Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 360

"Master Fan, we only robbed a few of their treasuries and gained millions of yuan. If we stop fighting because of that little red guy who arrives in Shanghai, wouldn't it make other gangs laugh at him! Although he is the emperor's special envoy, This is Shanghai, and it belongs to our Qinghong gang, what are we afraid of!" Chen Shichang maintained respect for Fan Jinchen in his address, but he was obviously dissatisfied with his proposal to Fan Jinchen in his tone.

"Little Boss, you have to be lenient in your behavior. Do you think the little red guy really came to Shanghai alone? Does he dare to come to Shanghai alone? Besides, there is nothing terrible about this person, but don't forget that behind him is the Emperor of the Empire. He really offended him deeply, as far as the Qinghong gang is concerned, they lost a friend and gained an enemy!"

"Can we be friends with him? Allah looks at this man, he is not a soft bone."

"That's all the old man said. Anyway, my hall will not participate in any actions. If you don't listen to the advice, if you encounter difficulties, don't say that the old man didn't advise you at the beginning."

"Thank you, Master Fan, for reminding me. The business in the hall is busy, so Chen will leave!"

"Farewell!"

"Farewell!"

Seeing all the bosses leave one after another, Fan Jinchen couldn't help but sigh.It's just that the previous few actions have yielded a lot of money, and the profits made the mind stunned. Under the temptation of huge benefits, who can hold back and not be moved.Judging from the fact that this special envoy came to Shanghai alone, I am afraid that he has already received some news about the actions of our Qinghong gang.I just don't know if he will negotiate a compromise with our gang or take other actions, but I hope it is the former possibility.As the only surviving big-character elder of the Qinghong Gang, Fan Jinchen felt the slightest palpitation for no reason.

Okada Koji, the head of the legation in Shanghai, minister assistant, and head of the Shanghai embassy looked at the information sent from below, and was obviously very worried.

"The emperor's special envoy was not in a hurry, and sent people to visit many famous private banks and banks in Shanghai. Did he reach any agreement with them?"

"Mr. Assistant, according to our intelligence investigation, the bankers they visited did not mention the matter of aiding the bank, but invited them to attend the opening ceremony of the Air Force Flight Academy."

"What exactly does he want to do?" Okada Xiaoci touched his chin and blinked viciously: "No matter what, the suppression of the Shanghai branch cannot be stopped. Inform the secret spies in the Qinghong Gang and continue to encourage Harassment from the Shanghai branch. In addition, please call the ambassador and ask the military attache Matsui Iwane stationed in Guangzhou to come to Shanghai and assist me in my work!"

"Hi!"

"According to the analysis of the imperial secret service intelligence agency, the identity of this special envoy is extremely mysterious, but one thing is certain, he is highly valued by the emperor and will be the most powerful figure in China's new rise. His development is important for the great empire. , will be a threat. We can use the power of the Qinghong Gang to take the opportunity to suppress, but we must remember to keep it secret. If we can’t suppress his actions in the end, then how to win him over will be a subject that you and I need to study!"

"Hi!"

All the media reporters in Shanghai seemed to be excited by the arrival of this special envoy.It is not easy to interview this celebrity who has been in the limelight recently.

All the media in Shanghai are watching, how will this young man in his 20s turn the tide and rectify the chaotic financial and social order in Shanghai?

All of these are questions that journalists are desperate to ask.However, to the disappointment of the reporters, almost all interview requests were declined by the Shanghai City Hall.So the reporters squatted near the city hall, trying to judge the measures he would take based on his whereabouts.However, for several days in a row, in addition to seeing groups of naval soldiers escorting cash from Tianjin and Hangzhou to the Shanghai branch, only relevant important officials from the city hall visited Shanghai Wang gentry, bankers, and foreign financiers like lanterns. , and nothing else unusual.

Soon, a series of news came back from outside.First of all, the Shanghai branch reopened, and a team of heavily armed guards were stationed at various savings outlets.With the existence of this guard army, and the bank's announcement that all deposits can be cashed out, the depositors were a little apprehensive, and their actions calmed down a lot.

The second news came from Beijing. The Ministry of War of the Empire officially announced that it would borrow 1000 million yuan from the Shanghai Branch of the Imperial Savings Bank to pay for the European military expenses.The implication of this news is that the Shanghai branch dared to lend money to the Ministry of War at this critical juncture, which proved that they were rich and powerful and didn't care about the run on the bank at all.

