Chapter 766 Onboard! Eight

But that night, Yasuda's main body, Nagatoshima, rushed to the hotel where Qian Xiaobao stayed and invited him to meet Yasuda Shinsaburo.

"How much money do you still need?" Yasuda Zensanro asked straight to the point.

"The workability funds for purchasing land training employees to build factories and purchase cotton will be $300,000," Qian Xiaobao replied.

The current price of land and labor in Japan is still very low, and the construction cost is not high. Thanks to the Americans, whose bombing has caused a large area of ​​free land in Japan to come out.

The military factory was blown up and no other factory has been filled.

"Yamada is willing to invest another $300,000, on the condition that it will hold another 20% of the shares." said Yoshisaburo Yasuda.

Yasuda Bank has invested US$100,000 to account for 5% of the shares, and if there is additional investment, it will account for 25%.

"Mr. Yasuda, I have already talked with the people from the Sumitomo Consortium. They are willing to invest 100,000 US dollars to account for 5% of the shares. You can invest another US$200,000 to increase the equity by 10%." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"You are lying! I know everything. You have never contacted Sumitomo's people yet!" Yoshisaburo Yasuda said angrily.

"I have already contacted me. Earl Komatsu personally called their president. I will go to see President Sumitomo tomorrow just to go through the process." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Yoshisaburo Yasuda stared at Qian Xiaobao for a long time and said in a gentle tone: "Yamada is the first person to really invest in you, but Mr. Takashima's attitude is not very friendly to us."

"I am very grateful to Mr. Yasuda for his optimistic view of our Takashima Textiles, but the 300,000 US dollars accounted for 20% of the shares. In addition, you may be the largest shareholders of the original 5%. " Qian Xiaobao said.

"However, in order to express our gratitude to Yasuda, I am still willing to increase your capital by 200,000 US dollars, accounting for 10% of the shares, and it cannot be more." Qian Xiaobao said.

"I have sent someone to investigate and even sent someone to Shanghai. You have no money now, otherwise those equipment can be shipped back in one go, so don't be too stubborn." said Yoshisaburo Yasuda.

"Since Mr. Yasuda has investigated, don't Sumitomo and Mitsui people investigate? Now they all know that I am not a liar, and those equipment is waiting for shipment in Shanghai. As long as I give me a little more shipping fee, I can ship all back." Qian Xiaobao said.

Qian Xiaobao suddenly stood up and said, "This is your last chance. Is it difficult for us to get tens of thousands of dollars in freight? After the equipment is shipped to Osaka, I will use all the equipment to mortgage the bank. You will have no chance at that time!"

Yoshisaburo Yasuda finally surrendered.

"The US$300,000 is all funded by Yasuda Bank, and it is still the original price, accounting for 15% of the shares." Yasuda Yoshisaburo said. In this way, Yasuda's total shareholding in Takashima Textile is 20%.

"No, I can only invest 200,000 US dollars, accounting for 10% of the shares!" Qian Xiaobao would never give in.

President Takashima must not become a decoration in Takashima Textile because of his low shareholding.

Qian Xiaobao returned to the hotel excitedly an hour later.

"Abe, take a note." Qian Xiaobao said.

The two sat next to the table, and Lieutenant Abe prepared paper and pen.

"Yamata Bank invested a total of US$300,000 to 15% of the shares. There should be no problem when I went to Sumitomo tomorrow. Let them invest US$100,000 to 5% of the shares." Qian Xiaobao said.

Second Lieutenant Abe recorded on paper.

"The six people you brought back when you ran away from Dalian, except Kawakami Cao Chang, each of them is one percent of the shares. Kawakami Cao Chang is now the police station director. I am optimistic about him and are ready to invest in him and give him two percent of the shares." Qian Xiaobao continued.

"You have been cooperating with me in the past two years. There are so many things that you can't do without you. You hold 5% of the shares and Dashangang holds 2% of the shares." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Actually, the hardest thing to do after arriving in Japan is you. Without you, we will not be able to have Takashima Textiles!" Second Lieutenant Abe said sincerely.

"It's thanks to your help." Qian Xiaobao replied.

"Actually, Professor Ogasawara has helped me think about a lot of things during this period. He gave him two percent of the shares. He turned out to be three percent of the shares of Earl Komatsu, and also gave him three percent of the shares to Chief Akio Toshiki. It turned out that General Yamamoto Toshi and Colonel Tsuji Masato of the Kanto Army Intelligence Department were one percent of the shares. I recruited in Shanghai, Masahiro Okamoto, who is very capable. From now on, we will rely on him. He has three percent of the shares." Qian Xiaobao said.

"What should I do if those dozen people from the Navy?" asked Second Lieutenant Abe.

He refers to Kawaguchi Masaoyoshi and Sasaki Ryuji.

"I don't like these people doing things. Professor Ogasawara said that some people would rather give more money than give shares. Giving them more money may make them happier. The whaling ship is also managed by them." Qian Xiaobao replied.

Second Lieutenant Abe lowered his head and calculated, saying, "There are still 53% of the shares left, and these are all yours."

"I can't say that it's all mine, I can only say that it's up to me to manage it for the time being. In the future, I will have to give some to others. The money I earn is 53% of the dividends of the shares and will be distributed to those in difficulty." Qian Xiaobao shook his head and said.

I was moved to hear President Takashima say this.

Both of them were very excited after the matter was discussed.

Qian Xiaobao and Lieutenant Abe lay on the windowsill while smoking while looking at the scenery outside the window. Two years ago, the place that was bombed into scorched earth by American planes has begun to be built into pieces of houses.

"Abe, among us, you are the only one who graduated from a non-commissioned officer school and has received training in Nakano School. You are proficient in Russian and English. You need to do many things in the future. For example, after the equipment is installed, I will send you to India to buy cotton. In the future, you will leave all such things to you." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Hi!" Second Lieutenant Abe replied.

Due to climate reasons, India produces a lot of cotton. However, the cotton they produce has to be bought from British textile factories due to the British suzerain. Other countries cannot buy Indian cotton without the consent of the United Kingdom, and they cannot sell their textiles to British colonies, including India, no matter how low the price, the quality is good.

But now the situation has begun to change. After World War II, Britain's strength was severely weakened, and the independence movements in various colonies were in full swing.

The hugely influential Mahatma of India called on all Indians to exclude British goods and set off a massive hand-crafted textile movement.

Due to sharp decline in demand, many textile factories in Lancashire, a textile center in the UK, have now stopped production or reduced production. This has caused a backlog of a large amount of cotton in India.

The Japanese textile industry, which had just recovered, began to go to India to acquire cotton.

"President, you know so much!" Second Lieutenant Abe exclaimed.
