Chapter 201: Rush to Nanjing (Part 1)

Chapter 201: Hurry to Nanjing (Part 1)

On the carriage, An Zhuang, who had been silent since the beginning, suddenly asked Xu Changqing: "Sir, how do you think of Song Jiaoren and Chen Qimei?"

Xu Changqing turned his head to look at An Zhuang and said, "He is a master of the world." Hearing Xu Changqing's comments, An Zhuang's eyes showed a hint of dullness, and then Xu Changqing said, "It's a pity that his face died prematurely, and he probably has lived for a few years."

This sentence surprised Anzhuang, and then there was a hint of undetectable joy on his face, and he didn't ask anything more. Anzhuang's expression naturally did not escape Xu Changqing's eyes. He looked out the window, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was giving Anzhuang a hint, saying: "The Chen family will play an important role in the three realms of Chinese politics, business and military affairs, both now and in the future, so not everyone is qualified to be the butler of the Chen family."

After hearing this, An Zhuang showed a hint of enlightenment, and turned around and clasped his fists at Xu Changqing and said, "Thank you, sir."

The reason for continuing to stay in Shanghai is gone. The Huang brothers and sisters have also accumulated a lot of secular experience. There is no benefit in continuing to stay in Shanghai, so Xu Changqing is ready to leave. At this time, Chen Deshang, who attended the funeral in Zhang Zhidong, returned to Shanghai. At the same time, he came back, there was another person around him, and that person was Li Wenjun. Seeing Chen Deshang put Li Wenjun next to Chen Dejun to do things, he could guess that Li Wenjun should have been initially recognized by the head of the Chen family. What he had to do next was to make all the Chen family members agree with him with his own strength.

When Chen Deshang learned that the Chen family had become the largest coffee planter in South America, he was overjoyed. He had been in the business world for a long time and naturally knew what this meant. This not only meant that the Chen family had already established itself in the Americas, but they could also officially enter the US futures and financial market through the coffee beans in their hands, and a periphery became a market maker controlling the market. The effect of its greatness on the Chen family was no less than that of Chen Jingguo who bought seven light industrial factories in Britain and France at a low price.

Xu Changqing played a crucial role in the entire transaction, and Chen Deshang was also very clear about this, but he really didn't know how to thank Xu Changqing. When he learned that there was a spiritual object in heaven and earth in Europe, he decided to spend a huge sum of money to offer a reward under the European black market, hoping to find the spiritual object in heaven and earth to surprise Xu Changqing. In this way, the whole Europe was stirred up a storm by a small stone brought from the east. The official, folk, religious and other forces showed their magical powers, just to find such an inconspicuous small stone, and the revenge killing incidents occurred one after another. Almost every day in Europe newspapers can see related news.

Just when Europe was making a fuss about Xu Changqing's small stone, Xu Changqing had already boarded the inland boat to Nanjing and continued his journey back to his hometown.

Nanjing was called Jianye, Jiankang and Jinling in ancient times. It was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, with a strong dragon spirit. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was chosen as the capital of Nanjing. Although Nanjing was a superior geographical area and gathered with water with wind and water, it was recognized as a treasure, few people knew that there was no qi of the radius. Because if there was no radius of the radius assisting the dragon energy of the birth, the national fortune would not last long. In other words, this place could be the founding capital and the dynasty capital, but it would never be the capital of the country. Any dynasty that regarded Nanjing as the capital of the country would be short-lived.

When Xu Changqing stepped into this city that made him feel strange, his first feeling was prosperity. This prosperity was not the vain feeling of materialism in Shanghai, but a kind of thick and steady feeling that made people feel at ease. The ships passing by the dock, the bustling crowds on the streets, and the shops scattered throughout the city all showed the vitality of the city. Unlike the stimulation of Shanghai's business world being full of wealth overnight, the Nanjing business world pays more attention to the long flow of water.

The ancient city of Nanjing suffered a devastating blow in the struggle between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing court. Although it has gradually recovered over the years, you can still see many ruins left by walking on the streets. Perhaps the people of Nanjing have not forgotten the war that happened here. They are still scared and learned to be a man with their heads down and always abide by the standards of the Qing court in their thoughts. When other places launched the Westernization Movement and Enlightenment Movement again and again, the place was always calm, and the academy still taught eight-legged ancient Chinese, and even if there were professors of Western learning, they dared not put it on the surface. This made it rare to see Chinese people wearing suits and dresses on the streets of Nanjing except for foreigners, and there were no progress in students who dared to convey their enlightened ideas in the downtown city.

"Master, where are we going?" Huang Shan led his sister to avoid a strong man who had just walked out of the restaurant, ran to Xu Changqing and asked.

Xu Changqing said expressionlessly: "A place where the master doesn't want to go, but he has to go."

The reason why Xu Changqing stayed in Nanjing this time was mainly to go to the Shen family's ancestral home to find the whereabouts of the Shen family. When he was in Shanghai, Xu Changqing also asked Chen Zhenshan to inquire about the whereabouts of the Shen family who moved to Europe. However, the final result was not very satisfactory. The news that the Shen family changed a Western surname after moving to Europe, and then lived in seclusion in the central Europe area. No one knew where the specific place was known. The Shen family's ancestral home in China was handed over to a servant who served the Shen family for generations. Since there was no news in Europe, Xu Changqing could only find a way to find the whereabouts of the Shen family's ancestral home. Although he also knew that there was little hope, he still wanted to try it.

Although the Shen family has been away from Nanjing for many years, many Nanjing people still have new memories of this richest family in Nanjing. When Xu Changqing asked about the location of the Shen family's old house, Nanjing people were able to quickly point out their location.

The Shen family is a real aristocratic family in Nanjing. It is said that its ancestor was Shen Wansan, the richest man of the Ming Dynasty. However, many people, the Shen family owned people, do not believe this statement. From his genealogy, it can be seen that his ancestors came from Hunan and settled in Nanjing only during the Qianlong period. Although the Shen family has made many explanations, the people in Nanjing do not care about these things. It is all the same when using the names of ancestors to deal with living people. What's more, Shen Wansan has a name for a treasure pot, and the people in Nanjing borrowed this name.
