Chapter 271 Comes to Shanghai Again
Chapter 271
Although he was anxious and got up early in the morning, Yijiyuan and Shizhong still pretended to be calm and waited until eight o'clock in the morning before going out, and Yang Yongtai also arrived at the door at this time. The appointed time was eight o'clock, and Yang Yongtai was very punctual.
"Fu Shuai has explained that Sino-Japanese friendship is conducive to peace and stability in East Asia, and he specially instructed Pukou Railway Station to hang a train of floats to show solemnity!" Yang Yongtai said something when he saw the two, and he had to pretend to be moved and bow in the direction of the official residence: "Thank you, Your Excellency, Chairman!" β
Speaking of which, this treatment is indeed different from when I came, when I came, no one received me, and I found a car to enter the city. There will be a car sent to the dock, and when I get off, I see the busy scene of the Shimonoseki pier, and Ijiin is a little depressed. Don't look at the big ships on this wharf, but this is the Yangtze River, dozens of tons and hundreds of tons of ships are clogged up at the wharf. It can be seen that Nanjing's industry and commerce have flourished in the past two years.
Nanjing is an important town along the river, opposite Pukou is the www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion on Jinpu Road, although it is difficult to compete with Wuhu as the core of the emerging power in heavy industry, but the superior geographical location, determines the surrounding industry and commerce, must be closer to Nanjing. When the railway connecting Bengbu and Wuhan is built, this situation may change, and it is difficult to change it at present. Coal from the north traveled south along the Jinpu Road, loaded on ships at Pukou, and transported to various places along the river. The manufacturing industry in the south also needs Jinpu Road to send products to the north.
With the wisdom of the Chinese, as long as they are given a good environment, there is no need to supervise at all, and some smart people are making waves. Judging from the number jΓΉ, there is only one Nanjing. Since the past 14 years, there have been more than 5,000 large and small industrial and commercial enterprises newly registered with the government, of which as many as 2,000 have registered capital of more than 100,000 yuan.
The huge profits of industry and commerce are constantly combining the capital scattered in the private sector in various ways and investing it in industry and commerce. In order to stimulate industry and commerce, the government of the Republic of China even did not hesitate to give a clear policy promotion in political and social status. A very simple example is the new provincial councillor. The registered capital of the industrial and commercial industry under his personal name shall not be less than 50,000 yuan, or he shall be a professor or above in a local university. That is, no matter what you're. Before you want to become a councillor, you must have made a career in business or have some achievements in the field of education.
Shi Zhong has in-depth research on various policies in China and is well aware of the temptation of power to the Chinese. So when he saw the busyness of Nanjing Wharf, he was already numb. China is too big, the population is too big, and the people don't know how much wealth is hidden. Now this wealth is only a part of the stimulus, which has already made Nanjing's economic development rapid. Although this is driven by Fang Jianxiong's theory of taking the Yangtze River basin as the core of development, the main thing is that this is a large country with deep accumulation in all aspects, far from being comparable to a country with a narrow land area like Japan.
Without decades of civil strife in parallel history, the Republic of China in this time and space is moving in a different direction.
Sudden protrusions. A tricycle drove by. The black smoke that came out choked people, and Yijiyuan coughed twice, and secretly cursed Baga. All kinds of simple means of transport powered by diesel engines, running on land and running in inland rivers. Small diesel engines bloomed with vigorous vitality in the Republic of China. As a result, diesel imports have increased dramatically, and if this trend continues, within 10 years, the demand for diesel in the Republic of China will reach an astonishing figure.
Shanghai Railway Station. The welcoming crowd was patiently waiting for Fang Dashuai's special train. As the first commercial port in the Republic of China, Shanghai has developed more rapidly since the Republican Party came to power. In fact, such a window geographical location, as long as there are sufficient policies, can attract a large amount of funds.
Of course, the development of Shanghai's industry and commerce is different from the development direction of the major industrial towns along the Yangtze River, and Shanghai's industry is dominated by the textile industry and machinery manufacturing industry. The only heavy industry that Shanghai can take advantage of is the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group. Recently, there was news from Beijing that the Cabinet was planning to separate Shanghai from Jiangsu Province and make it a city directly under the Cabinet. This news is really exciting for the Shanghai locality. This means that in the future, Shanghai's development will be vigorously supported by the cabinet. And in the political arena, the Shanghai parliamentarians can also sit on an equal footing with the provincial councilors, or even taller, so they don't have to squeeze their heads into the provincial council in Nanjing, as they do now.
Due to the particularity of Shanghai, it was Shanghai Road in the former Qing Dynasty, and Shanghai since the Republic of China is still relatively special. The Shanghai Council was controlled by wealthy businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the business tycoons headed by Sheng Xuanhuai and Yu Qiaqing all joined the Republican Party, and the elected mayor was Li Xie and the commander of the Shanghai garrison. In desperation, Li Xiehe had no choice but to step down as commander of the Shanghai Garrison District and turn into politics.
