What Wang Wenzhao did not say was that he had advanced the medical fee of nearly 100 yuan. How could Li Bin, who had gone bankrupt because of his son, have that kind of money? After Wang Wenzhao returned home, his wife complained for a while. But Wang Wenzhao could not just watch Li Bin's child.
Death from illness, right? In this era, one hundred oceans is enough for a medium-sized family of four to live in Taiyuan City for more than a year. Even Wang Wenzhao's net worth is not a small sum.
However, Wang Wenzhao also gained confidence at this time. Even though his nephew was a high-ranking official in the province, his son was now also the head of a county. Is a hundred oceans a lot?
…
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, two black Buick cars drove into the foreigner district of Donghuamen Street. It was Zhou Wen who came to pick up Hobert, and Delman and several other foreigners went to have dinner. Zhou Wen knew that foreigners were also
Face is very important. Since you want to take the initiative to make friends with these foreigners, you might as well prepare all the arrangements. Just borrow Liu Ruoshui's car and two small cars to pick up the people, so that these foreigners can have all the appearances.
You must know that cars were just introduced into China during this period. Except for a few big cities such as Shanghai and Tianjin, there were a certain number of cars in the country, and the number in other cities was very small. Even the car of the dignified Chairman of Shanxi Province, Chief Xu, was given by Marshal Yan before leaving the field.
Give him one. There are only one new car and a few old cars in the entire province.
Two cars drove slowly on Foreigner Street, attracting many foreigners on the roadside to look at them. They thought it was the provincial government official who was coming. They saw the car parked in front of a small house, and a young colonel got out of the car with a smile and talked to someone who had already seen him.
Several foreigners waiting at the door warmly hugged each other and communicated in fluent English.
The foreigners watching all knew that it was the German engineer Hobert and his friends from the arsenal.
At this time, at the door of a Japanese trading company facing the street not far away, there were two Japanese men in kimono carefully observing the lively scene here. One of the older men said: "Yamano-kun, can you guess this Chinese man?"
Who do you represent? What are you doing here?"
The younger man smiled and said: "Kangtian-kun is going to test me again. Okay, let me guess. The color of this Chinese military uniform should be that of the Nanjing man. He is already a colonel at such a young age, which shows that he
He has a deep family background. He may even be the nephew of a high-ranking official in Nanjing. You can infer this from his surname by asking about his name. Nanjing is currently at war with Germany. Let’s see how much he treats those Germans.
With such enthusiasm, the purpose is self-evident.”
The older man named Okada praised with satisfaction: "Yamano-kun, you work very hard. It's amazing that you can think of so many details in such a short time after coming to China. Let's work together for the great cause of the empire!"
"Hi!"
These two Japanese are actually spies sent to China by Japan. Of course, they are not spies of any important departments. The important ones are in Shanghai, Nanjing and other China's economic and political centers. Even Okada himself is a real spy.
businessmen. But this is the terrible thing about the Japanese. Under the education of Japanese militarism, almost everyone in the country is willing to dedicate their body and mind to the prosperity and strength of the so-called Empire of Japan.
Not to mention that the emperor's status in their minds is already comparable to that of those extreme religious leaders. As long as the emperor asks them to sacrifice themselves, most Japanese people are willing to sacrifice their wealth and even their lives without hesitation. They are loyal to the emperor and devote themselves to the empire.
, has become a belief of recent generations of Japanese people.
It is this belief that has led all of Japan to work together frugally and to build the most powerful navy in the world with the efforts of all the people in the country.
It was this belief that led Japan to brazenly launch a full-scale war of aggression against China seven years later in an attempt to annex China.
It was this belief that made the Japanese extremely ambitious and confident. Regardless of being trapped in the quagmire of the China War, they actually launched attacks and declared war on the two most powerful industrial countries in the world at the time. In the end, they persisted for three years.
.
According to Zhou Wen's understanding, the Japanese during this period were actually an extremely religious country. Their religion was militarism, and their religious leader was the Emperor of Japan.
This Okada is one of the representatives. Because he wanted to expand the market in China, as a businessman, he voluntarily participated in training with the Japanese intelligence department. After coming to China, he did business while collecting all aspects of China's intelligence. A person with an identity like Okada
People are everywhere in China. It can be said that Japanese spies are everywhere in China, no matter east, west, north or south. Wherever there are Japanese, there are Japanese spies.
Zhou Wen, who had already got into the car and headed to the restaurant, didn't know that he had just attracted the attention of two Japanese spies. Coincidentally, he was also thinking about issues related to Japan at this time. Just passing by a restaurant called Yong Wen
Jin Bank's Bank of Japan attracted his attention. Zhou Wen knew that Japan's Yongjin Bank was a large bank that could compete with international banks such as Citibank in the United States, Deutsche Bank in Germany, and HSBC in the United Kingdom at that time.
What does a big bank mean? In Zhou Wen's heart, it means having money, lots and lots of money. But Zhou Wen is going to be poor now, soon.
Zhou Wen now has nearly 1.5 million in various currencies and gold and silver. He looks very rich, but the money he will spend soon may be even more. Why does he deliberately make friends with these Germans?
, just to spend money. Delman is an arms dealer, and Zhou Wen wants to buy weapons, cars, and steelmaking equipment from him. The next step is to build a hospital, and his junior brother Feng Tianpei is still waiting pitifully.
By the way, we may have to build a pharmaceutical factory. Although her junior sister-in-law Li Qiaoer is not as good as Feng Tianpei in medical skills, she is very talented in researching drug formulas. She has thoroughly studied the small book passed down by her master Zi Qing Lao Tao. In addition, she herself
With her knowledge of drugs, she actually improved a hemostatic drug. Now Fuyuan Company's store in Taiyuan has almost become her laboratory. Why? Because there are so many medicinal raw materials there.
Zhou Wen doesn't have time to take care of this matter now, so he can only talk about it later. But if there is a special hemostatic drug, then he has to set up a factory? It will cost money. So Zhou Wen had a premonition that he would be poor soon.
As the saying goes, extreme poverty brings change, extreme evil happens. Now Zhou Wen's eyes are fixed on Japan's Yongjin Bank. This is a very rich man, a very, very, very rich man.
But it doesn’t work in Taiyuan. A good rabbit won’t eat grass beside its nest. In fact, the main reason is that the Yongjin Bank in Taiyuan does not have too much money. Why? Taiyuan does not have a Japanese concession, let alone a Japanese garrison, and there is no port and economy.
It's not developed either. How much money will there be in the bank?
Where is Taiyuan not? There are Shanghai and Tianjin. Think about it, if there are concessions, there will be a lot of Japanese deposits and business remittances, if there are garrisons, there will be military expenditures and other expenses, and if there are ports, there will be a lot of trade and transportation. These funds will be placed in
Where? Of course it’s the Japanese bank. The more funds are in circulation and deposits, the more the bank’s margin is. The fat sheep is beeping.
Of course, Zhou Wen can only think about it now, but is he planning for a rainy day... Hehe!
