Chapter 399 Overall Interests
Early the next morning, Zhou Junyan and Zhou Junruo took the earliest train back to Nanjing, and reported to President Jiang in detail as soon as possible about Zheng Yi's current situation and "new political stance", the intention of the Zheng family's arsenal to start arms trade with the army under the leadership of President Jiang, and the inspection invitation issued by Zheng Yi on behalf of the Zheng family to the Quartermaster Department of the General Headquarters and the Ordnance Industry Administration.

As soon as Zhou Junyan and Zhou Junruo left, Zheng Yi's eldest brother Zheng Heng rushed from Wuhan to Huhai, Feng Jingzhai and Zheng Xuan naturally wanted to feast at home to entertain the eldest brother Zheng Heng who came from afar, and also said that their brothers and sisters rarely got together for a meal, and said that Zheng Yi would not let Zheng Yi in the unpopular villa on the edge of the racetrack.
Zheng Heng, who arrived by boat for two days and one night, was more mature and sophisticated than two years ago, his slightly thin face was flushed, and a well-trimmed and beautiful beard grew under his straight nose, and the whole person was full of energy, his expression was calm, and he could no longer see the youthfulness of a young man.
The family banquet at noon was full of family affection and laughter.
As the son of a family, Xu Maofu has won the sincere acceptance of all members of the Zheng family and his in-law Feng Jingzhai through his hard work and excellent achievements in the past year, and everyone regards him as their own family, rather than a lowly family child.
Xu Maofu, who is cheerful by nature, is also very open, and blends into it very naturally, when talking about Zhou Junyan's appointment to investigate Zheng Yi's experience, he said a few witty words from time to time that satirized President Jiang and the Investigation Department of the Central Party Department, which made everyone laugh.
After the luncheon, Feng Jingzhai took the initiative to mention that Zheng Yi came to speculate in real estate, and said that he would follow Zheng Yi's steps and speculate on shares.
Zheng Heng immediately cheered up.
Two weeks ago, Zheng Heng received a telegram from his father, learning that his second brother Zheng Yi had rushed to Shanghai to deal with some business, and at the same time, he would secretly start speculating in real estate in the concession.
Zheng Heng had great trust in Zheng Yi's keen eye and business predictions that he had never missed, and immediately made a decision after receiving his father's reminder, and did not hesitate to collect $700,000 in just a few days by selling lower-priced inventory shops, collecting drug arrears and bank loans, and then rushed to Huhai, ready to make a big profit with Zheng Yi.
After a short discussion, Zheng Yi simply entrusted his share of the funds to Feng Jingzhai and Zheng Heng for investment, Zheng Heng and Feng Jingzhai discussed a few words, and readily agreed to accept Zheng Yi's entrustment, put the three funds together to operate together, and made a number of oral agreements.
Zheng Yi still has very important things to do, and he doesn't have the energy and time to accompany Feng Jingzhai and his eldest brother Zheng Heng step by step, seeing the eldest sister Zheng Xuan, who turned her elbow outward, facing the gains and losses of nearly 10 million oceans of investment, she threw down the sentence "If there is a loss after the end of the year, it will be mine", and then asked Feng Jingzhai for a car, and after getting the car key, he and Xu Maofu walked away.
Seeing Zheng Yi striding out of the door of the main hall, Zheng Xuan felt a little guilty in her heart, and her fair face began to get hot, but she still complained to Zheng Yi unconvinced: "The second brother's wings are hard, I'm afraid I'll not be able to control him anymore, alas, ......"
Feng Jingzhai didn't know his wife's careful thoughts, so he laughed and explained: "Don't worry, the second brother is open-minded, I didn't see him angry at all." From the time I met him to the present, he has always been in this style, and it is estimated that it is a habit that he developed in the army before, and it is not so easy to change. ”
Zheng Heng smiled: "Don't say it, in front of the second brother, I, the eldest brother, have never been able to straighten my waist, he is more capable than me, I can't accept it, haha!" ”
"I don't know where he and Xiaofu went crazy again, and he didn't explain when he left, I don't care about anything else, whether he wants to come back for dinner at night, he should always talk to me, the eldest sister!" Zheng Xuan was still nagging indignantly.
