Chapter 5 Chapter 3 I have to accept the presidential seal

du8.com copyright Acting Prime Minister Gao Lingwei retrieved 15 presidential seals from the French Hospital in Dongjiaomin Lane, held them in his hands, and thought to himself: "Cao Zhongshan asked me to get the seals, but she didn't tell me who to take out the seals for? The big seals are for fun. Art is a precious thing, and it cannot be separated from the Lord for even a minute. What is it in my hands? I can’t take it. I don’t even want to keep it. I have to hand it over to Cao Zhongshan.” Gao Lingwei drove to the Gyeonggi Garrison Headquarters. When he saw Cao Kun, he first expressed "congratulations" and then put down the big seal, saying, "Shan Shuai, all the president's big seals are here, a total of fifteen. Take a look."

Cao Kun stroked his short mustache, with a happy face, stretched out his hands, and wanted to take over the president's seal—for these prints, he had dreamed for many days.How much he wants to possess it! It is a shining golden thing, a symbol of supreme power, a symbol of a king and a landowner! With it in his hand, everyone in the world belongs to him, and all men and women in the country are subject to him. "My Cao family finally has this day!" However, he withdrew his hand again—he realized that the big seal obtained in such a way was worthless and powerless. "Who gave it the power? Who admits that it will be named Cao from now on? How many people will come out to protect it?" Cao Kun shivered coldly, took half a step back involuntarily, and said hesitantly: " This... this... 99 When Gao Lingwei saw Cao Kun retracting his hand, he was startled: "Why? Don't you want it?" He immediately felt the seriousness of the problem—Cao Laosan wanted to shirk the responsibility of seizing the big position? Gao Lingwei is well aware of China's benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, propriety, righteousness and shame. "The greatest crime in the world is killing the king! The president's seal is what I want to come, so I killed the king! Although the king was not destroyed, he was driven out up. "Gao Lingwei knows Cao Kun, and knows that he is a character who wants to be a whore and wants to set up an archway." If one day he puts the responsibility on me, wouldn't I become a sinner through the ages?! I can't be fooled by him, Sei He also had to give him the presidential seal. "Thinking so, he said sincerely: "Shan Shuai, you can accept these big seals, sooner or later they will be yours.Uncle Xiao and the others finally came after putting in so much effort, and it's not appropriate to put it outside, so you'd better accept it. "Speaking, he held the big seal in front of Cao Kun again.

Cao Kun is still frowning and shrinking his hands—there is only one "lord" in China, just like there is only one sun in the sky.Li Yuanhong was voted by members of the National Assembly to be the lord of the country. He was in power for one day, and his surname was Li, and Da Yin, who represented the power of the lord, was also surnamed Li.What is next for the surnamed Cao? When Wang Chengbin went to Tianjin, Cao Kun had confessed, "Be sure to let Li Huangpi announce his resignation!" However, apart from the forced seal, there was no good news of "Huangpi's resignation" from Tianjin.For this matter, Cao Kun is anxious.He was anxious about one thing, and came to accept the printing, so he couldn't help hesitating.

——Wang Chengbin did not neglect Cao Kun's explanation, but the matter has not been done yet. After Li Yuanhong ordered someone to call Beijing to hand over the seal, news of the hand over seal came from Beijing again, and he thought he would be free.So, he said to Wang Chengbin: "Governor Xiaobo, let me go. I still have things to do." Wang Chengbin sneered, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and handed it to Li Yuanhong respectfully. "Your Excellency Song Qing, please take a look at this." He didn't call him "President, oh, but just his nickname. Li Yuanhong took the paper and looked at it. The first line of big characters on the paper was "President's Resignation Letter".Li Yuanhong was surprised: "Resign? How do I resign?" He didn't want to resign, he wanted to continue to be the president.He didn't do anything when he was the first president, and he left a bad impression on the people of the country; this time, he wants to do something when he is the president, and strive to build a glorious image for himself in the hearts of the people of the country, and redeem the first time he was the president. bad influence.He has not yet deployed it, has not yet implemented the political platform with his own reason. "Wouldn't it be more embarrassing for me to resign now than when I was president last time!" He got angry, and he stood up, wanting to curse at Wang Chengbin and even slap him twice.However, just outside the waiting room, the group of soldiers with live ammunition were all Wang Chengbin's men! Based on this, Li Yuanhong already felt short of breath, unable to vent his anger, let alone yelling at him.I had no choice but to swallow the anger welling up in my chest, and said in a calm tone: "Governor Wang, I'm afraid it's not up to you and me to decide whether the president resigns or not. It should be decided by the Congress. Should we A special congress was held recently. If the congress passes a resolution, I must resign, and I will naturally hand in my resignation letter. How do you think?"

