Chapter 51 Layout by Advantage (Seeking Collection)
Under the gaze of the handsome generals, Zheng Yi saw his tearful sister Zheng Xuan at the table next to him, his cheap brother-in-law Feng Jingzhai who was smiling with his chin upturned and his chin was smiling, and his eldest brother Zheng Heng with a straight face, he secretly took a deep breath, turned his head, and saluted Principal Jiang again: "Report to the principal, Zheng Yi of the quartermaster department has been ordered to arrive, please give the principal a lecture!" ”
Principal Jiang didn't expect Zheng Yi to react so quickly, and put on a businesslike attitude, and nodded with a smile after being slightly surprised: "This is a family banquet, no need to be restrained, sit down." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zheng Yi looked at the chair that Principal Jiang motioned for him to sit down, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Principal, Uncle Zhou Shi, Uncle Yu Shi, I want to talk to my sister at the table next to me, you look ......"
Zhou Junyan laughed and smiled at Principal Jiang and Zheng Lanting: "It seems that young people don't like to stay with us old guys, let him go." ”
Principal Jiang looked at Zheng Lanting with a smile, and saw that Zheng Lanting was still quietly wiping away tears, so he waved his hand to Zheng Yi, Zheng Yi saluted and turned around and walked to the tearful eldest sister, and Wu Zhonghan, who was ignorant behind him, wanted to follow, and was immediately pulled to the table of a group of adjutants by Adjutant Xu.
Wang Boling looked at it interestingly, and asked Yu Feipeng happily: "What?" It's been more than two years, and their father and son haven't made peace yet? ”
Yu Feipeng was also happy: "It's okay, I guess it's going to be soon, didn't you see Zheng Yi's strong boy go to his sister?" ”
Wang Boling smiled again, looked at President Jiang who was holding a wine glass under Gan Naiguang's reminder, and immediately stood up to raise a glass with everyone to toast Zheng Lanting, a celebrity in Hubei Province and commercial counselor of the British Embassy in Wuhan.
Zheng Yi came to the wine table accompanied by several generals and colonels of the General Headquarters, nodded to his familiar colleagues, took the wine glass handed by Feng Jingzhai, stood up straight, listened to President Jiang's toast with everyone, took a sip, sat down next to his sister Zheng Xuan, and smiled at Feng Jingzhai through Zheng Xuan:
"Mr. Feng's face is red and his spirits are uplifted, he is probably rich, right?"
"Thanks to the second brother's blessing, the business of Yinghua Foreign Bank, which I have a stake, is booming day by day, haha! Oh yes, Mr. White has a letter for me to bring to you, I'll give it to you when the banquet is over, drink first, haha! ”
The cooperation between the famous Feng family in Huhai and the shareholder of Swire Pacific, White, was facilitated by Zheng Yi, through White, he learned a lot about Zheng Yi, and he no longer dared to underestimate this cheap brother-in-law.
Zheng Xuan, whose eyes were flushed, pinched Zheng Yi's arm fiercely: "You conscienceless guy, you dare not reply to me, hide everything from me, I will strangle you!" ”
Zheng Yi's mouth was crooked in pain, he pushed Zheng Xuan's hand away, and complained: "It's a shame that you can say it, I write you a letter every month, and send you expensive French red wine three times, but you don't have any return gift...... Good! Don't pinch it, I won't say it, okay? It's all my fault, alas...... When I meet someone like you, I really have no place to be reasonable. ”
Everyone laughed funny, and Zheng Heng, who had been keeping a straight face, couldn't help but smile.
Zheng Xuan smiled sweetly, saw Zheng Yi pick up the wine bottle, diligently refill the wine for himself, and then listened to Zheng Yi ask when he arrived, and his heart suddenly swelled with warmth:
"I arrived in Hong Kong in the middle of the night last night, and as soon as the morning dawned, I rushed over with my father on the transportation boat of the Governor's Palace...... You're a little taller and stronger than you were two years ago. ”
Zheng Yi smiled, toasted respectfully to several colleagues who accompanied him, drank three glasses in a row before sitting down humbly, turned to Feng Jingzhai, and asked in a low voice: "I heard that our Principal Jiang has a good relationship with your old man, I guess you are not here to play this time, right?" ”
Feng Jingzhai was taken aback, thought about it and smiled: "I'm an idler, I like to wander around when I have nothing to do, this time I mainly accompany your eldest brother, your eldest sister and your old man to Hong Kong, visit several major shareholders of Swire Pacific's headquarters, and bring a letter for my father by the way." ”
"Your revolutionary army is terrible now, the momentum is like a rainbow, maybe one day it will hit Huhai, how can you do it if you don't say hello in advance, haha!"
