Feel the breeze caressing your face, and the sun rises in the east. The winter sun shines all over the earth, making people feel warm and warm all over their bodies.

An ornate horse-drawn carriage drove into the wind, its wheels gliding over the flat concrete pavement, followed closely by eight bodyguards on horseback.

All eight of them had a bulge in their arms, and they were all obviously carrying muskets. And all of them have straight waists, and their eyes scan the surroundings like eagles, giving people the feeling of being soldiers, although they are not wearing military uniforms.

In front of the carriage was a gold-inlaid flagpole more than a foot long, with a red Vermilion Bird flag on it, which simply and straightforwardly identified the identity of the passenger in the carriage: he was a member of the royal family of Cai Guo.

Cai Guo, that is the feudal state of Chen Ming's eldest brother Cai Wang Chen Jie, and the location is on the Xiajiazhou Peninsula. There is also an enclave in Colombia. The latter was only circled by Chen Ming not long ago, because the situation on the Xiajiazhou Peninsula was really a bit unsatisfactory, Chen Ge cried poor several times, and Chen Ming was proud of him. The other younger brothers, when the original land area could not be expanded, also gained a small enclave, and it would be more worry-free to continue to expand the territory.

Chen Ming didn't want to be rumored to be his brother when he was old. Anyway, the territory added by these brothers is much, much worse than the vast Middle East and North America. To be clear, the Lighthouse Nation still exists.

The owner of this carriage is still a descendant of the Cai royal family, otherwise it would not be a gold-inlaid flagpole. You must know that Chen Han has strict regulations on etiquette in this regard, such as copper poles, silver poles, gold-inlaid flagpoles, gold poles, gold-inlaid jade poles, and jade poles.

The emperor is a jade pole, the prince is a gold inlaid jade pole, the kings are a gold pole, and the princes, princes and princes are all gold-inlaid flagpoles.

In other words, what is in this carriage is the son of King Cai and Chen Ming's nephew.

The person sitting in this carriage is named Chen Hong, the third son of Cai Wang Chen Jie, but since he went to college, he has not left the mainland much. He studied economics, and his greatest wish in life was not to be a king and a general, but to become a rich man, not daring to say that he was the richest man in China, but he also wanted to be the richest man in Cai. At least that's what he says on the surface.

He is now a member of the Chen Han Federation of Industry and Commerce, and a member of the Shanghai Advisory Bureau, and has been seeking the qualification of a member of the Senior Council.

Although there is an unspoken rule that it is not a local who can become a member of the Advisory Council, it is impossible to become a member of the Advisory Council. There is a limit to the number of members of the Senate in each provincial capital, and the number is very small, so how can outsiders get it?

However, as an insider, Chen Hong scoffed at this unspoken rule. Although this unspoken rule is common in the north, south, east and west of the country, is there such a provision in the law?

And as long as there are no clear provisions in the law, some unspoken rules, for a person like Chen Hong, who is tougher than iron, it is useless.

Now Chen Hong's life is very comfortable.

Gathering his thoughts, Chen Hong noticed that the carriage had slowed down, and when he looked forward, the parking lot next to the scheduled venue was already dark, and it was all the carriages of Shanghai businessmen who had arrived earlier than him, as well as the horses of their entourage. The security guard at the entrance of the parking lot subconsciously straightened up after seeing the gold-inlaid flagpole in front of the approaching luxury carriage.

It is said that Chen Hong does not necessarily take this carriage with a gold-inlaid flagpole when he goes out on weekdays, and he only takes one when he sees important guests or participates in important gatherings.

Chen Hong came out today because he had an important ceremony to attend, and Chen Hong wanted to attend the opening ceremony of a securities trading company. It is not uncommon for a securities trading company to be in Shanghai 20 years ago, but now the company's background is deep, and Chen Hong and many other leading figures in Shanghai's business and political circles are going to attend.

Shanghai is a local financial center recognized by successive cabinets and one of the world's financial centers. London in the West, Shanghai in the East.

Guangzhou, on the other hand, is like Paris, and no one will deny their strength, but financially they are clearly weaker than Shanghai and London. There is no doubt that in terms of finance, Shanghai is China's No.1.

Chen Hong invested in a copper mine in Luzon last year, and copper ingots have always been a much-needed material in China, and as long as they can dig up copper mines worth smelting, it is only natural to make money. But this also requires gambling, because today's science and technology are limited, and there is a lot of risk in exploring reserves, and investing in minerals is tantamount to gambling.

