When the northern country of January is icy and snowy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe equatorial province of Zhejiang is scorching under the scorching sun, and the surface of the body will soon be covered with sweat, but in the shade, the wet and fishy sea breeze blows, but it feels extremely comfortable.

Kalimantan, also known as Borneo, is the third largest island in the world, located in the middle of the Malay Archipelago in Southeast Asia. It is Sumatra to the west, Sulawesi to the east, the Java Sea and Java Island, and the South China Sea. The local aborigines at the northwest tip of the island call it Brunei City, and the Chinese call it the city of Bo Ni. It is one of the few megacities on the island. The city covers an area of about 12 square kilometers, and due to the rapid influx of Chinese after 918, the population is now about 200,000, which is a relatively concentrated area of Chinese on the island.

Lu Kaiming walked on the concrete road leading from the port to Bomud City, admiring the beautiful scenery along the way. I saw that along the line of the bay, covered with dense tropical trees, lush and endless, from time to time you can see bright flower clusters dotted among them. Gorgeous and abnormal. The sea is blue and clear in the distance. It reflects a mesmerizing brilliance in the sunlight. The sky is as blue as a wash, and the calm sea is set against the backdrop. In the distance, the beach and the road are lined with coconut trees and plantain trees, and exotic low houses are scattered in twos and threes, quiet and quaint.

Accompanying Lu Kaiming was Fei Xu, the head of the Ou family in Bonicheng, who was not very old, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, tall and thin. A pair of eyes shimmered with shrewdness. Fei Xu is also an orphan adopted by Ou Yaoting, graduated from the Department of Political Science of Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and has been in charge of the affairs of Bo Ni City for more than a year, under his careful care, the Ou family has dozens of rubber plantations, more than 100 farms, and more than 10 mining sites in the Bo Ni area. More than 20 factories and enterprises are well organized, and the output value created is as much as 10 million, which is a young man that Ou Yaoting is very optimistic about.

Behind the two were Lu Kaiming's assistant Zheng Jun and Feng Zhihe, the hall master of the Hongxing Society stationed in Bonitangkou, followed by the accompanying guards and members of the Hongxing Society in the local Tangkou. Everyone almost knew each other when they practiced camp, and this reunion after a long absence, talking and laughing, so unhappy!

Lu Kaiming came here, mainly to raise the food needed for the Anti-Japanese War in North China, and the other is that the group company is growing step by step, and the demand for raw materials is increasing day by day, such as the pharmaceutical factory to produce Penning's cinchona, the rubber raw materials required by the automobile factory, the tin nickel and other raw materials of the alloy factory, all need to be purchased in large quantities from the rich production areas of Nanyang, and more and more enterprises are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more Ou Yaoting Group enterprises have been unable to take care of it, Lu Kaiming very much hopes that through his own efforts, with the assistance of Ou Group, he can further develop the Nanyang market. So as to expand the business scope of their Nanhua Group and grow step by step.

Many people may wonder where the food shipped from the United States has gone. It turned out that although the cheap grain purchased from the United States in recent years has been continuously shipped to China, due to the continuous natural disasters in the land of China, coupled with the successive military disasters, the grain delivered each time is always quickly divided, and the Great Wall War of Resistance has consumed a huge amount. An Yi had to find a way to find another source of goods, and Lu Kaiming had the intention to make a career, so he had this trip.

After walking for a while, Lu Kaiming found that the development of Bo Ni was not as good as he imagined, and most of the houses he saw along the way were low grass houses, and there were some handicraft workshops scattered on both sides of the road, and farmers could be seen plowing the fields under the scorching sun from time to time. Lu Kaiming took a closer look and found that most of the fields were cash crops, such as coffee, tea, spices, etc., and only occasionally could you see some rice fields.

As if he had discovered Lu Kaiming's doubts, Fei Xuan explained: "Brother Lu is feeling uncertain about whether we can come up with 500,000 tons of grain, right?" In fact, such a large amount of grain would definitely not have been able to be done in the first two years, but now it is rich. After 918 the year before last, with the influx of refugees from the floods in Northeast China and the Yangtze River and Huai River valleys, agricultural production in Borneo and other parts of the South Seas developed by leaps and bounds.

"Most of the natives of the South Seas are lazy, because of its proximity to the equator, where there is plenty of sunshine and rain. Generally, a family can survive well by planting one or two acres of land, so no one takes the initiative to reclaim wasteland to develop production, but we Chinese are different, in addition to satisfying food and clothing, there is a higher pursuit, so in the past two years, Nanyang can see the scene of reclamation everywhere, many farms and plantations from scratch, but it takes two or three at the same time. The British, Dutch and other colonial authorities were also happy to see this situation, after all, the economic development has gone up. They can also reap the benefits, so they have always turned a blind eye to this.

