The aftermath of the third volume is 146 fixed and wide, and dividends are collected

After the Guangdong-Guizhou War affected the hearts of many people, Lin Yimin rushed to Guangzhou from Shanghai with his newlywed wife, and the important leaders of the Zhi Gong Party, who had gathered in Shanghai because of his wedding, also rushed to Guangzhou to participate in the division of war dividends according to the plan.

Especially in western Guangdong and Guangxi, the Zhi Gong Party was dominant, and the party leader began to serve as the local chief executive, accumulating experience for the future Nanyang nation-building.

"This time I won a big victory, Mr. Situ made great contributions!" Lin Yimin praised Situ Meiden.

"Haha! The old man has indeed worked a lot, but now to take over such a big stall at once, you have to use money everywhere, and you have to be generous with this little god of wealth! Situ Meiden said proudly.

"That's for sure." Lin Yimin said with a smile, "I just came here in a hurry to send money." You see, this is the young master's telegram! ”

Lin Yimin handed Situ Nan's telegram from the Pacific Ocean to Situ Meiden.

"Fangcheng, Hainan?" Situ Meiden looked at Lin Yimin with some confusion. In his view, the company should concentrate its investment in the rich Pearl River Delta region.

"Fangchenggang is the main port of Guangxi and an important hub port in the country, and it is a strategic base for us to control the Beibu Gulf and the South China Sea in the future. It is backed by Nanning, and if we want to develop and utilize Guangxi's resources, we must first expand Fangchenggang.

Hainan has a large natural iron block, now we have been proven, the next step of the company will focus on the development of Hainan Shilu iron mine, the iron plant is located in Fangcheng, coal on the choice of Guangxi coal or Annan Hongji coal mine, through guò sea transport is very convenient. Lin Yimin said. Originally, the best choice was Guangzhou Bay, but now that the French occupy Guangzhou Bay, we have to choose Fangchenggang.

Stuart nodded.

"In addition to iron ore and fisheries, Hainan also has an important resource, which is salt! I heard that Ah Yong was very heroic this time, he didn't destroy the Yingge Salt Farm, right? ”

Lin Yimin asked with a smile.

"Not really. As soon as they landed in Hainan, the Gui army surrendered. Situ Meiden replied proudly, "What are you going to do in the salt field?" ”

"Huh! The salt works are by far the biggest gain of this operation, otherwise I would have died of those military spending. Lin Yimin said with a smile. When the Sixth Division occupied Hainan, the Meihua Company wantonly plundered Hainan's salt farms, such as the Yinggehai Salt Farm, the Oriental Salt Farm, the Sanya Yuya Salt Farm, and the Millennium Ancient Salt Farm.

Yinggehai Salt Farm is the third largest salt field in Changlu, Hebei Province and Budai, Taiwan, with an area of 3,700 hectares and an annual salt output of 20,000 tons. However, according to the assessment of American experts sent by the company, if we make every effort to renovate the Yingge Sea Salt Farm and introduce a large number of machinery production, the annual output can reach 200,000 tons. Together with our other salt works, we have 250,000 tons of salt in our hands, which can easily monopolize the salt industry in South China, and even sell it to Shanghai. ”

Lin Yimin said excitedly.

"So many? Oh my god! Situ Meiden looked at Lin Yimin in surprise.

Needless to say, the importance of salt is as huge as the interests behind the monopoly of the governments of all dynasties are the same as the monopoly of oil a hundred years later.

The Manchu Qing's debts to foreign countries were secured by salt taxes, which shows the importance of salt. According to the current salt price of 0.1 yuan per kilogram, the output value of Yinggehai Salt Farm alone exceeds 20 million a year!

Thinking of this, Situ Meiden couldn't be calm. If taxes could be levied from salt production, the Zhi Gong Party's rule in Hainan would have a reliable source of funding.

"At present, of course, there are not so many, there is a lot of investment in the early construction of salt farms, the company decided to invest 2 million to expand the salt farms in Hainan, and it is estimated that the output can reach 50,000 tons after 3 years. 100,000 tons per year in the next ten years.

At the same time, Hainan will make use of the rich salt resources and invest 3 million yuan to build a salt chemical base in Fangcheng. It is said that Yinggehai is also rich in fishery resources, and it is also a good choice to organize a fishing company, and by the way, you can also train sailors. Didn't the Dutch become sea coachmen by fishing? We can't let those bunnies be too idle. ”

Lin Yimin said with a smile. Now that Meihua has the administrative resources to sell salt openly, he can almost see the banknotes flying into Meihua's pocket.

