Chapter 437: Friends as Enemies
In the evening, Su Hanzhi knocked on Zou Xiurong's door, and the two talked for several hours until late at night before returning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The second brother came back here, but he didn't actually come to find the second sister-in-law, what exactly did he do, he refused to say, only said that he was here to do one thing, but he just met on the road. Then the two talked, and the second brother did not have the slightest meaning of compounding in his words, but persuaded the second sister-in-law not to stick to the ancient law, and if she met the right one, she should find her own happiness. He also said that he was going to get married, and he would give his second sister-in-law a poster when the time came. You know the temperament of the second sister-in-law, as soon as she heard this, where did she suffer, she splashed the second brother with wine and left, this time, even we are not good at talking. ”
Zhao Guanhou increased the amount with his hand, "I have never seen such a stupid person, I really don't know how he has done business all these years, why can't he even tell a lie." No, I have to talk to him, like him, sooner or later the second sister-in-law will have to remarry, how do you say I am a friend. ”
"Other people's family affairs, how can we be too deeply involved, and besides, the second sister-in-law has no intention of remarrying now, and I will talk about it when I have a while." Su Hanzhi smiled and said, "My Guanhou is good at lying, tell me, how many times have you lied to me?" ”
"The conscience of heaven and earth, I didn't lie to my sister this time, I really gave her a voluntary ......"
"I know, I've done my homework for so long, I've persuaded her so many times, and these things have happened, if she doesn't volunteer anymore, this person will be completely fated. But you, you really have to learn to deceive people, go to Chen's house tomorrow, and deceive the old lady of the Chen family, people will hand over the girl to you, you have to reassure people. There are also the two sons of the Chen family, both of whom are young masters, you have to bear with them a little, don't turn your face with them. ”
"Understand, isn't it acting, I'm good at this."
The Chen family has already lived back in the villa, and the health of Chen Yunqing and his wife has also improved, and they have been discharged from the hospital and returned home. Zhao Guanhou and Chen Lenghe went back to see their father-in-law and mother-in-law in the form of husband and wife.
The gift was sent on the first day, and two carriages were pulled, and the aunt's wife did this, and her face could be said to be the end. When Chen Lenghe got out of the carriage, she saw her parents, brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law all at the door, and the servants of the family all came back.
My father's spirit is much better than in the hospital, and even the second sister-in-law no longer yells at the second brother, but takes the initiative to come forward to say hello. As long as they can be happy, it doesn't matter to themselves.
Zhao Guanhou's hand grabbed her arm, and she also leaned her head on her shoulder, looking like a husband and wife. Seeing this scene, the Chen family and his wife were the first to breathe, pulling their daughter to look at it, and Mrs. Chen said, "Xiaonan, how are you doing...... You...... You seem to have lost weight. ”
"Nonsense, how can she be thin, your old eyes are dizzy, and you can't see clearly. Let's go to the room and say. Chen Yunqing counted his wife down, and at the same time looked at his daughter with pity, of course he knew that he could be released, what was the reason for the villa to be returned, and he was also deeply worried about his daughter's situation. Seeing the situation of the two of them, my heart was always slightly relaxed.
When he arrived in the living room, Lu was busy bringing fruit and tea, running fast, and quietly unbuttoned the buckle around his neck. Leng He stopped her, "Second sister-in-law, it's good to let the subordinates do this kind of work, don't let you be busy." ”
"Then how can you do it, people are dignified governors and court officials, how can you let your subordinates do it, it's not enough for your identity...... Third Miss, how is he doing to you...... That, can you talk to the third brother-in-law and give my eldest brother a way. He didn't mean to fail to pay his debts, but he didn't have a good turnover...... Those who collect debts, let Boss Shen say a word. ”
In the living room, the two sons-in-law of the Chen family also changed from hiding from the plague to caring people, talking with them, but the two brothers of the Chen family kept their faces calm and did not say a word. Chen Yunqing simply didn't look at them, only looked at Zhao Guanhou.
"Lord Zhao...... I've already read that report of yours. Eight million taels of silver to save the city, this is really a big deal, since the old memory, I don't remember that the imperial court once took out so much money to save the people of Limin. Even if it is a flood or drought, the imperial court will not use so much to allocate relief. Most of them are still local apportionments, and there are not many kind-hearted young people like you. ”
"Father-in-law, don't be so polite, what is your name Lord Zhao, I thought it was someone else's house. Just call me by name. This money is the credit of Leng He, she advised me to do more good deeds, and I listened to her. Benevolence halls and banks must be opened. Your old man also has to suffer a little, and the maintenance of the good hall, leaving a respected person like you and handing it over to others, the son-in-law is not at ease. ”
Chen Yunqing smiled bitterly twice, "Thank you, Zhao...... Guanhou, you look up to me, but I feel powerless. When the time comes, you can only be a nominal steward, and you will have to send the person who really does things. ”
He is an old Jianghu, very experienced in doing things, and knows that Zilai Shantang has the most tricks, especially such a large number, and it is easiest to be confused. At that time, it is a matter of unclear who is wrong with the flower account, and he will not be able to make a name for himself as a good stick. It is to show that he is unwilling to take power, only willing to do things, and he does not want to rely on this in-law relationship to interfere too much.
