"Report, Chairman Wu and Boss Yu have arrived!" The old man shouted in stiff Chinese.

"Let them in!"

Wu Jintang and Yu Qiaqing walked in with a smile, and the trade with Russia made them both make a lot of money, and the warring countries in the West pestered them every day, asking for the purchase of planes, tanks, mortars, trucks and other new weapons and equipment, and the orders flew to Wuhu Industrial Park and Guanghua Company like snowflakes.

"Greetings to the President!" Yu Qiaqing bowed respectfully.

Chai Dongliang laughed: "Brother Ade is making fun of me? Brother, I still expect you two to get rich! You are my food and clothing, how can I dare to accept your courtesy? ”

The three of them laughed at the same time, and then sat down separately.

After a moment of greetings, Yu Qiaqing and Wu Jintang talked about the current form of exports, the construction of industrial parks in Fengtian and Baotou, and the situation of the foreign powers ordering Chinese weapons and equipment that Chai Dongliang was most concerned about.

"President, we have reached an agreement with the Germans, Germany will give up the remaining part of the Gengzi indemnity, we will build a factory in Spain, provide them with new books and weapons, and at the same time the Germans hope that we can return the more than 40,000 captives in Qingdao to them." Yu Qiaqing said triumphantly.

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Germany can't do it now if it wants to give up Gengzi's reparations, his military power in the Far East has been uprooted, what ability does it have to threaten us?" If I don't send troops to fight his colonies in the Pacific, it's polite! Of course, the prisoners can be given to them, but the weapons cannot be taken away, and let the Germans find a way to transport them away themselves, we will not mix! ”

Wu Jintang frowned and said: "President, Germany's industrial strength is quite strong, as long as we let them buy our weapons, they will soon be able to imitate them, and I am afraid that there is not much point in building a factory in Spain!" ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "I also thought of this, with Germany's strong scientific and technological capabilities, imitation is certainly not a problem, and I don't just want to make the Germans' money, the most important thing is not to let Germany fail too quickly!" ”

Wu Jintang was a little confused, he didn't understand what the Germans' victory or defeat had to do with China?

Chai Dongliang continued: "If the Germans can't get our equipment, then the Entente countries, armed with planes and tanks, can quickly defeat the Germans, so won't this battle be lively?" After the end of the war, we set up so many factories, who are these equipment sold to? ”

Yu Qiaqing laughed: "The great president is high! Fortunately, the president did not do business wholeheartedly, otherwise where would I have survived? I can only go back to my hometown in Ningbo and eat old rice with a big bowl of coarse porcelain! ”

Wu Jintang also laughed playfully.

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Besides, once Britain, France, and Germany have the planes we manufactured, then the battlefield will not be divided into front and rear, and aircraft air raids will cause great trouble to the production in the rear!" I dare to conclude that once both warring sides have aircraft capable of long-range bombing, the industrial production of the countries in Europe will be greatly reduced, and the maritime trade will also be greatly affected! When the time comes, the Germans, the French, and the British, even if they break the technical barriers of our weapons and equipment, will still have to pay for our supplies???? I want them to pay back the money they have earned from China over the years, even the principal with interest! ”

Yu Qiaqing was moved by the wonderful prospect outlined by Chai Dongliang, pouted his goatee and smiled: "If that's the case, we won't be able to eat all the money we make in ten lifetimes with broken legs!" ”

Chai Dongliang smiled slightly: "Brother Ade's ambition doesn't seem to be big enough!" How much can a person eat in ten lifetimes with just one mouth? My ideal is to let every corner of the world use Chinese products, let the chimneys of every factory in China smoke, every machine runs around the clock, and let foreigners be proud of using Chinese goods! It is also necessary to let every Chinese child have a school, every Chinese family can have no worries about food and clothing, and share the benefits brought by the country's development! ”

