Back to the Republic of China as a commander

This Young Master Tian San will be a serious second-generation official and second-generation army in later generations. It is normal for him to like to take drugs.It's a pity that Wang Zhenyu doesn't want to be Zhang Xueliang, and he doesn't plan to live to be as long as 105 years old. Naturally, I am grateful for this.

Staying in Nanjing was a little boring, and the training was handed over to his subordinates. Wang Zhenyu, who had nothing to do, thought that since he came to the Yangtze River Delta, the most affluent place in China, he must do some business.

If I want to make a name for myself in the future, talent and money are both indispensable.

In Wuhan, I have Ye Zuwen as a comprador, and this old boy is dedicated to his work.But if a person wants to stand firm, it is absolutely impossible to rely on only one leg.

I still need to have a leg, but Ye Zuwen will come to Nanjing soon, maybe he can find another leg for himself!

Tian Yingzhao was also tired of staying in Nanjing recently, and suddenly wanted to go to Changzhou for two days, so he came to invite Wang Zhenyu.

Although the entire south of the Yangtze River is nominally out of the control of the Qing court, it does not necessarily belong to the Republic of China if it is out of the Qing Dynasty.The scope actually controlled by the Nanjing Provisional Government is also very limited, but Changzhou obviously belongs to this actual controllable scope.

30 troops from all walks of life gathered in Nanjing, and the Northern Expedition became a moon in the water because the Qing emperor announced his abdication.After a long time of leisure, everyone will feel bored. Zhenjiang, Changzhou and other places, which are not too far from Nanjing, have become good places for military officers to spend their time.

But this time Tian Yingzhao obviously didn't lead the right way. Wang Zhenyu and his party followed Tian Yingzhao to a place called Benniu Town near Changzhou, and found that it was pretty deserted here.

Seeing the depression, Tian Yingzhao was so angry that he scolded his own soldiers: "Bastard, didn't you say that you have been here before, didn't you say that this place is very lively?"

The soldier was so frightened that he didn't dare to take a breath, but just stood there with his head bowed.

Wang Zhenyu was not angry at all, and now he can be regarded as a general. He began to consciously control his emotions. After all, anger often cannot solve problems.He dismounted immediately, threw the reins to his guards, and started walking slowly on the street with his hands behind his back.After walking a dozen or so steps, he was surprised to find that there was still a shop open as usual on the empty street. Seeing the customers coming in and out from time to time, the business seemed to be doing well.

This is a western scene. Just after the war, economic depression is the norm, and vice versa is very strange.

Walking to the door of this store, the signboard is engraved with the four characters of Hefenghuodian.Wang Zhenyu looked at the signboard, it turned out to be a grocery store.He tugged and scolded Tian Yingzhao, who was still scolding the soldiers while walking: "Brother Tian, ​​look at the turmoil right now. Most of the merchants are closed, but there is still a grocery store open for business here. It's strange, let's go in and take a look?"

Tian Yingzhao gave the soldiers another look: "Well, go in and have a look!"

A group of men walked in carelessly like this, scaring the customers who were waiting to buy things in the store to dodge one after another, and they left after a while, and the young guys who came to the store were also scared and leaned against the corner.

Behind the counter stood a young man with delicate features and an oval face, who was holding an abacus and lowering his head to sort out the accounts.He soon felt that the atmosphere in the store was not right, why was it so quiet all of a sudden.

When he looked up, he saw a group of strong men standing in the center of the shop and looking around, the young man couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.Judging by the figures and appearances of these masters, it is estimated that they are not kind.

He hurriedly walked around the counter with a smile and came out to greet him: "These gentlemen, it's the first time I've seen you, it's so strange, do you want to add something to the store?"

Wang Zhenyu hummed: "It's nothing, just came in out of curiosity, where's your shopkeeper?"

Wang Zhenyu, who was downcast in later generations, became a general in this life. Although it was only one or two months ago, this official accent seemed to be innate.There is no way, this is the main theme in later generations, and it is deeply influenced by our ears and eyes.

The young man's pupils shrank: "The young one is the shopkeeper of our store. His humble name is Liu Guojun. I don't know if it can be useful for a few distinguished guests. Please sit down first, and I will let the waiter serve tea."

Wang Zhenyu and Tian Yingzhao didn't say much, and sat down, while the accompanying guards ran outside to guard.

Liu Guojun's tea was served, and Wang Zhenyu took a sip: "Shopkeeper Liu, to be honest, we also passed by here and found that most of the merchants along the street were closed, but yours is open as usual, and the business is also extraordinary. I'm curious, so I came in to disturb you." Fan, don't blame me!"

What Wang Zhenyu said was very polite, which made Liu Guojun feel good.As for Tian Yingzhao, he was drinking tea and didn't interrupt, just showing that he was not interested and the old god was there.

