Whether it is South China or South China, it seems that the poor and crazy Zhi Gong Party government has borrowed a lot of money, and then smashed countless dollars, pounds, and francs into various proposed engineering projects, turning them into sections of railways, blast furnaces, bridges, and shipyards.

They hardly thought that if they could not pay off their heavy debts, the fruits of construction in the future would fall into the hands of foreigners, so New York, London, and Paris all opened their pockets and lent money to the Chinese, and they had already calculated how to seize the fruits of the Chinese's hard work.

Even if China were able to pay off its debts, they would be able to make a lot of profit from it, and in short, invest in the hottest regions of the world, and capital will snowball.

In the Shanghai Public Concession, China's largest securities trading center, the Meihua Stock Exchange, brokers in red vests are busy, quoting the prices of various stocks and bonds from time to time, and their fingers are rapidly calculating on the calculator, and there is a clicking sound from their fingertips.

Railways, steel, ships, gasoline, rubber, tung oil...... These words rang out in the trading floor, and they were all stars in the trading market.

In the midst of a busy figure, there is a tall young man with a leisurely expression, observing the fast-rolling capital market in front of him with great interest. He has a heroic spirit in him, which seems to be different from the conscientious financial elite around him.

"Huh? And our Northeast soybeans! ”

The young man looked at the quotation form on the wall and said in a small surprise.

"This year's soybean harvest is not good, the output has decreased, the purchase price has risen, and local soybean products companies have increased the ex-factory price of their products. Last month, there was a soybean futures speculation, and the result was careless. Jumped the Huangpu River. ”

A foreigner next to him interjected with a smile. He was dressed in a modest suit. The same young face has its own high-ranking momentum, and walking in the exchange is like being in your own home.

He is little Kadoorie, one of the giants of the Meihua Company, no, he is accompanying his good friend Zhang Xueliang, the young marshal of Northeast China, to visit the financial trading market in Shanghai.

"However, if you and I join forces, there will definitely be a profit or a loss!" Little Kadoorie added, looking at Zhang Xueliang with a smile.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhang Xueliang smiled. If you don't do it, he doesn't understand financial transactions, and he doesn't want to refuse the other party.

Xindao: China's soybean is mainly produced in the northeast, and in my own territory, I am not afraid of others deceiving me. If you are looking for someone to work with, the guy in front of you is indeed a good choice.

It's just that the other party is a person from the United States and China, and in the past two years, the southern region has been booming, at least in the northeast, there is no such lively trading market, and there is no courage to start a series of railway projects like the Wuhan government.

"Young Marshal, the hottest thing in Shanghai now is the railway. The most valuable investment, you may want to consider it. Little Kadoorie enthusiastically sold. I don't want to let go of the big benefactor in front of him, and his enthusiastic appearance is like selling arms to Chinese warlords in the past.

"Wuhan is building so many railways in one go, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to bear it?" Zhang Xueliang wondered, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

In terms of financial resources, the southern regime is much wider than his old Zhang Jiakuo, and the Zhi Gong Party has greatly developed industries and uses armaments for its own use, and even the Northeast Army has to purchase weapons and equipment from the south, and in terms of momentum, it has been overpowered by the other side.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xueliang just arrived with a sense of urgency, although he didn't want to invest his funds in the Southern Railway, he still pretended to be emotionally interested and listened to Xiao Kadoorie's introduction to the railway market.

At this time, there was a sudden shout outside the door, and a man who rushed in with a newspaper excitedly shouted: "The Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway has been completed, and the section from Hangzhou to Nanchang will be opened to traffic soon!" ”

There was a commotion on the spot, and the news in front of me suddenly captured the hearts of those investors, and of course, some people doubted it.

"Wow?"

"Really?"

"What's the fake? Ta Kung Pao reported! Definitely not street gossip. ”

"Didn't you say some time ago that you were going to build a 1-kilometer-long tunnel, and the progress of the project was blocked?"

"Your news is lagging behind, people imported large punching machines from the United States, and also transferred a professional engineering team from the Sichuan-Hanzhou Railway, and the difficulty of that section of the tunnel project has been greatly reduced."

"Really? How do you know? The voice was a little grumbling.

"Inside information, someone happened to be in the engineering team. I've already bought a batch of stocks of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, hehe. The voice of the reply was very proud.

"Damn it! Fast! I also want to buy the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway. Someone came to his senses and ordered the trader.

