Chapter 627: The Snow Fox
Mr. Li San's identity is sensitive, so he is monitored very carefully. If he is not careful, he will be exposed, which will be very detrimental to Chen Tianhua.
Regarding all the whereabouts and activities of Young Master Li San, the military and political aspects are to monitor, while in the economic aspect, in addition to monitoring, they must also participate in obstruction and sabotage.
The surveillance of Mr. Li San has made Yu Feng walk on thin ice, participating in obstruction or sabotage, which makes it difficult to control.
They took action here and forced Third Young Master Li back. But if this happens, the plan of Meiguang Autonomous Region will inevitably be exposed. Qinglang and others are not vegetarian fools, and Third Young Master Li will also understand what happened.
thing.
The treacherous and cunning Li Cunzhi was determined to support his son, and a strict protection network allowed the inexperienced Young Master Li to get through the difficulties safely.
This damn green wolf was also staring at Yu Feng.
Yu Feng wished she could send someone immediately to chop the always-smiling Zhang Chuan into pieces, but she also knew that, not to mention her actual actions, even if she revealed her intentions in front of them, they would definitely notice.
Both parties are too sensitive!
When Yu Feng was running around in panic, the savior fell from the sky and Xu Yunyuan appeared in front of him.
"Sister Yun, why did you come in person?!" Yu Feng was surprised and happy as if she had seen her backbone.
"How can you handle these things if I don't come to Shanghai in person?" Xu Yunyuan rolled her eyes at Yu Feng and said teasingly.
"Of course, I'm worried about this, hehe..." Yu Feng blushed and leaned against Xu Yunyuan coquettishly.
"Don't be lazy, I have my work schedule, but you can't slack off at all!"
After hearing this, Yu Feng's face changed color and she kept saying: "Sister Yun, how dare I, little sister!"
"It's okay if you don't dare!" Xu Yunyuan grinned, closed her eyes and leaned on the back of the chair.
Today I caught the first train early and took a speedboat from Changxing to Shanghai for several hours.
The journey was dusty and windy and the waves were ups and downs. My body was a little overwhelmed and I did feel a little tired.
Seeing that Xu Yunyuan was a little tired, Yu Feng said with concern: "Sister Yun, why don't you rest first? Since the arrangements have been made, we are just waiting for the final closing of the net."
"sleep?"
Xu Yunyuan grinned bitterly but still did not open her eyes, "There are many things to do today. By the way, do you know where Yang Shiqi of China Merchants Group lives?"
"Yang Shiqi?" Yu Feng was stunned after hearing this and said in a deep voice:
"Yang Shiqi has several permanent residences in Shanghai. I don't have much contact with him here. He is not someone I pay attention to, but Mr. Zhao is very familiar with him. Just ask Mr. Zhao about this."
After hearing this, Xu Yunyuan's eyes opened... She glanced at Yu Feng, and Yu Feng murmured uneasily: "Sister Yun, I didn't do my job well, please..."
"No, no, you did a good job!" Xu Yunyuan raised her hand, interrupting Yu Feng's apology, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone has limited energy and should have their own division of labor. Mr. Zhao is good at politics. He is a political activist. Let him come forward to do things in this area, which is to give full play to his advantages. If you intervene, it will be very difficult.
Oops, it not only distracts your energy, but also makes Mr. Zhao think that we don't trust him."
Mr. Zhao is Zhao Fengchang, who was Zhang Zhidong's earliest chief staff member. He is also known as Zhang Xiangshuai's First Lady, which shows how close the relationship between them is.
Due to rejection by political opponents, Zhao Fengchang later came to Shanghai to set up a consulting agency and provided Zhang Zhidong with domestic and foreign political intelligence for more than ten years. He is a senior consulting expert and is good at political affairs and macroeconomic trends.
At the beginning of this year, Chen Tianhua went to Beijing to visit Zhang Zhidong. After chatting, Zhang said that he no longer needed any counseling and could not afford the extra expenses at the moment, so he recommended Zhao Fengchang to Chen Tianhua.
