"All I can say about this is that the future is bright and the road is tortuous." I deliberately sold it out. However, Miao Deqing saw a clue, and smiled silently on the side. Zhu Zhiyao scratched his scalp, impatiently angry, seeing me and Boss Miao tasting tea on the side without any disdain, he took my hand, "Brother, my brother Chenxuan, please show me Lao Zhu a clear way, you can't draw a big pie to hang high and gluttonous my Lao Zhu." ”

"Hehe, I'll be honest with you, in fact, I really can't solve all your problems." I said deliberately.

"That, how is that good, I originally wanted to expand production capacity, on the one hand, to strive for more orders from standard factories, and to see what else I could make, anyway, I really can't make farm tools and sell well." Old Zhu was anxious and restless, but Rong Zongjing heard the clue.

"Boss Wu, what you said can't solve all the problems, do you have a way to solve some of the problems?"

Rong Zongjing's words made Zhu Zhiyao suddenly wake up, and quickly grabbed my arm, afraid that I would slip away again.

"Brother Xian, if you don't give it to one, two, three today, I will never let go, old man."

"Hehe, don't worry. Do you think it's strange that my standard factory can sell products to Europa? It's not a problem for foreigners to imitate my products with their production technology, so why rush to send me money. I paused, took a sip of tea, and saw that everyone was staring at me intently, so I didn't continue to sell Guanzi" Because foreigners have patent protection laws, even if they can imitate bicycles and sewing machines, they dare not rashly violate the patent law. Of course, foreigners are not gentlemen, and it is inevitable to take advantage of them, but they can't imitate my gramophone and watch, because the core technology, that is, the magnetic head, the watch core gear set, and the high-density track technology are nothing more than their current stage of technology. ”

"Such advanced technology, even foreigners have not mastered it, how can your factory, ah, oh, the old man has lost his word." Lu Lao picked up the teacup and smiled at me, even if he apologized for his gaffe, I also gave it up. In fact, this old fox was not completely unintentional, he also wanted to take this opportunity to see if I could say anything, so that I could listen to some secrets, seeing my faint eyes sweeping over him, he knew that his careful plan could not be realized, so he simply covered up the past by gaffe.

"The younger brother also has some ways, and the details in this are really not enough for outsiders, and I ask you to forgive me. However, when Brother Rong asked just now, the younger brother had a full set of manufacturing drawings for the machines he just mentioned. ”

"Really, oops, thank you so much, dude." Zhu Zhiyao slapped his thigh, excited and indescribable. Seeing that I continued to drink tea with an indifferent expression, I didn't say anything, and I naturally knew what I meant when my eyes rolled.

"Brother Chenxuan, you really didn't say anything to my brother, there is no processing share you gave me, and there is no development of my brother in the past year, my brother's new factory is also equal to yours, so let's not talk about this, my brother plans to transfer thirty percent of the shares of the new factory to you, please don't shirk my brother." Zhu Zhiyao said generously. Lu Xiaotong and Rong Zongjing both looked at each other with a smile and no surprised expressions, but Rong Desheng's face changed, after all, he was young and careless, and he had not yet reached the point where the old foxes were moody.

I was also a little surprised, but I didn't hesitate with the tea cup, "What did the elder brother say, the younger brother can contribute to the development of the domestic industry, but I am deeply honored." When it comes to orders, it's a matter of you selling me and buying you and me, and it's not worth mentioning. Brother Zhu wants to give me shares, but the younger brother is really ashamed of it and doesn't dare to be it. Thank you for my brother's kindness, and ask my brother not to mention the gift of shares again, so as not to be embarrassed when the two families meet. ”

"This, but, I, I'm really dripping" Zhu Zhiyao was full of words for a while, and he couldn't turn around. The old man Lu Xiaotong put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Young people are not greedy for money, they preach morality, and they are people who do great things. Lao Zhu, the old man here rashly came out to build a bridge, we are in business, you standard the two to make a deal, the new factory with three shares to buy the standard factory grinding machine, textile machinery, marine equipment manufacturing drawings, but also trouble Chenxuan to provide a technical guidance, so that the new factory can produce normally, you two to see if the old man's suggestion is feasible, if it is okay, we will bother Lao Zhu in the afternoon to show the success of the cooperation between the two families, do not achieve the two of you in private and then communicate, the old man is also considered to have done his best. ”

