Chapter 328
: Everyone gets the needs (please ask for monthly tickets!)
In winter in Beijing, although the weather is a bit cold, for many Beijingers, winter is a refreshing season. The frozen sheep transported from Mongolia are cut into thin slices with a hand-cranked slicer, then set up a hot pot, and then eat mutton hotpot. This is a rare enjoyment in other seasons.
The whistling flock of pigeons was high, and the moving clouds were flying through the blue sky.
At this time, Duan Qirui walked on the path in the garden with a sad face, while Wang Zhinong followed closely behind.
Wang Zhinong, whose courtesy name was Zhushan, lost his father at a young age and his mother at a young age. He was poor and had a humble family. In order to make a living, he entered a brothel in Tianjin at the age of thirteen to serve as a mailman. Because he worked hard, he was alert, skilled in business, and was scheming and planning. He was highly appreciated by the brothel owner and became the leader of a mailman and became a famous "big teapot" in the Tianjin prostitute industry. Soon, he set up a new door and opened a brothel himself. With his ability to eat, drink, play, and play, especially his ability to gambling, he made many friends. Later, some people with vision and knowledgeable things in the world
His friend advised him that although brothels can make money, their reputation is indecent and difficult to become a climate. A real man should make achievements and leave his name to future generations. He accepted the suggestion of his friend, moved the brothel to someone else's name, retreated to the backstage and secretly manipulated it, and claimed to the outside world that "he will no longer do this business in this life, and only focus on changing business." He has done business in wood, grain, salt, military uniform, arms, etc., and has everything easy and has a clear path of wealth. He has accumulated a lot of money in just a few years, gained a firm foothold in the business world, and revealed his strength...
As a result, he became slick and vulgar, good at scrutinizing other people's psychology, and skilled in communicating with various characters! He even became one of Xu Shuzheng's rare friends, and even met Duan Qirui through Xu Shuzheng's relationship. It can be said that Wang Zhinong was able to do what he is today thanks to Duan and Xu's help, the uniforms of the CSKA and the food of the CSKA were purchased for tens of millions of yuan a year, but he could get 30% of it, making a profit of millions a year.
Seeing that the boss seemed to be in a bad mood today, Wang Zhinong asked tentatively:
"Boss, do you seem to have something to worry about?"
Usually, the person who said this should be Chief Xu, but now Chief Xu is training the troops at the junction of Su and Lu, waiting to go to Shandong or to other places, so he naturally cannot help the Chief Gong’s problems beside the boss.
"I encountered a difficult thing."
Duan Qirui's voice was very light, but every note was filled with melancholy.
"Ye Zheng is not by your side, there is not even someone who makes an unexpected move!"
Only when others leave can they truly realize the importance of others. But now, Duan Qirui finds that there is not even someone around him who can make an idea.
"What else can there be in the hands of the boss!"
Wang Zhinong's tone seemed very relaxed. In fact, he hoped that the boss could tell the story. He never dared to imagine that he would replace Xu Shuzheng, but he hoped that he could increase his weight in the boss's heart.
"What's the hard way?"
Shaking his head and sighing, Duan Qirui's gaze moved to the distance.
“You can only borrow…”
Duan Qirui wanted to speak but stopped, turned around and pressed Wang Zhinong's shoulder and said:
"I heard that you are from Huaian, Jiangsu Province. Huaian and Lianyungang are adjacent to each other. Are there any acquaintances?"
Duan Qirui's words made Wang Zhinong excited: Did the boss have something to explain? Now the boss finally thought of me and had hope for me. The efforts of the past few years have not been in vain! He suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied softly:
"I don't have many acquaintances in Lianyungang for the time being. However, if you need it, it will not be too difficult to get to know some people through relationships. The boss is useful to me, and I will listen and drive it at any time."
After looking at Wang Zhinong, Duan Qirui couldn't help but hesitate. Would it be too hasty to leave this matter to such a businessman? But... hesitated in his heart, and in the end Duan Qirui still did not make up his mind.
