Jerk is busy with the Chamber of Commerce, Chen Jiong plots to do the righteous

If you run a bank, the business will always be a sharp weapon in front of you, and Zhu Heyi sent not only a job for Jejeju, but also opened a convenient door for him.

The next morning, holding the letter of appointment issued to him by Zhu Heyi, he walked into the door of the Chamber of Commerce in high spirits.

The front of the door was deserted as usual, and the two doormen, Lao Liu and Lao Jia, were sweeping the yard with brooms as usual.

Jerk smiled at them, gave them a thumbs up, walked into the building, and after a while, walked out with a sign on the door that had been smashed by the members some time ago, and waved to the doorman.

The two walked over.

Jerk pointed to the signboard: "Do you know where you can fix it?" ”

"I know." Lao Liu Ying said, "Zhengqing Commercial Bank, this brand is ordered there." ”

Jeju took out five yuan: "Lao Liu, please take a trip and repair this brand." ”

Lao Liu took the money, picked up the sign and left.

Jeju looked at Lao Jia: "Lao Jia, you go too." This sign is heavy, and it is easy to carry it up. ”

"There's no one here who doesn't hit." Lao Jia looked at the door.

"There's me." Jerk and point to his nose.

The two of them smiled at him, picked up the sign and left. Jeju picked up the broom, and when he saw that the courtyard had been cleaned, he walked into the hall and swept it, and after sweeping, he took the mop and mopped.

The jerk was busy with work, and there was a sound of cars and horses outside the hospital. Jerk thought it was Heyi coming, took a mop to welcome him out, and just arrived at the door, he was shocked.

It was not Zhu Heyi who got off, but Shun'an and Zhang Hu.

Immediately afterwards, there was another sound, and more than a dozen rickshaws stopped outside the courtyard gate, all of them were Zhang Hu's subordinates, all wearing felt hats and long lapels wrapped around their knees, and Ah Huang, the shopkeeper of Anping Valley Xing, was among them.

Jerk back into the hall and continue mopping the floor.

Under the guidance of Zhang Hu and Shun'an, more than a dozen robed people strode towards the hall with their heads held high.

The jerk didn't look up, and dragged the floor rhythmically one after the other.

Zhang Hu took the lead, Shun'an followed, and the group walked into the gate, walked through the courtyard, took a brief look at the door of the hall, and walked straight in.

The jerk still mops the floor.

Zhang Hu and Shun'an thought they were working subordinates at first, and they were about to climb the ladder, when Ah Huang shouted: "Hey, isn't this Wu Jeju?" ”

Jerk up, lean the mop on his lap, and bow his hand to the crowd.

Shun An looked to the side, avoiding Jerk's gaze.

"Hehehe, it's really Mr. Wu," Zhang Hu returned the salute, "Mr. Wu, I heard that you have another high level and are going to do big things, how can you mop the floor here?" These tasks should be done by the next people! ”

"The next person is also a person." Jeju responded, staring at his robe and civilized stick, his tone was neither hot nor cold, "Shibei three days, you should be impressed." After not seeing each other for a few days, the fellow actually put on a long shirt, took a cheese gram, and behaved in a gentle manner. ”

Zhang Hu looked embarrassed and turned to everyone: "What are you stunned for?" Let Wu Xiucai do this rough work, do you have a face or a face? Go and go, find each guy, mop and wash this building inside and out, up and down, who is lazy, little girl, who is punished for a month and is not allowed to enter the hall! ”

And they all grimaced, and went looking for the place to work.

"Hehehe," Zhang Hu turned to jerk, "Mr. Wu, isn't this a gentleman?" ”

Jerk handed over again: "The fellow does not forget his true colors, and admires it!" Dare to ask the two, do you have anything to do here? ”

"Looking for Prime Minister Zhu!"

"I wish the prime minister has not arrived, what is the matter, I will convey it on behalf of the next generation!"

"You are..." Zhang Hu was stunned for a moment and patted his head, "Oh, yes, yes, yes, I remembered that Mr. Wu is the chairman of the General Chamber of Commerce." Wu Yidong, come on, let me introduce," he said, referring to Shun'an, "A few days ago, your brother Fu Xiaodi was promoted to vice president of the Shanghai Money Industry Association, and was elected by the Money Industry Association as a non-voting director of the Chamber of Commerce," and pointed to himself, "As for the following, even if it is stained, he also attends the board of directors, and he can sit on an equal footing with Wu Yidong in this building." ”

Jerk arched his hand: "Congratulations to the two!" ”

"However," Zhang Hu returned the salute, "the formalities still have to be passed." Today, on behalf of the Money Association, we are submitting the resolution of the Association to Prime Minister Zhu. As for my brothers, they are all shopkeepers in the store, one is to recognize the door, and the other is to fill in the materials and declare the membership transfer qualification! ”

"If you say that, you don't have to trouble Prime Minister Zhu, you can handle it on your behalf." Jeju took out the letter of appointment that Zhu Heyi gave him yesterday from his arms, "I wish the prime minister to be officially appointed as the assistant to the prime minister, please review the letter of appointment!" ”

Zhang Hu and Shun'an were all taken aback.

Zhang Hu took the letter of appointment, looked at it for a while, handed it to Shun'an, and arched his hand: "Hexi, Hexi, it's strange that Wu Xiucai is going to quit, it turns out that he is a high student!" ”

Jeju ignored him and turned to Shun'an: "Xiaodi, take a step to speak!" ”

Shun An didn't dare to say no and handed back the letter of appointment.

Jerk accepted the letter of appointment and took the lead to the side.

Shun An followed, looking down at the ground.

Jeju forced his eyes, and his voice was suppressed and stern: "Fu Shun'an, look at me!" ”

Shun An shuddered, subconsciously raised his head and looked at him.

"I can help you for a while, but not forever! Miss Lu committed suicide several times, because we were held firmly and could not die. With our persuasion, Miss Lu agreed to survive because she still has you in her heart and because she is pregnant with your child in her belly. ”

"Brother..."

"Fu Shun'an, you told me in person that you love Baguio, and I also believe that you love Baguio. In two months, your baby will be born, and my mother is taking care of her, hoping that you will be able to find out that you are lost, and you will have time to see her! ”

"I..."

Jerk's voice became deeper and more powerful: "Fu Shun'an, be a man!" As for how you will meet, I'll arrange it! ”

"Brother, I'm in a hurry, I'm going first!" Shun'an looked flustered, regardless of anything else, and fled from the road.

"Brother, brother—" Zhang Hu raised his hand to greet, seeing that Shun'an was depressed, he walked away and turned to jerk, "Hey, Assistant Wu, what are you talking about, you scared my brother like this!" ”

Jeju walked over and looked at Zhang Hu: "No matter what you say, it's a matter between me and Fu Yidong." Zhang Yidong, don't you have to fill out a form to register? Please follow me! With that, he shook off his steps and walked up the stairs with exaggerated movements.

Zhang Hu hesitated, beckoned to Ah Qing and Ah Huang, who were cleaning, and the three of them joined together and followed upstairs.

Shun An ran out of the door of the Chamber of Commerce in one breath, and walked in the shade of the plane tree on the left side of the street with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the voice of jerk sounded in his ears over and over again: "I can help you for a while, but I can't help you forever..." Miss Lu committed suicide several times... She still has you in her heart, she is pregnant with your child in her belly, you tell me in person that you love Baguio, and in two months, your child will be born..."

Shun An slowly crouched down against the trunk of a tree.

The jerk's voice pierced like an awl: "Fu Shun'an, be a man..."

Shun'an's face was distorted, and his hands were pressed to his forehead.

I don't know how long it took, but Shun An got up suddenly, his face was restored, and he strode down the street.

At the wrong time, Lao Liu and Lao Jia came back with the plaque that had been repaired as before.

After checking the jerk, he arranged for the two to hang it, stood more than a dozen steps away, and commanded loudly: "Lao Liu, go up a little further, yes, yes, that's it, just flat, nail it!" ”

The two were tinkling on the nail, a car and horse stopped, Heyi jumped out of the car with a briefcase, stood still behind the jerk, looked at the new signboard, and was full of emotion.

