On the streets of Anqing, Zhong Wuying happily led the police and homeless people to help the victimized people repair their houses. Sure enough, he was in danger of wealth and wealth, and overnight, he was promoted from an insignificant inspector to the director of the Anhui Police Department on a rocket. The police colleagues were extremely envious, but they also had to admire the courage of this guy. If it weren't for Zhong Wuying's warning shot, Nanda Camp would really be attacked by the Huaishang Army. If it weren't for Zhong Wuying's decisive slaughter of the bureau chief Lao Du and the help of three hundred policemen, I'm afraid that Anqingcheng's losses would be ten times greater than now.

A large number of displaced people smashed the road surface, dug deep drainage ditches on both sides, and buried cement pipes more than five feet thick in the ground. The ash pulled from the Wuhu cement factory is mixed with sand and mixed into mortar. Under the guidance of the mechanics, the homeless people used wire pliers to clumsily weave steel cages and then lowered them into the ground, and then poured mortar, and the stone road that was originally covered with moss was renovated into a wide and straight gray road.

The manager of Guanghua Bank, who ran the street, set up a table on the side of the street and tirelessly explained the small loans to the victims. The bank lends a large amount of money to the merchants to help them recover, and the interest is only 8% a year, which is very surprising to the merchants, if the money is borrowed from the bank, it is at least three cents.

The centigold in Anhui has been abolished and replaced by a uniform commercial tax of 5% of the value of goods.

Merchants are very satisfied with this provision, although the Qing Dynasty stipulates that the centigold is only one percent of the value of the goods, but almost every county is setting up a card to levy centigold, from southern Anhui to northern Anhui, the expenditure of centigold can reach two and a half percent of the value of the goods, plus the extortion of centicard, one hundred taels of silver goods, in Anhui to go a trip, you have to pay fifty taels of silver in taxes, let alone the province.

The revocation of the centicard exemption has made merchants overjoyed, and now even the interest on the borrowed money is only 8 cents, which makes many businessmen secretly make up their minds to expand their business and expand their business.

"Shanghai Guanghua Machinery Factory's latest tea machine, you always see, the machine to fry tea is fast and good, you don't buy one??? If you don't have money, it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can ask the Chamber of Commerce to guarantee you, or the three merchants will jointly guarantee you, Guanghua Bank will give you money, and you will repay the principal and interest in three years??? Interest? Eight cents, cheap enough, right? "The salesman from Shanghai cooperated with Guanghua Bank and lost no time in expanding its business.

The owner of the tea house hesitated for a moment: "We haven't heard of this Guanghua Machinery Factory, it's not a small chicken feather factory, right?" ”

The salesman smiled: "This name has just been changed, you have never heard of it is not strange, it was originally called Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, also known as Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau, have you heard of this?" We are the largest factory in China??? Now this factory belongs to our Anhui Chaidudu, Guanghua, Guanghua, this is the word of Chai Dudu! Our factory has rules, you try it for half a month, if you feel that it is not good, we will also return the goods, and a penny will not be less for you! ”

The Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau was bought by Chai Dongliang and the businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces headed by Yu Qiaqing at a price of 1.6 million silver dollars, and was renamed Guanghua Company, which consists of four enterprises: Shanghai Guanghua Shipyard, Shanghai Guanghua Machinery Factory, Shanghai Guanghua Ordnance Factory, and Shanghai Guanghua Iron and Steel Company, with 5,000 employees.

In addition to supporting Wuhu Industrial Park and other related heavy industry enterprises, Shanghai Guanghua Machinery Factory also began to manufacture light industrial machinery related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the tea machine is their latest product.

After listening to this, the boss said categorically: "I'll buy one of this machine first, if it's really easy to use, let's buy a few more, one thousand two hundred taels of silver is not a scary number, you don't have to borrow it from the bank, let's weigh it for you??? The Governor is sympathetic to us businessmen, so we have to cheer for the Governor, don't we? ”

"You can rest assured, this machine must be good, our Guanghua Machinery Factory will send someone to guide your guys to use the machine to fry tea, if the machine has a problem, we have maintenance personnel in Anqing, on call!" The salesman smiled, and another transaction was completed, and according to the regulations, he could get a commission of 5 percent, and he made 60 taels of silver at once.

