The welcome banquet held at the Incheon Affairs Hall was a grand one, and for those who had just arrived in Incheon from China, whether it was Tang Haoran's personal greeting or the sincere invitation and speech at the welcome banquet, it was enough to show that they attached great importance to them, and no one would doubt that they could not develop what they had learned here, and even if they were spectators, their minds were drifting because of Tang Haoran's speech, and the idea of staying in North Korea was born.

"We're going to do it here, and it's going to be a great thing like no one before......"

Exploit......

With a little bit of alcohol, Zheng Tingxiang, who walked out of the affairs hall, did not go to the residence of the Shandong Guild Hall, but walked in the Chinese concession.

Why back to China? Just because of a letter from a classmate? Or is it a whim?

Zheng Tingxiang didn't know the answer, but he knew that after receiving Tang Shaoyi's letter, he had already decided to give up his job in the United States, and even his family returned to China without hesitation.

How easy is that?

What happened to his classmates and friends after returning to China even made him despair of the country in a certain way, but now Tang Haoran intends to implement a new policy in North Korea, or more precisely in the Incheon Special Administrative Region, completely emulating the new policies of Europe and the United States.

"This will be a testing ground, and in five years, maybe ten years, when we succeed in our business, the New Deal will be applied to the whole country. I hope you can work together with me here for the future of China! ”

Just a simple word. But Zheng Tingxiang no longer regretted his choice.

China's Future!

Isn't this what I've been worried about?

However, with the northern part of Incheon and the barren land and poor people of North Korea, will the Incheon Special Economic Zone in the future be able to prosper like Shanghai, and finally become the will of the people, and then show the effect of the new policy to the people?

Smoking a cigarette, Zheng Tingxiang, who had a lot of thoughts for a while, was in a state of contradiction and struggle, and he walked along the streets of the concession. Staring at the concession in front of him, he knew that in a certain way, this was a paradise for Chinese merchants, compared to China, Chinese merchants here did not need to worry about the extortion and extortion of the government, and could be fully protected by the government, they enjoyed too many privileges here, which were unimaginable privileges in China, perhaps for national businessmen. This is the most attractive part.

Walking, walking. Zheng Tingxiang, who was full of thoughts, suddenly found himself in a wide street, which was wider, and the buildings on the side of the road seemed to be a bit like Japanese-style buildings.

It was here that Zheng Tingxiang saw that under the street lamp, several drunken Japanese were singing and walking along the street, they were wearing suits, looking at these Japanese in suits, Zheng Tingxiang realized that he had come to the Japanese concession, these people were Japanese businessmen, and the current business war on the Korean Peninsula was all concentrated between Chinese and Japanese businessmen.

If there was no abolished king of the "Yingenmen Incident", perhaps there would still be competition between the governments of China and Japan on this peninsula, and even the United States, thinking of the complex interior and exterior of this small land, although he did not know much about it, he could also feel the weight of the responsibility on his shoulders, listening to the incomprehensible Japanese song, Zheng Tingxiang's expression became solemn, and his breathing became short.

"Japanese ......"

Since the 13th year, the Japanese government has been sending naval warships to survey and survey the east and west coasts of Korea as if no one has been in a no-man's land, and Incheon, which was only a fishing village at the time, came into the eyes of the Japanese, who decided that Incheon had good conditions for opening a port, and even completed the design of the port of Incheon. Five years later, Inchon was finally opened as the Japanese wanted, and the emergence of Qing government forces in Jemulpo was one year later than the Japanese side.

Japan, which was the first to arrive, was immediately at the most important point in the port of Incheon, and because of this, although there are several floating wharves in the Chinese realm, they can only berth small tonnage ships, and large ships often choose to enter the wharves built by Japanese businessmen when entering Incheon Port.

Zheng Tingxiang, who came to the Japanese Concession for the first time, found that the difference between the Japanese Concession and the Chinese Concession was not because of the roadside buildings, nor because of the Japan he encountered before, but because of the ......

"In this place where Chinese and Japanese forces coexisted, Chinese merchants in the Chinese concession opened restaurants and agency houses in accordance with traditional economic methods to maintain the last majesty of the so-called empire. On the other hand, Japanese businessmen, in accordance with the theories of contemporary economics, opened banks and established shipping companies, which were two completely different ways, and even determined their future in a certain way. ”

The words that sounded next to him made Zheng Tingxiang stunned Tang Rongjun, who was one of the few senior Chinese employees of HSBC, and the relationship between the two was not bad when they studied in the United States.

"Shuqi, what's wrong with you?"

"If you can't see it, just come out and take a look......"

Tang Rongjun's expression looked a little dignified, and the Japanese concession on his fingers became more and more solemn.

"Before I came to Incheon, I knew about this place, although the Chinese enjoy privileges here, but in my opinion, the Chinese concession has no future, as for this method of the Chinese, there is absolutely no future, and even fate has been decided from the day the concession was established!"