The third piece of news is that hundreds of factories in the Shanghai-Hangzhou area announced the establishment of the China Federation of Industry and Commerce, headquartered in Shanghai.Members of the alliance communicate with each other, share information, cooperate and compete.At the same time, a piece of news announced by the China Federation of Industry and Commerce immediately attracted everyone's attention.The China Federation of Industry and Commerce has formed a strategic partnership with the Shanghai Branch. All factories in the alliance can obtain loans from the Shanghai Branch first. At the same time, all the operating accounts of each factory are opened in the Shanghai Branch, and the Shanghai Branch is the designated settlement bank for large-value transactions. With more than 100 factories, how big is its business operation network?Moreover, the inter-factory transaction transfer business and check business opened by the Shanghai branch are countless times more convenient than cash transactions.Many people fall in love with this method instantly just after trying it!So it took almost no effort to let the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry be formed quickly.

The last piece of relevant news is that the Shanghai Branch quickly announced their financial report to everyone. According to the report, the savings of all depositors have been fully utilized, and there is absolutely no doubt about their safety.As long as the savings period is reached, not only can you get back the principal, but you can also get a full amount of interest.

Guan Xuqing's calm measures seemed to make the crisis invisible in an instant.In the eyes of many colleagues, it is almost amazing.Such a master has only just arrived in Shanghai for a few days, and a crisis that seems to be overwhelmed seems to be coming to an end.No one dared to doubt the emperor's special envoy anymore.Some banks and bankers no longer reject their visits.They also responded to the invitation to participate in the opening ceremony of the flight academy.It's just that most people still keep a certain distance from it. Everyone knows that if the run of depositors cannot be solved, once the funds of the Shanghai branch dry up, all efforts will be in vain!
On this day, Guan Xuqing was taking a nap in the room, and Nie Jiku walked in slowly, seeing that the emperor was resting with his eyes closed, hesitant to speak, looking very embarrassed.Guan Xuqing slowly opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, someone wants to see you."

"Who?"

"It's from the Qinghong Gang."

"Oh? Qinghong Gang? I was thinking about how to attack them, but I dared to come to the door in person. Come, let me have a look."

"twitter."

The monarchs and ministers came to the reception room one after the other, and there was already a person standing in the room, wearing a very ordinary gray gown, with a thin body, but with piercing eyes, he was a shrewd person.This person took two steps to come to Guan Xuqing, and said with a smile: "If my guess is correct, this is Mr. Special Envoy."

Guan Xuqing nodded.

The man raised the hem of his long gown, knelt down on the ground: "Craftsman Du Yuesheng pays his respects to the Special Envoy." His voice was loud but respectful.

"Du Yuesheng?" Guan Xuqing regained his energy immediately, looked him up and down for a while and said, "Are you from the Qinghong Gang?"

Du Yuesheng cupped his hands and said, "Bucai is currently in charge of all branches of the Qing Gang."

Guan Xuqing's heart skipped a beat, this Du Yuesheng was already in charge of the largest gang in Shanghai at such a young age, it seems that this person is definitely not simple. "What do you want to see me for?" Guan Xuqing sat on the chair casually, picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and then turned his eyes to the other party.

Du Yuesheng still stood there respectfully, and said with a smile: "Caomin is here to extend greetings to the Special Envoy on behalf of my eldest brother."

"Who is your eldest brother?"

"Sanxin Company Chairman Huang Jinrong."

Gold Rong!This name is too familiar. Together with Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin, he is called the three tycoons of Shanghai Bund. They are all influential figures who stomped the north and south of the river. Together, they formed the largest underground power group in modern history.According to the investigation a while ago, the Shanghai riots had a great relationship with these three people. Now that Du Yuesheng came to him on his own initiative, there must be a deep reason for this.

Guan Xuqing smiled: "Your names are very famous in Shanghai, you may as well just tell me if you are here for business."

Du Yuesheng's face froze, and then he smiled and said: "Hehe, the grassroots have no job and no power, how can they have any business, but the special envoy came to Shanghai in person, and we, as ordinary Shanghai citizens, feel very honored, not to mention the special envoy. A series of effective measures have quickly stabilized the financial and social order in Shanghai, and the common people are full of praise, and those of us who do business also feel that we can rely on them, so this time I came here to thank you, Special Envoy." As he spoke, Du Yuesheng turned to the back The entourage winked, and the entourage hurriedly presented several gift boxes. Du Yuesheng also said: "These are some Shanghai specialty cakes bought by the grass-roots. It is not a respect, please accept it."

"Accept it." Guan Xuqing became more and more interested in Du Yuesheng. He said that the tycoons in Shanghai were all rich and rich, and they always spent a lot of money on gifts. Du Yuesheng paid a visit in person, but only gave some pastries. It was clearly a temptation. Giving gifts is much smarter than giving a lot of money as soon as it comes up.

But then Guan Xuqing raised a surprising question: "A while ago, there was a lot of commotion in Shanghai. I sent people to investigate several times, but the news I got was that a gang was involved behind this incident. Du Have you heard of it, sir?"
