There is a two-story Western-style building on Chang'an Street in the capital. There is a signboard of Liuhe Company hanging on the outside of the building. If this company was not conspicuous in the capital when it was first listed, but now, there are several inconspicuous people in the country. I know the name of Liuhe Company. It is a company that provided tens of millions of taels of silver loans to the government.

In the morning, the spring was bright. At the front desk of Mu Xiangyue's office on the second floor of Liuhe Company, a young man wearing a white suit with a vertical collar came and asked to meet.

This young man, who is not too tall, looks about 26 or 27 years old. He is thin and has not even a hair on his lips. His narrowed eyes can only see a slit, but between this slit, Que Chang occasionally showed a shrewd look.

"Can you help me? Is Mr. Mu here?"

As he spoke, he put his chin on the table at the front desk and tapped his fingers on the table. At most, he looked like a foreign student who had just returned from studying abroad.

"Who are you?"

The front desk clerk looked wary. It looked like the person in front of him was not qualified to visit the manager of Liuhe Company.

"My name is Lei Hao!"

Lei Hao told his name truthfully.

"Did you bring your business card?"

The clerk at the front desk asked casually. Often when such unknown people come to visit Manager Mu, in addition to their own business cards, they will also bring the business cards of their recommenders. Manager Mu will decide whether to arrange for him based on this person's business card. Meeting time.

"Ah, business card"

Lei Hao pretended to touch the pocket of his coat, and finally there was a trace of annoyance on his face.

It looked like I had forgotten to bring it, and the front desk clerk just smiled.

"I forgot my business card. If you tell him it's Lei Hao, he will know!"

Lei Hao still looked confident. To be precise, he came to Liuhe to look for a job, but he didn't have any friends with high-ranking officials, so he didn't get any recommendations. Even when he was studying in Japan, he didn't get any recommendations. He did not get a diploma, and because of this, he knew that he could not come to Liuhe through other channels, so he took the risk.

The clerk at the front desk was confused by him. Although he had some doubts, he finally decided to report it to him.

"Lei Hao?"

Mu Xiangyue, who was talking to the chairman, was stunned. She didn't know this person?

"The man said that as long as he tells you his name, you will know!"

"Ouchu, do you know this person?"

When Mu Xiangyue answered his question and looked at his expression, Li Zicheng got the answer he needed.

"Well, you tell him, because there is no appointment and I have to go out today, do you understand?"

However, after a while the front desk clerk came out and said to Lei Hao who was standing at the front desk,

"I can't meet you because you don't have an appointment, and Manager Mu is going out soon. I don't have time. I'm really sorry!"

At this moment, Lei Hao's face showed some helplessness. Could it be that Mu Xiangyue was not curious at all? However, hearing that he was going out soon ignited the hope in his heart. If he wanted to go out, he could do that, so he Asked the person at the front desk, "So, will Manager Mu pass by this corridor?"

The clerk at the front desk nodded and went about his business.

"Then just let me wait here for a while."

He sat on a chair on the side, crossed his legs, and waited quietly.

It was not until noon that Li Zicheng and Mu Xiangyue came down to the corridor to prepare to go out for dinner. As they passed by the corridor, Lei Hao stood up as soon as he saw the two people walking from the other end of the corridor.

"Hello, Manager Mu, this should be Mr. Li!"

Speaking, Lei Hao bowed deeply at the same time.

"I, Lei Hao, whose courtesy name is Zixuan, studied at the Department of Philosophy, Tokyo Imperial University!"

Lei Hao!

After taking a look at this young man, Li Zicheng became interested in this young man, but this man is still waiting here?

Mu Xiangyue took a look at Lei Hao and frowned slightly. This man... thought to himself that he is really a difficult person to deal with, but he had to apologize for his previous rudeness.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Lei, I was delayed due to some official matters just now. Please forgive me!"

What Lei Hao wanted was this result, but at this moment Li Zicheng was looking at this persevering young man with great interest. He was holding a resume with a kraft paper cover in his hand. It was obvious that he was looking for a job, and he was also looking for a job.

It left an impression on myself and Mu Xiangyue.

"Do you want to enter Liuhe?"

"Yes, Mr. Li! Although I failed to obtain a diploma from Imperial University for some reasons, I hope Mr. Li and Manager Mu can give me a chance to prove myself!"

