Volume IV Boom 13 Extermination of Bears and Their Analogues

"Well, Kony, you're asking me to take over Hamilton? I was so surprised. ( n)" Situ Nan looked at Vanderbilt with some surprise.

"Yes. I see in you the hope of making her younger. Vanderbilt nodded earnestly.

"Okay!" Situ Nan agreed a little reluctantly, but he smiled in his heart.

Listening to Vanderbilt's tone, the situation of Hamilton Company is not good, but after all, the foundation of the military supplies factory is still there, as long as it survives the transition period of one or two years and shifts from military industry to civilian products, Hamilton Company will shine again.

At least one stylish watch is also a status symbol for the large middle class in the United States that will catch up with fashion trends in the future.

Both men and women need a watch that is delicate or generous, especially in this era without mobile phones, and the concept of time in the hearts of the people has to be reflected by this accurate and reliable Hamilton timer, whether you are rushing to work for a date or sailing the sky and ocean.

After a while, Arwen came in, followed by two waiters, who walked in with two large plates, and the air was filled with an indescribable fragrance.

"It smells so good!" Vanderbilt's nose shrugged, and his eyes lit up as he stared at the plate.

"Young master, it's okay, one steamed and one braised red." Ah Wen smiled, and while opening the lid, the bear paws presented in front of Situ Nan were golden and slightly white.

Situ Nan tasted it, it was soft and smooth, fat but not greasy, melted in the mouth, and a little sweet.

"The craftsmanship is good! Looks like I'm going to have to give you an extra chef's salary. Situ Nan thought, opened his index finger wide, and tried a plate of braised bear paws again.

"Crispy, good craftsmanship! If you add a sweet and sour carp, it will be even better, the fish and the bear's paw will be the best. Situ Nan shook his head, a little intoxicated.

"Is this a bear's paw?" Seeing Situ Nan's intoxicated appearance, Vanderbilt swallowed hard, he had tasted a lot of good things, but he didn't expect that the worthless bear paw in his impression would be made into such a delicacy by that ordinary China.

"Kony, it is said that this is a delicacy that only Chinese emperors can enjoy in the past, why don't you try it too?" Situ Nan looked at Vanderbilt with a smile.

"Okay!" Vanderbilt nodded, picked up the knife, and decisively split it in half.

"It's amazing." Vanderbilt mumbled as he ate. Maybe you think the table knife is too much of a hindrance, so you just grab the bear paw and send it to your mouth.

"This gluttony!" Situ Nan scolded in his heart, took a sip of red wine, had indescribable enjoyment, and quickly ate the rest of it.

After eating and wiping, Vanderbilt left satisfied, and Situ Nanshi leaned back on the sofa, looking at Erlang's legs, still reminiscing about the fragrance of bear's paws in his heart. Greedily not enough, he instructed Ah Wen beside him: "The remaining two will leave one for me to make supper at night." ”

This time the island really didn't come in vain, I tasted the bear's paws, and I actually got the Hamilton company, it seems that there is really no way to have a good character.

Situ Nanmei thought. Thinking that I was going to leave Jekir Island tomorrow, I actually felt a little nostalgic in my heart???????

"Tianming, now that Nevada has been taken down by me, now you can order your people to pass. Yes, I bought the whole of Las Vegas, and you brought people over to do the formalities, and you moved all the black families in California to Nevada. After Situ Nan returned to the mainland, he called Chen Tianming, who was far away in San Francisco.

"By the way, remember to send someone to learn how to take care of the casino, yes, that's right, it's to open a casino, in short, you can gamble on any tricks to make money. There is not enough manpower to be transferred from Hong Kong and Guangzhou, where there are many talents in this area. ”

Putting down the phone, Situ Nan breathed a long sigh of relief. In his previous life, didn't even Singapore, a self-proclaimed civilized country, want to open a casino?

Investing in industry gives people a sense of achievement, and it is good to run such a capitalless business to make money quickly, in short, you can make money.

At this time, it was thousands of miles away in Guangzhou.

In the busy Meihua Road, Guangdong Silver Company looks a little deserted tonight. Huo Zhiting sat in the light, holding his cheeks with one hand, his brows furrowed, as if he was facing a difficult choice.

