Xu Run was a little weak, and he was really separated by Hu Chuyuan, and there was no lack of worry in his heart.

But he was scared after all!

He still smiled and said: "Hu Shao's words have been exaggerated, after the Steamship Bureau acquired the shipping company of Qichang Foreign Company, it is now the largest shipping company in East Asia, and I hold 20% of the share capital of the Steamship Bureau, Boss Tang and the rest of the businessmen have a total of 40%, and the official shares are only 40%...... It's just a little bit of a million taels owed to the government, but it's not a big deal, and my position in the steamship bureau is still very stable. ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "Okay, take me as an example, if Zuo Zhongtang wants to raise the official shares of the firm to 30%, do you think I can refuse?" ”

Xu Run said: "I'm afraid not." ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled: "Then you are not the same." After all, I am a close confidant of Lord Zhongtang, and so is my father, and my family business is passed down from generation to generation, and I am the son-in-law of Governor He, can you compare with me? ”

Xu Run was helpless and said, "I really can't." Do you have a way to deal with this? ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "There is no way, but I estimate that the official shares of Jiangnan Commercial Bank are at most thirty percent, and Zhongtang will not ask too much, and Governor He will not agree." ”

Xu Run said: "That's the same. ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled: "This is just the first hidden danger. The second question is that sooner or later I will enter the steamship industry, and I have already talked about this matter with Lord Nakado, so I will use the Jiangnan Steamship Bureau as my trading name. With my capital to enter the steamship industry, I don't know how long Boss Xu can support it? What's more, I even have to make tea, at that time, I'm afraid I will offend Boss Xu! ”

Xu Run was completely speechless, he regretted that he was frightened.

This is good, Hu Chuyuan frightened him.

Seeing that he was even more hesitant, Hu Chuyuan continued: "The third hidden danger, Boss Xu is known as the king of Chinese land in Shanghai, and his assets are claimed to be more than 10 million, but as far as I know, you mainly rely on debt to buy land, and constantly pledge the land to the money to buy new land. China is also a country with many disasters, although the territory is vast, the military is not strong, and it has been bullied repeatedly, in case there are other European and American powers sending fleets to fight, Shanghai will definitely bear the brunt, and the land price will plummet, at that time, I don't know if Boss Xu can still support it? ”

"This ...... It's still hard to say such a thing, what kind of business is not risky? ”

Xu Runqiang smiled and ignored it, but he couldn't help but say: "However, I still have to thank Hu Shao for his kindness, it's just ...... Hu Shao, since you can see it so clearly, is there a solution? ”

Hu Chuyuan waited for his words, and immediately said: "The solution is a little, since I want to enter the tea industry and the shipping industry, why doesn't Boss Xu join forces with me, let's join forces." I want to vacate two shares of Jiangnan Commercial Bank to Boss Xu, on the condition that your tea house, tea number and shopkeeper guys are all merged into Jiangnan Commercial Bank, and you also want to buy the shares of Boss Tang and other businessmen in the steamship bureau and merge all of them into Jiangnan Commercial Bank. ”

Xu Run was taken aback, and thought, you little rabbit cub has such a big appetite, I have worked hard all my life to have these family businesses, and you want to swallow them all in one sentence?

He didn't dare to say it to death, so he could only say with a cold face: "Hu Shao, your ambition is really not small!" ”

Hu Chuyuan sneered and said: "Boss Xu, I already have the resources of the political and business circles of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, such a big market will give you 20%, salt, rice, camellia, cotton, silk candy and shipping are all profitable, do you have anything to refuse?" ”

Salt rice, camellia, cotton silk sugar.

This is such a big breath, but Xu Run knows that Hu Chuyuan is afraid that he can do it.

When the time comes, where will there be a foothold for him in the Jiangnan business community.

Thinking of this, Xu Run had to sigh: "There is really no reason to refuse...... Childe, I'm afraid I can't toss as much as you. ”

Hu Chuyuan was already determined to swallow him, and said, "Boss Xu, after all, doing business is about union. I have the talent to deal with silk, rice, salt and money, and you have the talent to deal with tea and shipping, and it is better for everyone to be in harmony than to compete with each other. As long as you want, I will let you be the deputy general office of Jiangnan Commercial Bank, with full responsibility for tea and shipping business. ”

At this time, Xu Run really had no reason to refuse, he had to sigh: "Hu Shao, Yanshu said that your surname is withdrawn, and you don't like to be with others, and once you become big in the future, you will become a disaster." Unexpectedly, he is half right, in fact, you are not a lonely surname, but you disdain to be in the company of others. With your talent, there are probably not many people in China who can compete with you! ”

This is a compliment, that is, Xu Run himself found another step down.

If you want to say that Hu Chuyuan's ability and intelligence in doing business, there are many people who are better than him, at least Tang Tingshu can trap him.

It's just that Hu Chuyuan's backer and background are too strong, and his financial resources are too strong, and he is mainly anti-guest, but he defeated Tang Tingshu.

Hu Chuyuan stretched out his hand and said to Xu Run: "Then it's decided, Boss Xu, Deputy General Manager Xu, I'm waiting for you in this Jiangnan Commercial Bank to conspire for hegemony in the world!" ”

"Good!"

Xu Run was determined, stretched out his hand and shook Hu Chuyuan, and said, "From now on, Xu's half-old life will be handed over to Gongzi." ”

Hu Chuyuan laughed and said, "Okay, then let's work together and fight together!" ”

"Hmm!"

Xu Run nodded very definitely, and after thinking about it in his heart, he really felt that it was a good deal.

In any case, Hu Chuyuan's political background and financial resources are incomparable to others, and originally, Xu Run also felt that Hu Chuyuan was nine deaths...... Unexpectedly, in just half a month, the three giant businessmen Tang Tingshu, Zhang Songxian, and Gu Shousong collapsed, not because they were defeated by Hu Chuyuan, but by Hu Chuyuan's background.

The resources of Jiangnan Commercial Bank are even more terrifying, and if they give him two percent of the shares, it will already be a huge profit, and all the investment will be recovered in three or four years.

In the world, where to find such a good business?

What about Hu Chuyuan?

Of course, he didn't want to give up two percent of the shares, but he also weighed it carefully.

Poaching Xu Run, in business, he can quickly expand the share of the tea industry and the shipping industry, especially the tea industry; In terms of influence, Xu Run is already the only remaining Chinese businessman in Shanghai, and if he is wooed, he can smoothly set foot on Shanghai Tang, which is of great benefit to Hu Chuyuan's education and industry; Politically, it can play a role in drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle for Li Hongzhang's steamship China Merchants Bureau.

I can't ...... it!

Hu Chuyuan estimated that he had the opportunity to wrest control of the Shanghai Steamship Merchants Bureau from Li Hongzhang, so that Li Hongzhang's influence on Shanghai Beach was almost wiped out, and his own territory in Beiyang was left from then on.
