However, what made him slightly disappointed was that Eunuch Yang's face remained motionless and there was not even a trace that could be captured. [Full text reading] Mingjia Biquge Chapter //
"This old monster is really hiding his secrets." He cursed secretly.
Finally, Eunuch Yang slowly rolled the letter into a small strip, took out a lighter from his side, struck it four or five times, lit the fire and lit the secret letter, turning it continuously until the letter almost burned his fingers. Then he threw it into the spittoon next to Fang Ji.
"Sir, you have traveled thousands of miles from the South China Sea to the capital. What is your purpose?" the old eunuch asked with half-closed eyes.
"When a young student comes to the capital, firstly he admires the prosperity of the capital, and secondly he prepares to open a local bank to connect the north and the south."
Leng Ningyun took this opportunity and said, "I would also like to ask Yang Gongxiang for help."
"Haha, how can I, the supervisor, have such ability..." Eunuch Yang laughed a few times, "I wonder what is the difference between your bank and those money shops run by old Westerners in the capital?"
Leng Ningyun was most afraid that Eunuch Yang would be indifferent to this matter and act mysteriously. Now that I saw that he was interested in talking about this matter, I cheered up and gave an overview of Delong's business scope.
The scope of business given to Delong by the Planning Institute and the Finance Director's Department is very large. Delong not only acts as the central bank, but also undertakes all the business of commercial banks. Even the insurance business belonging to insurance companies is currently handled by Delong.
The Delong branch opened in Daming Dynasty mainly operates savings, exchange and lending businesses. This is also the traditional business of China's banking industry. The most well-known financial institution in China, Qianzhuang, only appeared after the mid-Qing Dynasty, but similar commercial institutions operating financial exchange, savings and loans have always existed in the past dynasties. There were similar institutions in Beijing during the Ming Dynasty, all of which were bought and sold by Shanxi people.
Delongbi's advantage over the traditional banking industry lies in the speed of exchange - general banks and banks operate exchanges mainly through the issuance of banknotes and the acceptance of banknotes. Delong was able to conduct wire transfer business with the help of radio. In addition, in various businesses, Delong implements a modern financial management system, which is much stricter and more efficient.
Of course it is difficult for Eunuch Yang to understand these things. Leng Ningyun mainly selected some of Delong's unique projects, which made Eunuch Yang listen in rapt attention.
"Sir, you really have the art of Tao Zhu." Eunuch Yang squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I will definitely make a lot of money. However, I have been serving the emperor morning and night, and I am already very busy. I'm afraid I won't be able to help. Hehehe, hahaha."
Leng Ningyun knew that he was waiting for him to offer him some fat. This was a good deal that had been discussed long ago, and he used an old method of collusion between government and businessmen that had been tried and tested since ancient times: doing stocks. Mingjia Biquge Chapter //
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Colonization and Trade and the Ministry of Commerce, for any store opened outside the green zone, the net profit dividend will be calculated according to the fourteen-share distribution. The plan of Delong Beijing Branch is eleven bank notes and acceptance bank notes. Delong was able to conduct wire transfer business with the help of radio. In addition, in various businesses, Delong implements a modern financial management system, which is much stricter and more efficient.
Of course it is difficult for Eunuch Yang to understand these things. Leng Ningyun mainly selected some of Delong's unique projects, which made Eunuch Yang listen in rapt attention.
"Sir, you really have the art of Tao Zhu." Eunuch Yang squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I will definitely make a lot of money. However, I am already very busy serving the emperor morning and night, and I am afraid I won't be able to help. Hahaha, hahaha."
Leng Ningyun knew that he was waiting for him to offer him some fat. This was a good deal that had been discussed long ago, and he used an old method of collusion between government and businessmen that had been tried and tested since ancient times: doing stocks.
According to the regulations of the Ministry of Colonization and Trade and the Ministry of Commerce, for any store opened outside the green zone, the net profit dividend will be calculated according to the fourteen-share distribution. Delong Beijing Branch's plan is to return eleven shares to the public, one share to the store's provident fund, one share to the entire Xi family, and the last share is given to Eunuch Yang.
Leng Ningyun said: The shares given to Eunuch Yang will be divided into dividends based on profits every year, and he will never break his promise. In addition, there are three festivals and two tributes every year, plus Eunuch Yang’s birthday, and there are gifts.
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Yang looked into the sky as if he was thinking something.
"Sir, are you from Guangzhou? I have something to ask your help..." Eunuch Yang said after a while. "Yes, but please give your orders, Mr. Yang."
Eunuch Yang yawned and said, "There are Australians over there in Guangzhou."
"Yes, there are indeed many Australian goods for sale in Guangzhou."
"Since you are from Guangzhou, you must have many old relatives and friends there. The lord of the clan is celebrating his birthday recently, and I want to make some gifts to congratulate him - you know, what has the lord of the clan not seen before? There must be something new and interesting. I just want to buy some Australian treasures. I have ten thousand taels of silver, and you can send someone to Guangzhou to buy some for me. 7"
As he spoke, he took out a list.
"Yes, this is Xiaosheng's responsibility, and I will do my best, but please ask Mr. Yang to hand over the money at any time, and Xiaosheng will send someone to handle it immediately."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Yang smiled slightly and picked up the tea bowl.
The little eunuch next to him immediately brought the tea. Leng Ningyun had learned the rules at the "farm" and knew that this was "seeing off guests with tea". As soon as the tea was served, the guests had to get up and "take leave."
Leng Ningyun said goodbye and got on the sedan chair, but the matter of asking Eunuch Yang to take over the shares was not followed up. Leng Ningyun couldn't help but feel anxious: What did Eunuch Yang mean?
