    "Supervisor Wang actually knows the name of his younger sister?" Zhang Jia'ao's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty. This was beyond his expectation. His second sister, Zhang Jiabin, married Xu Zhimo at the age of 16 on December 5, 1915, as ordered by her parents.  What's the use of Xu Zhimo's talent? Although the second sister is married, she seems to be a widow, but she serves his parents-in-law at home and fulfills her filial piety.

    "Aha I heard that too I heard" Wang Geng laughed and said haha, but he couldn't say the next sentence "Is Xu Zhimo your brother-in-law?"

    "That girl from Gongquan is married to a child prodigy and a talented man. Gongquan, is your brother-in-law studying in Tianjin or Beijing now?" Song Hanzhang said with a smile, while making a red hit.

    "Hey, he goes wherever he likes!" Zhang Jia'ao was very angry when she mentioned her brother-in-law Xu Zhimo. Her brothers had a very good relationship with her second sister. When she married into the Xu family, her brothers even took care of her.  She was happy, but in less than half a year, her sister transformed from a lively and bright female student into a resentful woman who shed tears all day long.

    Although his sister didn't say much, it was said that Xu Zhimo didn't like his sister. Although he pinched his nose and got married in the name of his parents, he regarded his second sister as a country bumpkin and stayed away all year.  At home, the two of them have no emotional communication. Has my sister become a reproductive tool for the Xu family to continue the family line?

    Wang Geng saw this and stopped asking any more questions. He turned to look at Lu Ding and said with a smile, "Director Lu, if you have anything to say, let's just say it directly. You didn't rent out such a big courtyard just to treat me to drinks and playing mahjong, right?"  ?¡±

    Old Lu Ding blushed, hesitated, pushed the mahjong, and said with a smile, "Supervisor Wang is quick to speak quickly. In this case, it¡¯s okay not to play mahjong. Yuxian, you and the girls go down first, and let me talk to Supervisor Wang.  Talk privately!¡±

    Yuxian rolled her eyes at Lu Ding with an angry look, but pressed her body against Wang Geng again, which made Wang Geng below him almost stand up. The girls all knew the look, so when they saw what Lu Ding said, they all stood up.  , blessed, and each retreated. Xiao Yuxian personally served tea to the four people present, glanced at Wang Geng and Lu Ding again, and then walked out gracefully and closed the door.

    "Brother Wang, how old are you, brother? Can I call you brother?" Lu Ding smiled and invited Wang Geng to the Taishi chair on one side. The guests and the host sat down one after another. Song Hanzhang and Zhang Jia'ao were muttering something softly on the side.

    "Then I'm being disrespectful, so I'll call you Brother Lu. If you have anything to say, just say it. I'm impatient and can't bear to have too many things!" Wang Geng took out the cigar with a smile. Song Hanzhang waved his hand in thanks and took out the cigar.  After picking up his own cigarette, Zhang Jia'ao's eyes lit up and he took the Havana Cuban cigar from Wang Geng.

    Lu Dingze smiled and waved his hand, taking the cigarette handed over by Song Hanzhang. The four men lit each other's cigarettes, and the atmosphere in the entire elegant room suddenly became more harmonious and relaxed.

    "Well, Mr. Wang's cigars taste very good. With the European War, even the Cuban cigars in the Shanghai market were sold out!" Zhang Jia'ao took a sip of the cigar and smashed it in his mouth.

    "What kind of prince are you? You can call me Wang Geng or Brother Wang, but I will call you Fourth Brother Zhang!" Wang Geng waved his hands and said modestly.

    "Ocean-going ships are running the Atlantic route from the Americas to transport arms and supplies. The Pacific route's transportation capacity is tight. It is normal for luxury cigars to be out of stock. Our domestically produced Platinum Dragon cigarettes are better!" Song Hanzhang said with a smile.

    Lu Ding always smoked Sanwu cigarettes produced by the British American Tobacco Company. However, with the European War, the market was out of stock, so he started smoking domestic cigarettes like Song Hanzhang. The Platinum Dragon brand cigarettes from the Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company were  The best in domestic products.

