Chapter 1319 Disputes
Fang Linyan said this, but the people in the security bureau opposite were really aroused. Then Fang Linyan knew the art of conversation and the reason why the words are not surprising, and the three people in front of him were stunned:

"I came to the capital this time to raise 500 million taels of silver! Then I won't spend a single cent of this money, and I will hand it all over to Mr. Song for planning and planning, and I will do my best to the little devils in the East!"

"Five million taels of silver", "not spending a penny", "fucking the little devil in the East" and so on were directly thrown out, and even a big man in the capital like Da Dao Wang Wu was shocked for a long time Can't speak.

It must be admitted that what Fang Linyan expressed in these words was something that these hard-working quacks never even dreamed of, and this head start was exactly what Fang Linyan wanted.

While a group of people were waiting for Fang Linyan to continue, Fang Linyan changed the subject, stood up and pointed at himself, then picked up a glass of wine:

"This is Hu Zhiyun, I would like to respect everyone."

Faced with such a solemn self-introduction, the other three people must stand up and return the salute.

Then Fang Linyan said:

"My name is unknown. It's not surprising that you have never heard of my name, but Zuo Zongtang and Mr. Zuo must have heard of it."

Zuo Zongtang died in 1885, and he has passed away for several years, but he has made many achievements in his life, has a great reputation, high-ranking officials and rich salary, and is very prominent.

Whether it is the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the establishment of Westernization, the pacification of Shaanxi and Gansu, the recovery of China, the construction of the Northwest, etc., it is all achievements that ordinary officials can boast about in their lives.

Of course, his greatest achievement was to put down XJ and forcibly blocked Russia's ambitions. This is a serious national hero!

Wang Wu and the others nodded and said:
"Grandpa Zuo is a famous minister in the world, even children know his name."

Fang Linyan said very simply:
"When Zuo Gong established the Western Xinjiang, the military expenditure of the imperial court was insufficient, and the gap once exceeded 200 million yuan. My uncle mediated among them, first raising 550 million taels for Zuo Gong from Standard Chartered Bank, and then four times in HSBC. Banks, Citibank and other places raised [-] million taels."

Hearing Fang Linyan's words, Wang Wu was already extremely shocked, while a man beside him was tongue-tied and surprised:

"Master Hu and Uncle Ling are the king of Jiangnan medicine, Hu Xueyan, Mr. Hu!"

At this moment, Fang Linyan's mind is useful because he has a background, and he finally met someone who knows how to do it. Otherwise, if he pulls up the tiger's skin as a banner, it would be ridiculous if others don't understand it. He sighed and said:
"What Jiangnan Medicine King, the current Hu family can't afford to be called that, but Hu Xueyan is indeed my second uncle."

Sure enough, under the shadow of a famous tree, after Fang Linyan revealed his family background, no one felt that his previous words were just talking nonsense.

Wang Wu was silent for a while, and said very simply:

"I didn't expect Brother Hu that after you became a loyal minister, you came to the capital to do great things that benefit the country and the people! Although I, Wang Wu, can't help you much, I definitely can't do things that hold you back. "

"I don't have any friendship with Iron Butterfly Duan Fei. I just owe his senior brother a big favor, so I was entrusted to trouble you, but I will never come again from now on."

"But you have to be careful. Duan Fei's senior brother is the senior senior brother of the Ganzi sect in the Xiangjiao. He is very skilled. This person will take revenge, and he will definitely not give up."

Fang Linyan nodded, smiled and said:
"Thank you Fifth Master for your mercy, I will be careful."

Wang Wu shook his head:
"In front of you, Brother Hu, I can't afford to be called a lord! If you don't dislike me, for my seniority, please call me fifth brother! Come on, let's drink this cup."

At this moment, at the dinner table, the group of people still chatted speculatively. It was only later that Fang Linyan found out that such an atmosphere was mostly due to the contribution of Laurent who followed him.

After all, a tycoon like Wang Wu, who has traveled all over the world, has met countless people, so how could he trust him based on his words?
But Wang Wu looked at Laurent's attitude towards Fang Linyan, as if he was a servant. This is a foreigner!
Combined with the momentum of the Hu family who was hidden as the richest man in China back then, and Fang Linyan's momentum revealed in his speech and behavior, it is obvious that no liar can imitate it.

