    In December 1921, the land of China has entered the last few days of the year, and the countdown to the arrival of 1922 AD has also begun.  The northern country is already covered in silver makeup, and the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River has gradually dropped to zero degrees. The last season of winter of the year has arrived a month ago.  Compared with the frigid capital city, the temperature in Siberia is even colder. The war between the east and the west naturally stopped after the cold winter came. Large-scale battles no longer occur. Except for a small number of harassment and defense, whether it is the Soviet Red Army or the Russian  The imperial government troops all tacitly agreed to start a confrontation based on their positions.

    After New Year¡¯s Day comes the Spring Festival, which is the most important festival of the year for Chinese people.  In the past few years, the weather has been good, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the people's lives are much better than in the Qing Dynasty. In particular, the country's vigorous development of industry and commerce has achieved remarkable results, and people's pockets are much bigger than in previous years. Such a good year is ten  It would have been unimaginable many years ago.  And with the prosperity of development, big cities such as Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, etc. have shown their prosperity.

    "Hey! Isn't this Mr. Jiu? I'd like to say hello to Mr. Jiu. I haven't seen you for a while. Where can you make a fortune?" I don't know when the people in the capital stopped asking "Eat" when greeting each other.  "Are you gone?" Instead, he kept saying "Gong Xi Fa Cai".  Due to the changes in social atmosphere, businessmen who used to be the last among the four people have now become the upper class. With the vigorous development of all walks of life, many people are driven to switch from farming with their backs to the sky and into business.

    ¡°No, the person who asked the question was called Na Liu. Speaking of his early years, he was considered a red belt. If we talk about it carefully, he was even close to the old Buddha who was in the palace back then.  It's just that that family has been in ruins since the end of Guangxu. Apart from a village in Baoding and dozens of acres of land in the suburbs, most of Ruoda's family has already been ruined.  Na Liu's father died.  Those six hands were allotted only a few acres of thin farmland to live on.  After the Manchu Qing Dynasty disappeared, the Lumi given to Zong by the imperial court was naturally gone. He had to guard a few people in his family, and his life in those six years was miserable.

    This red-belt descendant has no choice but to work in the fields himself. When he is free, he helps his brother-in-law pull a rickshaw on the street to earn some extra money. Otherwise, he will not be able to support his family with just a few acres of land.  But Na Liu's brain is still active.  Moreover, when the family was prosperous in the past, they had also witnessed big events. Since the government encouraged industry and commerce in the past few years and called on landlords to invest capital from land into industry, Na Liu has quietly started to think about ways to make a fortune.

    ???????????? Although Na Liu is not good at writing or martial arts, he is quite courageous.  He got some information through various twists and turns through his connections in the clan, and by virtue of his acquaintance with Jin Jiulao, he ruthlessly sold the few acres of land without telling his family, and then borrowed some money from his friends.  He went out to recruit a group of people and started a business of helping the government transport supplies.

    Speaking of which, Na Liugan's business can be regarded as a pioneer in China's modern logistics industry. Although he started from a low level, it does not require a lot of capital to engage in logistics, not to mention finding some people outside the country to build a warehouse and get some labor to move and carry it.  It's not difficult, what's more important is that Na Liu saw the opportunity right.  Thanks to the care of Jin Jiu, the Chinese government took advantage of the opportunity of the European War to transport a large amount of supplies from the Chinese government to Tsarist Russia through export and import.  In just half a year, Na Liu was completely out of poverty and became a big boss.

    Na Liuzu has been working in the logistics industry for nearly two years. In these two years, he became rich from being penniless.  After making money, in addition to spending part of it to repurchase their family's property, Na Liu invested most of their money in the cotton business.  At this time, the Chinese Expeditionary Force went to Europe to participate in the war, and the cotton business in Naliu suddenly became prosperous.  Pieces of cloth come in and out every day.  It brought him profits like running water, which made him so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

    In order to do business better, Na Liu even went to Shanghai in person, hired several technicians with high salaries, and successively built yarn mills, textile mills, and printing and dyeing factories outside the city and in the suburbs.  By the time the European War ended, Na Liu had become one of the leading industrialists in the north. He owned a total of five yarn mills, textile mills, and printing and dyeing factories, three warehouses, and six warehouses. He had hundreds of workers working for him.  It is said that his assets have already exceeded one million, so he was nicknamed "that million".

    On this day, as the New Year was approaching, Na Liu arranged things in the factory and then returned to the capital with a few followers.  His car had just entered Andingmen Street, and when he was about to check out a few shops, he caught sight of an old acquaintance. He quickly asked the driver to stop the car, and Na Liu greeted him warmly after getting out of the car.

    Hearing the greeting, a middle-aged man who was walking on the side of the street stopped, turned around and smiled.

    "Boss, that million, haha, it's been a long time no see, Yuu! The car is already on board, it seems business is booming!"

