Chapter 266 Counting the romantic figures(1/3)
What Park Zehu does is not a small business.
The areas he is involved in include the cotton textile industry, shipbuilding, mining, cement, and even natural gas.
The largest wooden steel plate ship, the Daitoyo, was built by this gentleman's "Daehan Shipping Company".
In the future, he will also get involved in the banking industry, and he will be one of the founders of South Korea's first commercial bank.
Therefore, as soon as I opened my mouth, I donated hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He said: "In the early stage, I will donate 100,000 yen to Mr. Zhao's God of War team. In the future, I will slowly increase it depending on the situation."
He was indeed very straightforward in his speech, which clearly told Zhao Chuanxin: If you do well, keep paying, if you don't do well, then say goodbye.
Over the years, he has donated too much money.
But not every penny is put to practical use.
Over time, even if he is patriotic, he is not willing to waste money.
100,000 yen is not that small.
The Japanese bought horse bones with thousands of gold, and the reward for Song Bingzhen was only 200,000 yuan.
Since Zhao Chuanxin does not want to pay out of his own pocket, the 100,000 can be regarded as early military expenses.
He cheerfully went about his daily routine: "Oh, you are so polite and generous. It is a great blessing to have a patriotic person like Brother Park in Korea. Why worry about not being able to regain sovereignty? Brother Park, what kind of business do you do?"
Park Zehu told him everything.
Zhao Chuanxin suddenly frowned: "Are you still engaged in the copper industry in Yunnan?"
"Yes, I am also engaged in shipping. The Americans mined rich copper deposits in Yunnan. I also participated in the trade of copper mines and also engaged in shipping. I made two profits."
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head, and for the sake of Pu Zehu's money, he decided to remind him: "Brother Pu, you have to pay attention this year. It is best to stop the copper industry before autumn, because something is going to happen."
Park Zehu was stunned: "No way. At this time, the price of copper has skyrocketed in the United States..."
Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart: If you don't obey me, you will have a share of the dirty money I earned.
A few years ago, the copper king Fritz Heinze established the United Copper Company of America. In 2002, the stock price reached as high as $80 million.
The annual copper production reaches 40 million tons.
But he has a mortal enemy-Anaconda Copper Company.
Anaconda Copper's annual output has reached an astonishing 140 million tons.
The two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, but Fritz Heinze has always been outgunned by Anaconda Copper Company.
He was quite unconvinced.
Subsequently, the two parties started a lawsuit to compete for a mineral right. Fritz Heinze lost, but he still went his own way and continued to mine the mine.
He doesn't take the court seriously.
In the end, Fritz Heinze paid a fine of 20,000 yuan and was able to escape easily.
First, this incident shows that the enforcement power of American courts was very low at this time.
Second, this reflects the characteristics of primitive accumulation of capitalism in the United States where the jungle is strong and the law is indifferent.
This brother Fritz Heinze was the trigger for the economic crisis that would soon follow.
If Park Zehu's copper business accounts for the majority of his business, he may lose everything in the future.
Zhao Chuanxin was unwilling to disclose any information about the crisis, but warned again: "Brother Park, we are all our own people, Zhao will not harm you. Carry on transportation with peace of mind, and we will deal with the rest after this year."
Park Zehu is doubtful.
But just like Zhao Chuanxin said, Zhao Chuanxin has no reason to harm Park Zehu.
"I'll go back and think about it."
Having been in the business world for many years, it is impossible for him to give up certain interests just because of Zhao Chuanxin's words.
Zhao Chuanxin also made tofu mixed with green onions and stir-fried clams. Pu Zehu enjoyed this simple meal at the seaside.
He asked: "Does Mr. Zhao also understand business?"
"I know a little bit about it, I have some small business in China, and large investments are mainly made in the United States."
Pu Zehu became interested. After eating and drinking, he put down his chopsticks and said: "I know many famous businessmen in Korea, such as Li Shangzai, Jin Yujun and others. These are patriotic businessmen who donated money and materials to the anti-Japanese struggle.
If Mr. Zhao can lead the God of War team to achieve something, they will also lend a helping hand. Moreover, we can actually cooperate with Mr. Zhao in business."
