Chapter 730: Beauty Tricks
With the support of this staggering amount of gold, Shandong's economy can be completely revitalized. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info now the relationship between Lu currency and reserves is already five to one. Fortunately, there are sufficient industrial products to support it, coupled with the good economic situation, the credit of the reckless ticket is good, and there is no need to worry about the run.
Next, there is the transformation of the troops. A large number of cantonment troops put production in the first place. The growth of the army's tidal flat cotton base is gratifying, and a large number of grain ships have gathered on the wharf, which has also laid a solid foundation for Shandong's grain supply.
In Siheng Bank, Aunt Jin's hand was quickly fiddling with the abacus, and the kung fu that she had practiced in the pre-Jin era with one hand was now called perfect. A man's hand grabbed her waist violently, and Aunt Jin was startled at first, but then she breathed a sigh of relief. can go all the way here, except for the enemy, who else can be.
"Don't ...... Don't be like this, there's still people watching outside. Even if Xiaojun doesn't care about our business, it's not good. β
"What are you afraid of, I'm the marshal of Shandong, whoever dares to say bad things about you, I'll kill him. Wherever you go, you say that you were forced by me to occupy it with a gun, and it will not damage your reputation. β
Aunt Jin shook her head, "No, even if Xiaojun asks me in person, I will say that I hooked you." Your reputation is more important than mine. Her eyes were full of infatuation with Zhao Guanhou, knowing that as she grew older, she would eventually have a time when her face would not be there, and it would be difficult to keep this man's heart at that time, and it would be difficult to be a man at home. But when she thought of these years of joy, she felt that it didn't matter what the future holds.
"Now you're so busy with your business, and you still have to come to see me...... Will it delay official business. β
Zhao Guanhou held her in his arms and said softly: "No matter how big the official business is, it can't be as big as you, no matter how important it is, I have to let it go." Every autumn, you are prone to coughing, I have to come to see you, you see, and you didn't take your medicine on time, didn't you? I'll have to send a girl to keep an eye on you when I get back. Simply, go to live at home, I have experience in holding a wedding last time, and I will do one with you, and I guarantee that it will be done well. β
Aunt Jin sighed, "With your words, it's enough." I am from the Dong family and cannot remarry. Besides, if my identity marries you, others will gossip, and it will inevitably be said that you really used a gun to force others, which will hinder your reputation. You are a great hero who defeated Fusang, how can you lose your reputation for me as a widow, as long as you have me in your heart, I will be satisfied. Come, look at the ledger. β
She took the initiative to hand over the account book, but Zhao Guanhou didn't look at it, "The account book is not as good as you." I don't want to look. I have believed you, what else to check. β
"People are old and yellow, and they don't look good. Look at the woman you like in the bank, I'll do it for you. As long as you come to the bank a few more times and hug me more, I will be willing. Siheng's money is your money, no matter how you believe me, you still have to read the account book. It's much better looking than me. β
Aunt Jin took the initiative to spread out the account book and pointed to Zhao Guanhou, "Our business is going very smoothly, after the Fusang people retreated, we cooperated with the Albiang people in this part of shipping, and even the business in the Yangtze River was easy to do." Especially handsome, if you eat Zhang Yuan, the Yangtze River Water Police will be in your hands, and it will be more profitable on the route. Before Zhengyuan, there was a shipping company and Siheng controlled it, and it was almost divided with the business of the Albians. Also, like these new pharmaceutical factories, the benefits are also very good. Although Huabi Bank accounts for the majority, we also have income ...... Siheng"
She couldn't go on with what she said here, because Zhao Guanhou's hand had already untied the buckle and stretched inside. Aunt Jin's breathing became short, and she struggled to herself: "The door...... Close the door first! β
After a long time, Aunt Jin waited for Zhao Guanhou to put on his military uniform, Zhao Guanhou grabbed her hand fiercely, and gently stroked it, "Such a pair of hands, you have to fight for so long every day, and you will destroy the heavens." I'll turn around and have someone help you. β
Aunt Jin gave a sigh of encouragement, and didn't ask until she was fully dressed, "Yes...... The wife of the handsome Xinna? β
