Sweat is very similar to tears, at least Du Zicheng, who is idle now, has discovered this. His two squads were also slumped on the ground, and the other brothers of the left detachment brought by He Dazhuang were helping the clerk to clean up the scene little by little, most of the outside of the building was smoked black, and there were open fires in the shops in some places, and there were piles of debris on the ground, and sewage flowed sideways. Fortunately, none of the customers were killed or injured, except for a few guys who sprained their ankles when they were evacuated, and everyone else hid unharmed in the clubhouse on the third floor of the tower and the supermarket under construction on the ground floor. Soon, the casualties were counted, four clerks and shopkeepers in the building died, two were seriously injured, and more than a dozen were slightly injured. Almost all the shops on the northeast side of the building were burned down, and the casualties were certainly not small, but they haven't been cleared up yet, so it's hard to say. The main defense in the hospital is the insurance team of two squads, 15 Daguanyuan security teams originally recruited by the Chamber of Commerce, and 20 firefighters. Now the insurance regiment killed 2 people, seriously injured 3 people, almost everyone hung the lottery, the security team killed 3 people, seriously injured 5 people, the others were also injured, the fire brigade did not die, but there was a fire brigade guy who was burned by the fire, it is estimated that he could not stay up until dawn, it seems that the fire brigade sprinkler is an expert, and the ability to set fire is a little rougher. The explosion on Ximen Yongdao just now not only defeated Ximen's boxers in one fell swoop, but also affected their own people, and one of the insurance regiment's dead and two seriously injured were the four guys who had just shot the kerosene truck. He Dazhuang was also tired and couldn't sit on the ground drinking the cold water in the kettle, the right detachment was still chasing the bandits, and most of the members of the left detachment were a little out of strength, but fortunately, the straw bale branch in the Daguan Garden was opened at the south gate, and this time there was no disaster. Now everyone has a basket of steaming meat buns, and many team members are squeaky by the hot soup, but the buns are delicious and hungry. Miss Wang has recovered some strength, boiled a pot of hot water, took out her uncle's good tea, made a big pot, and is sending water to the team members one by one, the owner of the porcelain shop simply took out a new tea bowl and sent it directly to the hands of the team members, the team members ate straw buns, drank the tea sent by their future wife, one by one, their hearts were happy, and the team members who quickly recovered their strength began to help Qingyun the body of the boxer, pulled it to the square to chop off the head, and the headless corpse was thrown on the cart. When the big animals come, they will be pulled away.

"By the way, Da Zhuang, how is the old camp?"

"It's not a big deal, and more than two hundred people have died. Thanks to the young master Xiao of the Xiao family in Ping'an Town, we were not fooled, and we beat the bandits without beware, and then Uncle Wei came with the brothers from Lashan, and it didn't take much trouble to wrap those bandits with dumplings. We didn't have a few minor injuries here, and we were all alive. ”

"That's good, or I don't know what to say when Boss Wu comes back? If the bandits hurt the brothers in the old camp because I entered the city, I would not have the face to see them. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to the old camp and let Lao Wei take the right detachment to guard the city, and our left detachment will go to Lashan for training. Let the trained recruits take care of the old camp first, and there is no threat now anyway. Hey, I really want Boss Wu to come back from Shanghai soon, I don't know why, just now I saw the ferocity of the bandits on the tower, the first thing that came to mind was that Boss Wu and Miss Du were there, it must be foolproof, unlike me who was in a hurry, and almost let the Grand View Garden lose his hand. ”

"Who said it wasn't, if the boss is here, even if Miss Du is here, those two boxes will be crossed, and he will be disciplined to kill a piece of armor and not drink back." This big strong boy shoe sang directly to the play as he spoke.

The two of them talked lively, but they didn't know that the backbone of their hearts, one was engaged in another bloody and more dangerous struggle with the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce on the beach, while the other had rushed to Qingdao with two guards, and would arrive at Jinan Mansion in three days.

"It doesn't matter at home, right?" In the carriage, Boss Miao saw that I was indecisive, afraid that I would be distracted by the affairs of Jinan Mansion, so he deliberately asked me. The German businessmen talked well yesterday, and the preliminary intention to build a bicycle and gramophone branch in Wolfsburg, Germany, has been reached, and the relationship with several German trading companies has also been contacted, Shandong is after all Germany's sphere of influence, and my British partner may be a big backer for the Qing government, and for the Germans, I am afraid it is a thorn in Shandong, so it is also very necessary to communicate properly and share the cake or something.

"It doesn't matter, it's just the size of the loss, there are a few lives, but the Chamber of Commerce and the insurance group are fine, fortunately, if the bandits get their hands on it, Everbright Guanyuan will let people light a fire, and then take a hundred and ten lives, it will be enough for our Chamber of Commerce to drink a pot." Forget it, I'm not for this loss, but I have a habit. ”

"Hey, your habits, tell me about it."

"Someone is thinking about me in the dark, and if this person is not a dead man, I will not be able to sleep well."

