Chapter 87: Adventure

After Yan Jiakang left Qiujiazhuang, Yu two guards sat on the train in Pingdu. Originally www.biquge.info they bought hard-seat tickets, but coincidentally, a couple temporarily decided to get off in Pingdu, and Yan Jiakang reissued a ticket for the box on the car. The box usually accommodated two people, and at that time there was a requirement for one more person to stay in the box, so the two guards had to stay in the hard-seat car. Yan Jiakang and the stranger entered the box almost with their feet in front of their feet. The stranger in front of him is about 30 years old, and his thin skin and tender meat look like a rich son.

Yan Jiakang nodded politely, as a greeting. But he didn't expect the guest's eyes to stare directly at him, which seemed incomprehensible. "Sir, what's wrong with the contemptible person, is it indecent?" "Please forgive me, sir, forgive me for being reckless, but it is Ge Yunfei, the commander of Zhoucun County?" "Mr. has good eyesight, I can't hide it, this official is Ge Yunfei, the commander of Zhoucun County!" "In Xia Sheng Pingchen, I have seen the portrait of an adult in the newspaper, and I met Master Ge." The other party clasped his fists in salute. Yan Jiakang was shocked when he heard this, and a familiar name appeared in his mind.

In fact, Sheng Pingchen's name is not known even in modern times. But Yan Jiakang is a prospective fan and has studied the history of football development in China. In the thirties, there was a football team in Shanghai that dominated East Asia - Donghua Football Team. The Tung Wah football team was named Shanghai Beach at the time and had a glorious history in the 30s. In 1933, the football team went on an expedition to the Philippines and won six games, won five and drew one. In 1934, he participated in the Shanghai Federation Cup, and four of the five main indicators were included.

From 1935 to 1936, the Tung Wah team participated in the Scotto Cup, played against foreigners, and won two consecutive championships. The rise of the Donghua football team is known as the golden age in the history of Shanghai football and has become an important football town in the Far East. But what few people know is that the owner of the Donghua football team is the little-known Sheng Pingchen. This person is Sheng Xuanhuai's seventh son, if it weren't for the illustrious football team under his command, even if he was Sheng Xuanhuai's son, I'm afraid no one would know.

For Sheng Xuanhuai, the leader of China's modern industry, Yan Jiakang is naturally familiar with it. Sheng Xuanhuai has a prominent reputation, as a pioneer of the Qing Dynasty industry, and has made remarkable achievements. But his son was not angry. The eldest and second and third are all big smokers, wine bags and rice bags. The fourth is a gambler who spends money like dirt, and it has been recorded that the fourth child spends money like running water, and there is a "heroic act" of losing the entire alley overnight. The sixth and eighth broke early, and only the seventh Sheng Pingchen had some success and inherited Sheng Xuanhuai's mantle.

In fact, Yan Jiakang only knows two things about Sheng Pingchen, one is that he is Sheng Xuanhuai's son, and the other is the Donghua football team under his command, both of which are indispensable, otherwise it is impossible for Yan Jiakang to remember his name. In fact, Sheng Pingchen's development trajectory is still good, Yan Jiakang is not clear about this, so he might as well explain it here. Sheng Pingchen is the seventh oldest in the family, which is his weakness. He used his sister's relationship to become the core figure of the "Mansion School" headed by Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen, which shows that he is scheming. Because Sheng Pingchen is low-key, he is not visible, and he is little known.

Speaking of the origin of the Sheng and Song families, it is said that it originated from Ni Guizhen, the old lady of the Song family (Song Ziwen includes the biological mother of the three sisters of the Song family), who was an adoptive mother in the Sheng family in her early years and formed an intimate relationship. Therefore, Song Ailing was able to serve as the tutor of the Sheng family, and Song Ziwen was able to enter the Hanyeping company as an English secretary, and was the most reluctant to love the poor and the seventh miss of the Sheng family. After the Republic of China, the Sheng family was like a frightened bird, and the Song family was like the sky, Sheng Pingchen knew the changes of the world, so he became a frequent visitor to the Confucian Mansion.

