"A good person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden?"

Wang Wei only got these two words from Ma De's mouth, but these two simple words hurt Wang Wei's mind. He knew that Ma De's words made them too weak to be bullied, but when did they become weak and when would they be bullied? This time, his Wang family opened a can silk factory in Zhejiang, where a female worker came out to work because of the inheritance of scholarly families in the clan and was found out by the elders of the clan, and was forcibly taken out of the factory. Moreover, because of that clan

The patriarch of the clan has also been an official and has some influence in the local area. In addition, he doesn't know the background of the silk reeling factory, and thinks that the Can Silk Factory knows that they are from a scholarly family and accepts the woman as a worker, which is an insult to their family style. Therefore, he assigned the young and middle-aged clans to the factory to make a big fuss. Originally, Wang Wei didn't take this kind of thing seriously, and at worst he could just sue. Who is afraid of whom? Anyway, it's not their Wang family's fault. However, unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of the Can Silk Factory fired all the workers recruited from the village where the clan is located because of anger.

At this moment, the fired workers stopped working. Since they came out to work, of course they were to live. Moreover, most of the people recruited by the Wangjiasheng Wire Factory were poor people. Therefore, once they were fired, they had no source of livelihood. In addition, the life of renting land from the landlords was passed. The landlords' land had been rented out. These workers didn't know how to live in the future, so they had to gather together to make trouble. When they made trouble in the strong silk factory, the shopkeeper had already given severance payments and thought they had no responsibility, so they said that they were afraid of the clan's trouble, so they were not allowed to fire all of these workers. So, the workers found the clan leader's family to cause trouble, which caused conflict, and finally they smashed the ancestral hall of the family. This was a big disaster!

It is said that in the past, even if you hit someone's head, you can't smash someone's ancestral hall. This is equivalent to forming a deep hatred. So, a fire broke out! That's not all, the clan leader of the clan was also destroyed and slandered by the villagers. As a result, he was so angry that he was hit and killed. Later, the government intervened and didn't know what to do. He didn't know what to do! Moreover, what did those workers know? But unexpectedly, the presiding official pointed the finger at the Wang family's silk reel factory and arrested the shopkeeper. The charge was: instigating workers to cause trouble and kill the court's veteran officials... This is a serious crime! So, helpless, Wang Wei had to come to find Ma De, hoping that the governor could give face and spread a message to the officialdom in Zhejiang. But unexpectedly, Ma De actually stood by and watched.

"Dad. I always feel that the Governor seems to want to stop and don't want to follow us anymore..."

Ma De's performance was different from usual, and Wang Wei knew very well what Ma De's support represented the entire Hui merchants' business. Therefore, after leaving the Governor's Office, he immediately rushed home and discussed with Wang Weihe.

"Tree moves to die, people moves to live! I knew this day would be there!" Wang Wei and Youyou sighed. He was much older, but as an important figure promoting the great development of the Hui Business Association, his words had an indisputable weight in the entire Jiangnan business circle. It can be said that if it were not for his consent, Ma De and others could not easily develop, and it would be even more impossible to develop to the current level. However, in the past year, he discovered that Ma De and Luo Xin had begun to consciously avoid their intersection with them. In the past, even if it was not an industry that cooperated with both parties, if someone was in trouble, Ma De or Luo Xin would have taken the initiative to help them, but now the situation seems to have changed.

"What should we do? Dad, without the Governor as our backing, life will be difficult in the future!" Wang Wei said anxiously.

"Nonsense! When did the Governor be our backing?" Wang Weihe looked at Wang Wei with some dissatisfaction and asked.

"Dad..." is not a backing? Why is it not a backing? This is obviously a fact! Wang Wei looked at Wang Weihe inexplicably, not knowing why the old man suddenly said this.

"Wei'er, since ancient times, we have never been passed down for more than a hundred years.

Especially big businesses like us often disappear without a trace after one or two generations. Do you know why this is?" Wang Weihe asked Wang Wei again.

"This...maybe it's because of poor management or the unworthy descendants!" Wang Wei replied.

"Don't you!" Wang Weihe snorted coldly, "Do you think those who have no knowledge of traveling around the world and finally creating such a huge family business? Don't these people know that they need to cultivate descendants who can inherit their family business to make their children and their grandchildren have no worries about food and clothing?"

"Dad, you are right. Why is that?" Wang Wei asked absent-mindedly. What he was most worried about now was that Ma De might no longer support them and was not very interested in such a discussion topic. If it weren't for the person who raised this question, he would have walked away long ago.

"At that time, Mrs. Yu gave me, Kang Siding, Cao Sanxi... Each of our group of people wrote two books. You must remember this, right?" Wang Weihe asked again.

"My son naturally remembers. The book about asset operations is often read by my son, and he always benefits a lot from it." Wang Wei said.

"Do you know what the other book is written?" Wang Weihe asked again.

