Chapter 90—To Each His Own Way (10)

At the Wuchang wharf, a German-flagged freighter slowly docked, and the British blocked the passage from Wusongkou and Shanghai to Nanjing, allowing only foreign freighters to pass. The Nanjing Provisional Government was affected, and it was not easy to take back the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway.

The first to get off the ship were Gu Heng and Douglas, and Daoras, who had just returned to Shanghai from the United States, couldn't wait to come to Wuchang. There was already a car waiting on the dock, and it was Adjutant Duan Feng who came to greet him.

"Is the owner okay?" Gu Heng greeted him, and Duan Feng said with a smile: "The handsome man is very good, he went to Hankou for a temporary time, and he can come back in the evening." ”

The scene of the fire in Hankou was basically cleaned up, and a row of prisoners were kneeling on a large platform. There was a sea of people in the audience, and the people of Hankou had a blessing today, and Fang Dashuai openly tried the embezzlers in the process of relief in Hankow.

There were five people in total, including local officials in Hankow and local gentry. They adopted the means of shoddy quality and less relief to embezzle materials and rice grains worth more than 2,000 oceans.

Although Li Ziyun was not very reluctant, he still stood on the stage, read out the crimes of these five people, and announced that they would be executed by shooting, and they would be executed immediately. After such a situation, Li Ziyun can only stand on Fang Dashuai's boat and help each other, otherwise there are many enemies, and you have to be careful when walking in the middle of the night.

The common people are always very enthusiastic about watching the excitement, and it is also a murderous excitement, and it is even more crowded.

In the minds of the people of Hankow, Commander Fang was a good man. The previous Beiyang Army was all scum, and the original Governor was also a good-natured product. Well, it's better that Commander Fang doesn't go. That's what most people think.

At the sound of gunshots, five people fell, and in front of their chests were a bloody hole the size of a small bowl. The seventy-nine rifle shoots at close range, and the possibility of not dying is too small.

Before dark, Jianxiong crossed the river to Wuchang, and Gu Heng, who was the seer in the headquarters, did not inform Douglas. Gu Heng's trip brought a huge piece of good news. Since the revolution, Gu Heng has been instructed to prepare for the establishment of the Bank of China. Fang Jianxiong set up a mint in Anqing, and the machines were imported from Germany. Gu Heng came here for the purpose of sending samples and reporting work. The name of the Bank of China was changed by the Daqing Bank after the Republic of China. Fang Jianxiong has ill intentions. I felt that the name of the bank should be representative, so I took the name of the bank first.

I haven't seen each other for some days, Gu Heng was a little excited to see Fang Jianxiong, and he said from afar: "It's good to have a young owner!" ”

"How's it going?" Fang Jianxiong asked directly about the matter, and Gu Heng took out a stack of silver dollars from his pocket. He handed it over, "Look. This is a sample, the Anqing Mint made a total of 2 million silver dollars, all of which were stamped with a German machine. ”

Fang Jianxiong took a silver dollar and looked closely, the obverse was the Arabic numeral 1 yuan, as well as the Great Wall pattern, and the reverse was a lifelike dragon. Uppercase unary. On both sides, there are the words "Bank of China". On the front edge, there are also small words on the front edge of Kuping silver seven coins and two cents.

"Not bad. Well done. This is the most profitable thing in the world. This dragon seal is good, and this money will be called Long Yang in the future. Fang Jian's ambition was full of joy. The first step in printing money by myself was taken.

Gu Heng said: "The copper circle is the main profit, and there are a large number of copper circles in Anqing with five corners, two corners, and one corner, which are worth five million yuan. In my opinion, the silver dollar is a symbol of credibility. ”

"Good, good. The Bank of China is fully open in the two provinces, and you can take care of this stall for the time being, and I will hand it over when I find the right person. Fang Jianxiong said this not because he didn't trust Gu Heng, but because Gu Heng had a lot of things in his hands.

Speaking of this, Gu Heng smiled slightly and said: "Young owner, I brought a suitable person, this person is the manager of the Shanghai branch of Daqing Bank." Chen Qimei sent troops to force him to raise money for the Northern Expedition, and Song Hanzhang couldn't stay in Shanghai anymore, so he asked someone to find Eurasia Department Store. Then I quietly went to Wuhu, and this time I came and brought him with me. ”

Fang Jianxiong didn't know what Song Hanzhang came from, but since it was recommended by Gu Heng, he was naturally trustworthy. Gu Heng talked about the process of the two of them, starting from the contact that arose from the operation of Eurasia Department Store, and Song Hanzhang took the initiative to contact Gu Heng. The two get along quite well, but the business of Eurasia Department Store has been going to the Merlot Bank, and Song Hanzhang also means making friends. Gu Heng was quite interesting, and took care of some small business for Song Hanzhang, the purpose was also to be optimistic about this person's talent. Under Fang Jianxiong, there is no shortage of military talents for the time being, but there is a shortage of financial and operational talents.

Song Hanzhang fled Shanghai, ostensibly because of Chen Qimei's persecution, but in fact because of Fang Jianxiong. Chen Qimei wanted to send God, Fang Jianxiong opened his mouth and extorted 1.5 million silver dollars. Before purchasing arms, Chen Qimei was squeezed out of his family. Under the dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, Chen Qimei personally came to the door and asked Song Hanzhang to borrow money. The word "borrow" is casually said, and it is a dream that you expect Chen Qimei to repay the money. If it was 350,000, Song Hanzhang would pinch his nose and admit it. Chen Qimei opened his mouth with two million silver dollars, where is Song Hanzhang willing to do it? Although there is a bit of silver deposit in Daqing Bank, it is also a state-owned asset, isn't it?

