Ding Richang saw it clearly from the side and said suspiciously: "Brother Xue, the silver system benefits the country and the people, how can it be so bad in your mouth?"
Xue Fucheng drank tea calmly and said slowly: "Ding Xiaogui, I didn't say it was not a good thing, but it has done too much harm to Xiaolou's family business. He just wants to make money, and there is only one word "money" in his head.
To live a harmonious society, everyone needs to make money together, spend money in a sedan chair
Everyone said that without our help, the bank would not be able to grow, and Xie Liya Real Estate Company would also decline. Xiaolou, you have a business vision and are forward-looking, allowing the family business to lead the Westernization Movement. These achievements are actually the result of our Westernization faction secretly behind the scenes.
support. You want to give
When everyone sees the rewards, recruit the second generation of officials to your company and hold important positions. Only such people can bring millions of profits to your company. It is still worthwhile for you to give grandson Ding an annual income of 100,000 or 200,000. You
Pay Grandson Ding an annual salary of 100,000, and he can bring you 100,000
A return of tens of thousands, or even tens of millions in the future. In the future, the entire Fujian and Guangdong will become your sphere of influence. The transaction between power and money will start when you recruit Ding Sunzi, a unique genius. You will open invitations in various places.
When you enter the bank, you start by recruiting the second generation of officials."
Li Guolou curled his lips and replied: "Master Xue, is this necessary? I am the censor of Youdu."
"Yes! Absolutely! There is a big difference between the central and local governments. You have to have a good relationship with the governors of various places and recruit many second-generation officials into your business empire. After a hundred benefits and one loss, after buying the bones for thousands of dollars, the officialdom will be
The currency reform measures implemented by you will definitely be applauded. Li's enterprise will take advantage of the spark to spread all over China. You want to support the backbone of the Qing Dynasty.
The son is just around the corner. Xiaolou, you have to know that my son is a good person in public relations." Ding Richang stood up from the ground, showing his teeth and claws, and drew a blueprint for Li Guolou's future. Thinking that the prodigal son could get close to Li Guolou,
Holding a golden rice bowl, you have to have an income of millions of taels even if there are droughts and floods. The family business will not be ruined by your son. How can you not let him applaud you?
Li Guolou smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone, don't look at me like that. I didn't want to stretch my hand so long. There won't be so many positions by then. How can I support the second generation of officials? If I take a bone, how many evil wolves will take care of it?"
My family's threshold has been broken. You don't know how greedy Prince Qing is. He covets my family's property. He wants to invest in bank shares for every project, and he doesn't want my filial piety. He said he would no longer be a corrupt official. Do you believe it?" [
Is celebrating the prince's honor something that a minister should evaluate? Shen Baozhen looked at him and sighed: "Xiaolou, this is your fault. How can a banking industry make the world's scholars return to their hearts? Business is for you.
To reserve human resources, you need to expand your financial resources. In addition to a big train plan to connect goods to the world, the shipping industry should shift from government-run to private-run, and you need to seize the opportunity to convert state-owned assets into private capital."
Li Guolou glanced at Li Hongzhang and said, "Sir Shen, someone is meddling in the shipping industry. It's not appropriate for me to take another share of the pie."
Shen Baozhen also glanced at Li Hongzhang and replied: "But everyone else has limitations, and you are the only one who can pass through obstacles. In order to make the shipping industry bigger and stronger, it is time to re-integrate. Our clean-up should have ocean navigation capabilities, and shipping
The industry is going to develop into the deep sea, and only you can plan this grand plan."
Li Hongzhang hesitated, stroking three strands of his beard, and said: "We will discuss this issue in the long term and wait until the Spring Festival to discuss it."
Li Guolou was angry: "I never wanted to lead the second generation of officials to take the road of common prosperity. I really want to hand over the wealth created to the state treasury. Your plan is to poach the Qing Dynasty."
