Baoding Station, located in the west of Baoding City, is the first major station after the Pinghan Railway went out of Beijing, but under the management of the Chinese, this station with a history of only ten years looks a little dilapidated.

A businessman in his fifties, dressed in a long robe and holding a cane, walked briskly out of the chaotic station, accompanied by a long entourage.

"Master, would you like to rest in the store for a while, or will you go straight to errands?" A black carriage parked outside the station approached, and a butler in his forties jumped down from the carriage and said earnestly, "The store has prepared food and drinks." ”

"Go straight to the Overseer's Office, and then go to the store in the evening." Zeng Guangsheng sat in the carriage with the support of Chang Sui, waved his hand and said. Over the years, Zengfu's business is getting bigger and bigger, Baoding as the provincial capital of Zhili is naturally also a more important business base of Zeng Ji Commercial Bank, all kinds of shops, pawnshops have opened more than 10, real estate also has two or three, how can the old man here come a few times a year, but this time it is not for the business field.

"Drive!" The butler commanded, the coachman roared, and the carriage drove quickly into the city. In this era, automobiles were far from being popular, and the main means of transportation was horse-drawn carriages. Although the Zeng family said that the business was not small, the old man Zeng had always been more economical, so except for Jingshi and Tianjin, which each had two cars, the rest of the places could only travel by horse-drawn carriage.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the Zhili Governor's Office, and the old man Zeng stepped out of the carriage.

"Master, I'll wait for you outside!" The butler asked tentatively.

"No, send someone to pick me up in an hour." Zeng Guangsheng shook his head and said, it is estimated that the errand should be completed in an hour.

"Stop!" The trip didn't go well from the start, and as soon as he reached the gate of the Overseer's Office, he was stopped by the vicious guards.

"This big brother soldier, my lord is a guest invited by Fifth Master Cao." The chief of the Zeng Mansion hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It has been agreed a long time ago. ”

"Fifth Master Cao? It's Cao Wuye's guest again, and this is the Overseer's mansion, not Cao Wuye's mansion. Guard A sneered and said, "There are so many people entering and leaving the Overseer's Office under the banner of the Fifth Master these days!" ”

Cao Wuye is Cao Kun's younger brother Cao Rui, he has the deepest relationship with Cao Kun, in the early years he learned to do business in Dagu Yusheng Rice Village, as Cao Kun's official became bigger and bigger, his business became bigger and bigger, and now it is the money bag of the entire Cao Mansion. Bureaucrats and businessmen from the outside world want to go through the back door of Cao Wuye, and they must first clear the pass of Cao Wuye, so since Cao Kun became the Zhili Overseer, more and more people have entered and exited the Overseer under the banner of Cao Wuye.

"Please also ask my brother to be accommodating!" Governor Zeng naturally understood this rule with Zeng Liu, and secretly stuffed two pieces of ocean for the guard armor.

"Wait, I'll go in and give a shout, I won't be able to eat if the fifth master is not there." The guard armor immediately changed his face when he got to Dayang, but he still didn't dare to let Old Man Zeng in directly. Not long ago, a revolutionary party pretended to be Cao Wuye's relationship and tried to sneak in and assassinate Cao Overseer, but he almost succeeded, and since then the gate of the Overseer has become much stricter.

"Master, this Cao Overseer's shelf is really big, those ministers and deputy ministers in the capital heard that the master is coming, which one didn't open the door to greet him!" Governor Zeng muttered casually.

"Rest easy." Zeng Guangsheng said calmly that he had not seen any situation in the business for decades. I think he has already made a name for himself in the Tianjin business community back then, isn't Cao San, the master of the Overseer's Military Administration, still working as a cloth dealer in the East Market! Now he has a lot of power, and he is much more prominent than the ministers and deputy ministers in the capital who only know how to sell their mouths.

