Years of the Republic of China 1913

Chapter 3 The Businessman's Sense of Smell

In December 1921, the land of China has entered the last few days of the year, and the countdown to the arrival of 12 AD has also begun.The northern country has been covered with silver makeup, and the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually dropped to zero degrees. The last season of winter has arrived a month ago.Compared with the frigid capital, the temperature in Siberia is even colder. The war between the east and the west naturally stopped after the cold winter. Large-scale battles will no longer occur. Except for a small amount of harassment and defense, whether it is the Soviet Red Army or Russia The imperial government troops tacitly began to confront each other with the position as the boundary.

After New Year's Day is the Spring Festival, which is the most important festival of the year for Chinese people.In the past few years, the weather has been smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the life of the common people is much better than that of the Qing Dynasty. In particular, the country's vigorous development of industry and commerce has achieved remarkable results, and the ocean in people's pockets has also grown a lot more than in previous years. Such a good year is very good. It was unimaginable many years ago.And with the advent of development and prosperity, big cities such as Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, etc. have shown their prosperity.

"Hey! Isn't this Master Jiu? Please greet Master Jiu. I haven't seen you for a while. Where did you get rich?" I don't know when people in the capital stopped asking "eating" when they met each other. "Is it gone", but "Gong Xi Fa Cai".Due to changes in the social atmosphere, businessmen who used to be at the end of the four peoples have now become upper-class people. With the vigorous development of all walks of life, many people have been driven to invest in business instead of farming with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky.

No, the person who asked the question was called Na Liu. Speaking of him, he was considered a red belt in his early years. If we talk about it carefully, he could even have a relationship with the old Buddha in the palace.It's just that that family has been in ruins since the end of the Guangxu period, and Ruo Da's family has been almost ruined, except for a Zhuangzi in Baoding and dozens of acres of land in the suburbs.After Na Liu's father died.Those assigned to the six hands only lived on a few acres of Susukida.After the Manchu Dynasty disappeared, the Lumi given to Zong by the imperial court naturally also disappeared. It was a miserable life to guard the large members of his family.

The descendant of the red belt had no choice but to cultivate the fields himself, and in his spare time, he helped his brother-in-law to pull a rickshaw on the street to earn some extra money, otherwise he would not be able to support his family with a few acres of land.But Na Liu's brain is still active.Moreover, when the family was prosperous back then, they had also seen big scenes. Since the government encouraged industry and commerce a few years ago and called on landlords to invest capital from land into industries, Naliu quietly began to think about ways to make a fortune.

It should be said that although those six words cannot be written or martial arts, their courage is not small.He inquired about some news through his family connections, and taking advantage of his acquaintance with Jin Jiulao, he cruelly sold the few acres of land without telling his family, and borrowed some money from his friends.They ran outside the mouth and recruited a group of people, and started a business of helping the government transfer and transport materials.

Speaking of which, Liugan's business can be regarded as the pioneer of China's modern logistics industry. Although he started from a low level, logistics does not require much capital. It's not difficult, but what's more important is that Na Liu saw the right time.With the care of Jin Jiu, taking advantage of the opportunity of the European War, a large amount of materials from the Chinese government were transferred to Tsarist Russia via export.In just half a year, Na Liu completely got rid of poverty and became a big boss.

That Liu Zuzu has been working in the logistics industry for nearly two years, and in these two years, he has become rich and penniless.After earning money, Na Liu put most of his money into the cotton cloth business in one go, in addition to taking out part of it to repurchase the family's property.Just at this time, the Chinese Expeditionary Force went to Europe to participate in the war, and the cotton cloth business in Nali suddenly became prosperous.A piece of cloth goes in and out every day.What brought him profits like flowing water made the six mouths so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

In order to do business better, Naliu even went to Shanghai in person, recruited several technicians with high salaries, and successively built spinning mills, textile mills, and printing and dyeing factories in several places outside the mouth and in the suburbs.After the European War ended, Naliu had become one of the most industrialists in the north. He owned five spinning mills, textile mills, and printing and dyeing factories, three warehouses, and six warehouses. There were hundreds of workers working under him alone. Its assets are said to have exceeded one million long ago, so it was dubbed "that million".

On this day, as the New Year was approaching, Na Liu arranged for the factory and returned to the capital with a few entourages.His car had just entered Andingmen Street, and when he was about to visit several shops, he saw an old acquaintance at a glance, and hurriedly called the driver to stop the car, and the six got off the car and greeted him warmly.

Hearing the greeting, a middle-aged man who was walking on the side of the street stopped, turned his head and smiled.

"The boss, that million, hehe, it's been a long time, Yu! The cars are all in, it seems that business is booming!"