"Uncle Zhu," Jeju turned his head and pointed to the plaque, "You came just in time, the plaque was nailed!" ”

"It's good to nail it," Heyi rubbed his wet eyes and pointed to the building, "Let's go, go upstairs, there's something important!" ”

The two walked into the prime minister's room, sat down with Heyi, and smiled bitterly at Jejeju: "Lord Liu talked to me for two hours, saying that the two major money banks went bankrupt, the market collapsed, and the country's economy collapsed, and the prince was angry and instructed him to revive the market. He was a newcomer and didn't know much about the financial stuff and begged me to help him. I said that if you want to revive the market, you must first revive the Chamber of Commerce and reinvigorate confidence! ”

"What did Lord Liu say?" Jerk asked.

"The road is dead, what else can he say?" Heyi let out another wry smile, "A person who can only read and doesn't understand bullshit is a big step worse than Lord Cai!" ”

"Ugh."

"In any case, reviving the market is the first priority. If you want to revive the market, you have to revive the Chamber of Commerce; If you want to revive the Chamber of Commerce, you have to regain confidence; If you want to regain your faith, you have to be rich! I didn't have much to say, so I opened my mouth and asked him for money! ”

"Did he... give it?"

"it! He said that he couldn't even afford to use the servants, and he had just lost two people, and he was a fool. He asked me to figure it out by myself, and I don't know how to do it, fart! ”

"Is there no money on the Chamber of Commerce's account?"

"One or two are gone."

Jerk was shocked: "Isn't there a due?" ”

"Alas," Heyi sighed, "there are membership dues, but they are all in Runfengyuan." Runfengyuan went bankrupt, and the membership fee was lost. To tell you the truth, since the stock market crash, all the expenses in the meeting have been paid by myself. Although I don't have a lot of money, but at the moment, I am also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and I can't take care of my own family. To tell you the truth, I have been nervous in recent days, many stores have run out of stock, and the Nanjing Road store, which has the best business, has not bought any goods for three months, and the customers are running out. ”

"This..." jerked in a hurry, "how can you give me another three hundred miles?" ”

"One yard is one yard, I can't save this gift money between you and Baguio. Besides, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how poor Uncle Zhu is, he will not be short of these three hundred yuan. ”

Straighten your brow.

"I was hard at work, and Lord Liu finally agreed to allocate 10,000 taels of silver from Daqing Bank to us for emergency. There was not much silver, but there were a lot of procedures, and I was annoyed, so I gave it to the account office and came back first. With that, Heyi slowly got up and walked to the tea set.

Jerk saw it, rushed over, brought the prepared tea set, and poured water to make tea.

Heyi smiled and sat down on the sofa: "Jerk, revitalize the market, Lord Liu is easy to say, but it is difficult for us to implement." Last night, Uncle Zhu thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic it became, until the rooster crowed. No silver is still a trivial matter, the main reason is that people's hearts are scattered and they can't be gathered. Since smashing the sign, no one has ever come to the business association, and today you have come to the door, which is a bit weather. What did you get to the light, inside and out, it's just..."

Jerk to make tea and bring it over.

Heyi took a sip and looked at Jejeje: "You are here, Uncle Zhu is down-to-earth." Uncle Zhu is in a hurry to come back, just to hear what tricks you can make. ”

"Uncle Zhu, when I heard you talk about it yesterday, I didn't sleep all night. In response to the three revivals you talked about, I think of two responses. ”

Heyi put down the teacup: "Speak quickly." ”

"One is to integrate the general business association, and the other is to get money. With the Chamber of Commerce, everyone has the backbone and confidence. Where there is money, the market can roll. ”

"This... yes, the key is the whole mile?"

"Let's talk about the integration chamber of commerce first." Jerk walked to the table and took out a stack of forms, "Uncle Zhu, please take a look!" ”

He Yi looked at the form, and his brows gradually wrinkled: "Fu Xiaodi? Throwing down the form, "Junyi has a bad opinion of Xiaodi, he has mentioned it to me many times, and I have also tried him, not to mention anything else, just mixed with this surname Zhang, his character will be..."

Jeju smiled and said, "Uncle Zhu, let's only talk about these forms." ”

Heyi looked at the material: "What's wrong with the form?" ”

"Today, Fu Xiaodi and Zhang Hu led their subordinates to ask to join the Chamber of Commerce, and Xiaodi and Zhang Hu have been elected by the Money Industry Association as non-voting directors of the Chamber of Commerce—"

"It's not proper," Heyi interrupted with a wave of his hand, "What kind of place is the Chamber of Commerce, how can it tolerate the entry of black turtles and miscellaneous fish?" If the old man is here, he will definitely not allow it! ”

"Uncle Zhu," jeju said with a smile, "The Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce, not the Moral Judgment Chamber, right?" According to the Articles of Association of the Chamber of Commerce, all walks of life and each gang can not only nominate members, but also nominate directors and non-voting directors. Xiaodi: They asked to join the Chamber of Commerce, which is in line with the procedures of the Chamber of Commerce, so what reason do we have to refuse? ”

Heyi's lips smacked a few times: "Yes." ”

"After this stock market crash, there are people who have left and passed away, and the original members have also left and scattered. To revitalize the Chamber of Commerce, it is necessary to reorganize the membership. Xiaodi is here to give me a revelation, we can publish a notice in the newspaper, asking all members to go to the general association of commerce within five days to re-register, non-members, as long as they meet the conditions, can also apply for membership. Regardless of the new and old members, the membership qualification certificate will be issued by the General Chamber of Commerce. The original directors shall be notified by a special person, and for the directors who have passed away or permanently left Shanghai, their qualifications as directors will be cancelled after verification, and they will be replaced by the directors elected by the same number of directors from all walks of life. If there is any deficiency of the chief director, it can be elected separately by all the directors! ”

Heyi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay." ”

"After the integration of the General Chamber of Commerce, it is time to reinvigorate confidence and revitalize the market. Confidence and the market are actually the same thing, and I also think of a response. ”

Heyi stared at him: "Oh? ”

"As Uncle Zhu said, three revitalizations require money. Where does the money come from? From the bank. The money bank collapsed, and there was no money. If you want to revive the market and regain confidence, you have to rebuild your money. At present, all the money is in the foreigner bank, and the foreigner bank is only willing to add icing on the cake, and it will not give charcoal in the snow. ”

"What do you mean, is it to revive the bank?"

"No, it's our own bank!"

Heyi gasped and raised his eyebrows.

"The revitalization of all industries is first and foremost the money industry. This rubber stock market crash made me understand the fact that the system of money banks is backward. It was also a stock market crash, and Foreigner Bank was almost unaffected. Why? Because banks have precautions, because banks have systems. As long as it does not conform to the banking system, the bank has no authority to make any decisions. This is not the case with Qian Zhuang. Qianzhuang has rules, but Uncle Lu, Uncle Peng and Uncle Zha all dare to violate the rules, why? Because the rules are set by themselves, and they have the final say in the money bank. ”

Heyi nodded: "Yes!" ”

"If we have our own bank, we can raise funds for market revitalization, and we can encourage businessmen and people to feel that they have backers behind them, and we can prevent similar stock market crashes from happening again!"

Heyi's expression was solemn: "Yes! Slightly paused, looking at Jeje, "What kind of bank do you want to run?" ”

"Master Yi long skills, imitate foreign systems, and build a bank that belongs entirely to the Chinese."

Heyi pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Virtuous nephew, this idea is good, but it is a long-term vision, not suitable for the present. A bank is different from a bank, and you can just find a few friends to make do with it. The bank doesn't work. Daqing Bank is run by the imperial court, and Huitong Bank is run by Lord Ding, which one of them goes directly to the government, and the wealth is rich, but we..."

"None of them actually left the bank, they just hung a bank plaque."

"You are right, but, if you had told this matter before the disaster, it would have been possible for the old man to come forward, but now..." ”

"Uncle Zhu, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are all confluence from small mountain streams. Whether it is a bank or a bank, it is not more money and less money, it is only in a routine, only in the heart or not. As long as we put our minds to it, we will be able to do it! ”

"Okay, I wish Uncle you to believe in you. You draw up a draft for the plan, and we'll discuss it in detail. ”

"Thank you for wishing Uncle Ding. By the way, how is Uncle Peng doing? ”

"Speaking of this person, it is a coincidence, I just learned that he was appointed by the Du branch as the premier of the Shanghai branch of Daqing Bank. Today, the 10,000 taels of silver are paid by him for the formalities! ”

A jerk "oh" came out and slowly shhh

Dressed as a teacher, wearing sunglasses, a wide-brimmed top hat and a scarf around his neck, Shun An sits diagonally across from the entrance of the alley in a small noodle restaurant with a bowl of noodles in front of him, his eyes fixed on the mouth of the alley outside the Baguio courtyard.

