The journey starts from the Titanic

Li Yutang was willing to help, but it was a pity that Guangdong Bank was also relatively tight at the time. Some shareholders in the bank were not optimistic about the confrontation between Nanyang Tobacco and British American Tobacco, so Jian Zhaonan’s loan to Guangdong Bank was not approved.

Fortunately, he was lucky. With the help of Meihua, Nanyang Tobacco finally got through the difficulties.

"Lao Li has praised it. It is not easy for Chinese to do business. They should support each other. Maybe one day Meihua will also ask other Chinese businessmen to help us! Helping Mr. Jian is also helping us, and it is a good investment!"

Situ Nan smiled modestly and asked, "I didn't expect Lao Li to know the news. I believe you have a good relationship with the Jian family?"

"That's right! I was helped by the elders of the Jian family in my early years." Li Yutang replied.

Failing to obtain the loan for Nanyang Tobacco Company made him feel a little sorry. Later when he was going to raise funds for Jian Zhaonan brothers through other channels, Jian Zhaonan came back from Nanyang and told Li Yutang that Nanyang Tobacco had received investment from Meihua.

Situ Nan didn't expect Li Yutang to have a good relationship with the Jian family.Jian's family is now Meihua's friend, and a friend's friend may also be a friend.In that case, Meihua Company can also get closer to Li Yutang.

"It is estimated that Li Yutang also knows many things about Meihua from Jian's house." Situ Nan thought.

After a little joke, the next conversation went smoothly.

Li Yutang said, “It’s not a big problem for Meihua to buy a stake in Guangdong Bank. It’s just that the issue of the share ratio remains to be discussed. I have to discuss with other shareholders to make a decision. Also, I suggest you also visit Lu Pengshan as long as he I also agree, then this matter is passed."

Guangdong Bank Corporation was founded by Li Yutang, Lu Pengshan and others, and most of the shares of the bank are also concentrated in their hands. Li Yutang has the most shares at 25%, and Lu Pengshan is second with 22%.

The shares of the two people add up to almost half, and Guangdong Bank has been in their hands since its establishment.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your guidance. The juniors are grateful." Situ Nan nodded to Li Yutang.

"Come on? I know that American China Bank is much better than Guangdong Bank. Even if I disagree, you have other ways. According to your Situ Nan's strength, this is easy."

Don't point out Li Yutang, his sophisticated eyes seemed to see through Situ Nan.

He was right. The investment in Guangdong Bank by American China Bank was really nothing compared to the entire William Consortium. Situ Nan seemed to be too small in his management.

How does Li Yutang know about himself?Situ Nan had some questions in his heart.He smiled slightly, "Isn't this respecting you, Mr. Li!"

"It's like what old Situ said, slick!" Li Yutang glanced at Situ Nan, not in a good manner.

Old Situ naturally refers to Situ Meiden.

Situ Nan immediately responded: "Old Li, do you know my uncle?"

"Yes! Why didn't I know? When I went to the United States, I got a lot of help from him, and that guy Lu Pengshan, who was bullied by white men in business in San Francisco, was also the old Situ who came forward to settle things. Otherwise, he has today. ?" Li Yutang said.

Recalling the past, I can't miss it.After thinking for a while, he said again: "It's just that after the success of Xinhai, the comrades have their own ideas, and misunderstandings and disputes have increased. The three virtues ran back to the United States in anger, and the old Situ also gradually returned. He has not been seen for many years. There are not many brothers in the League of Nations."

The tone was unspeakable, and he also slightly infected Situ Nan and Lin Yimin.

Situ Nan really didn't expect Situ Meideng and Li Yutang to have such a connection.

Listening to Li Yutang say this, it seems that he is also his own?!

Situ Nan was a little happy, and Lin Yimin also smiled. He knew that Meihua's shareholding in Guangdong Bank was a certainty.

Having such an old relationship is also of great benefit to his future career for Meihua.

"The old man will be coming from Nanyang in the next few days, and then you can have a good gathering." Situ Nan laughed and told Li Yutang the good news.

Situ Meideng and Huang Sande are visiting their old relationship in Nanyang, and they have contributed a lot to the public affairs.After Situ Nan left Nanyang, many Chinese families began to lean toward the Zhi Gong Dang, and the influence of the Zhi Gong Dang expanded a lot.

As Zhi Gong Dang focuses on overseas Chinese affairs and runs for overseas Chinese, it gradually has a tendency to become a spokesperson for Chinese interests.Compared with the Revolutionary Party, which only asks for money, the minds of overseas Chinese have also begun to change.

Situ Nan heard about it, and he was secretly happy, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and he still thought about business more often.

