    Shanghai Port.  Chen Zaixing stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the dock that was slowly approaching in the thick fog. He couldn't remember how many times he had been to the largest city in the Far East, but no matter which time he had been, he had never been as depressed as this time.  , anxious about the future.  The reason is simple. Not long ago, a draft drawn by Shunhua Branch in Shanghai was refused by Houde Bank.  As a successful businessman, Chen Zaixing knew what this meant. Most of the lucrative businesses operated by Shunhua Company relied on the vast domestic market of Dashun. If Houde controlled the entire South China financial market,  The harm caused by the bank's refusal to pay can be imagined.  The reason why all this happened is simple. In May of that year, in order to fill the funding gap caused by the construction of the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway, Chen Zaixing asked the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom of Myanmar to suspend the payment of compensation loans to the Shanghai Banking Group for two months.  Chen Zaixing quickly made up for the money through various means and sent a telegram to apologize to Liu Qingyang, but it still happened.  This was also the reason why he had to rush to Shanghai in person, although deep down in his heart, he did not want to leave Mandalay at this time.  ¡°Sir, please put on some more clothes, it¡¯s too windy outside!¡± Guard Captain Oba said in a voice that didn¡¯t match his burly body.  "Yeah!" Chen Zaixing nodded and took the coat.  Suddenly, he looked back at Oba and whispered: "Oba, if I remember correctly, you haven't been back to your hometown for many years, right? After this matter is over, go home and have a look.  "Thank you for your kindness. But you have forgotten that we are a group of deserters in our hometown. We will only cause trouble to our families!" "That was a few years ago!"  , No problem!" Chen Zaixing said with a smile: "After this trip, go back to Punjab. I remember that you have two younger brothers. I will give you fifty pounds to buy some gifts for them and your parents!  "Thank you, sir. Thank you very much, really!" Oba awkwardly searched for the words to express his gratitude. He usually hid his feelings under his big beard and dark face.  The big man is not that good at expressing his feelings in words.  Chen Zaixing smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's nothing, you deserve this!" Through this exchange with his guard captain, he felt a little warmth in his heart and his sadness was reduced a lot.  "Sir!" Jiang Zhiqing stood at the foot of the escalator and asked diligently: "The carriage is just outside. Would you like to go to the company to have a rest first or go to Houde Bank immediately?" "Go to Houde Bank. You are in the car."  Please report the specific situation to me. I'm in Shanghai on a tight schedule this time and can't stay too long!" "Yes, sir!" Jiang Zhiqing didn't ask any more questions. He carefully helped Chen Zaixing into the carriage and asked the guard captain Oba.  He took the seat next to the coachman and then boarded the carriage.  Other members of Chen Zaixing's entourage boarded another carriage behind them.  The group of people walked in the direction of Houde Bank.  On the carriage, Chen Zaixing closed his eyes slightly and asked: "Zhiqing, can you first tell me about the situation in Shanghai during this period?" "Yes, sir, considerable municipal power in Shanghai has actually been vested in the city council.  bureau, and almost all the directors of the Advisory Bureau are prominent businessmen in Shanghai, so the Liu family and his son have considerable power in the municipal affairs. Last time I raised the matter of issuing bonds on your behalf with him, he replied that now the court also has.  We need to issue bonds to build the Northeast Railway, and the market position is very tight, so our interest rates are going to go up -" "Zhiqing, I won't tell you what I know, keep it short!" Chen Zaixing interrupted Jiang Zhiqing, and Jiang Zhiqing hurriedly  Said: "But later I heard that the imperial court did not actually want to issue bonds to build the railway. It seemed that it wanted to issue new taxes and let each province raise funds on its own to solve the funding problem. If we were not deceived, Houde Bank should have wanted to deceive us at that time.  "The local government raises funds on its own?" Chen Zaixing suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "What's going on? Please tell me in detail!"  The rest may be paid in cash or from the land. How about I collect the newspaper later and send it to you tomorrow?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Chen Zaixing nodded: ¡°We need to hurry up on this matter!¡±  !¡± Houde Bank, Waiting Room ¡°Mr. Chen, please wait here for a moment. Mr. Liu is meeting an important guest!¡± A well-dressed clerk said to Chen Zaixing with a smile: ¡°If you need anything,  You can ring the bell here and someone will come in right away to take your orders! " "Thank you, I don't need anything now!" Chen Zaixing nodded, and the clerk left.  Only Jiang Zhiqing and Chen Zai were left in the house.?, two people.  Jiang Zhiqing sneered: "It's such a big deal. 'I'm meeting an important guest.' Mr. Liu's dignity has increased!" "Zhiqing, don't say such useless words!" Chen Zaixing's face was so calm that no one could see it.  