"In Borneo, for example, over the years, more than 800,000 people have been resettled, and with the help of our Eurasian Group, 3,218 new farms and 467 plantations have been opened on the island. It is connected from north to south, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a land of fish and rice. Most of the port area you see is saline-alkali land, and the land is poor, so there will be many questions, and when you enter the Bomud City and then go out of the city, you can see the good scenery of my Bomud. ”

Lu Kaiming nodded again and again: "Then I will be relieved." I've seen Borneo's calendar, and it's strange to say that this island is rich in products and is obviously a treasure of feng shui, so why did the Manchus disdain the local Chinese regime that donated the land and the roster? If I had taken it in the first place, this would have been my Chinese territory. ”

Fei Xuan smiled faintly: "Even if it is returned to China, it can't be saved, you don't see that North Korea, Ryukyu, Taiwan and other places are no longer in the arms of my China, and now even the Northeast is lost, and Mongolia and North China are also in danger in the blink of an eye." The country is not rich and strong, and the more territory it is, the more people are worried, which is also the sorrow of my Chinese man! ”

Lu Kaiming sighed: "This is also the reason why I decisively followed the commander after returning to China." Looking at China from top to bottom, the only one who can clearly realize the crisis facing the country and rise up to resist is Commander An, taking this purchase of grain as an example. How many people will pay out of their own pockets for the sake of the country and the nation? It's hard! ”

Fei Xuan admired with a face: "My uncle naturally didn't say it, so our Ou's Group will have dysentery in the business of various brother groups and provide convenience in many aspects, for this country, for the suffering Chinese nation." ”

While the two were talking, they unconsciously approached the gate of Boni City, and saw a group of Chinese people huddled together from a distance, crying and talking.

Zheng Jun, who had been talking and laughing behind him, glanced at each other, hurried to catch up with Lu Kaiming and Fei Xu, and motioned for them to stay for the time being to ensure safety. After a few minutes, the two returned to Lu Kaiming and Fei Xu, and introduced simply:

Wang Laoshi's family, who immigrated here from the northeast, was not satisfied with the nearly 100 acres of land they cultivated, and bought a rubber plantation with a loan from the Ou family's Xinghua Bank. Wang was honest, and when the British colonial government sued the natives, who would have thought that the British colonial authorities would arrest Wang Laoshi instead, and ask his family to take out a hundred oceans to ransom people, and only release him from prison in the morning, he was angry when he returned home. After lunch, I rushed back to the theory of the British colonial government, who wants to be beaten out of the mess, and now I am looking for death at the city gate! ”

Lu Kaiming was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Fei, isn't there a different body clam in this Borneo continent?" Rhythm and re-rule. to protect the personal and property safety of our people? ”“※

Fei Xuan smiled bitterly: "Although the population ratio of our Chinese in Nanyang is getting heavier and heavier, due to the weakness of the country, we can't even straighten our backs. In fact, Wang Laoshi's thing is very common, but whether it is the British or Dutch colonial authorities, they all complain about supporting the aborigines to suppress us Chinese. ”

Lu Kaiming frowned slightly, and looked at Feng Zhihe: "Since you Hongxing Society has a hall here. Didn't think of any way to deal with it? ”

Feng Zhihe said: "Our main task is to develop members and make money, but generally as long as you join the Hongxing Society, no matter who has an accident." We will all find a way to get back on the field, and those natives don't dare to mess with us Hongxing Society now.

But this king is honest and cowardly by nature, and when I went to mobilize him to join the Hongxing Society, I was rejected by delivery. Now that this is happening, it's hard for us to come forward to help, otherwise what will the other members who have paid their dues think? ”

Zheng Jun's face became ugly: "I thought you were helpless, it turned out that you could only be protected by joining the Hongxing Society, every refugee who came to Nanyang, we promised to give them the best care, but now we are facing this situation, isn't it a slap in the face of our An Jiajun?" I am categorically opposed to this practice of taking money to do things. ”

Lu Kaiming was very interested in Feng Zhihe's statement: "Tell me, how did you get the indigenous and colonial authorities to give in? ”

Feng Zhihe was so embarrassed by Zheng Jun's words that his face was flushed. But Hongxingshe was originally deeply influenced by An Yi, and later grew rapidly under the support of An Jiajun, its ideology, practice and system all have the style of An Jiajun, and Zheng Jun's status in Nanhua Company is very high, and he is the clansman of Chen Biao, the boss of Hongxingshe, so he sulked for a while, bowed his head and replied:

