Chapter 431: Women's Bank (Part II)
Chen Yunqing had the name of a good person in Songjiang before, giving clothes and medicine, doing a lot of good deeds, and also had a set of experience in charity. But no matter what, Zhao Guanhou invested such a large amount www.biquge.info of capital, but he was willing to let his father-in-law preside over it, which made Chen Lenghe feel very useful, lowered his head, and whispered thank you, and his hand was already held by Zhao Guanhou.
Jensen laughed secretly, Chen Lenghe's experience was still insufficient after all, and he only saw who was running and ignored the publicity. Anyway, when the time comes, the newspapers will write that Zhao Guanhou has generously donated money and set up charity with millions of dollars, and this reputation will definitely fall. In the general affairs of managing donations, he has no skills, and he has to hand it over to outsiders, and he takes the initiative to say it, and he is beautiful.
There is no need to expose this matter, only to know it in his heart, and Jenson said: "According to my thoughts, since the head office of Zhengyuan Bank is located in the concession, it should also be invested by foreign capital, so that it can be regarded as a modern bank in the true sense." Warby Bank has a 10% stake in Zhengyuan Bank, and banks such as HSBC, Citigroup, and Lever also have some shares in Zhengyuan. In this way, Zhengyuan itself has both official power and Taixi shares, and it is impossible for Songjiang Dao to be unfavorable to the bank in the future. ”
Chen Lenghe shook his head, "Madam, I have an idea, the bank is not called Zhengyuan Bank, it is called Shandong Zhengyuan Bank." ”
"Shandong Zhengyuan Bank? Why is that? ”
Chen Lenghe's face flushed slightly, "Because...... Putting the husband's surname in front is also part of international practice. ”
The combination between her and Zhao Guanhou was originally forced by the form, but at this time, it was a willing expression. Zou Xiurong couldn't help smiling beside him, "Hello fourth, Leng He took the initiative to change his name to Shandong Zhengyuan, this name, I think it's very good, so it's decided." Leng He, the second sister-in-law will be a helper for you when the time comes, are you welcome? ”
Several people laughed for a while, Zhao Guanhou was not easy to say, he had mastered the shortcut to her heart, and he was not afraid that Chen Lenghe would not give in. Instead, he asked: "Since it comes to Songjiang Dao, has Liu Yanbei's defense been delivered?" ”
Jensen nodded, "I have sent the self-confession he wrote to the Consul General of Albion, and sent the copy to the capital, Albion's Minister to China, Zhu Erdian, and the Prussian Minister to China, Rex, have both said that they will not sit idly by and ignore this matter, and must make a solemn statement to the Daikin Foreign Ministry." Songjiang Dao like Liu Yanji will not help the exchange between Jinguo and other countries in the world, and will not be welcomed by the concession. If the Imperial Court insisted on appointing him as Songjiang Province, the consulate would refuse to negotiate with him and prohibit him from entering the concession. ”
"This method is good, the most important difference in Songjiang Road is to contact the concession, if the consul general refuses to enter the concession, this Songjiang Road will never be possible. Cai Huang brought 150,000 silver into Beijing to do some work, maybe there is hope to return to office, and when the time comes, with his care, our work of Shandong Zhengyuan Bank will be better done. ”
Chen Lenghe said: "In terms of the composition of Shandong Zhengyuan's shares, in addition to the foreign capital part, I want to sort out the bad debts of the money banks in the market. It is nothing more than that the loans issued by the money bank cannot be recovered, and the deposits and loans owed by the money bank cannot be repaid. Then we can convert a part of the deposits and arrears into the creditor's shares in Shandong Zhengyuan, and convert it into a debt-to-equity swap as a repayment of a part of the debt. At the same time, we will deal with the debts lent by the bank, according to the situation. For example, those bad debts, we can buy them at a certain discount, and then send someone to collect the debt. If there is no cash, it can be repaid with machinery, land, or even technology. Of course, the valuation part is up to us. For example, in a small family, if we owe a debt, we can pay off the debt. Although raw silk will change color after a long time, we have a downstream mechanism that can weave silk into silk, and we can avoid losses. Even antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all of these things can be used to pay off debts. Of course, this requires the strength of the government and, if necessary, the power of the Ministry of Industry in the concession, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve. ”
