Chapter 75 Fake Foreigner

It's just that he has never been in the mood to deal with the business problems of Fuyuan Yarn Factory. He is busy fighting for power and profits. There is time to take care of the business of the yarn factory. He has always handed over Zhao Chenbin to take care of it. Since last year, Zhao Chenbin has focused on Fuyuan Machinery Factory and served as the chairman of Fuyuan Machinery Factory. Zhao Zhao Chenliang, Dongyun's third uncle, specially came from his hometown in Xuzhou and served as the general office of Fuyuan Yarn Factory.

He also knows that Fuyuan Yarn Factory wants to open a weaving factory, but he doesn't pay much attention to it as before.

The main business of Fuyuan Yarn Factory is spinning. In short, it is to spin cotton into yarn and then sell it to various weaving factories. Its business scope is all over the country. In addition to being the main yarn supplier in several provinces of northern China, it also competes with several other large yarn factories in southern provinces, such as the famous Dasheng yarn factory in history. It is one of the main competitors of Fuyuan Yarn Factory.

However, seeing that the domestic cloth market is getting better and better, Fuyuan Yarn Factory itself has also begun to get involved in the weaving industry on a small scale, and has purchased hundreds of looms, but the overall scale is not large, and the sales area has always been limited to Zhili Province.

However, the domestic demand for cloth is increasing, especially after the tense situation in the northeast, Russia resists Japanese goods to enter the northeast, resulting in the large-scale withdrawal of Japanese cloth from the northeast, which also gives domestic cloth a huge business opportunity, and countless domestic cloth manufacturers sell cloth to the northeast.

Seeing this, Fuyuan Yarn Factory is naturally unwilling to be an upstream yarn supplier, so it is also ready to invest in a weaving factory to seize the northeast market.

Fuyuan yarn factory's plan to set up a weaving factory has naturally attracted the attention of many people. This weaving factory can't do it with tens of thousands of taels of silver. At least invest more than 200,000 taels of silver, so it has to raise funds.

The Li family is at least one of the shareholders of Fuyuan Machinery Factory, which is very interesting after hearing the wind. They are interested not only because they have spare money to invest in the industry, but also see the rich profit prospects of this weaving factory.

Once this weaving factory is established, it will definitely be supported by Fuyuan yarn factory. Among other things, there is no need to worry about yarn supply alone, and the cost is definitely cheaper than other weaving factories.

At the same time, the Li family is also a veteran commercial family in Northeast China. It has been engaged in the sale of foreign cloth before. After the situation in Northeast China began to be tense last year, the daily foreign cloth of the Li family * has been greatly reduced, resulting in a significant reduction in the share of the Li family in the three eastern provinces. In this case, the Li family must look for New cloth supply channels.

In the past six months, the Li family has also negotiated many companies, but they have not been able to find an ideal partner. The Li family even plans to run a weaving factory by themselves, but doing trade and doing industry are two different things. The Li family has money but can't build a weaving factory. It's okay to let him sell cloth, but it's better to let him weave cloth. It's hard

Now I heard that Fuyuan Yarn Factory is going to set up a weaving factory, and it is still preparing to raise funds from the business community to run the factory. This is undoubtedly good news for the Li family. If they can participate in this new weaving factory, they will undoubtedly get a stable cloth supply channel, and at the same time, they can effectively reduce it. Lower their purchase costs.

However, with the success of Fuyuan Yarn Factory, those capitalists heard that Fuyuan Yarn Factory was going to pool funds to run a weaving factory, they all waved their checks to Zhao Chenliang.

Although the Li family also has something to do with Fuyuan to participate in shares, what they want is not only to invest and receive dividends. What they want more is to get a stable source of cloth supply. It can be said that what they want is to enter the weaving industry, not just to invest and wait for dividends. That's all.

It's just that although Zhao Chenliang has not played much in the industry before, he has a group of professional managers to help him. The fund-raising plan formulated by the manager team, mainly composed of foreigners, is the same as the Fuyuan Machinery Factory at the beginning. After solving at least half of the problems through his own investment and borrowing, it is scattered to dozens of people. Merchants pool funds to ensure their own controlling rights.

In this case, just like Hong Xuwei at the beginning, you can't invest all the money!

Naturally, the Li family was unwilling to do this. After hearing that Zhao Dongyun, the big boss behind the Fuyuan yarn factory, came to Jinzhou, they would naturally not let go of this opportunity. First, they set out one of their own yard for Zhao Dongyun to use as the headquarters, which made Zhao Dongyun, who had been in the tent for many days, greatly interested in the Li family.

Today's banquet is called receiving Zhao Dongyun, but it is actually used to explore Zhao Dongyun's mouth to see if he can make a breakthrough from Zhao Dongyun and get the opportunity to invest in Fuyuan Weaving Factory on a large scale.

However, what they didn't expect was that Zhao Dongyun was more addicted to officialdom than they thought. Maybe for others, being an official was just to make a fortune. However, for Zhao Dongyun, money was just his help in officialdom. Otherwise, why did he invest hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Fuyuan Machinery Factory? Is it to make money? Definitely not. He wants the Beiyang New Army to acquire the ability to build weapons and improve his influence within Beiyang.

