Chapter 245: Down to the South Seas
There is some special information that proves that Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka tried to accept the warning of the Chinese Empire to stop the current stage of the naval race, but it is undoubtedly a tragedy that some low-ranking officers of the Nakamoto Navy sought to stop the news by assassinating Yoshiichi Tanaka, so that Yoshiichi Tanaka finally chose to remain silent.
This era lived in a tragic worldview, one of the most unfortunate events in human history, and its starting point was precisely social Darwinism.
When Fukuzawa Yukichi demanded that he break away from Asia and join Europe in terms of social ideology and system, Taguchi Ukichi, another famous thinker of the Meiji Restoration, also put forward an even more bizarre idea, that is, to say that his own race should also break away from Asia and join Europe, in response to the Caucasian theory of racial superiority that flooded the whole world from the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century.
When Churchill said that he would rather be sunk by the German Navy when the British aircraft carrier Athletic and two heavy cruisers were sunk by the Navy, he was referring to the supremacy of the Caucasian race.
When the Imperial Army defeated Austria-Hungary in the European theater and once again routed millions of Russian Red Army in the Sino-Soviet War, the inner doubts and anguish of the Anglo-Saxon race in Europe were understood only by themselves.
After a comprehensive argument, the most famous scholar at that time, Shochichiro Kotanibe, claimed that his ancestors were from the "Gad" tribe that had disappeared from the twelve tribes of Israel, that he was "the true line of the Hebrew gods", and that his ancestors were "the descendants of Gad, the son of Abraham", and their most favorable evidence was that they were much whiter than the Chinese, and they were one of the Caucasians.
Based on the research of Junichiro Kotanibe, he claimed that the earliest country was established by Egypt, where the legendary queen of the Japanese was the queen of ancient Egypt, and the territory of the empire once spanned the entire Eurasian continent and conquered the whole world from east to west.
Now it seems that such so-called research is too absurd and shameless, but in 1928, these legendary studies were in vogue throughout the Zoben, and every "evidence" that came out would excite the entire society and the people.
Whether it is the Ise incident or the current Sino-Chinese naval competition, Song Biao has truly understood the book and this era, in short, this is an era far from reason, if you have to use reason to explain every international event, especially those international events around the book, you can't draw the right conclusion at all.
It's a very difficult thing to understand.
Therefore, don't try how to understand where the surname of the book of this period is, the book of the early 20th century also has no surname at all, in the impetuous international competition, they choose a road of no return, and it is also the only way to realize the dream of the nation to dominate the world.
Equally incomprehensible is China.
Throughout history, China's best spirit is often associated with the idea of loyalty.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the constitution of the constitution was so passionate in the provinces, and the thoughts surging in the depths of the soul were all loyal to the country in the Confucian spirit, and the republic completely tore up the source of this Chinese-style ** to a large extent.
Whether it is the Republic of China or the Republic, in the end, the death of Confucianism was completely announced.
In today's imperial era, the most important idea that supports those parliamentarians, officials, and military officers is the Confucian spirit of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country, and no matter how the national system changes, China still has at least one emperor who is sage and mighty.
The Song Emperor was the symbol of this empire, and his existence was the first guarantee of the country's transition to modernity, and as the last emperor in the substantive sense of the word, the supporters of Confucianism remained loyal to him.
If you are not loyal to the emperor and serve the country, what is the meaning of life?
It is this kind of power that supports the operation of the whole country at the social level, ensures the order of the country, and together with the law, restricts the greed of the political axe officials, and supervises the operation of the political axe, which is indeed the most beautiful period in Chinese history.
This is the Shenwu New Deal.
This is the revival of Shenwu.
It is destined to become the most important chapter in Chinese history, and has been admired and worshiped countless times by future generations.
You can't expect the pillars of the country and the nation to become the first person in an instant, and become the cornerstone of the legal society, but at least let them find an anchor pillar in the ideological tide of Confucianism, heavy law, benevolent government, modernity, Westernization, nationalism, restorationism, reformism, liberalism, socialism, Darwinism, etc., tie all the ships, stabilize all the torrents, and let the whole society have a general trend of overall development.
