Chapter 63: Unexpected Persistence

The Japanese want to have actual control of Sakhalin Island, and if necessary, they can cut off China's oil, which can be described as sinister. Fang Jianxiong can completely influence Gu Weijun's political life, under normal circumstances, Gu Weijun only needs to copy it after Fang Jianxiong's approximate decision is very clear.

However, Gu Weijun did not give up his proposition, and insisted on his opinion without the slightest hesitation: "Fu Shuai, the day is a wolf that can't be fed!" The best way to deal with this nation is to hit him until he is afraid that he will hide from China when he sees it. ”

Fang Jianxiong was not disgusted by Gu Weijun's persistence, but instead of appreciating it. For a long time, Gu Weijun did not have a very good impression of Fang Jianxiong, and he was too much around Sun Baoqi's baton. Today's insistence on this matter made Fang Jianxiong's feelings about Gu Weijun change a little. It is really rare for a person to be able to persist in the face of major rights and wrongs, and to face a person who can decide the future and destiny of his government.

In fact, Gu Weijun also regretted it a little after speaking, although Fang Jianxiong clearly did not interfere in politics, but the overall situation of the Republic of China government has always been in his hands. This is also the reason why Gu Weijun has always held some views on Fang Jianxiong, in Gu Weijun's heart, the best political system of the Republic of China should be to learn from the United States. Fang Jianxiong's viewpoint, on the other hand, holds that a country with backward education and a huge gap between the rich and the poor is not suitable for political party election politics. Therefore, in the face of the general trend, Fang Jianxiong chose a political party and a political shelf.

"Shaochuan analyzes the inferior roots of the Japanese nation, and I think that to deal with Japan, if you don't fight, once you do it, you can't give Japan a chance to turn over. Otherwise, the day will hide in the shadows like a vicious wolf, ready to bite China fiercely. Historically, Japan succeeded in the Ryukyus. At one time, he coveted Taiwan. The Manchu government instructed the Japanese to have a chance to breathe, and although Li Hongzhang saw the quality of the day, he could not do anything about it. In the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan finally took a hard bite on the body of the Qing Dynasty. We must bear in mind these historical lessons. I'm not against being tough, but there must be a suitable opportunity to kill this wolf once and for all. I'd rather give up if I don't have a good chance. Fang Jianxiong patiently explained, just now, Fang Jianxiong saw some valuable things from Gu Weijun's persistence. For Gu Weijun's intention to fight for the position of prime minister in the future, he has become less resistant. At least I think it's a positive thing, not a blind drill camp. That's a little change. If Gu Weijun knew about it, he would definitely be ashamed. In his opinion, the higher Fang Jianxiong's prestige, the greater the harm to the country.

Anyway, Gu Weijun didn't insist anymore, and if he insisted on opposing opinions, it would be nonsense. After setting the tone. Gu Weijun hurriedly got up and said goodbye, he was going back to Beijing. I still have to attend the German business group symposium, and now I don't have that time.

Because of Sino-German relations before World War I and the Sino-German war in World War I, Germans' dissatisfaction with China is still widespread. Don't look at the fact that someone is humanitarian aid and calls for good treatment of Germany, none of the capitalists are fuel-efficient lamps. Ordinary people may be grateful to the Chinese government. These elites see through the Chinese government's intentions.

Since it is a cooperation, then each one takes what he needs, and one qiē is built on the basis of interests. No one owes anyone. The vast majority of Germans have this mentality, cooperating if there is a benefit, and pulling down if there is no benefit. Mercedes, Rheinmetall, Volken Shipyard, the three big companies, that is already able to see the benefits. An order from the squadron will allow them to earn enough money, so why not do it? Like Zeiss doesn't bird you. If you are willing to accept it, you will accept it, and if you are not willing to flash people, anyway, Zeiss is the best optical company in the world today, and you don't have to worry about having no buyers. Coming to China to set up factories, under the guise of a joint venture, could exempt German cars from the export taxes imposed on German cars by the Treaty of Versailles.

All in all, no matter how enthusiastic the Chinese side is, the Germans always look at their partners with the eyes of a traitor. Not to mention, this time in China, many companies were forced.

In the lobby of the Eurasia Hotel, Victor and Biel are whispering, and the two cousins seem to have a lot to talk about. In fact, Biel organized German companies to come to China for the sake of benefit. On the one hand, the technology of German companies can continue in China without a fault. On the one hand, it can also make money from China, and finally it can also get material assistance from China. Why don't you do something that kills three birds with one stone? In the long run, there is another gain, that is, in the future, Germany is very likely to receive China's support in international politics, after all, it is a partner. Now Germany is grandmother does not love uncle and uncle, and China can reach out and naturally grasp it.