"In general, we resort to abductions, intimidation and declarations of force to force indigenous and colonial authorities into submission. Those natives are all scattered, and they naturally rush to the top in the face of interests, but in the face of absolute force, they seem to be very cowardly. We have a special operations team of more than 50 people at the entrance of Bo Ni Tang, equipped with long and short guns and automatic firepower, and every time something goes wrong, we will be overwhelmed by the army, and those natives immediately obey and do not even dare to let out a fart, and the colonial authorities are not willing to make a big incident, and generally turn big things into small things. If the people in my Hongxing Society suffer a big loss from the white officials, we will quietly kidnap them and let them see our scraping. Then they took a few nude photos and photos of accepting bribes as evidence, and when they went back, they didn't dare to make a noise, and naturally they would get things done. ”

Although Fei Xuan is in the same place as Fengzhi. I had never been in contact with it before, and when I heard all kinds of appalling methods of Hong Xingshe at this moment, my eyes couldn't help but light up: "Tricks!" It turns out that there is such a way to deal with these scoundrels, why didn't I think of it before? ”

At this time, Lu Kaiming had already crossed the crowd. came to the crowded crowd, looked at the lively Chinese separately, and squatted down in front of Wang Laoshi, who was crying a mess: "Fellow, don't cry, men don't flick when they have tears, we Chinese are in a foreign country." You can't be looked down upon! ”

When Wang Laoshi heard this comforting voice, he cried even louder.

Lu Kaiming shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to convince him: "Fellow, if you cry again, I can't help you." I promise you, as long as you stop crying and talk to us for a while, we will take care of helping you get the rubber and the fine back, how about it? ”

"Really? You don't lie to me? Wang Laoshi immediately stopped crying and raised his head to look at Lu Kaiming.

Lu Kaiming nodded, and pulled down the Fengzhihe who came to his side: "You know this, right?" I asked him to help, and you should be trustworthy. ”

Wang honestly glanced at Feng Zhihe embarrassedly: "I know, I knew that it would be like this, I would have joined the Hongxing Society, otherwise there would be no accident so that every day should not be called the earth." ”

Lu Kaiming said: "It doesn't matter if you join Hongxing or not. You and I are both Chinese, and we should get help if something goes wrong. I promise you that life will be better in the future, and those who oppress us, we are the only ones. I won't let it go. ”

"Really?" Wang Laoshi's eyes lit up, and then slowly dimmed: "Impossible." This is white man's territory, and we won't let it go! ”

"How do you know if you haven't tried? But I think we Chinese should be in a group, otherwise it's like a plate of loose sand, no! ”

Lu Kaiming stood up and said to a group of Chinese onlookers: "Today is Wang Laoshi's suffering. What if you suffer tomorrow? I know that there is no malice in gathering onlookers, but is this meaningful to change the situation of our Chinese? If you are really a man, you should unite, otherwise you can only be bullied. ”

The people around lowered their heads in shame, and Lu Kaiming continued: "My name is Lu Kaiming, I am the manager of Nanhua Company, and in the future, Nanhua Company will open a branch in Bonicheng and even the entire Nanyang area. ”

The crowd was talking, "Is this possible?" South China Company? It seems that I have never heard of "only", is it related to the Hongxing Society that collects protection money? ”

Lu Kaiming did not answer these questions. Holding Feng Zhihe's hand, he went to the side and discussed for a while. Then he said honestly to the king who was looking at him:

"Wang is honest, huh? You can go to Hongxing Society with us now, wait a minute, and we'll go to your plantation together. I want to meet these natives in person."

Fei Xuan was anxious when he heard this: "Brother Lu, it's dangerous, those natives are unreasonable, in case you have something to do, how can I explain it to my adoptive father?" ”

Zheng Jun smiled: "Don't worry, brother. The people of Hongxing Society now also know Hua Qi, Eighty and Eight. I know the strength of many of the brothers, and Lu will be fine. When we were in Hong Kong, we didn't know that the living conditions of our Chinese in the Nanyang area were so harsh, so we took this opportunity to see and understand. ”

Lu Kaiming nodded: "We Chinese have been weak for a long time, and we are used to it. But now that even the United States, where racial discrimination is rife, is impressed by us Chinese, why doesn't Nanyang make some appropriate changes? In order for our nation to develop and progress, and to win victory in the war against Japan, we must broaden our living space, and Nanyang is a useful extension. Therefore, this is not only a matter of the Ou Group, but also a matter of thousands of Chinese. Now that this has happened, I can't stand idly by."

"Expand your living space?"

Fei Xuan nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly felt that he should tell his adoptive father Ou Yaoting all this, maybe he would be inspired.
