So, Zhang Hanqing was cheeky again, ready to use his three-inch incorruptible tongue to move the largest capitalist in the Republic of China to contribute to the development of Fengtian. Although he can talk about military affairs in front of Cai and Jiang, and talk about politics in front of Zhu and Gu, he has no stage fright, but whether he can succeed again in Zhou Xuexi's words, in Zhang Hanqing's words: "Although success is uncertain, Chengren has determination." ”

Businessmen are suspicious. In order to enhance the weight of his words, Zhang Hanqing begged to let Cai Ye accompany him. Otherwise, he is a half-old child, and he is afraid that he will not even be able to enter the door of the Zhou family.

Cai Ye had already heard about his scenery at the Zhu family's banquet, and he liked this rising star even more, so he no longer shirked, but stated that he was only responsible for opening the door, and the result was controlled by Xiao Zhang himself.

In fact, he just said that he was able to come forward, which itself made his position clear, but he didn't want to admit it.

So under the light of General Cai's name, Zhou Xuexi finally met Zhang Hanqing cordially. This industrial tycoon had not yet reached the peak of his later fame at this time.

For the young Zhang Hanqing, Zhou Xuexi's first impression was a bit of a feeling that he had no hair on his lips and couldn't do things well. When Cai introduced that he was the eldest son of Fengtian general Zhang Zuolin and came to Beijing to "study", the elder who had been through the official palace only greeted him in a friendly manner: "Please sit down and serve tea." If General Cai was the protagonist, he would definitely say, "Please sit down and offer fragrant tea."

Regarding the various rumors in Beijing about this young man winning the praise of Cai and Jiang, he only regarded it as a piece of gossip news, and he was quite unimpressed in his heart; As for the various praises from the Zhu family's banquet, they are also noncommittal. In business, there are many politicians who talk about it. However, he smiled at Cai Ye and said: "It is rare for Mr. Songpa to come to the cold house, and the old man feels much better." ”

Sitting is sitting, tea is good tea. At this point, Zhou Xuexi is very thoughtful, he does not take advantage of the age difference and status difference between himself and Zhang Hanqing, and well interprets the essence of Chinese Confucianism "harmony is precious". As a businessman in his bones, Zhou Xuexi will not easily offend anyone, especially a son-in-law like Zhang Hanqing, who is the most likely to hold grudges.

Cai Yi explained his intention very simply: "Cai Yi was just entrusted by this little Zhang Shinephew to come to the door rashly, and if he was rude, he also looked at Zhou Lao Haihan." Although Cai Ye didn't know anything about the economy, after listening to Han Qing's analysis, he felt that there was still some truth, and at the same time asked Zhou Lao to correct it. ”

Only then did Zhou Xuexi know that this Zhang Xiaogongzi was the protagonist. I had no relationship with Zhang Zuolin, who heard that he was the division commander outside the gate, and the other party took the liberty to come to the door, could it be to borrow money? Look at this Zhang Xiaogongzi's eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his clothes are extraordinary (Zhang Hanqing: When you go out to make friends with relatives, how can you do it without a good set of clothes?) A standard playboy appearance (Zhang Hanqing: Brother is just handsome, okay?) The cost in Beijing must be expensive, is it the autumn wind?

He admires Cai Ye, who is not convinced by the world's fame? It should be unusual to see that Cai Ye has a relationship with him, but why do you want to hit me when you play the swing? After thinking about it, oh, Cai Ye doesn't have much extra money, and he doesn't have much money in his hands, right? Since there is General Cai's face, how much is it good to give? After thinking about it, it was a fork.

Zhang Hanqing said bluntly: "Old Zhou, Xueliang took the liberty to come to the door this time, and he was also instructed by Gui Lao, because he wanted to do a big business with Zhou Lao. ”

Zhou Xuexi said secretly: "It's here." You are a little doll, tearing tiger skin and sitting on a coat, moving out of the great god Zhu Qichao, and having the face of General Cai to do business with me, this excuse is not afraid of people laughing at it. But he smiled and said, "Oh, what is Zhang Gongzi's good business, let's hear about it?" ”

If the offer is acceptable, I will touch my nose and admit it, after all, the face of the two is there. The "business" is negotiated, and he pays some money to the "share", but as for whether he can get it back, he is not in consideration.

Zhang Hanqing said: "Knowing that Zhou Lao is an expert in opening coal mines, my father intends to open a new coal mine in Fengtian Province, and I want to ask Zhou Lao to sum up all aspects of manpower allocation, machine purchase and capital preparation. ”

Zhou Xuexi said secretly: "Good girl, you don't have a small appetite." To open a coal mine, don't think about it without a million or 100,000 yuan. This young man really dares to open his mouth. You are a strong man outside the border, and you also want to reach out to me, do you really think that my Zhou Xuexi's money fell from the sky?! Thinking about it, I was angry in my heart, and I was a little ironic when I spoke again: "It takes a lot of investment to open a coal mine, let's talk about business, how much capital can General Zhang spend financially?" Decay alone doesn't have that much power. ”

In these days, those who have the power of the army really dare to think that there are many people who divert money from the treasury, and it is not worth making a fuss. In Zhou Xuexi's heart, Zhang Hanqing's Fengtian general is only afraid that he will also get this idea, and make a profit in the business field, which is also the way to be an official.

Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said: "It's not a secret, the finances of Fengtian Province are also very tight, and my father has no intention of spending money from the government at present." ”

Zhou Xuexi became even more angry: "I don't want to come out of anyone, do you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?" Then you might as well grab a gun faster. He simply didn't look at the hateful-looking boy next to him (Zhang Hanqing: Don't hate Wu and Wu, okay?) Xu Xu said: "If you don't pay for it, and you want to have a coal mine to build, Hanqing must have a good way?" ”

Zhang Hanqing shook his head and said sincerely: "Xueliang was thinking when he came, and I wanted to ask Zhou Lao to give some advice. ”

Zhou Xuexi no longer cares about the anger in his heart, and he no longer cares about the prestige of General Cai---- what if Zhang Zuolin from outside the gate comes in person, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven!" What's wrong with Cai Yi's fame, who doesn't know that you are just an outdated general? He suddenly laughed out loud and said, "That old man has a good idea. ”

Before Zhang Hanqing finished speaking, he asked suspiciously: "Old Zhou has a good idea?" ”

Zhou Xuexi laughed and said, "You might as well go and rob it!" Although he said it in a joking tone, it was still difficult to hide a little resentment.

It's the first time I've heard this kind of cold joke since I crossed over, and it's still from the mouth of an old man who is old and virtuous. Zhang Hanqing didn't hold back his breath, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Old Zhou is really funny." He paused and said his unformed plan: "Xueliang thinks that the word 'robbing' said by Zhou Lao is very much in line with me. However, the word 'grab' is not our hands, but someone else's 'grabbing' to send money. ”

Zhou Xuexi also seemed to hear a cold joke, looked at Zhang Hanqing like an idiot and said, "How can others rush to send money?" His words are like the atmosphere of the horns in the cross talk.

Zhang Hanqing slowly described the plan in his heart: "Xueliang thinks that to build a large coal mine with an annual output of one million tons, the amount of money spent will be amazing, and Zhou Lao's liquidity alone is afraid that it will not be enough." Therefore, Xueliang came here to borrow the fame of Zhou Lao and symbolically make some contributions, so as to drive the courage of other investors to build it in the form of shares! ”

"Of course, my father will set up a 'China Merchants Bureau' in Mukden, and this coal mine will be established in the form of the government, of course, the management power will be in the investor, and the distribution of dividends will also be implemented in proportion to the capital contribution. The only thing that is needed is that the Fengtian Merchants Bureau will own 30% of the dry shares in the name of the state asset management through the sale of land and services, and in addition, it will also be responsible for continuing to raise funds and deal with the silver account and provide guarantees. Of course, with Mr. Zhou's connections, if the corresponding equipment and manpower are provided, it will be converted into an amount as part of the equity. ”

He said calmly, but Zhou Xuexi was shocked in his heart: "Obediently, it still has an annual output of one million tons, and this is not 5 million taels of silver dollars that cannot be taken at all, this young man really dares to think!" "You must know that when Luanzhou Mine was established, the initial capital was 2 million taels of silver, and when it merged with Kaiping Mine, both parties invested 1 million pounds (British pounds) each.

I want to "borrow the fame of the old man", hehe, it sounds good, and it's not an endorsement for you! You made the capital and left in one sentence, but I, Zhou Xuexi, still want to help you pay off your debts? Do you want to get a three-thirds of the penny for less than a penny? The heart of this empty glove white wolf is too dark. While carefully weighing how to refuse, he said slowly: "The initial investment in investing in coal mines is huge, and if it is estimated based on the annual output of one million tons of coal, I am afraid that it will not be possible to do it without five million funds." If there is no follow-up funding, it will be difficult to obtain follow-on financing once there is a change in the operation. There is no decent thing to mortgage, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for the partners to win the trust. "Okay, I'll kick you the problem. According to the goods of various warlords in the early Republic of China, land, forests and even official seals can be the object of mortgage, and Zhang Zuolin outside the customs may also have the calculation of mortgaging the railway, which is not impossible in the past.

But time has passed, and these things are no longer working. After the Republic of China, the government took over the ownership of these major projects related to the national economy and people's livelihood to the state, and after the 21 turmoil, no one dared to use these methods to make money. The central government did not approve it, and these local actions were innumerable, and the merchants in Beijing and Tianjin City were all masters who were proficient in this way, and they could not coax them to make money.

Zhou Xuexi thought to himself: "Look at what hole cards you show, if you mortgage land, railways, etc., forget it." "I think the other party is using a mortgage to defraud some of the money, and when the central government does not agree, at least the first investment is wasted. In the way of deception, the tone must be decisive, and the person who deceives must believe.

Zhang Hanqing didn't know whether it was a plan or didn't care about it at first, but still said calmly: "The mortgage project naturally exists, otherwise how to win the trust of others." ”

It's coming, and I'm really going to fight the autumn wind!

As soon as Zhou Xuexi spoke, he bluntly refused: "Land, railways and all kinds of mineral resources cannot be used as collateral, and this can only take effect with the approval of the central government." ”

Zhang Hanqing was stunned: "Who said that I would mortgage land, railways, etc.?" ”

Zhou Xuexi: "..."(This boy doesn't even want a minimum fig leaf!) He doesn't understand Zhang Hanqing's thinking anymore!

Zhang Hanqing said: "I just suggested that my father establish a tobacco ** system in Fengtian Province and use the income from tobacco tax as collateral, I don't know if Zhou Lao thinks this is feasible?" ”