Wang Chengbin sneered, and said, "You are talking about normal times. In normal times, it is natural to go through Congress to decide whether the president will stay or not. Now is a special period, so that's another matter." "What special period?" Li Yuanhong didn't understand what was special right now: "The inside and outside are peaceful, there is nothing special." "You guessed wrong." Wang Chengbin's tone was a bit aggressive. "Soldiers are the foundation of the country. Soldiers have not been paid for several months, and the government they are loyal to has abandoned them, and they have turned against them. There are endless military remonstrance incidents in Chinese history. What are the results? I think your Excellency is I know. Today, just asking you to resign, can be called the utmost benevolence and righteousness of today's soldiers. If you don't even want to resign, what will happen to the consequences? I'm afraid it's not up to you and me. Where do you go? I still hope you Act with caution."

du8.com copyright Li Yuanhong was limp and paralyzed, like a ball with a hole in it, he shrank on the seat in an instant.Finally, he stood up exhausted, and with trembling hands, wrote his name on the resignation letter: Li Yuanhong. When Cao Kun was anxious about receiving the print, Wang Chengbin called from Tianjin. "Report Shan Shuai, great news!" Cao Kun couldn't wait to ask: Zha Jue said, what good news?" "Huang Pi signed the 'Presidential Resignation Letter'!" "He promised to go down?" "Yes!" "Signed?" "Signed!" "No strings attached?"

"If we don't impose conditions on him, it will be considered cheap for him." Wang Chengbin said excitedly: "How dare he ask us for conditions." "Okay, immediately publish the President's resignation letter to the whole of China and the world by express in Tianjin!" Cao Kun was excited, and the faint cloud on his face disappeared, his eyebrows opened, his eyes became brighter, and his demeanor became lighter.He smiled and said to Acting Prime Minister Gao Lingwei: "Since you all said that I should accept the president's seal, then I will accept it. However, I just keep it temporarily. After the new president is elected, I will naturally give it to you at any time. Hand it over."

Gao Lingwei laughed secretly in his heart: "Cao San is not a fool, he is very treacherous. In the future, you will never press the president to others like this today. What do you think? No one knows Sima Zhao's heart! It is still there today. It's really cunning to cover in front of us." Thinking this way in his heart, he still said smoothly: "Shan Shuai should accept the seal. Apart from you, there is no second person in the world who is qualified for this. As for the future, Let's talk about it then." After Gao Lingwei handed over the presidential seal, he resigned.

Cao Kun closed the door of the living room, carried the presidential seal to the window, took advantage of the scorching sun, and carefully looked at it—he was excited, fifteen of the most sacred seals shining with golden light were placed in front of him, what would he like to touch? He can touch whichever one he wants, and he can cover it on any paper he wants. What a sacred and noble thing this is! The shape, that color, that word, that... He was a little bit forgetful.He gathered them together, held them up with the red silk, held them up, held them in front of his face, and held them to his lips; he lowered his head slightly, and kissed them one by one with his mouth with a mustache...

——This is the fifteen seals engraved entirely in pure gold representing the supreme power of the Republic of China handled by Yuan Shikai.At the beginning, when Yuan Shikai became the interim president, he had solemnly asked the Empress Dowager Longyu of the Qing Dynasty for the Imperial Jade Seal, which he knew was a symbol of totalitarianism.However, Longyu told him, "The jade seal has been lost since the Yuan Dynasty. Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, no one even saw the jade seal in the Ming Dynasty." Yuan Shikai had no choice but to make a gold seal. Holy, a symbol of totalitarianism.Apart from Yuan Shikai, the only ones who really held it in their arms were Li Yuanhong, Feng Guozhang, and Xu Shichang.How could such a precious thing be in the hands of Cao San, the idiot, that would make him excited! He kissed and kissed, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his face involuntarily.He swore to himself: "I must have it, make it mine..."

