Volume III Aftermath 35 Sumatra - Nanyang Cordial Conference!
There is a word called Kapitan, Dutch, which means that the colonies of Nanyang generally adopted the overseas consular system, that is, the chiefs appointed to come to do business, earn a living or settle in various foreign nationalities to assist the colonial government in dealing with foreign affairs.
Since Medan is a city of immigrants, Kapitan has also become the chief executive of the city. The current position in Medan Kapitan is a Chinese businessman named Gao Wei, who is also a member of the Nanyang Foundation.
Before Meihua intervened, the Gao family was the largest Chinese businessman in Medan, owning large plantations growing pepper, tobacco, coffee and other crops.
The founder of the Gao family was Gao Wei's father, Mr. Gao, a piglet who came from China to make a living. After saving for a few years, the young old man Gao finally paid off his debts, and later started a small business and made a fortune. Fighting hard and capable, he quickly stood out and became a successful Chinese businessman in the Medan region.
It's a pity that there is no 100 days of flowers, because he has no formal education, the old man Gao has limited vision and has not been able to keep up with the times, so the company is also struggling under the run of the more powerful Dutch businessmen, and the situation is getting worse.
A few years after Gao Wei returned from studying in the UK, Mr. Gao went, and what was handed over to Gao Wei was a mess, the Gao family was in debt, and the once million-dollar family business had almost been ruined, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy, so it was almost waiting for the Dutch businessmen to come to liquidate.
Just when the Gao family was about to go bankrupt, Meihua Company began to invest in Medan, and Yao Hongmin found Gao Wei and expressed his willingness to inject capital into the Gao family's industry.
After getting the support of the Meihua Company, the Gao family survived the difficulties and withstood the attack of the Dutch merchants, not only did not fall, but flourished, the scale of the farm expanded several times compared with the original, and also expanded from a single plantation to food processing, port transportation and other businesses, and gradually completely incorporated into the interest circle of the Meihua Company.
Gao Wei has always been obsessed with the Dutch who designed Gao's family back then, and he was not less discriminated against by white people when he studied in the UK, so when Yao Hongmin introduced him to the Nanyang Foundation, he agreed without saying a word.
With the support of the Nanyang Foundation, Gao Wei used the Gao family's prestige in Medan to become the Kapitan of Medan. This was a breakthrough that, with official cover, greatly facilitated the operation of the Nanyang Foundation in Medan.
In the name of Kapitan, Gao Wei gave the Meihua Company a lot of convenience, especially in the poll tax, which saved the Meihua Company hundreds of thousands of guilders.
According to the regulations, the Dutch colonial government imposed a poll tax of 100 guilders on every Chinese worker entering Indonesia, which was a very evil and ugly thing.
Although some of the Chinese workers of the Chinese company were smuggled into Indonesia, they also had to pay a poll tax of millions of guilders. The situation has improved since Gao Wei took up the post of Kapitan, and the Dutch officials of the colonial government in Medan have begun to turn a blind eye to the problem of Chinese smuggling in Medan after being fed by the American-Chinese company. More and more power began to be held by Chinese officials headed by Gao Wei.
Since Gao Wei joined the Nanyang Foundation, the more he learned about the Nanyang Foundation, the more surprised he became, because the strength of the American Chinese Company and the Nanyang Foundation was far beyond his imagination. Not only is it financially abundant, but it also has its own advanced armed forces, and there is a strong and powerful army
Meihua Company is simply a kingdom and a system of its own. As a steady stream of young and strong Chinese workers entered Medan, Gao Wei discovered that Medan was now under the control of the mysterious organization of the Nanyang Foundation.
The Meihua Company not only controlled Medan's economy, but also infiltrated the officialdom of Medan, and the Chinese officials in Medan were all from the Meihua Company or the interests of the Meihua Company's allies. Like the Gao family, the Chinese businessmen in Medan were all tied together by the Meihua Company.
As a member of the Nanyang Foundation, Goodwell has witnessed the expansion of Meihua in Medan. This expansion has now reached new heights. Because today there is a secret meeting of the Nanyang Foundation on the farm outside Medan to discuss the strategic development of the Nanyang Foundation in the future.
Although he is the most powerful person in Medan on the surface, he is actually only a representative of the Nanyang Foundation.
Gao Wei thought silently in his heart. He was informed that the bigwigs behind the Nanyang Foundation would be present at the meeting.
After going through layers of strict security checks, Gao Wei walked into the conference room and saw Yao Hongmin and a handsome and tall young man whispering, as if discussing something happy.
"Brother Xuanyue is here?" Yao Hongmin wanted Gao Wei to beckon.
"This is Gao Wei, Gao Xuanyue. Just mentioned it. Yao Hongmin introduced Gao Weidao, "This is Situ Nan, the chairman of the foundation, and the major shareholder of Meihua Company. ”
"Huh?" Gao Wei looked at Situ Nan in surprise, he was too young, he was still a half-breed. He always thought that standing behind the two mysterious institutions of the United States and China and the Nanyang Foundation was a wise and domineering old man.