And if you invest in a copper mine and do not build a copper smelter, it is a great waste, Chen Hong has money in his hands, but a copper mining company also needs to be equipped with ore selection field, coal preparation field, ship transportation, etc., without forming a chain model, it can not maximize profits.

In this way, the investment is too huge, and Chen Hong can't use all the money to gamble this time. Although these investments can be put in place little by little, Chen Hong is a little more refined, but it is not that he can't support this stall. But gambling is risky, and a successful businessman always needs to avoid risks as much as possible, so he needs to raise shares.

Chen Hong has a good relationship with the backstage boss of the securities trading company, and if he can, he hopes that the copper mining company under his command can be matched by this securities trading company.

Chen Hong was really deeply attracted by the continuous rise of copper ore in recent years. Although he knew that the reason why the price of copper kept rising was because of the war, and Chen Han could not fight the war all the time, which means that the prospects of the copper industry were very uncertain. But Chen Hong firmly believes that even if there is no war, the price of this copper will not be much lower.

Don't ask him why he's so determined, he won't tell outsiders. The real good news only needs to be in your heart, telling outsiders that it is to leak state secrets. The news of the breech gun and the copper-cased bullet was a secret at the highest level of Chen Ming.

If Chen Hong had told outsiders, he would have gone to prison himself.

Chen Han invented the breech gun early, but it was limited by metallurgical technology, and the toughness of the felting needles and springs produced was not up to par, so that he could never get out of the test field and go to the battlefield.

But decades have passed, and Chen Han's researchers have not been in vain. After repeated failures and explorations, they finally produced qualified steel, qualified needle-punches and springs, and naturally, the needle-punched breech gun was officially finalized.

The bullets needed for breech guns are no longer lead bullets like breech guns, but copper-shell bullets, which can play a role with primer and detonator - shooting speed and shooting accuracy, have been qualitatively improved.

There are many business opportunities in this, Chen Hong weighed his own weight, he didn't touch the too hot industry, but went to Luzon to fish for copper.

Chen Han already has a good quality steel, but steel, its expansion coefficient is smaller than copper, and the ductility is poor, after the shot, the propellant explodes, and the back to the cartridge case produces a force, and the eggshell needs to be limited with the cooperation of the gun chamber, so that it is concentrated in the barrel, and it cannot be limited that is the explosion of the chamber.

Because of the force of the explosion, the cartridge case expands and deforms, while the copper cartridge case can be smoothly withdrawn from the chamber because of the soft material, while the iron cartridge case has poor ductility and will be tightly attached to the chamber, which is prone to poor casing and even damage the bottom edge of the cartridge case. Therefore, in order to ensure that the cartridge casings can be extracted smoothly, copper is a necessity for war.

The rabbit in the previous life was limited to limited domestic copper reserves, and the number of copper production was not enough, coupled with the hard military spending, the rabbit's army could only use steel shells. Therefore, the outer taper of the rabbit's shell is much larger than that of the copper shell, so that the shell can be pumped with a small force, and the rabbit must use a layer of metallic paint on the outside of the steel shell to prevent moisture and rust......

But now Chen Han doesn't need to be as hard as a rabbit, Luzon's copper mines are famous, and now Luzon is China. Of course, it wouldn't be to think about delving into steel shells.

Copper is a very good self-lubricating material, even if it is not used as a gun cartridge case, it has other functions. Chen Hong's gamble was not on the future price of copper, but on the reserves of the copper mine he bought.

A few days ago, Chen Hong just got the report for the first three months of the start of the copper mine, and the market was very good, which gave Chen Hong more or less confidence.

The copper smelter has entered the later stage of construction, as well as the formation of coal reserves and transportation departments, all of which are borne by Chen Hong, and the pressure on him is not small. It is bent on liquidating the shares of the copper mining company to solve its own financial pressure problem.

Chen Hong also leaked the news that he was going to realize the shares of the copper mining company before, but unfortunately, his copper mining company entered the industry too late. If it had been two years earlier, it would have really made a fortune. And now, few people think that the war will continue for another three or two years.

Chen Hong's copper mining company, when a series of supporting facilities are all ready, it will be almost next year's New Year. How many days can we have? It is better to invest in such a new copper mining company with the integration of ore smelting than to directly invest in the old copper industry company.

