Chapter 034: The Way Home
The importance of guiding and controlling public opinion to a party is very clear to Wang Mo, a later generation. Especially in this era when there are very few channels for obtaining information, if a newspaper can be set up as an official mouthpiece, it will be very beneficial to the survival and development of the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan.
Wang Mo thought about it and decided to give Xu Wenjie a chance to try, so he said: "Xu Wenjie, you and your classmates want to start a newspaper in Sichuan, which I welcome very much." However, if you ask me for financial support, I may need to exercise some control over your newspaper. ”
Xu Wenjie is a young man in the end, and the displeasure and resistance in his heart immediately showed up, and said: "Wang Gongzi, what do you mean by this, do you still want to control what news we don't publish and what news we don't publish?" Newspapers have a free press, and you don't have the right to control us. ”
Wang Mo didn't care about Xu Wenjie's attitude, and said with a slight smile: "Then let me put it another way, since you want me to provide financial support, then convert my funds into newspaper shares." As a major shareholder, it is not too much for me to ask the newspaper to take care of my vital interests when publishing news, right? ”
Xu Wenjie received a new-style education, and he had more contact with Western culture in the concession, but he also understood what it meant to be a major shareholder, and knew that Wang Mo's request was not excessive, but he was still a little reluctant: "But ......"
Wang Mo didn't wait for Xu Wenjie to continue to find a reason to shirk, so he interrupted him: "No, but, this is my condition, you accept it or not." ”
Young people always think about flying high spirits, scolding Fang Qiu, pointing out the country, exalting words, and so on, but they also always feel that press freedom is sacrosanct and inviolable, and they cannot give in to power. Therefore, after Xu Wenjie heard Wang Mo's condition that he could not refuse, his face couldn't help but show disappointment.
Wang Mo didn't want to force Xu Wenjie to retreat, so he reassured: "Don't think about it, it's said that it's control, but it's actually more accurate monitoring." I don't want to interfere with the freedom of the press in newspapers, but when it comes to the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, I need to be careful. As for our Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army, we can pick on thorns and criticize them in the newspapers, but we must not smear them, we cannot exaggerate them, and we cannot incite the people to confront them. You go back and discuss with your classmates, and if you are willing to accept this big framework, come to me before noon tomorrow. ”
Xu Wenjie's expression changed, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he had to leave, according to what Wang Mo said, go back and discuss with his classmates before making a decision.
After Xu Wenjie left, the next person who came in to participate in the screening surprised Wang Mo even more, it was actually a blonde foreigner.
This really surprised Wang Mo, he didn't think that the poor countryside in Sichuan had anything to attract foreigners, either this was a very down-and-out interest-free loan condition that he wanted to speculate on Wang Mo's interest-free loan conditions, or it was the infiltration of certain organizations or certain forces.
Wang Mo personally thinks that the first one may be relatively large, because the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is now just a turtle warlord nesting in Sichuan, and it is not qualified to attract the attention of foreign forces, let alone send people to infiltrate.
The foreigner who came in behaved calmly and confidently, and introduced himself: "Mr. Wang, my name is Carl Richard Wagner, a member of the great Germanic nation, according to your Chinese habits, you can call me Karl." ”
This official dialect in Beijing is a little awkward, but the words are very clear, and it seems that he is still a Chinese expert.
Well, although the foreigner who came to China was very surprised, Wang Mo still asked according to the rules: "Okay, Carl, what kind of factory do you want to run when you come here to sign up?" ”
"To open a mine, I want to go to Sichuan to open a mine, as for what kind of mine, it depends on the specific exploration situation in Sichuan." Carl hurriedly handed over the business plan in his hand to Wang Mo.
Mining? The appetite is not small.
Wang Mo took it and flipped through it, not to mention, the plan was very detailed and professional, and it was estimated that a lot of effort had been put in.
"I'm sorry, Carl, but we don't have the money and technology to develop the mine and the heavy industry." Wang Mo simply refused, because Sichuan, which is poor and white, is indeed not the time to develop heavy industry.
Carl immediately became anxious: "Oh, no, Mr. Wang, technology is not a problem, I can help introduce it." As for the funding, as long as the mine is opened, you can get enough money by selling the raw ore. I have channels to contact steel companies in various countries, and the sale of raw ore is definitely not a problem. ”
Selling raw ore? This is the stupidest option.
"Needless to say, we don't have any plans for this at the moment." Wang Mo rejected Karl without hesitation, but then gave him a new choice, "It's impossible to open a mine, but I still have a power plant project here, if you're interested." As long as I can recruit enough technicians, then I can provide you with the corresponding machinery and equipment, interest-free loans, and installments, how about it? ”
Karl, who had just been quite frustrated by Wang Mo's rejection, had his eyes lit up at this time, and the power plant was also a lucrative project, so he hurriedly responded: "No problem, Mr. Wang, I promise to recruit the best power plant technicians and managers." ”
Later, Wang Mo learned about the specific situation of Carl, who claimed to be a middle-level manager of a German steel company in the Asia-Pacific region, and was dismissed because he offended the young master of a certain director family, so he ran into walls everywhere in the Shanghai Concession.
