After Lin Yimin left, Kong Xiangxi and his wife fell into deep thought. They were moved by the future described by Lin Yimin, and they were reluctant to start a career in China.

"Wife, do you think we should also go to the South Seas?" Kong Xiangxi asked Song Ailing.

Song Ailing is assertive and extraordinary, and it is rare to be able to help from a virtuous person, and the major affairs of the family are inseparable from this woman.

She pondered for a while, raised her head, looked at Kong Xiangxi's round face, saw a sense of ambition in her husband's eyes, and said in her heart: Although her man usually looks sleek, he still has some ambitions in his heart.

"Last time you went to Medan with Ziwen, how did you feel about the situation there? Is it really as good as Lin Yimin said? Song Ailing asked. She wanted to know more about Nanhua.

"Medan is developing very well, it is really good, and it is even more prosperous than Tianjin. The Meihua Company has built many factories in the area, and there are advanced industries such as steel, oil, and aircraft, which are more vibrant than any other city in China, which may be the reason why they defeated the Dutch.

Ziwen also told me that Medan still hides a lot of things, and even he doesn't know how many secrets Meihua is hiding in Nanyang.

I was stunned, just like when we were in the United States, we saw cities with rapid industrial growth. The whole city is Chinese, and they speak your Cantonese there, which I don't understand.

It's really hard to believe that there is an advanced city dominated by Chinese people overseas. It only took them ten years to create a big business, which is bold. Gee! ”

Kong Xiangxi said excitedly.

"It's not easy for Nanhua to beat the Dutch, and the strength of the Dutch should not be underestimated. Now that more than 1.4 million square kilometers of land have been laid, and now that Nanhua is desperately recruiting workers in the country, the development of Nanhua is estimated to be faster, right? Husband, what do you think will happen to Nanhua in ten years? ”

Song Ailing was also a little excited, and saw huge benefits from it.

"It's hard to say. If the political situation is peaceful, within ten years, millions of immigrants from the country will be sent from the country, and the foundation of South China's rule will be solid. Another ten years. It is estimated that the national strength will also develop to a good stage, at least it will be a very important force in Nanyang. There may also be twists and turns, after all, those indigenous people are still the majority, and it is not easy for Nanhua to subdue them. ”

Kong Xiangxi analyzed.

"That's right. The Dutch have been in the South Seas for hundreds of years, and since they can defeat the Dutch, they will not be worse than the Dutch. ”

Song Ailing said.

It seems that there is some optimism about the future of Nanhua, the Song family has a good relationship with overseas Chinese, and now both the Song family and the Kong family have benefited from it. Emotionally, it can't help but be a little biased.

"Hmm. You must go, at least you have to see it, and as for other things, we will talk about it later. What do you think? My wife. ”

Kong Xiangxi said with a smile.

He was reluctant to give up this opportunity, and after receiving Lin Yimin's invitation. He already had the answer in his heart. However, he was always cautious and did not rush to make a final decision.

"Hmm. I'm sure you can do it. Song Ailing nodded and encouraged. This woman has always been decisive in killing, and she will never stop what she recognizes.

Both husband and wife are highly educated, having studied at top universities in the United States, and their horizons are broad. They will not prefer to be conservative like ordinary people, and now is the time when their careers have not been started for long, and their strength is far from reaching the level of power that they later have in the world.

Beijing and Tianjin are the forces of Beiyang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangxi in the south are self-contained, Lao Sun was squeezed out, and Jiang Jiang did not want to return to China in his lifetime. His brother Chen Guofu is still working in Shanghai to help people pay off debts, and there should be no more so-called four major families like history in the Republic of China. On the contrary, the Song family got up early, lived a more nourishing life, and even the Confucian family developed well, but like history, the military, government and finance colluded with each other, and the chances were very slim.

Although the development speed of the Kong family in Beijing and Tianjin is good, there is still a long way to go from Kong Xiangxi's ambitions. And it seems for now. The domestic situation has no sign of making Kong Xiangxi soar into the sky.

If there is no good opportunity, even if Kong Xiangxi climbs Yan Xishan, it will be difficult to stand out under the cover of the Beiyang warlords.