"Master Jiu, why are you slapping me in the face? Brother, don't I owe it to you, Master Jiu, to take care of me today?" Na Liu seemed a little unhappy, complaining in his expression.

"Hahaha! Lao Liu, Lao Liu, you can still speak eloquently." Jin Jiu was not angry, on the contrary, he was very happy. He patted Na Liu on the shoulder and said happily, "Business is good. Look, how many Could you have imagined today?"

"That's right! It's a loss to Master Jiu, if it wasn't for Master Jiu, you...I..." Na Liu's nose was a little sore as he spoke.

"Okay, let's live a good life. By the way, I heard that you have recruited a few German technicians in your factory? What's the matter? Planning to do a big job again?"

"That's not true. After a few years of business, I have understood it in six years. This business is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Now several big merchants in the south are making moves again, especially those in Nanxun. It’s amazing. In one breath, we invested 500 million oceans to build new factories in Shanghai*Shanghai, Suzhou*zhou and other places. The equipment used is still the most advanced new machine. Although our north is not as good as the south, the gap can’t be too big. Ah, why don't you think of a way to come up with some tricks, and when the market is rushed by them, it's fine if I don't make any money, but what about the hundreds of people who follow me to eat? Master Jiu, you must have a conscience You can’t think for yourself? Don’t you think so?”

Jin Jiu looked at Na Liu with a sincere face. He didn't expect that Na Liu had indeed experienced it after a few years, and his words and thoughts were quite different from before.A few years ago, I am afraid that the six and a half sentences of these words would not have been uttered.

"You have a heart! Work hard. Doing business is the same as being a human being. Learn how to be a human being before you learn how to do business well. If you can't manage people well, the business will not be big. Do you think so? Originally, today we Friends are also considered destined, and it stands to reason that we should get together and have a drink. But...unfortunately, it just happens to be inconvenient. In this way, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can go directly to my house and ask my housekeeper to let him Bring me a letter, as long as you don't violate the rules, I will always help if you are a brother." Jin Jiuyu said this seriously, and the six brows smiled and nodded with joy.

"Okay, it's not a problem to stand in the cold weather, you go to your own business."

"Hey! Master Jiu, go slowly..." Naliu didn't dare to force him, he stood there watching Jin Jiu smiled and waved at him, then turned and left to the north. Right behind Jin Jiu at a distance of a few meters, he looked like a bodyguard.

Watching Jin Jiu go away, Na Liu then turned and returned to his car.Seeing the boss coming back, his driver hurriedly opened the car door, Na Liu lifted up the hem of his robe with one hand, lowered his head and got into the car.

"Boss, who was that just now? Why have you chatted with him for so long?" The driver is considered to be the cousin of the sixth wife's natal family, and he is not an outsider. .

"Who do you think he is?" Na Liu asked back.

"This..." The driver scratched his head and thought for a while: "This man looks inconspicuous, could he be a relative of your boss? Or is he just looking for you to play Qiu Feng?"

"Nonsense!" Na Liu scolded angrily, raised Stick in his hand and pointed in the direction of Jin Jiu's departure: "Tell you boy, this is your nobleman, even if Liu Ye sees him You have to call out Lord Sheng! Do you understand! In the future, don’t just look at people’s clothes, the water in this capital is deep, or if you accidentally get into trouble, don’t blame Liu Ye for not reminding you.”

The stunned driver, the driver, scratched his head. He couldn't figure out why the famous sixth master, the millionaire, would call a man who was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked inconspicuous.Maybe this kind of problem is too complicated for him, but one thing is certain, that is, that Liu will never harm him. Listen to Liu Ye, it is always right to do errands well. Isn't that what my wife told me?

Regardless of whether the silly boy figured it out, he urged him to drive back home quickly.Accidentally ran into Jin Jiu on the street, and Liu's desire to go to the shop faded away. He knew that Jin Jiu had been away from Beijing for several years, and there might be something important about his sudden return this time.Although Na Liu didn't know what Jin Jiu's current identity was, but once when he was drinking, he heard Jiu Jin inadvertently revealed a few words, and he had seen Jin Jiu's ability in the government. , Even himself became a big boss, let alone Jin Jiu.

Na Liu is not a politician, but he is a businessman now, and he is a successful businessman. As a businessman, he naturally has a keen sense of businessman. Jin Jiu's appearance suddenly made him think of a possibility, but the specific things are in Na Liu's head. He was a bit vague for the time being, but he felt that a huge opportunity should be right in front of him. As for how to grasp it and how to figure it out, Na Liu needed to go home and find a quiet place to think about it. (To be continued..)
