Chapter 688: Contact with the Nanyang Chinese

On the eighth day of the new year, Singapore was still immersed in a peaceful atmosphere, because compared to the Netherlands, the British attitude towards the Chinese was relatively moderate on the surface, and many Chinese chose to immigrate to Singapore, which also created the prosperity of Singapore, replacing Manila and Kuala Lumpur, and becoming one of the most prosperous cities in Southeast Asia.

In the city center, a hotel full of Chinese style, today the lights are colorful, the hotel itself will not open during the Spring Festival, generally after the fifteenth day of the first month, but today there are big customers, with a high price to quote the entire restaurant, and it is a banquet among the Chinese several important families, after understanding a qiē, the boss specially invited the chef back, specially opened for a day.

The boss's surname is Yu, his hometown Fujian, his ancestors came to Southeast Asia more than 200 years ago, and he has always been a restaurant, which is also a famous one in Southeast Asia, but today's guests came to surprise him, and they are greeted at the door.

In the restaurant, the lights are colorful, and in the largest banquet hall, there are already more than a dozen people sparsely seated, and they are all obvious to each other, they all know each other, they are all from Borneo, and there are influential families in Southeast Asia, worth at least more than 300,000 US dollars, in this era, they are also considered rich.

Two people came together, and everyone inside stood up, they were thin and worthy, but compared to these people, they were still a little weaker, obviously, the two people met at the door, and greeted each other affectionately.

The younger one saluted the older man and asked, "Boss Huang, fortunately, I didn't expect that you are also in Singapore!" ”

"Isn't Boss Chen also here, didn't I hear that you went to Penang?"

"I went a few days ago, and I've come back, it seems that Boss Huang has the same purpose as me."

The younger one is Tan Kah Kee, at this time, he is not the richest man in Southeast Asia, but many years of business experience and character make him unique among the Chinese in Penang, plus in the past two years, the Northwest has been secretly supported, so that his development is far better than it used to be, and he is currently worth at least 4 million, which is also an upstart in the industry.

As for the old man surnamed Huang, it is Huang Weiyong, the head of the Huang family, the Huang family has been rooted in Borneo for at least 300 years, as early as 200 years ago, it was a big landowner, after going through ups and downs, enduring, it is an old and strong family, I don't know how much it is, in short, it is much stronger than an upstart like Chen Jiageng.

They are all celebrities in the Chinese circle, everyone looks down and doesn't look up, they have a common language with each other, and they greet each other, almost unintentionally, two circles are formed, one circle is of course dominated by Huang Weiyong, he is surrounded by some large and small landlords, and the other circle, naturally, is dominated by Chen Jiageng, and around him, there are mostly some people who do business or distribute goods.

People came one after another, almost all of them integrated into the two circles, just as they were talking, Shi Zhongyu of the Shi family also entered the hotel, and the others were taken aback, Shi Zhongyu is also a figure in Southeast Asia, and can insert a foot in the shipbuilding industry monopolized by the powers, and can produce up to 4000 tons of cargo ships, such a level, it can definitely be a tycoon level, but unfortunately later because of the suppression, the designer invited was poached, and at present, he can only barely repair ships, but the foundation created, But everyone admired, a few people who were also doing business also greeted him, even Chen Jiageng, who was in the canned food business, couldn't do without freight, and when he was just starting, he received the favor of Shi Lao.

It's not that there is no stronger than three people in Southeast Asia, yes, but they are not recognized by the Chinese circle, they are all defectors to the powers, or colonists, to do Kapitan, it sounds good, but in fact, it is to help the great powers bully their dogs, the orthodox Chinese circle, more admired are people who start with their skills, among them, three people are already outstanding. The three of them know each other, they are all on the side of Nanyang, and they are all shaking the characters of one side when they stomp their feet, and the three of them gather here because of the invitation of the same group, and they suddenly have a little bottom in their hearts, but they didn't say it, and they exchanged a few words of greeting, and they merged into their respective circles.

Soon, the time for the agreed banquet came, and the two young people came to this room in this restaurant together, they were very young, and the young ones made them slightly surprised, but if you look carefully, their hearts moved, as the old fritters who have been up and down in the shopping mall for so many years, they look at people's eyes, very poisonous, must be Cheng dù, you can see at a glance the advantages and disadvantages of this person, although these two are young, but calm and good, facing their scrutiny, they are actually calm and abnormal, they are not idle people, when, The descendants of Nanyang have such characters.

It was Zhu Hua and Yang Shu who came, starting from Yang Yuanzhao's departure, most of the time, not only time, but also a lot of interests, with a large number of goods, to contact a part of the circle relations, and finally invited such a group of Nanyang Chinese leaders here, paid a lot, but the final result is satisfactory, at least the Huang family, the Shi family and Chen Jiageng, the three main characters have been in place.

