When Zhu Baosan was guiding Yu Huizu, Wang Xiaoxu listened and said nothing. He used to think that it was not difficult to settle the Jiangnan Bureau, but now there are still many unknown factors. The biggest problem is that Shen Baozhen and the foreign consul had contracts to build merchant ships before. If they really make trouble in Beijing, there will be no chance. Do you want to open a dock? Even if you want to open Shanghai, you will be able to drive there when the time comes?

He was thinking about it, and Zhu Baosan continued to explain some important things to Yu Huizu, "Hanzhang, now Lord Yuan of the Taotai, Lord Zhou of Liangjiang, are all the Governor of Zhili, Lord Yuan of the Governor of Zhili. Your relationship with King Qing is not bad. Bei Zi Zaizhen has a lot of kids in Tianbao Company, so everyone will take care of anything. But Lord Lu, Lord Shan, is different from it. Although they are all from Li Zhongtang, since Li Zhongtang died, they have lost money and scattered and acted on their own. Don't think that Lord Shan is looking at you to buy his railway tracks outside the pass, and he will be careless. It is difficult to succeed, but it is easy to fail. It is better to be careful."

Sheng Xuanhuai was taken away by Yuan Shikai by the ship and telegraph office, which made it difficult for the Hanyang Iron Factory to maintain the problem. Fortunately, the Luhan Railway required a large amount of rails, which was considered a breath of breath. When Luhan was about to be completed, Antongfeng outside the pass was about to start construction again. This way, the iron factory could barely maintain it. However, Sheng Xuanhuai always wanted to expand the iron factory. When the railway was just approved the year before, he talked with Yu Huizu. He wanted to borrow three million rails from Tonghua Railway Company for the expansion of the iron factory. At that time, Yu Huizu did not refuse. However, when Shanda came to ask for money in the middle of last year, the railway company's money was transferred from the United States.

Chase Bank, and then transferred to London to speculate on treasury bonds, Yu Huizu had no choice but to raise 300,000 yuan for him to operate. In addition, in order to make Shanda feel at ease, Yu Huizu promised to prepay the rail payment in July this year according to the date given by Yang Rui. If Hanyang needs funds to be expanded, the railway company can pay all the five million rail payments. As soon as this was said, Sheng Xuan Huaixin made a decision and threw the mortgage contract for Japan's Daye Iron Mine aside (note), and strongly supported all matters of Tianzi. It was a few days ago that the fundraising party at Tongji University Hall, and although others didn't have it, they also donated 10,000 taels.

Yu Huizu couldn't tell Zhu Baosan the details, so he had to nod. Zhu Baosan saw him nodding, touched his beard, and looked tirelessly, and then said: "As for the protests from foreigners, there is a way to solve them. Aren't you familiar with the Germans? This year, the Germans have set up a Bandung Iron Factory in Yangshupu, which is also a shipbuilder. You can buy the Jiangnan Bureau and merge with it or join forces with it. It is also a solution."

After hearing Zhu Baosan's statement that he merged with the Germans and joined forces, Yu Huizu quickly shook his head. He had a natural rejection of foreigners, and always felt that all the foreigners were not good people. Once they joined the foreigners, the victim was naturally Chinese, so the railway company never wanted the United States to participate.

Seeing that Yu Huizu was unwilling to join the Germans, Zhu Baosan had to say, "Then if you don't look for Germans, just look for Americans. You rely on their relationship to gain a foothold in the railway outside the Guan Dynasty. Now, the Jiangnan Bureau can first say that you don't build a merchant ship, and buy it first. Then you can ask the Americans to register a company and then rent the dock to this American company. In the future, the merchant ship is the business of this American company. If they protest, let them protest against the Americans."

Yuan Shuxun said it seriously, but Zhu Baosan knew that he had always been like this. As long as he was asked to do things, there was nothing difficult. He would come today, which means that there was a chance in this matter. He didn't care about it now and said with a smile: "I'm going to ask Brother Guanhai to come today, just to discuss the matter afterwards. What if I buy the Jiangnan Bureau first and then rent him to an American company to build a ship?"

After Zhu Baosan finished speaking, Yuan Shuxun's faint eyes lit up. He just wanted to speak, so he looked at Wang Xiaoxu again. Zhu Baosan immediately said, "This is Mr. Wang, his own family, and he runs the shipyard with this Hanzhang." He said, Wang Xiaoxu stood up and saluted.

