What is the concept of 50 million taels of silver during the Republic of China?
That's not 50 million silver. According to the exchange ratio in the three years of the Republic of China, one Yuan Datou can be exchanged for one thousand coins, and one tael of silver can be exchanged for 1,700 coins. In other words, one tael of silver is equivalent to 1.7 Yuan Datou. Fan Ziran
The 50 million taels of silver that the richest man surnamed Zhou mentioned was 85 million Yuan Datou. If this is not intuitive enough, when converted based on the prices at that time, the purchasing power of a piece of Yuan Datou is almost equivalent to more than 200 RMB yuan eighty years later.
In other words, if this man were released more than 80 years later, he would still be a rich man with a net worth of more than 10 billion. Although this loss of more than 10 billion is not very conspicuous in modern society, but in the Republic of China, which was short of materials and funds, it was not yet too active.
In the early days, it was really rich and there was no need for it.
The Fan family has millions of dollars in wealth, and is already considered a first-class wealthy person in the north, but compared with this person, it is really not the same level.
"It's really easy to do business with such an awesome dad. Hehe, he didn't do the bank business that his father's generation ran, but found a new way to start mining, and he did it successfully. It's a bit interesting." Liu Lang said thoughtfully.
Zhou Chunwen read the information over and over again several times and finally made the final decision: "He is the one. We will visit him tonight."
Although the name of the Huashang Group has not yet been established, the name of the Fan family in Pingjin is big enough. If Fan Ziran, the direct eldest son of the Fan family, wants to pay a visit in person, will the Zhou family neglect him?
Zhou Chunwen not only sent his eldest son as a representative to come to the hotel in person with a car to invite him, but he also went out of his way to greet her a hundred meters away from the gate, which gave Fan Ziran a lot of face.
As the manager with the lowest rank among the four, Fatty Liu was the first one to get out of the co-pilot. He and Tyson on the other side opened the door in a very awkward manner. Only then did the oily and powder-faced Young Master Fan
Get out of the car in style.
No need to ask, the person who can smell the oily smell from Youtou Noodles ten miles away must be Young Master Fan. Zhou Chunwen glanced at his eldest son who got out of the first car. After receiving the unmistakable message, he stepped forward with a smile.
Getting ready to say hello.
Unexpectedly, Young Master Fan gave him an apologetic look, took a step back, and then another person walked out of the carriage.
Zhou Chunwen, who was smiling and preparing to welcome guests, was stunned.
Although I already knew that there were four Major General Fan coming to the meeting, I didn't expect that there were two foreigners with them. One was obviously a bodyguard despite his extraordinary imposing manner, but the other was a bit more eye-catching.
Not only is he a foreigner, but he is also a foreign girl, and he is also an extremely beautiful foreign girl. The northern young man really knows how to play, and Zhou Chunwen can't help but feel a little bit more envious of the young man from the Fan family whom he just met.
Fuhao Zhou has not experienced the prosperity of Shili Foreign Market, but he has never seen such a beautiful Western woman, let alone owned one.
It's just that Mr. Fan's behavior is a bit out of place! Generally speaking, the last person to get off the bus is the person with the highest position. This is just like in the movie, the big BOSS is always the last one to appear. From ancient times
To this day, the class concept of the Chinese people has always been this way.
How can a foreign lover be put in the most important position?
Looking at the confused Jiangxi rich man who looked fat and handsome, the corner of Liu Lang's mouth twitched slightly.
The little foreign girl knew she was going to a banquet and didn't know what kind of crazy she was. She usually looks very dashing in cowhide boots paired with jeans and a casual vest, and her long legs also fit Liu Lang's aesthetic sense. But after tossing around in the room for a long time, she actually
Wearing a white lace dress and high heels, she stood slimly in front of Liu Lang.
It was a little cold to wear a dress in May, but Liu Lang still had to admit that the little foreign girl wearing high-heeled shoes and a dress with her sparkling calves almost blinded him.
