In just two days, Hongjiang's owner changed from Zhou Zefan to Wang Zhenyu. And what Zhou Zefan stayed in Hongjiang was only the story of Zhou Zefan smiling and losing Hongjiang. And Zhou Zefan also left the nickname of Wednesday Laugh, which became a joke after tea and dinner for Hongjiang citizens.

Wang Zhenyu is not stupid, he is not willing to leave a handle to the people in the provincial government, and he still retains the fifth garrison area, Zhou Zefan is still the nominal commander, but this commander was sent out of the country by gift.

So Hong Jiang didn't seem to have changed anything, and it seemed that everything had changed......

On June 28, the first year of the Republic of China, Wang Zhenyu strode into the Hongjiang Garrison Headquarters. This was Zhou Zefan's residence before, and before that was the county government of Hongjiang. But from now on, this is Wang Zhenyu's temporary residence. And He Jian and a group of officers from the military intelligence department who were lurking in Hongjiang had already changed into blue-gray military uniforms at this time, and waited for Wang Zhenyu's reception here with peace of mind.

With Song Haomin's command, all the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department who had been waiting for a long time stood up and neatly gave a very standard military salute to Wang Zhenyu, who strode into the main hall.

Wang Zhenyu is not very particular about dress, he is only wearing an ordinary blue-gray military uniform, which is no different from the other officers and soldiers of the Tiger Brigade. The only thing that may be different is the shining star on the collar, which seems to remind everyone at all times that this is a major general.

Next, Wang Zhenyu will issue promotion orders and new military ranks to the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department who have made the greatest contributions in this Hongjiang war.

When He Jian excitedly took over the appointment of the director of military intelligence from Wang Zhenyu, tears burst out of his eyes. He has finally changed from a small policeman to a middle-level officer of the Tiger Brigade, and the disappointment of his father, and the ridicule of relatives and friends over the years have been washed away at this moment. Wang Zhenyu looked at this subordinate who was a little out of shape with a smile on his face, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then hung the major collar emblem on He Jian's neckline.

To be honest, Wang Zhenyu doesn't like this way of using the collar emblem to indicate the military rank, he thinks that the military rank should be reflected in the epaulettes, which is the real atmosphere and beauty.

It didn't take much time to get promoted and conferred titles, after all, there were less than fifteen military intelligence personnel lurking in Hongjiangdian.

After a few words of encouragement, Wang Zhenyu sat down and motioned to everyone to sit down and stop standing.

At this time, He Jian, who had just been promoted to major director, bowed down and handed over a document with four big characters written on the cover: "Hongshang Record".

When Wang Zhenyu saw these four words, he was very interested in the material and flipped through it on the spot.

are all the information of some big Hong businessmen:

In 1894, he joined a joint venture and took charge of the family business. Create a famous brand "Yang Hengyuan" oil number. He Jian's mark on this person is: He is keen on antique collection in his spare time.

8. Zhou Zhiyun, Hongjiang Yishang. At the age of 13, he came to Hongjiang as an apprentice, and then operated gauze, lacquer, and tung oil alone. Painstaking grinding, thrift and forgetting its hardships, diligence and forgetting its hard work, extensive travel, heavy commitment, see integrity, rich but not forget the roots, help the poor, subsidize the township, enthusiastic about public welfare, people are called righteous businessmen.

9. Yang Jinsheng, a wealthy businessman in Hongjiang. Born in a poor family, experienced ups and downs, and worked hard. He started in the ceramic business, and then engaged in soybeans, cowhide, mercury and wood, and created famous brands "Yichang Hou" and "Shenchangsen". Although he was a wealthy businessman, he lived a very frugal life, but he was kind and generous.

As for the Zhang family and other Hongshang, they are naturally among them, but He Jian, through his observation during this time, believes that only the above nine can influence Hongjiang, and the rest can be ignored. Especially the Zhang family, although it is still a big family, but the right to speak in the industry has long been not as good as it used to be.

Wang Zhenyu nodded lightly at an imperceptible frequency, and he asked He Jian very curiously: "Where is the chief, you have been here for a few months, and you have a deep understanding of Zhu Zhida, the first master of Hongshang, what weaknesses does this person have, how can I let this person be used by me?" ”

Although He Jian was prepared for the boss to ask him, he didn't dare to answer at will, so as not to leave a bad impression on the boss.