"Let's do it! I've greeted Director Yu of the Military Control Commissioner. You should do this well, but remember that the fabric of the military uniform must be made of good materials, and dyes cannot be used as defective. These troops may be sent abroad in the future, but then it will be the face of our China. You will spend the money boldly and pay for it in real life. As long as it is done, it's enough."
"Yes, please rest assured. Whether you make money or not does not matter. Letting the boss not disappoint and letting the country not lose weight is the top priority. I dare not praise Dahaikou, but please rest assured that I must use the best materials for military uniforms this time and the best dyes."
Although Duan Qirui's sudden change of topic made Wang Zhinong somewhat disappointed, he did not dare to be lazy in the boss's arrangement. However, in his heart, he had an idea. If he had some old friendship with Lianyungang, would the president... He was calm and Wang Zhinong was naturally begging him in secret, but he couldn't seize the opportunity.
When Wang Zhinong left, he heard the boss sighing again.
"Oh... there is no one around!"
Zhou Zuomin!
When leaving the Tieshizi Hutong where the boss lives, Wang Zhinong became active in his heart. He was thinking in his heart how to get online with Lianyungang. Suddenly, a person appeared in his mind - Zhou Zuomin. The man was just promoted to the president of the Beijing Branch of Huaihai Industrial Savings Bank. Because the two were from the same hometown, they had a few friendships in the past, but they had no close relationships.
Huaihai Industrial Savings Bank is an offensive business bank, but in fact, anyone familiar with Lianyungang knows that this bank is almost the "central bank" of Lianyungang and the entire Longhai. Those who can serve as managers of Beijing branches naturally have a certain foundation in Lianyungang.
"Wang Zhinong!"
Looking at the name on the invitation, Zhou Zuomin was stunned. He heard that Wang Zhinong had remembered his name for three or four years. At that time, Zhou Zuomin moved north to Beijing with the Nanjing Provisional Political Department and Finance Ministry. He remembered his name for the first time and remembered it very well. The reason was not that Zhou Zuomin had too strong memory, but that Wang Zhinong had the complex characteristics of "it was difficult to explain clearly".
It is also because of this complex feature of "hard to explain clearly", Zhou Zuomin gave up the opportunity to date Wang Zhinong many times. They were invited to banquets and eat and drink together, and met on the street more than once. Zhou Zuomin was always unwilling to speak with him and deliberately avoided it because that person was too slippery and vulgar, good at scrutinizing other people's psychology, and skilled in communicating with various characters! He could avoid such people in the past, but now, Zhou Zuomin knew that he could not avoid it. That person might be slippery and vulgar, but he always held millions or even tens of millions of yuan in his hand. Those money might be the working money purchased by the Army Department, but if placed in Huaihai Bank, the bank could still make a profit.
And now, things have come to this point, Zhou Zuomin sighed and said:
"Sometimes, even though you know it's a devil, you have to interact with it."
Thinking of it, Zhou Zuomin got up and left the office, and took a bus to Wang Zhinong's residence.
When he heard that Zhou Zuomin had arrived, Wang Zhinong was naturally so happy. During the greetings, Wang Zhinong took the time to ask his family to call a taxi. Before he could speak, Wang Zhinong pulled Zhou Zuomin out, saying that he was "I want to accompany Manager Zhou to find a good place to stroll around and relax. Manager Zhou was busy with official duties all day long and had trouble writing. He finally took a break from his busy schedule. He should be completely relaxed and have fun."
Wang Zhinong did not ask Zhou Zuomin for his opinion at all. Once he acted according to his own wishes, his words and behaviors were somewhat graceful and elegant as a familiar person and a handsome and elegant person.
Wang Zhinong led Zhou Zuomin into a place where the courtyard was built. The house was magnificent and the interior was luxurious. The extremely beautiful maid served tea and refreshments. On the Eight Immortals table next to it were bone mahjong plaques, and four exquisite mahogany chairs were set around the table.
After a while, two well-dressed middle-aged men came in. Zhou Zuomin immediately reacted to what was about to happen, and he couldn't help but complain in secret. Obviously, this was the game prepared by Wang Zhinong for him. Although Zhou Zuomin's skills were not perfect in playing cards and betting, he was also quite skillful. Even if he met a master, he could play a draw and never lose his capital. Even when he was working in the Ministry of Finance of Central Beijing earlier, he once boasted to his friends:
"If we fall into a traitor, we can go gamble and make money to support our family. The income from silver and gold bills may be as strong as the salary we are now working in Kyoto and live a well-off life."
