After seeing off his subordinates, John finally began to open the door. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that what makes people from all walks of life in Shanghai angry is that whether it is in the political, business, or cultural circles, or foreign adults from all over the world, Mr. Huntelaar is still closed, and the only people who can enter the private community through layers of security are the students whom John admitted.

In Shanghai in 1911, the number of these people was huge!

Seriously, in fact, the students John admits are only graduates of the Huntelaar Medical School, but in the eyes of many people, all Chinese who accept the sponsorship of the Huntelaar consortium to study abroad should be considered his students. Chinese is the most important thing to pay attention to, especially in this era, and John's reputation in the medical and physical circles is indeed well-known, so almost all international students regard themselves as John's students......

Today, in Shanghai, there are more than 500 students in John!

A small number of these students worked in the Huntelaar consortium, and most of them either worked for schools at the levels that John had founded, or had started their own businesses with the support of the Huntelaar Bank, running their own factories. In fact, this is exactly what John wants to see, after all, for most people, it is not so easy to control a factory or business, but becoming a teacher is much simpler. And these people who have undergone modern education and at the same time lived in virtue for several years become teachers, and there are so many things that can be brought to China.

For two or three weeks, John feasted guests!

In fact, he had already sent the news out to Yan Fuqing, who came to Shanghai with the same issue, so that those who planned to visit John would be calm and wait patiently for a while. Because after arriving in Shanghai, John had to take a break and then deal with internal affairs. After everything was taken care of, John naturally opened the door to welcome the students he valued.

For a time, this closed community was full of traffic and lively.

There are hundreds of local students in Shanghai, plus students from the surrounding Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and even students from Hubei and other places have also rushed to the door, and the number of people is extremely large, so it is naturally impossible to come to the door at the same time. Therefore, under the organization of Yan Fuqing, everyone was divided into more than a dozen waves of people, mainly based on the industry they are engaged in, and came to visit their "teacher"!

During this time, John was definitely in pain and happy.

The pain is to receive dozens of people every day, understand their current situation one by one, ask if they are in trouble now, and if so, find a way to solve it, or order their subordinates to help solve it in the future; Happiness is naturally John is happy to see that these students have returned to China with advanced ideas and technologies, and with sufficient financial support, most of the development in China has been smooth sailing. And under the escort of the Huntelaar Bank, even if China is now in an extremely chaotic stage, no force on any side dares to embarrass them too much!

John was greatly pleased with the speed at which these students were developing!

For example, on the first day, there were students in the textile industry, and three of the first people to return to China opened textile factories, and in just three or four years, their factories expanded several times, and the number of workers increased tenfold! And because the introduction of the latest textile machine developed by the Huntelaar consortium, the product quality is good, the cost is low, and the British and Japanese are all over the country looking for teeth! Therefore, after hearing the good news, John did not hesitate to instruct the Huntelaar Bank to continue to increase their loans to them, support the expansion of the three textile factories, and suggest that some of the students who started later march to the inland provinces, and by the way, take control of more raw material sources......

The most eye-catching thing for John is undoubtedly Meng Fei, who returned to China three years ago.

This guy who "graduated" from the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company began to build his own factory in Wuhan three years ago with a loan of $50,000 from the Huntelaar Bank. It's just that because of the constraints of various factors, Meng Fei has always been very low-key and prepared, buying cheap and advanced equipment from Huntelaar Foreign Company, recruiting and training skilled workers from technical schools, and then introducing and digesting technology from Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company!

Three years later, the weapons manufacturing company, which came to be known as the Mont Arsenal, opened.

As soon as he came up, he released a large satellite to the Chinese, and with the help of more than 30 returned students, with the technical support of his old employer, Meng Fei built two production lines in one breath - a production line of Browning rifles, which can produce forty Browning 1908 rifles per day; A bullet production line can produce 6,000 rounds of ammunition per day or 15,000 rounds of ammunition per day!

This appalling news shocked the warlords of all China!

40 rifles a day, that means 1,200 a month, or 14,400 a year! And this number is only at the beginning, with the run-in of workers and the improvement of technology, the annual output of the Mont Arsenal can reach up to 30,000 rifles and 4 million rounds of ammunition - and it is the best American Browning rifle!

Thirty thousand rifles are not terrible, what is terrible is the ability of such mass production!

With Han Yeping's steel, with the gunpowder provided by the Huntelaar consortium, and especially with sufficient funds, the future of the Meng Arsenal is simply limitless! Because it escaped the impact of the Xinhai Revolution, coupled with the support and protection of the Huntelaar consortium, the development of Hanyeping Company embarked on a fast track, and the annual steel output exceeded 100,000 tons in 1911! With John's funding, more than a dozen foreign students also set up a gunpowder company in Wuhan, which began to take off at the end of 1911......

In simple terms, this is a simple military-industrial complex!

Not to mention that anyone who is interested knows that in addition to Meng Fei, who is good at manufacturing rifles, there are many Chinese students in the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company, and many of them are proficient in manufacturing artillery!

Rifles, artillery!

In China in this era, it is enough to have them.

Therefore, in the process of peace talks between the north and the south, the existence of the Meng Arsenal made Yuan Datou like a man's back, and tried to control the arsenal several times through pressure testing, negotiation, etc., and transferred it to the northern region! It's just that the revolutionary party that now controls Hubei will of course not agree, and the Huntelaar Bank will not agree, so it simply showed the patent and technology authorization certificate and the seventy percent equity certificate of the arsenal, so that Yuan Datou, who tried to reach out, had no choice but to retreat!

In the current situation, Yuan Datou did not dare to offend Huntelaar Bank.

However, Yuan Datou will definitely not give up such a special industrial product as a rifle, so after fierce negotiations, Yuan Datou got the right to buy seventy percent of all products. The price was enough to satisfy him, a quarter cheaper than a direct import from the United States, and even cheaper than a British or Japanese product.

It's just that what Yuan Datou didn't know was that Meng Fei had a lot of tricks left in private.

As an international student specializing in weapons, Meng Fei has a wide range of friends, including a friend who graduated from the West Point Military Academy. These friends basically served in the army of the revolutionary party, so Meng Fei quietly prepared a lot of shares for them, and the price was much lower......

Meng Fei wouldn't say these things, and John wouldn't ask them.

In fact, neither John nor the Huntelaar consortium have the idea of manipulating these international students now or in the future. They are only responsible for cultivating these students, and they will also give strong support after returning to China, whether it is money, technology or protection, to ensure that these international students can develop and grow smoothly. But for their future, John ordered his men to adhere to the principle of non-interference and non-command. To put it simply, even if the factories they invest in will only receive dividends every year and then invest in education and other fields, but no one will give any opinion on who Meng Fei's arsenal products are sold to, or how to sell them.

This is John's principle, and it is also the foundation for them to gain a foothold in China in the future!

Therefore, whether it is Hong Kong or Shanghai, John only sees his subordinates and students, and at most he meets Rong Hong and others, in order to leave a clear impression on China: the Huntelaar Consortium is a purely commercial organization, but it will do some charity in the fields of education and medical care, and will not interfere in any political or military affairs in China!

And......

When the time slowly came to 1912, Yan Fuqing called John, and several people he had been waiting for for a long time had arrived in Shanghai and were about to come to visit...... (To be continued.) )