……

Seeing those people buying railway stocks like crazy, and the price of railway stocks rising like rockets, Zhang Xueliang's face was solemn.

"The Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway was built by businessmen and people in Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces, and it is a model of private railways, and the Wuhan government does not need to invest a penny in it, but gives considerable policy and technical support."

Little Kadoorie explained to Zhang Xueliang in a whisper.

Once the railway is opened to traffic, the local economy along the line will explode, and it will also give the best return to the businessmen who invest in the railway.

"Privately invested railways?" Zhang Xueliang's mouth couldn't help but tremble gently, and secretly said that the merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were really rich.

He knew that there was a railway connection from Shanghai to Hangzhou, that is to say, there was already a railway connection from Nanchang to Shanghai, and if the Guangdong-Hanzhou railway and the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line were connected, it would be even more unbelievable, which meant that the Wuhan government could transport the million-strong army from central China, South China, and southwest China to Shanghai through the guò railway......

What if they go north along the Jinpu line in the future? Will the Northeast Army be able to resist the million-strong army armed in the South?

By the way, there is also the Jinghan line, and Wuhan can also go north from Henan......

What a terrible enemy!

Zhang Xueliang had mixed feelings, on the one hand, he was excited about the achievements of China's railway construction, and at the same time, he had to worry about the future of the Northeast Army.

"It's amazing! Every time I go south, the southern exhibition will be very different! ”

Zhang Xueliang said with emotion.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Unfortunately, with the obstruction of warlords such as Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang, the Northeast Army was not yet able to unify the north and was unable to go south to fight Wuhan. Otherwise......

"That's true. This country is so great, and I feel like there are even greater miracles in the future. Little Kadoorie nodded, his career was in China. The Kadoorie family's business is in China. As one of the decision-making levels of Meihua Company. Naturally, little Kadoorie was also "deeply involved" and developed a sense of belonging to the land he was fighting for.

Back in Little Kadoorie's office, Zhang Xueliang gradually calmed down and directly started trading with Little Kadoorie.

This time, he not only purchased weapons, but also bought high-quality and low-cost equipment from Meihua to meet the needs of industrial construction in Northeast China.

"Oh! My friend, I thought you were going to buy weapons? I didn't expect you to be interested in factory equipment too! ”

Little Kadoorie picked up the purchase list proposed by Zhang Xueliang. Browse quickly, the other party listed the list of textile machines, steam engines, various machine tools, seamless steel pipes, gunpowder, etc., with a transaction amount of more than 20 million yuan.

In addition to involving mining, the equipment purchased above is mainly used for weapons production, and an arsenal is going to be built in the Northeast!

Willing to spend such a large amount of money, it is obvious that the king of the Northeast has made a lot of determination, is such a big move stimulated by the industrial exhibition in the south?

Little Kadoorie knew the other party's intentions in his heart, but Zhang Xueliang's request could be met by Meihua Company. Even if the company did not provide equipment, the other party could buy it from the Japanese or other powers. It's nothing more than expensive.

"Hehe, we don't have our own factory. You can't buy weapons from the enemy when you can't fight, right? Zhang Xueliang said with a smile.

The enemy he said was more or less a reflection of Meihua Company and Little Kadoorie, but Little Kadoorie didn't care at all, he pouted: "Why not?" I can sell you whatever you want, and Wuhan can't control me. ”

Little Kadoorie's tone is a bit unashamed, but in fact, except for Zhang Xueliang, the Meihua Company treats other forces in China equally, as long as you have money, machine guns and cannons can be sold to you!

As for why Zhang Xueliang didn't find the Japanese first, he was afraid that the Japanese would make more excessive demands, lest the Japanese become dominant.

"However, my friend, I would like to give you a word of advice, weapons manufacturing involves many industrial fields, and in addition to machinery and equipment, technical personnel are also indispensable. You'd better send someone to our factory for training. ”

Little Kadoorie said sincerely.

His generosity won Zhang Xueliang's favor, Zhang Xueliang nodded, and he was very happy. Since he was a child, Kadoorie has seen the pride of the Meihua Company and Wuhan, and it seems that he no longer regards the Northeast as an opponent, otherwise he would not generously sell the weapons production line to the Northeast.

"My poor Northeast fathers and fellows, how many mineral soybeans do we have to sell to get these machines back from the southerners!"

Ending the conversation with Little Kadoorie, Zhang Xueliang sighed in his heart.