The friends that Chen Hong comes into contact with every day are not low-level. I didn't need to accompany Ben to slap him, so I didn't sell a penny after going around for a while. However, the securities trading company is different, and the latter can reach a hundred times or a thousand times the number of friends in Chen Hong's circle, and the level is different, and even 99.9 percent of the people are not as high as Chen Hong's circle. There are some nimble people who want to be bothered.

Chen Hong won't talk about levels this time, he is now the number one in money. No matter what the businessman of the province is, no matter what he has done before, as long as he is willing to pay money, he can become a shareholder of his copper mining company, and enjoy real shareholder rights.

You must know that many people only pay for dividends in order to tie up the people above, and they can't touch half of the company's power, and even when the dividends are wrong, they don't say a word.

Chen Hong can be said to be really in a hurry this time.

But he also has his own calculations in mind, according to estimates, if the share expansion is completed, the copper mining company can bring him at least 2 million cash, which is still a conservative estimate. If done well, three million cash is not a problem. And if you get the three million cash, you can solve his urgent need.

Of course, this can't be said that Chen Hong is cheating people, he just wants to sell the company in his hand at a good price.

After all, a new era is coming. His kinship with this royal family has taken another step, and the aura of privilege on this body has weakened.

Before, it could be said that he was the emperor's nephew, but now? The Emperor's cousin?

As the saying goes, a table is three thousand miles. This is sandwiched with the word 'Tang', which is not too close. Especially in the royal family, and it is unlikely that he will inherit the throne of his father, this is even less important.

Chen Hong needs to think about his future. Maybe one day, he will have nothing left but money and his identity.

After all, he is not yet thirty years old this year, and the new emperor will be almost fifty years old in the near future, and his sons are older than Chen Hong. It is very clear who dies first and who dies later between the two of them, and when the son of the new emperor succeeds to the throne, his cousin/clan uncle is still a fart.

Chen Hong has never felt that the current emperor has a deep brotherhood with his father. The difference between the two is so big, both are the age of the father and the son, and they are not from the same mother, born in the royal family, and there is a fart brotherhood.

Chen Hong is thinking about the arrival of the New Year, and he is also slowly thinking about his future. He was ready to rush to Nanjing as soon as he realized the shares, but it was not yet Layue, and he still had time.

In fact, there are many children of the royal family of the feudal clan who are working hard in the local area like Chen Hong. After all, the Eastern monarch, unless he is not in good health, or has a hidden illness and wants to play, it is impossible to have only one or two children.

The best example is Liu Laosan. Liu Bang only had three children before he became the emperor, the eldest son Liu Fei, the second son Liu Ying, and the eldest daughter Princess Lu Yuan, who did not leave a name. There are no more heirs than in the 21st century, after all, Liu Fei was not born by Lu Pheasant. But what about him after he sat on the king of Han?

Liu Ruyi, Liu Heng, Liu Hui, Liu You, Liu Chang, Liu Jian, the child jumped out in an uproar.

The same goes for Li Yuan.

This man is in good health, as long as he has more wives and more uproar, he will always play with his life.

Chen Hong has more than ten children of his father, he is not a political genius, a military wizard, Cai Guo has more than one of him, and he has a lot of less, Chen Hong came to China to eat and drink, and his father has no opinion at all. And there are more Chen clan people like this.

These people are also mixed with good and bad, Chen Hong is already good, at least the business is up. Some of them are mixed up and some of them are poor, and they will not be able to blend in with the missions of the vassal states. Chen Hong can get in, Cai Guo is one of the places in the delegation to observe the ceremony this time, and he is also a deputy envoy. But no matter whether it is good or bad, it will definitely rush to Nanjing before the New Year.

"Boom Boom ......"

Outside the venue, the sound of firecrackers crackled.

Chen Hong also returned to his position and stopped greeting people. The opening ceremony of this securities exchange company is about to begin. Although the big boss in the background did not come out in person, this is not the place where Chen Hong dominates.

When Chen Ming was speaking as the general manager of the company, he looked east and west and had a general understanding of the number and weight of the guests present today. There are really a lot of people, and many people who didn't have a big relationship with the backstage boss before, or who have a weak relationship, are all present in person.

Chen Hong tasted the product in his heart, and he didn't have any eyes. After all, this is a securities trading company, and now Shanghai is already the financial center of China, and it is very normal to set up a securities trading company in such a place, and it is very normal to go bankrupt, but it is also normal to make money.

In Shanghai, there are securities trading companies that fail every month, and new securities companies open every month. There is no way, people's eyes are fixed on interests. Although the risk of a securities trading company is large enough, it is really profitable.
