Part II Chapter 40 Bureau

Part 2 Chapter 40 Bureau

"Brother Xueyan, do you recognize Zheng Guan?"

Hu Xueyan flashed past the screen, and a slightly cunning smile appeared inside.

"It's you? Brother Zhengxiang?" Hu Xueyan recognized Zheng Guanying. There were really not many people in the business world who didn't know about it.

………………………………………

As soon as the sky was dawn, the door of Fukang Money House was crowded with customers coming to withdraw money. Waiting was always anxious, seeing that the sun had risen, Fukang had no intention of guarding the door, and the crowd gradually became turbulent. A few people with a rascal look at the crowd, and they looked at each other and clamored together: "Fukang has no money, so I dare not open the door."

This made me mess up. The crowd rushed to the door one after another. Some people slapped the door hard and shouted, "Open the door and return my money."

When someone started to make a fuss, the scene suddenly became good. Some of the customers were dejected and had a little pale complexion. Some of them had poor control ability and sat directly on the ground, beat their chests and stamped their feet and began to cry.

"Get out of Hu Xueyan, Hu Xueyan will accompany me with silver." Several thugs took the opportunity to shout. Some customers were already looking around to see if there were any suitable guys to smash the door. When the scene was about to be controlled in the city, the door creaked and opened. Hu Xueyan, with a calm face, appeared at the door and bowed to everyone and smiled: "Dear fellow villagers, it's only time now, I'm in a hurry to withdraw money. Don't worry, I, Hu Xueyan, will not lose one cent for everyone. Please line up according to the rules and come one by one."

When the customers saw Hu Xueyan, the real owner, appeared, they immediately became quiet. When they heard Hu Xueyan say that everyone could get the money, their faces suddenly became much quieter. Hu Xueyan smiled calmly and directed the staff to open the door to pick up customers, asking everyone to line up.

After the team was stable, Hu Xueyan calmly sat down on a chair in the lobby, holding a cup of tea in his hand, and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, Hu Xueyan is sitting here today until everyone left with satisfaction."

Several rookies looked at each other in disappointment, quietly retreated, and stood outside the gate from afar and looked at them.

The shopkeepers were all energetic, quick-witted, and the abacus was shaking. In less than half an hour, more than one hundred customers took away about 300,000 taels of silver. Hu Xueyan sat there without frowning, and always looked at everything in the lobby with a smile.

Suddenly, a man stood at the gate and shouted loudly: "The person is here to receive the money." His voice was quite loud, and all the customers who were withdrawing money looked back.

There were more than a dozen cars parked at the door, all of which were packed with boxes.

Hu Xueyan greeted him with a smile on his face, bowed to the man and said, "This friend, Hu Xueyan, the boss of Fukang Money House, what do you think of friends?"

The visitor smiled and bowed, "You are the God of Wealth? You are so respectful and respectful! You don't have the surname Chen, and you are a servant, so you don't need to report your name. I'm here to follow the instructions of my master, and I'll come to Fukang Money House to deposit the money. I'm sorry, please go out and take a look."

Hu Xueyan hurried up and stretched out his hand and said, "Please, Boss Chen! Please!"

After leaving the gate, the man waved to the convoy at the gate and shouted loudly: "Unbox!"

Brush! More than a dozen boxes are opened together, and each box is filled with snowflakes and silver, which is dazzling under the sun.

"You have seen it clearly. This trip is 2 million taels in total. I'm sorry, please come and take a look."

Hu Xueyan immediately turned around and bowed apologetically to a client: "Everyone, please wait a moment. The business is coming. There are too few business people and I can't be busy. Everyone is a little patient, can I line up in a line?"

Two of them were stopped at the original three payment windows. The guy inside came out to help, carried the silver into the money house, and after checking the quality of the silver in the classroom, weighing and measuring it.

After a lot of busyness, it took an hour to move the money into the banknote one by one.

"This is your certificate of deposit. You have already taken it. The rules of the bank only recognize the order." Hu Xueyan smiled and handed the certificate of deposit to the man named Chen. After hearing what Hu Xueyan said, the man couldn't help but smile: "Our master said, where is the reputation of the bank in the world that is better than Fukang? You are not even greedy for the dead people's money, and can you still rely on the bank's money?"

There is an allusion to the words of the man surnamed Chen. Not long after Hu Xueyan opened Fukang, a Sichuan-born officer went to Fukang to save more than 10,000 taels of silver. He didn't even ask for a certificate of deposit, so he kept it in Fukang. Later, the officer died in battle with the Taiping Army. His colleagues went to Fukang to talk about this matter and planned to help the officer send the silver back to his hometown. Hu Xueyan could have not paid the money, but everyone died and there was no evidence of death. As a result, Hu Xueyan didn't say anything, and even paid off all the interest. This matter was a good story for a while.

"I'd like to ask again, why is the name of the Lord?" Hu Xueyan showed off his thoughts of wanting to ask clearly and clearly. As a result, the man surnamed Chen smiled and said, "Don't ask this, in short, there will be money to deposit to you these days. Goodbye!"

For three consecutive days, two million taels of silver were deposited in front of everyone. This time, the whole of Shanghai spread. The mysterious customer deposited huge amounts of silver into Fukang. The rumors that Fukang had no silver turnover were instantly broken. Such news has always been very fast. Three days later, the news came to Hangzhou. The just-split signs of a bank run were immediately poured on the head and extinguished.

The highlight happened on the fourth day. A customer with a jewel of jewels sat in Fukang and sent out a stack of silver notes to get the silver. The stack of silver notes was 1.5 million taels.