Zou Xiurong said with a smile: "Not only rely on these forces, but also the power of the Cao Gang. Leng He, the second sister-in-law sees that you are not very old, listening to novels, you are a very kind person, can you do such a thing as debt collection? ”
"Second sister-in-law, I understand the truth that mercy is not in charge of the army, of course I have kindness, but I also don't lack determination. Doing good deeds is to save the poor, collecting debts, and ensuring business, I will distinguish the importance of this, and I will not put the debts that should be collected in the past for the sake of kindness. Now in Songjiang, on the outskirts of the city, hundreds of thousands of people are waiting for help, and I don't have time to pay attention to the lives of one or two of them. ”
Once the matter is finalized, there is more work to be done, one is to find people, the second is to run the formalities, and the third is to do preparatory work to build momentum. Xiaoxiao and Anne are in Zhao's house, and it is easy to find. After Chen Lenghe talked to them for a while, neither of them had any opinions and was willing to join Shandong Zhengyuan Bank to work.
Zhao Guanhou contacted the special train to Jiangning, and after getting on the train, Chen Lenghe said: "Xiaoxiao is no problem over there, she is alone now, she doesn't even have a place to stay, and she even wants to be my girl." I just want to have a full bite of food without betraying myself, and I can have a place to sleep. I asked her to work in a bank, and she didn't have much to say. Anne's situation was a little more troublesome, she ...... Probably like you. ”
“…… Heaven and earth conscience, I have never done anything. ”
"yes, it's your business that you haven't done anything, and it's her business what she thinks. I didn't say it explicitly, but I could feel her thoughts. What's more, when she moves to your house, she actually has no way out. Now she's moving back and saying you haven't touched her, and someone has to believe her. Hmph, I know now, fooled. Sister Hanzhi didn't want me to go home that night, so it turned out that she was also cutting me off. I was confused, I didn't think about this layer at all, and now I just figured it out. …… Sister Hanzhi is so good to you. ”
Zhao Guanhou smiled: "What, regret it?" ”
"Yes, I regret it, but it's too late. But I warn you, don't beat Anne's bad idea, I'm going to introduce her to a good husband, and don't let you harass my employees. ”
The wood is already in the boat, not to mention that there is Zhengyuan and Shantang in front of him, of course Chen Lenghe will not really turn his face for this matter, she is also a very smart woman, she naturally knows when to lose a little temper, which can enhance her taste, and it will not be really self-defeating.
Then she said: "Anne's work can be done by Dai Shibo." Anyway, you have to save Zhengyuan, and Zhaohe's situation is very dangerous. In order to protect himself, Dai Shibo will listen to whatever you say, and it is not a big deal to let Anne go to the bank to do things, and Anne listens to her father the most, so she doesn't have to worry about what she says. It's the other people in the girls' school, it's more difficult to find, maybe ...... I also need to use that fourth. ”
The situation is stronger than people, and most of the outstanding students in some girls' schools, after encountering great changes, have been reduced to Huile and started a leather and meat business. Whether voluntarily or forced, to find them, they can't do without the help of the head snake.
Debt collection also requires the participation of the Cao Gang's forces, and at this time, Chen Lenghe also understood Su Hanzhi's intention to persuade him to intercede for Pinxiang Lao Si that day. Maintaining a good relationship with this kind of person can really make a big difference when needed.
