Han Yu has a poem: "A dynasty plays nine heavens". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn feudal imperial China, the supreme ruler was within the walls of a deep palace, maintaining an unfathomable style, giving orders to his subjects, and exercising an authoritarian rule that combined killing and decisiveness. As a subject, if you want to see the emperor, whether it is close contact or a distant look, it is often a thing that cannot be met or sought in a lifetime, so people at that time regarded seeing the "face of heaven" as a great honor in life.

But for this glory, Chen Wenqiang is not sensitive, and he is not as enthusiastic as Jin Sanye. Kneeling and kowtowing, calling back and forth, Chen Wenqiang is unlikely to accept it.

"Zhu Yidong is from Suzhou." Chen Wenqiang figured it out and bowed slightly, "When the technicians and employees of the power plant are familiar with the work, I will organize the establishment of an engineering team related to power construction, and Suzhou can be set as the first choice to meet the requirements of Zhu Yidong." ”

"That's good, so I can explain to Zhu Yidong." Jin Sanye leaned into the sofa and touched his shiny forehead, "Isn't this bank very profitable?" Brother, please mention it, do I want to buy some shares? ”

"There may not be much gain in the short term." Chen Wenqiang paused and said: "But as long as you gain a firm foothold and develop your business, the most important thing is to win the right to issue money, then it will be a good way to make a fortune." Paper money, as long as it has credibility, can be spent as real money. Of course, this may take a while to materialize. ”

"Sounds great." Jin Sanye nodded, calculated his wealthy funds, and asked tentatively: "If you invest 100,000 shares, can you be one, that, that director?" ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you're not a director." Chen Wenqiang thought for a while and said: "The total share capital of the bank is tentatively set at 2 million yuan, 100,000 yuan per share, and domestic and Nanyang funds account for half each. As for the domestic ones, the Ningbo merchants can easily take out all of them. Unless the share capital is increased, it is difficult to even buy shares. ”

"So sought-after?" Jin Sanye grinned, "Then this matter was initiated and organized by you, and it won't even be you-"

"According to the agreement, I can only subscribe for up to 300,000." Chen Wenqiang spread his hands, paused, and said, "Big brother wants to buy shares, even if it is in my share!" Or I can make a proposal to expand the total share capital to three million dollars. Naturally, the more capital the bank has, the better, so that those foreign banks will not dare to be easily attacked. ”

"Okay, okay, then it's up to you, brother." Jin Sanye got up and told him meaningfully: "It's good to make money and make a fortune, some things still have to be thought twice." Of course, I know that your ambitions are great, but you also have to be careful! ”

"Big brother, don't worry." Chen Wenqiang got up and comforted: "Am I the kind of frizzy person? As for making money and making a fortune, we also have to take a long-term view, make more friends, and leave more ways out! ”

Jin Sanye was thoughtful, then nodded ambiguously, patted Chen Wenqiang's arm with a wry smile, and turned to leave.

Chen Wenqiang knew that Jin Sanye was motivated by good intentions, because interests had tied everyone together, and one was prosperous and one was lost. But now Chen Wenqiang is no longer able to stop, no matter what, he must continue along the envisioned path.

In order to seek cover, Chen Wenqiang believes that he is moving closer to the domestic constitutionalists and pretending to be constitutionalists, which is more protective and coated.

Compared with the revolutionary party, which shouted violence, the Manchus were tolerant and lenient against the constitutionalists. This is also very understandable, after all, the attitude of the constitutionalists is moderate, and most of them are literati and scholars, industrial and commercial industrialists, and they have no weapons in their hands, at best they are only propaganda, petitions, and shouting with their mouths. But on the other hand, the Manchus did not want to force the constitutionalists into revolutionary parties, after all, there were a lot of people in the constitutionalists, including industrial and commercial tycoons and court officials, and their connections and funds should not be taken lightly.

Therefore, the revolutionary party was repeatedly brutally suppressed, and the constitutionalists took advantage of the situation to force the Manchus. To be honest, in the first three years of the Xinhai Revolution, the Constitutional Movement was particularly well carried out and achieved remarkable results compared to the revolutionary movement. For example, the constitutionalists went all out to establish the Consultative Council and elected members of the Consultative Council, which won victories and seized leadership in many provinces.

As for the Xinhai Revolution, although the revolutionary party fired the first shot, without the help and support of the constitutionalists, the general development and upsurge of the revolutionary situation in the whole country would not have been possible.

The reason for this was the stupid Manchu Qing themselves. After the failure of the petition to the National Assembly in 1910, some of the constitutionalists began to turn their minds to the revolution, and even if they did not turn to the revolution, they no longer had an opposition to the revolution. The constitutionalists and the consultative bureaus under their control were mostly important local figures, and they had a unique advantage over the revolutionary party in terms of funds, materials, and mobilization of the masses.

It is precisely on the basis of long-term considerations that Chen Wenqiang did not regard the constitutionalists as enemies who do not share the same sky, and there are controversies in the newspapers and media, but the language and writing are still restrained and civilized. In terms of Chen Wenqiang's public identity, he is closer to the constitutionalists, the old champion Zhang Jian, the leader of Ningbo merchants Zhu Baosan, and the red-top businessman Zhu Lanfang...... Even when he went to Japan for the first time, he solemnly visited Liang Qichao and had a long conversation with him.

If it weren't for the fact that the Constitutionalists were not an organized, chartered party, but a loose group of like-minded people, Chen would have been branded as a Constitutionalist long ago. Even now, Chen Wenqiang is regarded as a comrade by Zhang Jian and others, and with the increase in popularity and power, he is very likely to become the backbone of the constitutionalists.

At the top level, there are Zhang Zhidong, old champions, and even important ministers and officials in the imperial court, and in the middle level, there are industrial and commercial tycoons from all over the country, and compradors from Shanghai, and the government and foreigners are all involved, and the influence of the constitutionalists is not small. Because of this, Chen Wenqiang disguised himself as a constitutionalist, which is a very effective layer of protection, at least on the side of the Manchu government, the vigilance is not high, and the supervision is not strict. Taking Liang Qichao's "Xinmin Cong Bao" as an example, it is almost not banned in China, and it is naturally very different from the revolutionary newspapers and periodicals that shout loudly from the revolutionary press.

Since it can be disguised as a constitutional, can it also be mixed with the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so as to make it more convenient to act? Chen Wenqiang suddenly became interested in the imperial court award that Jin Sanye had just mentioned. Entering the capital to face the saint, it is still exempt, and those who kneel around can't accept it, let alone the capricious old witch.

However, if you can't mix with officials, you can achieve your goals through Zhang Jian and others. Not only Shangjo Chen, because of Zhang Jian's prestige and influence, and when an old system is willing to be renewed and is in the renewal stage, he will maintain the greatest sincerity and cooperation with it, and still work for it, he has won the favor of the imperial court and the Empress Dowager Cixi, and has been summoned several times.