Qi Bo walked out of the alley with a basket of vegetables and walked along the street.

Qi Bo carried a basket of vegetables, returned from the street, and turned into the alley.

Shun An didn't move, just sat quietly.

The noodles in the bowl were already cold, and Shun An still didn't move his chopsticks.

Finally, the shopkeeper and Baguio walked out of the alley side by side.

Shun An took off his sunglasses, put his hand on his face, and stared at Baguio tightly, focusing his eyes on Baguio's big belly.

The shopkeeper and Baguio stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, the shopkeeper pointed to the road, and Baguio shook his head.

Baguio turned around and walked back to the alley.

The shopkeeper was behind him.

Shun An slowly stood up, walked to the mouth of the alley, and followed from a distance.

The two of them walked very slowly, swaying towards a courtyard door and walked in.

Shun An put on his sunglasses, put on his hat, turned around, and strode away.

As night fell, Shun An held his chin and sat sullenly on the sofa, with Baguio's big belly floating in front of him.

Yes, he is going to be a father, and he is going to be a little life pro-abba as soon as he is in Shun'an.

Just when Shun'an was thinking about it, Zhang Hu walked in in and lowered his voice: "Yutangchun came with a fresh product, saying that it was a good look, and my godmother specially left it for the two of us," looked at the watch, "Let's go, brother, let's have a second dragon and play with pearls!" ”

Shun An remained motionless.

"Huh," Zhang Hu sat down and stared at him, "What's the problem?" "Oh, when I think of it, it must be the surnamed Wu who scared my brother!" To tell you the truth, in the Chamber of Commerce, when I saw him pull his brother aside, I knew that it was not a good thing! ”

Shun'an raised his head suddenly: "Brother Zhang, I've seen Lu Biyao!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Hu was stunned.

"She..." Shun An bit his lip.

"Tell me!"

"I think, let's... give her back that big mansion, you and I won't live in it anyway."

"What?" Zhang Hu's eyes widened, "Why did we rob her?" ”

Shun An changed his words: "I made a mistake, I gave it to her!" ”

"Why?" Zhang Hu was energetic, "A few days ago, my brother was very angry, but he was his mother-in-law in the blink of an eye!" What's the surname Lu? Brother Zhang worked hard, and finally brought his family wealth, and you gave him the house again, so how can Brother Zhang's evil breath come out? Thinking that back then, Brother Zhang first broke into the beach, desperate, thinking of his family mixed up with guns, but he made people take a string of stinky copper coins and throw them at Brother Zhang's feet, when Brother Zhang is called Huazi! He took eight sedan chairs to carry a maid home to show off, and Brother Zhang came to the door to vent his anger, but he made that humiliation again, which made Brother Zhang's face...

Shun An lowered his head and stopped squeaking.

Although he was reduced to a senior worker of Daqing Bank, Peng Weilun's shelf still did not fall. When Jeju appeared in his prime minister's office, Peng Weilun pointed to the huge, luxurious office and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, look at these, is it worthy of Uncle Peng?" ”

"Hehehe," jerk looked around, "with it, with it, definitely with it." Atmospheric, simple, elegant, and Uncle Peng is the same. ”

"It looks quaint, but the price is expensive, if you look closely, whatever you get to the auction house, it's a treasure."

"Yes."

"Daqing Bank, that's what you want. Virtuous nephew, I'm afraid you never thought that Uncle Peng would have this dynasty, right? ”

"Yes."

"Not only did you not expect it, but you also didn't expect it! Grandma is a bear, I think that at the beginning, the Daotai Mansion took 100,000 taels of silver to kill Uncle Peng, but I didn't expect the branch to come down with a piece of paper, and their little necks were stuck in Uncle Peng's hands, hahaha, it's really his grandma's refreshment! ”

Jeju took a long breath and arched his hand: "Uncle Peng, the little nephew is here—"

Peng Weilun intercepted his words: "The virtuous nephew is here, Uncle Peng is looking for you!" Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to a friend first! ”

Peng Weilun high-fived, and David Duan walked in from the side door with two cups of brewed hot tea and put down the teacups.

Peng Weilun pointed to David Duan: "This is Mr. Duan, the manager of the Shanghai branch of Daqing Bank, who has just returned from studying in the United States!" ”

David Duan stretched out his hand to jerk, and his English was very authentic: "I'm David, glad to meet you!" ）”

Jeju stood up and stretched out his hand to hold: "In the lower Wu jerk, fortunately!" ”

"David Duan," Peng Weilun said to David with a smile, "This is what I often tell you about Mr. Wu, you have to ask him for more advice!" ”

"Mr. Wu's name has been heard for a long time, please advise!"

Jeju stared at him and looked at him: "David Duan? This name is so familiar! ”

David Duan's expression was embarrassed.

"Hehehe," Peng Weilun laughed again, "Yes, David worked in McGee & Co. back then, McGee owed David his salary and did not pay it back, David had no choice but to take his salary by himself, leading to a lawsuit." Although the two of you have never met, you are both involved in this lawsuit. ”

"Hehehe," David Duan laughed dryly, "Mr. Wu, don't fight and don't know each other." ”

"Yes." Ting Ju replied to him with a dry smile and turned to Peng Weilun, "Uncle Peng, listening to your voice, there seems to be something wrong." ”

"It's miles, it's miles." Peng Weilun took a step forward, "Virtuous nephew, it's good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree." The virtuous nephew is a big person, and he is a big tree. ”

"Uncle Peng, please elaborate!"

"Shanghai is Chinese, China is Beijing, and Beijing is the imperial court. If the virtuous nephew wants to mix guns in Shanghai and do big things, he has to keep his eyes on the distance and keep an eye on the court. Do you know the current situation in the court? ”

"The little nephew is lonely and unheard, please ask Uncle Peng for advice."

"Now in the court, Lafayette went west to Lingshan, Emperor Xuantong succeeded to the throne, and Prince Alcohol was regent, but the real power was not in the hands of Prince Alcohol, but was manipulated by various factions in the court. There are many factions in the DPRK and China, and in the final analysis, they are nothing more than two major factions, one is the reformist faction and the other is the royalist faction. The reformists were led by Lord Yuan, and the royalists were led by Lord Ding. Because of the implementation of the new policy, Lord Yuan had a gap with Prince Alcohol, and this Chenguang temporarily went into the wilderness, and the real power in the court was seized by Lord Ding..."

Jerk thoughtfully: "The little nephew has been taught." Uncle Peng has something to say, please speak up! ”

"Let's put it this way, you are a great talent, you can't be underestimated. Uncle Peng is old and can't hold you, but he has recommended you to Lord Yuan. A chicken will always be a chicken, and a tiger will always be a tiger. Although Lord Yuan said that he was in the wilderness, his power was still the same, and if he blew casually, there would be people in the court. Look at Uncle Peng, although he is not as good as others, but Lord Yuan said a word, Uncle Peng is not..."

Raise your hand: "Uncle Xie Peng is very loving, and the little nephew is in love." The little nephew has no intention of politics, he just wants to be a businessman who does his duty, no matter who the adult is, the little nephew has no intention of climbing! ”

"Virtuous nephew is ridiculous!" Peng Weilun waved his hand again and again, "China is different from Xiyi, there are no pure businessmen. If the virtuous nephew sells a needle and thread brain, and wants to make a small profit, he can not climb high. If a virtuous nephew wants to achieve great things, how can he achieve it if he doesn't climb high? The reason why Hu Xueyan became Hu Xueyan is because he climbed to the left middle hall. Lord Ding has this power, completely thanks to Li Zhongtang. The virtuous nephew has read more than 10,000 books, and he should understand it! ”

"Although what Uncle Peng said is true, it is not what the little nephew wants."

Peng Weilun was stunned: "Dare to ask what the virtuous nephew wants?" ”

"The one who asks for the little nephew, I am also independent. If you are attached to others, you will lose yourself, although you have gained, it is not my heart. As for the success or failure of the business, the little nephew did not agree with what Uncle Peng said. ”

"Virtuous nephew, please speak!"

