—————

Xia Jun soon drove an armored vehicle to Shanghai. At this time, Shanghai was firmly controlled by Xia Jun. The police station had already begun to maintain public order in Shanghai. The Fifth Hun Cheng Brigade had already stationed a battalion in Shanghai in advance.

This rich land, which claimed that selling opium alone was enough to support the four divisions, was already under Xia Jun's control. Of course, the loan was not under his control, and it was the territory of the great powers.

Xia Jun came to Shanghai and immediately entered the police station. The police chief Ma Hongye hurriedly came out to greet him and entered the police station. Xia Jun directly asked Ma Hongye to take him to see Li Yizhi.

Li Yizhi originally agreed to let him leave after the police station explained, but the police chief called but refused to let him leave, and he couldn't help but feel very depressed.

At this moment, he saw the police chief hurried in to face a young man. The young man was wearing a black windbreaker and looked very powerful.

"Chairman, this is Li Yizhi, who has just returned from Germany." Ma Hongye introduced, and then said to Li Yizhi: "This is Chairman Xia, our Supreme Head of Interim Politics in East China."

Xia Jun stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Yizhi enthusiastically. He said, "Director Ma just called to report that Brother Li is concerned about water conservancy and is an expert in water conservancy. He made me feel overjoyed and hurried over to meet Brother Li. If you are negligent, I hope Brother Li will be welcome."

"Where, where." Li Yizhi's expression was a little unnatural, obviously not very good at speaking clichés. Xia Jun didn't care and gestured to him enthusiastically: "Sit down, let's talk, Director Ma, go and have tea."

Hong Ye became a temporary servant and hurried to serve tea.

The two sat down, and Xia Jun first had to talk to Li Yizhi! He was a revolutionary party after all. Although Xia Jun didn't know what it was, if he wanted to join the Baath Party, he naturally had to do ideological work.

"Brother Li, look around the land of China. Floods and droughts occur every year, and sometimes they occur frequently. The reason is the water conservancy problem. Since the establishment of the East China Provisional Affairs Bureau, I have wanted to repair water conservancy many times, but there are no professional talents. It is really depressing!" Xia Jun said to him and said, "Director Ma just called me to report that Brother Li is a water conservancy expert, so he asked him to keep you. Brother Li, don't blame me."

"It's okay, it's okay." Li Yizhi said quickly. Xia Jun's soft words were so gentle, and he would be relieved even if he was angry. Besides, he valued him!

"We have few temporary governments in East China who are engaged in water conservancy, and we are not professionals, so we are not very familiar with this. However, floods in East China are everywhere every year, and it is a great blessing to meet Brother Li. I wonder what Brother Li thinks about the current water conservancy in China?" Xia Jun asked Li Yizhi, thinking, find common language first to resonate first, and then talk about it. No matter what Li Yizhi said, just flatter him.

Li Yizhi said: "There is no stubborn flood in East China, so water conservancy is not difficult to build. It is nothing more than building flood control dams, reservoirs, and urban drainage to prevent floods. However, when building reservoirs, irrigation, shipping, and power generation should be considered..."

Li Yizhi said while Xia Jun listened very seriously, and from time to time he praised Li Yizhi, saying that people who do not know how to listen to other people's ideals and achievements sometimes find it difficult to get friends with others, or even integrate into the same group.

As he was talking, Li Yizhi talked about the Yellow River. When talking about managing the Yellow River, Li Yizhi talked endlessly, "The Yellow River focuses on sand control. The source of sand is Shaanxi and the plateaus on both sides of Shanxi. As soon as it rains, it will bring mud into the river. The steeper and steeper on both sides of the river. The more mud and sand are steeper, the more mud and sand are. Because by imitating the American sand control method, building embankments on both sides of the straits are built, it is best to fill the gullies..."

Isn’t this very similar to the Yellow River desertification control project on the exchange platform? Xia Jun thought to himself, and when he paused, Xia Jun nodded and said, “Brother Yizhi (Li Yizhi’s name) is reasonable. I wonder if Brother Yizhi is hungry. Let’s eat something first and talk while eating.”

Yizhi also felt that readers were hungry, so Xia Jun asked Zhou Shunze to get canned food. Except for accidents in the military camp, he never ate outside. The world was dangerous, so who knew if he would poison it. Of course, it would not be in general, but it was not possible to ensure that there were no special circumstances.

Li Yizhi asked strangely with the opened can: "Is there any cow in this Taohua can?"

"Yes, it is generally supplied to the military camp and the administrative department. Some are sold outside, but there is no export." Xia Jun said with a smile, and Li Yizhi said with a smile: "When I was studying in Germany, I saw that there were canned foods in the mall for sale, but only Jirou."

