Chapter 1361 has the strength and is not afraid of challenges (medium)

"Boom—"

A bolt of lightning exploded at low altitude, and the lights in the conference room suddenly went out, and it took a while for the light to return. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The wind and rain outside the window are getting stronger and stronger, and the branches of the French plane tree are whipping against the outer wall of the building, making a "popping" sound. The magnitude, duration and rainfall of the typhoon were beyond everyone's expectations, and many people began to worry that if the torrential rain continued, it would inevitably be another serious flood.

Seeing that everyone was a little distracted, Lao Shoudao instructed Shen Fengdao to close the curtains of the two windows of the conference room, coughed lightly, and then asked Zheng Jun, the representative of the South China Group, to speak.

Zheng Jun can be regarded as an old man of An Jiajun, he was born in Lincun, Guangzhou, served as a guard by An Yi's side for a period of time, and then studied at the old Nanchang Non-commissioned Officer School, and entered the Department of Economics of Jiangnan University of Technology for further study. When An Yi and Ou Chuer got married in 32, Tang Jun followed Lu Kaiming south to Hong Kong and officially founded the South China Group, which was one of the founders of the South China Group.

Zheng Jun stood up, greeted the participants, and began the briefing.

From the very beginning of its establishment, Nanhua Group has followed An Yi's orders and deliberately distanced itself from An Jiajun, Jiangnan Group and South Sichuan Group. After the group entered Hong Kong, it started with light industrial enterprises such as watch factories, cigarette factories, toy factories, mold factories and garment factories, and then spent huge sums of money to build the Kowloon Port Terminal and warehouse area, making full use of Shanghai's "one. When a large number of wealthy people fled south after the 28 incident, they set up real estate companies and construction companies to build and speculate on real estate, and ordered steam turbine passenger and cargo ships with a total tonnage of 500,000 tons from the Amway Shipyard controlled by the China Youth Society of the United States, thus forming a powerful ocean-going passenger and cargo fleet.

With this achievement, the South China Group was not satisfied, and Lu Kaiming, with his foresight, dared to open a large supermarket in Central, West Wan on Hong Kong Island and Mong Kok in Kowloon, which was all the rage, and took advantage of the great opportunity of wide media attention around the world, the South China Group opened branches in Southeast Asia, Australia and South America, and its influence increased dramatically. As of July this year, Nanhua Group has opened 52 large supermarkets in more than 40 countries and regions around the world, and even Tokyo, Osaka and other places have Nanhua Group's supermarkets settled.

At the same time as carrying out capital operation and expansion abroad, Lu Kaiming also occupied land in Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung, Kwun Tong, Causeway Bay and other places in Hong Kong, and built flour mills, match factories, paper mills, seafood processing factories, daily chemical products factories, fan factories, automobile factories, alloy factories, pharmaceutical factories and other factories and enterprises, which not only solved the problem of Hong Kong's employment difficulties during the economic crisis in one fell swoop, but also attracted a large number of young and strong laborers from the southeast coastal areas into Hong Kong. Since then, the South China Group has established garment companies, bus companies and Chinese fast food chains that are closely related to people's lives, and has become a well-deserved industrial king in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

For a long time, industry and finance have always been difficult to separate, generally strong capital of industrial groups, will be in the self-admitting full wings after opening a bank, as a co-ordination of corporate funds, to avoid financial risks of an investment, South China Group is also vulgar, in Hong Kong Kowloon founded the South China Bank, because of the huge property and industry as a guarantee, attracted a large number of depositors to patronize, deposit and loan business is increasing day by day, has now developed into one of the four major banks in Hong Kong.

Of course, while the business is thriving, the South China Group has not forgotten to establish a good relationship with the Hong Kong Governor's government, behind every newly established company, there are cadres and shares given to colonial government officials, and at the same time, Lu Kaiming also in the name of the Governor Sir Pei Lu, in Hong Kong, Kowloon and Lantau Island, set up hospitals and schools, and improve roads and transportation, all of which have brought an excellent reputation to the South China Group, and the Hong Kong government has also opened the door to all aspects, and has done its best to support the development and growth of the South China Group.

Nanhua Group, an enterprise founded and controlled by An Yi from the beginning, deliberately let it get out of the shackles of the first place, wander between all forces, and act as a bridge and intermediary, therefore, any action against the first, South China Group does not participate. At the beginning of the third year, the situation in North China became increasingly severe, An Yi secretly instructed Lu Kaiming to establish trade contacts with the government as soon as possible, and even quietly handed over a batch of penicillin to the South China Group to sell to the country in order to pry open the country.

