"What? Are you going to buy shares of Qiaoxing? Hu Guolian looked at Situ Nan in surprise, and then shook his head again, "No, no"

"Why?" Situ Nan was puzzled. Since Hainan's Qiaoxing Company is already a mess, why didn't Hu Guolian sell it to himself? Although the industry has been corrupted, the nominal Qiaoxing is still the main entry of those industries. With the signboard of Qiaoxing Company, it will be easier for the Zhi Gong Party and Meihua Company to control Hainan.

"Hou Shengzi, it's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but I can't pit you!" Hu Guolian said earnestly, "Do you know that there are still frequent bandits in the hinterland of Hainan Island, and warlords have been divided year after year? If you invest in Hainan now, you will only lose all your money. If I sell Qiaoxing Company to you, will it hurt you? ”

"So that's the case, your old beloved Situ is thinking about you. I thought you were reluctant, old man? Situ Nan said with a smile, not taking Hu Guolian's words to heart at all, but he was secretly grateful for this old man's care.

He Wenxiu's gang was too idle in Nanyang and couldn't make a big move, so he proposed to go to the mainland to give it a try. The Hu family is worth handing over, and you can lean more resources to the Hu family in the future. Situ Nan thought to himself.

"You child, how can such a thing be child's play? That's a knife and a gun, not as simple as spending money to do business. If something happens, you'll regret it. ”

Hu Guolian looked at Situ Nan's indifferent appearance, and was so angry that he knocked on the ground with a cane. Doing business also pays attention to the timely and local benefits. At present, what is most lacking in investment in the mainland is to enter the mainland. After the outbreak of the Hai Revolution, the political situation in the provinces became unstable, wars broke out from time to time, and the Hu family's various investments in various parts of China became disillusioned, and the vitality of the Hu family was greatly damaged. Hu Guolian, who had had a heartache, naturally didn't want Situ Nan to jump into the fire pit as well.

"Listen to me, old man." Situ Nan looked at Hu Guolian and became a little angry, and hurriedly said, "I know that you are for my good, and the situation on Hainan Island is indeed a lot of problems." I have considered the bandits in rebellion, the warlords' scuffles, and the conflict between the Lebanese and the Han people. It's just that the situation of Meihua Company is a bit special, and we have the ability to solve the situations you mentioned. ”

"If it can be solved, how can it be solved? If I don't tell me why, even if I let Qiaoxing continue to rot, I will never give it to you. Hu Guo said a little roughly, with a stubborn face.

For such an old man, the other party has good intentions, Situ Nan has a headache, it seems that it is not possible not to reveal some things. Thinking of this, he looked around and motioned for the other party to step back in.

Well, this is in the Hu family's mansion in Bincheng. In order to get the Qiaoxing Company in Hainan from Hu Guolian, Situ Nan had to visit Hu Guolian in person.

After Hu Guolian reprimanded and entered, only Situ Nan, Hu Guolian and Hu Maoqing were left in the room.

"Good! You can tell. Hu Guolian glanced at Situ Nan, he didn't have a good air, he really didn't understand that this kid was so shrewd, but he insisted on going to Hainan, isn't this a mistake?

"What I want to say next is the biggest secret of Meihua Company, I hope the old man and Maoqing will keep it secret, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

Situ Nan straightened his face, looked at Hu Guolian and his son, who had already been strict, and said solemnly: "In fact, Meihua is not only a company, but also a huge consortium, but also an East India Company!" ”

"What?! East India Company? Hu Guolian and his son were stunned by Situ Nan's words. Although the East India Company is history, there is no one in the South Seas who does not know about the East India Company.

Hundreds of years ago, it was the Dutch East India Company that began the history of colonization of the South Seas, and there was nothing that the East India Company did not dare to do in order to plunder resources. The East India Company was not only a corporation, but a group of savage and powerful bandits. Thanks to them, the descendants of the East India Company now rule the South Seas. The Dutch, the British, and the French entered, each with its own East India Company, but now it has changed its name to the colonial government.

Meihua is the East India Company? The gentle and young Situ Nan in front of him is the East India Company's words?

Hu Guolian felt that this was the funniest joke he had heard, and even Hu Maoqing on the side looked at Situ Nan with wide eyes.

"Young in, do you know what the East India Company is?" Hu Guolian asked patiently.

"Old man, Maoqing, I'm serious. After listening to me, I will prove it to you. Situ Nan knew that he was a little arrogant just now, but in his heart he thought of Meihua Company as such.

"In the last few years, a consortium has risen in the western part of the United States, and this consortium made a lot of war money in World War I, and as for how many, I think there are more than the Chinese businessmen in the whole of Nanyang combined.

But that's not the point, the point is that the boss of the consortium is a Chinese entrant, he makes a lot of money, but he can't help his home country change the situation of being bullied. Of course, he was very angry when he saw the unequal treatment that the United States had received, and later he wanted to use his financial resources to find a place for the Chinese to settle down overseas. So he chose Nanyang and began to organize some like-minded people.