"The distinguished customers don't know. Since October last year, because of the war, the traffic was cut off. Firstly, the merchants were afraid of trouble, and secondly, the supply of goods was cut off, so they closed their doors one after another." Liu Guojun said in detail, "In the small It seems that no matter whether it is chaotic or not, business or not, this day has to go on as usual, so I helped the colleagues to clear the goods, took their plates and continued to open, and you saw the distinguished guests, and the business was still going well."

The shopkeeper Liu in front of him spoke very easily, but it shocked Wang Zhenyu a lot.Wang Zhenyu, who came from later generations, admired the courage and insight of the young man named Liu Guojun in front of him.In such an ever-changing time, it is not difficult to think of this, but it is quite remarkable to have the courage to do it.

"The shopkeeper Liu is very courageous, has a unique vision, and extraordinary courage. Wang really admires him." Wang Zhenyu spoke sincerely, which made Liu Guojun feel very comfortable. To be honest, this decision is the most proud Liu Guojun has ever made in his life.At the beginning, my father-in-law strongly opposed it, and it was because of my hard work that the current situation came about.Now it is rare to be praised by outsiders, so Liu Guojun is naturally a little proud.

Naturally, the conversation became more and more speculative, and Wang Zhenyu became more and more interested in the young shopkeeper in front of him. He actually had the idea of ​​starting a spinning mill!How could such a young man live in such a small grocery store?

Here, Liu Guojun also developed a good impression of Wang Zhenyu in his heart. Although he didn't know what Wang Zhenyu's identity was, but looking at his pretense, temperament, and conversation, he was naturally not an ordinary person.You must know that scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants have been the last since ancient times, not to mention that I am not even a merchant, just a shopkeeper of a grocery store. On weekdays, the villagers rarely go in and out except for shopping, and a few down-and-out scholars with fame come to buy things. It is not difficult to look directly at yourself, as Wang Zhenyu has almost never talked with him, let alone many of his views are refreshing, such as grocery store chains, unified procurement, unified supply, etc., completely surpassed Lost my own knowledge, thanks to the fact that I have always claimed to be well-informed, I am so ashamed!

Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened. Liu Guojun offered to stay overnight, saying that the inn in the town was also closed.Wang Zhenyu did not refuse, and stayed at Liu's house that night. Tian Yingzhao had no interest in their conversation, and after driving for a day, he naturally fell asleep early.From Wang Zhenyu to Liu Guojun, the more they talked, the more speculative they became. Wang Zhenyu already understood the idea of ​​soliciting, and said directly: "Brother Liu is a great talent, it's a pity to live here. I have something to rush back to Nanjing tomorrow. Don't hide it from Liu. Brother, I also want to do some big business, but I have no one to use. In the future, there will be places that need Brother Liu's help. I will send someone here to invite you later. This is not a polite word. Brother Liu must not refuse at that time .People live for a lifetime, and often there is only this chance, and it is a fateful chance that you and I can meet here."

Although we have only known each other for a few hours, it feels like we have known each other for a long time. Liu Guojun also feels that this person in front of him has a lot of background. Since the invitation is sincere, it is involved in business. He was very sincere, so he nodded and agreed, and gave a consecrated jade pendant as a token for the visitor.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Zhenyu didn't greet the master's family, but quietly left ten oceans and went back to Nanjing with Tian Yingzhao.Counting the days, Ye Zuwen should be arriving soon.

On February 1912, 2, at the Xiaguan Wharf in Nanjing, Wang Zhenyu met his current partner Ye Zuwen.

Today's Ye Zuwen relied on Wang Zhenyu not only to turn himself over, but also merged the Ye family's property with Wang Zhenyu's property according to Wang Zhenyu's intention, and operated it in the name of Ye's business.Ye Zuwen is the general manager, and takes [-]% of the shares to be responsible for the daily operation. At the same time, he is still a legal person in name.

As a result, he is naturally the richest man in the Wuhan area. Not long ago, he was successfully elected as the Chinese director of the Wuhan British Concession Industry Bureau, and he can be regarded as a "famous person" in the Hankou Concession area.

The business of the foreign firm and the tobacco factory is still going smoothly. Ye Zuwen also took advantage of the war in Wuhan to speculate on land and made a small profit.Now I am planning to set up a bank. Among other things, I have a huge sum of more than 600 million yuan, which is more than enough to support the operation of a bank.However, Ye Zuwen couldn’t make the decision by himself. After all, the money was not his, so he sent a telegram to Wang Zhenyu early on, saying that he would come to Nanjing to ask for instructions.

Although Ye Zuwen was already an important figure in the Wuhan Concession, he was very polite in front of Wang Zhenyu, a young man. He didn't dare to call Wang Zhenyu by his first name at all, and always referred to him as a general.

The purpose of Ye Zuwen's visit to Nanjing this time was firstly to ask for instructions on opening a bank;

Ye Zuwen lived and boarded at Liu Hongsheng's home when he returned to Shanghai to deliver goods last year. He knew that this old friend was specializing in coal from the Kailuan Mining Bureau.Therefore, Ye Zuwen was not very sure about promoting this person to join the gang, and he didn't mention it to Wang Zhenyu before he came.
