Chapter 80 Talent
The hall is a unique cultural landscape in China. The earliest hall was born in the capital. It was a hall set up by officials in the capital for their hometowns who came to Beijing to take exams and the officials who were appointed in Beijing. Later, the industry hall gradually appeared. The club is not only an organization for public welfare, but also a place for gathering meetings, banquets and entertainment in fellow villagers.
With the development of the commercial economy, some towns with convenient transportation, developed economies and prosperous commodity markets have also built fellow villages or industry halls. In the early days, the hall combined the theater with the temple, which was a place for people to communicate and pray for God. Later, it also developed into a restaurant, tea garden and theater-style building.
Jiangning, which is located on the Yangtze River, has always been an important place in the world. The superior geographical location of the river has brought about the prosperity of commerce in this place. For thousands of years, it has been a businessman here for thousands of years. The economic prosperity has caused merchants from all over the country to gather in Jiangning. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, hundreds of guild halls have been built in the city. Although most of the guild halls built in the Ming Dynasty were destroyed by the banditry, Jiangning is Jiangning after all, but in a few years, Jiangning's guild hall has been rebuilt.
These halls with a seemingly beautiful appearance are exquisitely designed, majestic and spectacular, and the buildings have their own styles, showing the strength of local business groups. The Shanshan Guild Hall is magnificent and majestic. The Zhejiang Guild Hall is beautiful and charming, unique and exquisite. The Central Plains Guild Hall is rough and majestic, thick and magnificent. The Jiangxi Guild Hall is simple, rigorous and concise. .
In these halls, there is a European-style hall. The Shanghai Hall is well known in Jiangning. The Shanghai Hall built 30 years ago is built in the shape of foreigners in the Shanghai Concession. In the exquisite and towering Hall in Jiangning City, this different European style is not big in Shanghai. The hall is shown.
Recently, in this Shanghai Guild Hall, everyone knows that rooms 1 to 10 of Tianzi have been contracted by the "lame ty tycoon". Recently, the lame tycoon seems to have divine help. First, he was appreciated by Lord Liu, the governor of the Liangjiang Rivers, and even promised to develop Pudong by Lord Liu, and even the iron ore was allowed to give him the industry. Division development.
If ten days ago, perhaps no one knew about the industrial company, it was the people in the Shanghai Guild Hall who mentioned Chen Moran. I'm afraid that they only knew about "the lame tycoon to take the house of the twelve classes with a lot of money". But now, who doesn't know that Chen Moran's industrial company.
Although it is not close to noon, there is a loud and cutting instrumental music in the restaurant of the Shanghai Guild Hall. The charming and graceful beauty has played the pipa and sang Kunqu Opera, and there are also several tables of guests at the table. The guialls are always like this, and there is always no time for meals from south to north.
"... I got Pudong first, and then I got the iron ore, which made people jealous, but I couldn't help him. The Governor even went to the two palaces and asked for a reward for him. Even the Governor-General rewarded him in advance. Although he was a supplementary official, I'm afraid this favor would be the first time on the ground of the two rivers! "
The topic of the drinkers next to him spread to Huang Huiyun's ears word by word. Listening to those people holding Chen's stips and admiring his encounter, even Huang Huiyun was a little envious of the man's good fortune.
"Good fortune! Even if it's such a good life, it's your turn, I'm afraid I can only feed you to death!"
"Brother Nian, why is this?"
"Why? Now everyone only sees that these two places can give him Chen Moran, and industrial companies, which will earn hundreds of millions of taels of silver in ten years, but they have never thought that several people can have the appetite to swallow these two pieces of fat meat!"
As soon as he heard this, Huang Huiyun listened to it.
"The development of Pudong is to use the momentum of the Bund to build a high bridge to connect the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Regardless of the cost of the industrial company's land acquisition in Pudong, it is the bridge alone. I'm afraid that if there are no millions of taels of silver, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve..."
"Since he dares to eat this bowl of rice, he naturally won't worry about silver. When I came from Shanghai, I heard that the industrial company has been a big deal recently. Not to mention that it has collected more than 10,000 mu of land in Pudong, it has bought more than 40 foreign banks's riverside warehouses in a row, which is beyond my generation! I'm afraid it's just the first merchant of the national dynasty!"
