted him without reservation.
After Li Nai received a positive answer, he greeted everyone present, then sat on the chair that had just moved in, and said to everyone, "It's still the old rules, do business first, and then talk about friendship. I personally escort the incoming goods along the way, to ensure that there is no problem. The ship is now parked on the east coast, waiting for you to send someone over to count the goods. "
After Li Nai finished speaking, he took out an order, Qian Tiandun nodded, and Chen Yixin got up and took it.He is now in charge of the supply of these logistical materials, and he is also responsible for the counting of goods and the delivery of money.After Chen Yixin looked at the manifest, he said to Qian Tiandun, "It's the same as the one sent by telegram. I'll send someone to the ship to check it out later."
As for the freight settlement, there is no need to worry about it. Li Nai has been a loyal customer of Haihan Bank a few years ago. This kind of silver settlement is made by the military, and Li Nai can transfer it to the bank at any time. There is also no need to consider the inconvenience of carrying.Chen Yixin doesn't need to talk about this kind of thing, and Li Nai won't ask too much.
After the errand was handed over, Li Nai took the initiative to talk about the situation in Liaodong: "I am familiar with Chief Sha, and when he invited me to Liaodong, I thought it was just for fun, why did I need to come here? To cooperate with them in acting? He arranged for two groups of people to meet here by chance, so it would be more enjoyable to hold an investment promotion meeting, so as to avoid the trouble for everyone."
Qian Tiandun said with a smile: "Then you don't know something, these people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang don't trust us as much as you do, and it takes a lot of effort to make them take the reassurance to invest and develop in Liaodong. Xi said that if they want to make a decision as soon as possible, they have to give them a little external pressure. How does this pressure come? There will be pressure naturally when there is competition.”
Li Nai replied: "According to the general's intention, then our Fuguang merchants have become a tool to put pressure on them?"
Qian Tiandun said: "I can't say that. You have invested money here, and it will not be as profitable in the future. If you really want to ask Sha Xi, he must still trust Fuguang merchants a little more. After all, it was his idea to invite you to come and inspect. "
Li Nai nodded slightly and said: "It's no wonder that almost everyone in the team going north this time is familiar with him. It turns out that they have already made plans."
Sha Xi was in charge of commerce and immigration at the Guangzhou Office and Hong Kong Island at the beginning. Over the years, he has naturally accumulated some local contacts, so this time when drawing up the list of merchants invited to Liaodong for inspection, he did not blindly choose the big ones. , but specially selected some well-informed merchants.Of course, Li Nai is a special case. Even if he doesn't send a letter to invite him, as long as he finds out about this, he will take the initiative to chase him here.
Sha Xi invited a group of acquaintances to come over, naturally, to make it easier for him to control the situation.Li Nai didn't clearly realize this before, but after Qian Tiandun made it clear, he immediately understood Sha Xi's intention.
Sha Xi is not familiar with the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and obviously he cannot rely too much on these people to help him develop Liaodong, so Sha Xi plans to bring a group of acquaintances from the Fuguang area, at least to help him develop his business. The development shelf is put up.At the same time, it can also put some pressure on businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, making them realize that even though this place in Liaodong is still deserted, the competition for development rights has already begun.
Of course Li Nai doesn't mind helping Sha Xi and his fellow villagers. Anyway, the money must be invested. If you give Zu Sha Xi face here, there will definitely be more lucrative returns in the future.Li Nai naturally knew this simple truth.
