"Master Fang, this is Master Jin Jiu."

In the private room of the teahouse, on Wednesday, a man was brought in. This man was a down-and-out boy from the Eight Banners at first sight. The blue gown on his body seemed to be of good material, but it was a little pale after washing. He held a bird cage in his hand. Walk around and look like a person who is upside down.

"Jiuye, I'm tired of you. Please sit down." Following the custom, he stood up, stretched his arms forward, and arched his hands. Fang Zida greeted him very politely, and specially called his son to serve Jin Jiu a pot. Serve melon slices and a few plates of delicate dim sum.

Looking at the fragrant melon slices and tempting snacks in front of him, Jin Jiu couldn't help swallowing quietly, but he put on airs and nodded slightly, hung up the birdcage first and then sat down unhurriedly. Picked up the teacup.

"It's really good tea!" After taking a sip of tea, Jin Jiu praised, put down the teacup and sighed: "I think back then my family was also a relative of the emperor, and I used to drink this kind of good tea when I was young, but now these days... hey... .”

"Master Jiu, there is a saying that feng shui turns around. In 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, I think you will revive the family business in the future, Master Jiu." Fang Zida is a businessman. Although he really looked down on this kind of prodigal son in his heart, he said it very beautifully, and there was even more sincerity on his face.

Jin Jiu was greatly moved by these words, and immediately had a good impression of Fang Zida, and couldn't help but start bragging about how his family got up in the past.Fang Zida was not in a hurry, he sat and listened patiently, interjecting a few questions from time to time, which made Jin Jiu elated and elated.

After the tea was changed, Fang Zida changed the topic to the house.Jin Jiu, who was talking about being excited, readily agreed, and even offered to say that he would give up the price by one hundred to save face among friends.Fang Zida was secretly amused by Jin Jiu's swollen face and pretending to be a fat man, so he quickly waved his hand and refused, and still made the deal at the originally negotiated price.

"I heard that Master Jiu has friendship with Yang Xizi and Xia Gengfu?" Fang Zida asked casually after finishing the transaction.

"That is! In the 29th year of Guangxu, Yang Xizi entered Beijing for scientific research and was involved in the Kangliang incident. If my uncle hadn't helped him, his bones would have turned to ashes. As for Xia Gengfu, he It was my uncle who rescued my father because of his outstanding literary talents, so the court only dismissed him from his post..."

When Jin Jiu heard that Fang Zida mentioned these two people, he immediately laughed and raised his eyebrows to speak.Perhaps his words were a bit exaggerated, but these days Fang Zida has already figured out Jin Jiu's background through Wednesday's son. These things were more or less related to Jin Jiu's family. Although not as good as Qing Wang and his ilk, they are still close to Lafayette.As for now, Jin Jiu's uncle has passed away long ago, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has long since disappeared. The prodigal Jin Jiu and his brothers have divided the family and then sat on the mountain, and their lives are getting worse day by day.

But these don't matter, the key is that Jin Jiu has a relationship with Yang Du and Xia Shoutian, and this alone is enough for Fang Zida.Otherwise, Fang Zida would not have bought Jin Jiu's house on purpose. You must know that there are many dilapidated Eight Banners in Beijing now, and it is better than Jin Jiu's house. Besides, Fang Zida deliberately lowered his attitude and bought it at the original price. , in order to pull the upper-level relationship.

Yang Du, this person, Fang Zida, still knows something. In history, this guy is a legendary figure. He has been a scholar, participated in the public transportation, and was a fourth-rank official in the Qing Dynasty. He was a good friend, and was classmates with Wang Jingwei, Qi Baishi, Cai E, etc. He encouraged Yuan Shikai to proclaim himself emperor, and also agreed with Sun Wen's republic. During the Northern Expedition, he said that Lao Mao could win the world and saved Li Dazhao. He was Du Yuesheng's master and had entered Buddhism. And kmt, what's even more bizarre is that cp was added at the end....

