Chapter 148 New Concession and 200 million yuan of real estate business

Concession.

Some people say it is humiliation, but in this chaotic world, the concession is the only refuge of national industry and the refuge of national newspapers and revolutionary ideas.

In China in this era, if there is another place where Hu Chuyuan can find the feeling of being a man, then there is really only the concession.

If he wants to continue to fight with Li Hongzhang on Zhili's territory, the small concession can't support him. He needs a bigger stage, a stage that makes Li Hongzhang unable to intervene, which is enough for him to use.

21740 mu of land. In the countryside, it is only 21,740 mu of land, that is, half of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Compared with a big town like Nanxun, it is less than 1/5 of Nanxun Town.

But once these lands become concessions, the average land price per mu will rise to tens of thousands of yuan, which can be converted into a real estate market of 200 million yuan.

Hu Chuyuan is a person who can do big business. As long as he invests tens of millions of yuan to rectify and sort out these areas, invest in factories, and stir up popularity, the backhand will be a return of hundreds of millions of yuan. He can also protect the development space of the Guardian and the national industry for a long time, and preemptive development of Tianjin Port.

This business is cost-effective.

As for how Li Hongzhang wants to betray the country for glory, he is too lazy to care.

After negotiating the debt issue, Hu Chuyuan continued to be the general office of his Jiangnan Commercial Bank. The court had removed his official position and given him a false reputation as a Jiangxi political envoy.

He doesn't care at all. Now even if he is asked to be the governor of Jiangsu, he doesn't want to do it.

The world is so ridiculous, and China is so absurd that he, a latecomer, can't imagine it at all, and even has an inconceivable sense, as if everything is just a dream.

These are the reality.

When he took the identity of a fake foreigner and really blackmailed the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty did not dare to talk to him. Now he really began to protect him, did not hesitate to cut off the diplomatic relations with Japan that had never been normal, and banned him from entering China.

In the Shanghai concession, due to Hu Chuyuan's special surname, the British and American public concessions and the French concessions also implement strict control policies on themselves.

In addition, Dongli Yangxing was eradicated by Hu Chuyuan's secret, and the youth gang and Zhejiang bandits were fiercely killed by Fuqingshe for a while. At this stage, it was really difficult for me to get close to Hu Chuyuan.

Yanyuan.

Hu Mansion.

In the hot summer, it rarely rained heavily in Shanghai. The weather was cool. Hu Chuyuan opened the window of the study and sat in the room reading.

The drastic changes in life made him have a lot of feelings about life. He just played with antiques and built some gardens, which was far from satisfying his yearning for life. He began to read Whitman's poetry.

Sometimes, he also reads Jane Austen's love novels.

However, he prefers Dickens' novels, which are simple, humorous and full of the adventurous spirit of strange little people.

Sometimes, he even wants to write a few novels himself.

Reading is a good relief, which can make him forget the changes in time and space and simply immerse himself in a fantasy space.

When he saw Caroline slandering Elizabeth in order to marry Darcy, he was so angry that he really wanted to slap the woman named Caroline in the face.

In good spirits, Wu Shuzhen knocked on the door interestingly and deliberately asked loudly, "Hey, is anyone there?"

Hu Chuyuan replied lazily, "I'm here!"

Wu Shuzhen opened the door, but brought in a very beautiful little girl, wearing a beautiful silk dress and black and bright black hair, which was quite fashionable.

Hu Chuyuan took a curious look and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. He asked Wu Shuzhen, "Is it your relative?"

Wu Shuzhen smiled gently and sat down and said, "Yes, this child's name is Wu Jenny. Grandma Wu Wu is my father's biological sister. She is my cousin and niece. This time she is back to China to play for a while."

Hu Chuyuan said casually, take a closer look at this cousin named Jenny Wu.

She is indeed a very beautiful and lovely girl. She looks fifteen or sixteen years old, with big eyes and long eyelashes, like a doll.

Looking at her, Hu Chuyuan and Wu Shuzhen said, "Os, you can take her to Shanghai these days. You can also take her to Hangzhou. Hangzhou is much more fun than Shanghai."

However, Jenny Wu fell in love with the book in Hu Chuyuan's hand and suddenly became very happy. She smiled and said, "Little uncle, you are also reading such a girl's book. I'm so happy. It seems that I have found a book friend!"

"This...?"

Hu Chuyuan was ashamed for a while, and the most ashamed was to be called "little uncle". Although several grandchildren of the fourth master's family were also called uncles, those children were still young, and they could get married.

Wu Shuzhen smiled and said, "He likes to read Dickens' novels, which I forced him to read."

Jenny Wu didn't seem to mind. She continued to ask Hu Chuyuan, "Do you like to watch it?"

Hu Chuyuan sighed bitterly, looked at Wu Shuzhen and said, "Can you not like it?"