"Hey! Xiaolou, you are wrong! This is called sustainable development. It is up to you to promote it, and we Westernizers are fully supporting it behind the scenes. Only when the conservatives and the Qing faction echo each other can our country move forward steadily without causing mutual disruption.
Matter. You are the glue between our various factions. It is not appropriate for you to ask Mr. Fu Xiang to be the leader of business. Only by carrying your name can this ship avoid being smashed with a hole." Xue Fucheng
no
Instead, they discussed with Li Hongzhang why Li Guolou reached the sky in one fell swoop? This is a kind of personality charm. Li Guolou was able to unite all the factions in the court and make the money originally hidden in the cellar cause thunder.
Everything was exposed in broad daylight. Business development is economic circulation. Li Guolou used the idle money of corrupt officials, even the Queen Mother's personal money, and the private money of 20,000 eunuchs, all on business.
Li Hongzhang said: "The second generation of officials need to be managed by someone, especially those who cannot enter the officialdom. This group of people should still flex their muscles in private enterprises and give full play to their characteristics of well-connected people. Xiaolou,
When your company recruits talents, start from
This group of people started so that the currency reform I implemented can be carried out smoothly in various places and create more tax revenue for the country. Of course, you must do it in moderation. Don’t leave the country like your banking industry in the first year.
Leave some room, and increase it by up to 10% in the first year."
This was asking Li Guolou to make false accounts. Li Hongzhang knew very well that as long as the Qing Dynasty implemented the silver dollar system, the Ministry of Accounts could increase tax collection by more than 5 million taels from the banks. This is still the most conservative estimate, and it may even exceed 1,000 taels.
Ten thousand taels of silver. This is not something people will know immediately,
How greedy were the officials in the past? The dignity of officials must be preserved for them. Li Hongzhang sent out a secret message, telling Li Guolou how to manage the account books of the bank he brought in. Of course, the excess profits, they, the major shareholders, will be distributed as dividends in June.
, digest it all in one go.
Li Guolou's head was as big as a fight after hearing that he had to solve all the messy things. A famous playboy in the Qing Dynasty actually wanted to enter his business empire, and he wanted to save a decent seat for Ding Huiheng. He squeezed out a smile and said
"Lord Xiang Fu, we have been talking all night. I am already dizzy and can't bear it anymore. Let's talk again at the dinner. My four ladies are not easy to mess with. I still want to do their job."
Ideological work.”
Li Hongzhang was furious and waved his hand: "Go! We are going to bed too. In the evening, you will invite your four wives to a banquet. I will award certificates to them. The medals will be awarded after returning to Beijing."
"Xiaolou, I'll come to your place for a drink at noon and discuss my insurance plan, so don't sleep." Xue Fucheng expected that Li Guolou would not sleep. The four ladies were all powerful figures.
Keeping pace with the four ladies, we still have to hold small meetings throughout the morning.
Li Guolou bowed to each other, left Li Hongzhang's residence, and walked out of a courtyard, which is where he lives. Here he is a distinguished guest and enjoys the highest standard of treatment, but he is not interested in looking at the quaint pavilions and pavilions. The military can
Let's put it aside, but please come in. The bank's substantial expansion is imminent. How many second-generation officials will he want to get on this smooth sailing this time? Openings in various places
If 20 banks are invited to come to the bank, they will hire a regional manager, which can solve the problem of second-generation officials in various places. If 1,500 banks are invited to come to the bank, they can recruit 75 second-generation officials. On top of the five regional managers, there will be a big one.
It seems that there are still too few district managers, and they will offend many local forces. How to solve the hidden dangers caused by the invasion of local forces by bank forces?
The Qing Dynasty was about to implement the silver dollar system, but Li Guolou had no sense of accomplishment and was under great pressure. His business empire not only had to support thousands of lazy people and losers, but also had to support a group of second-generation officials.
What he originally thought was to lead the second generation of officials to get rich together, but it was heart-wrenching to think about it. Ding Huiheng and Bao Quanzhong sang in harmony and said so many bad things about him behind his back that he actually wanted to lure the wolf into the house.
