Kuang Haishan of the Nanjing Presidential Palace stood upright, and made a standard military salute with one fist and flat chest: "Kuang Haishan, commander of the First Regiment of the First Brigade of the Anhui Revolutionary Army, greets the president!" ”

Sun Wen looked at Kuang Haishan, who had a heroic face, was overjoyed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, a good revolutionary soldier with a righteous body!" ”

Kuang Haishan saw the idol he had admired for more than ten years, his body trembled with excitement, and he struggled to control himself to maintain his image.

"I heard you brought two thousand men?" Army Chief Huang Xing asked in a low voice.

Kuang Haishan saluted Huang Xing again, and then said loudly: "Governor Chai Du ordered us that after coming to Nanjing, the army will obey the dispatch of the political axe, clean up the local area, ensure the law and order of Nanjing, maintain the order of the provisional Senate, and wait until the meeting is over before returning to Wuhu." After that, Kuang Haishan took out a bill of exchange from his arms: "This is the tax that our Anhui Province transferred to the temporary political axe." ”

Huang Xing glanced at the numbers above, was overjoyed, and smashed a fist on Kuang Haishan's chest: "Obediently, one million, it can solve the urgent need of the political axe!" ”

This punch was very heavy, but Kuang Haishan's body did not move, and his waist was as straight as a knife and an axe. The more Sun Wen and Huang Xing looked at Kuang Haishan, the more they liked it.

The meeting of the provisional Senate is about to be held, representatives of various provinces are gathered in Nanjing, Chai Dongliang in Anhui is still entangled in some miscellaneous matters and cannot participate in person, Gao Ming, Tang Qianming and others are inextricably linked with Li Yuanhong in Wuchang, Lu Kai and Fang Qingyu are even more people who must not leave, and these two guys are bold people, once they are annoyed, they can poke a hole in the sky. Chai Dongliang thought about it, and only Kuang Haishan was young and old. Moreover, Kuang Haishan is a hot-blooded young man who admires the revolution, and has not joined organizations such as the League, the Liberation Association, and the Communist Association.

Chai Dongliang sent him to attend the provisional Senate as a representative of the Anhui side, and ordered him to bring the first regiment to Nanjing, which was fully staffed.

The temporary political axe is poor, the people's army in Jiangxi asked for funds from the political axe, Sun Wen approved 100,000 yuan with a stroke of the pen, Li Liejun took the approval and found the Ministry of Finance with a bitter face, and the chief financial officer opened the silver treasury with a bitter face, which was only ten yuan. The finances of the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe had reached the point of exhaustion, and the members of the Senate were eager for Yuan Shikai to take over the matter one day earlier, so that he could throw away this mess as soon as possible.

However, Sun Wen advocated taking Nanjing as the capital, while Yuan Shikai resolutely disagreed, and the two sides had great differences and could not hold each other, and if the temporary political axe could not be supported, the consequences would be worrying. First of all, once Nanjing's more than 100,000 people's troops run out of food and wages, they will become a scourge, and the surrounding provinces will inevitably suffer a lot. Secondly, if Nanjing collapses on its own, then there will be no strength to balance Yuan Shikai in the future.

This million is simply charcoal in the snow, but this snow is too big, and the charcoal is a little less!

"President, we all ask for a political axe, and I hope you can allow Guanghua Bank to open branches in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other provinces to raise funds to solve problems for political axe."

Sun Wenxi said with a smile: "It's a good thing to invigorate the financial industry!" How could I disagree? I'll give you the approval! ”

Shanghai has been controlled by Chai Dongliang, Jiangsu is under the direct jurisdiction of Nanjing's temporary political axe, Zhejiang is the nest of the Restoration Society, there are Zhang Taiyan, Li Xiehe and in, naturally there is no problem, Jiangxi's Li Liejun has always been Sun Wen's horse head, Hunan is Huangxing's one-acre and three-point land, Hubei's Li Yuanhong, Tang Hualong, Gao Chuguan and Chai Dongliang's friendship is not bad, these provinces are relatively stable Chai Dongliang chose these provinces, it took a lot of thought.

Guanghua Bank has enough US dollars and silver as reserves, and the banknotes, silver dollars, and copper yuan issued are strong. It is also quite cost-effective to take out a little temporary political axe for Sun Wen. Raising himself to help the temporary political axe, this is a good thing to say, but this temporary political axe is about to change owners, and Chai Dongliang just gave Sun Wen a hollow soup ball.

Chai Dongliang never does loss-making business, he has to cast bait when fishing, he still understands this truth, and he will definitely not suffer a loss if he takes out one million silver dollars in exchange for the trade rights of the six southeastern provinces.

