Chapter 864 A Matter of Course
Chapter 864 A Matter of Course
After the clap, Chen Ping was very uneasy for a few days, and his father was as towering as Mount Everest to him. I can't see clearly, and I can't catch up. can only silently do things within the scope of his ability, waiting for his favor. For Chen Ping, making a major decision on the direction of business without asking for instructions in advance will be extremely painful by his father's thunderous anger.
Quiet, after a few days of silence, Chen Ping couldn't help it, and under the pretext of visiting his father who had returned from Xishan, he came to the door to ask to see him.
The request went smoothly, it seemed that nothing had changed here, and the hostess here was still eating and chanting Buddha in the nunnery in the backyard as usual. Since the Yangzhou assassination case, this rhythm has not changed. It's hard to explain Zhu Yujiao's mentality, even if Chen Xie won't be angry with her, he can't face it, right? The heavenly family is ruthless, and in this gorgeous mansion, the romance is a little extravagant.
"The eldest prince is here, please come in." The attitude of the guards at the door is still the same, others naturally come here to report it, Chen Xie has no such rules for his son. When he arrived at the door of the study, Chen Ping stopped, and the guard smiled apologetically and went in to report.
After a while, Chen Ping was led in, and Chen Xie was washing his face in the study, and when he saw him come in, he raised his hand to signal him to wait.
"Actually, I don't really want to see you come at this time, but unfortunately you still came." As soon as Chen Xie spoke, Chen Ping knew that he was wrong, and suddenly a hot current stirred in his chest, and he understood what his father meant. As the president of Dafa Bank, who holds the most shares, can't he make a decision on such a thing? In that case, why put him in this position?
"Son......." Chen Ping choked up as soon as he said two words, and tears couldn't help but overflow out. Chen Xie smiled, motioned to the maid to hand over the towel, and waited for him to wipe it before saying, "Don't think too much." The bank is up to you in the future. What you have to do is to use the resources and manpower at your disposal to conduct the necessary market research before making a decision. Rather than this time, the meeting did not come up with information to convince others. Make decisions with a sense of will. ”
"My son was taught." Chen Ping bowed slightly and said, "When I turn around, I will go to the old man's house to apologize, and then mobilize manpower to analyze the pros and cons." Come up with a reasonable plan and submit it to everyone for consideration. ”
"That's right, be bold in doing things, but don't mess around. If you come up with a reasonable plan, but everyone still quarrels, dragging down the interests of the whole for their own selfish interests, then you have to show courage. Chen Xie taught again. For the son, it is still believed that he should evolve within the rules.
"I made the rules now, and you will also make the rules in the future and let others do things within your rules." Don't think about this sentence now, write it down, and go back and think about it slowly.
Chen Pingru, who walked out of the door, was reborn and strode into the car full of energy. Back to the office. Gather people immediately, just one task. How to avoid risks to the greatest extent. The high-spirited Chen Ping, after a busy afternoon, went to the shareholders and the old man's mansion to visit one by one.
Mira, who was anxiously waiting, finally got a clear answer. In fact, it is just a sentence: there is a carriage waiting for you outside the door.
I didn't even have time to dress up carefully, so I simply cleaned up. Mira rushed out the doorway. This is an opportunity that will benefit the family for fifty years, and I really dare not be careless and miss this opportunity. This family, which seems to be still first-class, is close to decline in its bones, mainly reflected in the decline of economic ability.
No matter how prominent a family was in the past. It's only a matter of time before there is no money and it will fall.
The carriage left the pavilion, and after driving for about ten minutes, it turned into a small alley in the middle of nowhere. It was not Chen Ping who greeted him at the door, but a woman. This is the place where Liu Yiming keeps his house, not that acquaintances don't know. There are some confidential things, Liu Yiming arranged to discuss here, and now this place is taken over by Chen Ping. Mira got out of the car and entered the door, saw Chen Ping standing on the steps, bowed down and said, "Hello, I'm glad to get your invitation." Chen Ping smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome, come in and talk." ”
Mila stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Chen Ping's arm, this move made Chen Ping slightly stunned, this is French etiquette, let her go. The two of them stepped into the door, which also symbolized another layer of meaning.
