Chapter 14 Overseas Industries
That night, Wang Yuze and Xiong Menghan stayed in Xiong Wu's villa until the first day of the lantern before leaving. Wang Yuze and Xiong Wu, the son-in-law, talked happily with each other. In today's conversation, Xiong Wu completely changed his method towards Wang Yuze, and no longer regarded him as a dou who couldn't be helped. Such a change made Wang Yuze very happy. Even if he was a young marshal, without Xiong Wu's support, it would be impossible for him to take charge of the Western Sichuan Army.
"Master, weren't you bad at this son-in-law before? But you seem to have a good time chatting with him today! Mrs. Xiong looked at Wang Yuze's departing carriage and said to Xiong Wu with a smile.
"Rumors are harmful!" Xiong Wu sighed. Before, he always thought that Wang Yuze was a person who didn't learn and didn't have skills, and the mud couldn't support the wall, but after a conversation with Wang Yuze today, his perception of Wang Yuze has changed dramatically.
"Master, now that Yu Ze has become our son-in-law, you have to do your best to help him! As long as Yu Ze is well, our daughter can be good! Mrs. Bear said.
"Hmmm! I know! Xiong Wu nodded. He knew what Mrs. Xiong meant, which was nothing more than supporting Wang Yuze's ascension to the throne after Wang Xiao was a hundred years later. Now that Wang Yuze has become his son-in-law, he will do the same.
"What do you know? I've heard that some people have been trying to usurp the throne. Sir, you need to be vigilant! Mrs. Bear said.
"That's it! We are free to arrange these big things, those are just clowns, you don't need to worry about it! Xiong Wu said impatiently. He knows who Mrs. Xiong is talking about, but now there is no definite evidence, and the other party is in a high position, if there is no evidence, it will definitely cause turmoil in the western Sichuan regime! However, as long as the other party really dares to rebel, he will definitely not let them succeed at that time.
The next day, July 20, Wang Yuze accompanied Yang Shilan back to Yang's house. Compared with the Xiong family, the Yang family is a big family. When hundreds of members of the Yang family were waiting for Wang Yuze outside Yang Hua's official residence, he sighed very much. In this era, there is still a great advantage to having a large number of people. It's like their royal family, now there are only two of them, father and son. This made Wang Yuze have to speed up the plan to create people, and he had to work harder for the sake of the Wang family's branches.
Wang Yuze and his wife were at Yang's house and received warm hospitality. For this son-in-law, the Yang family is very satisfied. Yang Hua and Wang Yuze, the two sons-in-law, also had a secret conversation in Yang Hua's study, and as for the content, outsiders have no way of knowing. I only know that when they came out of the study, both of them were smiling and looking very happy.
In fact, in Yang Hua's study, Yang Hua clearly expressed his support for Wang Yuze, and once Wang Yuze was in need, all the resources of the Yang family would be invested in supporting Wang Yuze. Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Wang Yuze also promised Yang Hua that once the Government Council was established, Yang Hua would inevitably be the first candidate for prime minister of the Government Council. This promise made Yang Hua very happy. He knows that in the future political structure, the prime minister is one of the government giants, responsible for handling political affairs, and has very great power. He was already satisfied with being able to get such a position.
July 2 is the day when Wang Yuze accompanies Zhou Rui back to the door. Compared with the coercion at the beginning, the current Zhou Rui seems to have accepted her fate, but she still does not mince words about Wang Yuze. Obviously, it was Wang Yuze who smashed the dream in a girl's heart.
As the president of Xihua Group, Zhou Rongxuan is one of the richest people in the entire western Sichuan. Of course, most of the wealth of Xihua Group belongs to the Wang family. But Zhou Rongxuan's personal wealth can definitely be auctioned in the top 50 in the entire western Sichuan. And, with the continuous development of Xihua Group, his wealth will also increase.
The Zhou family's mansion was very large, no smaller than Yang Hua's governor's residence. In addition, the architecture and style of the mansion are even more gorgeous. It's just that Zhou Rongxuan's family lives overseas most of the time, and usually only returns to China once in a few years, and no one else lives here except for some maids and servants. This time, sending Zhou Rui back to marry Wang Yuze made it lively again.
