This Third Young Master Tian is left in the next generation, but he is the second generation of the official and the second generation of the army, and it is normal for him to like to take drugs. It's a pity that Wang Zhenyu doesn't want to be Zhang Xueliang, and he doesn't plan to live as long as 105 years old, so he is naturally insensitive to this.

After being a little tired of staying in Nanjing, and handing over the training to his subordinates, Wang Zhenyu, who had nothing to do, thought that since he had come to the Yangtze River Delta, the richest place in China, he had to do something.

If you want to make a name for yourself in the future, talent and money are indispensable.

In Wuhan, he has Ye Zuwen, a comprador himself, and this old boy is also dedicated. But if a person wants to stand firm, he can't rely on one leg alone.

I still have to have a leg, but Ye Zuwen will come to Nanjing soon, maybe he can find another leg for himself!

Tian Yingzhao was tired of staying in Nanjing recently, and suddenly wanted to go to Changzhou for two days, so he came to invite Wang Zhenyu.

Although the entire south of the Yangtze River was nominally out of the control of the Qing court, it did not necessarily belong to the Republic of China if it was separated from the Qing Dynasty. The actual scope of the Nanjing Provisional Government's control was also limited, but Changzhou obviously fell within this actual controllable range.

300,000 troops from all walks of life gathered in Nanjing, and the Northern Expedition became the moon in the water because the Qing Emperor announced his abdication. After a long time, everyone will feel bored, and Zhenjiang, Changzhou and other places that are not too far from Nanjing, have become good places for officers to spend their pastime.

However, this time Tian Yingzhao obviously didn't take the right road, Wang Zhenyu and his party followed Tian Yingzhao to a place called Benniu Town near Changzhou, and found that it was quite deserted.

Seeing this depression, Tian Yingzhao was so angry that he scolded his own soldiers: "Bastard, didn't you say that you had been here before, didn't you say that it was very lively here?" ”

The soldier was so frightened that he didn't dare to catch his breath, but just stood there with his head bowed.

Wang Zhenyu is not angry, and now that he is a general, he began to consciously control his emotions, after all, many times anger cannot solve the problem. He dismounted, threw the reins to his guards, and walked slowly down the street with his hands behind his back. After only walking a dozen steps, he was surprised to find that there was still a shop open as usual on the empty street, and looking at the customers who came in and out from time to time, the business seemed to be good.

It's a Western scene, just after the war, economic depression is the norm, and the opposite is very strange.

Walking to the front of this store, the signboard is engraved with the four big characters of Hefeng store. Wang Zhenyu looked at the signboard, and it turned out to be a grocery store. He pulled Tian Yingzhao, who was still scolding his own soldiers as he walked: "Brother Tian, look at the current chaos, most of the merchants are closed, but there is still a grocery store here that is open for business, which is very strange, let's go in and take a look?" ”

Tian Yingzhao glanced at his soldiers again: "Well, go in and take a look!" ”

The group of men walked in like this, bluffing the customers who were waiting to buy things in the store to dodge, and after a while, they walked cleanly, and the young men who came to the store were so frightened that they took the initiative to lean into the corner.

Behind the counter stood a young man with clear eyebrows and a melon seed face, who was holding an abacus and bowing his head to sort out the accounts. He soon felt that the atmosphere in the store was wrong, why was it so quiet all of a sudden.

When he looked up, he saw a group of strong men standing in the middle of the shop, looking around, and the young man couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. Looking at the figure and appearance of these masters, it is estimated that they are not good.

He hurriedly walked around the counter with a smile and came out to greet him: "These masters, when you look back, your eyes are tight, do you want to add some objects to the shop?" ”

Wang Zhenyu snorted: "It's nothing, it's just curious to come in and take a look, what about your shopkeeper?" ”

Wang Zhenyu, who was downcast in later generations, became a general in this life, although it was only a matter of January or February, this official tone seemed to be innate. There is no way, this is the main theme in later generations, and I have heard it.

The young man's pupils shrank: "The small one is the shopkeeper of the store, whose cheap name is Liu Guojun, who gives gifts to a few distinguished guests, and I don't know where it can be useful?" You may be seated, and I'll let you have some tea. ”

Wang Zhenyu and Tian Yingzhao didn't say much, sat down, and the accompanying guards ran outside to guard.

Liu Guojun served the tea, and Wang Zhenyu took a sip: "Shopkeeper Liu, it's really not a secret, we are also passing by here, and we found that most of the merchants along the street are closed, but your house is open as usual, and the business is also extraordinary, I am quite curious, so come in and disturb, don't blame!" ”

Wang Zhenyu said very politely, which made Liu Guojun feel good. As for Tian Yingzhao, he was drinking tea on the side and didn't interject, just a picture of excitement and the old god was there.

