The richest man in the world

Chapter 125 and a gamble with Manqing

Hu Chuyuan... is really useful!

When Hu Chuyuan came out of the courtyard in Changdian Hutong, Jing Lian had already got the CITIC silver ticket of 5 million taels of silver. He was so happy that he had been a household minister for so many years and had a lot of business with Shanxi ticket number, but he had never been so happy once.

For such a large amount, everyone has to think about it for a few days.

Hu Chuyuan is good. As soon as Jing Lian finished speaking, he asked people to quickly apply for a loan agreement, lend the money to the household office, and only collect a low tax of 8% of the annual interest.

After doing this, he couldn't wait to go to the palace to give a hand over to Cixi, and praised Hu Chuyuan beautifully.

As soon as he came out of the palace, he hurried back to congratulate Hu Chuyuan, saying that the Empress Dowager said that from now on, if there is a place to borrow, the Ministry of Household will only look for CITIC Money House, and there is no need to go to Shanxi people. It's troublesome.

In other words, if there is silver in the household department, it will exist in CITIC Qianzhuang. If you want to borrow money, you can also go to CITIC Qianzhuang.

Once it becomes a climate, the officials of Beijing Normal University will also find CITIC for private funds. If you can paste the ticket, you can paste the ticket. If you can't paste the ticket, you can deposit the ticket. If you don't deposit the ticket, you can send it back to your hometown quietly.

Officials want to send money to the Ministry of Officials to find a job. If they want to borrow money, of course, they have to find CITIC.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Of course, Hu Chuyuan was very happy. He left Jinglian for a dinner party and sent 30,000 taels of silver to the Xinyi pawnshop. The annual interest rate was at least 12 percent, and the annual dividend was distributed.

Pawnshops are small businesses with large profits, and they never need to open discount stocks. Today, it is a special exception to Jinglian, a household department.

As a secretary of the Ministry of Household, Jing Lian himself is not clear about this matter.

Just as they were muttering, Li Hongzhang also thought in his Zhili Governor's ya that he was not blind, and there was a big ghost in this matter.

He brought Sheng Xuanhuai over to discuss, and the two also muttered together.

Sheng Xuanhuai was uncomfortable. He had an idea about the bank two years ago, but he felt that it was too difficult to do, so he wanted to wait for a few years.

That's good. It's actually let Hu Chuyuan take the lead, and it's so smooth... Something's wrong!

It was very late. Li Hongzhang drank tea silently, frowned, and calculated the impact of this matter in his mind.

Sheng Xuanhuai couldn't even drink tea. He was worried like a fire, just like frying his heart with oil. He was so hot that he really wanted to scold his mother.

After waiting for a while, he provoked and said, "Zhongtang, there is absolutely something wrong with this matter. I guess that Hu Chuyuan has smashed at least four or five million taels of silver. Let's set a trap here, check him well, and take the opportunity to bring down those corrupt officials!"

Li Hongzhang snorted coldly and said, "Nonsense involves so many people. Li Hongzao, Prince Su and Prince Gong have a share. Who do you want to sue? If you don't die, you can wait to be cleaned up!"

Sheng Xuanhuai was speechless, that is to say, he was angry.

Li Hongzhang asked in surprise, "Tell me, if such a CITIC Bank like Hu Chuyuan is done, how much profit can he make from it? He is willing to make such a large amount of money. Isn't it a discount?"

Sheng Xuanhuai said, "That definitely won't happen. With his financial resources, it is estimated that he can eat 20 million taels of silver dollars, and it is estimated that he can send 40 million taels of banknotes. With such a large amount of money, he can use it to make loans and borrow money again. In three or four years, he can turn back the profits and continue to issue paper money. The money rolls out of money and profits. This business is too profitable.

Li Hongzhang couldn't help but blame and said, "Then why didn't you think about it?"

Sheng Xuanhuai sighed, "How can I not have it? I just think it's difficult to do things, especially Li Hongzao must be gossiping. We can't take it down. I just didn't expect that it would be cheaper for Hu Chuyuan.

After a pause, he suddenly laughed and said with a bad smile, "Zhongtang, if you want to say that young people have momentum to do things, there is always something unreliable. Think about it, the amount of banknotes he sent is so large. If he uses the traditional silver ticket method to do it, it is easy to fake it. If he uses the method of foreigners to do it, he also has to find someone to find machinery, oil-print dyes and paper. These alone can annoy him to death. As long as there are loopholes, the subordinates will have a way to deal with him.

