After taking over the electric light company, Xiao Zhenlei temporarily handed over most of the company's affairs to Li Shulin to deal with, the construction of Zhenhua's factory building was managed by Hu Weishan and Wu Shirong, Song Shijie was in charge of the factory's recruitment, and Fast was looking for Western skilled workers everywhere in Shanghai, and he was ready to concentrate on entering the rubber stock market.

Since the beginning of this year, the stocks of various rubber companies in Shanghai have risen quickly due to the continuous transmission of the London rubber market by foreigners in Shanghai. Last year, the London rubber market was only 2 shillings per pound, and now it has risen to 5 shillings, and at this rate, it is estimated that it is absolutely possible to rise to 10 shillings by the end of the year, and London's rubber stocks will also rise. Now, whether in the Far East or in London, many financial oligarchs have not yet reacted, and many rubber companies have not sprung up in the future, Xiao Zhenlei decided to take advantage of this opportunity to take the lead in entering the rubber stock market.

At this time, the market of rubber stocks has just improved, and the share prices of Shanghai and the London rubber stock market have only appreciated for a short time, for example, the issue share price of Langezhi Rubber Company is about 60 taels per share, and now it has only more than doubled, which is also caused by the increase in international rubber prices, and many rubber company bosses are not aware that they can use this situation to raise the stock price, and after a while, wait for the bosses of these rubber companies to wake up. The market price is expected to rise to a point where it is hard to believe, so entering the stock market during this period to buy low-priced rubber stocks will cost much less positions, and the cost of entering after the stock price has risen to a certain level will be very large.

These days, Xiao Zhenlei asked Qin Liankui to find a private detective to investigate the large and small rubber companies on the Shanghai Beach, and according to the investigation, there are only a dozen rubber companies headquartered in Shanghai Beach, far less than the more than 40 later, and there are only more than 50 companies that grow rubber in Southeast Asia, which is still far from the later number of 122. Of the dozen or so rubber companies in Shanghai, only seven or eight of them actually have rubber plantations in Southeast Asia, and even the Langezhi Rubber Company, which was the first to open a company in Shanghai, does not have its own rubber plantation, and Langezhi is just a leather bag company.

Holding a thick stack of investigation materials, Xiao Zhenlei spent two hours carefully reading them from beginning to end, and after reading them, he put down the materials and looked at Qin Liankui on the opposite side and asked, "Mr. Qin, are these materials true?" Even the first Lange Zhi company was just a leather bag company, without a rubber plantation? This kind of joke can't be made! ”

Qin Liankui arched his hand and said: "Sir, I dare to guarantee that this is true, I have also read these materials, I was also shocked at that time, so I asked Mr. Ma Boyang of Xiaofu Detective Agency, Mr. Ma said that he happened to have a relative in Luzon, so he took a telegram and asked him to inquire about the origin in person, who knew that there was no so-called rubber plantation there at all!" ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Xiao Zhenlei is a little unbelievable, Langezhi Company has been established for five or six years, and no one has ever suspected that it is a leather bag company, you must know that this company is the most powerful rubber company in Shanghai, and the foreign devil in Maibian actually deceived other shareholders?

After thinking about it, Xiao Zhenlei asked, "What is the origin of this Ma Boyang of Xiaofu Detective Agency?" He investigated my past few times so quickly, it seems that his ability is not ordinary! ”

Qin Liankui said with a smile: "This Ma Boyang is indeed not ordinary, I want the Qing court to send foreign students to study abroad, originally there was him, but I don't know who went through the back door to squeeze down, he was not angry in his heart, it just so happened that his family was not short of money, so he stalked at home, and wanted his family to pay for studying abroad at his own expense, those students went to the United States, and he went to England at his own expense, and spent a little money to be an auditor at the Royal English Police School, and later the school saw that he worked very hard, and his grades in all subjects far exceeded other British students. Therefore, he was officially accepted as a student of the school, and after he graduated, the British wanted him to stay in office in view of his excellent grades, but he refused, and then returned to China, but he was useless after returning to China, and we did not have a patrol bureau in the Qing Dynasty, and when Cixi Lafayette issued an edict to recall students who went abroad to study, he was not called, but came back after graduation, and the adults on the official side did not dare to use him, but he did not get depressed because of this, and in the case of having nothing to do, he did not want to waste what he had learned. So he opened a detective agency in the concession, it is said that the deputy inspector of the police department of the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession Mai Gaoyun is still his classmate, he can open the detective agency in the concession, thanks to his classmates, but his own ability is undoubted, otherwise he would not be able to investigate the matter you confessed so quickly! ”

"Oh? Deputy Inspector General of the Public Concession Police Department, Mak Ko Wan, is his classmate? Xiao Zhenlei was a little surprised, and then said: "Since he has this relationship, why should he open a detective agency by himself, instead of looking for Mai Gaoyun to get a position in the police department?" ”

Qin Liankui sighed: "There may be a reason for his self-esteem, or maybe he has the idea of not wanting to do things for foreigners, who knows?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded: "Well, this person is good, I have time to ask Mr. Qin to introduce us to each other, I admire a talent like him the most!" ”

"Okay, it depends on when Mr. has time!"

