＜ A burning fire. (2) >
Governor-General of Guangzhou.
“I’m trying to appoint you as a financial advisor to the Yanggwang Government-General.”
Governor-General’s Special Room.
An old man of great appearance was looking down at Peter with an overflowing spirit. It was not wrong to say that it was large enough to be similar to the German Bismarck.
He was in front of a giant called the Bismarck of Asia.
Peter was tense.
“Are you financial advisor?”
“Your name has come and gone from the mouths of giants in Guangdong and Upper East. There is a merchant from the West named Peter. He has a deep knowledge of finance and the more he listens, the more he falls in love with it.”

Obviously, the giants of the Guangdong Upper East liked themselves.
Each time we have a drinking party, we pile up gift bags such as Geumwa (Golden Toad). Most of all, he gave me some investment advice.
Lee Hong-jang paid attention to the good news of the Guangdong Sangbang, and noticed that Peter had an excellent eye.
“Let me be honest. The reason I need financial advice is because of Japan.”
“Are you from Japan?”
“Yeah, the cargo volume in Guangzhou has increased by 1.5 times recently. Since Japan declared the third low boom, the volume of cargo has continued to increase explosively. The situation is that large trading companies in the West are constantly flocking to Guangzhou. I’m going to Japan via Guangzhou.”
“Exports are going well.”
“Yeah, they’re sucking up raw materials almost like a bottomless pit. My intuition is resounding strongly that Japan’s full-fledged industrialization is about to begin.
“of course.”
uh….
I didn’t know at all.
He hadn’t come to Guangdong in the first place, and he had been wandering inland until a month ago, how could he have known? But Peter struggled to control his expression and nodded eagerly.
business. business.
If you don’t know what it is, finance is a market that competes with words and results.
“But in Guangzhou, there is HSBC in Hong Kong? How about getting advice from them?”
“Huh, huh? Are you telling the white people and people of color to get advice now?”
Hongjang Lee’s face contorted like a devil.
Because of the white people’s racism, dignitaries despise and dislike them. The mindset that you have a lot of money, so you have no choice but to use it. In the first place, the Qing Empire was never a friendly empire for sheep.
Soon Lee Hong-jang relaxed his expression.
“But you can speak Chinese vaguely, and you’ve got a Cantonese dialect. Doesn’t that mean that you respect the Qing Empire that much? Diplomacy is a good thing.”
“……thank you.”
Peter trembled at Lee Hong-jang’s praise.
I was almost beaten up by bandits and torn to death by the boxers, but as I wandered around, the final destination was praised by a high-ranking magnate of the Qing Empire.
The Qing Empire still looked like a cannibal, but he was a business man.
dollar best.
‘Seize this opportunity.’
Eyes twinkled.
Peter changed his posture and adjusted his clothes neatly.
“What can I ask you for?”
“First of all, I would like to hear some interpretations of the Japan Settlement Bank. I want to learn about the industrialization of Japan, but if you do not have any knowledge of finance, you will not understand anything. “
Peter understood his lamentation.
Even the Wall Street deceased himself wouldn’t have understood if he hadn’t listened to the detailed explanation of the Detroit director.
President Lehman seemed to get it right, but he was the celestial monster.
“The Detroit Morgan is such a monster, foreign news articles, including The Times, are talking dry mouths, but I can’t understand it at all.”
“Are you saying that you don’t understand the impact of the concept rather than the basic concept?”
“Huh. Exactly, huh. Guangdong Sangbang has a reason to praise it with dry mouth. That’s right, I wouldn’t understand the impact of that rather than the basic concept.”
Hongjang Lee nodded his head as if he was brave.
Peter smiled.
I felt a little sympathetic that the Governor-General of Guangzhou also had similar sorrows to mine. But he had a pile of knowledge that the Detroit director had given him.
‘If you want to monitor the situation in Guangdong Province and the situation in the Qing Dynasty as a whole, it is most certainly possible to be in the Governor-General of Guangzhou. It’s easy to report to the Detroit Director, and it’s not bad.’