"This way of eating will kill him sooner or later! In Pudong, although the land price is low, it can also cost a hundred taels to hundreds of taels, and it takes millions of taels to build a bridge. I'm afraid it's difficult to get 15 million silver for these two things! Pudong Road, water and electricity all need to be piled up with silver. It can't be done without 30 to 50 million taels!"
Huang Gongyun saw that the businessman in his forties suddenly took a sip of wine, and the man shook his head and sighed again.
"It was he who raised this money and showed his strength in Pudong. Maybe in less than ten years, he could have the wealth of the country. However, Lord Liu handed over the iron ore and iron factory to him again. What was the cost of Mr. Zhang, the governor of Huguang, to run the Hanyang Iron Factory? I'm afraid that there are tens of millions of people. Brother Rentai, even the rich man Chen Moran came back from Jinshan, I'm afraid it's embarrassing to bear such a heavy burden!"
"Brother Nianda, I'm afraid you're too worried. Then Chen Moran will be ahead of Pudong, and Houxing Mine Iron Factory will be behind. He will be able to do these two major events at the same time. He has his own silver, or he may be able to find a way to raise money! Why do you and I need to worry about others? Come on... drink! Drink!"
"The way to raise money? Chen Moran can raise some money!"
When the person who was called "aged" was drinking wine with a pity, Huang Gongyun was excited. The reason why he was excited was not aside, but only because of the sentence "unfunded money" was attracted.
"Hey, have you heard that!"
"Huh?"
"Chen Moran's lame man's leg was broken today!"
"I'm afraid I'll have to turn around in the future!"
Although he has been lying down for a long time, Huang Huiyun has been awake and open his eyes. I'm afraid this is his last chance! It's also the only opportunity. Should I go to someone from that industry company and recommend myself? He is not willing to be a shopkeeper in an ordinary bank.
Huo However, Huang Huiyun found that it was difficult for him to calm down after he heard that industrial companies and industrial companies began to create Pudong Development Company and Jianghuai Road Mine.
"At least 50 million taels!"
Huang Huiyun weighed the number in his heart. He once worked at the Bank of America. He knew that this huge amount of money, let alone Chen Moran, was the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and I'm afraid he couldn't take it out.
"Three years, five years..."
On the desk, Huang Huiyun began to sketch the time for the completion of these projects on the paper.
"Maybe he has 10 million taels in his hand, no! Maybe it's 20 million taels, uh-huh! It also needs to raise at least 30 million taels, and Pudong needs at least 15 million taels in the first year, plus Jianghuai Road Mine, about 20 million taels. His money is only enough for a year, and he has to help him raise at least 10 million taels in the first year..."
Ten years of experience working in a bank in the United States made it only take him a few hours to outline the financing plans one by one. When the sky was clear and the sound of chickens came from outside the house, Huang Huiyun was in arrears. Looking at the thick stack of financing plans on the table, he finally laughed.
Jiangning Christian Hospital next to the Drum Tower, although it is not the first western hospital in Jiangning City, was founded by Marin, a doctor of the Church of England in the 18th year of Guangxu. Although the hospital is not big, everyone knows that in Jiangning City, in addition to the free medical treatment for the poor, the treatment of fractures and other diseases is the first in Jiangning City. One family.
Although Christ Hospital is a church hospital, in addition to the parishioners who come here for treatment, there are also some non-parties who come here to treat diseases, but most of them are poor. However, outside the corridor of the hospital ward, there are several people in dresses and hats standing outside. The appearance of those people makes some patients and their families feel a little tight. Zhang, is there any big man living in this ward?
These people stood in the corridor and walked back and forth, so that even those foreign nuns occasionally cast a few glances. They only knew that a patient was sent yesterday morning, and there were many people who came to see him. Without exception, they were all dressed in silk. They were not dressed in silk, but their faces were also "rich and noble", just like The man who just went in.
Lie down and get sick**, looking at Yan Wenyuan who gave him silver with a smile, Chen Moran pushed the silver ticket back!
"Boss Yan, you're welcome!"
Less idle! Although he scolded in his heart, Yan Wenyuan smiled on his face.
"Mr. Chen, you are a lot of adults. The little old man is just a moment of nonsense. Please don't keep it in mind!"
"Boss Yan, that's what you said!"
Seeing that he still had an advantage and had to take the silver ticket, Chen Moran's face changed.
Yesterday, he sent someone to inquire about it, and then he knew that he had done something wrong that time, so that the whole Jiangning pawnshop knew that the king of Yan had looked at him and let people cheat him of money.