"Mr. Gao, I heard about you and have always wanted to meet you, and today I finally got my wish. Thank you, you have done a great job, without your hard work and dedication, we would not have made so much progress in Medan. Situ Nan praised.
Compared with Gao Wei's economic achievements, Situ Nam admires Gao Wei more, a Chinese Kapitan, who roams the political arena in Medan, covering up and facilitating the Nanyang Foundation and the Meihua Company, and does a good job. Well, a bit of a politician, a politician has the potential to be a family.
"Senior brother, you probably don't know yet, right? The founding funds of the US-China Company and the Nanyang Foundation came from Mr. Situ Nan, who is also the leader of a consortium in the United States. In addition to Meihua, our organization also controls several large companies.
Now Minas in Sumatra is also controlled by our oil company. And also?????? ”
With Situ Nan's acquiescence, Yao Hongmin selectively introduced part of Situ Nan's situation to Gao Wei. After several years of investigation, Gao Wei has been recognized by the Nanyang Foundation and has gradually become an important member of the Nanyang Foundation, at least in Medan.
After listening to Yao Hongmin's introduction, Gao Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that we have such a strong strength, why can't we deal with the Dutch?" ”
"Huh. It's good that Mr. Gao has such confidence, and I came here to discuss with you the next step. Situ Nan said with a smile.
The secret meeting of the Chinese in Medan, Sumatra, in August 1919, was of great historical significance and had a direct impact on the future situation in the South Seas of FF8.
The vigorous ** of the Nanyang Chinese fighting for their independence and freedom was also born, and the place was in a secret meeting room of the Meihua Company's Qinqin Farm.
Most of the people attending the meeting were Situ Nan's cronies, including He Wenxiu, Zhang Dongliang, and Han Gang from the security company system; Zeng Liming and Yao Hongmin of the Meihua Company system; the reorganization of the American Anliang Church to the Zhi Gong Party members Situ Meideng, Huang Sande, and Li Qiming; There are also the land snakes of the South Seas, the Lee family in Penang, Li Renqiao, and the Gao Wei of the Medan Gao family.
Situ Nan's secretary Lin Yimin and Situ Nan's cousin Situ Yong also came, but they joined the club, so they couldn't become a big man yet.
Yao Hongmin was the first to speak, who reviewed the achievements of the Nanyang Foundation in recent years and its future prospects.
I saw him say: "After several years of struggle, our cause has made breakthroughs on a global scale. In big cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles in California, we have established ourselves in Chinatown, and although it will take time to integrate into American society, no one dares to deny our strength now.
Although the Chinese Exclusion Act still exists in the U.S. Congress, in California, we have opened a window for Chinese immigration and development to the United States through our own efforts, support righteous officials, and regulations that favor our Chinese. At present, there are more than 450,000 Chinese workers active in California's factories and farms, becoming an important force in California's economic development.
We Chinese, like Mexicans, Italians, Jews, and blacks, work hard to create wealth, and take the initiative to fight for our rights and interests. It can be said that the Chinese Exclusion Act has been invalidated at a certain time.
After the war, according to Mr. Situan's prediction, the agriculture of the United States began to decline, and in order not to continue to stimulate the power of white Americans, we decisively stopped immigration to the United States and targeted Cuba, Venezuela, and other regions.
After the mass immigration to the United States was stopped, our immigrants began to enter the plantations of BP Fruit in Latin American countries. This is very similar to the situation in the South Seas, but our main goal is in the South Seas. Sumatra, to be precise.
Everyone knows about this part of Medan, and I want to repeat that now the population of Medan is 300,000, and we Chinese account for 140,000, almost half, and most of them are young and middle-aged. There are about 90,000 workers under our control, and these are all qualified soldiers. As long as it is trained, I believe it is possible to pull up a force of 100,000 men.
In short, we have secretly controlled the island of northwestern Sumatra, with Medan as the center, from all sides. The next target is areas such as Riau province in central Sumatra, which is rich in oil resources. Our people have already opened a second base in the area before the Minas oil field is exploited.
The current situation is to take advantage of the convenience of our oil company to develop the Minas oil field, and send a large number of Chinese workers and armed forces to the local area in the name of the oil company's security guards or workers, and clean up the surrounding environment by the way.
Then it continued southward and infiltrated Palembang, the big city of East Sumatra. East Sumatra, with Palembang as the center, is our next key target, and its resource-rich and important location, close to Jakarta, the old nest of the Dutch, will be our future outpost against the Dutch.
Moreover, on Belitung Island, across the sea, because of the tin ore problem, our Meihua company is now competing fiercely with Dutch tin merchants.
In the past three years, the company has invested a total of 10 million US dollars in Sumatra, some of which have benefited, but more of it has been spent on material reserves and personnel training.
In addition to Sumatra, we mainly adopt the method of economic expansion in Malaya, through cooperation with local Chinese businessmen, and strive to influence and control the power of Chinese businessmen in Malaya economically. Given the strength of the British, it is difficult for us to deploy a large amount of force.
Finally, Borneo. Borneo is also rich in resources, and there are large areas for Chinese immigrants, so Borneo is also one of our development targets in the future?????? ”