Zheng Yi smiled again: "With your current identity Feng Dashao, every step is the attention of the public, and your old Feng family is a well-respected dignitary in the Ten Mile Foreign Bank, and has a deep friendship with several consortia in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for decades, working hand in hand, please take care of it in the future!" ”
Feng Jingzhai sighed and patted the back of Zheng Xuan's hand twice: "I decided to admit my mistake to Mrs. now, I was blind, and I didn't know that the second child of your family was a good person...... I'm sorry, but I'll listen to whatever you say from now on. ”
Everyone laughed again, Zheng Xuan was very happy, and generously invited everyone to drink and eat, and then served Zheng Yi with vegetables.
Zheng Yi had already stood up with his wine glass and toasted to his eldest brother Zheng Heng, who had a bad relationship since he was a child.
Zheng Heng was stunned, picked up the wine glass in the low encouragement of his brother-in-law Feng Jingzhai, and clinked glasses with Zheng Yi in a mood, and then drank it all, and immediately won the happy laughter of Feng Jingzhai and his wife.
The atmosphere of the banquet was warm and pleasant, Zheng Yi, who had drunk half of his stomach, had not eaten enough, and President Jiang's table had ended.
Zhou Junyan beckoned to Zheng Yi, called over and whispered a whisper, and then accompanied Principal Jiang and Zheng Lanting, who were about to discuss the matter, to leave first, Zheng Heng, who was Zheng Lanting's heir and assistant, walked quickly to his father's side, and the rest of the generals also hurriedly stood up and followed, leaving only Zheng Yi and Feng Jingzhai and his wife.
Zheng Xuan saw Zheng Yi continue to eat and drink after sitting down, and shook her head again and again, feeling a little distressed.
Feng Jingzhai took out a cigar and lit it with a big smile, half-jokingly and half-seriously said that Zheng Yi was richer than him, and told his wife not to worry about it.
Zheng Yi took down two bowls of rice, drank another bowl of fragrant and delicious old soup, shook off the white napkin to wipe his mouth, took the sterling silver cigarette case and lighter handed by Feng Jingzhai and thanked him in a low voice:
"After White moved to Huhai to make a fortune, I didn't have a chance to enjoy authentic Havana cigars, big sister, did the trading firm in Wuhan run it?"
Zheng Xuan replied quite humbly: "It opened on the eighth day of the first month of last month, and it was in the British Concession, less than 200 meters away from the consulate, but it was just ...... I don't have the time to take care of it, I'll leave it to the eldest brother, the eldest brother has done a good job, Mr. White is very satisfied, you ...... You won't resent me, will you? ”
Zheng Yi was not angry, turned to Feng Jingzhai and asked, "Have the people from Lu Lin's company looked for you?" ”
Feng Jingzhai nodded: "A few days after the Qingming Festival, the German named Hofstein came to me with your handwritten letter, considering Mr. White's feelings, I did not immediately agree to him, but just told him that the current situation is chaotic, and he needs to be carefully considered before replying, and it happened that the old father-in-law was going to Hong Kong to attend the diplomatic conference of the British, so I followed, in addition to handing over the letter from my father to your President Jiang, the main thing is to listen to your specific thoughts." ”
Zheng Yi thought about it for a long time: "In recent years, the Germans have had a hard time, and they have been squeezed by the European and American powers and the RB people very badly, but the German industry is recovering, especially the chemical industry and the pharmaceutical industry, which are growing rapidly with the support of the Anglo-American consortium. ”
"If you can't make up your mind for a while, I should find a way to open a pharmacy in Wuhan first, otherwise people won't look down on us in two years."
