Chapter 273 Everyone has money

Back in Shanghai, Hu Chuyuan finally knew what "leisure" was like for a long time.

He is back. The big ship "Fukang Company" can also sail out of the world's business sea again. Naturally, it still needs to be stable now.

Hu Chuyuan, his idea has always been very direct. Since everyone is playing capitalism, let him be an example of Chinese capitalists and control everything in the world.

There is nothing wrong, as long as you can use enough means to hide everything behind the capital without trace.

For example, Hu Yuyuan is now preparing dozens of foundations and subsidiaries of the Fukang department.

Hu Chuyuan was ready for everything he needed, and just waited for his eldest brother to return to Shanghai. The two brothers joined hands to draw a strange pattern in the commercial history of China and the world.

Second brother?

Hu Pinyuan is still continuing to be his official, but he has been transferred from the Minister of Culture and Education to the Minister of Transport. The construction and operation of railways, highways, ports and waterways are all under his jurisdiction. Naturally, it is the fat difference in the fat.

Everyone is relieved, because he will never embezzle.

Back in Shanghai, Hu Chuyuan finally became leisurely. He took care of his wife and children at home every day, helped his wives Wu Shuzhen and Pan Limei come up with some ideas, read newspapers for several young sons, talked about the world, and started their ambitions.

It's already April in a flash. Yanjing... The new cabinet members have been determined. Although almost all of these people were determined by Hu Chuyuan in advance, after all, in nominal and in real power, they really belong to Qu Hongji's cabinet.

Shanghai in April is warm, the weather is sunny, and there are signs of heat at any time.

The sun shone in the courtyard of Jinxiu Villa. Hu Chuyuan sat leisurely on the rattan chair in the corridor, swaying, closing his eyes, and humming in his mouth that it was neither a Peking Opera nor a strange tune of a popular song.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

He hummed like this, enjoying the fun and calmness of this moment. About life, about the future, he has long been satisfied, those things that he needs decades to complete in his life... Great careers, leave them to others.

At such a time, Miss Qiu Jin's words always ring in Hu Chuyuan's heart from time to time, affecting Hu Chuyuan's decision-making from time to time.

He couldn't help thinking about the issue of common prosperity.

Hu Daqin, the housekeeper, led a man over with a thick stack of books in his hand.

Time flies.

Zheng Xitai, Lu Sanyuan, Ye Tongguang, Gu Shouzang, Hu Dazong, Zhuang Jiaxian, Hu Baosong... Those general shopkeepers, the four major shopkeepers in the heyday of the Hu family have successively withdrawn from the business sea.

Zheng Xitai has long been a 68-year-old old man. He died of tuberculosis in Shanghai Tongji Hospital a few years ago. Ye Tongguang and Gu Shouzang also died. Lu Sanyuan retired and returned to Nanxun, Huzhou for retirement.

Now there are still four people in charge of the head of the Hu family, Lu Xigui, Li Enfu, Cheng Daye and Cao Maoxiang.

All four of them are young children studying in the United States funded by Hu Chuyuan in their early years. Everyone's growth experience is roughly the same. Now they can be regarded as not only the general manager, but also senior partners of several major companies under Fukang Company.

Among these four people, because Cheng Daye is from Huizhou, he is relatively more valued by the Hu family. Now he is not only one of the four general manager, but also serves as the general manager of the general account.

Cheng Daye held the general ledger book of the new statistics and walked quickly with Hu Daqin. When he came to Hu Chuyuan's side, he didn't even dare to breathe.

Hu Daqin asked Hu Chuyuan in a low voice, "Sir, the accounts have been made clear."

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and continued to close his eyes to refresh himself. After a while, he said, "Butler, go and move a chair for Mr. Cheng and sit down. I have something to ask him."

"Yes!"

Hu Daqin replied respectfully and quietly turned around to do things.

After Hu Rong's death, Hu Chuyuan has been sponsoring several children of his family to study and work. Some of them rely on their relationships and others have learned well. Hu Daqin, even the best one, is not smart. He is better than diligence and loyalty. After returning from studying abroad, he has been working as an instructor at Huizhou Business School, and later promoted to logistics director. .

Such a person seems to be very condescending to be a housekeeper.

However, Hu Chuyuan wants people like Hu Daqin, and Hu Daqin is also very happy.

Cheng Daye is another kind of person.

Over the years, the Hu family's business has been made up by Hu Yuyuan, and the four chief shopkeepers are all pulled out by Hu Yuyuan in one hand.

Now, these things have to be decided by Hu Chuyuan again, and Cheng Daye is inevitably a little nervous.

After working in CITIC Bank and rich Asian countries for so many years, Cheng Daye has rarely stood so close to Hu Chuyuan. Thinking of Hu Chuyuan's extraordinary identity and status, even people like Cheng Daye are also trembling and scared.

