Chapter 89 Liu Shilun's gift!

The weather in July is long and the nights are short, and the dawn is early. The morning sun shines the crimson light all over the beach.

When Shanghai woke up from the dawn, Chen Moran got up early. After washing up, he had breakfast in the restaurant while waiting for Xiao Yuren. After a while, Xiao Yuren, who was still owed, came to the restaurant. As the manager of the company, he was far from as relaxed as Chen Moran's shopkeeper.

Although industrial companies have recruited a lot of people, in this start-up period, it is often the time when the operators need to make the greatest efforts, but Xiao Yiren can never expect Chen Moran, as the boss, to ask about these things.

"You had a good sleep! I woke you up before I wanted to sleep! Last night, I promised to stay up until three o'clock. The matter of the bank has been settled. It will open on the eighth day of August, and the registered capital is 10 million taels!"

Xiao Yuren, with red eyes, sat at the table and complained, but he was not interested in the breakfast on the table. He just drank a glass of boiled water.

"Ten million taels, the Chinese bank with the strongest capital in Shanghai, the capital of Tongshang Bank is only 8 million taels. It is agreed that there is no need to register too much capital for the time being, and it can absorb capital in an annual increase. After all, in the future, our bank will attract new shareholders, and some shareholders can't be pushed away!"

After the boiled water faded away from the discomfort in his throat, Xiao Yuren stretched out. From five months ago, he entered the industrial company, not only the "selling body" industry, but also lost his life to the industrial company.

When he spoke, he gave Chen Moran a blank look.

"My young master Chen, you also have pity on me. Although there is a tough character in this name, the iron man can't stand such a toss. This week, I don't sleep as much as you do in a day. Otherwise, you can give me a day off and let me have a good sleep. In this way, you read that I have no credit. For the sake of hard work, let me work for a day!"

Xiao Yu's complaint caused Chen Moran to just smile.

"My comrade, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!"

After saying that, he realized that he had made a mistake. He actually quoted a sentence more than 20 years later. He smiled helplessly in his heart and looked at Xiao Yujin's red rabbit-like eyes. "Then, smoke a cigarette first to refresh yourself!"

Chen Moran threw him a cigar.

"I just smoke occasionally! It's uncomfortable to smoke in the morning!"

Put the cigar on the table, and Xiao Yuyu shook his head.

"Twenty years of surpassing the United Kingdom and catching up with the United States. Now it's just the beginning. Didn't I say that we will be busy in the future? I'm not a professional. You're not a professional. We don't need to do everything in person. For a boss, the most important thing is to find the right person and assign the work to them, just like an agreement. You see, you don't need to care about the bank. He is a professional, and that's what our industrial company needs. "Special talent!"

Chen Moran put on his way of employing people. In fact, this is nothing new. In those institutions in later generations, several leaders are really "professional", but lay leaders and insiders. Some people can do their work well, while others can't, and the reasons are very simple.

"For lay leaders and laypeople, what I'm most afraid of is that laypeople are there!"

"I'm a layman!"

Xiao Yuren almost blurted out a sentence.

"Yes, you are a non-human!"

"Non-human, I know, and I understand!"

Chen Moran shook his head and continued.

"I said the reason why I chose you. At least now you are more appropriate to start an industrial company than those insiders. The talents needed by industrial companies can be hired and hired, but those talents may not be persistent. What we need now is determination and perseverance to run a company and a business. This is what they don't have. I choose Choose you!"

He stared at Xiao Yu's toughness, and Chen Moran continued to speak with a very serious expression.

"You are a soldier with perseverance and perseverance that they don't have. That's why I chose you. When we run a business in China now, we need to face a bad environment that can't be compared with any country. There are full squeezes and harsh taxes inside, competitive oppression from other countries, and such a bad business environment. If you don't have enough perseverance, it will be difficult to stick to it. I believe this!"

Chen Moran's expression was very serious when he spoke. This seriousness made Xiao Yuren speechless. He looked at Chen Moran and couldn't help sighing.

"However, my mouth will never talk about you. I've even sold my life to you. If you work overtime, you can work overtime!"

"Overtime? There is no need for that at all!"

Chen Moran shook his head.

"As I said, you are a leader. You just need to assign the right job to the right person. The only thing you need is to control the overall situation of the whole company! When they encounter setbacks, tell them that you won't be discouraged and you won't retreat, just like leading troops to fight. Several marshals and generals are on the battlefield in person, but who can deny the role of the general!"

