"Alas, it's bigger than the Shanghai dock! Uncle Chen, look, there's a train! ”

Jiang J Guo looked out excitedly, a train roared, the railway station is less than 200 meters away from the wharf, it is also a brand-new three-story modern building, the roof of the building "New Tangshan Railway Station" six steel erected red characters can be seen from a long distance, as well as the quaint clock on the wall, it looks a little domineering.

The roar of the train and the low roar of the ship of the sea came and went, like two giant beasts fighting in the dark. Crowds poured out of the train station and onto the docks here, as if they were hurrying to catch the upward pulse of the newly industrialized country. Most of them are young people in their teens and twenties, and there are very few old people in this city that has been suddenly accelerated, and in their place are more young women who are interested in the emancipation of individuality.

"The real name of New Tangshan is well deserved! Good, good! ”

Zhu Wulou smiled and nodded, and the crutches gently knocked on the floor under his feet, and the solid cement floor gurgled and splashed a few traces of water.

People are in a hurry, and they have no time to care, or walk, or climb into the bus or the train not far away, and suddenly disappear into the sea of people.

The entire square is paved with thick plaster, and the new highway leads to the bustling city, and tall buildings loom in the background.

"Ahh

Zhu Ming clutched her chest and sighed, coming out of the dock, she felt like she had walked into the inside of a huge fast-moving machine and was being pushed away, which made her a little uneasy.

Fortunately, I have my husband and father by my side. Otherwise, when she came here as a woman, she always felt a little flustered, and she couldn't tell if she was lost.

What reassured her was that the eyes were full of Chinese, and the eyes were full of yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese, although they didn't understand the Cantonese or Hokkien Zhu Ming in their mouths, but for these newcomers standing at the door, with an amazed face, the New Tangshan people had long been accustomed to seeing them, and did not show hostility. On the contrary, there is a kind of intimate feeling.

Because this is the world of the Chinese, the South Chinese welcome compatriots from China, and the arrival of one more Chinese will give this young Chinese world a sense of security and belonging.

Although Zhu Wulou was a little dazzled by the busy scene of the wharf, he didn't feel any apprehension in his heart, just like the kind greeting of the Chinese customs boy who wore a uniform and had a pimple on his face when he went out of the customs just now, to every compatriot who came to Nanhua from China. Nanhua Customs will say: "Welcome to Nanhua, here is like home." ”

Chen Guofu held the gilded business card left by Liu Hongsheng, with his address and phone number in New Tangshan, Jiang Weiji did not appear for a long time, he was a little anxious, his car was still in the freight yard of the wharf.

Liu Hongsheng had already invited them just now. Chen Guofu pondered whether to go to Liu Hongsheng's house as a guest first, and was patted on the back, and when he looked back, his younger brother Chen Lifu and his uncle Jiang Weiji were standing in front of him with a smile on their faces.

"Why are you here?" Chen Guofu subconsciously asked Chen Lifu, and he seemed to remember that Chen Lifu would not return from the United States until half a year later.

"Nanhua is urging tightly. I had to come back early, and it was less than a month. I wanted to contact you again after I came down from work, but I ran into Uncle Jiang a few days ago, and I knew that you were going to come over. ”

Chen Lifu explained with a smile.

Today, he finally asked for leave, and in just one month, he was very busy. I didn't have time to bother with anything else, including contact with my brother.

After a greeting, Jiang Weiji asked Chen Guofu: "We waited for you over there for a long time just now, why haven't we seen you all this time?" ”

Jiang Weiji pointed to the entrance and exit not far away, bustling passengers were pouring out, they were all ordinary passengers on the Taiping Steamer, which could be seen from their dry clothes and somewhat messy hair.

"Let's go through the VIP passage here! It came out quickly. Someone else helped me with my luggage. Jiang J Guo pointed to the passage behind him and said proudly, Jiang Weiji was relieved and looked at his son excitedly.

In the past few years of "falling grass", I have never had the opportunity to fulfill my father's responsibilities, and I feel a little guilty in my heart, in the blink of an eye, this guy has grown into a little adult, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, a strong body, almost the same height as himself, Jiang Weiji is very pleased.

Jiang Weiji rented a house for Chen Guofu's family in the urban area, which was an army guest house, with a beautiful environment and complete facilities, and the elites in and out of the military and political circles were considered semi-official industries, but they were generally not open to the public.

