    "Chen Zaixing, he is also in Shanghai?" Hu Keqin was stunned when he heard this: "What's the matter?" "He said he was willing to persuade Liu Zhiping of Houde Bank for us to make concessions on the discount on national debt, but he  There is a condition." "Condition?" Hu Keqin looked at Liu Zhiping's face and couldn't help but asked in a deep voice: "What condition?" "Overthrow Mr. Wang, make others the prime minister, and abolish the ban on grain imports.  !" When Hu Keqin heard the truth, he was not as calm as Shen Hongmao had been before. The wrinkles on the old man's weathered face became denser. Shen Hongmao looked at the other party's face expectantly, but deep down he didn't know that he should expect the other party to agree.  Or immediately reject Chen Zaixing's conditions.  After a while, Hu Keqin made a decision: "Tell that Chen Zaixing that I want to meet him tonight, and let him decide the location!" "Yes, Mr. Hu!" Shen Hongmao bowed and replied, but he didn't know if he was happy or happy.  disappointment.  As soon as the sky darkened, two people walked out of the back door of the Shanghai Imperial Envoy's Palace. The two people walked around and looked around. Their movements were quite mysterious. As soon as they left the alley, an unmarked carriage approached. The two  People got on the carriage, and in a blink of an eye the carriage disappeared around the corner not far ahead.  On the carriage, Shen Hongmao and Hu Keqin had cold sweat on their foreheads. It was obvious that these two people were still very unfamiliar with this kind of secretive operation.  There were two people sitting opposite, it was Chen Zaixing and Liu Zhiping. Chen Zaixing took two hot towels and handed them over, smiling: "Brother Shen, Mr. Hu, thank you for your hard work!" Shen Hongmao took the towels and snorted coldly.  He made a sound and said nothing, but Hu Keqin wiped the sweat on his face and said with a wry smile: "You two don't have to be polite. Master Shen and I are on the begging side, so we may have to suffer some hardships!" "Master Hu was joking.  !" Liu Zhiping said with a smile: "You and Master Shen are both noble people. This time it was Liu who was abrupt. There will be more to rely on in the future. After this incident, I will definitely have some thoughts." Shen Hongmao sneered.  He shouted: "Mr. Liu, don't be too humble. We have seen your abilities in the past few days. There is no need to worry about your intentions. You just need to have some conscience later! Don't bully others too much!" "Yes!  "You will have your heart and conscience!" Chen Zaixing said, "I will dare to make a decision for Liu Gong. As long as you two can overthrow Xianggong Wang and abolish the grain ban, we can give up 10% of the national debt discount!"  ?" Shen Hongmao and Hu Keqin looked at each other, and Hu Keqin said with a smile: "Xiangong Wang is a trusted minister of the late emperor, and has the trust of His Majesty the Queen Mother. How can he be brought down just because he wants to be brought down?" This old man is so old in his career.  As soon as he started talking, he planned to complain first and then explore the opponent's trump card.  Liu Zhiping coughed: "Mr. Hu, in fact, we invited you here today to show our sincerity, but we are not bargaining with you for doing business. Let me tell you the truth, I will give you 10% of the money."  Liu Zhiping plans to use Houde Bank, so even if the business is in vain, it doesn't matter if you two don't want to, you can just watch and see how long the 'stubborn husband' can stay there!  At this point, Liu Zhiping stepped on the floor and said in a deep voice: "Stop!" The carriage stopped immediately. Liu Zhiping stood up and bowed his hands to Shen and Hu: "You are a businessman, you are rude."  Please forgive me!" After that, he turned around and got out of the car.  "The old man is quite fiery!" Chen Zaixing looked at Liu Zhiping's back and smiled, loudly shouting to the driver outside: "Get to the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" At the corner of the street at the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Hongmao  He and Hu Keqin got off the carriage. Chen Zaixing poked his head out of the carriage, raised his hands to the two of them and smiled: "Mr. Hu, Brother Shen, please forgive me for being abrupt today!" Shen Hongmao and Hu Keqin looked at the carriage going away,  Sighed.  "Hu Gong, do you think they still have some trump cards that they haven't used yet?" "Yeah!" Hu Keqin nodded. He also felt this way, but he had no clue. In his decades of career experience, he had never  Having encountered such opponents, although Liu Zhiping and Chen Zaixing did not hold any official positions, they had huge power with the huge wealth in their hands, and could even compete with the imperial court.  At this time, a passage suddenly flashed in his mind: "Nowadays, those who are willing to compare themselves with the honors of rank and salary, and the entry of nobles and cities, are called 'Sufeng'". Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "The ancients  If you are sincere, I will deceive you!" Seeing Hu Keqin's behavior, Shen Hongmao hurriedly asked. Hu Keqin sighed and thought of "Historical Records".  Shen Hongmao listened to the explanation of "The Biography of Huo Zhi" and finally sighed: "Look at Chen and Liu. Although they have no official positions, they have hundreds of millions of assets. Just like Tao Zhugong, Wushi and others, they can compete with princes.  If you take this as an ordinary businessman, you will be humiliating yourself.?Now I understand why Chen Fusheng resigned from his job just after returning from Mongolia!  " Shen Hongmao couldn't help but be startled when he heard the words. He couldn't help but remember that when he first became a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, he was ambitious enough to make a career in the government-run factory in Dashun, but he was frustrated in front of the intricate yamen.  