However, he asked Wang Zhinong to bring his money from the Bank of Communications to Huaihai Bank. He had already analyzed the person in front of him in his heart when he came. He only looked at Wang Zhinong's attitude towards him now. He had already been sure of "striking the Central Army directly". But who knew that Wang's surname was not given him a chance to speak after meeting him!
Zhou Zuomin had something in mind, so he didn't have the heart to greet these people, so he just nodded. Wang Zhinong pointed to his small bag and said to him quietly:
"Manager Zhou, although you are the manager of a big bank, how can you use your money to play with me? There are 20,000 yuan in cash here. You and I are half the money. If you win, it is yours, and if you lose, it is mine. Don't hesitate, have fun."
At this time, Zhou Zuomin discovered that he was holding a delicate and delicate small leather bag in his hand, which was bulging. Wang Zhinong pulled him to the card table without waiting for Zhou Zuomin to speak.
Zhou Zuomin was pressed to the chair. He stood up, clasped his fists and said:
"I'm so sorry, I'll ruin your fun when I first met. Zuomin visited Brother Zhushan today. He had important matters to discuss, but he never thought about going all the way. He was not as good as before he could tell Brother Zhushan to make the whole story..."
"Oh, I understand. OK, let's play again the next day, just don't lose the appointment next time." The middle-aged man stood up and left in disappointment.
Zhou Zuomin apologized to Wang Zhinong again and said:
"I am really helpless. Please forgive me. I have to pay my respects to you..."
Before Zhou Zuomin finished speaking, Wang Zhinong interrupted him and said:
"This is not a place to talk about serious things, let's go."
The reason why Wang Zhinong gave Zhou Zuomin directly was because he knew that his manager was just a newly-employed person and naturally needed some achievements. He needed to open up some joints and make friends with some people in Lianyungang, which also required his help. It can be said that the two of them were trying to win each other.
Zhou Zuomin had to go on the road with him. He thought to himself:
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to be patient, and the guest will follow the guests' wishes. When you are in the guest's seat, you have to let the host arrange it."
"To be honest, brother Weixin, I am also from Huai'an and want to do my part to develop my hometown!"
Wang Zhinong did not directly talk about his original intention of asking Zhou Zuomin to come, but instead used the words to rush to other places.
"Since the European War, domestic industry has made great profits. My brother intends to build a factory along the Longhai Line. I wonder what my brother thinks?"
Wang Zhinong's words made Zhou Zuomin mutter. Although Wang Zhinong had run five or six factories in Tianjin, Zhou Zuomin knew that what this fellow villager liked was to do "official business", which was the profit of "official business", and the second was his skill in communicating with various characters and was good at engaging in this insider business.
Now he wants to invest in the industry?
Although he was a little confused, Zhou Zuomin did not pick it out and just expressed his welcome.
"If Brother Ruzhushan is willing to invest in the Longhai Line, I believe the Management Committee will welcome you. I want the Management Committee to provide some help in land, funds, and machinery. However, I think Brother Zhushan's strength naturally looks down on the industrial loan!"
Following Wang Zhinong's words, Zhou Zuomin still pulled the words to the place he wanted.
"Not to mention that Brother Zhushan looks down on the industrial loan, even Huaihai Commercial Savings Bank will have to rely on Brother Zhushan to help you!"
"Look at what you said, I, Wang Zhinong, are just a choreographer. How much money can I have? However, as long as my friend needs it, Wang Zhinong will never postpone it. Now, the previous Army Department allocated three million purchases. I was thinking about where to put them. The purchase and sale are all living money. I wonder if the brother of the Weixin is willing to do Zhinong a favor. I will put this money in the Huaihai Commercial Bank first. Among our fellow villagers, the brother of the Weixin must help this anyway!"