"President, the First Regiment of the First Brigade of the Anhui Revolutionary Party has been assembled outside the city, can you enter the city?" Kuang Haishan asked.

Sun Wen nodded and said, "Of course you can!" ”

Huang Xing was overjoyed, the provincial people's army simply regarded the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe as a restaurant, and they came and left as they wanted, and there were people like Kuang Haishan, who gathered the army outside the city and stood by, and did not enter the city without an order.

Kuang Haishan suddenly blushed, muttered something and lowered his head.

Sun Wen felt a little strange, and asked with a smile: "Just say anything, you are the representative of Anhui, what can't you say directly?" ”

Kuang Haishan grinned and said: "President, on the way here, the brothers all said that they wanted to see the President and General Huang with their own eyes, I wonder if the two of you can review our Anhui Revolutionary Army?" Of course, the president and President Huang said that there are all kinds of opportunities, if you don't have time, forget it! Haishan is reckless! ”

Sun Wen and Huang Xing glanced at each other, and then laughed and said, "Do the comrades in Anhui also think that the two of us are monsters with red eyebrows and green eyes?" You have also seen that we are all ordinary people with a nose and two eyes, what is there to see? It's just that since the comrades have such a request, how can Keqiang and I be embarrassed to chill the enthusiasm of the comrades? Commander Kuang, you go back and inform everyone that we will go to meet with the comrades in Anhui in the afternoon. ”

Kuang Haishan saluted again and left happily.

Outside the city of Nanjing, salutes were fired, and the soldiers of the first regiment collectively saluted Sun Wen and Huang Xing, Sun Wen and Huang Xing wore ceremonial clothes and rode war horses to inspect the soldiers, and the two took off their hats to salute like soldiers. Kwong Haishan followed closely behind them.

Two thousand soldiers, lined up in four square arrays, are straight lines when viewed horizontally, vertically, and diagonally. Everyone's military uniforms are new, the leggings are meticulously beaten, the bayonets are shiny, and they are full of spirit. After several months of training, the officers and men of the 1st Brigade are like freshly sharpened swords, dazzling, sharp, and sharp!

In addition to the lack of tenacity unique to a hundred tempered lions, whether it is military appearance, equipment, or training level, this is a full elite.

Sun Wen saw the simple worship in the eyes of these young people, and his heart was also hot, he was also such a simple and enthusiastic young man back then. In his more than 20 years of revolutionary career, he is already a man with two sideburns!

Huang Xing was full of praise and said: "What a tiger and wolf division, Captain Kuang is really a talent!" ”

Kuang Haishan said lightly: "This is all the credit of our governor, and Haishan has no size." ”

Sun Wen and Huang Xing glanced at each other, and they were surprised, Chai Dongliang had trained the army to this extent in a few months? Moreover, he set up Guanghua Bank, and I heard that there is also a large industrial park in Wuhu.

His ambition is not small!

"Captain Kuang, why didn't you all come? Still in Shanghai? Sun Wen calmed down and asked calmly.

Kuang Haishan said loudly: "Report to the president, Chai Dutu has returned to Anqing, and is responding to the president's call to carry out the movement of equal land rights." ”

"Oh? Did he leave Shanghai? Sun Wen and Huang Xing's hearts shook at the same time

Dividing line

Chai Dongliang has indeed left Shanghai, but he has not yet returned to Anqing, and he is still on the warship at Wusong Wharf at the moment.

After Chen Yingshi was arrested, the news of the abdication of the Manchu Qing Dynasty came immediately after, and Li Xiehe's Liberation Army's first town squad of the Northern Expedition returned to Shanghai. Li Xiehe is also a weirdo, the first thing he did after returning to Shanghai was to dismiss the Guangfu Army.

From Nanjing to Yanjing, newspapers in various places were full of praise for his behavior, and the "Shibao" and "Minli Bao" all praised him for his achievements and worthy of being a mirror for those who pursued fame and fortune under the titles of "Li Xiehe's Successful Retirement" and "Commander Li's Lofty Grace and Bright Virtue."

The Qing court abdicated, the world was leaderless, the people were uneasy, and the southern provinces raised too many soldiers, and the tax burden was much higher than that of the Qing Dynasty, and the people were already miserable. Provisional President Sun Yat-sen also gave instructions on his resignation, affirming Li Xiehe's achievements in "planning the southeast," recovering Shanghai, and maintaining the Nanjing Provisional Political Axe, praising his successful retirement, and at the same time apologizing for the political axe's inability to provide living security for Li Xiehe after his resignation due to financial difficulties.

The people in the rivers and lakes of the Huzhou Gang were leaderless, and they were in a panic, and many people had already moved the idea of robbing their homes and houses.

