Chapter Sixteen: Anxi's Richest Man
An Ruyi, the veritable richest man in Anxi, no one knows where he came from, and no one knows how he became the richest man. His reputation even surpassed the Gu family back then and had a significant influence in Anxi.
An Ruyi looks a bit special. She is not Anxi. She has the high nose and deep eyes of a foreigner, but she is not a foreigner. She is not even an surname, but no one knows what the specific surname is.
An Ruyi is one of the largest financial supporters of the Zhang family. His business has facilitated the whole of China and even extended to various countries. He is the veritable richest man. Many warlords want to win him over to their own territory, but they have never succeeded. However, for some reason, these irritable warlords have never taken tough measures against him, and even maintained a little respect.
It was also heard that the remnants of the Qing court had inspired him to get rid of him, but the killer sent was shot dead before he saw him, which confused the outside world. Some people even speculated that An Ruyi had trained a group of very loyal and powerful dead soldiers, but this was just a guess.
An Ruyi is a living God of Wealth in the world. There is an only daughter named An Qinghuan. She is extremely beautiful and is said to have been kidnapped once by a villain. Mrs. Zhang sent a master of the Cao Gang to rescue her, so she was very close to the Zhang family.
But strangely, the An family's descendants were not very prosperous. They married thirteen beautiful ladies, and none of them could have a son or half daughter for him. An Ruyi was helpless because of this. However, she was over fifty years old and even though she was willing, she had no energy. However, when she mentioned An's mansion, she would think of his beautiful thirteen beautiful ladies.
Some scholars who are angry about this matter mentioned after dinner, even envious of the blessings of An Ruyi's Qi people. They thought that Tang Bohu was only nine beautiful pictures, but An Ruyi was thirteen beautiful pictures. How happy it was.
What is the biggest event in Anxi every year? It must be the "Treasure Conference" held by Anjia. The reason why this "Treasure Conference" is called the "Treasure Conference" is because it gathers the treasures of all China and even countries with diplomacy with China. As long as you want to sell it, you can auction it through Anruyi's "Treasure Conference". Anjia only charges a small amount of venue fees for this. I heard that many earls from the concession are Anruyi's guests of honor.
This is undoubtedly a clever way to spread his reputation all over the country. Even with the exchanges between countries, An Ruyi was even more famous than Zhang Xiaolin and other warlords. This is also the reason why all warlords have successively won him over. As long as they win over An Ruyi, they undoubtedly won over diplomacy. Some people even despise Zhang Xiaolin, and they don’t know how to use it. But who can know the reason except Zhang Xiaolin?
The "Treasure Conference" is an annual grand event in Anxi. Warlords and even countries will send envoys to attend. It goes without saying that the people gathered at the "Treasure Conference" gathered treasures. Some people even made the reason Anxi can have today's situation and have had a good relationship with other countries. Zhang Xiaolin did not deny it or object to this. They seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and tacit understanding between them.
Anxi today is very busy. In the past, it took a long time to queue up in the city gate, but today, the cost of entering the city was saved, so the pedestrians were in a hurry.
The eight gates of Anxi City meant tourists from all directions. Nowadays, vehicles of all sizes entered one after another and drove towards the An family's "Baobao Pavilion". This is the largest auction house established by An Ruyi in Anxi. There is only one family, no other part of the group.
As soon as the grand event was held, the red carpet outside the Baibao Pavilion was spread out from afar. Journalists from all over the world surrounded the red carpet, looking at the invited people coming one after another, whispering and talking.
A car parked next to the red carpet and walked down a white-haired old man with high nose and deep eyes and blue eyes. As soon as he got out of the car, the spotlight in the reporter's hand kept flashing.
"Earl of Smith of America."
"How is this different from summits in various countries? Smith is the representative of America in Ansey."
"install
Home is indeed extraordinary.”
"Look, who is that?"
A car stopped again, first walked out of a foreign woman in a dress, then another thin man, who had the same skin color and walked around, and finally someone recognized it, "This is the Earl of Wilson of England, and his woman is beside him."
"This, this is so unbelievable to him. It is really incredible that a mere merchant can actually get consuls from various countries to come. But the head of the An family never saw it. Are these heavyweight figures enough for him to greet him in person?"
"Yes, this is so weird."
"Look, isn't this Yang Dezhong, the nephew of Governor Yang in Mingcheng? Why did he come?"
"This man is really bold. Some time ago, the Zhang family caught a group of bandits who broke into it, all from Mingcheng. The matter has not yet subsided. Mingcheng dared to openly send people to the Hundred Treasures Conference. Isn't this despising Governor Zhang?"
"What do you know? During the 'Treasure Conference', there was an agreement between the warlords and there would be no open trouble. Who would be unable to get along with the God of Wealth?"
Several whispered to each other and nodded.
Indeed, no one does not love money. In this huge China, there are so many warlords and even consuls of various countries. Who does not love money?
The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit! Warlords do not love money, so what should they use to support the army and expand the territory? Consuls do not love money, so why not live a life in their own country, but they travel thousands of miles and risk their lives to come to China at this moment?
Yang Dezhong took several followers and entered the "Baibao Pavilion" with invitations in an open manner.
"Isn't this man Huang Hanqing?"
"It seems that he is Mr. Sun's disciple. Why is he in the ranks of invitations? He is a person who wants to get rid of the warlords as soon as possible. He is so bold."
"What do you know? It is said that this person has received support and love from the working people in various places, which has caused great headaches for warlords. However, he spent a lot of rewards, but he couldn't catch this person? Do you think if General Zhang takes action today, can he survive?"