There was no one else in the study, Chen Ping said politely, picked up a document on the desktop and said, "Look carefully and record the main contents." Tomorrow you have a hurdle to pass, which is to face all the officers and shareholders of the bank, explain the idea that you want to lend money, and the many benefits that can be brought to the bank, which is clearly written, you just need to remember. ”
This kind of domineering style of doing things makes Mila very uncomfortable, and when she thinks about it carefully, she has no capital to bargain. If this guy comes in and takes off his clothes first, he can still be coquettish and so on to fight for the right to speak, and now it seems that there is obviously no such opportunity, so he has to do what people say, otherwise he will have to give up this opportunity.
Of course, Mira refused to let go of this opportunity, why was Madame Rambouillet so popular with the aristocracy, wasn't it because she had a supply of luxury goods? How can a nobleman who has money and can bring benefits to everyone not be popular?
Opening the file, Mira sat down silently, which had been thoughtfully translated into French. Mira sat there motionless for an hour, and when she raised her head, she glanced at Chen Ping, who was sitting on the side holding a book in his hand, and said, "I've written it down." Chen Ping looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Yes, I will write it down in an hour." Tell me, what do you think? ”
"Can I object to some of these provisions?" Mira asked, Chen Ping smiled and did not answer. Mira whispered knowingly, "Okay, I'll take it all, but ......." Chen Ping interrupted coldly: "No, however, you must say what is said above, otherwise I don't guarantee that your loan intention can be achieved." ”
"Well, no but." Mira was hit a little by this decisive refusal, but she didn't feel disgusted, but felt that it was the charm of the man in front of her. "Some things are hard to do, and I need help."
This time Chen Ping nodded: "Yes, if necessary, you can contact the North Atlantic Detachment of the Ming Empire." After speaking, Chen Ping took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over: "Remember, you can only use it once, just take the envelope and find the European ambassador." ”
This domineering work. It's full of courage. Rich and powerful, handsome, Prince Charming's template is right in front of you. Mira gritted her teeth, stood up and looked at Chen Ping and said, "What about me?" Chen Ping stood up with a smile and said lightly: "This house will be yours in the future, and now I have something to go out for." Let's talk about it in the evening. Of course, you can also choose to leave, and no one will stop you. ”
Chen Ping just left, and Mira, who felt this man's other temperament, fell into a deep entanglement. After picking up the document again and reading it carefully, Mira chewed on one of the passages repeatedly, and was obliged to persuade the French government to allow the Dafabet Bank to open a branch in the French Empire. This is time-limited and must be fulfilled within five years.
Now that the decision has been made. Then don't look ahead. Mira stood up and made her decision, feeling much happier. This time it can be said that it is a big gamble, if she can't bring huge benefits to the family, not only will the family lose its existing social status, but the individual will also lose its existing rights and glory in the family's infighting.
I was finally in the mood to inspect the house, the study was large and full of books. Pity. Mira couldn't read a word. When he went out, he saw the maid in the carriage standing at the door. Mira stepped forward and smiled, "Can I ask you to be my Chinese teacher?" The maid smiled and said, "Willing to serve, as you wish." ”
Mira felt that there was something else hidden in her smile, and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you from Chen?" ”
The woman smiled and bowed slightly, "You will know later, don't ask so much now." Please come with me, everything here is yours from now on, and I am your steward. If you are not satisfied. A substitution can be requested. ”
"Wait a minute, what should I call you?" Mira felt the need to get to the bottom of it, being in a foreign country, she didn't know the customs and customs. The "butler" in front of him, who is proficient in French, naturally has to figure it out.
