――――

Li Shengguo did not get much investment in these projects, after all, the few projects identified by Xia Jun could not be expanded at the beginning, because they did not train enough employees and were still in the stage of accumulating experience.

However, Xia Jun made a large investment in the rubber company and the bicycle manufacturing company, and Xia Jun exchanged a batch of equipment himself, and at the same time exchanged a batch of equipment drawings, which will be manufactured by foreign companies.

These equipment belongs to cutting-edge equipment, of course, it is impossible to hand over all of them to a company to manufacture, these equipment can be divided into several parts, respectively handed over to the United States, Germany, Sweden and other countries with developed machinery manufacturing industry, among which Germany's machine manufacturing industry is the most developed.

The cost of buying drawing equipment is only one-tenth of that of direct exchange, or even lower, but manufacturing equipment costs money and takes a certain amount of time, but each has its own benefits.

Chen Jiayi went to various countries and connected with many machinery manufacturing companies, and at present, the equipment required by private factories, Xia Jun made more drawings and let foreign machinery manufacturing companies be responsible for manufacturing. The threshold of the machinery manufacturing industry is high, and Xia Jun currently has no skilled workers in his hands, so it is difficult to get involved.

However, most of the bank's funds were still invested in infrastructure, and Xia Jun planned to build a railway, a railway across Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, from Fuzhou to Jian'an, and then from Jian'an to Pucheng, and then to Hangzhou, which is expected to be completed in two years, and the investment will require 40 million silver dollars.

In terms of building railways, Fujian can produce railways independently, and Xia Jun also has advanced construction machinery in his hands, so the cost of railway construction is greatly reduced.

To put it bluntly, building a railway requires money, and Xia Jun is very short of money now, although the existing financial revenue can maintain the operation, but it is not enough to invest in education, medical care, and infrastructure.

After the opening of KFC in Jian'an, it received good results, and the business was very hot on the opening day, which is also a normal phenomenon, this kind of thing was very popular when it first opened, and people's enthusiasm will decrease after a long time.

However, the food quality of this KFC opened by Xia Jun is very good, the ingredients are all of the highest quality, and the taste is really good.

For example, compared with China and South Africa in later generations, the quality of KFC in South Africa is much better than that in China, because the chicken used in Chinese KFC is from chicken farms, but not in South Africa, and there is naturally a gap in quality.

Although the business is very hot on the opening day, it is far from the point of promotion, first of all, to form a franchise brand, there must be technical support, as well as a unified decoration style, etc., these things must be clear in order to expand. The way to expand is very simple, big cities open themselves, and small cities find franchisees. Of course, the main market is still abroad.

Just when Xia Jun was busy investing, the news came back from Berlin, Germany, that the team sent to Berlin, Germany to participate in the expo was a great success, with 18 of the more than 300 products winning the Gold Award and 83 products winning the Excellence Award.

In the expo held in Berlin this time, the team sent by Xia Jun is undoubtedly a very dazzling highlight, China as a backward country, it is indeed surprising to send such a team, and this is also a team of local organizations, what is even more surprising is that the exhibitors exhibited many products with independent intellectual property rights.

For example, the 914 exhibited in the exhibition has been included in the temporary protection list of the expo, and being included in the protection list means that no one can snatch the patent.

The reason why so many products won the Excellence Award is mainly due to the packaging, and the packaging factory opened by Xia Jun provides good packaging for these products, which naturally looks good.

At the expo, the factories received many foreign orders, and the total amount of orders reached more than 20 million US dollars, which can be described as a big profit.

The most important thing is that the expo has made a name for itself and determined the important position of Fujian's industry in some fields, such as the pharmaceutical industry and the building materials manufacturing industry.

Fujian production of sulfonamides, 914 order amount, Fujian production of cement also has a large number of orders, this high-quality cement in the Berlin Fair in the limelight, coupled with the low price, orders have also received a lot.

Fujian Autonomous Political Axe is undoubtedly one of the big winners of this expo, in addition to the orders received at the beginning, there will be orders in the future.

……

At the end of September, Xia Jun became highly concerned about the situation in Hubei, and the number of spies sent inland by the Military Intelligence Bureau reached more than 50.

Xia Jun has controlled 99% of the townships in Fujian at this time, since the summer harvest, those townships that have not yet entered the autonomy have also entered the state of autonomy, and the local government is very weak, there is nothing to be done about it, they dare to mess around, they will be 'planed', so those towns have no worries.

At the same time, there was a situation of population migration, and the population of those counties that were not included in the administrative region began to migrate to the already autonomous northwest Fujian region, because the northwest Fujian region was better off.

The population under Xia Jun's rule has risen to more than 7.6 million, and the popular sentiment index has also risen to a height of 5.8.

The points recorded in the account at the beginning of October were as high as 48 million, which made Xia Jun's points rise to 140 million, which made him feel much more at ease.

……

On September 24, 1911, the Society and the Communist Party held a joint meeting in Wuchang, attended by more than 60 responsible persons of the two sides and representatives of the New Army, at which the leading body of the uprising -- the General Headquarters of the Uprising -- was formed. Jiang Yiwu, the head of the society, was elected commander-in-chief, and Sun Wu, the head of the Communist Association, was elected chief of staff. Liu Gong, the head of the Communist Advancement Association, was elected as the prime minister of the Political Preparatory Department. The general headquarters of the uprising was set up at No. 85 Xiaochao Street, Wuchang, and the preparatory office was located at No. 14, Baoshanli, the Russian Concession in Hankou. The uprising was set for October 6, 1911 (August 15 of the old calendar, Mid-Autumn Festival), but due to lack of preparation, the uprising was postponed to October 16.

On October 9, Sun Wu, a member of the Communist Advancement Association, was injured in an accident when he secretly made a bomb at No. 14 Baoshanli, in the Russian Concession of Hankow. The Russian patrol came to search, and the wounded Sun Wu and others escaped, but the documents, flags, etc. of the uprising were searched, and Liu Gong's younger brother Liu Tong was taken away in the adjacent residence of Liu Gong. When the governor of Huguang, Rui Cheng, heard of this, he ordered martial law throughout the city and searched for revolutionaries. After hearing the news, Jiang Yiwu, the head of the society, decided to launch an uprising that night and sent people to deliver letters to the battalions. That night, Peng Chufan and Liu Fuji were arrested at the general headquarters of the uprising, and Yang Hongsheng was arrested on the way to transport ammunition, and the three were beheaded on the morning of October 10.

At this time, some of the members of the society and the Communist Party were beheaded, and some had already fled.

As soon as the revolutionaries ran, they left a group of soldiers of the New Army in a daze, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, they did not know if their names were on the list that had been searched, and if they were found, they would be beheaded.

Xiong Bingkun and others in the rear team of the engineering battalion of the New Army decided to revolt early, and brought in Wu Zhaolin, an officer (equivalent to the company commander), as the temporary commander-in-chief of the rebel army, and Xiong Bingkun as the chief of staff.

At eight o'clock in the evening of October 10, 1911 (August 19 of the lunar calendar), Cheng Dingguo, Xiong Bingkun and others fired the first shot of the Wuchang Uprising.