He thought for a long time in the sedan chair, but he still didn't understand what Eunuch Yang meant. We need to discuss this matter with someone as soon as possible.
Leng Ningyun's residence was a small courtyard temporarily lent to him by Li Luoyou. The place is not big, and it is specially used by Li Luoyou to entertain distinguished guests visiting Beijing. Furniture and facilities are all available, as well as servants. He knew that the Australians liked to keep things confidential, so he informed the stewards in Beijing in advance that except for door administration and purchasing, all servants would be withdrawn, and the service personnel in the hospital would be provided by "Master Leng of Guangdong" himself.
Leng Ningyun also brought a small team of naturalized citizens to Beijing. The person in charge is Wu Kaidi. Wuyikaidi was one of the few northerners among the refugees accommodated by the Senate—a native of Baoding, North Zhili. Originally a slave, he stayed in Beijing for more than ten years with his master who was a junior official in the capital. Later, his master moved to Guangdong, and he followed him there. A few years later, his master died of illness in Guangdong. He and his family were robbed by bandits on their way back home and lived in Guangdong. The whole family almost starved to death.
Wu Kaidi was very familiar with the ways of officialdom because he had worked as a slave for officials in the past. Coupled with his northern background, he became the best candidate for the Intelligence Bureau to select expatriates. Therefore, my wife and I received expatriate training. Wukaidi's rating in the assessment of the General Administration of Political Security is not very high - level IIIC. But his son is currently boarding and studying in Fangcaodi, Lingao, and the General Security Bureau of Zhengsou Administration knows that this man values his son very much.
Leng Ningyun returned to his place, immediately called Wu Kaidi into the study, closed the door, and explained the incident in detail.
"Now this matter is hanging in the air. How to plan? Jing has nothing to do. You say you are in a hurry and you are not in a hurry?" Leng Ningyun continued, "I can't do it now. If I don't do it, I can't find another way. No, it puts us in a dilemma.
"Master! You really don't understand the world here! Hasn't Eunuch Yang already offered a price? He wants 10,000 taels of Australian treasures!"
"Ah!" Leng Ningyun suddenly realized, "No wonder, no wonder!"
He recalled the situation at that time, and it turned out that it was indeed the case. The idea of entrusting Australian treasures on behalf of others was all an excuse. I didn't understand, and I actually asked Eunuch Yang to "hand over" the money. Of course, I had no choice but to get out immediately.
"Giving him shares and getting money for free every year, sitting at home and counting the money, and having to pay more money before agreeing to it, it's really confusing." Leng Ningyun sighed, "When people lose all their money at a young age. Came down?"
"No wonder you can't figure it out, sir. But here in Beijing, husbands are the only ones who can eat well. To put it bluntly, no matter how many people want to give them stock, they can't find a way! All these husbands are rich. Tuberculosis. Not to mention you giving him a dick, as long as they don't want anything good once they see it." Wu Kaidi stayed in the capital with his master for several years. "Silver, antiques, houses, good horses, beautiful women , Juntong... just like a fly seeing blood... Leng Ningyun said: "What else can I say, what are the beautiful Juntong and the others doing here, are they going to be used as decorations at home? "
Wu Kaidi smiled wretchedly: "This is just like a good horse. They can't ride it, but it's good to leave it at home for a look. Besides, it's not completely useless." 7 Probably because he felt that he said these words to the "chief" It was inappropriate, so he quickly shut up.
Leng Ningyun wanted to know how to "use it", but he couldn't say it, so he changed the topic to how to send the money.
Leng Ningyun didn't bring much silver with him. Like Zhao Yingong, he only brought 300 taels of gold to Beijing. However, he also carried several money orders from Delong Bank with different denominations, totaling 50,000 taels. It can be exchanged for cash or bills from other banks at Li Luoyu's shop in Beijing. There is no exchange rate for Delong's bills in Beijing. The best ones here are the banknotes issued by Shanxi fonts. Before Leng Ningyun came to Beijing this time, he conducted some background research on Shanxi brand names - in Beijing, his biggest competitors were this group of "Old Westerners".
Of course, it is impossible for the Director-General of Finance to give 50,000 taels of silver to a foreign intelligence agent, and Li Luoyou would not pay such a large sum of money to Leng Ningyun in the capital all at once. In fact, the 50,000 taels of silver belonged to Li Luoyou. The payment for a trade contract reached: various goods produced in Lingao were delivered in Guangdong and Jiangnan: the silver was paid in batches by Li Luoyou's Liaohai Bank in Beijing. The two parties agreed that any amount below 10,000 taels can be withdrawn at any time, and those over 10,000 taels must be informed in advance so that the money can be mobilized in advance.
Leng Ningyun took out a Delong's 10,000 taels of silver note from his cryptex and handed it to Wu Kaidi. The cryptex is the one in "The Da Vinci Code". The Office of Foreign Intelligence ordered a batch of Italian-made products from Macau. It is much safer than the worship boxes and jewelry boxes used by people at that time to carry valuables, and there is no need to carry a key with you.
"Send the banknote and this manifest to Liaohai Bank immediately. Let them allocate the goods according to the items on the manifest. There will definitely not be all of these goods. Let Liaohai Bank make a warehouse list first."
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Wu Kaidi went as ordered. Early the next morning, Leng Ningyun asked Wu Kaidi to take the stack list to the Yang Mansion. In the evening, a young eunuch was sent from Eunuch Yang's residence with a big red invitation, asking him to "come to the house to have a chat" in three days.
"The matter has been settled." Wu Kaidi said, "I will go there in three days. Eunuch Yang probably has something important to discuss with you."
