Chapter 153: Whose China, Whose Sichuan
Wang Hengyue didn't want to care about those so-called reading power celebrations at all.
After sending Qin Guangcheng's family away, Wang Hengyue invited Charlie Du and Qin Guangcheng again to discuss the opening of a bank.
"It's a good thing to start a bank." When it comes to business, Charhard Du quickly becomes serious: "Westerners gather the wealth of the country as the foundation of trade and industry, and the hub of the West is to bank." In the past, most of China's banks were divided between government and business, such as the Daqing Household Bank. Private IPOs, on the other hand, tend to be small and difficult to compete in the market, barely sustaining themselves. If you want to start a bank, size is the first priority. ”
Wang Hengyue nodded slightly: "How much capital do you need?" ”
"The scale must not be less than 10 million taels, otherwise a wave will hit and there will not even be a splash when it sinks." Charlie Du pondered and said: "I am the first to raise my hand in favor of setting up a bank, and I am also willing to take shares." I just don't know how to say it, but I really want to start a bank? ”
"Of course, I really want to do it." Wang Hengyue calculated in his heart that the silver, gold and silver utensils that Yu Lei had scavenged in front of Leshan were sent to Rong County in several batches, which would add up to eight or nine million, which could be used here.
Of course, it is impossible to take it all out and invest it in the bank, but it is feasible to divide a part of it and make up some of it to become the largest shareholder.
After thinking for a while: "After I return to Rong County, I will take out 520,000 yuan, and the rest can be solved by recruiting shares." ”
"I can't imagine that Hengyue is so rich now." Charlie Du smiled and said, "In that case, I can also take out a million, what does Brother Qin mean?" ”
"Recently, the market has been too chaotic, business is not easy to do, and funds are tight, but it is still possible to raise 1 million taels of shares." Qin Guangcheng also said with a smile.
"Okay, that's seven million, and the rest is solved by recruiting shares." Wang Hengyue was overjoyed in his heart: "The head office of this bank is opened in Chengdu, the name, this, this is called 'Chengdu Commercial Bank', everything is entrusted to Manager Du and the eldest brother!" ”
Charlie Du is the most credibility in business, and with Qin Guangcheng on his side, please let these two people rest assured. What's more, in this way, it is equivalent to indirectly tying Charlie Du to his ship, and he is not afraid that he will not do his best in the future.
Charlie Du is also overjoyed, this banking industry has a lot to do, and the profits are huge, how can there be a reason not to do it?
Besides, looking at the current situation, Wang Hengyue is developing rapidly, and I am afraid that this Chengdu and Sichuan may be his in the future. I am now allied with him in business, and I really can't ask for it.
Wang Hengyue didn't know anything about the bank, so after asking Charlie Du and Qin Guangcheng, he hurriedly went to the Chengdu branch of Fan Lixi's company.
John and Wang Hengyue, the acting general managers of the Chengdu branch, are also old acquaintances, and now that the revolutionary party is gaining momentum, this business will be promising in the future, and they are enthusiastic when they see Wang Hengyue coming.
After a pleasantry of pleasantries, Kleiman was asked about the situation, and the topic changed to the purchase of a new machine.
Wang Hengyue attaches great importance to the machine, John knows the most about the number of machines purchased in the past two years, and since Wang Hengyue wants to buy it again, how can John not agree.
Carefully asked about the model of the machine, bargained for a long time on the price of the machine, initialed the contract, and John had to stay with Wang Hengyue to eat here. said that he hired a Chinese chef to make a good Sichuan cuisine.
Wang Hengyue was also polite and agreed.
Waiting for the food to be served, John sent someone to invite the second secretary of the United States in Chengdu, Ste Wang, taking advantage of this time, Wang Hengyue asked John to continue to help him find a group of machine experts, of course, this has to be John's voluntary help, and he can't come out with half a tael of silver.
John smiled and responded.
After chatting for more than half an hour, Ste Wang came and gave Wang Hengyue a close hug: "Wang, it seems that your boldness has been rewarded." Yucheng has read hard, Chengdu has also read hard, and your adventure has succeeded. Congratulations, Your Excellency Deputy Governor. ”
"In the future, you and I can cooperate, and I don't have to worry about the hat of a thief on my head anymore." Wang Hengyue smiled and pointed at himself, and then at the other party.
At the table, John raised his glass and said:
"Come, let's celebrate the king's success!"
After taking a sip, Stewang put down the cup: "Wang, I have a question that I have been keeping in my heart for a long time. After the success of the revolution in Sichuan, you have every chance of taking the position of governor, but why don't you want to do it? ”
"It's not that I don't want to do it, it's that I'm not qualified to sit." Wang Hengyue smiled and said, "No, no. It's not like this, you're cunning. Stewang waved his hand again and again: "In my guess, you think that it is not yet time for you to seize the supreme power, but I believe that since you think so, then when the time is ripe, you will unceremoniously seize this right!" ”
A dead foreign devil, it's quite clear, now that you know, what else do you ask?
