And it seems that there is only one person who can really help you overcome difficulties... Da Shang!

Dashang control the textile alliance in Anton, and at the same time, he also has a super fleet for foreign transportation - Qichang Foreign Company. Everyone in the industry knows that although Qichang Foreign Company has a foreign sign, the real controlling company is Dashang, which is Wang Yi!

It was also at this moment that Hu Xueyan began to face up to his junior for the first time! He controlled the supply of goods, controlled logistics, and developed locally. He originally thought that standing under Lord Zuo's wings, all problems were not a problem. But now it seems that he was not a little worse than Wang Yi's self-reliance.

At the headquarters of Shanghai Dashang Bank, the owners of six money shops are waiting for the arrival of Ding Xiaotian, general manager of Dashang Bank's Shanghai Branch. Ding Xiaotian is now a household name in Shanghai. He is not very old, only twenty-eight years old, and is gentle and elegant. He speaks to others, smiles on his face, and his affinity is fully reflected in the wealthy and socialites in Shanghai.

Although Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang have the same power, Ding Xiaotian can be good at everything and can't pick one.

Although his mentor Li Yuzhen resigned sadly due to the rectification movement at the beginning of the Shang Dynasty. Ding Xiaotian knew the situation and all the crimes were the unworthy relatives and friends in his mentor's family. The mentor was just implicated. Ding Xiaotian was inevitably indifferent. After all, the mentor was innocent, so why should the chairman transfer his mentor? However, now new news has come, Li Yuzhen has become the dean of the Dashang School of Finance and Economics. Ding Xiaotian was truly relieved, and he has become more and more respectful to Wang Yi from his original disappointment. Wang Yi is humane and doing this is to protect Li Yuzhen.

Of course, the new chairman of Dashang Bank is Nie Xiong. He was originally the president of Dashang Bank Guangzhou Branch. He was previously the same level as Ding Xiaotian. Now Ding Xiaotian has been surpassed one end, so he is not dissatisfied with this. Because Nie Xiong is his senior brother, he is no longer inferior to him in terms of ability. If others take over the position of Dashang Bank, he will not be able to say that Nie Xiong is not bad! Of course, if he can take over the entire Dashang Bank and sit in the position of his mentor for many years, Ding Xiaotian naturally thinks about it. This is also his long-cherished wish for life. Although it is a pity right now, it is not unacceptable.

"Thank you all the shopkeepers. I'm just sending the telegram. I'm sorry, I've delayed you all."

Who dares to say that the display cabinets of other money houses is not bad? Although Ding Xiaotian has a good temper, these people dare not offend them. They are rich and arrogant, and they still rely on borrowing money from Dashang. Therefore, they all act kind-hearted and have a low attitude. I am afraid that they will have this grandson in front of their own fathers.

"Mr. Ding, you are kind, you just waited for a while, you should."

Ding Xiaotian sat down at this time and started chatting with everyone.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I heard that I just got a fat grandson, congratulations!"

"Mr. Xie Ding is concerned about it. When the child is full of the month, Mr. Ding must enjoy his face in the humble house and drink a glass of water and wine."

"How is this possible! Am I that kind of person? No matter how much I have to drink, I will stop drunk and never return without getting drunk!... By the way, everyone goes together, and no one can leave behind. I can't give me face, but I can't give us Manager Wang's face. Did you hear it?"

Everyone in the conference room burst into laughter, and after talking for a while, everyone came to the point.

Before speaking, Shopkeeper Sun sighed and said, "Mr. Ding, the situation in Shanghai is now difficult. Foreign banks and Shanxi Piaohao have begun to stop lending. Money bases in the entire Shanghai area are tightening, and our operations are becoming increasingly difficult."

Others also sighed, saying that they were lucky to establish a stable cooperative relationship with Dashang a few years ago. However, Dashang Bank has a higher interest rate on loans than other banks, so they borrowed less profits. So there were more than a dozen money shops before, but now they have really gone all the way with Dashang, and only these five or six are left.

"I already know this. The silk tea business is difficult to do now. When the British smuggled tea trees to Ceylon and India, I knew that this day would sooner or later. But I never thought that this day would come so quickly. The raw silk faces competition between Japanese and Italians, and the sales are also poor. In addition, the shipping trade monopoly of foreign companies, I am afraid that the manager Hu, who initiated the monopoly of raw silk, is now like being roasted on fire."

"Mr. Ding said!" Everyone was sad. To put it bluntly, Hu Xueyan monopolized the source of raw silk goods this time. Whether he really wanted to get the pricing power of raw silk for the Qing Dynasty or to obtain monopoly huge profits, it was fundamentally a resistance to foreign forces' exploitation of the Qing Dynasty.

"By the way, this matter is now in a foregone conclusion. Your business should not be implicated, right?" Ding Xiaotian asked.

"No, although we don't make a lot of money on weekdays, we are all good to enjoy the cool under the big trees. With Mr. Ding, you are surrounded by you. In addition, you have given us the investment strategy report, we have never invested in the silk shop or tea shop, so everything is still fine."