"Since it's your own people, there's nothing to hide. You can do this. If the American Consul does not help and does not regard this company as an American company, it will be difficult to deal with it. Besides, it will be difficult to buy it out of the Jiangnan Bureau. Although Lord Zhou submitted a note, there are too many people who want to eat this piece of meat. What's more, the docks that I had run in earlier years... The Docks that were owned by the Japanese were occupied by the Japanese. The Docks in the Gulf Docks were robbed in the Gengzi year and were destroyed. Now only the ponytails and the Jiangnan Dock are still there, so the ponytails are not enough. Jiangnan is still in Shanghai, so I'm afraid that the adults in Beijing will not be willing to sell them."

"Isn't this what you want to discuss? Look at how this number is done?" Zhu Baosan did not say nonsense and wrote a number directly on the table.

Yuan Shuxun smiled and said, "Bao San. Money is easy to come from. But once the money transfers another day, the bosses of the money shop will probably not recognize me. They all say that industry saves the country. Master Yu's business is good, even Master Lao Fu appreciates it. If Master Yu doesn't dislike it..."

Yuan Shuxun didn't say anything, but the meaning was very clear. He didn't think that he was giving too little money, but wanted to do something. Zhu Baosan knew what he meant and laughed, "Okay. It's so good to be able to plan." He looked at Yu Huizu, then looked at Wang Xiaoxu, and then said, "If this is the case, would it be fine?" After that, he wrote a letter on the table.

Yuan Shuxun just laughed, and did not answer or nodded. Zhu Baosan wrote one more and another five more. Yuan Shuxun still laughed. It was probably because he felt that Zhu Baosan was familiar with him, so he wrote two by himself. Wang Xiaoxu was shocked when he saw this. The Jiangnan Bureau planned to invest one million taels to build a ship, plus the original dock factory machine, and the total amount was more than four million taels. In this way, Yuan Shuxun took 20% of it at once. However, he was not able to stop it. He thought that when the revolution was successful in the future, the account would be ignored.

Wang Xiaoxu was surprised, but Yu Huizu felt that it was very ordinary. These officials were tigers who eat people and don’t spit bones, and this matter was really difficult to deal with. 15% of Zhu Baosan’s previous statement was discussed with him. Now it is not unacceptable to mention 20%. He nodded to Zhu Baosan, and even this matter was settled.

The glimmer in Yuan Shuxun's eyes only appeared when bargaining. At this time, when the conditions were negotiated, he looked like an old-looking person again. Before he came, he had thought of a solution and waited for Yu Huizu to agree. Since the Gengzi year, he has been in Shanghai Taoist platform for five years, and it will be necessary to transfer to another place in two years. It would be difficult for me to find another job like this in the Qing Dynasty. Besides, in the past five years, the interest rate will be more than 300,000 taels per year, plus

The other filial piety and investment items are still three to four million taels on hand, but the money is not easy to take out, so I always have to find a way to turn them white. Yu Huizu's Tianzi is very famous in Shanghai. In the past, it was just for face and was afraid that he would take advantage of the relationship in the palace. He always wanted to invest but had no chance. Now it is a good opportunity. As long as the shipyard invests, it will be simple to invest in the future, such as soap and matches, when other stocks are expanded, it will be easy.

Yuan Shuxun's goal was to never talk and drink tea. The other people had to wait for him to tell the way later. After a long silence, Zhu Baosan finally said: "Look at the sea. Tell me, what should I do about this matter? We can make arrangements for a plan."

Yuan Shuxun changed his previous reluctance and said, "The foreigners will do what Baosan said before, but the American consul should make the matter first. I am not afraid of anything else in the Qing Dynasty, but I am afraid of foreigners, and the most afraid of the British among the foreigners. Once the British protest, the Americans will not help, and the dock will not be able to build a merchant ship. Besides..." He stopped to drink tea again. After drinking, he only glanced at Wang Xiaoxu and Yu Huizu's faces. Zhu Baosan immediately understood and said, "Hanzhang, Xiaoxu, please avoid this first."

Yu Huizu and Wang Xiaoxu immediately went out. They stayed until they didn't know how long it took Zhu Baosan to invite him. When he returned to the living room, Yuan Shuxun had already returned.

Yu Huizu asked stupidly, "Where is this Lord Yuan..."

Zhu Baosan said: "Mr. Yuan is gone. Everything has been discussed. Not only does he have to do 20% of his shares, but he also has to invest in 20 taels to the last shipyard. What do you think?"

Yu Huizu didn't expect that Mr. Yuan was not satisfied with 20% of the shares and even wanted to invest. He glanced at Wang Xiaoxu and said, "As long as Mr. Yuan does not interfere with the internal operations of the shipyard, investment is not bad."

"That's good." Zhu Baosan was also afraid that he would disagree. Now that he agreed, there was nothing to pay attention to. He said, "Mr. Yuan said that if you want to buy this dock, it would be not enough to just put a note."