Emperor Song stood here, with the body and soul of an ordinary person to support the greatest cause in the history of the Chinese nation, his prestige and status are actually to a greater extent given by the people, he is just the sustenance of all kinds of thinkers, people are willing to exaggerate his existence, and wishful thinking that because of his existence, the country and the nation will be safe.
It is in such an environment that every word of his will have an incomparably heavy weight, encouraging and trending people to yearn for it and work hard for it, he said that China needs modern industrialists, so the people will enthusiastically want to become industrialists; He said that Chinese culture needs to be improved, inherited and restored, so the people will enthusiastically improve, inherit and restore traditional culture. He said that China needs the best soldiers, and its citizens will enthusiastically join the army and apply for military academies and .......
It is precisely for this reason that Emperor Song often chooses to be silent.
He has a passion that rises like a flame, but he is unwilling to make mistakes, because if he makes a mistake, it will cause irreparable damage to the country and the nation.
After inspecting Shanghai, although he felt a lot of economic problems, Song Biao did not say a word, but only conveyed to the cabinet in a low-key manner what he thought was more appropriate, and asked the cabinet to find a way to shrink credit and squeeze the real estate and stock market bubbles in Shanghai and other big cities.
After that, he traveled to the Philippines aboard the Navy battleship Aurora under the protection of one Qingzhou-class battleship, two Fushun-class heavy cruisers, two Xilingol-class light cruisers, and four destroyers.
In the Philippines, he will be in the Philippines with U.S. Secretary of State John Conns. According to the prior consultations, China and the Philippines will determine that the Luzon Strait will be the demarcation line, and the Batan Islands north of the strait will be under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Province of the Empire, and along the territorial sea line demarcated by the Empire, the South China Sea, which may be disputed in the future, will be included in the jurisdiction of the Empire.
At this time, there is nothing wrong with such a demarcation, nor does it have much practical significance, but it will be a formal political agreement between the United States and the Philippines with China, and there will be no more contention in the future.
At least for China, this is an uncontroversial issue.
On the way to the Philippines, he will pass by the Huangshan Horse Reef, officially renamed the island Taiping Island, meaning the southern Xinjiang peace, in the past ten years, who said that there is no naval competition, during the First World War, the empire took the opportunity to reach an agreement with Britain and France, so that Britain and France recognized all the islands in the South China Sea belong to China.
Since then, the Imperial Navy has been fighting with the Navy, but the Navy, which felt that it was of little significance, chose to back down, and immediately invested money in the expansion of the islands and reefs after the Empire fully controlled the islands and reefs in the South China Sea, and retained the coast guard camp.
After passing through Taiping Island and visiting the Philippines, Song Biao will also visit Brunei, then Cambodia, and finally Laos, and then return to Guangxi after the trip, take the train back to China to inspect the empire's first Yangtze River railway bridge in Wuhan, and then go directly to Lushan for vacation.
This was all his itinerary for the first half of 1928.
Thanks to the ease of transportation and the constitutional monarchy, the Song Emperor must have stayed in Kyoto the least, spending about half of his time in the country.
In early April, Song Biao officially went to the Philippines by boat, and on April 5, the navy was stationed near Taiping Island, and due to the restrictions of port conditions, Song Biao and Empress Shu could only take a destroyer to Taiping Island, and transported the stone tablet of "Southern Xinjiang Taiping" inscribed by Song Biao himself.
After officially occupying the island in 1921, the Imperial Navy expelled the merchants who operated guano phosphate mines here, transferred the island to the jurisdiction of the South China Naval Reclamation Bureau, and invested in the construction of infrastructure here year by year, sparing no capital to reclaim land from the sea, building cement dikes around the periphery, importing sand and soil from the Philippines, gradually expanding the area from 0.49 square kilometers to 1.2 square kilometers, building airports, ports, underground reservoirs and other facilities, and opening up wells, and the South China Sea Reclamation Bureau settled fishermen here.