"No, but it's also a celebrity, little Afeng. Her name, you ought to know, right? β
"The concubine knows, hasn't she been in Qingdao before, serving General Songpo? Speaking of which, she is very blessed, and she has been able to serve two heroes successively. β
Zhao Guanhou pinched her nose, "Nonsense!" It's okay to talk to me about this kind of thing, but I won't forgive you if you say it in front of people. She's a good woman and has nothing to do with me. In his personal name, Cai Feng borrowed two million money from Hunan miners to cut Yuan. Now that the battle is over and others are dead, I don't know how to write off this debt. The government does not reimburse military spending, and the south doesn't even know where the money for disarmament comes from, let alone paying off Cai Feng's debts. A few of his friends are not so big of a deficit, and the little ancestral property at home is not enough to pay back if it is sold out. Xiao Afeng stepped forward and took the debt off. β
"She carried it? Million? Even Aunt Jin was a little surprised at this, "Even if she is listed in Shandong and re-branded, it is not easy to earn back these two million." β
"Even if she is willing to accept any customer, it is impossible to earn back two million, which is something that does not need to be thought about. If she is allowed to list in Shandong, it will be inconvenient to make a living on the pine slope. Although we are enemies, I also regard this co-famous general as a confidant. Before his death, everyone had different positions, and after death, I want to save his face. Xiao Afeng himself thought the same, although he had no reputation, he didn't want to go into the water again, giving people the excuse to attack General Cai. Therefore, I would like to introduce her to Siheng and help you. In the future, you teach her to do some business and see if she can make money back. She is a poor person, and she is also an ambitious woman, if she can help, just help. β
Aunt Jin nodded in agreement, thinking in her heart, she is pitiful, who is not pitiful? If Liu Peixuan is invited to Siheng, this is a gathering place for poor women. But compared to a few of them, he is the luckiest one. At least I have this man, even if it's only for a few years, I have no regrets in this life.
In another office, Jenson exhaled a smoke ring and looked at the woman in front of him. "Have you figured it out? With such a big figure of two million, it is not easy for you to earn it back. This debt, I settled it for Cai Songpo in the name of Warby Bank, which means that you owe me 2 million. If you owe money to the miners, you can rely on it, but you can't rely on the money you owe to the Warby Bank. Even if you kill yourself, I will have a way to get the money back from the people close to you. β
Xiao Afeng smiled and said, "Thank you Mrs. Jenson for your generosity, don't worry, I won't commit suicide." General Matsupa I is a hero, and I can't let him bear the notoriety of not paying his debts after he dies. He died and told me that he was sorry for his family, and for his great cause, the family had to sell everything and pay off the debt. There is not much I can do for him, at least to ensure that his family does not have to worry about food and clothing, and does not lose the last real estate and land. So, I'll take this debt on my shoulders. Thank you, Mrs. Jensen, for reaching out and paying off my debt first. From now on, I am a person from Siheng Bank, as long as I live for one day, I will pay off my debts for one day, and I will not use death to escape. This is General Songpa's woman, the ambition and backbone she should have. β
Jenson nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, you passed the interview." I like women with backbone, and I am willing to give such women a chance. But whether you can seize this opportunity or not depends on yourself. As you know, two million is not a small number, and if you use the old way, you will definitely not be able to pay it back. I have a task for you now, as long as you can complete this task, I can first forgive your debt of 500,000. β
Xiao Ah Feng looked embarrassed, "Mrs. Jensen, I hope you understand that Ah Feng has ...... from a good conscience."
"I know that I will protect you and will not let you really sacrifice...... However, some necessary entertainment is essential. Since you have joined Siheng, you should know that this is also Guanhou, that is, my husband. She looked up triumphantly
"A part of his estate, in other words, you are also part of our community. You don't have the right to say no when this group needs you to serve, or else...... I promise you won't wonder what's going to happen next. β
Xiao Afeng had no choice but to take a step back, "I can do what you tell me, but I must state in advance that I will not sell my body, even if I die, I can't." β
"Okay, I understand, I promise, that man won't actually get into your bed. As long as you use some means, perfunctory...... Next, do as I tell you to. β
Xuzhou Station.
