On the morning of the same day, Li Guolou's family was like a great enemy, a meeting about inviting into the bank in the future, and a secret meeting was held in the house, and the participants in the meeting were the organizer Li Guolou, the chairman Yelia, the board of directors Zhen Yuhuan, the eldest brother Li Guoyun, and the brother-in-law Tan Guoxi.

Li Hongzhang's eldest son, Li Jingyi, Bao and his wife Yesenia, and one member: Prince Gong's second son, Baylor Zaiying.

Prince Gong saw that the future of the bank was limitless, and he did not hesitate to invest in the banking industry, occupying 2% of the bank's shares.

They want to synthesize a force, fight big with a small one, and use the start-up capital of 1.2 million taels of silver as the capital to create a miracle of a powerful consortium with a capital of tens of millions of taels of silver, and a liquidity of more than 100 million taels of silver, which can compete with any foreign bank as a national joint venture bank.

From Hu Xueyan's "Fukang Qianzhuang" Shanghai Branch, the second shopkeeper Huang Yousheng was the general manager, sitting on the other end of the long table, Huang Yousheng is in his thirties, round head and round head, short in stature, with a thick beard, always smiling when looking at people, he was Hu Xueyan's colleague in the past, it was Hu Xueyan who took him to debut, he Shanghai "Fukang Qianzhuang" privately lent usury, made his own profits, and was exposed by his subordinates and reported to Hu Xueyan, but he escaped the fate of being dismissed by giving a beautiful concubine to Hu Xueyan The Shanghai branch was the second shopkeeper, but afterwards Huang Yousheng felt aggrieved, regretted losing his concubine, and felt that the development of "Fukang Qianzhuang" had no future, so he took refuge in Hu Xueyan's sworn enemy Li Guoyun.

Enemies and enemies are friends, and the Li brothers follow this principle, Li Guoyun and Li Guolou did not care about Huang Yousheng's personal morality and personal behavior, and resolutely hired Huang Yousheng as the first general manager of the bank.

After getting to know each other and taking a seat, Chairman Yelia smiled and said: "General Manager Huang, we have such a strong lineup, and we can't do "Fukang Qianzhuang", so we can't say it, do you have the confidence to crush Hu Xueyan's "Fukang Qianzhuang"!" ”

Huang Yousheng pretended to be scheming, and said with a subtle smile: "Chairman Yelia, if I aim to squeeze Hu Xueyan's "Fukang Money Village", then you are underestimating me, what is a money bank, surpassing "Wanjia Ticket Number" is my first goal, as long as I am given ten years, this Qing Kingdom is the figure of the bank that we invite in, even Nanyang can have a semicolon, and there will be a bank in Paris, France in the near future. Let's watch the Moulin Rouge dance show in Paris! ”

Everyone laughed, they were confident that the first joint-stock bank in the Qing Dynasty would be opened all over the country, as the so-called officials and businessmen, "officials" and "businessmen" they all occupied, with a strong background, coupled with advanced ideas, creating a historical precedent, nothing could be done, only how much silver could be considered a success, for the latter point, they needed Li Guolou's guidance.

Yelia not only provoked Huang Yousheng and kicked Li Guolou with one foot, but he also promised to go back to France with her, accompany her to see the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, and never forget what she said.

Li Guolou saw that everyone was looking at him with expectant eyes, so he stood up and said: "Before cheering everyone up, I will first plan for you to invite you into the bank in the future, first of all, the beginning stage, is the stage of profiteering, there will be great development, will gather the world's money and we invite us to come to the bank, at this stage the court will remember us well, help us invite the bank to open up the territory, and hand over the national key capital circulation projects such as Caoyun to us, at this stage, we only need to achieve development, expansion, mergers, acquisitions, Even squeezing out other ticket numbers, money villages, there are people on the top, there are people below to support us, the first year to complete the handover of three million taels of silver is not empty talk, others think that Zhili, Liangjiang area a year to pay taxes to the treasury is only more than 7 million taels of silver, our small bank can be more powerful than the local government, the account can not be calculated like this, it depends on the place, how much liquidity a year, the treasury is only more than 7 million taels of silver, and the part handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, at least more than 10 million taels, to produce a surplus of 10 million taels, At least 100 million taels of silver are needed for capital circulation, plus Zhili occupies the important land of Gyeonggi, and the liquidity in this area will be doubled, the so-called wealth is hidden in the people, as long as we invite the two places to take root in the bank, there are hundreds of millions of taels of silver in circulation, and it is also possible that with hundreds of millions of taels of silver, one in and one out, and earn 10 million taels of silver, it is not empty talk! ”