"I don't know!" Wang Wei said with his head down. The two books Mo Jing gave were not noticed by many people. Except for the recipients, no one knew what was written on it. Later, the book about capital operation was spread. Although the content was less than half of the whole book, it was enough to make many merchants excited because many of the contents on it were incredible, although some of the methods were too weird. And when he received the two books he gave was given, he was very excited.

The status of those people in the entire Chinese business world is also extremely important, and most of them have the backends of Shanxi merchants and Hui merchants behind them. Therefore, before they knew it, the two books became a proof of these people's status in the business world. However, I don't know if it was to maintain a sense of mystery, the recipients actually took out the book about capital operation, but the content of the other book has never been leaked, and many people still don't know the name of the other book.

If it weren't for the fact that he was Wang Weihe's son, I'd probably not know that Mo Jing sent two books at the beginning. However, in the same way, he would not know the situation of the other book.

"That book is called "Original Wealth Lun"! It's well said!..." Wang Weihe sighed, and suddenly stopped talking.

"Dad..." What is it said well? Wang Wei thought irrelevantly.

"Mrs. Yu is a good person. Although I have never seen the general in the same place, I can believe that the general is also a good person... Of course, Governor Ma and the Governor's wife are also good people!... Wei'er, do you know? Mrs. Yu had already reminded us in the book "Original Wealth" that even if the Governor doesn't stop today, one day, this backer will not be reliable. Not to mention that they have never been our backer!" Wang Weihe said.

"Dad..." Wang Wei no longer understood what Wang Weihe wanted to say, but he could still feel that what Wang Weihe was going to say today must be extremely important. Therefore, his expression became more and more serious.

"Our business is getting bigger and bigger... Wei'er, since ancient times, scholars, farmers, businessmen and businessmen are the cheapest. Do you know why? Some people say that it is because our businessmen are too profit-oriented, so they are not in love and are often hoarded and harming the people. Yes, there are such things.

However, you, my father and son have been doing business for many years, and they should always be clearer about this kind of thing. The one who does the most land is not our merchants, but those officials and landlords... Humph, even the descendants of the Yansheng Gong Mansion and Confucius' descendants have lent loans and opened restaurants in Qufu. Why do these people look down on us merchants?" Wang Weihe said in anger, "Since ancient times, those who hold state authority have all been reading books, and those who know the words and literacy. That is, the commonly known as "scholars," said Wang Weihe.

But what about us businessmen? We also study, we know the words and words. Moreover, we know better than those scholars, how to calculate to earn benefits! ... Mrs. Yu once told us that it is not that we businessmen are inferior, but because we can easily grasp the lifeline of the country, and we are also smarter than those scholars, and we know better how to advance and retreat, so we cannot be bigger!"

"The lifeline of the country!...Dad, what's wrong with you today?" Wang Wei was a little scared. The lifeline of the country? Why did he feel a bit ominous when he heard this? He was just a small businessman. These four words were too high for him, and the two shouldn't have any intersection.

"Wei'er, you are the helmsman of our Wang family in the future, so you must listen to me today!" Wang Weihe glared at Wang Wei and said hard. Years of experience have made him expect from Ma De's performance that might happen in the future, so he had to give his son a vaccination first.

"Yes, yes..." It's over. Today the old man is going crazy. Wang Wei thought to himself secretly.

"When we established the bank in those years, Mrs. Yu once told us that if this matter was successful, it would be like a huge thing that would be built outside the Ministry of Revenue. She once told us that we should think twice before we act, and also warned us that banks may have great benefits and may also be harmful. However, we all disagree with this at that time. We only knew that if the bank succeeds, with the strength of our Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants, we can definitely wipe out the world's money houses and connect all countries! But Wei'er, do you know how powerful HSBC Bank is now?" Wang Weihe asked Wang Wei again.

"I don't know, please teach me my father!" You didn't hand over this business to me. Wang Wei said intimately. Compared with other industries, the Wang family's business in banking is the biggest end of the entire family business. As the established head of the Wang family, Wang Wei has always been dissatisfied with Wang Weihe and keeping this business unwilling to let go. It's not that he thinks Wang Weihe is like, but that Wang Weihe underestimates his ability.

"Hmph, even if the court is well prepared, if HSBC goes bankrupt, the whole world will have to be in chaos for at least three years!" Wang Weihe said coldly.

"...three years?" The whole world was in chaos for three years. Wang Wei's throat squirmed. There are currently no less than a dozen famous banks in the Qing Dynasty, which is not counting small-scale banks and money banks. However, Wang Wei also knew that although those big banks have their own names, most of these banks are under the name of HSBC. In other words, HSBC is the source of all large banks.

This is also the condition that Wang Weihe promised to let those Shanxi merchants invest in HSBC. HSBC is the head office, and those banks with names are branches. That is to say, the land and money of these banks was actually allocated by HSBC. However, he still did not expect that HSBC had such great power.