"Now Guangdong is ruled by Chen Jiongming, and we have a good cooperation with him. We still need some means to control the salt industry in Guangdong, so we need you to move around. Lin Yimin reminded with a smile, while whispering in his ear that Situ Meiden was like this.

In order to maintain the operation of the new autonomous government, under the operation of Situ Meideng, the Guangdong Ministry of Finance borrowed 10 million yuan from the Meihua Bank with the salt tax as a guarantee to cope with the reduction of the old army, the abolition of the cut, and the sorting out of the whole body's finances.

In this way, the Meihua Company can naturally sell a large amount of Hainan salt freely in the whole province, and similarly, Guangxi's salt industry has also fallen into the hands of the Meihua Company, and the Meihua Company can make a profit of tens of millions of yuan from the salt industry every year.

This not only consolidated the rule of western Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and other places laid down by the Zhi Gong Party, but also invested in the salt chemical industry, steel and other industries in Fangchenggang to stimulate local economic development. With the increasing consolidation of the regime, the American Chinese Company acquired a large number of laborers, which greatly accelerated the development of Sumatra.

The Zhi Gong Dang also obtained a high-quality military source from Liangguang. Although they were short in stature, the soldiers of Guangxi and Guangxi were hard-working and hard-willed, and were most suitable for fighting in tropical jungles, so after conquering western Guangdong and Guangxi, the Meihua Company recruited a large number of workers, on the one hand, in order to develop Hainan's salt works and iron mines, and build industries such as Fangcheng iron and steel, ports, etc., and at the same time organize worker training, establish reserves, select the strongest, and secretly import them to the Dutch islands in the South Seas in the form of labor, and strive to establish an elite army of 100,000 people in the first war against the Netherlands.

After the Guangdong-Guizhou War, the Zhi Gong Dang established the Nanning Non-commissioned Officer School in Nanning in the name of the Guangxi government, opened the army, navy, air force and other majors, secretly transferred some military talents from Nanyang to Nanning, and at the same time introduced a group of military instructors from Germany to prepare sufficient junior officers for future army expansion.

In short, in order to win the war against the Netherlands, the Zhi Gong Party and the Meihua Company spared no cost to build this Hope School??????

After the success of the Guangdong-Guizhou War, with Chen Jiongming's stay in Guangzhou, monopolizing the financial industry in Guangdong became the top priority of the Meihua Company, and it was also the established strategy of the Meihua Company. After so much hard work, so much effort, now is the time to reap the rewards.

The creation of the autonomous government, the reform of the government, the medical care and education, the construction of the city, the development of industry, and so on, all have to spend money, and for Guangdong's finances, which have been stripped away by the Gui system, they can no longer withstand any exploitation......

If you can't do anything without money, how can you talk about building a model province? How to raise funds has become Chen Jiongming's biggest headache.

Situ Meideng proposed the establishment of a provincial bank, and he proposed a plan for the government to take a stake in the Bank of Guangdong, to make this joint-stock bank public, and to make it the "central bank" of Guangdong, and to control the banking and financial affairs of the whole province.

Chen Jiongming did not object, and before the war, he had already acquiesced to this condition as a condition for the Meihua Company to support his reunification of Guangdong. He has no money now, so he has to rely on the Meihua Company.

In order to avoid suspicion, Chen Jiongming handed the matter to the parliament under the advice of Situ Meideng.

In the face of the "reasonable" demands put forward by the Ministry of Finance, the parliament passed the bill with great efficiency in order to quickly and effectively straighten out Guangdong's finances.

Those who can become parliamentarians are not poor, and they will also profit from the incomplete "publicization" of the Bank of Guangdong.

Stuto Meiden organized the parliamentarians to shout in the front desk, and Lin Yimin was secretly operating, and they operated the controversial 1920 Guangdong Bank incident in the history of Guangdong.

In December 1920, after borrowing 10 million yuan from the Bank of China with a salt tax guarantee, the Guangdong Provincial Government invested 10 million yuan to invest 30% of the shares in the Bank of Guangdong, becoming the largest single shareholder of the Bank of Guangdong.