Seeing this old shrewdness, Zhao Guanhou no longer insisted on it, but just talked about the structure and measures of Shantang, and mentioned the bank's affairs. Although Chen Lenghe is the chairman of Women's Bank, Chen Yunqing is a special director of the company and has the right to supervise the operation of the bank, and also plays a helm role.
Chen Yunqing knew that after this incident, his energy and thinking were not as good as before, and running such a modern bank was beyond his ability. I just put forward some guidance on business based on my many years of business experience, and think of some ways to deal with the market in Songjiang.
The biggest problem of Zhengyuan Qianzhuang at the moment is actually those Sichuan robe brothers. This cadre is now suppressed by the forces of the patrol and the Cao Gang, and he does not dare to act rashly, which does not mean that the matter has really passed. In particular, Huang Kun's killing all the way to the mountain hall also made the robe brother quite dissatisfied.
In the short term, Brother Pao has nothing to do, but as time goes by, there will inevitably be some problems, and he still has to find a way to solve the problem.
More than three million silver will definitely not be compensated, but a proper part of the compensation, at least to buy peace, is also necessary. Chen Yunqing is still familiar with several more famous leading uncles in the robe, and they can discuss with each other, but they can't think about how to negotiate. Zhao Guanhou said:
"The son-in-law controls the Mikura arms, some of which are to be sold, but if the robes want it, I can give them some guns and ammunition. The loss of these people's road money, the next thing must be to make trouble with the court, there must be guns to make trouble, it is inconvenient to buy weapons in Sichuan, these guns and bullets can solve their big problems, I am not a small help, right. ”
"If there are guns and ammunition, things are really easy to talk about. I'll invite their people to talk to me another day, and I always have to come up with a solution, otherwise they will make trouble and our bank won't be able to open. ”
Weng and his son-in-law kept talking about the time of the meal, and Chen Yunqing was more satisfied with this son-in-law than the other two sons-in-law, feeling that he had brains and means, like a person with great achievements. The only regret is that his daughter is small after all, and I am afraid that she will suffer in the future.
The two sons-in-law were originally sons of a wealthy family, but this time both families suffered the collapse of Yishanyuan, suffered heavy losses, and were on the verge of bankruptcy. are all flattering Zhao Guanhou, hoping that this brother-in-law can help and solve the dilemma of the two families. This banquet was eaten as if Zhao Guanhou was the host and the others were guests.
In the inner house, Mrs. Chen hugged her daughter and cried several times, constantly saying, "Xiaonan, your life is so bitter, how come you still haven't escaped in the end......"
Chen Lenghe held back his tears, tried to pretend to be a smile and said, "Mom, what are you talking about, I volunteered." Besides, we said okay, I will be his wife in Songjiang, and I usually live in Songjiang, and I can always meet you, which is much better than marrying in Shandong. I wasn't used to eating noodles, I was only used to eating rice, and he promised me not to let me move the place. When the time comes, we will still be a family, how good do you think? ”
"Child's words, it's just child's words. If you are married, how can you still be the same as when you were not married, Mrs. Matsue, if you always think like this, you will have to suffer a lot in the future. Mrs. is Mrs., Mrs. Aunt is Mrs. Aunt, Mom knows that you are wronged, but you are already a member of other people, so you have to accept your fate. ”
"Mom, I'm not wronged, he and I are like partners and friends, and he won't bully me, I'm very happy. He also helped me set up a bank and realized my biggest ideal, and I really didn't feel wronged at all about this family business. Before, I was not good, I made trouble with my family, and I caused you and my father to be admitted to the hospital, and I will definitely not be in the future. I'll take care of myself and never let you worry about it again. ”
"I'm talking nonsense again, a husband is a husband, what kind of partner and friend, you can't look like this. Listen to your mother, hurry up and have a baby, take care of the child at home, and don't think about what Mrs. Matsue will do. In that case, sooner or later, you will be the one who suffers. Leave the bank's business to someone else, and you can stay with him with peace of mind. With him, you have a bank, and if your heart is cold in the future, you will not be able to keep this bank. ”
Mother and sister bombarded in turn, teaching the truth of three obedience and four virtues, Chen Lenghe nodded with a smile and agreed, making a good girl. In the past, she would have found these words very nagging and annoying, but now, she feels that this is the case among family members.