"Brother Yizhi, what are your plans in the future?" Xia Jun asked, and then tried: "It's better to work in our temporary office in East China to take charge of water conservancy matters."

"This... I want to go back to Shaanxi." Li Yizhi said hesitantly, and Xia Jun shook his head and said, "The world is so luàn now. How can you show your talents after you return to Shaanxi? Besides, although our temporary government in East China is limited to East China, from next year, we will allocate 10 million yuan from the finance department every year to govern the Yellow River. If you leave, brother Yizhi, no one will come to preside over it."

Xia Jun has made enough money to control the Yellow River for 10 million yuan. In order to retain Li Yizhi, it is nothing. Anyway, the Yellow River will be managed sooner or later, and Xia Jun can afford 20 million yuan.

After going through the current stage of being the most short of money, money will not be a problem. He knew that Li Yizhi wanted to return to Shaanxi to build, and his greater ideal was to manage the Yellow River, so Xia Jun believed that the lethality of this price was absolutely huge.

Li Yizhi was indeed very moved and asked, "Captain, take it seriously?"

"Of course, if the finances are abundant, we will add additional funds." Xia Jun took advantage of the victory and immediately smashed Li Yizhi to death, and immediately agreed, "Then I will stay here to serve."

Jun was overjoyed and said, "I will ask the Ministry of Administration to send you an appointment letter. In the future, Brother Yizhi will be the Minister of Water Resources of our Provisional Political Department of East China. In addition, we will add a water conservancy college to East China University to cultivate water conservancy talents. Brother Yizhi, you should serve as the dean!"

"The Chairman is very proud of it, so I am ashamed." Li Yizhi said hurriedly.

...

Xia Jun and Li Yizhi came out of the police station. Xia Jun immediately asked the guards to drive Li Yizhi to Hangzhou, and the police called You Zhengbin and asked him to prepare a letter of appointment.

Seeing Li Yizhi get into the car and heading to Hangzhou, Xia Jun enters the Shanghai Public Concession, and he wants to visit someone. There is Zhu Baosan, president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

It seems that Zhu Baosan is not the president of the Chamber of Commerce now, but it will be in two years. This person has the best reputation in Shanghai and is also famous. He can be said to be a golden signboard in Shanghai. If you want to have a loan or something, it is appropriate to find this person as a guarantee.

Zhu Baosan's rise is a legendary legend. He is from Ningbo. It is unexpected that when Zhu Baosan was 13 years old, he suddenly encountered a bolt from the blue: his father fell seriously ill and his protracted medical treatment made his family increasingly difficult. After several years, his mother Fang had no choice but to endure the pain.

The underage Zhu Baosan went to Shanghai to join his relatives, and later worked as an apprentice in a hardware shop in Shanghai. When he was in a difficult situation, he became good brothers with Yuan Shuxun, who served as Su Songtai Road, Jiangsu Censor, Shuntian Prefecture, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Shandong Governor, and Guangdong and Guangxi Governor. Yuan Shuxun was the chief lord in the Shanghai County Office at that time. The two often fucked and chatted, talking about a day of development.

During his apprenticeship, the clever Zhu Baosan saw that Shanghai was a foreign market, a mixed place in China, and foreign companies were very powerful. If he could speak a few words of "pidgin" style English, it would be of great benefit to do business with foreigners. So he had the idea of ​​learning English, but last year the school had to pay 3 yuan a month for tuition for English in tuition last year, and it was not enough to rely on his own meager monthly rules. With a strong desire to know, he found that the monthly rules money was charged to the apprentice's right to "tuition", and indirectly learned some English from the apprentice.

Zhu Baosan worked diligently in the store during the day and studied hard at night. In addition to English, he also studied business knowledge such as Chinese, abacus, accounting, and commercial letters. He was eager to learn and was eager to study. He was praised by the owner, who praised him for being "difficult, simple and honest, and he was different from ordinary people". He learned professional knowledge, constantly "recharged" and "inhaled oxygen", and became the first link in the logical chain for the success of this apprentice from Dinghailai in the future.

Later, Xieji Food Hardware Store's general ledger passed away. The owner and manager made an exception and made a decision to let Zhu Baosan, who was only 17 years old, serve as the general ledger and sales director. Three years later, the store manager died of illness and Zhu Baosan, who was deeply favored by the store owner, succeeded him as the manager. In just 7 years, an apprentice was promoted to the general ledger, and the sales director was still the manager. Although it was the owner's appreciation for him, it was undeniable and it was closely related to his daily hard work, frugal life, hard study and mastering business management knowledge.

During his time in charge of "Xieji", Zhu Baosan was dedicated and diligent, making considerable profits, and received a lot of dividends and extra remuneration. Soon, "Xieji" closed down due to the death of the store owner. In 1878, Zhu Baosan used the money he had saved as capital to open a "Shenyu Hardware Store" specializing in large hardware in Xinkaihe area of ​​Shanghai.