Wang Mo didn't believe what Carl said. But it doesn't matter, as long as this Carl can really recruit enough power plant technicians and managers to build a power plant in Sichuan, then nothing will be a problem.
After sending Carl away, Wang Mo's investment conference also came to an end. After a busy day, Wang Mo signed a total of 15 cooperation agreements, all of which were light industry enterprises except for power plants.
In addition, Mr. Tang Wenzhi also helped him recruit nearly 100 teachers of various subjects. In this way, not only will the teachers of the Western-style elementary school that has already been built be secured, but also the preparation of the middle school hall will be started.
In general, the conference was a very complete success, and Wang Mo's goals were basically achieved.
Early the next morning, as Wang Mo expected, Xu Wenjie and his classmates finally accepted his conditions and prepared to go to Sichuan to run a newspaper. This made Wang Mo very happy, and invited Xu Wenjie and others to return to Sichuan with him on the spot.
In the afternoon, the pier, the berth of the passenger ship.
Wang Mo and his entourage were vast, and there were not a few people who saw them off, most of them were people from the Four Seas Car Dealership and relatives and friends of Qin Xianglin, Xu Wenjie and others.
"Brother Wang, have a good trip, if you come to Shanghai again in the future, you must remember to be a guest, all the brothers of our Sihai Car Company will never forget your kindness!" Liu Dahai led the brothers of the Four Seas Car Company to see Wang Mo off.
Wang Mo smiled: "What kind is not kind, since they are brothers, don't care about these." If the Qinggang has any actions in the future, and the brothers in the car dealership can't hold on, remember not to fight hard, you can leave Shanghai and come to Sichuan, I guarantee that the brothers will have no problem living without worry. ”
The brothers of the Four Seas Car Dealer all looked at Wang Mo gratefully, and with Wang Mo's guarantee, they could be regarded as having no worries.
Woo-woo-woo-woo
The steamer's whistle sounded, and the passenger ship was about to pull anchor.
"Okay, there is a banquet in the world, brothers from the four seas car dealership, we will meet again if we are fated." Wang Mo waved goodbye to the brothers of the Four Seas Car Company, turned around and boarded the passenger ferry.
Woo-woo-woo-woo
The whistle sounded again, and the ship slowly started and slowly moved away from the dock.
Standing on the deck, looking at the bustling Shanghai that was gradually moving away, Wang Mo was quite touched for a while. He was undoubtedly very satisfied with the harvest of this trip to Shanghai, the teachers of Daxing Education were recruited, the doctors and nurses who were preparing for the hospital were recruited, and the industrialists who developed industry and commerce were found.
As long as these plans are carried out, the development of the southern Sichuan region and even the whole of Sichuan is just around the corner.
The time for the rise of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army was too short, but a few months were like blowing up a balloon, expanding its power to the entire southern Sichuan region, and the foundation was inevitably not solid.
Without a foundation and a foundation, no matter how strong the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army is, it is still fragile. However, as long as Wang Mo's plan goes well, the development of industry and commerce in southern Sichuan will inevitably break the original industrial pattern and create a new group of social classes that can compete with the stubborn feudal forces.
To put it simply, as long as industry and commerce in the southern Sichuan region develop and the people's lives gradually become richer, it will be difficult to find people who oppose the revolutionary army in southern Sichuan.
Everything is developing in a good direction, but at the same time, Wang Mo realizes that he has unconsciously transformed from a pure soldier, and he began to involuntarily, or inevitably intervene in things other than the military. As a traverser, although he was a soldier, he still believed in the information he brought from the afterlife, and used it to plan the development of the Southern Sichuan Revolutionary Army.
When he came to this era, Wang Mo wanted to change this era, but he didn't expect that he was the first person to be changed.
"Wang Mo, blowing the wind here in a daze, what are you thinking?" Lin Yun'er came out of nowhere, interrupting Wang Mo's emotions and thoughts.
Wang Mo looked at Lin Yun'er, who was full of youthful atmosphere, and the emotion just now seemed to disappear in an instant, and said with a smile: "Didn't you talk to Xu Wenjie and them about running a newspaper, are you chatting energetically, and you still have time to come and care about what I think?" ”
Maybe Xu Wenzhuo was trying to resist Wang Mo's plan to control the newspaper, or maybe Lin Yuner was interested, in short, the result was that Lin Yuner was excited to join the newspaper that was about to be formed, and announced to Wang Mo that he wanted to become a great reporter who was famous all over the world.
Referring to the matter of running a newspaper, Lin Yuner was a little bored and said: "Xu Wenjie and they are too, they have discussed for most of the day, and they haven't even decided on the name of the newspaper. Otherwise, just Wang Mo, you can name them, how can you say that you are also a major shareholder. ”
"The name of the newspaper?" Wang Mo muttered, "China Revival News, how about this name?" ”
"China Revival Daily?" Lin Yun'er's eyes lit up, "This name is good, I'll tell them about it!" Then he turned and ran back to the cabin.
Chinese Revival!
This is what many Chinese have been looking forward to for many years, and how many Chinese have sacrificed their lives and careers for this!
"Now that I have come, the rejuvenation of China is no longer just an unattainable dream, but a fact that is gradually realized!"
Wang Mo secretly swore to himself and to the Chinese people in the world from the bottom of his heart