Zhao Chuanxin thought about it and realized that these Korean businessmen united were really a force that could not be ignored.
"I have some ideas, but I have to wait until next year. Then I will inform you that we will work together to make money from the Yankees."
Pu Zehu didn't know Zhao Chuanxin's financial strength, but considering that he could continuously form armed forces in the Qing Dynasty, it was definitely nonsense to say he had no money.
As long as it's not a blank slate, that's fine.
So the guests and hosts ate this meal as quickly as possible.
Pu Zehu left the money, and Zhao Chuanxin gave Pu Zehu a load of overseas goods and a horse brand poker for Pu Zehu to use for self-defense.
"Brother Pu, I see your hall is turning black. Take these clams and scallops back and cook them to replenish your health. I spent a lot of money to buy this gun. I have kept it for many years. I burn incense and pray to it every day and recite sutras.
Wen has already gained spiritual power, you can use it for self-defense."
Park Zehu: "..."
Park Zehu politely accepted the seafood.
He couldn't put it down for horse playing cards.
But I don’t believe those lies about Zhao Chuanxin burning incense and praying.
He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhao, see you later."
"Brother Pu, walk slowly and take care of yourself. If you need me, just pick up one of these homeless kids on the street and whisper a few words, and they will definitely bring you there."
Park Zehu is particularly convinced by this point.
Who would have thought of gathering a group of wandering wild children as an intelligence network?
……
Hasegawa is a rigorous and serious person.
He likes clocks.
At this time, he was holding a watch in his hand. It was a valuable gift from the emperor. It was worth a lot of money. It was a smaller and more delicate timepiece after the pocket watch. It was handmade in Switzerland. It is said that it takes a person to make such a watch.
Two years.
He likes to listen to the subtle grinding sound of the gears of the watch. Time is ground into particles of equal size between gears.
The thin voice will remind him that time is passing by and his career must be carried out more compactly. It will also make him forget the past when Zhao Chuanxin used nameless stinky liquid to insult him.
The smell seems to never dissipate in the mouthpiece, and it smells faintly.

Ito Hirobumi knocked on the door and opened the door after receiving a response.
"Commander Hasegawa, Li Xi did not attend the abdication ceremony, so I asked the eunuch to serve as a stand-in and completed the handover of the throne."
Hasegawa was stunned for a moment, this was too much fun.
Ito Hirobumi could probably guess what Hasegawa was thinking, so he said: "This was actually Li Wan's idea."
Hasegawa's good idea suddenly dawned on him.
Sure enough, if you want to govern Koreans, you have to rely on these guys.
This matter has become an established fact.
Hasegawa said kindly: "How should we deal with the concubine Pu Qichun who came to us for refuge?"
Ito Hirobumi thought for a while and said: "I think it should be publicized in newspapers."
Hasegawa Haodao frowned: "If this is the case, doesn't it tell the Korean people not to care about the Japanese, otherwise their lives will be in danger?"
This made Ito Hirobumi feel that Commander Hasegawa was really not suitable for civilian work and did not understand people's hearts.
He said calmly: "Publishing it in the newspaper will actually have a positive effect. Zhao Chuanxin killed Park Qichun and his wife and ransacked their home. This news will make the ministers who care about our Japanese empire sad, and they will work together to fight against Zhao Chuanxin. We are here
The newspaper only said that the God of War team killed people at will for money, but did not mention Park Qichun's identity. However, we also told Li Wanyong and others about this in private..."
Hasegawa Yoshidao admires these people's tricks and tricks.
He praised: "Killing two birds with one stone, a good strategy."
Just as he was talking, the secretary hurried in with the newspaper that just came out today.
Hasegawa Haodao glanced at the newspaper, and his expression suddenly changed.
Ito Hirobumi asked: "Commander Hasegawa, what happened?"
Hasegawa Yoshimichi first picked up the newspaper and read it, then handed it to Ito Hirobumi: "We don't need to publish it in the newspaper. The thief Zhao Chuanxin took the lead in fabricating the story and published it in the "Han Daily Report"."