"Hello everyone, we are from Demei Farm and want to do a business with you!

"Do a business?" Huang Weiyong was stunned for a moment, looked at the two young people who were a little unspeakable, smiled slightly, and said, "Do you know who I am?" ”

"The head of the Huang family!"

"So you know!" Huang Weiyong conceitedly said, the Huang family was very rich in Nanyang as early as a hundred years ago, not to mention directly looking for them to do a business, even if it is a big shopkeeper under him, there are very few people who receive business, they all have their own inherent systems and channels, and they will not be replaced lightly, of course, the reason why I came here is also because the big shopkeeper reported a sum at the end of the year, because of the transaction with Germany and the United States, he made an extra 500,000 yuan, and I came to see if the business decided by him was only 500,000 yuan. Hardly possible.

The same feeling still appears in other people, and so does Chen Jiageng, but he earns more than Huang Weiyong, after all, Chen Jiageng is a businessman, Huang Weide's main business is a landlord, and his side business is business, as for Shi Zhongyu, he came for other reasons, and he didn't say anything. 0

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, whether you are qualified or not, let's talk about it after reading it." Zhu Yu made a circle salute and said.

"Is it possible, do you still want to keep us?" Huang Weiyong said angrily.

"No, please take a look at this list!"

Three thick lists, handed to the three, Huang Weiyong directly threw aside, Shi Zhongyu's hand tapped lightly on it, but he didn't look at it, only Chen Jiageng subconsciously picked up the list.

"Boss Chen, don't look at it, our Huang family will not do business with such a person of unknown origin, and your contact with the big shopkeeper before will be broken!"

Shi Zhongyu was about to speak, but he saw Chen Jiageng with a solemn face, looking at the information, he knew that Chen Jiageng was an honest person and a rising star, for so many years, they all relied on Zuyin, which obtained the wealth, for the self-made Chen Jiageng admired very much, Chen Jiageng's vision also faintly became, the vision of the entire Nanyang Chinese businessmen, his words, for many people, has a great impact, maybe should be seen.

Turning the first page, it was suddenly the supporting project of the 100,000 kilowatt thermal power station, Shi Zhongyu somewhat understood, why Tan Kah Kee was willing to look down, these days, Tan Kah Kee's factory was established in Penang, but the supporting power stations of the great powers are more to support the harbor and the Governor's concession area, to Tan Kah Kee's intermittent, he wants to build a power station, the power station has always been controlled in the hands of foreigners, asked a few, the price is extremely expensive, often millions, much more expensive.

Millions of wealth, Chen Jiageng is not nothing, but after he asked, generally in the West, the price of these things will not exceed 200,000, even if the freight and installation are not more than 300,000, that is, it is pinched by the West, and the price is more than 3 times, no wonder Chen Jiageng is unwilling to accept, once accepted, not only this power station will not become a new growth point of Chen's enterprise, but will become a burden, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The price of the power station on the first page is only 180,000, no need to pay foreign exchange, you can pay silver dollars, such a price, how not to attract Chen Jiageng.

It seems that the other party has long made an investigation, continue to turn over, but some goods and factory equipment, each price, is very cheap, compared with the daily price, combined, the total amount is very amazing, if all built, I am afraid that it will not be more than 50 million, when, the Chinese have such a talent, can make so many things, but when it came to the end, he suddenly saw that 10,000 tons of dock (old), can be guaranteed to use, the price of 1 million, There is also an appendix at the back, which can provide a full set of drawings and production technology essentials for 10,000-ton giant ships to help buyers form the production capacity of 5,000-10,000 tons of ordinary freighters.

The price of 1 million is not expensive at all, for the dock, it is the largest investment in the shipyard, the Huang family has long wanted to upgrade the shipyard, but unfortunately, there has been no way, the large-scale machine equipment is controlled in the hands of foreigners, similar to the dock, the large-scale machine equipment has a huge influence on national strength and production, and it is impossible to invest in this side at all.

Now Shi Zhongyu can't help it anymore, the reason why he came here is that someone mentions yì, he can try his luck here and change the status quo of the shipyard, this has always been a problem he is worried about, the shipyard has been getting worse and worse since the previous technician and engineer were poached, not only can not produce thousand-ton cargo ships, and even the maintenance business has shrunk, and now not only can you get the dock, but even have technical support and drawings, which is not only a thousand dollars, it is equivalent to all of a sudden, the scale of the shipyard has expanded, Even the current crisis has been completely resolved.

Shi Zhongyu is not as calm as Chen Jiageng, and he thinks about it day and night, and almost said silently: "There is really a dock!" ”R1152