Lei Hao said seriously that all he needed was an opportunity.

He nodded and looked at Mu Xiangyue. Li Zicheng did not accept the resume.

"You can get a chance! Come to the company to report tomorrow!"

After saying that, Li Zicheng walked straight forward, ignoring Lei Hao's surprised expression.

"Thanks……"

Without hearing the thank you from behind, Li Zicheng turned to ask Mu Xiangyue as he walked forward.

"Is there any news from Albert now?"

If there is anything that matters most now, I am afraid that the only thing that matters is the gold-for-mortgage loan, which is related to whether Liuhe can flex its muscles.

"Not yet! But I think it will come soon! Do you want to go..."

"Don't rush him, let these foreign devils come to us on their own initiative instead of me begging him!"

After Alberto Karpais left, Li Zicheng, who looked calm, put on his coat, walked out of the room, and walked to his yard.

It was raining in the sky at this time, and the yard was dark and cold. A damp and slightly chilly wind whistled through the air.

"Hmph!"

With a sneer, Li Zicheng, standing in the rain, lit a cigarette, then concentrated on looking towards the sky, letting the cold drizzle fall on his face. At this time, there was no one in the yard.

Man, all the servants have gone to rest.

"If I wish,"

Sneering in his heart, Li Zicheng couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"I can cheat Morgan twice, or even more!"

After a few breaths, he put out the cigarette, and Li Zicheng found that his heart was filled with uncontrollable pride, which came from the bottom of his heart.

In this world, no one has ever been able to trick Morgan, but I have tricked him twice. The first time was for steel. I knew that the price of steel would increase, not one time, two times, but ten times, or even more.

Gao. The second time was silver. The current gold-silver ratio is 1:38.33. What will happen two years later? When the First World War broke out, various countries banned the export of gold and stopped the freedom of gold to varying degrees.

To cash out, on the one hand, countries banned the export of gold, and on the other hand, they rushed to buy gold. In the first two years of the war, the price of gold rose rapidly, and the gold-silver ratio reached a new low. However, by 1916, the price of silver would rise sharply with the rise in world prices.

The price of gold and silver has been rising, and the price of gold and silver has tended to shrink again. Eight years later, in 1920, it will even reach a high price of 1 to 11.1. The loan he has now obtained is a huge US dollar loan. After converting it into silver, he can get 200 million.

More than ten million taels of silver, and eight years later, when the silver price reaches its highest point, I only need to take out, well! 150 million, or at most 160 million taels of silver, to repay the loan. Not only will I not

You need to pay one penny of interest, and you will also get a "silver profit" of at least 50 million taels of silver.

The more important point is that this high price will only last for a few months. In a few months, the price of silver will skyrocket. Between the reverse and the positive, not only can I get two yuan now

For a loan of 100 million taels of silver, he could pay 100 million taels less when repaying it. But what about Morgan? He had lost 200 million taels of silver. Who would be so angry that he vomited blood?

"Perhaps, I can get more loans. I have to find a way to get as many loans as possible from HSBC and Citigroup, one hundred million, two hundred million, or even one billion! Take foreign exchange loans from them and wait until the price of silver rises.

Repay in silver!”

When Li Zicheng made this idea in his mind, Li Zicheng laughed. Even if he just thought about it, he could imagine what the bankers who had been involved with him today would look like when he repaid the loan. They would not only vomit blood.

It's basically a waste of money.

"What the hell, this time I have to spit out all the money you squeezed out of China, including the principal and interest!"

At this moment, a person suddenly rushed over excitedly.

"Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan, it's done! It's done! The land acquisition in Lianyungang is completed. This, this is a telegram from Jiangsu!"

Mu Xiangyue rushed into the rain with excitement on his face. He had just received this telegram an hour ago.

"What, it's done, how come it's so fast!"

I received the telegram. Yes, it was a telegram from the staff sent to Nanjing. The content of the telegram was very simple.

“The land acquisition is accomplished!”

"Ouchu, let's go to Lianyungang tomorrow, tomorrow!"

For Li Zicheng, probably the most important thing at this time is to see the one-third of an acre of land that belongs to him in this era. That field, that land, is all his! For himself, that place,

But it is the foundation of your future! It is also the foundation of your career!
