Chapter 90 Everyone goes his own way (10)

At Wuchang Pier, a cargo ship flying the German flag slowly docked. The British blocked Wusongkou and the waterway from Shanghai to Nanjing. Only foreign cargo ships could pass. The Nanjing Provisional Government was affected, and it was difficult to get the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway back.

The first people to get off the ship were Gu Heng and Douglas. Douglas, who had just returned to Shanghai from the United States, couldn't wait to arrive in Wuchang. There was already a car waiting at the pier, and the person who came to greet them was Adjutant Duan Feng.

"How are you doing, boss?" Gu Heng asked, Duan Feng smiled and said, "The commander is very good. I went to Hankou for something unexpectedly. I'll be back in the evening."

The fire scene in Hankou was basically cleaned up. On a large stage, a row of prisoners were being escorted and kneeling on the ground. There was a sea of ​​people under the stage. The people in Hankou were in a good mood today. Marshal Fang publicly tried the corrupt criminals during the Hankou relief work.

There were five people in total, including local officials from Hankou and local gentry. They embezzled supplies and rice worth more than two thousand oceans by passing off inferior goods and distributing less relief.

Although Li Ziyun was not very willing, he still stood on the stage, read out the crimes of these five people, and pronounced the sentences to be executed immediately. After such a situation, Li Ziyun could only stand on Marshal Fang's boat and help each other in the same boat, otherwise the enemy would

There are many, so be careful when walking in the middle of the night.

The people are always very enthusiastic about watching the excitement, and it is also a murderous excitement, and it is even more crowded.

In the eyes of the people of Hankou, Commander Fang is a good person. The previous Beiyang Army was all scum, and the original Governor was also a good guy. Well, it is best that Commander Fang not leave. Most of the people are like this

Thought.

At the sound of gunshots, five people fell down, with blood holes as big as small bowls on their chests. The 79 rifles were fired at close range, and the possibility of surviving was very small.

Just before dark, Jianxiong crossed the river to Wuchang. Gu Heng, who met in advance at the headquarters, did not inform Douglas. Gu Heng's trip brought great good news. Since the revolution, Gu Heng was ordered to prepare for the establishment of the Bank of China.

One thing. Fang Jianxiong set up a mint in Anqing.

The instruments were all imported from Germany. Gu Heng came here to deliver samples and report work. The name of the Bank of China was changed from the Bank of the Qing Dynasty after the Republic of China. Fang Jianxiong had ulterior motives. He felt that the name of the bank should be representative.

So I grabbed the name of this bank first.

They hadn't seen each other for some days. Gu Heng was a little excited to see Fang Jianxiong. He cupped his hands from afar and said, "Hello, young master!"

"How is the matter going?" Fang Jianxiong asked directly about business. Gu Heng took out a stack of silver coins from his pocket and handed it over: "Look, this is a sample. The Anqing Mint made a total of two million silver coins.

It’s stamped with German machines.”

Fang Jianxiong took a silver dollar and looked at it carefully. On the front was 1 Yuan in Arabic numerals and the Great Wall pattern, and on the back was a lifelike dragon. One Yuan in capital letters. On both sides, there were the words "Bank of China". There were also words on the front edge.

Kuping silver seven cents and two cents in small print.

"That's right. Well done. This is the most profitable thing in the world. If this dragon seal is good, this money will be called Long Yang from now on." Fang Jian was full of ambition. He took the first step to print his own money.

Gu Hengdao: "Copper yuan is the main source of profit. There are also a large number of 50, 20 and 10 yuan copper yuan in Anqing, with a currency value of 5 million yuan. In my opinion, silver yuan is a symbol of credibility."

"Okay, okay. The Bank of China will fully open in the two provinces as soon as possible. You can take care of this matter for the time being, and I will hand it over after I find the right person." Fang Jianxiong said this not because he did not trust Gu Heng, but because he was in Gu Heng's hands.

There are too many things to do.

Mentioning this, Gu Heng smiled slightly and said: "Shaodong, I have brought a suitable person. This person is the manager of the Shanghai branch of Daqing Bank. Chen Qimei sent troops to force him to raise funds for the Northern Expedition. Song Hanzhang could no longer stay in Shanghai, so he asked someone to help him.

I found Eurasia Department Store. Then I quietly went to Wuhu. This time I came and brought him with me."

Fang Jianxiong didn't know who Song Hanzhang was, but since it was recommended by Gu Heng, he was naturally worthy of trust. Gu Heng told the story of the relationship between the two. It started with the contact during the operation of Eurasian Department Store, and Song Hanzhang took the initiative to contact him.

Gu Heng. The two of them get along pretty well.

But for business, Eurasia Department Store has always been with Miller Bank, and Song Hanzhang just wanted to make friends. Gu Heng was quite interesting, and took care of some small business for Song Hanzhang, with the purpose of being optimistic about this person's talents. Fang Jianxiong has no shortage of people under his command for the time being.

Military talents are available, but financial and management talents are lacking.

Song Hanzhang fled Shanghai. On the surface, it seemed that he was being persecuted by Chen Qimei, but in fact it was because of Fang Jianxiong. Chen Qimei wanted to send someone to the gods, but Fang Jianxiong opened his mouth and extorted 1.5 million silver dollars. Before purchasing arms, Chen Qimei was squeezed out of her family fortune.

7788. In a hurry, Chen Qimei came to the door in person.

Ask Song Hanzhang to borrow money. The word "borrow" is used casually. If you expect Chen Qimei to repay the money, you are dreaming. If it was thirty-five thousand, Song Hanzhang would hold his nose and admit it. Chen Qimei said it was two million silver dollars.

