Song Zhewen admires his younger brother very much now, he not only has a financial talent beyond ordinary people, but can even be said to be beyond experts. Moreover, he heard Wang Dong and Situ Leiden talk about his younger brother, Wang Dong's praise was good, but Situ Leiden also praised his younger brother, and even Situ Leiden told him that his younger brother is worthy of being a German military talent, and he is very unique in leading troops and training, and the most rare thing is that he is also very politically visionary. In time, it will surely be a new political star in China.

You must know that Situ Leiden is not only a China expert, but also has many connections in the United States, not only with the White House, but also with many members of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Song Zhewen has made up his mind to help his capable brother achieve a career, according to Song Zhewu's request, he registered and established an investment bank in Toronto, Canada, "North American Brothers Investment Bank", and all the gold purchased is stored here as capital. In order to facilitate Song Zhewu's use of funds, he also opened a branch in the British Concession in Tianjin, knowing that his younger brother had more than 100,000 troops and needed money in many places, he specially deposited a large amount of dollars for Song Zhewu to exchange for 500 million oceans, which Song Zhewu could withdraw at any time.

Regarding the matter of Curtis, Song Zhewen told Song Zhewu that he had negotiated with the old Curtis that the "North American Brothers Investment Bank" would lend Curtis Company a one-year financing of $100 million, and if the other party could not return it when it expired, the other party would use 5% of Curtis's shares to compensate. Of course, this idea was made by Song Zhewu, and a year later, Curtis would never be able to return the 100 million US dollars, and it was when Curtis was struggling. And in a few years, those five percent of stocks will be worth billions, if not billions.

Curtiss now has billions of annual book income, but there are many funds that will not be recovered until the end of the year, he is now lending only because he needs liquidity, and banks are now more willing to bring money to financial investment and real estate investors, such loans are not only high interest rates, but also faster return of funds, no one is willing to lend one-year funds to his company.

However, Curtis Sr. would never have imagined that a year later, his company would not be able to repay even $100 million, and at that time, his company's stock would not be cared for at all, and $100 million could even buy 20% of his shares.

The machinery and equipment that Song Zhewen purchased from Curtis to build a small aircraft factory have already been shipped, and Curtiss technicians have come with the ship.

Song Zhewu, who read the letter, held a thick stack of bank cashier's checks in his hand, and couldn't help but burst into tears. In later generations, he has heard a lot about disregarding family affection and seeking to seize property, but his brother can't help but have the slightest covetousness, on the contrary, as long as Song Zhewu needs it, he will not hesitate to give his own money to Song Zhewu. Such an elder brother is even closer than his own brother.

Because Xiao Guodong knew about Song Zhewen, Song Zhewu told Xiao Guodong the content of the letter, and he had absolute trust in Xiao Guodong and Song Zhewu.

Xiao Guodong is also very happy that Song Zhewu has such an elder brother, and the Fourth Route Army can be said to be not short of money from now on. It's just that Xiao Guodong hasn't realized that the funds needed for Song Zhewu's anti-Japanese war plan are not enough, and it is definitely an astronomical amount. Moreover, there is another problem, that is, it is inappropriate to hold such a large sum of money in his hands.

Xiao Guodong also suggested from the suggestion he had said in Xiaogan, 'hand over the financial power of the Fourth Route Army to Li Rujuan to manage'. Since the last time Xiao Guodong proposed it, Song Zhewu has also carefully considered this issue, although he absolutely trusts Xiao Guodong, but these money are his private property, and now it is good to say that these money are to be used on the Fourth Route Army, there is nothing to hide from Xiao Guodong, but once one day he needs to use this money to do something that only he should know, it will be very inconvenient.

Therefore, Song Zhewu decided that in the future, the military expenses given by Chiang Kai-shek, Yan Xishan and others to the Fourth Route Army would be in the hands of Xiao Guodong, and the missing military expenses would be listed by Xiao Guodong and collected from Li Rujuan, and all Song Zhewu's property and factories would be managed by Li Rujuan.

When they heard that the military expenses of the Fourth Route Army were only enough for two months, except for Xiao Guodong and Li Rujuan, who knew in advance, everyone else had shocked expressions.