Tianjin, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
They are all major trading cities of the Qing Empire. In particular, Guangzhou grew huge until the Opium War, when thirteen monopolists monopolized the Daechung trade. As such, Guangzhou was located in a good location to get information.
‘Besides, Hong Kong is just around the corner.’
It’s the governor-general of that place.
Even Hongjang Lee is the subject of advice.
For the time being, it was profitable to accept it, as the financial material did not seem to be exposed.
chuck-
took the supremacy
“I will tell you every detail with all my heart. Daein!”
I got the best quack.
“What? Peter unregistered director appointed as financial advisor to Hong-Jang Lee?”
Tokyo.
Japan Central Bank Committee.
I was stunned by the news I had heard from Hong Kong via Guangzhou. Lehman Brothers chairman Lehman said he would send a director with some sales power, but this was really great.
James stuck out his tongue.
“Yes, it is said that Hongjang Lee of the Governor-General of Guangzhou was very curious about the recent situation in Japan and about you.”
“Is Hongjang Lee me?”
“You’ve become famous.”
I’m also a little new to feeling.
To hear the interest of Lee Hong-jang, who had only read in modern and contemporary history books. The modern and modern history of the Qing Dynasty revolves around these people. He was a giant in the diplomatic world of the Qing Empire, who was in charge of diplomatic negotiations on major events such as the Sino-Japanese War, the Byunbeopjaegang Movement, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
‘The 19th century is all about diplomacy and war.’
To add a bit of exaggeration, Hongjang Lee was the whole of the Qing Empire at that time.
“Well, you might be curious when you hear the news that the neighboring country, Japan, has been slaughtered by one bank.”
“I’m not curious. Since he resides at Mitsui Bank’s Tokyo head office, very few people know his face. He sometimes gives presentations in the square, but the media doesn’t show his face because of his sanctions.”
“James, personal information is a weapon. You can’t show it that easily.”
“Did you know that there are dozens of foreign media hiding behind the main gate to cover the master?”
Anyway, it was good to get Li Hongjang’s eyes and ears. Few fields are as good as finance to manipulate and deceive people. A slight twist in the boom can lead to a panic, and a slight twist in the panic can lead to a boom in finance.

Our job this time is to squeeze the panic by twisting the boom a bit.
‘What will happen if we push the weapons of the Armed Forces along with funds into the Qing Empire, which will see the dripping effect of the third low boom? What if the lobby of large banks is combined?’
Most of the money that is going to flow cannot be said to be used only for power generation.
If that had been the case, modern Africa would not have been as bad as it had been, and the pigs in the north would not have been as good.
Money has no color.
And I take a chance in it.
“It’s amazing what Peter notices, so we won’t leak information about the China Settlement Bank.”
Initially, the China Settlement Bank’s undisclosed shareholder list was something only a few of James and Lehman Brothers knew. Even Samuel Sachs knew only vaguely.
butt got itchy
– Seal.
“…you, Detroit.”
Sax, who was looking at my shaking new model, quietly approached me. His shriveled face, as if he saw something he couldn’t see, turned away from me.
But then he smiled and slapped me on the shoulder.
“Why are you sitting so fussy? The outline is set and important bills seem to have been passed. If you want to go, go to Hong Kong.”
“thank you.”
got a bum
Sax’s eyebrows twitched.
“…you don’t have a lot of refusal?!”
“The situation in the Qing Empire will quickly change. If you just give orders from Tokyo, you will often miss the golden hour. And don’t worry. Hong Kong is British territory. It’s safer.”
I thought it would be better to take Guangdong as the head quarter. There is also Hong Kong, so it could be linked with HSBC.
Already in my head, there was no post-processing for Sax to do. In the meantime, I’ve been doing a charisma show by myself, but I have to do this much.
“Director Sax. I wrote down the manual, so you can do it as it is. Of course, if you want to change it, you are free to change it.”
“Oh, no. Wait.”
