Qiao Zhiyong smiled and said: "*** Please sit down, to be honest, Zhiyong has admired the president for a long time." In the past, *** led the army to fight against bandits, defeated the British, French and other foreigners, and the shame brought by opium, Zhiyong was enthusiastic when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to fight side by side with ***. Later, *** fought against the Russians, and Zhiyong was even more admired. Only *** has this ability! For Zhiyong, your invitation to come to Beijing is not an interruption, but an opportunity, and it is fortunate for Zhiyong to have a face-to-face exchange with the president. ”

After a pause, Qiao Zhiyong continued: "*** came to visit overnight, this is an honor to look up to and from below. ”

Li Zhen was very comfortable in his heart, but said: "Mr. Qiao is too famous, ashamed!" Shame" he entered the room and sat down, and said, "Mr. Qiao, I am from a military background, I speak straight, and I can't go around the corner. To tell you the truth, I invited Mr. Qiao to Beijing this time because I wanted Mr. Qiao's help with something. ”

Qiao Zhiyong waved his hand and said, "Please *** say it directly!" ”

Li Zhen opened his mouth and asked, "Does Mr. Qiao know about the Great China Bank?" ”

Qiao Zhiyong said: "I know, I have understood. This bank is much bigger than ours, and it is doing a good job, which is quite powerful! Anyone who is in business should know this bank. ”

Li Zhen said: "The person who controls the bank is the person I invited. ”

When Qiao Zhiyong heard this, he had a surprised expression.

Immediately, Qiao Zhiyong quickly recovered and said admiringly: "*** is really not an ordinary person, it actually involves business, which opens Zhiyong's eyes!" Having said that, whether it is our Jin business, or micro-business, etc., we are quite envious of the people who set up the Great China Bank. This is a very impressive feat. We also wanted to follow suit, but it was really difficult to operate, so we had to give up in the end. ”

Li Zhen sighed lightly and said, "Recently, something happened to the Great China Bank!" ”

"What's going on?" Qiao Zhiyong asked.

At this moment, Qiao Zhiyong roughly understood in his heart, I am afraid that he has to pay money.

The president personally approached him, and it must have been a matter of money.

But how to pay for it? Qiao Zhiyong has already begun to ponder in his heart.

Li Zhen said: "Don't hide it from Mr. Qiao, I led the army to go around to fight in the east and west, and I have always been supported by the Great China Bank, and all the money comes from the Great China Bank. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was settled, Great China Bank's money was tight and it was unable to catch it. At that time, somehow, the news of the bank's money shortage leaked out and became known to a missionary in England. ”

"This British missionary was very vicious, spreading false rumors that officials were greedy for money from the bank, which caused the bank to collapse."

Therefore, hundreds of people flocked to the city and began to withdraw money in a big way. Even if Fan Kai, who was in charge of the bank, raised money locally and barely closed the gap, it was difficult to recover the situation. Now, the Bank of Greater China is alive and well, and is in dire need of capital injection to turn the situation around. Therefore, I want to borrow a sum of money from Mr. Qiao and return it to Mr. Qiao when the bank is operational. ”

Originally, Li Zhen planned to raise funds, but after thinking about it, it was more appropriate to borrow money.

After all, people are businessmen, and they have to do business.

Qiao Zhiyong asked, "How much do you want to borrow?" ”

Li Zhen said: "If Mr. Qiao believes in me, it is natural that the more the better, so as to reverse the current situation as soon as possible." ”

Qiao Zhiyong thought for a while and said, "***, money is not a problem. If you agree to one condition, my Qiao family will subsidize you with three million taels of silver for free! Of course, this is funded in batches. The first batch of 1 million taels, the second batch of 1 million taels, the third batch of 500,000 taels, and the fourth batch of 500,000 taels, sent out three million taels of silver in four batches. time, it may take about three months. ”

After Lao Liu heard this, his eyes widened, and he gestured with his eyes again and again, wanting to stop Qiao Zhiyong.

Three million taels, that's not a small amount!

It's a pity that Qiao Zhiyong turned a blind eye.

Li Zhenluo stood up, and his breathing became rapid.

Three million in funding, that's a big pie! However, Li Zhen also understood that pies in the sky were not easy to take, so he quickly calmed down. After sitting down, he looked at Qiao Zhiyong and asked seriously, "What are Mr. Qiao's conditions?" You can talk about it first, if Mr. Qiao wants me to open a back door for the Qiao family's business, or help you do something illegal, I can't do it. I'd rather not have these three million than trample on the law. ”

Qiao Zhiyong said: "Don't break the law, and don't embarrass ***!" ”

"Say!" Li Zhen waved his hand.

Qiao Zhiyong said: "I ask *** to inscribe a word for my Qiao family!" ”

Li Zhen asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Qiao Zhiyong said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The inscription is seven big characters - 'Honesty is the foundation of Fusheng Gong'!" ”

After Li Zhen heard this, he immediately understood.

It turned out that Qiao Zhiyong and Qiao's owner bought a brand for three million silver taels to go back! Fusheng Gong is the time-honored signboard of the Qiao family, once Li Zhen inscribed. With Li Zhen's influence, he naturally gave the Qiao family a golden signboard. Of course, this has little effect on Li Zhen. Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "I promise." But the ugly words are said in the front, if the Qiao family is operating in good faith, I will allow you to show this plaque and use it. If you are unfair, do things based on 'profit', and do not be honest, I will send someone to take it back. ”

Qiao Zhiyong said confidently: "Please rest assured, if this situation really happens, I will take it off myself." ”

Li Zhen said: "I didn't bring a seal when I came, and I'll make it up for you when I go back!" ”

Qiao Zhiyong smiled and said: "I believe in *** people!" ”

Li Zhen continued: "Mr. Qiao, since you plan to donate money, I will explain the plan for this time. In addition to you, the businessmen I invited also include Wu Shaorong from Guangzhou, as well as Hu Xueyan, a large and micro businessman, plus businessmen from all over the country. I'm sure there are many people who can't be as generous as you are. Therefore, when it is time to raise funds, please cooperate with Mr. Qiao. Of course, it's not the white wolf with empty gloves that asks the merchant to send money. Merchants who donate money will enjoy a policy next. ”

"What policy?" Qiao Zhiyong said with interest.

Li Zhen said: "Next, I will reform the scientific research nationwide and gradually abolish the Bagu Wen. As a result, new schools will be promoted throughout the country, following the example of Western schools in offering a wide range of subjects. When the time comes, among all the merchants who donate, once the children of these merchants' families are enrolled, if they are excellent in character and learning, and can be assessed by the people I appointed, I will directly appoint them as officials. The size of the official position depends on the individual's ability. What I can guarantee is an excellent person, who can definitely be an official. ”

After Qiao Zhiyong listened, his breathing became short.

This is a road to heaven!

Back then, he didn't want to do business at first, but he left the mall because he didn't have a good career. Now, Li Zhen has given another way, so that Qiao Zhiyong can see the hope of the children of the family to become officials, because the Qiao family has a large number of outstanding talents.