The Bureau of Reclamation has a military patrol detachment with 8 aircraft, 4 seaplanes, 2 transport aircraft, 2 large patrol boats and a freighter, and due to the limited availability of fresh water, the underground reservoirs used to collect rainwater have been expanded as the population has increased.
The reason why the empire spared no expense was precisely because the imperial navy had a certain disadvantage for a long time, and only the superiority of the air force could make up for the shortcomings of competition with the South China Sea, and the efficiency of aircraft patrols was much higher than that of the navy.
Song Biao is not only the first time to inspect an island in the South China Sea, but also the first time to board such a small island, and Empress Shu Xuan is also like this, so she is particularly interested.
The conditions here are still very difficult, and if it weren't for the fact that the General Bureau of Military Reclamation itself has sufficient funds to deal with this matter, it would be really difficult for Song Biao to imagine how the more than 600 soldiers stationed here would live.
The main food sources of the local food were fish, coconuts, bananas and papayas, and the main source of supplies came from Palawan, where Li Qingyuan, a Chinese businessman, bought a large field and hired fellow villagers from southern Fujian to grow rice here, and the ships of the Military Reclamation Bureau docked at Puerto Princesa to transport supplies to Taiping Island and several other garrisoned islands in the South China Sea.
With Yongxing in the north and Taiping in the south, the empire defended the entire South China Sea in this way, and in this era, its greatest significance was to curb the southward entry of the Japanese navy into Southeast Asia.
Woody Island and Taiping Island themselves are also the largest garrison bases, with the expansion of the two islands year by year and the improvement of port conditions, a material center will be set up here, and the supply of the surrounding small islands and reefs will be maintained by these two areas, and the scale of the air force stationed here will gradually expand, covering the north and south.
The Navy's capital ships could not stay at sea for a long time, so Song Biao and Empress Shu could only stay here for a short period of two hours, and then returned to the warship and continued their visit to the Philippines.
Since Song Biao became emperor, with the gradual improvement of Sino-US relations, the Philippines has always been an important area for the southward migration of Fujian and Guangdong populations.
The empire's strong support for the central government's policy of "going to the South Seas" was also a last resort, and the population of the north could gradually move to the four northern provinces, Xinjiang Province, the Far East, the three eastern provinces, and Novosibirsk, while the south had a larger population, and there was no suitable area for new immigrants, and going to the South China could only be an important strategy to solve the demographic crisis.
The suzerainty of Laos before World War I, Papua after World War I, the purchase of Cambodia from France after the Sino-Soviet War, and the signing of the Free Investment Pact with Britain in the Treaty of Washington were all in fact the Empire's attempt to solve the pressure on the survival of the population in the south.
Under the impetus of the central policy of the empire, the population of Sichuan began to move into Yunnan, Guizhou, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, especially Laos, the central government set up an immigration bureau in Sichuan, and promoted the transfer of population through the establishment of reclamation.
The Laos Railway was too difficult to build, more difficult to build than the Yunnan-Guizhou Railway, but even so, the empire was pushing forward the railway project, doing its best to link the Central South Railway network with the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, so that more people from Sichuan could be transported south.
After these years of hard work, the number of Chinese in the Philippines has increased to nearly one million, and the number of Chinese in Laos has also increased to 400,000.
In the past two decades, the empire has exported more than 7 million people from Fujian, Guangdong, and Guichuan, which have been under the greatest pressure on the population, and these young and strong laborers have played a great role in promoting the economic development of the Nanyang countries, and the economic power of Chinese merchants in various places has also increased.
It was only in the process that the conflict between the Chinese and the local population intensified, and the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs chose a policy of supporting the self-defense of overseas Chinese, encouraging the Chinese to maintain self-defense forces in foreign countries.
For this issue, the Netherlands has basically no dispute, the Anglo-American dispute is still very fierce, especially because, in British-controlled Burma, the number of Chinese in northern Myanmar has surged, and conflicts between Chinese and Burmese have occurred from time to time, in view of the strength of China's army is too strong, in Yunnan, China has been maintaining heavy troops, Britain can only choose to favor and appease the Chinese armed forces in dealing with the Sino-Burmese conflict, and at the same time, it is also constantly through diplomatic efforts, hoping that China will stop supporting the Chinese armed self-defense, Because all the guns and ammunition of the Chinese armed come from domestic armed ammunition companies.