"You can call me Butler Rong. Anything in the house can be told to do it. On the outside, I can do anything for you as long as it doesn't violate the laws of the Empire. You can call any subordinate in this house, but you must remember that you can't buy, sell, abuse, or kill, otherwise even the eldest prince will not be able to protect you. ”
Mira thinks it's incredible, in the French Empire, in the eyes of the aristocracy, ordinary people can count small lives as human lives? It seems that his understanding of this empire is still very superficial. In the future, we need to strengthen our study in this area, if you just have a good body, in the eyes of a man like Chen, the actual value will definitely not be too high.
"Last question, why do you call him the Grand Prince?" This question made Steward Rong's face show a trace of pride that was difficult to hide, and his chin raised slightly: "Prime Minister of the Ming Empire, President of the Ming Empire's Note-Issuing Bank, and the eldest son of the Chen family in Dengzhou, what is the name of the eldest prince?" ”
The answer was like a thunderbolt that slammed into Mira's ears, and then the shocked brain was buzzing. I thought he was an ordinary top magnate, but I didn't expect him to be a top magnate among top magnates. There was probably a little grievance before, but after the brain returned to normal, it was all left with surprises. To be a lover of this kind of magnate, if it weren't for his luck, how many people would he have to fight for this opportunity?
After following Steward Rong out, he stood on the steps in the courtyard, but when he saw Rong Jian lightly slapped his palm a few times, two lines of people came out from behind the screen, both men and women, and counted carefully, thirty-six. Steward Rong looked back, and Mira said, "I don't understand the rules here, I'll leave it to you." ”
Butler Rong nodded, first said aloud in French, and then said in Chinese: "Everyone understands the rules, so I won't say more." If anyone commits a crime, he will be sent to the Yamen of the Department of Justice for disposal and the employment contract will be terminated. Finally, I would like to emphasize that as long as anything here spreads to the outside, everyone must find out this person, otherwise they will be dismissed collectively, and those who should lose money will lose money, and those who can't lose money will go to jail. Don't expect to have a good life when you come out of prison, let alone expect your family to be unrelated to your family's good deeds. In the future, even if I don't work in this house, I have to keep my mouth shut when I go out. ”
Mira didn't speak, but listened quietly. When Steward Rong announced the end of the meeting, he saw two young women standing in front of him, and Steward Rong introduced: "This is Lin, this is Jade, they will be responsible for taking care of your life in the future." Rest assured, they have all gone through a period of learning French and there is no problem with simple conversations. ”
Mila later learned that the two maids were orphan girls who had been adopted since childhood and received some special education. Language, for example, is one of them. This kind of phenomenon is not common in Daming, and generally only some special departments will cultivate such talents, but this, Mila doesn't know. Chen Ping knew, but pretended not to know.
"Can I invite guests to come in? According to the French model? Mira asked for the opinion of Steward Rong, not because she couldn't do without this woman's help, but because she found that even Chen Ping would be more polite when facing her. Steward Rong smiled and nodded: "No problem, just leave it to me, you just need to make a list." ”
Mira breathed a sigh of relief, returned to the study excitedly, found the pen and paper and was about to start working, but Lin next to her stepped forward and smiled: "Madam, you can only dictate and let me record." Mira paused for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Is it French?" ”
Yu stepped forward and said, "Bilingual, Chinese first, French last." In Daming, no matter what language, it is ranked after Chinese. ”
"Why?" Mira was a little unhappy, French is the most beautiful language in the world, and this can be regarded as deeply rooted in the hearts of no French aristocrat. I never thought that Lin would answer as a matter of course: "Chinese is the most attractive and noble script in the world." Everyone in Daming understands and does this way? Is there anything wrong with that? Mira became more and more unhappy, pulled down her face and said, "What if I force myself to do what I want?" ”
Yu gave her a knife unceremoniously: "Then you will become the laughing stock of the entire Ming magnates, and implicate the master." ”
Mira can't understand the arrogance in the hearts of the Ming people in this era? When I was beaten by Jiannu before, I still had a barbarian sentence in my heart. It wasn't until those backbone scholars were killed that this concept was slowly reversed. As for now, the warships of the Ming Empire are cruising all over the world, hehehe. (To be continued......)
