On March 10, 1893, the Huameng held a grand founding ceremony in Seris City (formerly Manila) in Luzon, which had been renamed and officially established the Central Political Axe of the Republic of China.

Externally, the Republic of China will call itself the Republic of Seres, temporarily distinguished from the Qing state in the north, known as the [thenationofseres].

Seris, the land of silk, has been recorded since the time of the ancient Greek city-states. In ancient Latin, Seris, the god of abundance, the giver of civilization, and one of the gods of the West. In ancient Rome, the Roman aristocracy began to use this term to describe silk from the Far East, and gradually extended to the eastern countries and peoples that produced silk. At this stage, Chen Zeyu does not want to arouse the vigilance of the Qing side.

Accompanied by a beautiful melody, a bright flag fluttered high in the sky over the newly completed Victory Square.

In the choice of the national flag of the Republic of Seris, Chen Zeyu still copied the five-star red flag of the previous time and space [***] and the country.

It's just that the meaning has been slightly changed, the big star represents the nation-state and the yellow bloodline, and the small star represents the people, in order to show unity and forge ahead. Although he affirmed the People's Party in his heart, Chen Zeyu always felt that the party should not be put above the state and the nation.

Seris's national anthem is this song that is being played, the extremely touching "Five-Star Red Flag Flying in the Sky" in his previous life, as one of the few songs that Chen Zeyu can sing from the heart without memorization, the whole melody is beautiful and high-spirited, and it can stimulate the patriotic enthusiasm of all Chinese people, Chen Zeyu has no reason not to choose it. Of course, the sensitive places in the lyrics were also slightly changed, and then Chen Zeyu directly set the national anthem.

In the future, their citizens will call themselves Seris to the outside world, and the foreign language will also refer to Seres, so as to distinguish them from the corrupt regime of the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, with the establishment of the Republic of Seris, the song "Five-Star Red Flag Flying in the Wind" also spread all over the world in a short period of time.

When the overseas Chinese who emigrated overseas in the early years heard this song, they immediately burst into irrepressible tears.

When they learned that their people had re-established a nation overseas, many people felt their blood boiling, and at the same time, a wave of immigration frenzy was set off around the world.

The Chinese regime alone is enough to make the Chinese who have been suppressed by the colonial authorities in various countries, especially in Nanyang, yearn for it, not to mention that the head of state is a young man of his own nation.

Looking at the young and resolute face in the newspaper, the overseas people felt a kind of heartfelt cordiality.

Among them, many of the Chinese businessmen in the South Seas who originally stayed in the Dutch and Indian Islands were the most turbulent.

These Nanyang Chinese businessmen, one by one, almost brought all their net worth that could be moved to the safe haven of the Republic of Seris at once.

With the passage of time, more and more overseas Chinese families have immigrated to the country.

And most of them will go to Sizhe or Seris City first, where there are various banks in Seris that were established in advance (mainly the Seris Development Bank issued by Chen's capital).

In the early years, Chen's Avalanche group had seized a great deal of wealth through commercial means, and Chen Zeyu had left behind a modest reserve of foreign exchange and pounds, and the rest was converted into gold. The amount of gold, which is still preserved in the vaults of Avalanche, is huge enough to support the gold standard monetary system of the entire Serris Republic. As more and more Chinese families immigrated in, the gold reserves in Chen Zeyu's vault also increased.

Chinese families who came to settle here usually deposited their money (mainly pounds sterling and gold) into their own banks.

Most of these Nanyang Chinese businessmen were engaged in grain, timber, spices and other businesses overseas. After coming to Seris, some people continued to do these ancestral businesses, while others began to look for other investment opportunities in the vibrant Republic of Seris.

At this time, Chen Zeyu's name, the avalanche technology introduction and industrial application company with offices throughout the Republic of Seris, came into their sight.

The company on the introduction of avalanche technology and industrial applications, which is usually quite active, held open business negotiation meetings in several cities where Chinese businessmen gather.

Chen Zeyu did this in order to make better use of the huge funds of the immigrant Chinese and play a better role in the economic construction of Seris. On the other hand, he also does not want the new Chinese businessmen to start projects casually and unplanned, and Chen Zeyu does not want the economy in the Republic of Seris to fall into a cycle of vicious competition.

The effect is remarkable, and Chen Zeyu's avalanche technology introduction and industrial application company is simply a treasure trove to be mined for all Chinese businessmen.

In the past, the industrial and commercial projects developed by Chen Zeyu and his affiliated business partner companies were basically high-tech and even epoch-making commercial projects that had a disconnect with the current level of science and technology in various countries. Some commercial projects that are not urgently needed for the time being, and whose profits do not reach the "ideal level" in Chen Zeyu's eyes, have been shelved by him.

But who Chen Zeyu is, he doesn't value it, it doesn't mean that others don't value it either.

It can be said that to this day, the nest head in Chen Zeyu's eyes has become a potato in the eyes of others. With considerable technological and technological advantages, these remaining commercial projects have become real treasures in the eyes of other Chinese businessmen.

In this way, after a period of auction-style project rush purchases, the new Chinese businessmen gradually integrated into the national business system of Seris.

Although it is not a business field related to the survival of the people, let alone Avalanche and its affiliated business partners, it can be regarded as injecting a rare vitality into the economic operation of Seris.

Most of the newly acquired Chinese merchant families are engaged in the commercial development of light industry, textiles, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural by-products.

Among them, Chen Zeyu even found many celebrities in history. Among them, famous people such as Sun Wen, Wang Qingfu, Song Yaoru and others have now come to the territory of the Republic of Seris to settle down.
