Chapter 26 The Japanese are coming

With Hu Chuyuan's weak understanding of Jinshixue and calligraphy, how dare he be called an academic leader?

He hurriedly put down his pen and said to Yan Shizhang and Wang Yirong, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I just give you a name casually. I'm not a vain person. I don't want such a reputation."

Wang Yirong sighed and bowed to Hu Chuyuan and said, "Master Hu, your virtues are the same in the world. You can have the style of the ancient sage. Mr. Wang is willing to bow down and be convinced. Mr. Hu, from now on, wherever you can use Wang, you can say it.

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Brother Wang is polite. If you want to talk about it, there is really one thing at present!"

Wang Yirong said, "Just say it!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "I have discussed with Lord Zuo Zongtang Zuo that in the future, I will set up a Jiangnan National Academy to study Sinology and the treasures left by my ancestors. As for me, I just want to invite you to come. At present, the National Academy has not been established, but the research of Oracle must be prepared first. Mr. Yan is my staff. He usually takes care of a lot of things, but this matter is very important. I just want to ask you to be responsible for the study of Oracle first, and all the funds are provided by Jiangnan Commercial Bank.

"Good!" Wang Yirong was very happy and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang can't help it. I don't know where these turtle boards are produced. Can you dig more?"

Hu Chuyuan said, "These turtle plates are a traditional Chinese medicine called keel, which is produced in Anyang, Henan Province. It is still easy to continue to buy keel, because there is little application and little loss of medicinal materials, so it can be retained until now. Let's not squeak, allocate a sum of money to do it secretly, and collect all the turtle boards that can be collected, so as not to rob the little people.

Shen Furong smiled and said, "My employer, I might as well assist Mr. Wang and Mr. Yan in this matter. I promise to do it properly!"

Hu Chuyuan thought about it carefully and said to Shen Furong and Yan Shizhang, "This matter is really very important. We have to do it well, and we also need to do it finely and properly. The acquisition of the tortoise plate is still handed over to Hu Qingyutang Pharmaceutical Bank. I write a letter for you to forward to my fourth uncle and ask him to take pictures of my cousin Hu Shiyuan, who is fully responsible for the acquisition of the tortoise board, and the shopkeeper Shen is responsible for transferring the money. Mr. Wang Yirong, please be responsible for the research and sorting out.

"Good, the owner is thoughtful!" Shen Furong and others immediately praised it.

The oracle thing really can't be done. If the news is revealed too early, it will definitely cause looting. It's better to set up a pharmacy in Anyang, which is responsible for excavating and acquiring turtle boards.

On the surface, Hu Qingyutang wants to monopolize the taste of female keel, which is not a very important medicinal material. In fact, it secretly collects all the turtle plates and transports them to Hangzhou for proper storage and research.

At noon, Hu Chuyuan held a feast in the Hu family's courtyard to wash the dust for Wang Yirong, and then lived in the cold autumn courtyard with Yan Shizhang.

After the fourteenth aunt left, Hu Chuyuan redecorated this place and left it for the staff to live in. After that, all the turtle boards shipped from the pharmacy were also saved here.

Hu Chuyuan has more things to do, but in front of him, he still has to devote a lot of energy to do the things of Oracle. He is not very interested, but after all, this is a very important event.

For this reason, he also put down some things in his hand and ran to Yaoxing and the Hu family compound with Wang Yirong, Yan Shizhang and Shen Furong.

That day, as soon as the four people shipped back a batch of new turtle boards purchased by the pharmaceutical bank from Henan, Wang Baotian hurriedly told Hu Chuyuan that there was a Japanese man who wanted to see him.

Japanese is a bad word in Hangzhou, referring to myself.

Since he found that the Hu family had bought a fake ink treasure from the original, Wang Baotian hated me so much that he didn't let me enter the second door at all, so he stayed in the sedan chair hall and waited.

Hu Chuyuan and Wang Yirong have entered the Baishi Tower. After listening to Wang Baotian's report, he asked Wang Baotian to invite him in. He thought to himself, how did these people find him?

Japanese version.