Hu Chuyuan felt it, but he didn't care. When the chair was moved, he asked Cheng Daye to sit down, and he himself opened the general ledger and browsed it carefully.

The Hu family has long been compared with the past. The general ledger book is divided into five parts: Asian rich countries, CITIC Bank, Jiangnan Commercial Bank, CITIC Society and miscellaneous departments. Asian rich countries are the king of industry, CITIC Bank is the king of finance, Jiangnan Commercial Bank is the king of commercial banks, and CITIC Society is the king of agricultural industry. The four major companies also hold shares respectively. Other companies, banks, commercial banks and agricultural cooperatives in various provinces.

The miscellaneous part contains more and more miscellaneous things, mainly some of the Hu family's investments in Nanyang, and the assets abroad are not calculated in the general account.

Hu Chuyuan roughly looked through the accounts, covering the market value of each listed company. The total assets were about 21.139 billion yuan, and the debt ratio was 17.3%, an increase of 10.4% compared with the same period last year, and the average growth rate in previous years was slightly lower by 3 percentage points.

He thought that this was probably the reason why Cheng Daye was worried.

After a little thought in his mind, Hu Chuyuan closed the account and said to Cheng Daye, "In the Hu family, the person chosen by Lao San is the person I chose. You don't have to care too much. Just do things as usual."

Cheng Daye was a little relieved when he heard this and said, "Don't worry, no matter who the owner is in charge, we treat ourselves as shopkeepers equally. What's more, the Hu family's family was not founded by you in those years!"

Hu Chuyuan hummed and said, "Let's not talk about this general account in a hurry. I'll ask you by the way. At present, I want to integrate the rich country department into Fukang Company. Do you have any opinions and ideas?"

Cheng Daye immediately said, "I am the shopkeeper, and such a big event naturally has to be under the command of the owner. As for my thoughts... My boss, I think this is also imperative. The Hu family's current industry is large, but in so many years, there has always been a lack of a real backbone. Whether it is CITIC Bank, a rich country in Asia, or an old Jiangnan Commercial Bank, everyone thinks that he is the eldest son of the Hu family. Who is responsible for these things? You still have to listen to the owner to make a clear statement. As for the rich countries in Asia, they also have to be adjusted. Rich countries, Jiangnan, Hyundai, Yinghua, MCC, Sinosteel Union, China Railway Union, Zibo Petrochemical... These are not small companies.

Hu Chuyuan continued to hum and said, "Yes, the momentum of development over the years is very fast, but I also think it's a little messy."

Hu Chuyuan has an answer to how to rectify and readjust the Hu family's industry, but he is not in a hurry to say it.

He has to continue to weigh it.

It's not his style to make a knife in person. If you let Hu Yuyuan do it, you have to let Hu Yuyuan sincerely agree.

Now, Hu Chuyuan has a little idea to integrate domestic and foreign industries and form several larger real international chaebols. Especially after China, the United States, Britain and France reached a consensus on a new international trade and investment treaty, the formation of a giant chaebol across China, the United States and Europe has laid the foundation.

Regarding some questions within domestic companies, Hu Chuyuan lacked enough understanding. He still asked Cheng Daye first. After asking some questions that seemed to have nothing to do with integration, he asked Cheng Daye to return to the general letter room first.

At present, there are only three things in Hu Chuyuan's mind. The first thing is the re-integration of the whole Hu's industry, facing a more long-term era; the second thing is the overall wealth in China; the third thing... the relationship between China and the First World War.

There is still a serious problem of distribution imbalance in the world. Especially after the end of the Far East War, China has become the largest country in the world and the second largest overseas colonies and protectorates. The strength of France and Russia has been seriously weakened, but it still occupies a colonial market that is not in line with its own strength.

Objectively speaking, Britain's industrial strength is not as good as that of Germany and the United States.

After the Far East War, although Sino-French relations are gradually returning to normal, there is an inexorable hatred between China and Russia. The contradictions between Russia, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire are also very deep. At present, Germany does not have a serious contradiction crisis, but it is brewing a trend of annexing France and unifying the whole European continent.

Because of China's territory and the rapid expansion of interests in the world, there are many new contradictions between China, Britain and the United States, but in general, cooperation is still greater than conflict.

In Hu Chuyuan's view, the First World War is bound to break out. The question is when it will break out, in what form, and in what combination... have become unknown.

In a sense, China's huge benefits in the Far East War are ** challenging the declining old empire Hu Chuyuan, hoping that he can complete the first two things before the outbreak of World War I, and then he can free up more energy and strength to deal with the war.