Xue Xue finally waited until he became the minister of the Ministry of Industry and was able to make concessions to carry out reforms in a few factories. Although he achieved some achievements, he still offended many people. Shen's own mistakes piled up like a mountain. If Hu Keqin hadn't secretly protected him,  I was afraid that I would be thrown into confusion long ago, and the achievements I had worked so hard to achieve would be wiped out. Chen Zaixing had told himself a few years ago that he would build the Yunnan-Burma Railway, steel plants, and machinery.  When he entered the bureau, he was still skeptical. But now, in only three years, his steel plant has produced iron, the railway exploration has been completed, and other preparations have been completed. Comparing the two sides, the gap is simply  Don¡¯t make excuses. ¡°Don¡¯t you have to be like the other person to make a career?  "A thought suddenly flashed through Shen Hongmao's mind, but he quickly pushed the thought out of his head. "Two adults!  An urgent call from Hanking has arrived!  "A voice woke up Shen Hongmao from his deep thoughts. He looked up and saw Hu Keqin taking the copy of the message from an attach¨¦. He took out his pince-nez reading glasses from his arms and began to read the contents of the message carefully.  . ¡°What is the content of the telegram?  " "Master Shen, see for yourself!  "Hu Keqin handed over the message and sighed helplessly. "Xiangong Wang asked about the national debt!  After reading it, Shen Hongmao couldn't help but said: "At this juncture, he is still in a hurry to press for money. He really doesn't know the importance!"  "It's no wonder that he was invaded by the Japanese. The Japanese invaded Ryukyu, and the Western barbarians were surrounding them. Naturally, the sooner they understood it, the better. But sending troops requires money. The Prime Minister has a heavy burden in that position!"  "Having said this, Hu Keqin sighed: "Master Shen, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the house to rest for a while!  " " Mr. Hu, do what you want!  "Shen Hongmao hurriedly gave it away. Looking at Hu Keqin's bent back, Shen Hongmao couldn't help but worry secretly whether the nearly sixty-year-old man could withstand this kind of pressure. "Do we really want to agree to their request?  But even if you agree, you may not be able to bring down Mr. Wang?  " Zhabei District, Shanghai. The word Zhabei comes from the two sluices on the Suzhou River (Wusong River). In the fifth year of Emperor Shizong of this dynasty (1670), a sluice was built on the Wusong River near today's Fujian Road Bridge, which was later called  In the 17th year of Emperor Wenzong's reign (1735), another sluice was built in Jinjiawan (near today's Xinzha Road Bridge), three miles west of the old lock. Later, it was called the new lock due to the incoming ships from the Wusong River.  In the past, trade was booming, and two markets were formed around Laozha and Xinzha. Xinzha Market was the main shipping center for shipping in the lower reaches of the Wusong River. Many factories were built in this generation because of the convenience of transporting goods, and workers were there.  Houses were built on the surrounding open space, forming a large settlement area for workers. Zhabei District has become synonymous with worker gathering areas. There was a sound of whistles in the distance, coming from several textile factories such as Yuxing Cotton Factory and Dafa Weaving Factory.  It was time to get off work, and groups of exhausted workers poured out of the factory door and walked to their residences not far away. The taverns and grocery stores on both sides of the factory door became lively, and the shopkeepers shouted loudly to the workers.  They know that today is the time when the factory pays wages, and it is also the time every month when the workers' poor pockets can only be a little bigger. They must not let it go. Yu Zhiheng walked out of the factory door tiredly.  His arms were so sore that he couldn't even lift it up. After the last incident of carrying rice and holding someone to death, maybe in order to seal his mouth, he was quickly sent to another forging factory and changed from a porter to a forger.  This can be regarded as a great benefit. Compared with porters, blacksmiths have higher technical skills and higher wages. But the problem is that Yu Zhiheng has just passed away and is still in the stage of being an apprentice.  Every day he had to pour water for the master early in the morning, and he had to pack up the tools before leaving after work. The factory workshop was suffocatingly hot, with dense metal powder flying in the air. Yu Zhiheng was so busy that he couldn't even straighten his waist.  , before he had time to process the first batch of forgings, another bundle was jinglingly thrown at his feet. He had to clamp up the horned blanks that were burned to a snow-green color, and then put them into the wide-open vise.  , there are iron products, cast iron and steel everywhere. If you want to deal with them, you have to work hard and don't even think about drinking a sip of water. Only by squeezing all the strength out of your bones can you get wages.  Lao Yu, come over and take a sip to relieve your fatigue!  "A rough voice came over. Yu Zhiheng turned around and saw a head popping out of the tavern. It was his old colleague Yu Pao from the transportation team. He was an alcoholic and usually only had a few coins in his pocket.  If you have any spare money, you must use the bad wine in the tavern to get yourself drunk.?Thanks to book friends Kumu Huangxue and Agou's Stupid Bear for the tip. I just got off work and there will be another update tonight. Please forgive me!  I hope everyone will continue to support Weber. I want to collect, recommend, and reward anything!  The troops are chasing you, Alexander!
