In the study, Wang Yi talked about his ideas.

"I built a paper mill and a printing house to prepare for education in the future, and oh, I almost forgot that I was going to build a pencil factory."

The pencil Zhang family has also seen it, so it is not unusual.

"I didn't expect Wang Xiandi to build a factory with such a deep meaning, I don't know what this paper mill wants to use as raw materials."

"I plan to import foreign machinery and equipment, and the main raw material is reeds, and wood will also be used."

"Reeds?" Zhang Quanbao thought for a while and said, "This thing is cheap...... It can be said that I don't need money, and I have a reed pond at home. ”

The reed resources in the Fengtianfu area are abundant, and the wastewater produced by papermaking can also be recharged into the reed pond and become fertilizer for the growth of reeds. Of course, the Northeast region is also rich in tree resources, and Wang Yi is not so environmentally friendly if it is not used.

"I heard that there are many oil mills and flour mills in Yingkou now?" Wang Yi asked at this time.

Zhang Quanbao was clear about it, and said: "It's true, but most of it is in the hands of foreigners!" ”

In 1863, the Qing court was forced to open the ban on beans, and the ban on beans and stones in all treaty ports was opened, and foreign merchant ships were allowed to ship and sell them. After the opening of the soybean ban, a large number of foreign ships poured into Yingkou to participate in the transportation and trade of grain and beans, and the output of soybeans, soybean cakes and soybean oil in Yingkou gradually increased. However, soybeans at this time are mainly shipped to China's southeast coast. It was not until 1869 that the Qing government allowed the export of soybeans, and the destinations gradually expanded to Japan and the South Seas. After 1908, the grain beans in Northeast China began to officially enter the world trade system and began to be sold in Europe and the United States, and in this process, the proportion of grain beans sold to China began to decline year by year. In 1875, the year Wang Yi arrived in Mukden, Yingkou's soybean trade output reached 2.75 million quintals, and by 1891, it had increased to 7.31 million quintals.

When Wang Yi was on his tablet and accidentally saw this paper on the grain trade in Northeast China, he had a faint idea in his heart.

After listening to Wang Yi's statement, Zhang Jingxiao asked about the specific implementation steps of the whole plan, and the two asked and answered, and they were very enthusiastic.

Zhang Quanbao and Zhang Quande watched from the sidelines, all shocked and speechless, they knew that Wang Yi was quite ambitious, but they never thought that it would be so big. The Zhang brothers knew in their hearts that Wang Yi wanted to establish a trading monopoly company covering the production and processing of grain and beans in the entire northeast region.

After a long time, Zhang Quanbao laughed at himself, and said in his heart that although he was only in his forties, he suddenly felt that he was old when he looked at Wang Yi and his son. But then he laughed again, Wang Yi is a very person, he can't compare, and sometimes he doesn't even understand what he is talking about. But his son can keep up with his thinking and pace, what does a person live for a lifetime, it is nothing more than to have a good child while having fame and fortune. The Father is stronger than the Son, and it is a failure. The Son is the same as the Father, and it is also a failure. Only when the Son is stronger than the Father is success is success. I can't make it, my son can't do it, and that's it!

Wang Yibi's painting is quite big, and he doesn't know whether it will succeed or not.

The operation of the entire grain and oil processing plant, the four people in the study room talked for more than two hours, and the animal husbandry farm after that can be regarded as a supporting package for the grain processing plant. Because the soybean cake left over from the oil making institute is a good feed, and Wang Yi himself is a medical student, he has a unique advantage in animal husbandry reproduction and veterinary medicine when studying. What's more, both pack horses and donkeys and mules from future livestock farms can provide the necessary animal support for the transportation of soybeans and wheat on the road. As for the cement factory and glass factory, it was completely Wang Yi preparing for the future industrial construction.

Later, Wang Yi talked about his long-term plan, and for a whole day, the four of them were very interested, but they were also a little tired for a long time. Zhang Quanbao said at this time: "Brother Wang Xian really has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and my Northeast also has a glimmer of hope for self-preservation, but I don't know what my Zhang family can do for you in it?" ”

Look at how politely Lao Zhang said this, but Wang Yi understood that after talking for a few hours before, it was all false, and only Lao Zhang's words were true! In other words, if you Wang Yi painted such a big cake, what benefits can our Zhang family get!

"Brother Zhang is really a person who feels the world, since he brought it up, the younger brother is disrespectful." Wang Yi smiled, his tone was very polite, and he raised the Zhang family to a high place as soon as he came up.

"Don't dare to be, brother Xian, please speak!" Zhang Quanbao is also an old fritter, so naturally he will not be fooled.

"I think this grain and oil processing plant will be led by your family!"

Wang Yiti's grain processing plant not only processes but also monopolizes the production of raw materials for soybeans and wheat. This requires the signing of perennial buyout supply agreements with large landowners and small and medium-sized farmers, and although Wang Yi proposed this plan, he did not have the energy and connections to complete this idea. But he didn't succeed, but it doesn't mean that the Zhang family didn't succeed! According to the so-called six-dimensional space theory, the Zhang family, the head snake of Fengtianfu, eats both black and white, and takes the lead in the business of grain processing factories, which is really the most suitable.