Some people understand this truth, some people understand this truth, Huang Yousheng said loudly: "In fact, we invite the bank to say that it is a sheep's head to sell dog meat, which is equivalent to a government-run bank, and the business is sent to the door, as long as there is no problem with expanding it, there is no problem with making money, and now Prince Gong, Li Zhongtang, and the holy family is thick, then there is no problem with making money, and there is no problem with making money in the future, and one day those official businesses, the imperial court will do it by itself, we can only make money by ourselves, and the profiteering stage is over, we are like the foreign "HSBC" British Standard Chartered Bank", really rely on the operation to make money, go on the right path, small profits, protect the capital, and move forward solidly, but by then we have tens of millions of taels of silver principal, and then hundreds of millions of taels of silver liquidity, making millions of taels of silver a year is no problem, of course, I hope that we invite us to come to the bank for official business as long as possible, and the court will continue to favor Prince Gong and Li Zhongtang! ”

Zai Ying is only a teenager and is a prodigy, Prince Gong Yixun thinks that he is the only one who can inherit his throne, and he is smarter than his brother Zai Cheng, he understands when he hears it, and nods as an adult.

Li Jingyi is not yet thirty years old, he is in a happy mood, he doesn't have to use his brain, he occupies the identity of Li Hongzhang's eldest son, and the family is making money everywhere, he is actually Li Hongzhang's stepson, and he should be regarded as Li Hongzhang's eldest nephew, but his name has already been decided, and he occupies the first place in the official position and title of Mengyin's descendants, and he is already a five-rank official at a young age.

Zaiying and Li Jingyi are just listening, understanding the operation of the bank, you must know that the title of governor is 6,000 taels a year, plus the gray income of 300,000 taels of silver, the prince is only 20,000 taels of silver, and the rest also depends on the income of the manor and the filial piety of officials, now a bank has to earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year, and the two of them have to occupy 3% of the income, how can they not care, then please come to the bank is a joint-stock bank, and you can earn money for nothing without using your brains for a lifetime, this is to learn from foreigners in the industry, The shares can also be passed on to future generations, and the two of them hope that the grace of Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang will grow as long as possible, and they will not be able to earn tens of millions of taels of silver, and this business will be regarded as a loss.

Of course, they are not greedy, and the company's articles of association state that half of the money earned will be handed over to the state, and they feel that they are patriots and righteous people.

Li Guohan stood up with a smile and said proudly: "Let me tell you a good news, Jenny spinning machine J-2 type, has been successfully imitated, officially began to roll out in an all-round way, and the foreigners kind of watt steam engine, we have also invented several steam engines, named: East Asia No. 1, East Asia No. 2, with textile mills, the effect is very good, and now the United Kingdom, France, the United States has applied for patents, the revitalization of the textile industry in the Qing Dynasty is no longer an empty word, little Japan let them go to hell, hahahaha!" ”

Li Guoyun laughed so much that tears flowed out, and Tan Guoxi next to him also wiped the corners of his eyes, how difficult it is, "Yadong Textile Factory" has been supported to the present, and the handicraft loom can never be compared with the steam engine, and the national textile industry will occupy a place in the world's textile industry in their hands.

Li Guolou pouted, did not speak, the Chinese imitated the Jenny spinning machine J-2 type, do not pay the foreigner patent fees, and the Chinese delved into the machine, immediately went to foreign countries to register a patent, the Chinese people are this kind of inferior roots, like to take advantage, but also sell well, will draw inferences, no wonder the foreigners are unwilling to sell the machine to the Chinese, the Qing people are too smart, a look will be, there is a prototype, other machines are built by themselves.