He drove away from the concession and came to Shanghai Huajie, only to quietly appear, the original Huajie outside the concession has changed, the wide kilometer avenue, concrete buildings stand on both sides, the street is full of traffic and crowds, all kinds of commodities are dazzling.

"I didn't expect that the prosperity of the Chinese community in Shanghai is no worse than that in the concession." Zhang Xueliang looked at the street outside and said to an equally young man in the car.

"Well, it's true that there are no foreign flags in the concession here, and the Chinese police on the street are much more energetic than those Indian and Annam patrols in the concession. Even the gangsters in Shanghai don't dare to be arrogant now, haha! ”

Lu Xiaojia laughed, and when he talked about the gangsters in Shanghai, he looked contemptuous.

This world has become really fast, four or five years ago he was still the son of Lu Yongxiang, the overseer of Zhejiang, who didn't respect him at that time?

After his father Lu Yongxiang went into the wilderness, Lu Xiaojia's status was not as good as before, but he was still a friend of the Shanghai Municipal Government, and he was not merciless in investing in industry to make money.

"Oh? I remember that the green gangs in Shanghai are all local snakes, and they also obeyed? Zhang Xueliang said in surprise, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.

I can't help but think of the fact that Lu Xiaojia and the leader of the Green Gang, Huang Jinrong, were jealous and made a mess of the past, which made Lu Xiaojia, the son of the Republic of China who is as famous as himself, lose face. However, Huang Jinrong also ended up well, and it is said that he was killed! Maybe it's Lu Xiaojia's handwriting.

"The Axe Gang is the best now! However, they are more self-disciplined, and in recent years, they have become less and less involved in the pornography, gambling and drug business, but they have contracted projects and engaged in shipping, and they have mixed well. I heard that they also have their own fleet and security company, and they send many people to Nanyang every year to explore. ”

Lu Xiaojia said with some envy.

"Pioneering? What did you do? Zhang Xueliang was a little unfamiliar with this word, and it sounded like a northern peasant breaking into the eastern part of the country.

"Mining, farming, road building, whatever. The land in Nanhua is fertile and cheap. Farmers from the country are very welcome. ”

Speaking of which. Lu Xiaojia lowered his voice. "It is said that they often fight with the natives over there, but those who are bitter at the wharf of the Huangpu River run to the South Seas one by one and rarely come back, it is estimated that they will not suffer, but the natives will suffer." Hehe, those people in the security company are holding all this real guy in their hands, no worse than my old army. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Xueliang was a little moved. Interested, he had been to Nanhua before, but he had no impression of the natives there. Now listening to Lu Xiaojia say this, I feel that this matter is not very simple.

"Why not? In the past, a basket of hooligans and scum in Shanghai has now been either cleaned up and sent to the labor camp to repair the railway, or sent to Nanhua to plague the natives.

I've heard that you can buy large tracts of cheap land there, provided you get rid of the natives. I'm planning to go to Nanhua with some friends, after all, I've also led soldiers! ”

Lu Xiaojia laughed dryly when he said this. Although compared to Zhang Shaoshuai in front of him. He was a little down, but he still lived a relatively chic life.

What's even rarer. Zhang Xueliang did not look down on him because of this, which made Lu Xiaojia feel that Zhang Shaoshuai was a lover and a good friend.

Zhang Xueliang sighed secretly, originally he planned to use Lu Xiaojia to win over Lu Yongxiang's old department, after all, everyone is in the same vein as Beiyang.

At that meeting in 1924, he and Lu Xiaojia and Sun Ke, the three sons of the Republic of China, also planned the "Anti-Direct Alliance", but Wu Peifu failed, and the Northeast Army also entered the customs, but Lu Yongxiang stepped down, and the most benefited was the Zhi Gong Party.

Now Sun Ke, like Sun Wen's old department, is actively throwing himself into Wuhan, but what about Lu Xiaojia? He seems to enjoy his current status as a businessman, but of course, this is also inseparable from his good relationship with the Shanghai municipal government. If you want him to risk opposing Wuhan, I'm afraid it's impossible.

"By the way, this time I went to Shanghai, I want to attract Shanghai businessmen to invest in Northeast China, you are familiar with Shanghai, and I need to borrow your hand."

Zhang Xueliang said directly, polite at all. The exhibition in the northeast is not as fast as in the south, and it is also good, much better than the rest of the country.