Cao Kun hugged Bao Dayin tightly. The President announced his resignation, and all the presidential documents were handed over. After being excited for a while, Cao Kun, who was dreaming of being a president, finally calmed down.This calm, but he panicked: ——The fact that the former president has resigned does not mean that Bao Ji will become the president; ——Once I got the Great Seal, I have no right to use it; ——I am close to the position of the President, but it is not an easy task to go up; ——Also: can money be used to buy MPs? , Panic.He was bored in a house, ignoring the hard-won presidential seal, thinking about a series of anxious questions.In the end, he found Wang Huaiqing and Feng Yuxiang—the only two of his capable generals were by his side. Wu Peifu had already returned to Luoyang and was not interested in Cao’s idea of ​​becoming president; The matter of Li Yuanhong; there are a few others who are now in Baoding.Therefore, he had to rely on Wang Huaiqing and Feng Yuxiang.In Beijing, Wang Huaiqing is considered a hot figure - the commander of the Gyeonggi garrison, the safety and security of the people in the city, key officials of the central government, celebrities from all walks of life, etc., are all tied to him.He is also the backbone of the direct line, Cao Kun's confidant, and of course he is tied to Cao Kun's belt.Wang Huaiqing came to Cao Kun and stood aside respectfully, listening to Cao Kun's will. Feng Yuxiang is a relatively complicated character. When Yuan Shikai formed the Beiyang New Army, He defected to Yuan Shikai from the veteran Huai army.Later, he became a general under Duan Qirui, an Anhui warlord.At that time, he really wanted to wrap his corpse in horse leather and pour out his blood for his motherland! However, for some reason, he was incompatible with Xu Shuzheng, Duan Qirui's "little fan military adviser"! The Army Department in charge of Xu Shuzheng not only His military salary was withheld, and his mixed brigade was reorganized, and he wanted to be exiled to the frontier.In a rage, Feng Yuxiang abandoned Anhui and returned to Zhi, and became Feng Guozhang and Cao Kun's subordinates.In the first Zhifeng war, Feng Yuxiang made great contributions to the Zhili army. After Zhang Zuolin was defeated and retreated outside the customs, Cao Kun almost wanted to praise Feng Yuxiang to the sky as a reward for his great achievements.Soon, he was appointed as the governor of Henan.Again, for an inexplicable reason, his rivalry with Wu Peifu, the number two in his direct lineage, was like ice and fire.When Feng Yuxiang went to Henan to take up the post of military governor, he discovered that Wu Peifu had appointed Bao Dequan as a military assistant.Feng Yuxiang was so angry that he cursed: "What help! He is obviously a spy sent by Wu Peifu to spy on me. I can't spare him!" Bao Dequan is Wu Peifu's confidant.Before the first Zhifeng war, when Feng Yuxiang fought against Zhao Ti, the governor of Henan, he led his troops to attack Feng's troops in the north of Zhengzhou, and almost wiped out Feng's army.Feng Yuxiang hated him long ago and gritted his teeth. How could he be allowed to be his assistant? As a result, when Bao Dequan went to visit Feng Yuxiang in Kaifeng, he was shot dead by Feng Yuxiang as soon as he met him.Wu Peifu sent an angry telegram to question him, but Feng Yuxiang only said: "The Baobang was beaten to death by the rebels on the way before he took office!" Wu Peifu was especially annoyed that Wu was celebrating his 50th birthday in Luoyang, which was exactly the "All directions wind and rain meeting Zhongzhou" At this time, many warlords wanted to cling to him for fear that they would not be able to. Feng Yuxiang actually sent a can of clean water and confessed a lot of poverty, which made Wu Peifu lose face.In this way, it was difficult for Feng Yuxiang to gain a foothold in Henan. Cao Kun had no choice but to rise up and down, and transferred Feng Laijing to the title of "Army Review Envoy".Since then, Feng Yuxiang has had opinions not only on Wu, but also on Cao.But on the surface it is still obedient. du8.com copyright When Cao Kun saw Wang and Feng, he briefly explained the situation in Beijing and Tianjin to them, and then clearly gave them two tasks: "There should be no more turmoil in the country, especially Beijing, and the situation must be stabilized. Please Attention, you two, the first task is to protect the Congress. The next step to clean up this mess is to pass the opening of the Congress. If the members are not here, how can the Congress be held? To protect the Congress, the members must be stabilized." "Steady the MP?" Wang Huaiqing hesitated.A Gyeonggi garrison commander has no right to interfere with the actions of members of Congress.He