Chai Dongliang discussed with the Shanghai Ziyi Bureau to auction off the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the proceeds of 1.6 million yuan were used to settle the members of the Huidang who had made meritorious contributions to the uprising during the Xinhai Revolution, and to dismiss the people of the Guangfu Army and the Huzhou Gang back to the countryside. After taking the money, if you dare to bully the people, then you will be directly punished.

Yang Bangzi was appointed by the Consultative Bureau as the director of the Shanghai Police Department, and he brought out all his beautiful snot bubbles, patted his chest and promised that he would definitely make a big change in Shanghai's public security within a month. Everyone believes this, no matter how domineering the gangs in Shanghai are, they can't compare to those Tianjin Wei gangsters who can make Yuan Shikai and Li Hongzhang as big as a fight.

Chai Dongliang and Yu Qiaqing rewarded Huang Jinrong with 30,000 oceans, and also warned him to behave in the future, and not to rely on the power of foreigners to run rampant, otherwise he can afford to lift him and trample him to death!

Huang Jinrong was naturally happy when he took the money, and he agreed, but only God knows what he thought in his heart.

The Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau was bought by Chai Dongliang and Yu Qiaqing and other wealthy businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Chai Dongliang took out 600,000 yuan and used technology to buy shares, and now has 51 percent of the shares, and should have become the largest shareholder. Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau was renamed Shanghai Guanghua Group Co., Ltd., with four enterprises under its jurisdiction: Shanghai Guanghua Shipyard, Shanghai Guanghua Machinery Factory, Shanghai Guanghua Ordnance Factory, and Shanghai Guanghua Iron and Steel Company.

Chai Dongliang personally inspected that the problems of the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau were the same as those of the Anqing Repair Institute, and the machines were all the most advanced equipment imported from Britain and Germany, but the management level was extremely poor. Moreover, the steel used to make guns and cannons still depends on imports, and the raw materials cannot be self-sufficient, as for the problems of state-owned enterprises such as corruption, low efficiency, and superfluity, it is not lacking. Hundreds of people were found just to be paid and didn't go to work, not to mention a large number of redundant people who went to work, drank tea, bragged and didn't work.

During the Tongzhi period, the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau used to be the largest arsenal in East Asia, and once copied the 11 mm caliber front-loading Mauser rifle, which was the first rifle imitated in China, and also built China's first steamship, and 20 years ago, it also made China's first furnace of molten steel.

It's just that the cost and quality really don't dare to compliment, the cost of building a rifle is seventeen taels of silver, and it only takes thirteen taels to buy a foreign gun of the same model, and the cost of building a boat can buy two. The quality is even worse, and Li Hongzhang's Huai army is unwilling to use it. During the First Sino-Japanese War, the cannonballs made by the Shanghai Manufacturing Bureau had copper hoops on the muzzles that exceeded the caliber of the cannons, and they had to be filed with a file before they could be filled into the chambers. And even the bullet diameter of the shells is different, placed together, the length of the length is short, which makes the soldier shake his head.

The reason why Chai Dongliang is willing to invest here is that he has taken a fancy to the large number of technicians trained here, and the second is that there is a technical school with a complete range of categories here, as well as a translation hall with a large scale.

The number of teachers in the technical school exceeded the needs by more than double, and Chai Dongliang unceremoniously relocated more than half of the people to the Wuhu Industrial Park, and hundreds of skilled technicians were also removed. The translation hall was all over the house, and a lot of them were sent to Wuhu.

Looking at hundreds of engineering and technical personnel and translators, escorted to Wuhu by the warship of the naval division, Chai Dongliang's eyebrows and eyes bloomed! This trip to Shanghai is worth it!

In this era, what China lacks most is not funds or idealistic young people, but talents. It is really a terrible thing for so many professional and technical personnel and translators to waste their years in government-run enterprises without the slightest efficiency!

As for the problem of low efficiency, it is partly due to the stubborn illness of the officers and soldiers in the enterprise, and also because of the low level of management. From the day Chai Dongliang and Yu Qiaqing bought the Manufacturing Bureau, it did not belong to the government-run enterprises, and those who came in by relying on their connections and read the newspaper were naturally eliminated, and Chai Dongliang was not worried about the problem of the management system.

In the 21st century, China's private enterprises are the world's most capable of reducing costs, and quality management is no problem.

The quality of export products has always been excellent, and low-quality products have always been sold to Chinese people! Thinking of this, Chai Dongliang couldn't help but let out a sigh!

"Chai Dudu, my five boats are yours, don't let me down!" Lee Seop walked in laughing.

