Chapter 28 Eight Hutongs

Because of the flight team, people from the Beiyang government finally came, and this time it was Wang Maoru's old acquaintance, Yan Fuyan, the former president of Peking University and one of Yuan Shikai's current staff. The arrival of old acquaintances also made Wang Maoru very happy, but Yan Fu looked a little fatter this year, and when he asked, he learned that Yan Fu quit smoking because of the attack of the party, and his body recovered very well. Wang Maoru took him to Bada Hutong to drink, Yan Fu said that it was better to call Shanggong Zang Pingliang, Wang Maoru said that the Japanese would definitely not come here to play, it was better to just the two of us. Yan Fu said that I will introduce you to a few people, one is Yong Jianqiu of Jebsen & Co., who is the general agent of the German Erhard Arsenal in China, and the other is Ye Gongsheng, the younger brother of Ye Gongxuan, director of the Highway Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Communications.

The most famous in Beijing City, not the Beiyang government, but the eight alleys, every night, the eight alleys are brightly lit, these eight alleys are Baishun Hutong, Rouge Hutong, Hanjiatan, Shaanxi Lane, Stone Hutong, Wang Guangfu Xiejie, Zhujia Hutong, Li Shamao Hutong, Beijing City Fengyue Field is a lot, but no matter from the grade, from the scale, are not as good as these eight alleys. Whether it is a Beiyang official, a Kuomintang official, or even a Progressive Party official, as long as it gets off work as soon as it gets dark, he will run into the Bada Hutong and will not go home until dawn.

Therefore, it can be said that the Bada Hutong was the center of Beijing's political power at that time, and many insider trading also took place here, and national affairs were discussed in the kiln hall, which was also a great spectacle of the Republic of China.

In Shuchun Building, a few people ordered wine and food, listened to a small song with a little wine, the artists played the pipa or played the flower drum, or sang or danced, and the women sitting next to them also toasted and laughed, Wang Maoru was able to let go, but the secretary Zhao Jiacheng next to him was a little cramped. Over there, Yan Fu also asked a girl to feed him wine indecently, and it seemed that when he arrived here, all of the man's disguises were removed.

After listening to the song, Yan Fucai said: "Xiusheng is no longer a professor now, but a businessman, but he is very successful." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Yan, if you do business with me, you can also make a small fortune." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

Yong Jianqiu said: "Mr. Xiusheng has made a little fortune, now your foreign lamp factory and match factory have almost monopolized the business in North China, and you don't know how many people envy you." None of the foreign lamps of our foreign company can be sold now, all because of your Huaxing oil lamps, haha, our foreign companies have been defeated, and Mr. Xiusheng has to drink a glass of wine with me today to make amends. ”

"Well said, well said." Wang Maoru took the wine cup and toasted a glass, and after the two drank it, they said with a smile: "I don't care about these things, my subordinates are busy, and the two managers are very capable." ”

Ye Gongsheng on the side laughed and said: "Mr. Xiusheng is modest, this businessman in North China doesn't know your name, and the two managers have to listen to your orders no matter how capable they are." No matter how powerful this wolf dog is, it is also a dog breeder. ”

Wang Maoru shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said in his heart What kind of metaphor are you, if Ma Xiaoshui and Cui Zhou hear this, they will resign angrily, it seems that this Ye Gongsheng is a straw bag.

Ye Gongsheng said again: "I heard the eldest brother and Mr. Yansun chat, saying that Mr. Xiusheng is not only good at learning, but also very good at doing business and making a fortune. If you have a chance in the future, you can bring your little brother with you. ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "That's nature, that's nature." ”

Ye Gong said: "This weekend, on Sunday night, the eldest brother's house held a dance party, and Mr. Xiusheng was invited to come. As he spoke, he took out two invitations, and the red cardboard was written in gilded letters, "Invitation, Ye", which was the invitation to Ye Gongxuan's cocktail party. To get this invitation letter can be regarded as a corner of the face in Beijing.

Wang Maoru nodded, and while the secretary Zhao Jiacheng accepted the invitation, he said: "I will definitely go, bother, bother." ”

"By the way, Mr. Xiusheng opened an aircraft factory?" Ye Gongsheng asked.

When the meat drama came, Wang Mao Ruxin said, I didn't think about my aircraft factory, but I invested 200,000 US dollars in the aircraft factory, how could you take it away if you said a word? But with a smile on his face, he looked very vain, and said: "Small industry, not surprising, not surprising, compared with your bigwigs in the transportation department, my aircraft factory is just a toy." ”

Yong Jianqiu interjected: "How can an airplane be a toy, this is a matter of raising the prestige of our country, the president has personally inquired, I see that Mr. Xiusheng's flying is just around the corner, here I congratulate Mr. Xiusheng first." ”

Wang Maoru hurriedly said: "Where is it, I don't have that blessing in this flying yellow and Tengda, but looking at the fact that there are planes abroad, my country does not, but we are full of talents in the land of China." ”

"What do you think of Mr. Xiusheng's invitation to the president?" Yan Fu was Yuan Shikai's staff, so he naturally cared about this issue, and because he had a good relationship with Wang Maoru, he was sent to win him over.

Wang Maoru thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Naturally it's a good idea, I hope to serve the country, but this name is not right, it's really ......."

"Xiusheng only needs to be committed to the government, as for the righteousness, I will naturally help you." Yan Fu said with a smile.

"That's tired, and I'm tired of you, Mr. Yan." Wang Maoru said.

A few people talked about it here, and they talked about the content, but they didn't go deeper. The next day, Yan Fu came to Wang Maoru's house again and said: "The Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of War are fighting for your flying team. ”

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Is it the Ministry of Communications or the War Department?" ”

"It's the president." Yan Fu said with a smile.

Wang Maoru asked: "Is the president set in his heart?" ”

Yan Fu replied: "The president means to arrange one for you, the position of flight captain." However, the War Department and the Department of Transportation did not agree that the president should always take into account the wishes of his subordinates. ”

"I guess it's mostly the Ministry of Transportation winning." Wang Maoru said with a smile.

Yan Fu smiled: "Xiusheng and I have the same idea, but this matter will not be known until a few days later, let them earn it." After the two laughed, they went to Bada Hutong to listen to a small song, waiting for the wisher to take the bait. A few days later, the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of the Army finally came to a conclusion, and Yan Fu ran to report the news: "The president has set up a Republic of China flight team subordinate to the central government, which belongs to the Department of Communications, called the Flight Section of the Ministry of Communications, and the section chief candidate is Liang Maokun. You are the captain of the Flying Group, also registered with the War Department, with the rank of lieutenant. Good guys, as soon as you enlist in the army, you get the rank of lieutenant. ”

"Who is Liang Maokun?" Wang Maoru asked.

"This kid is the nephew of Liang Caishen." Yan Fu explained, "I am younger than you, and I am in the second position in the circle of sons and brothers in Beijing. ”

Wang Maoru was interested, "What do you say?" ”
