    The first wealthy businessman was the Chen family, and the head of the family was called Chen Chu, who was the first person Zhang Lei was looking for.

    He is a man who is about fifty years old. Unlike most businessmen who have a fat figure with a protruding belly, Chen Chu is not only tall but also thin, with the kind of figure known as a bamboo pole.

    When Zhang Lei and Yang Yi led people to the alley in front of their house, he began to feel restless and walked around in his study, feeling very irritable. Although he didn't know that they  What do these people do? But his right eyelid has been twitching continuously since a few days ago. As the saying goes, the left eye jumps for wealth and the right eye jumps for disaster. Obviously something bad is going to happen next.  And this morning, I had a nightmare and woke up from a fright. It's almost noon now and I don't even have the slightest appetite to eat.

    After a while, there was a knock on the door from outside. He felt as if a needle had been inserted into his heart. His heartbeat suddenly felt much faster. He went straight to open the door by himself. Standing outside was the one who had followed him.  A young old man with a mustache who has been a housekeeper for decades, Chen Chu directly asked him to have the same surname as him and call him uncle.

    "Uncle, what's the matter?" Chen Chu tried to calm down his mood and asked casually.

    Uncle Chen said: "Master, the Zhang Lei you have been paying attention to came here with the prefect Yang, and they are outside now. Should we invite them in?"

    "What? Are they outside now? Our house? How many people are here?" Chen Chu asked quickly.

    Uncle Chen said: "There are a lot of people here, I'd better go out and have a look. That Zhang Lei named them and said he came to see me."

    "Oh. Okay. Now no one knows what this Zhang Lei is bringing people here to do. I didn't expect that the first family came to me. What does he want to do? Let's go, anyway, hiding is  You can't escape." Chen Chu said knowing that he would not be able to ask anything now.

    "Hey, okay, then I'll go over and arrange for them to stay in the living room. Or make some tea." Uncle Chen said.

    Chen Chu walked into his room and said, "Very good, then go outside and entertain me first. When I go in, I'll change my clothes. You'd better ask for something else, otherwise  ¡­¡±

    Uncle Chen hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I understand this. I understand, then I will go down and get ready."

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????With Yang Yi, a local official here, finding the person you're looking for is a piece of cake. No, after knowing the location of the Chen family.  Zhang Lei didn't waste a moment and led the people over here directly.

    Outside the door.  Looking at this big courtyard, the walls were so long, and they looked so majestic. Zhang Lei said to Yang Yi: "Mr. Yang, look at this, it's just like the palace. Gao Qiangliang  It's very grand. It's indeed a wealthy family. It seems that you are managing it very well, Mr. Yang."

    "Um Mr. Zhang, they are all old businesses that have been around for decades or hundreds of years. I think it is reasonable to have such achievements. In the specific situation, as a parent officer, I cannot rely on my own status.  Question, those are all people¡¯s trade secrets. I don¡¯t know what you mean by this? We are still a peaceful place here. Speaking of which, we rely more on you, Mr. Zhang. Your fleet buys coal in Datong.  , not only allowed businessmen to gain huge profits, but also gave some deterrence to those with ulterior motives." Yang Yi said quickly.

    Zhang Lei looked like he suddenly realized it and said: "Well, it turns out that it is like this. It seems that this matter has something to do with me. It seems"

    "Squeak"

    The closed door opened, and then an old man said: "My lords, this is the butler of the Chen family. Our master has ordered several adults to go to the living room to have tea. He will change into the most solemn clothes to welcome you.  , if there is any negligence, I still hope that Haihan will do it."

    The group of people walked inside while looking around. Zhang Lei couldn't help but smile and said: "Oh, it's so grand. These are big houses with many people coming in and out. It's amazing. It's really a big business."

    Everyone was not sure what he meant when he said this, and they all laughed. Uncle Chen could only apologize and said: "Ah, this, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chen is considered a prestigious person in this generation, and he can't do it in front of his peers.  I lost my face, that¡¯s why I ended up like this. The head of the family at that time almost emptied his family fortune. This issue of face, ugh"

    "Okay, okay, I don't care about this. This thing is not under my control. Don't tell me that it's useless. I'm here to find that Chen Chu. Hurry up.Call him over.  Zhang Lei frowned and said.

