Chapter 42 The richest man in the future - Sheng Xuanhuai

Among Li Hongzhang's aides, a 28-year-old young man stepped forward and gave him an idea: to start Shanghai Shipping Merchants. This young man is called Sheng Xuanhuai. Sheng Xuanhuai, a native of Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, with the word Xingsheng... the name Bulou... why did he use ellipsis, because he has too many words and numbers, so many that he probably couldn't figure it out himself. In fact, he is not a wanted criminal. Why did he keep changing his name? It is very puzzling! But Sheng Xuanhuai is not bad.It is known that in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the champion of the "Nothing to change the name list all day long" should be Li Shutong, that is, the master Hongyi who wrote "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, green grass and green sky", the name he has used all his life, There are more than 200 characters and numbers, which is really strange, and I don't know what the master thinks.

Sheng Xuanhuai, after claiming to be the Ming Dynasty general Sheng Yong, was found to be true.Unlike later, there was a Japanese named Okamura Ningji, who claimed to be a descendant of Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, which was very unreliable! Speaking of Changzhou, it is really a place rich in test-takers. In the Ming and Qing dynasties alone, there were nearly 200 Jinshi.However, this blessed land did not bless Sheng Xuanhuai. He only passed the examination of scholar at the age of 22. At present, at best, he has graduated from a key high school, while ordinary people have already graduated from college at the age of 22.

Sheng Xuanhuai's performance fully explained that he is not an exam material.As expected, in the following years, he tried many times to be a Juren, all of which ended in failure.Fortunately, Sheng Xuanhuai is a sensible person, knowing that the path of "study hard and make progress every day" is not suitable for him, so he chose another path. In 1870, 26-year-old Sheng Xuanhuai left some connections to become Li Hongzhang's staff. In the eyes of others, Sheng Xuanhuai is just a young man with a lower diploma and a more energetic appearance, but Li Hongzhang's eyesight is very vicious, and he can see through the characteristics of this young man at a glance: his emotions are invisible, he is very rich, and he is worthy Useful.

In the next two years, Sheng Xuanhuai showed a different side from ordinary young people: calm and introverted, resourceful and decisive, well-rounded, and enthusiastic about career and economics. Sheng Xuanhuai started as a secretary of the military camp. In less than two years, he was promoted to prefect by Li Hongzhang when he was less than 28 years old.This is a department-level cadre from the fourth grade, equivalent to the secretary of the municipal party committee. A high school student has climbed to the position of secretary of the municipal party committee in two years. What does this mean?

This shows that they are very capable, and their background is also very strong.
