Wu Tiaoqing continued unhurriedly: "Brother Minghong, who is talented and proficient in foreign affairs, is a rare talent in my Qing Dynasty, and should not be buried in the market, but should donate a vacancy, so that he can have a career in the future, and do more for the emperor and thousands of people in the Qing Dynasty."

Wu Tiaoqing glanced at Li Jingfang and said: "All of this, you don't need to worry about Minghong, it is up to me and Jingfang to do it for my brother, even if the money donated to the official is also for my brother." ”

When Wu Tiaoqing said that he was donating, he couldn't help but shock Qin Chuan's heart.

The matter of donating officials, but it is exactly what Qin Chuan has been thinking about during this time, but he has not been able to free up his hands to do this now, if there are Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang to operate for him, it is not a trivial matter.

Wu Tiaoqing said these things, all of which spoke to Qin Chuan's heart, how could Qin Chuan not be happy, if he hadn't had to control it, Qin Chuan would have jumped up happily a long time ago.

Wu Tiaoqing can do these things for him, this is what Qin Chuan never expected, if Wu Tiaoqing first said these benefits, don't say that Wu Tiaoqing only needs one percent of the shares, that is, Wu Tiaoqing will give him two percent, Qin Chuan will not hesitate to agree, everyone earns money, this sentence is a wise saying.

Qin Chuan thought in his heart, it seems that this Wu Tiaoqing still knows the rules of the business field very well, although the salt factory is amazingly profitable, but he also makes millions of silver and shrinks his hands, such a person, he really has to be careful to envelop him.

However, in this way, the half of the shares taken by Li Jingfang are less.

Qin Chuan held back the excitement in his heart, and arched his hand and said: "Brother Wu is thoughtful, and the younger brother is very impressed, so everything will be troubled by Brother Wu and Brother Li." The money required, naturally, will not let Brother Wu break the bank, or should the younger brother do it, how much is needed, Brother Wu said. Afterwards, the younger brother naturally had the advantage of laughing. ”

Wu Tiaoqing shook his hand again and again and said: "For my brother, I don't need to worry about these things, not to mention the benefits, I have already taken advantage of my brother." ”

"Just 。。。。。。"

Wu Tiaoqing paused, looked at Qin Chuan and said meaningfully: "Brother Minghong, this one, the matter of the Changlu Salt Transport Envoy Yamen, as well as the matter of donating officials, I can't help much for my brother, and these things mainly have to be done by the party." In addition, Li Zhongtang spent a lot of money there, and he helped his subordinates and various yamen in Beijing to do everything up and down, all of which were indispensable, and the income from this half-share dividend was also a drop in the bucket, just to save the emergency, but it was just a bitter prescription, you see。。。。。。 ”

Wu Tiaoqing's meaning is very clear, that is, these things have to be handled by Li Jingfang back, and there are still some benefits of Li Jingfang, and you Qin Chuan have to come up with a charter.

Wu Tiaoqing's meaning, how Qin Chuan didn't understand, since it was a matter of asking for people, there was always something to pay, not to mention that behind this Li Jingfang, there was also Li Hongzhang, the hot governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang Trade and Commerce in the Qing Dynasty, it seems that there is still more blood to be produced.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan gritted his teeth in his heart and said to Li Jingfang happily.

"Zhongtang is busy with state affairs, how can these things distract Zhongtang, please be relieved by Brother Fang, in addition to the half-percent dividend of this salt factory at the end of the year, Minghong will have another effect to relieve Brother Fang's worries. It's also considered that the younger brother shares some worries for the adults in the middle hall and does his best, what do you think of this? ”

When Qin Chuan said this, he said in his heart, so he simply let Lao Tzu be more cheerful and completely pull this Li Jingfang down. No, to be precise, it is through this Li Jingfang that he and Li Hongzhang are implicated.

"Brother Jingfang, at the end of each year, Minghong will take out half of the dividends of dry shares, how about it?"

