late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 249 No one can match the ability to fool people

Zhen Yuhuan tidied up her appearance, Li Guolou stood beside the carriage to support her, and Zhen Yuhuan got off the carriage gracefully.Baozhi House is changing with each passing day, and a new store of "Golden Phoenix Silver Building" opposite is being renovated. This is a joint stock silver building. Li Guolou owns [-]% of the shares. [-]% of the shares are paid by Zheng Zizi.In addition to gold and silver jewellery, jade and jadeite occupy half of the storefront of the two-story building.

How can Li Guolou let go of the profiteering industry? Originally, his family was in the antique business, but now there are more and more people. To support these people, they have to have something to do.He didn't want to get involved in the business of brothels and casinos, and he had to be good in order to have a good reputation.

Li Guolou glanced at a pawnshop next to him. The black signboard with golden letters was shining brightly. "Integrity Pawnshop" is an industry in which princes and nobles have shares. Ordinary businessmen don't want to infiltrate this business. The smuggled goods confiscated by the customs every year are from this shop. Sold by the pawn shop.A business of millions of taels of silver, although others can see through the path, they can't get in.However, it is precisely because "Baozhifang" has successfully gained a foothold here that it has attracted rich people, and the business of Donglai Jiangxiang has prospered.Famous brands in the capital flocked to see this scene. Li Guolou was happy for his elder brother. One of the land here belonged to his brother Li Guoyun, and he could benefit from the prosperity of the family.

The bazi came towards him, swaying with splayed steps, and at a glance, he looked like a grandpa.

"Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!" Li Guolou smiled and said, "Well, I was talking about you just now, and you just showed up. Why did you go to the pawn shop?"

"Hey! Little Li, what can I do? I went to chat with my neighbors. How about a family dinner?" Seeing Zhen Yuhuan beside him, Na Bazi didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"Yeah, let's have dinner together." Li Guolou treats that guy as his own family, and he doesn't mind inviting him to dinner. He often invites friends to dinner. May.Since the grandmas were brought out to do business, they had to bear these things. A canary kept in a deep boudoir was not of much use, and beauty had great value in use. Li Guolou knew this well.

The three of them walked into Baozhi's room together. It was full of guests at noon, and there was no place for the idlers in the lobby to sit.

As soon as Li Guolou touched his nose, he knew what was tricky inside, and Na Wu discovered another business of earning tips, and his ability to exploit loopholes was second to none.

In the Cuiyun Pavilion, Yingying, Yanyan, and Yanyan were chattering and noisy, and Nayan was also sitting in it. A group of dignified people passed on the ornaments they bought in Yuanmingyuan, and exchanged their experience in dealing with eunuchs and court ladies.

Li Guolou was startled when he saw the ornaments on the round table, they were piled up like a mountain.

"Second Grandma, didn't you let you watch them? What's the matter with selling so many useless things?" Li Guolou picked up a string of Buddhist beads, hating him deeply. His family believed in Catholicism.

"What's the matter with the group price, I'm the one who decides!" Chen Xiangfang didn't buy it, and was the first to jump out.

"Grandma, don't scare Xiaolou, I've seen it, it's worth it! These are palace treasures, some were stolen by court ladies and eunuchs, and some were rewarded by the empress, I will guard them, those dead eunuchs can't take advantage, They don't understand the value of it." Xie Xiuzhu gave Li Guolou reassurance, but did not disclose how much money was spent in total, men only know how much money is spent, and do not know that jewelry is meaningful to women.

"Oh;;;;;;" Li Guolou looked at the Sanskrit patterns on the Buddhist beads, but the carvings were very fine.

"How much is it in total?" Li Guolou asked dryly, unable to bear it any longer, as if there was a rope tied to his feet.

"Ahh!" Yingying and Yanyan coughed, but no one answered Li Guolou's question.

"Don't tell me, it's more than 1 taels!" Li Guolou was furious, glaring at everyone sitting there.

"Hey, Mike, we don't have many people. It takes a little bit for so many talents. Those high-ranking officials and wives pay 1 taels of silver bills as soon as they make a move. We can't match it." Yelia knew that Li Guolou would not dare to violate her will. , Things that offend others, let her say it.

Li Guolou sat down dejectedly, and lamented: "It's over! I counted more than [-] taels, and you guys are really good at it. Here I want to save money, but there is such a big opening for me. How can I earn [-] taels?" Two vain silver?"

"Hey hey hey!" Everyone at the table was laughing wickedly, Li Guolou was a catcher, and he could see the value of it at a glance.

"Then make money slowly!" Na Bazi snatched the string of Buddhist beads from Li Guolou's hand, and he took a fancy to what Li Guolou liked.

"Mike, this is what we gave you." Xie Liya handed a box to Li Guolou.

The brocade box was opened, and inside was a string of court beads, coral green gold, green pine honey amber, and stone blue ribbons, which meant that Li Guolou should at least be a high-ranking official of the fifth rank.

Chen Xiangfang hung the chaozhu on Li Guolou's neck, with a pleasant smile, approvingly said: "Well;;;;;; Yes, don't be so sad. You have a seat, the money is still coming, and now you don't want it." If you pay for it, the sisters are willing to support you."

"How much is this, less than 40 taels of silver." Li Guolou was very dissatisfied with this gift and sent him away.

Yingying and Yanyan didn't seem to hear Li Guolou's dissatisfaction, and each divided up the spoils. The order was to line up to get jewelry according to their status. Chen Xiangfang stretched out the first grab as always.