"I heard that Huang Zhonghan, the big boss of the oil company, is a high-ranking official in Nanhua and is very powerful?" Song Ailing asked.

She is very concerned about this, if her husband can be appreciated by the top management of Nanhua, his future achievements will definitely not be limited to business. After sleeping with Kong Xiangxi for so many years, she naturally knows that this eight-sided man is more suitable for mixing officials, but now she just doesn't have a chance.

"Minister of Communications, one of the most powerful people in South China. was originally a rich man with countless industries, but now it may be even more out of control. I heard that he presided over the railway project in South China. ”

Speaking of this, Mr. Kong looked envious.

"Who said that?"

"Ziwen!"

"Oh! That should be fine. ”

Song Ailing nodded. Now the brothers and sisters of the Song family almost have their own careers, and when their mother can only eat fast and recite Buddha, Song Ailing, the eldest sister, has significantly reduced her control over the younger siblings below.

She didn't say one idea, that is, Kong Xiangxi was very pleased with the achievements of his younger brother Song Ziwen. Kong Xiangxi is a very proud person, and now his achievements are not as good as those of his stunned brother-in-law, and he secretly holds his breath in his heart. Of course, this is only faintly felt by Song Ailing, who is next to the pillow.

"It's a big deal, and we'd better ask Ziwen's opinion, he knows more about the situation there." Song Ai Ling built yì road.

"It's good!" Kong Xiangxi happily accepted his wife's construction, he looked at his white and tender wife, stroked it, and teased, "I really went to Nanyang in the future, madam, you are going to tan." However, black has a black charm. ”

"you, dead ghost! Have you ever seen the British in Singapore turn black? Song Ailing glanced at her husband, this rare coquettishness without a tiger made Kong Xiangxi's heart tremble, and his heart was crisp.

After receiving a telegram from Kong Xiangxi from Tianjin, Song Ziwen immediately replied and asked them to go to Shanghai for a detailed discussion??????

"Not long ago, I came into contact with an old man who came to the door by himself. Now I'm going to visit the real old man again, it seems that Nanhua is really short of money! ”

Lin Yimin sighed in his heart.

Even the young master has made a move, and he has to attract investment in the country by himself, which shows how huge the scale of Nanhua's construction is.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be excited.

"Mr. Lin, please inside! Our prince will come out soon. A man dressed in a melon skin hat and horse coat with a whip on the back of his head invited Lin Yimin into an elegant and graceful room, it seemed that the man was a high-ranking family, but the strong servile smell on his body made Lin Yimin frown slightly.

From the moment he came in, he found that the people here behaved similarly to the previous dynasty, which almost made him think that it was not the Republic of China now.

"Hmm." Lin Yimin replied casually. He sat down with a blank face. Picked up the delicate teacup and took a sip of the fine Longjing tea, in a good mood.

Looking at the room layout, there are both antique furniture and fashionable foreign imported electrical appliances, especially the golden loudspeaker of the gramophone, which makes Lin Yimin's eyes shine.

Xindao: It seems that this guy should be an enlightened Westernized person, and he doesn't want to see those warlords and rich people. They are keen on big dramas, and they squeak and invite the team to their homes, and they have to sing for three or five days.

"Mr. Lin, I'm glad to meet you." A man in his thirties with a rich face walked in, with a long whip dragging behind his head. It's thick and bright, and it is estimated that it usually takes a lot of effort to maintain, otherwise it won't even look like the whip has a richer temperament than others.

He is the regent of the previous dynasty, and the biological father of the last emperor Fu Yi, Aixin Jueluo? Zaifeng, a real nobleman. The innate wealth is incomparable to others.

I heard that it was because he was incompetent and easier to control, so he was given power by the Empress Dowager Cixi?

Lin Yimin thought to himself.

What really made Zaifeng rise and was appreciated should be the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and the good-faced German Kaiser Wilhelm asked the Qing court to send the imperial family to Berlin to apologize.

At that time, the other royal families were all running uneasy, for fear that this little life-threatening figure would fall into their heads. In the end, Zaifeng went.

His appearance was remarkable, and he won the admiration of the German emperor for his humility and arrogance. Zaifeng's successful diplomatic mission, in a group of mediocre royal families, was valued by Cixi, and was reused.