She was a little sad again: "What if...... If you hadn't just come that day, I'd either kill myself or die with those people now. Although it is better to fall into the hands of a bad person like you now, it is better than falling into that kind of place, in the final analysis, I still have to thank Sister Hanzhi, and thank you. ”
"Between us, there is no need to say any thanks." There were only two of them in this carriage, and Zhao Guanhou's hand unceremoniously wrapped his arms around Chen Lenghe's waist, "When I come back from Jiangning, I want to invite people from the local newspaper industry in Songjiang to dinner, and Chinese newspapers and foreign newspapers must be invited." Didn't your second brother apply for work before? What newspaper did he like, and told me that I would talk to my boss and promise to let him go back to work. If you don't like to work for people, then open your own newspaper. ”
Chen Lenghe knows that the more he owes such a favor, the tighter his bond with this man becomes, no matter whether the Chen family can really revive the family business in the future, it is reasonable, he is not qualified to go to court, and it is untenable in public opinion.
But this kind of help, I can't refuse, no matter what, the second brother needs a job to deal with that mean sister-in-law. She shook her head and said:
"The temper of the second brother is not suitable for him to be his own boss, you find a newspaper that is not big or small, can tolerate absenteeism for three days, come to do it when you are happy, don't show your head if you are not happy, write things all by your own mind, just don't bow to others. Of course, this newspaper must be in the concession, otherwise, he may be arrested and imprisoned by the government. ”
"Dare! Whoever dares to catch my brother-in-law, I will send him in first with a clip. Don't you know, Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangjiang, is an old friend of me......"
Chen Lenghe smiled slightly: "You don't have to be like this...... Although I advocate equality and equal rights between men and women, I must also be reasonable. Being your Mrs. Songjiang is of my own volition, and I won't do such a thing as going to court, you don't have to. You've done so much for me, and I can't get enough of it. ”
"There's nothing wrong with this, I'll try to help my women. What's more, this little thing is nothing, let me tell you how Zhang Renjun and I met. ”
Listening to Zhao Guanhou talk about hugging calves, talking about Shandong, and talking about the Flying Tiger Regiment and the Xuanhua War. When the two got off the train from the station, Chen Lenghe looked at Zhao Guanhou's eyes, and there were already a little more complicated emotions. Perhaps, I should have a good understanding of this man, there are too many things in him that are worth digging up by yourself.
Jiangning is the place where the governor of Liangjiang is stationed, when Hong **** was prosperous, it was also used as the national capital, although the degree of economic development is not as good as Songjiang, but it is still densely populated, and the business is prosperous. Before departure, a telegram had been sent, and as soon as the train got off the train, a timber officer from the governor's yamen picked up the station, brought a team of horses, and escorted the two to the yamen.
Gao Sheng and the guards went to contact the inn, and then went to the governor's yamen to prepare for the meeting. Zhao Guanhou is not worried about security, with the power of Zhu Erdian and other ministers, even if he borrows a few courages from Zhang Renjun, he will definitely not dare to disadvantage himself.
The south is more civilized than the north, and the Yamen, the governor of Liangjiang, has more dealings with foreigners, and even the layout behind the second hall has some houses built into Taixi-style houses. The place where Zhang Renjun met guests was in such a Western-style room.
In addition to Zhang Renjun in the signing room, there was another person who followed Zhao Guanhou outside Xuanhua City and fought with the Tiele people. During the Battle of Xuanhua, he was very deadly, and he was wounded in several places, but he killed a Tiele general. What's more, when he seized it, he found a Lehrer cart loaded with a box of jewelry. This box of jewelry has become his trophy and his developed capital.
Cixi ascended to heaven, the new monarch ascended the throne, and Zhang Yuan used a box of jewelry to dot Xiaode Zhang, and recognized him as his own family. For Xiao Dezhang's mother, he is particularly filial and recognizes the old lady as his godson. With the protection of Xiao Dezhang's mother, Xiao Dezhang is in front of Long Yu, so he naturally wants to praise him. In addition, Long Yu urgently needs to win over the generals for his own use, and he is like a fire with Zhang Yuanguanfu, and now he has become the governor of Jiangnan.