Recently, the Guangzhou government's ban on gambling has become more and more stringent, and someone has just come to inform Huo Zhiting that this time the bigwig Chen Jiongming is determined to ban gambling, so the prosperous Guangdong Silver Medal Company is about to close down.

According to Fok Zhiting's partner Meihua Company, he has two choices: either to change careers to regular business or to go elsewhere.

"Since this big guy Chen Jiongming came back, the market is getting better and better day by day, but my business here is getting worse day by day. It's a real headache. Huo Zhiting sighed, "It seems that the sky is about to change." ”

"Big brother, are you really going to end this casino business?" Wu Xiangheng asked. He is the financial manager of the silver company and is actually in charge of the casino's finances.

"Don't you go? Can you reason with those big-headed soldiers? Huo Zhiting asked rhetorically. He was not in a good mood, seeing that this Meihua Road had just been prosperous for two years, and it was when the business was good, and the Yue army came back. After a year of delay, I finally took the casino eye. It's just that these people are very capable of fighting, and they have cleaned up all the warlords around them, and now the government wants to rectify the social atmosphere, and it seems that there are no other big smokers who can stop it.

"Why don't you go to Shanghai or Hong Kong? Did we start all over again? Wu Xiangheng said.

"It's not that easy." Huo Zhiting shook his head, "Someone showed me a way out, you give me a staff officer." ”

"Who?"

"Big guy Chen Jiongming!" Huo Zhiting Road.

A few days ago, he had prepared a military quartermaster for Chen Jiongming, and he thought that this time the old backer would come back, so that he could have a good time, who knew that Chen Jiongming was going to ban gambling.

He said it was imperative to ban gambling. He also advised me to end the side business and start a business. If you don't want to, introduce me to a new path. ”

"What's new?"

"Go overseas, open a bet!" Huo Zhiting Road.

"What?"

"That's right, Meihua Company has a casino business in the United States, and I am looking for an experienced person to take care of it, so Chen Jiongming recommended me to cooperate with Meihua Company."

Huo Zhiting explained, a little hesitant in his heart, "That Meihua Company is really terrible, it is said that Chen Jiongming is the one they supported to come back." They have bought large tracts of land in the United States and are building new casinos. Do you think I should go? ”

Huo Zhiting felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous at first, but after thinking about it, it shouldn't be a prank.

"Meihua Company? It's them! These people are incomprehensible, especially tough, as if they are following the Americans, and even the British and Japanese are not afraid. However, if you want to ask your eldest brother to go to a place thousands of miles away to make a casino, then you are not familiar with the place, and it is not them who have the final say, is there any conspiracy here? Wu Xiangheng said with a frown.

"It's not, people don't look down on my two little money. Sue you, people open banks, open ships, run large companies, and pull a hair thicker than us, so they don't worry about our little money. Huo Zhiting explained that he knew a lot of things about Meihua Company, and if he wanted to say that there were many ways to seize his family property, he would not be so troublesome.

"People say that there is a piece of land as big as Guangzhou in the United States, and there are not many people now, but in the future, when a casino is built, there will definitely be many people. British, Italians, blacks, Russians, everything.

Gamblers are also gamblers all over the United States, and they take care of other aspects of security, we just need to manage the casino, well, and now we have built the casino by the way. In addition, we have 10% of the shares, and if you invest more money, you can own no more than 30% of the shares. I thought that this should be true, but I was afraid that I would not be able to do it. Huo Zhiting said.

"If you don't get a penny, you can take shares, and you don't have to be responsible for other things. Big brother, why don't we try it? Wu Xiangheng was a little moved.

"Anyway, the business here in Guangzhou can't be done, or let's save the money first, and then go abroad to see it." Even if it doesn't work, you should spend money to go out and play. Damn, I've often heard people say that the cities and factories in the United States are much better than ours, so I'm going to see if it's true this time. ”

"Alright! With a few reliable brothers, let's go out to the sea. If it happens, it can be regarded as a way out for the brothers, if not, come back and find another way! Huo Zhiting made up his mind.

"The big guy is definitely going to take some people to make a knife this time, so it's better to go out and avoid it." Wu Xiangheng nodded.

