With the increasing number of domestic immigrants, some bankrupt Chinese who made a living in Nanyang also came to Zhenhua's station, and Zhenhua also continued to import industrial products in this process, and slowly formed a small market near the sea.

Chen Kah Kee is what a person, the later Nanyang Chinese business leader, although he is not Zhenhua's person, but he is the general head of the Baath Party Nanyang, after seeing the huge potential of Zhenhua station, he used his contacts to start attracting investment, and constantly standardize the market, and Zhenhua joined hands to organize the market management department, formulate management regulations, and the escort team is also responsible for maintaining the order of the market while recruiting new people.

Nanyang Group imitated the development model of Zhenhua in Pudong, first established Phoenix Sports, established a factory, and first established the Phoenix Factory without affecting the reclamation, Nanyang is sparsely populated, so the Phoenix Factory occupies a particularly large area, with sufficient funds, the Phoenix Factory was quickly established, and the badminton rackets and other sporting goods that were put into the market in advance have opened the market for Zhenhua, so the Phoenix Factory has a steady stream of orders at the beginning, and the funny thing is that the people who were originally sent from China are going to engage in the reclamation business. Unexpectedly, most of the people who arrived in advance were intercepted by the Phoenix Factory.

Lu Xiaoyu's father heard that there was a market to do, and Lu Xinpei, who had a keen sense of smell, rushed to Nanyang non-stop, and bought a piece of land in Zhenhua's hands to build a garment factory, and also brought a large number of domestic Chinese.

Chen Jiageng will naturally not let go of the building near the water, and opened the canning factory here, because the Phoenix Factory was established first and has the greatest influence, everyone will call the spontaneously formed bazaar Phoenix Market, and many Chinese businessmen have also rushed into the Phoenix Market and began to buy land to build a warehouse, and even the Chinese businessman Huang Zhonghan has also established a Jianyuan warehouse on the Phoenix Market.

Seeing the majestic development of the Phoenix Collection, various problems have gradually emerged, Chen Jiageng asked Zhenhua's construction company to plan the market, docks, roads, sewers, commercial centers, residential areas, entertainment centers, etc.

The building of the Phoenix set adopts a combination of Chinese and Western styles, the foundation and the main body are mainly tall and strong, the top is the cap of the orthodox Chinese building, I never wanted to build down the atmosphere and beauty, so other businesses have also adopted this architectural design, one building after another rises from the ground, Zhenhua's construction company naturally does not have so much energy to help so many businesses build houses, so these businesses retreat to the second, pay for the design and guidance of the construction company, they find someone to build by themselves, this is terrible, Another large number of people poured in.

Li Luqing is very discerning, before he left Nanyang to go to the Northeast, he had already asked to build an ash factory and an iron-making plant, with the crazy construction speed of Phoenix Collection, the products of the ash factory and the iron-making plant were also in short supply, and they were finished before they left the factory, and the two factories were also in a frenzied expansion.

Zhenhua has never treated his employees badly, so the first batch of hungry people from Nanyang who arrived in Nanyang were lucky, and they each got a piece of homestead, with Zhenhua's guarantee, they can take out a loan to build a house in the Nanyang branch of Shanghai Commercial Bank, not only can they live by themselves, but also can be rented to the merchants who later entered the Phoenix set to do business, and the organic spirit directly organized their families to start buying and doing business, just like that, the hungry people who can't afford to eat in China have begun to make a fortune in a short period of time, and everyone can see it. The future of the Phoenix set is promising.

I have a good life, I began to send a telegram to the country, so that relatives and friends in my hometown hurry up to Fenghuangji, take advantage of this gust of east wind to live a good life, so Zhenhua's Nanyang Group's reputation in the country has also opened, and now Zhenhua no longer needs to pay to recruit refugees, and there are constantly poor people in China who sell their poor family property and go to Shanghai to buy tickets for Nanyang, and one by one they are invested in the construction of Nanyang.

The increase in the flow of people, naturally also prompted the development of all walks of life, although the local aborigines were shocked by the iron and blood of Zhenhua in the early stage, but there are still a lot of aborigines who can't eat, and vicious incidents such as theft, robbery and rape will still occur from time to time, no matter how capable the escort team is, it is impossible to pay attention to all aspects, so the overseas Chinese businessmen couldn't stand it, and unanimously asked Chen Jiageng, who was responsible for managing the Phoenix Collection, to build the city wall, and was even willing to pay for the money and manpower to build the city wall, so Phoenix City came into being. Chen Jiageng also naturally became the first city lord of Phoenix.

"And how many people are there in Phoenix now?"

Xu Ruohan, who was busy with his work, asked.

"According to Mr. Jiageng's statistics, there are more than 25,000 permanent residents, and there are more than 50,000 floating people at home."