In terms of this, these shopkeepers really want to thank Ding Xiaotian. It is precisely because of Dashang's investment report that they changed to other businesses. Dashang was not optimistic about Hu Xueyan's monopoly on raw silk, and now his words come true. This is what makes all shopkeepers convinced, and Dashang has masters!

"That's right, let's come this time, not for business matters... Actually, it's also for business matters."

Ding Xiaotian smiled and said, "Slow down, you will never leave the big merchants, and the big merchants will not be indifferent. Even if you have something to say, I, Ding, dare not pat my chest and make a promise. But we will definitely do what we can do."

"Then let's talk. We heard a while ago that Northeast Autonomousity. Now we don't have much business in Shanghai. I wonder if Mr. Ding can introduce us to some buying and selling, otherwise the cash in our hands will have nowhere to invest, and it would be a pity to keep it."

"That's all!" Ding Xiaotian said, "No problem. The opportunity in our northeast is the new government has also proposed many industrial support policies. The projects there are very easy to find, and as long as you can operate with peace of mind, nothing is a problem."

"That's really thank you Mr. Ding!"

Several shopkeepers stood up at the same time and thanked Ding Xiaotian. At this time, shopkeeper Sun, who had spoken before, continued: "Mr. Ding, I have something to ask for!"

"You said, you said!"

"I... have two sons, one is seven years old and the other is eight years old. I hired a family to teach some basic knowledge. Later I heard that the group has an affiliated college, which starts recruiting school children from the age of seven or eight to carry out Western education. You also know that our family is all businessmen, and those officials are not favored by the money we have in their hands. And we do not have the ability of Hu Xueyan and Sheng Xuanhuai, so we don't expect our descendants to be proud of their ancestors and get the top scorer in the exam..."

Before Manager Sun finished speaking, Ding Xiaotian knew what he meant and smiled and said, "I understand what Manager Sun meant. Didn't he just want to send his two children to the Dashang Affiliated College? No problem, the chairman of the board is to have education without distinction. As long as he is my Chinese children, he can enter the school. But..."

Manager Sun was shocked, "But what?"

"But the school we chairman is free to the poor, but wealthy families like you also have to charge some fees."

"How much does that cost?" The person who asked this was Shopkeeper Li, who had not spoken aside.

"Not much, one student in one school year, one hundred silver dollars!"

When several shopkeeper Sun heard this, he was amused and said, "No problem, isn't it just one hundred silver dollars a year? In this way, I have to express some meaning no matter how I say it. I am willing to invest 5,000 silver dollars to support the chairman's college."

When the others heard this, they seemed to express their determination and shouted.

"We are here too. There are many children and nephews in the family, so let them go there together. In the future, there will be a way to support the family and establish a career!"

Ding Xiaotian suddenly smiled thoughtfully and said, "Since you all want to donate some money, I'll give you an idea. Of course, you'll decide for yourself!" The others nodded and listened, Ding Xiaotian continued, "Our Chairman's Dashang Affiliated College is now free of money. If you donate, you can't even make a splash in it. But I know that the chairman's fiancée, Ms. Shen, recently established a new private charity group called Hongxin Society, which specializes in doing good deeds, open policies, and transparent finances. Since the chairman's side has no effect, I think it would be better to let Ms. Shen blow a pillow wind."

After hearing this, Ding Xiaotian didn't say anything for a long time. He knew that the raw silk stockpiled in Fukang was at least 10 million taels of silver. Even if the big merchants were rich and powerful, they would not use 10 million taels to waft the water. Besides, this was just a backlog of raw silk. If all the debts of Fukang system were included, the silver price would be as high as 20 million taels of silver!

This cannot be called a hot potato. If ordinary people were to die, they would just hide as far as they could.

Hu Xueyan looked at Ding Xiaotian without saying a word, suddenly stood up, and then without saying anything, kneeling down in front of Ding Xiaotian, kowtowing, all of whom had gold under his knees were thrown out of the sky, tears were everywhere, and his voice was choked.

"Mr. Ding, please save Fukang!"

Ding Xiaotian felt a feeling when a sixty-year-old man knelt down in front of him. However, this matter was not something he could decide, and the matter was so wide that it was mixed with open and secret struggles between two big men, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang. The big merchants did not participate in such a thing. Although they had dates with both sides, they also kept a distance. Once they entered into this matter, the balance would probably be broken. As for the consequences, it was hard to predict.

Ding Xiaotian pulled Hu Xueyan up, sighed, and said, "Brother Xueyan, I'm not sure about it, I can't decide this!"

Hu Xueyan nodded, he knew that Ding Xiaotian was telling the truth.

"I can ask the head office for instructions, but this matter is not something that General Manager Nie can decide. In the end, the chairman has the final say."

"clear!"

"I'm calling the headquarters now. The result is hard to say. Brother Xueyan still needs to be mentally prepared."
