It’s the end of the year, and in a few days the second year of the Republic of China will pass, and the years will soon usher in the third year of the Republic of China, which is the arrival of 1914 AD. As the end of the year approaches, the most important festival for the Chinese people will be the Spring Festival.

After the reunification, the rebellion of the Revolutionary Party also subsided. Although Bai Lang was still tossing in the northwest, he was still far away after all. The entire city of Beijing was more lively than usual. Every household was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and they were happily preparing for the New Year.

The department is also filled with joy before the holiday.

But unlike other departments, the atmosphere at the Bank of Communications is extremely solemn. Some grassroots clerks come in and out without even daring to speak out. You must know that since yesterday, the general manager Liang Shiyi has changed his previous amiable and steady image.

His face was so gloomy that he almost cried out. He also got angry in the office over a trivial matter and scolded several co-organizers above and below him bloody.

"do you know?"

"I know! Of course I know!"

"How do you think it will be fixed?"

"How do I know this? It depends on what happened above."

"By the way, do you plan to stay or go over there?"

"After working here for so many years, I have already gotten used to it. Of course I want to stay. What about you?"

"That's a big deal over there! With the President's backing behind him, General Manager Liang can't do anything to him. I'm not as important as you, brother, so maybe it's better to go over there..."

There are many private conversations like this within the Bank of Communications. Although it has not been officially announced, the world has never lacked well-informed people. The news of splitting the Bank of Communications and establishing a new central bank has been circulating more than half a month ago, but everyone

It's just not confirmed, but it's completely different now. It is said that the president has approved the central bank matter, and the government document from Premier Song also arrived yesterday, otherwise the general manager Liang Shiyi, who always pays attention to appearance, would not have acted so rudely.

Fang Zida acted quickly. On December 26, the day after Song Jiaoren's Prime Minister's Government Order was officially issued, he took people to the Bank of Communications to start preparations for the establishment of a central bank.

Although Liang Shiyi hated Fang Zida, after all, this matter was decided by Yuan Shikai, and it was officially approved by the government. Before that, Yuan Shikai specially went to talk to Liang Shiyi, on the one hand, to appease this man

The confidant, on the other hand, also tried to beat him, so as not to cause any stumbling blocks for Fang Zida. For this reason, no matter how dissatisfied Liang Shiyi was, he could only hold his nose and admit it. After a hasty meeting with Fang Zida in the general office, he

He stood up and left as he had official duties, leaving all the rest to the people below to handle.

"Yifu doesn't seem to be in a good mood today." The person who came with Fang Zida was none other than Yang Du. Seeing his old rival struggling with his own eyes, Yang Du felt much better. When he saw Liang Shiyi leaving with an expression on his face,

Yang Du sat on the sofa, shook his folding fan, and said with a smile.

"Haha, it's getting late, let's do the handover first." Fang Zida smiled noncommittally, and then nodded to the few people who were left behind. The restless guys quickly brought a dozen large wooden boxes, which contained a

Thick stacks of ledgers and various documents.

After picking it up and flipping through it a few times, Fang Zida threw the things into the box, smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "I won't read this thing. Although the Bank of Communications is split, it can still be a top bank in terms of business.

All transactions will be handled as they are, and this is still the job of General Manager Liang. However, the funds for large loans must be handed over to the Central Bank, including the summary of bank check books issued by the Bank of Communications, etc."

Several people wiped their sweat and nodded, and soon the information Fang Zida needed was delivered one by one. After reading it carefully, Fang Zida nodded. Although he and Liang Shiyi did not have a good relationship, judging from these things, Liang Shiyi, as the president of Bank of Communications,

Still working diligently.

Since there was generally no problem with the accounts, Fang Zida put them aside for the first time. Fang Zida was not too careful about auditing and other matters. He could just go over some things vaguely. There was no need to offend Liang Shiyi too much. After all, he was the same person.

Isn’t he a member of Lao Yuan? No matter what, President Yuan’s face still has to be sold.

"Do you have a roster of bank employees?"

"Yes! Mr. Fang, what do you need?" a forty-year-old co-organizer accompanying the handover asked quickly.

Nodding, Fang Zida said: "The Central Bank has just been established, and I need a group of manpower. Could you please bring me the roster? By the way, is there a resume in the roster?"

"Of course, there is a record at the archives office."

He nodded and motioned for him to get it, and soon several rosters were delivered to him. Fang Zida motioned for them to go down first and began to read page after page carefully.

The roster of the Bank of Communications was indeed as the co-organizer said, and was done very carefully. Fang Zida was very satisfied with this. It not only included the age, place of origin, and education of the employees, but also indicated their specialties and comments from their superiors. With these, Fang Zida

But it’s much easier.

In the next few days, Fang Zida and Yang Du stayed at the Bank of Communications, and Liang Shiyi was nowhere to be seen since he showed up on the first day, and he didn't know where he went. It took Fang Zida two days to complete the roster of employees.