understood what Cao Kun meant, that the councilors were not allowed to leave Beijing.But Wang thought: These people really want to go out of Beijing, what can I do? He asked Cao: "In the past, I only had the task of protecting them. Now I may have difficulties in keeping them stable." Cao Kun said: "What is the difficulty?" "us……" "You can handle it yourself." Cao Kun turned his face and said to Feng Yuxiang, "Huanzhang, what's your opinion?" "Execute Shan Shuai's order!" "It's not an order, it's at most an opinion." "I'll do as I please." Wang Huaiqing and Feng Yuxiang withdrew, and they went to do the work of "protecting the Congress" and "protecting parliamentarians". A few hours later, an ordinary military vehicle drove Cao Kun and several entourages from Beijing, and flew towards Tianjin at full speed.The car turned a few turns in the alleys in downtown Tianjin, and then drove into a yard with a signboard of "Tianjin Tongfu Biscuit Company" outside the door.Cao Kun got out of the car, and a handsome middle-aged man took him into a secret room, and then hastily closed the door. This is one of the four major enterprises established by Cao Kun's fifth younger brother Cao Jun in Tianjin.In addition to the biscuit company, there are Tianjin Stock Exchange, Northern Aviation Company and Daxincheng Hardware Co., Ltd.Only the biscuit company is the smallest.Probably for this reason, a few hours ago, Cao Kun made an emergency phone call to his fourth brother Cao Rui, saying, "There is a very urgent matter and I need to meet with you brothers for business."Cao Rui understood, and immediately informed: "It's in Lao Wu's biscuit company, where there are few people and no one pays attention." When Cao Kun walked into the secret room, his elder brother Cao Zhen, fourth younger Cao Rui, fifth younger Cao Jun, and seventh younger Cao Ying all arrived. They sat there anxiously one by one, not knowing what happened to the Cao family and their wealth and life. Related events? When Cao Kun walked in, he nodded to his elder brother Cao Zhen and called "Brother", but he didn't even nod his head or glance at the other brothers. He just sat on the chair in the middle, as if He is the "head of the family" of the Cao family-in terms of official position, Cao Kun is the largest in the brotherhood; in terms of property, Cao Kun is also the largest in the brotherhood.In this way, Cao Kun should naturally sit in the right seat in the eyes of the brothers.After taking his seat, Cao Kun peeked at the four seats from the corner of his eyes, probably knowing that everyone who was supposed to come had come, and then he spoke as if giving orders: "Some things are hard to say on the phone, so I only let the fourth one come." Come here, let’s talk face to face.” Although the boss, Cao Zhen, had no intention of taking the right seat, his identity was different after all, and Cao's courtyard and Cao's ancestral hall in Dagu Town were still dominated by him. "Elder brother replaces father" is a custom.Although he often gave up his seat to his third brother, the self-esteem of "surrogate father" always endowed him with a magnanimity that all younger brothers did not have.The third child made a start, and the boss did his part, and then he said a series of things that should be said: "If you have anything to say, let's get straight to the point. What should I do, brothers will do it together. It's all family, so don't hesitate." "It's like this..." Cao Kun briefly talked about the fact that the capital ran away from the president, and the French hospital handed over the president's seal, before getting to the point: "That's it, the middle school has no owner for a while. Opinions from all sides are welcome. It is only natural that Baoding should take the position. What about me? I have no choice but to go with my wishes. It is reasonable to say that after the war between Anhui and Feng, the position is naturally in Baoding. However, considering the current national conditions, Although Anhui and Feng were defeated, their influence has not been extinguished, not to mention that the Southern Revolutionary Party is also making great moves. Assuming a high position, I am afraid that there will be many constraints on all parties. Based on this, several staff members discussed together, first of all, they should do a good job as a member. It is a republic, and the president must be elected by the people. The representatives of the people are the members. The members of the members are mixed and chaotic, and it is difficult to unify their thinking without using money. On the issue of money, I have no intention of borrowing foreign debts, nor do I want to use the treasury—that If you do it, you will leave a disaster. The only safe way is that our