Spending money is to make money, and everyone's money is not blown by the wind. If you can't make money, who wants to work with you?

Hu Xiaoyan's simple banquet, why was it able to get everyone's group response? Very simple. Hu Xiaoyan has an elite army that occupies the city of Beijing, and he will be Li Hongzhang's second in the future! Everyone can affirm this. The one who has soldiers in his hands is the uncle, otherwise Cixi was tossed enough by the Gengzi Incident in history, but she didn't dare to touch Yuan Shikai and Zhang Zhidong. I desperately wanted to boil Zhang Zhidong to death and suffocate Yuan Shikai. Why? Aren't they having soldiers on their hands? If the soldiers and horses in Yuan Shikai's hands are surnamed Aixin Jueluo, you can see if Cixi will kill Yuan Shikai after returning to Beijing! I'm telling you to sit on the sidelines! I told you to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! Immediately pull out the five horses and divide the corpses!

Hu Xiaoyan dared to send troops to Tianjin without an order because he left 15,000 men in Beijing. As long as there is any change in the city of Beijing, he dares to kill chickens to show monkeys. However, Hu Xiaoyan was too worried, he killed tens of thousands of Eight-Nation Coalition troops in one go, but he did not scare the Manchu nobles, but he scared the governors of various places! Although the Manchu nobles knew that foreigners were very good. But I don't know to what extent the foreigner is cow, let's just say Yixuan, he has never really killed the enemy on the battlefield! So when I heard that Hu Xiaoyan's new army had killed tens of thousands of foreigners, I just touched my chin: Well, foreigners are not difficult to deal with!

After the banquet, Hu Xiaoyan slowly reached a business of about five million taels with these merchants, among which Zhang Jian, the champion merchant, received almost 200,000 taels of silver as a stake and many shops from all over the country to join. Since Zhang Jian and Tao Chengzhang reached an agreement on the import of Indian cotton, life has been much better. It's very simple, Zhang Jian had insufficient funds in the past, and Tao Chengzhang invested funds. Zhang Jian did not have enough machines and skilled workers. Tao Chengzhang bought the machine and transferred a few people from foreign technicians to help. Hu Xiaoyan took Enming's 50,000 taels of silver, so he naturally wanted to recruit people. Mr. Hans's Apple company, the father-in-law of the United States, is now the most famous talent acquisition company in the country, without him, the salary offered here is the highest in the country. It's just that the place of work has been changed to China.

The reason why Hans was sent to the United States to recruit people was, of course, to weaken the power of the United States, at a time when the United States had just emerged from the economic crisis, and the wages of the workers were not high, and the number of unemployed people was very large. Hu Xiaoyan only paid a large amount of money to obtain skilled workers in countless industries. Those who are familiar with the industrial system should know that the underdevelopment of a country's industry is not based on whether the country's machinery is advanced first, but on the level of skilled workers in this country!

Hu Xiaoyan even has a dream: to recruit all the high-quality skilled workers in the United States! When the time comes, see how the United States rises! You have advanced equipment, but you don't have the skilled personnel to operate it.

In addition to the 200,000 taels that Zhang Jian has here, there is also 1 million taels of funds for the manufacture of light industrial products and the development of markets. At present, most of China's active markets are concentrated in coastal cities such as Guangzhou, Jiangsu, and Fujian. Of course, the commodities developed were mainly in these cities, and Hu Xiaoyan's aim was to squeeze out all the goods from Japan and Russia. In this way, we can revitalize the overall market of China's economy. Especially those small products: scissors, for example? Steel needles? Cotton? Wait a minute. These small things are currently the most high-quality and inexpensive Japanese products, and there is no way to ship things from Europe and the United States to the freight, which is too expensive. As long as Japan's economy is crushed, Japan's hope of competing with China will become slim, and Japan will have to go to war with China in order to open up markets. And Hu Xiaoyan has a good relationship with Japan's big brother, Britain, and British businessmen are currently cooperating happily with Hu Xiaoyan, so naturally they don't want a war between China and Japan, at least Britain won't want Japan to win.

This is the truth of long-distance inbreeding and close attack! As long as Britain, Germany and the United States do not stand out for Japan. Hu Xiaoyan did not believe that Japan could turn the sky over. Hu Xiaoyan is very greedy for Japanese university professors and the machines and skilled workers in the industrial system. If Japan does not go to war, how will Hu Xiaoyan have the opportunity to recruit these people?

And the last four million taels or so were pressed to the automobile industry by Hu Xiaoyan.

The automobile industry is an important part of the development of the modern industrial system. Don't you see countries that don't know how to build cars, and the industry is almost all weak? Why? Because the automotive industry involves more than just the automobile! First of all, the rubber industry! Without rubber, you can't even get the wheels!