Anhui tea merchants once occupied half of the tea exports to Russia, Mongolia and Tibetan provinces, and later because of the old-fashioned, handmade tea was shocked by the machine tea of foreigners. The hand-made tea bricks look ugly, and the efficiency is low, the market share has been almost squeezed out in just ten years, and the major tea estates in Anhui have fallen seventy or eighty percent, and the rest are just surviving.

The price of foreign man-made tea roasting machines is expensive, and the quality of domestic products is inferior and unusable, and it is understandable that tea merchants are reluctant to use them.

Chai Dongliang personally inspected the Anqing Ordnance Institute and the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau, the problems are almost identical, thousands of people in the factory, just take the empty pay and do nothing in the hundreds, the machines are imported by Germany and Britain, all of them are the most advanced, but the poor level of management is also staggering.

Chai Dongliang eliminated all the idle people, and then changed the production line to a branch factory system, each branch only does a certain kind of work, and a single machinery factory has a riveting and welding branch, a machining branch, a spare parts factory, and an electronic control branch??? The main factory is only responsible for assembly. Workers have also changed from doing everything from beginning to end to only doing a certain kind of work and producing a certain kind of parts. Quality control implements full management, the workers of the next process supervise the previous process, and if the quality of the parts is not qualified, the next process has the right to return. The wages of workers are based on the basic salary plus performance, the basic salary is only enough to eat, and the performance salary is generated by piecework, and more work is more. Technicians and engineers, if they make reasonable suggestions that help increase productivity and reduce costs, are rewarded by the factory.

The factory does not raise idlers, and implements assembly line operation and branch factory management, the cost has been greatly reduced, the output has been greatly increased, and the quality has been guaranteed.

The sales staff has also changed from sitting in the office waiting for customers to taking the initiative to sell to the door, and then depending on the products sold, they can get a commission of 1% to 5% of the sales.

This made the sales staff suddenly energetic, and they volunteered to run all over the country. Orders flew to Shanghai like snowflakes, but the manufacturing bureau could not meet the needs with enough machines, and the shortage of electricity supply and steel became the biggest bottlenecks.

In the small flower hall of the Anhui Military Advisory Mansion, Chai Dongliang, Wu Jintang, and Yu Qiaqing were discussing matters, and the soldiers sent fragrant tea and retreated.

Yu Qiaqing, who hurried from Wuhu, happily took out the order and showed off: "Governor, this Jiangnan Persuasion Industry Association was extremely successful, and one hundred and sixty contracts of intent were signed at that time, of which forty-six were to order a complete set of equipment. In addition, the five steamers produced by Shanghai Guanghua Shipyard for Li Xiehe have also started, and I estimate that it is a little difficult to make money, and it is unlikely that it will lose money! ”

"Well, this first transaction can be very successful without losing money" Chai Dongliang picked up the list and looked at it, his brows furrowed again: "How can you buy a full set of equipment from foreigners?" ”

Yu Qiaqing shook his head repeatedly: "Governor, please see, aren't there still more than a dozen of us Chinese?" ”

Chai Dongliang smiled bitterly, these dozen people were all salt merchants who were escorted back from Yangzhou, and these people colluded with Xu Baoshan to make Yangzhou a disaster. Chai Dongliang gave them two choices at that time, one was to be tried in public, and the other was to move to Wuhu with his full wealth and invest in industry. The salt merchants chose the latter with great interest.

In addition to these dozen salt merchants, Yu Qiaqing was the only Chinese who ordered a full set of equipment, and the remaining thirty or so were ordered by foreign foreign companies.

After the salt merchants bought the machine, eighty percent of them would sell it as scrap iron, and these people spent a lot of money to order complete sets of equipment, not to start a factory, but to pay Chai Dongliang protection money, as long as they no longer pursue the matter of seducing Xu Baoshan and harming the people, they will be pulled down.

These people are extremely conservative, and would rather rot the silver than invest in industry, but the two Huai salt merchants are rich in the world, but they are also extremely corrupt.

Chinese also order a lot, but most of them order a single machine, order a vertical crusher or an extended tubular ball mill, and the purpose of these people does not need to ask and know that it is grinding ore.

These people must be the owners of the mines, grinding the mined ore into mineral concentrate powder and then selling it to foreigners.

Precious resources reached the hands of foreigners at the price of walnuts and dates, and then they were made into industrial products and sold to the Chinese at a high price!

