Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The selection of players and coaches is always in the hands of the management department, and there is only one criterion for their selection of personnel, which is the distance or closeness of the relationship;

The league's dividends will always be dominated by the management department, of course, this is also the reason why they cling to the management right;

As for the interests of investors in this industry, it can be summed up in one sentence in English: whocareyou? Who cares about you?

The hour hand points to 2013, and China is still like this 100 years later, so let's go back to the Republic of China 1912 years ago in 100.

In Xiangxi, a small place where Miao and Han people live together, where bandits, Gelaohui, Shenbing, and chambers of commerce intersect with various forces, Wang Zhenyu, the actual ruler of the four prefectures and twenty counties, has carried out a subversive political reform.

Relying on his own military strength, he successfully integrated all the forces in western Hunan in just a few months.And the reason why he was able to gain the recognition of all parties is very simple, stick and carrot.

For those who threaten his rule or disobey him, a big killing stick will be thrown down on your head unceremoniously.Now in the west gate of Jingzhou County, the heads of more than 40 bandit leaders, including Yang Shouyin, who gathered together to attack the county, are still hanging there. . .

For those who support him, his rewards are also immediate.He set a precedent for the rulers of all dynasties in China, and handed over the local civil power to these supporters.Its essence is the same as the land responsibility contract system of later generations, where county people rule the county and civil affairs take care of themselves.Clan power, business gang power, and social prestige in various places found themselves suddenly transferred from the government's rule to the government's head almost overnight.As long as they paid enough taxes for the guardian envoy, they could discuss matters other than the army in this one-third of an acre of land in their hometown.The county magistrate is appointed and dismissed by himself, and the county government is formulated by himself. There are no more airborne officials with ulterior motives coming here to grab the land, no more county magistrates who destroy their families, and governors who destroy their families.This feeling of being the master of the family makes everyone willing to take out their own private property, build roads, build bridges, and set up a school in their hometown, because the money will not be greedy by the original Shangguan, and these infrastructures Improvements can be enjoyed by yourself and your children and grandchildren.

Wealth can be laid out generously, brightened and exposed to the sun, without worrying about being targeted by the government. On the contrary, the current government has to worry about being targeted by itself. This feeling is so wonderful.

Of course, in the eyes of these tycoons, the reform is still somewhat imperfect. First, they still cannot act recklessly at the local level, because the guardian envoy actually sent the so-called judicial agencies, courts and procuratorates.Not long ago, more than a dozen congressmen who committed crimes were deprived of their identities, and four of them were taken to Hongjiang and executed by shooting.People always like to have the power to restrict others, and at the same time hate their own power being restricted by others. The existence of guards makes them feel very restricted;

Second, on the territory of Xiangxi, no matter how rich and powerful people like myself are, they will be firmly suppressed by the guardian envoy.Power is fascinating. It would be more perfect if the guards could disappear and the county governed by the people of Xiangxi would become Xiangxi governed by the people of Xiangxi. But everyone still has to face the reality in the end.Looking at the whole country, although everyone is shouting for independence, constitutionalism, and return of government to the people, the one who can really hand over civil affairs to the local governments is Marshal Wang.

Yes, Marshal Wang, this title full of warlord meaning has been widely circulated among the gentry in various counties, and it is generally used to refer to and honor our classmate Wang Zhenyu.

Historians who study the history of the Republic of China have also been arguing about a question. Is the father of China's revolution actually Sun Yat-sen who proposed the Three Revolutions?It's still this Wang Zhenyu who looks a little crazy. . .

However, in August 1912, the Belgian Frankie made an extremely accurate judgment on Wang Zhenyu: "This is a person with super controlling power. I can conclude that in at least the next ten years, unless there is a major Otherwise, the rule of this guardian in Xiangxi will be as indestructible as Zaire's diamonds. His sphere of influence is worth our risky investment. More importantly, he is different from other barbaric, vulgar, greedy and corrupt Chinese officials. From the so-called local autonomy policy of counties governed by the people, we can see that this is an official who understands politics, the law, and is very pragmatic. Since he can protect the private property of businessmen in his country from infringement, he can naturally Let our investment be protected."

