If the security consulting company is Situ Nan's knife, then the Meihua Trading Company is one of Situ Nan's money bags, which may not contain the most money, but it is the most closely related to Situ Nan's wishes, and Situ Nan can't help but feel uncomfortable.

After returning from the training base of the security company, Situ Nan hurriedly summoned Zeng Liming, the president of the Meihua Trading Company.

"Liming, how is Meihua's affairs developing now, you can tell me." Situ Nan said with a pleasant face.

Sitting across from him was a man in his early thirties, of medium build, and of ordinary appearance, but he was very neat and tidy, and at first glance he knew that he was a serious guy. Especially the focused eyes, so that Situ Nan was relieved to hand over the Meihua Trading Company to him.

"The company is developing rapidly, especially our business with Chinese mainland is very hot, the trade volume has been rising, in the first half of this year, we exported a total of more than 5 million US dollars worth of goods to Chinese mainland, the largest of which is textile, grain processing and other light industrial machinery and equipment, accounting for one-third of the total.

In addition to Mobil Oil Company, it is our Meihua Trading Company that has done the largest business in Chinese mainland. By the way, our partner Shanghai Song's company has done a good job, and they are now among the famous compradors in Shanghai. ”

Zeng Liming said proudly, glanced at Situ Nan playfully, found that the other party had no expression, and continued: "Now China's light industry is developing very rapidly, they have a very strong demand for this kind of machine equipment, Shanghai almost every day there are new factories, except for the United States, Chinese factory owners almost all choose Japanese machines."

The Japanese are our biggest competitors in the Far East, although their technology is not as advanced as ours. But with low costs and fierce competition with us, we have little advantage in the region north of the Yangtze River. In addition to the machine, the others are some hardware or sewing machines, razors, lighters and other small sample goods, these things are also more popular. The goods we import from China are mainly traditional trade goods such as ceramics and silks, as well as pig bristles. We buy bristles from China, ship them back to the U.S., and sell them to local businesses.

In addition, we employ a large number of workers from Chinese mainland and pay a settling-in allowance every month. This is a relatively large expense for the company. At the same time, the investment in the early stage of the Nanyang Reclamation Project is huge, and most of our profits are invested in it, so there will not be too much surplus in the books. ”

Said here. Zeng Liming glanced at Situ Nan a little secretly. Over the years, although the Meihua Trading Company has made a lot of money, it has not returned half a cent for Situ Nan, the boss, but has continuously invested, otherwise some plans cannot be carried out.

"Hmm. Good job. I'll hand over the Meihua Trading Company to you, and sure enough, it's right. Meihua is more than just a company for me. It's more things that money can't buy, so making money isn't my main purpose, as long as our dreams come true. ”

Situ Nan said earnestly, "Do you have any good Jianyì?" Or are there any new plans for the near future? ”。

"Yes. The production cost of my current factory in China is comparatively high. And the workers are also easy to manage, I think if I can, I want to build some new factories in coastal cities such as Shanghai and Guangzhou, such as match factories, food factories and so on, and at the same time train our workers. Zeng Liming said.

"Hmm. What else? Situ Nan nodded and asked.

Set up factories in China and take advantage of cheap local resources and labor. This is the management of foreign capital entering China, and there is nothing new about it.

"One more thing. Foreign foreign companies generally do arms business in Chinese mainland, I don't know if we can do it," Zeng said tentatively. While paying attention to Situ Nan's eyes.

Regarding the matter of arms smuggling, Zeng Liming thought about it for a long time, emotionally, he did not want the US-China trading company to sell American guns to China, but in reality, this is a very lucrative business, even if the US-China is good, others will do it.

If Meihua did it, the money he earned, Zeng Liming was going to leave some of it in the local area to build a school, this was just his idea, but what Situ Nan thought, he didn't know what he wanted.

"Selling weapons to the enemy and fighting your own country is the real arms dealer." Situ Nan thought for a while and sighed, although he hadn't reached that height yet, he was a little embarrassed in his heart.

He is not embarrassed by the question of whether these businesses can be done or not, in this era when opium can run rampant everywhere, there are many things that he cannot control.

Situ Nan shook his head and said expressionlessly: "I'll think about this matter before I talk about it, but no matter what, it must not fall into the hands of those notorious warlords." ”

Maybe it would be better to find a warlord with a more sense of justice to do this kind of business? Situ Nan thought to himself, but he always felt a little self-deceptive.

"Don't talk about this, let's talk about Nanyang! How's that for me to prepare? He changed the subject.

"Hongmin is responsible for this. Last time, he reported that he had completed the arrangement in the Philippines, and the number of workers recruited from the mainland was arranged in the company's farms, and the number of people had exceeded 5,000, and it was estimated that thousands of young and strong people could be selected to enlist in the army.