"We didn't expect that the power of banks was so great. Since the banking thing appeared, officials, merchants, scholars, doctors... almost all those who had some spare money had deposited money there. Moreover, as the territory of the Qing Dynasty continued to expand, banks were also open everywhere. Originally, our bosses were very happy. Because, all these spare money were concentrated, the business we could do was gonna be in the sea and the big ones, and as long as it was a peaceful and prosperous era, we

We hardly have to worry about the decline of our family business. We have a bank! But, Wei'er, do you know? Now, in HSBC, the emperor and generals of Japan have to beg for food. Half of the people there have to jump into the sea; the kings of Korea have to drink dilute soup; at least half of the royal officials of the Qing Dynasty will immediately become paupers; at least 40% of the merchants in the world have to start over; millions of people have to have no food and clothing from now on, and the food prices in the world will inevitably rise sharply.

Almost half of the people from the Qing Dynasty had to start to go hungry..." Wang Weihe's face was so ferocious, "Bank, this is the power of the bank! Wei'er, we are all very smart, but we were still surrounded by Mo Jing in the bank circle!"

"Dad... what you said is true?" Wang Wei was already sweating coldly.

If HSBC really had the power as much as Wang Weihe said, he should have been happy. However, if he didn't know how to do it, he just felt more and more afraid when he listened to Wang Weidi's words. A sense of fear of falling into the bottomless abyss had already enveloped his whole body.

"Why should I tell lies?" Wang Weihe grinned, "Wei'er, are you afraid?"

"Yes...yes. Dad, this...what will happen!" Wang Wei stammered.

"Yes. I'm afraid! Not only are you afraid, but I'm afraid too! There are also the old guy Kang Siding, Cao Sanxi, Wang Qian and his brothers are afraid... Hehe, who dares not say "fear," if anyone knows how powerful our HSBC is? But even though we are afraid, we never dare to tell these things, and even our relatives don't dare to tell them easily... Hahaha!" Wang Weihe smiled nervously.

"Then you still..." Wang Wei was no longer willing to think about why Wang Weihe was not willing to hand over the bank's business to him. Would the old man still lie to him? He just wanted to get farther away from that thing, and even he thought about the possibility of giving up the Wang family's shares in HSBC.

"Why do I have to continue doing it even though I know that things are so uncontrollable, right?" Wang Wei's face recovered. After hearing Wang Wei's question, he just smiled bitterly, "Child, things have come to this point. We want to retreat, but we can't retreat!"

"Why?" Wang Wei asked mechanically.

"Why?" Wang Weihe shook his head and smiled bitterly. Is there any need to ask? If he could, he would have withdrawn long ago. They were just rich people. After building a bank, they thought they had just had more money. However, people who had to greet a fourth-rank official in the past suddenly found that their power was so great... They are all shrewd people, so they naturally knew what this meant! This represents fear, and it means that they might be killed like a pig slaughtered at any time! However, they also knew that some people's swords could not be dropped so easily, because if they were picked up, the consequences would be quite terrible. Even the emperor would probably not be able to bear it. Therefore, those with ulterior motives would definitely think of other ways, and this butcher's knife might be dropped at any time.

It feels that it is not just something that ordinary people can tolerate? Moreover, who dares to say that if you don’t run a bank, everything will be fine? Not to mention that HSBC has made a large number of investments, and the deposits in those accounts are impossible to clear out at any time. Even if you can withdraw, without the identity of a bank shareholder, the protection of your life will probably disappear. Will those who are interested feel at ease with someone who knows how to run a bank? Moreover, they have been still low-key over the years, just following Ma De and others. With Ma De and others charging forward, exploring their way for them and warding off the wind and rain for them, they are not so conspicuous and afraid. But now, Ma De seems to want to hide aside and let them come out alone to face the problem...

"It's over, and it seems that it's time to think of a solution!" Wang Weihe thought secretly. The meaning of Made's words is not difficult to understand. It is to tell them to dare to face challenges. With the strength they have now, it is indeed not something that ordinary people can move. Even if they are playing, no one can win them.

"Are we tigers or pigs?" Wang Weihe smiled bitterly, and he remembered some of Mo Jingbiao's words in "Original Wealth". In that book, Mo Jing clearly marked the role of "wealth" on individuals and the country, and the consequences that this thing may have on the country or individuals after a large amount of concentration. Moreover, Mo Jing also pointed out that merchants are both indispensable and may disrupt national order in the eyes of many rulers. Similarly, they can be fattened and killed...

Judging from the past, although there are many "tigers" who disrupt national order, most of the time, they are just "pigs" that are fattened and then slaughtered. Wang Weihe understands very well that he himself is unwilling to be a pig. Why should the family business he has worked hard to create is taken away by others? Therefore, even if he has to do it, he must be a wild boar that even bears and tigers must avoid. If you want to be a wild boar, you need to start practicing from some small things. This is obviously what Ma De said.

However, although Wang Weihe had figured it out, he was still a little confused... Even if he knew, he would take this path sooner or later.
