The potential direct descendants of the big family are at most remote controlled from behind, but if you want them to come forward in person, it is impossible, they can't afford to lose face.

The most typical is Zhili Textile Bank, which can be said to be the largest private bank in China and the largest private enterprise, with assets under management of more than 50 million taels of silver.

Most of the bank's shares are controlled by various means, such as direct shareholding, or through corporate or institutional shareholding, etc., in the hands of major gentry families in Jiangnan. Well, they are basically similar to the Chen Lifu family. A typical official family, famous gentry.

However, among the twenty or so famous gentry families, none of the outstanding young generation in each family served in Zhili Textile Company, not even in high-ranking positions.

Because the outstanding generation of these gentry families are now serving as officials!

Even if he is not an official, he is still studying hard, desperately trying to apply for Guozijian University, Jinling University, Jiangnan University, and then pass the examination to become an official.

It is their main business to study and become an official, and to go into business is to be called an unprofessional business.

Yang Cheng, of course, does not belong to the outstanding generation of these gentry families, but his eldest brother Yang Lin is the one who was abandoned.

But even so, as the direct descendant of the gentry family, he went into business in person, which is very rare, because even many other direct descendants of the gentry who were unable to enter the attempt were still clenching their teeth and not doing business, and they would not lose it. Get that face up!

But Yang Cheng felt that it didn't matter. He had lost all his face in the past two decades. When he applied for the Nanchang Preparatory School, he only got eight points in the math test. It is widely circulated in the sub-circle.

After being cheated of more than 8,000 taels of silver, Yang Cheng was very angry at first, but he felt particularly helpless after the anger.

If it was in Jiujiang, their Yang family would immediately put pressure on the relevant yamen to solve the case as soon as possible. These liars dared to lie to Yang Ershao in Jiujiang. Isn't this courting death!

But this is not Jiujiang, but Shanghai!

In Shanghai, let alone him, even if his father came in person, he would be no different from ordinary people.

In this place, making money is the king. Who cares if you are a gentleman's son? Besides, you, Yang Cheng, are a gentleman's son. It seems that everyone is not the same.

These days, most of the people who can spend a lot of money to invest in companies and build factories are gentry families.

And Shanghai is currently the most developed industrial and commercial area of ​​the empire, and the most concentrated place for private enterprises, and these private enterprises are, to put it bluntly, enterprises run by gentry families.

Therefore, in this place, there is a lot of money, and there are many gentry and children of status. Yang Cheng's identity cannot be shown in Shanghai.

Helplessly came out of the police station, Yang Cheng looked at the gloomy sky, sighed, and then pondered, he still had less than two thousand taels of silver left, how should he start a factory? Equipment can't be bought...

The housekeeper on the side did not know what to say when he saw his second young master look like this. Although he was more than 20 years older than Yang Cheng, this was the first time he had come to Shanghai. He just came to see the dangers of Shanghai.

So he can only say: "Don't worry, young master, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, there will always be a way!"

Yang Cheng frowned and said, "But the problem is, we don't even have a boat now!"

"Why don't you send an expedited letter to your family and ask your family to bring in the money, otherwise, you won't be able to open the factory!"

Yang Cheng refused directly: "No, you can't tell your family about this, and you can't ask your family for money!"

He still had a word in his heart that he didn't say. If he was going to get money from his family, wouldn't he also tell the story that he was deceived when he first came to Shanghai. In the past, his father often said that he was stupid, and he read it for more than ten years. Don't fart.

Now if I tell my father about this again, I guess he will consider himself mentally retarded, and maybe he will say something like: In the more than 200 years of my Yang family, I have never been so stupid as you!

Therefore, this matter cannot be said, otherwise it is self-inflicted humiliation.

Since the principal is not much, then I am afraid that this glass window will not last, so I have to make another plan.

In fact, it's not that he didn't think about using his own private assets to fill it in, but how could it be so easy.

His private assets are more than tens of thousands of dollars, but most of them are not cash, but most of them are family companies, that is, the stock of Jiujiang Glass Company, and the other is a small farmhouse and two shops. Cash isn't that much.

And these stocks, small farms and shops were all distributed to him by his family when he was an adult. The intention is not to let him sell these assets to pay back the money, but to allow him to obtain the annual profits of these industries, and then act as a personal cost of living or something.

If he sells these assets, especially the shares of Jiujiang Glass Company, his father can break his legs!