While investing in industry in the United States, he set up a security company, which he used to build a small army. Many of the security companies are Chinese.

In order to avoid suspicion, when the First World War was not over, he began to separate the security companies, and some of them were sent to Latin America and other regions, and in the name of the company, he organized Chinese reclamation and immigration.

Some of them were sent back to Nanyang, and they also used the company as a cover to open farms, build migrant settlements, train militias, and slowly secretly accumulate strength.

This is Meihua! The Meihua company not only has a lot of money, industry, but also the army! Isn't this the East India Company? However, we are different from the Dutch who burned, killed and looted, we are a group of helpless people who are struggling for survival, and the purpose of the United States and China is to seek a resting place for thousands of Chinese people in the South Seas. ”

Situ Nan nodded slightly to Hu Guolian and bowed. It is not only to respect the elderly, but also to show one's respect to those who are patriots. In a sense, the efforts made by Meihua and Hu Guolian are both aimed at the same purpose.

If we take a closer look at Hu Guolian's life, we will find that not to mention the development of Hainan with his own pockets, he donated 3 million taels of silver to the Qing Dynasty to build a navy to resist foreign enemies, and at the same time built railways, opened Qiong mines, and founded nine schools at home and abroad, including Zhonghua School, Zhonghua Women's School, Yongding Normal School, and Youxing School, which cost millions of money! It is not an exaggeration to describe the destruction of the family as the country! This kind of deficit heart can show the sun and the moon!

Unfortunately, when he learned that Cixi had moved the donated silver to build the palace, Hu Guolian, who was extremely disappointed, began to fund the League again and resolutely opposed the Qing Dynasty.

The later decline of the Hu family is not so much related to the current situation, but rather to say that Hu Guolian's almost unreserved patriotic behavior led to too much blood transfusion of the Hu family, and gradually withered. The Hu family, which is now cooperating with Situ Nan, has declined a lot compared to when it was at its peak.

Situ Nan is not Hu Guolian, he knows very well that it is better to rely on himself than to rely on himself, and it is impossible to succeed in the revolution by donations, and only by organizing and participating in his own organization can he have a little fucking change in the current situation. So he will not give another penny to the Kuomintang, but leave it to the Meihua Company to complete its mission.

"Old man, to put it mildly, we can only get in and out of the country by our own efforts overseas, and we can only find a place for our white spoon nation by relying on the blood and sacrifice of our children. Only when we stand up can we turn back and give back to the motherland. Otherwise, no matter how many warships are donated to Beiyang, this mud will not be able to support the wall after all. I think you know that. Situ Nan said with emotion.

He knew that Hu Guolian would not betray him, so he was relieved to confess to the other party the behind-the-scenes secrets of the Meihua Company. Taking a step back, betraying Meihua will not do the Hu family any good, and it will even be wiped out! So even if the Hu family hates Meihua, they don't dare to tell the truth. Otherwise, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there would not have been so many royalists and so many revolutionaries in Nanyang, in fact, most of them were all the same, just betting at both ends.

"What you say is true?" Hu Guolian stared at Situ Nan deadly, holding his cane tightly in one hand, he didn't expect to hear such surprise, panic, and exciting news before he was about to die.

"Hmm. Actually, we have done more than I said, and since the time is not yet ripe, we have to continue to hibernate and accumulate strength. This time, I want to get Qiaoxing Company, not only to expand the strength of our white spoon, but also to train our white spoon soldiers and horses to prepare for the future. Situ Nan said earnestly, looking at Hu Maoqing, who was a little excited, and said, "If Maoqing is interested, I can let you take you to visit our white spoon base, and then you will know that what I said is true." ”

Listening to Situ Nan say this, although Hu Guolian tried his best to stay calm, his heart was already turbulent, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, and after a while he calmed down, and said with a slight hoarseness: "This matter is indeed not trivial, once it is successful, Nanyang will be unexpected, and the wind and clouds will change, like thunder." Maoqing, absolutely not leak half a sentence. ”

Hu Guolian turned to Hu Maoqing, although he knew that his son was stable, he still couldn't help but warn him.

Hu Maoqing nodded solemnly, and said, "Mr. Situ, take the liberty of asking, our Huajin is in a weak position in Nanyang, and if something happens, I am afraid that it will be implicated." What you are planning is most dependent on force, and I would like to ask, are you really sure? ”

This was also what Hu Guolian wanted to ask, and he also looked at Situ Nan expectantly.

"There is no such thing as absolute success, only absolute confidence. As for the matter of force, it is inconvenient to disclose, but I can boldly say that if it is not for the fear of Britain entering, we can take care of them at any time. The land we seek is on the south coast, so we won't be too involved in this side. ”

Situ Nan pointed to the Strait of Malacca, and the meaning was very clear, that is, to deal with the Dutch, it would not compete with the British, so the Huajin family in Malaya would not be careful of annihilation.