"What should I do?" Yu Huizu didn't understand what they meant. He said he wanted Lord Yuan to submit a memorial.

"Mr. Yuan is afraid that someone in the capital will not be able to bear the last dock left, so if you want to take over, you have to completely give up. If something happens to the Jiangnan Bureau and it is completely useless, then the masters in the capital will not say anything, and it will be easier to buy it."

Zhu Bao said lightly, but the meaning was very clear. Yu Huizu was not stupid. He looked at the kerosene lamps lit in the hall and said nervously: "If something happens to the Jiangnan Bureau... it cannot be used... Could it be that he wants to set the fire inside... This is too..."

Zhu Baosan shook his head and smiled. Yu Huizu was puzzled, and Wang Xiaoxu next to him didn't understand either. He had thought he wanted to set fire in the Jiangnan Bureau. Now Zhu Baosan shook his head, so he didn't understand why he made something happen to the Jiangnan Bureau meant.

Seeing that they couldn't think of anything, Zhu Baosan had to say, "Hanzhang knows why the Jiangnan Bureau had to go to Longhua to set up a branch office after the establishment of the Gaochang Temple?"

After paying attention to the Jiangnan Bureau for a long time, Yu Huizu knew about it. He said: "Because there is a gunpowder factory in the Jiangnan Bureau, there was too much black gunpowder made in the early years, but now it has been changed to smokeless gunpowder. The black gunpowder is piled up in the bureau, and next to the Jiangnan Bureau is the French Concession. Foreigners are afraid of something, so they need to transfer the black gunpowder in the bureau to..." He said, suddenly awakening and stammeringly said, "Ah!! This... is... to... a bomb! This..." Yu Huizu was frightened, and the teacup on the table was also brought to the ground by him. With the sound of porcelain cups, the living room was silent.

Yu Huizu was panicked, and Wang Xiaoxu only recited Amitabha in his heart, but Zhu Baosan had his face as usual and was not at all hurried, "What are you panicking? If you don't destroy the Jiangnan Bureau, why do you buy it from the court?"

Yu Huizu said: "This... this is a bad thing. I... I can't buy it anymore, right?"

When it comes to hurting the sky and harming the law, Zhu Baosan became angry, "Why is it hurting the sky and harming the law? The place where the workers in the Jiangnan Bureau live is not too far away from the gunpowder warehouse. At most, the house collapses and cannot die. Besides, it is not necessary to blow up the factory. As long as there is a bigger accident, it is enough. At that time, the French in the concession next to them protest, and the court can only let the Jiangnan Bureau move, the machines can be moved, the land, the factory, and the dock cannot be moved away, and they have to be sold if they don't sell it."

After Zhu Baosan finished speaking, he looked surprised at them and said, "This idea was not actually what Lord Yuan and I thought of, but Li Zhongyu thought about it. Now it is not as good as before. Beiyang Army only knows how to purchase foreign equipment. Most patrol battalions in various provinces use German Mauser made in Hanyang. The guns of the Jiangnan Bureau are probably the poorest border guards. In addition, the Boxer's compensation is huge, and the annual withdrawal is less than that of a year. If you don't change it, the Jiangnan Bureau will be really ruined. Zeng Wenzheng and Li Zhongtang knew that the Jiangnan Bureau would end like this, and they are afraid that..."

Zhu Baosan sighed again, "I have been in business for many years, and today's ability is to keep faithful. But many things in this world cannot be done with faithfulness. If you want to do it well, you have to do it first. If you don't buy the Jiangnan Bureau, then he will always be in a state of dying. Machines can be bought. Where can I find them if those technicians are exposed? These people have been trained for decades of real money, and they can't find them after they are exposed."

Zhu Baosan was right, but Yu Huizu was not so panicked and said straight: "Then... how should this accident happen?"

"If you bring 10,000 taels of silver to me tomorrow, people will naturally do things. Li Zhongyu is the Jiangnan Bureau's proposal. If someone dies, he will not be able to leave, so you should put down your compassion. Besides," said Zhu Baosan, taking out a list, "The dock land, dock, factory house, machines, pliers, drills, chisels and other scattered furniture items, estimated to be more than 3.28 million taels of cash, but in fact you will pay 1.67 million taels. For some matters, Lord Yuan's 200,000 taels, Li's promotion of 100,000 taels, Lord Zhou's 100,000 taels, Prince Qing's 100,000 taels, and the scattered small officials in the original bureau, just give you 70,000 taels. This can help you save 1 million taels, and the other more than 1.6 million taels to pay is at most half, and the remaining ones can be paid in one year."
