Weight loss? Yan Shikuan lowered his head and examined himself, and muttered softly: "We have lost more than ten pounds in the past two months, what's wrong with being fat?" ”

Yi Zhixiang didn't want to argue with him, since this period of time, the fat man didn't come to the door every morning to wait for him, since he came most of the time, thinking of Yan Qichang giving the fat man a thousand oceans, he asked tentatively: "But the matter of Xingtai Xing has eyebrows?" ”

"The third brother is really a god, and he can guess it." Yan Shikuan flattered a sentence before he said: "Yesterday, my father and Baoshun Foreign Bank have negotiated that Xingtai Bank will repay all debts in five years, and the debts should be paid at a monthly interest rate of five percent. ”

"Five percent a month?" Yi Zhishu frowned and said, "Then Xingtai Bank has to pay more than 10,000 yuan a month just for interest?" ”

Yan Shikuan nodded and said, "The old man doesn't seem to be worried, but he looks happy, no, he specially rewarded a thousand oceans." ”

That's probably the crow on the ground. The filmmakers negotiated the smuggling of the crows. Regarding the matter of the film, Yi Zhizhi was content and silent, and after walking silently for a while, he spoke: "Fatty, let's split up." ”

"Separation?" Yan Shikuan was stunned and said, "Third brother, I haven't married yet, what kind of family do I have?" ”

"Can't you separate if you don't get married?" Yi Zhizhi said disapprerovingly: "Your family is a mess anyway, and you just leave the house." ”

"Out of the house?" Yan Shikuan said: "Yuanqi's shares are in my name, what will I pay back the 50,000 shares?" ”

Yi Zhizu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Are you worried that your brothers have opinions?" ”

"There must be opinions, not a cent of debt is shared, and 50,000 cash is also divided, so as not to make a fuss." Yan Shikuan said in a low voice: "None of my brothers are fuel-efficient lamps. ”

"I'll go and tell Ling Zun, I'll see who dares to squeak."

"Don't." Yan Shikuan said: "The third brother has opened his mouth, and no one in the Yan family will object, but how will I face my family in the future, or transfer the shares to my father?" ”

"Nope." Yi Zhishu categorically denied without thinking about it: "Yuanqi shares are rare, you make an IOU first and pay it off within a year." ”

"Pay it off in a year?" Yan Shikuan said with a bitter face: "Third brother, that's 50,000, not 500." ”

"More than 50,000 big things, your third brother is now the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi." Yi Zhizhi said with a big deal: "Don't worry, everything has me." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shikuan settled down and said, "That being the case, I will buy the courtyard on Mashacang Street and divide the family." ”

"As soon as possible." Yi Zhizhi said with a full jaw: "You will stay in Tianbao Watch Factory for the time being, and you will not be involved in family affairs." ”

Yan Shikuan knew that he didn't want to follow the crow himself. He nodded immediately and said, "I understand." ”

After eating morning tea, Yi Zhifen went to the Yuanqi General and Guangzhou Branch to go around, and when he saw that there was nothing to do, he took a boat to Henan Island.

The river is as busy as ever, large and small ships are shuttling back and forth, Yi Zhizhi sat in the cabin and looked at the river view, but he was thinking in his heart, what could Qichang Foreign Bank provide him with, the British industrial revolution was recorded in the two crows. The war period is basically over, I don't know how much the Americans have learned?

He is now not short of silver, and he has Yuanqi Bank and Thirteen Lines behind him, it can be said that there is nothing he can't afford, as long as Qichang can provide it, he can eat, he is most worried about transportation, I don't know if there have been ocean-going ships in Europe, the capacity of sailing ships is really limited.

The boat sailed directly into the dock in the Wu family's garden, and Yi Zhixiang saw Wu Changqing coming in a hurry as soon as he got ashore, and couldn't help but smile: "Changqing cooks tea and entertains guests, why rush to greet him?" ”

Wu Changqing said with a smile: "I'm not here to welcome Brother Contentment, Grandpa invited the owners of the three Citibank stores in Guangzhou today, and I came to greet him." ”

As soon as he heard that three foreign companies had been invited, Yi Zhizhi knew that Wu Bingjian wanted to lower the price, and ordering 20 ocean-going ships at a time was not a small business, but this also played into his arms, and the order he wanted to place today was probably bigger than 20 seagoing ships.

The United States has three foreign companies in Guangzhou, Qichang Foreign Company, Olifin Foreign Company, and Werthmore Foreign Company, and Yi Zhixiang is most interested not in Qichang, but in Olifin, for the simple reason that Olifin Foreign Company does not smuggle crows. Piece, only do legitimate business.

Before the boat arrived, Wu Changqing was very gossipy: "Brother contentment saw the governor yesterday, did he win the lottery?" ”

"There are color heads, but I don't dare to ask for ......." Yi Zhixiang smiled and told the situation of entering the Governor's Mansion to see Deng Tingzhen yesterday.

However, a slightly larger square-headed boat slowly approached the dock, and Yi Zhishu turned his head to look, but saw several foreigners in ceremonial clothes coming out of the cabin, although the weather was hot, they were all dressed in ceremonial clothes - black jackets, white straight trousers, stand-up collar shirts, and upright bow ties, a total of six people came down, and they all looked very young.

Yi Zhifen couldn't help but muttered softly, "Why are you so young?" ”

Wu Changqing replied softly: "Which foreign businessman in Guangzhou is not young?" Two or three is normal, and forty years old is already rare. So saying, he went up to meet him.

"Welcome distinguished guests, in Xia Wu Changqing." Wu Changqing shook hands with everyone one by one with a smile, and the visitors also introduced themselves, and Yi Zhizhi secretly wrote down the names of several people on the side.

After greeting everyone, Wu Changqing introduced Yi Zhixin to everyone, and when he heard that Yi Zhixin was the big class of Yuanqi Bank, everyone was immediately enthusiastic, and he was in Guangzhou, although he was not free to move, but Yuanqi Bank unified Guangzhou Money Bank, such a big event, how could foreign businessmen not know the reason.

Yi Zhizu was very polite to greet everyone, and his pure English surprised and excited all foreign businessmen, even Wu Changqing was also very surprised, he always thought that Yi Zhizu could speak Cantonese English.

After greetings, everyone went to Wansong Garden, walking slowly all the way, and Yi Zhixiang asked very casually: "In which year did the construction of the railway in your country begin?" ”

Olifin, who was walking beside him, heard this and said in surprise: "Mr. Yi is interested in the railway? ”

"The territory of the Qing Dynasty is vast, shouldn't railways be developed?" Yi Zhizhi asked with a smile.

"No, it's not, Mr. Yi, don't get me wrong." Olifin hurriedly said: "Building a railway requires a huge investment. ”

"The greater the investment, the greater the benefit." Yi Zhifen said with a smile: "Yuanqi Bank has enough funds to invest in railway construction. ”

The conversation between the two has attracted everyone's idea. Green couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yi plans to build a railway in the Qing Dynasty?" A lot of steel was needed to build the railway, but the Qing Dynasty did not seem to have had a large steel plant. ”

"Didn't your country also start out without large steel mills?" Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "There are iron mines and coal in the Qing Dynasty, and a large steel plant can be built first." ”
