late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou first recounted some old-fashioned and beautiful words, which were all heard by Wu Defu, and he was slightly modified and then sent back to Bao Yi and Wu Defu. Anyway, this kind of high-sounding words have been said by the Han people for thousands of years.After complimenting the two mentors in a simple and concise manner, Li Guolou switched to the main topic.

"Master Bao, since you want me to say it, I will say it. First of all, of course, we must not lose our main business, and we must get back what we lost. The Green Gang and the Ax Gang are our key targets, but the capital is always mixed. The dirty work is left to the militia. Then it is integrated and enlarged to cover the interests of the entire capital, and even rush out of the capital to the surrounding areas. All these must be done by spokespersons. This requires Mr. Bao, Master Wu found that promoting new talents, only those with a pioneering spirit can handle this important task."

Bao Tong was shocked and said: "Xiao Lizi, why have I never discovered your talent, usually you always pretend to be pistachio foolishly, or you keep fooling people. It turns out that you can still speak human words, no wonder Master Wu said that you are good at planning and layout, and you are a person who can do big things."

After a few words of modesty, Li Guolou said: "Actually, for us to make money, it is better to do business that we can control. The first thing is to give legitimate businessmen the confidence to open shops. The streets are full of shops, and we can go all the way. Collecting money, empty shops, we don’t even have a place to rest. So commercial development is imminent, and those fake foreign devils are also waiting for such an opportunity. If they make the first bet first, we will wait to collect money. This is called a win-win situation. We don’t want us to spend a penny, we just need to give them confidence, we can’t slaughter fat sheep, otherwise they will go to the concession again when they see that the limelight is wrong. This is also because the concession is getting more and more prosperous, but our place is still a pool of stagnant water The reason. Therefore, those who came first should give them big meat, and give them preferential tax protection fees, and set an example for those who come later. Now the money in our Qing Empire is in the hands of merchants, so we must find a way to let them invest it in The capital builds shops, hotels, and entertainment venues for Westerners. Anyway, it is necessary to make businesses active. We don’t get any benefits from building houses for ordinary people, so we have to stick to this road and list various restrictive measures. Only the construction of shops, We support businesses like opening restaurants, and we want to refocus the attention of wealthy people in Tianjin to the capital, which is the heart of the motherland and has a bright future.”

Wu Defu nodded secretly, fantasizing about the blueprint for the future, Bao said together: "Xiao Lizi, it is too troublesome to open and close the shop, unlike the land where you can make money."

Li Guolou said: "Master Bao, this time is now and then. In the past, it was the era of farming. Money was spent on the land, and the value of the land was reflected in luxury houses. Now is the era of large-scale industry and large-scale production, and money is generated by innovation and invention of machines. Reflecting value, rich foreigners, who are not big businessmen, can only make a lot of money by doing business, and landlords who depend on the sky for their food cannot become rich overnight. Mr. Bao, the land you bought in your hometown, the house in the capital, can Doubling the value? But doing business in a large industrial environment can do it, ten times and a hundred times up. Who will take care of my family’s land, and the whole family has left their hometown. Besides, being a big landlord has a bad reputation. You often compete with the common people for land and water. If you are still a businessman, people will say you have credibility.”

Bao Tong said with a smile: "Xiao Lizi, I heard that your elder brother is coming, so I want to pay a visit in person, okay?"

Li Guolou's face turned pale and he was frightened. His home is at Xie Xiuzhu's house. How could he let Bao come to his house together? He hurriedly said, "Hey—Master Bao, my brother is also your old friend. I happen to come to pay New Year's greetings. , come with my brother then, and invite us to dinner."

Bao Tong laughed and said, "Definitely, let Xiao Wu arrange that your two families come together."

Bao Yitong wanted to show his strength in the business world, and even wanted to sell the land he had accumulated all his life. The preliminary research work had already begun.Seeing that Bao Yitong was so kind to Wu Defu, Li Guolou believed even more that Bao Yiyi was going to deal a fatal blow to Wu Defu and commit a serious crime of treason. No one would dare to vindicate Wu Defu in his life.Fortunately, his family is powerful, and Bao Yitong will not plot against him.

Li Guolou is best at reading people's expressions and guessing people's hearts. He has discovered that Bao Yitong is becoming more and more polite to Wu Defu.Li Guolou couldn't help but think about that "little Xianggong", when Bao Tong will officially push "Little Xianggong" to the foreground, and how he will treat that little Xianggong "Little Xianggong".In Bao Tong's family, which one is more important, the son or the "little husband"?Li Guolou couldn't help thinking about it.

"Xiao Lizi, Mr. Bao is asking you something, you have lost your soul."

Woke up by Wu Defu's scolding, Li Guolou said suddenly, "I didn't sleep last night, I'm sorry for being distracted."

Bao Tong sighed: "The foreign girl is really good, and I haven't been this good for a long time, but it can't be compared with Xiao Lizi, it can't be compared, I feel a little bit inferior."

I envied Li Guolou for being good at fighting, for being able to abduct foreign girls, but for letting the foreign women even abandon their old friends, capable people can do anything.Bao Tong admired Li Guolou's ability to conquer wars, but hated Wu Defu's ignorance of good and bad, and dared to speak ill of his male favorite Zhu Danyu behind his back. He had been holding back Wu Defu for a long time.The family members were complaining that he didn't give his son Bao Quanzhong a chance, the wind was blowing on both sides of the pillow, his wife Xu Xiaogu, and the male favorite Zhu Danyu were attacking from left and right, and Bao was going to train Li Guolou to be a trusted confidant. Doting Zhu Danyu, and handing over the business to his son Bao Quanzhong, this is his long-term plan, and outsiders still collect a lot of money out of it.