Qualitatively, it's all for their own benefit!

Representatives of German businessmen who were in China before the war came in large numbers, and those who had some status in the base came. These people were very interesting at the symposium, and they gathered some of their new friends to inquire about the situation of German businessmen in China. In fact, these Germans knew a lot before they were on the road, and now they are asking for some details. For example, how to deal with Chinese government officials, how to get orders from the Chinese government, and so on.

There are many successful German companies in China, among which the railway and manufacturing industries are the most prominent. After the opening of the Chengdu-Chongqing railway, it brought huge returns to investors, and the Germans are seeking new railway construction. In terms of manufacturing, Wuhu Sino-German Automobile Factory and Wuhu Sino-German Small Diesel Engine Factory are successful models. The diesel engine factory has expanded from an annual output of less than 10,000 units to an annual output of 50,000 diesel engines of various types. The Sino-American diesel engine factory, which also has an annual output of more than 30,000 units, has been expanding its production capacity recently, and it will reach 50,000 units by the end of the year.

Diesel engines are used in a wide range of applications in China, from agricultural tricycles to inland waterway shipbuilding to large tractors (including tanks), and the market prospect of small diesel engines in China alone is 10 million units. The Yangtze River basin, where the economy is developing rapidly, is the most typical, with a large number of inland river boats filling the inland rivers in eastern and southern China.

Not to mention Mercedes, which is the buying and selling of the army. Only trucks, at present, the army is not enough, and the civilian market is too late to seize it, which is why Mercedes wants to expand production capacity, and it is uncomfortable to see how difficult it is to make money.

Rheinmetall cooperated with Chinese in Wuhu to produce artillery before World War I, and GiAusten, a German, now has a prominent position in the Wuhu military industrial group and even the entire Chinese industry. The Sino-German joint venture artillery factory has produced more than 3,000 cannons and mortars of various calibers, all of which have been purchased by the army.

There is no business that attracts a merchant more than a national order, and no merchant from any country can refuse the temptation.

With the words and deeds of the previous German administration, the faces of the latecomers showed some smiles, and they were no longer the highly nervous and stern expressions they had before.

"I can tell you responsibly that China has a large enough market, and investing in China will definitely not disappoint everyone." A certain German businessman said triumphantly that they had taken a step ahead of their compatriots from home and had received great rewards.

"Victor, you look beautiful right now." Biel joked that his cousin, a small businessman who had gone bankrupt in Germany, was now the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. The former German business giant in China, Lihe and foreign firms, has now been left far behind by Victor.

"Of course, I have been following in the footsteps of my boss all these years in China. I will do whatever he tells me to do. Now you see, I'm a shareholder of Eurasia Department Store, which owns 12 companies in Shanghai and Wuhu, and I don't have to worry about the lack of sales for my products. Last year, just one sulfuric acid plant brought me 300,000 yuan in income. In China, as long as you have the technology and capital, and find the right direction to set up an enterprise, it is inevitable to make money. By the way, I am still a shareholder of the Sino-German Wuhu Diesel Engine Factory, with 10% of the shares and a dividend of 150,000 yuan last year. "Victor is not a small character now, and in the face of Biel's cousin, he no longer has the slightest mentality. In Europe today, the survival of German companies is a problem. If it weren't for the fact that Rheinmetall had a cooperation project in China, it would have been unable to survive a long time ago, and the French would not even let go of the machine and would have to disassemble it to pay the debt.

When Biel wanted to say something to sarcastically mock Victor, Victor's eyes lit up, and he looked at the door and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to a friend." ”

Chen Zhaokeng also smiled when he saw Victor, as the actual person in charge of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group, Chen Zhaokeng drooled every time he thought of the German technology in shipbuilding. This time there were so many Germans, and they had to dig up some benefits for everything.

"Chen, it's great that you can come, I introduce my cousin Biel to you, their family's enterprise produces the best armor steel plates in the world. If you can help Biel get a certain tungsten mine in Jiangxi, China, I'm sure he won't let you down. When Victor mentioned tungsten ore, Biel's eyes were a little green. Before World War I, Germany tried to obtain the right to mine tungsten ore in China, but the war broke out before it was reached, and things were interrupted. Germany is short of rare technology! It's really lacking! This time in China, Biel clearly felt that Fang Jianxiong's estrangement from him was far from Bob's, and there was still no change.

After meeting Fang Jianxiong in Beijing, Biel came to Shanghai to inspect German companies in China.
