—————— Xia Jun soon drove to Shanghai in an armored car, at this time Shanghai was firmly controlled by Xia Jun, the police department had begun to maintain law and order in Shanghai, and the Fifth Mixed Brigade had already stationed a battalion in Shanghai in advance.

This rich land, which claimed to be enough to feed four divisions by selling opium alone, was already under Xia Jun's control, and of course the lease was not under his control, it was the territory of the great powers.

When Xia Jun came to Shanghai, he immediately entered the police station, and the police chief Ma Hongye hurriedly came out to greet him and entered the police station, Xia Jun directly asked Ma Hongye to take him to see Li Yizhi.

Li Yizhi originally agreed to let him go after explaining at the police station, but the police chief didn't let him go after making a phone call, and he couldn't help but be very depressed.

At this moment, he saw the police chief hurriedly walking in with a young man, who was wearing a black trench coat and looked very powerful.

"Chairman, this is Li Yizhi, who has just returned from Germany." Ma Hongye introduced, and then said to Li Yizhi: "This is Chairman Xia, the supreme head of our East China Provisional Political Axe. ”

Xia Jun stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Yizhi enthusiastically, only to see him say: "Just now Director Ma called to report that Brother Li is concerned about water conservancy and is an expert in water conservancy. ”

"Where, where." Li Yizhi's expression was a little unnatural, obviously not very good at clichés, Xia Jun didn't care, and enthusiastically gestured to him: "Sit, let's sit down and talk, Director Ma, go to tea." ”

"Yes." Ma Hongye became a temporary servant and hurriedly ran to serve tea.

The two sat down, and Xia Jun first had to talk to Li Yizhi! Although Xia Jun doesn't know what it is, if he wants people to join the Baath Party, he naturally has to do ideological work.

"Brother Li, looking around the land of China, floods and droughts occur every year, and sometimes they occur frequently, and the reason for this is water conservancy problems. Since the establishment of the East China Provisional Political Axe, I have wanted to repair the water conservancy many times, but there are no professionals, which is really depressing! Xia Jun said and smiled at him: "Director Ma called me just now to report that Brother Li is a water conservancy expert, so he asked him to leave you, Brother Li is not strange." ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Yizhi hurriedly said, Xia Jun is so soft-spoken, no matter how angry he is, he will disappear, and besides, people value him!

"Few of our temporary political axes in East China are proficient in water conservancy, and we are not professionals, so we are not very proficient in this, but there are floods in East China every year, and it is a great blessing to see Brother Li. I wonder what Brother Li thinks about the current water conservancy in China? Xia Jun asked Li Yizhi, thinking, first find a common language to resonate first, and then say, no matter what Li Yizhi says for a while, it would be good to flatter yourself.

Li Yizhi said: "There are no stubborn floods in East China, so water conservancy is not difficult to repair, it is nothing more than building flood control dams, reservoirs, and urban drainage to prevent floods." However, when building a reservoir, it should be considered for irrigation, shipping, and at the same time to generate electricity......"

Li Yizhi said, Xia Jun listened very carefully, and praised Li Yizhi from time to time, people who don't know how to listen to other people's ideals and achievements sometimes find it difficult to make friends with others, and even difficult to integrate into a group.

As he spoke, Li Yizhi talked about the Yellow River, and when it came to controlling the Yellow River, Li Yizhi gushed endlessly, "The Yellow River focuses on sand control, and the source of sand is the plateau on both sides of Shaanxi and Shanxi, and as long as it rains, it will bring sediment into the river, and the steeper and steeper the sediment on both banks, the more sediment there is, because of the imitation of the United States' sand control methods, build embankments on both sides of the bank to hold back the sand, and it is best to fill in those ravines......

Isn't this very similar to the Yellow River sand control project on the exchange platform? Xia Jun thought to himself, and when he paused, Xia Jun nodded and said: "Brother Yizhi (Li Yizhi's words) is reasonable, I don't know if Brother Yizhi is hungry, let's eat something first, and talk while eating." ”

"Okay." Li Yizhi also felt that the reader was hungry, Xia Jun asked Zhou Shunze to get canned food, he never ate outside except for an accident in the barracks, the world is sinister, who knows if he will be poisoned. Of course, in general, no, but it is not guaranteed that there are no special circumstances.