In fact, there are still some errors in Mr. Frankie's judgment. Wang Zhenyu doesn't understand sex as well as he said. Even if he came from later generations, due to the education he received and the national conditions, Wang Zhenyu's concept of sex is quite vague.Therefore, he will not be soft-hearted or vague when killing opponents. As for the law, Wang Zhenyu's understanding can be summed up in ten words: "The law serves the ruler."

The reason why he chose county people to govern the county, the reason for local autonomy is very simple:

First, he is not from Xiangxi, but from Baoqing. If he wants to gain support, he must have enough bargaining chips. Otherwise, the strong regional exclusivity of the Chinese will make him a short-lived ruler without the support of the provincial government; now Well, as soon as he has this bargaining chip, no one in the provincial government can replace him.

Second, he needs money. If he wants to get ahead in this era, it's bullshit if he doesn't have the strength.And the real strength of this thing is to develop the economy and expand the army. It seems that both of these require a large amount of capital investment.And if you don't have enough benefits and don't bundle the benefits, why should a shrewd businessman pay for it?Is it true that if you really shout a big development plan for Xiangxi, the people of Xiangxi will give generously?Do your Chinese dream and go!

The third and most important point is that in the eyes of ordinary people, Wang Zhenyu has a background, and his uncle is Wang Longzhong.But in fact, compared with Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen and other representatives of group interests, Wang Zhenyu still has only one back.

For a power to become popular, it is definitely not just a few clicks with a golden finger.The military needs talents, the politics needs talents, and the economy needs talents even more.Do the math, how many talents do you need to cover more than 20 counties?Wang Zhenyu can't cover it, so simply, you take care of yourself.As long as the brother holds the gun firmly, anyone will work for him, and there is no need to pay high labor costs.

Chapter 104 Great Development ([-])

The camera returns to Wang Zhenyu's study, where three foreigners are eating local watermelon soaked in well water brought by Adjutant Song and the others.These watermelons have thin skins, so after being soaked in cold well water, they are naturally sweet and delicious, refreshing and relieving the heat.Wang Zhenyu didn't shy away from it, and naturally talked about the bank with Chen Guangfu and the other three.

"Brother Guangfu, Xiangxi is not as prosperous as Ninghu, but Brother Yu has already integrated the resources of Hongshang and is planning to develop this place."

"I don't know what the commander-in-chief is going to do?" Chen Guangfu went to the market as he went, but he had a meal with a few councilors and businessmen in Hongjiang who hosted Ye Zuwen in the afternoon, and then he knew the title of commander-in-chief.

Wang Zhenyu's throat was a little dry. He coughed and said, "Well, at present, the three banks under the Xiangxi Development Company, Hongjiang Commercial Bank, Xiangxi Construction Bank, and Yuanjiang Development Bank are still on paper, and the integration plans of the major banks are also not clear. It hasn't come out yet. I plan to entrust three people to be the general managers of the three banks, and I will not treat you badly. After all, I also understand the truth that everything is difficult at the beginning. One percent of the dry stock is a must, with dividends at the end of the year, monthly salary Then list them according to the standards of our army’s regimental commander, I wonder if it’s okay?”

The three of Chen Guangfu exchanged glances, and they seemed to be quite satisfied with this. Although they didn't know how much the monthly salary of Wang Zhenyu's regiment commander was, it was not low when he thought about it. Wang Zhenyu himself was only a brigade commander.

Chen Guangfu tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "It's a blessing for me to work for the commander in chief, but I don't know if there is a trade-off in the scope of business for the three banks? In addition, who will coordinate in terms of management? And the initial equity capital is willing to give How much?"

As expected of a businessman, he directly asked for ideas.Although Wang Zhenyu is not very proficient in the banking industry, he still knows the general direction.

