Qing Dynasty at that time.
“Daein. Thank you for today. Shehe!”
“Heh heh, look at this friend? Not like a sheep, the more you look at it, the more it’s an object.
“Yes!”
with daughter.
The main gate of the Guangdong large girru.
Peter was chasing hahahaha with the merchants of Guangdong Province and destroyed his seat. Colossians from Guangdong Province disappeared leisurely, with staff carrying gift packages in both hands.
Peter slowly lifted his bowed head.
“With this, I finished half of Guangdong Province…”
It was a long journey.
For nearly half a year, he has been traveling around, signing large contracts with the Shanghai Trade Bank, Daqing Bank, and Telecommunications Bank in Shanghai, Shaanxi Province, and Anhui Province and Yangjiang Province.
With the contract signed with the Shanghai real power, Chairman Sung Sun-hui, Kwan-xi was passing through the free pass.
“There’s quite a bit left.”
Sasak-
Peter erased a few Chinese characters from the list with a pen. The list he received from the Detroit director contained a list of thousands of people, he said, and it was delivered through HSBC Bank.
Peter shoved the black-stained list into his bosom.
“It’s a bloody neighborhood anyway.”
Peter wiped sweat from his forehead.
The high-class red light district, lined with large flags, was often used as a business place for high-ranking dignitaries and Western companies to negotiate with each other, so security was ‘at least that’ stable.
But other than that, it was nothing more than a gutter infested with barbarians.
“Peter. Did the negotiations go well?”
Detectives hiding in the shadows of the alley slowly crawl out. They were the detectives of the Pinkerton Detective Agency who came through Tokyo.
In order not to distinguish them from the Chinese, they were strictly selected and assigned to them from the Japanese military. They were all dressed in Qing Dynasty attire.
These are the personnel who rushed through Hong Kong when they sent SOS to the Detroit director.
“Yes, thanks to all of you, I am able to live. Since I was almost slaughtered alive by a bandit a few months ago, the people of the Qing Empire should be able to trust me.”
Peter also hired locals at first.
They were escorted by people called flags and moved between castles and castles.
‘It was good at first.’
I was lucky.
The escorts who escorted him first were very kind and trustworthy. The mark itself was a bit large, and they were well-known in the local business district.
But in the middle, I had to change the flag, and that was the cause of everything.
“I heard you’ve been through a lot.”
“Uh huh, don’t talk. If you hadn’t run away from the masterminds, you’d be done with their lunch by now.”
“Haha, that’s fun.”
The detectives laughed, but Peter couldn’t.
Peter was sullen.
“I’m not kidding. Those humans were boiling people in pots and eating them.”
Peter’s fingertips trembled.
It was only a few days after they escaped that he heard that a strange group called the Boxers had originated in Shandong Province. I later found out that the red flag the cannibals were holding was the flag of the Boxers.
At that, the detectives trembled.
“Eh, ah. This is not the primitive age, and we can’t even boil people. Westerners call us an uncivilized country, but they are people who live by their own principles of Confucianism.”
It’s different when you’re starving.
The Japanese detectives waved their hands.
‘Isn’t your Confucian scriptures telling you to eat people?’
Peter’s disbelief deepened slightly.
“But how did you get released?”
“They asked. Are you a Christian? So I said. No.”
Do Jews believe in Christianity?
I said no.
“So you were released?”
“No. She’s a sheep, but she’s not a Christian, so she said she’d do Soma instead of Popin.”
“Popin? Soma? What is it?”
Peter sighed.
How did I, a financier and a civilized man, roll into the den of these savages?
“Popin is boiled and soma is grilled like meat.”
“…!!!”
The detectives were astonished. A chilling air flowed between them.
“……”
“That same day, three people were boiled or grilled in front of me and eaten by them.”
Peter’s countenance darkened.
I remember the nightmare of that day. He was tied up alive in a wooden barrel, with a cloth in his mouth, struggling and persevering.
By the way.
“It was a Christian from a Chinese family. My father put it in a pot without looking at it and boiled it and ate it.”
“In front of your wife and children… you mean?”
“No. They wouldn’t have seen it, because the savages took turns doing the unspeakable things for hours.”
The detectives’ faces turned pale.
“Then both were roasted with soma. Have you ever seen a child roasted alive and eaten? I immediately thought of Dante’s new song.”
“……”
“But they cut off the body’s neck with a knife and put it in a bamboo spear. They say there’s a bounty on it.”
“Wow…”

One of the detectives was upset.
Peter patted him on the back with a familiar face.
puck. puck.
“Go up more. More. If you do it wrong, you’ll get stuck in your throat.”
“Wow, uh…”
Peter distrusts the sign.
They sold themselves to the den of bandits and ran away. An organization called the Boxers placed a bounty on its members and put in an indiscriminate contract to kill. The representatives were also disguised as Boxers.
So, he was almost embarrassed by himself.
“But how did you survive?”
“I instantly unleashed my powers, released my guns, and ran like crazy without screaming. Fortunately, there was a German garrison in Shandong Province. I was rescued by them.”