He knows at least one thing... The Russians are absolutely unwilling. If they want to keep the fruit of victory, there will be a bloody battle between China and Russia.

It is for this reason that after the victory of the Far East War, he continued to maintain the direction of hatred against Russia in domestic compulsory education and propaganda, exposing all the evil deeds that the Russians had done to the Chinese in the Far East.

After two months of rest in Shanghai Yongyuan, the new cabinet began to gradually get on the right track, because the number of republican cabinet officials increased greatly. Throughout the country, the whole political trend also began to develop towards the republic, and new political parties continued to emerge.

Hu Chuyuan, who continues to retain the position of chairman of the Dagong Party and chairman of the State Military Commission, is actually still controlling the politics and military of China, but he has retreated behind the scenes.

May.

Hu Chuyuan took a special train to Hangzhou and Jin Qu Basin to investigate the development of agriculture in the south of the Yangtze River. People always say that the golden autumn is the harvest season, but in the south of the Yangtze River, more than 50% of the agricultural income in a year is born before summer... Spring tea, spring silk, wheat, rape.

In Zhejiang in May, spring tea has already been on the market, rapeseed has also been harvested, and spring silk is about to be on the market.

Accompanied by two wives, Hu Chuyuan shuttled all the way to the hinterland of Zhejiang by train, looking at the yellowing wheat waves, looking at the green mulberry fields, tea fields, and the fields that were being ploughed...

There was an unprecedented joy in his heart.

He has many achievements, but in his own heart, he has always felt that his greatest achievement was to avoid civil war.

China is so powerful without civil war.

There is no doubt about this.

The train gradually entered the city of Hangzhou.

In the past 25 years, the development speed of Hangzhou has been very amazing. As the largest raw silk distribution center and silk processing production area in China, it is shining brightly.

Hangzhou's textile industry is second only to Shanghai in scale. As the provincial capital of Zhejiang, its economic development in other aspects is also very fast, with a complete system of light and heavy industries. Ningbo uses the advantages of ports to develop ports and petrochemical industries, which is compatible with Hangzhou's economy.

The education in Hangzhou is even more perfect. This is also the starting point for Hu Chuyuan to set up a school. At present, in China, the overall education level of Hangzhou should be the highest, which provides a good foundation for the development of new industries in Hangzhou.

In Hangzhou, there are countless electrical, mechanical and dye factories sponsored by other businessmen, especially Huizhou businessmen, who almost regard Hangzhou as the first springboard for development in Shanghai.

Because of the early development, Hangzhou's acceptance of foreign culture is second only to Shanghai.

Since 1890, Hangzhou has followed the new city and beautification movement in the United States, carrying out new planning and development of the city. Within the city, all new buildings need to be aesthetically audited by special institutions.

Shanghai has begun to follow the example of New York to establish an underground railway system, while Hangzhou is running the ring railway bus and the ring tram.

The buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Song Dynasty in the old city are being repaired. Most of the buildings in the new urban area are in a neoclassical style, and the momentum of the country is getting stronger and stronger. During this period, many new buildings in China, especially private gardens and streets, are slightly more heroic in the Han and Tang Dynasties in terms of overall style.

Simply put, the so-called neoclassical style is the layout structure of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the decorative details of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, modern building materials, the architecture pays attention to symmetry and white walls and black eaves, and the overall layout pursues the asymmetric surname of the Song and Ming structures. The layout is high and low, and the mountains and rivers are low.

In terms of the actual room setting, it is more modern.

Jiangnan is the source of neoclassical style, while Hangzhou is the source of the source. In today's Hangzhou, neoclassical style and foreign academic style are very common, almost everywhere.

The garden area of Hangzhou is also very large, especially in the area around the West Lake. It is almost a very large national city park, which is very beautiful.

After the train arrived at the station, Hu Chuyuan continued to drive through the street. He was very happy to see the city he had lived in for many years become so beautiful.

Especially in the process of driving on the street, you can often see similar cars, new carriages, rickshaws, tricycles, trucks and trucks along the way. The streets are also very wide, paved with beautiful asphalt gravel roads.

Hu Chuyuan sighed in his heart that Hangzhou people are rich.

He looked at it all the way and encountered at least more than 100 cars, including domestic and foreign brands. There were many cars of Jiangnan brand and Shanghai Shenbao brand.

To find such a beautiful and modern city in China in such an era, Hu Chuyuan believes that anyone must recognize the strength and strength of China.

His car slowly drove into the Hu family's compound. The personnel of the VIP secretariat and the Secret Service had already arrived. The whole compound seemed particularly lively, and everyone kept arranging it here.

Sometimes, Hu Chuyuan also likes to engage in nepotism. After Chen Sanli left the secretariat to become the mayor of Shanghai, Hu Chuyuan raised Liang Qichao, a native of Hangzhou, as the leader of the secretariat.