Zhu Zhiyao, Rong Zongjing and the heads of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce are waiting at the gate of the Chamber of Commerce, after getting off the carriage for a while, the guests and hosts all entered the Chamber of Commerce and sat down, but let a few of the Qing Gang Bao who was monitoring at the door was very surprised, and thought it was a member of the imperial court or a foreign gentry, so that several big bosses of labor were waiting downstairs in person, my age really could not arouse their interest, and Brother Miao had many people who knew him, and knew that he was a businessman sitting on the ground in Shandong, so Bao inquired and had to make up FAW, The most outrageous thing is that I am the illegitimate son of Prince Gong, and for the sake of Aixinjueluo's family's money bags, I asked the rich man in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to discuss the sale of red tops, which is simply admirable, if such talents are in the next generation, how can it not be the turn of a certain God of Wealth to mix into the screenwriter team.

The time in the morning was consumed in the circle, and the afternoon was the opening ceremony of the new factory, so we naturally did not want to talk deeply. When the smoke of firecrackers dissipated, when we sat down in the factory, most of the foils had already left, leaving Zhu Zhiyao, the Rong brothers, and an old man with white beard and white hair. Several people tasted Shifeng Longjing, but no one spoke for a while, and when the child removed the residual tea, changed the water and brewed it again, Zhu Zhiyao opened his mouth first.

"Brother Chenxuan, Brother Deqing, this trip to Shanghai, your Chamber of Commerce has gained a lot, right?"

"Where, I just renewed an appointment with the people of the Montagu family, mainly to give your brother a cheer, but the biggest gain is that I am fortunate to see the demeanor of the seniors in the business world of Jiangsu and Zhejiang today, which is enough to comfort my life."

"You're welcome, brother Xian, what do you think should be the next step for my new factory? You are the top spot in the machinery industry of the Qing Dynasty, the first to sell your own industrial products to England and France, and you have to give my brother a move. ”

"Your brother's new machine factory is a heavy industry, my brother's standard factory is just an assembly factory, and the parts are still made by your brother, and I am afraid that the top spot is still the products of the new factory."

"Hahaha," everyone laughed.

"I just said that I am not qualified, but if the seniors don't think the kid is rude, I'm a little foolish, I want to ask you for some advice."

"Well, Brother Xian, you just have an open chat, my brother really wants to hear your ideas."

"If you want to talk about this industry, especially heavy industry, our Great Qing Kingdom can be regarded as a heavy industry, but Han Yeping and a few coal and iron mines in the north, but they are all simple mining and rough processing. We have never mastered the real core of heavy industry, and without the steam engines of the British, the hardware tools of the French, the lathes, generators, electric motors of the Germans, and even the technicians of the foreigners, what is left of our factory, an empty factory and a group of workers with hammerheads and shovels. I don't want to hide it from you, I imported a batch of milling machines, planers, and stamping machine tools for several government-owned enterprises and standard factories in Shandong this time, you know what the price is, not counting the customs tariff and the difference between gold and silver exchange, Alfred ordered Siemens and Krupp machines in the name of their family, the price is two-thirds of the price of the machine for Japan's Hachiman Steel, which is still the price they have peeled off a layer of skin, and the amount of Hachiman's purchase this time is more than five times that of ours, but that's it, the price given by the Germans is still 40% higher than the price given to the British Above. Why? We don't have such machine manufacturers in the whole of Asia, but the Germans and the British have a choice, and their manufacturers can choose to buy the Germans and their own country, and there is competition to have a market price. So this time the machines I ordered are all industrial machine tools, as long as the power and raw materials can keep up, we can build our own machine tools, and the machine tools produced by a machinery factory can drive the surrounding downstream industries. For example, if your new factory can produce milling machines, planers, stamping machine tools, steam engines, generators, and electric motors, I can buy your Lao Zhu's machine tools to set up a textile machinery factory, and Brother Rong They can buy my complete sets of textile machinery and expand textile enterprises. We can do it ourselves, from top to bottom, from iron ore, mulberry leaves to silk pajamas, we not only leave the money in all links, but also export machines to earn money from other countries in the future, so brother, I suggest that you also start with the grinding machine, textile machinery parts, and wearing parts of the ship, first make money and then develop, go against the current, develop to the source, sooner or later one day can produce their own industrial machine tools, and never seek foreigners. ”

"Okay, okay, little brother's words, the old man was taught, I think when the old man founded ** silk weaving, the silk reeling machine was picked up by the foreigners eliminated rags, but the price is more expensive than the new machine, the old man ruthlessly sold the ancestral property to make up enough silver, six years, the first six years are to pay off the debts of these foreigners' machines." Lu Xiaotong Lu Lao's beard was windless and automatic, obviously excited. "It's just that this machine needs drawings and technicians, and we want to say the Four Books and Five Classics in the Qing Dynasty, which is a large number of talents, but there are very few talents who can understand machinery and industry, and the connivance is also surrounded by foreign banks and several government-run enterprises, where do we poach people."

Lu Lao's words, everyone fell into hesitation from the excitement of industrial salvation, yes, the bottleneck of talent and technology cannot be broken, everything is just a flash in the pan.
