Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Tinglan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The North Market, which he had planned for a long time, finally came to the time when everything was ready, and he could relax a little. Drain the bone marrow of this guy, and take the land they hold in their hands.

Because Shanqi and Shengyun were felons who conspired against the country, they were guarded in the barracks of the 27th Division, surrounded by soldiers guarding day and night. Su Liangzhen had interrogated them several times, and these two old guys still wanted to resist. In the end, say nothing.

However, Su Liangzhen also has enough solutions. After all, he holds a large number of documents in his hand, as well as physical evidence of treason. It doesn't matter whether they say it or not.

"Shanqi, I advise you to cooperate with us honestly and stop thinking about who can save you. Don't you know that the Japanese have left you alone?"

"Hmph, you are like an ant, what qualifications do you have to interrogate me? I am the prince of the Qing Dynasty. You sent me to Beijing. I want to see Yuan Datou. Let me see if he dares to kill me!"

"Prince Su is such an old man." Zhang Tinglan walked in with a smile. He had already heard the conversation between Su Liangzhen and Shanqi outside. At this time, the old man was still determined to send him to Beijing. Of course Zhang Tinglan knew Beiyang The relationship is intricate, from Yuan Shikai down to the old bureaucrats of the Qing Dynasty, and the powers of the foreign powers are powerful, and it is hard to say whether Shanqi will live or die when he arrives in Beijing, and the whole case may not be settled.

"Shanqi, you have a beautiful idea, but let me tell you, this is a beautiful dream. Have you forgotten our origins? You honestly confess your treason, and then contribute all your property. If you cooperate honestly, what can I do?" Guarantee your life, maybe even send you to Beijing and hand it over to President Yuan Da. If you are not obedient, at your age, you will be shocked, frightened, restless, and you will die if you take a sip of cold water casually. It’s not a good time.”

Chapter 38 Trade and Money

After dealing with each other for the past few days, Shanqi already has an understanding of Zhang Tinglan's status through observing his words and demeanor. This is not just a simple warlord boy. Zhang Tinglan has already emerged in the 27th Division, and his status is rising day by day. Zhang Zuolin is even more obedient to him. Shanqi also knew that he was in prison this time because of Zhang Tinglan.

Upon hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Shanqi's heart couldn't stop constricting violently, his old face flushed all of a sudden, Zhang Tinglan sat across from Shanqi with a strong horse, and watched playfully that this man limp into a pile Prince of the Great Qing Dynasty.

Shanqi's reputation in modern history is largely due to his famous daughter, the famous "beauty in men's clothing" Yoshiko Kawashima. This woman is also inextricably linked to the Huanggutun incident. Contact, Zhang Tinglan originally wanted to wipe out the troubles in one fell swoop, and killed Yoshiko Kawashima in advance, but this girl was still in Dalian and escaped.

"Shanqi, I heard that you sent many of your sons and daughters to foreign countries, some went to the West, some went to the East, in short, they were not in China, and you also gave your fourteenth daughter Xianyu to Kawashima Naniwa as an adopted daughter , trying to use the power of the Japanese to restore the Qing Dynasty, do you think this big dream can continue?"

"Dedicated to death, the old man has received the kindness of his master Hong for generations, so he should risk his life to restore the unification of the country. Even if he fails unfortunately, the old man can still be famous in history, and being a Wen Tianxiang can also honor his ancestors."

"Shanqi, have you ever thought about it, even if you succeed in restoring the country, isn't your master still a puppet of the Japanese? Don't you know the situation of the Korean king? The Japanese are just wolves. You deal with wolves. Aren’t you afraid of being eaten? In addition, the Manchus should be satisfied. When the Ming Dynasty perished, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself in Meishan. How many royal relatives and nobles died in the Ming Dynasty? Several of your children died, and now you still have 400 million yuan in support every year, what more do you want?"