“Then thank you in the future!”
“Hey! Hey! Hey!”
bang.
But the door closed without refusal, and Sax’s hand swung through the air. Without hesitation, he really went away.
“her.”
Sax sat down on the chair and brushed his flat hair. It’s all about Detroit. He slowly turned his head and looked down at the interior of the large office.
– Mr. Sax!
– Sir! It’s a paperwork!
– Following the Pennsylvania Railroad, it is a request for arbitration from railroad companies! Approval sign!

Oh
shit.
‘Sax, you bastard. The mouth is square. The mouth is square.’
Samuel Sachs.
He entered the paper hell.
Bump.
“Oh, I’ll take James too.”
“hey!”
That bastard is real.

British Hong Kong
Lloyd Insurance.
“Wait a minute. It’s being dealt with. Yes. Yes. HSBC Bank is Lloyd’s biggest customer. We will treat you as a VIP. But, you know?
Robert.
Robert, who worked in the North American branch of the British Empire, was promoted to Hong Kong repeatedly due to the Strait of Gibraltar case with the Detroit director.
Recently, Gibraltar has been working hard by the British government, so it has been a long time since the number of cases went to Downing 10th Street.
“The insurance premiums that have been benefited are this much. It is even more difficult if it is transported by land rather than by resolution. No, has the confidence of the representative countries declined sharply recently? In a situation where it is unknown whether it is a bandit or a mark country, an increase in insurance premium is inevitable!”
Robert swallowed his anger.
There are two reasons for being assigned to British Hong Kong. Economic development due to Japan’s rapid industrialization declaration along with the recent unprecedented situation of the Qing Empire.
They were sent to take care of these two.
‘I miss the days of negotiating with the Detroit director. That person will give you what he wants. If you put it on the scale and hand it over to me, all you have to do is sign it.’
The opponent is a giant.
HSBC Bank was Lloyd’s largest customer in East Asia, so it should be treated properly.
But isn’t he cutting it like a robber?
Robert’s expression darkened.
“If you continue to force it like that, it will be cut off. Recently, Deutsche Bank also receives frequent calls, so we are not disappointed either. Please contact us later.”
click.
I put the handset down just before it got noisy.
“Mr., I’m going to change it to Deutsche Bank.”
After all, HSBC Bank will also be linked with other syndicates. Since there are a lot of transactions, it is distributed here and there.
Even inside Lloyd’s Insurance in British Hong Kong, there were brokers and underwriters (insurance practitioners).
“Anyway, the truth of the bankrupt railroad industry and the big banks are no different. You bastards.”
profit.
I got a Coke to calm my anger.
An American beverage from a cola factory recently established at a naval base in British Hong Kong. Once I drank it, I couldn’t quit like a drug because the carbonic acid would blow away my stress.
Cola Hani also reminded me of the Detroit director.
“…What is the Detroit Director doing now?”
he is a monster
Suwan of the Japan Settlement Bank continued to analyze through foreign media. Among financiers, the most technologically advanced are the majors and insurance companies.
In particular, insurance agents are demonically superior in finance, or even vicious.
[Analysis of Japan’s Fall Process and Japanese Settlement Bank’s Technique.]
[3 Low boom and international situation.]
chin.
Robert set the thick file folder down on the desk.
Insurers are also sensitive to the international situation.
He always listened to the international situation and always checked and analyzed big issues.
‘The Japan Settlement Bank is not just swallowing up the current Japan. It even swallowed up the future Japan. They said they signed a 25% stake, but that must be the result of calculating the percentage of stake that will eventually be diluted through a capital increase.’
When looking at his underwriter (insurance practice) career, the Detroit director’s resourcefulness was too crazy to be crazy.
“The design of the third boom must be the trick of a monster.”
The situation of international oil and coal prices, the collapse of the gold standard in Japan, and cases of reverse use of the maritime blockade in this way are unheard of. The third boom was literally a one-man show in Detroit.
Anyway, it was crazy.