With rubber wheels, you have to develop lubricants and bearings. Lubricating oil requires petroleum system, and bearings need steel system and chemical material system.

After having bearings, it comes to car design, which is related to the construction of universities.

Once you've designed it, you have to think about manufacturing, which is steel system and saber manufacturing. There are not one or two parts on a car. As long as the automobile industry develops, it can feed dozens or even hundreds of thousands of parts factories. And these factories can feed tens or even hundreds of thousands of people.

In the end, the engine is needed to make the car. Needless to say, the engine is a thing. The scientific and technological content involved in it is too high, at least for the time being, China cannot handle it. But with Hu Xiaoyan's large financial support and patent support for diesel engines and gasoline engines, plus the support of Shanghai Chengxin University and German engine experts. None of these things are a problem.

After the car is built, it also needs the support of the road system and the oil system.

Look! So many doorways. That is, if China can design and manufacture cars independently. Then China will immediately enter the system of industrially developed countries. China will become a great power in an instant!

The first thing Hu Xiaoyan did after arriving in Shanghai was to send a telegram to the German side, asking His Majesty the German Emperor to provide convenience for his automobile factory. Hans had bought a very small car factory in the United States a year earlier, but unfortunately the nominal car factory was only a car assembly plant. They can't even produce even the most basic iron sheets. I can't sell more than a dozen cars a year. So it went out of business. It's been a year now. The old father-in-law, Uncle Hans, sent a telegram a few days ago saying that production was ready to begin. However, the production is extremely low. Less than three cars can be produced in a month.

Hu Xiaoyan was angry after receiving the telegram! He ordered two sets of production lines, and it will be about next year to be able to get from the United States to Anhui. About 100 skilled workers can reach China by the end of the year. This is also the reason why Hu Xiaoyan is in a hurry to raise funds. When you have money, you can recruit workers, let these skilled workers train them well, and when the machine arrives, you can start working. But of course, Hu Xiaoyan doesn't need the low production efficiency of the United States! He is going to promote the assembly line of the Ford Motor Company in the United States. As for the old Ford? I don't know where to nest yet. The Ford Motor Company also doesn't know if it was founded.

The whole banquet was a great success. Everyone is very face-giving, this is relative. Otherwise, the investment amount of 5 million is for the more than 50 wealthy people present, and a few people can afford it, instead of Hu Xiaoyan wearing out his mouth and letting more than 20 people make a little bit of it.

There are times when you regret it! Hu Xiaoyan firmly believes this. Wait until Ford-type cars are launched in Europe and the United States. Low prices, some designs and advanced driving concepts are sure to cause a trend. At that time, the profits of Hu Xiaoyan's automobile company will increase at a rate of 100 times and 1,000 times! At that time, it was not so easy for these people to want to buy shares.

After the banquet, Hu Xiaoyan spent the next few days at Shanghai Chengxin University, the newspaper and the homes of his nephews. His nephews are similar to him in all grades, although they can't talk about it, but as an uncle, if the nephews don't do a little filial piety, they can't talk about it. Looking at their somewhat fake enthusiasm, Hu Xiaoyan found that he had also begun to learn to smirk! There is no way, Hu Xiaoyan lives in the UK, he hasn't seen each other for more than ten years, and no matter how deep his feelings are, he has become a little indifferent. What's more, there is a generational gap between the two?

A week later, after getting the network in place, Hu Xiaoyan was ready to start studying the unknown thing in his mind, and he called the great scientist Tesla to come to Shanghai very reluctantly.

Tesla very much regrets coming to China! Because since he set foot on the soil of China, every moment, even when he sleeps, there are always two or three students and big men by his side. He wanted to complain: Can you change two blonde beauties? It's a pity that no one paid attention.

Originally, he thought that after completing the two thermal power plants, he could return to China and get rid of the nightmare life, but he did not expect that this group of Chinese did not have the idea of releasing people at all. Although the design of the wireless telegraph brought him a hundred thousand dollars in bills, it did not alleviate his worries.

I was kidnapped. Tesla recognized reality. He tried to call a foreigner for help, but every time he threw out a note or a letter that was secretly delivered, it would appear on his desk within an hour.

Tesla was going crazy, he lost five pounds. Originally, he could have lost weight, but the "student" and the "doctor" told him very "kindly" to take care of his body and eat a lot of "nutritious food".

Soon he gained weight! Tesla was sent to Shanghai unawares.

I'm a human, not a robot! Tesla yelled in his heart. This time I vowed to escape. No matter what method you use, you can only keep my people, not my heart.