    "Brother Wang, I won't hide it from you. We all support Premier Duan's unification proposal. But you also know that before you appeared, the Prime Minister listened to Xu Youzheng alone. We fellow Jiangsu and Zhejiang people are neither  The Anhui people are not from Beiyang. When I have to do some errands at the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China, I don¡¯t feel like a coward for a day or two. Brother Wang¡¯s appearance is really like rain from heaven!¡±

    Lu Ding was also impatient. He opened his mouth and spoke his mind directly. Wang Geng was indeed from Wuxi, Jiangsu, Lu Ding was from Wujin, Jiangsu, Zhang Jiayao was from Baoshan, Shanghai, and Song Hanzhang was from Yuyao, Zhejiang.  , speaking of it, everyone is definitely a family in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, so Lu Ding told the truth when he came up and did not intend to hide it.

    "Director Lu, I believe in different ways and not to collude with each other. If I see something right, I will stick to it. Since Prime Minister Duan is the only person I can serve after returning to China, I will never agree to anything that opposes the Prime Minister.  Yes, even if we are fellow villagers from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai!" Wang Geng said half-truthfully.

    "Brother Wang, you have misunderstood. Since Brother Lu is working as the director of the Ministry of Finance, how can heHow can we oppose the cabinet and the Prime Minister? Let¡¯s speak frankly. We are different from those people at the Bank of Communications. They are either people from Xu Shuzheng or people from the Presidential Office. They know how to make money all day long. How many of us at the Bank of China  This brother really wants to do something for the country and the nation. Isn¡¯t this your brother¡¯s long-cherished wish to return to China?  "

    Song Hanzhang spoke Yuyao dialect and Wang Geng understood it. This guy was a banker born and raised in modern China. He was the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. In his previous life, he was elected as the president of the Shanghai Banking Association the next year.

    Wang Geng thought to himself, these are the most outstanding bankers and industrialists of this era in China, including Lu Ding, who would later found the China Savings Bank, Zhang Jiayao, and even his second sister Zhang Youyi.  He was a master of financial management, not to mention Song Hanzhang, who was almost the most influential figure in the early Shanghai banking industry.

    ¡°Obviously, this group of people saw that they were vaguely prepared to compete with Xu Youzheng in the future in front of Duan Qirui, the Prime Minister. Are they planning to buy this potential stock of theirs today?  It depends on whether you are willing to part with your capital.

    "Master Wang, since you have worked in a bank in Manhattan, New York, USA, you naturally know that the most important thing when opening a bank is credibility. Last year, the government actually ordered the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications to stop exchanging banknotes. Such measures that harm the country and the people are not development.  Finance is just playing the role of a national gangster!" Zhang Jia'ao said while beating the drum.

    This guy is also dressed in a suit and has a handsome appearance. When he was served by a beautiful woman just now, he was more of a gentleman than Song Hanzhang. There are several concubines in the old Song family, and his ability to socialize in the romantic field is definitely better than that of the fourth young master of the Zhang family.

    "Brother, I've just come back to China. I'm afraid that whether it's in the cabinet or the government, especially in the financial field, I'm probably not as effective as Brother Lu. You why are you looking for me?" Wang Geng narrowed his eyes and started to talk.  net.

    "Hi! Brother Wang, no matter how old I am, how many years older than you are? How can it be unclear about the current situation? Who can speak in front of the Prime Minister? Apart from Xu Shuzheng, you are the only one, Supervisor Wang.  "Not only are you the supervisor of war participation and the supervisor of negotiations with the United States, you are also the prime minister's national policy adviser and foreign and military secretary, and you have heavy troops stationed in Gyeonggi. If your words don't work, who will?" Lu Ding said anxiously.

    "A good man has three gangs. Although I, Wang Geng, am trusted by the Prime Minister and have so many burdens on my shoulders, I can't make a living without rice. I can't do it alone! The headquarters that supervises the preparations for the war are all members of the 16th mixed brigade.  , and the Supervisory Office for U.S. Negotiations has not even found a secretary or translator. Although Xu Youzheng gave me a residence in the name of the Ministry of War, the adjutant who just sent me is still his nephew. "

    Wang Geng let out a long sigh, looking a little lonely as a hero.

    Lu Ding, Song Hanzhang and Zhang Jiayao looked at each other for a few times, and their hearts were lifted. This Wang Geng is a wonderful man. We wanted to hug his thick legs to repay him, but this guy yawned and stretched out his legs. It seems that  There is a way!

    "Brother Wang, we are not lying. In the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai banking circles and the Chamber of Commerce, Lao Song and Mr. Zhang are still useful. In the Ministry of Finance and the Bank of China Head Office, Lao Feng is also one of our own. If you can trust us  A few, from now on we will only follow your lead, brother Wang!" Lu Ding leaned over and stared into Wang Geng's eyes, saying word by word.