After reading it carefully, in general, the employees of Bank of Communications are of high quality. More than half of the thousands of employees have studied abroad, and many of them majored in finance. It can be said that there is a lot of talents. Among them, Fang Zida carefully selected

About a hundred people came out, and in the following days of interviews, some were repeatedly selected, and finally thirty-nine people were left.

After closing the finalized roster, Fang Zida breathed a sigh of relief. The thirty-nine people in this roster were his direct subordinates and would also be the backbone of the central bank in the future.

"Zhang Ming, are there a few people missing? How did you choose so few?" Yang Du was sent by Yuan Shikai to assist Fang Zida. Seeing that he had been busy for several days before finally selecting such a few people, Yang Du couldn't help but ask.

"That's enough." Fang Zida said with a smile: "People are more valuable than talents. Being a bank is actually like leading troops to fight. I only need people who can be used. The central bank will not raise idle people."

"Anyway, you are the general manager, so I just asked you this, haha!"

"Okay, let's go back. The central bank headquarters is probably almost ready. We will have these people report there after the Spring Festival. Then everyone has a good rest and has a good New Year."

"Let's go! I've been dazzled by these things these days. Why don't you and I have a drink?" Yang Du smiled, stroking his hands, getting up and preparing to go have a good time with Fang Zida. At this time, the co-organizer who had been accompanying them looked hesitant.

I couldn't help but ask a question.

"General Manager Fang, don't you need administrative co-organizers?"

Fang Zida was stunned, then turned to look at him. The co-organizer was named Zhou Chen. His situation was also on the roster, and Fang Zida had also read it carefully.

Zhou Chen, courtesy name Yicheng. In 1875, Zhou Chen, who was only eight years old, completed his middle school courses in the United States as a young boy studying in the United States. Unfortunately, in 1881, when he was about to enter Yale University, he was recalled by the Qing government in advance.

After being displaced several times, he finally joined the Bank of Communications.

Speaking of Zhou Chenlai, he can be regarded as an old man from the Bank of Communications. He started from a general staff step by step, and it took him more than ten years to reach the position of co-organizer. Although his academic qualifications are only average, he is quite capable and does administrative work in an orderly manner.

After getting in touch with him in the past few days, Fang Zida also recognized Zhou Chen's work ability very much.

But he never expected that Zhou Chen, the co-organizer of the Bank of Communications, would actually ask him to change his family under such circumstances. This made Fang Zida very surprised. You must know that most of the people he chose were only grassroots employees, and those at the middle level were only

There were only three, and the top management didn't consider it at all. This was not only because Fang Zida didn't want to go too far, so as not to cause a strong backlash from Liang Shiyi, but also because he was able to build a new central bank according to his ideas and completely change the old-style banks that were superfluous.

Inefficient style.

"What does Zhou Co-organizer mean...?" Fang Zida asked with a smile.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Chen seemed to make up his mind and said: "After a few days of contact, Zhou felt that General Manager Fang was a practical person. Zhou had been mediocre for many years, but in the blink of an eye, he was no longer confused. Looking back on those years, he was filled with emotion! If Fang had

With permission from the General Office, Zhou wants to work in your bank, is it possible?"

Looking at Zhou Chen's eager and anxious eyes, Fang Zida thought for a while, and finally nodded and said: "I understand what Zhou Coordinator means. Of course Zida welcomes you to the Central Bank, but there are ugly words ahead. The Central Bank is not as good as the transportation department."

Bank, Zida cannot guarantee whether the position of co-organizer can be retained after you come."

Fang Zida's answer did not disappoint Zhou Chen. Instead, he said happily: "This is no problem. Thank you, Mr. General Office."

"Zhang Ming, although this person is talented, does he recommend himself in such a way...?" After leaving the Bank of Communications, Yang Du kindly reminded him. Fang Zida smiled and disagreed: "It doesn't matter, Zhou Chen is talented. Our central bank is not as good as the Bank of Communications."

, so what if Liang Shiyi is behind him? I only use his talent."

At this time, Song Jiaoren was entertaining several guests in the Prime Minister's Office. They were Yang Sen, Zhang Ji, Wang Zhengting and Wu Jinglian.

"Everyone, why are you free to come to my place today? Come on, let's try this tea." Song Jiaoren warmly greeted everyone to sit down.

The tea was good, but everyone's thoughts were not on the tea. They took a slight sip and then put the tea down, all with sad faces.

Seeing this, Song Jiaoren was surprised and thought something big had happened. After asking quickly, he found out that they had come specifically to find Qingjing. It turned out that since the legislative resolution was passed, the two houses of Congress had come to terms with the Constitution and the Criminal Law.

, the formulation of laws such as the Commercial Code was a riot every day, and the entire Congress was as noisy as a market. Even just over a few words of a single article of a certain law, the situation escalated from scolding to a full-scale fight. When Wang Zhengting, who presided over the parliament, broke up the fight,

He also received a severe punch, and his face is still bruised and swollen.
Chapter completed!
