Maggie's joking words immediately stirred Lu Yongzhi's nerves. Yes, when will he not take advantage of such a big awesome person?

"Yuesheng, I like you very much. I intend to accept you as my adopted son. What do you think?"

Du Yuesheng was very disciplined and did not answer immediately, but looked at Achang. Achang was anxious: "Why are you stupid boy still standing there? This is really a blessing that fell from the sky. Why don't you kneel down and kowtow?"

Du Yuesheng quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times in a manner.

"Since you have accepted you as your adopted son, you should always have a meeting gift. What do you like?"

"Godfather, I don't need anything. I want to learn from my godfather and become a famous person in Shanghai."

Don’t be too famous in the future, okay? In the first half of the 20th century, no one can avoid you.

"Don't call me godfather in the future. Just think so in my heart. Just call me Mr. Lu like them. Achang, so do you in the future. This Colt revolver has always been my own belonging. I will give you a gift for you."

Later, Lu Yongzhi remembered that Du Yuesheng liked to call him Mr. Du the most in his life. This must be a coincidence, not my relationship!

After Achang and Du Yuesheng left, Maggie was still asking:

"You Chinese are so strange. This is the first time you saw Du today. Why did you immediately accept him as your godson as if you fell in love at first sight? You are not married by yourself."

"Didn't you say that, I miss my son." Lu Yongzhi looked at her belly maliciously as he said.

"What are you doing?" Maggie subconsciously covered her lower abdomen.

"I was wondering, should we give birth to a person who would follow me to become a Chinese citizen, or to be the little marquis of your British Empire? Why would we not bear fruit when we cultivate every day?"

Maggie immediately cried, "It seems that it's my problem."

"It's okay, keep working hard."

The two were chatting when the HSBC bank's concierge sent a letter and Richard asked him to have lunch.

"Hey, it's just right, I'm asking him for something."

When we arrived at the hotel, we saw Richard and Yuchang's shopkeeper Jiang were both there.

"It was Manager Jiang who wanted to find you. He didn't know how to contact you, so he found me." Richard explained.

"Mr. Lu, thanks to the last five thousand yuan, Yuchang finally recovered. Today I'm just treating you to dinner, nothing else."

"Haha, when I saw that you were both here, I wondered if Yuchang could not turn around again, right?"

"How could it be?" Manager Jiang smiled awkwardly.

"He doesn't have money now and he doesn't have to look for you. Our bank can take out a loan." Richard interrupted.

"Banks are like this, they are always icing on the cake. You will not help you in the timely manner."

"That's natural, it's not a popular saying now. Every pore of capital is bleeding and dirty." Richard completely ignored Lu Yongzhi's ridicule.

"Mr. Lu, that's right. Recently, a new textile machine was released. Several of our shareholders want to replace the machine. You are also a shareholder. Come and ask for your opinions."

"You mean the newly arrived British machines on the market? I suggest you wait. There will be a batch of German machines at the end of the year, which will be cheaper and better."

"real?"

Manager Jiang reminded Lu Yongzhi with one sentence, what is the most in short supply in the next ten years? Machines are first of all, machines that produce arms. Recruitment is being trained everywhere, and gun supply is in short supply, and they are planning to import machines that can produce guns and ammunition.

Later generations summarized history and remembered a very deep saying that China's modern industry began with the construction of guns and cannons.

Guangxi is poor, but there are many mines. To solve the problem of poverty in Guangxi, we can start by developing the arms industry. However, now there are Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and Hanyang Arsenal. If we want to persuade the governors, it is difficult for the governors to build a factory.

Anyway, it is feasible to let Maggie set up another foreign company, specializing in importing machines, and specialize in ordering various machines.

"In a while, you will give me the name, specifications, and quotation of the machine, and I'll help you compare it."

"Okay."

"I have something else to do with you," Richard spoke.

"I have something to ask you for trouble, let me tell you first?"

When Manager Jiang saw that the two had something to discuss, he hurriedly settled the bill and said goodbye first.

"Isn't the British Concession and the French Concession's Industrial Department recruiting China to arrest me? Please leave a few places for me, and I have a few people to go in."

In my memory, Du Yuesheng was apprenticed from a fruit shop and later became a disciple of Huang Jinrong, who was the Chinese leader. He directly stuffed Du Yuesheng into the work department and should not be considered a disruption of his trajectory.

"Oh, this is a trivial matter. Next time I will call the police chiefs of the two departments to meet each other. Just talk about such trivial matters."

"Also, please ask me where the foreign companies have the latest Colt pistols and get me a few."

"What are you doing? I usually see you keeping your gun away."

"It's great to give it to someone as a gift, I like this gun type."

"No problem. It's time to talk about me. A French friend of mine has just arrived in Shanghai. His family is not from a good family and wants to develop in Shanghai. He is still looking for a house. Don't you have two Shikumen houses on hand? Rent one for them, and the price should not be too high. Also, don't you want to find a French teacher? If you meet him, stay if you want to stay, which is a favor."

"No problem. Both houses are empty and have simple furniture inside. Take a set of them to live in, don't mention rent, I don't care about those little money. I'm learning French, as long as you understand grammar, you can ask them to get the key tomorrow, and I can meet the French teacher."

"OK, one word is certain."

After returning home, after dinner with Maggie and having a routine solo concert. Lu Yongzhi kept urging her to go upstairs, and Maggie asked with her eyes in her eyes: "What's the matter? Are you responding after drinking seafood soup tonight?"

"Where did I want to go? I thought of a project and I will talk to you about my ideas."

When the two went upstairs, Lu Yongzhi said the idea of ​​setting up a foreign company that he thought of while eating, and specialized in importing machines.

"This is too difficult! First of all, we don't understand machines. Besides, if you want to operate this, you have to have a working capital of at least one million yuan, right? Besides, if you do this several foreign companies, I heard that there are more people in Guangzhou."

"We put the money aside first, and we can tell whether we can find such people to get machines in European countries. It is best to get goods directly from the manufacturer."

"We want to find someone who can naturally recruit. I still think we have huge potential in real estate. As you said, every time you develop, we will mortgage it to the bank and then lend it to new projects. Soon, we will become a new generation of real estate tycoons in Shanghai."

"What is the purpose of making money? Of course, it is to use money to do more meaningful things. I am Chinese and I have to do my part to become stronger in my motherland."

"Oh, I thought you were a profit-oriented businessman, but I didn't expect that you still have a patriotic heart here."

"Where are you touching your hands? Is that the location of the heart?"