After this big drink, the store closed. After Wang Wuhui finished the bill, Fang Linyan said that he had left beforehand. Wang Wu was a little surprised and didn't say much. After walking a few steps, the one next to him The middle-aged Ma Kui said with a wry smile on his face:
"Fifth Master, I just took over a big job."

Wang Wuqi said:

"It's just a short time, where are you going to take on the big job?"

Ma Kui nuzzled in the direction Fang Linyan was walking:

"This master gave it to me."

Wang Wu was stunned, obviously he hadn't reacted yet:
"A big job?"

Another bodyguard next to him couldn't help but said:
"On the third floor of the bathhouse? Is the drink included?"

Ma Kui gave him a hard look:
"You fucking drank two cups of horse urine, what are you doing here! Fifth Master, it's really a big job for the Escort Bureau."

Wang Wu said in a deep voice:
"How to say?"

Ma Kui is usually also the accountant of the Escort Bureau, so he said directly:

"According to this master, there will be 80 taels of red goods in a few days, and they will be delivered from Chongwenmen's shopping market to Mr. Song. Please ask us to give one away, and give us three out of a hundred. .”

Wang Wu was taken aback!Immediately said loudly:
"Three out of a hundred? That's 4000 taels? And isn't Mr. Song usually in the Sichuan Guild Hall? What kind of money do you charge for this distance?"

"No, no, no, the rules don't calculate like this, and his money is used to do big things for Mr. Song, so let's just let it be if we can't help, how can we hold back!"

Ma Kui smiled bitterly and said:
"I think so too, but I figured out why this Young Master Hu didn't say anything when you were here. Even if I know that you probably won't agree, I can only discuss it with you."

Wang Wu said decisively:
"There's nothing to discuss about it. Our bodyguard agency accepted this trip, but they didn't charge any money. If they did, they would be stabbed in the back even if they died."

***
After three days,

That is, at six o'clock in the afternoon on July 1894, 7,
Fang Linyan has already received a small part of the goods in the Hengli Market in Chongwenmen. The credit of Qiao's warehouse is still very good, and a large number of goods are being transferred from outside.

Suddenly, Fang Linyan saw a somewhat familiar old man hurrying over. He was accompanied by none other than the shopkeeper of Qiao's warehouse here.

The old man also saw him, and immediately walked over quickly, and said with an angry face:

"Xiao Liu! What are you doing?"

Fang Linyan was stunned for a moment, and he remembered that this old man was an elder in the clan, named Hu Xueming, who was ranked seventh. Before that, he was quite opposed to doing things in the clan, so he said casually:
"Uncle Seven, why are you here?"

Hu Xueming said sadly:
"Why did I come? I came to Beijing to take the exam years ago. Besides, if I don't come! This family property will be ruined by you! Let me ask you, 1 taels of silver were squeezed out from the family, let you go Hand over to Mr. Li Mengli! You actually went directly to the capital, the place of fireworks, to squander it!"

Fang Linyan immediately retorted:

"Seventh Uncle, don't be bloody. I am obviously hoarding a batch of goods here. Where does the word squander come from?"

Hu Xueming said angrily:

"How dare you talk stubbornly, I have eaten more salt than you have ever seen rice. You ran to this place with the money from the clan to stock up some unsalable goods. The key is that you only paid a deposit. In the end If you lose money, don’t you want the family to support you, and the ones who lose will not be members of the public?”

When Fang Linyan heard Hu Xueming's words about relying on the old and selling the old, he knew that this disgusting thing was his elder after all, and if he argued with him, it would be too much to say and wrong, so he ignored him, and immediately looked at the shopkeeper of the Qiao family next to him, saying a word One sentence loudly said:
"I have long heard that Qiao's family is impeccable and based on faith. It turns out that's what they do. It's really eye-opening."

When Fang Linyan said this, he deliberately increased his voice, almost shouting, and this is a large-scale market, which immediately attracted the attention of the shopkeepers and customers next to him.

As for the Chinese, what I like to watch most is to join in the fun. There is also a saying that colleagues are enemies. This is clearly someone who came to trouble Qiao's family. Of course, a group of people soon gathered around.

Faced with Fang Linyan's accusation, the shopkeeper of the Qiao family changed his face and said:

"Brother Hu, don't spitting blood at others, I will lose my faith."