So it also led to the decision of dozens of taels of silver in Fuyuan Yarn Factory, and Zhao Dongyun actually ignored it.

Well, it is said that it is actually exaggerated. Zhao Dongyun just believes that there are so many professionals who are take care of it, and there is no need for him to stare at it every day. It doesn't have any effect to be tired.

"Of course, this cloth is not a problem. You can discuss this matter directly with my third uncle. I have never interfered in these matters!" Although Zhao Dongyun can guess a rough one, he still doesn't have much interest in it, so he just vaguely said *, and he doesn't mention the investment in the factory.

Li Yujian's face was a little pale after hearing this, but he didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have bother Lord Zhao with these common things. Now he has almost drunk. It happens that a troupe came to Jinzhou recently, and his performance is quite eye-catching. Lord Zhao might as well watch it together!"

Zhao Dongyun said, "Let's take a look!"

Next, the four people went out of the flower hall and turned into the open yard. After entering the open yard, they saw that a stage had been set up there. There were not only many people in the after-the-play team, but also other people in the Li family, several brothers and nephews of Li Yijian, as well as the wives and daughters of the Li family. When Zhao Dongyun saw this occasion, he couldn't help sighing that the Li family's atmosphere was also open enough to let the whole family accompany him as a foreign guest, and even the female family were pulled out.

If this is placed in other eunuchs' homes, it is absolutely impossible to appear. At least Zhao Dongyun has been in Baoding for many years. According to reason, he is also a senior high-level officer in Beiyang. Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang and others look up and look down, but they have never seen Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, etc. What does a person's daughter look like...

Zhao Dongyun has always felt sorry for this!

When he was thinking nonsense, he also entered the yard under the guide of Li Erjian. Many people in the yard saw Zhao Dongyun appear, and they all got up to salute. The men came up and shouted: I have seen Lord Zhao and so on, while the women stayed on both sides, staring at Zhao Dongyun one by one.

For them, today's Zhao Dongyun is very rare. The parents and brothers they usually see are dragging a braid, wearing a coat style, and more or less have the traditional habit of bending down and bowing their heads. However, from the first step of Zhao Dongyun's entry, they found that Zhao Dongyun's waist was straight, and his head Straight high, never lower.

He was wearing a senior officer's dress of the Beiyang Standing Army and polished black leather shoes. The most striking thing was that he had a bare head, not to mention the braids behind his head. He didn't have any hair on his head, coupled with his slightly upturned eight-character beard, which looked like the ocean in the Eight-Nation Alliance. Officers.

To be honest, Zhao Dongyun, who is dressed like this, is actually very different from the image of contemporary generals.

The Li family couldn't help opening their eyes to him, and several young ladies and maids opened their eyes wide. They said something to their companions beside them in a low voice, and then there were several smiles.

As a Beiyang officer in this era, you have to be scolded as a 'fake foreign devil'. Almost wherever the Beiyang New Army goes, it will inevitably be pointed out by the people. In recent years, Beiyang officers and soldiers have been used to it, and Zhao Dongyun is even more indifferent to it.

With Li Erjian's lead, several male members of the Li family came up, including Li Erjian's two younger brothers, Li Erjian's second son and several nephews, but most of them could only say something like meeting Lord Zhao. Zhao Dongyun did not reply most of the time, but just replied with a 'um' or a slight nod.

However, after arriving at the wife's side, Li Jianjian said, "This is my mother!"

In China, filial piety is the first. Although the Li family is nothing in Zhao Dongyun's eyes, he still maintains a certain degree of respect in the face of the 50 or 60-year-old woman. He immediately nodded slightly and greeted with a kind face.

However, this action is a little presumptuous in the eyes of others, because even if Zhao Dongyun is a senior official in the concept of ordinary people, you should be more or less kind to the old lady, don't say politely, and even lower your head only a little, which makes Li Jian and other Li clan people quite unhappy.

A girl holding Mrs. Li hummed even more!

What others don't know is that even when Zhao Dongyun faces Yuan Shikai, even if his language is extremely respectful, his waist has never bent, and his head has never been lowered.

Compared with countless time-traveling predecessors, Zhao Dongyun felt that he could still boast about this point. For more than two years since he came to this era, he had never knelt down to others, bent down and bowed his head, even in the face of Yuan Shikai.

Of course, this aspect is due to his self-esteem, and on the other hand, it is also related to the education he received in the military academy. In fact, Yuan Shikai appreciates his behavior of straightening up regardless of standing and sitting. Yuan Shikai has praised his young man's spirit more than once.

This spirit is not about his appearance, but his spiritual temperament, which is less like a military temperament.

For the Beiyang New Army, which everything imitates the German Army, this temperament is extremely scarce and worshipped.

It's just that his behavior is slightly unsuitable on current occasions, but Zhao Dongyun has been at the top for a long time. To be honest, he really can't turn around and put on a respectful posture for a while.

At a time of embarrassment, I heard the girl holding Mrs. Li's left hand in front of her whisper: "Fake foreign devil!"

The voice of this sentence was not loud, but at this time, no one spoke, not to mention that the needle could be heard, but it was also quiet. Although the word 'fake foreign devil' was light, it still clearly fell into everyone's ears.

In an instant, everyone's hearts were stunned, and Li Jian's face turned white in an instant!
