Zhou Xuexi couldn't take "The Art of War" with tears and laughter, and he had to pretend to collect it carefully.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded with satisfaction.

Today he is wearing a green shirt.

At this time, the cheongsam emphasizes the two-dimensional space effect. The effect of the cheongsam is mainly a straight line, a whole piece, a flat type, no curves, and a flat cut with the shoulder as the main support point.

Don't look at the cheongsam, it seems to be very simple, but it alludes to the concept of the unity of heaven and man in China.

The cheongsam pays attention to the service of people's clothing, and no matter who wears it, it is a straight and loose effect.

But when it was Zhao Chuanxin's turn to be here, he was quite dressed to serve others, because he was tall, with broad shoulders and muscular back and chest.

It's a little less bookish and a little more violent.

As soon as he flicked his hem, there was a whirl, and the air vibrate.

Wei Ying and Wilson shuddered.

"How's it going?" Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette and said lightly.

Zhou Xuexi hurriedly bowed over and said, "Uncle, I'll finish reading it soon." ”

Zhao Chuanxin waited for a while, and Zhou Xuexi suddenly became short of breath.

His face was blue and red, and his mood was extremely complicated.

The annual output of Luanzhou coal mine is roughly more than 1.3 million tons.

Because of the abundant output, it can start a price war, and the price of coal of the same quality will be pushed down.

Kaiping's average annual profit, from more than 2.8 million taels of silver, has now been affected as low as 2 million taels.

Zhou Xuexi can foresee that as long as the Luanzhou coal mine continues to fight a price war, maybe the British will not be able to stand it.

Perhaps without Zhao Chuanxin, he himself can take back the Kaiping Coal Mine.

At this point, there is a knock on the door.

Zhao Chuanxin is anti-customer-oriented: "Enter." ”

A man hurriedly came in and walked towards Zhou Xuexi: "General Office, Governor Yuan has a letter." ”

Then whispered to Zhou Xuexi.

Zhou Xuexi's face changed.

Both Wei Ying and Wilson were curious and wanted to know what this entourage said to Zhou Xuexi.

And Zhao Chuanxin was not far away, he glanced his head at it, but his ears moved.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Chuanxin did not say anything.

Zhou Xuexi period Ai Ai.

His own political status is not high, but he has his back to Yuan Datou, and by using this identity, he has become the largest industrialist in the north after Sheng Xuanhuai.

Originally, after seeing the bill of Kaiping Coal Mine, he had some thoughts in his heart, and with Yuan Datou's letter, Zhou Xuexi was a little entangled.

Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth to urge at this time: "Have you finished reading?" Hurry up after reading it, don't delay me for lunch. ”

Zhou Xuexi said: "Uncle, Kaiping Mine still has 780,000 taels of silver, including the expenses of workers and managers. The rest is fine. ”

What he meant was that it was a question of whether this expenditure would be paid by Zhao Chuan's salary or by the British side.

Wei Ying hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhao, you still need to be reasonable in doing things, the mine can be sold to you, but we need to take away the profits." ”

"Okay, let's be reasonable." When Zhao Chuanxin heard that there were 780,000 taels of silver, he immediately sat up straight, and said righteously: "780,000 taels of silver, where did it come from?" ”

Wei Ying was puzzled: "The profit from selling coal." ”

"Where did the coal come from?"

"Coal is produced from the Kaiping mine."

"Who owns Kaiping Mine?"

"Today...... It's yours. ”

Zhao Chuanxin slapped his thigh: "Isn't that the end, who will not sell the coal from my coal mine?" Is it yours? ”

I blanched ......

Wei Ying gritted his teeth with hatred.

saw Zhou Xuexi on the side also patting his thigh: "Uncle is reasonable!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin slapped the table: "Yes, I have reason to go all over the world, I have reason to be afraid of something." Virtuous nephew, let's withdraw the money first. ”

Wei Ying: "......"

On the wall of Zhao Chuanxin's office, there are "Coal Kiln Regulations" and "Factory Regulations", which clearly record that 6 o'clock in the morning, 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and 10 o'clock in the evening are clear shift times, and there are three shifts of eight hours. In addition, there are more than 200 stereotypes.

This is earlier than the eight-hour work day that was won after the bloodshed of the workers' strike in the United States in '86, because the rules were born in 1881. Of course, this is far less blessed than the 996 of later generations, after all, it cannot be called a "blessing".

Underneath the rules, there is also a shelf, on which is a row of tools.