After coming out of the silver company, Huo Zhiting drove to the city government, and came to Chen Jiongming after a while.

"Got it?" Chen Jiongming asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Huo Zhiting Road.

"Alright! I wanted you to do something serious, but since you insist on taking this path, I can't help it. Before leaving, I will give you some advice, I will not let you suffer if I follow them well, they are really wealthy, bigger than me! Chen Jiongming shook his head.

After a year of stabilizing his rule in Guangzhou, he recently interrupted the rectification of social order, and pornography, gambling and drugs became an important target of the government's rectification.

"Bigger than you?" Huo Zhiting looked at Chen Jiongming with some surprise, this Southern Heavenly King with a heavy army in his hands was too modest, right?

"Alas. There are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky! You'll understand it if you see it a little more. Chen Jiongming sighed.

Now Guangdong is getting better day by day under his rule, and urban construction and industrial zone construction are in full swing, but Chen Jiongming, who knows the inside story, is not as superficial as ordinary people outside - this money is all from Meihua Company! There are rich people and people, and it is very cool to do things, but didn't Guangdong's economy and finance also fall into the hands of the Meihua Company and the Zhi Gong Party?

Chen Jiongming also remembered now that he had joined the Zhi Gong Party, and as he knew more about the inside story, the more he sighed, and even felt a little surprised that he couldn't speak. However, he was relieved that his long-awaited inter-provincial autonomy was slowly showing results.

Huo Zhiting left, left Guangzhou, and never returned. The fate of this famous gambling king in history has completely gone to another fork in the road. In the vast Nevada desert, there is not only a sky of sand, but also a vast prospect waiting for him.

"People are gone?" Situ Meiden asked with a smile.

"Gone." Chen Jiongming said.

"Oh. Let's get started! It's been a year of delaying you, and it's time to clean up those guys. Situ Meiden smiled confidently. This was at a meeting of the Chinese branch of the Zhi Gong Party, in addition to the provincial finance minister Situ Meiden, the provincial governor and commander Chen Jiongming, there were also Minister of Justice Wu Chaoshu and Guangzhou garrison commander Deng Keng.

"This is the report of the Investigation Directorate of the Ministry of Justice. The major cigarette merchants, gangs, and officials and police who colluded with him are all sorted out one by one, and they can be arrested as long as they give an order. Wu Chaoshu said with a smile. The constitution of Guangdong Province is now run by the Wu family, father and son, and a group of legal scholars, and he also obtained an intelligence team from the Guangzhou intelligence station of the Zhi Gong Party, which has now been expanded into an investigation bureau.

After seizing power in Guangzhou, Chen Jiongming joined the Zhi Gong Party. With the support of the Nanyang Headquarters, a number of military academies, police academies, political schools, financial schools, technical schools, medical schools and a large number of other educational institutions were built one after another, and these seeds were used to transform the original ruling system in the future.

"How could he be involved?" Chen Jiongming opened the report of the Investigation Bureau and frowned. Because his nephew had a special relationship with the tobacco merchants.

"I'll take care of him myself." Chen Jiongming said resolutely. "Don't let go of the rest, try to catch them all."

In the following two consecutive province-wide crackdowns, a large number of tobacco houses, gambling houses, and brothels in Guangdong were wiped out, and some vicious criminals ate peanuts, while most of the restaurant owners were arrested and sent to labor camps, and they were not spared until they paid a large sum of bail.

"What a harvest! Race to Deposit! How many people's fat and ointment have these guys embezzled, and how many hurtful things have they done. Situ Meiden smiled as he took the list he had just sorted out.

The crackdown was very effective, not only sweeping away all kinds of tobacco houses and gambling halls and purifying the social atmosphere, but also obtaining an income of 20 million yuan and opium worth more than 15 million yuan.

"Okay." Chen Jiongming's heart was overjoyed, and even the depression caused by his nephew who was personally sent to prison was swept away.

After discussion, the mothballed casinos and tobacco houses were auctioned, and 15 million opium was transferred to the Meihua Company at a low price, in exchange for an arsenal of the same value, an army hospital, and a large number of medical supplies such as morphine, sulfonamides, and white medicine.