The government has given many conveniences to the banks of Guangdong, such as issuing currency, managing government taxes, preparing military supplies, issuing government bonds, and so on, and has almost become the "central bank" of Guangdong Province.

The government has no money, and it can't take out 10 million yuan at all, and the so-called 10 million yuan is only stored on the books, which is lent to the Guangdong government by Meihua Company without interest, and the Bank of Guangdong was originally controlled by Meihua Company, which is equivalent to the Guangdong government using a debt of 1,000 yuan to exchange 30% of the shares of the Bank of Guangdong from the Meihua Company.

The total assets of the Bank of Guangdong were originally more than 10 million yuan, and the 30% shares sold by the Meihua Company to the autonomous government were offered at a price of 10 million yuan, and the original shares of more than 3 million yuan were sold to 10 million yuan.

Of course, this is designed by the financial experts of the Meihua Company, and without super financial talent, they can't understand the mystery, and most of the people who know the inside story are also involved in this spoils sharing case, so they naturally won't keep their voices.

However, considering that the government's resources are combined with the financial resources of the Bank of Guangdong, it is normal for the value of the Bank of Guangdong to increase several times.

The government did not pay a penny, and with a debt of 10 million yuan, it obtained a bank with branches in the whole province empty-handed, so as to easily establish a banking system.

But this is what happened, when many people did not react, the capital power of the Meihua Company and the administrative resources of the government colluded to jointly carve up Guangdong's banking and financial industry.

In addition to the government's shareholding, the Bank of Guangdong also issued shares to the public, raised shares to raise funds, and actively purchased them from business tycoons to small people in the market, with a capital of more than 20 million yuan at one time, which greatly enriched Guangdong's finances, which had been dry.

Meihua Company originally held no more than 60% of the shares of the Bank of Guangdong, but after 30% was sold to the government, it sold 10% of the shares, making a direct profit of 3 million yuan, and the remaining 20% was transferred to the newly established Cathay Insurance Company and Yuexiu Investment Company, which were 15% and 5% respectively.

The newly established Cathay Insurance Company understands that Meihua will carry out insurance business in Guangdong.

The Yuexiu Investment Company was the institution of the Meihua Company to help the Guangdong army manage its finances, and it held shares in Guangdong banks and invested in other industries to secretly raise funds for the army. In fact, it is a partnership between Meihua and Yuejun to do business.

This is not visible, the company's business is entrusted by Chen Jiongming to the Meihua Company, and the other major generals of the Guangdong Army know about it, but the specific situation is only known to Chen Jiongming and the Meihua Company. In short, Yuexiu Investment is a bridge between the military and the bank. Indirectly, the Meihua Commodities Company also controls the Cantonese army and the bank.

The army is the guarantee of this qiē, the credit guarantee of the Guangdong Autonomous Government and the Bank of Guangdong, and the guarantee of the investment of the Meihua Company in Guangdong, so it must not be ignored.

On the surface, the Bank of Guangdong has completely separated from the Meihua Company, and the two have no relationship. If these companies are not investigated, no one should find out that Meihua is still manipulating this Guangdong bank.

Although the autonomous government later repurchased shares several times, increased the government's shareholding to 40 percent, and further increased the process of public ownership, for at least 10 or 8 years, the Bank of Guangdong could not get rid of the control of the Meihua Company.

In addition to the addition of government representatives to the bank's board of directors (held by Finance Minister Situ Meiden), the new shareholders of the Bank of Guangdong were Jian Zhaonan of the Nanyang Tobacco Company, Ma Yingbiao of the Sincere Department Store, and Huo Zhiting, the gambling king of Guangdong, all of whom were wealthy businessmen in the Guangdong area, and they also carried the imprint of the Zhi Gong Dang or the Meihua Company behind them.

In addition to the original bank founders Li Yutang, Lu Pengshan, Li Zizhong and others, even if the Meihua Company does not hold a single bank stock, it can also be controlled by a group of Meihua enterprises and firmly grasp the financial lifeline of Guangdong. It can be said that Guangdong's banking and finance have been eaten clean from the inside out.

Moreover, now the Guangdong government still owes 35 million debts to the Meihua Company, (10 million arms, 5 million military spending, 10 million government expenses, and 10 million shares in the Bank of Guangdong), unless Chen Jiongming and his Guangdong army collapse, otherwise this money will not be able to escape, and it will have to be passed on to the people in the end.