brothers take it out first to deal with emergencies. The big thing is done, and in an instant, not only can it be recovered, but its benefits are especially visible! Today is for such a thing, please come get together." Cao Kun turned the topic to money, and the worries on the faces of the brothers were wiped away, and smiles suddenly appeared on the faces of each of them. It was the boss Cao Zhen who said first, "What big things did I say? So the third brother wants to spend a lot of money. A piece of money. It’s a trivial matter. Let’s settle the score later, say something, and just come home and get it!” Cao Zhen, who was five years older than Cao Kun, although guarding the Cao family's old camp in his hometown in Dagu, mostly engaged in farming, he was quite good at calculating and had a little bit of wrist.Relying on sticking to the old camp of Cao's Dagu, and personally expanding the house and building the ancestral hall, he suddenly developed a small, silent shipbuilding household into the most glorious wealthy household in Dagu Town, and he can be called a dutiful son of the Cao family.What's more, in these years, Boss Cao is no longer a farmer with his face turned to the loess and his back to the sky. He owns a Zhongtong pawnshop that dominates the Bohai Bay, and in Gaojiagang, Dagu, there is also a piece of riverside real estate with an annual profit of 100,000 yuan. , can be regarded as a rich and powerful person, if you stomp your feet, the southeast of Tianjin will shake for a while.Let’s just talk about the river beach in Gaojiagang. It was originally owned by a wealthy family named Gao Mingjing. Cao Kun’s father, an old shipbuilder Cao Bensheng, used to walk on this land and dare not even step on a weed.When Cao Kun was in charge of the three towns of Beiyang, Cao Town bought it in the name of developing coastal industry, saying "buy", and took the surname Cao without paying any money.It is said that after Hetan was surnamed Cao, there was still a surplus of the income that year was spent on "buying" land.In Dagu, there is no other company with this ability.Therefore, when it comes to money, Cao Zhen is not stingy with other brothers. du8.com copyright After the boss expressed his attitude, Cao Kun didn't answer, but turned his face to his fourth brother Cao Rui.Cao Kun knew in his heart that the fourth brother's arms were thicker than the eldest's legs.What's more, many of Cao Kun's "money-making" actions were mostly done by the fourth brother, who is the veritable "Chief of Finance of the Cao family".Cao Kun wanted to see his attitude eagerly. However, Cao Rui only smiled lightly at the gaze from the third child who was sitting in the right seat, and passed it on to the fifth and seventh child. The fifth brother, Cao Jun, is almost 50 years old, and his appearance is still in his prime. He is a good hand at making money. In addition to the four major companies we mentioned above, he also secretly opened a treasure trove in Langfang, a suburb of Beijing. Jewelry store, which can do big jewelry business; in addition, he also opened an electric light company in Baoding under the name of his son Cao Shijie.On the surface, this person regards himself as a businessman and does not care about politics.However, secretly, he is extremely sensitive to politics. In 1918, Duan Qirui, a warlord of the Anhui faction, decided to re-elect members in order to boycott Sun Yat-sen’s extraordinary meeting of the Congress in Guangzhou. Anhui politician Wang Yitang and others organized the Anfu Congress in Anfu Hutong, Beijing, and elected Xu Shichang as the president.Cao Jun actually managed to get a member of the Anfu National Assembly to cast a vote for the president in a serious manner, thereby gaining some political skills.Now, hearing that his brother Nai is about to ascend to the presidency, he is naturally extremely happy.He hurriedly said to the fourth brother: "Fourth brother, you are proficient in money matters, so there is no need to discuss anything. You and the third brother will add up the total, and the sum can be obtained from anywhere. Don't think that I am not as good as you guys." , when the time comes, I won’t drag my legs, if there are still some deficiencies, I will take care of everything. How about it?” Cao Kun smiled. "There is no need for Bao. In fact, doing such a thing, money and money are just a process, and it is a matter of small capital and high profits. A small deal, and you will come back immediately. No one has to break the bank." Cao Ying, the seventh child who was born as a scholar, was very excited when he heard the words of the third child, why not do something that makes a small profit.Standing up hurriedly, he said: "For the sake of the third brother, for our family, and