"Huh. With this batch of things, you can also block those guys in the army. Deng Keng smiled. He was the commander of this operation, so the cigarette merchants and gangs in Guangdong hated him to death.

"10 million yuan to invest in education, see the construction of a middle school in each county of the province, the construction of five primary schools in each town, and strive to complete within three years. 3 million yuan for municipal transportation construction, 2 million yuan for the construction of an army military academy on Huangpu Island, 1 million yuan for medical and health construction, 1 million yuan for the establishment of a military disability foundation, 500,000 yuan for the establishment of a police academy, 500,000 yuan for rewarding meritorious units, and finally 2 million yuan into the Bank of Guangdong for emergency funds. ”

Situ Meiden read the list and immediately decided where to go for the 20 million yuan.

"Isn't it a bit too much to spend 10 million yuan to build a school?" Chen Jiongming was a little surprised by Situ Meiden's generosity in education.

"On the contrary, I don't think it's enough. Our business is very large, we need a large number of talents, this 10 million scattered to the whole province, but also can be spread out, the future also needs a lot of capital investment. Stuart said.

"I can't talk about you." Chen Jiongming shook his head, feeling a little pity in his heart. However, the interests of the army have been taken into account before, and it is difficult to say anything.

"There is also good news that the United States is very happy when it learns the results of our operation and intends to reward us with $10 million." Situ Meiden laughed.

"Really?" Chen Jiongming stood up in surprise. He secretly calculated in his heart, what a big sum, 10 million US dollars is almost more than 26 million silver dollars, which is almost the same as the harvest of this "fat sheep" operation.

"Don't be happy just yet. This is not cash, but machinery and equipment, which are used for the construction of steel mills and arsenals, explosives factories and other mining equipment, which are obsolete goods from American factories, but they are all advanced things for us. Stuart explained. When he just received the order, he scolded Situ Nan for being stingy and stuffed a pile of garbage.

"That's not bad. Didn't the Americans rely on the weapons and ammunition produced by these machines to exhaust the Germans? We have a good appetite and are not picky eaters. ”

Deng Keng said with a smile, "When our military academy is completed, we have strictly trained officers, and we have our own weapons, so ?????? There's really nothing more to say. ”

"Well said." Chen Jiongming said with a smile.

"By the way, speaking of the military academy, there is something to say, I will recruit some Germans to come over, after all, they can fight!" Stuart added.

"Nice idea!" Everyone nodded.

1921 was an ordinary and unusual year, in Guangdong, the Zhi Gong Party headed by Chen Jiongming waved the banner of inter-provincial autonomy, began to build industry and develop education throughout the province, and gradually developed into a small but powerful force.

Similarly, the Guangxi military government headed by Li Zongren also embarked on the same path, and with the vigorous investment of the Meihua Company, Fangchenggang was not only built into a deep-water port capable of berthing 10,000-ton ships, but also imported iron ore from Huanhai Island and coal mines from Annam into Guangxi in a steady stream, and a steel plant with an annual output of 50 tons was built after three years.

At the same time, there are also salt resources transported from Hainan salt farms, which also contributed to the transformation of Fangchenggang into a salt chemical base in South China. One qiē and one qiē are all enviable. In the disturbed southern border of the Republic of China, there are a group of such people who are paying silently.

In July, a rumbling explosion on the Shanghai Tang side made history even more unadorned. An ordinary house on Wangzhi Road in the French Concession was blown to pieces by a huge amount of explosives, and all the people holding the meeting inside were killed. There are also many innocent pedestrians, but no one cares too much about their lives or deaths.

At this time, it became a headless public case, which was a heavy blow to some people. After the explosion, the ground was full of desolation, and "Ta Kung Pao" commented that the terrorist bombing on Wall Street in the United States made people see the red terror, and the Shanghai that happened thousands of miles away also made people reflect. It's a time to see.

"It's all blown up?" At night, a beautiful woman in Paris held a baby with a gentle and kind face, but the message in the words made people shudder.

"It's flat. Not a single one left! Now the Russians say it was the Russians. Hehe. ”

"Aren't they Russians? It's true, keep in mind. Beauty's face trembled, and there was indescribable sternness.