Yu Qiaqing was suddenly stunned, he didn't expect Chai Dongliang's ambition to be so big, starting from the foreign affairs movement, all the Chinese thought about was to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and resist foreign humiliation! By this standard, Chai Dongliang has done it easily, the Battle of Qingdao and the shame of the Sino-Japanese War, more than 40,000 prisoners of war were imprisoned in the three prisoner of war camps in Qingdao, Longkou and Jimo, and the Jiaoao concession has been recovered, and now the Chinese Navy, under the protection of seaplane aircraft carriers, is constantly attacking transport ships in the Yueben Sea, and the source of raw materials in the Kansai Industrial Zone is almost exhausted, and the ships of neutral countries do not dare to transport iron ore, scrap steel and other materials to the Yueben. Britain, France, Germany, and Austria-Hungary all said that they could give up the remaining part of the Gengzi indemnity and only asked China to sell them planes, tanks, and other equipment as soon as possible. In the hundreds of years since the Mongol army marched west, old Europe had never shed so much blood!

Even if so many people died and so much blood was shed, but neither of the warring sides saw any hope of victory, how long would this kind of trench warfare last, no military strategist could make an accurate prediction!

However, in the Battle of Qingdao, the bombing of the Jianghuai Army and the surprise attack of tanks on the defense line of the Beiling Mountain Army made the eyes of European military strategists, whether they belonged to the Entente or the Central Powers, they also saw the hope of breaking through the death defense line constructed by the opponent with machine guns, artillery, trenches, and barbed wire!

China, a country they never looked at, has now become a lifesaver in the eyes of the European powers!

The recovery of Qingdao, which was a very encouraging result for the Chinese people, Chai Dongliang didn't seem to care, and what he wanted was to establish a paradise on earth that Yao Tianshun said!

This is an ideal that is thousands of times greater than the rich country and strong soldiers, and thousands of times greater than the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties in the history books, and it is an era that the Chinese have been looking forward to for 5,000 years, but it has only appeared in ancient legends!

"Brother Yinfu, Brother Ade, you are the giants of China's business community, I hope you can help me and fulfill my dream, which is also the dream of all Chinese, if we can make China truly a paradise on earth through our efforts, it is just an ordinary thing for the two young history figures Lingyan Pavilion to be worshiped by future generations of descendants!" Chai Dongliang said solemnly.

Yu Qiaqing has long been out of the sky, since he took a stake in Wuhu Industrial Park and Guanghua Group, he almost regarded Chai Dongliang as a bodhisattva of the god of wealth, and now money is no longer too attractive to him, and leaving a name in history is the supreme ideal of almost all Chinese.

"What do you want us to do, President? Just say it, I'll sell you this old life! Yu Qiaqing patted his skinny chest and said.

"President, you are Mei Qi's husband, I am Mei Qi's brother, the Chai family and the Wu family are close relatives, the Wu family can have today's glory, it all depends on your cultivation, you want people or money, even if my Wu family sells the ancestral ancestral hall!" Wu Jintang's face flushed with excitement.

"Good! Just waiting for your words! Brother Ade, Brother Yinfu, I asked you to help me raise 200 million silver dollars in three months, can you do it? ”

"Two hundred million?" The two of them were dumbfounded, they didn't expect Chai Dongliang to open his mouth to be such a big amount!

Although Yu Qiaqing and Wu Jintang are now worth a huge amount of money, and Chai Dongliang's personal wealth has exceeded 200 million, this is all wealth on paper, if a large number of stocks are sold for cash, or a large amount of cash is withdrawn from Guanghua Bank, I am afraid that Shanghai's financial market will collapse, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wu Jintang gritted his teeth and said: "Give me three months, my Wu family can come up with 40 million, and then I will borrow from the Hui businessmen, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to raise another 20 or 30 million!" ”

Yu Qiaqing pondered for a moment: "In three months, our Ningbo Chamber of Commerce can come up with 100 million!" I'm afraid it will be harder to do more! ”

Chai Dongliang nodded with satisfaction: "Then the gap is not big!" ”

Yu Qiaqing boldly asked, "President, what do you want to do with such a large sum of money?" ”

Chai Dongliang smiled faintly: "I want to rebuild Yanjing City!" ”

Yu Qiaqing's mouth couldn't close in surprise, and it took a long time before he exclaimed: "President, don't do it!" ”

Wu Jintang was also dumbfounded, he had long known that Chai Dongliang didn't like Yanjing's dirtiness and crampedness, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to push Yanjing City to the ground, and then rebuild it from scratch!