In this way, Chen Tianhua incorporated Zhao Fengchang's counseling agency and placed it under Xu Yunyuan's command.
"Thank you Yunyuan for your consideration, little sister."
Yu Feng had such a delicate expression. She was the youngest among the three sisters. Xu Yunyuan was always very caring towards her and was not very harsh.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go get the car ready. We'll go visit Mr. Zhao first. We'll see you in a few months, and then we'll discuss visiting Yang Shiqi."
"Yes!" Yu Feng made a face and went out to make arrangements.
…
In a luxury apartment on Xujiahui Road in Shanghai, Zhao Fengchang and Yang Shiqi were sitting opposite each other, and they were having a drink.
"Brother Zhujun, in the past two years, Zhang Xiangshuai has been in the capital. Do you still care about your side? If you don't mind, why not come to the Investment Promotion Bureau to help me!" Yang Shiqi said.
Zhao Fengchang threw a peanut into his mouth and apologized:
"Brother Xingcheng, I am already in my fifties and almost an old man. I have been accustomed to a free life these years, but you are not like you. You are ten years younger than me, and now you are a popular person next to Mr. Yuan Zhongtang, with a bright future.
, I don’t want to go back to my old business and ruin your future. Besides, Brother Yu doesn’t understand economics.”
On the surface, Zhao Fengchang's words were a polite excuse, but in essence, he was disdainful of working under Yang Shiqi, mainly because he couldn't lose face.
Regarding this point, Yang Shiqi is actually clear.
At first, Yang Shiqi was just an ordinary staff member under Li Hongzhang, playing a minor role. Later, he followed Sheng Xuanhuai to organize the Beijing-Hankow Railway.
At that time, Zhao Fengchang was already the chief staff officer of Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang. There was a huge gap in status and power between the two.
At that time, a section of the Beijing-Hankow Railway was under construction in Hubei. Zhao Fengchang was fully responsible for supervising the construction on behalf of Zhang Zhidong, and it was only then that Yang Shiqi met him.
After Li Hongzhang's death, Yang Shiqi changed his mind and joined Yuan Shikai, becoming his confidant and chief aide for a time.
Now the situation and status between him and Zhao Fengchang had dramatically reversed. He had heard about Zhao Fengchang's talents and connections for a long time, and invited him many times but was finally rejected.
This is not because Zhao Fengchang is showing off and talking about seniority, but Yang Shiqi is really a bad person, too realistic, and is ashamed of others in the industry.
It is said that that year when Sheng Xuanhuai was pregnant with Ding You, the imperial court planned to send Zhang Yan to take over the General Telegraph Administration and the Steamship Merchants Bureau, but Sheng Yanshen refused, so Yuan Shikai went to Shanghai to negotiate with Sheng Xuanhuai, and the manager he proposed was Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi was an old subordinate of Sheng Xuanhuai. He used to be respectful and obedient to his orders, so Sheng Xuanhuai agreed.
In the spring of the 30th year of Guangxu's reign, Sheng Xuanhuai resigned from his posts as director of the General Administration of Telegraph and General Office of the Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau, and Yang Shiqi became the general office of the General Administration of Telegraph and Prime Minister of the Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau.
Sheng Xuanhuai never imagined that not long after taking office, Yang Shiqi overturned all Sheng's original rules and regulations. He drafted the "Ten Articles of Association" without authorization, touted the government's supervision of private affairs, which had been effective, and emphasized that the Minister of Beiyang (Yuan Shikai) had supreme authority in the China Merchants Bureau.
The imposition of power and feudal imperial ideas on joint-stock enterprises has caused many conflicts.
In recent years, he followed Yuan Shikai's orders and issued Zhili government bonds in China Merchants Group, economically exploited China Merchants Group in disguised form, and plundered wealth to enrich Beiyang's armaments.
In short, his arrival had a serious impact on the operation and management of China Merchants Group, and he was called a "thief" by Chinese and foreign business people.
