1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 8 When Preparations Are In Progress ([-])

"This is Mr. Schneider."

In a private room of a Chinese restaurant in downtown Guangzhou that night, Baiks introduced the firefighting experts who had just arrived from the airport to several members of the preparatory committee.

"Mr. Schneider is a European?" Looking at this burly guest with a tall nose and deep eyes, coupled with this European-like name, Tao Donglai couldn't help but wonder, does Baix really plan to bring in a foreigner to join the team? !

However, some unexpectedly, this Schneider's Chinese is actually very authentic: "No no no, although I am one-eighth of German blood, I think I am undoubtedly the same Chinese as you, please pay attention to me I have black eyes like everyone else. As for my appearance... I think it can only be explained by genetic mutation. By the way, my surname is Shi, and Schneider is not a transliterated name, but my Chinese name. Be kind and generous, bear hardships and stand hard work, and have both ability and political integrity.”

Tao Donglai scolded inwardly, "Fake foreign devils still know how to drop book bags", suppressed the thought of asking him what his relationship with Shi Nai'an was, and invited everyone to join the table.

After three rounds of drinking, Schneider took the initiative to talk: "I heard that you are planning to go to an undeveloped place to do a big business. I don't know if there is anything I can do for you?"

"But after we go to that place, it is very likely that we will not return to this civilized society. Does Mr. Shi have any concerns about this?" Although there is already an idea of ​​​​joining Raschneider, the necessary temptation before this is still. to do.As the head of the team, Tao Donglai is naturally responsible for this work.

Schneider grinned, showing his neat and white teeth: "I've long been tired of the current society of intrigue and deceit. For me, the world 400 years ago was as pure as heaven!"

Tao Donglai also smiled: "Ming people don't speak secretly. If you have any thoughts, Mr. Shi might as well say it directly. It would be boring to waste everyone's time going around in circles."

Schneider shrugged. "Okay, then I'll get it straight. For some reason I have to remain anonymous for a long time, and if I don't do that I might be in danger of dying. Suppose I have to find a Where to hide yourself, is there a better choice than another time and space? Of course, as an experienced financial practitioner, I believe that my professional knowledge will definitely help your career, I am completely It can be your help rather than a burden.”

The few people present exchanged glances with each other, and they all thought the same thing in their hearts - it seems that this guy has committed a lot of things, why is he here to join the revolution, and it is clear that he is looking for a place to escape!

Tao Donglai coughed dryly: "With all due respect, Mr. Shi, you're not carrying a murder case, are you?"

"Murder? No, no, no! Of course not! I'm a very kind person!" Schneider blushed and defended: "I just accidentally made some operational mistakes at work, which caused some important customers... A small loss."

Schneider probably knew that such a statement was difficult to have enough credibility, and immediately changed the subject: "Mr. Bai specially called me to come from Shanghai as soon as possible, there must be something that can help me?"

Tao Donglai nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, our preparations have encountered financial difficulties. I wonder if Mr. Shi can solve it?"

Schneider pondered: "If the amount is not large, it's very simple. I can get three to five million now..."

"If that's the case, we won't be in a hurry to invite you to Guangzhou." Baix interrupted Schneider: "Our financial difficulties may be much greater than the number you said!"

"Oh? That's not a problem. I have many financing methods to get money, but first of all you have to tell me, how much time can you give me?" Facing the question of the financial profession, Schneider's reaction was much calmer than before.

"We initially plan to act in March or April next year, but we must complete the preparations for major materials by the end of this year at the latest, because in the last few months, our work will focus on collective skills training. What is needed now is to get as much funds as possible before the end of the year." Tao Donglai did not propose a specific number or time limit, and wanted to use this to see if Schneider could come up with some dry goods.

This time, Schneider was silent for a long time, until the impatient Ning Qi and Yan Chujie were about to lose patience, he opened his mouth slowly: "Without regard to the consequences, I think we should be able to get 2000 million yuan before the end of October. If you are lucky enough, you can probably get about 1000 million before the end of the year... What I can assure you is that the funds that can be obtained before next year's action will not be less than 500 million. This is really because the time is too short , if the time is longer, we can also have more flexible means of operation."

In fact, this number has exceeded the expectations of the Preparatory Committee, but Tao Donglai has some doubts about his statement: "I am very satisfied with this number, but I want to know what you mean by reckless?"

