At night, after a busy day, Elizabeth, with disheveled hair, lay on the bed and looked at Zhu Xianhai and said.
“I don’t think taking out a loan is necessarily a good idea right now.”
Earlier at the dinner table, when Buffett, who had just returned to Nanhua, mentioned using loans to develop the company to alleviate the company's current lack of funds, she, as the hostess, did not express her opinion, but only now did she express her opinion.
"Oh why?"
"My dear, you have to know that with the profits of Helen Pharmacy, anyone would be jealous, including bankers and Buffett."
Elizabeth's reminder made Zhu Xianhai shake his head and smile.
"It's no big deal."
After taking a puff of cigarette, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"Men don't care about loyalty. They are loyal because the stakes of betrayal are too low! As long as the benefits are great enough, it is enough to maintain his loyalty."
In modern society, Zhu Xianhai has seen too much intrigue and deception, and the so-called "loyalty" is often just a joke.
Buffett’s loyalty...as long as the benefits are sufficient, his loyalty will be guaranteed. Of course , he will also betray because of the benefits.
But, that's just his idea.
"Besides, I don't plan to use Helena as collateral. After all, mortgaging it is equivalent to handing over the sovereignty to others. Those bankers are all ruthless characters. How many bankers can be trusted? They are willing to lend us money, and maybe they are still thinking about our Helena? Once the loan is used here, I guess they will try every means to become our shareholders..."
With a sneer, Zhu Xianhai said.
"This time, I plan to get something for nothing!"
"What?"
Elizabeth was puzzled.
"It means not spending any money, or using the least cost, to get a loan, one million pounds, maybe two million, who knows? Maybe it will be several million pounds!"
Zhu Xianhai had a faint smile on his face while smoking. This idea had been forming in his mind for a long time. If successful, let alone millions of pounds, even several million would be no problem, and those people would definitely scramble to give him the money!
"How can this be?"
Elizabeth, who was originally too lazy to speak, stood up and said in surprise.
"It's just a preliminary idea..."
Looking at the woman's seductive figure, Zhu Xianhai reached out his hand again.
"So what are you going to do... um..."
The questions in the woman's mouth turned into whimpering moans, and this night would be another sleepless night.
…
At American Corporation, Buffett can definitely be said to have made "great contributions" and is definitely a successful "super salesman". It was he who opened up the market for Liposuction and aspirin.
Because Buffett's family is still in Buenos Aires, half a month ago, after he returned to Nanhua with a large number of machines after more than half a year of travel, Zhu Xianhai often invited him to his home for dinner.
"As arms dealers, our duty is to sell arms to both sides of the war, whether it is the South or the North, our duty is to sell them as much explosives as possible."
At present, explosives are one of the first products produced in large quantities by Nanhua. The reason is that the production process is simple - with nitric acid, sulfuric acid and glycerin, explosives can be produced continuously, and of course diatomaceous earth is also needed.
"Of course, the most important customer is the South! The South is the most important customer. Because the agricultural economy of the Confederacy is largely unable to provide a reliable supply of weapons, ammunition, uniforms, equipment, and even food for its army. So these supplies are what the Confederacy needs, and they are also the products we can provide in the future."
What will be the economic driving force of Nanhua in the future?
Of course it is American blood... no, it is exported to the United States.
It's just normal trade, at most it will add fuel to the fire. Who doesn't like adding fuel to the fire?
War profit!
Not only do we have to send it out, but we also have to make sure hundreds of thousands of Americans die!
“That seems difficult!”
As soon as Zhu Xianhai finished speaking, Buffett spoke.
"My friend, I was in New York when the war broke out. Almost as soon as the war broke out, President Lincoln of the United States announced the establishment of a naval blockade against the secessionist states. We know the shortcomings of the South, and Washington certainly knows the shortcomings of the South. They will definitely try every means to use the blockade fleet to economically clamp down on the Southern Confederacy, thereby weakening the South's war potential. Of course, the North's blockade may not be tight now, but in the future, as the war continues, it will definitely become tighter and tighter. Even if we are exporting some supplies to the South now, but in the future..."
Buffett shrugged his shoulders and said directly.
"I'm afraid it's difficult to continue to make this money. Instead of doing that, we might as well have a good relationship with Washington and export supplies to Washington. After all, our explosives are not only needed by the South, but also by the North."
Buffett's judgment is undoubtedly in line with the direction of historical development, but Zhu Xianhai does not think so. How can you make money from legitimate trade?
"Our products are needed by both the north and the south, and this is our advantage, but..."
Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"We must realize that as the war progresses, the tighter the blockade in the North, the greater the smuggling profits in the South. A tight blockade can allow us to obtain profits far beyond ordinary trade. Moreover, Buffett, you have to know that only when the South obtains sufficient supplies can they continue the war, and a qualified arms dealer is the kind that can keep the war going, which is what we want to do!"
Bai Duande in "Gone with the Wind" became rich because of the blockade of the North. Just as Buffett said, the blockade line in the North was indeed in name only at the beginning, but as the war continued, the blockade line was tightened day by day.
Only blockade can bring profits, just like the "special state" of a metropolis in another world under special circumstances. How do those so-called "groups" make money?
How did gunrunners make money during the Civil War?
It depends on the blockade in the north. The tighter the blockade, the higher the price of the goods can be sold and the higher the profit!
Buffett looked at Zhu Xianhai in surprise for a long time before speaking.
"This... you seem to be making money from the national disaster."
In response to his accusations, Zhu Xianhai spoke directly.
"For me, building a new country and destroying an old country are both the most profitable businesses. For now, we want to build a new country here, which requires a lot of money. Where does the money come from? There are many ways to make money, but no matter which channel, it is definitely not as profitable as destroying an old country."
Use the money earned from destroying the United States to build South China!
Is there anything more refreshing than this?
