Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 296 Those Years I Loved Stans

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and invited everyone to taste the cigars. This meeting was not suitable for outsiders to listen to, and the maids were not asked to do it. A group of people were there roasting the cigars themselves.

Everyone discussed in soft voices which people were needed to serve on the supervisory committee, and subconsciously, they thought that those people were the ones qualified to sit at the table.

A list was quickly produced, and everyone who was qualified confirmed the contents of the list and had a thorough discussion.

So the matter was finalized.

In fact, this supervisory committee has no responsibility for anything else and is only responsible for access authority.

For example, if you are a white-bone demon with no connections or ways out, how can you bring things to sell?

In fact, they are all symbolic meanings.

It means that everyone has the right to participate, which is similar to the master and apprentice on the journey to obtain Buddhist scriptures. It is OK to have it or not, it is just for show.

The Grand Duke's men are handled by their own supervisory committee, and the members of parliament's staff naturally also have their own supervisory committees to handle the matter.

In simple terms!

Everyone sells their own junk, but no one should think of demolishing other people's houses or selling other people's junk.

Zhang Kaiwu was smoking a cigar and leading everyone to smoke cigars. He smiled and said:
"In fact, in my Kaiwu Bank in Gangcheng, there are several deposit methods, both registered and unregistered. We also opened gold financial management business and fund investment business. The annualized rate should be quite good."

"Our bank has cooperated with Citibank. The checkbook can be deposited and cashed in any bank. Everyone must give me some face in the future and deposit a little money in our bank. The returns should be guaranteed."

"The most important thing is that the headquarters of my bank will be located in India or India in the future. I will strive for a tax-free system. For example, if a country is tax-free, then my headquarters will be there in the future."

A group of people heard it clearly, this is just a clean-up, even the final one-stop tax service has been arranged! ?

So thoughtful!

The Duke of York smiled and said:

"Count Zhang! You are really good at making money. I am old and can't do these things. I will definitely ask Mr. Butler to deposit the money."

Grand Duke Kearney Argyll adjusted the wig on his bald head and said wittily:
"My family's funds will also be deposited in your bank for investment in the future. If there is a loss and I lose all my hair, I will come to you to borrow your place for a few years."

A member of the parliament smiled and said:

"Of course! Earl Zhang! I have some spare money too, not much, but I will definitely go and support you."

Another member of the House of Representatives said with a smile:

"Count Zhang! I don't want to take care of these things either. Your bank's approach really makes things convenient for everyone."

Several earls and the remaining congressmen also quickly expressed their opinions, saying that we all need to open an account, which may make it convenient to go to the port city for vacation.

Everyone in the meeting room was very enthusiastic and said they were about to make a deposit because how could they get interest without making a deposit?

It would be better to open another financial company here in London to make it easier for everyone to invest and manage their finances. Zhang Kaiwu agreed with a smile.

Zhang Kaiwu certainly believed in the sincerity of their deposits, and they would even send their butler to go to Gangcheng to supervise and manage.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
Things are almost done. Those who should be incorporated have already been incorporated, and those who should be killed will naturally be killed by them.

For example, there are some unconventional parliamentarians, some people who are in opposition, do not understand the truth, and want to break the rules and eat Tang Monk's flesh.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"That's great! I moved to a new house today, and I like the gifts everyone gave me. According to the custom in our hometown, I also prepared some small gifts for everyone in return."

"Because the estate has not yet produced any wine, I can only send you some small specialties brought back from India."

"Ms. Deborah! Pass out my little gifts to everyone."

Deborava and the butler, who were guarding the door, came in with plates and handed each of them a small black cloth bag containing two top-grade sapphires.

Grand Duke Argyle opened the bag and looked inside, then said with a surprised smile:
"Oh my god! I really like this little Indian specialty. Mr. Argyle happened to want to buy marbles. Thank you so much!"

He stuffed it into his suit pocket and patted it.

Everyone's agility was about the same. After stuffing the marbles in, they patted each other on the back and thanked Zhang Kaiwu for the small gift in return.

This is probably just some hard work fee. Earl Zhang really has no shortage of money!

So there is a reason why sapphire is expensive now, it is because it is too convenient.

Now everyone knew that Zhang Kaiwu really had no shortage of money, and this small gift was enough to make an ordinary person worry-free for the rest of his life.

Zhang Kaiwu picked up the wine glass and said with a smile:
"cheers!"

A group of people raised their glasses and said:

"cheers!"

Zhang Kaiwu raised his cup and drank it all, smiling and saying:

"Now let's get ready to go out and bask in the sun and dance! The weather is nice today, and those ladies must be waiting impatiently, and they all want to show off!"

The Duke of Argyle put down his cup and said proudly:
"I was the party dancing king! But that was thirty years ago. I'm not as good now!"

A gentleman from Parliament said with a smile:

"You are still very agile now, that leather shoe has never hit you!"

Seeing their gunpowder smell, Zhang Kaiwu quickly smiled and said:

"Gentlemen! Let me make this clear! You are not allowed to throw leather shoes today, so as not to scare the noble ladies!"