This is the highest military governor in the southeast in the Dajin system, although the rank is not as good as the governor of Liangjiang, but the authority is enough to control the old army in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and it is not much different from Zhao Guanhou.
Jiangning's armed forces include the Ninth Town, which was formed by the former Liangjiang Self-Strengthening Army, and the patrol battalion, which is commanded by Zhang Yuan. His official rank is from the first grade, which is not lower than Zhao Guanhou, but after meeting, he rushed forward, dusted off his horseshoe sleeves and asked Shuang'an to "mark the Jiangnan Admiral Zhang Yuan to give a salute to Guanshuai, Guanshuai Gonghou Wandai, just around the corner!" As he spoke, he had already raised his handbook high above his head, as if it was a salute for the lower officials to meet the upper officials.
Zhao Guanhou smiled and helped him up, "Don't come with me, your current official rank is not below me, I can't afford this courtesy." ”
"Otherwise, we don't compare rank, we have to compare status. You are the forehead of the ten masters, and if you only rush this one, the end will always be a subordinate in front of you. Moreover, when you were in Xuanhua, you were the official of the last general, and when it came, you were the official of the last general, which could never be changed. You can't forget your roots, if you don't recognize your old boss as soon as you get up, can you still be considered a person? ”
Zhang Renjun smiled, "Guanhou, he is this temper, he can't change it, he has something to say sit down and say." Who is this young lady? ”
Chen Lenghe and others reported their names, and Zhang Renjun held his forehead with his hand and thought for a moment, "Zhengyuan...... Oh, I remembered, isn't Shi Dianzhang's case involving Zhengyuan? The imperial court is selecting ministers to thoroughly investigate the case, and Zhengyuan will definitely investigate it. But...... Since you are Brother Zhao's aunt's wife, there is nothing to worry about, no matter who comes in Jingli, I will resist it. As long as I am in the position of Governor of Liangjiang, I cannot let others suffer. ”
Since the new monarch ascended the throne, the Yuan family is not as good as before, and Zhang Renjun also has the imprint of the Yuan family, but his position is not obvious, and he has no handle as a person, so he can still be in power. But now the banner people always want to replace the provincial governors with the banner people, and Zhang Renjun's life is also quite sad for the Han people to be crowded out day by day. Naturally, he attaches great importance to the incense of the old Beiyang, and hopes to help each other.
Zhao Guanhou made a lot of trouble in Shandong, and it was not beneficial to the dignity of the imperial court, but for Zhang Renjun, it was a great thing. As long as Shandong is famous, other governors can also bargain with the imperial court, so they are very kind to Zhao Guanhou.
As for the official business of running the bank, as soon as he took it out, he didn't look at it, so he ordered his subordinates to take the key, and then opened the box and used the seal to cover the governor of Liangjiang. Then he asked, "Is there enough money in the bank?" If necessary, I can borrow foreign debts from foreigners in the name of the Governor of Liangjiang to raise the share capital. I know that the elder brother Tai gambled against the Tiele people, and Yibao collapsed Daosheng Bank, which is the biggest bet of my Dajin since the founding of the country. The money earned is a lot, but the expenses are also large, and the market in Songjiang must be stabilized, and it is easy to say that the money is used. I'm just afraid that in the future, I won't be able to solve the problem with money, and at that time, there will be real trouble. ”
Zhao Guanhou said: "I can still find a way to deal with the silver, if I really can't do it, I have to ask for help from the army." But I don't understand too much, we have a telegraph office in Jiangning, and we also have Daikin Bank, both of which are places where there is money, so why borrow foreign debts? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan had already taken over the words, "Don't mention it, my lord, these two places ...... Hehe, I'm afraid the warehouse is empty, and I can't make up much money. Even our defense battalion has now begun to underpay! (To be continued.) )
