"Xiao Dezhang, why hasn't Shang Qiheng kicked a scene in Shandong?" Cixi felt that her body was heavy, she took a nap for a while, and was woken up by the sound of a gust of wind blowing the weeping willows.

"Back to Lafayette, I haven't heard any news from Shandong in the past few days, but a few days ago, I heard Liu Gonggong of the Kagura Department who went to Zhoucun to purchase loudspeakers say that the ground in Shandong is too peaceful, there are many business trips to and fro, and the crops in the field are also prosperous. I changed the hot wheel car from Jinan, and I arrived in Zhou Village in only two hours, which is not worse than the hot wheels of the third prince. It's hard to say whether Lord Shang's side is successful, but I heard that Lord Yinchang has a wonderful military training in Texas, and the team of tens of thousands of people is like a person, with bright armor, swords and guns like a forest, immobile like a mountain, and aggression like fire. ”

"Poor mouth, this is the word that Yue Quanchuan said." Cixi was also amused, "Yin Chang seems to have given you a lot of silver, look at the sweet ones for you, pick up the nice words and say." However, the mourning family still has no progress in this Shang Qiheng, originally this Wu Chenxuan is also a person who understands, and the truth of high merit is also clear, and he goes abroad to go abroad. But the people below are really ignorant, so none of the Taoist prefects and counties can be the masters of the house, and they really eat talents. ”

"Lord Shang may be in contact with those Taoists." Xiao Dezhang didn't dare to make too many times, "Lafayette, you are relieved, this Lord Shang has been in Shandong for a day, and the officials have the backbone, and Lord Yinchang's knife handle is tight, and this Shandong will not be able to run out of your old man's palm." ”

"Alas, the mourning family is also salty and eats radishes and worries lightly, this is also the Qing Dynasty, a demon will come out if you can't stand it." Cixi sighed, this work of pasting the Qing Dynasty is not the work of Li Hongzhang and Li Zhongtang alone, although she Cixi has also helped a lot, but maintaining the rule of the Manchu Qing is also considered to be dedicated, worthy of her queen mother's throne "There are nine governors in this world, dozens of small feudal * Xinjiang, and a few of them are sincerely supporting my Qing Dynasty." Beiyang is already unable to penetrate the needle and splash the water, and Shandong has also been made into inaction and governance by the end side, and the military aircraft department's military order is not easy to use on the ground in Shandong, and it is difficult to govern. This is also the discord between the two, if these two people are allowed to have a connection, the country of the Great Qing Kingdom will not be reliable. ”

"Lafayette, there is a nursery rhyme in this Beijing city that "the python turns over and the water is muddy, and the golden scales change color in the sky". There are some people here who have to say. Taking advantage of Cixi's worries, Xiaode Zhang Jin said.

"Ao, there is such a thing, Xiao Dezhang, you have to tell the mourning family."

"Hey, Lafayette, it is said that when Yuan Weiting Yuan was born, his father Yuan Baozhong Yuan had a dream that a big toad crawled on his child. This matter is boiling in the Yuan family, and it is said that this Yuan Shikai is the reincarnation of a toad. ”

"This also has a nose and eyes, but to say that this Yuan Shikai and the toad are indeed quite similar, it is no wonder that others think that he is the reincarnation of the toad." Cixi smiled. She recalled how honorable Yuan Shikai's benevolent brother was, with a short neck and thick arms; With short legs and a thick waist, it can be said that the image is quite different from ordinary people. His walking posture is also very distinctive, he walks with an external figure, and the degree of appearance is obvious, you can see at a glance, isn't it just a big toad?

"The gods and gods are weird and not worth believing, but let's have fun with Lafayette." Xiao Dezhang massaged his scalp twice, and Cixi moaned comfortably twice, although her eyes were closed, her heart was alive. To say that although this Shandong is hateful, Wu Chenxuan is still well-informed and interesting, if he wants to delegate power, he will let go of power, and if he wants to go abroad, he will go abroad. Compared with Yuan Weiting's respectfulness in front of people, the arrogance behind people is always stronger, and the Wuyi New Army has more than 20,000 troops in the hands of Yin Chang, and Yin Chang has a good relationship with the fourth and eighth families, no matter which one is chosen to replace this godson, he has a knife to rely on. But these hundreds of thousands of Beiyang elite soldiers ate and drank the court, but they were like Yuan Shikai's private soldiers, and they couldn't even send a prison army in, and they were not satisfied.

"Send a message to Prince Qing and Prince Alcohol, this year's New Year Festival is not good, this Beiyang Nanyang's new army salary silver has changed the treasure banknote to seven or three points of the ocean, and several transactions in Beiyang also have to be enshrined, let the household department start to operate the charter."

"Huh" Cui Erye, who was waiting outside the door, received the order to pass on the message, Xiao Dezhang's work was more diligent, Cixi dozed off comfortably, and Xiao Dezhang was thinking about whether the Shandong Chamber of Commerce would rise again.

"Yes, it goes up." Little George. Morgan said, "The price of this standard system is seriously undervalued, and our family intends to negotiate with the Montague family, maybe we can cooperate more deeply." ”

"Sean, I'm more optimistic about your cave, thirty or forty million wealthy people, ha, a piece of uncultivated virgin land, don't you mind if we invest in some chemical companies."