"If anyone throws a pair of shoes, I'll throw a grenade back!"

The Duke of York smiled and said:

"If you dare to throw a grenade, I will drag the mountain artillery from my house over here and blow up your front door!"

The Duke of Argyll stood up and said:

"Hurry up and go out and dance. I'll show you that even though I'm old, I'm still the best dancer."

A group of people ran out laughing. How could they lose their shoes on such a happy day? How could they dance if they lost their shoes?

The leather shoes were going to be thrown away when the parliament was in session!
On the grass, everyone started dancing in celebration, very happy and joyful.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled as he led Jessica and the others to dance. This was a proper court dance, and men and women didn't even hold hands.

The men stood in a row holding hands, the women also stood in a row holding hands, and everyone circled together to do the Scottish sheep dance.

Everyone had a sincere smile on their face and happiness in their eyes.

...............

In the backyard, Mr. Savas, the butler, was taking Miss Deborava, the housekeeper, to give small gifts to Lawyer Ajim's team. These were small gifts from Zhang Kaiwu to thank them for their hard work during this period.

A group of people from the legal team have been working so hard over the past half month that their legs are sore. They are the heroes.

They sat in a row and ate fruit. Lawyer Ajim got five sapphires, and the other lawyers each got two. The lawyers were almost fainted by the many sapphires.

Everyone covered their chests, afraid that their hearts would jump out.

If there is a chance in the future, they hope to run for a year.

The gentlemen from the legal team also went to the dance, basking in the sun on the grass, looking forward to buying a villa.

The party ended in the afternoon and everyone politely left. It was not because Zhang Kaiwu’s villa was too small, but because everyone had important work to do.

The butler planned to leave two young butlers in London to continue to take care of all matters in London, including purchasing large quantities of gold, managing the Kaiwu Bank branch and financial company, and International Trade Co., Ltd.

He continued to go to the port city with housekeeper Deborah. He would be in charge of the port city in the future. The shipyard, which had invested 400 million pounds, could not be allowed to collapse at any cost.

Miss Deborah, the housekeeper, also has to be his personal secretary, handle some small matters, and perhaps even go with him to get ink.

.....................

The Grand Duke and the members of parliament were all very busy. Zhang Kaiwu's words about bank cooperation gave them inspiration.

Everyone flocked to the Kaiwu branch to deposit money. In order to facilitate future work, they tried to save as much as possible.

In a few days, more than 20 million pounds were deposited into the London branch of Kaiwu Bank. It can be seen that the poor people are not really the nobles of Great Britain. They have always pretended to be poor. They have always been rich. It's just that the London City Government really has no money.

Zhang Kaiwu was also not idle. He used the large amount of funds in his hands to make huge profits in the gold trading market.

He turned that huge amount of money into gold. The 300 million pounds of loans and the income from processing the box of sapphires were transformed into 2,400 tons of gold.

Only 20 million pounds of loans were left as reserved acquisition funds, 100 million US dollars of company working capital, and more than 20 million pounds from the nobles.

After telling steward Savas not to tell anyone, he took all the gold away under an excuse and disappeared without a trace.

In fact, it was secretly hidden by Zhang Kaiwu in the storage space. The relationship between everyone is about to deteriorate. If Great Britain wants to turn against us at that time, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities!
He certainly would not trust anyone, let alone the government of Great Britain.

Everyone's civilization is different. They are predatory civilizations that started out by plundering. Zhang Kaiwu has never thought of relying on them for self-awareness.

Since then!

This time when I came to London, most of the income from selling sapphires and the pounds from loans have been turned into more than 4,400 tons of gold in the space.

Coupled with the fact that sapphires are still being slowly shipped, it is entirely possible to keep cash flow under control.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
...............

These nobles are really busy. For example, they have to worry about the implementation of some things. A shipbuilding factory is not just a factory, but what about the supporting facilities factories?
Pack them together quickly and ship them together, and sell them before the money runs out.

And those accessories in stock have to be packed up and sold quickly.

In those overseas bases, everything that can be sold should be sold away, leaving no screws behind.

Those obsolete aircraft carriers, unused aircraft carriers and battleships moored in the port suddenly became hot commodities. They were all iron lumps!
After repairing the holes, it can also be used as a cargo ship to transport goods. Things that everyone used to despise have suddenly become popular.

………………

On November 10, 1949, the weather was gloomy and cold. Zhang Kaiwu stood in the airport and hugged everyone goodbye reluctantly.

The key is that if I don’t leave now, another war will probably break out. Because of nationality issues, I may not be able to leave after a while.

I am not worried about my life safety, but I may be restricted from traveling.

Several old dukes hugged him and said with a smile that they would go to the port city to play after Christmas and spend the cold winter.

Zhang Kaiwu understood what they meant. Since the junk was shipped by sea, it was impossible to transport it on a good ship. It would take at least half a year to transport it.

They will go there to play for a while and collect the money.