for the glory of the ancestors, even if I lose my family, I will not hesitate. Please ask the fourth brother to settle the score, and I will do my best." Cao Ying is no longer a frail scholar. Walking out of Guzhen, he was admitted to the surveying school, and shortly after graduation, he served as the director of the Army Survey Bureau.Because this is a unit without oil and water, with the support of the third brother of the warlord, he became the commander of the 26th Division.Although the division commander has a lot of money, Cao Ying also has a lot of desires. He is currently secretly selling tobacco and soil in the name of military supplies.He can be regarded as a rich man if he engages in the real "low capital and high profit" business. However, he always claims to be "the poorest" among his brothers, so he said "I will try my best". The most calm and calm among the brothers is the fourth brother Cao Rui. 58-year-old Cao Rui has a superhuman silence, his face is as tense as ice, but the abacus in his head is very flexible. When Cao Kun mixed into the military, he was not tempted. He devoted himself to Dagu Town Yusheng No. Mizhuang.That was where he was an apprentice.Not long after his apprenticeship expired, he borrowed a sum of money from his third elder brother Cao Kun, and took over Mizhuang from his master, which made a lot of profit; later, he split a store from Yushenghao , called Lifeng Rice Village; soon, another quilt factory was opened, and a Tianjin Tongfu biscuit company was opened with Lao Wu - which is where the brothers meet today.When Cao Rui expanded his business, Cao Kun was at the time when his official career was prosperous.After Cao Kun took office as the governor of the third town, he intended to give this economically minded brother a hand.Call him to Baoding, ask about the situation of the factory and the village, and then say: "Jianting (Cao Rui No. Jianting), you have managed several projects that are good, but none of them can be successful. Make a small knock." Cao Rui said with a cold face: "Dagu to Tianjinwei is such a small place, the production is large, the business is large, and the market cannot be opened. Besides, you need a big capital, and the big capital can make big profits. .How hard!” "What's difficult? It's not difficult." Cao Kun said, "Expand your garment factory to a large extent and make me a town's military uniform." "Where are there so many raw materials?" Cao Rui said, "How much should I buy?" Cao Kun sneered: "The military supply department has plenty of supplies. What the military supply department does not have can be bought for military use or transported by military vehicles. Raw materials are bought at low prices, transportation does not cost money, and military supplies are not taxed. Is this kind of business possible?" Are you doing well!?" Cao Rui was suddenly enlightened, and hurriedly said: "Everything depends on the third brother's promotion." Soon, the villages, stores, factories, and companies run by Cao Rui all displayed the label of "military use".Even his former competitors were discouraged one by one.By 1917, Cao Rui had become the richest man in Tianjin.Therefore, he exchanged his economic strength for a governor of Zhili.The first thing I did after I became the governor was to open a Wuyuan spinning factory with 4 million funds from the Norwegian provincial treasury... Cao Rui, who has become the governor of the province, handles the government affairs of the province with an economic mind, and still insists on the principle of "making money for me". "A provincial governor can only work for four years. In these four years, I have to recoup my capital and earn some money." This is Cao Rui's plan.What else could he do besides embezzling four million treasury funds? Cao Rui couldn't think of a way out for a while.One day, he went to Quanyechang for a stroll, and suddenly found a little boy selling weeds there.He went up to ask, and it turned out that this little boy was only lived by father and son. The father was sick and had no money to seek medical treatment, so the boy sold himself.This matter inspired his fantasy: "A family has only boys that are valuable, and they can sell themselves to solve their difficulties. My province has hundreds of counties, and hundreds of counties have hundreds of county magistrates. If I treat county magistrates as goods Wouldn’t it be a good source of money to sell it!” Cao Rui thought about it, and his eyes suddenly lit up: “Okay! Why not do it!" du8.com copyright The years when Cao Rui wanted to sell his officials were the years when the war between the Beiyang warlords intensified.If you have soldiers in your hands and can dominate a side, the world is yours, and you are the emperor and