Chapter 306 Real Grandson and Pretend Grandson
In terms of industrial management, Wu Bingjian not only owns real estate, real estate, tea gardens, shops, etc. in China, but also boldly invests in railways, securities transactions, and even gets involved in insurance business in other countries across the ocean, making "Jardine House" a A veritable multinational consortium.
It's a pity that with the state of the country at that time, businessmen were doomed to be sheep and power was supreme; unlike Western countries, capital could control the direction of the country.
Therefore, the Wu family suffered heavy losses under repeated cuts by the Qing court.
Wu Bingjian realized that something was wrong, so he planned for a rainy day and sent many of his children overseas early on. While taking care of his overseas business, he also tried to increase the Wu family's ability to resist risks.
The three caves of the cunning rabbit, nothing more than that!
His move was really right, otherwise the Wu family might really be wiped out.
How could Fang Mengyin not know what Xianghe knew. Since the Fang family was able to get up, how could the Fang family lack wisdom? Even she, who used to be an indifferent lady, knew the allusions of learning from history.
As long as it is not stubborn and dandy, studying history is an indispensable lesson for members of the Fang family.
It just made Fang Mengyin sigh, what was the purpose of the Wu family who took root in London to find her, the head of the Fang Group?
She hadn't heard of the Wu family's business in Xiangtang either, maybe it was behind the controlling company, and it was hidden deep.
Fang Mengyin thought of a possibility, which was the answer to her question, but she suddenly thought of a strange thing. Wu Bingjian founded Jardine House before his death. What is the relationship between this and Jardine Matheson?
Wu Zaisheng was thirty years old, and he was a junior in front of Fang Mengyin. Fang Mengyin didn't hold back too much, so he asked this question directly.
After asking, Fang Mengyin looked at Wu Zaisheng, waiting for him to clarify.
Although she knew about Wu Bingjian and Jardine House, she didn't have a deep understanding of the history of Jardine Matheson. Fang Mengyin only knew that the current Jardine Group in Hong Kong was originally named Jardine Matheson.
But Jardine Matheson is really owned by the Eagle Countryman. What is the secret behind it?
As soon as Fang Mengyin's words came out, not only Wu Zaisheng, but even the secretary Wu Shihao who was sitting next to Wu Zaisheng put away his smiling face, and his complexion sank.
Wu Zaisheng's expression was complicated, he didn't know whether it was resentment, aggrieved, helplessness, or all three.
Just when Fang Mengyin was about to say sorry, Wu Zai said loudly, "They are shameless thieves."
Hearing Wu Zaisheng's sharp words, Fang Mengyin raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Wu Zaisheng's reaction to be so strong, it seems that there are indeed secret allusions in it.
"The current Jardine Group, formerly known as Jardine Matheson, but earlier it was called Chardin Matheson Matheson Co., was established in 1832 by William Jardine and James Matheson, a Scottish eagle. It was established in the year when our branch came to Eagle Country.
And in 1843, the year when Dun Yuangong died, my Wu family's main line in the Qing Dynasty suffered heavy losses. Those two shameless thieves stole the name of my Wu family's Yihehang, and took Chadian Madi Chen Matheson re-registered and changed its name to Jardine Matheson. "
Speaking of this, Wu Zaisheng felt even more aggrieved in his heart, he clenched his fists unconsciously, and Wu Shihao on the side also shook his head and sighed, feeling equally depressed.
"I see."
Hearing Wu Zaisheng's explanation, Fang Mengyin immediately understood that the feeling was that the two eagle countrymen had imitated the most famous Jardine Bank among the thirteen branches in Guangdong Province.
This can also understand why Wu Zaisheng's mood changed drastically.
No one can accept that the glory of his family is stolen by outsiders. "Jardine House" is the glory of the Wu family, and it was built by the Wu family with hard work. In the end, it was stolen by foreigners because the family was oppressed by external forces and overwhelmed. .
It's just that there is one more word "foreign", and it is very popular outside.
As the persecuted Wu family, one can imagine the grievance and depression in their hearts.
"Then, is the Jardine House of your Wu family still there?" Fang Mengyin asked.
"It has long since ceased to exist. The foundation of my Wu family over there has been wiped out under the oppression of the Qing court. Now there is only rejuvenation, and there is no Joy House." Wu Zaisheng said bitterly.
When he said the last four words "recovery", he unconsciously clenched his fists again.
Fang Mengyin's eyes narrowed, "Fushengsheng? This name is interesting. It can be interpreted in multiple meanings just from the words. Combined with what Wu Zaisheng said about the situation of the Wu family, this name means the glory of the ancestor of the Wu family. .”