It was unclear what he was thinking: "We are here to do business this time, and we have to do things well as the first priority!" "Yes, sir!" Jiang Zhiqing hurriedly lowered his head and said yes. He knew in his heart that although Chen Zaixing's face was  He didn't show anything, and I'm afraid he already had a knot in his heart. As his master, he was in danger, so he had better be careful when speaking, so as not to get into trouble.  After about twenty minutes, the clerk just walked in, smiled and extended his hand to invite you: "Mr. Chen, please, Mr. Liu is waiting for you in the office!" Chen Zaixing nodded and walked out of the guest room, which was similar to the guest room.  Liu Qingyang's office was separated by a corridor. When Chen Zaixing went out, he happened to see a white man with gray hair walking around the corner of the corridor.  Chen Zaixing frowned slightly. The clerk had opened the office door for him and he walked in.  "Fu Sheng, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Is everything okay?" Liu Qingyang stood up from the executive chair, came over to greet him, reached out to hold Chen Zaixing's hands, and whispered: "I know about my brothers and sisters. I'm sorry.  "Come on!" Seeing Liu Qingyang like this, Chen Zaixing couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he still controlled his emotions: "Thank you, Brother Liu. Hey, if I know what I am doing, I will definitely be very grateful!" "Hey!  "Liu Qingyang asked Chen Zaixing to sit down on the sofa and sighed: "I also visited Her Majesty the Eldest Princess several times when I was in Myanmar. She was a beautiful woman and a heroine. Brother Fusheng, you are a match made in heaven, but I didn't expect that it would never be a holiday.  , The voice and smile are so vivid before my eyes, but now the person is separated from the yin and the yang, what a trick of fate!" At this point, Liu Qingyang paused and asked in a low voice: "Fusheng, is it convenient for you to come to Shanghai this time?  There won't be any problems if I leave you there, right?" When Chen Zaixing heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, knowing that Liu Qingyang was touching his bottom. It seemed that the tenderness the other party expressed just now was just to induce him to relax his guard.  It's just a little trick that will make it easier to sneak in next time. Thinking of this, Chen Zaixing's eyes turned cold, but he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Luo Lin is gone, and Luo Qin is here. Besides, I just punished him a few months ago."  A few ignorant traitors, I believe that there will be no more ignorant people in the kingdom in a short time. "Since Brother Fusheng said so, there is no problem!" Liu Qingyang laughed, but he  Although his laughter was loud, for some reason it didn't sound joyful at all.  "Hypocritical!" Chen Zaixing cursed in his heart, and then said straight to the point: "Qingyang, I won't beat around the bush anymore. I came to Shanghai this time just to deal with the dishonored check of Shunhua Company. Tell me, what should I do?  Only then can we solve this matter!" "Brother Fusheng, this matter makes me very embarrassed!" A look of embarrassment appeared on Liu Qingyang's face: "According to the relationship between you and me, there will be no problem, but this is all because of Myanmar.  The Kingdom delayed the payment of the Shanghai Bank Syndicate Loan, so several old people on the board of directors had to pay penalty interest in accordance with the rules. It took a lot of effort for me to convince them to just press the check.  Being able to sit in his position makes a big difference in the weight of his words. Houde Bank is not my only one, Liu Qingyang. How about this? In a few months, I will mention it to the board of directors? " " Qing.  Yang, you should know that this is the most tense time for both the Kingdom and the Burma Railway. I can't leave easily. You also have shares over there. Please tell me how to resume paying checks. Please tell me.  Hearing what Chen Zaixing said, Liu Qingyang laughed: "Fusheng, you should know that what we care about most when opening a bank is reputation. Everyone knows that the Kingdom of Myanmar belongs to your family, Chen Fusheng."  If you delay the payment, the stick will only hit you, Chen Fusheng! It is not impossible to pay the check, but there is a condition. You must have a reputable person to guarantee Shunhua Company in case of risk.  We can also recover some losses. After all, your Shunhua company has guns and cannons, and most of its assets are in Myanmar. If you refuse to repay the loan, won¡¯t we, the cashier bosses, all have to jump into the river? " Liu Qingyang showed his trump card?  , Chen Zaixing said nothing.  According to the practice of the banking industry, there are not many companies or individuals qualified to guarantee this kind of guarantee. In order to obtain this kind of guarantee, Shunhua Company must pay a considerable price, such as large sums of funds and regular reports on the other party's own company's operations.  The situation will wait, the guarantee will be canceled if there is any news. To put it simply, there is a noose tied around Chen Zaixing's neck, and when the noose will be tightened, it depends entirely on other people's wishes.  "If I agree to this condition??Who can provide this kind of guarantee in Shanghai?  " Chen Zaixing asked in a low voice. "It's all on this piece of paper!  "Liu Qingyang picked up a piece of white paper from the table and handed it over. Chen Zaixing saw a few names of people and companies written on it. It was obvious that the other party had been prepared for it.