Zaifeng was no match for Yuan Shikai and was considered a fool, but he won a lot of praise for his tolerance and open-mindedness.

What is rare is that he can see openly. You don't have to go to the back of the court, and you can go home happily to be a rich idler.

Maybe it's because I've seen through this country!

Lin Yimin thought to himself.

Twenty years ago, could a small person deal with an emperor-like figure?

He hesitated for a moment, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Hello, Mr. Aixin Jueluo." I took the liberty to visit and disturbed it. ”

"Mr. Aixin Jueluo?" Zaifeng was stunned for a moment, nodded again, looked at Lin Yimin, who was foreign, and felt that this young man had a new style, crisp and neat, not dragging mud and water, neither humble nor arrogant, and no respectful and humble style.

Zaifeng also knows a lot about this Lin Yimin, and knows that this person is very open-minded and has a close relationship with foreigners, so it seems that he is still from those Chinese in Nanyang?

What will he do if he suddenly appears at home today?

Zaifeng thought to himself.

Although he personally has a Westernized style and is considered an enlightened figure in a pile of decadent relics, he does not have a good impression of overseas Chinese, or more precisely, he has a cold attitude.

Maybe subconsciously still thinks that those are "abandoned people" and "chaotic people", and these people also contributed to the collapse of the imperial court.

However, now that it's all over, he, the former prominent magnate, can't compare to these powerful guys.

Zaifeng sighed lightly in his heart, adjusted his mentality, his calm and wise eyes fell on Lin Yimin's face, and he smiled slightly: "I don't know what Mr. Lin has to say?" ”

"I can't talk about teaching, it's just a little Jianyì." Lin Yimin said seriously.

"Please!" Zaifeng was a little curious, looking at Lin Yimin's eyes with some amusement, wanting to hear the thoughts of this young man who was not polite at all.

"I'm here to borrow money from you!"

"Oh?" Zaifeng's face was pale, and his eyes were a little stern. There are many interpretations of the word borrowed money, could it be that this guy wants to threaten himself?

However, he was still patient and asked casually, "How much?" ”

"Ten million is not much, preferably thirty or fifty million." Lin Yimin was ashamed.

"Huh?" Zaifeng was stunned. Looking at Lin Yimin's expression of not wanting to fake, he really wanted to slap it. Originally, he expected that if he borrowed 350,000 yuan, he would give it to him directly, and 350,000 yuan would be considered.

Now this guy actually asks for 10 million? Zaifeng can't be calm. If he hadn't known that the other party was not small, he would have thought that this guy was crazy!

"It's not funny!" Zaifeng stared at Lin Yimin sternly, with a sense of oppression in his eyes.

Lin Yimin nodded secretly, after all, he was a person who had been an "emperor", and he really had a little momentum on him.

He smiled slightly, met Zaifeng's gaze and said, "Listen to me." At this point today, it is not for money and death, it is just an interesting way to say that borrowing money.

Of course, if you can lend me a loan, I am happy and happy to pay the interest that satisfies you. ”

"Let's get straight to it!" Zaifeng said, and said in his heart: This guy originally came for money.

"Okay. What I really want to say is that I hope you will invest in Nanhua. There's a lot of construction there, and the opportunity is good. I don't mean anything, I just want to have a good time working with each other. ”

Lin Yimin closed his hands, crossed his fingers, and looked at Zaifeng with a frank face.

Seeing that his face was slightly pale, he continued to explain: "You may have heard of it too. South China has built a large territory, and it is impossible to digest these lands without a lot of money. We've got some money in place, but we just want to find more investment, the more the better. If you have money, you can make it!

Not only you, but also other people I have recommended them to invest in Nanhua, and I have also found Cao Kun and General Wu Peifu.

In fact, you don't have to worry that I will lie to you, the United States and China are so big, and South China is a country. Can you go around scamming money? Our principle is to recognize only money, not people. As long as you have money, even if the enemy who killed your father wants to invest, we welcome it. ”

After Lin Yimin finished speaking, he took out another document that listed several major investment projects in Nanhua, including railways, iron and steel, and minerals. land, etc., as well as a brief introduction to Nanhua's industrialization plan.