, where would Song Hanzhang be willing to do this? Although there is some silver deposits in the Bank of Qing Dynasty, it is also a state-owned asset, isn't it?

In a rage, Chen Qimei kidnapped Song Hanzhang, locked him up and demanded money. He threatened to redeem him with two million silver dollars!

The Song family scraped together and gave Fang Jianxiong 500,000 yuan, but Chen Qimei refused to give up. This amount of money was not enough to give Fang Jianxiong. Later, it was Wu Tingfang who came forward to guarantee that Chen Qimei was released. (Note: There is indeed such a thing in history.

The incident only happened later, when Chen Qimei demanded 500,000 taels of silver and forced the Song and Northern

The foreign government severed ties with the foreign government. A little advance here, the story needs it.) Even after he was released, Song Hanzhang still felt uneasy hiding in the concession. Thinking that he still had a friend like Gu Heng, he prepared to send his family to Wuhu to settle down. That place was

Chen Qimei wouldn't dare to cause trouble in Fang Jianxiong's territory even if he had ten thousand courages.

Originally, Song Hanzhang had the intention to surrender to the provisional government, but he gave up after this incident.

Gu Heng was planning to build the Bank of China, and Song Hanzhang came to him. Naturally, he agreed wholeheartedly. He also said that he was planning to build a bank, and said that if Song Hanzhang was interested, he might as well join in.

Song Hanzhang was very ambitious. After listening to Gu Heng's words, he said that if he could meet Fang Jianxiong and discuss Commander Fang's views on the bank in person, he would consider joining. Gu Heng immediately said that this would be easy to do and just right.

If you want to go to Wuchang, just walk together.

I won’t go into details about the twists and turns. Fang Jianxiong heard that there were professionals in the banking industry who wanted to see him, so he naturally wanted to see him. He kept saying: "Please come quickly, please come quickly!" Song Hanzhang followed Gu Heng and lived in the headquarters.

Gu Heng originally accompanied him to talk, but Fang Jianxiong came back and left. Song Hanzhang was bored by himself, so he wandered around the headquarters. After walking a few steps, he was stopped by the guard, who kindly told him that the headquarters

There were many places inside where he couldn't move around, couldn't go anywhere, etc., so he was released.

Song Hanzhang had suffered losses before, and he was very frightened at first. Unexpectedly, he dismissed him with a few words, and he felt a little emotional. As he was strolling, Gu Heng came to him and hurriedly took his hand.

Said: "The young master's family is very happy to hear that you are here. They want to see you immediately. Come with me quickly."

Song Hanzhang followed along, feeling somewhat uneasy. Fang Jianxiong was a man of the hour, and Song Hanzhang admired him very much. There were many people coming back from abroad, but no one had made great achievements in industry and military affairs in a few years.

Not to mention, as far as Shanghai is concerned, Eurasia Department Store is the most profitable serious business in Shanghai today. Among the goods sold, many items are produced in Wuhu. What Song Hanzhang admires most is the business philosophy and methods of Eurasia Department Store.

, the idea of ​​hiring all young women as salespersons is not an idea that ordinary people can have. What’s even more rare is that Eurasia Department Store has strict rules and regulations, which not only include punishments, but also rewards. There are also companies called Eurasia Group

When it comes to culture, Song Hanzhang has an irresistible attraction. Song Hanzhang has always wanted to meet Fang Jianxiong, the instigator.

Fang Jianxiong stood directly at the door of the yard to greet Song Hanzhang. At first glance, he saw this middle-aged man who was a little fat. He wore a pair of glasses and had a kind face. He looked like an honest man. This face was indeed very deceptive. It was appropriate to be a profiteer.

But that's it.

Song Hanzhang didn't rush forward. He also stopped and looked at Fang Jianxiong. He was a very young man, wearing a regular military uniform and an armed belt around his waist. His hair was a Western style, very black and clean. He had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a facial expression.

Smiling and tall and straight, Song Hanzhang needs to look up slightly before he can face him face to face.

"Song Hanzhang has met Commander Fang!" Song Hanzhang had a plan in mind, and he looked neither humble nor overbearing, and held his hands in greeting.

Fang Jianxiong had a smile on his face, took two steps forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Song can be said to be helping the country. Jianxiong is a warrior. Although he has two provinces under his rule, he is not very good at finance.

As long as Mr. Song can join Bank of China, as long as the conditions are improved, he will always be satisfied."

Fang Jianxiong's thoughts were very clear. He didn't care whether Song Hanzhang was a good person or not. As long as he could run the bank well, Fang Jianxiong would dare to use him, and he would still trust him. Song Hanzhang didn't expect Fang Jianxiong to be so direct and say so.

Man. I didn’t know what to say on the spot.

"Commander Fang, what if I want shares in the bank?" Song Hanzhang felt something was pressing in his throat, and he couldn't help but say such a sentence. After saying it, he felt a little regretful, but then he felt a little expectant.

wait.

"There is no problem at all if we buy shares. If it is just people coming, I can give Mr. 3% of the shares and appoint him as the president of the Bank of China. The reserve of the Bank of China is 20 million yuan. No matter how much Mr. invests,

, can hold up to 30% of the shares." Fang Jianxiong gave a bottom line very directly, and Song Hanzhang bowed his head and remained silent.

At this time, Song Hanzhang's heart was filled with ups and downs. Although he was related to Gu Heng, he was not familiar with Fang Jianxiong. From the first moment, there was such a strong atmosphere of trust. A bank with a reserve of 20 million yuan can be said to be one of the largest banks in China today.

Excellent. The position of bank president is placed directly in front of him. How could Song Hanzhang not be tempted? (To be continued)
