    However, Zhang Hanqing still had the opportunity to explain to Gu Ruiyu his plan to invest and finance in Tianjin, and he needed someone to introduce him to the industrialists and leading figures in finance here.  Although Gu Ruiyu's family is not very wealthy, she is a frequent visitor here and has many best friends whose families are well-known in Tianjin. She may be able to build a bridge.

    "But Zhang Hanqing didn't bet on her. On the contrary, she was a treasure in her own right.  He deliberately talked about such high-level things in front of Yu Yifan, just to show her: "Uncle, I am still very dedicated. What you see are sacrifices." When he asked about Gu Ruiyu, he was just looking for opportunities and opportunities in the future.  She contacted me as a foreshadowing - I was on official business.

    Unexpectedly, Gu Ruiyu's eyes turned and she really surprised him: "Young Marshal wants to raise money in Tianjin. Of course he has to find rich people. Why not try the Liang family, the largest wealthy businessman in Tianjin?" Yu Yifan saw  When it came to official matters, she was not to be outdone: "Miss Ninth of the Liang family and I are classmates. If my uncle is interested, I can introduce her to her father through her."

    Zhang Hanqing slapped his head: "Ahem, why did I forget him?"

    The Liang family mentioned by several people was the family of Liang Yanqing, the so-called "richest man in Tianjin" at that time.  This comprador, who was born in Foshan, Guangdong, has a shrewdness that is rare among ordinary people.  At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, he served as the chief comprador of the Tianjin branch of the British merchant Jardine Matheson and Co., and also as the chief comprador of the British merchant Gaolin and Matheson. Together with Wang Minghuai of Tai Lai Matheson, Zheng Yizhi of Taikoo Matheson, and Wu Tiaoqing of HSBC Bank, he was collectively known as  The four major compradors in Tianjin at the end of the Qing Dynasty ranked first among all the compradors in Tianjin because of their huge assets. They were the richest families in Tianjin until the liberation in official history.

    Industrial bonds in Tianjin were sold out. This was because several political pillars of the Republic of China were endorsing it, and investors were generally optimistic about the prospects of projects such as the Dodge Automobile Plant.  Therefore, taking advantage of this trend, Zhang Xueliang sold Northeastern bonds with the intention of attracting gold. Although the strong restraint for several consecutive years successfully enabled the Fengcun to obtain the first pot of gold for economic development, the economy of this corner of Northeast China  After all, the foundation is limited. If you want to make a great leap forward in absorbing funds, the Beijing and Tianjin areas are the fastest.

    But investing money in the Northeast is completely different.  Moreover, after the first round of financing, the more interested capitalists have already spent a lot of money. Some are skeptical about the bonds, and some are really unable to do so.  At this time, a larger financial owner needs to take over.

    Liang Yanqing is pretty good

    Not only because he is rich, Zhang Hanqing will not do that thing of killing the goose to obtain the eggs.  This Liang Yanqing is a capable person: he is responsible for coastal shipping in India and China in a foreign company. The ports of navigation start from Calcutta, India, including Singapore and Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Wuzhou, Shantou, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Shanghai, Qingdao, and Yantai.  , Weihaiwei, Tianjin, and almost the entire coastline of China are enclosed within it.  Liang Yanqing manages the operation, pick-up, cargo storage and delivery of these routes

    In a word, he is a leading figure in shipping.

    Zhang Hanqing has long wanted to build a marine transportation company to help him meet the demand for exporting the rich products in Northeast China.  Because Northeast China invests heavily in agriculture, its returns are also huge.  Its land is already fertile, and with good seeds and fertilizers, the yield per mu has grown at an alarming rate.  At this rate of progress, production will double only in recent years.

    In addition, the proportion of mechanization has begun to increase, creating opportunities for larger-scale land reclamation, so its output is also increasing.

    But, I can¡¯t sell it¡­

    The situation in the Far East is in chaos, and the original Heilongjiang sea channel has become unstable; Yingkou and Huludao in the Bohai Bay are good ports, but unfortunately they are both shipping companies run by Japanese; the Tumen River Estuary is a rare treasure, but the original  The tonnage of the ships was too small, the trading volume was limited, and there was a lack of experience in maritime trade.

    If Liang Yanqing is brought under Feng Xi¡¯s command, this problem will be easily solved.  If possible, he would fully support the formation of a large-scale shipping company.  In this way, it not only promotes logistics, but also brings a huge leap to the development of the country.

    Ratzel, the founder of geopolitics, said: "Only the ocean can create a true world power. The step of crossing the ocean is a major event in the history of any nation." China's loss of sea power due to seclusion led to backwardness.  Later generations have also become stronger because of openness. Ocean transportation is the most convenient and important tool to access all continents in the world, and it is also a road to wealth.

    Zhang Hanqing wants to build a "***" in the new era.

    So he immediately became excited and asked Yu Yifan: "Are you familiar with Miss Liang?"

    Yu Yifan was very happy to see that her little uncle was so interested in her casual words. She tried her best to look like she was responsible and said: "Of course we are familiar - I talk to her about everything, her familyI know everything there.  "

    "It's really unintentional. I didn't expect that Yu Yifan would be of some use now. After all, it's the National People's Congress."  Thinking too much, he couldn't help but glance at Yu Yifan's chest.  Oh, what a sin, why are you thinking about this at this time!