Some customers who were in normal contact immediately noticed this scene, but watched Hu Xueyan instructed his friend to carry out fifteen boxes of snowflakes, unboxing and verifying in the classroom, and paying the principal and interest. This time, Hu Caishen's name was even louder. You must know that these customers have never seen so much money in their lifetime.

The rumors were terrible. Within three days, there were rumors outside that Hu Caishen paid 10 million taels of silver for customers on the spot, and the money carried out from the bank warehouse was filled with the whole house.

……………………………………

The further southwest, the road became more and more difficult. However, the difficulty of the road did not seem to cause much trouble to the teams traveling on the mountain road. The team at No. 60 or 70 was wearing a special military uniform, wearing big-headed leather shoes, a round-edged hat on its head, carrying Mauser quickly, making neat footsteps, silently moving towards the southwest.

Chen Congyun, who was riding on the horse, looked stern and followed the team silently. There were more than a dozen carriages behind the team, some of which were free and some were pulling goods. On one of the carriages were three people, including Zhan Tianyou, Kuang Rongguang and Wu Yangzeng.

Chen Congyun felt a little regretful when he only got these three people, but stayed in Shanghai and called Zheng Guanying to say that Zheng Guanying had contacted three or four school children who had returned from studying abroad. In a few days, Zheng Guanying would take them on the way to Vietnam.

The team had to walk for two hours every day. This was proposed by the aftershock, and Chen Congyun immediately agreed. In this way, the young team, led by an equally young leader, continued to move forward. It had been five days since they walked. Chen Congyun and everyone ate and lived together, and sometimes walked with them.

This team was very attractive to Zhan Tianyou and the other three. Especially Zhan Tianyou, who had worked in the Fuzhou Navy and fought with French men with real swords and guns. Seeing the new military uniforms worn by the students, Zhan Tianyou later asked Chen Congyun to have military uniforms too. Chen Congyun had to find a tailor to make the production overnight, and finally put them on before he set off.

"Driving!" Riding a donkey, Stephen struggled to chase after him, shouting, "God General, where did you find this horse? Can this be called a horse?"

Chen Congyun was not ashamed of being aware of the donkey or a horse at all, but turned around and smiled at Stephen, "Mr. Stephen, do you suspect that I am cheating on you?"

Stephen was really able to take risks. I heard that Chen Congyun's army was in Vietnam and was going to Vietnam to take a look. Anyway, the business in Guangzhou was half-dead. It would be better to follow Chen Congyun on the road, and maybe get a large number of orders. However, Stephen suffered a lot along the way. Chen Congyun consciously trained his team. He camped in the wild every night and ate rice cooked in a marching pot. The vegetables were pickles brought from Guangzhou, and wild vegetable soup that could not be seen at all. Stephen's belly kept experiencing sour water these days.

"Oh, how dare I doubt your character?" Stephen said with a smile on his face. In fact, he wanted to ask Chen Congyun, General, do you have any character? Is there anyone you treat your customers like this?

"Hahaha!" Chen Congyun looked at Stephen's a little aggrieved expression, smiled proudly, patted Stephen's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Mr. Stephen, have you heard of sewing machines? I think there should be such a thing in the United States, right?"

Stephen nodded repeatedly and said, "The sewing machine is not a new thing, it has been available for a long time. Why did Your Excellency General think of asking this?" Chen Congyun smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Stephen."

Stephen was a little confused and asked in confusion: "Why should you congratulate me?"

Chen Congyun said: "If you can organize a fair-priced sewing machine supply, then congratulations to Mr. Stephen, you will get my first order, five hundred sewing machines."

"Oh! yes" Stephen Anna couldn't help but screamed excitedly. For the sake of orders these days, there were many sets of Chen Congyun's words. As a result, Chen Congyun had never expressed his opinion and suddenly threw out an order of 500 sewing machines. Although it was not the expected leather shoes order, 500 sewing machines were not a small deal, which made Stephen not happy.

Chen Congyun took the opportunity to hit Stephen and said, "Mr. Stephen, don't be too happy too early. After you have finished your inspection in Vietnam, I guess my logistics minister has also come from Shanghai. You will have to face his test at that time. Without his consent, you can't get an order." Stephen immediately became nervous when he said something.

"Your Logistics Minister? Who is he? What's his name?" Stephen began to draw Chen Congyun's mouth again. At this time, the team in front suddenly stopped. Chen Congyun looked at the sky. The sun was about to set, and he thought the team was going to camp.

There was a rapid sound of horse hooves in front of him, and Li Yaozu, who was carrying the road, galloped towards Chen Congyun, and shouted far away: "Sir, Longzhou! Longzhou has arrived."

Chen Congyun was shocked and finally arrived in Longzhou! After walking for a long time, he could reach Zhennan Pass. After passing Zhennan Pass, he would be Vietnam!

Looking back on the experience of coming to this world, scenes flashed through my mind. China in this era is like a pool of stagnant water. Even if a stone falls occasionally, it will only make a slight ripples. Looking at the gradually approaching Longzhou City, Chen Congyun thought to himself: "It's a matter of turning things around. It's just a storm that runs naked to the Qing Dynasty. What can you not bear to give up?"

……………………………………

When Chen Congyun led the team all the way to the southwest, a ship slowly sailed out of Shanghai Port. The final destination of this "Lisa" passenger ship was Liverpool, England.

The person who saw him off gradually became blurred. Tang Shaoyi stood by the side of the ship, looking at the southwest. His destination was Nanyang, shouldering an important mission assigned by Chen Congyun. He went to Nanyang to recruit a group of young people who had received Western education to play in Vietnam. To be honest, Tang Shaoyi always felt that Chen Congyun was not like a political person, but like a businessman. This feeling was a bit weird, and it also made Tang Shaoyi feel a little confused about his future.