Chen Qimei was furious, tied up Song Hanzhang, locked him up and forced him to ask for silver. Threatened: Take two million silver dollars to ransom people!

The Song family gave 500,000 yuan in a patchwork piece, but Chen Qimei still refused to give up, this money was not enough for Fang Jianxiong. Later, it was Wu Tingfang who came forward to vouch, and Chen Qimei let him go. (Note: There is indeed an incident in history, but it happened later, when Chen Qimei asked for 500,000 taels of silver and forced the Song Dynasty to sever relations with the Beiyang government.) Here's a little ahead, the story needs to. The person was released, Song Hanzhang still felt uneasy hiding in the concession, thinking that there was still a friend Gu Heng, so he was ready to send it to Wuhu to settle down with his family's small entrustment, that place was Fang Jianxiong's territory, and he didn't dare to make trouble with Chen Qimei's 10,000 guts.

Originally, Song Hanzhang still had the heart to serve the provisional government, but after this incident, he also died.

Gu Heng was preparing to establish the Bank of China, and Song Hanzhang came to the door, so he naturally agreed. He also said that he was preparing to build a bank, and said that if Song Hanzhang was interested, it would be better to join a molecule.

Song Hanzhang was not small, and after listening to Gu Heng's words, he said that if he could meet Fang Jianxiong and talk to Commander Fang about his views on the bank in person, it would not be impossible to consider joining in. Gu Heng immediately said that this is easy to do, just going to Wuchang, let's go together.

Without going into details, Fang Jianxiong heard that some professionals in the banking industry wanted to see him, so he naturally couldn't ask for it. Repeatedly: "Please, please!" Song Hanzhang lived in the headquarters with Gu Heng.

Gu Heng was originally talking with him, but Fang Jianxiong came back and left. Song Hanzhang was bored alone, so he walked around the headquarters. After walking a few steps, he was stopped by the guards, who kindly told him that there were many places in the headquarters that he could not move around, and that he could not go, etc., and let him go.

Song Hanzhang suffered a loss, and he was scared at first. I didn't expect to send people away in a few words, and I felt a little emotional. Just as he was strolling, Gu Heng came to him, and hurriedly took his hand and said, "The young owner heard that you were here, I am very happy, I want to see you immediately, come with me." ”

Song Hanzhang followed all the way, feeling a little apprehensive. Fang Jianxiong is a man of the moment today, and Song Hanzhang still admires him very much. There are many people who have returned from abroad, and I have not seen anyone who has made great achievements in industry and military in a few years. Far from it, as far as Shanghai is concerned, Eurasia Department Store is the most profitable serious business in Shanghai today, and there are many items made in Wuhu among the goods sold. What Song Hanzhang admires the most is that the business philosophy and methods of Eurasia Department Store all employ young women as salespeople, which is not an idea that ordinary people can have. What's even more rare is that Eurasia Department Store has strict rules and regulations, not only punishment, but also rewards. There is also the so-called corporate culture of the Eurasia Group, which makes Song Hanzhang have an irresistible attraction. For a long time, Song Hanzhang had the intention of seeing Fang Jianxiong, the initiator.

Fang Jianxiong stood directly at the gate of the courtyard to greet Song Hanzhang, and at a glance he saw this middle-aged man who was a little fat, wearing a pair of glasses, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like an honest man. This physiognomy is indeed very deceptive, and it is only appropriate to be a profiteer.

Song Hanzhang didn't rush forward, he also stopped and looked at Fang Jianxiong. A very young man, dressed in a regular military uniform, with an armed belt around his waist, and his hair was in the Western style, very dark and clean. With sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a smile on his face, and a tall and straight figure, Song Hanzhang needs to look up slightly to look at each other head-on.

"Song Hanzhang has seen Commander Fang!" With a plan in his heart, Song Hanzhang seemed neither humble nor arrogant, and bowed his hand.

Fang Jianxiong smiled, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Mr. Song can be said to be able to support the country in the lower country, Jianxiong is a martial artist, although there are two provinces under his rule, he is not very good at finance. As long as Mr. Song can join the Bank of China, the conditions can always be satisfied. ”

Fang Jianxiong's mind is very clear, Song Hanzhang doesn't care if he is a good person, as long as he can do a good job in the bank, Fang Jianxiong dares to use him, and he is the kind of use that he trusts. Song Hanzhang didn't expect Fang Jianxiong to be so direct, and he came up to say so much. I didn't know what to say on the spot.

"Commander Fang, what if I want shares in the bank?" Song Hanzhang felt that something was in his heart against his throat, and he couldn't help but say such a sentence, and he regretted it a little after speaking, and then waited with a little expectation.

"There is no problem at all in the case of shares, if it is just a person, I can give him three percent of the shares and appoint him as the governor of the Bank of China. The reserve of the Bank of China is 20 million oceans, and no matter how much he invests, he can account for up to 30% of the shares. Fang Jianxiong gave a bottom line very directly, and Song Hanzhang bowed his head and was silent.

At this time, Song Hanzhang's heart could be described as tumbling and tumbling, although he had Gu Heng's involvement, he was not familiar with Fang Jianxiong. As soon as it came up, there was such a strong atmosphere of trust, and a bank with 20 million reserves can be said to be the leader of domestic banks today. The position of the president is so directly placed in front of him, how can Song Hanzhang not be moved? (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
