Chapter 59 All Living Beings

"Brother Meritorious Service, I don't know if my uncle's body is good! I haven't seen his old man for a long time!" He Wenliang said with a smile to the tall and thin middle-aged man sitting next to him, wearing a robe and a short beard on his chin.

"Hehe, thank you Brother Hong Shi for your concern, Zhensheng is here to thank my father! During this time, I want to go to Fuzhou to visit Uncle He!" Liu Zhensheng said with a smile.

To tell the truth, he is really a little envious of the current He family, a family affair made them lean on a big tree! Not to mention anything else, it is the He family's silk reeling factory in Shanghai, which earned nearly 100,000 yuan in silver last year, but the dazzling white flowers are very dazzling! This is not counted, but it is the railway built in Taiwan, and the annual profit is more than 100,000 taels of silver, which is a serious business income, not corruption! Therefore, this also makes the descendants of other high-ranking officials and dignitaries drool with envy!

Although all of them are the sons and daughters of the ministers of the Westernization faction, they are familiar with the way of going to the door, building relationships, and forming parties for personal gain! But when it comes to running factories, they are real laymen! Besides, the money they have made on the land in these years is not as much as they imagined, and if each family does not want to make new money, then when the official figures of each family return to their hometowns, the number of family members increases, and the expenses are greater, the family's downfall will not be far off!

Therefore, in this situation where almost all the families were looking for new ways to make money, the situation of the He family's mouthful of oil eating in the factory was also put on the table of the heads of each family! And the gradually huge business family, the Huo family, also came into everyone's sight! It was only then that they discovered that such a huge family had risen in Taiwan, the original land of Huahua!

One can imagine how surprised they looked after learning about the Huo family's wealth on the surface! The rich and rivaling the country had only heard about it before, but now they had finally seen it with their own eyes! The big factories with an investment of one million or even tens of millions of dollars were all white silver! With such a huge wealth around them, these high-ranking officials and dignitaries who hold power are of course very excited, but the wealth of the Huo family is too huge, and all kinds of relationships are even more intertwined, coupled with the identity of He Jing, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, who is a family member, so that they have scruples and dare not use force, so they can only cooperate in the way of cooperation, hoping to bring wealth to their family like the He family!

Therefore, after getting the news of this auction, they sent important children of each family one after another, brought the wealth accumulated by the family for several generations, and rushed to Taiwan almost non-stop!

"Brother Hong Shi, I have a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree!" After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zhensheng looked at him and said slowly.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he still quickly replied: "Brother meritorious service, please say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help!" "The old man of his own family and Liu Kunyi are both Westernists now! Standing in the same camp, if the matter is not too difficult, it is not good to do a favor! Otherwise, it will be difficult to ask for something in the future to go to other people's land!

Seeing the flash of worry in He Wenliang's eyes, he said with a smile: "Brother Hong Shi, don't worry, this matter of mine is just a gesture for Brother Hong Shi!" After a pause, Liu Zhensheng picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, moistened his throat, and then said solemnly: "I don't know, Brother Hong Shi can introduce me to the patriarch of the Huo family! I want to go and meet it!"

The Huo family is very mysterious in the eyes of everyone, and usually everyone only knows Huo Tian, Huo Di and Huo Huang who are in charge of the family business outside! The real person in charge of the Huo family, ordinary people don't know!

Of course, Huo Shan's existence is hidden behind the scenes of the Huo family, and he is generally not the real leader of the Huo family, and he doesn't know that the current head of the Huo family is already a seven-year-old child!

"Oh, I can help with that! but ......!"

"Is there anything unspeakable about Brother Hong Shi?" Seeing the hesitant expression on He Wenliang's face, Liu Zhensheng couldn't help but hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, Brother Meritorious Service misunderstood! It's just that the person in charge of all the things of the Huo family is now the head of the Huo family, and the head of the family has no outsiders! But I can help you pass the news, as for whether you can see anyone in the end, then I can't guarantee it!" He Wenliang said hesitantly.

After hearing his words, Liu Zhensheng was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, as long as Brother Hong Shi is willing to help me with this, I will be grateful! To be honest, I envy Brother Hong Shi very much!"

He Wenliang smiled proudly, of course he understood the meaning of Liu Zhensheng's words, to be honest, he is very satisfied with this family business now!

