Chapter 254: He Shen in the Tongzhi Era
Bao Tong knows Li Guolou's morality, likes to sell Guanzi people, has the habit of officialdom old fritters, and is on the side of Prince Gong's old lover Zhen Yuhuan, not ashamed but proud, and he is calm and happy.
Bao Tong pretended to be unfathomable, and listened to Li Guolou's own words.
Li Guolou's voice was deep, and he said: "Master Bao, I don't want to wait any longer, I am ready to register a bank in the Tianjin British Concession, with Yelia as the chairman, with a start-up capital of one million taels of silver, no problem, and then flicker into ten million taels of silver, earn the first pot of gold, I will treat you as a friend and invite you to join the shares!" β
"Ten million taels." The bag couldn't fit anymore, and screamed.
"Master Bao, I still say that it is less, 10 million taels of silver can be done in less than half a year, and 20 million or 30 million taels of silver is also very possible, I am now a brother with the imperial eunuch Li Lianying, and all the silver of those dead eunuchs will come to my pocket." Li Guolou threw a peanut unhurriedly, and the peanut drew a wonderful arc and fell into his mouth.
Bao said together: "Xiao Lizi, you won't use high interest rates to attract customers, right?" β
Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Master Bao, only fools do this kind of self-defeating thing, the banking industry has its own rules, I do business, everything is well documented, first it is a favor card, and then it depends on the management method, the century-old foundation relies on accumulation, and there is no one or two things to fight for!" β
Bao Tong pondered for a moment and asked, "Little Lizi, then whose name do you say I will use to buy shares!" β
"Lord Bao, my wife and children are unreliable, so I use your name, this is a registered British Concession Bank, abide by the principle of confidentiality, I will cooperate with you among the officials, and the others are businessmen." Li Guolou looked at Bao Tong's facial expression, he ate Bao together, now he is in a good mood, how many people want to be close to him, and found three rich women, although there is still a gap from a million silver, but with the support of the family, it is not a problem to achieve the goal, even if Bao Tong refuses to participate in this transaction, it doesn't matter.
Bao glanced at it and said: "Xiao Lizi, your speed is too high, the hair hasn't grown yet, and the wife hasn't married yet, so let the foreign woman come out, aren't you afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty!" β
"Hey, hey, hey." Li Guolou smiled and said: "Master Bao, the foreign woman has a big belly, and I have been put on the reins of the horse in this life, even Zhen Yuhuan, a national treasure-level Xi Shi, is willing to live with me, don't you understand!" β
"Giggle." Bao laughed loudly, stroked his beard and nodded: "It makes sense, you can recruit a women's army to fight hard for you, you and Hong Xiu are all the same kind of people, I believe you can sit big all of a sudden, come, have a drink first!" β
Bao Tongzi is from Bole, it is he who discovered Li Guolou, a thousand-mile horse, knows Li Guolou's actions well, his wife will betray him, his son will lie to him, and the little minister will always leave him, but he also has a confidant "Li Guolou", who can't control his subordinates can become partners, Bao and Li Guolou sit together and drink together, and have long expressed his support for Li Guolou as always.
Li Guolou picked up the wine glass and looked at Bao Tong with a smile, he and Bao Tong are also the same kind of people, supporting each other to create a better future, Wu Defu's figure flashed in his mind, and he was immediately erased by him, and the characters in the past tense are not to worry.
"Xiao Lizi, how much money are you going to make in the first step." Bao asked casually, the two sides cooperate in business, of course, I want to know how much the return will be.
Li Guolou said: "Master Bao, how many times can I fight in life, I will fight hard for one round, double it, in June next year, we will cook wine with green plums and sit together to share the money!" β
"Oh!! There's a million pieces of silver. Bao Tong took it for granted, and thought of the ideal scene.
"What." Li Guolou was extremely dissatisfied and put down his chopsticks and said, "Master Bao, I said it's double 10 million silver!" β
"Poof." With a bang, Bao squirted wine from his mouth to the ground, choked him, and stumbled and said, "Little Lizi, you took the wrong medicine!" β
"yes, otherwise I wouldn't have sat down with you for a drink." Li Guolou was as steady as Mount Tai and picked up his wine glass, demagoguery, and said a piece of cake to him.
"Okay, there can be a few beats in life, and I will fight once." Bao got up together, pushed open the window, and if he has money, he can honor the prince, the emperor, and the queen mother, and after five years, he has the ability to enter the cabinet, he is a conscientious, courageous, and tolerant leader, and he is sad about the poverty and backwardness of the Qing Empire, and wants to change the fate of the country.
The breeze blew through Bao Tong's beautiful face, three strands of beard swayed, Bao looked at the scenery outside the window, his mood was much better, the young Li Guolou brought him an impact, outsiders don't know, he has great expectations for Li Guolou, the future of the Qing Empire should belong to people like Li Guolou.
During office hours, Li Guolou drank three glasses of wine, slightly drunk and red-faced, in a comfortable mood, walking through the picturesque back garden, butterflies fluttering, birds singing and flowers, Li Guolou sat on the railing of the corridor, sobered up, and threw a pebble into the pond, causing a circle of ripples.
Li Guolou had a headache, where to go Since he made a choice, why bother with his heart, he was originally free and uninhibited, but he had a fetters in his heart, and he thought of a terrible scene.
There was a wave of anger in his heart, he wanted to find Yao to settle the account, Li Guolou pulled his legs and rushed to the Tianzihao compound, and he ignored others when they greeted him.
As expected, Ai Hai and several Tianzihao brothers were in the wrong office.
"Hello Captain Li!"
"Little Lizi, have you been drinking!"