"That's the benefit of opportunism. The windfall profits are indescribable. On the one hand, the US-China Company continued to lend money to the autonomous government, and on the other hand, it used arms and other means to take the money lent to the autonomous government into its own hands. ”

Lin Yimin said proudly.

"Alas! I really wonder how future generations will evaluate what we have done today when they know what we are doing? Situ Meiden sighed. Recently, a series of dazzling plans of the Meihua Company have lightly controlled the financial affairs of a province, and the power of capital operation has amazed Situ Meiden.

"What is this? Old man, don't you know that the young master is ruthless enough to eat American money in the United States? Compared to him, we are only a drop in the bucket. ”

Lin Yimin said disapprerovingly, "Now it's better for Guangdong to control zhì in our hands than to let a certain warlord exploit indiscriminately!" At least some of our next series of investments will boost the economy and improve people's living standards. So old man, you should be proud of our actions! ”

"Alright! I can't talk about you young people. It seems that Guangxi is almost like this? Stuart smiled, feeling that he was thinking too much.

Situ Nan knew everything that happened in Liangguang clearly, and he sent a telegram to Lin Yimin: "Very good! However, remember to be cautious, conscientious, and conscientious, and be sure to maintain Guangdong's established strategy, and resolutely nip in the bud any uneasy factors affecting the situation! ”

Situ Meideng strongly asked Chen Jiongming to boycott Sun Wen's return to Guangdong, because he was afraid that this guy would stir up the situation, and if Sun Wen really let Sun Wen control the Guangdong army, he would definitely adopt the method of drying up and fishing to raise military funds for the Northern Expedition.

Therefore, the Meihua Company, which has an interest of tens of millions of yuan in Guangdong, will absolutely not tolerate anyone ruining its own good deeds.

Even if he is a great man, compared with tens of millions of careers, if he cuts off Meihua's wealth, he has to send him peanuts to eat. This is fully reflected in the two presidents of the United States, Lincoln and Kennedy.

Moreover, this is not only a matter of tens of millions of yuan of investment, but also involves the arrangements of the Zhi Gong Party and Situ Nan for the future situation.

After Chen Jiongming returned to Guangzhou, he built a model province in an orderly manner, and urban construction and industrial development began to accelerate. The Meihua Company has controlled the largest bank in Guangdong, and will use bank capital to actively guide the Guangdong Autonomous Government to invest in industry, energy, transportation and other industries, and cultivate a number of leading enterprises in important industries such as steel, transportation, building materials, and energy, so as to quickly realize the industrialization of Guangdong.

For example, Huangpu Shipyard, Nansha Ziqiang Iron and Steel Plant, Foshan Hongxing Cement, Hong Kong's China Power Company, Baiyun Mountain Pharmaceutical Factory, etc., all established their positions in the industry during this period.

Due to the large size of the stalls, Meihua Company (China) became short of funds, so it had to sell the real estate business that had been re-energized, and the shares of Country Garden Company and department stores were sold out, and all the money raised was invested in industry, transportation and other fields.

Fortunately, no matter how the funds flow, as long as it is in the plate of Guangdong, it will never be able to escape the control of the Meihua Company, and it will only stay from one place to another??????

Shanghai Song family. Song Ziwen is getting married, and everyone is getting busy. The women of the Song family were busy. Song Ailing was busy running the antique pawnshop business of Chi Mei Zhai, while her husband Kong Xiangxi made a lot of money acting for Occidental Petroleum Company's petroleum products in the north, and the Kong family's Yuhua Bank expanded a lot, opening a branch from Tianjin to Shanghai. With the growth of capital, this Shanxi businessman became more and more ambitious.

"You see, I personally brought this bracelet from Tianjin, I heard that it was the imperial gift in the palace in the past, and it was the most suitable gift for my younger siblings." Song Ailing handed a jade bracelet that was dripping green to Sheng Aiyi. With the strong rise of Song Ziwen, the Sheng family never interfered in the marriage of the two again.

"Thank you, big sister!" Sheng Aiyi generously accepted the jade bracelet, thought it was good to bring it, and liked it very much.

"What a beautiful bracelet! Sister, I want it too! Song Meiling had just come back from the door, and she was a little coquettish. She knew that now that Song Ailing and Situ Nan are cooperating to open an antique pawnshop business, they may not make too much money, but they get a lot of good things.