Lu Kaiming took advantage of this good start and introduced to the government and the army a drug produced by the Nanhua Pharmaceutical Factory that can increase the courage and wisdom of soldiers, saying that the British government also purchased a large number of them for its colonial army, and now the British army stationed in Burma and India is generally using it, which is of great benefit to improving the combat effectiveness of the army. The chief of staff and the chief of military orders personally tested the effect of the medicine, and found that taking the medicine can indeed improve the self-confidence and observation of the soldiers, and achieve the effect of enhancing combat capability in a short period of time, and did not hesitate to place orders for purchase, ready to be used during the operation. In this way, "ecstasy" appeared in the Japanese army in the face of "brave pills", opening up a financial route for the pharmaceutical factory of Nanhua Group, and at the same time gaining more recognition from the government and the army.

Due to Lu Kaiming's expanding influence and his "good impression" of ***, both the military and political circles attach great importance to winning over Lu Kaiming, and Lu Kaiming also took this opportunity to visit *** frequently, and as a British nobleman, he interacted with *** powerful people and obtained a lot of confidential information. At the same time, under the cover of the South China Group, an enterprise holding high the banner of "Sino-Japanese friendship", a large number of Anjia Army agents disguised as overseas Chinese have mixed in, mixed in all social strata, and many agents with cleverly disguised backgrounds have even entered the military core of the Japanese army.

Under the cover of the South China Group, the forces of Hongxingshe also smoothly entered the mainland, North Korea, Taiwan and other places, quietly developed, and did some secret work.

Of course, many secrets that need to be strictly guarded, Zheng Jun did not disclose them in the meeting, seeing the slightly complicated eyes of the participants, Zheng Jun said with a wry smile:

"Due to the commander's instructions, Hong Xingshe has also begun to contact with *** people since last year, showing a mercenary posture, *** secret service has asked our group to make peace on behalf of us, I believe that the two sides will soon come together, so that in the eyes of the outside world, *** people have another traitor organization as a helper. However, no matter what, in the future, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, with the cover of the South China Group and the Hung Xing Society, no matter what the future trend of the war is, and no matter whether the insatiable *** people will make a move against Britain and France and other countries, the Chinese in Hong Kong and the Nanyang region will at least have a little more guarantee for survival. The Nanhua Group and the Hongxing Society can also take advantage of the collapse of order in the world to earn more profits and serve the great cause of resistance against Japan.

"But unfortunately, our Nanhua Group has now been targeted by some domestic media, and the angry scolding of 'forgetting the ancestors' is endless, and Ren Gong also denounced General Manager Lu and me as *** thieves in Hong Kong newspapers, warning us that we must rein in the precipice. If it weren't for the fact that Hung Xing She's monitoring every move in Hong Kong, it would not be possible that the top leaders of our group would have been assassinated many times by patriots. ”

"Zheng Jun, thank you for your silent dedication, hard work comrades!"

An Yi raised his hand with difficulty, applauded vigorously, and said sincerely: "The work of the secret front has always been the hardest, not only can it not be understood by the countrymen and its family, but it will even be in danger of life, think about it, if it were not for your efforts over the years, how could we get so much core news from the Japanese army?" Don't worry, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I will rehabilitate you, and I will ask the chairman of the committee to award you medals. If I am gone, the seniors here and my family will also prove it to you. ”

An Yi is not afraid that the secrets of the South China Group and Hongxing Society will be leaked out, and all of you here today are close friends of An Yi for many years, and they also have interdependent interests, and they will never betray this secret that is related to the life and death of the entire group.

Hearing An Yi say this, Zheng Jun's eyes turned red: "Commander, don't say these unlucky words...... Why are you coming together, isn't it because of you? We can bear this grievance, but you must pay attention to your own safety, you don't know, after the news of your accident reached Hong Kong, the company was in chaos all of a sudden, and most of the group were students who graduated from the Syrian Non-commissioned Officer School, Southwest University of Political Science and Law and Polytechnic College, and they all received great favors from the commander, fight one to protect the capital, fight two to earn one, fight ten to earn nine...... If it weren't for General Manager Lu's repeated requests to keep us calm and wait for the wreckage of your plane to be found before making a decision, the company would definitely suffer huge losses......"

"Boy, do you hear that? Your life is not yours alone, but everyone's! Lao Shoudao listened to Zheng Jun's words, was very touched, and glared at An Yi and said.

An Yi nodded a little ashamedly, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to meet Ou Chu'er and Feng Jieyun's tender and infinite gazes, and said with determination: "I promise, never again!" ”

Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun looked surprised, caressed An Yi's shoulders left and right, and patted them gently, indicating that they understood. Immediately seeing the concerned eyes of the elders around him, his face turned red, he glanced at each other, and lowered his head together, but heard a burst of cheerful laughter from the conference room.

