Ye Zuwen said: "General Wang, this Liu Hongsheng is young and promising, and he has been friends with Ye for almost three years. ”

Wang Zhenyu said: "You respect him so much, what is this person's ability?" ”

Ye Zuwen said, "Please rest assured that this person's ability to do things is also one of the best in the industry, with vision, courage, and means, which can be called contemporary Shen Wansan." ”

Wang Zhenyu nodded: "Anyway, it's not a big deal in Nanjing, and it's also haode to go to Shanghai to meet this business wizard." ”

Wang Zhenyu suddenly thought of another thing: "Ye Lao, there is another news, I feel that it is an opportunity, I heard that after the transfer of power in Nanjing, the provisional government will move north, and a left-behind government will be established, with Huang Xinghuang as the left-behind guard, and it is estimated that 300,000 people's troops will be dismantled and dismissed on a large scale." Don't be surprised, I've calculated, even if it's ten oceans per person, this severance pay is estimated to be about three million. ”

Ye Zuwen didn't figure out what such a large severance pay had to do with him, but since the first transaction, he was full of confidence in the young man in front of him, so he didn't interject despite some doubts.

"It's been half a month since I came to Nanjing, and according to my observations, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, our Chief Huang will definitely not be able to take out such a large sum of money, and if you can't keep it, you will have to make a mess." Wang Zhenyu stood up and paced back and forth in the room as he spoke.

Ye Zuwen couldn't help but speak: "General, what do you mean, you want to help Chief Huang?" ”

Wang Zhenyu was stunned for a moment, smiled and waved his hand: "How can I have such a great ability, but in my opinion, once so many troops are dismissed, the large number of arms left behind can be exchanged for money." If these hard goods are in the hands of General Chief Huang, it is estimated that they will not be exchanged for the ocean, and the result will be nothing more than being thrown into the arsenal of Nanjing waiting to rust, or they will become anyone's trophies if they are not kept in the future. But Ye Lao, in your hands, I estimate that I can get at least seven or eight million money. ”

Ye Zuwen was stunned, he roughly understood, "General Wang, what do you mean, let's still trade with those princes, but this Manchu is gone!" ”

Wang Zhenyu said with a smile: "Hehe, the Manchu Emperor has abdicated, but the Zongshe Party is still there, we can have a preferential price, 100,000 guns, 80 oceans each." As for those princes, you are responsible for contacting them, I guess they will definitely be willing to trade with us. ”

This period of history Wang Zhenyu is clear, the princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all rich and rival countries, such as the Prince of Qing who has no face, no ancestors, and wants money for death. When he fled into the concession, he was worth a full 100 million oceans. Even if the other princes are honest and honest, it is estimated that there is no less, it is nothing more than the number of years in power, which is not as good as Prince Qing. It is estimated that it is not a big problem to make a fortune and buy some arms or something. After the abdication of the Qing Emperor in history, the Zongshe Party had purchased arms and shipped them to the Northeast to prepare for a comeback, but unfortunately Zhang Zuolin copied them all, and the result was that the restoration could not be completed, but it helped the Feng warlords to complete the original accumulation of capital.

In retrospect, this is really ironic. If you know today, why bother in the first place?

The regent of Weishenme had to cede power to Yuan Shikai? It was not all because Yuan Shikai had prestige in the six towns of Beiyang, but because the imperial court did not have the money to mobilize the six towns of Beiyang to suppress the revolution.

So the strangest scene in history appeared: on the one hand, the largest vested interest group, the princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, were rich and flowing; On the other hand, the imperial court was so poor that it was only 80,000 taels of gold that it emptied the entire inner treasury.

To give an inappropriate example, if at that moment the princes can really have a little dedication, think of Nurhachi, the ancestor of the Aixin Jueluo family, and then have some relatives who are both prosperous and loss-in. took out his own body and money to support the imperial court that had fattened them, and the wealth of King Qing's family alone could send out the six towns of Beiyang and suppress the revolution several times. It's a pity that the privileges have been enjoyed for too long, to the point of raising people into pigs. Everyone has in their hearts that this Qing Dynasty is the business of your family's alcohol royal family, what does it have to do with us? Our silver was also hard to find, and it was not easy. The ending of zuihou is naturally a chicken and egg beating.

Therefore, reflecting on history, the great Qing Dynasty was not overthrown by the revolutionary party, but was defeated by its own greed and shamelessness.

One word, rotten, rotten to the bone.

However, after losing their privileges and losing their qualifications to continue to be pigs, the princes who returned to the world repented one after another. It's a pity that it's too late, look at yourself, what else is there besides the money you got by using your privileges? Restoration was naturally on their agenda, and power became especially valuable only after it was lost.

Wang Zhenyu's whimsical idea was immediately recognized by Ye Zuwen, but it was not so easy to operate in practice. One of the most critical points is how to persuade Huang Xing to agree to sell the arms to fill the hole in the severance pay. You must know that the biggest hope that Huang Xing is struggling to support now is to complete the aftermath of the big loan in the background, and then send the severance expenses down as promised. As long as this hope remains, the biggest obstacle to arms reselling is none other than Huang Xing.