"Oh! I'm really looking for death. Now Mr. Sun is going to lose a right-hand man."
Looking at the crowd entering one after another, the reporters didn't have time to blink, for fear of missing that important person.
"Have you noticed recently that Governor Zhang has never appeared?"
"Yes, even Mei Wushuang, who is in Cuiyunlou, is not appearing in the public place? Guess, does this governor have some strange disease?"
"There is this possibility. Some time ago, Major General Zhang did not publicly state that Governor Zhang occasionally felt cold. I guess he must have had some incurable disease."
"Oh, it seems Anxi is getting worse again."
"Look, isn't that Zhang's car?"
A black sedan stopped, followed the Hu Benwei, running up, opened the car door, and walked out of the car with a very likable girl, who was fat and cute. Then he walked down a tall and thin man with messy hair and messy hair. He only had that dress, which looked a little more regular, and his overall feeling was like a sense of unrulyness.
Then she walked down Zhang Jingfang. As soon as she appeared, the spotlight she remembered shone again, and many reporters even came up.
"Miss Zhang, why didn't you see the Governor? I recently heard that your father, Governor Zhang, is seriously ill, and I wonder if it is true?"
"Miss Zhang, why didn't Major General Zhang come with you? Did something really happen to the Zhang family?"
Cheng Geng touched his beard and reached out to block his eyes. He could not stand these dazzling spotlights.
Qiuju behind her could no longer hold it back, so she hurriedly stepped forward to stop the reporters, and said angrily, "If you are talking nonsense, I will arrest you all,
Let you talk nonsense to me.”
Zhang Jingfang stared at the man who said that his father was seriously ill, with murderous aura in his eyes. At this time, the Hu Ben Guard rushed forward and separated the reporters.
The scene was noisy, and the reporter shone with the spotlight. This was a major news, and it would be easy to publish it. At this time, an old man ran out of the 'Baobao Pavilion'. He hurriedly came up and said to someone, "Dear friends in the press, can you give An a face? Don't make things difficult for Miss Zhang. She was invited by her little girl this time and came to the appointment. It has nothing to do with the issues and events of today's 'Baobao Conference'. I hope you don't publish it at will, so as not to make things difficult for me. What will happen at that time will inevitably make everyone unfair."
Remember that they finally settled down and left one after another.
An Ruyi stepped forward and smiled, "Miss Zhang is frightened. These people are also making a living, it is not easy." His eyes fell on Cheng Geng, his eyes sank, and he asked quickly, "Who is this?"
This is not the first time Zhang Jingfang has met An Ruyi. She and An Qinghuan are very kind, so she is very respectful to An Ruyi and hurriedly saluted, "Uncle An, this is my friend. I did not ask for your opinion this time, so I brought it directly. Wouldn't you be angry?"
An Ruyi hurriedly smiled and said, "What's the point? Isn't your relationship with Qinghuan just to bring more people? There's nothing."
"Mr. An, my lady has brought more than one more, and I am." Qiu Ju was afraid that An Ruyi would not agree, so she hurriedly saluted respectfully. This was the place she had always longed for. She had heard that even if Governor Zhang was there, she would never offend An Ruyi's approval, and in order to follow her smoothly, she looked at An Ruyi pitifully.
An Ruyi was stunned and laughed, "What does this matter?" He landed on Cheng Geng, looked up and down for a moment, and said strangely, "This gentleman looks familiar, but I don't know where I have seen it?"
Cheng Geng remembered his ancestral home, which was bought by the person in front of him. He always wanted to get to know this person and buy back his ancestral home. This was an explanation to his ancestors. At the beginning, Governor Zhang agreed to him, but now Governor Zhang is unknown in life and death. If he wants to redeem his ancestral home, he may have to rely on himself.
"Oh, Xiao Ke Cheng Geng." He gave a deep bow, "I do have some fate with Mr. An. I wonder if Mr. An remembers Cheng Youqing?"
An Ruyi's eyes trembled, and her eyes stared at Cheng Geng, "No wonder, no wonder, I just said that she looks so kind?"
"I have a ruthless request. I wonder if Mr. An can agree." He felt abrupt, but it was related to his own concerns and he didn't care about anything else. Now he has the capital to redeem his ancestral home. As long as he offers the price, no matter how much, he will agree.
An Ruyi lifted her sleeves and said with a smile, "Your father and I are a bit in love, but your father has a weird temper. He wants to have a deep friendship, but he refuses people thousands of miles away. No matter what, we have some connections. Haha, if you have any requests, I can agree to you because you are Miss Zhang's friend."
"I want to redeem my father's ancestral home. I wonder if Mr. An can give up his love?"
"Is this?" An Ruyi hesitated.
"Oh, sir, offer the offer at will, there is no need to be a taboo, the younger generation can afford it."
An Ruyi was stunned and said with a smile, "It seems that the Cheng family is about to rise over the years. But you may not figure it out, do you think I am short of money?" He laughed boldly, and saw the person walking from the red carpet, wearing strange clothes, with a strange smell.
Cheng Geng looked at the person who was wearing dreadlocks, dark skin, veil, styling boots, and a scimitar hanging around his waist. His sharp eyes swept across everyone like a flash of lightning. When he saw An Ruyi, his body stiffened and then walked towards An Ruyi.
An Ruyi said to Zhang Jingfang in a daze, "Miss Zhang, please enter the venue first, I have something to deal with." After that, he strode away and greeted the man.
