The banker was a banker.
His surprise was fleeting.
He lay lazily on the leather armchair, played with his pipe and said: "Chief of Staff Yan, this object should not be made of gold.
If my guess is correct, it should be."
It’s a copper seal.
Brass is worthless, so I’m afraid it won’t be enough for pledge.”
Yan Su said: "It doesn't matter whether this thing is made of gold or copper.
What is important is that it represents the jurisdiction of the two thousand square kilometers north of the Huaijiang River."
Gong Jiaxiang said: "As far as I know, the jurisdiction of the Jiangbei Protector's Office is limited to the county.
The surrounding areas of Nantai are still under the control of various bandits.
The jurisdiction you mentioned is only on the books."
Yan Su said: "Yes, we do only control the county seat at present, but there are still some things that you don't understand or deliberately ignore.
Just a few days ago, five thousand bandits surrounded Nantai County.
There were only twelve newly recruited farmers who didn’t even know how to use a rifle, but you know what happened next.”
Gong Jiaxiang straightened his body and said, "Please tell me, I'm very interested."
"Two days later, the bandits abandoned hundreds of corpses and fled.
Not only did we repel the bandits, we also recruited a local group of tough bandits into a battalion of troops, and dispelled the 11th Regiment of the Provincial Army who took advantage of the situation without any blood.
With their armed forces, they shot and killed forty rioters who were disturbing the people.
I would like to ask General Manager Gong, isn’t this kind of courage and this method worth your investment?”
Yan Su spoke slowly, but every word he spoke was important to the uncle and nephew of the Gong family.
In my heart.
Gong Zijun became excited after hearing this, waved his fist and said: "Maybe we are not strong yet, but we have the support of the people and morale.
Uncle, give us a loan, you will not be disappointed."
Gong Jiaxiang said: "Zi Jun, from your tone, it seems that you are already helping at the office."
Gong Zijun said proudly: "I am now the logistics director of the Office, with the rank of major."
Gong Jiaxiang nodded and said: "Okay, I have been convinced by you.
The 30,000 yuan can be withdrawn immediately."
"Thank you, uncle."
Gong Zijun couldn't help but be happy.
He was very happy that it was a great success for the first time he served the military envoy.
But Yan Su shook his head: "General Manager Gong, 30,000 yuan is just for turnover.
This is not the amount I want to loan."
Gong Jiaxiang frowned: "Thirty thousand is not enough.
Could it be that you want to borrow 100,000?"
Yan Su stretched out his hand and turned it over: "Twice, two hundred thousand."
Two hundred thousand oceans Gong Jiaxiang sat up straight and looked at Yan Su carefully.
Gong Zijun also took a breath and looked at his uncle, then at the chief of staff, and finally his eyes fell on the copper-cast defense.
He suddenly realized that today This meeting must have been planned by the military envoy and the chief of staff a long time ago.
It was intended to be a loan, and it was a huge sum of money.
"Two hundred thousand, I'm afraid it's too heavy for a gift."
General Manager Gong said, staring into Yan Su's eyes.
Chief of Staff Yan said calmly: "In addition to the 30,000 yuan for the gift, the 200,000 yuan is a loan in the name of the Military Guard Office, and is used for mining, building bridges, and building railways."
"What kind of mine, what kind of bridge, what kind of railway, from where to where?"
Gong Jiaxiang sat up straighter, and picked up an American pen and turned it around in his hand.
Gong Zijun knew that this was his uncle's habitual action.

That's how it is in business.
Yan Su spoke eloquently: "Nantai has had mine supervisors since the Ming Dynasty and is rich in coal and iron resources.
The white coal produced in Nantai was once a hot commodity for Huaijiang shipping.
However, because of bandits and the government's ineffectiveness, the minerals were in vain.
It won't work if buried underground.
Now the Ministry of War has established the Jiangbei Military Envoy to crack down on bandits and appease the local area.
Judging from General Chen Zikun's thunderous methods, it is only a matter of time to eliminate the bandits.
What we are doing now is to prepare for the rainy day and plan the economic development plan in advance. " Gong Jiaxiang nodded with a solemn expression.
He was also from Nantai.
Bandits were rampant in his hometown and the people were in dire straits, so he was not worried.
"It is useless to mine coal and iron ore, but it cannot be transported out.
Jiangbei is located in a remote area, surrounded by mountains and the Huaijiang River.
There are no roads or railways.
We can only rely on manned ferries to cross the river, and we also have to worry about the threat of water bandits. , so the military guards decided to build a tower on the Huaijiang River.
The iron bridge and a railway were built at the same time, connecting Longhai Road to the north and Jinpu Road to the south.
People and goods can circulate, the economy can develop, and living standards have improved.
Problems in education, health, and people's livelihood have naturally been solved.
People's lives have become better.
Are there still people who want to be bandits?"
Gong Jiaxiang's blood boiled when he heard this.
He couldn't help but clapped his hands and praised: "What a great development plan.
I would like to see this military guard in person.
This general must be a highly respected Confucian general."
Gong Zijun smiled and said: "Uncle, how many years older than me is the military guard?"
"What?"
Gong Jiaxiang obviously couldn't believe it.
"General Chen studied at St.
John's University in Shanghai and Peking University, and later studied military affairs at West Point in the United States.
It is appropriate to call him a Confucian general."
Yan Su said calmly, and continued to knock Erlang's legs, blowing the non-existent hot air. , he knew that this trip had been a great success.
Gong Jiaxiang was very excited.
He paced back and forth in the room and said, "I thought the person who occupied Jiangbei was a militant warrior, but I didn't expect it to be an overseas student with great ambitions.
Okay, great, my long-cherished wish for many years can finally come true." , But for the projects you mentioned, two hundred thousand oceans is probably not even a drop in the bucket.
There is also the railway, which is a big deal and requires the approval of the State Council. " Yan Su smiled and said: "We have all considered these.
The two hundred thousand is just an initial investment.
Once the iron ore and high-quality white coal are dug out, the money will come rolling in.
As for the issue of railway project approval, General Manager Gong doesn't have to worry.
General Chen’s father-in-law is Mr.
Yao Qizhen, the current vice president of the Bank of Communications.
Mr.
Yao served as deputy director of transportation and has a close relationship with the transportation department, so you know, haha. " Gong Jiaxiang suddenly realized: "It turns out that there is still such a relationship, but I was overthinking it.
By the way, since General Chen's father-in-law is the vice president of Bank of Communications, why?"
Compared with Huijin Bank, the difference between Bank of Communications and Huijin Bank is like the difference between a whale and a shrimp.
No wonder Gong Jiaxiang didn't understand why he came to a small bank owner like himself with such a backer.
Yan Su smiled and pointed at Gong Zijun: "Zijun is our logistics director.

