    But he said that Jin Wanwan had eaten at Li You's place and talked for a while with his daughter and son-in-law. Seeing that it was already afternoon, he stood up and left.  Li You sent him out of the gate. When he was leaving, Jin Wanwan thought of something and asked: "Don't you have a relationship with the eldest princess? Can you ask Su Niang how she is doing through His Highness Qiantose?"

    Li You advised: "My old Taishan, you should stop having such thoughts! The affairs of the emperor's family are completely different from ours. Now Sister Su has a dragon seed, but the queen on the other side has not moved. This is even more unsatisfactory at home and abroad."  Attention! At this extremely sensitive moment, please do not take any unnecessary action."

    Li You knew that the emperor often read the Mingli newspaper. The newspaper published the news of Jin Wanwan's arrival in Beijing. If the emperor was interested, he would naturally summon Jin Wanwan.

    This is the fair and open way, and the least suspicious way. Otherwise, through other channels, it will always be seen as collusion between inside and outside, and communication between the inner palace and the inner palace.  If you are too proactive and cause the emperor to become suspicious, it will be the worst consequence, so you must be cautious.

    But Li You didn¡¯t want to reveal this possibility to Jin Wanwan, lest Jin Wanwan think too much and get lost. Besides, he was not sure.

    But it was said that Gao Changjiang and Jin Wanwan from Hankou lived together in the Huizhou Guild Hall and were very busy all day long.  Every day he went out at dawn and came back at midnight. He visited and entertained people everywhere. Many officials from Huguang and Huizhou had his posts.

    Expanding new contacts and consolidating old friendships are the main purposes of Gao Da Yuanwai's visit to the capital.  As for his tea business, it was just a side thing like Jin Wanwan's tea.

    In a few days, Gao Da Yuan was generous in his actions and became quite popular in the circles of Beijing, Central and Huguang.  Earn some fame.

    It was nearly midnight that day, and the senior official came back from outside feeling a little drunk. When he entered the yard, he saw that the lights in the east wing were still on.  It turned out that Gao Changjiang and Jin Wanwan shared a large courtyard in the guild hall, and Jin Wanwan and his entourage lived in the east wing.  Gao Yuanwai and his entourage lived in the west wing.

    Since there is still light in the east chamber, it means that Jin Wanwan has not rested yet.  Gao Changjiang thought for a while, he only focused on running outside these days.  He was estranged from Jin Wanwan.  This should not be done and should be made up for.

    So he turned around and walked towards the east chamber to sit with Jin Wanwan.  After entering the house, the guests and hosts sat down, and the two outsiders naturally talked about what they had seen in Beijing in the past few days.

    Jin Wanwanqing said calmly: "Today I went to Qipan Street in the south of the city and chatted with the shopkeeper and gentlemen of Huichang Bank for a day. I gained a lot."

    Gao Changjiang took several sips of strong tea to sober up a little.  Hearing this, he couldn't help but kindly pointed out: "Brother Jin, I have to say something unpleasant, what you are doing is not the right way."

    Jin Wanwan didn't care, "Brother Gao Xian, if you have any great opinions, I would like to hear the details."

    Gao Changjiang¡¯s attitude was very sincere.  He advised: "The products of the capital are not rich and the folk customs are not rich. Why do people all over the world flock to it? Without him, the word "power" touches people's hearts! Or maybe the capital's local products are the powerful officials, and there is no other place in the world. We live far away in the south.  It¡¯s not easy to enter Beijing. Now that you¡¯re here, don¡¯t miss the opportunity.

    We must seize the opportunity to make friends with all parties. As the saying goes, the more troops Han Xing has, the better.  Rich people like us might become jealous at some point.  How can one securely protect the family business without official connections?  Although you claim to be the head of the state, you can't say it's foolproof. The more connections you have, the more security you have. This is definitely true.

    So if you go and chat with some bank keeper, what good will that do to you?  Your main business is not in the north, so it is completely useless to establish friendship with merchants in the capital.  Why waste your breath!  It's better to build up your reputation and deepen your contacts with the officials and dignitaries from Yangzhou. Maybe you will receive some care in the future, and your efforts today will not be in vain.  "

    Jin Wanwan smiled and said nothing. Although Gao Changjiang's words were snobbish, realistic, and sincere, they did make sense, but they were not Jin Wanwan's.

    He is not an ordinary wealthy businessman now. He is also half an imperial businessman. He has a much greater sense of security than Gao Yuanwai. This is something Gao Yuanwai cannot understand.  Besides, the main purpose of his visit to Beijing this time was not to have a relationship with Gao Changjiang.

    After Gao Yuanwai spoke to Jin Wanwan, he felt sleepy. After yawning, he went back to his room to sleep.  When he got up the next day, he thought about the day's itinerary. After washing, he went out to have breakfast, but he saw a few newspapers lying in the front hall of the club.

    Gao Changjiang has watched this new thing several times in the past few days and has to admit that it is an interesting thing.  Like Jin Wanwan, he also had the idea of ????writing a newspaper after returning to Hankou.

    The senior member of the foreign affairs department picked up today's newspaper and looked up. The headline on the front page of the newspaper was not a curse on the government, but two lines of large characters: "The inside story of Jin Wanwan's entry into Beijing is revealed, overturning a thousand-year business tradition in one fell swoop!"

    Jin Wanwan made the headlines?  Gao Yuanwai hurriedly read the content again, "Today's Newspaper and everyone knows that the Yangzhou wealthy businessman Jin family had a secret meeting with the capital Huichang Bank yesterday. This newspaper inquired from many parties and learned that the two wanted to make an oath together and recognize each other's banknotes. If successful, the two places in the capital Yangzhou  You can use the ticket to cash in between! I also heard that a senior official from the Ministry of Household Affairs was here to talk.

    This is truly unprecedented, and it can also be a major event that people all over the world have to pay attention to.  From now on, perhaps everywhere, a banknote will be popular everywhere, and it can be redeemed and exchanged everywhere, which is very convenient!  "

    After reading it, Gao DaYuan was stunned and fell out.  He also had heard about the circulation scope of the Mingli Newspaper. It was said that wherever there were literate people in the capital, there was a Mingli Newspaper. The news in the Mingli Newspaper could be spread throughout the city overnight.

    Before, he thought that Jin Wanwan was too low-key and wasting the opportunity to go to Beijing, but it turned out that he was too high-profile!  This quiet limelight is much greater than him, and this ambition is also much greater than him.  I had kindly advised him to be more active last night, but I was really ashamed of myself.

    Gao Changjiang can maintain a huge family business, so he is certainly not a stupid person.  I immediately thought that everything is difficult to start a business, and how could Jin Wanwan dare to make such a move without strong support for something as groundbreaking as cross-regional exchange?

    So there must be an expert behind Jin Wanwan, someone with a high status!  But I only heard about Jin Wanwan's dealings with his son-in-law, and no one else.  At this point, Gao Changjiang couldn't help but think of Deng Shilang's words: "Master Li is a special one."

    The senior member turned around and walked towards the rented compound. He shouted loudly outside the door: "Brother Jin, it's so hard to hide this from me! Please recommend me!"

    Not only Gao Changjiang, the Yangzhou businessman Jin Wanwan and Huichang Yinhao's plan for long-distance exchange was strongly promoted by Mingli Newspaper. In addition, the matter itself was eye-catching. It was like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, which immediately affected the officials and merchants in the capital.  And it caused great shock in the bank.  (To be continued)