"If it's Boss Yan, take out the silver ticket again, I'm afraid you're really not welcome here!"
I ignored Yan Wenyuan's strange color when he heard this, and Chen Moran went on to say that there was no one in the room, and he didn't feel "disgraceful".
"I think about it, Mr. Yan, you have also heard that I returned to China from Jinshan a few years ago, and I was not afraid of your jokes. When I came to Jiangning a few years ago, I silently played with people behind my backs. As a result, I lost all my money. When I came back, I even broke a leg. If it weren't for that, Mr. Yan, you rely on righteousness and money and were afraid of silence. This more than 100 catties has already been placed in Jiangning, and it still has to be today!"
Chen Moran said half-truthfully. Whether he believed it or not, in short, he wanted to turn this matter over. He was grateful to the person in front of him. In the past, it was, and it is still the same. Without him, there would be no such a silent today.
Yan Wenyuan laughed twice. He would believe that it was strange for the lame, but he also felt that it was probably some allusion.
"This is a ticket!"
Almost as long as he saw the ticket, the expression on Yan Wenyuan's face was complicated, and he had all kinds of feelings in his heart. His reputation in his life fell on this ticket.
"Silently come to Jiangning this time, one is to visit Lord Liu, and the other is to redeem the original pawn, which is not worth the price! It's going to be redeemed!"
"Mr. Chen, you're welcome. You saved the lady's great kindness. The little old man is thinking about how to repay you. When the little old man comes home, he will send things back to you, such as redemption or non-redemption!" At that time, the muscles on Yan Wenyuan's face just twitched gently, which was thirteen thousand taels!
"You're welcome, business in the business field! There must be a rule for everything!"
Chen Moran smiled and waved his hand and took out three stacks of silver coupons from under the pillow.
"This is 30,000 taels! One is to atone for it silently, and the other is to atone for it silently! Mr. Yan, please don't remember his silent mistake!"
This... Ten minutes later, Yan Wenyuan, who was carrying 30,000 taels of silver and two coupons, walked out of the ward and didn't come to his senses.
"I still have poor eyesight after all!"
Yan Wenyuan still shook his head and sighed, and his expression seemed to be more sad than when he came! If there is a medicine for regret, I'm afraid that it is impossible for him to go to Wu Renhe's appointment.
It fell! This is a real failure!
I looked at the "fallen", but I didn't look at the object. I received the object, but I regarded the "fallen" as a liar. It's just right to plant once or twice, but he was born in one person, but he fell twice before and after.
Thinking about this, until he walked out of the hospital, Yan Wenyuan still bowed his head and sighed, looking depressed. Chen squeam... How could he meet this bird in his life!
After Yan Wenyuan went out, Chen Moran just patted his forehead.
"I did this!"
Does Yan Wenyuan care about silver? He may care, but he cares more about face. Last time he cut his face for money, today's redemption seems to make amends, but in fact, he threw his mouth again. He was making amends, and he was clearly talking to him.
"You're always out of sight again!"
It was simply to throw the old fox's most important thing to the ground, and then stepped on his feet fiercely. The door opened with chagrin. It was Zhu Jialiang. After receiving the telegram yesterday, he rushed to Nanjing with several people. When he saw Lin Yuqing, he opened his legs and counted his feet.
"Young master, there is a gentleman named Huang Huiyun outside the ward who wants to see you! He said... If you see this note, you will definitely see him!"
Zhu Jialiang, who entered the house, handed a note to the young master.
"Oh!"
After taking the note, Chen Moran's face changed, and he suddenly smiled.
"Please... No, help me up. I'll invite him in person!"
Chen Moran hurriedly said, regardless of Zhu Jialiang's surprise, and he was about to get up.
The young master's action shocked Zhu Jialiang and quickly pressed him in **.
"Young master, your leg!"
The young master's leg was just taken over yesterday. The foreign doctor can say that as long as the young master does not move for dozens of days, the lame leg will definitely recover as before.
"This leg..."
After being reminded by Zhu Jialiang, Chen Moran realized that although his legs were in plaster, he still needed to rest if he wanted to recover as before. He had long been tired of the man on crutches, but he could not break it cruelly.
"Mr. Huang, please come in!"
After a little hesitation, Chen Moran ordered.
As soon as he entered the ward with his forefoot, Huang Gongyun heard a smile and followed the voice to see Chen Moran sitting in the sick **.
"Brother Huang, I'm really sorry. I wanted to welcome Brother Huang in person, but this leg..."