After sending Qin Liankui away, Xiao Zhenlei thought about it for a while, and then asked Wu's mother to find Fan Zhiyong, the account room.

Fan Zhiyong quickly rushed over, and saw Xiao Zhenlei bowing his hand: "Sir, I heard that you are looking for me?" ”

"Oh, Mr. Fan is here? That's right, recently I want to use money, the amount is relatively large, in addition to the three million taels for building a factory, buying a machine and raw materials, how much silver does our family have to use? ”

Fan Zhiyong, as a professional bookkeeper, heard that the owner was calling, of course he carried the account book with him, and now when he heard Xiao Zhenlei ask about his family background, he quickly took the account book and flipped it up, and said after a while: "Sir, in addition to the three million taels, there are still 700,000 taels left in the account!" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Zhenlei touched his chin when he heard this, thought about it, and ordered: "Now our family's expenses are also large, so let's leave 50,000 taels for emergencies, and the remaining 650,000 taels you prepare for me, I will use it at any time!" ”

Fan Zhiyong hurriedly agreed: "Okay, sir, if there is nothing else, Zhiyong will step back first!" ”

"You go, by the way, tell the dog by the way, let him prepare the carriage, and say I'm going out!"

…….

Yan Laojiu's mansion.

"Master, the second master is here!"

Yan Laojiu, who was lying on a deck chair in the garden, stood up with a small purple clay pot and hurriedly said, "My brother is here?" Quick, come here! ”

Before the person who reported the report agreed, Yan Laojiu heard Xiao Zhenlei's hearty laughter coming from outside the gate of the garden: "Boss, don't be invited, I'll come in by myself!" ”

"Go get someone to serve tea!" Yan Laojiu waved his hand to Jia Ding and sent him away, then turned to Xiao Zhenlei and said, "I said brother, you haven't come to see my brother and me for a few days, I was thinking about whether to go to your house to ask for a cup of tea, but I didn't expect you to arrive, come and sit!" ”

Not long after Xiao Zhenlei sat down on the stone bench in the garden, a maid came over with a bowl of tea, Xiao Zhenlei took the tea and said "thank you", and after the maid left, he took a sip and put the teacup on the stone table and said with a smile: "Boss, I can't hide it, I didn't come to see you today, but to borrow money from you!" ”

"Hey!" Yan Laojiu slapped his thigh and said, "What should I do?" Didn't I say I was going to give you two million taels last time? It just so happens that I've been keeping this money for you! I'll take it with you when you go back! ”

"Don't, don't!" Xiao Zhenlei hurriedly said: "Boss, I really can't take what you give, I said, I'm here to borrow money, there is borrowing and repaying, it's not difficult to borrow again, although we are brothers, but it's better to be clear in terms of this money, and I borrowed not a small amount, two million taels is a little less!" ”

Yan Laojiu frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Okay, then how much do you want?" ”

"At least five million taels!"

"Five million? Brother, what are you—what are you going to do? Didn't you say you had enough money to open a factory? Where do you need so much money? Yan Laojiu was taken aback, his entire net worth added up to only eight or nine million taels at most, and many of them were real estate, he was already the top richest man on the beach, and only people like him who opened underground casinos on the beach could take out so much living money, and several other top rich people couldn't take out so much cash even if they had such a net worth.

Xiao Zhenlei pondered for a while and said: "The younger brother is ready to enter the stock market, the current market is good, if you enter, you will have a lot of money, and you will have several times the income in a year and a half, if the boss is also interested, I will count you as a share, and when the time comes, I will make money, in addition to your principal, we will add two to five, how about it?" ”

"Don't, don't!" Yan Laojiu put his head like a rattle, and he said: "I've heard of this thing about stocks, but I know it, it doesn't know me, I think it's better to forget it!" ”

After saying that, after thinking about it, Yan Laojiu said: "Brother, I can indeed take out five million taels of brother, but you also know that my brother's underground casino sometimes needs to use a large amount of cash, so I must leave some money for reserves, so let's do it, I will give you three million taels, and the profit is yours, if you lose, you don't have to pay it back, what do you think?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, so he had to say: "Come on, you have said everything about this, what else can I say, okay, but I have made money, there will definitely be your share!" ”
