    Sun Yuanqi was not so murderous: "I still hope they can build the Sichuan-Hankou Railway. Even if they have limited financial resources, building the section from Chengdu to Chongqing first will be of great benefit to the people of Bashu. As long as they build the road honestly, I will  We can come forward to help solve the problem, and if necessary, we can even ask Huaxi Bank to provide them with financing loans.¡±

    Yang Du shook his head: "Baixi, you think too highly of them! These gentry are all cunning and cunning. If the provincial government forcibly allocates expenses to the whole province through land taxation, they would be willing to put some effort into it and become a big player in the company."  Shareholders. If they are asked to fully invest in the construction of the railway, they will not agree even if they are beaten to death. In my opinion, today the news of waiving various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes comes out, tomorrow they will sell off the Sichuan-Hankou Railway stocks, or in a few days, those  The stock will be reduced to a piece of waste paper!"

    Sun Yuanqi frowned slightly: "It is said that the Sichuan section of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway started construction in the winter of the first year of Xuantong, and it has been almost two years now. If the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company goes bankrupt, wouldn't all the previous hard work be in vain?"

    Upon seeing this, Zhang Shizhao suggested: "Can we wait until the stock drops to a certain price, and Hua Xi Bank will come forward to purchase it? This can not only prevent the gentry in central Sichuan from going bankrupt and causing trouble, but also prevent others from getting involved in the Sichuan-Hankou Railway. And Jingshi University is not  Has the railway transportation profession been established as early as the 31st year of Guangxu (1905)? It requires money and people, and with the support of the provincial government, this railway can definitely be built as soon as possible."

    "No!" Yang Du rejected Zhang Shizhao's suggestion. "Although the purpose of acquiring stocks is to rescue the gentry and build railways, Huaxi Bank is ostensibly controlled by Americans and has a close relationship with Baixi, so it can easily cause confusion.  It¡¯s true. If someone uses this to make a big fuss and accuses us of colluding with foreigners to sell our rights of way, there will be no defense. If we don¡¯t handle it well, it will be another huge turmoil!¡±

    Sun Yuanqi asked: "In your opinion, how should we deal with this matter?"

    Yang Du opened the folding fan and shook it a few times: "If Baixi wants to continue the construction of the Sichuan-Hankou Railway, it is not difficult! After the gentry in central Sichuan heard about the exemption of various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, they would come to petition in a few days to ask the provincial government to support the construction.  Regarding the railway, Baixi can then list three options for them to choose from: The first is that the railway will continue to be run commercially and the government will not interfere. If there is a shortage of funds, the provincial government can borrow money from Huaxi Bank for financing. The second is,  The railway should be changed to be jointly run by the government and gentry, and the shares should be controlled according to the proportion of investment. Third, the railway should be changed to be run by the government. The assets of the previous company were converted and purchased by the provincial government. In this way, we can take the initiative without disturbing the public opinion.  "

    Sun Yuanqi nodded, and then asked: "Xizi, which path do you think they will choose?"

    Yang Du said firmly: "It must be the second one!"

    "Oh? I'd like to hear some advice!"

    Yang Du explained: "The Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company already has a deficit of three million taels in its account. Without government support, it will soon be on the verge of collapse. If the railway continues to operate commercially, it means that all three million taels of bad debts will be eliminated.  They paid out of their own pockets, and also had to borrow property or road rights as collateral and borrow three to five million taels from banks to ensure that the railway could continue to be built. Even if the gentry in central Sichuan were as wealthy as the country, they could not withstand such a hassle.  They are afraid that before the railway is repaired, all the stocks in their hands will be sold to the banks! So they will not choose the first path.

    "Everyone knows that the Sichuan-Hankou Railway is a big fat piece of meat. Since the gentry in Sichuan has bitten it into their mouths, they will never spit it out again. So they will not choose the third way. After weighing it, they naturally  They will choose the second path, which is both profitable and more secure. But at that time, they will inevitably raise the question of who will fill the shortfall of three million taels, because this is directly related to the proportion of government and gentry holdings, and it is indispensable.  A bit of talk.¡±

    As Sun Yuanqi's financial advisor, Zhang Shizhao immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said: "The Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company's own internal management is in disarray. The funds raised were not used to start construction. Instead, the company's senior management diverted it to speculate on rubber stocks in Shanghai, resulting in nearly half of the loss. Could it be that  We still need to make up for these loopholes? It¡¯s really ridiculous!¡±

    Yang Du spread his hands: "Look, that's it! We don't want to be taken advantage of, and the shareholders of Sichuan and Han Company don't want to suffer losses. Wouldn't it cost a lot of words to argue with each other? Fortunately, we have exempted Sichuan for a year.  With half a penny of food, we also recruited students from the Revolutionary Party and Brother Pao, so they can¡¯t cause trouble even if they want to, otherwise it will be a big trouble again.¡±

    Sun Yuanqi said: "If the government and gentry are to jointly run it, we can make up for part of this shortfall. However, we have the final say on how to repair the railway and how to spend the money in the future. In the future, the Sichuan-Hankou Railway Company can no longer be left to this group of greedy and incompetent people."  Gentlemen are in control!¡±

    Yang Du smiled and said: "In a year's time, we will have gathered the strength of Sichuan's military and people."Profitable products, such as mortars, 1911-style industrial rifles, helmets, camouflage uniforms, and special drugs such as penicillin and sulfa, can earn excess profits;

    Third, he enjoys the supreme power of making a single decision in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, and can use a large number of manpower without worrying about impeachment and obstruction by others;

    Fourth, even if the land in his hands cannot meet his production needs, he can still invest in building factories in the United States, Canada and other places and still make money!

    Thinking of this, Sun Yuanqi became excited, and even couldn't wait to talk to Lilith about his great plan.  (To be continued.