"You, you, Zi Wenming is married every day, and you are busy until now to come back? Are newspaper companies that busy? I'm going to marry you off another day. Song Ailing smiled dotingly.

Song Meiling blushed slightly and said with a smile: "It's very busy, some time ago there was war everywhere, and after the north fought in the south, it went to the south again, no, after the battle in Guangzhou, there was another fight in Hainan and Guangxi." Our second brother-in-law was tricked in Guangzhou, and now he is back in Shanghai. When I heard that Chen Jiongming in Guangdong was building a model province, I was thinking about going and seeing if I could invest in the local newspaper publishing industry. ”

"It's time to take a look." Song Ziwen nodded, and before he finished speaking, a familiar figure suddenly came to the door, his second sister Song Qingling came back.

It's been a few years, and it feels a little strange to step into the house again. Looking at the luxurious and magnificent bungalow, Song Qingling felt some emotion in her heart. The family is now busy making money in business and has completely transformed into merchants. Is there still Dad's revolutionary enthusiasm at the beginning? Thinking of his father, Song Qingling's heart was gloomy for a while, as if he was not so reasonable.

Song Er's return was warmly welcomed, but he was a little out of place with the other siblings in other ways.

"Eldest sister, Ziwen, Meiling, now is the lowest ebb of the revolution, Mr. Sun needs help, can't you show enthusiasm?" Song Er asked. Now Song's career has given her the opportunity to ask for help.

The sisters were silent, and after a while, Song Ailing replied, "Okay! But you know, money is also our hard-earned money, and it is not easy for anyone. ”

"On behalf of Mr. Sun, I thank you for your generosity." Song Qingling said with a smile.

"There are two if there is one, and this family seems to be changing!" Song Meiling shook her head a little.

"Is he going back to Guangzhou?" Song Ziwen asked suddenly, staring at Song Er, his expression a little grim.

"Chen Jiongming is ungrateful, betrayed Mr., and should be defeated by him." Song Erdao.

"Don't go! He went to Guangzhou, we can't give this money! Song Ziwen looked at the sisters sternly. Today, as the CEO of China's largest steel company, he has his own momentum.

And as a senior executive of Meihua Company, he knows a lot about the company. Recently, the boss Lin Yimin went to Guangzhou, and Song Ziwen also knew a lot about the Guangdong Bank. Now the Zhi Gong Party is transferring a large amount of resources to Guangdong, clearly wanting to build its own nest.

If someone goes to someone else's house three times or twice to make trouble, you can imagine what the owner's attitude is. Song Ziwen doesn't believe that empty slogans can stop money and force.

Seeing his grim expression, Song Da and Song San seemed to realize something and remained silent.

"Why?" Song Er said unwillingly, feeling that everyone's eyes were a little strange, and they seemed to have retreated.

"Isn't it enough to be embarrassed once?" Song Ziwen shouted, "Who doesn't want to do big things? You have to take it one step at a time, right? Now the situation in Guangzhou is very delicate, and no one wants him to go back, so you advise him not to wade into this troubled water. Otherwise, the Song family would not support him. ”

was drunk by Song Ziwen, Song Er was a little stunned, but she was also a stubborn person, raised her head and looked at Song Ziwen sternly, this somewhat strange brother, slowly spit out: "Why"

"Isn't it simple? Guangdong's set is completely different from his, the two sides were separated before, and now they have laid down their territory and are working construction, he said that he wants to go back, isn't this a trouble? You know, it's not someone who does it! Someone else will too! Chen Jiongming is not Tao Chengzhang! ”

Song Ziwen did not back down and said, "In short, the Song family can't participate in the battle!" ”

Song Ailing and Song Meiling nodded, they were both on Song Ziwen's side.

Song Er returned in a huff.

"Can't you go back to Guangdong? Who has the right not to let me go back? Sun Wen said disdainfully, and after hearing the "Thorn Pottery Case", his face turned red for a while, but he immediately disappeared and made no sound.

Sun Wen thought that now Liangguang was being run like an iron bucket, it was difficult to get in, and all forces were swept away, and there was nowhere to borrow, so he could only pin his hopes on Fujian for the time being. It's just that Fujian Province is poor and weak?????? Alas!

Long. sighed: "Okay, the Song family is not what it used to be, it is no longer the Song family it used to be!" ”