Song Zhewu looked at everyone and said, "I can see everyone's expressions, and I am very surprised that our Fourth Route Army will also be short of money!" ”

After a pause, Song Zhewu felt that this pass was almost sold, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have been prepared for money, I can tell you a secret, my brother is doing business in the United States, to be exact, he should be a banker, because he now has a bank in Canada, and he has sent me a large amount of money, which I can withdraw at any time now." As for how much, I won't say, I can only say that the amount is very large. ”

Everyone's mood was just very depressed by the lack of money in the Fourth Route Army, and at this time, they were extremely excited that Song Zhewu had a large amount of money that could be withdrawn, although Song Zhewu did not say how much, but they could feel from Song Zhewu's tone and expression that the money would not be less.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and Zhang Yafei first took the lead in applauding excitedly.

Song Zhewu saw that he had achieved the result he wanted, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't be happy first, I have better things, and when I finish talking later, it's not too late for you to be happy together." ”

Their commander has a God of Wealth brother, and the Fourth Route Army is no longer short of money, which means that the Fourth Route Army can also actively develop and grow without restrictions, and the capture of Shanxi and the War of Resistance will be smoothly realized, is there anything more gratifying than this? Everyone eagerly waited for Song Zhewu to say that the next thing was better than the Fourth Route Army having money.

Song Zhewu put away his smile and said, "If we want to maintain the current situation of our Fourth Route Army, I can say that we can do it now, because the money my brother gave me is enough for us to use for a long time." But if we just keep the current situation, it is possible to seize Shanxi, and even gain more benefits in the domestic struggle, but ......"

Speaking of this, Song Zhewu said in an accentuated tone: "If someone thinks that the Fourth Route Army can carry out a war of resistance and defeat Yue himself in the current situation, it is a big mistake. Compared to myself, not only do we have no heavy artillery, but we also don't have planes. Comparing the DH-10, which we regard as treasures, with the planes of the Japanese army, is like comparing a rifle with a machine gun. And we don't have tanks yet, and even less warships. We don't have a strong industrial system, we don't have a complete set of scientific research institutions, and we don't have a lot of excellent scientists. And the basis of all this, the economy, is money in the same language, and the economic strength of our Fourth Route Army is that of beggars and rich men compared with the economy. War is all about money, and without money you can't have advanced weapons, so you have to use human flesh and blood to fight the enemy's steel cannons. ”

Song Zhewu reached out to touch the cigarette on the table, felt empty, had to drink saliva and said, "In other words, our money is not enough." Even now we have a lot of money, but it is still not enough, and once the war breaks out, we will not be able to buy the weapons and equipment we urgently need. Therefore, we must have our own military-industrial enterprises, our own scientific research system, and our own aircraft factories. And all this requires money, a lot of money, and this amount of money that we have now is far from enough. So where does the money come from? Only by us constantly trying to make money, we can't just have eggs, we have to have chickens that can lay eggs. The money that my eldest brother and Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan gave me were essentially eggs, and these eggs were eaten one less than one, and our existing factories were chickens, hens that would constantly lay eggs, but we would lay too few chickens, and we needed too many eggs. There is only one way to solve the problem of fewer people and more people, and that is to raise more chickens. What are our chickens? That's the factory, and we're going to build a lot of factories to lay bigger and more eggs. ”

Song Zhewu changed his words, looked at everyone and said: "Now we have a few factories are okay, after all, the number is small, but if we are in more factories, so that the loose management will not work, we must learn from the experience of large Western companies, and also set up a company, this company will be a large modern company with a comprehensive surname, and it will not only have several existing factories in the future, but also steel plants, aircraft factories, automobile factories, arsenals, electronics factories, chemical plants, cement factories, pharmaceutical factories, and a series of enterprises such as mines. In a word, as long as we need the Fourth Route Army, we will have it. ”

"This company needs to be established immediately, and in the future, we will have to do the foreign economic activities of the Fourth Route Army. I have already thought of the name, it is called "Xinghua Co., Ltd.", this company is headed by Li Rujuan as vice chairman and general manager, Sun Jiahui as deputy general manager, and the chairman is naturally me.

Because after Song Zhewu discussed with Xiao Guodong, he only told Li Rujuan about this idea on the way to see Li Rusong, and the details were not too clear. Li Rujuan asked a little puzzled: "All the property of this company should be said to be yours, that is to say, it is a person, this should not be called a joint-stock company?" ”

Li Rujuan sat behind Song Zhewu's side, Song Zhewu leaned slightly and said: "Rujuan is right, this company and even the entire Fourth Route Army should be said to be my Song Zhewu's personal property, that is to say, it is a sole proprietorship, and the company should not be called a joint-stock company." But ......"