After Wang Yuze's motorcade arrived at Zhou's house, he was warmly welcomed. Although the Zhou family is rich, the Wang family is richer than them and is still their boss. Although Zhou Rongxuan is his father-in-law, he can't put on a show.
"Father-in-law, thank you for greeting in person, my son-in-law really doesn't dare to be it!" After Wang Yuze got out of the carriage, the people of the Zhou family, who came up immediately, hurriedly said.
"Haha, Yu Ze, we are all a family, where can we get so many false courtesies! Let's get inside! Zhou Rongxuan said enthusiastically.
Wang Yuze met with his mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law again. The eldest brother-in-law, Zhou Yuqian, 24 years old this year, graduated from Harvard Business School in the United States, and has now entered the operation of Xihua Group. The second uncle, Zhou Yukun, is 22 years old this year, just graduated from Yale Law School and is about to join the group.
After entering the Zhou family, Zhou Rui was dragged away by her mother and two sisters-in-law, while Wang Yuze was drinking tea and chatting with Zhou Rongxuan, Zhou Yuqian and Zhou Yukun in the living room. Everyone chatted and chatted, and they talked about the Xihua Group.
Zhou Rongxuan, intentionally or unintentionally, also introduced the general situation of Xihua Group to Wang Yuze, and anyway, Xihua Group will also be Wang Yuze's in the future. In Zhou Rongxuan's introduction, Wang Yuze has a more comprehensive understanding of Xihua Group.
Headquartered in San Francisco, USA, the Xihua Group spans shipbuilding, pharmaceutical, chemical, machinery manufacturing, food, textile and other industries, although it is not listed, but its total assets have reached 500 million US dollars, although it cannot be compared with those ancient families, but it is also a behemoth. You must know that the current fiscal revenue of the United States in 90 years is only more than 400 million US dollars. Even the United Kingdom, the largest power, has less than £100 million in revenue. China's long-cherished rival, Japan, is only 160 million yen. The Qing court only had more than 10 million taels of silver. In contrast, the assets of Xihua Group are definitely a wealth that rivals the wealth of the country. With the support of Xihua Group, Wang Yuze can do a lot of things, which is even more important for the future layout.
"I think that from now on, the main business direction of the group can be shifted to shipbuilding, petrochemical and internal combustion engine manufacturing. This will be the most important force to lead the development of the future! Wang Yuze said.
"Oil? Can that thing be used for anything other than kerosene? Zhou Rongxuan was surprised.
"Research is already underway in Europe on internal combustion engines, and it is expected that a breakthrough will be made soon. When the time comes, the consumption of oil will inevitably begin to increase dramatically. Just like the use of the steam engine, the first industrial revolution broke out, making Britain the world hegemon. The use of electricity and internal combustion engines, then, will lead to the outbreak of the second industrial revolution. As long as we can catch this express train, we in western Sichuan and even China can achieve extremely rapid development! Wang Yuze said.
Zhou Rongxuan's father and son are all well-informed people, they have been abroad all the year round, and they also have some understanding of these. Although I am not completely convinced of what Wang Yuze said, I also think it is very reasonable.
"Father-in-law, we are already far behind compared to the Western powers. If we can take advantage of this opportunity, it will be our chance to catch up with them. Therefore, it is up to you to do this. You have to do everything possible to get the technology to produce the internal combustion engine and get more oil fields. This will provide tremendous energy for our rise! Wang Yuze said sternly. At the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the United States and Germany, with the help of the second industrial revolution, quickly surpassed the old Britain and France.
"Okay, when we return to the United States, we will step up our investment in this area!" Zhou Rongxuan and Wang Yuze said so solemnly, he didn't dare to despise it. Although he didn't think that these were things that Wang Yuze, a little guy who was less than twenty years old, could come up with, he subconsciously thought that this was what the handsome Wang Xiao meant, and Wang Yuze was just a microphone. He deeply felt Wang Xiao's awesomeness, and when he went to the United States, it was under Wang Xiao's guidance that today's development was achieved. Therefore, he is very convinced of Wang Xiao.
