The First Evolution

Fang Linyan said this, but the people in the opposite escort agency were really aroused curiosity. Then Fang Linyan knew the art of conversation and the truth of never surprising words, which shocked the three people in front of him:

"When I come to the capital this time, I want to raise 5 million taels of silver! Then I don't spend a penny of this money. I'll give it all to Lord song to plan strategies and do a good job of the Japanese devils!"

"Five million taels of silver", "not a penny spent", "do Oriental little devils have a cruel vote" and other keywords were directly thrown out. Around the capital, such a great hero as Dadao king five was also shocked and speechless for a long time.

It must be admitted that Fang Linyan's words express something that these hard-working Jianghu men have never dreamed of, and this preemption is the effect Fang Linyan wants.

While a group of people were waiting for Fang Linyan to go on, Fang Linyan turned the conversation, stood up and pointed to himself, and then took up a glass of wine:

"I'd like to propose a toast to Hu Zhiyun."

In the face of such solemn self introduction, the other three people must stand up and salute back.

Then Fanglin rock path:

"The boy's native place is unknown. It's not surprising that you haven't heard my name, but Zuo Zongtang, Zuo Gong, you should have heard it."

Zuo Zongtang died in 1885 and has been dead for several years. However, he has made great achievements in his life, has a great reputation, high officials and high salaries, 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 XJ, the construction of the northwest and so on, it is all the achievements of ordinary officials who can boast about their whole life.

Of course, his greatest achievement is to calm XJ and block Russia's ambition. This is a serious national hero!

Wang Wu nodded and said:

"Zuo Gong is a famous official in the world. Even children know his name."

Fang Linyan said simply:

"When Zuo Gong calmed down the western Xinjiang, the military expenditure of the imperial court was insufficient, and the gap was more than ten million at one time. Uncle Jia mediated among them. He first raised two million Liang for Zuo gong at Standard Chartered Bank, and then raised 15.5 million Liang at HSBC, Citibank and other places four times."

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

"Young master Hu... Is uncle Ling Lord Hu Xueyan, the king of medicine in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Fang Linyan's mind is easy to use because he has a background. At last, he met a knowledgeable person. Otherwise, it would be funny if others can't understand it. He sighed:

"What Jiangnan medicine king? The Hu family can't afford to be the word now, but Hu Xueyan is really my second uncle."

Sure enough, after Fang Linyan brought out his family background, no one thought his previous words were boasting.

Wang Wu was silent for a moment and said simply:

"I didn't expect you to do anything more to help the king, but I didn't expect you to do anything more to help the king."

"Iron Butterfly Duan Fei and I have no friendship, but I owe his senior brother a big favor, so I'm entrusted to trouble you, but I'll never come back from now on."

"But you should be careful. Duan Fei's elder martial brother is the eldest martial brother of the dry word gate in the incense sect. He is very skillful. He will repay his vengeance and will not give up."

Fang Linyan nodded and smiled:

"Thank you for your mercy. I'll be careful."

Wang Wu shook his head:

"In front of you, brother Hu, I can't afford to be a master! If you don't dislike me, for my old age's sake, call me brother five! Come on, let's drink."

At this time, on the dinner table, a group of people still talked about speculation. Later, Fang Linyan learned that most of the credit for such an atmosphere was from Laurent who followed him.

After all, Wang Wu, such a great hero in the Jianghu, doesn't know how many people he has seen. How can he believe him on one side?

But Wang Wu looked at Laurent's attitude towards Fang Linyan as if he were a servant. He was a foreigner!

Combined with the momentum of the Hu family, the richest man in China, and the momentum shown in Fang Linyan's speech and behavior, it is obvious that no liar can simulate it.

After Wang Wu's meeting, Fang Linyan said he had something to go first. Wang Wu was surprised and didn't say much. As a result, after taking a few steps, Ma Kui, the middle-aged man next to him, said with a bitter smile:

"Fifth master, I just got a big job."