"Don't talk about these boring things, eat first, eat a good meal, I will leave after a few words, there is great good news." Zhen Yuhuan is not interested in the jewelry he got, and the jewelry of a few hundred taels of silver can be doubled several times Woolen cloth?She wants to earn millions of taels back.

Li Guolou glanced at Nayan, and said, "Auntie Big Mouth, let me have a good meal, you leave, we can't let you overhear us discussing business."

"Hmph!" Na Yan didn't buy anything from anyone, she finally found a rich man, and she got involved in the noble lady's circle, surrounded by her younger brother, so Na Yan was not afraid of Li Guolou telling her what to do.

"Sister! Don't be angry, you are not Xiao Lizi's wife, you will find Xiao Lizi after Fat Chang Fat dies." That big mouth couldn't help talking nonsense.

"That bastard! Looking for smoke! I'll beat you to death with a brick." Li Guolou was furious. How could he say such shameless words in front of his daughter Li Lingling (that is, Zheng Lingling changed her surname).

That Bazi was tired of being scolded a long time ago, he didn't mind a group of ladies scolding him angrily, and picked up his teacup as steadily as Mount Tai.What does it matter?Everyone knew that there was an unfamiliar big woman sitting across the table, and she didn't even introduce her. Li Guolou's house was full of filth, but what he said was the truth.

Amidst the criticism, a table of people ate lunch, told what they had seen and heard in the Old Summer Palace, and scolded the Eight-Power Allied Forces for their looting in the Old Summer Palace. (The Eight-Power Allied Forces looted the Old Summer Palace for the first time, and they were restrained and did not destroy the garden. At this time, the Empress Dowager Cixi was still working on the restoration of the Old Summer Palace, hoping to restore the glory of the garden.) "Hey! You talk a bit Is temperance okay? There are British and French here, have you forgotten that they live in harmony?" Li Guolou did not forget to remind several patriotic grandmas while eating.

"It doesn't matter, what we British did in the American colonies in the past is shameless. Now it is considered civilized, and you should thank us British for becoming gentlemen." Xie Liya was not ashamed, but proud, and robbed For the British, it is a habit of violating the bones.

"That's right! Don't always think about cursing people. The Efang Palace was burned by your own Han people. The Eight-Power Allied Forces did not burn, kill, and loot. The army discipline is better than your Qing army." Yelia did not forget to help, and shamelessly talked about military discipline above.

Li Guolou sighed and said: "Yes! Who can imagine that the troops of the Eight-Power Allied Forces were provided by us Qing people. When the enemy invaded our country, the people in the countryside provided food and grass for the enemy along the way, just to enrich the country. Sad history, people without shame, the books only say that the people spontaneously resisted the invaders, but did not mention the fact that the people are striving to become traitors.”

"The so-called forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds! If I were to invade by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, I would give the enemy poisonous food and poison them to death." Na Bazi lamented that he had no chance to serve the country, and came up with a poisonous plan. Calculate the Eight-Nation Allied Forces.

"There are people like this, but they will die badly," Yelia said.

Xie Xiuzhu said angrily: "Why bring up national humiliation when eating, let Aixinjue Luo worry about it, we only care about making money to support our family and have babies."

"Hi!" Mayuko stroked her slightly protruding belly, and looked at Li Guolou with a smile, she still came out on top.Yelia also looked at Li Guolou with a smile on her face. She also had a fetal gas reaction. Li Guolou's hard work finally yielded new gains.

"Yeah, let's not fight. Peace is hard to come by. I think that in 30 to [-] years of peaceful development, our Qing Empire will be able to catch up with the Western powers." Lou hoped that the peace would last as long as possible.

"Hey, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Nian Army are killing people. How did they destroy our Qing Empire? There are still people who say good things for them. They should really be used as cannon fodder." As a Manchu, Na Bazi hated the rebels deeply. There are many privileges. It is because of the constant war that the Manchus have no capital and privileges to brag about.

"Come on! For the coming of peace, let's toast!" The carefree Wu Peipei couldn't help standing up. She also felt the same way as the man said. A table of people stood up, raised their teacups, and clinked glasses led by the oldest person!

After lunch was finished, Na Yan took Li Lingling out. Except for Na Bazi, all of Cuiyun Pavilion was Li Guolou's inner room.Zhen Yuhuan said: "I'm talking about an important matter, please listen to me. I decided to start the "Please Come to the Bank" plan early, and the "Please Come to the Bank" and "Yelia Charity Hall" will be implemented together. If we want to do big things, we will come to the big ones, bet a few million taels of capital at one time, and earn tens of millions of taels of silver."

"Ah;;;;;;" The people at the table were all stunned in amazement. They went out to play for three days.

Li Guolou stood up and said: "Don't make a fuss, we just took this step earlier, with the support of our family and the support of senior officials, what are we afraid of! We established a Sino-foreign joint venture bank and registered it in the British Concession of Tianjin. Yeli Yaren was the first chairman of "Come in the Bank", if I can't fool around with a deposit of more than 1000 million taels, my surname will not be Li."

"Well;;;;;; I admire Xiao Lizi's ability to fool people, and I vote for it." Na Bazi was the first to express his opinion. , All of them are done by him, and the benefits are also easily obtained. Who said that Li Guolou's son is still in the belly of the foreign woman.

Yeliaan couldn't sit still, she was as kind and stable as a queen mother, and she controlled her inner excitement. She was about to rewrite the history of the banking industry for thousands of years, and all her great achievements would write her legend.Who told Li Guolou to be an official?The name "Yelia Li" will be engraved on the historical monument, and her second husband Li Guolou is just a foil.
