Moo――

The Zhang family's cowherd lay on the river beach with a whip in his hand, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, and stammering and singing out-of-tune ballads. Two buffaloes next to them are munching on aquatic plants.

"Hey, stammering, you're out of tune again." An old man with gray hair shouted with a smile from a distance of dozens of meters.

"I, I, I sing, sing mine, get in the way of you, what are you, what?" Zhang stammered and glared back at the old man in annoyance, and finally finished a sentence after a lot of effort.

"Rabbit cub, don't come to die with your nose and face when Lao Tzu's rice wine is brewed." The old man scolded with a smile, looked at the few people behind him and said with a smile, "This is our village's stammer, I don't have to say anything about the ability to herd cattle, and I am also a good hand at doing crop work, but I stuttered a little." ”

The old man was followed by a few foreigners, six or seven technicians, and the other six were guards, "Your posture is much better than the county magistrate's going out." ”

"Uncle Ma, now is no better time than before when he was on an errand for the emperor." Zhang Taofang, who was wearing glasses, was dressed in a black robe, holding her glasses and smiling.

"Yes." Ma Laohan smiled, "In the past, the county lord went out to carry a big sedan chair eight times, hugging each other in front and back, and the front and back of the big shelf added up to a dozen or dozens of people. A distant cousin of mine just blocked the county lord's frame and was discounted by one leg, but fortunately it is now the Republic of China, and there is no such thing. ”

"It's not necessarily, I came from Hanyang last year, and the county magistrate there is bigger than the previous county lord." Zhao Qinglian shook his head and said, he just graduated from the Electric Power Department of Ganifria University and was dug by people from the Northeast, and he saw and heard a lot along the way, and he still had some questions about coming to the Northeast, but after seeing the style here, Zhao Qinglian was also stuck in the thermal power plant in Fengtian during the Chinese New Year last year and did not go back. As a technician in the Northeast, the salary is very generous, and the expensive travel expenses in the eyes of ordinary people and the time consumed back and forth are nothing to him.

"Our Northeast is no better than other places, Yu Shuai said, when bandits, they also pay attention to taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others. The officials eat and use the taxes and fees paid by the people, and when they take the people's money, they have to do practical things for the people. Can't ride on the old man's surname as a prestige, when there was no car before, Yu Shuai also led by example, never sat in a sedan chair to put on a show, and those officials who couldn't change their style of work could be taken down by dozens. Zhang Taofang recalled the experience in the Northeast in the past few years, "You are not in the Northeast, and you don't understand the great changes here." I've been here for a few years, but I can relate to it. ”

After speaking, Zhang Taofang pointed to the barren and plump canyon in front of him, "Right here, in a few years, there will be another barrage dam, and the electricity produced will be supplied to the entire Jilin and provide strong energy for the emerging industrial area of Jilin." This hydropower station with an investment of hundreds of millions of yuan will be of epoch-making significance for the entire Republic of China, and its scale. Generating the largest amount of electricity in Asia, we will all be part of this ambitious project. It has written the strongest stroke in the history of electric power in the Republic of China. ”

Zhao Qinglian, like everyone else, looked at the Fengman Canyon and felt excited, such a huge project, looking at the entire Republic of China, I am afraid that only the Northeast has such great courage and determination to do it, and every scholar is saddened by the current situation of the Republic of China. When he returned to Hanyang, Zhao Qinglian was also confused for a while, and he had nothing to learn but couldn't find a way out of practice. The power infrastructure in Kannai is almost blank, and the vast majority of factories are content with small electric motors, and even in Beijing there are few decent power plants. These power plants are also controlled by foreigners.

Only the handsome man in the Northeast who has never read any books has farsightedness beyond ordinary people in construction, and has the courage and determination to take action. This hydropower station, which will rise from the ground in the Plump Canyon, is also a huge project for any great power at this time, and even the three American engineers who came here to measure are equally shocked by this feat.

After the war, the streets of Berlin were depressed, and except for the German troops who had returned to the area to be regrouped, the streets were sparsely populated with pedestrians and shrugging their heads. As a defeated country, the citizens of Berlin at this time did not have much hope for the future life, and perhaps the next moment the enemy army would be stationed in Berlin.

Arnold sat at the gate of the company without any image at this time, compared to the busy factory in the past, Arnold had to stop most of the machines at this time, Siemens could not afford to pay wages at this time, due to the long-term war, the consumption of living materials intensified, the whole of Germany at this time prices soared, after the defeat, the original mark credit was sharply depreciated, the original wages were no longer enough for workers to maintain their daily lives. Moreover, after being charged by the British at the port, the inbound goods were strictly checked, and Siemens still had two ships of raw materials blocked in the port at this time and could not go ashore. Siemens, which had a bright future, was already in trouble with the defeat at this time.

"I heard that Karl Heinrich is doing well in St. Petersburg and has not been greatly affected by the war, and the new regime there has provided a lot of convenience to Karl Heinrich. At this time, the business environment in Berlin was so bad that I thought it was time for us to go the other way. William said.

"It's a good idea, but it also requires a lot of money to open a branch there, and we can't afford it right now." Arnold shook his head.

"I still have some savings in HSBC, but they are temporarily frozen, and if I can use them after a while, I can put them into action." William laughed.

"Well, let's do it."

"Hello, please go in and report to you, we want to find Mr. Arnold of your company." At this time, Ding Cheng was already dressed in a suit and wearing a gentleman's top hat, and came to the door of Siemens under the leadership of Hu Youmin, the person in charge of Berlin.

"Who are you? I'm Arnold, but I don't know you. Arnold looked at the group suspiciously.

"You are Mr. Arnold, hello, my name is Ding Cheng, from the Far East, this time I came to Berlin to buy a large amount of machinery and equipment, your company has always had a good reputation, if your company is willing to provide at a reasonable price, then the first order of 600,000 US dollars can be given to your company." Ding Cheng knew that his identity as Qin Yu's adjutant might not be easy in front of these Western businessmen, but the temptation of the dollar was something that these people who had always put their interests first could not refuse, let alone the dollar.

"600,000, dollars!" Hearing such a large figure, Arnold was so excited that he almost jumped up, the mark was depreciating at this time, but the dollar was the strongest currency. Even $600,000 before the war was a big order, not to mention that Siemens was facing layoffs and shutdowns. (To be continued......)
