Volume 1, Chapter 19, Wuhu Fang Family (Part 1)

In fact, Fang Jianxiong had already prepared. Li and Yangxing could be said to be the main partners for future cooperation, and a nail had to be driven in.

"Victor, I suggest you stay in Shanghai, familiarize yourself with the situation first, and then try to get a good position in Shanghai." As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong turned around and took out an envelope from his bag and handed it to Victor:

"This is an activity fund for you. I hope you can take advantage of your strong communication skills and build a good relationship with your colleagues and bosses in foreign companies first. As for your performance, you can rest assured. I will settle down after I get home. I promise you

You can easily get a large order. Just wait for my news."

Although Fang Jianxiong's commanding tone made Victor a little dissatisfied, for the sake of money, everything was not that important. When he stood up to leave, Sally, who was wearing a low-cut skirt, shook her big breasts,

She has not forgotten to wink at Fang Jianxiong. Although this kind of seduction attempts failed many times on the ship, Sally has no intention of giving up and is still working tirelessly. All of this is mainly due to Fang Jianxiong's rich wealth.

purse. Sally is French, so in some ways, she is more unrestrained.

In Shanghai in the late autumn of 1907, morning fog filled the city.

Standing on the balcony, you can see the Bund. The morning fog disperses as the sun rises, revealing the various national flags on the river. From an era of national independence to a semi-colonial era, these national flags in Fang Jianxiong's eyes,

It's like wounds being torn open one by one on this disaster-ridden nation.

When he was far away in Germany, Fang Jianxiong didn't have too deep feelings about these things, but when he actually set foot on this land and watched the foreigners tyrannizing on the land of the motherland, a strong sense of national responsibility broke out uncontrollably. I can

I can be greedy for money and lustful, but I can never fail to do something for this country.

The reason for refusing to join the Tongmenghui was because Fang Jianxiong was not optimistic about them. History has proven that without strong strength, one cannot speak loudly in this world. When he was in Germany, Fang Jianxiong made a plan to slowly accumulate strength and wait for the world to change.

time.

When he stood on the soil of Shanghai, this goal changed somewhat, that is, time waits for no one, and we must use the fastest waiting speed to pull up the team. Political power comes from the barrel of the gun, interests come from the barrel of the gun, and words come from the barrel of the gun.

right!

Fang Jianxiong must re-plan for his future path. For this reason, Fang Jianxiong didn't sleep until late at night last night.

No matter what happens in the future, Fang Jianxiong has to go home first. He takes off his suit, puts on his robe, then takes out a pair of mille-feuille bottoms hidden at the bottom of the box and puts them on carefully. What appears in the mirror is a handsome young man. As for the braids, Fang Jianxiong doesn't

I was going to worry about it, but there were two German devils following me. How could the government dare to take care of it?

Professional soldiers are professional soldiers. When Fang Jianxiong came out of the room, Jenson and Paulus in the living room subconsciously stood up and said: "Hello, sir!"

"I'm not a soldier now, so you can call me boss instead. Are you ready?" Because he paid the money, Fang Jianxiong felt at ease ordering the two of them, and Janson seemed to be willing to be used as well.

Victor also stood up, and with a proud look, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Dear Fang, I am now one of the compradors of Lihe Yang Company. Please allow me to formally inform you that the first batch of equipment you ordered is five.

One hundred Mauser G96 automatic pistols have been shipped in Germany. According to your request, each gun is equipped with two thousand rounds of ammunition. Mauser Company expresses its respect for you giving up the naming of F98 rifles. This batch of five hundred pistols

, you only need to pay a little shipping fee. In the future, when you purchase K98 rifles from Mauser, you will get a 5% discount for each rifle."

The Germans really don’t have any good stuff. A flawless single-shot rifle like the K98 actually offers such a small benefit.

Fang Jianxiong cursed secretly in his heart, but Victor felt admiration for the calm expression on Fang Jianxiong's face. He had heard Pierre say a long time ago that Fang is a noble person who takes fame and fortune very lightly. Juncker

Bob, who was born into a noble family, admired Fang Jianxiong very much and regarded him as his elder brother. Now it seems that these words are reasonable. A rifle that has been officially recognized by the German army and installed on a large scale was originally named after Fang.

Starting with the first letter. But he gave up! Well, the quality issue is not an important issue for a businessman. The key is that he has such a relationship with Mauser Company, and Pierre, one of the heirs of the Rhine Company

The relationship is as good as brothers.

All of the above are the conditions for Victor to respect Fang Jianxiong. Of course, any one of these conditions can make Victor polite, not to mention that Fang may bring him huge achievements.

Regarding Victor's respect, Fang Jianxiong simply nodded. When dealing with such a profit-seeking businessman, profit is enough. False politeness is simply a cloud. Fang Jianxiong's contempt did not affect Victor's heart at all.

