Chapter 43 True Fragrance (Ask for Collection, Ask for Monthly Pass, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Follow-up)

Zhuge Weidao originally had a carriage, so he didn't have to drive it himself, but invited a Shandong man named Wang Wen to be a charioteer.

This Wang Wenyuan was a low-ranking naval officer, and he was also Zhuge Weidao's classmate in the Naval Academy. But he was not reincarnated well, he was not the "king" of Wencun, Guangdong (Zhennan Wang's family), but the "king" of Langya, Shandong. Not only is he not a member of the Eight Great Families, but he is not even a member of the Lord's family, he is an aspiring young man who was born as a civilian and was admitted to the Navy. As a result, he became a leader and scapegoat in the Java Incident, and became one of the few officers who were forcibly discharged or demoted.

And it was Zhuge Weidao who arranged for Wang Wen to retire - he was an investigator of the Admiralty at the time, directly responsible for investigating the truth of the incident, although he shielded many people, but he still had to hand over a few unlucky eggs. Otherwise, how to make a difference?

Those who have a backstage can't be handed over, and those who don't have a backstage but are more well-behaved can't wronged others, and this Wang Wen has neither a backstage nor a leading bird, of course he is unlucky.

However, Zhuge did things for the Tao, although Wang Wen was retired, but at the same time, he was recruited into his own door, and let him be a high-paid chariot - the chariot is only temporary, and one day Zhuge is the Tao Tengda, for example, he won the position of military advisor of the Zhuge family, and arranging for him to return to the navy as an officer is just a trivial matter. At that time, Wang Wen will be Zhuge Weidao's descendant in the army...... Of course Zhuge Weidao didn't remember this, but when he was sitting in the carriage and going to the Wuxiang Marquis Mansion, Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran told him word by word.

After listening to what they said, Zhuge Weidao also admired his original self a little - look at this skill, he obviously used others as scapegoats, but he also took others as henchmen!

This EQ is at least 180!

"Brother Daozi, this is the account book I sorted out for you overnight...... The movable and immovable property in your name, as well as all the incoming and outgoing accounts, are all there. After talking about Wang Wen, He Tianran handed over the account book that had just been sorted out to Zhuge Weidao.

The original Zhuge Weidao of these accounts is naturally very clear, but isn't he amnesia now? I don't even remember how much money I have...... It's so painful!

And after he finished reading the account book that He Tianran gave him, he was even more painful - he didn't seem to be as rich as he originally thought, and the expenses were very large!

Of course, Zhuge Weidao must be a rich man, and the real estate under his name includes a house in Goolan Hutong, a ranch outside the mouth, a mansion in Nanjing, a villa in Xishan, Beijing, a floor in the business district outside Chaoyangmen in Beijing's Dongcheng, a mansion in Borneo, and a mansion in Yanshan Mansion Summer Resort...... There are seven properties in total!

But these real estates can receive some rent except for the floor in the business district outside Chaoyangmen, and the others are only expenses and no income properties, and the property tax and maintenance costs alone have to support five or six thousand every year!

Zhuge Weidao also owns shares in two companies, the Suez Canal Company and the Sakhalin Oil Company. The former is a company listed in London, Shanghai, and Paris, and its shares have risen very well, and there are more than 10,000 silver yuan in dividends every year. And the latter is still a money-losing ...... Looking for oil everywhere, he continued to raise funds, but so far nothing has been obtained, and Zhuge Weidao has been investing in it for several years.

In addition, Zhuge Weidao still has more than 40,000 but less than 50,000 deposits in the account of the Yangtze River Bank to cope with the daily turnover.

If you only look at these, Zhuge Weidao's financial situation seems to be okay. But Zhuge Weidao's income and expenditure accounts look very bad!

The income items in the income and expenditure account are salaries, dividends from Suez, rent of real estate outside Chaoyangmen and some bank interest, and the annual "recurrent project income" is almost 23,400 - 20,000 silver yuan!

The expenditure items are the expenditures of various properties, including the expenditures of "retainers" including Yu De, He Tianran, and Wang Wen, as well as the expenditures of Zhuge Weidao himself - Zhuge Weidao's own expenses seem to be not small, eating well, using good food, drinking well, and all kinds of communication expenses...... Spending money like running water probably means people like him!