In this case, although the assets in his name are quite large, the cash usually is only a few thousand taels of silver. When he first arrived in Shanghai, he spent nearly a thousand silver cars and purchased a building with a similar location. Yes, but the price is quite expensive for a small house, and then I purchased a two-wheeled carriage and a horse, and then hired a coachman, cooks, maids, etc. The cost is not small.

After all, I plan to do business in Shanghai and live in an inn all the time. I must have a house, and he is a decent person. In addition, the carriage used for travel is also essential, and the cook and the maid are also indispensable.

Otherwise, how can we get a foothold in Shanghai in the future!

Therefore, now there are only less than two thousand taels left in his personal bank account. Although the money is not much, he does not have to worry about spending too much. He will have no money to spend in the future. The assets under his name will be given to him every day. He makes money, four or five thousand taels of silver a year, enough for him to maintain a decent life in Shanghai.

It's just that although there is no shortage of living expenses, even if he doesn't eat in the future and fills in all the money, he still can't afford those machinery and equipment!

With distress, Yang Cheng left the police station and returned to the small house he just bought!

Relying on the existing assets, this glass factory is afraid that it will not be able to open. After all, the equipment cannot be bought, but Yang Cheng is not reconciled.

The biggest difficulty he faces now is that he can't afford to buy machinery and equipment. As for other problems, they are not too big. He has already contacted the factory and made a deposit. As for the workers, there is no technical content. It is enough to recruit ordinary workers. As for the craftsmen who have mastered the skills, they have already been brought from Jiujiang.

The only trouble now is the equipment!

Yang Cheng was lying on the reclining chair on the balcony on the second floor. He did not close his eyes, but looked at the road and street lights outside the balcony, as well as the boats emitting weak lights on the Huangpu River.

The two-story building he purchased was not in the business district, but a small building along the river at the junction of the business district and the first industrial zone.

The area along the river in the business district is basically an expensive office area, and only a small area is a residential area, that is Huangpu Road.

This is a small protruding area of ​​the Huangpu River. When the Shanghai Wharf Company developed this place, because the terrain here was not very good, it was not suitable for use as a wharf, so a large park was built here, and then surrounded the park. On the periphery, that is, the area along the river on three sides, more than 50 two- or three-story single-family houses have been built. This Huangpu Road, which is only a few hundred meters short, is the most expensive residential area in the entire business district.

The houses there are all two- or three-storey small buildings. The style is not the same as the traditional buildings. It is a new type of residential building combining Chinese and Western that has only appeared in recent years. There are only fifty buildings in these small buildings. , each building is sky-high, and the owners of each building are either the emerging powers of the empire, or the old and famous gentry, in short, they are all rich and powerful guys.

Those places~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are naturally not something that Yang Cheng can afford or live in.

The successful development of Huangpu Road has also benefited Shanghai Wharf Company, so a new park was built in the area along the river at the junction of the commercial zone and the industrial zone, and then houses were built around the park for sale.

It is a pity that the price was too expensive, and at that time, the Shanghai Terminal Company desperately wanted to build more houses on the limited land in order to make more money, so the houses they built were generally small, and the area of ​​each building was only a few. It is only 100 square meters, and the front and rear courtyards are also very small, which is completely different from those on Huangpu Road, each of which covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters.

However, this also leads to the fact that the real rich and powerful people don't like it, and those who have no money can't afford it. Therefore, most of the people who buy property here belong to people like Yang Cheng. They are not very rich, but There is also some money, but also the pursuit of various decent people.

On the reclining chair, although Yang Cheng was looking at the scenery outside, he didn't pay any attention to the flickering of street lights outside, but thought about how to solve the equipment problem.

The equipment must be purchased, otherwise, his glass factory will not be able to open!

But there is no money. If he had, he would buy it directly. Why bother thinking about it now.

After thinking hard until midnight, Yang Cheng suddenly remembered something, and then went back to his room, picked up a wooden pole and carbon core and wrote it directly on the paper. The more he wrote, the more excited he became. In the process of writing, Occasionally stopped and meditated, and then crumpled up the paper that had been written and threw it away, and wrote again.

This writing took several hours. When he put down the pen, the sky was already pale, but he was not sleepy at this moment, on the contrary, he was extremely excited, and muttered in his mouth: " Heaven has no way to go, and I, Yang Cheng, will definitely succeed!"
