(The weather is changeable, I was tricked, I was uncomfortable, and I had a headache!) Attention everyone! )
Labor creates happiness, and the premise is that workers can enjoy the fruits of labor.
Looking at the six-lane highway that was taking shape little by little, He Yongyuan was a little puzzled. "Young master, won't this be too wasteful, four lanes is enough."
"Hehe, Tangshan Road is the main road that runs through the new Tangshan City, and the six lanes are not wide at all, if you don't consider the future development now, it will be troublesome to rebuild the roadside buildings after they are built in the future."
Situ Nan explained, smiling, "Don't you think it's very imposing to enter this wide and straight road as soon as you go ashore from the pier?" It makes people feel the determination of Nanhua's industrialization. ”
Tangshan Road runs from the wharf to the southern industrial zone outside the city, where ground is being broken, and passes directly through the urban area of New Tangshan City, dividing the loss into two parts, east and west.
Since Nanhua recruited a large number of planning experts from the United States and Germany, the construction of New Tangshan has accelerated into the city, and the urban planning has become more refined.
The city is also delicately divided into different functional areas, such as the western part of the commercial district, where the large corporate banks of Nanhua are concentrated. The eastern part is a government office, cultural center, and residential area, where most of the mansions of the Nanhua elite are concentrated, including the Situ Mansion.
The new arrivals, on the other hand, live in the southern suburbs, expanding south along Tangshan Road and more and more into industrial areas, where market towns have spontaneously emerged.
The short, dark-skinned indigenous Javanese saw a business opportunity and sold their crops to Chinese settlements.
"People are profit-seeking animals, and ordinary people don't think too much about advanced issues, they just want to live better."
Situ Nan chuckled softly as he pointed to the aboriginal vendor who was haggling with Chinese immigrants in awkward Cantonese not far away.
"Now there is a lot of infrastructure construction, and so many people are pouring in every day. Good news for the nimble-minded natives. They make money by selling whatever they want.
If it were me, I would go to the countryside to buy cabbage and transport it to the city to sell. If you have a good relationship with the engineering team and reach a long-term cooperation, you will make a fortune in a few years. He Yongyuan said with a smile.
"That's right. Or I'll take a month off. Asked you to be a greengrocer? See how much you can earn? The cost starts from 100 South Chinese dollars. Situ Nan said with a smile.
"Okay!" He Yongyuan nodded, seeing that Situ Nan was in a good mood, and he was also happy to joke.
Situ Nan thought for a moment and said, "The natives in the city are actually very different from the natives in the countryside, they are more business-minded. Before the arrival of the Europeans, most of the Arab merchants who came to the South Seas to do business, they brought Islamic culture to the South Seas, and at the same time passed on the seeds of commercial culture to the natives of the South Seas.
Later, as our economy is strong. Let the indigenous people of South China have to rely on us, our culture is getting stronger and stronger, and we vigorously promote Chinese culture. It is not difficult to assimilate them. ”
After speaking. Start the car and head towards Meihua Road, which is taking shape as the South China Financial Center.
They were to attend a groundbreaking ceremony. Witness the birth of a legend in Nanhua's financial industry.
The sharp-eyed Robles valued the development potential of New Tangshan, and when the financial industry in South China was dominated by the Bank of America, he was ready to open a securities exchange in New Tangshan.
Yao Hongmin also proposed that the Meihua Company should participate in it, and the two sides hit it off, and Huang Zhonghan, Li Yuanshan and others, who later smelled fishy, shouted to participate, so the first large-scale stock exchange in Nanyang, the New Tangshan Exchange, was born.
The first batch of companies to be listed on the New Tangshan Stock Exchange include large industrial groups such as the South China Railway Company, the Java Railway Company, Meihua Iron and Steel, and the Meihua Petroleum, all of which are the pillars of Nanhua's industrial and commercial community.
Although only a small number of shares are listed, the trading volume is not too large, but it is enough to make investors with a keen sense of smell in Nanhua flock to it.
Even British businessmen on the other side of the Strait rushed to New Tangshan in high spirits to buy shares in the joint venture between these American monopoly giants and the American-Chinese Company, the largest landlord in South China.
They all know that most of the resources of the entire Nanhua Company are monopolized by the Meihua Company, and the Meihua Company is Nanhua, and it is absolutely impossible to invest in the Meihua Company.
This was done in order to nurture South China's financial markets, and in fact, most of South China's financing channels were in New York and London.
"Hey! It's waiting for you. Robles saw Situ Nan get out of the car and beckoned from afar.
There were not many people attending the ceremony, and the high-level leaders of Nanhua were very busy and did not have time to come, but Robles, Handar and a few foreign devils were relatively free.