Schneider explained patiently: "Generally speaking, the most effective way to solve the problem of funding gaps in a short period of time is debt financing. But I think everyone is now desperately dealing with fixed assets under their own names. Dealing with a huge amount of mortgage loan is not so easy. Even if you can get some luck in the end, I am afraid that time will not allow. Everyone knows that I am a foreign trade business. In fact, foreign trade orders themselves can be used to finance loans. If these orders With a large enough base and proper operation, it is not difficult to get a large amount of short-term loans. Of course, reckless means that we do not intend to repay these loans at all. In layman's terms, it is a kind of financial fraud. ."

Schneider glanced at Tao Donglai and frowned, and before he could ask questions, he immediately continued to explain: "Boss Tao, don't worry about causing unnecessary trouble, because the target of my financing will not be in China at all. I used to work at Deloitte. When the firm was doing a cross-border tax audit, in order to help some clients obtain export tax rebates, a number of leather bag companies were registered in many countries. These companies have complete procedures and legal transaction records, which are perfect for implementing my plan. Countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia in Southeast Asia, where the relevant laws are not yet perfect, have so many loopholes that it is unimaginable. The flow of these money will be very hidden, and it will only enter your designated area after at least five cross-border transfers. account, and no one will be able to trace it in the short term.”

Schneider's plan sounds convincing and can stand up to scrutiny in the details. For the preparatory committee, which is in urgent need of money, cooperation should be the best choice.After the two parties discussed some specific operational issues, they basically reached a cooperation agreement: the preparatory committee and Schneider each contributed half of the funds to implement the plan. After the completion of the project, Schneider could obtain a temporary member seat on the preparatory committee and lead the whole process. Financial work across the group.Of course, this plan must be carried out under the supervision of the Preparatory Committee under the name of help.In Yan Chujie's words, the preparatory committee couldn't be put on the spot by Schneider, a mixed-race liar, before it deceived others, so the specific supervision work was handed over to Yan Chujie and his paramilitary personnel without any controversy. conduct.

But before the debate on whether the Chuan Group should maintain the purity of the Chinese bloodline came out on the forum, the news that Gu Kai brought back from the United States caused another uproar - it is said that a small group consisting of four Chinese and two foreign devils Under the introduction of Gu Kai, the team intends to join the crossing plan.This forum has been in a frenzy. Keyboard patriots have advocated that "people who are not of our race must have different hearts", and some radicals claim that they should expel "banana people" like Gu Kai and Schneider from the team. Row.

However, the members of the Preparatory Committee who really hold the power of review do not think so. This is not because the spirit of internationalism has played a role, but because these people are indeed rare talents, and the Preparatory Committee has no way to rush people out. .

Among these six people, two American foreign devils are doctors, specializing in surgery and cardiovascular medicine respectively.Three of the other four Chinese are engineering majors, two in mechanical manufacturing and one in chemical engineering, and the remaining one is specialized in astronomy, which seems to be of little use, but it is rare that this guy has participated in the famous Vendee list three times. When it comes to sailing around the world, the current traversing team is unparalleled in terms of actual sailing experience. Even the two graduates of Dalian Maritime University are only inferior. The role of such talents on the team is self-evident. .

And Yan Chujie, who has always been prone to nationalism, after carefully reviewing the resumes of the small team, was also rarely relieved and said that "a small number of non-Chinese talents can be introduced in a planned way."This is not because the interviewer gave him some private bribe, but because his qualifications make him not to be underestimated.Three of these six people, including two foreign devils, had served in the army. The other six people were all members of the NRA, that is, the National Rifle Association, and they shot more than 400 rounds of live ammunition every year.Although they have never been on the battlefield officially, they already have basic infantry combat skills and have received formal CQB (close quarters combat) training.This has greatly exceeded the requirements of Yan Chujie's military training plan for the basic militia level. It would have been a special warfare unit [-] years ago.

In addition to their professional skills, these people have the status of members of the National Rifle Association, which can also allow the Preparatory Committee to obtain highly professional opinions in the next arms purchase, and save a lot of unnecessary trouble in the purchase ring .After thinking about it, the Preparatory Committee could not find a reason to keep these people out, so Yan Chujie's military and police department finally expanded its strength logically.Most of the members chose to accept it after seeing the overseas legion information released by the Preparatory Committee, and only a very small number of "Nurse Guard" members were still clamoring to "swear to the death to protect the purity of the blood of the next generation of Nurse Sister".But what everyone didn't expect at this time was that it was the introduction of talent this time that laid the foundation for the "non-Chinese group" that was formed in the Transcendent Congregation.