When he spoke, there was a smile on the corners of Chen Moran's lips, and he looked at Xiao Yuren as if he was waiting for him to speak.

"Our company is only built for the first time. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and we always need to pay more energy! Even the general is the same!"

Xiao Yujin nodded and shook his head. Chen Moran had his way of using people in the world, and he also had his persistence. At the end, he looked at Chen Moran again.

"However, as you said, the layman can't insist too much on the inside. I think at least after our company is set up, I don't need to be as hard as it is now! Mingzhe is a good businessman, that is... his surname..."

"The surname is too cowardly, the defense is more than enough, and the attack is not enough. He is the role of the guard, which is not suitable for the company's expansion. Now this environment is not suitable for him!"

After taking the towel handed over by the maid, Chen Moran wiped his hands, and then walked towards the living room on crutches.

"Mingzhe, the reason why I let him be in charge of the Jianghuai Road Mine is because of his surname. On the one hand, he is suitable for dealing with people in officialdom. On the other hand, there are Liangjiang Governor's Office in the back, and it is much easier to do local things. At least he doesn't have to face these foreigners like in Pudong!"

After dinner, a cigarette, a living fairy, took out a cigarette from the gold cigarette box on the table, stuffed the cigarette into the mouth of the cigarette, and took a deep breath after lighting the cigarette. The cigarette holder worth hundreds of yuan did not have a trace of smell, but only the mellow fragrance of tobacco.

"From the day the news of the industrial company's development of Pudong, it can be said that we have become the eyes of those foreigners. For British and American consuls and even the vast majority of British, American businessmen and French businessmen, our move is nothing. There are some foreign banks and even happy. After all, for them, the development of Pudong will bring them millions of profits. Before the completion of our glass factory, the flat glass factory in Shanghai was far from meeting our needs. This alone is millions of businesses, elevators, wires, motors, etc. In the face of these door-to-door businesses, they naturally I'll be happy to see it!"

Put the cigarette on the ashtray, and Chen Moran shook off the ash of the cigarette butt.

"But not everyone will be happy to see it. There are three types of businessmen in the concession or three types of foreign banks! One is mainly engaged in the sale of industrial products in China, and the other is mainly the purchase of primary agricultural and mineral products in China. The last category is composed of a group of the most greedy people, and these most greedy people control the concession!"

"The most greedy?"

"Jewish! A group of people are known for their greed. For them, they have never had profits and no conscience. It can be rude to say that the surname in the bones of the Jews is simply a combination of all the capital evils!"

Looking out of the window disdainfully, there is a Jewish community in Shanghai one or two kilometers away.

"After Shanghai was opened to the outside world as China's five-port trade port, Jews from all over the world came. Most of them are Jewish merchants from Mesobota, the Sephardi family in Baghdad, the Youkali family, the Abraham family, the Ezra family, the Solomon family, the Sofu family, the Ge Pei family, etc. Most of these Jewish families have British nationality, so they have extraterritorial protection, and also have foreign People's privileges!"

Inhaling two mouthfuls of cigarettes, Chen Moran pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray.

"These Jewish businessmen, after coming to Shanghai, said that they became rich by their own hard work, but I want to say bullshit. Before the Opium War, they were involved in the opium trade, especially after the opening of Shanghai! After they arrived in Shanghai, they immediately devoted themselves to the most profitable opium trade, and then benefited from the opium trade and engaged in the housing and land industry. Most of them were engaged in the "two soils", that is, "smoky soil" and "earth". Although they gradually expanded to foreign trade, public utilities, finance, manufacturing and other fields, the two soils The huge profits are what they pursue and cannot be abandoned. The huge amount of black gold in the tobacco soil gives them capital to use in the real estate market, which has been pushing up real estate prices for decades.

When Chen Moran mentioned those merchants, a trace of anger flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. The reason was very simple. In the past few months, in the process of collecting land in Pudong, the price had been offered 400 yuan per mu, but those merchants were unwilling to sell their warehouses, and even snapped up with industrial companies in Pudong. The land has cost industrial companies millions of dollars.

"In the public and French concessions, nearly 80% of the real estate belongs to these Jewish merchants, and they have always held a policy of renting but not selling. The method of searching for money is almost shocking. Like that Hatong, as a complete foreigner, Hatong actually collects rent according to the lunar calendar, just to charge an extra month every three years. Earn more silver dollars. On the land of those Jews, even if they set up a small stall, they have to pay rent. The tobacco soil is the source of their fortune, but the land of housing is their lifeblood. A Jew in Europe wrote a book, saying that capitalism came to the world with dirty blood and dirty things dripping from head to toe. In fact, this sentence is right to describe Jews, at least the Jewish merchants in Shanghai!"

