Six hundred and thirty-seven chapters a stone stirred up a thousand waves
But he said that Jin Wanwan had eaten at Li You's place and talked for a while with his daughter and son-in-law. Seeing that it was already afternoon, he stood up and left. Li You sent him out of the door. When he was leaving, Jin Wanwan thought of something, and
He asked: "Don't you have a friendship with the eldest princess? Can you ask about Su Niang's current situation through His Highness Chitose?"
Li You advised: "My old Taishan, you should stop having such thoughts! The affairs of the emperor's family are completely different from ours. Now Sister Su has a dragon seed, but the queen on the other side has not moved. This is even more embarrassing for both Chinese and foreign countries.
Attention! At this extremely sensitive moment, don’t make any unnecessary moves.”
Li You knew that the emperor often read the Mingli newspaper. The newspaper published the news of Jin Wanwan's arrival in Beijing. If the emperor was interested, he would naturally summon Jin Wanwan.
This is the most upright and least suspicious way, otherwise through other channels it will always be seen as collusion between the inside and outside, and the inner palace. If you are too proactive and cause the emperor to become suspicious, it will really be the worst consequence, so you must not
cautious.
But Li You didn't want to reveal this possibility to Jin Wanwan, lest Jin Wanwan think too much and get lost. Besides, he was not sure.
But it was said that Gao Changjiang from Hankou lived with Jin Wanwan in the Huizhou Guild Hall and was very busy all day long. Every day he went out at dawn and came back at midnight, visiting and banqueting everywhere. Many Huguang and Huizhou officials had his posts.
Presented.
Expanding new contacts and consolidating old friendships were Gao Da Yuan's main purpose for coming to the capital. As for his tea business, it was just a side matter like Jin Wanwan's tea.
In a few days, Gao Da Yuanwai became quite popular in Beijing, Huguang and Huguang circles due to his generosity, and earned quite a bit of fame.
It was nearly midnight that day. Gao Yuanwai came back from outside feeling a little drunk. When he entered the courtyard, he saw that the lights in the east wing were still on. It turned out that Gao Changjiang and Jin Wanwan rented this large courtyard in the clubhouse together.
Wanwan and his entourage lived in the east chamber. Gao Yuanwai and his entourage lived in the west chamber.
Since there is still light in the east chamber, it means that Jin Wanwan has not rested yet. Gao Changjiang thought for a while, he only cares about running outside these days. He is alienated from Jin Wanwan. This is not what he should be and he should make up for it.
Therefore, he turned around and walked towards the east chamber, where he wanted to sit with Jin Baiwan. After entering the room, the host and the guest sat down, and the two outsiders naturally talked about what they had seen in Beijing in the past few days.
Jin Wanwanqing said calmly: "Today I went to Qipan Street in the south of the city and chatted with the shopkeeper and gentlemen of Huichang Bank for a day. I gained a lot."
Gao Changjiang drank a few sips of strong tea to sober up a little. After hearing this, he couldn't help but kindly pointed out: "Brother Jin, I have to say something unpleasant, what you are doing is not the right way."
Jin Wanwan didn't care, "Brother Gao Xian, if you have any great opinions, I would like to hear the details."
Gao Changjiang's attitude was very sincere. He advised: "The capital's products are not rich and its folk customs are not rich, so why do people all over the world flock to it? Without him, the word "power" touches your heart! Or maybe the capital's native product is the powerful officials, and there is no other place in the world.
We live far away in the south, and it is not easy to enter Beijing. Now that we are here, we must not miss the opportunity.
We must seize the opportunity to make friends with all the powerful forces. As the saying goes, the more soldiers Han Xin has, the better. Rich people like us may become jealous at some point. How can we safely protect the family business without official connections? Although you are known as the head of the country,
But I dare not say that it is foolproof. The more connections you have, the more security you will have. This is definitely true.
So if you go and chat with some bank boss, what's the benefit to you? Your main business is not in the north, and it's completely useless to build friendship with merchants in the capital. Why waste your breath! It's better to build a reputation and deepen your friendship with the officials and dignitaries from Yangzhou.
If we communicate well at once, I might receive some care in the future, and my efforts today will not be in vain."
Jin Wanwan smiled and said nothing. Although Gao Changjiang's words were snobbish, realistic and sincere, they did make sense, but they were not his Jin Wanwan's reasons.
He is not an ordinary wealthy businessman now. He is also half an imperial businessman. He has a much greater sense of security than Gao Yuanwai. Gao Yuanwai cannot understand this. Besides, the main purpose of his coming to Beijing this time is not to be like Gao Changjiang.
Moving relationship.
After Gao Yuanwai spoke to Jin Wanwan, he felt sleepy. After yawning, he went back to his room to sleep. When he got up the next day, he thought about his itinerary for the day. After washing, he went out to have breakfast, but he was in the front yard of the guild hall.
I saw several newspapers lying in the hall.
Gao Changjiang has read this new thing several times in the past few days and has to admit that it is interesting. Like Jin Wanwan, he also had the idea of printing a newspaper after returning to Hankou.
The senior member of the foreign affairs department picked up today's newspaper and looked up. The headline on the front page of the newspaper was not a curse on the government, but two lines of large characters: "The inside story of Jin Wanwan's entry into Beijing is revealed, overturning a thousand-year business tradition in one fell swoop!"
Jin Wanwan made the headlines? Gao Yuanwai hurriedly read the content again, "The Newspaper and everyone know that the wealthy businessman Jin from Yangzhou had secret talks with the capital Huichang Yinhao yesterday. This newspaper inquired from many sources and learned that the two wanted to make an oath of alliance.
Mutual recognition of banknotes. If successful, the two places in the capital and Yangzhou can exchange banknotes with banknotes! I also heard that a senior official from the Ministry of Finance was here to discuss it.
This is something that has never been done before, and it can also be a major event that people all over the world have to pay attention to. From now on, maybe a piece of paper banknotes will be popular everywhere, and it can be redeemed and exchanged everywhere, which is very convenient!"
After reading it, Gao Da Yuanwai was stunned and fell out. He also knew about the circulation range of Mingli Newspaper. It is said that wherever there are literate people in the capital, there is Mingli Newspaper. The news in Mingli Newspaper can really be spread overnight.
Everyone in the city knew about it.
Before, he thought that Jin Wanwan was too low-key and wasting the opportunity to go to Beijing, but it turned out that he was high-profile! This quiet limelight is much greater than him, and his ambition is much greater than him.
I had kindly tried to persuade him to be more active last night, but I was really ashamed of myself.
Gao Changjiang can maintain such a huge family business, so he is certainly not a stupid person. He immediately thought that everything is difficult to start a business, and for something as ground-breaking as long-distance exchange, how could Jin Wanwan dare to do this without strong support?
Therefore, there must be someone high-ranking and high-status behind Jin Wanwan! But I have only heard of Jin Wanwan’s dealings with his son-in-law, and no one else. At this point, Gao Changjiang couldn’t help but think of Deng Shilang’s words: “Master Li is
A special one.”
The senior member turned around and walked towards the rented compound. He shouted loudly outside the door: "Brother Jin, it's so hard for me to hide this from my younger brother! Please recommend me!"
Not only Gao Changjiang, but also the plan of long-distance exchange between Yangzhou businessman Jin Wanwan and Huichang Bank was strongly promoted by Mingli Newspaper. In addition, the matter itself was eye-catching. It was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Officials and merchants in the capital were immediately involved.
And it caused great shock in the bank. (To be continued...)