A special train from the capital had just stopped, and a group of men in suits and leather shoes, carrying suitcases, stepped off the train in high spirits. There were more than forty people in this group, and in the middle of the bag was a man in his early thirties and dressed fashionably.
A pair of citrine glasses, a brand new suit, a black stone pipe in his mouth, and leather shoes are recognizable. His hands were empty, and all the luggage was held by the companion next to him, and this person looked forward to himself, scanning Xuzhou Station with a review-like gaze, and nodded while watching: "Not bad...... That's good. Don't look confused with Zhang Da braids, but Xuzhou still has a bit of a look, this place is ...... Promising. β
Those who can take the special train are naturally not ordinary people. Duan Zhiquan's brother-in-law, of course, is also qualified to criticize Xuzhou Station. Duan Zhiquan was originally married to Wu's early death, and the follow-up Zhang was Yuan Weiting's righteous daughter. Because of this relationship, he can only be regarded as a junior in front of Zhao Guanhou, and his words are a little awkward.
Although the Wu family died early, Duan Zhiquan's affection for the Wu family did not fade because of this. For example, this brother-in-law Wu Zitang, who was born in military training since he was a child, relies on his brother-in-law's affection, and Beiyang Zhengfu should also have a big and small idle difference. The purpose of his visit to Xuzhou this time is also very simple: he is here to make a fortune. He knew very well that Zhao Guanhou would eat this piece of land, and the military, government, and finance would definitely appoint private individuals, and if he wanted to enter such a critical department, he would definitely be bored, so he chose to have both oil and water, and there was not much at stake: tobacco and alcohol inspection and supervision.
In order to care for the national physique, the company implemented a monopoly on tobacco and soil. Only by smoking legal soil can we ensure good health, and if you want to come to those tobacco houses that have not been taxed and licensed, the tobacco soil used must be of poor quality, and smoking is harmful to health. Only the tobacco soil stamped with the official seal of the Gonghe Zhengfu is the real blessing ointment. Wu Zitang knows very well that there is a lot of oil and water to be fished in this part, and as long as he shares a few percent of the profits, it is enough to make a windfall.
Yu Duan Zhiquan didn't care how much money his brother-in-law could get from Xuzhou, all he wanted was to lay a nail in Xuzhou. Although the matter of Xuzhou's concession was forced to become a fact, he could still do something to bury a secret stake beside Zhao Guanhou. Although the power of a tobacco and alcohol inspector and supervision is not great, as long as he can make friends with important military and political officials in Shandong, he is not afraid that he will not be able to find out the news about Shandong, and his own layout in the future will also be of great benefit.
Wu Zitang didn't go directly to receive the seal, he knew in his heart that the people below were much more difficult than the people above. If you come with great fanfare, the other party will definitely be respectful to you, but you can't get any oil and water.
The method he chose was to conduct a secret investigation, first find out the situation of the inspection department, and then go to get the seal, so that he would not be afraid that he would not be able to get benefits. The group did not go to the guest house for a private visit to the microservice, and found a hotel to live in. The high-end hotels in Xuzhou are now difficult to book a room, and in the end, an attachΓ© found a way to find an old relationship before he had a house. He went out for an hour and came back sweating profusely
"Supervisor, hurry up and send a telegram to Jingli, and let the general send you a new letter of appointment. This tobacco and alcohol inspection department does not have a lot of oil and water, and now the most profitable project in Xuzhou is the railway! If you want an official rank in a road bureau, you can get money immediately. β
"Railroad? Of course, there is a railway here in Xuzhou, but it is all divided, how much oil and water is there? β
"No, it's the new railway. General Meng of the Ministry of Communications wanted to rebuild the original railway, and extend the route, repairing it to Mukden in the north and Chang'an in the west. Fearing that bidding in the capital would attract interference from external forces, General Meng chose to hold a bidding meeting in Xuzhou, and also set up an institution in Xuzhou to redeem the right of way from foreigners by issuing bonds and raising private funds. In the future, the Longhai Railway, both official and private, and many businessmen will come for this matter and want to make a fortune in it. We can't let go of such a great opportunity. β
On the shopping street, pedestrians come and go, and newly opened storefronts are one after another. Among the pedestrians, there is no shortage of well-dressed and fashionably dressed businessmen. In terms of prosperity and liveliness, compared with the capital, it is not much worse. Foreigners with high noses and deep eyes walk back and forth, pointing and pointing, and seem to be planning something. The whole city, giving a sense of prosperity and full of energy.