It was more than one million dollars of silver in hand, even Li Jingfang couldn't hold it anymore, and he already had a smile on his face, but he still shook his hand again and again.

"Ming Hongxiu wants to say it again, he is willing to give up half of the shares, he is already grateful for his brother, where do you dare to ask for any more shares, it is really not good to let Ming Hong break the bank."

Wu Tiaoqing and Qin Chuan both knew that Li Jingfang's words were just the proper meaning of the question, where would they be taken seriously.

Seeing this, Wu Tiaoqing smiled, bent down and took out a black cowhide bag from under the dining table, opened it, took out a few written documents and handed them to Qin Chuan.

"Minghong, Jingfang still has an errand to do, since you agreed, let's sign the paperwork for the shares of the salt factory today, what do you think."

Wu Tiaoqing said, and took out a small copper box and two silver tickets from his leather bag.

"Ming Hong, this is the 800,000 principal, you can take it."

The document handed over by Wu Tiaoqing was a document about his and Li Jingfang's respective shares in the half-formed salt factory, and the names of Qin Chuan, Wu Tiaoqing, and Li Jingfang had already been signed on it. The 800,000 is two 400,000 Eagle Promissory Notes issued by HSBC.

Qin Chuan said in his heart: "This Wu Tiaoqing is sure that Lao Tzu will definitely agree, not only to prepare the money, but also to prepare the documents." ”

As for the 800,000 yuan, although Wu Tiaoqing issued two promissory notes of 400,000 yuan, if Qin Chuan was killed, he would not believe that there was 400,000 yuan taken by Li Jingfang. However, who came out of this money doesn't mean anything to Qin Chuan, as long as it's money, he doesn't care if it's Wu Tiaoqing, or if Li Jingfang will really take out the 400,000 yuan, anyway, this Yingyang looks the same, and no one can tell which one is surnamed Wu and that one is surnamed Li.

Qin Chuan put away the 800,000 promissory notes, and Wu Tiaoqing on the side had already opened the small copper box, which was full of red and bright cinnabar.

Qin Chuan didn't hesitate anymore, and at the moment, he and Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang pressed their fingerprints on several documents, and the three of them each put away their own documents.

After everything was done, Wu Tiaoqing had already picked up the wine glass with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Jingfang, Minghong, today's gathering is really happy, come, let's drink this cup, we will celebrate our salt factory good luck, and the wealth is rolling."

The issue of the shares of the salt factory can be regarded as a negotiation with Wu Tiaoqing, but Qin Chuan always has a feeling of being calculated by Wu Tiaoqing in his heart, and he is somewhat unwilling, always thinking about how to calculate this Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang once, and also make himself feel better, and suddenly a thought popped up in Qin Chuan's mind.

The Daqing Salt Law is aimed at table salt, and now the Chinese people only know one use of salt, that is, eating. But he wants to make alkali, it is industrial salt, industrial salt is not within the scope of the salt law at all, if he does not pay salt for industrial salt, it will save a lot of money, the cost of alkali production will be reduced, the cost of soap will naturally be reduced, this is a big fortune.

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan's eyes couldn't help but shine, and he hurriedly said to Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang: "Two brothers, the matter of the salt factory is so decided, but in addition to the salt factory, I also want to set up another soap factory." ”

Soap was still a luxury at this time, and it was not something that ordinary people could afford, it was a small piece of five eagles, and even many countrymen didn't know what soap was. However, this is too ordinary for Wu Tiaoqing and Li Jingfang, who are now washing with this soap every day.

It's just that when these two people heard that Qin Chuan was going to set up a soap factory, they were a little unimpressed.

Wu Tiaoqing touched his chin and looked at Qin Chuan and said: "Ming Hong, although this soap is a good thing, but not many people in our Qing Dynasty can afford to use it, no matter how good this thing is, it won't make money?" ”