As the saying goes, success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. The little nephew didn't dare to talk about Lord Ding, but as far as Hu Xueyan's predecessors were concerned, his success was also official, and his defeat was also official. If there is no dependence, relying on the wisdom of Hu Xueyan's predecessors, relying on the stage of the ten-mile foreign field, with the abundance of China's resources, and the fairness of market rules, it may not be impossible to achieve great things! ”

"Alas," Peng Weilun shook his head again, "Virtuous nephew, you are called naïve, how can Uncle Peng tell you?" He took a few sips of tea and pursed his mouth, "Okay, we'll talk about this later." Dare to ask the virtuous nephew, isn't this just to look at Uncle Peng? ”

"The little nephew wants to set up a completely commercial bank according to the foreigner model, and he is here to discuss with Uncle Peng!"

Peng Weilun and David Duan glanced at each other, stunned.

"Uncle Peng is well-informed and familiar with the money industry, and the little nephew is here for this banking matter, please ask Uncle Peng for advice!"

Peng Weilun came back to his senses, took a long breath, and turned to David: "Thank you, burn charcoal, I want to enjoy Gongfu tea with my nephew!" ”

Two hours later, Wu Jeju walked out of Daqing Bank, relaxed and happy. Peng Weilun not only supported him in running a bank, but also gave him a lot of tips on how to take the first few steps, and promised to mobilize Guangzhao merchants to become shareholders.

After taking a reassuring pill from Peng Weilun, Wu Jeju decided to strike while the iron was hot and enlist Cha Jinlai's support.

Runfengyuan went bankrupt, and only the big yard of the house was left for the huge family business.

After a series of tosses, Cha Jinlai was disheartened, went to Jing'an Temple to live in the temple for more than a month, and after coming out, he obviously figured out a lot of things, locked himself in the study, hung a string of Buddhist beads around his neck, or sat in meditation, or poured ink with a pen, and had no intention of doing business.

After listening to the grand ambition of opening a bank, Cha Jinlai closed his eyes for a moment, and then stood up again to sharpen his ink and write.

Jeju also stood up, waited in front of the desk, and watched him finish writing the entire "Heart Sutra", with his name and seal.

After Zha Jinlai did all this, he turned the rosary, muttered the scripture he had just written, raised his head, clasped his palms together for a while, picked up the text panel, and handed it to Jejeju: "Jerk, Uncle Cha gave you this handwriting." ”

He raised his hands to take it and bowed: "Uncle Xie Cha is rewarded, the little nephew must hang in the middle hall!" ”

"It's in my heart!" Cha Jinlai amendment.

Jeju took a breath and arched his hand: "Uncle Xie Cha corrects, the little nephew must know it by heart!" ”

"Jerk," Zha Jinlai sighed, "There are times in life, and there is no time in life to ask for it, the old master of Jing'an Temple said it well." Don't hide it from the virtuous nephew, Uncle Cha in front of him has already looked down on everything and understood everything, whether it is the Chamber of Commerce or the bank, Uncle Yu Cha is just something outside his body. ”

Jeju sank in his heart: "Uncle Cha has this feeling, and the little nephew is sincerely happy." The little nephew is here..."

Zha Jinlai waved his hand and stopped him: "If the virtuous nephew has nothing else to do...", he paused in the second half of the sentence, stretched out his hand to grind the ink, went to the bookshelf and took a stack of rice paper, selected one and spread it on the desk, and wrote with gestures.

Seeing that he had issued an "eviction order", he hesitated for a moment and arched his hand: "Uncle Xie Cha gave the word, and the little nephew said goodbye!" ”

Late at night, Baguio sat on the bed, thoughtful.

Downstairs, Jerk, who had been chatting with Qi Bo, finally went upstairs and pushed open the door.

Jerk to cover the door, pull out the mat from under the bed, spread it out, open the cabinet door, take out two brocade quilts, and lay them out.

Baguio's gaze turned to him, staring at him.

Jeju lay down on the bunk and looked at Baguio: "Baguio, pull the lamp." ”

Baguio didn't move, her eyes still fixed on him.

Jerk seemed to think of something, smiled, lifted the quilt, and stood up: "It's convenient for you, I'll go out." "Gesture to open the door.

Baguio shook her head, just staring at him.

Jeju paused and looked at her: "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Baguio pursed her lips.

Jeju stared at her for a while, smiled, and lowered his voice: "Baguio, yesterday in the Chamber of Commerce, guess who I saw?" ”

Baguio shook his head.

"Fu Xiaodi!"

Baguio's eyes lit up.

"I've told you, I've told him, he's going to be a baby!"

Baguio burst into tears, and after a long time, he choked up and said, "How can he... ”

"His eyes are dodging, but I see his eyes are wet!"

"You... lied to me!"

"Did I lie to you?"

Baguio's lips bit again, and tears flowed out more.

"Baguio, I can see that he still loves you! He has you in his heart! There are too many people, and I can't say anything to him. Baguio, don't worry, no matter how long the night is, it can't stop the dawn, and it's just a haze in front of you! ”

Baguio let out a soft "um" and nodded tearfully.

"Go to sleep, it's not too early for Chenguang." Jerk back to the bunk and lie down again.

The Baguio gates are pulled and the lights go out.

In the United States for a few years, David's English has grown rapidly, which just came in handy. With his assistance, Jerk quickly devoured the books and materials that Charlie had lent him, and wrote a plan for the establishment of the bank.

The Jerk carefully reviewed the plan, was convinced that it was feasible, and formally submitted it to Zhu Heyi.

Zhu Heyi flipped through the pages one by one.

Obviously, for Zhu Heyi, this is a completely new field. Heyi didn't read a few pages, closed the plan, and smiled bitterly: "I don't understand." He looked at Jeju again, "According to this plan, I'm afraid I'll get a million taels of silver!" ”

"One million taels is not enough!"

"How much?"

"Three million taels!"

Heyi gasped: "How much? ”

"Uncle Zhu," Jeju replied, "If we want to stabilize the market, enhance confidence, level prices, and avoid disasters like the Fukang run and rubber storm, we must prepare for a large bank like HSBC." Unlike ordinary banks, our banks must show confidence to the people from the very beginning. Chinese people don't understand ideas, and what they value is only appearances. Therefore, the bank façade must be magnificent, to give people a sense of **, the bank floor must be owned, the scale of the bank must be huge, and all people who come to the bank must have confidence! ”

"yes, yes." Heyi nodded, "I said earlier, running a bank is not a trivial matter. It's just, how can I have a lot of silver..."

"Hehe," jeju said with a smile, "Uncle Zhu, you read on and look at the last page!" ”

Heyi looked at it, his brows gradually stretched, he slowly closed the booklet, closed his eyes and pondered.

"Uncle Zhu, Charlie Taipan gave me a trick, which is to build a bigger shelf first, and lay the foundation of a skyscraper at the beginning, as for the funds, you can come step by step, and gradually put it in place. No building is built overnight, it must be rammed from the foundation. Let's lay the foundation first! ”

"How do you lay this foundation?"

"A small start-up fee."

"How much?"

"800,000 taels!"

"Eight hundred thousand taels?" Zhu Heyi took another breath of cold air.

"Yes, 500,000 taels for the purchase of the storefront, 100,000 taels for the renovation and purchase of utensils, and 200,000 taels for the opening! As for the opening, there will be savings funds coming in, which can be used for lending, creating a virtuous circle, in which we can continue to absorb funds, gradually expand the scale of the bank, and eventually become a super bank like HSBC. ”

"What kind of façade room is worth a lot of money?"

"McGee!"

Heyi took a breath: "Mackay Yoko? ”

"Mackay & Co. is located on Nanjing Road, facing the Huangpu River in the east, Suzhou Creek in the north, and HSBC, Daosheng and Citigroup in the south.

Heyi nodded: "Yes." ”

"And that's not the most important thing!"

"Oh?"

"The most important thing is the name of Mackay & Co. We use this as a façade for two symbols: one is a symbol of our ambition, where we fall, we get up. The second symbolizes our courage to run our own bank and shout to foreigners! ”

Heyi's voice was vigorous and powerful: "Yes." ”

"The last role is influence. The Chinese let McGee cheat, the names of McGee and Watson are known to everyone, we don't need to invest a penny in advertising, and the name of the bank will spread all over the corners of Shanghai overnight! ”

"It's good, it's just this building..."

"I've inquired that McGee had sold the building to a Japanese at a very low price of 400,000 taels before he fled. That Japanese intends to get rid of 600,000 taels, and I want to eat it with 500,000 taels! ”

"It's 100,000 short, he may not be willing!"