The good news should not be lost to outsiders.
This opportunity should always be reserved for our own people."
Gong Jiaxiang patted his forehead: "I understand."
He said with a self-deprecating smile.
He thought that he was using his relationship with the Gong family to make a fortune, but he didn't know that he was here to give him a chance to make a fortune.
In other words, when people come to borrow money, they are giving themselves face.
"Zi Jun, my uncle wrongly blamed you.
By the way, where do you live?
It's better to stay at my uncle's house tonight.
There are a lot of empty houses anyway."
Gong Jiaxiang warmly invited.
"We are staying at the Dahua Hotel.
We have an appointment in the evening, so I won't disturb my uncle and aunt."
Gong Zijun said.
Yan Su said, "We are all members of our own family, so you are welcome.
By the way, tonight I made an appointment with Zhang Pengcheng, the adjutant of the Governor's Office.
He is my classmate at the Baoding Martial Arts School.
If General Manager Gong has time, why not come with us?"
" Gong Jiaxiang said: "That's best.
I'll make the arrangements.
I'm familiar with the provincial capital."
"Then there's General Manager Lao Gong."
Yan Su smiled happily.
That night, Gong Jiaxiang was the host and found a restaurant at the Fourth Archway, the most famous place for fireworks in the provincial capital.
When the old bustard saw the regular guests coming, he went up to greet them with a smile, led them into the room, and called a group of orioles to serve them. , peeling nuts, pouring wine and making tea, burning tobacco and soaking, the service is extremely considerate.
Gong Zijun was a college student and had never been to such an occasion.
Seeing that he was shy, several young men aged 13 or 14 laughed and leaned on him, which scared him so much that he almost ran away.
Yan Su said: "Zijun, you are the chief of our logistics department, a dignified major officer, you can't have stage fright."
Gong Jiaxiang smiled and said: "Yes, nowadays, business and official matters are discussed on the wine table in a brothel, covered with smoke.
The office is just a decoration.
By the way, Chief of Staff, you have been in the Army Department in Beijing.
What is the atmosphere like there?"
Yan Su said: "Beijing, Shanghai, Hankou, and Tianjin are all the same.
Not to mention ordinary businessmen, just the chiefs and deputy chiefs.
At night, they are all in the Bada Hutong, and they must not have escaped."
A burst of laughter.
"Oh my, whoever I thought was smiling so heartily is General Manager Gong of Huijin Bank."
Following a burst of laughter, Zhang Pengcheng arrived.
He changed into a silk trousers jacket with a gold watch chain on the front. , doesn’t look like a soldier, but like a businessman.
The real master came, and everyone talked while drinking, not shying away from the brothel ladies at all.
These women were very professional, and there was no need to worry about them talking nonsense everywhere.
Zhang Pengcheng is obviously very good at asking people to intercede and blow pillows.
He is the adjutant chief.
Although he does not have much power, he can be regarded as someone close to Sun Governor.
He is a well-rounded person and has excellent interpersonal relationships.

Yan Su can be considered After finding the right person, we finalized the specific details after some discussions, and we just had to wait for Gong Jiaxiang's funds to be available before implementation.
After the negotiation, they started playing mahjong.
There were four people at the same table.
Gong Zijun was a little hesitant because he didn't like gambling, but after looking at Yan Su, he still sat on the table.
"Director Zhang's watch chain is so bright."
While shuffling the cards, Gong Jiaxiang complimented seemingly casually.
"Yes, it's 18k Russian gold."
Zhang Pengcheng said quite proudly.
The gold chain on his chest shone magnificently under the light.
After a while, Zhang Pengcheng threw out a card, and Gong Zijun shouted: "What a fool!"
"Haha, old classmate, you are setting off a firecracker."
Yan Su laughed, but gently kicked Gong Zijun with his foot under the table.
Gong Zijun was very confused and continued to play cards.
This time he had a better idea and no longer played cards recklessly.
Moreover, he noticed that his uncle, who was usually very good at playing cards, had never failed even once today and even threw away good cards to let the next player know.
Director Zhang ate enough.
Looking at the increasing number of chips in front of Zhang Pengcheng, he finally understood