I didn't contact those merchants who didn't know their sins. In the past, Chen Moran may have a little sympathy for those people, but after seeing what those people did in the concession, he could only say that they deserved it!

"The merchants came to Shanghai, and every sweaty pores from head to toe were dripping with dirty blood and dirty things!"

His cold eyes were raised out of the window, and Chen Moran stood up.

"It can be said that they are in Pudong and us. It is expected that the real estate capital of these Jewish merchants in the concession adds up to more than 500 million yuan. Pudong's development is bound to affect the housing prices and land prices in the concession. For those greedy Jewish merchants, this impact is undoubtedly equivalent to a knife in their hearts!"

"Yes, they are not only greedy, but also vicious. Those Jewish merchants competed with us in Pudong to raise prices, while selling some land to us through others. The land that can be sold is either empty or empty, but we have to take over. Pudong is dispensable for them, but for us But it's different. The working capital of Shanghai Youshang is more than 100 million. If you are so tough, it's an industrial company that will suffer losses in the end!"

He could no longer restrain the angry Xiao Jianren, almost gritting his teeth and talking about those Jewish merchants. If he could, he couldn't even want to kill all the damn Jewish merchants with one knife.

"It's not a day of their cunning, and the exclusion in Europe is not without reason. This kind of greed can't plunder all the wealth in the world, but it will never repay those people. Naturally, they won't be liked by people. If you like them or not, you always have to face them!"

Compared with Xiao Yiren's anger, Chen Moran was worried about whether those Jews would be brewing any conspiracy.

"These people indulge in the public director bureau of the concession, which directly affects the decisions of the Ministry of Industry. The cross-border road construction of public and French concessions is rooted in the pursuit of real estate profits by Jewish merchants!"

"What conspiracy will they have?"

"I don't know! If they don't do anything, I'm afraid it's abnormal.

One sentence only made the eyebrows of Chen Moran and Xiao Yuren suddenly condensed together. The interference of foreigners was a threshold that they could not pass in Pudong. Now everyone knows what they were going to do, but they did not know what those Jewish merchants were going to do. This kind of powerlessness only made them feel a little helpless.

After smoking until a cigarette was finished, Chen Moran's eyes were suddenly full of confidence.

"Don't talk about this. If those people want to intervene in Pudong, they have to weigh their teeth first! Damn, the whole thing is a group of disgusting things. In the future, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. Just deal with it carefully!"

He said this with his mouth, but he was sneering in the bottom of his heart, as if laughing at those people. The rabbit was anxious and bit him to death. At that time... sneered, Chen Moran took out a letter from the table.

"Wei Yang, this was sent by Liu Shilun yesterday. He said that he had the weapons we wanted to buy, and he didn't have them!"

Although Chen Moran gave Liu Shilun a lot of wealth, he did not go to Germany with Hu Nianzu. Heisenberg, the manager of the foreign bank, went directly with Hu Nianzu and his party. However, Liu Shilun has always felt that Chen Moran and the industrial company's "carry point". Now as long as Chen Moran has any instructions, he will be switly with just a phone call. It's done.

"This Liu Shilun, he just forgives the password!"

"No, it's not. Last night, he made it clear on the phone. Now there is one in the Eight Kingdoms of the Council that prohibits the Qing Dynasty from importing ordnance and ordnance production equipment for two years. The manager of Lihe Yangxing was dismissed for selling ordnance to Zhang Zhidong privately! In the warehouse of Lihe Yanghang, there is a backlog of ordnance!"

"It seems that Liu Shilun doesn't want to help?"

Picked up the tea cup on the table and swallowed a mouthful of tea. He shook his head and said slowly.

"It's not that he doesn't want to help, but... he definitely can't sell us the backlog of ordnance!"

He frowned slightly. Xiao Yujin didn't expect that today's things would not go so well. Unexpectedly, even this kind of thing that can be done with money is competing here.

"Without guns, our mine protection team can't let them carry big knives and spears! However, if we can't buy it at their place, we have to find a way from the governor's office. He is in the office of the two arms manufacturing bureaus. Buy some first and make do with it first.

"But he didn't say no to sell!"

Chen Moran said with a smile, and then sat forward.

"Wei Yang, don't you know that Liu Shilun now hates Heisenberg to the point where he can't wait to eat his bones?"