president.Although Cao Rui had no soldiers, his elder brother Cao Kun did, and had many.Therefore, Cao Rui is naturally the overlord of one party.Selling county magistrates is not a matter of course.Therefore, he divided the counties of Zhili into three grades: large, medium, and small, and clearly designated 10,000 dayangs as magistrates for large counties, 90000 magistrates for middle counties, and 8000 magistrates for small counties with a term of one year.If you want to be the magistrate of a large county for one year, you can take office immediately with 10,000 yuan.In addition, Cao Rui listed rich counties such as Luan County and Qingyuan as "specially deficient" counties, and set the price at 30,000 to 40,000 oceans.The county magistrate has a clear price, and the price is not too high, so some business-minded elements are naturally scrambling to buy it.Cao Rui's deal to sell an official went very smoothly.During the four-year governor's period, just for this item, he easily obtained 3 million oceans, which he deposited in Citibank in the United States and HSBC in the United Kingdom.Afterwards, he thanked the post of governor with ease.When Cao Kun wanted to buy the president, Cao Rui had already got the money, and he had not been governor for almost a year.However, he was very indifferent to the fact that the third child wanted to buy the president. "I have enough money to spend, so I can live in peace and stability. Let's go. The world is not easy to break through. If there is a risk, wouldn't the hard work in the past few years be in vain!" Most of the huge family business was created by Cao Rui himself. He understands the hardships, so he cherishes P, N's family business even more.The brothers had all expressed their determination, and when it was his turn, he hesitated: "As the brothers support Lao Ba, the silver dollars deposited in the bank have to be taken out. It may be like a flow of water." I will never come back again. If you don’t support the third child, the Cao family will only use him as a banner. If the flag falls, the Cao family will be ruined. Can the family business created can be kept? It’s hard to say.” In a dilemma, his brows were wrinkled like walnut skins, and he just hung his head. As soon as Cao Kun saw that the fourth child was silent, he knew that he was desperate for money, and the eldest brother was very unhappy. "Miser! Do you know where the money comes from? Without my torch to light, the Cao family would be where it is today? How much money would you have in your hand? You can't bear to spend how much money I want. One day I will fall, and you will Can you keep your family fortune?" The more Cao Kun thought about it, the more angry he became, and he really wanted to scold the fourth child in front of his brothers. However, he didn't curse out, after all, he is a compatriot from the same mother, after all, he guards the property of the Cao family. "The miser is so short-sighted. What's the use of blaming him? You have to enlighten him and let him know that only big investments can make big profits." Cao Kun still said calmly: "It's reasonable for Jianting to hesitate, but you I know the difficulty of starting a business. However, the money must always be used. No matter which bank it is deposited in, the interest rate is pitifully small. If there is a use of three times five times, ten times eight times the interest, why not use it? ? Yes, money is hard-won, and I don’t want to throw it away lightly. It’s okay not to withdraw it when it’s time to throw it away.” Cao Kun paused for a while when he said this, and turned his face to look at his fourth brother.Then he said: "Where to go, tell me what you think, let's discuss again!" The fourth child was surprised when he heard that there was something in the third child's words.I feel that the third child is angry.He didn't want to make the third child angry. The Cao family relied on the big umbrella of the third child to keep out the wind and rain, so he had to feel more comfortable.So, I said: "Third brother, don't think that I am in love with money, no. I am not in love with money. I raise my hands for such a thing, and I approve of it a hundred times! I just thought, if this matter is successful, how great is it?" A score? Can we take it out? If you can’t take it out, it’s not enough, isn’t it also a mysterious thing.” Cao Kun felt relieved and smiled. "It's more realistic to think about it this way. It shows that Jianting's affairs are stable. Good!" "Third Brother," Cao Rui said, "None of us has ever done such a thing. I wonder if you have discussed it with the people around you? How much does it cost to do it?" "There is no specific discussion. Even if we discuss it, it is difficult to come to a definite number."