There are many good things, and Wang Zhenyu is not in a hurry, he first sent Ma Xicheng to take leave, and threw the training of the troops to Yang Wangui, Xu Yuanquan, Wan Yaohuang and others. He changed into civilian clothes and took Ma Xicheng, Zhao Dongsheng and other guards to Shanghai to visit Liu Hongsheng, a business wizard who was vigorously recommended by Ye Zuwen.

As soon as he got out of Nanjing, Wang Zhenyu remembered the Liu Guojun and Liu shopkeeper of Hefeng Grocery Store that he met in Changzhou. Don't look at the fact that he is still a small shopkeeper of a grocery store, in Wang Zhenyu's opinion, it is just that the time has not yet come. Isn't the golden scale a thing in the pool, and it turns into a dragon in the wind and rain.

He asked Ma Xicheng to take his token (the jade pendant given by Liu Guojun) to find this golden scale, in Wang Zhenyu's opinion, this is also a business wizard, since he has promised to recruit for himself, it is better to use it together this time.

Wang Zhenyu has been here for almost half a year, and his thinking has gradually been clarified, to achieve a career, the most important thing is money, and the second is talent.

Among them, this talent is far more important than money, not only to be able to fight, but also to have a talent who can make advice, but also to have a talent who can make money for themselves, and so on, all of which are indispensable.

Ma Xicheng and Liu Guojun had not yet arrived in Shanghai, and Wang Zhenyu had already met Ye Zuwen's old friend Liu Hongsheng at the train station. This person is young, but he is only 24 years old, and he is only two or three years older than himself. The facial features are very delicate, with red phoenix eyes, Qiaolan eyebrows, not tall, and a well-fitting suit is full of capable atmosphere. If you don't look closely, it is actually a little similar to the photos of Wang Zhenyu who saw the four major students of Peking Opera in later generations. This appearance surprised Wang Zhenyu, not to mention anything else, just this appearance, if this young master changes his career to sing Xiaosheng, it is estimated that he will be popular, of course, the premise is that fake singing is allowed.

What surprised Wang Zhenyu even more was that through Ye Zuwen's introduction, he learned that Liu Hongsheng, who was only 21 years old three years ago, was still a small clerk, and this person was very bold to take over the business of the Kaiping Mining Bureau in Shanghai and become its salesman in Shanghai. You must know that at that time, Kaiping Coal in Shanghai could not open the market at all, but this Liu Hongsheng took over, not only did it, but also made a small success in three years, occupying a certain market share. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, and Wang Zhenyu admires the somewhat rouge Brother Liu in front of him.

But Liu Hongsheng's impression of Wang Zhenyu is not very easy to say, before they met, Liu Hongsheng had already received Ye Zuwen's telegram. Liu Hongsheng has a bad problem in business, and he doesn't like to make friends with important people in the military and political circles, because in his opinion, these people are greedy animals, and the generals with heavy troops in their hands make him extremely boring. In his opinion, what is the point of going to meet a rude warrior who is a trader?

But this time, Ye Zuwen did pull himself a lot when he entered the industry, not only to introduce himself to the relationship, but also to borrow money to help him win the Shanghai agent of Kaiping Coal. Such kindness, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, no matter what, face must be given.

Recently, I have the idea of expanding the coal business, but the capital has become a big problem, thinking about it, in the current turbulent situation, the way I can make up the money is the recent rise in Wuhan's status, already known as the East Yu West Ye Boss Ye, so he agrees with Wang Zhenyu.

The first time they met, Liu Hongsheng was polite to Wang Zhenyu brought by Boss Ye, but there was obviously a detachment in this politeness. Wang Zhenyu, who is a second person, doesn't care about these things, after all, he has been doing real estate for so long in later generations, and he knows what it's like to interact with people. It is absolutely impossible to follow the general mode of traveling through novels, exuding the spirit of the king and the eight kings, and then many heroes will take the initiative to vote!

This shijie is very realistic, relying on strength, and no matter how beautiful it is said without strength, it is nonsense.

Wang Zhenyu was very confident in reining Liu Hongsheng, but he didn't rely on the pitiful force in his own hands.

Because if it is a competition of force, the most valuable people in China at present have to start with Yuan Shikai, as for Wang Zhenyu, who does not even have a territory...... Well, a small warlord can't be counted, only a small military leader. And in terms of the strength of this small army leader, it is estimated that the total ranking list in the country is outside seven or eight hundred, (Wang Zhenyu asked with tears in his eyes: "Am I that bad?") The attraction of talents is estimated to be a little stronger than that of local tyrants and inferior gentry.

Wang Zhenyu's confidence comes from a message delivered by Ye Zuwen, this Liu Hongsheng seems to need money now, a lot of money. In this unpredictable time, all those who have a little money are tightening the money and changing it to the currency of foreign devils and keeping it still. Even banks are very cautious in lending money, and they are as powerful as Yuan Shikai and foreigners talk about aftermath loans like squeezing toothpaste, not to mention other people. This is not a foreigner picking the door, it is really a turbulent situation, the future is unpredictable, and there is a possibility that the money will not be recovered if it is released. So, the hardest thing to do now is to borrow money.

Wang Zhenyu thinks that except for himself who is rich at the moment, no one can help Liu Hongsheng.