“The Qing Empire is currently in a state of war. Maybe the Detroit director is also aiming for a war special.”
‘Wait, you’re going to have an affair with the Detroit director?’
The insurer’s sense of humor stood up.
Robert quickly began tapping the calculations in his head. Robert’s eyes twinkled every time the abacus moved.
“The raw materials of the Qing Empire are indispensable for Japan’s industrialization. There are also Southeast Asian countries, but the Qing Empire’s supply is overwhelming. Wasn’t the supply from French Indochina constantly coming into Guangzhou?”
Drooling-
Robert got out of his chair and ran to the bookshelf and read the reports with the figures. Raw materials from French Indochina were also flowing to the Japanese archipelago through Guangzhou as expected.
Familiar names appeared frequently.
“Transportation by Qunad Shipping. Cellulose, a raw material for gunpowder, is also being absorbed through Taiwan? Surely, this is aimed at war specialties.”
boxer movement.
The Detroit director was convinced that this boxer movement would escalate into war. Then as an insurer, you cannot stand still.
War is a difficult market for insurers, but a successful bet of the century could soar like the Rothschilds who had won a lot of money from Napoleon’s failure.
“It smells. It smells like money.”
Gold always falls in the footsteps of the Detroit director. The gold was so sweet that it had magical powers that could not be cut without holding it.
I’ve never seen such a person in my entire life.
“A hero on Wall Street. A hero in Japan. If you look at the financiers, there are no heroes. Only when they meet as allies.”
Then how do you make money?
In the first place, Lloyd’s Insurance Syndicate is not just an insurance business. Clearly, the syndicate did insurance business through Lloyd’s Insurance, but each member of the syndicate was a banker and a capitalist.
In other words, just as the Barclays bank swept a lot of money into Gibraltar, he was promoted repeatedly for that matter.
‘How do insurance companies make money?
The more you know the other party’s reality, the higher the premium calculation will be, and the insurer can bet on the other side with the accumulated insurance money.
If you don’t mind, you can’t sign a contract.
But the Detroit director was a blank check.
‘Let’s get the Detroit director.’
He had to call himself the amputee of Detroit. To do that, the Detroit director had to find a convincing bait. Fortunately, British corporations were scattered throughout British Hong Kong.
“Detroit. He is my milestone.”
A spark flashed in Robert’s eyes.
what does he want You should figure it out from there.

“James. Come to think of it, did you have Lloyd’s Insurance in Hong Kong?”
taiwan.
A commercial vessel of Qunad Shipping stopped for a short stop while sailing through British Hong Kong. James and I were having coffee in a cafe near the harbour.
ugh
write coffee Did you smoke in the water?
“Yes, Master. Lloyd’s Insurance in British Hong Kong is quite large. Because the Qing Empire is so large, there are not one or two jobs there.”
“Have you ever worked in Hong Kong?”
“I’ve done it a lot in Hong Kong. One of the routes for high-speed promotion in the first place is Hong Kong. Lloyd’s Insurance is very popular.”
In fact, Lloyd’s Insurance was the overwhelming force in the insurance industry. The trust they had built up so far was skyrocketing.
“Let me hear it. Lloyd’s Insurance.”
“I’m fine. Do you have a reason?”
“The Boxer Rebellion is starting in earnest. Where will the big banks run like deukdal?”
“Insurer!”
“Yeah. That’s it.”
It could be a control tower.
To do that, you have to get a good line in Lloyd’s Insurance, but it would be nice to have a good person.
“More than that, Master.”
“Well?”
James looked at me with a serious expression on his face.
“Can I know your goal in the Qing Empire?”
“My goal?”
“I think I need to have a clear goal to properly assist me. I’m curious about your vision.”
be my goal
In the Qing Empire, there was always one goal.
“split.”
“Yes?”
“Because I like mainland China so much. I wish there were several.”
What are some of my favorite periods in Chinese history?

One is the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
The second is the Age of Five Sixteen Kingdoms.
The third was the era of warlords in the Republic of China.