He replied very cautiously: "Commander, do you still remember the passage of Zhu Zhida mentioned in the last letter of the humble post, the descendants are stronger than me, what do you want money for, and the children and grandchildren are not as good as me, what do you want money for?" ”

Wang Zhenyu was happy when he heard it, and nodded again and again: "Remember, remember, this person understands the world very well!" ”

He Jian nodded, and then said: "I can see clearly, it doesn't mean that this person can really let go, on the contrary, according to the observation of the humble position, Zhu Zhida asked someone to tell fortunes and calculate the wealth of his descendants, but the result is that he is rich for no more than three generations." This old man is afraid that after a hundred years, his family business will wither and his children and grandchildren will be poor, so he built more than 300 big shops in Hongjiang last year, and gave them to merchants in need. There is only one ......"

Speaking of this, He Jian deliberately paused for a moment, but found that Wang Zhenyu did not answer as he was interested, but looked at himself playfully. At that time, I felt a chill in my heart, retracted my little cleverness and said: "In the future, the Zhu family will be defeated, and the children and grandchildren will come to ask for food, and they can give a bowl of rice to eat." ”

Wang Zhenyu then hahadaxiao got up: "Interesting, interesting, then what do you think about it?" ”

He Jian bowed his head and said: "I have checked the humble position, Zhu Zhida's eldest grandson Zhu Cihan is very much loved by his grandfather, but his father died early, this son is twenty years old, but he naturally does not like to do business, and he dances with guns and sticks all day long, and Zhu Zhida has no idea of letting him inherit the ancestral business." I thought that if the commander could recruit this son into our army, it would be tantamount to giving him an official position, which would ensure that he would have a worry-free future, and with Zhu Zhida's love for this grandson, he would definitely be grateful. ”

When Wang Zhenyu was in Jingzhou, he had three secret talks with Ye Zuwen, and the core idea of the theme was how to integrate the resources of Xiangxi, set up industries, and build Xiangxi.

According to Ye Zuwen, the wealth of Hongshang is amazing, if it can be used by Wang Zhenyu, let alone Xiangxi, it may not be impossible to build Hunan. But if you can get these socially suspicious businessmen to get their money out, you have to have a charter.

In this regard, Li Hongzhang was in the front, and his method of integrating all merchants back then was very practical, that is, to open a company, join the shares, and then make money and dividends. Since it is profitable, all businessmen will naturally help each other, and now it is time to learn from this method.

Wang Zhenyu then thought for a long time, then set up a Xiangxi development company, and use the yoko in Hongshang's hands through this company for the construction of Xiangxi......

Ideas are always haode, how to implement is the key, at least you have to make these Hongshang believe you. At the beginning, in order to gain the support of Jingzhou businessmen, his own reform in Jingzhou Mansion improved the political and social status of businessmen. However, Hongjiang merchants are more powerful and sophisticated, and they cannot be dismissed by a local civil administration. Therefore, Wang Zhenyu thought about it for a long time, and still felt that he could learn from Li Hongzhang's method as a pastemaker, build a large-scale development company, integrate the resources of Xiangxi, and then make a fortune together. It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, and you have to find someone with prestige to take the lead, and now it seems that Zhu Zhida is a good choice.

After figuring out this joint, Wang Zhenyu turned sideways and asked He Jian: "How is Zhu Cihan?" ”

When He Jian saw the commander asking, he immediately felt that there was a play, and he replied respectfully: "This son is a knight, advocating martial arts, and his personality is quite peaceful, so much different from the children of ordinary wealthy merchants. ”

Wang Zhenyu knew that He Jian still didn't dare to fool himself now, thinking that he was indeed a usable person, he nodded and said: "Then you can arrange it, I will visit him that day." ”

He Jian was overjoyed: "Commander, I can recruit him to see you." ”

Wang Zhenyu waved his hand: "That's it." ”

He Jian said: "The lowly rank is according to the order, so the lowly rank will be pushed down?" ”

Wang Zhenyu glanced at He Jian: "They can all go down, He Jian, you can stay for a while." ”

He Jian couldn't figure it out all of a sudden, and sat on the chair uneasily and didn't dare to move.