After holding it in for a long time, Liu Lang could only use the words "very beautiful" to express his admiration for the closest modern dressing style he had seen since traveling to the Republic of China.
The rich man in Jiangxi must have been shocked by the young foreign girl's sudden change in dressing style! Liu Lang could understand Zhou Chunwen's mood at this time.
"Father, let me introduce to you, this is Master Fan Ziran. This is..." Zhou Chunwen's eldest son, standing aside, took the initiative to introduce to his father.
"Mr. Zhou, let me do it! Boss Zhou, I am Fan Ziran, and this is Miss Laura. To be specific..." Fan Ziran looked around and grinned, "Let's talk about it after entering your mansion!"
"
"Haha, okay, Miss Laura, Master Fan, I, Zhou Chunwen, will invite you inside." Zhou Chunwen was very smart, and held his hands slightly to treat the guests.
The order of these titles also quietly changed.
Obviously, through the active introduction of the eldest son of the Fan family, the fashionable and beautiful foreign girl was not what he initially imagined. In terms of status, she was higher than him. Zhou Chunwen had already understood.
After a few people sat down in the living room, although they were a little surprised that a certain fat steward who didn't know the rules sat down below the eldest son of the Fan family, Zhou Chunwen still calmly served Liu Lang a cup of hot tea with his own hands.
Maybe this person is also a big shot? Although he looks like a manager, Zhou Chunwen possesses the caution and caution unique to Jiangxi businessmen.
"Haha, Boss Zhou, it was inconvenient to be outside just now. Now I can formally introduce to you the lady next to me, the princess of the Ross family of the United States of America, and Ms. Laura, the deputy general manager of our overseas investment company of Huashang Group.
The person next to me is Liu Shang, the manager of the steel smelting plant of my Huashang Group." Fan Ziran stood up and introduced to Zhou Chunwen.
"The American Ross family?" Zhou Chunwen was stunned for a moment, a look of shock flashed in his eyes, and he shouted out loud: "Which Rothschild Laura are you, who published a newspaper to denounce the atrocities of the Japanese invaders?"
"Yes, MR Zhou, I am Laura Rothschild." A ladylike smile appeared on the little foreign girl's face.
"I'm sorry, Miss Laura is here, she's so splendid! Haha." Zhou Chunwen was so polite to Laura that it was almost flattering.
However, if you think about the industries involved in this business, it is not difficult to understand why he took a different view of a foreign girl from across the ocean who was beyond his reach. Many of the minerals he operates happen to be exported to the United States. If
Being able to get to know the noble daughter of such a big American family will naturally be of great help to the expansion of his business in the future.
As for the fat manager that Fan Ziran introduced at the end, of course... he was forgotten by Boss Zhou in front of Miss Laura's brilliance.
Of course, Liu Lang didn't care about this. He came today mainly to eat with his mouth open, and left the rest to Young Master Fan and Laura.
This is also the time when the deputy manager of Huashang Group and the deputy manager of Huashang Group Overseas Investment Company demonstrate their abilities. If they perform well, of course, nothing will be mentioned. If they perform poorly, these titles will probably be erased by Chairman Liu.
If it was just Young Master Fan who came to visit before, Zhou Chunwen would have given him enough courtesy for the sake of Fan Xudong, who was well-known in the north, but the arrival of the little foreign girl directly caused the Zhou family to directly raise the level of hospitality to another level.
.
Since there was still a lot of time before dinner, Boss Zhou directly led the troupe to the back garden, and the time he spent was just asking Fan Ziran about Fan Xudong's current health and making some irrelevant gossip.
This can be regarded as entertainment before the meal! The singing style of Jiangxi's Gan Opera was a bit uncomfortable for Liu Lang, but the little foreign girl watched it with gusto and praised the magic and colorfulness of Eastern culture.
All foreigners who come to China are country bumpkins. Liu Lang can only define the little foreign girl who wears a princess dress and looks like a country bumpkin to the theater. There are more than ten kinds of operas in one province in China!
