"Oh my god," Huang Yongyu quickly recalled: "Fortunately, we didn't talk about any nonsense."

"People from the tourism bureau," Wang Shixiang asked curiously, "are they still in charge of building hotels?"

"It should be more than just him," Jiang Shan thought for a while: "I heard from Director Lu that it seems that more than 10 departments need to sign.

It’s probably because the managers of these buildings were hired by Director Lu, so he came to handle the details.”

"He brought all the investors here?" Hearing Zhu Jiashu's words, he knew that he had seen the world: "It seems that this director is not simple."

Yu Sigui, who was serving as the empress of Jiangshan, made great achievements: "I heard from Jiangshan that this director once opened a bank."

Jiang Shan corrected him: "It's a commercial bank, not a bank."

"Underground workers, right?" Zhu Jiaxin expressed his understanding: "There were not a few cadres like this in the past."

Wang Shixiang held a small chisel and banged it: "In addition to opening a business, there are also bookstores, pharmacies, and dance halls. There are so many."

"By the way," Huang Yongyu stopped the carving knife in his hand: "There are also people who make movies."

Jiang Shan: "However, this Director Lu is not an ordinary trading firm?"

Zhu Jiaxin: "How unusual is it?"

“Have you ever heard of Guanghua Bank?”

"What?"

The three veterans in the room all raised their voices.

Zhu Jiaxin: "The Lu Ju you are talking about is..."

Wang Shixiang: "Lu Xuzhang?"

Huang Yongyu: "He went to the tourism bureau again?"

"What?" Looking at the posture, Jiang Shan and Yu Sigui both stopped painting: "You know him."

"do not know."

"How can we know him?"

"Although we don't know him, we still know his name."

After experiencing a series of national salvation campaigns to rescue refugees, rescue the wounded, and collect donations for battlefields.

Lu Xuzhang strongly realized that in addition to will and belief, revolution also cannot do without strong economic backing.

That night, the lights in Huang Yongyu's study were brighter than before.

The wife, who was wearing a sweater, gently put down the two pots of hot water, closed the door and left.

After there was a loud banging sound, several people in the room held a cup of Nescafe coffee brought by Yu Sigui.

Stirring the world in a porcelain jar, he continued:

"To this end, Lu Xuzhang and several progressive young people raised 150 yuan in French currency and established a western medicine trading house. This was the original Guangdong Hua Bank."

After hearing the amount raised, both Wang Shixiang and Zhu Jiaxin felt that they had missed some good opportunities.

"In 1937, the Anti-Japanese War broke out in full force," Jiang Shan said:

"Lu Xuzhang participated in the anti-Japanese national salvation cadre training course organized by the Shanghai National Salvation Association.

This training class is directly led by Shanghai’s underground party organization.

Thanks to the organization's teaching in accordance with his aptitude, Lu Xuzhang took on the task of raising funds for the party organization after graduating from the training class.

Since then, Guangda Hua Bank has become an important stronghold of our party’s hidden front.”

After that, Lu Xuzhang, who was very motivated, traveled to various places to expand his business.

Give full play to the business talents of "Zhejiang merchants".

The business has developed to Kunming, Guiyang, Chengdu, and Xi'an.

The business field involves Western medicine, medical equipment, transportation and other businesses.

In any industry that is hugely profitable, as long as it does not harm the natural environment, you can see the presence of the vast number of Chinese banks.

"In that business, several senior officials in the Kuomintang are trying to win over Fang."

Jiang Shandao: "Even the evidence for reporting Lu Xuzhang's conspiracy has been piled high.

Chen Lifu, the leader of the Central Unification Committee, not only chose to turn a blind eye, but also attended the opening ceremony of Guangdong Huahang's new company despite being ill."

Wang Shixiang nodded with fresh memories: "At that time, Lu Xuzhang was definitely a prosperous business tycoon in Shanghai."

In order not to expose himself, Lu Xuzhang insisted on the chaebol style and could not see any flaws.

Even his friends and lovers are scolding him for being mercenary.

But Lu Xuzhang knows very well that a large amount of funds for the war ahead are waiting for them to transport them."

After 11 years of underground work, Guangdong Hua Bank, which started with 150 yuan, has raised more than 4 million US dollars for the organization.

In that era, this amount brought tremendous energy to fight against aggression and liberate China.

"No wonder it has attracted a lot of investors," Zhu Jiaxin said with emotion: "It turns out he is Lu Xuzhang."

"In that case," Wang Shixiang said, "what he is doing now is still raising funds for the country!"

"Actually, you are the same,"

Jiang Shan said seriously: "With the work you did tonight, it won't be long before you become a money-making machine for the country."

Wang Shixiang: "That's it?"

Huang Yongyu: "Just this piece of wood?"

Looking at the carpentry work in their hands, Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang were stunned for a moment.

"Just watch it, you two," Jiang Shan said firmly, "I firmly believe that our Mr. Lu, who is quite business-savvy, will never let go of such a simple way to make money."

After hearing this, the two old comrades lowered their heads and looked at the wooden blocks in their hands, as if they were looking at a template for printing money.

The next second, the two of them immediately started carving with great enthusiasm.

At this moment, Zhu Jiasu, who was walking around, had already begun to roll up his sleeves: "Xiao Jiang, assign me a task too!"

…

At noon on the second day, the bright spring scenery was infinitely beautiful.

The Tingli Pavilion, located in the Summer Palace, also has the appearance of a royal garden.

At this moment, Jiang Shan and Jiang He were holding their two children and gathering around a fish pond in the Oriole Hall to catch fish.

Lu Xuzhang, who was standing with several old comrades, looked happily at Xiaoyu and Xiaobai who were laughing excitedly.

"Catch the one you like," Lu Xuzhang said, "so that the kitchen can do more tricks."

Then, he introduced to Shen Congwen beside him: "The fish in this pond are caught every day from Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace."

"No wonder he's so alive and kicking," Shen Congwen said, "I feel energetic just by looking at him."

"This method was thought up by our tourism bureau," Lu Xuzhang said with a smile: "Foreigners like this trick. The more they make, the happier we are."

Listening to the conversation on the side, Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang looked at each other.

They all expressed considerable understanding.

Finally, after catching four carp, Xiaoyu and Xiaobai reluctantly left the fish pond.

At this moment, a table of people sitting on the stage of Tingli Hall were listening to Bureau Lu's opening remarks.

"Originally," Director Lu pointed to the private room in the red window opposite: "That's the restaurant I booked for you."

"Because there were too many people ordering food," Director Lu pointed to a table of people in the yard: "We moved there again."

"In the end," Director Lu knocked on the table and said with a smile, "I just let them set up a table on the stage..."

Wang Fulin immediately said: "It's so nice, it's quiet and no one disturbs me."

Jiang Shan also smiled and said: "It's thanks to your blessing, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to sit here."

The place chosen by Lu Xuzhang for Jiang Shan and his entourage was actually the fixed place where Cixi ate.

Across a small garden is a stage.

But this time, Jiangshan and the others went in the opposite direction and sat on the stage.

Not long after we sat down, two plates of fish were brought to the table.

"You're welcome," landlord Lu Xuzhang pointed at the plate and said, "Hurry up and eat it alive."

At this moment, the Kunming Lake carp, which had been fried and poured with juice, was lying on the plate, still opening and closing, cursing.

Comrade Jiang Shan couldn't bear it, but couldn't help but stretched out his chopsticks.

One bite and your mouth is full of fish flavor.

Not to mention how fresh it is!

Fortunately, we were able to win two sets, and even one person with such a physique could defeat one set!