Li Yizhi took the opened canned food and asked strangely: "Is there any beef in this Taohua can?" ”

"Yes, it is generally supplied to the barracks and the administrative department, and some are sold outside, but there is no export." Xia Jun said with a smile, Li Yizhi said with a smile: "When I was studying in Germany, I saw that there were Taohua canned food sold in shopping malls, but only chicken. ”

"Brother Yizhi, what are your plans for the future?" Xia Jun asked, and then tentatively: "It's better to take up a temporary political axe in East China and take charge of water conservancy matters." ”

"This ...... I want to go back to Shaanxi. Li Yizhi hesitated and said, Xia Jun shook his head and said: "Now the world is so chaotic, how can you display your talents when you go back to Shaanxi, and although our temporary political axe in East China is only limited to East China, from next year, we will allocate 10 million yuan from the treasury every year to govern the Yellow River. ”

10 million yuan to govern the Yellow River, Xia Jun in order to keep Li Yizhi, it can be said that he has invested enough money, this is nothing, anyway, the Yellow River will be governed sooner or later, and Xia Jun can get 20 million yuan.

After the current stage of the most scarce money, money will not be a problem. He knew that Li Yizhi wanted to return to Shaanxi for construction, and his greater ideal was to control the Yellow River, so Xia Jun thought that the lethality of this price was absolutely huge.

Li Yizhi was really excited and asked, "Is this flower really serious, chairman?" ”

"Of course, if there is a good financial situation, we will increase the allocation." Xia Jun took advantage of the victory to pursue, and immediately smashed Li Yizhi into a daze, and immediately agreed: "Then I will stay here and serve." ”

"Okay." Xia Jun was overjoyed and said: "I will ask the Administration Department to send you a letter of appointment in a while, and in the future, Brother Yizhi will be the Minister of Water Resources of our East China Temporary Political Axe, and in addition, we will add a water conservancy college in East China University to cultivate water conservancy talents, and Brother Yizhi will serve as the dean!" ”

"The chairman of the committee is heavy, and he should be ashamed." Li Yizhi hurriedly said.

…… Xia Jun and Li Yizhi came out of the police station, Xia Jun immediately asked the guards to drive Li Yizhi to Hangzhou, and the police called You Zhengbin and asked him to prepare the letter of appointment.

Watching Li Yizhi get in the car and go to Hangzhou, Xia Jun entered the Shanghai Public Concession, and he was going to visit someone. Over there is Zhu Baosan, president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

It seems that Zhu Baosan is not the president of the Chamber of Commerce now, but in two years, this person has the best reputation in Shanghai, and his reputation is also big, which can be described as a golden sign in Shanghai.

Zhu Baosan's rise can be described as a legend, he is a native of Ningbo, but when Zhu Baosan was 13 years old, he suddenly encountered a thunderbolt on a sunny day: his father was seriously ill, and he said that the long-term search for medical medicine made the family more difficult. For several years, his mother Fang had no choice but to entrust others.

The underage Zhu Baosan went to Shanghai to join relatives, and later worked as an apprentice in a hardware store in Shanghai, and when he was bitter, he became a good brother with Yuan Shuxun, who was the future Su Song Taidao, Jiangsu according to the inspector, Shuntian Mansion Yin, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Shandong Governor, and the governor of Liangguang.

During his apprenticeship, the shrewd Zhu Baosan saw that Shanghai was a ten-mile foreign market, with a mix of Chinese and foreign countries, and that foreign companies were very powerful, and if he knew a few words of "pidgin" English, it would be very beneficial to do business with foreigners. So, he came up with the idea of learning English, but last year, he had to pay 3 yuan a month for tutoring English, and his meager monthly money alone was not enough. With a strong desire for knowledge, he found that the monthly money was used as "tuition" for the apprentice, and indirectly learned some English from the apprentice.

Zhu Baosan worked diligently in the store during the day and studied hard at night. In addition to English, students also study Chinese, abacus, bookkeeping, business rulers and other related business knowledge. He was eager to learn and tireless, and was praised by the shopkeeper for being "diligent, simple, and sincere, and extraordinary". Learning professional knowledge, constantly "charging" and "inhaling oxygen" have become the first link in the logical chain of the success of this apprentice from Dinghai.

Later, the general checkroom of Xieji Food and Hardware Store died, and the owner and manager made an exceptional decision to let Zhu Baosan, who was only 17 years old, serve as the general bookkeeper and sales director. Three years later, the store manager died of illness, and Zhu Baosan, who was favored by the store owner, succeeded him as manager. In just 7 years, an apprentice was promoted to general bookkeeper, sales director and manager, although it is the owner's appreciation of him, but it is undeniable that it is also closely related to his hard work, frugal life, hard study and mastery of business management knowledge.

During his tenure at the helm of "Xieji", Zhu Baosan was dedicated and diligent, made considerable profits, and received a lot of dividends and additional remuneration. Soon after, "Hip Kee" closed its doors due to the death of the owner. In 1878, Zhu Baosan used the money he had accumulated as capital to open the "Shenyu Hardware Store" specializing in large hardware in the Xinkaihe area of Shanghai.