"What is the harvest of our money bank this time?" Huo Shan stood behind the stage, looked at the dense crowd in the lobby through the crack in the door and asked with a smile.

"Hehe, they are all rich lords! Up to now, the amount of silver deposited in our bank has been close to 80 million taels! There are also a large number of other shops, factories, house deeds, land deeds, jewelry, curios, antiques, and other valuable things! In total, these wealth have exceeded 100 million taels of silver!" Fu Bole said hehehe.

"Great! There are too many rich people in China!" Huo Shan smashed his mouth and smiled happily!

"Yes, these people usually spend money to pick and search, but I didn't expect that there are a lot of belongings at home!"

"Well, Chinese like to hide gold and silver, the wealth buried in the family for several generations must be a lot of wealth, usually not needed, so it has been buried in the ground mold, but last year we made so much money in Taiwan's big factory, they are in their eyes, so this good opportunity to make a fortune, how could they miss it!" Huo Shan said with a positive face.

"Fauber, how is the thing I told you?"

"We have already given the young master's words! The Huo family's money bank will be renamed 'Bank of China'! In addition, we have already started the business assigned by the young master, such as gold and silver deposits, mortgage loans, and financial investment! Moreover, we have already acquired many small money banks and opened our branch banks in every prefecture and county of the Qing Dynasty! However, the situation is not very stable in the border areas that are too far away, and we don't have so many knowledgeable personnel, so we haven't been stationed yet!"

"Well, I see! In the future, our branch banks in the border provinces will follow behind our army, and if they occupy a place, then we will follow!

He also knows that he can't become a fat man by eating one bite! Although the scale of the Huo family's money bank was already very large in the past, and it has also cultivated many loyal, reliable, and knowledgeable financial personnel over the past 10 years! However, after expanding to the whole of China, the Indochina Peninsula, and the entire South China Seas, it has already expanded to the limit! If we want to move in the direction of the World Bank in the future, we still need more financial talents to join!

"Fauber, how many people are here this time? I see this hall is almost full!"

"So far, there are almost a thousand people here! There are almost four or five of each factory competing!" said Fauber with a smile as he looked out through the crack in the curtain as they waited for the auction to begin.

"Oh, really? There are already so many of them?"

"Hehe! Yes, young master! Last year, we had a lot of movements! They are not fools, and naturally they know that they can only make a lot of money by investing in industry now!"

"That's right! If that's the case, my goal has been achieved! That's right, Fubo! There are so many people who have come this time, and the competition in price is definitely fierce! Therefore, after buying these factories, they themselves will definitely not have much silver! When the time comes, you send someone to contact them, and say that the Huo family can give them a loan, and the interest rate will be lowered at that time! These people are all big bosses, as long as they keep their wealth in our bank, then when they get used to the convenience and speed of inter-bank transfers, they will be inseparable from us! In addition, big customers like this are the bulk of our annual bank income! Moreover, their influence will drive more people to our Bank of China to deposit and take out loans! When the time comes, the intangible wealth of 'reputation' will bring us unimaginable wealth!" Huo Shan turned around and ordered Fu Bo with a somewhat serious expression.

"Yes, young master, I know what to do!"

Hearing his words, Huo Shan nodded, the old man has always been very steady in his work, and he is also very reassured! The Huo family has been able to develop to this level in more than a year, and Fu Bo's hard work can be said to account for a lot of credit!

took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and said with a smile: "It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, it should start soon!"

Xiao Jing tightened his white gloves, straightened his neat suit, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down quickly.

Before, he was just an ordinary auctioneer at the auction house 'Ruismo' in Shanghai! But five days ago, a strange invitation changed his fate!

Originally, he was still a little hesitant, but after learning about the Huo family's business strength through a friend, he quickly changed his mind and came to Taiwan with his luggage and family!

Pinching the thick pile of information in his hand, he felt that he was really lucky! Judging from the value of these factories, the turnover of this auction was definitely not less than 60 million taels of silver, and this huge number was enough for his name to spread all over the world with this auction! The honor of 'white gloves' was no longer an unattainable dream! However, before that, he had to do a good job in the auction in front of him!

"It's three o'clock!!" Xiao Jing looked at his pocket watch, silently clenched his fists, hammered his palms, and finally looked at his meter through the mirror, and found that there was no problem, before turning around and walking up the stairs leading to the front desk!