Of course, Shaanxi. Ahn Hwi-seong. Guangdong is the main province.
However, the facts of Shaanxi Province, the images of Anhui Province, and Guangdong Sangbang of Guangdong Province, their branches were spreading like the roots of a giant tree within the Qing Dynasty.
In particular, Tianjin, close to Shandong Province, where trade is active, and Qingdao, Shandong Province, had huge branches, so they had no choice but to exchange with them.
“The German army is also very busy.”
“Is it that serious?”
“It’s not that the Detroit director assigned you for nothing. You can’t survive unless you’re an escort from the military. There are already rumors that thousands of Western and Chinese Christians have been massacred.”
Peter touched his forehead.
It was scary to have a toothache, but the goal was right in front of me. I bit the peso currency swap contracts and signed tens of thousands of contracts using all sorts of means, but if I gave up here, all my efforts seemed to be in vain.
I can’t even remember whether it’s been a year or half since I’ve been here.
‘They are not people.’
Already in Peter’s head, the formula of ‘Qing dynasty = cannibal’ was firmly established. Even the merchants who approached him favorably began to look like cannibals.
‘Treatment of people is excessive.’
Peter thought.
Cooperation with the military is essential for foreigners to start a financial business here.
Lead bullets were needed in Inse’s Hell.
They are not people.
“Shall we go?”
“for a moment.”
ur ur.
The detectives, whose expressions suddenly changed, surrounded Peter in layers. Peter was bewildered by the sudden event, but soon understood the reason.
Suddenly, soldiers in Qing dynasty uniforms surrounded him.
“Don’t come out of our backs.”
shudder.
The detectives held the guns in their arms with a firm expression.
Peter’s face turned pale.
‘Isn’t it supposed to be kidnapped and turned into a snack for them?’
chuckle.
All of Qing’s new army were armed with Mouser rifles.
“Are you Mr. Peter?”
Someone who looked like a commander came forward and asked.
Surprisingly, the mask is fine. They were more serious and formal than expected, so Peter was relieved. It was like the people in the coffin. Hopefully, the official won’t be cannibal.
He ran through the detectives.
“Yes, I’m Peter. What’s going on?”
chuck.
The Qing soldiers politely took the spear.
“Governor Yanggwang, this great man wants to see you.”

“Did the peso volume arrive?”
HSBC Bank.
The Hong Kong and Shanghai headquarters have been busy lately. As soon as the board of directors was convened and the directors were seated, the main topic began.
The cashier stood up and announced.
“The British Royal Navy could not mobilize it. Unlike the US Navy, the Royal Navy has a strong sense of pride, so I was shocked to find out that it uses warships for cash transportation.”
“At times like this, I envy Americans who risk their lives for money.”
“Yes, but I thought it would be enough to arm the merchant ships. The quality of Krupp steel recently extracted from the United States is good, so the armored merchant ships will be at least safe from privateers.”
The Qing Dynasty has four naval forces.
However, the Northyang Fleet, said to be the most powerful among them, proved its powerlessness by being annihilated in the Sino-Japanese War. As soon as they found out that it was a hollow Gangjeong, the pirates were battling.
Areas opened as trade ports, such as Guangdong Province, were particularly popular.
“I purchased the Kruppgang and main guns through the Portsmouth Company in Detroit. After installing the various options, the armored cruiser became futile.”
“It’s suitable for cash transport.”
“Yes.”
A pirate is a pirate.
It was clear that if the main gun was shredded by an armored cruiser, it would be torn to shreds.
“What is the supply and demand for pesos?”
“The Spanish bankers, because of the Catalan civil war, they are pulling out pesos from the mint like a newspaper press. You can buy a piece of bread, but even with a cart full of currency, you can’t buy it.”
“The supply is also stable.”
“There’s a way we’d rather take over a Spanish bank and run a mint.”
The Bank of Spain is both a central bank and a private bank.
In addition, the Spanish government was running out of capital now that Spain was in the midst of civil war. It was not impossible to acquire a bank of Spain and obtain a mint if only enough capital could be provided.
“Go ahead. No, let’s get the mint and return it to Hong Kong.”
“Yes!”
🥳
HSBC’s president, Roderick, quickly processed the reports. Sign and sign again. Directors were moving quickly and quickly, with reports from all over the place.
Reading the important report among them, Roderick’s eyes lit up.
“They say that the China Settlement Bank can supply an unlimited number of currency swap contracts by paying only 30% of the commission. They say there are only tens of thousands of contracts?”
tens of thousands.
Directors were thrilled by the overwhelming amount. There are tens of thousands of contracts to buy silver ingots by selling pieces of paper.
No, right now, Japan is sinking in real time right next to you, so how can you make a paper contract?
The China Settlement Bank was almost doing the magic of finance.
‘Doesn’t the Qing financiers know that they’re in a state of disrepair?’
ah please
But that’s not important. For the bank, only the fact that there were actually tens of thousands of contracts mattered. There were a lot of emulsions, but I think I could get some unlimited ones.
“It is said that large banks such as Deutsche Bank, Societe General, Whittinger, Geselshaft, etc. are sucking contracts like hyenas. Should I watch them sweep away all our money like this!!!”
bang!
As Bank President Roderick’s breathing became heavy, the directors tensed. Roderick roared.
“Connect to the China Settlement Bank and wipe out the contracts as soon as they are available! Whether you are hiring mercenaries who put pirates in the army or hire mercenaries, you mean to rob Pyoho (banks) and battlefields (financial companies) at will!”
“Yes!!!”
“Move now!”
ur ur.
The directors gathered their papers and started running out with the secretaries mercilessly.
“If it’s converted, it’s a cruiser fleet?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Times have improved Thanks to the modifications, the fleet of armed merchant ships became almost like a cruiser fleet.
Bank president Roderick burned a cigar.
after.
“If it’s a cruiser fleet, I’m relieved. With this, I’ll be able to take care of the minimum security.”
Compared to their home country’s dreadnoughts, they were insignificant, but the annihilated Beiyang Fleet, the Namyang Fleet full of scumbags, and the Fujian Fleet were more than destroyed.
The problem was the barbarians called the Boxers.
“Secretary, are there any recent sightings or news of the Boxers?”
“Yanggwang region, including Guangdong Province, is still safe. They say that the sphere of influence is not coming down further from the Hogwang region and the Yanggang region.”
“Is Yang Guang’s security great?”
“I wonder if Yang Gwang’s governor is that person…. the Boxers won’t be able to use their power either.”
Governor of Yangguang, including Guangdong Province.
Roderick nodded heavily. While running the financial business in the Qing Empire, he was a tycoon whose name could not be known.
“Lee Hongjang…”

