Chapter 182: Image Damage

Jumping off the horse in front of the small western-style building in the courtyard of the dyeing factory, Qin Chuan threw the reins to the guards behind him, and walked up the steps without looking back, without even showing any indication to the attention of the two soldiers on duty in front of the door as usual, he directly pushed open the door and strode straight upstairs. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hearing the sound, Gao Miao and Gao Ying opened the wooden door of their respective rooms almost at the same time, looked at Qin Chuan, and saw Qin Chuan going upstairs by himself, Gao Miao hurriedly turned around and took a big wallet, and chased upstairs while urging Sister-in-law Wu in the kitchen to make tea quickly.

Qin Chuan went up to the second floor and saw Li Mingfang and Jin Lisan waiting there in the morning, Qin Chuan just went to the bathroom and wiped his face with a towel, so he hurriedly walked to the sofa and sat down opposite Li Mingfang and Jin Lisan, stretched out his hand to take a telegram handed over by Gao Miao, who caught up, and read it.

Since Qin Chuan was beaten with a military stick last year, under the repeated persuasion of Li Mingfang and Jin Lisan, he agreed to Gao Miao to be his secretary, specifically responsible for assisting Qin Chuan in handling some copywriting work.

Gao Miao came to a room on the first floor of the small western-style building at eight o'clock every morning to work, and ended at five o'clock in the evening, specializing in sorting out and keeping the documents sent from all over the place, and then summarizing and reporting to Qin Chuan, some documents that need Qin Chuan's personal signature, or some documents that must be urgently handled by Qin Chuan, will be sent directly to Qin Chuan by Gao Miao, if Qin Chuan is not there, Gao Miao will also arrange for someone to inform Qin Chuan urgently.

Since there is Gao Miao's copywriter or secretary, ordinary documents and documents that need to be despised or reported to Qin Chuan no longer need to be sent by Li Mingfang, Jin Lisan, Pan Sichi, Tang Guoan and others in person, but as long as they put the documents in a sealed document bag and send someone to send them to Gao Miao. Of course, some confidential matters or related documents that can only be reported to Qin Chuan orally still have to come over by themselves.

Gao Miao is not only very diligent, but also very careful, things have been done in an orderly manner for more than a year, not to mention, even Qin Chuan, who is busy with affairs all day long, needs to change the clothes he buys, as well as the seasonal underwear that needs to be worn during the change of seasons, Gao Miao takes the initiative to operate, which saves Qin Chuan, a big man who has not a family, a lot of trouble, and Qin Chuan feels more and more inseparable from Gao Miao. Slowly, even some confidential things are no longer carried by Gao Miao.

The telegram handed over by Gao Miao was sent by Aldington from North Korea, and the telegram said that due to Qin Chuan's early arrangement, most of the silver deposits in the bank had been quietly loaded back to Tianjin, and the remaining small amount of gold and silver had also been transported to a secret location by the Han River for storage. When the Japanese army entered Seoul, he ran out with the bank clerk sent by Qin Chuan to assist him in North Korea, and also hid in this secret place, and now not only the Japanese, but also many Koreans are also searching for him all over the world, and he desperately hopes that Qin Chuan will find a way to send someone to pick him up as soon as possible.

Aldington also said in the telegram that Japanese warships had already appeared in nearby ports.

Although this telegram was all coded words, Qin Chuan could understand it, and he could even see Aldington's frightened state of mind through the lines.

While Qin Chuan was reading the telegram, Sister-in-law Wu had already made tea for a few people and went downstairs.

Qin Chuan read the telegram twice, thought for a while, and then handed the telegram to Gao Miao again, watched Gao Miao accept the telegram and motioned for Gao Ying to sit down as well.

Qin Chuan took a sip of hot tea, and roughly explained the content of Aldington's telegram to Jin Lisan and Li Mingfang, and then said.