In the Philippines, the Chinese are mainly concentrated in Manila and the Lingarting Bay area, especially in the Lingarting Bay area, where Chinese investment is concentrated, and CITIC holds a large number of gold mines in the surrounding Baguio area, which is the main gathering area of the Chinese, and in the entire Lingarting Bay, the number of Chinese has surged from hundreds of thousands in the past to more than 600,000, accounting for half of the local population.
The United States also lacks a good response to this, and it is for this reason that Conns. Vanderbilt decided to hold talks with Song Biao here, and when demarcating the territory between China and the Philippines, he also conducted a more in-depth discussion on the issue of Chinese in the Philippines.
At this time, the relationship between the Philippines and China is already very complicated, a few years ago, because the local foreign newspapers reported that the Filipinos were slaughtered in China, which once caused a very serious anti-Chinese incident, out of the special relationship with China, Cones personally arrived in Manila, and the Chinese Consul General in the Philippines Dai Jinhua also actively promoted, and finally ended with the severe punishment of the Spanish businessman's newspaper, but in the process there were more than a dozen Chinese and Filipino incidents, most of which were provoked and attacked by the Filipinos first, The Chinese were forced to defend themselves by force.
If it is a Dutch colony, the empire can directly send a fleet to suppress the local area, but after all, this is an American colony, and the empire has no good way. In the same way, the United States cannot use force to suppress the Chinese armed forces, and the United States itself has a serious shortage of troops stationed in the Philippines, adding up to only more than 4,000 people, and the number of Chinese in the Philippines who have more than tens of thousands of firearms has already exceeded 10,000.
The final result of the 1924 anti-Chinese incident was very bad, which directly led to the establishment of the Philippine Chinese Armed Self-Defense Army, which had an extremely serious impact on Sino-Philippine relations, because the Chinese armed forces had the problem of smuggling firearms from Taiwan behind them, and the Filipino locals lacked arms, and they were killed very tragically all the way, which made the problem even more aggravated.
The impact of this is very serious, and it will have a certain degree of impact on Sino-US relations.
It is precisely for this reason that Song Biao's visit to the Philippines was also secret, and he only arrived at Lingatin Port in the name of a fleet visit. Vanderbilt met privately.
Song Biao did not even make it to the Philippines, and the talks were scheduled to take place at the port of the Aurora.
Connes. Vanderbilt was still in Manila for a visit, and would arrive tomorrow by train to Lingartin, and when the fleet arrived at Lingartin Bay, several representatives of Chinese businessmen who had been waiting here for a long time boarded the ship to meet the emperor and empress.
Although there has always been a crisis, it is an indisputable fact that Chinese businessmen occupy an absolute position in the Philippine business field, and the most prosperous Manila Bay and Lingartin Bay in the Philippines are under the control of the Chinese, and the number of Chinese in the colonial political axe of the Philippines is even higher than that of the Americans and Filipinos.
At this time, Li Qingquan was the leader of Chinese businessmen in the Philippines and the chief financial officer of the colonial political axe, and the Philippine Bank controlled by him was the largest local bank in the Philippines, and the family-run Meichen Industrial Company was the largest timber company in the Philippines.
This kind of strength gave Li Qingquan a very high social status in the Philippines, and most of his younger brothers and clan relatives also held a lot of property in the Philippines, so that the American colonial political axe was quite jealous of this and ceded the post of finance minister to him.
Li Qingquan and the others entered the cabin, and after seeing Song Biao and Empress Shu, they were given seats and sat down in the cabin.