Li Hongzhang nodded silently, but said, "I don't think he will have many omissions. You'd better do this matter as soon as possible. It depends on your ability. If you can suppress his CITIC Bank... other things will be easy to do!"

Sheng Xuanhuai is speechless.

He doesn't think he has this ability. The key is that he doesn't have a bank in his hand. If he had a Qianzhuang ticket number all over the country, he would have squeezed Hu Chuyuan out of the beach long ago.

The bank is not so easy to do. There are a lot of tricks in it. It takes a lot of effort to find a suitable shopkeeper.

Speaking of which, it can only be said that Hu Chuyuan's life is good. His father left him a Fukang Qianzhuang, and the shopkeeper grabbed a lot.

The next day, Hu Chuyuan invited Zhu Yannian over, sat down to drink a warm wine together, ate two plates of peanuts, corn and pine nuts, and said that the household department wanted to find CITIC Qianzhuang to do official errand.

Zhu Yannian was very happy when he heard it. He was overjoyed and said, "My employer, this is great news, which shows that our CITIC Qianzhuang has surpassed Shanxi people. I have been preparing for a long time. As long as you agree, I can open a few new stores tomorrow.

Hu Chuyuan nodded and said, "Well, I will turn the capital, Hebei and Tianjin into a general shop. The bank is opened in the Tianjin Concession, and the main shop is in the capital. The accounts here are all up to you to control, but... Master Zhu, I still want to say something."

Zhu Yannian was even happier. Unexpectedly, he was really going to be promoted to a shopkeeper. He immediately said, "My employer, you can tell me directly. I must have done everything for you."

Hu Chuyuan nodded silently and said, "I'll tell you this first. CITIC Qianzhuang and the bank are two businesses, which is equivalent to a right-hand relationship. On the Qianzhuang side, Chen Xiaobai's shopkeeper is still working. On the bank side, I handed it over to Zheng Xitai. When I wait for some days, I will transfer a shopkeeper from Shanghai to Tianjin as a manager. You are in charge of the money bank in Zhili, but you have to add more with him. Cooperation."

Zhu Yannian also nodded and said, "My boss, don't worry, I will do this clip well."

Hu Chuyuan hummed and said, "Mr. Zhu, please help me with my advice by the way. The business of our CITIC Qianzhuang is getting bigger and bigger. In the past, it was mainly engaged in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and only set up branches in other provinces to facilitate exchange. It's different now. I plan to set up eight branches in Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhili, Huguang, Liangguang, Northwest, Central Plains and Southwest. Each department has a branch shopkeeper, and Shanghai will leave a general manager.

Zhu Yannian thought for a moment and said, "There is no way."

Hu Chuyuan sighed, "Yes" and said to Zhu Yannian, "In addition, there is no need to open too many shops here in Zhili. There are one in Beijing and counties, one in Hebei, and three in Tianjin. That's almost the same. It is mainly to invest in the local Qianzhuang, or even directly control the large shares. You will be busy with these things recently to see which small banks can draw shares for us. Of course, the benefits are real. We can borrow money to him, and we can also follow the CITIC ticket number to do the second-vote business.

Zhu Yannian smiled and said, "As long as we are willing to dismantle the loan, there are many small banks that are willing to draw shares, but in the past two years, I have been doing things according to the wishes of Mr. Chen, and I have been accumulating the shopkeeper and the master accountant, who can open dozens of branches. What should I do with these people?"

Hu Chuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Then open a new ticket number."

Zhu Yannian pondered for a moment and said, "This is a good way. It's a big way to attract the wind. Since we changed the CITIC ticket number the year before last, it has been expanding rapidly. All the north and south goods have to go to our place. Except for Shanxi's Shengchang and Dadetong, we are the biggest ticket numbers in Beijing. Just like Qiao Zhiyong, we also opened a new ticket number, but what is the name of this ticket number and who will be the big shopkeeper of the sub-minute sign?

Hu Chuyuan said, "It's called the Wantong ticket number. You can find a way to choose a Shanxi person. I'm going to let this ticket number go to Shanxi and go to Xikou and Guisui for development."