"President, there are three million people living in Yanjing City! Even if you throw it in, 200 million to rebuild it is a drop in the bucket! With so many people's relocation costs, not to mention him, once three million people leave Yanjing City, their livelihoods will be cut off??? When the people's grievances are boiling, I'm afraid you can't hold it back! "Wu Jintang persuaded hard!

Chai Dongliang was silent at first, and after a while, he suddenly laughed: "You think I'm going to bulldoze Yanjing City and rebuild it, right?" ”

Yu Qiaqing was stunned: "That's not what you mean?" ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Rebuilding is necessary, but there is no need to bulldoze it!" ”

Wu Jintang was confused: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "I want to rebuild a new Yanjing City, which is three to five times larger than the current one, and the old Yanjing City is just one of the urban districts!" ”

"What's the use of building this? Shouldn't you eat or drink, President, wouldn't it be better to spend this money on the expansion of the factory? Now there are so many orders from foreigners, and they can't be busy working overtime! Yu Qiaqing wanted to retreat.

Chai Dongliang smiled: "Brother Ade is afraid that your money will be lost?" In this way, I borrowed it from you, and I took my shares in Guanghua Group, Wuhu Industrial Park, and Sanyi Pharmaceutical Factory as a guarantee? How is it? ”

Yu Qiaqing's old face suddenly turned red, and he said with a stiff neck: "Don't look down on us Ningbo people, isn't it money?" After three months, I can't get 100 million, and someone Yu will come to see me! ”

Chai Dongliang hurriedly comforted: "Brother Ade misunderstood, blame me for not making it clear, come, let you see something!" ”

With that, he took out a roll of drawings from under the official case, and when he opened it, the first thing that caught his eye was a general planning plan.

"This is my plan to build a new Yanjing City, which can accommodate 10 million people, the new city includes the university town, I plan to move several science and engineering and medical universities in Anqing and Jiujiang to Yanjing, after all, this is the capital, and the influence will be greater??? Secondly, build a few of the best primary and secondary schools in the new urban area to attract the rich people in the old Yanjing City to send their children to study! As long as the children go to the new city to study, the parents will naturally move over??? Look at this place, it is planned as an aviation club, a shooting hall, an equestrian club, as well as a dog fighting ring, a movie theater, a dance hall, a billiard room, and a football field??? Here I plan to build the best general hospital??? This is the ??? of the wet market."

Chai Dongliang pointed to the drawings and gushed endlessly, but Yu Qiaqing's eyes were attracted by the rows of small houses marked on the drawings, and he pointed to them and asked, "Then what is here?" ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "This is a low-rent house, with exactly the same specifications, for those who are poor, and charge them two or three cents a month for rent, which is enough to maintain the cost of house repairs??? Think about it, after the new city is built, there will be trams, running water, electric light companies, and telephone bureaus, and after the completion of the new city, the roads in the new city will be straight and wide, there will be trams to sit on when you go out, there will be street lights on the streets at night, there will be all kinds of entertainment venues, it is convenient to watch plays, watch movies, and dance, and the rich people will not move here if they don't get on the poles? After the new city was built, the old city was crushed! The rich people moved to the new city, and the poor people in the city had to count on the rich people to live their lives, regardless of whether they were selling stinky tofu or pulling foreign carts, so that the land in the old city was vacated. It will be much easier to renovate the old town in the future! ”

Yu Qiaqing was puzzled: "This method is good, but I can't figure it out, why bother with it?" If it were someone else, I must have thought that he wanted to speculate the price of land in the new city, and then eat tiles to make a fortune. But your temper and surname, I and the nephew of Yinfu both understand, you are not the kind of money tuberculosis who gets into the eyes of money, and you will not do the business of eating tiles! Since you don't plan to make money here, why bother to build a new Yanjing City? ”

Chai Dongliang smiled bitterly: "It's not that those students should be troubled!" The atmosphere in Yanjing really needs to change, so I plan to recruit a large number of surplus labor from the south to build the Yanjing New Town??? In addition, I would like to create a model in Yanjing New Town to promote the urbanization process across the country! ”

"Why does the president have to bring the peasants into the city? Farming in the countryside is not the same as living? Wu Jintang was puzzled.