Because the Philippine Chinese Chamber of Commerce has long known that the Chinese royal couple are going to the Kingdom of Brunei and the Kingdom of Cambodia for a royal visit, and will stop in the Philippines on the way, in the face of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, everyone wants to come to meet the emperor, under the arrangement of Li Qingquan, there are as many as 14 Chinese businessmen who came to meet Emperor Song and Empress Shu, such as Li Qingquan, Yang Qitai, Wang Quansheng, Zeng Tingquan, Shi Guojing, Huang Tenglun, Yang Rongbiao, Yang Jingtong and other celebrities in the Philippine Chinese business community are present.
The space in the cabin of the warship is relatively small, and with the guards of the inner court and the agents of the secret service, dozens of people crowd the room.
Song Biao is also a rare person to see the representatives of these Filipino Chinese businessmen, and he is very happy, because the development of Chinese businessmen in the Philippines is still very good, and after everyone sat down, Song Biao and Li Qingquan asked: "The Philippines has been stable in recent years, right?" ”
Li Qingquan replied: "After the 14th year of the Chinese exclusion incident in Shenwu, although there were still some occasional minor conflicts, the overall situation was stable, and our chamber of commerce also tried its best to donate money and materials to take care of those Filipinos who were injured accidentally. It's just that with the increasing number of Chinese in the Philippines, it is inevitable that there will be more contradictions. ”
Song Biao didn't have a good response to this, so he could only reply: "You must try your best to be prepared for emergencies, not only to live in peace, but also to have the ability to defend yourself." ”
Li Qingquan said: "In the past two years, I have discussed with others that I also plan to gradually withdraw from Manila and purchase land in the Quezon Harbor area to build a new city, which can also effectively protect the Chinese." However, there are tens of thousands of Chinese households in Manila, and there are new ones every year, so it is not easy to move out. In recent years, our Chinese businessmen's control over the Philippine economy has indeed become more serious, which is a good thing, but in fact it is also a bad thing, but this is always a general trend. It can only be said that the US colonial political axe is more just than the previous Spanish period, does not favor both sides, and can entrust most of the Chinese with important tasks, in the final analysis, the relationship between China and the United States is good, the imperial strength is also strong, and the Americans do not dare to disadvantage us. ”
Song Biao nodded slightly, and said: "So, don't easily support the Philippine reading power, once the Philippine reading power is successful, the final election is always the Filipino-dominated political axe, which may not be beneficial to us." Of course, if it is really not a big deal, if there is no American colonial rule, we can still deter the Philippines, this is no problem, the key is that your business may not be good, or to value peace and restrain each other. ”
Li Qingquan replied: "What the emperor said is true. ”
In recent years, China has gradually gained the absolute upper hand in the economic and trade wars between China and China, especially in Southeast Asia, because on the one hand, China's industrial development has been faster, and on the other hand, it is also due to the efforts of Chinese businessmen.
From the perspective of the interests of the whole country, Song Biao is still very grateful to these Chinese businessmen, and it is an indisputable fact that they hold dual nationality and are Chinese citizens even if they live overseas.
On the warship, unlike in the palace, everything can be prepared very properly, the inner court service office only sent the tea at this time, Song Biao also took a cup of Tieguanyin, and said with a smile: "You all seem to be from Fujian, let's drink your Fujian oolong tea this time, the inner court has always been based on black tea, and the work is not in place, you have to take care of it!" ”
What he said was a joke, and the Chinese businessmen all laughed heartily after hearing it, and Li Qingquan said: "The emperor is serious." ”
Empress Shu has been accompanying her, and she sighed at this time: "Fujian's tea is good and the water is good, I remember going to Fuzhou a few years ago, how do I think it is a treasure of feng shui, that is, there are many mountains and few places, and the people's life is not easy." ”
You are a little emotional when you hear this.
Unlike Li Qingquan, Wang Quansheng was once a leading member of the Fujian Liberation Party, and now he is also a member of the provincial council of Fujian Province, and his business is mainly in Fujian.
He replied to you and the empress: "Since the emperor ascended the throne, the situation has been much better, first the revival of tea in Fujian, then the construction of power plants for water conservancy, then the construction of reservoirs and railways, the promotion of fruit economy and forestry and animal husbandry industry in various places, coupled with the development of the revival of Fujian's coal and iron ore and porcelain industry, Fujian is now a hundred times better than the previous dynasty. ”
Hearing this, other Fujian businessmen also claimed to be.