"Distinguished guests do not know, since October last year, because of this war, the traffic has been cut off, the merchants are afraid of chaos, and the supply of goods is cut off, so they have closed their doors and closed their doors" Liu Guojun 1510 said carefully "In the small view, whether it is chaotic or not, whether it is fought or not, this day has to be as usual, so I helped my peers clear the goods, took their plates and continued to open, as a result, you also saw the distinguished guests, and the business was still successful. ”

The shopkeeper Liu in front of him said very easily, but it brought a lot of shock to Wang Zhenyu. Wang Zhenyu, who came from later generations, admired the courage and insight of the young man named Liu Guojun in front of him. It's not hard to think of this at such a time when things are changing, but it's great to be brave enough to do it.

"Shopkeeper Liu is so courageous, has a unique vision, and his courage is extraordinary, Wang is a good student" Wang Zhenyu's words were sincere, and Liu Guojun was very comfortable to listen to, to be honest, this decision was already the most proud of Liu Guojun in his life. At the beginning, his father-in-law was strongly opposed, and it was his hard work that led to the current situation. Now it is rare to have outsiders praise him, and Liu Guojun is naturally a little proud in his heart.

Naturally, the more he talked, the more speculative he became, Wang Zhenyu became more and more interested in the young shopkeeper in front of him, and he actually had the idea of founding a yarn factory! How could such a young man be in such a small grocery store?

Here Liu Guojun also has a good impression of Wang Zhenyu in his heart, although he doesn't know what Wang Zhenyu's identity is, but looking at the pretend, temperament, and conversation, he is naturally not an ordinary person. You must know that Shinong industry and commerce, since ancient times, business is the last, not to mention that he is not even a business, is a grocery store shopkeeper, on weekdays, the villagers in addition to buying things, rarely in and out, individual meritorious and famous down-and-out show to buy things is not difficult to look at themselves, such as Wang Zhenyu and his own talk almost never before, not to mention that many of this person's views are refreshing, what grocery store chain, unified procurement, unified supply and the like, completely beyond their own knowledge, loss of self-awareness has always been well-informed, I'm ashamed!

Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened, and Liu Guojun offered to stay for dinner and overnight, saying that the inn in the town was now closed. Wang Zhenyu did not shirk, he stayed at Liu's house that night, Tian Yingzhao was not interested in their conversation, and after a day of Mercedes-Benz, he naturally went to bed early. Wang Zhenyu is Liu Guojun is more and more speculative the more he talks, Wang Zhenyu has already understood the idea of solicitation, and said directly: "Brother Liu, it's a pity to live here, my brother is still in a hurry to rush back to Nanjing tomorrow, don't hide it from Brother Liu, my brother also has the heart to do some big deals, but he suffers from the lack of available people, and there will be a place where Brother Liu needs help in the future." Later, my brother will send someone here to invite, this is not a kind word, and Brother Liu must not refrain from it at that time. People live for a lifetime, often just this bit of chance, you and I can meet here is fate. ”

Although they have only known each other for a few hours, they feel that they have known each other for a long time, Liu Guojun also feels that the person in front of him is not small, since he is sincerely invited, it is a business, and he is also suffering from this small profit, and he has nowhere to show, seeing that Wang Zhenyu's attitude is very sincere, he naturally nodded and agreed, and gave a piece of jade pendant that opened the light as a token of the visitor.

Early the next morning, Wang Zhenyu did not greet the main family, but quietly left ten oceans and returned to Nanjing with Tian Yingzhao. Counting the days, Ye Zuwen should be almost there.

On February 25, 1912, at the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, Wang Zhenyu met his current partner Ye Zuwen.

Today's Ye Zuwen not only turned over by relying on Wang Zhenyu, but also combined the Ye family's industry and Wang Zhenyu's industry according to Wang Zhenyu's wishes, and operated in the name of Ye's business. Ye Zuwen is the general manager, and accounts for 20% of the shares responsible for daily operations, and he is also a nominal legal person to the outside world.

In this way, he is naturally the richest man in Wuhan, and not long ago he was successfully elected as a Chinese director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the British Concession in Wuhan, and he can be regarded as a "well-known person" in the Hankou Concession District.

The business of foreign banks and tobacco factories is quite smooth, and Ye Zuwen also used the war in Wuhan to speculate on land and make a small profit. Now they are planning to set up a bank, not to mention the huge amount of more than 6 million yuan in hand, which is more than enough to support the operation of a bank. However, Ye Zuwen can't be the master alone, and the money is not his, so he took a telegram to Wang Zhenyu early and said that he was coming to Nanjing for instructions.

Don't look at Ye Zuwen is already a pivotal figure in the Wuhan Concession, but in front of Wang Zhenyu, a young man, he is polite and tight, and he doesn't dare to call Wang Zhenyu by his name, and always refers to him as a general.

The purpose of Ye Zuwen's visit to Nanjing this time is, first, to ask for instructions on the opening of a bank; The second is to connect and introduce his friend Liu Hongsheng when he was a comprador to Wang Zhenyu to see if they can make a fortune together.

When he returned to Shanghai to deliver the goods, Ye Zuwen ate and lived in Liu Hongsheng's house, and he knew that this old friend was specializing in the coal of the Kailuan Mining Bureau, and he had a good time, and his small life was very nourishing. Therefore, Ye Zuwen was not very confident about promoting this person's joining, and he did not mention it to Wang Zhenyu before he came.
