Chapter 249 No one can match the ability to fool people
Zhen Yuhuan tidied up her appearance, and Li Guolou stood beside the carriage to support her. Zhen Yuhuan stepped out of the carriage in a charming manner. Baozhifang is changing with each passing day, and a new "Jinfeng Yinlou" store opposite is being renovated. This is a joint-stock silver house, and Li Guolou
Lou holds 30% of the shares, and Li Guolou’s family holds 30% of the shares because he uses the family’s brand name, and the remaining 40% of the shares are paid by Zheng Laizi. In addition to gold and silver jewelry, jade and jade occupies the two-story store.
occupied half of the territory.
How could Li Guolou let go of the hugely profitable industry? His family originally ran an antique business, but now there are more and more people. To support these people, they have to have something to do. He doesn't want to get involved in the business of brothels and casinos. He wants to have a good reputation.
Do the right thing.
Li Guolou glanced at a pawn shop next to him. The black signboard had shining gold letters, "Integrity Pawn Shop". This is an industry in which princes and nobles share shares. Ordinary businessmen cannot penetrate into this industry. The smuggled items confiscated by the customs every year are from this company.
The business of a million taels of silver from the pawnshop was not accessible to outsiders even though they could see through the path. However, it was precisely because "Baozhifang" successfully established itself here that it attracted wealthy people, and business in the alley prospered from the east.
Famous names in the capital flocked to the place. Looking at this scene, Li Guolou felt happy for his eldest brother. One of the plots here belonged to his brother Li Guoyun, and he could take advantage of the family's prosperity.
That guy came towards me, his steps were swaying, and he looked like a master.
"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!" Li Guolou said with a smile: "Well, Bazi, I just happened to talk about you, and you showed up. Why are you going to the pawn shop?"
"Hey! Little Lizi, what can I do? I'm chatting with my neighbors. Why are we having a family dinner?" When Na Bazi saw Zhen Yuhuan beside him, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Yes, let's have dinner together." Li Guolou regarded Nabazi as his own family and invited Nabazi to dinner without any problem. He often invited his friends to dinner. Even if any of his friends were flirtatious and touched his grandma, he would not think so.
Xu. Since he brought the grandmothers out to do business, they have to endure these things. A canary raised in a boudoir is of little use, but beauty has huge value. Li Guolou understands this.
The three of them walked into Baozhi Room together. At noon, the hall was full of guests, and there was no room for the four people in the fifth class to sit in the lobby. The fifth class was the foreman with a seat, wearing a bow tie around his neck.
As soon as Li Guolou touched his nose, he knew there was something fishy inside, and Nawu discovered a tip-making business. His ability to exploit loopholes was unparalleled.
Inside the Cuiyun Pavilion, the orioles and swallows were chirping and making a lot of noise, and Na Yan was also sitting inside. A group of distinguished people passed around the ornaments purchased in the Old Summer Palace, and exchanged experiences on dealing with eunuchs and maids.
Li Guolou was shocked when he saw the ornaments on the round table. They were piled up like a mountain.
"Second Grandma, didn't I tell you to look at them? Why are they selling so many useless things?" Li Guolou picked up a string of prayer beads and expressed his disgust. His family was Catholic.
"What's wrong with the group purchase price? I'm in charge!" Chen Xiangfang didn't buy it and was the first to jump out.
"Grandma, don't scare Xiaolou. I've seen it and it's a good deal! These are all palace treasures. Some were stolen by the palace maids and eunuchs, and some were rewarded by the empress. I'll check them. Those dead eunuchs can't take advantage.
They don't understand the value." Xie Xiuzhu gave Li Guolou reassurance, but did not disclose the total amount of money spent. Men only know how much money they spent, but they don't know that jewelry is meaningful to women.
"Oh;;;;;;" Li Guolou looked at the Sanskrit patterns on the beads, which were very delicately carved.
"How much is the total?" Li Guolou asked dryly, unable to hold on any longer, as if there was a stumbling rope holding him down.
