In terms of industrial management, Wu Bingjian not only owned real estate, real estate, tea gardens, shops, etc. in China, but also boldly made railway investments, securities transactions, and even got involved in insurance business in the country on the other side of the ocean, making "Yihexing" a

A veritable multinational consortium.

It's a pity that the state of the country at that time was destined to be like sheep, with power supreme; instead of being like Western countries, capital could control the direction of the country.

Therefore, the Wu family suffered heavy losses due to repeated cuts by the Qing court.

Wu Bingjian realized that something was wrong, so he took precautions and sent many of his children overseas early. While taking care of his overseas business, he also tried to increase the Wu family's ability to resist risks.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows, nothing more than this!

He really made the right move, otherwise the Wu family might really be exterminated.

How could Fang Mengyin not know what Xiang He knew. Since the Fang family was able to get up, how could the Fang family lack wisdom? Even she, the eldest lady who was indifferent to worldly affairs, knew allusions about learning from history.

As long as they are not stubborn or dandy, studying history is an indispensable lesson for family members like Fang.

It just makes Fang Mengyin sigh, what is the purpose of the Wu family who has taken root in London to find her, the head of the Fang Group?

She hadn't heard that there was any business of the Wu family in Xiangguan, maybe it was a controlling stake behind the scenes, and it was quite hidden.

Fang Mengyin thought of a possibility, which answered her question, but she suddenly thought of a strange thing. Wu Bingjian founded Yihe Bank before his death. What is the relationship between this and Yihe Matheson?

Wu Zaisheng was thirty years old and was a junior in front of Fang Mengyin. Fang Mengyin didn't hold back too much and asked the question directly.

After asking, Fang Mengyin looked at Wu Zaisheng, waiting for him to answer his questions.

Although she knew about Wu Bingjian and Yihe Bank, she did not have a deep understanding of the history of Jardine Matheson. Fang Mengyin only knew that the original name of the current Yihe Group in Xiangguan was Jardine Matheson.

But Jardine Matheson is actually owned by Ying Guoguo. What is the secret behind this?

As soon as Fang Mengyin's words came out, not only Wu Zaisheng, but also the secretary Wu Shihao who was sitting next to Wu Zaisheng put away his smile and his face sank.

Wu Zaisheng's expression was complicated. He didn't know whether he was angry, aggrieved, helpless, or a combination of all three.

Just when Fang Mengyin was about to say sorry, Wu Zaisheng said, "They are shameless thieves."

Hearing Wu Zaisheng's sharp words, Fang Mengyin raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect Wu Zaisheng's reaction to be so big. It seemed that there was indeed a secret allusion in it.

"The current Jardine Group was formerly known as Jardine Matheson & Co., but earlier it was called Chadian Matheson & Co., which was established in 1832 by William Jardine and James Matheson, both of Scottish descent.

It was established the same year that our lineage came to Eagle Country.

And in 1843, that is, the year Duke Dun Yuan passed away, my Wu family’s main line in the Qing Dynasty suffered heavy losses. Those two shameless thieves stole the name of my Wu family’s Yihe Bank and destroyed Chadian Madi.

Chen Yang & Co. was re-registered and renamed Yihe & Matheson."

Speaking of this, Wu Zaisheng's frustration grew stronger and his fists clenched unconsciously. Wu Shihao on the side also shook his head and sighed, feeling equally depressed.

"I see."

After hearing Wu Zaisheng's explanation, Fang Mengyin immediately understood that the relationship was caused by two eagle country guys who had imitated the most prestigious of the thirteen banks in Guangdong Province, Yihe Bank.

This can also understand why Wu Zaisheng's mood changed drastically.

No one can accept that the glory of their family has been stolen by outsiders. "Yihexing" is the glory of the Wu family, and it was built with hard work by the Wu family. In the end, it was stolen by foreigners because the family was oppressed by external forces and had no time to take care of itself.

.

Just with the addition of the word "foreign", it became very popular outside.

As the persecuted Wu family, one can easily imagine the frustration and anguish in their hearts.

"Then your Wu family's Yihexing is still there?" Fang Mengyin asked.

"It no longer exists. The foundation of my Wu family there has been wiped out under the pressure of the Qing court. Now there is only prosperity, not harmony." Wu Zaisheng said bitterly.

When he said the last four words "revival", his fists clenched again unconsciously.

Fang Mengyin's eyes narrowed, "Fu Sheng Xing? This name is interesting. Just from the literal meaning, you can interpret a variety of meanings. Combined with what Wu Zaisheng said about the Wu family, this name means the surname Wu family's ancestor Rong Guang."

.”

Fang Mengyin nodded slightly and did not ask, "Have you ever thought about reshaping Yihexing?" Such a silly question with a narrow vision, there was no need to ask such a question.

Fang Mengyin is very clear about how huge the current Jardine Group and the Jardine Consortium with the Jardine Group as its core are. It is the first consortium in Xiangguan and the first consortium in the Far East of Eagle Country. It has amazing energy and uses its feet.

Finger thought, and knew that the Wu family was definitely not as good as Yihe.

If the situation is not as good as human beings, what else can we do?

No matter how frustrated I am, I can only endure it. I didn’t see that the Wu family has endured it for more than a hundred years.

Fang Mengyin was already satisfied with her gossip mentality, but she still didn't know what kind of business Wu Zaisheng wanted to discuss when he invited her over.