They will soon return to the United States after finalizing the investment plan with the Ministry of Industry. However, a large number of machines and equipment, as well as a large number of American technicians, will be sent to South China.
The ceremony was simple, just the shovel was just a gesture, Situ Nan found it interesting and very happy to leave his mark on this new city.
The film crew of "The Birth of a Nation" has not been withdrawn, but the original American photographer has been replaced by a Chinese photographer.
The photographer concentrated on shooting and recorded the birth of the future financial center of New Tangshan with his lens.
This film crew has the means to reach the sky, from the founding war to industrial construction, almost every special moment in Nanhua, they are used.
The Propaganda Department of Nanhua has built a warehouse to preserve those precious images, most of which will not be made public, but occasionally a little bit can be seen in the arduous process and unremitting efforts of the Chinese in Nanyang.
??????
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, economic and trade exchanges with the mainland of the motherland became more and more frequent, and the number of ships flying yellow and blue flags in the South China Sea also increased.
On the wharves in Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hankou, the Nanxing Steamship Company openly and openly displayed the yellow and blue flags, and more and more people in China also knew that it was overseas Chinese who hung the yellow and blue flags.
If you don't mix well in China, you can go to Nanyang to have a try, which is very attractive to those depressed young people.
After the Great Powers recognized the Nanhua government, the Beiyang government also established diplomatic relations with Nanhua. It's not good, it's not bad, there's no hatred between the two sides, it can be described from the word bland.
The two Guangxi provinces are engaged in construction behind closed doors, ignoring disturbances from other places. Before completely defeating the Northeast bandit Zhang and Anhui forces. Cao Wu, who is now in charge of Beijing, did not have the opportunity to make a move against the two Guangzhous for a while.
The two Guangxi and South China maintain close ties. The relationship between Meihua and Cao Wu is not bad, so the Beijing government and Nanhua are in a delicate relationship that is a little complicated: there is both cooperation and vigilance.
For those big guys. Suddenly a Nanhua appeared, their minds were a little complicated, after all, the concept of "the world is not the king's land" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
And a group of people who have come out of a poor and weak country. But in the backyard of Westerners, the tearing of the soil for the territory and the prestige outside the territory are in stark contrast to the terrible situation in the homeland, how not to make people feel a little complicated.
Maybe they're not ready to deal with Nanhua, right?
Beijing, Wu Peifu's residence.
Wu Peifu looked at the Jew in front of him with a complicated mood, and today Little Kadoorie came to visit him as a commercial counselor of South China.
In fact, Nanhua's embassy in China just hung an additional sign on the original Meihua company. Many employees of the Meihua Company temporarily added the name of counselor of the South China Ministry of Commerce.
This is a very interesting phenomenon because the South China government is very poor. There is no way to send a serious diplomat from the country and build a magnificent embassy like other powers. Show off your might.
The order issued by the South China government to the embassies (or the American Chinese Company) in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places is that. Pull people. Propaganda was carried out in South China, and domestic intellectuals, businessmen, bankrupt workers, and peasants were emigrated to South China.
It's too late for them to pull people from the country. Then the surplus population will be sent to the motherland. In fact, with the exception of a very small number of employees who are loyal to the company, most employees cannot distinguish between Chinese and South Chinese.
The instructions issued to them by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of South China are even more laughable: In South China they are Chinese in South China, and in the motherland they are Chinese in the motherland.
"General Wu, why don't you speak?" Little Kadoorie asked with a smile.
"What the hell is Nanhua like?" Wu Peifu asked.
"Sorry, I haven't been to see it either, but I've heard it's hot." Little Kadoorie smiled and said with a straight face, "According to my understanding, Nanhua is actually a relatively large company. Personally, I think that at least my identity has not changed, and I am still a businessman, a businessman who chases profits. Of course, it will also be a good friend of General Wu. I have some good goods in my hand, I wonder if General Wu is interested? ”
"What's good?" Wu Peifu said sensitively. He was noncommittal about little Kadoorie's words.
Little Kadoorie is a powerful arms dealer, Wu Peifu has purchased a large number of arms from him many times, and the effect is not bad, and Cao Wu's new direct line is also inseparable from the arms provided by Little Kadoorie.
In particular, Wu Peifu is now considered the most capable general in war, and many people think that he is a strong candidate for the unification of the country.
Seeing that Wu Peifu was interested, Little Kadoorie smiled slightly, "Made in Medan!" Just finished beating the Dutch, and it's still hot. Machine guns, cannons, you name it all, and it's cheap! ”
"Oh! They defeated the Dutch, and it is said that even the Dutch navy was defeated, which is not easy! Wu Peifu's knife-like gaze fell on little Kadoorie's face, and he was faintly unconvinced by the South China Army.