"McGee's reputation is too stinky in Shanghai, no foreigners have taken it over, and the Chinese can't take out a lot of money, and even if they get it, they can't think of any use, and the Japanese originally wanted to be greedy, but it became a hot potato. We asked him to earn 100,000 yuan, but he couldn't ask for it. ”

"It's a good thing." Heyi nodded again and again, "That building, if it was in the past, would be worth 1.2 million taels to say the least, and McGee will sell 400,000 yuan, which is cheaper for that Japanese!" ”

"Yes."

"Jerk," Heyi was full of confidence, "you will be the initiator, and I wish Uncle all his strength." Although Uncle Zhu didn't have any cash, he still had some belongings, so he got it to HSBC and had no problem betting out 100,000 taels of silver. As for the rest of the money, we can raise it slowly through the Chamber of Commerce! ”

Jerk arched his hand: "Thank you Uncle Ding!" ”

In Ding's mansion, in the big study, Lord Ding sat in meditation and turned a string of wooden beads. Mrs. Ru stood behind him and beat her shoulders, squatting two pet dogs in front of her, and then standing Che Kang and Zhang Shijie in front of her.

Che Kang whispered: "Master, I want to see you in the stone code." ”

Lord Ding's expression was disgusted: "Send him away." ”

"Yes." Che Kang turned around and went out.

"Shijie," Lord Ding looked at Zhang Shijie, "What is the progress of the negotiation between the Four Nations Bank and Lord Tang on their road payment?" ”

"Returning to the master," Shi Jie responded, "Lord Tang insisted on the plan given by the master, and the Bank of the Four Nations basically agreed, but in the end he signed and asked the master to appear." The bank also invited the chairman of the Ministry of Industry to attend as an observer. ”

"Hehehe, it seems that the old face is not small."

In addition, the Bank of the Four Nations proposed that the first loan be tentatively set at 5 million taels, and thereafter the loan will be repaid in 10 installments depending on the construction of the railway, so as to avoid misappropriation by relevant personnel. The bank has the right to supervise the use of the first installment of the loan! ”

"I didn't say that." Lord Ding nodded heavily, "With the supervision of foreigners, there will be fewer moths, and you can ensure that the loan is used properly." Is the signing date fixed? ”

"It's set, ten o'clock in the morning the next day!"

"Very good. The prince urged the old man to enter Beijing, saying that there was an urgent matter, so he would leave later in the day after tomorrow. Lord Ding turned to Mrs. Ru, "I will go to Beijing after the signing, you can arrange it." ”

"Okay."

Seeing that Shijie was still standing, Lord Ding looked at him: "Shijie, what else is the matter?" ”

"The General Chamber of Commerce wants to set up a completely commercial bank, and recently held a meeting of the general board of directors to decide. This is a preparatory plan, how to deal with Shijie, dare not be good at specialization, please decide! Shijie presented the draft plan with both hands.

Lord Ding took it, looked at Mrs. Ru, frowned, and said to himself: "The General Chamber of Commerce? Completely commercial bank? Hurriedly flipping through the plan, his eyes fell on the last page, "Wu Jeju?" ”

"It's quite a move. At present, he is a full-time assistant to Zhu Heyi. ”

Lord Ding took a long breath and raised his head: "Call Zhu Heyi, let Wu Ting come quickly, the old man is invited!" Then he turned to Mrs. Ru, "Arrange the main hall, concierge!" ”

Shijie and Mrs. Ru each responded and hurriedly walked out.

Lord Ding's gaze returned to the plan, and he carefully flipped through the pages page by page.

Shijie called Zhu Heyi, and the person who answered the phone happened to be a jerk, so he put down the microphone and rushed over.

Che Kang and Shijie greeted them outside the door and connected to the main hall.

The jerk has seen the salute and waited for the bow.

Lord Ding picked up the plan and stared at the jerk: "Jerk, seeing this plan, the old man values you even more!" ”

Raise your hand: "Lord Xie loves it!" ”

"Your ideas are very good and bold, and they have opened the eyes of the old decay. To tell you the truth, on whether to set up a bank, Lao Yu and Li Zhongtang discussed many times, and Lao Yu insisted that banks and money banks are not the same thing, money banks belong to the past, banks belong to the future, and will become a sharp weapon to stabilize the country's banking industry. Think back then, the old language and tone were the same as your plan today. ”

Jerk handed over again: "Late and immature, I dare not compare with adults!" ”

"Hehehe," Master Ding laughed a few times, "People are from immaturity to old age, although the old man was older than you, he was also very vigorous. Fortunately, Li Zhongtang favored the old decay and allowed the decay to try it out, so that today's Huitong Bank was born. ”

"Late life has the courage to ask adults to help you become a completely commercial bank!"

"It's not difficult for the old man to help you, it's just that helping each other is mutual, if you want the old man to help you, you should also help the old man!"

"Thanks to the wrong love!" Jerk his hand, "Dare to ask adults, how can I help adults when I am born late?" ”

"I heard that you are a scholar, full of Confucian classics, committed to the imperial examination, and interested in a career. At present, the following strong surroundings, the state affairs are difficult, the ancestral industry of the Qing Dynasty is crumbling, the country is at the time of employing people, the old man is difficult to support alone, although there is no lack of talented people under his subordinates, there are not many people with big ambitions and righteous spirits like you. If you don't give up, you can be funded by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications to send you to Tokyo, Japan for further study for three months, take a step into the body, and if you succeed in your studies, you can stay by the old man's side and serve the country! ”

Jerk handed over again: "Adults preference, late life is grateful." It's just that I am suffering from my late life, so please forgive me! ”

"What do you have to worry about, can you tell me?"

"In his late childhood, he was indeed determined to take the imperial examination, wanting to enter the government to save the country. The road to the imperial examination was abolished, the heart of entering the office was disillusioned, and he learned from the pain in his later life, and he had another ambition to take the road of industrial salvation. This ambition has been made clear in the gods of heaven and earth in his later life, and he does not dare to have a whisk, and he hopes that the adults will be clear! ”

"Very good," Lord Ding did not unapprove, "this ambition is also the wish of the old decay." You have also seen that the old man is in his official career, but he has never sought the country with empty words, and has spared no effort to set up industries for many years to activate the blood of the Qing Dynasty. Since you are here, you can also do what you want. Although Huitong is a government-run bank, it is only nominal, and most of the shares are owned by businessmen. Because of business, it is controlled by the old decay, and because of the official, it belongs to the old decay, and the old decay has the absolute right to speak in this line. The old decay has long belonged to you, and I think Shijie has conveyed my sincerity. Lao Yu pleaded in person today, I hope you can bend to Huitong, first follow Shijie to familiarize yourself with the business, and then follow Lao Yu into Beijing, coordinate the head office, and take charge of the overall situation of Huitong! ”

Jeju pondered for a long time, and then bowed his hand again: "The adults love so much, and it is difficult to repay the liver and brain in the late life." It's just that although Huitong is big, it is not what you want in your later life, and I hope that your adult will forgive me! ”

Lord Ding said this, but he was still politely rejected by the jerk, which was really unexpected, and his face was quite embarrassed.

Mrs. Ru couldn't hold back, and her voice was cold: "Wu Jeju, what do you want, can you explain?" ”

"Mrs. Hui," jerk arched his hand at her, "what I wish in my later life is that I have an independent personality and start my own business!" ”

If the lady's fingers trembled, she pointed at him: "You..."

"Hehehe," Lord Ding waved his hand and laughed dryly, "It's true that everyone has their own ambitions." Good luck, young man! Che Kang to the side, "Send off!" ”

"Late retirement!" Leave your hands in jerk, slowly retreat a few steps, turn around, and stride out.

Che Kang sent it out and sent it all the way to the outside of the gate.

Jerk arched his hand: "Mr. Che, please stay!" ”

Che Kang didn't return the favor, and his tone was cold: "Wu Jeju, Che Mou came out with you, not to send you, just to send you a word!" ”

"Please!"

"Don't give face, it's against Tai Kee!"

"Anything else?"

"Against Tai Kee, you must understand the consequences!"

"I knew it before I came!"

"What do you understand?"

"Don't be a person like a car bookkeeper!"

Che Kang's face turned white: "What's wrong with me?" ”

"I've always been hunched and talking!"

Che Kang pointed to the jerk, his hands trembling: "You..."

Jeju smiled at him, bowed his hand slightly, turned around, and walked away.

The jerk didn't go far, and a person flashed out on the side of the road.

Jeju was taken aback, looked at it closely, and shouted, "Brother Chen! ”

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that, right?" Chen Jiong leaned up and stretched out his hand.