At this point, Zhu Baosan jumped from an apprentice to a shopkeeper, and at the age of 30, he became a capitalist in Shanghai's hardware industry, which was purely rare at that time, and it was also a major turning point in his life.

Later, Zhu Baosan received help from a fellow countryman, that is, Ye Chengxin, a famous entrepreneur in Shanghai in the late Qing Dynasty.

This person is a native of Zhenhai, Zhejiang, came to Shanghai at the age of 14, and then met the "Taipan" of Mobil Foreign Company by chance, and since then, he has been on the rise, opening Lao Shun Kee hardware store, distributing Mobil gasoline, and accumulating huge capital.

Ye Chengcheng is 8 years older than Zhu Bao, and "Lao Shun Ji" opened 16 years earlier than "Shenyu". In his association with Ye, Zhu Baosan gained inspiration from his development track. Under Ye's advice and support, Zhu Baosan moved "Shenyu" from Xinkaihe to No. 13 Sima Road {now Fuzhou Road} in the downtown commercial area, which was one of Ye's real estate. The style and scale of the new "Shenyu suddenly changed, and Zhu Baosan's identity and fame also rose. After that, Zhu Baosan's business scope gradually expanded, and he became a giant dignitary in Shencheng, and the process of his rise was very similar to Ye Chengcheng's.

Later, Zhu Baosan's sworn friend Yuan Shuxun became Su Song Taidao, and the Gengzi indemnity happened to be in the hands of this person, and the Gengzi indemnity did not arrive at once, but part of it went to him, Yuan Shuxun, who became Su Song Taidao, obviously didn't understand what it meant to borrow, and under Zhu Baosan's prompt, Yuan Shuxun handed over the Gengzi indemnity to Zhu Baosan to lend to those money banks in order to seek interest.

Zhu Baosan's extensive network has developed in this way, because of the focus on credit, Zhu Baosan's fame is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and those foreigners are looking for compradors, and they are also looking for him.

Zhu Baosan has a strange temper when he is a comprador for foreigners, that is, he never speaks English, but asks foreigners to ask for a translator, and Zhu Baosan's bullish spirit soon spread all over Shanghai, so that he became more famous.

It is Zhu Baosan's absolute good credit that has become the most popular guarantor, as long as there is Zhu Baosan's guarantee, the bank and the money bank are absolutely easy to talk to.

Ningbo people who came to Shanghai all asked Zhu Baosan as a guarantee, for which Zhu Baosan had to pay a lot of compensation every year, and later those Ningbo people set up an organization, which paid for it, and Zhu Baosan did not have to pay for everything for the Ningbo people.

Ningbo Merchant Gang, this is one of the top ten merchant gangs in China, Zhu Baosan has obviously become the golden sign of Ningbo Merchant Gang, with his existence, so that Ningbo people can smoothly get business funds, or some other conveniences.

As soon as Xia Jun arrived at the loan, he soon saw Zhu Baosan who was waiting on the side of the road to greet him, Zhu Baosan did not dare to slack off after receiving the greeting post sent to him by Xia Jun, and hurriedly prepared in advance.

As a businessman, Zhu Baosan knows what the benefits of having a relationship with the political axe are, and he also understands what the terrible consequences of offending the temporary political axe in East China will be, Chen Qimei was arrested by hiding in the lease, don't think that hiding in the lease will be safe and sound.

Xia Jun got out of the car, and then shook hands with Zhu Baosan, Zhu Baosan was obviously surprised to see Xia Jun so young, and then under Zhu Baosan's greeting, Xia Jun entered Zhu Baosan's house.

At Zhu Baosan's house, Xia Jun explained his intentions, and Zhu Baosan saw that Xia Jun wanted him to take out a guarantee loan, and asked, "How much does the chairman want to borrow?" ”

"As much as you want." Xia Jun said indifferently.

"That's ...... exactly"

"One hundred million taels!" Xia Jun said after thinking for a moment.

100 million taels is 50 million US dollars, Zhu Baosan squirted out the tea with a pop, felt a little out of shape, and hurriedly wiped off the water stains on the side of his mouth with his sleeve, and was speechless with some shock: "This, this, this ......"

"If the amount is too large, I can use the railroad as collateral." Xia Jun said, of course, he asked Xie Baozhang for the kind of loan that did not require collateral. Then find a foreign bank, mortgage the assets out of the loan, in order to obtain a large ratio of funds, with funds, Xia Jun has superior resources in hand, you can carry out explosive development, and even advance the money to repair water conservancy, now Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi The water conservancy system is extremely weak, and the ability to resist disasters is a mess, which is one of the reasons why Xia Jun is anxious to ask for money.

"Then the old man will show this old face and try it for the chairman." Zhu Baosan is not very sure, so he can only do his best to this extent.