The next to report is Ma Zhiyuan, a representative of the Chinese Youth Society in the United States. Ma Zhiyuan was the first guard to follow An Yi, and his intimate relationship with An Yi was far from being comparable to others, and at the same time, as the No. 2 person in the Huaqing Society, he was in charge of the fate and future of hundreds of thousands of people, and he had already developed the power of a superior, but at this moment, in front of An Yi, he was still like the previous little guard, respectful.

With the great success of the New Deal implemented by President Roosevelt in 33 years, the Huaqing Society has also deliberately contracted the momentum of expansion in recent years and began to cultivate its internal strength. On the surface, it seems that our Huaqing Society is not as prosperous as it was a few years ago, but our foundation is more solid than ever, and we are no longer in the same state as before.

"Our group's subsidiary, Bank of Canada, hired banker Sonny. Under his leadership, he opened branches in all states and territories of the United States, as well as offices in Europe, South America and Asia. By straightening out the relationships within the bank, we quietly built a huge network of offices in all cities and towns across the United States. Now in many rural Americans, there is nothing in the town, there is a KFC fast-food restaurant and a savings bank of the Bank of Canada. After more than two years of growth, Canhua Bank has successfully ranked among the top 10 banks in the United States.

"Our Qinghua real estate company has accumulated rich experience in the construction of Chinatown districts in major cities in the west, and the buildings built are not only beautiful and generous, but also have a reasonable internal structure, so that every space can be used reasonably. Now those properties have become our living advertisements, attracting a steady stream of people to buy our new developments, and today Qinghua Real Estate has a 30% share of the real estate market in the western United States.

"We Yi'an Pharmaceutical is one of the three pharmaceutical groups in North America authorized by the Syrian Institute of Pharmaceutical Research to produce a series of products such as pemoxicillin and sulfonamides, and our production of sulfonamides, panmoxicillin, special cold medicines, Yunnan Baiyao, safflower oil, chaifeng oil and other series of drugs, after passing the drug inspection of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, quickly launched and occupied the market, in just three years, our pharmaceutical group has become a number of drug production institutions in the United States.

"Our Amway Shipyard in Los Angeles, after continuous upgrading and expansion, now has 20 shipyards below 50,000 tons, 10 docks from 50,000 to 5,000 tons, another 10 'hoisting docks' and trestle docks, 542 workshops and other buildings, more than 6,800 mechanical and electrical equipment such as mechanical lifting, transportation, forging and metallurgy, etc., which can produce and repair all ships of 50,000 tons and below. After the introduction of the Merchant Marine Act of 1936 by the U.S. government last year, our shipyard received a large number of orders and its business was booming.

"Our Longan Aircraft Company, which used to be a branch of Fox Aircraft Company, was acquired by our group and quickly established a design and development center, a comprehensive laboratory, an institutional function laboratory and an aircraft engine research and development center. Because we quoted the Syrian fighter production technology, the HA-1 fighter developed in imitation of the A25 fighter was selected by the U.S. War Department and named the P-37 fighter, and has now received an order for 200 aircraft, so the company has developed rapidly. According to my latest information, the so-called advanced fighters quietly sold by the United States to the United States this time are actually the defective products eliminated by the Army Aviation, the Curtiss XP-40 fighter looks like a thick skin, fast flight speed, and powerful enough firepower, but there are many potential safety hazards, and there have been more than ten accidents after equipping the Army Aviation, resulting in the death of 12 pilots. ”

"Is there such a thing? Americans are cunning! ”

An Yi shook his head, and then became a little helpless: "Since last night, the rain has been non-stop, and we can't launch a full-scale air raid on *** at all." According to the analysis of meteorological experts, the rainy weather will continue, and when the weather is clear, the fighters ordered by *** should also be in place. Although there are many problems with the fighters provided by the Americans, they pose a great threat to our strategic bombing institutions, and this kind of strategic bomber represents the highest scientific and technological achievement of our Syrian aircraft factory, and it must not be obtained by small people...... It looks like the bombing plan has to be changed. ”

Lao Shoudao said unhappily: "Anyway, it's all a little action of scratching the boots, what's the difference between blowing up and not blowing?" The Sino-Japanese War was a long-term war, and as long as the resources were obtained from Britain and the United States and other countries in one day, and the industrial strength was not weakened in the air raids for a day, how long would it take to restore these facilities? ”

Speaking of this, Lao Shoudao waved his hand and signaled: "Pony, don't listen to the stinky boy, you continue to speak." ”

Ma Zhiyuan smiled brightly: "In addition to the more important enterprises I mentioned earlier, our AY clothing company, five-star tobacco company, Jiahua insurance company, Anhua electrical group, and Jiahua paper company all occupy a place in the industry, and there is currently Meiya Media Group, which has extensive influence among the American people.