"Of course not, Mr. Dupont III." Wu Chenxuan, who had a smile on his face, despised this bold big-nosed uncle in his heart, what kind of mouth, Shandong can be called a cave, are you the Bull Demon King? "Shandong welcomes investors from any country and will follow the common practice in the West to give the most favored treatment to these foreign-funded enterprises. Still. ”

Looking at the nervous big nose, Wu Chenxuan smiled and said, "Maybe my standard chemical can have the honor to talk to you about cooperation, after all, our ammonia nitrogen production line has just been put into trial operation, and there is still a lot of production capacity that has not been developed." In the face of a large market of 40,000 people, plus the rising Japan in the Far East and several colonies in the South Seas, even if the per capita consumption power ratio is one-tenth of that of the United States, the population base is enough to keep the market capacity of the two equal. ”

"Oh, that's pretty exciting." Next to John. Rockefeller took the champagne but didn't drink a little, "But I'm more interested in your angel fund, you know, even the Rothschilds are very interested in your genius idea, they never thought that they could control a new company at such a low price, such a return on investment is simply a miracle." ”

"Hey, I have a more interesting idea, would you like to hear it?" Wu Chenxuan proposed, and several people raised their wine glasses and said "oh", and then several people stared at Wu Chenxuan, listening to what magical way this genius oriental businessman had to make money.

"Since it comes to angel funds, it is actually a kind of venture capital, after all, there is often no return, but I have a more secure but not necessarily low return method, but I need to rely on your power and funds."

"Of course, there is a reward for what you give, and God knows, we are all honest and kind businessmen." George Morgan's smile resembles a wolf grandmother who seduces Little Red Riding Hood.

"First of all, the banks controlled by the families have registered some branches in Shandong, and then set up some investment banks, insurance cooperatives and funds through branch holdings, and then control industrial and commercial enterprises and service enterprises with high growth rates through these capital operation platforms. In this way, our finances will grow geometrically with the growth of the economy, and in the event of an economic slowdown, we can withdraw funds in advance to let the company change hands, circulate in our capital circle, and introduce external funds to digest the risks one by one. ”

"How to choose a company with a high growth rate?" John. Rockefeller is worthy of being the foundation of a financial family, and he can see the most important link at a glance.

"If there is no war or turmoil in seven or eight years, the economic growth rate of Shandong and other regions under my control will always be above 15 percent, and the economic growth rate of Japan will not be less than 12 percent, of course, their debt ratio will be relatively high." Wu Chenxuan explained, "In fact, we have a kind of mutual aid organization, such as the Shandong Chamber of Commerce itself is a risk controller, we can clearly analyze the price-earnings ratio of certain industries through the internal investigation of members, when there is a risk control point, we can guide the flow of funds through bank interest rates and member investment guidance, to avoid the risk of excess." If you look at this, the chamber of commerce, which does not have many pitfalls, can guarantee a higher growth rate than other economies, and the investment value of these companies is not worth our expectations? ”

"It's a brilliant idea, you run your kingdom as if it were a big group, and it's nice that you respect the rules of the economy itself, and don't have the administrative thinking that other Orientals are accustomed to." John. Rockefeller said, "We have been paying attention to your Shandong, to be honest, no one could have predicted two years ago that there would be a place of rapid economic development on the land of the Qing Dynasty, and I don't know what companies you can recommend to us." ”

"Of course, I have a piece of information here that may be of some help to you." Wu Chenxuan beckoned, took three identical 100-page introductions of investment companies from the hands of the appointed New York branch manager, and handed them to the three of them.

"It's very professional, and this format fits our thinking very well." Little George. Morgan thinks that such an investment introduction is simply a model of a corporate investment risk control report, which has a clear introduction to the company's assets, liabilities, capital chain, supply chain, market, prospects, price-earnings ratio, rate of return and other detailed information, with the past three years of corporate financial statements and line charts, industry prospect analysis, bank grading evaluation, chamber of commerce investment guidance and independent auditor firm audit reports, etc., if everything is credible, this is enough for their family to decide whether to invest or not. In fact, even their own family's bank may not be able to provide such a detailed investment analysis report. "Damn, those guys from the investment department should be sent to Daqing to go back to the furnace, what did they originally offer, a bunch of third-rate novelists."

"It seems that you are well prepared, and I think our family will be interested in this," said DuPont III, who knew that the chemical companies in this report were a good fit for his family to work with, and that he was confident that the first Far East branch in Shandong would be a good idea.

"Actually, gentlemen." Wu Chenxuan, who cleared his throat, took out three reports as if he were juggling: "If you are interested in the cooperation model of the Shandong Chamber of Commerce, I suggest that we also replicate a bigger and stronger organization on the land of the United States, and maybe it will grow into a business empire in the future." ”

"Pan American Chamber of Commerce?" Looking at this mundane name, John. Rockefeller had already invested in the content, and he certainly wouldn't have imagined that just ten years later the name "Pan American" would become a Tyrannosaurus rex that would make all American businessmen shudder, and not one of them