This is Wang Zhinong's slick side. Even if he teaches others, it will make people feel comfortable and will not make others feel embarrassed. He will only be more grateful to him. Sure enough, Wang Zhinong's approach only made Zhou Zuomin feel grateful.
When Zhou Zuomin left Wang's mansion, he and Wang Zhinong became as close as close friends who had been intimate for decades. Zhou Zuomin even promised to introduce him to the members of the Management Committee and the industrial businessmen in the Longhai area. Wang Zhinong was naturally very happy about this. This is the reason why he spent a lot of money and effort to get to know Zhou Zuomin.
"This Wang Zhushan!"
Xu Shuzheng, who was at the first army station of the county, looked at Wang Zhinong's telegram. Although he seemed dissatisfied with the words, the smile on his face was unconcealable.
Now, no one in China knows the famous "General Xu". In the past, Xu Shuzheng relied on Duan Qirui's appreciation and trust. In the Battle of Lanshan, relying on the military achievements of "completely annihilated" the Second Army of the Japanese Army, General Xu turned from a "shaking fan military advisor" to become a famous Asian general, and in terms of his reputation, he even surpassed the limelight of the generals of the Jiangsu Army.
“State Council…”
Thinking about the incident mentioned in the boss's telegram, Xu Shuzheng tapped the table with his fingers. After pondering for a moment, he took out a cigar from the cigar box on the table and savored the fragrance of the Cuban cigar. This cigar was sent by Li Zicheng after winning the Battle of Lanshan.
The impression of Li Zicheng and Xu Shuzheng is complicated. During the Battle of Lanshan, Li Zhiyuan never felt sorry for him. Whether it was the treatment of wounded people or the supplementary military supplies, he had never been distracted by him. It was understandable that it was in the battle at that time. After the Battle of Lanshan, the First Army conquered 40,000 new recruits from Shandong. At that time, Xu Shuzheng had never thought about what supplies to get from Li Zhiyuan.
But Li Zhiyuan not only gave him 40,000 quilts and food, but also asked him if he needed other military supplies. Xu Shuzheng felt embarrassed and finally asked for one million yuan from the Army Department to buy a batch of mortars and grenades from Lianyungang.
If he could know that person ten years ago, or if he had returned to China ten years ago, Xu Shuzheng would have joined his disciples without hesitation just because he was open-minded and unparalleled, but now Xu Shuzheng can't do it. He owes the boss too much and will pay off the boss's kindness and protection of his kindness to him in this life.
It is also because of this that Xu Shuzheng became embarrassed for the first time with this cigar celebrating victory. He would not hesitate to anyone else as long as it concerns the interests of the boss, but for the first time he became hesitant to Li Zhiyuan, without the determination of the real man.
"Li Zhiyuan!"
Half closed his eyes, thinking about Li Zhiyuan's sincerity in treating others, Xu Shuzheng sighed helplessly in his heart.
General!
No matter what, we must protect the interests of the general manager. Xu Shuzheng knew clearly that the President wanted to keep Li Zicheng as Prime Minister, because he was afraid that he wanted to regain power. Xu Shuzheng did not object to regaining power, but if it involved the interests of the general manager, he had to stand up.
So he had to find a way to keep Li Zicheng in Jiangsu instead of going to the capital to serve as Premier of the State and going to the central government to mix water. With Lao Yuan's scheming, Premier of the State will only be his first step. Although he is not sure what the next step is, Xu Shuzheng will instinctively resist this matter.
"When you go to the central government to be a prime minister who is not worthy of your name, you will be able to be in charge of Jiangsu Province..."
Although he was advising himself in his heart, he thought that he wanted to plot against Li Zicheng who was "treat with sincerity", but Xu Shuzheng could not feel any complacent. He was just like a gentleman who promised to plot against a true gentleman, but he felt annoyed when facing him in front of the mirror.
"The water in the capital is too deep! Li Zhiyuan, you are too young and you are not yet at the time to tread the pond to mix water. One day, I, Xu Youzheng, will definitely repay your affection today!"
After sighing in his heart, Xu Shuzheng picked up the brush and wrote a letter to Wang Zhinong. However, when he picked up the pen to write the letter, his face became extremely ugly. Others treated him with sincerity, but now he wants to...