Chen Xuan gasped, but in five or six months, Phoenix City had grown from a remote wasteland to the size of a medium-sized county town, and the number was still expanding.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but sigh with Chinese creativity, remembering that the real estate industry in later generations would basically grow explosively as long as it was profitable, and everything would not be a problem with capital, speed, quantity, etc。。。。。。

"Report!"

The sound of You Ling outside the door interrupted Chen Xuan's train of thought.

"Come in!"

"Report to the instructor! The results of this naval battle have already been counted, our brothers lost 8 killed, 4 seriously wounded, the rest lightly wounded, sailors 6 killed, 5 seriously wounded, 11 lightly wounded. ”

You Ling's eyes were slightly red, the three squads that went to Nanyang this time lost more than one-third at once, it can be said that it hurt his muscles and bones, Chen Xuan also felt a little gloomy and guilty in his heart, he knew the purpose of going south this time.

"Double the pension, I will make up for the amount that exceeds the prescribed part of the escort team, and the personnel who cannot go to the battlefield after being seriously injured must also arrange their work, so that their brothers can not have worries, and the dead sailors will also be given more pensions!"

"Yes, thank you, instructor! In addition, according to statistics, we killed a total of 115 pirates, captured 12 armed pirates, 36 pirate sailors, captured 156 Western long and short guns, 12 cannons, ammunition is not counted, and some pirates looted materials and gold and silver coins, the specific amount we can not estimate, in addition to a 1,500-ton steam-armed merchant ship, a little repair can be used, we are now on the ship is afraid to be overhauled. ”

"Give all those captives to Sun Zhiheng, doesn't the reclamation company need labor, these people will be sent to the reclamation company to be guarded by the escort team, as long as they don't starve to death, let them do the mining and mining of stones or something, by the way, which country are these pirates from?"

"It's very miscellaneous, both in the Netherlands and Spain, as well as Japan and the local natives, they are all scum who kill people without blinking, and it's cheaper to not kill them."

You Ling said viciously.

"Brother, you are wrong, sometimes it is more unacceptable not to kill than to kill, leave it to me, they will definitely have a good life!"

Sun Zhiheng hugged You Ling and said comfortingly.

"Yes! Thank you, Captain! ”

You Ling and Sun Zhiheng have known each other for a long time, although Jiang Fangzhen is now the chief captain of the Shanghai Escort Team, but You Ling habitually calls Sun Zhiheng so.

"You go and get busy with you first, I'll invite a few brothers to drink at night, and when you get to the battlefield, how can there be immortals, and slowly you will get used to it."

Sun Zhiheng's eyes revealed some coldness and firmness that did not belong to his age, it seems that this period of time has not been less hard, and people have become a lot more mature, Chen Xuan only paid attention to Sun Zhiheng at this time, Sun Zhiheng's complexion has obviously darkened, and his capable and strong body is more explosive than before, and he is in a state of being ready to attack at any time.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you!"

Chen Xuan said sincerely, in later generations, Sun Zhiheng's age was still in the stage of just entering the university to pick up girls during the day and play games at night, but now he has to take on the important task of Zhenhua's development in Nanyang, it can be said that Sun Zhiheng's escort team is basically the cornerstone of the entire Nanyang Group.

Sun Zhiheng smiled a little embarrassed.

"In the evening, I will ask your sister-in-law to cook some dishes you like, and our brothers will have a good drink!"

"Sister-in-law can also cook?"

Sun Zhiheng pretended to be surprised and said exaggeratedly:

"It's a pity that the eldest brother and the bad ghost didn't come, otherwise our four brothers would have gathered again."

"Dead Brute, don't you look down on me, what do you want to eat, you say, I'll do it for you, by the way, Manniu, you're not too young, how about I find you a daughter-in-law, do you like a schoolgirl or a young lady from a gentry's family?"

Sun Zhiheng blushed and couldn't speak.

"Ouch! Will our heroes still be shy? ”

There was a burst of cheers from the ground, Chen Xuan ignored Xu Ruohan, who made fun of Sun Zhiheng, picked up the binoculars and looked in the direction of the cheers of the guards, only to see a fleet coming from afar, a total of seven ships of three or four small, with Zhenhua's fire phoenix flag fluttering on the ship, it was obvious that the pirates were caught up, and a pirate ship was captured and the two small boats that the escort team captured and discarded were also dragged back, as for the remaining pirate ship, I don't know whether it sank or escaped.

"It's Brother Fang Zhen and Xuefu who are back, they should have won the battle."

Chen Xuan said happily, Sun Zhiheng raised the telescope in his hand, looked at it and laughed, Xu Ruohan also grabbed Chen Xuan's telescope and looked at it, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't forget to hand the telescope to Xia Yunru and let her see it.

After this life and death together, Xu Ruohan, who was originally a little dissatisfied with Chen Xuan's beautiful secretary by his side, seemed to be closer to Xia Yunru.