"Okay, the old man spoke. I, a junior, should obey. Boss Zhu, I don't know what you think? "I spoke first, since I've been put here, I plan to cooperate anyway, I just don't want to be coerced. Lao Zhu Bai has the promise of providing technical guidance, and naturally everything is not allowed. So the two families had dinner together in the Xizilou of Hangzhou Bangcai to feast on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce to celebrate a grand event in the business circles of Qilu and Jiangsu. The next day, he visited the two bigwigs of the Shanghai Green Gang, drank a morning tea, and counted the grievances with the Green Gang, so he counted these grievances on Boss Yao alone, and even Huang Zhishun, the boss of the Mingzi Gang, hinted that he had a little friendship with Zhu Zhiyao and was willing to do some business. Huang Zhishun has a few plots in Pudong, although they are not as prosperous as Puxi, but for me the territory along the Huangpu River* is very valuable, and it will prove that this is the case.

I made an appointment with Alfred to go back to Shandong, and he went to Qingdao and I went back to Jinan. Before getting on the liner of Swire Company, I passed the conversation with Du Niang, she has returned to Jinan, took over the insurance regiment, the training of the recruit team is basically over, and under the leadership of Lao Wei, I saw blood, and the former detachment can be established, and Du Niang will be the head of the detachment first. The insurance regiment will continue to recruit troops, and more than 300 guys who were not recruited last time are working in the infrastructure department, and there is still a surplus to recruit enough to set up a new detachment. After this incident, I found that it is not enough to emphasize that the soldiers are not too much, although it is more expensive to raise soldiers at present, but the Gengzi country is about to change, and there are soldiers in hand not panic. However, the expansion of the insurance regiment to four detachments plus a recruit detachment is about six or seven hundred people, the scale is not small, the guns are sophisticated, and the well-trained armed guard right army is no more than 10,000 people. However, I also have a plan, on the one hand, to recruit and train a group of security teams, after military training of security guards are usually stationed in each factory two or three teams, the scale of forty or fifty people in three shifts, will not attract attention, but the chamber of commerce has a lot of factories and houses, and the collection is a large force, if necessary, let the security guards withdraw from the security team and assemble it is one or two detachments; On the other hand, it is the problem of the infrastructure company, anyway, there are more than 1,000 infrastructure workers recruited, and the recruit team has to make up the difference, otherwise who will do the new factory expansion and other projects, these people also have military training, they are all young and strong men, only good management, temporary training shooting, instructions and other techniques and tactics, it is tantamount to having a large and invisible recruit team. In addition, I also have a little thought in suppressing bandits and destroying fists, and when the time comes, it is a good strategy to contain and transform some cottage silkworms, and it is also a good strategy to conceal the strength of the bandits.

At the beginning of the year, he took over the government-run Shandong Machinery Repair Institute and Shandong Telegraph Room and the subordinate Telegraph Room Accessories Institute, a total of three or five old oilers made trouble there, Meng Luochuan boss's face and Lao Wei's Jianghu means, soon settled, but now there are only a few standard factory team leaders in charge, waiting for the machines I ordered this time are in place, I also plan to choose a place to expand the plant, add a new factory. At that time, it was also a joint venture between government and business, and the standard factory was not only a hen that laid golden eggs, but also the cradle of our industrial management talents. When I came to Shanghai this time, everyone from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce agreed to recruit Western-style talents for me, and Alfred and they were not idle, helping to recruit technical management talents according to my plan. I was drawing on my notebook the idea of expanding armaments and warfare and developing industry and commerce at the same time, when suddenly a burst of English broadcast from the ship's loudspeaker caught my attention, it turned out that because of hydrological reasons, the entrance to Qingdao Port exposed some reefs, and the Germans were cleaning up and blasting, and the liner did not stop at Qingdao Port, and passengers could choose to disembark at Yantai Port or Tianjin Port. As soon as I pondered, the topography and traffic of the Jiaodong Peninsula, it was possible to get on the train from Yantai Port to Lancun Station, and it was better for me to go to Tianjin first, and wait for the beacon fire of the Yihe Fist to burn all over the banks of the Haihe River, and many original Western buildings would no longer exist. Swire is quite kind in the UK, our first-class and second-class passengers do not need to add additional money, and third-class and cylinder cabins to Qingdao passengers have to get off the ship from Yantai, otherwise they have to make up the difference in price to go to Tianjin.