Seeing that there were many people around, Fang Linyan immediately said:

"Our business was negotiated seven or eight days ago. We agreed to pay the deposit in advance and pay the balance within ten days after the goods arrive, right?"

At this time, Hu Xueming roared beside him:
"Nie Zhan, you still want to be ashamed, don't you?"

Fang Linyan ignored him, and asked the shopkeeper of Qiao's house:
"dont you agree?"

The treasurer of the Qiao family said:
"That's right!"

Fang Linyan said:

"Then what do you mean by telling him the details of our transaction?"

The person Fang Linyan was talking about was obviously Hu Xueming.

The shopkeeper of the Qiao family said disdainfully:
"It's not someone else, it's the seventh uncle of your Hu family! He knows that you have a loose and carefree personality, so he has been paying attention to you and asked me to help you keep an eye on your movements. The money you use is the hard-earned money of your Hu family. Is there anything wrong with telling him about it?"

"Youdao is heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher. There is no relationship like this in the world. Can't you let your relatives and superiors know what you are doing? It is nothing more than a sage's truth to say that you are breaking the sky."

After everyone heard it, they felt that what the shopkeeper said really made sense.

But at this time, Fang Linyan let out a long laugh, and then said to the shopkeeper:

"I think the shopkeeper made a mistake. I didn't buy these goods! I just acted as a translator and middleman. The owner of these goods is Mr. Laurent from Europa!"

The shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and soon he saw Laurent walking in from the outside. At this time, Fang Linyan said sharply:

"What else is there to say! Your Shanxi Qiao family is really shameless. Under the sign of faith-based, you secretly sell client secrets! The embarrassment is thrown in front of foreigners. The state-owned state law, There are rules, what do you say about this today?"

Shanxi Qiao's family has a huge business and a great reputation, so it must be a big tree that attracts wind and attracts hatred from many people.Some of these people are jealous, and some are because they were blocked by the Qiao family, and their colleagues are enemies.

Now Fang Linyan was afraid that this matter would not be a big deal, so he started to yell first. Among the onlookers, it was not a big deal to watch the fun, and seven or eight out of ten were helping him.

If it is an ordinary person, the business of the Qiao family is so big, and the official management is also good. There is a green battalion stationed outside Chongwenmen, and the guards here should come out to be villains. "provoking trouble" charges, let's settle the matter first.

Today's defense was rewarded by his subordinates, and he immediately came out aggressively. The reason for being so active was because he had done something for the Qiao family, and the gift money he would offer afterwards must be expensive.

As a result, after walking thirty steps away, seeing a blond foreigner involved, he immediately frowned, then turned around and left, looking like he had seen a ghost.

When his subordinates asked him why he turned his head, he kicked him immediately and cursed:

"In these years, when it comes to foreign people, even the grandfather of the late emperor did not get well. He went to Chengde with oil on his feet, concubines (concubines) were ruined, and even the Old Summer Palace was burned. For the sake of Qiao's family Two silver coins, Grandpa, am I worthy of taking such a risk?"

The shopkeeper saw more and more people surrounded him, but the "reinforcement" from the green battalion was too late to come, so he panicked and hurriedly called the boy next to him to urge him, but where did he get it?At the moment, I can only look at Hu Xueming and complain:

"Hu Weng, this is what your family did!"

Hu Xueming was also a little dumbfounded at this time. He didn't expect that this nephew would finally bring this matter up to foreigners. After thinking about it, he didn't dare to get involved with it, so he could only drag Fang Linyan and curse:
"Nie Chao! What about the money given to you by the clan? If you don't hurry up and take it out, will you be defeated by eating, drinking, whoring and gambling?"

Who is Fang Linyan?If he was attacked suddenly, he might hesitate for a few seconds, but now when facing this old man, he smiled and said:

"Seventh Uncle, don't be bloody. I have lent all my money to Mr. Laurent, and there will be 30% interest for [-] days. Am I a prodigal?"

30% interest in 120 days, if converted into annual interest rate, even reached a terrifying 1%. If you borrow 2 taels, you have to repay [-] taels. Most of the people present are businessmen. A good deal.

This Hu Xueming is not a clever person, otherwise, Hu Xueyan was the richest man in the world back then. To put it bluntly, under such a general situation, it is not just talk, but Hu Xueming only became a local squire. It can be seen that his ability and character are really limited.
