Chapter Ninety-Three: The Nanyang Industry Association

June 5, the second year of Xuantong, is the opening date of the Nanyang Industry Association, this time the industry will not be Chen Xuan in Shanghai held an exhibition can be compared, just covering an area of more than 700 acres is enough to shock the country, the exhibition area of the province and the professional pavilion area, except for a few remote provinces did not participate, even that there are countless exhibitors.

People from all walks of life who participated in the opening ceremony were as high as five or six thousand people, the square was densely packed with black pressed heads, this is still the result of the organizer's screening, those who can enter the venue are people with heads and faces, the square does not know how many people are watching it, the square is full of colorful flags, symbolizing the apricot yellow dragon flag of the Manchu Qing Dynasty occupies the most central position in the front desk, in order to maintain order, the government sent a large number of new army soldiers to guide the command.

At 9:30 a.m., the boiling sound gradually calmed down as the three trumpets sounded.

"Holy Decree!"

A loud voice sounded on the high platform, and then thousands of people knelt down neatly as if they had been rehearsed in advance and shouted long live, Chen Xuan was also in the crowd, so he naturally didn't dare to be different, so he had to dance and kneel with the crowd, but his heart was greasy.

A eunuch in his forties dressed in a Manchu palace costume began to read out, Chen Xuan also claimed to have read a few years, but this kind of prose is like listening to the book of heaven, listening to the eunuch like singing after reading it, basically know every word he heard, but read it sentence by sentence, I don't know what he wants to express, anyway, it is properly lofty, as for the will, it is not so important.

Chen Xuan also saw the eunuch for the first time, because he was not far from Zhang Renjun, the governor of Liangguang, so driven by curiosity, he couldn't help but look up at this middle-aged eunuch with a white face and beard, and his voice was not as yin and yang as in the film and television dramas of later generations, but was full of energy, and his voice spread far away.

Zhang Renjun stared at Chen Xuan fiercely, Chen Xuan didn't dare to look any further, and hurriedly lowered his head, since he came to this world, he still had to abide by it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get along with his head.

After reading the holy decree, two Manchu high-ranking officials talked about the royal grace one after another, asking everyone to abide by their duties as ministers, as for what kind of grace the royal family exerted, these two high-ranking officials did not elaborate, of course, Chen Xuan will not be stupid to ask, the two high-ranking officials are indeed eloquent, indeed masters of Tai Chi, and they have been talking for a long time in the clouds, and Chen Xuan has not summed up what their central idea is.

After the two finished speaking, they invited the British and French envoys to China to speak, and then representatives from all walks of life, and finally Zhang Renjun announced the opening of the park, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, but the interest of the crowd was not diminished at all, and the lively and lively rush to the park, Zhang Renjun was probably tired, but this was the first day, I had to cheer up to receive distinguished guests from all walks of life, Chen Xuan, as a consultant, naturally couldn't run, and also served as Zhang Renjun's translator, which can be regarded as an appearance in front of these Western ambassadors to China, After several ambassadors learned that Chen Xuan was the boss of Zhenhua Group, their interest in Chen Xuan even exceeded that of treating Zhang Renjun, which made Chen Xuan embarrassed.

Finally busy until the evening, sending away a wave of distinguished guests, the governor of Liangguang Zhang Renjun finally couldn't stand it, handed over the work to Yu Qiaqing and other people who were in charge of actually doing things, and surrounded a few high-ranking officials to return to the governor's yamen, Chen Xuan naturally had to follow, and the high-ranking officials who returned to the yamen were no longer holding it.

"Yiyang, don't hurry up to apologize to the princess, the loss is that the prince is broad-minded, otherwise you will be punished for a big crime of disrespect when the decree is announced, and the beheading is light, I know that you have stayed in the ocean since you were a child, and you can't learn any etiquette in a barbarian place like Europa, and those who don't know think you have any unspeakable thoughts!"

As soon as he returned to the official office, Zhang Renjun opened his mouth and scolded, Chen Xuan pretended to be panicked, he knew that it was now the last year of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's control over the Han people was not as good as before, and he no longer shouted and shouted to kill, but since Zhang Renjun had already proposed it, the performance still had to be performed, and he hurriedly asked the prince who announced the decree to ask for guilt, fortunately, Chen Xuan's popularity during this period was not bad, and there were several people who helped to intercede.

"Lord Tai is too worried, our family is just a slave of the royal errands, how dare you call it broad-minded, Yiyang's little cub is also very fond of our family, just look at his ability to help the Lord of the Taiwan Dynasty to handle this errand properly, it is enough to appear young and promising, but if you go to the capital, you still have to follow the rules, the Lord of the Taiwan is not to scare you, if you are not careless in the capital, you will be doomed."

Wang Gonggong's later words were said to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan hurriedly thanked him, even if the matter was revealed, and after a conversation, Zhang Renjun explained some things to Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan knew that these bigwigs must have their own things to talk about, so he said goodbye and left, Zhang Renjun was also very satisfied with Chen Xuan's sensible style.