"Isn't that okay?" Zhang Quanbao never thought that Wang Yi would give up such a large amount of capital.

"What's so bad!" Wang Yi laughed and continued: "Of course, the two of us alone will definitely not be able to support such a scene, and in the future, we can set up a board of directors to distribute the company's equity and let everyone make money together." ”

The statement of the board of directors and shareholders, when talking about the Dutch East India Company, Zhang Jingxiao explained to his father and uncle, in fact, this concept is not new, and it is easy to understand.

"Since Brother Wang has assigned the task, the elder brother naturally can't sit idly by."

"You're polite, you're a capable person!"

Other such as paper mills, printing factories, etc., Wang Yi did not think of sole proprietorship production, and the Zhang family would naturally participate in it.

Two days later, Wang Yi took Zhang Jingxiao to Yingkou, accompanied by an old housekeeper of the Zhang family and eight attendants and bodyguards. The Zhang family has an industry in Yingkou, and it is said that it is a very popular restaurant among foreigners, and at the same time it is also half a comprador. Wang Yi was not surprised by this, it is understandable that the building near the water will get the moon first.

After giving the Zhang family great benefits, Wang Yi was not polite anymore and began to mention his own conditions.

The first is to ask the Zhang family to find themselves 60 literate teenagers who are over 15 years old and under 20 years old, and who are in good health. The second is that Wang Yi wants to set up his own escort team, which is actually a security company, and claims to be understandable to people in this era - a dart game. Of course, they don't do business with foreign countries. The number is sixty people, all of them are good boys, trained by Wang Yi himself, and the treatment is good.

Zhang Jingxiao now officially worships Wang Yi as Mr., on the one hand, Zhang Jingxiao really respects Wang Yi's knowledge and insight, and on the other hand, it is also the Zhang family's means to win over Wang Yi. is the so-called Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, and the two sides also have a bit of an alliance. If it weren't for the fact that the Zhang family couldn't find a girl of the right age, maybe Wang Yi would have had one more daughter-in-law.

Compared with the Octagonal Terrace, Yingkou is of course much more prosperous, and many foreign sailors can be seen on the street, most of them are white, and occasionally blacks are seen. There are many foreign companies, but the better business is restaurants, restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses.

The name of Zhang's restaurant in Yingkou is: "Ten Jinxiang". After arriving at the place, the shopkeeper Chen, who was wearing a long-distance running horse coat, personally greeted him, and first gave Zhang Jingxiao a thousand salutes: "Good young owner!" ”

"Shopkeeper Chen is good!"

After entering the inner hall, Zhang Jingxiao began to introduce Wang Yi to the shopkeeper Chen, at first the shopkeeper Chen didn't take Wang Yi too seriously, thinking that he was a relative of the Zhang family. Later, when he heard that it was his own Shaodong's teacher, he became serious and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, Shaodong, the matter ordered by the owner has been clarified!" ”

At this time, the three of them had already arrived in a box in the backyard, all of which were hardwood furniture, which looked very luxurious, and I didn't know if it was an antique left over from the Ming Dynasty. There was a banquet on the round table, and the people who came with him had their own arrangements, and Wang Yi didn't have to bother.

"How?"

"The owners of three oil mills are ready to return to China for their own reasons, and if they want, I can contact them on their behalf and take down the factories."

Wang didn't ask about the oil mill, and everything that should have been written was already in the charter. Although Zhang Jingxiao admires Wang Yi, he is not enough to ask for advice on everything. The Zhang family itself has business, and Zhang Jingxiao is naturally not as good as Wang Yi in terms of vision, but in terms of the means of doing business, I am afraid that Wang Yi is not an opponent of others.

In the afternoon, Wang Yi took Zhang Jingxiao and began to wander the streets of Yingkou, first to the consulate area near the Sanyi Temple, as well as the customs, and then along the Liao River, where there are ports and foreign companies, the most famous is the Taikoo Shipping Company.

To tell the truth, Wang Yi didn't have a good impression of foreign companies, and Fengtian had issued a "Regulations on the Prohibition of Foreign Guns and Foreign Medicines", in which foreign guns were muskets, and the so-called foreign medicines - referring to opium! From 1861 to 1910, foreigners imported opium from Yingkou to 37,027 Sima Dan, one Sima Dan is equivalent to 60 kilograms, and the value is 19.84 million taels of silver. The people of the Northeast have suffered greatly, and it can be described as a heinous crime, and it is difficult to write about it!

However, Wang Yi didn't come here to cause trouble, so when he saw the big pipe along the street, he just frowned. glanced back at Zhang Jingxiao behind him and said, "Respect for filial piety." ”

"Sir!"

"Remember, if you smoke a lot of cigarettes in the future, the love between us will be over!"

"Filial piety understands!"

"I'm here to ask you the truth, does your Zhang family have anything to do with opium?"

Zhang Jingxiao's face became a little unnatural, but he still nodded in acknowledgement. "There are two small smoke houses in Mukden."

Wang Yi's gaze turned cold, and he said expressionlessly: "Send someone back to tell your father, if you still want to cooperate with me, close the smoke house!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

This is the first time Zhang Jingxiao has seen Wang Yi angry.