"The two of you are very sorry, Cao Wuye went out early in the morning and has not returned yet, so the two of you can only wait." The guard came out of the gate in a hurry, and said embarrassedly. …,

"Little brother doesn't matter, can you help with it, just say that the owner of Tianjin Zengji Commercial Bank asks to see." Zeng Guangsheng personally stepped out and took out five pieces of ocean from his sleeve and stuffed them.

"Master, I'm really sorry. I really don't dare to accept this small money, and now Cao Dashuai is very busy and doesn't see customers. "The guard armor stared at those few pieces of the ocean, but he never dared to take it, the ocean is a good thing, so it has to have a life flower!

"Little brother take it, I'll wait outside for a while." Zeng Guangsheng still stuffed the ocean to the guard armor and pushed it outside the door to wait.

"Master, you're tired, I'll move a bench for you!" The guard armor said attentively: "Fifth Master Cao should also come back!" ”

Zeng Guangsheng's master and servant had no choice but to wait stupidly outside the door, and this wait was an hour.

"Master, let's go back first! This Cao Wuye is also unreliable, and he is obviously an appointment. Governor Zeng said with Zeng Liu: "In the past, I didn't know how much I took advantage of our Zeng family. ”

"The blind one is speaking ill of me." A black Ford pulled up in front of the Overseer's office, and the guards rushed over to pull the door, and a stocky man in his forties staggered down.

"Fifth Master Cao, you're finally here." Zeng Guangsheng fixed his eyes and saw that it was not an old acquaintance, who else was Cao Rui.

"Boss Zeng, why are you here?" Cao Rui saw that it was the owner of Zeng Ji Commercial Bank, and he also leaned over enthusiastically, and halfway through the walk, he suddenly remembered something apologetically and said, "Alas! Look at my memory, I actually forgot. ”

"You people too, Boss Zeng is my guest, why don't you invite you to wait inside." Cao Rui blamed himself and lashed out at the guards at the gate.

"I don't complain about these little brothers, I'm waiting outside." Zeng Guangsheng said disappreliantly: "I don't know if Cao Dujun has time to see me?" ”

"Yes, of course!" Cao Rui said in a big way: "I'll take you over now!" ”

After following Cao Rui, the two came to an inconspicuous courtyard, and heard the sound of playing mahjong in the distance.

"Third brother, it's called again, why don't you talk to me." Cao Rui led Zeng Guangsheng to break in with a big grin, and Cao Kun was fighting with his two aunts and wives and Quartermaster Li Yanqing, and he didn't raise his head when he saw Cao Rui coming in.

"Eighty thousand!" Cao Kun waited for a long time and finally made a deck of cards, and played the single card with great ambition.

"I'm!" Cao Kun's third aunt said excitedly: "Dashuai, you fired the cannon again." ”

"No more playing, no more playing!" Cao Kun's face changed and he said angrily: "Why do you fool me every time!" ”

"No Hu Dashuai, Hu Who's, we are big eaters!" Cao Kun's two concubines said happily: "The handsome man has to play tricks every time!" ”

"Didn't you see that I was going to be busy with business!" Cao Kun pouted at Zeng Guangsheng and said, "Play again at night!" ”

"Da Shuai is just stingy!" Although the two concubines were unwilling, they had to leave in a huff, and when they left, they grabbed a large handful of oceans in front of Cao Kun.

"Dashuai, you have something important, I'll leave first." Li Yanqing also got up to leave.

"Come back, come back!"

"You can play mahjong, right?" Cao Kun stopped Li Yanqing and casually asked Zeng Guangsheng, who was standing beside him.

"A little." Zeng Guangsheng said cautiously.

"Come up and fight together!" Cao Kun said that he had already started mahjong.

"The skills are not perfect, don't laugh at me!" At Cao Rui's suggestion, Zeng Guangsheng sat down at Cao Kun's house and started mahjong.

"Thirty thousand!" Zeng Guangsheng played a seemingly random one.

"Eat!" Cao Kunle said.