This Zaifeng is really a rich man, according to the estimates of Meihua Company, his net worth is at least thirty or forty million. Among them, there are more than 10 million deposits and a large amount of treasures in HSBC, and more than 1 million deposits in the United States and China Company, and deposits in other foreign banks will not be less than one million.

Zaifeng has a large number of properties and shops in the Tianjin Concession, and the mansion he lives in is worth no less than 10 million. If you count the hidden fields and other treasures, all of them add up, the estimate of thirty or forty million is already very conservative, and it can definitely be described as a rich country. At least the Beiyang government does not have as much money as him.

Zaifeng picked up the investment plan handed over by Lin Yimin, read it with relish, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, many of the measures in it were similar to the new policies he carried out in the late Qing Dynasty when he was regent, but Nanhua's determination was mostly large, and there was no historical baggage, so he could plan calmly.

Looking at this Lin Yimin's businessman's style, you can know that those people in Nanhua may be like him said, who only recognize money and not people.

Zaifeng put down the investment plan, was noncommittal, glanced at Lin Yimin, pondered for a while, and asked, "Is the publicity and financing still smooth?" ”

"Ok! Many people are interested, and they are ready to send people to investigate, and Meihua Company has made arrangements for them throughout the process. I'm sure they'll make a wise choice. ”

Lin Yimin said confidently.

"In the previous dynasty, the Wu family in Guangzhou was forced by the government and the family was ruined, but they still transferred some assets to the United States, just in time for the industrial construction in the United States, and their investment was rewarded handsomely. Mr. Aixin Jueluo, why don't you leave yourself a way back? ”

Lin Yimin said with a smile.

These words went to Zaifeng's heart, Xinhai was like that, the power of the Beijing government overlapped peacefully, and the Manchu Emperor took the initiative to abdicate, Zaifeng was credited. After his abdication, he did not interfere in politics, and was at ease to be a rich idler in the Tianjin Concession, without quarrel with the world, and generally speaking, no one came to make things difficult for him again.

But that's just a general situation, what if one day the government wants to do something to him? The concession is a good shelter, but what Lin Yimin said seems to have some truth, and it is not bad to make one more choice, it seems that the investment prospects of Nanhua are really good, and it is worth a try.

Thinking of this, Zaifeng looked abrupt and asked, "I invested my money in Nanhua, what if Nanhua cheats me?" ”

"It depends on how much you invest. One hundred and eighty thousand, we can't look at it. More than a million, we will pay a little attention. More than 10 million, we will consider it. If it exceeds 100 million, congratulations, we will list you as a key protection object and treat you as our partner. ”

Lin Yimin said confidently, sneering in his heart: This Zaifeng can't help but think that Nanhua's reputation is too cheap, right?

However, he didn't want to say too stiffly, and smiled again: "Trust is built on long-term cooperation, and it takes time to accumulate. Your concern, I understand. So I advise you, first send someone to investigate, and then start with a small investment, test the water, and then determine whether you want to make a really big investment in the future. ”

"I'll think about it."

Zaifeng nodded, feeling that Lin Yimin's words were quite sincere, and his gaze did not look like a fake. It is reasonable, it is about practical interests, and there are no empty and beautiful promises.

"That bothered. This is my business card, if necessary, I can contact Mr. Kadoorie, Commercial Counsellor of the South China Embassy. ”

After speaking, Lin Yimin got up and left.

"What a strange person, a bunch of people!" Zaifeng heard the sound of the car at the door and knew that the other party had left.

"Zhang Tielin, do you think this matter is reliable?" Zaifeng summoned the senior minions of the family and asked.

"Lord Wang, they have recently found a lot of rich and noble families, the real estate in Nanyang is indeed very cheap, and some minions in the capital who can't survive are having the heart to go south."

Zhang Tielin sneered.

"In this way, I didn't expect the flag man to go to the South Seas too? It's really-" Zaifeng's face darkened, he groaned for a moment, and ordered: "In this way, you go to the account office to pay 100,000 oceans, take a trip to the South Seas, buy a farm to test the water, and see if it is as good as he said?" ”

"Huh!" Zhang Tielin bowed down.

(Yesterday I wrote chapter 135 and uploaded it to the backend, but I forgot to publish it again, angry.) Full attendance is so hard. ）