Tang Rongjun, who had a stern expression, took a cigarette from Zheng Tingxiang's hand and continued to explain.

"Because opening a restaurant is just to make a living, to maintain the survival of the individual; In contrast, the opening of a bank in Incheon by the Japanese was an element of the modern economy and a necessity of a strong society, that is, the power of capital to promote the development of the concession and Japanese merchants. Similarly, both China and Japan need to reach Korea by water, and the establishment of strong shipping companies is also a key factor, and China has already lost economically to Japan in terms of the business activities carried out by merchants from both countries in Incheon. ”

Walking on the Japanese concession in Incheon, Zheng Tingxiang, who was full of thoughts because of Tang Rongjun's words, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"yes, on the way here. Those foreign businessmen were talking about how to sell European and American goods to North Korea. Then return home with North Korean placer gold. On the other hand, the Japanese, on the one hand, sell industrial consumer goods, and on the other hand, they purchase rice, cowhides and other local goods from North Korea to meet their own production needs, which even affects the operation of the merchant ships of the two countries. However, Japan's merchant ships are fully loaded back to China, so the freight is naturally lower, and its shipping industry can be fully developed. Let's look at it again? Even with the addition of the three sailing ships of the Beiyang Shipping, there are only a few......"

With his back against the guardrail of the pier, behind him are steamships, and in front of the building of the Japan East Asia Steamship Company, Zheng Tingxiang and Tang Rongjun, who are full of thoughts, are talking to each other, as if they are sorry for the feeling of being in this land.

"But now everything is changing!"

Tang Rongjun took out the cigarette in the silver box from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it into the cigarette holder. Unhurriedly, hold it in your mouth. Striking a match, after. Light the cigarette. He took a deep breath. It took a long time before he spit out the cigarette at the East Asia Steamship Company.

"Beiyang shipping, banks, factories, compared to the Japanese, our Tang people have gone further!"

The reason why Tang Rongjun came to Incheon was because of a sentence in his friend Yu's letter: "You came to North Korea and established the central bank of North Korea in Fuzhong!" Just a simple sentence made him leave his job at HSBC and come to North Korea, the central bank of North Korea, this is just the beginning, maybe in the future, there will be the central bank of China!

And he will start the first bank in China here!

When the two of them were smoking, they didn't notice that there was a Japanese man in a suit standing next to them.

"Hello, gentlemen!"

The stiff Chinese made Zheng Tingxiang stunned, Tang Rongjun turned his head and spit out the cigarette in his mouth, but it sprayed directly on the Japanese, and the green smoke lingered around the Japanese standing next to him for a long time.

Of course, Tang Rongjun didn't mean to. But Nakajo still felt that Zheng Tingxiang seemed to be deliberately showing off the fragrance of cigarettes to himself, and when he saw this extremely tall young man in a suit with short hair upstairs, and this young Chinese man in a clean robe, he knew that it must be a staff member invited by Tang Haoran, the commander of the Joseon Dynasty, -- dozens of young children studying in the United States.

"You ......"

Looking at the "Yamato man" in front of him, who interpreted the name "Little Dongyang" and was barely over one meter five in height, Zheng Tingxiang asked in some surprise.

"Two gentlemen, I'm Koichi Nakajo, head of the Mitsui & Co. Jegunura Branch, and I would like to take care of me in the future!"

Bowing ninety degrees, Zheng Tingxiang saw a business card at the same time, these Japanese can be said to have learned the foreigner's set.

"Oh, Mitsui & Co. ......"

Mitsui, hearing this name, Zheng Tingxiang didn't know Mitsui's reputation, but Tang Rongjun took the business card, but seriously looked at the middle strip in front of him, when he was in Shanghai, he dealt with Mitsui & Co., Mitsui & Co. opened the Shanghai market by relying on coal, and I think the same is true in North Korea.

"Hello, Mr. Nakajo, I'm sorry, I don't have a business card."

Putting the business card into his pocket, Zheng Tingxiang said with a smile.

"You and I both live in North Korea, if there is something to take care of, of course!"

Zheng Tingxiang was polite, but in exchange for Zhongtiao's enthusiasm.

"Haha, I didn't expect to see two gentlemen here, if you don't dislike them......"

Nakajo looked at the two people in front of him and warmly invited.

"We can go to the restaurant and have some night, what do you two gentlemen think?"

The reason why Nakajo is interested in these two people in front of him is because of their identity - young children in the United States, this is the only group of people in China who have experience studying in the West, and now they are in the unified prison office, what kind of changes will they bring to the unified prison office? That's exactly what he wanted to learn.

Although he was only a businessman, it was also his duty to gather intelligence, and he was obliged to inform the country about changes and intelligence in North Korea, and when he sent out invitations, he had a humble smile on his face and a look of sincerity that made it difficult to refuse.

What does this Japanese man want to do?