At this time, Chen Moran suddenly lowered his voice again, as if he was afraid that people would hear him, and the distance from Xiao Xiao's toughness was updated.

"Liu Shilun's buyer has been suppressed by Heisenberg. Why did Heisenberg kick him away and take Nianzu and others to Germany? It is clear that he is familiar with Germany, but to put it bluntly, he wants to compete with Liu Shilun for 2% of the maid, but Liu Shilun may be greedy for money. What he cares more is not the money, but the foreign bank alone. The opportunity."

Stretching out and lying on the back of the sofa, Chen Moran laughed. Liu Shilun said it very clearly in his letter last night.

"Li and some people intend to open another branch in Qingdao or North China. Originally, Germany meant that as long as Liu Shilun got a large order, this position would belong to him. Originally, if he went to Germany this time, he would directly contact the mind of Lihe's headquarters. As the founder of the Qingdao branch, it can be said to be a board. Ding Ding, but now Heisenberg has inserted a bar from it, which shattered his dream!"

"In foreign banks, Chinese buyers and large classes have not stopped disputes over interests for decades. Not to mention Liu Shilun, in these ten foreign banks in Shanghai, at least eight Chinese buyers have opinions on the large classes. Otherwise, our industrial company will not be able to invite so many people."

Xiao Qi's face was a little uncomfortable. His second brother was the buyer. He was always angry with the big class. When he returned home, he could only take his anger on his sister-in-law. The buyer seemed to be glorious. Only they knew the helplessness and bitterness inside.

Chen Moran laughed.

"I don't care if there is any contradiction between them, but Liu Shilun gave me something!"

With the hand waving the letter, Chen Moran's face was full of smiles and joy in his heart.

"That Liu Shilun told me that last year, when Heisenberg came to take office from Germany, he used a French ship to privately bring a batch of arms, using etiquette and foreign customs. Those arms have now been pressed in a warehouse rented in the name of Heisenberg's servants. The warehouse... outside the concession!"

Looking at Chen Moran suspiciously, Xiao Yiren immediately understood Liu Shilun's meaning and Chen Moran's thoughts.

"You mean that there is a batch of arms in the warehouse in China, and... Liu Shilun told you that this is to let you..."

"You want me to steal it!"

Chen Moran smiled, but Xiao Yiren didn't smile. Naturally, he would not believe that there was such a cheap good thing in the world.

"Are you sure there is no conspiracy in the middle!"

"Black and white words, if Liu Shilun fools us, his letter will be enough for him to fall in with us, and if he does it well, we can get out, but he can't get out!"

Say with a smile, Chen Moran knew the reason why Liu Shilun wrote this letter yesterday. He wanted to take the letter from himself, and then he handed the letter to Xiao Yuren.

"This Liu Shilun is a little interesting!"

After carefully looking at the letter in his hand and confirming that it was Liu Shilun's handwriting, Xiao Yuren smiled and had some questions.

"If this is Heisenberg's private arms, he must have sold them as soon as he took office. These private goods of the foreign class were all sold at the first time, but why hasn't he sold them until now!"

"Speaking of which, we should thank Heisenberg. That man has never been to the Far East, so he regards China as Africa. In order to earn more money, he brought not a Mauser gun, but a batch of guns from the Shatrow State-owned Light Weapons Factory in France."

At this time, Chen Moran is quite proud of himself. What does "good fate and good fruit" mean? Isn't it now?

"This batch was Mosinagan 1891, which Russia asked the Shatrow Light Weapons Factory to build eight or nine years ago. Heisenberg almost seemed to have picked it up, but he just didn't expect that those governors didn't want anything that were not famous at all. They only recognized was Mauser in their eyes! No, isn't it going to be cheaper for us now?"

"Russian gun!"

Xiao Yuren frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel unhappy. There was nothing to be happy about the Russian gun itself.

"Let's make do with it! It's better to have something than nothing!"

"No, it's not bad. Besides, it's a typical Russian-made weapon - cheap, simple, reliable, simple and reliable to use, and doesn't need much maintenance. The Russian army is a group of gray animals. They are undertrained and uneducated. They can't make too complex weapons. We don't do it. That's it!"

Chen Moran is not happy at all. After all, according to the information of later generations, this kind of rough and simple rifle may be the most accurate one among military rifles. What's more, you can't buy anything else at all now.

"How many guns did Heisenberg bring in total!"

He didn't say anything, Chen Moran just stretched out his hand.

"Five hundred shots!"

"You are a typical look down on people! You know, Heisenberg is the manager of Lihe!"
