In the west wing, Yi Yunchang was slowly pacing back and forth in the room, there is a way to know that a son is not as good as a father, and he knows his son's temperament and details, he can't be more clear, he doesn't believe that Yi Zhishu can borrow silver from Wu Bingjian, not to mention that it is still 400,000.

He is not worried about Yi Zhifen annoying Wu Bingjian, the worst result, the third child also absconded from Nanyang, incognito, and accompanied the third child to Wu's house to go this experience, which is nothing more than to make the third child die and go to Nanyang with peace of mind.

"Yi Kunguan, Grandpa is invited." Wu Changqing said with a smile outside the door.

Seeing that Wu Changqing came to invite him, Yi Yunchang felt a little surprised, there were servants of the Wu family outside the door, how could Wu Bingjian ask Wu Changqing to invite him? Seeing Wu Changqing smiling all over his face, his heart jumped for no reason, what is the situation?

Yi Yunchang, who was confused, followed Wu Changqing into the hall, glanced at it quickly, and saw Yi Zhizhi sitting at the bottom of Wu Bingjian, and only got up when he saw him come in, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, what was going on?

Without waiting for him to come forward to salute, Wu Bingjian asked directly: "How much foreign debt does Futai Bank owe?" ”

Yi Yunchang took a few steps forward and said without thinking: "A total of 400,000." ”

"Four hundred thousand?" Wu Bingjian turned his head to look at Yi Zhifen and said, "How much did you just say to borrow?" Half a million? ”

Hearing this, Yi Yunchang looked at his third child in surprise, this kid actually opened his mouth to borrow 500,000? Immediately after, his heart jumped wildly, what happened? Wu Bingjian: Is this agreeing to borrow? How did the third child get there? Can you borrow silver from Wu Bingjian's hands in a friendly manner?

Wu Changqing also glanced at him quickly, this guy is really bold, he dared to borrow an extra 100,000 yuan without concealment, is he in debt for gambling outside? Or do you want to ransom the popular Qingqi people?

Seeing that the eyes of the three of them were focused on themselves, Yi Zhizhi smiled nonchalantly, he had long expected that this matter would be a gang on the spot, 100,000 silver dollars is not a small amount, whether it is Wu Bingjian or Yi Yunchang, it is not easy to be confused.

"The extra 100,000 borrowed is of other use to the younger generation." Yi Zhizu said calmly: "There is the "Guangzhou Weekly" founded by British businessmen in Guangzhou, and the "Macao Monthly" founded by the Portuguese in Macao, but unfortunately they are both in foreign languages, and the coverage of the two newspapers is also a little narrower.

The juniors are not talented, and they want to establish a Chinese newspaper, which not only opens up the people's vision, but also correctly guides public opinion, in addition, the juniors also want to build a slightly larger Yixue. ”

Wu Changqing ignored his nonsense and asked directly: "Can you make money by running a newspaper?" ”

"If you do everything to the extreme, you will make money." Yi Zhizhi said confidently: "Newspapers are not only beneficial to the country and the people, but also can make money. ”

"That's kind of interesting." Wu Bingjian said with interest: "Jianyi learning can't also make money, right?" ”

"Absolutely." Yi Zhi's contentment said without hesitation.

What is Righteousness? Admission is free! If you don't charge tuition, this is a real loss-making business, how can you make money? Wu Bingjian and the three of them were a little puzzled, and after a while, Wu Changqing muttered: "It's not only for righteousness, but also for ...... How else to make money? ”

"The benefits of righteousness and learning are not in the present, but in the long run." Yi Zhizu glanced at Wu Bingjian's grandfather and grandson, and said: "The Yixue that the younger generation wants to build is slightly different from the general Yixue, not to cultivate talents for the imperial examination, but to focus on cultivating handicraft craftsmen and professionals needed for foreign trade. ”

Yi Zhi's contentment is enough, and he doesn't want to say more, the so-called extra 100,000 silver dollars is just a starting point, so as to throw out the two baits of running a newspaper and building a school.