Fang Mengyin nodded slightly, and didn't ask "Have you ever thought about reshaping Jardine House", such a narrow-minded and stupid question, there is no need to ask this kind of question at all.
How big is the current Jardine Group and the Jardine Consortium with the Jardine Group as its core? Fang Mengyin knows very well that it is the No. Fingers thought, and knew that the Wu family was definitely not as good as Jardine.
The situation is not as good as people, so what else?
No matter how aggrieved, he can only bear it, and he has endured it without seeing the Wu family for more than a hundred years.
Fang Mengyin is already satisfied with the psychology of gossip, but she still doesn't know what business Wu Zaisheng wants to talk about when she invites her here.
"Ms. Fang, I'm here this time to invite you to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Chinatown Business Association in London on the 7th of next month. I hope you will be honored and present."
Hearing what Wu Zaisheng said, Fang Mengyin thought about it again, "How big of a deal do you want to negotiate with me, and invite me to London first? Do you want to give me a good arm first, to show the strength of the Wu family?"
Fang Mengyin couldn't figure out for a moment what kind of medicine Wu Zaisheng was selling in the gourd.
But it's okay to go to London, talk to the eldest grandson first, Fang Mengyin made up his mind, and agreed vaguely first.
...
Nanyi soon received a call from Fang Mengyin.
His idea was similar to Fang Mengyin's. He could go to London, not for the Wu family, but for the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. It would be good to make some contacts with wealthy Chinese businessmen in Eagle Country.
Even in Ghost's investigation report and Nanyi's own memory, the only person who deserves his attention now is Ye Ronghuan, the boss of Rongyehang, but making connections doesn't have to be to climb high branches, making friends down is also a kind of making friends.
Even if it is a piece of toilet paper, Nanyi will make it play its biggest role.
It's just that he has never heard of the popularity of the Wu family.
In his previous life, Nanyi had a business partner who established a bag brand in London. As one of the shareholders, he always flew to London several times a year, and he also had certain contacts in the local Chinese circle.
Not to mention what big things can be accomplished, but he is still very well informed on gossip, and he has never heard of a very powerful Wu family in London, or, at that time, his level was not enough?
Nan Yi thought so.
But soon, he put this problem aside, and now he has a lot of troubles in front of him.
First of all, the cold-faced woman in the homestay has been here for two and a half days, and she hasn't left yet. The longer the delay, the greater the possibility of being exposed on the cliff.
"We can't wait any longer, the development plan of the villa has to be advanced."
After Nanyi made up his mind, he called Uedo Masami and asked her to tell Ikeda Karikyo about the matter, and the Ikeda Club came over as soon as possible and bought the beach.
"President Hequan, do you know the name of the village chief?" After making the phone call, Nanyi went to Hequansheng to inquire.
"Of course, the village chief's name is Bayotomei. Most of the Scarecrow Village's surname is Bayotome. I heard that the ancestor was a very famous warrior."
"So that's it, then do you know who this beach belongs to?"
"This beach belongs to Yaotome Miya's private property, even the land of my homestay. I have to pay him the land use fee every year. Why did Nagao-san suddenly ask this?"
"A friend of mine wanted to find a beach to build a few villas. He knew that I was on vacation by the sea. Just now he called me to ask if it was suitable for me. I told him it was not bad, so he said he would come over and have a look."
"Villa?" Izumi Katsuki asked in surprise, "Vacation villa?"
"Yes, not only villas, but also holiday estates. President Izumi, if he takes a fancy to this place and develops it here, your homestay business will also become better."
"I hope."
He Quansheng was noncommittal, and he didn't seem to care much about the quality of the business.
"Ha... just this beach is still developing holiday villas, and the money is not enough." Nan Yi and He Quansheng were talking, and the cold-faced woman happened to come downstairs to drink water. When she heard the conversation between the two, she uttered aloud Stab a sentence.
Nan Yi smiled warmly, and said to the cold-faced woman: "It's just an investigation, whether it is necessary to take action, my friend will naturally have his judgment."
"snort……"
The cold-faced girl made a nasal sound, poured a cup of grapefruit tea and went upstairs again.
"I have a bad temper!"
Nanyi slandered, but did not take any further actions. If he hadn't read the registration book of the homestay and knew that the surname of this cold-faced woman was Mitsui, Nan Yi really wanted to clean her up.
Mitsui, if it's the Mitsui of the Mitsui Zaibatsu, Nanyi really can't afford to provoke this behemoth in Japan, uh, removing the word "in Japan" still still can't afford to provoke.