    Uncle Chen quickly shut up, for fear of irritating Zhang Lei, and the group came to the living room. Uncle Chen was busy preparing tea and snacks, for fear of being a little inattentive and irritating some big shots.

    Fortunately, Mr. Chen didn't keep Zhang Lei and the others waiting for too long. He had already come out after just a cup of tea. Seeing that Yang Yi and Zhang Lei were being served, a stone fell to the ground in his heart.  , stepped forward and said: "The two adults came hand in hand, the humble house is full of splendor, and the common people are Chen Chu. I am disappointed to welcome you from afar, but I hope that the two adults will forgive this sin of neglect."

    "So you are Chen Chu. It's easy to talk to. I didn't say hello to you before I came here. Okay, sit down. We have something to talk about. The prefect Yang is also here today. I  The officer has one thing to say and another to say it. If there is something wrong, you can point it out on the spot. Not only me, but even Mr. Yang, he will not be willing to wrongly accuse a successful businessman. Mr. Yang  ,dont you agree?"

    "Yes, yes, what Mr. Zhang said is that I will definitely perform my duties from a position that is consistent with my identity." Yang Yi quickly expressed his position.

    "Well, Chen Chu, the topic we are going to talk about may be more sensitive. Just let these irrelevant people want to withdraw. I am not used to being surrounded by so many people. Hey, to be honest, your family  There are so many servants, more than in my own house." Zhang Lei said with a half-smile.

    Chen Chu was stunned, and then quickly dismissed the maids and servants. Zhang Lei also asked everyone except Jiang Yuyang to go out. Only a few people were left at the scene. Zhang Lei looked at Uncle Chen and said: "  Why doesn't he go out?"

    Chen Chu said: "Chen Shu has been in our family for decades. He is my right-hand man. I will never avoid him in anything. I hope Master Zhang can understand."

    "So that's the case, and so is I." Zhang Lei pointed at Jiang Yuyang and said.

    Then Zhang Lei said: "Since that's the case, it doesn't matter. Let's get down to business. Mrs. Chen, I'm here to ask you, what do you think is the most important thing as a businessman?"

    Chen Chu never expected that Zhang Lei would suddenly ask such a question, but he still replied: "From my grandfather and father to my generation, my father still said this to me until he died.  , as a businessman, the first thing is to be honest, businessmen build the world with integrity."

    "Well, that's right. As a businessman, if you want to be bigger and stronger, the first thing you need to do is operate with integrity. Make your customers feel that the goods you sell to them are worth the price. Only then will they take care of your business and you can make money.  . But this is just a general level. There are also deeper levels. I wonder if you have ever considered it? As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, which means that the money you earn must be earned legitimately.  , If it is not obtained legitimately, then it is not a businessman who conforms to professional ethics, do you think I am right?" Zhang Lei said.

    Chen Chu was completely confused by Zhang Lei's words, but he still said: "Yes, yes, Master Zhang said that it is really like an enlightenment for the common people, but the common people are stupid and don't understand what you are saying.  mean."

    Zhang Lei said: "You still don't understand what I mean? A gentleman loves money and gets it in a right way. Tell me, who in the world doesn't love money? Don't you think so? But you must also have a right to love money.  There is a way, if you do anything for money, it is tantamount to being crazy, do you think I am right?"

    "" Cold sweat suddenly began to break out on Chen Chu's forehead, and then he said: "The Chen family has always believed in establishing the world with integrity and has never dared to exceed it."

    Zhang Lei directly threw the evidence and information about Chen Chu's stealing of military factory information and transactions with foreign people on the table, and said: "If you really dare not go overboard, then I don't have to come all the way here.  Come on, take a look at this, you should know what¡¯s going on.¡±

    Uncle Chen quickly took the things and handed them to Chen Chu. Chen Chu was shocked when he saw them and couldn't help but said, "Where did you get these things from?"

    Seeing his reaction, Zhang Lei knew that this was definitely true, so he smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about where I got these things. Since I can get them, then I can get them."  channel, now you only need to say whether these things are true or false, that is enough. You see, the prefect is here now. If it is false, it means that someone is spreading rumors, right?  ?Then we will all seek justice for you. And if it is true, then the matter will be much simpler. You are suspected of selling our country's advanced technology to other countries at a large price. Do you know what the crime is????  Collaborating with the enemy and treason, you want to kill the nine tribes.  You said it's not worth taking such a big risk just to make some dirty money" To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
