On the busy Huangpu River floats a steamer belonging to the Minsheng Steamship Company, the flag fluttering, the ship is sailing out to the open sea, and the bustling Shanghai Beach is in the background, and the outline of the city is gradually fading, leaving only a line of black smoke above the river.

Boarding the ship from the Sixteen Pu Wharf, Du Yuesheng was in a rather uncalm mood, only to see that his thin face had a stern expression, and there was a melancholy color between his eyebrows.

For the sake of his own future and the Qing Gang, he had to go to Wuhan to investigate the increasingly powerful regime, and maybe he could find a way to reconcile.

"Since the tax police regiment entered Shanghai, the shape has changed, seeing that the Qing Gang has been suppressed and the opium business has suffered so much loss, the foreigners protest a few words without pain, but unlike the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which will drive warships into the Huangpu River at every turn, are they weakened, or are they ......?"

Du Yuesheng sighed secretly in his heart, when will he dominate Shanghai Beach not only look at the faces of foreigners, but also look at the faces of the government of the Republic of China?

The river is vast, and Du Yuesheng feels that the future of himself and the Qinggang is like the river in front of him, and he has to find a reliable wharf to go ashore.

"I knew you were here!"

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, his thoughts were interrupted, Du Yuesheng turned his head and saw that it was Yu Qiaqing, and quickly gathered the melancholy on his face, changed his smile and said to Yu Qiaqing: "Wusongkou is getting more and more lively, and you can see the lively construction site on the shore from afar, and the machine is rumbling non-stop, this Shanghai Xingang really has a bit of momentum!" ”

Yu Qiaqing nodded, and Du Yuesheng asked again: "Who would have thought that Meihua Company would dare to erect a steel plant by the sea?" ”

Looking at the nearly kilometer-long wharf construction site along the shore of the coast not far ahead, Du Yuesheng said that he felt the courage of Meihua Company in his heart, in terms of scale. There are more 16-shop piers at Xingang Wharf over the Bund. It's a pity that such a piece of fat is not something that the Green Gang can touch.

Yu Qiaqing nodded. Following the direction of Du Yuesheng's finger, he corrected Du Yuesheng's mistake slightly, and he smiled: "That's not an iron factory, but the new site of Jiangnan Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipyard has moved from Gaochang Temple to the seaside, next to the steel mill, and now they are building a 50,000-ton dock, and in the future, Shanghai's 10,000-ton giant ship will be built here." ”

Speaking of which. Yu Qiaqing's face showed a hint of expectation, Jiangnan Shipyard finally fell into the hands of Meihua Company, hoping that it could regain its former glory.

Du Yuesheng knew that Yu Qiaqing's main purpose in going to Wuhan was to purchase a batch of new steamships for the China Merchants Bureau, which he had not long acquired, and that Wuhan's shipbuilding industry, driven by the Hanyang Iron Works, had long passed the stagnant Shanghai, and even the steamers they were taking at the moment were from the Wuhan Shipyard.

My heart moved, and he said: "I didn't expect so many ships to run the Yangtze River, it seems that the shipping business is very prosperous, and the steamship China Merchants Bureau will be handed over to you by the God of Wealth, and it will soon be popular again!" ”

Du Yuesheng said with some envy. Money he has, but shipping companies like China Merchants Steamship. It wasn't his turn to get involved, but it cheapened Yu Qiaqing.

"Accept your words. Hehe. Yu Qiaqing smiled confidently, as if he was itched by Du Yuesheng's compliment, who doesn't know that now he is focusing on China Merchants Steamship?

Excitedly patted the railing, Yu Qiaqing said proudly: "I won't tell you, I went to Wuhan to bring back two ships like this one." ”

Yu Qiaqing seemed to be very confident in the Wuhan-built steamer, and gently stroked the railing with her palm. The merchant ship they took was 5,000 tonnage, dual-purpose for passengers and cargo, each cost about one million, the range was 7ooo nautical miles, and the engine was a popular three-rise reciprocating steam engine, and its performance was on par with the international average.

"Although the tonnage is in the middle grade, it is not easy for domestic merchant ships to reach such a level, and what is even more rare is that steel plates and engines do not need to be imported from Wuhan shipbuilding, which greatly reduces production costs, and the price is nearly half cheaper than foreign purchases. If there are ten such steamers, I dare to compete with those Britishmen in Jardine Matheson! So that they know that the Huangpu River is Chinese! ”

Yu Qiaqing smiled confidently and said longingly, not caring at all about revealing his ambition in front of Du Yuesheng. It has to be said that his plan is quite feasible, because the US-China consortium cooperated with Bethlehem Shipbuilding and Krupp to introduce a large number of steel shipbuilding related technologies, and in a few years has mastered the shipbuilding technology of 10,000 tons, and has sold ships at low prices to its Nanxing Steamship Company and other Chinese-funded shipping companies, so as to take back the domestic shipping market from the British and Japanese shipping companies.

Yu Qiaqing is optimistic about this market, and with his position in the Shanghai business community, he has taken an important step to win the steamship China Merchants Bureau.

Du Yuesheng probably understands these truths, although the relationship between the two is familiar, but seeing that others are proud and down, in contrast, he is also a little irritable, and said casually: "I have some spare money in my hands, I don't know if I can help the God of Wealth?" ”

Since what Yu Qiaqing said was so good, when Du Yuesheng revealed that he wanted to take a stake in China Merchants, Yu Qiaqing politely refused. Jokes, don't say that the major shareholder behind the steamship China Merchants is Meihua Company, even if it is not, he Yu Qiaqing does not want to recruit the Green Gang, although you Du Yuesheng has a bit of demeanor, but after all, you are a hooligan, aren't you?

