The banker is the banker, the look of surprise was fleeting, lying lazily on the leather chair, playing with the pipe and said: "Chief of Staff Yan, this object should not be gold, if I guessed correctly, it should be a copper seal, brass is not valuable, I am afraid that it is not enough to pledge." ”

Yan Su said: "It doesn't matter whether this thing is gold or copper, what matters is that he represents the jurisdiction of the territory of two thousand square kilometers north of the Huai River. ”

Gong Jiaxiang said: "As far as I know, the jurisdiction of the Jiangbei Protector Envoy Office is only limited to the county seat, and the surrounding areas of Nantai are still under the control of bandits from all walks of life. ”

Yan Su said: "Yes, at present, we do only control the county seat, but there are some things that you don't understand or deliberately ignore, just a few days ago, five thousand bandits surrounded the county seat of Nantai, and at that time, there were only twelve newly recruited farmers under the command of the Protector Embassy Office, and they couldn't even use rifles, but do you know what happened later?" ”

Gong Jiaxiang straightened up, "Please speak, I'm very interested." ”

"Two days later, the bandits left hundreds of corpses and fled, we not only repelled the bandits, but also incorporated a local bandit, organized into a battalion of army, and bloodlessly disarmed the 11th Regiment of the Provincial Army that took advantage of the fire to rob, and shot 40 rebels who disturbed the people, I want to ask General Manager Gong, this kind of courage, this kind of means, isn't it worth your investment?" Yan Su spoke slowly, but every word hit the heart of the Gong family's uncle and nephew.

Gong Zijun listened to the rise, waved his fist and said: "Maybe we are not strong now, but we have the people's hearts and morale, uncle, give us a loan, you will not be disappointed." ”

Gong Jiaxiang said: "Zijun, listening to your tone, it seems that you have already helped in the office?" ”

Gong Zijun said proudly: "I am now the logistics director of the office, with the rank of major. ”

Gong Jiaxiang nodded and said, "Okay, I was persuaded by you, 30,000 oceans can be withdrawn immediately." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Gong Zijun couldn't help but be overjoyed, he was very happy that he had succeeded in doing things for the army envoy for the first time.

But Yan Su shook his head: "General Manager Gong, 30,000 yuan is just a turnover, and what I want to borrow is not this amount." ”

Gong Jiaxiang frowned: "30,000 is not enough, do you want to borrow 100,000?" ”

Yan Su stretched out his hand and flipped over: "Twice, two hundred thousand." ”

200,000 oceans!

Gong Jiaxiang sat up straight, looked at Yan Su seriously, Gong Zijun also gasped, looked at his uncle, and then looked at the chief of staff, and finally his eyes fell on the bronze cast Guan Fang, he suddenly woke up, today's meeting should have been planned by the military envoy and the chief of staff a long time ago, on the grounds of borrowing money, it was intended to take out a loan, and it was a huge amount of money.

"200,000, if you use it as a gift, I'm afraid it's too heavy." General Manager Gong stared at Yan Su's eyes and said.

Chief of Staff Yan was calm: "The 30,000 yuan given as a gift is calculated separately, and the 200,000 yuan is a loan in the name of the Protector Embassy Office, which is used to open mines, build bridges, and build railways. ”

"What mine? What bridge? What railway, from where to where? Gong Jiaxiang sat up straighter, and picked up an American pen and turned it in his hand, Gong Zijun knew that this was his uncle's habitual action, and he did it whenever he encountered big business.

Yan Su talked eloquently: "Nantai since the Ming Dynasty has a mine supervisor, coal and iron resources are abundant, the white coal produced in Nantai, once the Huaijiang shipping sought-after goods, only because of the bandits raging, the government is not effective, the minerals are buried in the ground in vain can not play a role, now the Ministry of War set up Jiangbei to protect the army, is to crack down on bandits, appease the locality, with General Chen Zikun's thunderous means, the elimination of bandits is only a matter of time, at present we are doing is to take precautions, in advance to plan economic development. ”

Gong Jiaxiang nodded, his expression was solemn, he is also from Nantai, his family is rampant with bandits, and the people are not happy, so he is not worried.

"Mining coal and iron ore, but can not be transported out is also in vain, Jiangbei terrain is remote, surrounded by mountains and Huaijiang River, there is no road, no railway, crossing the river can only rely on manpower ferries, but also worry about the threat of water bandits, so the military envoy decided to build an iron bridge on the Huai River, and at the same time build a railway, north of Longhai Road, south of Jinpu Road, personnel and goods can be circulated, the economy can be developed, the standard of living has gone up, education, health, people's livelihood problems are naturally solved, the people live a good life, Is there anyone else going to be bandits? ”

When Gong Jiaxiang heard this, his blood was already boiling, and he couldn't help but high-five and praised: "What a development plan, I would like to see this protector with my own eyes, this general must be a respected Confucian general." ”

Gong Zijun said with a smile: "Uncle, the military envoy is a few years older than me. ”

"What?" Gong Jiaxiang obviously couldn't believe it.

"General Chen studied at St. John's University in Shanghai and Peking University, and later studied military affairs at West Point in the United States. Yan Su said indifferently, and continued to knock on Erlang's legs, blowing the non-existent heat leisurely, he knew that this trip had been a great success.