"No problem." Lu Xiaojia said briskly, he has matured in the past few years, and he is no longer the arrogant boy he was at the beginning, he does know a lot of friends in the shopping mall, and it is not difficult to promote investment in Northeast China to the Shanghai business community.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow the city government happened to have a cocktail party, and it is said that a Nanhua official went to Shanghai to attract investment and invited wealthy businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to invest in Nanhua. If you are willing to condescend, you can also go and nag those businessmen, even if you are an important person in Shanghai, you don't dare not give you Zhang Shaoshuai's face! ”

Lu Xiaojia said with a smile.

Zhang Xueliang nodded, thinking that this was a good opportunity.

……

The trade between China and the United States in the Pacific Ocean is becoming more and more prosperous, and under the leadership of Nanhua Grain Bank, the silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province has adopted modern technology and rejuvenated.

Walking into the Nanxun silk reeling factory, Situ Nan saw thousands of workers active in the production line, looking in full swing.

When reeling silk, 8o degree hot water is needed to loosen the cocoons, and the hot environment in the silk reeling workshop is not comfortable, but Situ Nan still sees it with relish.

The white silk threads are drawn into spindles with the high movement of the machine, and after reprocessing, they are sent to the supporting textile mills, and finally presented to Situ Nan is the flexible silk.

There are at least a dozen factories of similar scale in Nanxun, with an industrial output value of 500 million, which is a relatively objective figure. After all, China's raw silk industry has been in decline for many years.

"Our factories here use a lot of machine qì production, and the production efficiency is 2o% higher than that of the Japanese silk factory in Shanghai, and the quality is not worse than theirs.

In the past two years, we have signed 20,000 farmers in Nanxun and provided them with technical funds, and they are willing to sell silk to us, but now it seems that it is not enough for this factory to digest. I'm thinking of working with local silk merchants to renovate their old factories so that it will be easier to scale. ”

Yoo Seung-min shows Situ Nam the freshly baked silk while explaining his plan.

"Good. The model of leading companies and farmers is feasible, and it is necessary to make use of the superior resources of Nanhua Grain Bank to make the raw silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang bigger and stronger.

Nanhua Grain Bank has established demonstration factories, set up industry norms, organized silk farmers and silk merchants, and become industrial organizers. ”

Situ Nan encouraged, gently stroking the silk, and felt a little emotion in his heart. Raw silk is a big export earner, but unfortunately China's raw silk is not competitive in the world, and the international raw silk market is monopolized by Japan, and they have made huge profits to subsidize the construction of heavy industry.

"In the raw silk industry, we are too far behind the Japanese. With the Agricultural Bank of China in your hand, you should be able to do a lot of things. Situ Nan added another sentence, expressing the importance of the silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Listening to Situ Nan's indifferent flirtation, Liu Chengmin was naturally unconvinced, and said: "The Japanese are living too nourishingly, how can they continue to specialize in beauty?" We have to show them that China is the country of silk! ”

"You really can't be convinced, Japan's raw silk industry has taken the lead, and more than ninety percent of the raw silk imported from the United States is imported from Japan. If the silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang wants to catch up, don't forget to work hard in agricultural planting. ”

Situ Nan said. He didn't know how to farm, and he didn't know anything about silkworm farming, but he knew that in his world, Japan's silk industry was still the most advanced in the world.

"Hmm. I'll take notice. Liu Chengmin nodded convincingly, and said in his heart: It is necessary to set up a silk industry research institute and organize domestic agricultural experts to study silkworm breeding technology.

When he left the silk reeling factory, Situ Nan was very happy, and Liu Chengmin not only gave him some precious silk, but also a few pairs of stockings made of silk!

Before the advent of nylon, stockings were definitely expensive, and stockings made from silk were so expensive that only the wealthy could enjoy them.

I have to say that Situ Nan's vanity in a certain aspect has been greatly satisfied, and he is even a little impatient.

Leaving Nanxun, taking the Nanxun Railway, along the newly completed Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, Situ Nan also inspected Hangzhou, Jiujiang and other places to gain an in-depth understanding of the industrial and commercial exhibitions of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations.

Overall, satisfying.

"When I go to Shanghai again, I wonder if I will meet that guy? Presumably, he came from Nanhua, and he can be regarded as returning home, right? ”

On the train, Situ Nan threw away the ink-scented newspaper and muttered. (To be continued......)