"Most of the tens of millions of silver in Korea have been shipped back, but now there is still silver money left, including a batch of gold, this time the Japanese are absolutely determined to annex Korea, but you also know that until now the imperial court is still inconclusive, it is really a taboo for soldiers. One side will want to get it as soon as possible, while the other side will be indecisive and hesitant between war and peace, and victory or defeat will be inevitable. Therefore, if these things from North Korea are not shipped, they will be cheaper for the Japanese. I decided that I would personally take someone to North Korea tomorrow afternoon to bring back Aldington and our people and all that amount of belongings. ”

As soon as they heard that Qin Chuan was going to go to North Korea in person, the three of them couldn't help but change color on their faces, Gao Miao opened his mouth to say something, but thinking that his identity was far inferior to Jin Lisan and Li Mingfang, he had to swallow back the words that were about to burst out of his mouth.

Not only Gao Miao was anxious, but Li Mingfang was even more anxious, staring at his eyes and waving his hand repeatedly: "No!" No way! ”

"The owner, the ancients, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, North Korea has long been a place of fierce warfare, how can you go with such a precious identity."

Jin Lisan also said anxiously: "Lao Li is right, adults must not be involved in danger, personnel and property are indeed to be taken back, but there is no need for adults to go in person, hasn't Xu Tong brought people to a few times, I think it's okay to send Xu Tong to bring people." ”

Qin Chuan shook his head resolutely: "There are some things that I have to do in person, I didn't come to you to discuss with you, I just informed you, and this matter is here." ”

Seeing Qin Chuan's resolute attitude, several people were not good at persuading him again, Jin Li opened his mouth and didn't say anything, Li Mingfang rubbed his hands even more anxiously, the scene was very embarrassing for a while, but fortunately, Qin Chuan immediately changed the topic.

Qin Chuan reached out and picked up a box of "Pure Yang Brand" cigarettes from the coffee table, took out one and lit it, and took a deep breath.

"There are a few things that you need to do right away."

"First of all, Lao Li, the ships of our shipping company are still in the Indian Ocean, and I can't refer to it for a while. You immediately go to find a ship overnight, and you need a faster freighter, big or small, at least five or more, the more the better. As for the price, no matter how much, as long as he gives us a trip. Remember, the first one only told them to go to North Korea to pull goods; secondly, they must depart at noon to-morrow; Third, no matter which pier he stops at, he must assemble in place off the coast of Tianjin in the afternoon. ”

Li Mingfang was still a little hesitant and didn't move, but Qin Chuan remembered something again.

"Lao Li. After this is done, there are still things to arrange immediately. ”

"From now on, flour companies, canning companies, and pharmaceutical companies will no longer sign any supply contracts for flour, canned food, gauze, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs produced by pharmaceutical companies, and Cao Maoxiang will be told to produce as many first-aid kits and frostbite treatment drugs as they have newly developed. In addition, I also have to contact Wu Tiaoqing and ask him to help transport canned food and flour to Jinzhou outside the customs by railway, and how much can be transported, and these things will be stored in our warehouse in Jinzhou. Also, the horses in our ranch in Jinzhou must be transferred to Lingyuan as soon as possible and ready to spend the winter there. ”

"Alright, that's all, let's hurry up and hire a boat."

Seeing that Li Mingfang still didn't get up, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sink his face.

Knowing that he couldn't be persuaded anymore, Li Mingfang had no choice but to nod with a wry smile, and got up and left with great reluctance.

Qin Chuan turned his gaze to Jin Lisan again: "Lao Jin, our companies don't have many shares circulating in the market now, right?" ”

Jin Lisan nodded and said: "Except for the refined salt company, which circulates slightly higher in the market, the others are about five percent, and they are all taken advantage of the last depreciation of silver, and it is rumored that when the lord is going to go bankrupt and sell the factory, he will take advantage of the low price." ”

Qin Chuan nodded and said: "This Sino-Japanese and Korean war will start soon, and the people's hearts will be unstable together, once the war starts, you can quietly release some news, and you can even discuss with Lao Li to raise the price of some companies' products slightly, especially the products of flour, canned food, and pharmaceuticals." In this way, those speculators in the market will get caught up and speculate on the stock price, and then you will secretly release more stocks. ”

Qin Chuan's arrangement is to find a way to take the opportunity to raise the stock price, attract everyone to follow suit, and then sell some of the stocks in his hand at a high place, and then buy it backhand when the stock price is low, obviously to make a profit in the stock market.

