"There are two situations in this officialdom for gift-giving, one is afraid that people will remember you, and the other is afraid that people will forget you."

Wang Yongjiang said with a smile: "The first is the usual gift, you will not be grateful to others if you give it, but if you don't give it, most of them will be remembered, and you will even wear small shoes." When you really want people to do things for you, you have to use the second way, simply put, to give heavy gifts, generous gifts, and completely move people's hearts, Yuan Shikai is a master in this regard, and he has relied on giving Li Lianying generous gifts year after year to get the great help of the chief manager. ”

Zhang Tinglan has also heard about Yuan Shikai, and knows that this person is indeed generous, in order to buy Li Lianying, Yuan Shikai gave out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets at a time, without even blinking his eyes, which made the chief manager feel uneasy, and obediently did things for Yuan Shikai.

"This time Zhang Yuting wants to be promoted to an official, of course he wants to give a heavy gift, but this gift must also be given cleverly, so that it can get twice the result with half the effort, I think there are four people who must be sent, the first one is the eldest prince Yuan Keding!"

Zhang Tinglan nodded hurriedly, he also thought of Yuan Keding, but Wang Yongjiang was obviously more far-reaching than he thought.

"Sir, who are the other three, please advise?"

"What men are most afraid of is the wind on the pillow, Yuan Shikai loves the eldest aunt and the fifth aunt the most, these two future imperial concubines can't be forgotten!" Wang Yongjiang's tone was teasing, obviously knowing Yuan Shikai's actions to claim the emperor, Wang Yongjiang was also very dissatisfied with the imperial system.

"The fourth is Yuan Shikai's important adviser Yang Shiqi, this person has won Yuan Shikai's trust, to say yes, if he can say a few good words, it will be of great help. The focus of sending things to these four people is also different, Yuan Keding is greedy for money and lustful, as long as there is enough money and beauty, Yang Shiqi has the high level of some scholars, and ordinary gold and silver things are useless, but this person is good at calligraphy and painting, if he can find a famous work, he can definitely move his heart, as for what to impress the two aunts, I won't say much. ”

Wang Yongjiang pointed out the direction of the matter in a few words, this is the ability, if you can get this person to mention it often, it will definitely save a lot of trouble.

"Sir, I'll arrange the gifts of Yuan Keding and the two aunts, as for Yang Shiqi, I don't know what to give, in case I spend a lot of money to buy some fakes and come back, but it's a shame to slap my face, why don't Mr. help and change it?"

"Hey! If you get on the thief ship, you can't get down, so I'll help you find it! ”

While talking, the two of them arrived at the Daosheng Bank, and it was easy to find Fred, this guy has been in a bad mood recently, with the expansion of the scale of smuggling, more and more Russian nobles dragged him into the water, and Fred's power in his hands is also increasing, it can be said that although others are sitting here, one order is enough to cause an earthquake in the Far East.

This is the liliang of capital, this is the shili of the banker, Fred enjoys this wonderful feeling very much, of course, he enjoys the tangible benefits, in just a few months, his assets continue to double, and it is conceivable that there will be more in the future, and he is even sure to be among the top bankers in Shijie.

"Old friend, I am going to go to Beijing recently, and Mr. Wang Yongjiang will temporarily handle the affairs of Fengtian on my behalf, and you can find him for anything."

Saying that, Zhang Tinglan introduced the two people, Fred is an old fox, and Wang Yongjiang is a very smart character, as soon as the two meet, they seem to have telepathy, and they can't stop looking at each other.

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Mr. Wang just made a suggestion to me, since we both think that Russia is difficult to maintain for a long time, then can we attack the ruble!" ”

A look of disbelief flashed in Fred's eyes, and then he smiled bitterly: "Zhang, I just thought of this method, I thought you wouldn't think of it, I didn't expect you to find out so quickly, the wisdom of the Chinese really can't be underestimated!" ”

"Haha, I didn't expect it, it was Mr. Wang who thought of it, do you two cooperate to turn this jihua into reality, and let us get a lot of gold from Russia!"

Fred said with a smile: "Zhang, don't worry, this kind of thing can't be done overnight, you need to break through the layers of joints, especially to conquer the Russian banking system, it takes a lot of thought." And the Japanese have already begun to bite the hook, the Japanese named Miki found me yesterday and asked me about the purchase of weapons, it seems that they can't wait to enter the Russian market, we can connect the complicated things in front of us, and then find the most efficient way to make money. ”

Wang Yongjiang didn't know that Zhang Tinglan and Fred teamed up to set up a trap for the Japanese, and his eyes suddenly widened, it turned out that this young master Zhang not only attacked the Russians, but also attacked the idea of the Japanese, this courage was absolutely amazing, and Wang Yongjiang's interest became stronger and stronger.

The three of them sat together, Fred, a shrewd Jew, needless to say, Wang Yongjiang has a talent for governing the country, and he can play with the conspiracy, and it is even easier to use the conspiracy, as for Zhang Tinglan, although he can't compare to these two, he at least has a hundred years of knowledge, which is equivalent to a wide range of experience, and can provide very novel ideas.