The most pitiful thing is those miners, who work hard in the dark underground, and the possibility of landslides and permeable gas explosions at any time threatens their lives all the time, these people risk selling white powder to earn cabbage wages, while those mine owners get huge profits, and the actual result is that the big head finally falls into the hands of foreigners.

This kind of cheap sale of resources and harm to future generations must be stopped!

If they build all the factories in China, with many years of leading technology, coupled with a series of privileges such as consular jurisdiction and tariff preferences enjoyed by foreigners in China, the surrounding Chinese enterprises will be killed by them, and the foreigners do not plan to immigrate to China, and they will bring back the money they have made sooner or later.

If that were the case, the foreigners would take away the profits, leaving behind a devastated city and a desperate crowd of people!

Chai Dongliang said coldly: "This is just a letter of intent, not a formal contract, tell those foreigners that the formal contract should stipulate that they can only go to foreign countries to set up factories when they buy equipment??? This matter should be notified to each agent, and if such a thing happens, the agent will be deprived of the agency. ”

Yu Qiaqing said with a bare face: "Governor, a set of equipment is 300,000 taels, isn't this foreigner's silver also silver?" More than 30 sets of equipment are tens of millions! ”

The full set of equipment of the vertical kiln cement factory plus some necessary accessories for the start-up of the kiln cement factory is 300,000 taels, and the package price is 300,000 taels, plus the plant, land acquisition and raw materials, 350,000 taels of silver can run a cement factory with an annual output of 300,000 tons.

This technology is 60 years ahead of the world, and after the opening of a vertical kiln cement plant, all cement plants within 100 miles of the surrounding area will be killed in seconds. The price of a set of equipment is 300,000 yuan, but the production cost is less than 50,000 taels, which is an absolute profiteering, and it is more profitable than selling big cigarettes. The production of machine kiln equipment is undertaken by Shanghai Guanghua Company and Wuhu Industrial Park. Yu Qiaqing is one of the major shareholders in Shanghai Guanghua Company, and he has a share of the money he makes, no wonder his face is pale in a hurry, and he is almost about to slap the table with Chai Dongliang.

"Boss Yu, cousin Jin, are there no Chinese people interested in complete sets of equipment at the persuasion meeting?" Chai Dongliang pressed down with both hands, signaling Yu Qiaqing to calm down.

Yu Qiaqing also felt out of shape, Wu Jintang said: "There are a lot of Chinese to go, and many people want to buy it, but the price is really scary, and ordinary people can't take out so much silver??? You Chinese you know, salt merchants and pawn merchants have money, but they are not interested in industry, and those who really engage in industry have little money. ”

Chai Dongliang knew this thing, before cooperating with himself, although the Wu family in Wuhu was famous, the actual economic strength was not strong, and after partnering with himself to build a three-core socket, the Wu family made a fortune.

Chai Dongliang pondered for a moment and said, "One hundred and eighty thousand, they took it out, right?" ”

Wu Jintang nodded and said: "That's no problem, the people who participate in the industry persuasion meeting are all the leading figures in the industrial world, and they can take out more than 100,000 of them." ”

Chai Dong nodded and said: "In this way, wherever our Guanghua Bank has a semicolon, you can pay in installments, as long as they make a down payment of 30% and take out 90,000 yuan, we will sell it to them???? There is no need to give additional collateral, just use the equipment we sold them as collateral. ”

Wu Jintang asked: "The interest is still eight percent?" ”

Chai Dongliang nodded.

Yu Qiaqing stomped his feet and said, "Dudu, why do you bother? Don't put cash money, but you want to collect the accounts in installments?? After the opening of this cement factory, I dare to guarantee that it will return to its capital in one year, don't you use your own money to make others rich? People borrow chickens to lay eggs, but you can lend your own chickens to others, and the eggs will be laid in other people's homes. ”

Chai Dongliang laughed and said: "Boss Yu's analogy is also appropriate, as long as Chinese make money, the meat will rot into our pot, and the foreigners have crushed the Chinese enterprises, they take the silver and pat their butts and run, leaving chicken feathers all over the ground??? I paid millions of dollars of silver for the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe, and only then did I get the power of our Guanghua Bank to pass through the southern provinces, but many provinces still did not recognize the banknotes we issued??? This time, let's lend money to local industrialists and let them use our banknotes to buy our machines, even if the credit of the banknotes is established, Boss Yu feels that this transaction is not cost-effective? ”

Yu Qiaqing grinned bitterly, and said secretly in her heart, you are a good deal, and the pieces of paper can be used as real money, but Lao Tzu is not cost-effective!