Jin Lisan couldn't understand these methods, and couldn't help nodding excitedly and saying, "Wonderful!" At the mercy of adults, it can be summarized by the seven clever strategies of creating something out of nothing, striking grass and startling snakes, throwing bricks and attracting jade, holding sheep, golden cicadas shelling, going to the house to draw ladders, and Li Dai Taozhuang. Your Excellency, you can see. ”

Knowing that Jin Lisan had fully understood what he meant, Qin Chuan nodded and changed the topic again.

"Also, our mint will have to work overtime to mint more Vermilion Ocean, once the war starts, not only will a large amount of military pay be used in the ocean, but even in the market, there will inevitably be people who are worried that the gold yuan coupons we issue in their hands are not stable, and they will be in a hurry to change to the ocean, and store more oceans in their hands to prevent a run."

Qin Chuan explained some of Jin Lisan's banking details, and Jin Lisan also left in a hurry.

Seeing Jin Lisan away, Qin Chuan hurriedly went downstairs to the conference room to meet the officers of the Yan Regiment, and got up to go downstairs, but saw Gao Miao's originally white and pure face flushed, a mouthful of white and neat teeth biting his lip tightly, and there were hidden tears in his eyes, and he sat there with his head slightly bowed and neither spoke nor left.

Gao Miao's demeanor couldn't help but make Qin Chuan a little surprised, he didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help but stop and ask Gao Miao.

"Xingyun, but what's going on at home?"

Gao Miao twisted his head slightly, didn't look at Qin Chuan, and said angrily: "There are some things, my father said that the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese may have to fight, once the war starts, the price of food and clothing will increase, and he has recently used the rest of his money to buy the stocks of our flour company and canning company." For this matter, I also talked about him, saying that he was going to make a fortune in the country. ”

"But I never thought that you would be like this。。。。。。 Do. ”

Qin Chuan understood what Gao Miao meant, and knew that his "tall image" had changed in the eyes of this young man, and he couldn't help laughing.

It's just that Gao Miao's words surprised Qin Chuan a little, he really didn't expect that Gao Miao's father would be so discerning and really a talent in finance.

It's just that after laughing for a while, seeing that Gao Miao still looked angry, Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile and said.

"Xingyun, you think that your father and I are the same dog, so 。。。。。。"

As soon as the words came out, Qin Chuan felt that these words were a little disrespectful to Gao Miao's father, so he didn't continue, put away his smile and thought about it.

"Xing Tong, you look down on me for this matter. I can tell you that once the war starts, the war is very likely to spread to Liaodong, and the flour, canned food, and medicines I shipped to Jinzhou are just for the supply of military supplies. ”

"Besides, your father is buying stocks, not buying a large amount of grain and hoarding it, but just speculating in stocks and making money from those speculative businessmen. It's your father who has a vision and a business acumen. ”

"In this way, you also heard what I told Manager Jin just now, not counting your leakage, you can tell your father when you go back, and let him use all the money he can raise to buy these stocks I said. Also, your father is a financial talent, go back and ask him if he would like to work in a bank? If he is willing, when this battle is over, let him take over all the business and go to the bank to be an assistant to Jin Lisan, who will be responsible for the domestic and American stocks of our Aurora Bank, and the treatment and custody will make more money than he is doing these businesses now. ”

After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he didn't care what Gao Miao was thinking, he turned around and went downstairs. (To be continued.) )