The two big, one small and three foxes got together, and the conspiracy of one against Russia and piggybacking on Japan was basically formed.

They linked smuggling, Japan-Russia trade, and shorting the ruble. At first, they induced Japan to lend money to Russia, and at this time, due to the poor economic situation, the ruble had already begun to depreciate, so they took advantage of the black market formed by smuggling to exchange yen for the depreciated ruble.

Then the ruble was sent to the Central Bank of Russia, and according to the gold content, it was exchanged for gold, and Zuihou was shipped to China. At the same time, Zhang Tinglan also proposed that Fred buy Russian banks and let them issue bonds, and Fred helped them package the bonds, speculate on the value, and sell them to the Japanese.

Of course, if the other powers are interested, they can also buy it, no matter how cost-effective this deal seems, as long as the majority party comes to power, everything will become state-owned, they can only cry, and through all kinds of capital operations, Zhang Tinglan and Fred can get unimaginable benefits!

The three of them discussed secretly for an afternoon and determined the general direction, because Zhang Tinglan had to prepare gifts and accompany Lao Zhang into Beijing, so the matter of Fengtian was handed over to Wang Yongjiang with full power.

These things seem to be complicated, but Wang Yongjiang's ability is not blown, he can easily straighten things out, and he can master it in a few days, what else is there to worry about when people rely on the prime minister's ability to be the manager of the company!

Zhang Tinglan went all out to buy gifts, Liu Shucheng and Qiao Ruixuan also contacted everywhere, looking for rare treasures, and soon the gift list was enriched, and they were busy for five days in a row, and the gifts were almost ready.

Zhang Zuolin called Zhang Tinglan to his side: "Tinglan, I seem to have prepared all the gifts you have prepared, and I am very attentive!" Very good! It's just that I'm thinking about the big head or cash, and I think I have to prepare at least 500,000 oceans! ”

"Don't be so stingy, even if it's a million, it's fine!"

Lao Zhang's eyes suddenly widened: "Tinglan, although we have a lot of money in our hands, we can't waste it, besides, the 27th Division is thriving, and in a few months, Fengtian will be our world, even if Yuan Datou doesn't give me the title of governor, I still control Fengtian, and give Yuan Datou away with valuable funds for nothing, I don't think this deal is cost-effective!" ”

Zhang Zuolin said that it is indeed good, since the funds have become abundant, Lao Zhang has frequently expanded the army, and the regular establishment of the 27th Division is two brigades, but Lao Zhang has already exceeded a lot, and the number of men and horses is close to three brigades. After Zhang Tinglan helped Lao Zhang get the money, Lao Zhang's pace of expanding the army was even greater, and now the 27th Division has at least four brigades.

These soldiers can be trained and matured in just a few months, and Lao Zhang can also obtain enough equipment by intercepting Russian munitions, and soon the 27th Division will be able to replace all the water rifles, machine guns and artillery can also be matched, and with strength, everything will fall into place, which is also where Lao Zhang's confidence lies.

"Seven masters, of course I don't want to send money to those insatiable guys in Beijing, but I have a lot of Russian rubles in my hand, which has begun to depreciate, but these guys in Beijing may not know yet, let's just give gifts in rubles, you just have to spend it casually!"

"You kid is a ghost!" Zhang Zuolin scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, follow the Seventh Master into Beijing, you can also help think about something!" ”

"Don't you say that I also want to go, the people of Sijiu City are outstanding, I also want to take the opportunity to recruit a few talents, after your old ruler Fengtian, we will vigorously build Fengtian, and we can't do without talents."

Everything is almost ready, Yuan Jinkai went to Beijing with Lao Zhang, and Zhang Xueliang was also tempted when he saw Zhang Tinglan also going to Beijing, so he asked in every possible way, Lao Zhang also wanted his son to see the world, so he agreed to accompany him, Zhang Xueliang went, Zhang Tingshu naturally followed, Zhang Tinglan didn't want to get rid of this hum two generals.

Before leaving, Lao Zhang called Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin and others to the Tiger Hall, he went to Beijing, and someone at home had to be in charge, in fact, this is also a reflection of identity, who can take on this important task, it means who is the second person in the 27th Division.

In the past, Tang Yulin was responsible for this kind of thing, he was the deputy division commander, and the rank was still lieutenant general, like Zhang Zuolin, higher than Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen, this time he was also full of confidence, although the brothers were a little discordant, but Lao Tang still believed that his status would not be shaken.

"Brothers, our 27th Division is thriving, and there are more and more things to manage, we can't just guard the army, but also deal with businessmen, ordinary people, and little devils, sixth brother, this overall situation is under your control!"

Lao Zhang personally ordered Sun Liechen, among these brothers, Sun Liechen is the most shrewd and old-fashioned, so it makes sense to give him this task, but Tang Yulin is tired of it for a while.

"In addition, military affairs are still the most important thing, we must take care of our family, this is the foundation of our buddies, and we can't afford to lose!" As he spoke, Zhang Zuolin's gaze swept over everyone present, and Zuihou fell on Zhang Zuoxiang.
