In the afternoon of the same day, Richmore and MacJoseph sent a telegram back from Shanghai saying that three million pounds had been raised, not far from the expected five million.

After receiving the telegram, Commodus immediately began to look for office space in Jiangbei, Haishu and Jiangdong at the same time, and Yinjiang Development Bank was ready to be listed for business at a later date.

Zhong Yi is also going to officially start laying the stalls.

The first priority is to determine the director of the city-scale construction bureau.

As mentioned earlier, Zhong Yi has already thought about this candidate.

This candidate is Zhong Yi's eldest brother, a top student at Cambridge University, Zhang Yuandong.

So, that night, Zhong Yi sent a telegram to Chongqing, and the people from the telegraph office sent the telegram to the Zhang family living in Chongqing overnight.

After receiving Zhong Yi's telegram, his father-in-law Zhang Mouzhi immediately convened a meeting of his children to study.

As mentioned earlier, the Zhang family is a Western-style family that believes in Christianity and advocates democracy.

Of course, it is only a formality of democracy, and Zhang Mouzhi still has the final say on major affairs.

Because the telegram sent by Zhong Yi involved the rise and fall of the Zhang family in the future, Zhang Mouzhi did not have anyone who was good at it, but gathered his six sons and the only daughter Zhang Manyi who had not yet left the cabinet.

After Mrs. Zhang, her six sons, and Zhang Manyi had read the telegram, Zhang Mouzhi said, "Let's talk about it." ”

As the eldest son, Zhang Yuandong was the first to speak, and said at the moment: "Dad, I personally have no opinion, and I am willing to go to Yinjiang to help my fifth brother-in-law, after all, he is alone in Yinjiang, and it is difficult to perform without a few powerful cronies around him." ”

Zhang Mouzhi frowned when he heard this, and he was inevitably a little disappointed with his eldest son's speech, because his vision was too short-sighted.

In comparison, Zhang Mouzhi, who has been up and down in the business world for most of his life, is much older, and he has already seen an opportunity from this telegram sent by Zhong Yi!

A good opportunity for the Zhang family to become a top giant!

If you want to talk about wealth, the current Zhang family is actually rich enough.

The third son-in-law is the uncle of the country today, the third son is the major general of the General Staff Headquarters, and the younger son-in-law is even more amazing. Really, the Zhang family can have today's pattern, Zhang Mouzhi has no regrets, and he can explain to his ancestors when he arrives at Jiuquan.

However, it is an undeniable fact that the Zhang family is still far from the top giants.

Not to mention the Song family, the Kong family, the Chen family and the Jiang family, it is the Sheng family in Shanghai and the Zhao family in Xiaogang, and their financial resources and heritage are also beyond the reach of their Zhang family.

With the Song family, the Kong family, the Jiang family and the Chen family, Zhang Mouzi didn't dare to think about it.

But side by side with the Sheng family in Shanghai and the Zhao family in Xiaogang, Zhang Mouzhi still wants to.

But then again, the Zhang family's business has expanded to the present, and has entered a bottleneck, if it can't break through this bottleneck, it will be stagnant, and the best result can only be to maintain the current situation, but if you can break through the bottleneck, there will be a chance to go further, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the Sheng family and the Zhao family.

And the telegram from the little son-in-law made Zhang Mouzhi see an opportunity.

At that moment, Zhang Mouzhi was angry and said: "You just see that your fifth brother-in-law wants someone to help?" ”

"Or else?" Zhang Yuandong said blankly, "The fifth brother-in-law sent a telegram at this time, didn't he come to ask for help?" ”

Zhang Mouzhi was a little impatient, turned his gaze to his second son Zhang Yuanxi, and said in a deep voice: "Yuanxi, you can talk about it." ”

Zhang Yuanxi glanced at the eldest brother and said: "Although the fifth brother-in-law can give the eldest brother is only the secretary general of the bureau, but the director of this bureau is concurrently served by the fifth brother-in-law, if nothing else, the position of the secretary general is just a transition, or it won't be long before the eldest brother should be able to serve as the director of the urban planning and construction administration." ”

"So what? I am now the director of the Chongqing Construction Bureau. Zhang Yuandong said, "Even if he is transferred to the director of the Yinjiang Construction Bureau, he will be demoted, and Yinjiang can be compared with Chongqing?" ”

"Rat-eyed!" Zhang Mouzhi couldn't help it, and said, "Do you really think that Ziren will continue to work as mayor of Yinjiang?" Don't forget, he was always a soldier, and his real duty was to lead the soldiers! ”

"This ......" Zhang Yuandong's expression suddenly moved slightly, he really hadn't thought about this.

But if he can really serve as the mayor of Yinjiang, Zhang Yuandong is still looking forward to it.

After a pause, Zhang Mouzhi said again: "Besides, although Ziren only said a few words in the telegram, I can feel that what he is planning is big!" ”

"What's the big plan?" Zhang Yuanbei said, "What do you mean?" ”

Zhang Mouzhi said: "Let me ask you, what is the biggest difficulty in our country now? ”

The youngest son, Zhang Yuanfan, hurriedly replied: "The biggest difficulty now is the lack of materials. ”

"You can teach." Zhang Mouzhi nodded happily and said, "That's right, the biggest difficulty in our country now is the lack of materials, almost all materials are extremely scarce, at this time, as long as you can produce products, you don't have to worry about selling them at all!" Therefore, I guess what Ziren means is that he wants to attract those factories stranded in Shanghai to Yinjiang! ”

"Dad, when you say that, I think of one thing, I'm afraid it's not just the factory in Shanghai." Zhang Yuannan suddenly said, "In the morning, I heard several colleagues discussing, saying that the United States wants to carry out economic cooperation with us, build an industrial park in Yinjiang, and the United States will relocate its factory to this industrial park, and the Yinjiang government will give tax incentives. ”

"And this?" Zhang Mouzhi said, "That shows that my judgment is right!" ”

Zhang Yuandong frowned and said, "Fifth brother-in-law, does he want to vigorously develop industry in Yinjiang?" But the question is, can the poor population of Yinjiang afford it? ”

"Are you stupid?" Zhang Mouzhi was completely disappointed in his eldest son, and said angrily, "At present, there are at least four million refugees stranded in the concession of Shanghai, with no food and clothing, and Yinjiang is close to Shanghai, guarding the concession of Shanghai, is Yinjiang still afraid that it will not be able to recruit enough people?" ”

Zhang Yuandong was speechless.

"You still stay in Chongqing and honestly be your construction director." Zhang Mouzhi snorted, and said to his second son Zhang Yuanxi, "Yuanxi, you go to Yinjiang to help your brother-in-law pick up this burden!" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yuanxi glanced at Zhang Yuandong and said, "Dad, isn't this okay?" The fifth brother-in-law called the name of the eldest brother. ”

"What's so bad about that?" Zhang Mouzhi said, "Ziren ordered the Far East, just because of the situation, and not because your ability is not as good as your brother, both of you brothers graduated from Cambridge University, and they both studied architecture, yes!" ”

After a pause, Zhang Mouzhi said again: "Not only are you going to the Far West, but your father and Man Yi are also going to go after a while." ”

"That's right." Mrs. Zhang said, "It's time for Man Yi and Ziren to get married." ”