Jerk holds: "I really didn't expect it." Brother Chen, what's the matter? ”

"Borrow a step to speak!" Chen Jiong dragged him to a quiet place and stared at him, "There is an urgent matter down there to discuss with Brother Wu." ”

"What's the matter?" Jerk asked.

"The Merchant Group."

"What's wrong with the merchant group?"

"There are a few members of the group who are kind to Zaixia, they haven't trained for a long time, and their hearts are itchy, so they asked me about it. The business group is a chamber of commerce, and it is only an external head of teaching, so it is difficult to answer, so you can only ask Brother Wu. I heard that Brother Wu has been promoted to assistant prime minister, and he should be able to give a satisfactory answer! ”

"If you have a beginning, you should continue to do so. It's just that after the rubber stock, the Chamber of Commerce is in ruins, and it can't take care of this matter for the time being. However, after making a decision to report Brother Chen's questions to the prime minister, when the time is ripe, let the merchant group resume training. ”

"Brother Xie Wu!"

Jeju stared at him: "I'm afraid Brother Chen isn't just for this matter, right?" ”

"Brother Wu is an eye poison. There is indeed one more thing to stop you. Dare to ask Brother Wu, what are you doing in a hurry to enter the Ding Mansion? ”

Jeju stared at him and said word by word: "Brother Chen, is this stalking me?" ”

"This, this, this..." Chen Jiong smiled awkwardly, "Brother Wu misunderstood." Don't hide it from Brother Wu, the one who is staring at the bottom is surnamed Ding, and if there is any discrepancy in the house, he can't escape from the lower eyeliner. When I heard that Brother Wu was coming to the door, I couldn't help but be curious, so I took the liberty to stop Brother Wu. ”

"I was summoned by Lord Ding. He wanted to ask me to work in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications as his assistant. ”

Chen Jiong was shocked: "Brother Wu has ever responded?" ”

Jerk shook his head.

Chen Jiong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if you don't respond." If we do, you and I won't be able to be brothers. ”

"Brother is love, not friend or foe, Brother Chen divides the two too much, it's unfair."

"The revolution has only enemies and friends, and there is no affection, and this is a lesson that has been paid for blood." Chen Jiongyi was stern, "If Brother Wu joins the Ding Mansion, he can only become the enemy of the revolution, and you and my brother can only part ways!" ”

What Brother Chen said, I dare not agree. If the revolution must divide the people of the world into two enemies, it is better to counter-revolution! ”

"Okay, good," Chen Jiong was stunned for a moment and laughed, "You and my brother don't talk about this." Brother Wu is not in the company of the traitor Ding Chengen, this is enough! ”

"Traitor? Where does this begin? ”

"If Brother Wu has leisure, he can go to a place with him, watch a few things, and everything will be refreshing!"

Jerk pondered: "I am willing to be taught!" ”

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Ren Bingqi cleaning up the site with more than a dozen brothers, and a few masons repairing the gate.

Seeing the two of them coming in, Bingqi, who was on the pink wall, raised his hand, which was counted as a greeting.

Chen Jiong pointed to various factories: "Brother Wu, how is this place?" ”

Jerk replied: "Brother Chen won't let you watch this, right?" ”

"Exactly. This is just purchased in the next place, please ask Brother Wu to consult and see what use it can be. ”

"Open a martial arts hall."

"Hey," Chen Jiong was shocked, "Brother Wu is a god, how can he coincide with him?" ”

"It's not a god, it's Brother Zhichen. Brother Chen is not a businessman and does not buy real estate, but he bought a huge factory, and the goal can only be to gather people. This place is empty, the environment is private, easy to enter and exit, and within the concession, if you open a martial arts hall in a grand place, you can not only hide people's eyes and ears, but also reserve talents! ”

Chen Jiong arched his hand: "I'm subduing you." ”

"Dare to ask Brother Chen, where is the treasure?"

Chen Jiong pointed to the front and entered the courtyard: "It's in front!" ”

The two walked into a small courtyard located in the corner of the factory.

The courtyard has been renovated, and the main room has been converted into Chen Jiong's office and conference room, with a large "Wu" character written on the front wall, and a side door next to it, apparently his bedroom.

Chen Jiong pointed to the room and said with a smile: "From now on, Brother Wu will come here sooner or later if he wants to find him." That hall is indecent after all! ”

"Yes." Jerk echoed, "Those who achieve great things can't start under their skirts." ”

Chen Jiong was shocked: "Where is this dictionary?" ”

Jerk pointed at his nose: "Wu jerk." ”

Chen Jiong punched him: "I knew you would laugh shamefully, and sure enough, it came." ”

The two laughed.

Ting stopped laughing: "I am in a hurry, dare to ask Brother Chen where the treasure is?" ”

Chen Jiong glanced out, bolted the door, walked to the corner, removed the bookcase, opened the mechanism, and a storage room appeared, took out a box from it, opened it, took out a few telegrams, walked over, and handed it to Jejeju: "Brother Wu, please take a look!" ”

Jerk took it: "Brother Chen is relieved to be in the next ho!" ”

"I only guard against two people on the beach, one is my sister, and the other is Brother Wu!"

After reading the message, Jeju frowned, squinted his eyes, and looked at Chen Jiong.

"Brother Wu, these messages are a big game!"

"What big chess?"

"The world's big chess!"

"In the next eye, please explain in detail Brother Chen!"

"All messages point to one place, the railway. The railway can be the biggest black curtain to cover the Qing Dynasty, as long as this curtain is lifted, the Qing Dynasty will become a dead insect under the sun. ”

Thinking of the Shidian Law, Jeju was shocked in his heart: "Brother Chen refers to the Sichuan-Han Railway?" ”

"It's all state-owned railways, including Sichuan-Han."

Jeju felt a chill in his heart: "Please explain it in detail!" ”

"Foreigners set up railways in China, the Qing court did not know what the railways were, they resisted at first, and then saw that foreigners made a windfall through the railways, and set off a patriotic frenzy of road construction from top to bottom, there was Zhang Zhidong in the south, Li Hongzhang in the north, and the provinces rushed up, from the state-owned to the private, and they all started the railway project, and successively established 17 railway companies, each company under its umbrella, and set up a number of branches. This is the general trend in the past few years, and Brother Wu must have seen it! ”

Jerk nodded.

"However, the railway is different from opening a small factory and a store, and requires huge financial support. For example, the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway has already been signed to foreigners, and the Chinesemen must first redeem the right of way from the foreigners before they can continue to build it. Not to mention the others, the Hunan section alone is 1,200 miles long, and the total amount of funds for the redemption and later road construction is about 40 million taels. The Sichuan-Han Railway is even more costly, from Chengdu to Yichang alone, the budget is at least 90 million taels. By the year before last, the total length of the railways to be built in the provinces was about 6,000 li, and the total budget was no less than 200 million taels. The Qing Dynasty treasury has been empty for a long time, and foreign debts and indemnities are riddled with so many railway projects, how can it be embarrassing? ”

Jeju gasped, and sighed: "Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to master a lot of materials and have a comprehensive understanding of the country!" ”

Chen Jiong smiled bitterly: "Sun Tzu said, 'Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles'." In the next fight against the Qing Dynasty, I have to work hard! ”

"Dare to ask Brother Chen, where is the shady?"

"It's all over the company." Chen Jiongkan said, "The country has no money, and what the local government lacks is money." Where does the money come from, from every household? Companies around the country have raised the banner of patriotism, calling for donations and donations, and many places are even more rigid apportionment by the government, adding road donations to the tax donations per acre, especially in the three provinces of Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei, that is, the companies of the Guangdong-Hanzhou and Sichuan-Han railways, which levy 'leased shares', that is, renting shares instead of shares. The people were originally suffering from harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but they were forced to hand over 'rented shares' and be treated as shareholders, which was even more miserable, so that the road changed and the people's grievances boiled! ”

"This is a public grievance, not a shady scene!"

"Behind the scenes are these so-called railroad companies. Most of these companies were formed by ** appointed officials in collusion with local hooligan gentry. This group of people colluded with officials and businessmen, colluded with each other, formed interest groups, and under the guise of railways, they were like bloodsucking worms and fed on the people! ”

"Under the guise of a railway?"