Fan Dahui officially entered Li Guolou's mansion and became a staff member, he and Li Guolou are fellow villagers, and returned to their hometown with Li Guolou in May, and he was not admitted to the Jinshi, and he was worthy of the title of "lifting people", and now he personally served hot tea, poured tea and handed water to several major shareholders, busier than a maid, and after a busy circle, Fan Dahui sat behind Li Guolou, like him, each major shareholder has a staff member behind him.

Only Bao and his big-bellied wife Yesenia discussed in a low voice, and he didn't need to listen to the staff to explain the records, he had already understood the matter of inviting him into the bank, and he was able to jump into this threshold because of Li Guolou's old boss, with Li Guolou's subordinates, he was very proud, and he always thought of him when he had benefits, and he could also get rich if he stayed in Beijing, which was what he didn't think of when he became the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Please come in to the bank to register the Tianjin British Concession, on the surface it is a private bank, full of funds, and the staffing can not see the nature of the government, but the core essence is still the nature of the collusion between officials and businessmen, and only this kind of enterprise can make money from the beginning, when the Qing Empire keeps up with the progress of history, slowly absorbs things, and also allows a few people to take advantage of it, those children of high-ranking officials, belong to the first part of the people who got rich, industrial plants all over the country are like Li Guolou, there are people with official background, as for state-owned enterprises, It can be summed up as an outcome, and it is necessary to stabilize losses and make no profits, all of which require state financial subsidies, especially the establishment of shipyards and military factories in various places, which can be described as miserable.

Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, did not believe in this evil, and was not accustomed to Li Hongzhang's use of people for personal gain, and also founded a large military industry, during which he founded the Lanzhou Manufacturing Bureau, and later founded the Gansu Weaving Bureau, which was China's first machine textile factory, but the factory never made a profit, this is the end of the government-run enterprise, from which it is not difficult to find that if a small number of people do not get rich, the cause will not succeed, history has come to this turning point, whoever follows the trend first, who will have the initiative.

With the help of family power, Li Guolou took the lead in creating the banking industry, and used the advantages of the private sector to bring Prince Gong Yixun and Zhili Governor Li Hongzhang over, so that he had the opportunity to soar to the sky, relying on his own hands to work hard, then like Hu Xueyan and other ethnic businessmen, without more than ten years of accumulation, it is impossible to become bigger and stronger.

While drinking tea and chatting, eating crispy cookies, Zaiying took a bite of the crispy cookies, took a sip of tea, and asked: "Tanhualang, you said that you invited you to come to the bank to do your own profiteering business at the beginning, but now where is the profiteering business in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

The profiteering industry of the Qing Empire has been occupied by the princes and nobles and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, although others peep through the door, but they are not allowed to enter, such as digging ginseng, mining, private digging ginseng, mining, that is to kill the head, the three provinces in the northeast are the forbidden area of the Manchurians, do not let the Han people flow into the northeast to settle, at this time the three northeastern provinces are still sparsely populated, rich in products, have been aborigines, Manchu people are the main body, so the people only "go to Shandong" and "go to the west" said, there is no "northeast" immigration tide.

Everyone also looked at Li Guolou curiously, but when they saw Li Guolou put down the teacup, they smiled and said: "Lord Belle, since we have been tied together, I will confide a little, called 'hype', I want to let the people in the Tianjin concession be shocked three times a day, lose the bottom, and wait for next June, when we settle the year's income, you will know!" ”

Li Guolou sold it and didn't say it anymore, the so-called people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, such a big business secret, can only be said in the case of God knowing that you know and I know, how can you say it in front of so many people.

"Oh." Zai Ying is so smart that he knows that Li Guolou will not tell him, as for him, "Prince Gong Yixun" is also pretending to be confused, and his subordinates use despicable tricks to make money, pretending to know nothing.

Knowing the conspiracy, Li Jingyi showed a sneer at Li Guolou, using national feelings to play this card, Li Guolou saw through the true meaning of the national complex, and knew when to use those patriotic students, who were treated as monkeys by the government to play those students in the Hanlin Academy and the Gongyuan Academy, and thought that they were fighting at the forefront of national justice, and they were all used as spears after they fell.

Fan Dahui can't help but boil his blood, his blood is swollen, he will welcome a brilliant page in his life, history will also write his name, everything will start from his book of 10,000 words to Li Hongzhang, the people of the whole country will remember the name of "Fan Dahui", he will be a national righteous man.