Song Biao thought for a moment and replied: "It's all the credit of the Central Cabinet, but it's still not good enough, and we still need to continue to work hard, and you should also help a lot." There are many mountains in Fujian, there are hills and mountains everywhere, and there are very few places where there are really paddy fields, so it has its special surname in terms of economy. The central cabinet has vigorously implemented the "Land Restriction Act", which has benefited all localities, and the people have become richer, but Fujian has benefited relatively little, because the mountains and forests are not within the scope of the "Land Restriction Act". The reason for this is also very simple, the reclamation of mountain forests, whether it is to operate tea gardens or plant fruit forests, actually requires a relatively large scale of capital investment, and ordinary farmers cannot afford it. Therefore, although Fujian's economy has also developed rapidly in recent years, the gap between the rich and the poor has been widening, unlike other provinces, which have shrunk. The gap between the rich and the poor is large, and the poor have to find ways to go outside and seek opportunities, and there is more land available for reclamation in the Philippines, and there are more Fujian people who immigrate and work in the Philippines every year. In the past ten years, the central government's national policy is generally similar to the Qin Dynasty's long-distance and close attack, with the United States and France, and neighboring countries are in an offensive posture, and the Philippines is in between. Emphasizing the law and loving the people is a big truth, and the implementation is to give the people real benefits, including our implementation of the dual nationality system, which is also conducive to your living and working in the Philippines, as far as business is concerned, your domestic enterprises are domestic enterprises in the national economy, and enterprises in the Philippines are also local enterprises in the Philippines. In terms of nationality, you are also both Filipino and Chinese citizens, which gives you a dual surname. In the long run, sooner or later, the Filipinos will have to become autonomous, and China and the Philippines will also formally establish diplomatic relations, and the two sides will benefit each other, communicate with each other, and support each other, and in this process, the Filipino Chinese businessmen should play the role of a bridge. I also know that the Chinese self-defense forces in the Philippines are generally controlled by you, so you need to grasp this scale, and you still have to value harmony in everything, and make money with harmony. ”
Li Qingquan and the others nodded silently.
Song Biao said a lot of things in one breath, which is all his feelings, but also his special feelings for these Chinese businessmen, in his opinion, unlike the capitalists on the Hurun rich list that he once knew, the Chinese businessmen in this era are really very cute and respectable, worthy of political axes to protect and support.
Among the more than a dozen Filipino Chinese businessmen from Fujian, who has not set up education, built bridges, and built roads in Fujian?
The Chinese merchants in Nanyang were a key part of the Nanyang policy, they bought a large amount of wasteland in Nanyang for reclamation, and recruited villagers from their hometowns, which not only relieved the population pressure of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, but also made a great contribution to the export of industrial products and the import of raw materials in China.
There is a big difference between the era of the Chinese Empire and the Republic, because there is a lot of inheritance of traditional culture, especially in architecture and furniture, the domestic demand for mahogany, red sandalwood, ebony, wenge, nanmu is very large, and the country itself lacks these woods, a large part of which is imported from Nanyang, and Li Qingquan is the largest supplier of mahogany and ebony in China.
When the royal family built the central palace and summer palace, they actually used a lot of Philippine wood, especially the summer palace that increased in size because of the Lushan Conference.
It should be said that Li Qingquan must have made a lot of money over the years, but he is also the most important sponsor of Quanzhou University, and also established Jinjiang Normal School and Jinjiang Jinjing High School, the economic level of Fujian Province is still much weaker than that of Northeast China, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and other places, and education is the last to come, especially private education is very common, which is basically proud of Nanyang Chinese businessmen, Jimei University, Quanzhou University, and Xiamen University are all independently established by Chinese businessmen, and it should be said that they are all very good.
Therefore, it is natural that Song Biao has a preference for Chinese businessmen in this era.