Gong Jiaxiang was very excited, pacing back and forth in the room, and said: "I thought that the one who occupied Jiangbei was a martial artist who was a reckless soldier, but I didn't expect it to be an ambitious international student, okay, great, my long-cherished wish for many years can finally be realized, but for the careers you mentioned, 200,000 oceans may not even be a drop in the bucket, and the railway, this is a big deal, and the State Council has to nod it." ”

Yan Su said with a smile: "We have all considered these, 200,000 yuan is just an early investment, and when the underground iron ore and high-quality white coal are dug out, the money will roll in, as for the issue of railway project approval, General Manager Gong does not have to worry, General Chen's father-in-law is Mr. Yao Qizhen, the current vice president of the Bank of Communications, Mr. Yao has been the deputy minister of transportation, and has a lot to do with the transportation department, so, you know, hehe." ”

Gong Jiaxiang suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is still this relationship, I am too worried, by the way, since General Chen's father-in-law is the vice president of the Bank of Communications, why ......?"

Compared with Bank of Communications and Huijin Bank, it is like the difference between whales and banks, no wonder Gong Jiaxiang doesn't understand, with such a backer, why do he still come to find his own small money boss.

Yan Su smiled and pointed at Gong Zijun: "Zijun is our logistics director, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and this opportunity must always be reserved for his own people." ”

Gong Jiaxiang patted his head: "Understood." said a self-deprecating smile, I thought that people were using their relationship with the Gong family to fight the autumn breeze, but they didn't know that they were here to give themselves a chance to make a fortune.

In other words, people come to borrow money to give themselves face.

"Zijun, uncle blames you, by the way, where do you live, it's better to stay at your uncle's house tonight, anyway, there are so many empty houses." Gong Jiaxiang warmly invited.

"We stay at the Dahua Hotel, and we have an appointment in the evening, so let's not bother my uncle and aunt." Gong Zijun said.

Yan Su said: "It's all my own family, you're welcome, by the way, in the evening I made an appointment with Zhang Pengcheng, the adjutant of the Overseer Office, he is my classmate of Baoding Wutang, if General Manager Gong has time, why don't you go together?" ”

Gong Jiaxiang said: "That's the best, I'll arrange it, I'm familiar with the provincial city." ”

"Then there is General Manager Lao Gong." Yan Su smiled heartily.

……

That night, Gong Jiaxiang did the east, in the provincial capital of the most famous fireworks place four archway to find a hall, the old bustard saw the familiar customers coming, the smiling flowers and branches went up to greet, led them into the room, called a group of warblers Yanyan to serve, peel nuts, pour wine to make tea, burn tobacco bubbles, serve very thoughtful.

Gong Zijun is a college student, he has never been to this kind of occasion, and several thirteen or fourteen-year-old people saw that he was shy, and even grinned and leaned on him, so scared that he almost ran away.

Yan Su said: "Zijun, you are our logistics chief, a dignified major officer, you can't have stage fright." ”

Gong Jiaxiang said with a smile: "Yes, now when we talk about business and business, we are talking about business on the wine table in the brothel, the cigarette is collapsing, and the office is just a decoration, by the way, Chief of Staff, you have been in the War Department in Beijing, what is the atmosphere over there?" ”

Yan Su said: "Beijing, Shanghai, Hankou and Tianjin, all the same, not to mention ordinary businessmen, even those chief and deputy ministers, at night, all in the eight alleys, must not run." ”

A burst of laughter.

"Oh, who should I be smiling so heartily, it's all General Manager Gong of Huijin Bank." With a burst of laughter, Zhang Pengcheng arrived, he changed into a silk trouser gown, and the placket was decorated with a gold watch chain, looking not like a soldier, but like a businessman.

When the main man came, everyone talked about things while drinking, and they didn't shy away from those kiln sisters at all, these women are very professional, and they don't have to worry about them talking nonsense everywhere.

Asking someone to intercede and blow the pillow wind, Zhang Pengcheng is obviously proficient, he is the adjutant director, although he has little power, but he can be regarded as the person next to Sun Dujun, he is exquisite, and the interpersonal relationship is excellent, Yan Su can be regarded as finding the right person, and after some negotiations, the specific details were finalized, and it can be implemented only when Gong Jiaxiang's funds are in place.

After talking, he started to play mahjong, and the four of them happened to be at the same table, Gong Zijun was a little hesitant, because he didn't like gambling, but after looking at Yan Su, he still sat down at the card table.

"Director Zhang's watch chain is so bright." When shuffling the cards, Gong Jiaxiang seemed to praise it inadvertently.

"yes, 18k Russian gold." Zhang Pengcheng said with some smugness, the gold chain on his chest shining magnificently under the light.

Playing and playing, Zhang Pengcheng threw out a card, and Gong Zijun shouted: "Hu! ”

"Haha, old classmate, you fired the gun." Yan Su laughed, but the foot under the table gently kicked Gong Zijun.

Gong Zijun was very ignorant, continued to play cards, this time he had a heart, no longer presumptuous to win, and he noticed that the uncle who usually has high card skills has not touched himself once today, and also threw good cards, so that the next director Zhang ate enough.

Looking at the more and more chips in front of Zhang Pengcheng, he finally understood.