Zhao Chuanxin picked out a pickaxe from it, held it in his hand and turned it upside down.

The portion size is just right.

He turned his head to look at Wei Ying: "Let's go." ”

Wei Ying and Wilson's eyelids jumped, and they felt that in terms of "truth", they really couldn't refute Zhao Chuanxin, so they could only swallow their anger and take the two to the general ledger room in the ninth room.

Entering the treasury, all kinds of banknotes, silver taels and silver dollars were exposed in front of Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes lit up, waved his hand and said, "Haven't you heard the allusion to the melon field and plums?" It's all my money, what are you doing here? ”

Zhou Xuexi licked his lips and was the first to withdraw.

Wei Ying and Wilson gritted their teeth and went out as well.

Zhao Chuanxin rolled up his sleeve robe, pocketed half of the money, and kept the other half for the workers' expenses.

My heart blossomed.

After going out, Weiying still wanted to look into the treasury, but Zhao Chuanxin stopped his sight, and the door was closed with a "bang".

Wei Ying: "......"

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Wilson: "Look, there is an idler here, and Kaiping Mine does not raise idlers." ”

"......" Wilson argued, "I am the chief engineer." ”

"Chief Engineer, can you just wander around a few times?" Zhao Chuanxin waved the pickaxe that made Wilson dizzy: "Your beard is not white, shouldn't you go to the front line to work?" ”

"Me?" Wilson said with some trepidation: "I'm in charge of the technical issues. Moreover, coal mines may not be able to sustain. ”

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed his back collar: "Lead the way, meet the management, I have something to say." ”

Hearing this, Wei Ying hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhao, if it's okay, then I'll go first." ”

If Zhao Chuanxin knew that he was in the way, wouldn't he settle accounts after the fall?

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes were ridged: "What are you going to go?" Leave before lunch, that's not the hospitality of our outsiders, dare to go and discount your three legs! ”

Wei Ying's face collapsed suddenly.

In the official room of the nine rooms, all the management gathers here.

The corners of Lin Guijun's vernacular mouth foamed: "Gentlemen, listen to me." Right now, either we lose our livelihood, or we can fight hard......"

The coal master interjected: "What if, Mr. Zhao wants to return to work?" ”

Lin Guijun's eyes flashed: "If you want to resume work, it would be better, once we gathered together to resist the foreigners, until the coal mine changed hands, facing the oppression of the British devils, we had to bow our heads." Now, it's time for us to rise again! But I think that Zhao Chuanxin does not understand mining affairs, and the British army may be gathering north, Zhao Chuanxin is afraid that it will be difficult to hold the coal mine...... In any case, it is a rare opportunity! ”

Everyone's eyes lit up a little, yes, when they turned back, they reunited, shared the benefits from top to bottom, and returned to their peak.

Of course, the peak is also the time when corruption is at its worst.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a "creak".

A tall, thick-bearded, handsome man came in in a green shirt with Wilson's back collar.

followed by Zhou Xuexi and Wei Ying.

Lin Guijun's words came to an abrupt end.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Wei Ying.

Wei Ying hurriedly stepped forward: "This is Mr. Zhao Chuanxin, and the Kaiping Mine will be owned by Mr. Zhao in the future." ”

Many management levels in the house look at each other.

Lin Guijun coughed, and instinctively wanted to grovel in the face of the boss, but after thinking about it, to open up the atmosphere, it takes great courage and perseverance, and he can't look servile.

So he straightened his chest and took a step: "Mr. Zhao, dare to ask, are we going to stop mining in Kaiping Coal Mine?" ”

Wilson was captured, and his heart was terrified.

At this time, he took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Zhao, this is Lin Guijun, the general office of the Han people. ”

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Lin Guijun: "Zhao has read more than 10,000 volumes, and the book says - the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light." You, who did the opposite, specifically wanted to be a licking dog for Emperor Guangxu, right? ”

"......" Lin Guijun blushed, and the momentum he had just accumulated was directly broken. He said angrily: "Why is Mr. Zhao insulting? ”

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at Lin Guijun with a pickaxe: "I have no grievances with Your Excellency, why are Your Excellency pretending to be forced in front of me?" ”

“……”

Lin Guijun looked at the hoe and was a little cowardly.

But he thought about it again, although patriots like Zhao Chuanxin were cruel to foreigners, they should not attack their own people if they took care of their reputation.

Relying on this, he stiffened his neck and said, "Mr. Zhao should apologize to Zaixia......"