"That's Yuan Shikai, a dog slave who feels guilty. He betrayed the master and stole the country, deceived the emperor, and completely ignored the kindness of the master. He deserves death. If he murders the master again, no one in the world will agree!" Shan Qiyue The more excited he was, the fat on his face trembled uncontrollably, as if his ancestors had possessed them.

Zhang Tinglan has also seen through that people like Shanqi have become obsessed with ghosts, and there is no possibility of change, so he stopped talking about these useless things: "Shanqi, to tell you the truth, Beijing has sent a telegram, hoping to get the Zongshe The party's case was handed over to the central government, and the president personally appointed someone to interrogate it."

"Then why don't you hurry up and send me away!" Shanqi has been thinking about the way to survive these days, and he thinks that only in Beijing can he have a chance of survival. If he falls into the hands of these bandits in Fengtian, he will definitely not end well. .

Zhang Tinglan looked at the excited Shanqi and smiled slightly: "Shanqi, I understand what you think, as long as you come to Beijing, the Japanese will come out, the old and young of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will come out, and the old bureaucrats in the Beiyang government will come out, too. You, the former Prince Su of the Qing Dynasty, will be able to save your life. But let me tell you, don’t use this wishful thinking. Your last chance, if you honestly hand over all your property and do what I say, I will keep your dog head, if not, you will die!"

Zhang Tinglan is no longer willing to talk to Shanqi anymore. As soon as he waved his hand, several people came in carrying sacks. Su Liangzhen asked people to put the sacks beside Shanqi. He said with a smile: "Lord Su, how do you use this thing?" Presumably you don’t know it yet, so let me introduce it to you. You lie flat on the bed, we press the sack on your chest, and when you exhale, we add a sack. Based on your body, it is estimated that you can bear three Two sacks, and then you will suffocate to death. In fact, this method of death is similar to a person being entangled by a giant python. After you die, we will say that Lord Su died of grief and anger because of the hopelessness of restoring the country. What do you think? "

Su Liangzhen was still grinning, but to Shanqi's ears, these words were like a poisonous dagger, piercing his heart. He could be righteous when facing other Shanqi, but he really had no choice but to face this group of beards.

"Don't send Lord Su to heaven yet!" Seeing that Shanqi was still hesitating, Su Liangzhen immediately shouted, and the assistants at the side were about to push Shanqi on the bed.

At this time, Shanqi was finally afraid, and he hurriedly shouted: "I agree to your conditions!"

Faced with death, Shanqi finally surrendered. He handed over all the real estate under his name, as well as the secret deposits in the bank.Sheng Yun's bones were not as hard as Shan Qi's, and he quickly confessed, and took out more than 80 ocean assets from these two people, as well as more than 20 real estate properties and [-] shops.

In addition, Zhang Tinglan asked them to implicate a few Manchu nobles who did not join the Clan Socialist Party. These people were Manchu elders and children who owned real estate near the North Market. Manhunt.Although it is against Zhang Tinglan's heart to use such despicable means to frame others, these guys' property did not come from the right way, it was all the anointing of the people, and they deserved it if they were confiscated.

After some hunting, Zhang Tinglan obtained a large piece of land and 130 million in cash. Of course, according to the agreement, this money must be handed over to Lao Zhang, and only the real estate belongs to Zhang Tinglan.But Zhang Tinglan couldn't be bothered, he gave Lao Zhang an idea, that is to deposit the money in Daosheng Bank first.

From this search operation, Zhang Zuolin got a total of more than 260 million oceans in cash, as well as a large amount of opium. It can be said that he became rich suddenly, but Lao Zhang can't spend all this money all at once, and put it in the bank. Interest has become a matter of course.

But what is the relationship between Fred and Zhang Tinglan? Everyone knows that Lao Zhang's money was just deposited in the bank, and Zhang Tinglan loaned it out to buy land and prepare to build the North Market.This is a very normal manipulation, but Zhang Zuolin is a little depressed, his feelings are in vain, the money still falls into Zhang Tinglan's hands, it's just a change of appearance, old Zhang yelled that he was fooled!

