Chapter 28: Eight Great Husbands

Because of the flight team, the people from the Beiyang government finally came. This time they came Wang Maoru's old acquaintance, Yan Fuyan, former president of Peking University and currently one of Yuan Shikai's aides. Wang Maoru was very happy with the arrival of the old acquaintance, but Yan Fu looked a little fatter this year. When asked, he found out that Yan Fu quit smoking because of the attacks of the party members and was very healthy. Wang Maoru took him to the Bada Hutong to drink, Yan Fu said that it would be better to call the senior worker Zang Pingliang. Wang Maoru said that the Japanese would definitely not come here to play, so it would be better to just let us. Yan Fu said that I would introduce you to a few people, one is Yong Jianqiu of the Jiecheng Foreign Company, who is the general agent of the German Ahed Arsenal in China, and the other is Ye Gongsheng, the younger brother of Ye Gongchuo, the director of the Road Administration of the Ministry of Transportation. Four people took two American Ford cars to go to the Bada Hutong to drink.

The most famous thing in Beijing is not the Beiyang government, but the Eight Great Hutongs. Every night, the Eight Great Hutongs are brightly lit. These Eight Great Hutongs are Baishun Hutong, Yanzhi Hutong, Hanjiatan, Shaanxi Lane, Shitou Hutong, Wang Guangfu Xiejie, Zhujia Hutong, Lishamao Hutong. There are many wind and moon scenes in Beijing, but in terms of grade and scale, they are not as good as these Eight Great Hutongs. Whether it is Beiyang officials, the Democratic Party, or even the Progressive Party officials, they run to the Eight Great Hutongs as soon as it gets dark and don’t go home until dawn.

Therefore, it can be said that the Eight Great Hutongs were the center of Beijing's political rights at that time, and many insider transactions also happened here. National affairs had to be discussed in the Yaozi Pavilion, which was also considered a great wonder of the Republic of China.

In Shuchun Tower, several people ordered wine and food, and listened to the songs in the small wine. The artists played the pipa or the flower drum, singing or dancing. The woman sitting next to them also toasted and laughed. Wang Maoru was able to let go, but the secretary Zhao Jiacheng next to him was a little embarrassed. Yan Fu also asked a girl to feed the wine in a rude manner. It seemed that when he arrived here, all the man's disguise was removed.

After listening to the song, Yan Fucai said: "Xiusheng is no longer a professor and a businessman now, which is very successful."

"Hehe, Mr. Yan, if you do business with me, you can make some money." Wang Maoru smiled.

Yong Jianqiu said: "Mr. Xiusheng is not making a little fortune. Now your foreign lamp factory and match factory almost monopolize the business in North China. You don't know how many people envy you. Our foreign lamps are now unable to sell any of them. It's all because of your Huaxing oil lamps. Haha, our foreign lamps have been defeated. Mr. Xiusheng must have a drink with me today to apologize."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Wang Maoru picked up the wine cup and toasted it. After drinking it, the two of them laughed and said, "I don't care about these things. They are all the subordinates who are busy. The two managers are very capable."

Ye Gong, who was on the other side, laughed and said, "Mr. Xiusheng is modest. The businessmen from North China don't know your name. No matter how capable the two managers are, they have to obey your order. No matter how powerful this wolf dog is, they are still raising dogs."

Wang Maoru shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, what kind of metaphor is this? If Ma Xiaoshui and Cui Zhou heard this, they would resign in anger. It seems that Ye Gongsheng is a fool.

Ye Gongsheng said again: "I heard from my elder brother and Mr. Yansun that Mr. Xiusheng is not only knowledgeable, but also good at doing business and making a fortune. If you have the opportunity in the future, you should support me."

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "That's nature, that's nature."

Ye Gongsheng said: "This weekend, Sunday night, my elder brother's family will hold a dance party, and Mr. Xiusheng is invited to come." As he said that, he took out two invitations, with gold-toned letters "Invitation Letter, Ye". This is the invitation letter for Ye Gongchuo's family's cocktail party. Being able to get this invitation letter can be regarded as a corner of the words spoken in Beijing and revealing his face.

Wang Maoru nodded, while Secretary Zhao Jiacheng received the invitation letter, he said, "I will definitely go, I'm upset, I'm upset."

"By the way, Mr. Xiusheng has opened an airplane factory?" Ye Gongsheng asked.

The meat show is coming, Wang Maoru said, "It's not surprising that I'm thinking about my plane factory, but I'm investing 200,000 US dollars into the plane factory. How can you take it away with just one word?" But he smiled and looked very vain. He said, "It's not surprising that small industries are not surprising. Compared with your transportation bosses, my plane factory is just a toy."

Yong Jianqiu interrupted: "How can an airplane be a toy? This is a matter of promoting our country's power. The President has personally inquired. I see Mr. Xiusheng's success is just around the corner. Congratulations to Mr. Xiusheng first."

Wang Maoru hurriedly said: "Where is it, I don't have the blessing of being so successful, but seeing that there are planes abroad but not in our country, we are full of talents in China."

"What do you think of Mr. Xiusheng's invitation to the president?" Yan Fu was Yuan Shikai's aide, so he was naturally concerned about this issue. Because he had a good relationship with Wang Maoru, he was sent to win over.

Wang Maoru thought for a moment and smiled and said, "Of course it's a good idea. I hope to serve the country, but this person is not right, it's really..."

"As long as Xiusheng is concerned about the government, as long as he is justified, I will naturally help you." Yan Fu said with a smile.

"If you have any trouble, you are bothering Mr. Yan again." Wang Maoru said.

After a few people talked about this, they talked about the content, but they didn't go deeper. The next day, Yan Fu came to Wang Maoru's home again and said, "The Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Army are fighting for your flight team now."

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Is the Ministry of Transportation powerful, or the Ministry of Army powerful?"

"It's the President who is great." Yan Fu smiled.

Wang Maoru asked: "Is the President determined?"

Yan Fu replied: "The President means to arrange a position as a pilot for you. However, the Ministry of Army and the Ministry of Transport do not agree with it. The President must take into account the meaning of his subordinates."

"I guess the result is probably the Ministry of Transportation won," Wang Maoru said with a smile.

Yan Fu smiled and said, "Xiusheng and I have the same idea, but it will take a few days to know about this matter. Let them make it." After laughing, the two went to the Bada Hutong to listen to the little songs, waiting for the volunteers to take the bait. A few days later, the Ministry of Transport and the Army finally reached a conclusion. Yan Fu came to report the news: "The President established a flight team of the Republic of China, which belongs to the Central Committee, and is called the Flight Section of the Ministry of Transportation. The candidate for the section chief is Liang Maokun. You are the captain of the Flight Team of the Flight Team, and you are also registered in the Army. You are the rank of lieutenant. Good guy, as soon as you join the army, you become the rank of lieutenant."

"Who is Liang Maokun?" Wang Maoru asked.

"This kid is Liang Caishen's nephew." Yan Fu explained, "I am younger than you, and I am in the second place in the circle of young masters in Beijing."

Wang Maoru was interested, "What do you say?"
