Chapter Seventy-One: Bidding on an Unprecedented Scale

With the arrival of external engineers, Xinjiang's industrial construction has slowly kicked off ~~~~~~

On August 18, 1915, a tender advertisement was published in the "Declaration", which caused a huge sensation among the Chinese industrial and commercial circles, foreign consuls in China, and commercial representatives of the countries in the concession.

For a while, the world's eyes turned to the newly appointed governor of Xinjiang Province in China.

In the name of the Xinjiang Provincial Government of the Republic of China, the Xinjiang Metropolitan Government issued a huge industrial infrastructure construction plan, which includes:

20 cement plants with an annual output of more than 500,000 tons; 25 thermal power plants with an installed capacity of more than 200 MW; 50 steel mills; 15 coal mines; 7 iron mines; 2 gold-copper associated mines; 20 cotton mills; 5 fertilizer plants; two steam locomotive production plants; five chemical plants; two oilfield exploration projects; The three automobile factories, one of which is a truck production plant, are investment projects that the second master and Ford have long agreed to build factories.

(Modern fertilizer was invented in 1840 by the German chemist Dr. Liebig).

The above projects were announced in the form of international tenders.

As long as you have the ability to build, you can apply the bid. In this era, there is no such thing as a qualification certificate, and there is no such thing as a bidding deposit.

So how can he, the governor of Zhang Dadu, guarantee that the target is not indiscriminate?

These two goods naturally have his own methods, and there are many tricks in the future! With just one move, he blocked all the international crooks who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

All successful bidders must pay all the project money in advance, and after the completion of the project, the Metropolitan Government will hire the world's top engineers to pass the inspection and acceptance, and then all the costs can be reimbursed.

For this reason, Governor Zhang secured 800 tons of gold and 1,500 tons of silver from his personal property, and obtained the endorsement of Citibank's guarantee of solvency. and published it to the world.

So far, all doubts about the solvency of Zhang Dadu have been dispelled.

He Zhang Dadu had to mortgage in his personal name, so much wealth that person is not blushing?

If you mortgage in the name of the Overseer's Office, in case the government of the Republic of China transfers local finances in the name of the state, should you or not?

So these two goods played a little trick.

The above is only part of the international tender. This part of the project can also be participated in by any domestic consortium and capable family business.

In addition, the second master also listed a separate bidding content for domestic industry and commerce.

Bidding for the construction of a comprehensive university town, supporting secondary schools and 200 basic primary schools; construction of all roads and railways in Xinjiang; all water conservancy projects in Xinjiang; and 15 new cities that can accommodate millions of people (of course, the design drawings of modern city construction were also stolen by Governor Zhang Dadu. )

These new cities are: Altay, Tacheng, Karamay, Urumqi, Turpan, Hami, Yining, Aksu, Korla, Kashgar, Hotan, etc.

These construction projects have low technical content and high labor density.

It is suitable for domestic business and commerce.

The key is high labor density! See the "sinister intentions" of these two goods! After the construction of the city, the army of builders still wants to return to the mainland?

I will assign you a job for nothing, and I will give you a house in installments at a low price for a fee, will you stay or not? The peasants give you the land to cultivate for nothing, the rent rate is 30%, and the surplus output is purchased by the Xinjiang Metropolitan Government at the annual protective price of agricultural products. And rent-free for five years. Do you stay?

The last eye-catching "Xinjiang welcomes you" recruitment advertisement jumped on the page.

You don't have to worry about finding a job in Xinjiang! The Xinjiang Governor's Office guarantees that everyone who comes to Xinjiang has a job, a field, and food.

All enterprises in Xinjiang implement the "minimum wage guarantee system", and the salary of each worker participating in the work shall not be less than 2 yuan per month!

Beautiful Xinjiang is looking forward to your arrival!

Registration and reception office for people entering Xinjiang: Hami Reception Camp.

Ooh! ~~~ This is simply a thunderstorm! It's blown upside down!

The second master is planning to enter socialism ahead of schedule! Which country in the world today has such a policy?

Not to mention the attraction to the Chinese people, it is the European countries that heard the news, and the people who were struggling in the war all want to vote for the "Garden of Eden" in Xinjiang~~~ It's just that they have no way!

For a time, the number of Chinese people going to the west gate skyrocketed. The second master's series of measures are more effective than any immigration policy. What major migration in Chinese history was not forced by the imperial court?

So Zhang Dadu is a cunning "thief head"! His move is the weakness of the common people.

But some people are happy, and some people are unhappy! The Russians, British, and Japanese, who had been peeping into Xinjiang for a long time, submitted diplomatic notes to the Beiyang government.

They demanded that all construction rights in Xinjiang be handed over to them and that the Xinjiang provincial government's tender be withdrawn.