Feng Jingzhai said with a smile: "The second brother is such a big person, and he has a little wealth by his side, where do you want to go?" Leave him alone, I guess they're going back to the bungalow on the edge of the racetrack...... That place is the only real estate left by the second brother in China, and it is not easy to come to Shanghai, and I have to see it with my own eyes to be relieved. ”
"With what I know about my second brother, maybe he will sell that property when the time comes." Zheng Heng lit a cigarette and said with a smile.
Zheng Xuan was taken aback, glared at the phoenix and said, "Impossible, right?" That is the only place for the second brother to live in Huhai, if he sells it, where will he live when he comes back in the future? ”
Zheng Heng glanced at his sister with a smile: "You really don't know? ”
"What do I know?" Zheng Xuan asked angrily.
Zheng Heng shook his head: "The second brother has given up 30% of the shares in the family's most important land company and News Group, and instead holds nearly 70% of the shares of the Far East Machinery Manufacturing Company that was reorganized after the acquisition by his father, and has 20% of the shares in the Hong Kong Ocean Transportation Company jointly established by his father and the two major families of Nanyang. ”
"I won't talk about the latter one first, just talk about the reorganized Far East Machinery Manufacturing Company, the company's total assets have exceeded 1.2 million pounds, and its shareholders include Hong Kong Justice Sir Rochester and Hong Kong Swire Pacific, under the jurisdiction of the original Hong Kong Swire Shipyard, the thermal power plant under construction and the growing precision instrument manufacturing company."
"The so-called precision instrument manufacturing company is actually an arsenal for the production of weapons and equipment, and this only arsenal in Hong Kong has obtained a license issued by the British government, so the Far East Maschinen-Building Company has become a weapons supplier to the British Royal Navy and the Far East colonial army, and the future is limitless!"
Zheng Xuan was taken aback, and Feng Jingzhai, who had been listening with a smile and a calm face, was also stunned: "I know that the precision machinery manufacturing company under the second brother produces weapons and equipment, but I have never heard the second brother mention the rest, what is going on?" ”
Zheng Heng explained with emotion: "I only found out about receiving a letter from my father in the middle of last month...... As early as when the second brother returned to Hong Kong, he discussed with his father the direction of the family's development. ”
"The reason why my father paid a large price to acquire the bankrupt Hong Kong Taikoo Shipyard was a bold decision made after accepting the advice of his second brother, and the two most important reasons were: through the acquisition of the Hong Kong Taikoo Shipyard on the verge of collapse, I could further consolidate my father's position in Hong Kong and even the British government, and deepen the relationship with the British royal family and the British financial community; Secondly, in addition to the qualifications and technology for the manufacture and repair of civil ships and the manufacture of small military vessels, the Hong Kong Taikoo Shipyard also has the concession qualification for arms manufacturing and arms trade! ”
Feng Jingzhai was stunned for a while, and nodded again and again: "I finally understand!" No wonder my father-in-law quietly acquired the Hong Kong Taikoo Shipyard, which no one looks down on, and invested so much and acted so fast, on the other hand, it is not a gamble! ”
Zheng Xuan finally made it clear: "Speaking of which, the second brother would rather not have the shares of the family's most important news group and real estate company, but instead invest in the machinery manufacturing company, completely for the sake of the overall interests of the family?" ”
Zheng Heng nodded: "That's true, but there is one thing you may not see, the second brother may be more optimistic about the machinery manufacturing company that his father acquired, and he has the ability to develop and grow this machinery company...... I have to admit that we are not as good as him at this point, and we can't blush even if we want to! ”
