Liu Yun has been in Hankou for so long, or the first time to have such a free time, usually not to the arsenal, or to go on an adventure, often after dark to go back to Kong's villa, this opportunity is just right, everyone will not go back to the villa at noon, first eat outside casually, by the way and then walk around.

The two eldest ladies seem to have already stepped all over Hankou, and soon on Jianghan Road, they found a century-old brand, Wangxian Building, the signature dish is "Wuchang Fish", four people just have a pot, and they casually ordered two or three seasonal side dishes, Pang Taishi also opened a bottle of Hunan rice wine, and poured a glass for Liu Yun, and the uncle and nephew happened to brew slowly, really happy like a fairy.

In order to celebrate the success of the pharmaceutical, Pang Yuyan and Kong Yuling also poured themselves a glass, Liu Yun has no concept of drinking, anyway, he also drinks liquor, rice wine, wine, and rice wine is like a drink, so he didn't interfere with the two eldest ladies to drink, just asked them to drink less, and the two girls were obedient, drank one or two glasses, and then didn't drink again.

The focus is still to eat vegetables, especially the great man once said, "only drink Changsha water, and eat Wuchang fish", someone has long been itchy, a taste is really different, the freshwater fish of the Yangtze River, fresh and delicious, smooth and sweet, with Hubei's unique chopped pepper, and the green pepper produced by the Three Gorges, a moment spicy and moderate, the taste is thousands, especially suitable for Liu Yun, Pang father and daughter of the Sichuan taste, even Kong Yuling, a northerner, also like this unique delicacy.

The window of the private room is facing the Yangtze River, a group of four people rice wine is drunk, full of spirit, just in the October of Hankou, the weather is neither hot nor cold, it is the autumn high and refreshing, everyone is also a moment of appetite, eating sweaty, touching the round belly, and still unfinished.

Everyone saw that the scenery of this restaurant was good, and after lunch, they were not in a hurry to leave, and drank tea on it for a while, and the two eldest ladies just squinted for a while, but Pang Taishi seemed to want to speak and stopped, Liu Yun did not urge, slowly tasted tea, and waited for Taishi to think about it.

Master Pang touched his beard before he asked softly, "Yicheng Xian, I don't know what your relationship is with Major General Qin Guodong, I see that you are too casual with him."

Liu Yun pondered slightly, and then said slowly, "He is my instructor during military training in Nanjing, strictly speaking, I should still call him a teacher, but I and him, both Principal Jiang's protégé and the main person in charge of this mission, he is responsible for the coordination of the Hanyang Arsenal, and I am responsible for making the engine, so it is a grasshopper on a rope."

Master Pang looked suddenly enlightened, and smiled slightly, "Will he continue to be in the Hanyang Arsenal from now on, and what about you, what are your plans in the future?"

Liu Yun frowned slightly, he really hadn't thought about this question carefully, his heart moved, and he hugged his fists and asked the old lady for advice, "The little nephew is upset, and I ask Uncle Pang for advice."

Master Pang Taishi looked like a child who could be taught, so he whispered, "You can't stay here for a long time, you must return to western Sichuan as soon as possible, this person in Qinguodong is a rough person on the surface, but a fine person in his bones, so he wants to take advantage of the fact that everyone has not paid attention to western Sichuan, and turn western Sichuan into an iron bucket, and in the future it will be a big rear area that can be attacked, retreated, and defended."

In the rear, it was really a word to wake up the dreamer, this Master Pang Taishi is really a qualified master, Liu Yun decided to test it again, touched his head, and suddenly thought of something, "In Uncle Pang's opinion, how about transporting the steelmaking equipment to western Sichuan."

Pang Taishi was also stunned, and after a little silence for a while, he said with some embarrassment, "Of course it is the best, with this equipment in hand, the virtuous nephew can negotiate with the Liu family in Sichuan, the Liu family in Xikang, and the old Jiang in Nanjing, but this batch of equipment, after all, was bought by the arsenal itself, where will it be cheaper for others, if you raise money yourself, you can't do it in the short term."

Liu Yun smiled a little wryly, and decided to reveal the inside story of this transaction, "Uncle Pang doesn't know, this batch of equipment is actually a batch of black goods, according to the actual value, it will cost about 20 million silver dollars, which is the price of human favors, and it will cost 3 million silver dollars."

"However, before leaving, Qin Guodong also handed over a bottom, and he had a full dozen, and it was only 300,000 silver dollars, and it was difficult for me to do it."

When Taishi Pang first heard the inside story, he was also surprised, thought about it carefully, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Nephew Xian, you let foreigners go to Yang Gefei's church, could it be that you want to use the formulas of two special drugs in exchange for their steelmaking equipment."

Liu Yun couldn't help sneering before telling the truth, "The formula is the chicken that lays golden eggs, how can it be cheap for them, I plan to exchange the finished products of the two special drugs for their equipment, and let them secretly help to open up sales channels in the European and American markets."

"Ah", Taishi Pang really couldn't imagine how many medicines it would take to sell for three million silver dollars, "Virtuous nephew, will they agree, it's too late in time."

Liu Yun smiled slightly, a little proud, and whispered, "Originally, I wasn't sure, but I didn't expect that Yu Yan and Yuling did so well that they caused such a big sensation, and the effect of the drug was also unexpected.