"Ms. Fang, I am here this time to invite you to the founding ceremony of the Chinatown Business Association to be held in London on the 7th of next month. I also ask that you come."

Hearing what Wu Zaisheng said, Fang Mengyin started thinking again, "How big of a deal are you going to negotiate with me, and you want to invite me to London first? Do you want to show me the strength of the Wu family first?"

Fang Mengyin couldn't figure out for a while what kind of medicine Wu Zaisheng was selling in the gourd.

But it’s okay to go to London. I’ll talk to my eldest grandson first. Fang Mengyin made up her mind and agreed vaguely.

…

Nanyi quickly received a call from Fang Mengyin.

His idea was similar to Fang Mengyin's. He could go to London, not for the Wu family, but for the Chinatown Business Association. It would also be good to make some connections with the wealthy Chinese businessmen in Eagle Country.

Even in the ghost's investigation report and Nan Yi's own memory, the only person worthy of his attention now is Ye Ronghuan, the boss of Rong Ye Hang, but making connections does not necessarily mean clinging to high branches. Making friends downwards is also a kind of friendship.

Even if it is a piece of toilet paper, Nanyi will make it play its best role.

It's just that he has never heard of the Wu family's revival.

In my previous life, Nanyi had a business partner who established a bag brand in London. As one of the shareholders, he always flew to London several times a year, and he also had certain connections in the local Chinese circle.

Not to mention that he can achieve great things, but he is still very well-informed about gossip. He has never heard of a very powerful Wu family in London. Or is it because he was not good enough at that time?

Nan Yi thought of this.

But soon, he put this problem aside, and now he had a lot of troubles in front of him.

First of all, this cold-faced woman in the B&B has been here for two and a half days and she still hasn't left yet. The longer the delay, the greater the possibility of being exposed on the cliff.

"We can't wait any longer. The villa development plan must be advanced."

After Nanyi made up his mind, he called Masami Ueto and asked her to tell Ikeda Karikyo about the matter. Ikeda Club came over as soon as possible and bought the beach.

"President Izumi, do you know the name of the village chief?" After making the call, Nan Yi went to find Izumi Masaru.

"Of course, the village chief's name is Yaotome Miya. Most of the Scarecrow Village's surname is Yaotome. I heard that my ancestor was a very famous samurai."

"I see, then do you know who this beach belongs to?"

"This beach belongs to Yaotome Miya's private property, even the land of my B&B. I have to pay him a land use fee every year. Why does Nagao-san suddenly ask this?"

"A friend of mine wanted to find a beachside place to build several villas. He knew that I was vacationing at the beach. He just called me and asked me if it was suitable. I told him it was pretty good, and he said he wanted to come over and check it out."

"Villa?" Izumi Katsu asked in surprise: "Vacation villa?"

"Yes, not only villas, but also holiday estates. President Izumi, if he takes a fancy to this place and develops it here, your B&B business will also get better."

"I hope so."

Izumi Katsu was noncommittal, and it seemed that he didn't really care about the quality of the business.

"Ha... Just how much money you have to develop holiday villas on this beach is not enough to make a loss." Nan Yi and Izumi Sheng were talking, and the cold-faced woman happened to come downstairs to drink water. When she heard the conversation between the two, she spoke out

A stabbing sentence.

Nan Yi smiled warmly and said to the cold-faced woman: "It's just an inspection, whether we should take action or not, my friend will naturally make his own judgment."

"snort……"

The cold-faced woman made a nasal noise, poured a cup of grapefruit tea and went upstairs again.

"I have such a bad temper!"

Nan Yi cursed and did nothing further. If he hadn't read the B&B registration book and found out that this cold-faced woman's surname was Mitsui, Nan Yi would have really wanted to deal with her.

Mitsui, if it's Mitsui of the Mitsui Zaibatsu, Nanyi really can't afford to offend this behemoth in Japan. Well, even if you remove the word "in Japan", it still can't afford to offend it.

Unless he is not ready to mess around anymore and just kills the fish, then there is still a chance to take a chance.

Mitsui Bank, Mitsui Trust, Mitsui Life, Mitsui Marine Fire Insurance, Mitsui Financial Leasing, Mitsukoshi, Mitsui & Co., Mitsui Real Estate, Mitsui Construction, Mitsui Oil, Toyota Motor, Mitsui Shipbuilding, Toshiba, Fuji and so on [omitted hundreds of companies

name].

Of this long list of Mitsui boys, less than half of the Nan clan can fight one-on-one, let alone deal with the Mitsui Zaibatsu... Let’s see again in fifteen years, maybe there will be a chance.

"Mitsui Yukiko, damn, I don't know her real name or pseudonym. Who cares about her, she can't be provoked yet anyway. Not only can't be provoked, but she must also be protected. If something happens to this bitch here, who knows if she will be angered.

Talking too much brings tears to my eyes."

Rubbing his face, Nan Yi thought to himself, "My grandson, he still has to keep pretending. It's great to be a father. But if you sing high-profile, have you ever seen someone end well? You can't be careless in the world.

A fluttering bag is bound to get stabbed."

After walking out of the B&B, Nan Yi called Sayuri Hagiwara, took the fishing rod and went to sit on the reef to fish.

The whole day was spent fishing.

The next day, Mitsui Yukiko was still there, and Nanyi and Hagiwara Sayuri did not spend time here, but went to Fujisawa city.
