Zheng Yi didn't know that after he left, several bigwigs in the Zhigongtang would judge his own taste, and after leaving the Chen Mansion, Zheng Yi immediately returned home and reported to his father Zheng Lanting and eldest brother Zheng Hengyu about meeting and negotiating with several bigwigs in the Zhigongtang.

Feeling the huge power and amazing wealth of Zhi Gongtang scattered around the world, Zheng Lanting attaches great importance to Zheng Yi's report, and is also willing to do some things to help the Zhi Gong Tang when it is at a low point in development, and is also willing to strengthen cooperation with Zhi Gong Tang in the trade of grain and other commodities and general industrial investment.

However, Zheng Lanting was hesitant about Zhi Gongtang's request to take a stake in the arsenal, because he was very familiar with the history and current situation of Zhi Gongtang, and he was worried that getting too close to Zhi Gongtang would cause displeasure to the Nanjing government and the Kuomintang.

Regarding Zheng Lanting's concern, Zheng Yi didn't think it was a big deal, and after a little consideration, he asked his father: "If the KMT high-level knows that the cooperation between my Zheng family and the Zhigongtang is gradually deepening, what else can they do besides being unhappy?" ”

Before the boss Zheng Heng could react, the scheming Zheng Lanting had already shown a pleased smile: "Well, that's good!" Ha ha...... So, do you want to bring in the investment of Zhigongtang? ”

Zheng Yi nodded honestly: "In the past two years, our family has invested a lot in all aspects, resulting in a bit of a shortage of liquidity. ”

Zheng Lanting felt the same way, leaned back in the chair and sighed faintly: "Yes! In the past two years, the AsiaNews Group has invested heavily in the acquisition of three newspapers and built the largest and best-equipped printing plant in Asia. ”

"At the same time, the office has just been capped, and at least 300,000 Hong Kong dollars must be invested in decoration, which has a total investment of more than 3 million, but it will take five or even ten years to recover the old capital."

"If we add in the real estate company with more than 6 million real estate, the marine transportation company and its wharf and freight yard and other facilities that have invested more than 2 million yuan one after another, and then count the Far East Machinery Manufacturing Company, which you presided over the acquisition and reorganization last autumn, the total investment has exceeded 13 million, and we really don't have much liquidity left."

"Isn't the land acquired by Hongkong Land all about building residential buildings and then selling them? This piece should be able to maintain ample capital flow! ”

Zheng Heng couldn't help but say the biggest piece of industry that Geng was worried about, although he had great respect for his father and respected and feared his younger brother Zheng Yi, but he always believed that he had his own share of the family's huge wealth, and as the eldest son, he was qualified to participate in the core decision-making.

Zheng Lanting is very sensitive to the relationship between his children, listening to the two words spoken by his eldest son Leng Buding, he couldn't help but look at his second son Zheng Yi on his right, seeing that Zheng Yi always had a kind smile on his face, without any meaning of justification, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and turned to his eldest son Zheng Heng at the moment, and asked kindly: "Or, after the Spring Festival, you will hand over the business in Wuhan to your second brother, and bring your wife and children back to help me?" ”

Zheng Heng was stunned, looked at his dark and gentle father, and then looked at the second brother who was smoking leisurely opposite, and he didn't know how to choose for a while.

After an embarrassing silence, Zheng Yi opened his mouth to dispel Zheng Heng's concerns: "Big brother, I think my father's proposal is very good, the development situation in Hong Kong is far better than that of the turbulent mainland, don't give up the worthless title of British Consulate Counselor." ”

"If my guess is correct, it will not take more than two months at most, and Wuhan will become the main battlefield of fierce competition for Jiang Gui's army, not to mention that the family's business in Hong Kong is getting bigger and bigger, and you need to come back to assist my father."

Zheng Heng smiled embarrassedly: "With you, a business genius with a torch of eyes, by my father's side, I have always been very relieved, haha!" ”

Zheng Yi shook his head solemnly: "Big brother, you think too highly of me, you better come back as soon as possible, if you are reluctant to those industries in Wuhan, you might as well convert them, and then transfer them all to me, I will operate them, and then return them to you with interest after a year." ”

"My main business now is arms manufacturing and import and export trade, and my main development direction in the next few years will still be in China, and with the meager name I have broken through in the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, I am estimated to be more suitable than you to preside over domestic business."

"This ...... I still asked my father, I think you've been doing a good job in Hong Kong. ”

Zheng Heng was very willing to accept the generous conditions offered by his younger brother, but he didn't dare to show it, thinking that he had skillfully pushed the decision to his father, who would have thought that his father was even more dissatisfied with him.

Although Zheng Lanting, who was deep in the city, was very disappointed with the pattern of his eldest son, he would not express his displeasure at this time, he had received a strict and systematic modern education and knew how to maintain the relationship between family members, so he would not teach his eldest son a lesson in front of his second son, but the unhappiness on his face was still revealed.

Zheng Yi also didn't want to have a conflict with the selfish eldest brother, and when he saw Zheng Lanting slowly picking up a big cigar and starting to trim it, he smiled and made a request to Zheng Lanting:

"Father, I think it's better to hand over the business in Wuhan to me to take care of, before Xiaofu has opened a trading company in Huhai according to my advice, and also has his own property and office location in the French Concession, as well as the care of his brother-in-law's family, it's a big deal for me to find the Kong family to cooperate, I think, Mr. White of Yinghua Company and Mr. Huddle of Lu Lin Company will give me some face."

Zheng Lanting sighed secretly, put down the exquisite special knife in his hand, and made a decision with a little hesitation: "It's okay, after receiving the inspection delegation sent by Nanjing, you can go back to Wuhan with your eldest brother to hand over." ”

"However, don't say anything about commutation compensation, the little property that our old Zheng family left in Wuhan is not worth a few dollars except for the ancestral house, and it is not a pity to throw it away."

"Just let your eldest brother come back and help me, the largest industry of Hongkong Land Company has really involved a lot of my energy, and slowly I feel a little overwhelmed!"

Zheng Heng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly expressed his willingness to follow his father's arrangement, Zheng Yi smiled and stood up, saying that he had made an appointment with Lloyd's and several other engineers in the arsenal to have a good drink together tonight, and Xu Maofu would come to pick him up later, and after getting his father's permission, he said goodbye and left, and went to his residence to talk to his beloved wife.

That night, Lloyd's and four other mechanical engineers, in the face of Zheng Yi's hospitality and a remuneration of 5,000 pounds, happily agreed to Zheng Yi's request: to draw the design drawings of the Mauser 1924 rifle within a week, write the manufacturing process, and process a set of testing molds.

Zheng Yi finally let go of a big concern, although he could draw the drawings of the Mauser Type 1924 rifle through reverse mapping and write a simple manufacturing process, but the workload was very large, and more than fifteen drawings of the bolt were drawn alone.

Zheng Yi, who is busy with affairs, simply does not have time to do these tedious tasks, and leaves them to his foreign engineers to complete, which can not only solve this problem smoothly, but also deepen the relationship between them through huge remuneration, and lay a good foundation for close cooperation in the future.