After a conversation, the relationship between the two parties became much more harmonious.Situ Nan picked up some things in the United States and told Li Yutang, and Li Yutang also told a lot about Situ Meideng and other overseas Chinese in North America.

The topics mainly focused on business or custom anecdotes. Seeing that Li Yutang seemed to be tired of politics, Situ Nan also carefully avoided such topics.Coupled with Lin Yimin's jokes on the side from time to time, the host and the guest can do everything right.

After coming out of Li's house, Situ Nan was already a little drunk.

In the silent night, thousands of lights are on.Looking back at Li's villa, the warm light in the night made Situ Nan a little dazed.

"You can go home soon!...Go home..." Situ Nan murmured.

"Well. Go home!" Lin Yimin told the driver to drive.

"Meihua has invested in Guangdong Bank, so it has to use the money for its own use. Well, will it be possible for the Guangdong banking industry to invest in Country Garden in turn? Master...Master..."

Lin Yimin turned his head and saw that Situ Nan was already asleep.

The next day, Lin Yimin went to Li's house again and told Li Yutang of his thoughts. Li Yutang was also a little moved.

He is also optimistic about the new city construction in Dongshan. In addition to Country Garden, many overseas Chinese with pockets and pockets return to Guangzhou and plan to buy land and build houses in Dongshan, but the scale is not as large as Country Garden.

Guangdong Bank’s investment in Country Garden was also profitable. Li Yutang initially agreed to Lin Yimin’s plan, and the two hit it off.

To show his sincerity, Lin Yimin plans to go to Hong Kong in person to visit Lu Pengshan and other shareholders of Guangdong Bank.Just as Li Yutang was going back to Hong Kong, he arranged for Lin Yimin to take a boat together.

After Li Yutang left, Situ Nan couldn't wait to move back to his "home" and personally installed a plaque that read "Situ Mansion", which he had prepared earlier.

The Situ Mansion is a garden villa style with courtyards on the front and back. The main building is mostly two or three floors. The exterior walls are built with red bricks and cement steel reinforced structures. Most of them are imitations of Rome and Greece. The entrance of the porch is in the form of voucher arch and mountain flower top. The form is novel, and the auxiliary buildings are mostly flat-topped, with clear water red bricks on the exterior walls.

The villa combines Chinese and Western styles, and the environment is quiet and beautiful. Laura immediately fell in love with it.

Seeing Laura happily instructing her servant to arrange the Situ Mansion, Situ Nan also came in interest.He tried his best to participate in the layout of Situ Mansion according to the memory of his previous life.

This makes Laura a little strange.Because Situ Nan usually seldom cares about these things.

Situ Meideng is the first guest to enter the Situ Mansion!

It's just that after I heard that Lin Yimin and Li Yutang went to Hong Kong, Situ Meideng stayed hastily for the night and didn't make much stay. The next day, he went to Hong Kong to meet with his old friends.

Within a few days, Lin Yimin returned from Hong Kong. He enthusiastically told Situ Nan: “Master, the old man’s shots are really different, and they are all negotiated. We have acquired 25% of the shares of Guangdong Bank, and Guangdong Bank also invested 150 Wan to Country Garden. Look, this is a contract!"

"Haha. The money went around and returned to our hands. Not bad, just do it!"

Situ Nan smiled and thought: I guess the old Situ also contributed a lot!It now appears that the rectification of Anliangtang and Situ Meiden's involvement in Zhi Gong Dang were indeed right.

The old guys may not be as good as those of Meihua's young people in business, but they also have a lot of energy. The social relationship is there, and they can be eaten. If used well, it will be of great benefit to Meihua!

Situ Nan didn't read the contract, but returned it to Lin Yimin, and said, "Tell me about Hong Kong?"

"Well, master. I will bring someone back this time? Maybe you will be interested in him!" Lin Yimin smiled, sat for a while in Situ Mansion, and went back to sort out the affairs of Meihua Company and Guangdong Bank.

Chapter 76: The He Dong Family

The next day, Situ Nan did not go out and stayed at home, waiting for the interesting people brought back by Lin Yimin to come.

At noon, a car stopped at the entrance of Situ's residence, and two middle-aged men walked down from it.They are from the Ho Tung family from Hong Kong, a tall and thin body, wearing a black silk robe, full of richness, and extraordinary bearing, he is the founder of the family Ho Tung; a slightly fatter and shorter, wearing a suit, with brilliant eyes , He is extremely shrewd, he is He Dong’s younger brother, He Fu, currently serving as the Chinese general manager of Jardine Matheson.

After getting out of the car, the Ho brothers stopped and glanced at the Situ Mansion.