Sheng Pingchen, under the support of Kong Xiangxi and Song Ailing, once did a great job. Before the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the director of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui Unified Taxation Bureau, and was in charge of the tax power in the south of the Yangtze River. During the Anti-Japanese War, he came to Chongqing to concentrate on business, and worked in the official financial street, serving as the chairman of Huafu Silt Company, and the Huafu brand cigarettes produced were sold all over the world. Later, Sheng Pingchen presided over the Huasheng Company, the Continental Transportation Company and the Kunming Dianli Steel Mill. When Yu Hongjun was the Minister of Finance of the Republic of China, he also served as a permanent director and chairman of the board of supervisors of the Central Trust Bureau.

Sheng Pingchen's main task in the Confucian Mansion in his early years was to plan a way to make money for Song Ailing. He set up a CITIC Economic Research Institute to collect economic and financial intelligence and provide a basis for Kong Xiangxi's fiscal policy. He himself has worked very hard, and there is one example that illustrates the problem. Before the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government required Yunnan to pay the zinc mine tax, and at that time, Wang Longyun of Yunnan "resisted the decree and did not respect it", and sent people to deal with it several times without success. Later, he was sent and did it in one fell swoop.

It turned out that before Long Yun became a climate, he once went to Nanjing on a business trip, and no one paid attention to him. Sheng Pingchen took the initiative to make friends with him and warmly invited him to dinner, and Long Yun cared about him very much after that. Through this incident, it can be seen that Sheng Pingchen inherited his father's businessman's mind and made good connections, maybe when he could be rewarded, and it also showed that he was a man of temperament and was not mean and kind. However, in his later years, due to repeated business failures, he was once poor.

Yan Jiakang confirmed that this person was Sheng Huaixuan's seventh son, and he was overjoyed in his heart, could it be that this was the will of heaven? "Master Ge, is there a suspicion of disrespect?" Sheng Pingchen saw that he was in a trance, and couldn't help but be a little confused. "Sheng Gongzi I'm sorry, I didn't think that you were the seventh son of Sheng Daren, disrespectful! Disrespectful, son, is this going to Qingdao? "Lord Ge, I can't hide it, I am on the order of my father, I went to Zhou Village to meet my lord, and by the way, I inspected the textile factories and entities in Zhou Village."

"By chance, the adults didn't go out on business in Zhou Village, and I didn't expect to meet here, this is providence!" "Sheng Gongzi, it is indeed the will of God, why don't we drink and talk happily!" As he spoke, Yan Jiakang took out wine and ate food: "Master Sheng, Lord Lingzun, is a doer of the Qing Dynasty, and his achievements are enough to leave a name in history. The first private joint-stock China Merchants Bureau, the first telegraph office, the first inland river small steamer company, the first bank, the first railway Jinghan Railway. “

"I didn't expect that Lord Ge knew so much about his father, maybe he had a good heart, and his father also respected the adult, saying that the industry of Zhoucun was completely created by the adult, and that the adult, as an official of the imperial court, helped the merchant so much, this is the descendant of China, and his future achievements will inevitably surpass his father." "Lord Lingzun has an overreputation, and the lower officials are just doing their duty. Lord Ling Zun is a model of a red-capped businessman, and we cannot compare with him. “

"Lord Ge, I have a major mission this time?" can meet Sheng Pingchen, and then you can get to know Sheng Xuanhuai. Although the timing is not too good, it will definitely be profitable in the future. If Sheng Xuanhuai passes away in the future and secretly helps Sheng Pingchen to take charge of the family industry, he will definitely be able to bring great dividends to himself. "What is the major mission, let's listen to it, if you can help in the future, you will serve the liver and brain." "My father really didn't misunderstand the adult, I can't hide it, my father said that the current railway is developing, and the opportunity should not be missed."