"Ah, Captain Li and Master Bao are mixed up, why don't you ask us to drink together!"
Everyone greeted Li Guolou one after another, and looked at the capable people in their eyes, rich and powerful, born noble, not the objects of admiration of the brothers, the errands were done beautifully and well, and they were capable people in the eyes of the brothers, Li Guolou was the "timely rain Song Jiang" in the eyes of the brothers, and Wu Defu, who was originally sitting on the seat, was "Wang Lun, a talented man in white", and should be killed by "Li Chong, the head of the leopard".
"Ai Hai, you go out for me, I want to say a few words to Captain Yao." Li Guolou ignored anyone, stood at the door awe-inspiringly, looked at the people who walked out, and his cold expression showed no concern.
The beautiful bearded man Yao Cao laughed and said, "Little Lizi, why are you so angry, who offended you!" β
Li Guolou closed the door, picked up a backrest chair, sat on his ass, and hissed exhaustedly: "Yao Cuo, what you have done, you know!" β
"Hahahaha." Yao Cuo used a string of infectious laughter to hide his panic, dealing with Li Guolou is direct, and he can see through the old bottom for Li Guolou without quibbling, originally the brothers got together to discuss various routines, and asked Li Guolou to do a play in front of him, but he didn't expect that Li Guolou would see through who was the protagonist of this play as soon as he came up.
"God hunts is God catches, guns shoot birds, know who to settle accounts with, but you must know that if you want people to know what to do unless you do nothing, someone is killing yourself, do you want all the brothers to die with him?" Yao Cuo glared at Li Guolou angrily and refuted Li Guolou's words.
"But you can't die without help, and you will fall into the well." Li Guolou reprimanded angrily.
Yao Cuo's face was solemn, and he sighed: "How could I do such a thing, Xiao Lizi, you don't hear anything outside the window, it was Xiao Xianggong who asked me to investigate, Xiao Xianggong didn't understand what to do, where to go, what did you say I should do, do you want us to let the foundation we have built up so hard go down the drain!" β
Yao Co opened his eyes and said nonsense, who can expose his lies, and it will do no harm to him in collusion with Xiao Xianggong.
Three questions made Li Guolou speechless, he had already bowed his head to power, could he still ask others to die righteously, Li Guolou lowered his head, and said unwillingly: "Then you should also let me know!" β
"HeyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Yao Cuo regained the initiative, secretly rejoiced in his heart, and sighed: "Xiao Lizi, you are so prosperous, where have you ever cared about our cause, people's hearts are going to be scattered, and the team is disbanded, what are you doing, do you want me to expose you!" β
Majestic and dignified big brother, Yao Cuo looked at Li Guolou angrily, only knowing that he was inclined to climb high branches, and turned the phoenix and gentle township, Li Guolou did not deserve the right to speak.
"I, I, I, I'm not living for the future brethren." was finally thought of by Li Guolou for a big truth.
Yao Cuo slapped the table with his big hand and shouted: "Okay, for your words, you have to pick up this burden and put the money in your own pocket, who you say will support, we will trust you, you say that He Shen will change an era, let the Qing Empire sit on the prosperous era of Kangxi, you are the Tongzhi era He Shen, we believe that you can change the situation of the Qing Empire being poor and white, use your Western witchcraft, and build Jingshi into a model metropolis that does not leave any stone unturned!" β
"What is this?" Li Guolou opened his mouth and stammered, not knowing how to answer Yao's wrong mouth.
Yao Cuo walked to Li Guolou's side, showed a pleased smile, patted Li Guolou on the shoulder, and said: "The seat has the ability to live in it, you are welcome, since you have opened a window and spread advanced Western culture in, you must have a beginning and an end, you have to help me build the club, and you will write the name of "Good Farewell Club"! β
"Shanghainese." Li Guolou heard the voiceover, and the meaning of the name of the club was fun.
"That's right, when you drink together at night, you can't always think about your own one-third of an acre, be willing to give up, and do more." Yao had something to say in his wrong words, blaming Li Guolou for always mixing with his own team and forgetting his old brother.
The eldest brother is still Yao Cuo, he is still the third brother, but the financial power of Tianzihao is going to be handed over to him, Li Guolou knows that he will be bold next, money can make money, he wants to open up the world for the brothers, launder the black money, and not let the ruthless government copy it, he is one step closer to the banking industry.
"Okay, don't kill it." Li Guolou made a compromise, and the characters in the past tense were wiped away like chalk ash.
"Of course." Yao mistakenly thought about which wives of Wu Defu were good-looking, and he was obliged to enter the inner house.
Li Guolou was assured by the chief and his brother, and he felt a lot better, Yao Cuo finally sat on the righteous big brother, Tianzihao was integrated, and he also became a real power figure, isn't all this what he wants.
Suddenly, Li Guolou understood, he had long hoped in his heart that Wu Defu would be unlucky, despicable and selfish, he was buried deep in his heart, human nature was evil, and good behavior was cultivated by the environment, and he wanted to cultivate a group of despicable, dirty, and selfish villains who were more despicable, dirty, and selfish than him, and cultivate them into patriots and people-loving gentlemen.
"Work hard for the Qing Dynasty, and find the truth unforgettable.
The road ahead is long, I will seek the right way! β
Li Guolou seemed to be a righteous gentleman, and he felt that he said a seven-word quatrain.
"Head, Jinshi and first, let's go to the scientific examination, the cave room spends candle night, and when the gold list is named, double happiness is coming!"
The sound of sycophants rolled in, the office was crowded with people, everyone looked at Li Guolou with expectant eyes, Li Guolou was all the idols who hunted and worshipped,
