"I also know the difficulties of the Finance Bureau!" Zhou Ziqi's words were not to give Xiong Xiling face, it was not that he didn't want to get financial support from the Finance Bureau, but he also knew that the Finance Bureau was indeed extremely miserable, and it was said that he couldn't even get the money to repair the General's Mansion in front of him.

You know, Li San personally found Xiong Xiling to ask for money, saying that if the general's mansion is not repaired, how can you let Zhao Dongyun live in, but Xiong Xiling was stunned and didn't give a dime, and in the end, Zhao Dongyun directly sold the entire former Shengjing General's Mansion out of his own pocket, and then paid for repairs.

To be honest, Zhao Dongyun's private assets now have more than the finance bureaus of the three eastern provinces.

Xiong Xiling is about to be scolded as an iron rooster, basically every day there are many people blocking him to ask for money, but no matter how these people shout, he doesn't give what he should give, he shouldn't give it to him, and he doesn't give it to him, anyway, in a word: no money!

So Zhou Ziqi never expected to get much money from Xiong Xiling!

"Regarding the construction plan and construction funds, our Yingkou municipal government's opinion is that in the early stage, we will mainly use the existing industrial city and a series of preferential policies to attract businesses to settle in, and it is not better to build a new city in the suburbs than with the Huludao Industrial Zone. In this way, it can effectively reduce the huge cost of infrastructure, and the port and inland waterway transportation can still initially meet the demand, and then raise funds for expansion and dredging when it is insufficient in the future. ”

"We have negotiated with Fuyuan Construction Company, Fengtian Railway Company, etc., it has been a preliminary discussion, Fengtian Railway Company has a very great interest in preparing for the construction of Yingkou branch railway, as long as we approve the business here, then Fengtian Railway will be a joint venture with Fuyuan Construction Company to undertake the Yingkou branch railway, and the specific construction is responsible for Fuyuan Construction Company."

Zhao Dongyun listened to a series of business names in Zhou Ziqi's mouth, and he was also evaluating the gains and losses in his heart!

Fengtian Railway Company, formerly known as Huludao Government Railway Company, mainly manages and operates the Huludao branch railway, but two months ago, after Zhao Dongyun raised troops to enter the customs, he sent troops to take over the railway lines along the way, and handed over the control of the railway to the Huludao government railway company, the company was renamed Fengtian Railway Company, managing and operating today's Beijing-Feng Railway, and at the same time, in order to develop the Fushun coal mine, it also invested in the construction of the Fushun railway branch line.

Fuyuan Construction Company, this company does not have any physical assets, but is a pure construction company, many enterprise projects belonging to Fuyuan Company and most of the infrastructure projects in Huludao are contracted by the company, building houses is just their small business, the main business is port construction and railway construction, and it is also the first company in China with super-large-scale engineering construction, especially railway construction capabilities.

In 1905, when Yuan Shikai set up the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, Fuyuan Construction Company undertook a large number of construction projects, and the famous Zhan Tianyou was the chief engineer of the company.

Such a large-scale development plan as Yingkou Industrial Zone is inseparable from the support of Fuyuan Construction Company.

"The Fengtian Railway Company is also short of funds, and it is not enough to invest in the construction of two railways at the same time, you can help me tell them to properly arrange the investment plan, and it is not good to blindly expand to cause the rupture of the capital chain!"

After Zhao Dongyun said it, he said: "The construction of this Yingkou, I will talk to the Fuyuan Company at that time, and see if they can advance part of the construction in the early stage, and put up the shelf first, but your municipal government will also do its best to raise funds." ”

When Zhou Ziqi heard Zhao Dongyun say this, a smile immediately appeared, what kind of company is this Fuyuan Construction Company? Looking at the name, you can know that it is a subsidiary of Fuyuan Company, and although the company Fuyuan Company is not very familiar to outsiders, people in the high-level military and political aspects know that this company is Zhao Dongyun's name.

Zhao Dongyun opened his mouth and asked them to advance funds for construction, which also made Zhou Ziqi breathe a sigh of relief, so that his financing term could be more relaxed.

"But this Yingkou railway branch line is to be connected to the Eastern Railway, and then connected to the Jingfeng Railway, what does the Eastern Railway Company say?" Zhao Dongyun asked.

When it comes to railways in the contemporary Northeast, you can't bypass the Middle East Railway!

The railway network of the three eastern provinces is now composed of the Jingfeng Railway and the Eastern Railway.

Jingfeng Railway, that is, the original name of the Guanwai Railway, the railway began to be gradually built as early as the Sino-Japanese War, and when the Gengzi year had been repaired to the Xinmin Mansion, but with the Gengzi Incident, the Russo-Japanese War and other events continued to break out, the political and military and economic factors were strict zhòng affected the construction of the follow-up railway, and the section from the Xinmin Mansion inside and outside the Guanzhi to Shenyang until the Russo-Japanese War subsided, after the Japanese and Russian sides began to negotiate, there was no impact of the war, and the construction of the railway was accelerated.

It was officially completed a few months ago, and the entire railway line inside and outside the Kansai was opened to traffic, which coincided with the establishment of the Republic, so it was renamed 'Jingbong Railway'

The opening of the whole line of the Jingfeng Railway means that the railway traffic of the three eastern provinces has reached a preliminary and perfect stage.