Li Guolou smiled and said: "My lords, you are really serious. Where is it not easy to talk about business, but why do you come here to talk? There is a blonde beauty waiting for me outside. How can I have the heart to talk about it?"

Bao Tong said angrily: "Xiao Lizi, I thought about it when you said it, and accompany me to see foreign girls later. I want someone who didn't show you guys yesterday, that girl dancing ballet, not a guy." , don't block me."

Li Guolou warned: "Master Bao, ballet dancers, those who don't have flower heads, are skinny, you should think about it clearly."

Bao Tong made a chest squeeze and asked in confusion: "Then what's going on with her here?"

Li Guolou sighed: "Master Bao, aren't you a detective? Can't you tell the truth from the fake?"

Bao said angrily: "The foreign devils are fooling people. Let's go and have a look later. Maybe there are some good ones that were taken away yesterday, but they are back today." He immediately changed his mind, the foreign girls are still real. good.

Wu Defu said: "We talk about some things when we are doing it, but now it is empty talk. Little Li, you can talk about a century-old plan, and you can still take it easy with this little time."

Speaking of digressions, several people almost couldn't get around, Li Guolou pondered for a while, and said: "Master Bao, the current ticket numbers are only used by rich people for business, and they don't care about ordinary people's few taels of silver. business, but as long as we set up ticket numbers in cities and towns in full bloom, and deposit the wealth of ordinary people into the ticket numbers, the business will prosper and become an inexhaustible gold mountain. We will have the money to do big business We can get involved in any industry that makes money. We are afraid that someone will be jealous and say bad things about our bank account, and the common people who believe the rumors will run on the money and make us bankrupt overnight. Therefore, reputation and support are indispensable, and money alone is indispensable. It’s not good, the Shanxi guy will not pass this test.”

Wu Defu said: "Those ticket companies have backers in the local area and in the palace. I can't think of a way to deal with them for a while. This first step is the most difficult. After passing the first hurdle, I will surely make a lot of money in the future. It is still legitimate. The industry can be passed down from generation to generation.”

Bao Yitong said slowly: "Yes! Now we have several generations of people from the four banks of the Qing Empire, and they will enjoy the blessings all their lives. I have never heard of any prodigal sons appearing."

Li Guolou said: "Lord Bao, that's because the ticket office is not the business of the owner alone. They are the shopkeeper system, and they are responsible for each level. They only use fellow villagers, so they are very regional. No one dominates the country. Banks and banks are all small-scale. We can’t do this. We must have an open mind. Tolerance is great. We must learn from foreign devils. Opening a bank like a foreigner is called a bank. .Please have the same character as the voiceless sound, and the name is nice, and the common people will know that we welcome them as soon as they hear it. How wonderful it is to borrow the light of the Qing Empire, so that the approval can be passed. Two adults, do you think this name is good?"

The two officers muttered, "Please come to the bank;;;;;;" with smiles in their eyes, imagining the opening scene of "Please come to the bank".

Bao Yi patted his thigh together, and said: "I've already seen it, Xiao Lizi is good at planning, he is good at planning, and he is good at planning, and the things he thinks are reliable. He is good if he has drank foreign ink, and he can't accept it. It's a pity that my son only likes to sing. , the singing is a bit in tune, and nothing else can be done. You will take Xiao Lizi with him from now on."

Bao Yiyi lightly made the first move, pushing his son Bao Quanzhong, who is not yet 17 years old, to the foreground.He took a fancy to the capital's business, and he didn't want to return home to be a landlord in the future. He wanted to retire in Tianjin like a prince, and was used to life in the city. Bao Yitong no longer had no attachment to his hometown.

Li Guolou refrained from asking Bao Tong's son, Bao Quanzhong, what did he like to sing?If Bao Quanzhong likes to sing Hua Dan, wouldn't he have a little husband behind his ass?Li Guolou has all kinds of tastes in his heart, and he glances at Wu Defu, the clever Master Wu is immersed in fantasy.Li Guolou silently said that silence is golden, Wu Defu was not a good person, life and death have their own destiny, he is not an omnipotent God.He didn't do it to save people's lives, but to avenge the dead, and the more people died, the better for him.

After the plan was completed, Bao stood up together and said, "Old Wu will be scolding his mother, let's have dinner together."

Li Guolou asked stupidly: "Master Bao, shall we go back at night?"

Bao Tong replied: "Detective, you can count it. If you go to the foreign girl's house, you will automatically show up tomorrow morning. If you want to come together, you must go together. Understand?"

Wu Defu said: "Xiao Lizi, take out the hidden chips, Mr. Bao has no more chips."

Li Guolou turned his head and pointed at Wu Defu's nose, annoyed: "If I had known this, I would have found a chance to sneak away in the morning. It turns out that you all together calculated the 400 taels I won."

Bao Tong sighed: "Xiao Lizi, I have to pay the public account when I go back. If my wife is not fair, can the family still be peaceful? After you get married, you will understand."

Wu Defu said: "Yeah, Xiao Lizi, you are a golden gun now, but in the future, if you fail, your wife will like money, and she will seduce you when she sees money, and make you happy, and kick you out of bed if you don't have money. "

Bao Yitong glanced at Li Guolou, and said, "Why don't you go to gamble again, anyway, you are proud of being a love casino."

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Forget it, yesterday I met the onion head of the British Minister, today I am not so lucky, the foreign girl is already going to eat me, if I don't feed her enough, she will be cuckolded in the afternoon. "

What does Li Guolou want to do?Bao Yi is so smart that he can tell when he guesses, Bao Yi said angrily: "Xiao Lizi, you are not enough friends, eat first and then find a foreign girl for us, and finally you enter the shed, you can't do it the other way around."

The two officers dragged Li Guolou from giving him a chance to act alone, fearing that Li Guolou would really go to Yeliya's house.