Wu Zixin nodded while looking at it and said:
"In this place of Xuzhou, there is oil and water, and there is a lot of oil and water. Originally, I thought that Zhang Yuan had scavenged the financial resources here, but now it seems that on the contrary, under the rule of Zhao Guanhou, this is a cornucopia. β
"Yes, the superintendent is the brother-in-law of the president, why can't the surnamed Zhao take care of it? Let's not ask for much, how can we have a 10% stake on the railway, right? Mix a hand in material procurement, and then find some ways to recruit workers, so as not to worry about not being able to make a fortune. β
"That's right, get rich, everyone get rich!"
Wu Zixin was saying this, when his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes were fixed on the side of the street. I saw that a noble woman, dressed in a dress, and full of pearls, was slowly walking out of a store dealing in cosmetics. This woman, she knows: it is the name of the capital who performed a lingering love story with Cai Feng, Xiao Afeng!
Several entourages knew Wu Zixin's habits well, and hurriedly said: "General Office, now is the time to do big things, you can't miss a big thing for a woman." When we make a windfall, we don't have to worry about finding a woman......"
"You know what. Making a fortune and finding a woman are complementary to each other, and only when the official has peach blossom luck can he have financial luck. Xiao Afeng, who has been with Cai Feng, if I can be her guest in the curtain, what a face-saving thing? Besides, she carried a debt of two million for Cai Feng, and it is estimated that she has at least four or five million savings. As long as she is coaxed, it will not be a problem to get 1.8 million yuan, and see that Wu someone will come out, and he will get both personal and wealth. β
When the Spring Festival was approaching, General Manager Wu's office and several attachΓ©s, who had returned from a great victory, were protected by the guards in Shandong and returned to the capital by special car. As soon as he entered Duan's house, Duan Zhiquan threw the newspaper over and covered his face
"You kid is getting better and better! Unexpectedly, for Xiao Afeng, in a few months, he lost more than 60,000 yuan in public funds, and even opened a note to let people withdraw money from the Bank of Communications. Now even the handle has fallen into the hands of people, do you say that you are stupid or not, this kind of thing, can you write casually? The withdrawal slip you wrote was directly stabbed to the newspaper office, and all the newspapers in Beijing were published. Do you know how much I was blamed, how much I was scolded? Shandong sent troops to escort you, which is actually equivalent to escorting, this is a slap in the face! Zhao Guanhou made a fuss about this, and did not welcome the government to send people to Xuzhou, and the petition group in Xuzhou also came to Beijing to protest, and the entire Xuzhou, just because you couldn't control yourself, became the iron bucket of the Zhao family! You, you, stay at home, don't let me go. β
Duan Zhiquan was not angry, but thinking of his wife Wu's early death, if this brother-in-law was wronged, it would inevitably make people feel that they were unkind. A long sigh
"You, just stay at home for a while and avoid the limelight. In the future, if you encounter something, you have to increase your brains, and the person surnamed Zhao will deceive you with a beauty trick. I really didn't expect that as soon as you left the capital, they were prepared. Nominally, they are all Beiyang factions, but in their hearts, they treat me as a thief, it seems that Zhao Guanhou is angry with Feng Huafu after all, and he doesn't take me in his eyes, Shandong...... Originally, I wanted to talk slowly, but now it seems that I have to do the right thing. β