    You can¡¯t blame him for being a thinking animal with his lower body. It¡¯s because Yu Yifan is too close to him, and Gu Ruiyu.  The girlish fragrance exuded by the two proud women of heaven was so wonderful that he was still distracted when talking about the powerful country that fascinated him in his dreams.

    This trip away from home is also too long, second only to the half-year expedition to the northwest

    He tried to get himself back on track: "I want the Liang family to subscribe for Northeastern bonds, and I want him to be used by me. What do you think?"

    Yu Yifan shook his head and said, "Forget it about the subscription. Miss Jiu's father is a famous miser. He has a very elegant building, but he doesn't light electric lights upstairs. He only lights oil lamps. I heard that he is afraid of catching fire if he lights the electric lights.  ! His family is so wealthy, but he doesn¡¯t have a car and is afraid of wasting gas money. Hehe, uncle, you can give him a run for his money."

    Seeing that it was suddenly about him, Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but laugh and cry, and couldn't help but said: "Why is it about me? If you are short of money for school and ask your aunt to get it, what can I do if I don't agree? Otherwise, I will give it to you now.  You want more, or if it¡¯s not enough, just pay some from your grandpa first.¡±

    Yu Yifan curled his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "I'm not short of money" Seeing Zhang Hanqing's dumbfounded look as if he didn't understand, she felt relieved again. He really didn't understand.  She leaned close to Zhang Hanqing's ear, and naturally, Zhang Hanqing turned over to cooperate.  I heard Yu Yifan whisper quietly: "You can dance with her, but you don't take me with you, you are stingy!"

    Zhang Hanqing could only apologize and say: "Sister-in-law, we are talking about business."

    Seeing that the "blackmail" was successful, Yu Yifan said proudly: "I'm also talking about business. If you want to know more stories about the Liang family, you have to dance with me first."

    There is such a good thing!  The feeling in Zhang Hanqing's heart is indescribable.  Yu Yifan is petite, but not short in stature, which is in sharp contrast to Gu Ruiyu's plumpness.  If it weren't for Yu Fengzhi's relationship, she would definitely be Zhang Hanqing's favorite type: pure, independent, and daring to act.

    It was inconvenient for him to refuse, and in fact he didn¡¯t want to refuse. It was such a pleasant thing to have the opportunity to hug her waist with confidence and boldness!  From after time travel to before time travel, he had always believed that this kind of social dance between young men and women could hardly be equated with purity.

    He said apologetically to Gu Ruiyu: "I'm sorry, Miss Gu, I'll stay with Yifan first."

    At this time, Gu Ruiyu could only insist on being polite. Who made the relationship between them so strong?  However, with her sensitivity, there is something behind Yu Yifan's initiative that needs careful consideration.

    She temporarily lost interest in continuing to dance and rejected several gentlemen who invited her.  Under the blazing neon lights, her big eyes flashed, looking at her partner in a trance.

    The two people in the scene were immersed in a charming atmosphere.

    Yu Yifan obviously doesn't know how to dance. Not only does he always miss more than one or two beats, faster or slower, but he also steps on Zhang Hanqing's feet repeatedly. With such skills, how dare you steal the dance?

    But Zhang Hanqing didn¡¯t mean to blame her at all. It was precisely because of her clumsiness that the two of them had a chance to get closer.  When the dance got messy, he held her tightly to straighten her up; when he stepped on his feet, she would shyly fall into his arms, begging not to step back, it was so enjoyable

    As soon as the song came down, Zhang Hanqing¡¯s polished leather shoes were stepped on by her small boots and there were spots of footprints. There was also a small bulge in the depths of his trouser legs, which he had to hold back so as not to have greater consequences.  Yu Yifan shouted that he wanted to play another song, but he didn't dare to pester him anymore. Before the headlights came on, he quickly dragged Yu Yifan to the seat next to the dance floor.

    However, he could still feel Gu Ruiyu's half-smiling face, and wondered what the girl was smiling at.  After all, the light of the neon light was not bright and was still flickering. I didn't believe she could see there After the light was turned on, everything was lost.

    Maybe it¡¯s because of the heavy dancing movements, but the flush on Yu Yifan¡¯s face still hasn¡¯t gone away.  However, this did not affect her taking the initiative to tell Zhang Hanqing what she knew about the Liang family.

    "Although the old man of the Liang family is stingy, he is only willing to spend money on one thing, and that is to buy an official position for his son. Miss Liang Jiu's eldest brother Liang Laikui studied in the United States in his early years. After returning to China, the old man of the Liang family wanted him to develop his career, so  I made great friends with the then Prime Minister Tang Shaoyi, and I heard that I once donated 6,000 taels of silver to help him build the Guangdong Guild Hall.

    This was probably the largest donation made by the old man of the Liang family. Later, with the support of Tang Shaoyi, Liang Laikui became the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.  However, Liang Laikui was not satisfied in officialdom. Later, through Wang Zhongqin, Yuan Shikai's medical officer, he bought a lot of land in Wang's hometown, Weihui, Henan, and established a large farm.  However, due to the harassment of soldiers and bandits, the operation of this farm was difficult. Liang Laikui's operation failed. Not long ago, he returned to Yihe Matheson to help the old man of the Liang family.  "

    This is important information.  However, Yu Yifan obviously had a prejudice against Liang Yanqing. He never mentioned his name and always referred to him as "old man of the Liang family", which surprised Zhang Hanqing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), bought a lot of land in Wang's hometown of Weihui, Henan, and established a large farm.  However, due to the harassment of soldiers and bandits, the operation of this farm was difficult.