"Yes. Take the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway as an example, the Sichuan section of the railway needs a total of 50 million taels. The local tax donations raise 3 million taels of shares every year, and so far for eight consecutive years, there are only 8 million taels on the account! ”

Jerk was shocked: "What about the rest of the money?" ”

"It was overdrawn and misappropriated by people inside and outside the company under various names. Employees need to spend, corrupt officials need to squander, and the additional expenses of the company itself, which are the operating costs you mentioned, are not less than one million taels per year, and those that are really used for road construction are only millions. The road has not yet been built, and nearly seventy percent of the road has been consumed in vain. ”

"Isn't there anyone checking the accounts?"

"Check it, check it every year." Chen Jiong sneered, "However, since it is shady, how can you check it?" The shady curtain is from top to bottom, even the emperor's relatives and relatives, and even the ruffians and hooligans below, even if they are checked, it is just a formality. At first, it was a self-inspection by the company, then by the General Administration of Railways, then by the Ministry of Commerce, and finally by the branch of the government. Anyone who comes to check is in the dark, check and check, the more you check, the more confused you become, if anyone is seriously pressed, someone simply comes to a fire, burns all the relevant account books, and gives him a headless account. ”

Jerk shuddered: "Oh my God, the remaining eight million taels, five million but..."

"Yes, let the living national treasure of the stone code law be thrown into the Huangpu River to play in the water!"

"A national treasure?"

"Hahahaha," Chen Jionglang laughed a few times, "these people are the demons of the Qing Dynasty, and they are the treasures of the revolution." Without these dog-day moths, how could the broken ship of the Qing Dynasty sink fast! ”

Jerk gasped and subconsciously looked at a few messages.

"Brother Wu," Chen Jiong's gaze also looked over, "the magic of this situation is in these messages." These messages are all related to the Stone Codex Law. Shi Dianfa is a flag man, and he is also a royal family. The elder sister of the stone code law has passed the current regent, and the stone code law has an accident, and his sister went to the regent palace to cry and hang herself, and the regent had no choice but to authorize Ding Chengen to settle the matter. Ding Chengen had already seen through the shady curtain of the railway, and took advantage of this to make a move, wanting to nationalize the private railways in various places, and then sell the right of way in Sichuan and Han to foreigners, and borrow 50 million taels from the banks of the four countries to fill this huge black hole! ”

"If it's a loan, it's not a sale of the right of way!"

"Foreigners don't take out loans in vain, so they will naturally put forward additional conditions, that is, the railway must be built by foreigners, and then operated by foreigners for 50 years, until all the loans are recovered!"

"It makes sense, too."

"The key is that once the railways are nationalized, there will be no more taxes, and the railway companies and subsidiaries in various places must be dissolved, which is tantamount to cutting off the financial resources of this nest of moths, and it is to poke down the hornet's nest!"

Jeju pondered for a long time: "This hornet's nest should be poked!" ”

"Yes, from this point of view, Ding Chengen can be a capable minister of the Qing Dynasty, he can see clearly, grasp accurately, and dare to make a move. Brother Wu should know why he paid attention to your dealings with this person, and why he shot him several times. Since this person is a capable minister of the Qing Dynasty, he is a great disaster for the revolution! At that time, Zai Xia was bent on taking his life, but unfortunately the distance was far away, so he escaped! ”

Straightened up and said goodbye: "I've been taught!" ”

Chen Jiong also got up, grabbed his hand, looked directly at the jerk, full of anticipation: "I have a lot of introductions in the next talk, but I still want to pull my brother into the water!" Brother Wu, the Qing Dynasty is a grasshopper in winter, the frost and snow have fallen, and it looks like it is about to freeze. Let's do it, Brother Wu, you and I join forces and are invincible! ”

Jeju took off and gave his hand again: "Brother Xie Chen trusts." Brother Chen, everyone has their own ambitions, and he has already made it clear that he is only interested in business in this life. By the way, a bank is being set up in the future, and if Brother Chen has surplus capital, he can buy shares! ”

Chen Jiong was anxious: "Brother Wu..."

The two looked at each other.

The jerk was unmoved.

"I'm subduing you." Chen Jiong retracted his gaze and said with a wry smile, "Okay, you and I will go our separate ways." However, your bank can be a share in the next! When to raise shares, under but listen to orders! ”

Jerk handed over again: "Brother Xie Chen!" ”

Chen Jiong bid farewell to the jerk and returned to the hospital.

Bingqi walked over: "Uncle Shi, my aunt asked you to go to Weixu Garden, but you forgot about it!" ”

Chen Jiong also remembered that his sister asked him to visit the garden yesterday, looked at his watch, and hurriedly went out.

The weather is fine, and the people come and go in the garden, which is very lively.

The open-air café was full of people, and Chen Jiong's eyes widened and he searched around.

Chen Jun, who was dressed in student clothes, was sitting in a corner, and when he saw him, he stood up and waved: "Brother, here!" ”

Chen Jiong walked over.

Chen Jun said angrily: "Brother, I have already made an appointment with you, so the family has to wait so hard!" ”

Chen Jiong smiled apologetically: "It's a bit of a matter, it's delayed." ”

"How can you look unrefreshed, who messed with you?"

"I'm a little tired." Chen Jiong smiled bitterly, "Let's talk about it, what's the matter, you must see Brother?" ”

"People want to ask you to inquire about something!"

"Speak."

"Does Brother know the Revolutionary Party?"

"Shhh ”

Chen Jun was emotional: "People want to join the revolutionary party!" ”

"Shhhhhh ”

"The sisters are preaching that only a revolutionary party can save China and allow women to be equal and not bullied by men. Everyone is saying that she is like a man, mighty and unyielding, knows martial arts, and her disciples are all very good, all of them are heroines, and they can also make ** miles! ”

Chen Jiong stared at his sister.

"Brother, you speak! I remember Xiao Chenguang, you always talk about the affairs of the revolutionary party, saying that you want to find the revolutionary party and do big things, but... how can you live with those gangsters? I won't tell you anything, that Ren Bingqi, I was not happy when I saw him, and I felt that he was not a person who walked the right path! ”

"Sister..."

"Hmm."

"Since you asked, Brother will tell you. In Shanghai, the biggest revolutionary is none other than your brother! ”

Chen Jun was dumbfounded: "Huh?!" ”

"Ren Bingqi too. The gang under him are not gangsters, they are all Elder Brother's people. Brother is planning a big thing, that is, to overthrow the Qing Dynasty**! ”

Chen Jun stared at him for a long time: "I don't believe it!" ”

"You don't even believe in Brother anymore?"

"I believe in Brother, but... tell me this, do you know Mr. Sun Yat-sen? He is the biggest revolutionary! ”

Chen Jiong laughed: "Brother went to Japan and has been following Mr. Sun, and Brother went to Shanghai, and he was appointed by Mr. Sun!" ”

"So... you're in the League?"

"The Shanghai branch of the alliance was built by Brother A, and Brother is preparing to build the Central General Association of the Alliance!"

"Oh my God!" Chen Jun was both surprised and delighted, pounced over, and hugged Chen Jiong tightly, "Brother, I'm in love with you!" ”

"Hehe," Chen Jiong smiled, "Speaking of this, Brother will tell you a story." Sister, don't you want to be a revolutionary? ”

Chen Jun's voice was excited: "Yes, yes, what should Brother let me do?" ”

"Make friends with someone!"

Chen Jun frowned: "It won't be that Ding again..."

"It's her, Ding Qianwen!"

Chen Jun's hair flicked, and his face turned to the side: "I don't want to pay attention to her!" ”

"Why?"

"It's so arrogant, like a rooster, no one wants to pay attention to her, sisters!"

"Sister, do you know where Miss Ding came from?"

Chen Jun shook his head.

"The pearl of Ding Chengen, a member of the first rank of the Qing Dynasty and the minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications!"

Chen Jun gasped: "No wonder she walks with her head raised, her eyes don't squint, and she doesn't look at people squarely, as if someone owes her an account!" ”

"Brother tried his best to arrange for you to live in the same room with her, in order to let you be friends with her!"

"Phew! If I had known that she was the daughter of a great traitor, I would rather die..."

Chen Jiong smiled: "Sister, do you know why Brother let you be friends with her?" ”

Chen Jun shook his head.

"If you make friends with the daughter of a great traitor, you will be able to get close to this great traitor, you will know how he has misled the country, and you will be able to..."

Chen Jun's eyes widened, and he said excitedly: "I know, Brother asked me to be a spy!" ”

"Ah Mei broke into her house, better than thousands of troops!"