"Ah hum!" Yingying and Yanyan all coughed, and no one answered Li Guolou's question.
"Don't tell me, it's more than 10,000 taels!" Li Guolou was furious and glared at everyone sitting there.
"Hey, Mike, we are not many. We have so many talents and spent a little money. Those wives of high-ranking officials can get 10,000 taels of silver in one hand, which is beyond our reach." Yelia knew that Li Guolou did not dare to go against her will.
, let her say anything that offends people.
Li Guolou sat down dejectedly and lamented: "It's over! I counted more than 20,000 taels, you are really good at it. Here you say to save, but there you opened such a big hole for me. How can I earn 20,000 taels?"
Two white pieces of silver?"
"Hey hey hey hey!" Everyone at the table was laughing evilly. Li Guolou was a master, and he could see the value at a glance.
"Then make money slowly!" Na Bazi took the string of Buddhist beads from Li Guolou's hand, and he took a fancy to Li Guolou's favorite thing.
"Mike, this is what we gave you." Xie Liya handed a box to Li Guolou.
The brocade box was opened, and inside was a string of court beads, coral, lapis lazuli, turquoise, honey amber, and azure sash, which meant that Li Guolou should be at least a fifth-grade official.
Chen Xiangfang hung the beads around Li Guolou's neck, smiled brightly, and said with approval: "Yes, that's right, don't be so sad. Now that you've sat down, the money is rolling in, and I don't want it now."
You pay for it, and your sisters are willing to support you."
"How much is this? It's less than forty taels of silver." Li Guolou was very dissatisfied with this gift and sent him away.
Yingying and Yanyan didn't seem to hear Li Guolou's dissatisfaction. They divided the spoils among themselves. The order was according to their status, and they lined up to get the jewelry. Chen Xiangfang stretched out the first one as always.
"Stop talking about these boring things, eat first, have a good meal, I will leave after saying a few words, there is great news." Zhen Yuhuan was not interested in the jewelry she got. Jewelry worth a few hundred taels of silver can be multiplied several times.
What? She wants to earn millions of taels of silver back.
Li Guolou glanced at Na Yan and said: "Aunt Big Mouth, have a good meal and you can leave. You can't hear us discussing business."
"Huh!" Na Yan didn't buy anyone's fault. She finally found a rich man and got into the circle of ladies. With her younger brother protecting her, Na Yan wasn't afraid of Li Guolou telling her what to do.
"Sister! Don't be angry, you are not Xiao Lizi's wife. When Fatty dies, you can find Xiao Lizi again." That big-mouthed man couldn't help but talk nonsense.
"That bitch! I'm looking for you! I'll slap you to death, you little bastard." Li Guolou was furious. How could he say such shameless words in front of his daughter Li Lingling (Zheng Lingling changed her surname).
That guy was tired of being scolded a long time ago. He didn't mind the angry scolding of a group of women and picked up the teacup as steadily as a rock. What does it matter? Everyone knew that there was a strange older woman sitting across the table. She didn't even introduce her.
Without introducing it, Li Guolou’s house is filled with filth and evil. What he said is true.
Amid the criticism, a table of people had lunch, recounted what they saw and heard in the Old Summer Palace, and scolded the Eight-Power Allied Forces for their looting of the Old Summer Palace. (The Eight-Power Allied Forces' first looting of the Old Summer Palace was relatively restrained and did not destroy it.
A garden. At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was still doing restoration work on the Old Summer Palace, hoping to restore the splendor of this garden.) "Hey! Can you be a little more restrained in your words? There are British and French people here who live in harmony. Have you forgotten?"
When Li Guolou was eating, he did not forget to remind several patriotic grandmothers.
"It doesn't matter. What we British did in the American colonies in the past was shameless. Now we are considered civilized. You should thank us British for turning into gentlemen." Shelia was not ashamed, but proud, and plundered
For the British, it is a habit that rots their bones.
