Chapter 41 The Great Cause of Making Money
After a period of inquiry, Wang Bo found that the market outside was simply full of countless business opportunities, and of course this was what he saw through the eyes of a person who is familiar with history in the 21st century.
Now in the whole of China, most of the things used by the government and the people are imported from foreign countries, such as ash, fire, socks, pancreas, nails, and pens, which are actually cement, matches, cotton socks, soap, iron nails, and pens.
At this time, the fountain pen was called a fountain pen, which was very difficult to use, and even the ballpoint pen had not yet been invented, and there were other very simple daily necessities such as lighters, which were business opportunities!
Just such a small daily necessities can make a lot of money, and Wang Bo seems to see gold all over the ground waiting for him to pick it up.
But because he has no factory, no production line, the most important thing is technology! Don't be afraid, though, he has the Super Evolution System as a cheat.
He asked Xue'er, in exchange for some very common technical information, only a small amount of energy points can be used, with technology, plus he has more than a ton of gold starting capital, the next thing is to open a factory to buy machines and hire workers.
There are now 7,400 Power Points available in your hand, including the 3,000 Power Points you just awarded, which will not be available until the end of the movie world. However, the remaining 4400 energy points are enough to exchange for some technical information of ordinary daily necessities.
Although I don't understand the current market situation, other businessmen do!
He can sell some of his shares and bring in all those businessmen, these are profitable businesses, and I believe that no businessman will not be tempted.
Wang Bo set up a banquet and brought all the businessmen who had annexed Zhao Tianba's industry together before, and discussed with everyone about partnering in business.
He is now holding the identity of a celebrity valued by Lord Li Hongzhang Zhongtang, and he came forward to entertain everyone, who dares not to give face.
During this period, he pulled the banner as a tiger skin, and even coaxed and deceived everyone to persuade everyone that he had money, technology and official paving, and any businessman who was unwilling to partner was a fool.
Immediately after that, he was so busy that he couldn't wait to know how to do the trick, as long as he built the shelves for everything, he wouldn't have to be so busy that he didn't even have the time to take a bath and eat.
In the middle of the month, someone suddenly told him that Li Hongzhang invited him to a banquet. He didn't send anyone to find him for nearly half a month, and he was busy making money, so he almost forgot about Li Hongzhang.
Huaxia Guan's ideology is profound, and without official support, it is difficult for all his factories and businesses to do well, and Li Hongzhang's thick thighs have to be held tightly.
After a hurried bath, changed into clean clothes, and cleaned up decently, he rushed to the Li Mansion with his gifts.
Li Mansion already had servants waiting at the gate, respectfully welcomed Wang Bo into the mansion, Li Hongzhang still stood at the door waiting, Wang Bo hurriedly took two steps forward, saluted and said, "I have seen Lord Zhongtang." ”
Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "Come in and sit!" ”
After the two sat down in the hall, Li Hongzhang asked, "I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you doing?" ”
Wang Bo replied truthfully: "Except for learning medical skills and practicing lion dance with my master, most of the rest of the time is spent thinking about how to open a factory and do business. ”
Li Hongzhang nodded and said: "It's good to do industry, now the people need to run more industries, they all say that a rich country and a strong army, if you want to strengthen the army, you must be rich in the country, and if you want to be rich in the country, industry is indispensable." You did very well! But ......"
Wang Bo's ears were pricked up, according to the Chinese art of speaking, once the word "but" appears, there may not be any good words below.
Li Hongzhang looked at Wang Bo with burning eyes, "...... I've heard from the people below that someone is using my name to go around asking people to do things, I don't know if you know or don't know about it? ”
Wang Bo sighed in his heart, these days he invited Tang Renlian and many other Huai army generals to the restaurant for dinner, and took the opportunity to meet many officials through their relationship, and those officials also knew from Tang Renlian, these Huai army generals, that Wang Bo is currently a talent that Li Hongzhang particularly likes, and he has really done a lot of things in this name.
Now that he was told by Li Hongzhang, the main master, Wang Bo felt a little worried in his heart, he stood up and gave a salute, and said, "This...... Please forgive me, Lord Nakado, but that person is me. But! I didn't mean to do that! ”
"When I talked to those officials, they all asked me what I had to do with Lord Zhongtang, and I only said that I knew you, and that I had a few meals and met a few times thanks to your warm invitation. I don't know why those officials become more polite and respectful every time they hear it, and it is much easier to do things after that, and I have just returned to China, and this kind of thing is still difficult for me to understand. ”
Li Hongzhang looked at Wang Bo for a while, and said lightly: "It's not that you don't understand, I think you don't want to understand, pretending to be confused." ”
Wang Bo smiled awkwardly and said, "Lord Zhongtang's eyes are like a torch, so naturally he can't hide anything from you. These are all small things for me, and all you do are major national affairs, a few small sections, and you have a lot of adults, I believe you don't pay attention to them, right? Hehe......"
Li Hongzhang scolded with a smile: "Since ancient times, businessmen have been cunning, and it is true!" Anyway, you are a capable person, and you are also very smart, so you naturally know what you can and cannot do, and I don't care about you. So, you're a businessman, and I'll talk to you as a businessman. You have borrowed the old man's name, and we must calculate the remuneration for it. ”
Wang Bo's mind turned, pondered for a moment, and asked, "I don't know what Lord Zhongtang wants to calculate?" ”
Li Hongzhang said: "You won the military camp competition that day, and at the same time, you also asked for punishment because you injured many soldiers. This punishment is also punished, and the rest is to be rewarded for meritorious deeds. ”
"Originally, I wanted to reward you, but I have a lot of things to do these days, so I have put it off until now. This reward will be deducted from the name you borrowed from me. Do you have any objections to such a treatment? ”
What can Wang Bo say, of course, he has to say no.
Li Hongzhang said again: "And you have done a lot of things by borrowing my name, and only deducting this amount is not enough to offset the funds, so let's do it, you have some skills in training, you help me train a group of soldiers, remember!" Not the kind of soldier with a sword, gun and shield! It's a strong soldier who can use foreign guns and cannons! ”
In the latter words, he said very solemnly, and the look on his face changed from a kind old man to a non-angry and arrogant Zhongtang adult.
Wang Bo's heart sank, and he thought: "Finally to the point!" However, how can I train soldiers, those are just some superficial surfaces that I have seen from TV and movies. However, this training is exactly what I dreamed of. ”
After thinking about it, you can't be too enthusiastic, otherwise, it will be troublesome for Li Hongzhang to see something.
He pretended to look embarrassed and said bitterly: "Lord Zhongtang, I have a little bit of experience in military training, but do you know how those hundred soldiers were trained in just one month? I smashed a lot of money to get it out! They are so desperate, all for the sake of the silver, if there is no silver, they would have torn me up a long time ago! Forgive me for not being able to ...... this."
Li Hongzhang said suddenly: "Didn't you borrow my name to open a lot of factories?" This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for you. You have thought clearly, how can my Li Hongzhang's name be borrowed by just one person? Have you ever seen anyone in the world who dares to borrow it? (To be continued.) )