Hu Chuyuan is not a patriot with great hatred. For him, enjoying life is as important as saving the country and the country. After all, people can only live a lifetime and can't live with themselves.

But even he has a very cruel idea about Japan.

Hu Chuyuan knows the characteristics and history of the Japanese economy very well.

It is because he is very familiar with it that he has a way for chaebols to save the country, and Japan's economic development is based on the sharp recession of China's economy.

Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan began to focus on the export of raw silk and tea, and achieved very good results around 1890. The average quality of raw silk exceeded that of Chinese raw silk. The tea industry also fully adopted mechanization, gradually becoming the world's second largest exporter of raw silk and the fifth largest tea exporter.

By 1910, Japan was already the world's largest exporter of raw silk. The total annual output of raw silk reached 12,460 tons, and the total export volume was 9,462 tons, accounting for 75% of the total global exports.

At that time, almost all of the four chaebols relied on the profits earned from raw silk exports to maintain their other industries, support heavy industry, and slowly transition to an industrial power.

War serves politics, and politics always serves the economy. For Japan, only by defeating China and occupying China can the economy achieve real development.

It can be said that the consensus of the whole political and economic circles is that only by stepping on the bones of China can we become a real strong man in this era.

Similarly, Hu Chuyuan also firmly believes that only by keeping China's silk industry and tea industry can China have a future. Only by stepping on the bones of Japan can China obtain long-term security.

Soon, Wang Baotian led a young man in a suit in. He was slightly short and thin, but very energetic. His eyes were shining with a sharp and unyielding light. It seemed that he did not pay attention to the luxury and wealth of the Hu family's compound at all.

He walked in humbly, took out a letter from the briefcase in his hand, and asked in half-cooked Chinese, "Excuse me, which one is Mr. Hu Xueyan's eldest son, Mr. Hu Chuyuan?"

"Me!" Hu Chuyuan answered and looked at the man carefully.

"Hello, I am Shibusawa Pingdong, a messenger sent by Mr. Ryuichi Takeda, the president of Tokyo Dongyi Company, who made a special trip to Hangzhou to invite Hufu to participate in the second public auction of Chinese antiques. Before that, I would like to convey the condolences of Mr. Takeda Ryuichi and the business community for the death of Mr. Hu Xueyan, and I hope that your family can express our condolences.

The young man said coldly and calmly, orderly and sent the invitation to Hu Chuyuan.

Hu Chuyuan opened the invitation and browsed it, and asked Shize Pingdong, "Do you have any more detailed information?"

Shize Pingdong immediately took out an exquisite printed book from his briefcase and handed it to Hu Chuyuan, "We have sorted out the information of the main 122 pieces of auctions here. Please take a look!"

Hu Chuyuan opened this information book again, saying that I have always been very meticulous, and I have not let go of any details. In order to attract Chinese businessmen to Japan to participate in the auction, their work has reached a watertight level.

The black-and-white photos, materials, origin, starting price of all auctions, the approximate valuation in the Yanjing antique market, and the appraisal results of some famous antique dealers in Beijing are recorded in detail in the data book.

Looking at the complete information book, Hu Chuyuan and Shi Zeping said, "You have come from afar and have worked hard all the way. I always have to do my best in the friendship of the landlord. Please stay in Hu's house for one night first. If you want to participate in this auction, I will reply to you tomorrow!"

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, so I will wait for your good news!" Shibusawa Pingdong's first thank you.

I don't know why, Hu Chuyuan always feels that there is a military atmosphere in this person.

Although he really wants me to live in a special pit for the subordinates in the Hu family compound, he is Hu Chuyuan after all. After all, this is Hu Mansion, a place with rules and courtesy.

He and Wang Baotian ordered, "Arrange Mr. Shize to live in the lock spring courtyard and treat him properly."

Wang Baotian also hates it. He lost tens of thousands of yuan last time, but Hu Chuyuan had already ordered it, so he could only do it.

When Wang Baotian led Shize Pingdong to leave, Hu Chuyuan handed over the document to Wang Yirong and others and asked them to think about it carefully.