Zhu Yannian smiled and said, "Then I understand. It's easy to find. There are a lot of shopkeepers in Shanxi who make ticket numbers. A few days ago, there was a big dispute between Li Hongling, the shopkeeper of Weifeng's ticket number Jingshi Branch, and the big shopkeeper Mao Honghan. Mao Honghan also complained to the Hou family of the owner, wanting to abolish Li Hongling. I know Li Hongling. He has been in contact with him for more than ten years. He is only thirty-three years old. He has just been a shopkeeper for a few years and wants to make some small changes in the Beijing branch. As a result, he was scolded by Mao Honghan, saying that he wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit.

"Oh?"

Hu Chuyuan couldn't help but be a little curious and continued to ask, "What do you want Li Hongling to make?"

Zhu Yannian said, "In fact, he is imitating our CITIC Qianzhuang to do the deposit business. He also wants to do the depositing of tickets. He told me in private that there are many rich businessmen in Beijing. If he can make a large deposit, he can definitely collect a large amount of deposits, send it to various places to borrow money, and make a lot of money. However, he said that our deposit interest is too high and the risk is too high.

Hu Chuyuan was more curious and asked, "Why did he tell you this?"

Zhu Yannian smiled and filled the wine happily. He drank it down and said, "To tell the truth, I think that I can retire in four or five years. I want to find a shopkeeper who can really stand in Zhili and the north for my boss. I look for him. In the past two years, I have been traveling with him through the relationship of my peers. I have taught him anything he doesn't understand. He is loyal and trustworthy. His character is unspeakable. He used to work as an apprentice in a Shanxi ticket number. He learned craftsmanship, and the ticket number was closed at a loss. Later, a Mr. Cao recommended him to be a keeper for the Hou family's generous ticket number. After a few years, he became a shopkeeper, but Cao's tent died of illness, leaving orphans and widows. When no one took care of him, he helped him directly and said that he wanted to take care of others until his two sons were sincere.

Hu Chuyuan couldn't help hum, thinking that there are such benefits in doing business in this era - people are really, people like Li Hongling have to go to "Moving China" after 130 years, but today, it is not very rare.

Such a person, even if he doesn't have much ability, Hu Chuyuan wants to use it.

He immediately said, "This person is good. How is his ability?"

Zhu Yannian took another sip of wine and said with a smile, "Don't worry, don't worry. Didn't you come to me for a drink?"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and took a sip.

Jingshi's liquor is too spicy. He is not used to it. He asked Chen Shanyuan to change a bottle of yellow wine flower carving, which is frozen in cold weather, and adds a little ginger to warm his stomach.

After a few more sips, Zhu Yannian said, "My employer, let me tell you the truth. This person's ability is first-class, that is, he is blind under the hands of the rich Mao Honghan. Unfortunately, Yuzhong, I have recruited twice before, and he refused to leave with a love affair.

Hu Chuyuan smiled and found this person more and more interesting. He said, "Os, you can arrange it for me. I want to visit him."

Bang.

Zhu Yannian put down the wine bottle and said, "My boss, if you are Liu Bei, let's go to him now. Don't delay at all. I guarantee that this person can make you a lot of money.

Without saying a word, Hu Chuyuan immediately asked Chen Shanyuan to prepare a car and bring two jars of Shaoxing yellow wine by the way.

Li Hongling is a native of Pingyao, Shanxi Province. He can grow up in the nest of Qianzhuang. He is 33 years old this year.

Hu Chuyuan went to invite him in person. There was really no reason not to invite him. It happened that Li Hongling was getting more and more aggrieved in Weifeng recently. When he talked to Hu Chuyuan, he found that the things he wanted to start had been done very neatly here with Hu Chuyuan.

He hesitated for a day. The next day, he came to Hu Chuyuan and agreed to take the pass number, but he didn't want the shares given by Hu Chuyuan. He just wanted to use the dividends he earned to occupy the shares.

Of course, Hu Chuyuan agreed, and he felt more and more that this person was really rare.

Hu Chuyuan just set out to return to Shanghai after handling this matter. He had to go back, because the business he was going to do had a far-reaching impact and would one day make the court restless.

He has to go back to control the heat, slowly cook on low heat, and boil the frog in warm water.

He is gambling with Manqing. If he wins, the world will be his.

If the Manchu Qing Dynasty attacked him before the situation was completely out of control, he would retreat to the Southern Ocean to carry out a revolution and strive to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty before the age of 40.