After more than half a month, the number of people who came to visit did not decrease but increased, but fortunately, the on-site management personnel were also familiar with the work process, and there was no need for so many people to keep an eye on it, and the industry meeting was ready to be held for more than half a year, and there were special officials in charge of the specific work, so there was nothing to do with Chen Xuan.

On this day, Xu Ruohan, who missed her husband, went to Jiangning to find Chen Xuan in the name of reporting work, and also brought a group of women's soldiers, and the wives of several high-level people in Zhenhua followed, obviously I heard that Nanyang Quanye would be lively and wanted to come to visit, Chen Xuan had to take two days to accompany these people to have a good visit, with the protection of the escort team, Chen Xuan still has a little face as an adviser to the governor, so he doesn't worry about any big problems.

Under Chen Xuan's understanding, Zhenhua's three group companies have achieved good results, a lot of contracts have been signed, and there are several factories that want to cooperate with Zhenhua.

Chen Xuan then began to Shanghai, Jiangning, Ma'anshan three runs, Xu Ruohan's Hongyuan car prototype car building originally thought it would be very simple, but after the prototype was made, Chen Xuan was still not satisfied, and the time planned to be exhibited at the industry meeting was delayed again and again, until the end of July, Hongyuan came up with a model that satisfied Chen Xuan, a total of two sedans and two off-road vehicles imitating the Hummer of later generations.

After the test drive at the venue specified by the Persuasion Association, the well-informed consuls of various countries made positive evaluations, and the major newspapers rushed to report, after all, this was the first car made by the Chinese themselves, Zhang Renjun made a decision on the spot, sent the car to the capital to the Xuantong Emperor who was only a few years old, Chen Xuan strongly requested, Governor Zhang agreed to exhibit at the Persuasion Association for three days, and then put up lights, Vigorously gave Hongyuan's hard work for several months to the little emperor, and there were only a few propaganda posters left on Hongyuan's booth.

Even so, the reputation of Hongyuan Automobile has also started all of a sudden, the big hat of national pride was suddenly worn on Zhenhua's head, many literati and ink writers chanted poems, and this matter was hyped up, Zhenhua has not even announced the price has already obtained hundreds of orders, after seeing Hongyuan's car, those car shapes on the market today are really dwarfed.

Several foreign consuls pestered Chen Xuan again and asked to cooperate with Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan really couldn't push it, and he also knew that he would only suffer a loss by cooperating with these vampires to start a joint venture company, so he brought Zhao Xuechu and a few people from the Zhenhua Research Center to negotiate patent swaps with these foreign devils, and exchanged some of the patented technologies that Zhenhua urgently needs now.

Get rid of these foreign devils, the mass production of Hongyuan Automobile is also carried out in an orderly manner, Chen Xuan will focus on the Ma'anshan United Steelmaking Plant, and Zhao Xuechu and others together to design and build a variety of smelting workshops, with a large amount of capital investment, a highway slowly takes shape, the track from the mine to the factory is also under construction, with Zhenhua's current technology accumulation plus some engineers from the Hanyang plant, the manufacture of steam locomotives has also become possible, just to catch up with the Western rail transit technology, it is not an overnight thing.

Zhenhua's industry has been a lot, want to take care of everything is impossible, to the end of August, Chen Xuan had to convene Zhenhua's shareholders to plan again, after seven or eight days of repeated demonstration, Zhenhua's talent reserve is still too little, the top decided to focus on the next step of the work to build a factory, Zhenhua to provide technology and management concepts, in the country to establish their own offices in various provinces, to encourage the rich people around the country to invest in the factory.

Today's Zhenhua can be said to be an industrial force that cannot be ignored, and as long as Zhenhua is involved in the industry, there is basically no money, and Zhenhua cooperation with many commercial banks is proof, now early and Zhenhua cooperation and has been following the footsteps of Zhenhua Lu Xinpei, Hong Yunxian, Chang Guixin, Li Zhantang and others are already well-known industrialists in various provinces and cities, and the ocean has a lot of money to collect at home is also eye-catching.

Chen Xuan encouraged the landlords and old fortunes to dig up the silver buried in the yard to invest, not entirely to make their money, the main purpose is to develop domestic industry, for the domestic industrial era to reserve a large number of talents, Chen Xuan is convinced that the Chinese nation is the most able to endure hardships and the most creative nation, as long as they are given the opportunity, they will be able to shine brilliant fireworks.

And it is only a short year before the Xinhai Revolution, if you wait for the country to be chaotic and then carry out industrial layout, then it will be too late, so Chen Xuan mandatory, even if you don't make money or even lose money, you must establish the country's basic industry, after the Xinhai Revolution, the first war is coming in a few years, Chen Xuan really doesn't want to wait for the Yankees to eat alone, there is no way to use advanced technology products in China, so cotton cloth, helmets, clothing and other military supplies must always get a piece of the pie!
