Chapter 175 New Threats from Japan, France and Russia

After Zhang Zhidong left Shanghai, Hu Chuyuan sent a telegram to Li Hongzhang, telling Li Hongzhang that he would secretly donate 20 million yuan to build Weihai Port, which was funded by CITIC Bank, guaranteed by Shandong Governor Yamen, and also handled by Shandong Governor Yamen.

As for the funding of the Beiyang Mariners, he personally donated one million yuan first to talk about the emergency, and we will talk about it later.

Li Hongzhang soon got the telegram, but when he looked at it like this, he really couldn't laugh or be angry.

He didn't like it in his heart. He finally seized the opportunity to sneak Hu Chuyuan once, but he didn't expect that Hu Chuyuan was very cunning... Since he claimed that he was in a hurry to use money, he would donate one million yuan for emergency first.

Since he said that Hu Chuyuan was unkind, Hu Chuyuan invested 20 million yuan in him, which solved a very big hidden danger in his heart.

The question is... Does Li Hongzhang really lack this million yuan? Well, he finally saw a huge sum of 20 million yuan, which is good. It's cheap for Zhang Zhidong in vain.

Even if these things are done, the credit will be recorded in Zhang Zhidong's name.

This matter is tossing... After thinking about it, Li Hongzhang can only say: Hu Chuyuan, your boy is too cruel, isn't he?

At this time, in Shanghai, Hu Chuyuan quietly changed Shanghai Wells Fargo Investment Bank Company from U.S. capital to Chinese capital, and transferred part of the capital to Wells Fargo Investment Bank Company in Hong Kong, including the most ** shares of HSBC and the shares of France.

In terms of capital, there are few people in China who are more sensitive than Hu Chuyuan.

Aware of the change in the overall environment, Hu Chuyuan quickly transferred the shares held by CITIC Company in Jiangnan Commercial Bank to the new Shanghai Wells Fargo Investment Bank Company, and reorganized some of Wanqi Yang Bank's industrial shares in the Shanghai Concession and Wanqi Technology Bureau into Wells Fargo Industry Holding Company, and set up a new Wells Fargo Industry under the company. Technology Research and Development Bureau.

At this point, Wanqi Yanghang has officially begun to move to a new page, from the king of foreign banks in China to Kang Caien of petrochemicals, from the upstream oil wells, coal mines, the exploitation of raw materials, the basic chemical industry in the middle, and the subsequent household chemical industry, medicine, chemical fertilizers, etc., and at the appropriate time to merge and reorganize a reading company. Medium-sized financial institutions have completed the transformation of the whole Kangcaien system.

In the Shanghai Concession, they will operate their own brands.

There have been new changes in the Wells Fargo Department. The Wells Fargo Department is not only a huge financial group, but also a technology research and development, transfer and holding company. It absorbs new technologies and develops new technologies on a global scale. While developing domestic production, it also uses the operation of the global market to reasonably transfer technology to new ones. Revitalise the market.

After the rich country department completed this transformation, Jiangnan Commercial Bank and other businesses could only be his vassals.

After all, Hu Chuyuan's business mind is ahead of this era. In different environments, he quickly designed a new business system to deal with it and get the greatest profits and returns.

So, he is a born businessman, just like Zhang Zhidong is a born politician.

The affairs of the imperial court also need to be done.

The Prime Minister's Senior Affairs Jiangnan Yamen is officially located in Wusong Town. On the surface, in order to save money, the Yamen is simple to do it. In fact, all the real power affairs are set up in the garden.

Yongyuan currently covers an area of 78 mu, more than 54 mu more than three years ago. Considering the safety issue, it is surrounded by a castle-style outer wall similar to the West, with four towers.

A large-scale Fuguo Villa has been built behind the Yihua Pavilion. At present, only a small half of it has been built, corresponding to Jinxiu Villa. It adopts Baroque architecture, gradually changes to Loloco style, and finally integrates into the Chinese and Western style of Jinxiu Villa.

A Siwei Fort has been added between the two reading villas of Fuguo and Jinxiu, Hu Mansion and Yihua Pavilion, which is mainly the place where the guards are stationed. It is also the command post of the security work of the whole Yaongyuan, and there is a bunker below.

From the revival of Goth, to Baroque, Loroco, and then to the traditional Ming and Qing-style Jiangnan gardens, the style of the Song and Yuan Dynasties finally evolved. The style of the garden is unique in the whole style change and transition, which is also the reason why the garden dares to be called the first garden in the south of the Yangtze River.

Of course, the cost is surprising.

After the gradual completion of Fuguo Villa, according to the prior plan, the back hall of Hu Mansion will no longer be used as a collection, and all antique relics and works of art will be transferred to Fuguo Villa.

After further expansion, the back hall will become a new residence hall, and Hu Chuyuan will move here with his family.

At this stage, Hu Chuyuan bought the Li family garden on the east side of the next door, which originally belonged to the Li family in Zhenhai, Ningbo. As the real actual office location of the Prime Minister's government office, all bureaus of the government office work there, and it is also the garrison of the government office under the battalion.

He has also negotiated with the public concession on the issues that may be involved here, and there will be no trouble.

In order to ensure the real power of the Prime Minister's government in the local government, and also as a reward for Hu Chuyuan's concessions to the high-level power of the Qing Empire, Prince Gong Yi