Wuhan, Wuhan, Du Yuesheng loves and hates that city! At this time, a steamer sailing out of the Yangtze River was a little unhappy, because the oncoming steamer seemed to be of the same type as the one he was on.

The more popular this kind of boat is, the stronger the power in Wuhan, why not make Du Yuesheng under pressure? Every time I think of the opium boats floating on the Yangtze River, which used to be endless, but now they have been knocked out, my mood is even more gloomy.

He turned his head slightly, not looking at Yu Qiaqing's smiling face-Of course you are happy, but I was sent to the door to be criticized, how can you be happy?

But suddenly heard Yu Qiaqing say: "Railway bonds are the hottest in Shanghai's exchange, you might as well consider it." If you become a major shareholder of China Railway, it will be easier to establish a good relationship with Wuhan. ”

Du Yuesheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, thinking that this might be a good idea, probably nothing more than investing in railways to let the Wuhan government see his sincerity, right?

Looking at Yu Qiaqing's somewhat unfathomable face, Du Yuesheng secretly wondered if this was a condition for the Wuhan government to "recruit security", and said it through Yu Qiaqing's mouth?

Although Yu Qiaqing politely refused Du Yuesheng's investment in China Merchants Steamship, she also kindly pointed out a clear way for Du Yuesheng. Although Siming Bank is not as financially powerful as the American-Chinese Bank, and is also one of the shareholders of the China Railway Corporation, Yu Qiaqing recruited Du Yuesheng to invest in the railway, and he still has weight in this regard.

"That's a good idea!" Du Yuesheng nodded, seemingly agreeing with Yu Qiaqing's words, just looking at his shriveled face at this moment, it was rare to show a smile, and finally had more confidence in the next trip to Wuhan.

Back in the cabin, there are a lot of entertainment activities inside, mahjong, playing cards, eating/dancing, and Du Yuesheng's most obsessed play.

Although the sparrows are small and have all kinds of organs, although they are not as luxurious as international cruise ships, the Chinese tyrants in the first class can still enjoy and be satisfied from the babbling and shouting of the plays.

Yu Qiaqing has a wide range of contacts, and he became acquainted with many people soon after he got on the ship. Of course, Du Yuesheng is also very attention-grabbing and easy to be sought after, but people are just a little jealous of his identity.

There is also a person with a higher status on the ship, that is, Song Q Ling, neither Yu Qiaqing nor Du Yuesheng dare to be presumptuous in front of her, and they will somewhat please her.

She was accompanied by a thin and gentle man, Liao Zhongkai, a well-known figure of the Kuomintang left.

Thanks to Situ Nan, the Kuomintang was much less powerful than history, and was replaced by the Zhi Gong Party, and the market was bearish all the way, because there were more powerful enemies outside, the Kuomintang had no chance to take power, many internal contradictions were once covered up, and the struggle between the left and right factions was not as fierce as in history, and Liao Zhongkai, an originally unlucky leftist figure, survived without damage.

The two were chatting in the tea room, talking about the Kuomintang, which has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, thinking about how passionate and proud the League and the Kuomintang were when they fought with the Manchus and Yuan Shikai!

Seeing Yu Qiaqing and Du Yuesheng coming in, talking and laughing, it really looked like a wolf was a traitor, Song Qling frowned slightly, and her originally low mood was even more unhappy.

"Madame is so interested?" Yu Qiaqing greeted with a smile.

"It's okay!" Song Q Ling replied lightly, with a cold attitude.

Yu Qiaqing ate a soft nail and smiled on her face. Du Yuesheng wanted to talk a few more words, and talk to the female bigwigs, but seeing the other party's cold attitude, he walked away after a perfunctory sentence.

"This Mrs. Sun is really hard to talk to!" Yu Qiaqing shook her head gently as she walked away.

"Miss Song is not a fuel-efficient lamp! You guess you're being dragged down by me! Du Yuesheng said. is a gang leader, and the gap seems to be quite big in comparison. The main thing is that it's hard to pull a piece together.

"Du Yuesheng? Why is the Green Gang boss on this ship? Is he going to Wuhan too? Liao Zhongkai looked at the backs of Du Yuesheng and asked with some curiosity.

Liao Zhongkai has always been known for his strong ability to raise funds, and he is very sensitive to the potential financiers of the Kuomintang.

"I guess I also went to Wuhan. Probably something to do with opium! Song Qling said noncommittally, then sighed and changed the topic back, "The differences within the party are getting bigger and bigger, and splits are inevitable. Wang Jingwei and Sun Ke, two fools, were also deceived by Chen Jiongming. ”

And what about Song Ziwen? Liao Zhongkai was silent, added in his heart, looked at Song Qling, and suddenly thought: If you go to Wuhan, will this sister and brother fight? Blame the right wing of the party for having no bones and running to praise the stinky feet of the public party.

"Is the road of the Communist Party difficult? I don't think Wuhan will agree to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union! Liao Zhongkai was silent for a while, and slowly spit out a sentence.

"No matter how difficult the road is, we have to persevere, because we are all believers of Mr.!" Song Qling affirmed, feeling a pressure in her heart, no more than Shanghai and Wuhan are her relatives and political enemies! (To be continued......)