At this point, Zhu Baosan became a shop owner from an apprentice and joined the ranks of capitalists in the Shanghai hardware industry at the age of 30. This was simply rare at that time and a major turning point in his life.

Later, Zhu Baosan received help from a fellow villager, Ye Chengzhong, a famous Shanghai entrepreneur in the late Qing Dynasty.

This person is from Zhenhai, Zhejiang. He came to Shanghai at the age of 14. Later, by chance, he met the "big class" of Mobil's foreign company and has since risen to the forefront. He opened the Laoshunji Hardware Store and distributed Mobil gasoline, which has accumulated huge capital from it.

Ye Chengzhong was 8 years older than Zhu Bao, and "Laoshunji" opened 16 years earlier than "Shenyu". When he went to Ye Jiāo, Zhu Baosan gained enlightenment from his development track. With Ye's advice and support, Zhu Baosan moved "Shenyu" from Xinkaihe to Sima Road, Fuzhou, downtown area. This building is one of Ye's real estate. The new "Shenyu's style and scale have changed, and Zhu Baosan's identity and reputation have also risen. Later, Zhu Baosan's business scope gradually expanded and became a great businessman in Shanghai. The process of his rise was very similar to Ye Chengzhong.

Later, Zhu Baosan's best friend Yuan Shuxun became Su Song Taidao. The Gengzi indemnity happened to be handled by this person. The Gengzi indemnity did not arrive at once, but part of it came to him. Yuan Shuxun, who became Su Song Taidao, obviously did not understand what lending was. At Zhu Baosan's prompt, Yuan Shuxun loaned the Gengzi indemnity to those banks to obtain interest.

This is how Zhu Baosan's extensive connections developed. Because of his credit, Zhu Baosan's fame is getting bigger and bigger day by day. Those foreigners also went to find compradors.

Zhu Baosan had a strange temper when he was a comprador for foreigners, that was, he never said that he could speak English, but asked foreigners to ask for translators. Zhu Baosan's aura quickly spread throughout Shanghai, which made him even more famous.

It is Zhu Baosan who has absolutely good credit, so he has become the hottest guarantor. As long as Zhu Baosan is guaranteed, banks and money houses are definitely easy to talk to.

The Ningbo people who came to Shanghai all asked Zhu Baosan for protection, and Zhu Baosan had to pay a lot of compensation every year. Later, the Ningbo people formed an organization and the organization paid for the money. He did not need to pay for the Ningbo people's compensation for the insurance.

Ningbo Business Group, one of the top ten business groups in China, Zhu Baosan has obviously become the golden signboard of Ningbo Business Group. With his existence, Ningbo people can successfully obtain business funds or other conveniences.

As soon as Xia Jun arrived on loan, he soon saw Zhu Baosan who was waiting to greet him on the side of the road. After receiving the reply from Xia Jun, Zhu Baosan did not dare to neglect and quickly prepared in advance.

As a businessman, Zhu Baosan knew the benefits of having a relationship with the government, and even understood the terrible consequences of offending the temporary government in East China. Chen Qimei was caught hiding in a rented loan. Don’t think that hiding in a rented loan would be safe and sound.

Xia Jun got out of the car and shook hands cordially with Zhu Baosan. Zhu Baosan was obviously surprised to see Xia Jun so young. Then, under the greeting of Zhu Baosan, Xia Jun entered Zhu Baosan's home.

At Zhu Baosan's family, Xia Jun explained his purpose. When Zhu Baosan saw Xia Jun ask him to take a loan, he asked, "How much does the Chairman want to borrow?"

"You need as much as you have." Xia Jun said calmly.

"That's exactly..."

"One hundred million taels!" Xia Jun said after thinking for a moment.

One hundred million taels are 50 million US dollars. Zhu Baosan heard the sound of a puff and sprayed out the tea. He felt a little out of control. He quickly wiped off the water stains on his mouth with his sleeves, and was shocked to speak: "This, this, this..."

"If the amount is too large, I can take out the railway as collateral." Xia Jun said. Of course, he asked Xie Baozhang for the kind of loan that does not require collateral. Then he found a foreign bank and mortgaged the assets to borrow money to obtain large-scale funds. With funds, Xia Jun has advantageous resources, so he can carry out explosive development and even put money to repair water conservancy first. Now the water conservancy systems in Fujian, Zhejiang and Jiangxi are extremely weak, and the disaster resistance is terrible. This is one of the reasons why Xia Jun is eager to ask for money.

"Then I will give up my old face and try it for the Chairman." Zhu Baosan was not very sure, and he could only do his best to this extent.