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Then you say, is it better to say that the people in the city are better, or are the people in the countryside better?" ”

"Naturally, in the city, even if it is shoe shine and pull a foreign car, it is more money than farming in the countryside!" Wu Jintang said without thinking.

Chai Dong nodded: "Since this is the case, why don't you let the peasants into the city?" China's arable land is scarce, and it is difficult for peasants to farm and support their families, and according to the current momentum of development, within 15 years, China's population will reach 600 million! With so many people, the per capita land area will be less in the future. Only by letting the peasants go to the cities and turn them into workers, merchants, cooks, and carpenters, and let them find a bowl of rice to eat in the cities, can the surplus labor force in the countryside be digested??? In China's rural areas, there are enough people to farm, and only 200 million or fewer people can increase the income of farmers. The greater the gap between urban and rural areas, the more unstable the country will be! ”

Yu Qiaqing sighed and said, "The president has a long-term plan for the people of the world!" I'm afraid that the world will be incomprehensible! ”

Chai Dongliang also sighed: "There are some things that can only be done by our generation!" Taking advantage of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country is in full swing, and it is necessary to promote reform in a bold way, so as to avoid the cycle of the rise and fall of chaos in Chinese history and build a brand-new country! Otherwise, it will be too late to think about reform after the accumulation of shortcomings and rebirth??? Isn't the Qing Dynasty an example? ”

Yu Qiaqing nodded again and again, the new policy in the last ten years of the Qing Dynasty achieved remarkable results, but because of the delay in promoting constitutional reform, the moderate constitutionalists were pushed into the arms of the revolutionary party, and the Qing Dynasty collapsed. At the last minute, when the Qing court was busy rolling out the "Nineteen Articles of Faith", trying to implement a British-style hypocritical constitution and retain the last bit of royal prestige, no one was willing to listen to them.

Wu Jintang interjected: "President, what do you want these two hundred million to do?" I look at such a large renovation and expansion project, 200 million is a drop in the bucket, and the money is still too little! ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "This money will be used as 100 million yuan as the start-up capital of the new city, and some entertainment venues and schools will be built first, and naturally there will be people willing to move here!" For the other 100 million, I want to set up a microfinance bank to lend to farmers who want to do small business in the countryside and have no capital! ”

Yu Qiaqing's face was pulled at that time: "President, isn't it a waste to lend them money?" Even if it doesn't go awry, Zhang San borrows two yuan, and Wang Er borrows three yuan, how many compradors and street runners does the bank need to deal with these many people? ”

Wu Jintang said tentatively: "Otherwise, this microfinance bank is still government-run!" ”

Chai Dongliang's head shook like a rattle: "The official office will definitely not be able to do it!" Even if the street runners and compradors of these government-run banks are all reincarnated, they are as clean as water, they still can't run banks! How can a person who eats official meals be willing to do business with his heart? In this case, I will give you a discount, the annual interest rate of this microfinance bank shall not exceed 10%, but within ten years, the political axe will not levy any taxes and fees on you, which can make up for your operating expenses, right? ”

Both of them were silent, and they didn't want to take this hot potato.

Chai Dongliang was a little displeased: "Brother Ade, Brother Yinfu, the success or failure of the microfinance bank is related to the success or failure of the country's urbanization construction, if the peasants have no livelihood after entering the city, they will inevitably become bandits and worsen the city's public security. Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, if I collapse, I'm afraid it won't be good for the two of you, right? ”

The drum did not need a heavy hammer, and both of them heard the importance that Chai Dongliang attached to this microfinance bank, and also heard the threat in his words.

If Chai Dongliang really falls, Yu Qiaqing and Wu Jintang's words will indeed not be good!

"Why don't we try it? If it doesn't do well, don't blame the president! Wu Jintang looked at Yu Qiaqing, and after the two exchanged glances, they said in unison.

Chai Dongliang shook his head resolutely: "This must be done well, don't be afraid of trouble, don't be afraid of low profits, maybe ten years later, this small loan bank will be your biggest source of wealth!" ”

The two of them smiled bitterly and said, "I hope so!" ”