Although Wei Ying was worried about what these people would say, he felt schadenfreude.

Let's make trouble, it's good to make trouble.

Zhao Chuanxin turned the pickaxe and slammed it on Lin Guijun's head with a handle: "Damn, I have an undercut head." ”

Lin Guijun let out an "oops", and his head immediately bulged.

He looked at Zhao Chuanxin angrily.

Zhao Chuanxin really didn't think about anything, after all, they are all Chinese, and they can't say that they will kill people if they contradict themselves, isn't that a psychologically distorted pervert?

Zhao Chuanxin pushed Wilson aside, supported his waist with one hand, and carried a pickaxe with the other and said: "In the future, Kaiping Coal Mine will belong to me Zhao Chuanxin." I'm going to merge Kaiping Coal Mine with Luanzhou Coal Mine, but for now it's the same thing, business as usual. ”

Zhou Xuexi next to him reminded: "Uncle, the merger with Luanzhou Coal Mine must be considered in the long run. ”

Before reading the account book and receiving news from Yuan Datou, Zhou Xuexi agreed to merge.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him with a smile: "Really?" Is Luanzhou Coal Mine also going to be sold? Zhao is rich now, can he sell it for 500,000 taels of silver? ”

"......" Zhou Xuexi laughed: "Uncle joked, Luanzhou Coal Mine is more than 500,000 taels of silver, and even the money for equipment is not enough." ”

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin had just gotten 780,000 taels, and he was reluctant to pay all for the Luanzhou Coal Mine.

Lin Guijun covered the big bag on his head at this time, and said with a hideous face: "Mr. Zhao, you deceive people too much, you are the general office of Kaiping Coal Mine, and no one will start work without me to speak!" ”

Zhao Chuanxin looked at Lin Guijun strangely, and then looked at the other managers of the ninth room.

I saw some people standing faintly behind Lin Guijun, they were all the remaining Guangdong factions and dependents.

The rest, some bowed their heads, some retreated.

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes: "You all listen to Lin Guijun?" ”

No one spoke.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to a person: "You, come here." ”

The man looked left and right, and finally confirmed that Zhao Chuanxin was the one he called.

His steps were heavy, and he slowly stepped out of the column.

Zhao Chuanxin asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Mr. Hui, Mr. Zhao, the little surname is Yu, and he is a leader."

"Yu Jiangtou, do you listen to Lin Guijun's words, or listen to me?"

Yu put his head trembling as if he was walking on thin ice, and glanced at Lin Guijun from the corner of his eye, and found that Lin Guijun was looking at him viciously.

He secretly glanced at his good friend in the other camp, the coal master.

The coal master shook his head at him slightly.

Yu raised his head and bared his big yellow teeth: "Naturally listen to Mr. Zhao." ”

Yu Wenxuan jumped up angrily, pointed at Yu Jiaotou and said compassionately: "Yu Jiaotou, you can think about it." ”

Yu put a smile on his face.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled, turned around and asked Wei Ying: "This is the thorn in the mine, right?" During your administration, was this person's mental state so excited? ”

Wei Ying's eyes rolled: "No, after I took over the Kaiping Coal Mine, I listened to the advice of Mr. Hu Hua, the chief engineer at the time, and successively fired Andrew Burt and a cadre of Guangdong managers and workers. Under my management, Mr. Lin is very obedient. ”

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly looked at Lin Guijun again: "Oh...... You're a dog with horns - you're having a good deal with Lao Tzu. Do you think that I, Zhao Chuanxin, am easier to bully than foreign devils? ”

"This ......" Lin Guijun said: "It's not like that, it's just a matter of facts......"

In fact, he just held the attitude of "a gentleman can be bullied" to take Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly stepped forward with an arrow, picked up the crane's beak hoe and slashed it down according to Lin Guijun's heavenly spirit cover.

Burst......

Blood was spilled on the spot.

Zhao Chuanxin let go, and the pickaxe was embedded in the skull.

Lin Guijun's eyes were straight, and he knelt down heavily, but he didn't fall, just blood flowed down his cheeks, and he walked very peacefully.

Zhao Chuanxin took a sip: "The spicy one next door, I have to force Lao Tzu to open the heavenly spirit cover for you!" ”

He bypassed Lin Guijun's corpse and came to everyone: "Do you still want to play the game of standing in line?" Who else? ”

The audience was dumbfounded and silent.

Yu sifted his head and body like chaff, secretly rejoiced, and glanced at the coal master gratefully.