When Chen Moran smiled, he sighed again.
"Brother Huang, please don't be rude!"
"Mr. Chen said that his righteous act spread all over Jiangning yesterday. How could Huang not know that his leg was broken and he needed to rest. He would allow this sudden visit. Please don't blame Mr. Chen!"
Huang Huiyun smiled and hugged his fist to return the gift. Chen Moran's words made him feel very comfortable. When he was in a good mood, he knew that he was right.
"Brother Huang, please sit down! Jialiang, make tea for Mr. Huang!"
Fingering to the chair in front of the bed, Chen Moran looked polite.
The reason for this is very simple. It's all because of the note. The note handed over by Huang Huiyun has only a few words.
"Sendorse company bonds, run banks, collect funds, and use them!"
No didn't know his "blueprint" and only told a few people. I'm afraid Chen Moran really thought that Huang Huiyun had plagiarized his creativity, but listening to his slightly Cantonese Mandarin, he thought that maybe this person was the person he had always thought he wanted to find.
After the cold noise at the beginning, Huang Huiyun took a sip of tea and looked up at Chen Moran. As if he had made a decision, he took out a file from a Western-style leather bag.
"Mr. Chen, this is Huang Huiyun's resume file!"
He got up and handed the file to Chen Moran, and Huang Huiyun began to introduce himself.
"In the ninth year of Guangxu, Guangxu, he studied in the United States because of his elders. Guangxu was admitted to Harvard Business School in the United States in 11 years and studied finance. Guangxu graduated in 14 years, and then continued to study for a master's degree in finance. Guangxu entered the New York City Bank in 16 years, from the staff to the deputy director of the investment department..."
Although it is just a few words, listening to his resume, Chen Moran can't help but be shocked. Although he has never heard the name of New York City Bank, he also knows that in this few words, the hardship and dedication of ten years of hard work. Being able to work in an important position in such a bank is a manifestation of ability, and he is also a Chinese! Not to mention now, even after 110 years, racial discrimination still affects the employment, promotion and ability of Chinese people in Europe and the United States. If they have the ability, those foreign devils will never let a yellow man instruct white people.
"Then why did you come back?"
"Then why did you come back?"
The two asked each other rhetorically, and then they looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Chen Moran knew that Huang Huiyun had come back. Similarly, Huang Huiyun thought that he had guessed the reason why he returned to China, which was nothing more than one reason.
"Mr. Chen, the current financial industry in China is extremely underdeveloped. The financial industry is divided into banking and Qianzhuang, while banks are controlled by foreigners, and Qianzhuang is short-sighted. In this case, it is extremely difficult for Chinese enterprises to finance. Even Mr. Chen's industrial companies may encounter such problems. It is fair and bold. Today's So I came to visit Mr. Chen just to recommend myself!"
Although he was moved by the person in front of him, Chen Moran smiled and put down the file casually.
"I have read your note, but with these words alone, I'm afraid..."
"Mr. Chen, this is my hasty bank and subsequent corporate financing plan. If Mr. Chen needs it, I can come up with a more specific plan within ten days."
After saying that, Huang Huiyun took out the results of yesterday's overnight struggle from his bag. He stayed up all night for this financing plan. He was confident enough to explain the person in front of him. If he was an ordinary Chinese rich man, he might not have the confidence, but like himself, he returned to China from the United States. He could To understand a lot of things.
What is talent? Chen Moran smiled and looked at the man in front of him and understood that he was trying his best to find a banker. This man sent him to his door. Although he had been sure in his heart that this person was exactly what he needed, Chen Moran would not boldly believe in this person, that is, there were turtles in the returnees in later generations, not to mention at this time. Wait.
"I will see the plan, but you are self-recommended, and you have some capital to recommend yourself!"
"Capital dare not say anything. I can guarantee that in a month, in Jiangning, it will help Pudong develop and raise bonds of no less than 3 million silver subsidiary bonds!"
Huang Huiyun said confidently that although he was not from Jiangning, he was very confident that he could sell it.
"Oh!"
Chen Moran raised his eyebrows. Although there was no change on his face, he was a little moved. Although the people in the company had begun to sell corporate bonds and were ready to advertise in the newspaper in a few days, they didn't sell much in the past few days, just tens of thousands of taels.
"Then I'll give you a month. If you can sell three million taels of corporate bonds, I will give you the position of industrial bank manager!"