Wang Hengyue smiled slightly, but did not answer, looking "unfathomable".
"The sooner you invest, the better you can get in the future." Stewang pondered: "That's what old Kleiman did, so while he gets a good return, he will also be able to pass unhindered in the future within your control." This has inspired me a lot, Wang, and we can work more closely together in the future. ”
This is what Wang Hengyue wants to hear the most, and he raised his glass and saluted: "In the future, within my control, I also hope to be able to carry out a lot of cooperation with you." Of course, this is only if I haven't been defeated by someone else. ”
"No, king, it's always you who knock down others, no one can defeat you, I trust my judgment." Stawangda said disapprovingly: "There are many people who want to defeat you, but they all fail, and you are always the winner. Or so to speak, you're a winner who never surprises."
In the future, you have to be careful when you cooperate with this foreign devil, don't fall into his trap yet, Wang Hengyue thought in his heart.
John was excited: "In Sichuan, the revolutionary party is in control, and in China, the situation is changing dramatically. I think that the leader of the revolutionary party, Sun Wen, may soon become the most powerful person in China. ”
"No, John, you're wrong." Stewang corrected his statement: "In China, the most powerful person will not be Sun Wen, nor the little emperor in the forbidden city, but Yuan Shikai who has come out of the mountain again!" ”
"Really?" John was a businessman and obviously didn't know much about all of this.
Stewang took a sip of wine: "Everything Yuan Shikai has done has many similarities with our Wang and Deputy Governors, and it is always so unexpected. After he was deposed, he was not worried at all, and he was a fisherman who was happy there, because he knew that the political axe would definitely reactivate him. However, when he could completely take down the three towns of Wuhan, he stopped using troops surprisingly, why? He wanted more power, and apparently he did."
"On the one hand, the revolutionary party is oppressed by force, and on the other hand, peace talks are secretly held with the revolutionary party, and neither side suffers." Wang Hengyue smiled and said.
The Manchu court pinned all its hopes on Yuan Shikai, and similarly, many in the revolutionary party believed that Yuan Shikai was the leader who could lead China.
China's future and destiny are in the hands of this one person.
Comparing himself to him, Stewang inevitably exalted himself a little.
"Yuan Shikai's China, Wang Hengyue's Sichuan." Stewang suddenly said these two sentences inexplicably, and then asked with interest: "You two, who can fulfill his wish first?" Oh, no, I think it should be Yuan Shikai, but Sichuan, will it become Wang Hengyue's Sichuan? ”
Wang Hengyue covered himself with a smile: "If the Manchu Qing Dynasty collapses and China completes reunification, whether it is Yuan Shikai or Sun Wen, I, Wang Hengyue, will be the first to obey the political axe?" ”
"Really?"
A sly smile appeared in Stewang's eyes
The "Han Sichuan Military and Political Axe" was established, and Wang Hengyue, as the deputy governor, refused Pu Dianjun and Zhu Qinglan's repeated retention to participate in the military parade, but decided to return to Rong County.
In Chengdu, he left several guards for Qin Guangcheng to be responsible for Qin Guangcheng's safety.
The bank's preliminary preparations, Charlie Du and Qin Guangcheng have already begun to do it, which does not need Wang Hengyue to worry about it.
Before leaving, he called Wei Shunzhi and Jiang Naiwei and gave him a few words of advice. Wei Shunzhi and Jiang Naiyu responded one by one, and then said a little strangely:
"It's strange, on the day of the establishment of the military and political axe, Lu Baogen and his four bodyguards were killed in Xiaochun Pavilion. Luo Lun was about to go crazy, so he arrested the old bustard turtle and interrogated him repeatedly, but there were no clues. I heard that I lost a cousin, but I couldn't find it all over Chengdu. ”
"Evil is rewarded." Wang Hengyue smiled and stood up: "The matter of Chengdu depends on you, I am waiting for your good news in Rong County!" ”
Knowing that his brother was leaving, Qin Guangcheng hurried back, reluctant to give up.
"Big brother, you are alone in Chengdu, you must be careful, the guards I left for you are carefully selected, once something happens, big brother can go to the US Secretariat in Chengdu to hide for a while, I have already said it to Secretary Stewang." Wang Hengyue explained uneasily.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be fine!" Qin Guangcheng didn't care: "On the contrary, it's you, don't always take the lead when you fight, be careful when you should be careful, and protect yourself is the first." ”
Wang Hengyue nodded, turned over and hugged his fist: "Big brother, farewell!" ”
"Take care, brother!"
On December 3, 1911, Wang Hengyue, the deputy governor of the "Sichuan Han Military and Political Axe", left Chengdu, and the situation in Sichuan was about to undergo major changes again!