"AIG Media is composed of several parts of the film, record, radio and newspaper industries, of which AIG Film Company was formed on the basis of the merger of three Hollywood studios including Lightning Film Company, and every year it releases 15 movies as planned, and we have built an astonishing number of movie theaters in major cities during the economic crisis, and have built the largest movie theater chain in the United States. At the same time, Mayer Pictures is the second largest shareholder of Disney Studios, and in addition to a share of the revenue from its films, we are ready to work together to build theme parks in California and New York, attracting Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck lovers from all over the world to our parks.

At the same time, the five channels of our Meiya Broadcasting Network, including news, transportation, art, business, and music, have successfully covered all parts of the United States, and the listening rate ranks among the 38 radio stations in the United States. The newspaper group under Meiya Media has also made great progress in the past few years, with sales of Los Angeles Daily and New York Post exceeding 2 million copies, Outlook magazine exceeding 1 million copies, and other local newspapers and weekly magazines also selling well.

"There is also from the second half of last year, we in the United States in the major cities to vigorously promote the 'green life' plan, Jiahua Group holding a press conference on June 1 last year, announced that it will no longer produce carbonated drinks harmful to the human body, but to promote natural health and beneficial to the human body fruit juice drinks and lactic acid drinks, so far, has launched orange juice, water juice, watermelon juice, lemon juice, grape juice and other more than ten kinds of fruit juice drinks, With the slogan of natural green vitamins without any additives in the drink, it quickly won the favor of consumers, many parents choose our fruit juice drinks to replace carbonated drinks such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and our KFC fast food chain has opened in every village in the United States and Canada, and our drinks are sold with fried chicken, desserts, fries, burgers, etc., and the response is extremely enthusiastic.

"In addition, our global energy strategy, the group's company, Longan Mining Company, owns six silver mines in the Midwest of the United States and holds controlling stakes in 11 silver mining companies in Canada, Peru, Mexico, Chile, Australia and other countries. The large copper and uranium mines discovered in the Gobi Desert north of Adelaide, Australia, have been mined at the beginning of last year, and at the same time, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, we have once again discovered a large iron ore with amazing reserves. ”

Zhu Peide, Zhang Hongluan and Shi Zhen were stunned when they heard such secrets for the first time, Zhu Peide interrupted Ma Zhiyuan's words and asked: "The U.S. government has always rejected our Chinese capital, and in addition, it also attaches great importance to industry monopoly. ”

Ma Zhiyuan looked at An Yi. An Yi nodded and explained, "Uncle De, it's actually very simple to do this. In order to avoid constraints within the group and even ***, these enterprises have determined the ownership of property rights from the beginning of their establishment, and it is clear who holds how many shares in their hands, and they are not afraid of others embezzlement. We usually pay a certain amount of money to hire a reputable U.S. citizen to act as a professional manager of the company, and then hold a controlling stake in these companies through the layers of offshore companies registered in the British Virgin Islands, British Jersey and Bermuda. In the eyes of the U.S. government, these are authentic U.S. companies, enterprises that pay taxes to the U.S. government in accordance with the law and are protected. ”

Zhu Peide didn't understand why, glanced at Zhang Hongluan and Shi Zhen, shook his head and said: "I don't understand these at all, I'm old, and I'm behind the times!" ”

"Uncle De should be old and strong, who sees Uncle De now, not to mention that Uncle De is getting younger and younger?"

An Yi smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, Uncle De, we have a whole set of methods to deal with the British and American governments, and there will be no problems." Zhiyuan, go on! ”

Ma Zhiyuan nodded and continued: "Except for the accidents I just said, our underground smuggling routes are still not broken, through the fleet of the Chinese group all over the world, Huaqing Society now controls more than sixty percent of the drug trade share in the United States, and at the same time, the counterfeit banknotes such as yen, dollar, and pound sterling that we have made are also quietly transported to all parts of the world through our smuggling network.

"All of these have built up a huge economic system above and below the ground of the Huaqing Society, and we try our best to root ourselves in the soil of the United States, absorb the advanced science and technology of the United States, and then pass it on to our South Sichuan Research Institute to analyze it as soon as possible, and research and manufacture more advanced things."

Zhu Peide, Zhang Hongluan, Shi Zhen and others were dizzy when they heard this, and they roughly calculated in their hearts that the four major overseas groups alone could provide hundreds of millions of dollars of funds to China every year, continuously supplementing the huge losses of the Anti-Japanese War. And the well-known Jiangnan Group and South Sichuan Group are just things that An Jiajun put on the bright side, most people are afraid that they still think that An Jiajun can't make ends meet, who would have thought that there are so many bends in the middle?

Thinking of this, Zhu Peide, Zhang Hongluan, and Shi Zhen were all in high spirits, and they strengthened their determination to be together with An Jiajun, and suddenly became optimistic about the future of anti-Japanese resistance.