You say that it doesn't matter if you unload the mill and kill the donkey, or cross the river and tear down the bridge, Li Xiehe has never been a suitable candidate for the garrison commander in Fang Jianxiong's mind. The new commander of the Wusong garrison is a close confidant of Wang Jingluo, who is a first-term student of the teaching team trained by Fang Dashuai. Carrying the rank of major general, he stood in front of the crowd with a straight waist. Well, Wang Jingluo resolutely resisted the arranged marriage at home, and now he is still single, and the eyes of countless celebrities in Shanghai are staring at him, just waiting for this buddy to fall into a well-woven net of tenderness.
The two stood side by side, followed by bigwigs from all walks of life in Shanghai. Yu Qiaqing, Speaker of the Shanghai Assembly, and Sheng Xuanhuai, Vice Speaker. In fact, if you want to count the qualifications, Sheng Xuanhuai is naturally ranked high, but Sheng Xuanhuai was once disliked by the commander, so he naturally didn't dare to come forward to fight for the speaker. You must know that Yu Qiaqing is now the number one tycoon in the shipping industry and the managing director of Eurasia Group. Although Sheng Xuanhuai is also one of the directors of the Eurasia Group, it is also a position that he has paid a lot to get. That is, relying on Sun Baoqi's in-laws to reach out to catch him, otherwise what could he do? When he handed over Han Yeping, Sheng Xuanhuai thought that he had lost all his money, and he never thought that Gu Heng would be kind and give him three percent of Han Yeping's shares. Sheng Xuanhuai, in accordance with Sun Baoqi's instructions, resolutely did not want any shares of Han Yeping. At that time, Sheng Xuanhuai's other industries had been withdrawn one after another, and Sun Baoqi repeatedly warned that Han Yeping was related to the national defense industry and must be abandoned. I don't know how to do it, and in the end, Gu Heng came up with a plan, Sheng Xuanhuai used Han Yeping to invest in Eurasia Group for a price of three million silver dollars. 2.5% of the shares of Eurasia Group.
With this identity, Sheng Xuanhuai's low social position was recognized again, and of course he wanted to enter politics. Today's Sheng Xuanhuai can be regarded as having a second spring, this rich man who started from the government does not know that his status in Fang Jianxiong's mind is actually very low. The reason for this is not because he is corrupt or anything, but because during the Gengzi years, when Li Hongzhang went north to negotiate peace, he went to Xuanhuai to call Sheng and invite him to help. But at this juncture, Sheng Xuanhuai listened to his father's advice and did not follow Li Hongzhang to Beijing. After the signing of the Xinchou Treaty, Li Hongzhang vomited blood and died. Fang Jianxiong also knew about this by accident, and he had a bad impression of Sheng Xuanhuai, a guy who was cultivated by Li Hongzhang! even regretted letting Sheng Xuanhuai go for a while, but in the end, it was for Sun Baoqi's sake, so he still forgot it.
The opening armored train slowly entered the station, and when the subsequent special train came to a standstill, the military band began to play the "Wehrmacht March".
The doors opened, and the guards who came down first were divided into two sides of the train doors. Then a good-looking female officer came down, stood at the door and looked around, and said loudly: "Greetings to the commander!" β
"Stand upright!" The guards at the station collectively stood up and raised their hands and crossed their chests under a command.
In front of everyone's eyes, after a thousand calls, Fang Dashuai finally appeared in front of everyone. Smiling, the welcoming crowd stirred slightly and slowly moved forward. Fang Dashuai saw everyone one by one, and those who nodded slightly smiled and shook hands. This scene was widely publicized by the poster circles, claiming: Everywhere the commander is supported, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, warming people's hearts. In those days, tens of thousands of tigers arrived in Shanghai to save the people from fire and water, but they couldn't bear to enter the city to disturb the people and stayed in the wilderness outside the city.
The welcome ceremony at the station is just an appetizer, and Li Xiehe is now the mayor, so in order to welcome Fu Shuai, it can be regarded as hollowing out. Fang Jianxiong's car left the train station, and along the way there was a welcoming crowd, mainly students. The students were holding banners and flowers, and they were as excited as chickens. The young girls really jumped and jumped, waving the flowers in their hands vigorously, expressing their admiration for this spiritual leader who led the Chinese nation to the road of rejuvenation.
From the station to the official residence, it was only ten miles, but it took an hour to walk. This can be regarded as offending Shangguan Xue, sitting in the front row with a gloomy face, and when he looked at Li Xiehe several times, his eyes were like knives. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, otherwise Shangguan Xue would have been able to blow up Li Xiehe and Wang Jingluo's heads with one shot.
In the last car of the convoy, there were two Jews. One is Sassoon and the other is Fisher.
The Sassoon family has a long history of business in China, among which they are famous for opium. But now this Sassoon has to change to the real estate industry. In order to eradicate the scourge of smoke, countless roadblocks were set up around the concession to investigate opium. The Anti-Smoking Committee of the Republic of China was established in Shanghai, and the secretary general in charge of the operation was Fang Jianmei, who was the brother of Fu Shuai. For the sake of the Fang family's great cause, on the issue of banning smoking, Fang Jianmei has no feelings to talk about. In the past 14 years, opium dealers have been shot thousands of people, and Fang Jianmei can be said to have his hands stained with the blood of opium dealers. In such a social context, Sassoon has no choice but to devote most of his energy to the real estate industry.