Another day passed, Alfred and I and a few guards got off the passenger ship, Alfred called two carriages, finally pulled all our men and horses, and in the afternoon we went to the Zizhulin Concession, Quanyechang has not yet been built, so naturally there is no need to see. In the evening, I invited Alfred to eat the famous Goubuli, Alfred was very puzzled by the name of Goubuli, because in the British concept, the status of the dog is probably above the Indian Ahsan, who is high-headed, so the food that the dog ignores is actually delicious, so he can't understand the logic of this anyway, fortunately, the old boy shoes do not have the cleanliness habit of "too much to steal the spring, thirsty and not drink, and the bad name", and do not understand the logic of the dog ignorance does not affect him to pour two cages of steamed buns into his stomach. I and the bodyguards, who were holding the old Ah Tong shoes to walk and eat, were bored walking on the bank of the Haihe River, thinking about the early spring night in the north where a group of big men went shopping, and it was really a river crab that couldn't get up. I was about to go back to the hotel when I was suddenly hit by a man dressed as a Japanese student who had been pushed out of the door of a small inn. Followed by two "street patrol royal historians" wearing tattered horns, they came out, scolding and scolding in their mouths. The gist is that this kid is not authentic, he cut his braids when he went out of the East, returned to China to live in the overlord shop, ate overlord meals, and deserved to be thrown into the Haihe River for winter swimming. Originally, I was just curious, and I was idle anyway, but I was overjoyed by the words of this young student.

"Lao Tzu is Wu Luzhen, a team officer under the command of Master Zhang Zhidong from Hubei Wubei Academy. This time I really went back to China to visit relatives and was stolen and entangled, Lao Tzu's friend will arrive in these two days, but it is just a two-day delay in food and lodging, how dare you bully the imperial court generals like this. "This kid has eaten the overlord meal for two days and is still so hard-mouthed, I don't know, I really think he is Governor Zhang's cronies and nephews.

However, I still know the name of Wu Luzhen, the three heroes of non-commissioned officers. There is a saying that "there is a mistake, I didn't let it go", the front team of this ambassador (group training ambassador) just lacks a detachment leader, hehe, you kid is on the set, go back with Lao Tzu obediently. Alfred didn't know it yet, but when the bodyguards saw my salivating expression, they knew that this kid was a talent, and the boss was moved, so the bodyguards moved intentionally or unintentionally, and circled the three who were in full swing. Just when I was going to charge my head, I shouted at Xiao Er, "This hero and the Sprinkle family hit it off at first sight, Xiao Er, how much wine and silver do you owe, and the Sprinkle family will pay you back together." Hurry up and prepare the food and drinks, and the Sprinkle family wants to get drunk with this hero. As soon as I mentioned it in one breath, before I could say the cliché, I saw a medium-sized police officer wearing a Western-style police uniform running over at the opposite street with a mourning stick, and squeezed into the circle, looked at a few of us besieging the soy sauce crowd, and was about to open his mouth to persuade, but a crooked mouth patrolling the street, and a mouthful of thick phlegm spit on the ground, "Okay, you Wu Ziyu, come to bad Uncle Ben's business again, this is not your territory, and the acquaintances obediently go to the realm of foreigners." Don't let the gentlemen do it, give you a good start. ”

Wahahahaha, this time the dog didn't care about the food, but it made a profit. There is a Wu Luzhen in the front, and a Wu Ziyu (Wu Peifu) in the back, this alley on the edge of the Haihe River is going to stage a "Tianjin Gate Storm, Three Wu Heroes Meeting" today.