"My father said that there will be more and more railways in the future, and that 20 years ago the Chinese were able to build the Dragon locomotive, why are they still buying foreigners' locomotives? My father said that the British had a lot of restrictions on our locomotive factories, while the Germans were better off discussing this with the British for their interests in China. In view of the good relationship between the adults and the Germans, my father planned to ask the adults to work with the Germans to prepare for the establishment of a joint-stock locomotive factory in Qingdao. I heard in Zhoucun County that adults may have gone to Qingdao, so I went to Qingdao to try my luck and take a look by the way. ”

"Master Ge, I didn't expect a coincidence, I waited for a chance on the train. This is a letter from my father to you, please take a look! Sheng Pingchen took out a letter from the package and presented it. Yan Jiakang was shocked after reading the letter, now Sheng Xuanhuai is integrating Hanyeping Iron Works, why suddenly he wants to build a locomotive factory in Qingdao, it is a little unbelievable. "Master Ge, my father has been paying attention to the economic development of Zhoucun in recent years, especially the spinning, printing and dyeing of Zhoucun, whose quality is high and is not inferior to that of the British textile industry."

"My father asserted that in the future, the textiles, printing and dyeing cloths of Zhou Village will occupy half of the rivers and mountains of China, and all of this is inseparable from the political achievements of Lord Ge." Sheng Pingchen chattered and beat the side drum. Yan Jiakang carefully read the content of the letter again, and secretly thought: Sheng Huaixuan did not mention the factory in the letter, but was full of praise, and the end of the letter was just an understatement, asking the dog to go to investigate, hoping to help. Yan Jiakang knew that this was testing him, but from another angle, it showed that Sheng Xuanhuai did have this intention.

There is no doubt that it was the butterfly effect in Zhoucun and even Shandong that played a role, which then made the keen Sheng Xuanhuai see business opportunities. In addition, the cunning Sheng Xuanhuai knew that he had a close relationship with the Germans, and he was trying to get a loan through his own foreign bank in Germany, and it was obvious that he also saw the clues of the Germans competing for the Chinese market with the British, so he took advantage of the situation. Yan Jiakang secretly made up his mind and said: Sheng Gongzi, Lord Ling Zun is the father of Chinese industry, and now he is the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications of the Imperial Cabinet. “

"In the next shame, Lord Lingzun's measures are your contribution to the present and the benefit of the future, and you will help you in the future, I don't know if Lord Lingzun is?" "Lord Ge, my father is in a high position and it is inconvenient to come out, my father decided to let the younger generation experience, and repeatedly asked me to obey Lord Ge's arrangement." Yan Jiakang was secretly surprised when he heard this: "Lord Ling Zun trusts the lower officials so much, this is also unreasonable, please ask Master Sheng to speak up." Sheng Pingchen said with a smile: "Lord Ge, it's not a secret, now Lord Wu (Wu Tingbin) is the governor of Zhili, and his father has a close relationship with Lord Wu. ”

"Lord Wu has great respect for Lord Ge, saying that what the imperial court can't do, the lord will easily handle. Before leaving, my father told my younger generation that the adults must follow their words. Yan Jiakang suddenly realized, it was obvious that Sheng Xuanhuai was using himself. There is no doubt that Sheng Xuanhuai's three words are golden signboards, and he wants to use China Merchants as collateral to allow him to mediate loans from the Germans. Given the sheer strength of the Sheng Group, the Germans would not hesitate to agree to the loan. In addition, Sheng Xuanhuai can use China Merchants to raise funds and build factories without bloodshed.

The conditions are there and the opportunity is rare, this is completely a matter of thinking and then acting, which shows that Sheng Xuanhuai has already begun to pay attention to himself. It is no wonder that a generation of businessmen and Taidou Hu Xueyan were defeated in his hands, and he was really scheming. Even if he figured out that he was being used by others, Yan Jiayasu was secretly happy, who could laugh and say that the winner was the one in the end, why not use each other, he had a new idea.