That night, the husband and wife stayed at their mother's house, but they lived in separate rooms. Chen Lenghe lives with two older sisters, and the three sisters talk about their childhood experiences and laugh from time to time.
As she spoke, the eldest sister suddenly cried quietly, and when Leng He asked, she said: "Your eldest brother-in-law's family has failed, and after your father-in-law died, the family has no source, and she is all counting on the interest on the abundant savings to support the family." Now that they have eaten the bill, the family doesn't know how to live. If the third sister is still ...... Naturally, I didn't have anything to say when I was not married, but now I am also married, can I tell your husband a word to protect your brother-in-law with a future? He is in Shandong, it is easy to arrange a seat for him, you just beg him, okay? ”
"Yes, Leng He, people say that Shandong is full of gold, and he is willing to take eight million to save the city, which proves that he must be very rich. I heard that he and that Jensen are not innocent, and they talked to foreigners, has your second brother-in-law done a foreign business, can you help him and build a way for him......"
On this night, in a small villa on Xiafei Road in the Capet Concession, the lights were bright. In the room, there are dozens of spears, and there are sub-medicines next to them. On the other side, there were hundreds of iron cans and boxes of gunpowder.
If Chen Lenghe was here, he would definitely roar and rush at one of the men, ask him for justice, and ask him why he sold himself to those people in Huile. David Li regained his spirits, waved his arms, and introduced to Meng Siyuan:
"That's what we've prepared, sixty guns, and fried eggs. Although it has not been assembled yet, we can assemble them all in one night if we need to. ”
Meng Siyuan looked at the rifle, and then at the fried eggs, "With 50,000 taels of funds, only these foreign guns were purchased?" I still feel that there is no way to explain it to my superiors. ”
Of course, David Li couldn't say that most of the funds were lost by his father's stock speculation, so he had to explain: "Now foreigners are restricting arms imports, and it is difficult to buy weapons, not only do they have to pay high prices, but they also have to act as middlemen." Besides, you know about the explosion of the Yankee steamer, right? The patrol and raid of the concession was so great that when everyone moved to the Capet concession, they were almost caught, so the loss of funds was very large. But don't worry, Mr. Meng, as long as we lay down Songjiang, we can solve the funding problem immediately. ”
"No, no, I'm not worried about my money, I'm worried, with this bit of weaponry, how can we take down Songjiang and occupy the Manufacturing Bureau."
David Li smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Meng, although we have few weapons, as long as we win the hearts and minds of the people, we will definitely win." The reason why there is no big chaos in Songjiang City now is because of the news that Shandong Zhengyuan Bank is going to be established, and the smoke bomb of 8 million taels of charity funds, makes the people think that the imperial court will still save the city, so they will not rebel. But in my opinion, there will definitely not be eight million taels of silver to come out to save the market. The principals are exploiting layer by layer, coupled with the demands of the powerful in the capital, and what can really be implemented may not even be three million. ”
"If we squeeze the banks down, people will lose hope. At that time, as long as it is properly guided, the people will understand that this rotten court is a shackle that binds people. If you want to be free, you can only live like a human being by smashing the shackles and fighting bravely. In addition, once Songjiang is recovered, we can use Songjiang's salary to recover the entire southeast, and with the wealth of the southeast, the current crisis will be solved. In fact, there is no financial crisis that cannot be solved by one war, and if there is, two. ”
Meng Siyuan nodded and said: "If Mr. David is sure, then it would be the best, and I will help with the matter of Shandong Zhengyuan Bank." This time, I brought 40,000 yuan to do this. However, the strength of our Shandong Huaxing Association is very small, and in Songjiang, we still have to rely on the help of our colleagues in the Songjiang branch. ”
"It's incumbent! Although our operation failed in Guangzhou, in Songjiang we must succeed. Without relying on the selection of the front, not relying on the death squad, only relying on these angry people, we will plant the eighteen-star flag on the Yamen of Songjiang Daotai. In the business group, we also have our own colleagues, as long as we win the manufacturing bureau, there will be more people to support us, the first righteous work, we must take it. ”
Looking at the dark night outside, thinking of today's reunion with his wife, Meng Siyuan secretly shook his head, beloved wife and virtuous brother, I'm sorry. For the sake of everyone, we can only give up the small family, and for the sake of the great righteousness, we can only give up the small righteousness. You may hate me today, but in the future, when a truly beautiful country is built, you will understand my hardships and give me a fair evaluation. (To be continued.) )
