Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Yu Family Proposes Marriage
In fact, it is a very rude thing for Chen Qimei and his brothers to come to the door to propose marriage so recklessly, but fortunately, the children of the Yu family have received Western education, and Yu Qiaqing is not a person who is a family heirloom of poetry and books.
"But this, Mr. Zhao of Nanyang Group?"
"Junior Zhao Xuechu, I have seen Mr. Yu!"
Zhao Xuechu stepped forward and kowtowed respectfully, he was different from Chen Xuan, but he was seeing his future father-in-law.
"Haha, it's really a talent, young and promising, and at a young age, he was in charge of a group company with thousands of people, it's not simple!"
"Mr. has too much reputation, I dare not call it promising, Mr. is a senior in the business world, and I have to ask Mr. for more advice!"
"Good! Good! Hurry up, please! ”
Yu Qiaqing's eldest son hurriedly helped Zhao Xuechu up.
After chatting a few more words, Yu Qiaqing deserved to be an old Jianghu, and in a few words, Zhao Xuechu understood the bottom of the day, Yu Qiaqing coughed, and a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in from outside the door.
"Ouch! This is a banquet, what a faux pas! ”
The person who came was Yu Qiaqing's original partner, Yu Tingyi's mother-in-law, Chen Xuan and others naturally didn't believe the nonsense that she had just come back from outside, and several people stepped forward to give a salute.
Mrs. Yu sat down, and after greeting Chen Xuan and others, she focused on Zhao Xuechu a few times, and talked with Zhao Xuechu for a few words, she should be very satisfied with Zhao Xuechu, so everyone was happy, and a marriage was decided.
The maids of the Yu family put on the seats, the dishes of the flowing water were served, and all kinds of strange dishes Chen Xuan and others were simply unheard of, and there was a bang, several brightly dressed women came up like butterflies, a woman sat down on the pavilion and began to stroke the kite, and other women danced.
And Yu Qiaqing and his sons diligently persuaded him to drink, which made Chen Xuan, who thought he had seen the world, also open his eyes, let alone Sun Zhiheng.
After the banquet, Yu Qiaqing sent Chen Xuan and others out of the house, and warmly invited them to come over as guests often, and Chen Xuan and others naturally thanked them frequently.
After sending Zhang Youwei back to listen to the lotus courtyard, the group returned to Chen's house.
"What are you looking at?"
Zhao Xuechu, who was still in a state of excitement, saw Chen Xuan's strange eyes, and couldn't help but open his mouth to ask.
"I see how big a house Boss Zhao plans to build in the future, and how many maids will be invited to serve!"
Hearing Chen Xuan's teasing, Chen Qimei and Sun Zhiheng couldn't help laughing, the pomp of the Yu family is really not something that a small family can live on.
"Tingyi is not that kind of person, she and I have already discussed, and when we become relatives in the future, we can buy a small yard to live."
"That's not the case, the eldest lady of the family is already married to you, the girl of the Yu family is sensible, and the Yu family has not asked for anything, but there must be something, our family can't afford to lose this person, I still have tens of thousands of yuan over there, I will ask someone to bring it over tomorrow, you should prepare well."
Chen Qimei said.
"Big brother, don't worry about him, this kid has already had more money than you when he counts the dividends and various rewards at the end of the year, not to mention us, we are not as big as the Yu family, but we still have the strength to marry Miss Yu with dignity."
"What's yours is yours, mine is me, marriage is a big deal, you can't be sloppy, so you do what I say."
A few people didn't dare to resign, with Chen Qimei's temperament of fighting righteousness and squandering money, if he insisted on resigning, he was afraid that it would cause Chen Qimei's dissatisfaction, Chen Xuan also sighed, how could it be a fluke that Chen Qimei could fall into such a big reputation in the Republic of China, this friendship is enough to make Zhao Xuechu remember it for a lifetime, if he didn't hang up at a young age, I'm afraid that there would really be nothing to do with Chairman Jiang.
"In this way, isn't our Zhenhua planning a high-rise family area recently, and the wedding of the eldest brother in the middle of the school is still a few months away, so we will design a high-end community in Pudong, each household is composed of a single-family villa covering an area of about three acres, and we will also move over after it is built, and the villa area will also build a garden square, and the wedding will be held in the villa square."
"Okay, that's good, you need to hurry."
————————————————————————
"Brother Xuan, there is a person who claims to be an overseas Chinese surnamed Chen Nanyang to visit."
Chen Xuan's bodyguard Li Lizhu came in to report.
"It's Brother Jiageng, please, no, I'll go to greet you."