Wang Wuqi said:

"Just for a while, where did you pick up the big work?"

Maqui faces the direction of Fanglin rock, nunuzui:

"It's from the master."

Wang Wu was stunned. Obviously, he hasn't reacted yet:

"Big... Big work?"

Another escort nearby couldn't help saying:

"On the third floor of the bathhouse? Do you want to drink?"

Ma Kui gave him a hard look:

"You TM drank two cups of horse urine, what are you doing here? Fifth master, it's really a big job in the escort agency."

Wang Wushen said:

"What do you say?"

Ma Kui is also the accounting room of the escort agency, so he goes straight to:

"According to the master, there will be 800000 liang of red goods in a few days. They will be sent to Lord song from the Chongwenmen shopping market. Please send them to us and give us three points out of 100."

Wang Wu was shocked! Immediate channel:

"Three out of a hundred? That's 24002? And don't adults song usually stay in the Sichuan guild hall? What's the charge for the distance when you pee?"

"If not, the rules of the trade don't count like this, and his money is used to do big things for Lord song. If we can't help, how can we hold back!"

Ma Kui said with a wry smile:

"I think so, too, but I wonder why you didn't say it when you were here. Even if I know that you probably don't agree, I can only discuss with you."

Wang Wu said flatly:

"There's nothing to discuss. The escort agency will accept the escort, but it won't accept the money. If you accept the money, you'll have to be stabbed in the back."

***

Three days later,

At 6 p.m. on July 25, 1894,

Fang Linyan has received a small part of the goods in Hengli market of Chongwenmen. The credit of Qiao's warehouse is still good, and a large number of goods are being transferred from outside.

Suddenly, Fang Linyan saw an old man who looked familiar and hurried over. He was accompanied by the shopkeeper of Qiao's warehouse.

Seeing him, the old man came over quickly and said angrily:

"Xiao Liu! What are you doing?"

Fang Linyan was stunned and remembered that the old man was an elder of the family, named Hu Xueming, ranking seventh. Before, he was very opposed to doing things by himself, so he said carelessly:

"Seventh uncle, why are you here?"

Hu Xueming said bitterly:

"Why am I here? I came to Beijing to take the exam years ago. Besides, if I don't come, you will lose all the family property! I ask you, ten thousand Liang silver will be squeezed out of your house for you to hand over to Lord Li Meng Li! You went directly to the fireworks land of the capital to spend money!"

Fang Linyan immediately retorted:

"Uncle Qi, don't talk about it. I'm clearly hoarding a batch of goods here. Where do you start with wasting money?"

Hu Xueming angrily said:

"You're a villain and dare to be stubborn. I've eaten more salt than you've ever seen. You take the money of the family and go to this place to store some unsalable goods. The key is to only pay the deposit. In the end, you lose the capital and don't want the family to support the bottom. At that time, it's not the public's share?"

Fang Linyan listened to Hu Xueming's words of relying on the old and selling the old. He knew that this disgusting thing was his elders. If he argued with him, he would say more and make more mistakes. Therefore, he ignored him and immediately looked at the owner of the Qiao family next to him and shouted word by word:

"I've long heard that the Qiao family do things without leakage and based on faith. It turns out that they do things like this. It's really an eye opener."

When Fang Linyan said this, he deliberately increased his voice and almost shouted out. This is a large market, which immediately attracted the attention of the shopkeeper and guests nearby.

As for Chinese people, what they like most is to join in the fun. There is also a saying that peers are friends. It is clear that someone came to the Qiao family for trouble. Of course, a group of people came around soon.

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

"Brother Hu, don't spit out blood. How can I lose my faith."

Seeing many people around, Fang Linyan immediately said:

"We negotiated this deal seven or eight days ago. We agreed to pay the deposit in advance and pay the balance within ten days after the arrival of the goods, right?"

At this time, Hu Xueming roared aside:

"Evil, you still have to make a fool of yourself, don't you?"