"Gojo." Zeng Guangsheng pretended to be unintentional again.

"I'm, seven pairs!" Cao Kun jumped up with a child. …,

"Da Shuai is really lucky!" Zeng Guangsheng sighed and said.

"Little meaning, small meaning, let's continue!" Cao Kun smiled and put the banknote handed over by Zeng Guangsheng into his pocket.

…………

"Six cylinders!"

"I'm nonsense again, a dragon!" Cao Kun's front was already full of banknotes and yellow and white things at the moment.

"Dashuai's fortune is really prosperous!" Zeng Guangsheng sighed and said, "If I beat me again, I'm going to go out naked." ”

"What's your surname?" Cao Kun, who won a red face, only then thought of asking his home.

"The contemptible Zeng Guangsheng is the owner of Zeng Ji Commercial Bank." Zeng Guangsheng stood up and clenched his fists and said, "Please take care of the big handsome!" ”

"It turned out to be Brother Zeng, no wonder it looks a little familiar." As soon as Cao Kun heard that it was an old man, he put down the cards in his hand and stood up and said: "I haven't heard for many years that my brother's business is getting bigger and bigger!" ”

"I'm just making a small fuss, where is the big handsome to lay this huge foundation." Zeng Guangsheng said complimentally.

"Brother Zeng is really good at talking, just say anything directly." Cao Kun said refreshingly, Boss Zeng lost 10,000 or 20,000 oceans to himself when he came up, and Cao Kun would not be so stupid as to really think that his luck was good.

"This, this ......" Zeng Guangsheng looked at Li Yanqing and said in a slurred manner.

"Yanqing is my confidant, just say anything." Cao Kun said impatiently, it is rare for him to be happy today, as long as Boss Zeng's request is not too excessive, he will be ready to respond.

"I'm helping people to be a lobbyist, and the specific content will be known after reading this letter." Zeng Guangsheng didn't dare to handle it, and quickly took out a bag from his arms, which contained a letter and some other things.

"As a sian, Brother Zeng plans to change his career." Cao Kun took the bag with a smile, opened the letter, and read it quickly.

"This letter is right at first glance!" Cao Kun is a big boss, but he doesn't know a word, but he hates those crepe letters very much, and he doesn't know what the other party wants to say in the clouds, and this letter from the head of Tang in front of him is quite straightforward.

"Brother Zeng's road is really wide! I haven't had a chance to see this rising star yet, so I let Brother Zeng catch up. After reading it, Cao Kun laughed noncommittally.

"Tang Ruoshui is the dog's best friend, and Guangsheng has no choice but to be a guest of this time." Zeng Guangsheng also asked with a smile: "I don't know what the big handsome thinks." ”

"Although Tang Ruoshui said that he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, he was also generous." Cao Kun took out the deed in the bag and said with satisfaction: "I can't be too stingy and let the water go for nothing." ”

"Thank you Dashuai Yucheng for this!" Zeng Guangsheng didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly.

"Fifth brother, which cloth shop did the army purchase military uniforms hand over this time?" After talking about this matter, Cao Kun suddenly asked Cao Rui again.

"It's for Lin Kee Firm." Cao Rui couldn't understand why the third brother suddenly asked about this in front of outsiders, this time more than 20,000 people under the Zhili Overseer Army wanted to make two sets of military uniforms in summer and autumn, which was also a big business.

"Take it down and do it for Brother Zeng!" Cao Kun said lightly.

"Thank you Dashuai, no wonder the people in Quanzhili say that Dashuai ......" Zeng Guangsheng was almost stunned by falling from the sky, how can these tens of thousands of military uniforms make a lot of money.

"Say I'm kind!" Cao Kun laughed and said: "We have also been businessmen, and we still need the rule of buying and selling what you pay for." ”

If Commander Tang is here, it will not be surprising at all, in that time and space in the future, Cao Dashuai's president was bought with money. (Continue to ask for recommended collections, thank you for your support)