I am dissatisfied. I feel that Eastern people are reserved and polite. If they are not polite to you, they treat you as one of their own. Victor is very happy to be one of Fang’s own people. This kind of speed will build a lot of confidence in the future.

on top of banknotes.

"Check the equipment and get ready to go!" This sentence sounds like going out to rob, but it is actually a habit of a professional soldier. No matter where he goes, Fang Jianxiong will say this before every departure.

In front of Victor, Fang Jianxiong quickly took out a Rhine-style (54) pistol from his feet, quickly checked it and put it back. Jensen and Paulus each took out the pistol from their suit pockets.

The inspection was completed quickly.

"Inspection completed, set off now, target, go home!"

The Fang family is considered a big family in Wuhu, but not a particularly big one. Fang Jianxiong's grandfather started as a millet merchant and continued his business in Shanghai. After Wuhu opened as a port, the Fang family's business plummeted. If not

Fang Youde joined a foreign company and did well, but the Fang family's business had long been over. However, Fang Youde was a commoner and his status in the family was not high, although for more than ten years, the family had actually been supported by Fang Youde.

Three years ago, Fang Youde fell ill and fell ill. The foreign company gave him a sum of money to return to his hometown to recuperate. It should be said that this was done in a more humane way. Because of Fang Youde's relationship, the Fang family's business gradually improved.

, not only engaged in the rice business, but also started the business of exporting tung oil and bristle. The Fang family’s business partners were mainly foreign companies from various countries.

Last winter, Fang Youde failed to survive and died of illness. Because the roads were better, the Fang family's business did not seem to be greatly affected. However, one person's treatment changed dramatically.

The Fang family's large house with five entrances is considered a good house in Wuhu City. The stone lion at the door looks ferociously at everything on the opposite side and the passers-by.

It was already night, and in a small room in the backyard that was originally occupied by servants, a woman whose good looks could vaguely be seen was doing needlework under the dim oil lamp.

The maid Qiu Ju, who came in with a footbath, couldn't help but feel a sore nose when she saw this scene. Last winter, the master died, and the young master's study expenses in the West were also cut off. Madam pawned all the jewelry, which was regarded as paying the last half year's tuition.

Got it together.

"Woman, don't do it. Wash your feet first. I'll do it later." Qiu Ju stepped forward and smiled hard, put down the footbath, and turned around to get the kettle from the stove.

Qiu Ju has forgotten where she is from. She only remembers that when she was eleven years old, a flood destroyed her home and her parents took her to flee Shanghai. One day, her parents put a grass tag on her head and then appeared in the market.

People were standing there to choose. It was a spring morning, and there was a thin drizzle of rain in the sky. When the spring was cold and she was shivering in the wind, a kind-faced lady appeared in front of her holding an umbrella and said something.

"This child looks really distressing!" So Qiu Ju was brought into Fang's house by this kind-hearted lady who was like a Bodhisattva in the temple. Now five years have passed.

"That's good, I have nothing to do anyway. Counting the days, it's time for Xiong'er to come back. I don't know if the money will be enough. I don't dare to write to him about family affairs, for fear of worrying about his studies."

Madam would only say these words when facing Qiu Ju alone. After the master passed away, Madam was driven to this small room, but she never cried in front of the Fang family. Madam only blushed when she mentioned the young master.

Eyeballs, tears overflowing from the corners of the eyes.

Qiu Ju also knew that Madam often cried secretly late at night because she missed the young master.

"Madam, everything will be fine when the young master comes back." Qiu Ju could only comfort her like this, even though she knew it wouldn't have much effect.

As the actual head of the Fang family, Fang Youxiao walked around the house majestically with his hands behind his back. This was a trip he would make every day after he became the official head of the family. Every time he walked to the backyard, he saw the presence of that tenacious light.

, Fang Youxiao felt like there was a thorn in his heart.

Fang Youxiao, who was born in the eldest family, has been firmly suppressed by Fang Youde, who was born in the second family for more than ten years. Even when Fang Youde was seriously ill, this phenomenon did not change at all. It was not until Fang Youde, the unlucky ghost, died that Fang Youxiao was able to change

All of this. All the shopkeepers who tended to Fang Youde were basically replaced by their own people. Although the business was a little worse than before, the power was in their own hands. This feeling of having the final say at home is a good thing.

It couldn't be better.

The only thing I'm worried about now is the little beast that Fang Youde sent to study in the foreign world. Thinking about it carefully, I can't help but feel lucky. If Fang Youde died a year later, what else would he have to do in this family? As for now, everything is his own.

Man, even if that little beast comes back, what will happen?

Beep beep, the sound of the clock was heard in the distance, and Fang Youxiao turned around and went back to his room. He had not thought of driving Fang Youde's widow out of the house, but in that case, his reputation would be completely ruined in Wuhu City.

Lost it. If that's the case, don't stay in Wuhu County. Fang Youde has a lot of friends in this city.