In the dining room, Ding Richang was in a good mood and had a great appetite. He drank another bowl of porridge. He was not afraid of Li Guolou's rejection and said with a smile: "Xue Dazui! You are really talented. You have become a fake foreign devil so quickly."
I still have something to worry about. My son has a very hot temper. Liu Yong, who thinks he is very talented, refuses to give in for five buckets of rice. Go and help me persuade him. How can a person not bow his head under the eaves?"
Xue Fucheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, Little Ghost Ding. Let me take the initiative and it will succeed immediately. Grandson Ding is also tight on money, and he has not yet reached the stage of being a master."
"That's good, now I can die in peace." Ding Richang glared at Li Hongzhang and left the dining room with his sleeves rolled up.
Shen Baozhen lingered and refused to leave the dining room because he wanted Li Hongzhang to allocate a large amount of funds to him. The Nanyang Navy did not have a subordinate relationship with the Beiyang Navy in terms of structure, but he was a member of Li Hongzhang's line. He listened to Li Hongzhang. Fujian
The Shipping Administration Bureau was a mess left by Zuo Zongtang. Now it has improved in the hands of Shen Baozhen, thanks to Li Hongzhang's strong support.
To engage in the Westernization Movement is to burn money to do things. New things are all piled up with money. The projects that are in the midst of gold and jade are ruined. They are in the ascendant. There are countless projects that were messed up in the hands of the Westernization Movement. Nowadays, the Westernization Movement has the courage to give up everything.
Damn, he dared to bring down the emperor. Industrial projects from all over the country were piled up on Li Hongzhang's case.
In order to properly handle the Taiwan issue, Li Hongzhang agreed to allocate 500,000 taels of silver to Shen Baozhen first, but he had to borrow it from a bank first. He was also short of money now.[
Shen Baozhen was worried and asked: "Master Fu, if you use Li Guolou like this, you are not afraid of inviting people in to cause a bank run. Now I have heard many rumors that are not good for Li Guolou, and I am afraid that someone is going to deal with him."
Li Hongzhang was as steady as a mountain, drinking tea with determination, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, ignore the rumors from the outside world. If Li Guolou failed, there would be no currency reform system. Now that the pilot has not started, some people are deliberately spreading rumors to slander people in the court.
Sir, you also heard what Li Guolou said, Prince Qing wants to be an upright official, and even the gift from Li Guolou is not enough.
Come on, who would want to deal with Li Guolou at this time? The emperor still favors him, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces also fully support the currency reform. Who would do something stupid like killing the goose that lays the egg? Most of these unfavorable rumors are caused by foreigners and those who
The compradors are causing trouble. Don't believe those rumors in the south. I will not let the boat capsize if I am in charge."
"That's good. I'm relieved that Li Guolou won't be like Xue Dazui's paper flood control project. I'll ask Yelia for a note and rush back to Fujian in the afternoon. Teachers from Mawei Shipbuilding School and
The student asked Mr. Ding to arrange the pick-up
Regarding the meeting, originally I wanted to introduce Yan Fu to Li Guolou in person. They are all students studying abroad in England and are the pillars of the country." Shen Baozhen thought of Taiwan's defense and did not dare to stop in Yantai. With Li Hongzhang's order, he
Leave the hotel.
Li Hongzhang went back to the backyard to sleep, thinking about the teachers and students of Mawei Shipbuilding School. Yan Fu was the chief academic officer of Mawei Shipbuilding School and a great talent who had returned from studying in England. But how many pillars of the country are there in the world? Li Hongzhang
He didn't pay attention to Yan Fu, a grandson who looked after English students and gave him a long face. Li Guolou was the only one in the world. Instead, Li Hongzhang took a fancy to Mawei Shipbuilding.
The group of young students in the school, those vigorous students, left a deep impression on them. The energetic images of Deng Shichang, Liu Buchan, and Lin Yongsheng were already in their hearts. He and Shen Baozhen did it.
