Chapter 28: Untitled

The black * road has the banner of Jin Sanye, openly holding up Chen Anbao, an expert in solving cases, and secretly having Chen Wenqiang planning the overall situation. With the reshuffle of the forces of all parties www.biquge.info Xingyitang and the Chinese trade unions in Shanghai began to expand and benefit.

The path to success can be retraced, with a slight twist. Under the condition of the deteriorating public order in the French Concession, Chen Anbao gradually came to prominence, and the constant kind words of Cao Xianmin, the interpreter of the Waltz of the French Concession, finally attracted the attention of the French.

With the help of the Xingyitang Intelligence Department and the cousins scattered everywhere, Chen Anbao solved several cases in a row, not only arrested some thieves, but also planted a famous robbery gang in his hands. And the boundary that Chen Anbao is responsible for patrolling, the hooligans and ruffians are also discouraged, and the shop owners praise each other, and the residents are also very relieved.

The French knew that Chen Anbao had joined the Green Gang and had become a big-character figure. At the same time, he has a lot of subordinates, all of whom are three-light yards, and do not receive the allowance of the patrol room, but as Chen Anbao's assistant, he is quite capable.

As for Huang Jinrong's secret methods, as well as Chen Anbao's performance now, the French do not know a little. However, as outsiders who do not understand China's customs and social insiders, and who find it difficult to effectively control society, the French can tolerate and appropriately connive. Their idea of administering the concession has been basically determined, that is, to appropriately abandon judicial justice and cultivate the most powerful underworld forces to suppress other hooligan gangs. This is the so-called "fighting poison with poison".

Therefore, Huang Jinrong is finished, and the forces below him are under the blow of the Green Gang, and the people's hearts are weakened and have the potential to collapse. However, the emerging forces represented by Chen Anbao are rising day by day, and there are signs of replacing the Yellow faction, and the French cannot but consider and choose this.

As a test, Chen Anbao was promoted to Tanmu and transferred to the Mailan Patrol Room, that is, to fill the vacancy of Huang Jinrong. To the surprise of the French, Chen Anbao refused to be promoted and transferred, and he explained his hardships to the French: Most of the people in the Mailan patrol room were promoted and appointed by Huang Jinrong, and he was really difficult to control as a detective, and these people would not cooperate sincerely, so the work must be difficult to do.

Obviously, Chen Anbao's words are true and false, but there should be no doubt about asking for greater power. The French hesitated and hesitated, so Chen Anbao continued to do his best in his own jurisdiction, and as long as he committed a crime, whether it was a member of the Qing Gang or a subordinate of the Huang family, he would crack down mercilessly, and the public order situation was getting better and better.

In contrast, on other surfaces in the French Concession, there were frequent crimes, and there were bloody clashes between the Green Gang and the Yellow faction. The press also contributed to the fire, portraying the French Concession as a mess.

……………

In the blink of an eye, autumn has begun, and the day of going to Nanyang is getting closer and closer, and everything is going according to plan, whether it is the confluence of green and red, the expansion of power, or the construction of factories and the start of production.

Arsenic vanamin is becoming more and more widely marketed, because the patent right is in hand, and there is no external right to give production rights, and as a special drug, the monopoly makes the price very high. In China, new drugs are distributed to distributors around the country, and the price is limited to five times the maximum price, about 10 yuan per package; For foreign countries, the price of new drugs is five times the price of the factory, and after crossing the ocean, I heard that in some places, the price of new drugs is sold at up to 20 times.

The acid-alkali plant has also started trial production, and it will take some time for the product to reach the design output and quality, but this is not a great difficulty; The equipment of the coal and coke plant has just arrived and is being installed and commissioned; The power generation equipment has arrived in Hong Kong and will arrive in ...... soon

The windfall profits of new drugs have made the income and expenditure reach a balance, and there is a surplus; Although the bad rules (protection fees) collected by the gangs have been greatly reduced, as the territory expands, the income is enough to maintain the operation; Under the growing influence of Xingyitang and the future of Chen Anbao in the French Concession, the business of the car dealership is guaranteed. Through this car dealership, the Chinese trade union in Shanghai will usher in a significant expansion.

The air blowing outside the car window was still a little hot, blowing Caifeng's fluffy hair. She leaned back in her chair, shoulders against Chen Wenqiang's shoulders, and looked out the window intently.

In the distance, a row of two-story single-door bungalows has been half completed, with a private lawn in front of the building and behind the building, and a small public garden opposite the whole western-style building. It is a residential area specially prepared for engineers and technicians from foreign manufacturers who come to provide technical guidance, as well as foreign professors and scholars who will be hired in the future. The establishment of a polytechnic university or college has always been what Chen Wenqiang hopes to accomplish.

Most of the schools run by foreigners in China have their own ulterior political motives, and they are very successful. Historically, during the Republican era, thousands or even thousands of college students graduated from universities founded in China by Anglo-American churches and non-governmental educational institutions, and then entered the government or industrial and commercial fields, and their political views naturally tended to be pro-American and pro-British.

In order to meet this demand, the curricula of these schools were also dominated by liberal arts and theology - the former to infiltrate the superstructure, the latter to spread influence to the lower classes - and at most some medical courses, but not very willing to produce industrial and scientific talents for China in order to create competitors for their own enterprises in the Chinese market.

The only exception seems to be Germany, perhaps because the Germans were more pragmatic, and in 1909 they opened a polytechnic college in Asia at that time, the Dehua University, and trained a number of excellent engineers and technicians for China with German-style rigor.

Chen Wenqiang did not know this historical detail, but in the actual development process, he personally experienced the lack of science and engineering talents and the difficulty of starting an industry. Therefore, he would rather suffer a little loss, but also establish cooperation with the Frankfurt Experimental Institute in Germany, where Ehrlich is located, and there will be more cooperation with research institutions in other countries in the future, so as to hire foreign experts and professors in physical chemistry, even teachers.

But now, Chen Wenqiang is not thinking about the university, but about what Zou Rong mentioned in his letter. After sending Zou Rong to Japan, in addition to financially supporting the newspaper "China in the Twentieth Century", Chen Wenqiang also asked Zou Rong to help him find talents and report various news. As for the talents, not only in science and engineering, but also in Qiongzhou, which he is concerned about; or there are prominent officials in the family who can help Chen Wenqiang implement the plan to buy official land.

Although Chen Wenqiang's idea is good, he wants Zou Rong to become a bridge between him and the students studying in Japan, and always grasp the dynamics of international students, and find talents from them to enrich his team. But in the atmosphere of international students' fanatical efforts to save the country and the people, Zou Rong is not as simple as just running a newspaper.