Wu Shuzhen couldn't help giggling proudly and said, "It's best if you like it. In fact, I think Miss Austin's best book is Emma. You must read it more carefully. Anyway, you are very leisurely during this period and have nothing to do."

Jenny Wu smiled and said, "Then let's organize a Jane Austen Book Club. Maybe this is still the first one in Shanghai. Well, it must be a creation!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said casually, "You are playing in Shanghai this day. I don't have time to accompany you... In this way, I will arrange others to lead you around."

Jenny Wu smiled and said, "Little uncle, I always hear from my father that you are the richest man in China. Now I am also going to MT.Holyoke Women's College. I want to study law. I will come to be your secretary when I graduate. However, I want a high salary... You know, we girls spend a lot of money!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled casually and didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he was his junior. He said whatever he liked.

He picked up the phone and called Pan Limei, the general ledger, asked Pan Limei to come over, and gave Pan Limei a cheque of 1,000 yuan, and asked her to accompany Wu Jenny to play in the Shanghai Concession for the past two days.

He thought that both of them were quite young girls and should be more talkative.

Jenny Wu was also quite happy to get a check of 1,000 yuan so easily. She kissed the check and praised happily, "It's still my little uncle who loves me. Well, I'll play for a few days first."

After saying this, she skillfully pulled Pan Limei out.

Hu Chuyuan couldn't help but think that this girl was very funny. When she ran away, she sighed with Wu Shuzhen, "Look, we are already aunts. It's really old!"

Hearing this, Wu Shuzhen couldn't help laughing.

She sat next to Hu Chuyuan, naturally put her arms around his neck, closed her eyes silently, and enjoyed the quiet time after the rain.

The big storm is finally over.

Although Hu Chuyuan lost his official position in the court, at least he did not lose his last name, and his family business was also saved.

As long as they lived in the Shanghai Concession, the Qing court did not dare to think about them. As long as Hu Chuyuan was still alive, the Qing court would no longer think about Jiangnan Commercial Bank and CITIC Bank.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help asking Hu Chuyuan again: "Do you think there will be a problem with the business of Jiangnan Commercial Bank in the future, and will the court wear small shoes for us?"

Hu Chuyuan replied cautiously, "This is not the same. Moreover, whether the business of Jiangnan Commercial Bank can do well or not depends on the Fujian and Zhejiang Yamen and Liangjiang Yamen. The court may not be able to control it."

Wu Shuzhen nodded slightly, but said, "Lord Zuo Zongtang seems to be very angry about your American citizenship, because he values you too much, and you have American citizenship. His reputation has also been greatly frustrated. He has been suppressed by Li Hongzhang for the past six months."

Hu Chuyuan said, "This will not be a big deal. There will be some problems for the time being, and it will be solved in the future. He needs money. I have money. This is a fact that will never change.

Wu Shuzhen smiled and suddenly said, "Marrying such a powerful man like you is really a wonderful life."

Hu Chuyuan smiled.

At this time, Chen Shanyuan hurried in to report, but did not knock on the door. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Hu Chuyuan and Wu Shuzhen... He hurriedly turned his back and said, "Dong, Li Jingfang came and said that there were 100,000 urgent things to discuss with you!"

Hu Chuyuan let go of his hand and let Wu Shuzhen sit next to him.

He thought for a moment, but said coldly, "Why do you think of me again at this time? Tell him that I'm sick and I'm not a guest for the time being."

Chen Shanyuan laughed and ran out again.

Hu Chuyuan really doesn't want to see Li Jingfang.

Li Hongzhang's family are all bad people who have cut off their children and grandchildren. Here, they talked about cooperation with Hu Chuyuan, and the other side secretly plotted him with me.

It's all right now...!

Hu Chuyuan lost his official position, Li Hongzhang's reputation was also lost, and he also lost a handful of silver... When Beiyang Bank collapsed, so many shares were ruined, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

Hu Chuyuan didn't want to see Li Jingfang, so he picked up Pride and Prejudice to continue reading. Wu Shuzhen pulled a chair and sat beside him and watched with him.

She has seen it dozens of times. She is familiar with her chest and smiles while watching. She is not in a hurry at all.

After a while, Chen Shanyuan ran in again and sighed, "No, Li Jingfang refused to leave. He said that if he couldn't see the owner today, he would lay on the floor in the hall at night."

?

What does this mean?

Hu Chuyuan felt a little bored, so he nodded and said, "Let him in!"

Chen Shanyuan is also very annoying, and he especially wants to beat Li Jingfang.

If it hadn't been for Li Hongzhang's tricks behind his back, Hu Chuyuan would still be the Minister of Ship Administration in Fuzhou. How majestic he was. He followed him and could go back to Fuqing's hometown from time to time.