Thinking of Lu Liu and Smith staying in the church, Taishi Pang also smiled knowingly, and gave Liu Yan a cup of tea to congratulate, just about to talk about other things, I didn't want someone to suddenly stiffen, and looked at the pedestrians on the side of the road downstairs, Taishi hurriedly followed, but only saw pedestrians coming and going, it didn't seem to be anything abnormal, and asked "what's going on" with some wondering.

Liu Yun was a little depressed, and he didn't know how to answer Taishi Pang's inquiry, so he had to explain slightly, "Little nephew, maybe he was dazzled, and he saw an old friend in a trance, and he was waiting to look more carefully, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye, this person is still an old acquaintance when he was studying abroad."

This is not surprising, Lu Liu and Smith, aren't they also someone in the United States, Pang Taishi didn't say anything, and was about to wake up the two eldest ladies to go home, when the guy from Wangxian Tower came up and respectfully handed over a letter.

The surface of the envelope is as neat as new, and there is no marking, no need to look at the contents inside, Liu Yun has faintly guessed a few points, looking at the two eldest ladies who are gradually waking up, he can't help but hesitate, and finally decided to open it.

After reading it, Master Pang knew it after a little thought, and saw that Liu Yun didn't seem to have figured it out for a long time, so he used the cover of drinking tea to mention it slightly, "This friend of yours, I hope you will come here again at dusk, he wants to meet you."

Thinking of someone's elf eccentricity, most of them are really like this, Liu Yun smiled a little bitterly, and knew that he couldn't say it anymore, so he put away the letter paper, asked the guy to send a basin of hot water, and asked the two eldest ladies to wash their faces, clean up neatly, and the group went home first.

As soon as they got off the car at the villa, the two eldest ladies were very excited, holding hands and walking while saying, Liu Yun and Pang Taishi had to follow behind, but as soon as they entered the living room, they found that there was an uninvited guest waiting for everyone, Kong Yuling saw this person, and shouted in surprise, "Daddy".

It turned out to be Nanjing's Minister of Finance Kong Caishen, much to Liu Yun's surprise, didn't this person already take a group to the United States, how could he appear here, after all, in the old Kong's house to eat and live, everyone did not dare to slack off, immediately prepared to go over to say hello, Kong Yuling had already run over to ask for warmth, others had no chance to get close.

When everyone was embarrassed, Kong Caishen patted Kong Yuling slightly, and the eldest lady didn't speak well-behaved, and then looked at the rest of the people with a smile, and apologized repeatedly, "You're welcome, please sit down, the old man is an uninvited guest."

After everyone sat down, Kong Caishen smiled before speaking, stared at Liu Yun and said, "Say, you little skin monkey, what kind of trouble did you get into again, you actually let the old man's baby daughter send three telegrams in a row, urging the old man to come to Wuhan."

"Ah", everyone immediately looked at Miss Kong, Kong Yuling was a little embarrassed, it seemed that for a while, she couldn't find any good words, she glanced at someone slightly, and hurriedly fiddled with her clothes, probably thinking about how to find excuses.

Liu Yun suddenly remembered something, before he went to Turtle Mountain to explore, he told Kong Yuling, if he did not return within the time limit, he immediately notified Kong Caishen, and then returned to the villa in time, and he didn't take it to heart, now it seems that the eldest lady is probably the next day, she sent a telegram to her father, and one is three letters, calculate the time, Lao Kong came to Hankou from Nanjing, and it was not an ordinary passenger ship, either a warship or an airplane.

didn't say it, since the eldest lady is so righteous, then the other problems will be solved by herself, Liu Yun hurriedly laughed, and explained in a low voice, "Uncle Kong, it's all the little nephew's fault, it was the little nephew who asked Yuling to make trouble for Uncle Shi, but the little nephew does have a big deal and needs Uncle Shi's help, if there is any offense, please don't be surprised."

Kong Caishen paused for a momentary scepter, and said with a smile, "It's said that a son-in-law is half a son, or not, just talk about it, if you can do it, the old man will never shirk, just remember a little in the future, don't move a little thing, you will die or live, the Kong family is also a famous family, and it looks too panicked, it is too undignified, and the old man is also very busy in Nanjing."

Liu Yun also knew that Kong Caishen had misunderstood, and he didn't bother to explain, so he only handed over the sales list of Lu Liu and Smith, and the rest of the people knew that the two sons-in-law had something important to discuss, so they all left lightly, preparing to go back to their rooms to rest first.

Kong Caishen took out his reading glasses, flipped through the information slightly, glanced at someone meaningfully, snorted coldly, and asked Liu Yun and Kong Yuling to go to the study with him.

As soon as she entered the study, Kong Yuling poured water with all hands and feet, arranged seats, and was a full-time housewife, and only after everything was done, she winked at Liu Yun, telling him not to be afraid, everything was with her, and then closed the door and stood guard outside the door in case anyone disturbed.

Kong Caishen took a few sips of tea, raised the list, and asked with a smile, "Yicheng, what do you say you are doing, what, you can't do it anymore, you are going to change your career to become a comprador, let's talk about it, how many kickbacks will you give you for this business."

Rebate, your sister, Liu Yun was a little angry, is my brother the one who took the kickback, and he looked down on people too much, when he thought of Kong Yuling's embarrassed expression, he suddenly looked like a deflated ball, so he had to bow his head and drink tea, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and explained to Kong Caishen.

"Uncle Shi, no matter how dull the little nephew is, he also knows that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, when he is a comprador, I really can't be a comprador job, this person who sells equipment, and the little nephew is just a nodding friend, this business is not to help others pull the line, but the little nephew wants to buy it."