Chen Guofu was very satisfied with this, and at the reception banquet in the evening, he drank a few more glasses, and he quipped: "Uncle Jiang, it seems that you have boiled it out!" ”

"Boiled out?" Jiang Weiji put down his chopsticks, shook his head with a smile, took a sip of rice wine and sighed, "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!" It's still early to get out. ”

"Uncle Jiang is too modest, you have just been appointed as the governor of Yogyakarta, in charge of the military and political power of a province, except for those heroes who fought the world together, you are considered to be prosperous, maybe he will be able to enter the cabinet one day?"

Chen Lifu looked at Jiang Weiji with some envy, and was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Weiji's pretense of emotion.

There are more than a dozen provinces in South China, and the Yogyakarta Special Administrative Region is one of them, which is indeed an honor for Jiang Weiji, who is not from the Chinese army of the United States and has not participated in the founding war.

If you don't have a strong backstage behind you, you will never be able to climb to that position. Not long ago, Chen Lifu returned to Nanhua, and he was not very familiar with Nanhua, did not know the hardships Jiang Weiji had experienced, and did not understand the ambition in his heart.

Hearing that he was going to enter the cabinet in the future, Jiang Weiji's heart moved slightly, and his compliments to Chen Lifu were very useful. At present, this Chen brother is the object of his attention.

When he invited Chen Guofu to work under him, he was politely rejected by Chen Guofu, and he was secretly unhappy in his heart, but he still listened to Chen Guofu's explanation with a smile on his face.

"That's right, my father-in-law plans to open a Zhejiang Bank in Nanhua, and he wants me to help. There are also several businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who have entrusted this matter to us for management. ”

Chen Guofu was a little embarrassed. After receiving a telegram from Jiang Weiji from Nanhua, he rushed over, and he originally promised to come and assist Jiang Weiji, but now he has a new idea.

Bank?

Chen Guofu's words caught Jiang Weiji's attention. Listening to Chen Guofu's detailed statement of the plan to set up the Bank of Zhejiang, he secretly sighed Chen Guofu's good luck.

Chen Guofu's development in the banking industry is also good for Jiang Weiji, and in Chen Guofu, Jiang Weiji faintly sees that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang businessmen in Nanhua can provide him with help in the future.

"You have found a good future, happy for your uncle, work hard, and come to me if you have anything." Jiang Weiji's attitude became enthusiastic and encouraged Chen Guofu to invest in the Yogyakarta area.

Chen Guofu readily agreed, secretly grateful to Jiang Weiji for taking care of him.

After the banquet was over, Jiang Wei remembered that he would rush back to Yogyakarta to take office the next day. He hurried away. Zhu Wulou was old, and he also went back to rest after a tiring journey, leaving only the Chen brothers to continue to communicate.

Compared with Chen Guofu, who did not have the opportunity to go to college and came out early to work in society, Chen Lifu was much luckier, not only went to college, but also studied abroad and came back with a master's degree.

"Why don't you come and do it with me? Our brothers are working together to set up a bank? ”

Chen Guofu looked at his younger brother expectantly, and after a whole day, he only knew that Chen Lifu had just returned to Nanhua and was working as an engineer in a company. I thought: My younger brother has just returned from the United States, even if he has a diploma, he will not get a good position in a short time, so instead of helping others, why don't the brothers partner up to set up a bank?

"No, I have an arrangement! I'm going to Borneo next week on a business trip, and there's a coal mine project waiting for me. ”

Chen Lifu refused with a smile. He is very satisfied with his current job, and the booming industry in Nanhua has given engineers like him the opportunity to make a difference, like a magnet, attracting industrial talents from all over the world to come and pan for gold.

"What's so good about a broken company? You've stayed in the ocean, and you have ink in your belly. I have experience, I am familiar with the operation of the bank, and now that the funds are settled, where is the better way to run my own bank? ”

Chen Guofu persuaded, some hated iron and steel, and looked at Chen Lifu, who was a little stubborn.

Broken company?

Chen Lifu smiled dumbly, and felt that it was necessary to shock his brother with some materials. lest he think that his younger brother is "not motivated."

"My mining company is developing coal in West Borneo, which includes the construction of two railways totaling 350 kilometres in the West Borneo region. It also includes the construction of deep-water terminals in Pontianak and other places, and the organization of a fleet of 200,000 tons of transport vessels. The project is expected to cost 200 million South Chinese dollars, and it will take at least five or six years to complete the project, and now that the project has just begun, I don't want to give up. ”

Chen Lifu said with a firm face, because this project has not yet been made public. So at first, he didn't make it clear to Chen Guofu, but only vaguely said that he was working as an engineer in a mining company.