Fang Linyan ignored him and asked the Qiao shopkeeper:

"Do you think so?"

Qiao's shopkeeper said:

"That's right!"

Fanglin rock path:

"What do you mean by telling him the details of our business?"

He in Fanglin Yankou is obviously Hu Xueming.

The shopkeeper of the Qiao family disdained to say:

"This is no one else, but the seventh uncle of your Hu family! He knows your character is broad and dissolute, so he has been watching you and asked me to help pay attention to your trend. The money you use is your Hu family's hard-earned money. What's wrong with me telling him about it?"

"Youdao is the prince and teacher of heaven and earth. There is no better relationship in the world. Can't your relatives and elders know what you do? You can't break the truth that heaven is no more than a saint."

As soon as they heard it, they felt that the shopkeeper really had some truth.

But at this time, Fang Linyan laughed and said to the big shopkeeper:

"I think the shopkeeper may have made a mistake. I didn't buy these goods! I just did an interpreter and Chinese. The owner of these goods is Mr. Laurent from Europe!"

The chief shopkeeper's face suddenly changed, and then he soon saw Laurent coming in from the outside. At this time, Fang Linyan snapped:

"There's nothing else to say! Your Shanxi Qiao family is really shameless, playing a faith-based signboard, but secretly doing the business of selling customer secrets! It's a shame to be thrown in front of foreigners. There are state laws and regulations. What do you say today?"

The Qiao family in Shanxi has a great business and a great reputation, so it will certainly attract a lot of people. Some of these people are jealous, others are because they are blocked by the Qiao family, and their peers are enemies.

Now Fang Linyan is afraid that this matter will not make much noise. He has yelled first. Among the onlookers, it's not too big to watch the excitement. Seven or eight out of ten are helping him.

If it's an ordinary person, the Qiao family's business is so big and the official management is good. There is a green camp stationed outside Chongwen gate. The guards in this camp should come out and be villains. They should directly arrest Fang Linyan for "provoking trouble" and settle the matter first.

Today, the garrison was rewarded by his subordinates and immediately came out in a fierce manner. The positive reason is to do things for the Qiao family, and the gift money must be very expensive.

As a result, I walked thirty steps away. When I saw that a blonde foreigner was involved, I immediately frowned, then turned and left. It looked like I had seen a ghost.

When his subordinates asked him how he turned back, he immediately kicked him and scolded:

"In these days, if you are infected with foreigners, even the former Emperor's grandfather is in decline. The soles of his feet are smeared with oil to Chengde. The concubine (common concubine) is ruined and even the Yuanmingyuan is burned. Can I take this strange risk for the sake of several Liang silver of the Qiao family?"

The big shopkeeper saw more and more people around, but the "reinforcements" from the green camp didn't come. He was also flustered and hurried to ask the boy next to him to hurry, but where can he hurry? At present, I can only watch Hu Xueming complain:

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

Hu Xueming was also a little stunned at this time. Unexpectedly, this nephew finally involved this matter with foreigners. He thought about it and dared not get involved with it. He could only scold Fang Linyan:

"Evil! Where's the silver given to you by the clan? If you don't take it out quickly, will you lose all your food, drink, whoring and gambling?"

Who is Fang Linyan? If you were attacked suddenly, you might hesitate for a few seconds. Now, when facing the old man, he said with a smile:

"Uncle seven, don't talk about it. All my money has been lent to Mr. Laurent. I can make 10% profit for 30 days. Am I a loser?"

The profit of 10% in 30 days, converted into the annual interest rate, even reached 120% of the horror. If you borrow 10000 Liang, you have to pay back 22000 Liang. Most of the people present are businessmen. They think it's a good deal at a simple calculation.

Hu Xueming is not a smart person. Otherwise, Hu Xueyan was hidden as the richest man in the world. To put it bluntly, it's not just a talk that a man can rise to heaven under such a general trend, but Hu Xueming only mixed with a local squire. It can be seen that his ability and character are really limited.