Chen Jun was excited and clenched his fists: "Brother don't worry, look at my sister!" Suddenly remembered something, "By the way, brother, why are you unhappy when you haven't said Qingshuang?" ”

"Because of a friend!"

"What friend?"

"It's the Wu Jeju I told you about, your other brother!"

Chen Jun was energetic: "Tell me, how can he mess with you?" ”

Chen Jiong smiled bitterly: "Forget it, don't talk about it." ”

Chen Jun tugged at his sleeve and pouted: "Brother, people want to hear it!" ”

Chen Jiong raised his wrist and looked at his watch: "Okay, Brother will tell you." ”

Chen Jiong then briefly described how he met Wu Jeju and some of his feats after the jerk arrived in Shanghai, and Chen Jun heard the legend of the hero and asked the details from time to time. Seeing the sun set, Chen Jiong had to get up and say goodbye because he had to attend an important meeting.

Chen Jun returned to school, his steps became slower and slower, and the conversation between his brother and her in the Taste Garden echoed in his ears:

"Sensei sees the crowds on the beach, but in the eyes of Ah Ge, only three people are characters. The first is Mr. Shen, the second is Brother I, and the third is Wu Jeju! ”

"If that's the case, watch me drag him into the revolutionary ranks!"

"Sister, have you watched "Say Yue"? How can Jin Bing evaluate the Yue family's army? It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the Yue family. I also put a word to Ah Mei, shaking brother Yi, shaking Wu is difficult! ”

"Brother, you see, I'm going to look for that dead stubborn! If you don't drag him into the Alliance, I won't be your sister! ”

⋯⋯

Like Chen Jiong, Chen Jun is bloody and rational, paused in front of the girls' apartment building, and said to himself: "I really can't understand why Brother admires this Wu Jeju, presumably he funded Brother A, Brother thanked him and deified him." But... there are more people who have helped Brother, and there are few who let him take it. Whoever makes him obey must be amazing. What's so great about Wu Jeju? There is nothing great about being able to do business, there are more businessmen in Shanghai, and everyone has a bunch of stories! Shaking his head, "It seems that if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger!" "Look at the sky," it's still early, when I go back to the dormitory to change my clothes, I'll go to meet him, and see how many eyes he has in the end! ”

Chen Jun thought about it and strode upstairs.

Chen Jun lives in a room on the far left on the third floor, and Miss Ding lives with her, however, Miss Ding rarely stays, often leaves after class, and the dormitory bed is just a decoration, and Chen Jun actually lives alone.

As he approached the door, Chen Jun faintly heard the sound of crying.

Chen Jun was taken aback, paused, and listened carefully, the voice really came from her room.

Chen Jun stepped forward lightly, listened with his ear close to the door, and his crying was quiet, as if he was separated by something.

Chen Jun pushed the door.

The door was not latched.

Chen Jun came in and saw Miss Ding lying on the bed, her head covered in her quilt, sobbing.

"Qianwen?" Chen Jun asked in a low voice.

Ding Qianwen realized that it was her, but obviously didn't care about anything else, Gu Zi shrugged and twitched her shoulders.

Thinking of Chen Jiong's explanation, Chen Jun's mood changed greatly, he walked over, stretched out his hand to put his hand on her, and said in a soft voice: "Sister..."

The word "Sister" entered her heart, Ding Qianwen completely let go of her reserve, cried more sadly, and her voice was no longer depressed, but louder.

Chen Jun patted her gently, let her cry for a while, and her voice became softer: "Sister..."

Ding Qianwen stopped crying, got up, and sat on the edge of the bed, holding a letter in her hand.

Chen Jun took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears: "Sister, what's the matter?" If you can trust Ah Mei, tell Ah Mei about it. Speaking out, Sister Ah felt better. ”

Ding Qianwen looked at the letter in her hand: "He... sent me a letter, saying... This is the last letter, he... He can't write to me anymore!" ”

Chen Jun took a long breath: "Is it yours..." ”

Ding Qianwen nodded.

"Can you tell me about him?"

"His name is Fan Liyan, he grew up with me, and we are childhood sweethearts. Liyan's background is not good, his father is the gardener of my family, and he is a very good person. When my father saw that Liyan was smart and studious, he asked him to accompany my third brother to study. My third brother didn't read well, but he did. My third brother went to the United States to study, and I took him to accompany him. The third brother came back from skipping school, but he didn't return to Liyan, and was admitted to Harvard University, earning money while studying. We have been in correspondence for the past few years, and he said, he is pleased with me, and I am happy with him. ”

Chen Jun understood a little: "Sister, does he have a new love?" ”

Ding Qianwen shook her head: "No, he only has me in his heart, I know." ”

"Hey, without a new love, how can he say such heartless words to you?"

"It was my mom who forced him. My mother disagreed with the matter between the two of us, and my mother said that his family was a subordinate, and if I married him, my mother would have no face to see people. Every time my mother told me, I would push her, she didn't dare to force me, so she secretly wrote a letter to Liyan, asking Liyan not to contact me again, Liyan he..."

"Oops," Seeing Qianwen say something in her heart like this, Chen Jun was angry, and really regarded her as a sister, "Your mother is really old-brained!" She has a face and no face, what does it have to do with Sister A? Is it Sister A's marriage and life, or is your mother going to live with others? Sister, you don't care about her, just love. No one in my house dared to take care of me. My brother also assured me that my affairs were up to me. ”

"I'm so envious of you." Ding Qianwen wiped her tears, "Sister, you say, how can Sister do this?" ”

Chen Jun thought for a moment: "Sister, I want to ask you about two things. ”

"You speak."

"Do you really love this Mr. Fan?"

Ding Qianwen nodded solemnly: "Yes." ”

"Without Mr. Fan, can you go on?"

"I'm going to die!"

"If you say that, you can write him a reply letter and tell him that if he doesn't marry in this life, if he says anything ruthless, you will die!"

Ding Qianwen's eyes widened.

"Sister, you just have to write, this trick is called putting death and rebirth. You're not really dead, you're just scaring him. A man is soft-hearted, and if he truly likes you, he will not let you die. Now it is you who have the upper hand, and he does not dare to climb you. Seeing that you are determined to die for him, he will be steadfast! If he really lets you die, he doesn't love you, but loves you for something else, such a person is not worthy of Sister A's love, Sister turn back as soon as possible! ”

Ding Qianwen nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, sister, I listen to you, I'll write to him!" ”

"Hehe, Sister, what does he look like, you describe it to Sister, let Sister Tell Sister whether Sister is worth writing for this person!"

Ding Qianwen didn't say a word, opened the box, took out a notebook from it, took out a black and white photo from the notebook, and handed it to Chen Jun.

Chen Jun admired it and clenched his fists: "Oh my God, what a handsome guy, my sister's eyesight is so good!" ”

Ding Qianwen's face turned crimson: "He's better than the photo!" I love the sound of his speech! He speaks really good English, just like a foreigner! ”

"It's strange that Sister Dao wants to die for him!"

"Sister, do you have anyone in your heart?"

Chen Jun thought for a moment: "Well, I have two people in my heart!" ”

"Huh?" Ding Qianwen was stunned, "Two people! What are the two of you? ”

"One is my elder brother, and the other is Wu Jeju!"

Ding Qianwen breathed a sigh of relief and burst out laughing: "Sister, your own brother can't be counted, you can tell me about this Wu Jeju!" ”

"This..." Chen Jun made a bitter face, "I haven't seen him yet, how can I talk about it?" ”

"Huh?" Ding Qianwen became more and more stunned, "You haven't seen him, how can he be your sweetheart?" ”

"Hehe," Chen Jun approached her, "Sister, let's take a look at him in the Ming Dynasty, you helped me get by!" ”

"How can this be done? There is no such thing as going to meet people! ”

"Isn't it just a person, what's the big deal? Let's find an excuse at random, can he eat us both? ”

"If my mother knew, wouldn't it..." Ding Qianwen paused and stuck out her tongue.

"Hahaha," Chen Jun made a strange face at her, "will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected." Besides, if you don't talk about it, how can she know? ”

Ding Qianwen was moved: "Where is Wu Jeju?" ”

"General Chamber of Commerce!"

That night, Ding Qianwen didn't go home, and talked with Chen Jun all night, chatting about Fan Liyan in the first half of the night, chatting about Wu Jeju in the second half of the night, and when it was dawn, the two girls' hearts were close together.

It was a Sunday. The two washed their faces with cold water, changed into student clothes, prepared some food, summoned two rickshaws, and rushed to the general business association.
