The next day, Lin Daxin did not rush to buy things with the money, but took Jiang Hui and Lin Daxin to a small French foreign store with two suitcases, Lin Daxin walked into this foreign company, and immediately saw a handsome young man wearing a decent suit, but still with braids, at this time this handsome young man was following a young Westerner in the store who was also wearing a suit, speaking something in fluent French.

When Lin Daxin saw this young man, he was still at the gate of the foreign bank, and immediately shouted excitedly: "Cousin! ”

When the handsome young man heard this voice, he immediately turned around, and when he saw Lin Daxin, he immediately laughed and shouted, "Daxin!" When did you arrive in Shanghai? ”

The two of them quickly greeted each other as they spoke, and hugged each other tightly.

This handsome young man is Wang Yan, the son of Lin Daxin's aunt, who is 5 years older than Lin Daxin and is 23 years old this year.

Lin Daxin's maternal grandfather had a total of three boys, two girls and five children. Lin Daxin's eldest uncle, Wang Yan's father was a talented talent, but when Wang Yan was two years old, he went to Beijing to take the exam, suddenly fell ill, and died violently on the way to Beijing to catch the exam. Later, the aunt took Wang Yan, who had just been able to walk, back to her parents' house to live.

Lin Daxin's family also lived in Fuzhou, Fujian Province when he was a child, Lin Daxin has been following Wang Yan since he was a child, and Wang Yan, who is seven or eight years old, does not dislike Lin Daxin, who is two or three years old, is a drag oil bottle, and when he plays with his friends, he takes Lin Daxin, who is not a little bit.

Slowly the two brothers grew up, and the relationship became better, and Wang Yan, who is also the only son in the family, regarded Lin Daxin as his own brother. These two brothers and several cousins of the three uncles' families did not deal with each other.

Once the brothers and several cousins and cousins of the uncles' family went to the river to solve the conflict, but they didn't agree with each other, the two groups of people fought together, and Lin Daxin accidentally slipped from the river embankment and fell into the river.

Several cousins and cousins of the uncles' family were so frightened that they turned around and ran away, and 15-year-old Wang Yan jumped into the river from the embankment more than 2 meters high without thinking about it, but Wang Yan, who was bent on saving his younger brother, forgot that he couldn't swim, or fell into the river first, Lin Daxin, who was only 10 years old at the time, dragged Wang Yan, who drank several sips of river water, onto the riverbank.

Later, 18-year-old Wang Yantuo's grandfather entered a foreign foreign company as an apprentice, and after 5 years of hard work, he has long since left the original foreign company and has become a Chinese manager in this small French foreign company, that is, a Chinese manager.

Soon after Wang Yan entered the foreign bank, Lin Daxin was admitted to the Fujian Shipbuilding School, although the two brothers have not met a few times over the years, but the contact between the letters has not been broken, and the brother's feelings have not been alienated because of the distance, but have become deeper.

Lin Daxin introduced the two people behind him to Wang Yan, "Cousin, this is Jiang Hui, the word is built, this is Sun Xitao, the word Ruian, they are all my colleagues, the teachers of the Beiyang Naval Academy." Jiancheng, Ruian, this is my cousin, Wang Yan, the cousin Desong, is a Chinese Taipan of a foreign foreign firm! ”

"Brother Jiancheng, Brother Ryan, I will be lucky!" After listening to Lin Daxin's introduction, Wang Yan arched his hand and said.

Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao also bowed their hands and said, "Brother Desong, I am fortunate to be happy!" ”

Wang Yan said to Lin Daxin: "This is not a place to catch up, let's go to where I live!" Let's talk! ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said, "Okay!" Cousin! ”

Wang Yan turned back to the foreign young man who had just spoken and said a few words in French, the foreign young man nodded with a smile, turned around and returned to the counter full of various Western products.

After Wang Yan and Lin Daxin left from the foreign bank, they came to a Shanghai alley. This alley is a two-storey brick and wood building, with an open-air courtyard of about 10 square meters. Enter the guest room, about 15-20 square meters. At the back of the living room, there is a 10-15 square meter rear living room.