After Li Xiehe resigned from the post of commander-in-chief of the Liberation Army, he used his relationship with overseas Chinese businessmen to raise 2 million capital, initiated the "Colonization Association", and established the "China Steamship Co., Ltd."

Chai Dongliang laughed and said: "Brother Li, don't worry, whatever price the foreigner has, I will have the price, and the foreigner will have the quality, I guarantee that it will only be high and not low!" ”

Li Xiehe smiled slyly: "Governor, I have built a cement factory and am raising it, and your new machine should be sold to me first!" ”

Chai Dongliang patted his thigh and said, "I didn't say it, Brother Li opened his mouth, brother can't let your face fall to the ground?" I have a request, though. ”

Li Xiehe nodded and said, "Governor, please speak." ”

Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "Shanghai is the first city in the Far East, and its influence is huge, after Brother Li's cement factory opened, I brought people to visit, you can't keep my people out." ”

Li Xiehe smiled: "What is this? Didn't you just use my production line to promote you, I didn't say it! ”

"I disagree!" Yu Qiaqing broke in from outside: "Governor, isn't it ironclad to lose money if you sell a ship at this price?" The level of the manufacturing bureau, you know, according to the same quality and the same price as foreigners to sell equipment, then you will definitely be able to lose all the pants! ”

Chai Dongliang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The first time you lost, won't you lose the experience next time?" In the future, we have to use better quality and cheaper prices than foreigners to grab international orders. ”

Yu Qiaqing said with a bitter face: "What the governor said is a big truth, the problem is that the shareholders don't agree, these people won't look at the long term." ”

Chai Dongliang was also a little depressed, after all, Guanghua Shipyard is a joint-stock enterprise, and Shanghai is not its own territory, so it is understandable that these shareholders are mercenary.

Yu Qiaqing said in a pleading tone: "Governor, this big order is naturally important, and I know it very well!" If you see that this is not possible, you will divide the orders of your three-core socket and the future orders of the machine vertical kiln and crusher to the machinery factory to make up for the shipyard. ”

Chai Dongliang thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed.

Yu Qiaqing took out a document that had already been prepared from his arms: "Please sign it." ”

After Chai Dongliang finished signing, he saw the smug smile in Yu Qiaqing's eyes, and then he suddenly realized that he was calculated by this old guy, and what a big piece of fat was cut by him!

Chai Dongliang once gave Yu Qiaqing a copy of the enterprise management charter, this kind of old business experience can not see the advantages of the branch factory system and assembly line production? He must have already made up his mind!

Chai Dongliang, who is good at small calculations, was taken advantage of for the first time, and he was a little angry.

Yu Qiaqing saw that Chai Dongliang's face was not good, nodded and said, "Dudu, you are busy, I'll go first!" With that, he held the document that had not dried and rushed out happily.

Chai Dongliang was helpless, and felt a little funny.

Li Xiehe saw that it was cheap, and hurriedly grabbed Chai Dongliang and said: "Governor, my 'Colonization Association' has also set up a machinery factory, can the Governor also put a little order for us to do, and support the national industry In order to order those five ships in your shipyard, I have worn out my tongue with the shareholders, do you also subsidize the brothers?" ”

Chai Dongliang couldn't cry or laugh, this is all here to fight the autumn wind and eat big households! Beat Lao Tzu's local tyrants? However, the order for the three-core socket is indeed too large, and it is impossible to meet the export requirements without releasing a part.

"Okay, this time I'll be in charge, but Brother Li, let's speak first, the quality and delivery time can't be sloppy, when the time comes, I'll send someone to accept, if there is a difference, don't say that the brother is ruthless."

Li Xiehe nodded like a chicken eating rice: "That's natural, but please also ask the governor to get a copy of the management charter for my brother, and it is best to send someone who knows how to be the big treasurer for me." You wouldn't disagree, would you? If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, if you don't give me face, can you still give face to the third brother? I have the shares of my third sister-in-law here, so you won't watch your sister-in-law and children have nothing to eat, right? ”

Ruthless enough, not only to order, but also to dig management talents! Chai Dongliang secretly scolded the merchant in his heart, and even the dead Tao Chengzhang was moved out and used by him! How can I refuse?

Anyway, the three-core socket thing is a lesson, relying only on Wuhu Industrial Park is no longer able to meet the needs of the market in any case, and the demand for equipment such as vertical kilns and vertical crushers will be even more amazing. In the future, a large number of supporting enterprises will be needed to produce spare parts, and the main factory will only be responsible for assembly and sales.

The success or failure of these supporting enterprises is directly related to the success or failure of the general factory, and it is only beneficial to oneself to support them.

Now it is not only necessary to lay out politically, but also to start laying out industrially!