After the deal, the two battleships were sailed to Mawei Port in order to recruit the students from Mawei Shipbuilding School to the Beiyang Navy. As for Yan Fu, the chief academic officer, Shen Baozhen was allowed to keep them.
Li Guolou and his four wives held a small meeting all morning, finally unified their understanding, and decided to recruit second-generation officials in the Li Group, bundle local forces and centralized power, and take the road of common prosperity. The five people
Play in the living room
They were in love and waiting for Xue Fucheng's arrival. Recruiting talents was Li Guolou's first goal. He valued Xue Fucheng very much. This person put forward fruitful suggestions for the construction of his business empire. Making good use of the second generation of officials could make Li's family more successful.
The group continues to prosper.
Li Guolou had already taken a shower and changed into a casual navy blue silk gown. His braids were not tied up. He was sitting on the Taishi chair. Mayuko stood behind Li Guolou and was massaging his head. The other three
The lady sat on the Taishi chair on the right.
Li Guolou closed his eyes and said: "Seventh Madam, you must unite and stop fighting among yourself. Since you want to go out and do things, it is impossible for everyone to be fair. Don't envy the Third Madam's shares and let outsiders laugh."
Mayuko is a staunch supporter of Yelia and was the first to respond: "Hi! Xiaolou, don't worry, I won't say anything."
Zhen Yuhuan said delicately: "Oh! Now that I know Xiaolou, I was just joking. I didn't expect someone to betray me. You won't dislike me, right?"
Li Guolou opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Dearest Seventh Madam, I listen to you the most. I let you participate in such an important diplomatic occasion. I forgot about Prince Gong's admonishment and returned to Beijing. I don't know why.
Where is the explanation?"
How could Zhen Yuhuan let Yelia and Xie Liya be in the spotlight outside? As soon as the wind blew by their pillows, she asked Li Guolou to take her out of the capital to see the world. Taking Mayuko with her just made outsiders think that their family was very united. In fact, women are together,
Just every day
They kept fighting over trivial matters. When Li Guolou came home, he had to fight for justice for them, which made him exhausted both physically and mentally. However, the ladies were addicted to fighting. It seemed that in his family, they were just living a hard life trying to make ends meet.
.
"Well, I remember Xiaolou well." Zhen Yuhuan twisted her hips and turned her waist. She walked to Li Guolou with broken steps, knelt on the soft mat, and knocked Li Guolou's legs. Men need to be coaxed.
There is only one man in the house, and a dozen ladies surround him.
Li Guolou felt comfortable all over and said calmly: "Well, I love all four ladies, and I don't want to be a prostitute outside. As for the rumors about the eight major alleys, they are all made up by those who are joking for the sake of fame.
, you must not believe it. There are also the third ladies and the female teachers at the New Fashion School. You have to control them and don't allow them to send notes. When I go to visit in the future, I won't even be allowed to ask questions."
Yelia served Li Guolou hot tea and said with a smile: "Xiaolou, there's nothing I can do about it. Those female teachers are foreigners I hired with high salaries. They are all advocates of the women's independence movement. They want to be with me."
You have to understand that this is their motivation to stay in the Qing Dynasty."
"I don't understand. Now when I go out, I feel like a joker. Others are trying to trick me. My ideal is to be a national hero, not a flower-picking thief."
, power tempted him, and he fell into it again and again. Now he wants to serve the country and the people, but the reality is that there are more and more temptations. The Eight-Nation Allied Forces who are coming one after another want to test the depth of his pool, but of course they cannot control it.
It always happens when we live together, but he won't talk about it. When he went to visit Yesenia, he directly dealt with the gypsy woman. After Yesenia's mourning period was over, he promised to take care of Yesenia.
Marry into the family. Thinking of the slutty Yesenia, Li Guolou showed a lustful expression. Behind a man's success, there must be a group of women. This is a symbol of success, and he is an outstanding representative of successful people.