This person's experience is so legendary, which is rare in Chinese history.Now he is one of Yuan Shikai's important think tanks and is regarded as his right-hand man.As for Xia Shoutian, the internal historian of the current Presidential Palace, that is, Yuan Shikai's secretary, is even more highly regarded by Yuan Shikai. Many government orders of the Presidential Palace are issued through him, and he can be said to be a hard-core confidant.

With Fang Zida's current status, it is actually not difficult to get to know these two people, but he has his own ideas.Regardless of Yuan Shikai's success in collaborating with Nanfang, and Song Jiaoren's arrival in Beijing, the conflict between the two parties still exists, and no one knows how the future will go.Taking a slanted sword and placing more chess pieces is a common trick in the business world, and it is also suitable for politics.If you make a good deal with Jin Jiu today, you might be able to use it that day, and you can't lose money on this deal.

After breaking up with Jin Jiu, Fang Zida went straight back to the Liuguo Hotel. Just after entering the gate, Wednesday'er, who came back early, greeted him and quietly told Fang Zida that his guests had arrived.

"You take the guests to my room in 10 minutes." Nodding slightly, Fang Zida went up the stairs alone.

The door knocked on time, and when the door was opened, a gray-haired foreign old man in his fifties appeared in front of Fang Zida.

"Marcos, what do you want to drink?" Fang Zida closed the door casually, and walked towards the wine cabinet in the living room.

"Brandy, thank you!" Marcos walked into the room quickly, took off his hat and coat, looked left and right at the suite Zi checked into, and nodded in praise: "This place is not bad, it is comparable to luxury hotels in Europe gone."

"Of course, this is the best restaurant in China, except for Shanghai." Fang Zida walked towards him with two glasses of brandy, handed him a glass and said with a smile.

"Thank you." After taking the wine and sitting down, Marcos asked with a smile, "Fang, I heard that you joined China's largest party right after you returned to China, and even served as an advisor to the party leader?"

"Not a consultant, but a personal assistant!" Fang Zida corrected with a smile, and at the same time asked back: "Didn't you just arrive in China? The news is well-informed!"

"If you want your dreams to come true, sleep less and pay more attention." Marcos smiled slyly, raised the cup in his hand and gestured to Fang Zida: "Everything can be understood with snacks, what do you think?"

"Hahaha!" Fang Zida laughed and raised his wine glass, touching him lightly.

Marcos is a German Jew and Fang Zida's business partner.Two years ago, Fang Zida was inexplicably wandering in Europe, and the first person he met was Marcos.Speaking of Marcos, he once owned a moderate property and a happy family. Unfortunately, he made a wrong judgment in a financial investment, and Marcos fell from heaven to hell overnight, heavily in debt and penniless.Just when he lost confidence in the future and was sadly preparing to end his life on the banks of the Danube, Fang Zida suddenly appeared, like an angel sent by God to save him.All in all, it was Fang Zida who saved the failed businessman and changed his fate ever since.

In the past two years, relying on Marcos' rich experience in the business world, Fang Zida's keen business sense and genius-like mind, the company not only got out of the predicament, but also thrived. Its assets soon surpassed what Marcos had ever had before. With all the money earned, and the company is still expanding rapidly, its branches have gradually extended to several other European countries.

These are the changes brought about by Fang Zida's appearance. From the bottom of his heart, Marcos is extremely grateful to Fang Zida, and the two have become best friends and partners.

"I didn't expect such a big change from the original plan when I returned to China this time." Turning the wine glass in his hand, Fang Zida sighed: "You should know about my situation, so our original plan should be changed accordingly. For a moment, meddling in Chinese politics is now inevitable, and you should understand."

"Of course!" Marcos nodded in agreement, lit a cigarette and smoked: "But this is not a bad thing, is it? We Jews have a saying 'save one person, you save the whole world', in your current situation Not too bad for us."