"Xiangxi Construction Bank is mainly responsible for loans for industrial construction projects, Hongjiang Commercial Bank is mainly responsible for loans for commercial projects, Yuanjiang Development Bank is mainly responsible for loans for transportation projects, and other businesses can also be done. The current bank or something, I The meaning is to merge into Hongjiang Commercial Bank. So we can decide here first. The general manager of Hongjiang Commercial Bank will be held by Brother Guangfu. As for the Xiangxi Construction Bank in charge of industrial projects, Brother Hanzhang will take care of it. Brother Gongquan, my eldest brother I read your letter and heard that you are interested in railway construction, so I thought, this Yuanjiang Development Bank will be handed over to you."

The three of them had no objection to this arrangement, and immediately expressed their willingness to work hard for Wang Shuai.

"You and I will be colleagues in the future. I believe in your character, and I am willing to hand over the entire money bag of Xiangxi to you. I hope our relationship will last forever and become a good story." Wang Zhenyu said very sincerely, which moved Chen Guangfu and others. .

Wang Zhenyu thought of Chen Guangfu's previous question again, and continued to answer: "The problem of specific coordination and management is this. On top of the three major banks, the government will establish Xiangxi National Bank. This bank not only supervises all banks in the country, but also There may also be businesses such as issuing banknotes. This bank is mainly policy-oriented and closed to the outside world. The three concurrently serve as the vice president and president of the bank. I am not avoiding relatives, so Ye Laoyi will be the one. I am the chairman of the Xiangxi Development Company, so Mr. Ye is also the president of this company. In the future, you will help Mr. Ye handle the bank affairs, and Mr. Ye can directly decide on minor matters. , don’t tell me.”

Ye Zuwen didn't delay, and nodded to the three of them, expressing his acquiescence.

"In addition, the bank is currently in its infancy stage. In other words, there is nothing you want, and a lot of funds are needed for various constructions, so the funds invested in the construction of the bank itself will be very limited, so many difficulties need to be overcome by ourselves. As for the share capital, it will be relatively sufficient. The three banks will have a total of 2400 million yuan in share capital. At present, the development company has [-] million ocean funds to allocate, and the money will be allocated to the three banks according to the project. For specific matters, you should as soon as possible After completing the preparatory work, you can invite some professionals from Shanghai with high salaries, and report to Mr. Ye after the specific plan is out. I hope that the three banks can open one after another next month at the latest."

The three of Chen Guangfu quickly entered the role, and naturally took out their small notebook and pen, and began to record Wang Zhenyu's words one by one.Since then, this move has also affected all walks of life in the military and government in western Hunan. All leaders' speeches have been carefully recorded with small notebooks and pencils or pens.

When Frankie and the others heard that the Xiangxi Development Company had raised [-] million yuan, their eyes lit up instantly. . .

Thinking that the three of them would have the opportunity to take charge of the three largest non-state-owned commercial banks in China, the slightly excited Chen Guangfu and others immediately stood up and said goodbye to Wang Zhenyu. They will return to their temporary residence to continue discussing how to carry out their work.In their view, the opportunity to make a big splash has come.

Now only our classmate Wang Dashuai, Mr. Ye Zuwen and three foreigners are left in the study.Don't be surprised, Ye Zuwen, Wang Zhenyu's father-in-law, is a translator who is proficient in English, French and German, and has also worked in the Prime Minister's Office.As for the Belgians and Luxembourgers, they speak French and German.

The first person to speak was Frankie, the representative of the Belgian Belgian Belgian Bank who claimed to have discovered a gold mine. On the Governor's sale of the Luhan Railway.The profit earned from that business is astonishing. If I can follow suit, I will definitely be rewarded by His Majesty the King when I return to China, and maybe I will be awarded the title of nobility by His Majesty the King.

Based on this idea, the more Frankie, who is already a little mentally disturbed, looks at Wang Zhenyu who is calm and composed, the more he feels that this person is his own Zhang Zhidong.

"Dear Marshal Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please allow me to extend my sincere regards to you and your family on behalf of Belgian Bank." In fact, foreigners also pay attention to the necessary courtesy and greetings.