Whether Liang Qichao has this ability or not is another matter. The most important point... He is absolutely loyal to Hu Chuyuan.

Liang Qichao has arranged everything that can be arranged in advance. He went deep into Hangzhou township for investigation a month in advance, and also prepared a first-hand research report. Hu Chuyuan could only rest, and he sent the report.

Hu Chuyuan glanced at it hastily and did not take a closer look. He put aside Liang Qichao's investigation report on Zhejiang's agricultural economy and let Liang Qichao go down to do other things first.

When Liang Qichao left, he silently looked at the big study on the second floor of Baishi Building.

The large desk left by Hu Xueyan was placed in place, facing the window, pushing open the door and window, and the scenery of Hu's courtyard was even more obvious.

Squeak.

The door was pushed open, and Pan Limei quietly came in.

Hu Chuyuan glanced at her and asked, "Where's Shuzhen?"

Pan Limei smiled and said, "The eldest sister is cleaning up the bedroom. She wants to live in the mahogany hall. Let me ask you what you mean!"

Hu Chuyuan nodded and said, "Whatever. Anyway, it's at home, and it's the same everywhere."

With these words, he felt that he had lost the charm of home.

His home is in Zizhengyuan, in Shanghai.

That's the house he built for his family, and this is the house built by Hu Xueyan. He builds his own house with his hands, shelters his family from the wind and rain, and provides a safe place for children to live.

This is the meaning of home, and it is also the dream and value of every man.

Unfortunately, the children have their own world one after another. Hu Weizhong has completed his law degree at Yale University ahead of schedule. He has just gone to Yanjing and worked as a secretary for Qu Hongji in the Secretariat of the Ministry of Opportunity. Hu Weihui is at Stanford University. Hu Weini is about to get married. Hu Weiya and Hu Weisai have also decided to stay in the United States. Hu Weitang and Hu Weting just went to Germany, one at the Army Academy in Berlin and the other at the University of Bonn.

Only his youngest son Hu Weixin is still studying at Tongji Public School in Shanghai.

Hu Chuyuan thought to himself, when Hu Weixin also left the garden, whether there were only three people left in the huge garden, he and his wife.

His achievements are so high, his assets are so many, and the world is so big. What really belongs to him?

Looking at the home that his father left him with hope, but he gave up... In the Hu family compound, Hu Chuyuan suddenly had a special epiphany - he thought that the things he pursued crazily when he was young may not be important.

Wealth, power...

Maybe it's not very important.

It seems that nothing is more important than inner peace.

The question is, can his heart be calm?

People who don't do bad things... Only then can they calm down, but... But... But, I've done too many bad things!

Hu Chuyuan said to himself so plainly, sighing, and staring at the scenery in the Hu family's courtyard. No one has lived for too long. Although there has been people cleaning and nursing, there is still a lack of vitality here, which is not as luxurious as in the days and memories.

It turns out that without the existence of people, luxury will lose its meaning.

So, "people" is the most important thing.

Looking at the fascinating brilliance in his eyes, Pan Limei smiled cunningly, as if she also recalled herself and his youth, the little things left in this Hu family's courtyard.

She smiled faintly and calmly walked to Hu Chuyuan's side and looked out of the window with him.

After a while, she asked, "Have you thought of anything?"

Hu Chuyuan simply replied, "The past, the present, and the future...!"

Pan Limei sighed, "A lot, I... I just think about the past. The past time is really beautiful, but we are always slowly aging like this!"

Hu Chuyuan pointed his finger at his temple seriously and said, "Here, you will never be old... and you will never be old."

Pan Limei smiled.

After a pause, Hu Chuyuan said, "I'm thinking that the achievements I have pursued are actually not so important. At least in my opinion now, if I have more years, I want to pursue another value."

Pan Limei asked curiously, "What?"

Hu Chuyuan replied more simply, "Your Duke!"

Two words

.

The two words are very simple, but they are things that countless people have not done for thousands of years.

Hu Chuyuan also knows that he can't do it, but he still wants to do it. Whether he can do it or not is one thing, and whether he can get close to the goal is another thing.

Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke of the World.

The so-called Grand Duke of the World, Hu Chuyuan's understanding is very simple... Everyone is rich.

He thought that if China could one day achieve average wealth and welfare like Sweden and Germany, the Chinese would really achieve something.

Although she doesn't understand what Hu Chuyuan is thinking in her heart, Pan Limei can generally understand what Hu Chuyuan said about the "duke". She smiled silently and said, "Okay, I definitely support your husband!"

"Yes!"

Hu Chuyuan turned to look at her with a smile.

The eyes of the two were handed over, as if they had said a lot in an instant, but there was no sound.