Feng Jingzhai was taken aback: "Are you so optimistic about Lu Lin Company? ”
Zheng Yi nodded: "That's right, three months ago, I reached a cooperation with Huddle, the manager of the South China branch of Lu Lin Company, on drug development, I don't have much knowledge in chemistry, so I can only provide the research direction of this new anti-inflammatory drug, and take out 8,000 pounds as research funds, Lu Lin Company is responsible for conducting research and clinical trials in Germany, once this drug is developed, it will replace all anti-inflammatory drugs on the market, bringing me great wealth." ”
Feng Jingzhai and Zheng Xuan were stunned, they never thought that when they were still satisfied with comprador trade, Zheng Yi had reached a cooperation with the Germans in drug research, whether it was vision or action, Zheng Yi was already far ahead of him.
After being silent for a long time, Feng Jingzhai finally made up his mind: "Okay, when I go back, I will find Hofstein, the manager of the Huhai branch of Lu Lin Company, to start a large pharmaceutical company in the French Concession first...... Don't worry about it in Wuhan, I'll do it with your sister and your eldest brother, and I don't need you to pay for it, and I'll leave you two and a half shares like Yinghua Foreign Bank. ”
Zheng Yi smiled with satisfaction: "To be honest, when I first met you, I didn't like you very much, not because you were arrogant, not because you were more handsome than me, and not because of your words and deeds that made a scene, but because I saw the indifference and cunning that scared me from your eyes, and I was worried that my eldest sister would marry the wrong person." ”
"But I only now found out that these qualities you possess are precisely the indispensable excellent qualities of successful people in the shopping malls and officialdom, plus my eldest sister has praised you a lot in correspondence in the past two years, I can feel that my eldest sister is very happy, so I slowly admire you."
Zheng Xuan was worried, Feng Jingzhai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Now it seems that you are more cunning than me, and it is very stressful to cooperate with someone like you!" Tell me, when are you willing to call me brother-in-law? ”
Zheng Yi couldn't help but smile: "Okay, brother-in-law, please forgive me for the offense!" ”
Feng Jingzhai was originally joking casually, but he never dreamed that Zheng Yi would call him brother-in-law, so Huo Ran stood up in excitement, strode up and hugged Zheng Yi hard: "Good, good!" From tonight onwards, we will be a family! ”
Zheng Xuan shed tears again, came over to hold Zheng Yi's face, and begged bitterly: "When can you call your father in front of you?" ”
Zheng Yi blushed suddenly, gently brushed his sister's hand away, and asked embarrassedly, "Has he become a British citizen?" ”
Zheng Xuan wiped away her tears and nodded slightly: "I joined a long time ago, otherwise how could I serve as a counselor of the British Embassy?" The eldest brother has also become a British citizen, and this time they came to Hong Kong to attend the diplomatic conference, and they are likely to buy some real estate in Hong Kong to set an example in front of the Chinese people. ”
Zheng Yi helped his sister to the seat: "That's it, I'll take a leave of absence to go to Hong Kong with you later, I have an account in the HSBC head office, and I have successively deposited more than 400,000 pounds in the past two years, I took out 400,000 yuan to entrust my brother-in-law and eldest sister to invest on my behalf, and take advantage of the current provincial and Hong Kong strikes Hong Kong real estate at the same price as cabbage, buy one or two freight terminals and a few pieces of land, and then build apartments on a large scale, how about it?" ”
Zheng Xuan was shocked: "You..... Where did you get all this money? ”
Zheng Yi looked at Feng Jingzhai: "Mr. White didn't tell you?" ”
Feng Jingzhai smiled bitterly: "I said yes, but he only said that he cooperated with you to apply for a few patents in motors, and didn't say how much money he made, I always thought that it would be 350,000 pounds at most, how do I know that you have earned so much." ”
Zheng Yi was happy: "See, right? Knowledge is money, knowledge is power, haha! Let's go, I'll send you to the hotel first, and then I'll go to Chief Yu to ask for leave. ”
Feng Jingzhai grabbed Zheng Yi: "Wait! The general strike is intensifying, and now Hong Kong is in a state of depression, and it may be difficult to recover in 10 or 8 years. ”
Zheng Yi stretched out his hand to help Zheng Xuan pick up the handbag, and pulled Feng Jingzhai to walk together: "Let's go, listen to me, the strike will stop before the end of the year, and within two years, people who fled Hong Kong will flock back, what are you waiting for if you don't make a move at this time?" I predict that within five years, the price of real estate in Hong Kong will definitely soar tenfold or even dozens of times, not to mention that you can please the British for your old father-in-law and your eldest brother......