Although he jumped into Zhang Tinglan's trap, Lao Zhang was still very happy. The evidence of the Clan Socialist Party's case was very sufficient. After arresting a group of people in succession, he reported the situation to Yuan Shikai. Zhongyuan Jinkai greatly exaggerated the harm of the Zongsha Party, and fully highlighted Lao Zhang's wisdom and martial arts.

He also wrote that this operation captured the two leaders of the Zongsha Party in one fell swoop, with more than 100 main members, and eliminated a major hidden danger of Fengtian security. Zhang Zuolin can be called a great contribution.As soon as the telegram was sent out, Yuan Jinkai recruited many reporters and showed them the seized dragon robe official seal and other evidence to prove the plot of the Zongshe Party.

The reporter's mission is to search for news all over the world. The remnants of the former government tried to rebel. Newspapers also praised Zhang's decisive action.

Zhang Tinglan is also behind the scenes to push the media to publicize. He did this to advertise Fengjun, showing that it is a reliable army that sincerely maintains local security. In addition, he also put pressure on Beijing to force Lao Yuan to face up to this problem. .Since the demise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, some elders and children have been relentless and wanton activities, which have a serious impact on national security, but the Beiyang government is very slow on this issue, and Zhang Tinglan has to use the power of the media to put pressure on them.

While he was busy, his old friend Fred invited Zhang Tinglan over to have a talk, and he immediately regained his energy. As the cooperation with Fred became closer and the benefits he reaped increased, he was very happy. It is clear that I am afraid that there will be good news again this time.

After Zhang Tinglan arrived at Daosheng Bank, Fred had been waiting for him outside the reception room. Seeing Zhang Tinglan coming, Fred's face was filled with joy: "Zhang, I know you've been busy recently, I wanted to find you in person, but I have a lot of accounts here, which is inconvenient to carry, so I invited you over."

"Mr. Fred, I have always believed in your character. You only need to have a summary of the data. I don't have so much time to read it bit by bit."

Fred shook his head hastily: "Zhang, I want to criticize your ideas. Doing business must be rigorous enough to check all the accounts carefully. Even if you can't do it yourself, you must arrange for someone you can trust. After all, our business is getting more and more Big, and the harvest is increasing, so we can’t be negligent.” Speaking of the word harvest, Fred’s eyes flashed with excitement.

After the two of them sat down, Fred smiled and said to Zhang Tinglan: "Zhang, all the five carloads of goods were sold last time. Do you know how much we earned?"

When Zhang Tinglan saw Fred's appearance, he knew that the money would not be short. These Jews were not as reserved as the Chinese businessmen. On the contrary, they thought that the more they earned, the more they could boast. This was their skill.

"Stop playing charades with me, just tell me if you have any good news."

"Zhang, we made a full 70 yuan, but 20 yuan fell into the pockets of those greedy Russian nobles, but we still got 50 yuan."

Zhang Tinglan was immediately stunned by this figure. He worked hard to squeeze out Shanqi and Shengyun, and ransacked many houses of nobles in the Qing Dynasty. Only then did he get less than 300 million in cash. I got a profit of 50 yuan, which is too easy.

"Zhang, don't be surprised. Due to the war, the Russian nobles were hungry for luxury goods. The best red fox fur coat we brought was scrambled for by those noble ladies, and finally sold for 15 yuan. Ordinary The high-end sorghum wine is less than [-] cents a catty, and after being transported to Russia, mixed with half of the water, it can still be sold for [-] cents, and the higher-end hard liquor is only [-] yuan per catty, and the supply is still in short supply.”

Zhang Tinglan's eyes were straightened when he heard it, a full four or five times the profit would definitely drive everyone crazy, no wonder everyone pays attention to making war fortunes, once a war starts, there will be gold and silver everywhere.

Fred looked at Zhang Tinglan, who was a little excited, and said triumphantly: "Zhang, this is just the beginning, and we have another opportunity to expand our business. It depends on whether you can provide enough luxury goods."