Wei Ying's eyes widened.

He also said that Zhao Chuanxin would be anxious, but he forgot that Zhao Chuanxin had never taken the laws of the Qing court into account, and the way to solve things was simple and rude.

Killed the thorn head, and the matter was settled.

Seeing that no one was out of the moth again, Zhao Chuanxin said to Wilson: "Why don't you see foreign engineers?" ”

At this time, there was a shortage of domestic talents, and those foreign devil engineers couldn't play without foreign devils.

"Mr. Zhao, they, they are afraid of you, and they didn't come today."

As we all know, Zhao Chuanxin specializes in killing foreigners.

Zhao Chuanxin couldn't cry or laugh.

He said to the boss, "Can you find the address of these people?" ”

Yu put the head chick pecked the rice: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

"Call them all, Zhao promised not to kill them."

It is equivalent to leaving his head, Zhou Xuexi hesitated and admonished: "Uncle, when dealing with mining affairs, you should make careful inferences, find out the crux of the problem, sort out the mess, and peel off the cocoon......"

Zhao Chuanxin disagreed: "How can reasoning be effective in physics, and physical transcendence is the king." ”

“……”

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the coal master who had just given Yu a look on the head: "Who is that, is there a phone here?" ”

The coal master hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists: "Under Zhao Xilong, I have seen Mr. Zhao." There is a telephone set here. ”

It's still a home.

After saying that, he trotted to a desk, and because of his somewhat obese figure, he struggled to move the table, making a piercing grinding sound.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that this person was a little interesting.

He walked over there, waved his hand to tell Zhao Xilong not to move, and pulled out a chair and sat down.

He called the head of Xuantian Sect.

After a while, the phone was picked up, and a charming female voice rang: "Hello, this is the headquarters of Xuantian Sect......"

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted her until this was Li Guangzong's little secretary: "Go and call Li Guangzong." ”

"...... are you?"

"I'm Zhao Chuanxin."

There was an exclamation from there, and there was no movement.

In a moment, Li Guangzong's voice came.

"Master."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I bought the Kaiping Coal Mine, and you sent a reliable man to reconcile the accounts, but did not participate in the management. ”

Lee Kwangjong was happy at first.

Since receiving a call from Xu Shichang, he began to investigate the Kaiping Coal Mine, and after discovering that this is a coal mine, this is simply a gold mine, he began to think about it.

Xuantian Sect is too difficult, because it has just taken Ao Island last year, and it is in the development period, and it has to take into account Lugang Town and the various institutions outside the entire Guan.

After a year, there were more lands in the Hankou concessions, and as when the foreign powers first arrived, it was not profitable to get the concessions, and they also needed to be invested.

I'm short of money.

But he still relayed Xu Shichang's words.

Zhao Chuanxin glanced at Zhou Xuexi and said, "The group is about to start, what kind of economy do you want?" Kaiping mine is already in the bag. ”

Li Guangzong understood, he didn't care so much, and complained: "Sir, you have invested countless manpower, material and financial resources in that Nikola Tesla, it is better to use the money on the blade......"

He chatters endlessly, and does not call the head of the house Mr.

Zhao Chuanxin listened quietly, already guessing his purpose.

Although Li Guangzong was shrewd, his vision was still shorter.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

After Li Guangzong finished speaking, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Xuantian Sect's lack of openings will be made up from Kaiping Coal Mine." ”

Li Guangzong jumped up from his chair and said with a short breath: "Thank you, master!" ”

"It's okay, I'll hang up first, and I'll make a few more phone calls."

After hanging up, he turned his head to look at Zhou Xuexi: "Come, you call Yuan Xiangcheng." ”

"I ......" Zhou Xuexi was a little embarrassed.

"Virtuous nephew, don't say you don't know, that uncle will be very angry."

Zhou Xuexi could only bite the bullet and call Yuan Datou.

After saying a few words, he handed the microphone to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin scolded with a mouth: "Yuan Xiangcheng, salted duck eggs are poured, you are poor; Lazy donkeys don't get set, you fucking owe pumping! Come, tell Lao Tzu, what the do you have to recapture the Kaiping Coal Mine? ”

The whole office was silent!

On the opposite side is the dignified governor of Zhili, the founder of the Beiyang New Army, Yuan Shikai!

Recently, there has been a total power outage, just came, don't blame me.

If you owe it, you won't be in debt, don't slander people in vain, and make up for it 100% later.