The equipment for the steel plant that we plan to start production in the Philippines has already been shipped and is expected to be ready for production by the end of the month. In addition to the steel plant, we also plan to secretly build a small arsenal in Manila. Major components such as barrels are produced in the United States and then shipped to be assembled locally, and a bullet reloading plant will be built there. ”

Speaking of this, Zeng Liming was a little excited, and at the same time, he was a little dissatisfied with Situ Nan's pretending to be in his heart. Obviously, this guy instructed the US-China trading company to secretly establish an arms production base in the Philippines, and then expand to other parts of the South Seas.

"Hmm. Very good. However, remember that the Philippines is just a transit station, it doesn't need to be too big, as long as it can meet the training of the army in the early stage. In two years, after the war in Europe is over, we will have a lot of cheap arms, so we don't have to worry about arms and we don't have to invest too much in the Philippines.

We're still aiming for somewhere else, so unless we're self-reliant, that's when we're going to invest a lot of money and technology in the United States. Before that, it was still necessary to control as much land as possible, set up a large number of reclamation companies, and then immigrate from the mainland in large numbers to train young and strong Chinese. In the event of an incident, these trained migrant workers will be our main force. However, now that our strength is still weak, it is better for the factories in the Philippines to keep a low profile, and it is better for the agricultural companies in the Anglo-Dutch colonies not to provoke the British. ”

Situ Nan warned that it was not the first time he had told Zeng to set up a name, but he just figured out that Guò had set up a name to remind Yao Hongmin in Nanyang to pay attention.

In fact, he has filtered a little, and now all the attention of the British is in Europe, and the Dutch are the same, so the recent use of various leather bag companies by the American Chinese trading company to cultivate a large number of farms in the Anglo-Indian and Dutch-Indian colonies has not paid any attention at all, and the colonial government has limited energy, and cannot estimate the affairs of remote areas at all, and they are either entrusted to the Chinese to deal with, or handed over to the local natives to deal with themselves.

Therefore, after completing his affairs in the Philippines, Yao Hongmin's progress in the South Seas was very smooth, especially in the Sumatra region, where the Dutch could not reach him, and the ships of the US-China Trading Company were increasingly traveling between South China and Medan, and more and more bankrupt Chinese farmers entered the farms of the US-China Trading Company, and they wanted to use their sweat to open up a new world in an unfamiliar environment.

Occasionally, an American ship would quietly pull by, and a pair of grim-faced soldiers would walk on it, and then direct the workers to carry the ship's full wooden boxes into the forest and hide them.

"By the way, what are you going to do with An Liangtang?" Zeng Liming suddenly asked a question that made Situ Nan scratch his head.

"What to do?" Situ Nan glanced at Zeng Liming.

"Don't you think we're getting more and more different from them? I didn't want to talk about it, but let's talk about the arms business just now!

Although our US-China Trading Company does not do arms business on the mainland, An Liangtang has smuggled a large number of guns through our ships several times, maybe you don't know it, right? Now that the revolutionaries are also paying more and more attention to us, some people have begun to infiltrate the company, and some people in the company have been shaken by what they say.

In addition to arms, there is opium! If I hadn't kept an eye on it, all the Chinese workers who had entered the United States through our U.S.-China trading company would not let each other interfere, and it is estimated that there would be more and more big smokers in Chinatown. ”

Zeng Liming shook it all out like pouring beans, and recently he has become more and more dissatisfied with some of An Liangtang's actions, and the other party's attempt to accuse the Chinese workers of the Meihua Company is absolutely unbearable for him. At the same time, it also harmed the interests of the Meihua Trading Company, and Zeng Li's name was not like the Meihua Trading Company founded by himself was touched by others and tried to make a wedding dress.

Think about the fact that when he came to the United States alone, he was exploited by Chinese gangs. Gangs like An Liangtang also play the role of aiding and abusive, and he doesn't have a good impression of the gang.

Now that Meihua can stand on its own, and its own strength far exceeds An Liangtang, it is time to make a decision. The decision that Zeng Liming refers to is not to eliminate, but to concentrate all forces on the Nanyang Project, so the leadership of overseas Chinese must be in the hands of Meihua, and this matter must not be interfered with by An Liangtang, let alone compromised.

"So what do you say?" Situ Nan's face sank like water, he didn't count these things in his heart, but he felt uncomfortable when he was told about them.

"Differentiate, absorb, transform, one qiē for my use!" Zeng Liming said.

Why is this tone so similar to some organizations, Situ Nan thought about it for a while, and probably understood what the other party meant.

"You go back and make a detailed plan for this matter and leave it to me. There is not enough time today. I've had a lot of things to do lately, so I'll have good news for you, Ho Wenxiu will soon lead the internal guard to Nanyang, and then our plan will enter the substantive stage. Situ Nan said.

"Why are you going? That's great. Zeng Liming said in surprise.

"Hmm. Before that, we have to have a meeting and we have a common understanding. Situ Nan said casually, but he was thinking about An Liangtang.