    "Master Jiu, why are you slapping me in the face? Brother, am I still in need of your care today?" Na Liu seemed a little unhappy, with a look of complaint on his face.

    "Hahaha! Lao Liu, Lao ??, you are still very eloquent.  Jin Jiu was not angry. On the contrary, he was very happy. He patted Na Liu on the shoulder and said happily: "Business is good. Look, could you have imagined today a few years ago?"  "

    "That's right! Speaking of which, I would have been at a loss to Master Jiu. If it hadn't been for Master Jiu, youI" Na Liu's nose felt a little sore as he spoke.

    "Okay, live a good life when you have it. By the way, I heard that you have hired a few German technicians in your factory? What? Are you planning to do something big again?"

    "That's not true. After several years of business, I have finally understood that doing business is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Now several big businessmen in the south have taken action again, especially those in Nanxun.  It's amazing that we invested 5 million yuan to build new factories in Shanghai, Suzhou and other places in one go. The equipment used is still the most advanced new machine. Although our north is not as good as the south, the gap cannot be too big no matter what.  Yeah, if I don't think of a way to do something, when the market is overrun by them, I can forget about the six that I have no money to make, but what about the hundreds of people who follow me to eat? Master Jiu, you have to have a conscience.  ! You can¡¯t think about yourself, right? Don¡¯t you think so?¡±

    Jin Jiu looked at Na Liu with a sincere face. He did not expect that Na Liu had indeed gained experience over the years, and his words and thoughts were very different from before.  A few years ago, I would have been unable to say these words in half a sentence.

    "You are determined! Work hard. Doing business is just like being a human being. You must first learn how to be a human being and then learn how to do a good business. If you can't even be a good person, the business will not be big. Do you think this is true? Originally, today we  We are friends, so we should get together and have a drink. But unfortunately, something happens to be inconvenient. So, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just go to my house and ask my housekeeper for help.  He brought me a letter, and as long as it doesn't violate the rules, I will always help as a brother." Jin Jiu said this sincerely, and he immediately nodded with joy.

    "Okay, it's not a problem to stand in the cold weather. You can go about your business."

    "Hey! Mr. Jiu, please go slowly" Na Liu didn't dare to force it. He stood there and looked at Jin Jiu with a smile, waved his hand at him, turned around and left to the north. At the same time, two men in black were on the left and the other.  Right followed Jin Jiu a few meters away, looking like a bodyguard.

    Watching Jin Jiu go away, Na Liu turned around and returned to his car.  When his driver saw his boss coming back, he quickly opened the door. Na Liuyi lifted the hem of his robe with one hand and lowered his head to get into the car.

    "Boss, who was that just now? Why have you been chatting with him for so long?" It seems that this driver is the cousin of the sixth wife's mother's family, and he is not an outsider. He usually works in a down-to-earth manner and is trusted by the sixth wife.  .

    "Who do you think he is?" Na Liu asked.

    "This" The driver scratched his head and thought for a while: "This person looks inconspicuous. Is he a relative of your boss? Or is he looking for you to fight in the autumn wind?"

    "Nonsense!" Na Liu cursed angrily, raised the stick in his hand and pointed in the direction Jin Jiu left: "I tell you, kid, this is your noble man, even if Liu Ye sees him,  You have to shout, Master Sheng! Do you understand? From now on, don¡¯t just look at people¡¯s clothes. The water here in Beijing is deep. Otherwise, if you accidentally get into trouble, don¡¯t blame Master Six for not warning you."

    The driver, a stupid boy, scratched his head. He couldn't understand why the famous Sixth Master would actually call a man who was dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't look like much, "Master?"  Maybe this kind of problem is too complicated for him, but one thing is certain, that is, Na Liu will never harm himself. It is always right to listen to Master Liu and do your job well. When he came out of the house, he  Isn¡¯t that what I told you?

    "I didn't care whether this stupid boy had figured it out or not, and urged him to drive back home quickly.  He accidentally ran into Jin Jiu on the street, and Na Liu's previous desire to go to the shop faded away. He knew that Jin Jiu had been away from Beijing for several years, and there might be something big happening when he suddenly came back this time.  Although Na Liu didn't know what Jin Jiu's current identity was, he heard Jiu Jin accidentally reveal a few words while drinking, and he had seen Jin Jiu's ability in the government. After so many years,  , even he became the big boss, let alone Jin Jiu.

    Na Liu is not a politician, but he is now a businessman, and a successful businessman. As a businessman, he naturally has a keen sense of business. Jin Jiu's appearance suddenly made him think of a possibility, but the specific thing was in Na Liu's head.  It was a little fuzzy for the moment, but he felt that a huge opportunity should be right in front of him. As for how to grasp it and how to figure it out, Na Liu needed to go home and find a quiet place to think about it.  (To be continued)
