In desperation, Hu Guangyong had an idea and gave Yunxiang to his patron, Governor Wang Youling, as a favor. However, in doing so, Hu Guangyong lost Yunxiang, but he gained Wang Youling's respect and gained the loyal Yunxiang.
The eyeliner has since mastered the governor's whereabouts. In a sense, it can be said that he has controlled Wang Youling and made him use it for Hu Guangyong. This transaction can be compared with Lu Buwei's rare goods, but Li Ningyu doesn't like this approach very much.
After this impeccable deal was completed, Yunxiang became Hu's first bargaining chip for success. Maybe it was in business negotiations. For his own long-term interests, Hu Guangyong reluctantly gave up his love again and again, turning his love into a piece of cake.
He gave this product to others, just like in order to be close to the tree of Jiangsu Provincial Academician He Guiqing, he gave his concubine Sister Aqiao to He Guiqing as another gift.
As the saying goes: You can't trap a wolf if you don't want to give up your children. Although Hu Guangyong has repeatedly emphasized that he is a businessman who should keep emotions and business completely separate, and the two will never be confused, his combination with Yang Qi places more emphasis on the influence of emotions on business.
After marrying Yang Qi, Yang Qi immediately became Hu Guangyong's right-hand man, making Hu Guangyong even more powerful and effectively promoting the further development of Hu Guangyong's career. Unfortunately, Yang Qi passed away prematurely.
This left Hu Guangyong with some regrets, but not long after, Hu Guangyong met another girl with great business acumen. She was the most important woman around Hu Xueyan, and the girl Cuihuan who accompanied Hu Guangyong throughout his life was the young girl at that time.
The famous "Mrs. Luo Si".
Today, Li Ningyu planned to meet with the red-top businessman Hu Guangyong. Shanghai, a prosperous city, had become the main trading port of the Qing Dynasty decades ago. According to Li Ningyu's plan, through his own Prince Gong
As a government official, I made an appointment with this big businessman, but who would have thought that he would ignore me at all.
In a fit of anger, Li Ningyu was ready to give up on this matter, but thinking back, if Hu Guangyong's financial resources and abilities were not used in the early stage, achieving the goal he wanted would have been postponed for at least 10 years. Having no choice but to compromise, Li Ningyu came up with another idea.
One trick is a honey trap.
First, several beauties were recruited from Suzhou and Hangzhou. After Li Ningyu's marketing plan and promotion methods, a unique event to win the title of Oiran was held in a fireworks place in Shanghai.
The courtesan Liu Yan, who has been publicized for a month, is actually just a few girls from ordinary people's families. Under Li Ningyu's careful guidance, the talented Hangzhou girl Liu Yan quickly learned various business skills.
Then Li Ningyu asked Tie Bing to spread rumors everywhere, and finally asked Liu Yan to step forward to solve the problem. Gradually, Liu Yan became somewhat famous, and a month later the oiran selection incident finally occurred.
At this time, the red-top businessman Hu Guangyong appeared in Shanghai. Of course, there were many silent participants in all this and things. For example, Zhang Jun, a soldier, was arranged by Li Ningyu to lurk in Hu Guangyong's business to find out the news. Among them
The person who helped Li Ningyu the most was Morini, the assistant to the German minister.
After Li Ningyu's words in Tianjin that day, Morini immediately researched Li Ningyu's identity and background. Finally, he made a bold decision to start a preliminary cooperation with Li Ningyu, and then joined Li Ningyu's Candy and Stick.
Under the command, the German minister's assistant Morini used his German and British acquaintances in Shanghai to create perfect smoke bombs for Liu Yan.
It was because of the involvement of Germany and the British that the red-top businessman Hu Guangyong became interested. First of all, in the late Qing Dynasty, Hu Guangyong already had his own big backing, and there was no need to continue to climb up, so Li Ningyu used foreigners to attract
he.
At about 8 o'clock in the night, Li Ningyu brought Uncle Fu and Tie Bing to Xiangzhi Building. This property is one of my newly purchased properties. From the name, it looks like a place for fireworks, but in fact it is just a leisure teahouse.
, there is no special service here, but there are beautiful and talented girls dancing, playing music, listening to ditties, and drinking good tea.
Although Xiangzhi Building has only been open for a month, it adopts a membership system. Even if you are not a member, no matter how powerful you are, money cannot enter. The entrance fee of one thousand taels of silver is definitely a sky-high price in this society, because an ordinary family of three
The family's monthly expenses were only five taels of silver. Li Ningyu came up with this idea when he was thinking about dealing with Hu Guangyong.
However, the role of Xiangzhilou is not only to deal with Hu Guangyong, it also has another role, that is, as Li Ningyu's future intelligence station, because Li Ningyu knows the source of any information, but there is no such place as many and comprehensive, and it uses members
Li Ningyu also made a lot of money from the system, because five people have become gold members of Rouge House, and their membership fees are as high as one hundred thousand taels of silver.
The five people there are Li Ningyu, Morini, Williams, Hu Guangyong, and Xu Guodong. Williams is one of the assistants to the British Minister in China and was introduced by Morini. Xu Guodong is the prefect of Shanghai. In fact, except for
Hu Guangyong made real money, and everyone else got membership cards from Li Ningyu, a gold membership card made of gold foil.
Balsam Building is a building that combines Chinese and Western elements. It was formerly a grand theater. Li Ningyu bought it with 30,000 taels of silver and then spent 50,000 taels on decoration. Li Ningyu really spent a lot of money, and for what is about to happen tonight
Li Ningyu was looking forward to it. Uncle Fu showed his gold card, and Li Ningyu led Tie Bing into the Balsamic Building. Perhaps because of today's oiran selection event, there were obviously more people in the hall today.
Li Ningyu did not intend to stay but walked towards the gold card member private room on the third floor. Under the guidance of the two Balsam House girl waiters, Li Ningyu quickly took a seat and casually ordered a few snacks and tea.
Seeing Uncle Fu standing aside, he motioned for him to sit down, while Tie Bing and the messenger girl Rong'er stood aside quietly.
After Uncle Fu just sat down, Li Ningyu poured tea for Uncle Fu and said with a smile: "Uncle Fu, I see there are a lot of people here today. You have worked hard these days!".
"Master, you have broken me. These are the things I should do. If you hadn't come to save my life, I would have died in prison with my two sons!" Maybe it was because he saw Li Ningyu again.
Pouring Uncle Fu water was another way of praising him. Uncle Fu immediately stood up and said without daring to show off.
"Uncle Fu, sit down! Sit down! You should know that I have never treated you as an outsider! Why are you so polite?" Seeing Uncle Fu like this, Li Ningyu got up and pulled him to sit down. Then Li Ningyu followed Uncle Fu.
The chat started, and after about a few minutes, two familiar figures appeared. Morini and Williams came together. Williams was a blond man, a bit handsome, but only in the eyes of Westerners, and then Uncle Fu and Tie
The soldiers immediately got up and left, while the messenger girl Ronger stayed to help us pour tea and water.
After a simple greeting, Li Ningyu immediately saw the unhappiness on the face of the British Minister's Assistant Williams, secretly smiled in his heart and said slowly: "On August 27, the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia erupted and caused a massive earthquake.
Tsunami!”.
The words came out again and again. Morini and Williams looked at me with wide eyes, but Li Ningyu continued to drink his tea. It seemed that nothing had ever happened or said anything in the private room, and then Li Ningyu
Yu heard the two of them whispering there.
A few words still escaped from their murmurs. Li Ningyu slowly drank tea while enjoying the singing and dancing in the Xiangzhi Building hall, and occasionally exchanged a few words with the servant girl Ronger.