Unless he's not going to mess around and just come to a dead end, then he still has a chance to touch it.
Mitsui Bank, Mitsui Trust, Mitsui Life Insurance, Mitsui Marine Fire Insurance, Mitsui Financial Leasing, Mitsukoshi, Mitsui \u0026 Co., Ltd., Mitsui Fudosan, Mitsui Construction, Mitsui Oil, Toyota Motor, Mitsui Shipbuilding, Toshiba, Fuji and so on [omitting hundreds of companies name].
As far as this large group of Mitsui younger brothers is concerned, Nan's is less than half able to single out, let alone deal with the Mitsui Zaibatsu... Let's see in fifteen years, maybe there will be a chance.
"Mitsui Yukiko, damn it, I don't know her real name or alias. Whatever she is, she can't be provoked for the time being anyway. Not only can she not be provoked, but she must be protected. If something happens to this bitch here, the devil knows whether she will be angered or not. If I say too much, I will cry."
Rubbing his own face, Nan Yi thought, "This grandson, you have to continue pretending. If you are cool, you can be cool. You can sing high-profile. When have you seen someone with a good end? You can't drift in the rivers and lakes. Piaobao must be stabbed."
Walking out of the homestay, Nanyi called Sayuri Hagiwara, took a fishing rod and went to sit and fish on the reef.
One day is spent fishing.
On the second day, Yukiko Mitsui was still there, and Nanyi and Sayuri Hagiwara did not spend time here, but went to downtown Fujisawa.
He was not in a hurry to go shopping, but opened a room in a hotel in the urban area. Nan Yi and all the bodyguards gathered in front of the TV to watch the video.
A box of video tapes from China, the content is the second martial arts conference held in Wuchuan, this year's video, the theme is Sanda competition without protective gear.
The country has an idea to push Sanda and Taekwondo to the Olympic Games, so it held such a pilot competition in Wuchuan.
The video started to play, and the very ugly fighting moves on TV began. One of the contestants A swung a straight fist at contestant B. Contestant B dodged to the left, and kicked contestant A in the stomach with a whip kick , Direct KO.
From the beginning to the end of the referee's call, it took a total of 3.25 seconds, which also included the time for the two players to look at each other to find each other's flaws.
"Can you beat it?" Nan Yi pressed the pause, then turned to ask the school belle next to him.
"I will lose in a game. I will use a dagger in a life-and-death fight. If I don't have a dagger, I will trade my injury for my life. This player has never been a soldier or killed anyone. If..."
The school belle didn't finish her sentence, but Nan Yi knew what she meant. If contestant B had also been a soldier and killed people before, the school belle should not be able to beat her.
"Tiger cub, what about you?"
"Seventy-three, he is not my opponent."
Nan Yi asked each of the bodyguards one by one, and only half of them felt that they could beat player B. He also substituted it himself. If he didn't use hidden weapons, he should be caught in three moves.
The pause is over, and then looking down, Nanyi saw the essence moves of various martial arts schools, such as stomping toes, Baji's sticking to the mountain, Taiji's shaking strength, etc., except for not hitting the vital parts, it is really punching internal organs.
Seeing the fifth match, one of the contestants really wanted rat tail juice, he didn't talk about martial arts too much, he swept his opponent with a sweeping kick and flew in the air, before the opponent landed, he kicked him with a side kick Opponent's chest area.
Nanyi watched it several times. This grandson is really a bit ruthless. He was obviously running to kill his opponent. He didn't touch the opponent with his feet, but he used his toes when he was about to kick.
The tip of his toe touched the depression in the middle of the opponent's chest. With his strength, his opponent's life could not be saved.
Although the player who was selected was carried down on the video, Nanyi and the bodyguards agreed that this player must die.
After watching the video, Nan Yi opened the letter that was forwarded from New York together with the video. The letter said that there will be three dead and four paralyzed in this competition, and there will be no next one.
Nan Yi also thought of it, there would be no next round at all, the only difference between this match and the real fight is that it cannot attack the vital points and the referee is not allowed to continue attacking if the referee falls to the ground.
Otherwise, if you haven't practiced sticking to the ground, being knocked down to the ground is no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
"President, if you meet three or four people like this in Huaguo, you will be watching you together, and the tiger cub and I will not be able to protect you."
Finally, Xiaohua and Nanyi said this sentence.
Of course, Nanyi knew it in his heart. Fortunately, his luck was not bad. He had never met the car bandit Road Hog. Otherwise, not to mention his whole life, half of his life would definitely be confessed.
"No, we have to recruit a few more master fighters and put them in the country."