Wu Jintang knew that he was unhappy, and said with a slight smile: "You and my father and friend are said to be my elders!" Little nephew, please ask my uncle to invest in Guanghua Bank, I don't know what you think? ”

Yu Qiaqing was overjoyed, patted Wu Jintang's shoulder and said: "Brother Shi, this is a reward for me to eat, I, Yu Qiaqing, no longer understand things, this can still be seen clearly, today I am the east, Brother Shi and the governor must drink a few more glasses!" ”

Yu Qiaqing picked up a cigarette from the table and wanted to light it for Wu Jintang with her own hands, but Wu Jintang didn't dare to say anything.

"Boss Yu, how is Chen Qimei now?" Chai Dongliang asked.

Yu Qiaqing pouted disdainfully: "What else can he do?" Hiding in the concession and smoking a big cigarette and scooping bitch, this time he counted his fate so that he escaped, he instructed Jiang Zhiqing to assassinate Huangong, and the matter of Shanghai Beach was spread all over the beach, and the people of the Restoration Society said that as long as they met him, they would want his life, Chen Yingshi didn't even dare to go out, and found dozens of bodyguards to take care of his home??? He's already stinking off the street, and the people of the Green Gang don't want to see him anymore, I think he won't be alive for a few days! ”

Chai Dongliang was secretly a little embarrassed, Chen Yingshi was sentenced to be released in court because of insufficient evidence, and Jiang Zhiqing was sentenced to death, waiting for the Nanjing Supreme Court to review it before it was executed.

History has been fanned beyond recognition by butterfly wings, and the Chiang dynasty, which has controlled the fate of the Chinese for decades in another time and space, is unlikely to appear again.

"Dudu, last time you went to Nanjing in a hurry, you originally said that you were going to have a ball, but the housemate was still waiting stupidly, and she is still complaining that you don't believe your words!" Wu Jintang saw that Chai Dongliang was in a good mood and said with a smile.

Chai Dongliang called forgiveness for his sins, and said with a smile that a dance party would be held in the past two days to fulfill his promise last time.

Yu Qiaqing joked: "I want to celebrate, the success of this Jiangnan persuasion will be opened, and Anhui's finances can be guaranteed without looting the people, and the governor's love for the people can be expressed, which is really gratifying!" ”

Being able to take a stake in Guanghua Bank, which is said to be making money, Yu Qiaqing's eyebrows and eyes bloomed, and her heart was sweeter than eating bee feces.

"Governor, what's so happy, say it so much to make my old Yang happy." Yang Bangzi twisted the waist of the water snake and walked in with a smile.

Chai Dongliang hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and the soldiers offered Mao Feng tea again.

"The governor, those members of the Council who colluded with the rebels, have all confessed, and the public trial meeting is lively, if it weren't for the military and police to maintain it, these bitches would have been bitten to death by the people one by one!" Yang Bangzi drank delicious tea and said with great interest.

Chai Dongliang laughed and said, "Okay, Director Yang did a beautiful job!" The land reform in Anhui that I implemented this time will be a great success, and Director Yang will make the first contribution! ”

Wu Jintang also said with a smile: "It's really gratifying, take the handle of these people, let the people of the world see what kind of goods these people resist land reform, and the great cause of land reform will definitely succeed??? To appease thousands of Li Shu, so that the cultivators in Anhui Province have their fields, and the people will no longer have hunger, all of which have made great contributions! ”

Yu Qiaqing also smiled: "Double happiness is coming, we should have a big lively." ”

The three of them were talking and laughing happily, and they heard the soldiers outside shouting, "Report! ”

"Come in"

A soldier holds a piece of rough-edged paper with a translation of a telegram with undried ink!

After Chai Dongliang read it, he calmly put it on the public case, Yu Qiaqing poked his head to look, and saw a line of small words on it: Governor Junjian: The Ministry of Labor has captured Bengbu, and Zhang Xun fled north in embarrassment.

Yu Qiaqing was shocked and said: "Dudu, you can really calm down for such a big happy event!" Ancient Celebrity Manners! ”

Yang Bangzi and Wu Jintang also leaned over to look, both of them were overjoyed, and they bowed their hands to Chai Dongliang to say hello.

"Governor, these three joys are coming, no matter what, we have to celebrate with great fanfare!"