“Master, we have received a request for a loan from HSBC and Deutsche Bank.”
Tokyo.
Japan Settlement Bank.
The meeting room of Mitsui Bank’s Tokyo headquarters was also busy. With the declaration of the third low boom, Japan’s industrialization began sequentially.
Along with the five-year economic development plan, each department was generously pouring out financing, loans, and support for their respective business units.
“Wait a minute.”
I quickly organized the papers.
As railroaders are the loudest voices, we have to deal with these first. I hired new railroad officials at Mitsui Bank.
Local railroads are the laws the locals know best.
“Mr. Yamada, first of all, Nippon Railroad, Hanhak Railroad, and Kansai Railroad are going to be transferred to Pennsylvania Railroad. We have to take over the bonds, and our Japan Settlement Bank has to guarantee it. Please proceed with the negotiations. We will move you to the position of director.”
“Yes! Just leave it to me!”
Yamada pretended to salute and ran away quickly.
In the Japanese Army, I hired him as the chief of the transport-related department who knew railways well. Currently, most of the railroad officers are personnel of the Army Transportation Bureau.
“Uh, James. Did you say a request for funds?”
“Two in total. They come from HSBC and Deutsche Bank.”
“After all, the establishment of a bank in the Qing dynasty makes it possible to understand the financial flows in East Asia well.”
The fact that the loan was made directly to the Japan Settlement Bank means that we received information that our Japan Settlement Bank can process faster than the support from the home country.
Even banks that did not even know the existence of the Japan Settlement Bank were able to step forward as leaders at many points in time.
No other bank, at least in East Asia, was as cash-rich as the Japan Settlement Bank.
“I asked for the bait. I’m also very obsessed with it.”
In addition, he was now receiving a fee and distributing the peso currency swap contract within the Qing Dynasty through the China Settlement Bank and Peter. The Bank of China Settlement was a privately held company, a Swiss bank backed by Lehman Brothers, Detroit Investment Bank, and Jewish capital.
Starting with Peter, he won tens of thousands of contracts in one year.
Currently, there are a flood of requests to take over the contract with the China Settlement Bank at a fee of 30%.
“Let them borrow as much money as they want with Lloyd’s insurance. The amount will be quite a bit. There is also a branch of Lloyd’s Insurance in Hong Kong. If not, tell them to go to the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce.”
“Yes, I will execute it right away.”
“for a moment.”
I caught James about to leave. Thinking back on it, I might have to reconsider the loan to Deutsche Bank.
I remember that it was definitely Shandong Province that the Boxers called…
“German banks, aren’t their headquarters in Shandong Province now?”

Oh
this is not a bit
If I eat China alone, I get sick, so I need a German bank now. But no matter how much a German bank was needed, a higher guarantee was needed to get a loan in such a risky area.
“If you do, get a guarantee from the German government, yes.”
I was determined to roll a little more.
And the more you do, the harder your opponent will bite the bait.
The more on my side, the better.