In addition to the Gyeongbong Railway, the rest is the Eastern Railway!

The Middle East Railway originated from the 'Dongqing Railway' jointly built by China and Russia, which was completely occupied by the Russian side after the Gengzi year, and was later renamed the 'China Eastern Railway', referred to as the 'Eastern Railway'.

The railway takes Harbin as the center, west to Manchuria, east to Suifenhe, south to Lushun, the railway was changed to multinational condominium operation after the Russo-Japanese War, and at the same time, the narrow-gauge military railway "Anbong Railway" built by Japan during the Russo-Japanese War was also included in the scope of multinational condominium and was ready to be revised into standard regulations to become part of the Middle East Railway.

The above 'China Eastern Railway' is operated by the 'China Eastern Railway Company', which is jointly composed of Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Russia, Japan and China, and according to the various treaties signed in the pre-Qing Dynasty, the 'China Eastern Railway Company', which is composed of many countries, still has a series of rights such as the right of first refusal to develop along the railway.

However, in the past, the extremely important railway garrison right has been diluted, because it is a multinational joint management, this garrison also has to come with many countries, but not every country has the same ambition as Japan and Russia to fully annex the three eastern provinces, Britain, the United States, Germany, and France want money, priority development rights, but do not care much about the garrison.

Moreover, the idea of Japan and Russia wanting to garrison troops was also unanimously opposed by Britain, the United States, Germany, France and China, but this railway cannot but be protected, especially since the Eastern Railway Company is still an enterprise with garrison power, administrative power, and judicial power along the railway, similar to the colonial government.

So the strange thing appeared, the China Eastern Railway Company has a private army, that is, the 'China Eastern Railway Road Guard', and this army is the same as the United Nations peacekeeping force in later generations, is a purely international force, the total number of more than 3,000 people, the commander of the road escort team is the British retired Navy Colonel John, under the four infantry battalions and a cavalry battalion.

Of course, on the surface, they are mercenaries, but in fact, most of them are active soldiers from various countries, for example, the cavalry battalion is the cavalry battalion of the Russian Army, among the four infantry battalions, the Japanese themselves occupy one, the Russians occupy one, a patrol battalion under Zhao Dongyun occupies one, and the other is occupied by soldiers sent by Britain and France.

This China Eastern Railway Company may seem to future generations to be a product of the loss of power and humiliation of the country, but in fact it is the biggest condition that China can reap.

What is the biggest role of the China Eastern Railway and the multinational condominium of Lushun?

It was to cut off the comprehensive penetration and control of the three eastern provinces by Russia and Japan, and Port Arthur did not become a naval base of Japan, but became a public concession like Shanghai, and Port Arthur became a public port, and there was no Kwantung Army of tens of thousands of people.

As for the loss of some sovereignty and commercial interests, there is no way to do it, this world is originally a worse world, and now the multinational co-management is better than letting Japan and Russia encroach on it.

The two major trunk lines of the Middle East Railway and the Jingfeng Railway, together with a small number of branch lines along the line, such as the Fushun Railway, Huludao Railway, Yingkou Railway, etc., constitute the railway network of the three contemporary eastern provinces.

In 1906, the three eastern provinces had the most complete and dense railway network in China, and it can be said that the railway network of the three eastern provinces laid the foundation for the Northeast to become an industrial base in later generations.

After agreeing on the Yingkou Railway, one of the biggest obstacles representing the Yingkou Industrial Zone was to disappear, and then Zhou Ziqi talked about the detailed investment promotion plan.

"According to the previous industrial structure of Yingkou, we still believe that we should continue to develop the soybean processing industry as the main direction to compete directly with Dalian!" Zhou Ziqi said: "The core goal is to build a soybean industry base in the Far East!" ”

Zhao Dongyun nodded: "This idea is still relatively practical, Yingkou has his traditional advantages, but also has his flaws, don't blindly learn from Huludao Industrial Zone!" ”

In the Huludao Industrial Zone, in the early years, in order to develop, enterprises were basically pulled in, such as soybean processing industry, winemaking, textiles, and even machinery manufacturing, cement, chemical industry, etc., almost all of which were more or less there, and finally there was everything, which caused certain challenges to the sustainable development and management of the industrial zone.

"The soybean processing industry is the dominant industry in Yingkou, but the development momentum of the textile industry in recent years is very good, and you should pay more attention to Yingkou!" Zhao Dongyun looked at the table and said: "In the past two years, the industrial development path of our three eastern provinces is still correct, the soybean processing industry and the textile industry go hand in hand, not only to develop the traditional soybean processing industry, but also to set up a new textile industry!" ”

"Go back, you make a detailed investment plan!" Zhao Dongyun closed the plan in his hand, the preparation of this Yingkou Industrial Zone was decided one day earlier, and it was formalized one day earlier, otherwise when all the investment in Dalian was snatched away, what kind of industrial zone would this Yingkou run.

After sending Zhou Ziqi and the others away, Zhao Dongyun didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and Yang Debiao outside said that Cao Kun and Lin Yongquan and other military generals had also arrived!

Zhao Dongyun rubbed his head, and then said, "Let them all come in!" ”
