c_t; Qiao Zhiyong's face darkened, Zhang Yi was right, if Zhang Yi became the center or governed the Three Norths, it would indeed be able to completely help him change the situation, but now Zhang Yi is only staying in Fengtian, and he can't interfere at will in other places, otherwise, the court will swallow him up in an instant.

Zhang Yi looked at Qiao Zhiyong's gloomy face, smiled slightly, and said: "Old man, in fact, the Qing Dynasty is thousands of miles away, not only Mongolia makes money, but there are places to make money, why hang yourself on a tree?" ”

Qiao Zhiyong sighed: "The general doesn't know, since the ancestors ran Baotou, Fusheng Gong has experienced nearly a hundred years, the roots of the Qiao family are in Mongolia, the ship is difficult to turn around, and now the Qing Dynasty is in chaos, there is no invasion of foreign powers in that province?" If you want to make money, how easy is it? ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Old man, what if I say that my Fengtian will be a fertile ground for Jin merchants to show their skills in the future?" ”

Qiao Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Fengtian? ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "In the next ten years, I think my energy will be in the three provinces outside the Guan, and the three provinces outside the Guanxi will also be inseparable from my guard, within ten years, the three provinces outside the Guanxi will become a real fertile ground for businessmen, where there will be no harsh taxes, there will be no blackmail officials, and some will only be strong support for investment businessmen!" I hope that Mr. you can exert your influence in Shanxi, encourage your peers to invest in Fengtian to build factories or open businesses, I will use my 100,000 male teachers as your backing, as long as you are not a traitor, the king of heaven will not dare to touch you businessmen! ”

Qiao Zhiyong looked shocked and asked, "General Jianzhi, what you said can be counted?" ”

Zhang Yi laughed and said: "Old man, I can't count what I say in this Qing Dynasty at present, but this Fengtian, the three eastern provinces in the future, what I say is heaven!" Without me to speak, even the imperial court, don't want to do whatever you want! I just want to ask the old gentleman to put the focus of development on Mukden, and we will work together to reads;. Where to change the world! ”

Qiao Zhiyong was infected by Zhang Yi's pride and said excitedly: "Good, good! General Jianzhi, even if you were Wen Xianggong back then, you didn't have such courage as you, you are worthy of being a hero of the late Qing generation! By your assurance, I am willing to do what I can. Lobby Jin businessmen to invest in Fengtian for you! ”

Zhang Yi nodded and replied, "That junior also assures you." All Jin businessmen who invest in Fengtian will be exempted from all taxes in the first year, even if I give you a meeting gift! ”

Qiao Zhiyong was full of emotion and sighed: "General Jianzhi, it is a great fortune for the country to have a general in the Qing Dynasty, and a great fortune for the country!" ”

Zhang Yi smiled and waved his hand and said, "Old man." Although I can't help you keep Baotou safe right now, there is another idea that works. ”

Qiao Zhiyong hurriedly asked, "General Jianzhi, do you have any good strategies to teach me?" ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "I can't talk about good policies, I want to ask you, in Baotou, can you organize five hundred strong guys or bodyguards to have a sense of belonging to Fusheng Gong?" ”

Qiao Zhiyong smiled smugly. replied: "Don't dare to say anything else, organize such a group of people, don't say five hundred, even if you want a thousand people, the old decay can be gathered in the shortest possible time!" ”

Zhang Yi clapped his hands and said, "That's fine." In order to ensure the safety of the old man's business, and also to protect the business from unnecessary losses, I plan to send 50 elite people to Baotou to train a strong security team for you. With elite security teams and sophisticated weapons, see what other robbers dare to touch your old man's Fusheng Gong! ”

Qiao Zhiyong was full of emotion, this Zhang Yi was really for his own sake, and he even had to train a group of elite security teams for himself, with such an elite, what should he worry about?

Qiao Zhiyong bowed to the ground and thanked: "Thank you for the great kindness of General Jianzhi, if the general is sent in the future, the old man will never give up!" ”

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said: "Old man, in addition to protecting Fusheng Gong, this security group also hopes that you will use it to protect all the Jin merchants, the Jin merchants in the world are all born from the same root, don't divide each other, you businessmen are the foundation of the country, I only hope that when there is a strong invasion in the future, all the Jin merchants can also help me, help the country defend the country, and not fall behind!" ”

Qiao Zhiyong said firmly: "General Jianzhi, of course we Jin merchants understand this truth, and if the skin does not have hair, it will be attached!" When the Japanese Xianggong conquered the west, it was difficult to raise military rations, wasn't it also our Jin merchants who could bear it? We know this. ”

Zhang Yi continued: "Old gentleman, in fact, in addition to admiring the old gentleman's Dadefeng and Dadetong, I still have a trace of anxiety. ”

Qiao Zhiyong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does General Jianzhi mean by this?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Mr., now Dadefeng and Dadetong are second to none in the domestic ticket number, with strong financial resources, but compared with the banks of Western powers, one is far from enough, and the other is relatively backward in management. Mr. Lao, today's era has become the era of Western capital, you always need to open your eyes to the world, and prepare for the future competition with Western banks, otherwise, after 20 years, Fusheng Gong will definitely prosper and decline, step by step towards decline! ”

Qiao Zhiyong was shocked in his heart and asked, "General Jianzhi, is it really as serious as you said?" ”

Zhang Yi said solemnly: "Sir, to give you a simple example, in this Sino-Japanese war, the British HSBC Bank borrowed 30 million pounds like Japan in one go, which is equivalent to no less than 60 million taels of silver, such courage and financial resources, but can Fusheng Gong do it?" ”

Qiao Zhiyong was really shocked, sixty million taels! Now all the assets of Dadefeng and Dadetong are less than this amount, and HSBC can take out so much in one go, which is ...... What kind of strength is this! I'm afraid that all the Jin merchants are tied together, and it will be difficult to raise so much silver!

Qiao Zhiyong swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty and asked: "General Jianzhi, I have heard for a long time that you have traveled to Western countries and are quite proficient in Western customs, according to your opinion, how should we deal with it!" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Master Yi's long skills to control Yi!" Mr., I suggest that you send the descendants of Fusheng Gong and the management elite to study in Europe and the United States, learn modern business methods, and prepare for future competition; At the same time, I suggest that you set up the first real bank in Daqing! As for talents, we can also help you find them on your behalf. ”

Qiao Zhiyong took a deep breath and said: "To set up a bank, this old man has this idea, but one is that the imperial court has restrictions, and the other is that there is no official support, and the old man is always worried that he will give up halfway." ”

Zhang Yi replied: "In that case, old man, I am willing to use Fengtianfu to invest in the bank you set up, and I am willing to contribute capital together, and share the ups and downs!"