Looking at Yi Zhi, who was calm and talked well, Yi Yunchang was a little distracted for a while, this is his third child? The third child, who was quite restrained in front of him, can now talk eloquently in front of Wu Bingjian? When did he come up with these weird ideas?

"It's better to be young and dare to be imaginative." Wu Bingjian sighed with emotion, then looked at Yi Yunchang and said: "The collapse of Xingtai Bank is imminent, and the thirteen people are panicking, and besides, it is also the peak season for maritime trade, you see...... First borrow 100,000 cash from Futai Bank, and the remaining 300,000 debts will be guaranteed by Jardine Matheson. ”

Although he had expected it in his heart, but Wu Bingjian, who heard it with his own ears, said these words, Yi Yunchang was still overjoyed, and Yihe Xing was borrowing money and guaranteeing, which made it clear that he was fully supporting, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Pinghu Gongda, the Yi family must be unforgettable, Fu Tai Xing will be the first to look forward to Wei Yihe in the future." ”

Wu Bingjian waved his hand and said: "Ling Lang is talented, Futai will definitely prosper in the future, and the old man is just a good fate today." ”

Hearing this, Wu Changqing was nothing, but Yi Yunchang was very surprised, what did the three boys talk about with Wu Bingjian? can be so praised by him, isn't this like grabbing some fatal handle of the Wu family's children to blackmail the Wu family, what is going on?

Yi Yunchang's overjoyed and surprised expression was seen by Wu Bingjian, he glanced at Yi Zhicontent, secretly thinking that this little guy was really hidden, and even his own father had been hiding it, it seemed that if it weren't for the bankruptcy of Futai Bank this time, the Yi family was in a desperate situation, and this guy was afraid that he would not have come out.

Listening to Wu Bingjian's praise, Yi Zhizhi hurriedly said humbly: "It's just a little superficial, how dare you be so ridiculously praised as Pinghu Gong, it's really killing a kid." ”

Wu Bingjian said with a rare smile: "There is no need to be humble for contentment, the thirteen merchants will definitely have your place in the future...... Raising his eyes and catching a glimpse of the maid coming in with a tea tray, he looked at Wu Changqing and said, "Xingtai Bank has closed down, and the Hong Kong foot merchants are afraid that they are all panicking, the hour is not early, Changqing, you can accompany Yi Kunguan to Yihe for a walk." ”

If you don't take such a stingy person, you can't drink tea and leave? Wu Changqing was full of slander, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to bow down and promise.

Seeing that Wu Bingjian had the intention to keep him alone for a long talk, Yi Zhizhi was also anxious, the goal had been achieved, he didn't want to stay longer, now he didn't know much about the situation of the Thirteen Lines, and he had to talk about it again, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The younger generation was drunk and fell into the water the day before yesterday, and has not yet recovered, Pinghu Gong is gracious, and the younger generation is grateful, and the younger generation is allowed to come to the door again another day to be taught." ”

Hearing him say this, Wu Bingjian was not good at keeping guests, so he immediately bowed his head and said: "Okay, next time, come back next time, don't report it, just come in." ”

As soon as he came out of Yanhui Building, Wu Changqing grabbed Yi Zhixiang and deliberately took a few steps behind, and laughed softly: "Now I know what it means to be a real person without showing up, your kid is really hiding deep enough, and he even coaxed the old man to even take out the treasured red robe, but you really have you." ”

Yi Zhizu didn't have much impression of him, which at least showed that the two were not too familiar before, but Wu Changqing's tone and demeanor were all familiar and affectionate, which made him a little uncertain, so he had to say vaguely: "It's not forced, it's just a matter of urgency." ”

Wu Changqing heard the conversation between the two from beginning to end, naturally he didn't believe in any nonsense that made wisdom out of a hurry, but he didn't expose it, he didn't dare to reveal the things that he was hiding in eavesdropping, so he changed the topic immediately and said: "Can running a newspaper really make money?" I heard that "Guangzhou Weekly" and "Macao Monthly" are all accompanied by money. ”