"I don't know about war, I just know that these things are useful to General Wu, and I can make money. To tell you the truth, now Nanhua is so poor that the army's weapons are exchanged for money not long after they run out.
Not only you, but how many more should I run? Zhang Dashuai in the Northeast and Lu Dashuai in Zhejiang, I have to go on a trip. ”
Little Kadoorie was half joking. In fact, the Meihua Company and other princes also maintained business contacts, but the transactions were not as good as those of Wu Peifu, a big customer.
Wu Peifu also knows this, not only the United States and China Company, but all arms dealers do this, doesn't he Wu Peifu also hook up with other arms dealers?
For the products of Meihua Company, Wu Peifu is still trustworthy. Little Kadoorie is not like other arms dealers who open their mouths at every turn, and Wu Peifu is very satisfied with this. 、
"This is a sample, made in Medan, imitating the German Mauser, much better than made in Hanyang." Little Kadoorie took a Medan rifle from his entourage and handed it to Wu Peifu.
"Good gun!" Wu Peifu played with it for a while and praised that he was no stranger to ordnance at all.
"Of course. The barrels are all imported from the United States, produced by large companies, and the quality is guaranteed, otherwise how can you beat the Dutch? This time, the price will be calculated according to Hanyang! I have 50,000 in my hand, and if you want it, I'll give it all to you. One-time payment, 10% discount, and another 1 million bullets. ”
Little Kadoorie said with some pain.
Now Nanhua's supplies themselves are not enough, when the ships of the Nanxing Steamship Company go north, the ships often have excess capacity, basically what Nanhua has value, can be exchanged for money, the Meihua Company is loaded on the ship, transported back to the mainland, and then carrying the population or other materials, full of return.
The South China Army began to retire, except for retaining 100,000 army troops and 50,000 policemen who were reorganized from the second-line troops, the rest of the soldiers took off their military uniforms and became the builders of South China.
Therefore, the South Chinese army vacated a lot of weapons and ammunition, including the weapons of the Dutch that had been captured before, more than 100,000 rifles, machine guns, and artillery.
Instead of putting these weapons in warehouses and taking up space, it is better to exchange them for money and engage in construction. Of course, Nanhua's attack on the indigenous forces will not stop, but it is true that there will be no large-scale war.
The military kept some of the weapons and sold the rest.
Feeling that little Kadoorie's attitude was a little eager, Wu Peifu didn't express his position immediately, and asked again: "Then, I need a plane, I don't know-"
"No problem, how much do you want?" Little Kadoorie said cheerfully.
"Why don't you give me 10 planes! I'll buy all the arms for you. Wu Peifu said, he felt more and more the importance of the plane, since there is a ready-made one, why ask for it.
Little Kadoorie was slightly stunned and looked at Wu Peifu.
Wu Peifu's eyes were calm, and there was no fluctuation.
"General Wu, it's a waste of your talent not to go into business. All right! Just do as you say! Little Kadoorie sighed.
The South China Air Force had more than 200 aircraft, and after the war, more than 100 aircraft were decommissioned, sold cheaply, and used to be converted into agricultural aircraft, flight school training aircraft, and mail airline transport aircraft.
Squeezing out ten planes to give to Wu Peifu is more than enough, anyway, even if it is not used for favors, it will be old in a few years.
"General Wu, in addition to talking about business, we also hope that you will do a little favor. That's the case, the situation in Nanhua, you also know, my big boss wants to absorb immigrants from the mainland to develop Nanyang, after all, the Chinese are still a minority in Nanyang, and it is not possible to deal with those indigenous people who do not have enough population.
Now the situation on the mainland is a bit chaotic, and many people do not have enough to eat, so we are ready to organize Chinese immigrants and let them go to South China to make a living. If we had your support, our plans would be much smoother. I think it's good for both sides. ”
Little Kadoorie said frankly. He was Jewish, but now he was getting more and more involved in the American Chinese company. Nanhua's emphasis on the Chinese population forced him to brace his spirits.
Wu Peifu thought for a while, felt that there was nothing wrong, nodded and said, "Yes." But we have to oversee. ”
"No problem." Little Kadoorie assured. Thinking in his heart, Wu Peifu may be afraid that Nanhua will expand his troops in China in the name of recruitment, so he smiled in his heart and didn't say anything.
With Wu Peifu's answer, things will be easy. At least Nanhua can not only recruit workers and immigrants in the Guangzhou-Guangzhou region, but also greatly facilitate intellectuals in the north, as well as some adventurous landlords and old wealth.
Wu Peifu has always sent people to supervise, lest little Kadoorie have any conspiracy. But from beginning to end, Meihua Company has rules and regulations, so they don't have the time to make small moves.