There are rectangular east and west wings of about 25 square meters on the left and right sides of the guest hall. There is a stove room behind the wing room, there is a back door, which communicates with the back guest hall, and the escalator at the end of the back guest hall corridor can go upstairs. There is a small room on top of the stove room, a pavilion room of about 10 square meters. The upstairs main house, the structure and area of the wings on both sides are the same as the ground floor. Further up, there is an open-air terrace.

There is also a pair of middle-aged male and female servants in this alley, Wang Yan ordered the servants to serve Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao tea in the guest hall, and then came to a side room upstairs with Lin Daxin.

Lin Daxin didn't dare to tell his cousin Wang Yan about the weird thing of being able to travel to modern time and space, it's not that Lin Daxin doesn't trust his cousin, but this matter is too difficult for people to accept! And now there are Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao by his side, Lin Daxin just said that he accidentally got a fortune that rivals the richness of the country, and now there are two boxes downstairs with foreign currency worth 1.49 million pounds.

Lin Daxin told Wang Yan about his idea of establishing a naval academy that included army and naval disciplines, and the fact that he wanted to use the money to invite foreign military instructors to Weihaiwei Naval Academy when he went to Shanghai this time, and also to buy some weapons and equipment for the army and navy, as well as some equipment from foreign factories, to set up various factories in Weihaiwei, to establish arsenals, to establish shipyards, to hire foreign technicians, and to train his own workers.

At the same time, Lin Daxin hopes that Wang Yan can come over to help him, and he will purchase many things from foreign countries in the future, and he will build so many factories, which need people to manage them, Lin Daxin thinks that his cousin Wang Yan is the most suitable.

Wang Yan listened to Lin Daxin's words, a bit like listening to a book from heaven, but he knew his cousin's character, and he would never joke with himself about this matter, Wang Yan asked: "Cousin, according to your thoughts, even if you have this 1.49 million pounds, it may not be enough!" And Daxin, you have so much money, and you still work hard, what kind of water master school do you use to run yourself! Running a factory or something, my cousin thinks it's okay, now the foreign goods of the Qing Dynasty are very good to sell, and opening a factory must make money. ”

Lin Daxin told his cousin Wang Yan about the Japanese threat again, and at the same time told Wang Yan about Lin Daxin's worries about the war between China and Japan and his father's safety.

Wang Yan listened to Lin Daxin's words, frowned and walked around the room, and then said firmly to Lin Daxin: "Cousin, I will go to the foreign bank to quit my job in a while!" Brother go help you! It's not for any Qing Dynasty! It's for the second aunt! Our brother must not let the second aunt be in danger! ”

Wang Yan has no father since he was a child, and in his maternal grandfather's house, the three uncles are not close to him, only Lin Daxin's father, his second aunt Lin Yongsheng has cared for him since he was a child, as long as he buys something for Lin Daxin, he must have his own share. And Lin Yongsheng not only taught himself all kinds of knowledge, he now knows French and English, which he taught with Lin Yongsheng since he was a child, and Lin Yongsheng has always taught himself the principles of life and the way to deal with things like a father, it can be said that he has long regarded Lin Yongsheng as his father.

Wang Yan continued: "Cousin, I can't lead troops or drive warships, but my cousin can do business and will help you do a good job of logistics!" If Little Japan dares to sè, Daxin, you will beat them up to your brother! My cousin has also saved 10,000 taels of silver over the years, and he will also take it out to buy you more guns! ”

When Lin Daxin heard that his cousin agreed to help him, he smiled happily and said, "Don't worry!" Cousin, if little Japan dares to sè, I will definitely protect my father! Beat up little Japan hard! It's like when we were children, whoever bullied our brothers, we beat them hard! Besides, you still keep the money, find me a cousin! Auntie is sad to death because of your marriage! I'm not the only £1.49 million! Cousin, do you know what it means to be rich? If you ask me to come up with £14.9 million, I can take it out too! ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Daxin patted his chest scerely, saying that there was a rich man like me.

Wang Yan was very surprised when he heard Lin Daxin say that he could come up with more money, but he saw that his cousin was unwilling to say where the money came from, so Wang Yan didn't ask.

In the end, the two of them found Jiang Hui and Sun Xitao downstairs, and the four young people studied together until the evening, and then they came up with a rough set of equipment purchase lists.