And these various expenses add together, it is actually thousands more than Zhuge Weidao's recurrent project income, if you count the additional investment in Sakhalin Oil Company, Zhuge Weidao has to "lose" 10,000 yuan every year in the past few years!

"Mu Ru," Zhuge put away the account book for Dao, and looked at his "financial manager" a little puzzled, "This account will lose tens of thousands of silver yuan every year...... Will it go bankrupt if it goes on like this? ”

He Tianran was stunned, "Bankrupt? Dong Weng, how can you go bankrupt? Take a closer look...... In your account with Changjiang Bank, you will have two large incomes every year, which is enough to offset all your expenses. ”

"How many big incomes?" Zhuge Weidao picked up the account book again and looked at it carefully, there really is!

"This is ......," his face changed, and he asked in a low voice, "This can't be corruption and bribery, right?" ”

"No, no, you're a Qing official!" Guo Xiaobao said with a smile, "Brother Daozi, although you can rest assured, although you will have two huge incomes of unknown origin every year, you are definitely a Qing official, I dare to guarantee!" ”

It turns out that Zhuge Weidao is a Qing official with a huge amount of property of unknown origin!

He was still a little uneasy, and looked at He Tianran again, He Tianran smiled: "Dong Weng...... The one with the most of these two incomes was given to you by the Queen Mother! How can the money given to you by the Queen Mother be considered corruption and bribery? ”

"This really can't be considered corruption and bribery!" Zhuge said for the Dao Heart: "This belongs to ...... Eat soft rice, right? It's not illegal to eat the Queen Mother's soft rice, right? But then again, the queen mother's soft rice is really fragrant! ”

Zhuge asked again: "Then who gave the other sum?" It can't be some rich widow, right? ”

Hearing this, Guo Xiaobao and He Tianran both had a strange smile on their faces, and they also provoked a thumb up together.

"You Shengming," He Tianran said with a smile, "that's the ...... given by a rich widow."

Come on, there is more than one soft rice for Zhuge Dao!

And Guo Xiaobao's next words are even more beyond Zhuge Weidao's imagination.

"Brother Daozi, that widow is my aunt, your ...... Stepmother! ”

Zhuge Weidao couldn't believe his ears...... Stepmother? Did you eat the soft rice on your stepmother's head? This is too bottomless, right?

Zhuge thought about it for the Tao, and felt that it was wrong, "Baozhi, I, my stepmother, she is very rich?" ”

"Of course!" Guo Xiaobao nodded and said with a wry smile, "Daozi, don't look at me as having no money, but my aunt is very rich!" My aunt and my father were born to the same mother, and my aunt and her mother were the eldest lady of the Zheng family's Zheng family, a small Japanese sect, and she married my grandfather with two million silver yuan...... This money, plus the part that later increased in value, went to my aunt, and my aunt took the money to marry your father, and your father helped my aunt to use the money to invest in the Suez Canal. So now my aunt is rich, a rich woman! ”

"But why did she give me money to spend?" Zhuge frowned for Dao...... Although the Queen Mother's "rice" is very fragrant, this kind of "rice" can't be eaten more, and this is still a stepmother! This is going to be eaten, isn't it a cuckold for Zhuge Youde's spirit in the sky?

"I don't know about this," Guo Xiaobao shook his head, and then added, "Although my aunt is a generation older than you, she is seven or eight years older than you...... The two of you have known each other since childhood. ”

Zhuge Weidao heard that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, where have you heard this story!

He was about to inquire again, when the carriage he was riding in had stopped outside the door of a mansion on the shore of Shicha in the north of the city. Zhuge picked up the curtains for the road and took a look, okay, this mansion is a large black and dreary area, the door face is extremely wide, and the horse tethering piles at the door are lined up one by one, all of which are polished. That kind of wealth and bearing, where can Zhuge Weidao's house in Goolan Hutong be compared?

He hurriedly asked, "This is ...... Wuxiang Hou Mansion? ”

Guo Xiaobao nodded: "Yes, this is the Wuxiang Hou Mansion...... Opposite Shichahai is the Wuwang Mansion, which is bigger than the Wuxiang Hou Mansion! To the west of Wuxiang Marquis is the Lingwu Mansion, the Xingwu Mansion, the Wanling Marquis Mansion, and the Yangdu Marquis Mansion! This king, two dukes and three marquis are all members of your Zhuge family. ”