Wang Zhenyu responded with a natural and polite smile: "I wish your bank business prosperity and wealth!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Frankie immediately returned to the essence of a western businessman: "Dear General Wang, we very much hope to establish a cooperative relationship with you and make our own contribution to the development of human society. Specifically, for me, I am full of interest and curiosity about your Xiangxi development plan. Judging from the content, this should be the project with the most investment value and social benefits I have seen in this era. Let's imagine that a barbaric, desolate and backward To become the most modern and prosperous area in China, such a genius idea requires enough courage and wisdom, and of course, money.”

Wang Zhenyu looked at Frankie who was full of enthusiasm: "Yes, Mr. Frankie, you are right. I am very interested to know that you and the bank you work for can propose for this great plan full of social benefits. What a valuable opinion."

Frankie tapped lightly on the table and said: "Funding, dear king, we Belgians can provide funds for your project. Of course, the premise of all this is that your project has investment value."

Wang Zhenyu was about to speak, when Ye Ziwen's personal maid Shizuka came in with a plate of winter dates.Everyone stopped talking immediately. After Xiaoyue married Song Haomin, Wang Zhenyu had already planned to let the young couple end their service work and live another more real life.But Miss Ye still needs someone to serve her, so Ma Xicheng chose 14-year-old Shizuka to serve Ye Ziwen, who is actually only sixteen or seventeen years old.Because they were afraid of Madam's majesty, the guards naturally did not dare to obstruct the maid who was ordered to deliver Dongzao.This phenomenon made Wang Zhenyu frowned unhappily. It seems that there are still huge loopholes in the security work around him, and he wants to say hello to Zhao Dongsheng later.The next day, the guards on duty tonight, Zhao Dongsheng's nephew Zhao Songyang and cousin Zhao Chong were personally executed by Zhao Dongsheng with [-] army sticks. All the guards watching the sentence were terrified. . .

Don't talk about it, after eating a winter jujube, Wang Zhenyu asked Zhu Cihan to hand over the latest copy of Xiangxi Development to Ye Zuwen, and then looked at the three foreign devils with great interest and listened to his father-in-law bragging.

What the foreigners heard was exclamation, more than 500 kilometers of railways, steel factories with an annual output of one million tons, as well as textile factories, soap factories, hydropower stations, military factories, and cement factories. . . . . .And a model city that surpasses Qingdao - Anjiang.

"My God, this is simply building a new Luxembourg." Felix, the consul of Luxembourg in Hankou and commercial charge d'affaires of Albeid Steel and Equipment Company, was the first to exclaim.

"This is impossible, a model city that is more beautiful than Qingdao, this is impossible, general, you are making too much of a joke, you must know that Berlin, the capital of our German Empire, is not as good as Qingdao in some aspects. How dare you. ..." The upright German Hans raised his doubts on the spot.

Only Frankie did not express his opinion immediately. He was still carefully reading the plan full of great ideas, and at the same time nervously estimating how much money such a huge plan would need to support.Unlike Hansen, Frankie basically agrees with the feasibility of this plan, but whether it is a railway or a steel plant, it will take a relatively long period to take effect.

Frankie is not the same as Felix, he is playing with capital, and what he has to consider is profit, that is to say, if he lends money to this young and somewhat excessive general, how much he can gain for the company The profit and whether the money can be recovered safely are what he has to consider.As for whether the plan itself is reliable or not, how feasible it is is only a consideration of the latter's safety, not the former's decision. . .

Wang Zhenyu ignored the surprise and questioning. He looked at Frankie, who was the leading role, with a smile on his face, waiting for his speech.

Frankie said in a deep voice: "Dear General Wang, have you ever calculated how much money is needed for such a huge plan? And if our Belgian Bank can provide loan support for the general, in addition to interest, we can also get those Protection of interests?"

Wang Zhenyu said leisurely: "Gentlemen, a plan is a plan, and it will never keep up with changes. I never care about how much money I have to spend. The only thing I have to worry about is whether I can pay for what I want to spend when I earn money. Frankie Sir, compared to the total investment in the development of Xiangxi, I am more concerned about how much support your Belgian Bank can provide me? You know, input and output are directly proportional. The more input, the higher the output, so the money Naturally, the more the better. Of course, we will work hard to protect the interests of our friends when harvesting. So dear Frankie, how much help can you give me?"