Chen Guofu looked at his confident younger brother and woke up: his younger brother has grown up and has his own opinions, so he doesn't need to worry about him anymore.

Then he asked, "Then what are you responsible for?" ”

"In charge of mine construction, my boss is the chief engineer of the entire mine construction project, I am his assistant, there is so much work to do, next week, I will go to Borneo."

Chen Lifu said a little proudly.

He had an internship at Guben Energy Company in the United States, during which he also participated in a coal mine project in Tennessee, southern Tennessee, and was no stranger to mine construction projects.

"Oh? That's amazing! Chen Guofu clapped his hands excitedly, feeling that his younger brother was a person who did great things.

"The industrialization of the Western powers all started with coal and iron, and now it has developed to the automobile manufacturing as the center, driving the development of steel, petroleum, chemical and other related industrial sectors.

In the past two years, Nanhua has made considerable achievements in industrial construction, with the most developed oil exploitation industry, and now the most important thing is to speed up the development of heavy industry dominated by coal and iron.

West Borneo's coal resources are particularly important, and it is an honor for me to be able to participate in the industrial construction of this country by providing sufficient energy for the industrial development of South China. ”

A hint of fanaticism flashed in Chen Lifu's eyes, as a mining engineer, if he can't apply what he has learned, engage in politics or business, it will be a lifelong regret!

Chen Guofu somewhat understood his brother's intentions and secretly wished him to go further.

Things went back on a normal trajectory, and Jiang J Guo was sent to the New Tangshan Army High School, but soon transferred to the Naval Academy, and after this trip, the child may have fallen in love with the wide and mysterious dark blue.

With the support of Liu Hongsheng, Zhou Tiancheng and others, Zhejiang Bank opened in New Tangshan. The experience of working at Shanghai Meihua Bank has allowed Chen Guofu to run the bank in an orderly manner.

One of the Chen brothers is in business and the other is an engineer, so that the historical CC department will finally not appear again, but the new immigrants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang represented by the Chen brothers are gradually rising...... Turn your lens to the far Middle East.

Situ Nan, who was visiting wèn in Egypt, did not know that because of a whim, Jiang Weiji was kicked to Nanhua, and under the influence of this, the Chen family brothers, who are famous in history, also developed in Nanhua by mistake.

Cairo. The rich and luxurious summer palace, the Egyptian king Fouad has lived a good life in recent years, and has successively added a lot of modern facilities to his palace.

With his support, the Egyptian government and Chevron reached an agreement to allow Chevron to conduct oil exploration in Egypt.

"Oh, my friend, I am touched by your generosity, may Allah bless our friendship forever." Fouad was as fat as a pig's head, and the golden silk was draped over him like a brocade robe draped over a fat pig, which looked very funny. The greasy smile almost "drowned" the originally small eyes, and the Chevron oil company's offer to apply for oil exploration in Egypt really excited the king. Succeeding or not, he gets a hefty fee.

If Chevron really succeeds in extracting oil in the Gulf of Suez, it will greatly promote the economic development of Egypt and increase the income of the king.

"It's my pleasure, Your Majesty." Situ Nan responded with a smile, and handed over the contract to He Xiangu next to him. As for his assistant Ho Yongyuan, he should now be discussing something of mutual interest with the Saudi king.

Chevron had to pay a lot of money to get this permission, but it was worth it for Situ Nan to know, and he was now ready to go to war with the British.

The enthusiastic king entertained Situ Nan in the summer palace, and the style of the Arab girl made Situ Nan fascinated, but he still firmly rolled up his trousers and set off resolutely.

The Chevron Oil Company was going to explore oil in Egypt, and the British were very nervous, and as soon as Situ Nan left on the front foot, the British rushed to the summer palace on the back foot, and questioned the king violently, and finally returned in a huff.

The British, while controlling Egypt's diplomacy, were unable to ban Chevron's operations, and less than a month later, a long-prepared oil exploration team arrived in the Gulf of Suez and soon pumped oil in the cotton fields of Duncan Comptoir.

Egypt's oil resources are relatively small, but Chevron's successful adventure in Egypt caught the eye of the British and French, who subsequently joined the bandwagon.

However, the effect is not good, and after spending a lot of manpower and material resources in vain, there is no gain, and Chevron Oil Company is secretly scolded for stepping on shit luck. A dark war for Egyptian oil gradually unfolded, starting from Egypt and spreading all the way to the west, affecting Libya, Algeria and other North African regions. (To be continued.)