"Yes! Don't always think about scolding people. Afang Palace was burned by your own Han people. The Eight-Nation Allied Forces did not burn, kill, and loot. The army's discipline is better than that of your Qing army." Yelia did not forget to lend a compliment and spoke shamelessly about military discipline.
above.
Li Guolou sighed and said: "Yes! Who can imagine that the military supplies of the Eight-Nation Allied Forces were provided by us Qing people. When the enemy invaded our country, the people in the countryside provided food and grass for the enemy along the way, just to make the country difficult to make money.
.Sad history, people without integrity, books only talk about the people's spontaneous resistance to the invaders, but do not mention the fact that the people strive to become traitors."
"The so-called forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds! If I were to be invaded by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, I would give poisonous grain to the enemy and poison them to death." Na Bazi lamented that he had no chance to serve the country and came up with a poisonous plan.
Calculate the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.
"There are such people, but they will not die well," Jelia said.
Xie Xiuzhu said angrily: "Why are you mentioning the national humiliation while eating? Let Aixinjueluo worry about it. We just make money to support the family and have children."
"Hi!" Mayuko touched her slightly bulging belly and looked at Li Guolou with a smile. She still came out on top. Yelia also looked at Li Guolou with a smile. She also had a reaction to fetal gas. Li Guolou worked hard.
The hard work finally yielded new results.
"Yeah, it's better not to fight. Peace is hard-won. I think that with a period of peaceful development of 20 to 30 years, our Qing Empire can catch up with the Western powers." The last rebel Nian army in the Qing Empire was finished. Li
Guo Lou hopes that peace will last as long as possible.
"Hey, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Nian Army did harm to people. How did they destroy our Qing Empire? There are still people who say good things for them. They really should be allowed to be cannon fodder." As a Manchu, Nabazi hated the rebels deeply. In the past, the Manchus
There are many privileges, but because of the constant wars, the Manchus have no capital and privileges to boast about.
"Come! Let's have a drink for the coming of peace!" The carefree Wu Peipei couldn't help but stand up. She was also a Manchurian and felt the same way as Na Bazi's words. People at the table stood up, raised their teacups high, and clinked their glasses under the leadership of the oldest person!
After lunch was finished, Na Yan took Li Lingling out. Except for Na Bazi, all the Cuiyun Pavilions were the inner rooms of Li Guolou. Zhen Yuhuan said: "I'm going to talk about something important. Please listen to me. I've decided
Start the "Please come in the bank" plan early. The two plans "Please come in the bank" and "Yeliya Charity Hall" will be implemented together. If we want to do big things, we will come to big ones. We will bet millions of taels of capital at a time and make money.
Tens of millions of taels of silver."
"Ah;;;;;;" All the people at the table were stunned with surprise. They went out for three days to play, and the people from Li Guolou came crazy. People who were not qualified in backstage, capital, and strength had their own whims and wanted to do extraordinary things.
Li Guolou stood up and said: "Don't make a fuss. We are just taking this step early. We have the support of our family and the backing of senior officials. What are we afraid of? We will set up a Sino-foreign joint venture bank and register it in the British Concession in Tianjin. Yeli
Ya Ren was the first chairman of "Come In Bank". If I couldn't get a deposit of more than 10 million taels through fraud, my surname would not be Li."
"Well;;;;;; I admire Xiao Lizi's ability to deceive people. I vote in favor." Na Bazi was the first to express his opinion. He is Li Guolou's best friend. He is loyal and stands out.
, it was all done by him, and the benefits came easily. Who said that Li Guolou’s son was still in the belly of the foreign woman?
Yelia sat still, as kind and steady as the Queen Mother, controlling the excitement in her heart. She will rewrite the history of the banking industry for thousands of years, and all her great achievements will write her legend. Who asked Li Guolou to be an official?
What? The name of "Yelia Li" will be engraved on the historical monument, and her second husband Li Guolou is just a foil.