The Russians went so far as to suggest that all equipment must be purchased from Russian production, and that Russia must send people into Xinjiang for construction and construction. This is thinking about the law and wants to send people to Xinjiang, and when the time comes, do you know whether it is a worker or an army?

Russia's wolf ambition to occupy Xinjiang is undoubtedly revealed at this time!

The Beiyang government could not stand the pressure of the foreign powers, and sent a telegram to severely reprimand Governor Zhang.

He also sternly warned him that the second master must cancel the bidding and divide the construction of the project equally among the businessmen of the three countries who submitted the note.

The second master received a notice from the Beiyang government ~ hehe~~~

Is there any mistake? This is whether he Zhang Dadudu's personal investment in construction is good! What's the matter with your Beiyang government? Isn't it just the great powers barking a few times! Is that how it behaves in front of the great powers?

How can such a government be trusted by the people? Can't you just look at the situation in the world? Lords of the Upper Ranks, you can't just look at the world? In your eyes, is it always a struggle for power and wealth?

The Beiyang government doesn't know that Britain and Russia are now paper tigers?

The intensity of the First World War has dragged them down and they have no time to look east. And the Japanese were not ready for war at all at this time.

Otherwise, they would not have coveted Germany's rights and interests in Shandong, just like a beggar picking up foreign goods. And only 20,000 people were sent to land in Shandong, and they also dragged the British to embolden them!

Therefore, the second master is not afraid of the clamor of the three kingdoms at all!

It even ignored the Beiyang government's reprimand.

A few days later, the three countries found that there was no movement in the Xinjiang Governor's Office.

In a fit of rage, he approached the Beiyang government again and asked the Beiyang government to remove Zhang Dadu, the governor of Xinjiang, from his post and investigate it.

Your Excellency the President is now dreaming of becoming an emperor! He could not do without the support of the great powers, and he did not dare to offend the three powers.

So a dismissal order issued by the Beiyang government was passed into the hands of the second master.

"The Grand Duke! What to do? We've just got our footing. You're going to be removed from your job~~~~~~"

All the officials in the Governor's Mansion looked at their Governor Zhang solemnly. Everyone is getting ready to make a big difference! This dismissal order has dealt a big blow to everyone.

"What to do? Work continues, let's do what we have to do! Ignore it. ”

Then, in front of everyone in the Governor's Office, he directly threw the dismissal order of the central government into the garbage basket.

"That's it! Don't worry! Some of us have guns, and here the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so what is there to worry about! ”

He, Zhang Dadudu, is also a warlord now, okay! And the biggest warlords.

A warlord should be like a warlord! Disobedience to central authority is not the norm for warlords! He's the Governor of Zhang Dadu now!

Since everyone doesn't care about face, let's flip the table! Anyway, the Beiyang government didn't have a few days to jump! The era of warlord scuffle is coming.

The officials of the Governor's Mansion pondered, yes! ~~~ He Zhang Dadu's power is now stronger than the central government in the country, and he is the largest warlord leader in the country.

Then they heard Governor Zhang Dadu command the herald:

"Notice, all the post stations along the way into Xinjiang will be killed by officials sent by Beijing!"

"Yes! ~~~”

"Are you trying to be self-reliant?"

Professor Su Da stared at Second Master Zhang in an unkind tone. He had to think badly, because Governor Zhang's reputation was not very good.

"What is self-reliance? What do you say? ”

The second master has a black line on his face! It's impossible to communicate with this kind of literati of the old era. Don't you see that I'm strengthening national defense? ~National Defense! A country's defense is not a warlord to protect the territory!

"He did not listen to the dispatch of the central government, and intercepted and killed the government personnel without authorization. What are you doing instead of being self-reliant? ”

Listening to Professor Su's questioning, the second master's voice couldn't help but rise a little:

"What government? The great president who wants to be restored? I think Mr. Su should understand the truth that chaos is not subject to death! In this troubled world, the most bitter people are our people!

Although I, Zhang Pengxiang and Zhang Dudu, are not talented, I don't want to be separated, and I don't want to be self-reliant!

The whole world is turbid, I am alone, everyone is drunk, I am sober! Who else is there to be a great task from heaven?

I'm not going to let it go!

I want to give the people of this troubled world a place where they can take refuge! I want to give the people of this troubled world a hope to live! I want to leave a big space for our Chinese sons and daughters to develop!

I want to tell all the powers that spy on me that we have our own national defense forces, and we have patriotic soldiers who are willing to shed their blood to protect this hot land!

Our hearts are still beating, and our blood is not yet cold! We still have a lot to do!

China should be self-reliant and never eradicated!! ”

"China will live forever!"

Outside the government hall of the Governor's Mansion, there was a loud shout of soldiers in unison!

At this moment, all the people who heard Zhang Dudu's deafening speech shouted in unison with tears in their eyes:

China will live forever! ~~~~~~