Hepburn and Jessica have already got their contracts back and are now working for their own families. Zhang Kaiwu even acquired their agency.

They cried and hugged Zhang Kaiwu goodbye, saying that they would go to Hong Kong to see him as soon as they finished filming the movie and had time.

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and patted them, telling them not to worry and that he would come to see them when he had time. He also left a world famous song to dub their movie.

The plane slowly rose into the blue sky, accompanied by Mr. Savas and Ms. Deborah, the housekeeper.

Attorney Ajim also brought his team with him. They were really busy, discussing work while sitting on the plane.

The boss’s interests cannot be harmed.

Deborah sat by the window, looking curiously at the scenery below, looking at the British Isles, and watching the plane rushing into the sea of ​​clouds above the clouds.

The scenery in the sky is still very beautiful, with the dazzling sun above the clouds, which is completely different from inside the city.

Zhang Kaiwu guessed that it was her first time to take a plane. People who take a plane for the first time will have a strong interest in seeing these things.

Only after watching it more often will you calm down.

Seeing that his housekeeper was a little nervous, he patted her tense legs, held her fist and said:

"Dear Deborah! Relax a little."

Deborah blushed and said:
"Sorry! This is my first time on a plane. When I flew out of the sea of ​​clouds just now, the scene was so shocking!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"It was the same when I took a plane for the first time. In the empty sky, facing the empty blue sky and white clouds, I felt very small. Later, after taking more planes, I found that it was actually because I was afraid of falling that I developed that sense of awe. In fact, I am still the same me."

This housekeeper is particularly interesting. Her energy value is set at fifty points, no more, no less. This may be how she positions herself in her mind! ?
Deborah smiled and said:

"Hahaha! Sir! I understand now that you put it that way. Maybe I think the same way. That kind of awe comes from my own cowardice. Earl Zhang! I find that you are always very polite. You smile and are in a good mood every day. You are always friendly to everyone."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Miss Housekeeper! You actually got one thing wrong. Smiling is just one of my expressions. It has nothing to do with my mood. Even when I lose my temper and kill someone, I actually smile."

Deborah whispered:
"You are a respectable gentleman! If it is true that you killed someone, then they must deserve to die."

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"Indeed! Of course! I'm a decent man, and I kill my enemies on many occasions. I just don't have the patience to keep talking nonsense."

Mr. Savas, the butler next to him, also coughed slightly and said:

"Sir! Sometimes using force to solve a problem is not a good way, but it is indeed the fastest way."

"But! It's better not to talk about these things in public. It's impolite."

It seems that people of this generation are cruel, regardless of nationality or gender.

Ha ha ha ha ha!
………………

In the evening, after watching the sunset on the plane and eating the free dinner, Zhang Kaiwu pulled her to follow him and took her to the rear cabin.

The poor housekeeper was a little panicked, and she lowered her head with a blushing face and followed.

As a personal secretary, she had seen Zhang Kaiwu and Hepburn playing games more than once.

The ladies are not here today, do I have to start too?!

Zhang Kaiwu found the head stewardess, pulled her aside and whispered a few words to her, then stuffed a stack of banknotes into her chest.

The head stewardess wished she could serve him personally. She smiled and opened the rear door and the curtain for him, and Deborava saw the secret base on the top.

Zhang Kaiwu pushed her and said:

"This is a big price to pay. Go up and get some sleep. The plane will be flying all night tonight. It will be very uncomfortable if you don't get some sleep."

Deborah climbed up with a blushing face, covering her skirt behind her buttocks for fear of exposing herself.

I adjusted my skirt and sat down there, only to find that this was the flight attendants' beds.

Zhang Kaiwu climbed up and lay down. He was a bit tall, and his head was a bit stuck when sitting on the mezzanine.

I lit a lonely Camel cigarette and lay there thinking about my own arrangements.

Deborah's mood eased, she took off her collar, took off her coat, and loosened two buttons of her shirt. The atmosphere here was a bit ambiguous, and to ease the mood, she smiled and said:

"The cramped environment here reminds me of when I was hiding in the countryside with my parents a few years ago. Every time the planes came to bomb, my father would ask me to hide in the attic."

"Sometimes I had to hide in the attic for a few days. Every time I saw these attic-like buildings, I got a little nervous. My father only gave me a revolver, which I used to commit suicide in times of crisis."

"When I was worried and scared, sometimes I wanted a Sten submachine gun the most because it had great firepower and I loved it."

Deborah demonstrated the shooting posture, and then she lay there with her butt sticking out, and said to the ladder:

"That's it, da da da!"

"If anyone climbs up from there, I'll guard the attic opening and fill his head with a magazine full of bullets."

This serious girl can also be lively and cute at times. I've seen everything about her.

The youthful girl's figure seemed very beautiful, and the black butler's skirt further highlighted her fair skin.

Zhang Kaiwu rubbed her head and said comfortingly:

"This is the mezzanine of the plane. It's not as spacious as your attic in the countryside. Be careful of hitting your head. You don't need a Sten submachine gun to guard you."