Chen Xuan trotted into the reception room, not Chen Jiageng and anyone else.
"It turned out to be my brother, and my brother has worked hard for a long time, and he has lost his way to meet that!"
"Haha, I know that Yiyang is at home, so I didn't disturb Yiyang's rest, because I am going to return to Nanyang, so I came to say goodbye to Yiyang."
"Brother, why be polite, is you going back to Nanyang so soon, Brother Jiageng's matter has been completed?"
"It's basically done, if it weren't for the party building meeting, I would have gone back a long time ago, this time, the main thing is to communicate with Yiyang about the work of the Baath Party in Nanyang, and ask Yiyang to teach me!"
"The constitution of the Baath Party, my brother knows, I won't go into more detail here, although the Manchu Qing Dynasty has no power in Nanyang, but you must also be careful of those foreign devils, they don't want to see the rise of a new force, so brother must not be careless, or be safe."
After the elder brother returns to Nanyang, he will focus on the development of European and American students in Nanyang and local aspiring youth, and he must pay attention to the loyalty of party members, do not pursue the rapid expansion of power and indiscriminately fill the number, try to unite the Chinese and overseas Chinese, even if they do not join us, we must try to give them the help they can, and make the reputation of our revival party out, in addition, the alliance will have a huge influence in Nanyang, and it will not conflict. Just try not to conflict with them. ”
"There is one more thing, my brother didn't come to me, but today I am also going to visit my brother, and now our Baath Party is training low-level officers, if there is a suitable one in Nanyang, you can take the exam, recommend it, you go to Sun Zhiheng for the specific exam content, he has ready-made exam papers in his hand."
"I thought about it for a long time, and found that it is difficult to find a place in China where artillery can be trained, and the training of artillery is easy to attract the attention of outsiders.
"How many people is Yiyang going to send over?"
"About a hundred people, it is expected that there will be 8-10 cannons of various kinds, oh yes, in fact, we can also build a military academy over there, yes, I asked Zhiheng to go with you, not only to select and train officers, but also to support my brother's work."
Chen Xuan became more and more excited, walking back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, people who are familiar with Chen Xuan know that this is what opportunity he has found and is ready to start the layout, and there is another reason Chen Xuan did not say, not that he does not trust Chen Jiageng, but now it is a bit shocking to say it.
He clearly knew that the Dutch were no longer in the era of the coachmen of the sea, and he might not be able to get a piece of the pie in the upcoming First World War, even if he failed, it would not be a big deal, but he would only lose some money, and if he succeeded, the benefits would be immeasurable.
"We can also open some reclamation companies in Nanyang, now that natural and man-made disasters continue in China, and the people can't eat, we can find the Dutch East India Company to contract land for reclamation, and then carry out a large number of immigrants, which not only solves the problem of eating for the people, but also reserves a lot of food for our cause. My brother can also set up a merchant group to protect like us, and I don't have to worry about ordnance and funds, I will contact the German foreign company. ”
"Can the Germans give us weapons, we're on Dutch territory?"
"Hehe, brother is not worried, foreign devils are not one heart, seeing us digging the corner of the Dutch, the Germans are too late to be happy, even if the Germans still have scruples, don't we have merchant ships, I plan to buy a few more ships, plus our existing ships, to set up the Nanyang Shipping Company, then we can easily transport weapons to the Nanyang!"
"Really? If Yiyang can find a way, there is no need to worry about money, and our overseas Chinese in Nanyang can make up tens of millions of silver, maybe we can also make a big profit in this regard! ”
"And this good thing?"
Chen Xuan couldn't believe his luck.
"Then what are you waiting for, we have done this, sell more weapons to Chinese compatriots, and we can arm them, even if something happens, we can also let our compatriots suffer less damage!"
Chen Xuan and Chen Jiageng worked together behind closed doors, and ideas burst out from time to time, and a sea road was also planned, and now there are many Chinese in Nanyang, and because the Chinese are hard-working and far-sighted, in fact, most of the Chinese in Nanyang are actually mixed well, but they do not have their own armed forces, and have been bullied by Westerners and local natives.
In this part of the South Seas, tropical fruits and grains are innumerable and cheap, and Zhenhua's ships completely transport people or commodities over, and then bring back fruits or grains, so there is no need to worry about returning home empty.
Chen Xuan also listened to Chen Jiageng's introduction to Nanyang in detail, from the geographical location to the customs and folklore, as well as the local specialties and the various forces in Nanyang, Chen Xuan asked people to record these things in detail for the future development of Nanyang, here, Chen Xuan has a relatively clear idea of the development of Nanyang in his heart.