After talking about some ideas, Song Biao still drank tea, roughly sorted out his thoughts, and continued to ask Li Qingquan and others: "Do you know how the prototype of the word 'friend' came about?" ”
This is a bit strange, all the Chinese businessmen present looked at each other, only Li Qingquan replied: "Back to the emperor, the people read through the emperor's editorial, I remember that there was an editorial that said that the source of 'peng' is two strings of shells, in ancient times, shells were used as currency, and two strings of shells represented trade, so the prototype of the word 'peng' originated from trade, and there is a saying that there are friends when they trade with each other." ”
As soon as they heard this, the Chinese businessmen present suddenly realized, and vaguely knew the original meaning of what Emperor Song was going to say.
Song Biao laughed and explained to Li Qingquan and others: "That editorial is basically the handwriting of Zhang Binglin, a master of Chinese studies, I just put forward an idea and let him play it." My meaning is very simple, the ancient sage pipe is a big businessman, the Chinese nation's business roots are far deeper than other countries, the history should be long in the world, we have an old saying that is good, there are friends from afar, happy, the reason is very simple, others come with two flat banknotes to buy things, of course very happy. Therefore, China was born to be a country founded on commerce and trade, and today's Chinese businessmen are also Confucian businessmen and celebrities. With the development of the country, we have also emphasized more and more this new idea of commercial and trade nationhood. Last year, I talked to Premier Ouyang Geng about this matter, and one of our current considerations is to set up professional business schools in some major universities across the country, and business colleges should continue to promote and support, including the Central Imperial University. I would like to invite you to participate in the teaching and courses of the Central Business School, where the students will exchange courses together, study the new knowledge of international marketing experience and business management, and improve their business and management capabilities together. This matter is still very important, especially in our Central Business School, we also advocate the spirit of Confucian businessmen and Confucian teaching, and promote the spirit of honesty, fraternity, and benevolence, and the spirit of serving the country and the world. This is what sets us apart from foreign businessmen, and it is also the basis of our idea of building a country based on business. ”
Li Qingquan and the others were all praised and overjoyed when they heard this.
Song Biao said: "What I said, some of them are relatively empty and boring, but some of them are really beneficial to everyone. After this year's Lushan meeting, I will personally go to the Central Imperial University to preside over the opening ceremony, the first phase, we are probably only ready to recruit about 50 people, Nanyang Chinese businessmen can probably account for 1/3, this is already a special preferential treatment, you Philippine Chinese businessmen should hurry up and sign up. Studying is a good thing, spending a few months a year to study will not delay you in making money, and you can also meet more friends and open up the network of Chinese businessmen, which is conducive to everyone doing big business and big business. ”
This time, it was the turn of the Chinese businessmen present to laugh, because what Song Biao said was a very realistic thing, and on this occasion, all the Chinese businessmen who could go were from all over the country, making friends with each other, and it was also very conducive to everyone opening up economic and trade with each other.
In the afternoon of this day, Song Biao talked with the Chinese businessmen present for a long time, and suggested that everyone should have the big thinking of building a century-old enterprise, be precise in the camp matters, be prepared for danger in times of peace, have a long-term brand spirit and appropriate marketing ideas, and also have a sense of quality and integrity, carry forward the spirit of Confucianism and businessmen of Chinese businessmen, properly support local charity, get along with the local community, and cooperate with each other, especially in the field of financial industry, there must be the support of big banks.
Although Li Qingquan and others had a mansion in Lingatin Port and invited Song Biao to live, Song Biao did not agree.
Song Biao was still waiting and seeing at this time, because the relationship between China and the Philippines was not good, and it was good to say that it was good, but the impact of the anti-Chinese incident and the armed struggle incident in the past few years was still very bad, and Song Biao, as the emperor of the Chinese Empire, either did not go ashore, and if he wanted to go ashore, he had to visit the Philippines in an official capacity.
Connes. As the US Secretary of State, the reason why Vanderbilt personally came to the Philippines to negotiate with Song Biao on the ownership of the islands in the south was also because he considered that if Emperor Song decided to go ashore for a visit, there would not be an official of the appropriate level on the US colonial side of the Philippines who could receive him.
(To be continued)
