"How is this possible?" , Zhang Zhenxun subconsciously exclaimed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"How could it not be? As long as the next decisive battle is won, the British Navy will only have the ability to defend its homeland, and the overseas colonies are not meat on the chopping block? Other powers, you say? Hehe, we now have twelve 10,000-ton capital ships, even if we ignore the performance advantage of being able to pick three out, the number alone exceeds that of other powers other than Britain combined, even if they can really unite, there is nothing to fear. Seeing this, Li Hui snorted coldly, leaving Zhang Zhenxun dumbfounded, but he didn't tell the other party that this almost invincible strength could only last for three or five years......

After scaring Zhang Zhenxun, Li Hui asked him to talk about the most conservative situation first, "But I think the British government should not be so stupid, so you can talk about it according to our plan to obtain Malaya and the Dutch East Indies?" ”

"The whole Dutch East Indies?" , Zhang Zhenxun was shocked at first, but immediately understood that the Netherlands' national strength may not be one-tenth of that of Britain, and China can even defeat Britain, let alone the Netherlands. Moreover, unlike Britain, which had deep pockets and could afford to pay reparations, the Dutch could not pay enough "ransom" anyway, so it was only natural that China would occupy the Dutch colonies in Asia.

Thinking of the bright prospect of the entire Dutch East Indies being controlled by himself, Zhang Zhenxun swallowed his saliva unconsciously, but suddenly found a strange smile on Li Hui's face, and was suddenly startled, and gave birth to a guess that he couldn't believe, "Mr. Li, you don't want to rule the South Seas directly, do you?" Like on the mainland? ”

"Yes, and just like what is being done on the mainland, the political power will go down to the grassroots level, and there will be neighborhood offices in cities and towns, and village offices in rural areas, as the most basic government agencies, is there anything wrong with that?" , Li Hui asked with a smile on his face, but he was faintly worried in his heart.

Because of the goodwill brought by Changyu wine, Li Hui decided to fight for it again, and directly expressed his clear-cut attitude, lest Zhang Zhenxun think that there was still room for bargaining and make mistakes again and again, "Don't say that there is a situation in Nanyang that can't do this." The so-called specific situation of Nanyang is nothing more than the distance and the large number of natives, both of which are not difficult problems for our Datong Party. The impact of long distance is mainly in the two aspects of transportation and communication, first of all, although the distance of Nanyang is indeed very far, but because they are all coastal, you can use cheap shipping, so this aspect is more advantageous than many areas in the mainland; As for the natives, as long as people leave the land and stay and replace them with Chinese immigrants, it will no longer be a problem......"

If other people said so, Zhang Zhenxun would definitely think that he was a madman or an idiot, but Li Hui now has the world's number one force, and he may not be able to do it. Zhang Zhenxun also felt great pressure because of this, he knew very well that Li Hui's idea looked beautiful, but for a Chinese businessman like him, it was tantamount to a catastrophe from heaven, which was to cut off their financial route!

Although the Chinese in the Dutch East Indies and Malaya have been slaughtered repeatedly, the wealth of the Chinese merchants in the South Seas also mainly comes from the natives, why the Chinese who only account for a few percent of the total population in the Dutch East Indies can control more than half of the wealth, is it not because the natives here are stupid and easy to make money? If Li Hui really had a way to replace the natives of Nanyang with shrewd and cunning Chinese, on the one hand, it would be difficult to make money and profits would drop sharply, and on the other hand, there would be merchants from the mainland competing with them, and then the days would be in dire straits!

The fundamental interests of himself, his family and even the entire Nanyang Chinese businessman group are involved, and Zhang Zhenxun cannot be indisputable, even if his true thoughts cannot be revealed, he can exaggerate the difficulty of this matter!

Who knew that Li Hui sneered after hearing two sentences, "There were more Indians in North America back then, how many are left now?" ”

"This must not be done, indiscriminate killing will hurt the peace of heaven!" Zhang Zhenxun was shocked, and then realized that it was difficult to convince a decisive "founding emperor" with such a statement, and then added a reason that seemed more favorable, "If the killing is carried out, the local Chinese will inevitably be affected......"

"Rest assured, our Datong Party is not so cold-blooded, unless they flee or even resist, we are forced to use thunder methods." , Li Hui first explained a few words, and then suddenly changed the conversation, "But it is the Japanese army that performs this mission, maybe there will be a misunderstanding, otherwise?" Let the Chinese and overseas Chinese on the island of Java move to Batavia and Surabaya, so that we can let go of our hands......"

Zhang Zhenxun was suddenly shocked, "This is not good! If everyone is gone, there will be no one to take care of the property, and something will definitely happen! ”

"It doesn't matter, if you meet the requirements, the government will compensate you afterwards." , Li Hui smiled and comforted, but did not tell the other party that according to the policy of the Datong Party, land must be nationalized and redistributed, pawnshops, rice shops, and money villages are not allowed to open, all of which do not meet the requirements, and after these four items are removed, the wealth of Chinese businessmen in Nanyang will shrink by at least more than eighty percent......

However, even if Zhang Zhenxun didn't know this, he could hear Li Hui's bad intentions, and he couldn't help but feel sad and indignant in his heart, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still there, Zhang Zhenxun hated it for being corrupt and incompetent, and couldn't protect them as overseas people, and now he finally has a strong government that has the ability to protect them, but he is more ruthless to these Nanyang Chinese businessmen than the Western colonial authorities.

But what Zhang Zhenxun didn't know was that Li Hui would change his naïve idea because they overseas Chinese businessmen had disappointed him again and again. Li Hui now finally understands that staunch patriots like Tan Kah Kee who do not hesitate to break their homes for the country are only a minority among overseas Chinese businessmen, and the vast majority of people, including Zhang Zhenxun, have always put interests first.

Take Zhang Zhenxun as an example, although he was considered a patriotic businessman by later generations, after careful analysis, he will find problems.

At the peak of his career (around 1870) and before, Zhang Zhenxun did not invest at all in China, and did not return to China until his overseas business went downhill, but he chose wineries that were not beneficial to the country and the people (considering the situation in China at that time), and even if private investment was not allowed in heavy industry at that time, he should give priority to investing in industries such as textile and flour, which are closely related to the lives of ordinary people. With Zhang Zhenxun's insight, it is impossible not to think of this, and the reason why he did this is nothing more than that he feels that wine is more profitable.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Zhenxun's return to China to invest is actually just a move to return to China to invest and open up new profit channels after the development of overseas industries has been restricted by the Western colonial government, and at the same time share risks, which is a very insightful approach, but to call it an industrial salvation, it is not worthy of the name.

Well, in fact, Zhang Zhenxun in his later years still set up a little business that really benefited the country and the people, but now he definitely doesn't have this awareness, and his attitude and reaction today also show this, he still positions himself as a businessman more than his Chinese background.