Chapter 39 Weapons of the past

Zhang Tinglan showed a confident smile on his face: "Old friend, don't worry, I have enough confidence, what you should worry about now is whether you can find enough sales channels." Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "The North Market has already begun .”

The light words sounded like a thunderbolt to Fred's ears. He was actually the first person to come into contact with the North Market, so he naturally knew the business opportunities contained in it, and he also knew the difficulty involved. If he wanted to make this It absolutely required a lot of effort to coordinate the interests of all parties, and it was very difficult to handle. I didn't expect Zhang Tinglan to solve it so quickly, which was really unexpected.

Fred knows that the Chinese have the virtue of modesty. Even if they have full confidence, they can only say eight points. Zhang Tinglan's statement has already proved that the North Market is almost ready. Now that he has formed an alliance with Zhang Tinglan, he naturally hopes that his career will The smoother the better.

So Fred said with a smile: "Zhang, congratulations, you are the most capable young man I have ever seen, and it is my honor to cooperate with you."

"Don't just congratulate me, we are congratulations together." As she spoke, Zhang Tinglan took out a document from her purse and handed it to Fred.

"Old friend, I couldn't open the situation so quickly without you. This is what I left for you."

As soon as Fred saw that Zhang Tinglan said it was very formal, he knew that this gift bag should not be small. When he held it in his hand and looked at it, Fred's breath became short of breath. It turned out that what Zhang Tinglan gave him was one-tenth of the shares of Industrial Company .At present, Xingye Company controls the North Market in name, and one tenth of the shares means one tenth of the income of the entire North Market. In the next three to five years, this represents a wealth of more than ten million, and there will be more It will show a geometric multiple growth.

Holding a thin piece of paper in his hands is like a golden mountain. He has never accumulated so much wealth in his life, and Fred's hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Old friend, I not only value your current power and connections, but also your own financial ability. Our business will grow bigger and bigger, and you will always occupy an important position."

Jewish bankers are a resounding business card. They are the group of people who understand modern finance best. As a latecomer, how can you not know the importance of controlling financial power? If Fred is willing to take the helm for himself, he will be in the financial field It has the possibility to compete with Japan. From this perspective, Fred's value is unparalleled.

And Fred's heart is also surging at this time, the Russian government is getting more and more violent, whether the mud-legged giant can survive this war is really a problem, and even if Russia survives, Fred will also lose his hair. Opportunities for war money.In addition, during the period when he was in charge of Daosheng Bank, he recklessly sought personal gain and caused a huge deficit. The headquarters will not let him go sooner or later, so Fred also urgently needs a way out. Zhang Tinglan just threw out an olive branch at this time. How could he Not happy.

"Zhang, last time you told me to think twice, think about danger, think about change, think about retreating! I have been thinking about this question over and over again. I may reach the pinnacle of my career because of this war, or I may go bankrupt, and you are mine. retreat."

Zhang Tinglan smiled and stretched out her big hand, and the two of them held hands tightly together. The alliance between the two of them was getting closer and closer. Zhang Tinglan encountered many crises in the future because of Fred's strong capital. Strength helped him turn the crisis into safety, and the close combination of capital and power showed unparalleled strength.

"Old friend, let's not think about things that are too long-term. The business in Russia has just begun, and we will continue to make a lot of money. I have already recruited two big businessmen to work for me. Their network is very large. It can definitely provide enough goods, the key now depends on you."

At this time, Fred carefully put away the shareholding certificate, and then said with a smile: "Russia is in short supply of supplies, and the black market is popular. Common daily necessities are sold at several times or even ten times the price, and the Russian dignitaries are also coveting. The Governor of the Far East is willing to allocate part of the wagon regularly to import goods from us in the name of importing military supplies, including luxury goods that the upper-class nobles like, and of course including spirits, food, fur, cloth and other daily necessities."

In the past few times, Zhang Tinglan and the others still circled around the Russian military supply train, that is to say, they could only move their hands and feet when the train came. Now that the Russian Far East Governor has given it a green light, they will directly arrange the wagons to transport supplies. This is so convenient.
