Volume III Aftermath 55 Southern Star Steamship Company

Under the persuasion of Situ Nan, Huang Zhonghan decided to merge the shipping business of the Huang family with the shipping business of the Meihua Company to form a new shipping company, the Nanxing Steamship Company

The new company is headquartered in Singapore, with a registered capital of 5 million US dollars, of which the Meihua Company accounts for 40 shares, and Huang Zhonghan accounts for 20 shares.

"I sold you this old bone." Huang Zhonghan smiled and said to Situ Nan that he will become the chairman of the board of directors of the new company. "Uncle Huang, isn't the company also your Huang family? I'm relieved to have you there. ”

Situ Nan smiled, as for how to run the Nanxing Steamship Company, he had his own ideas, and said to Huang Zhonghan: "However, there are so many things you are responsible for, it is best to find a good helper, after all, you are old, you must pay attention to maintenance, isn't the eldest son about to graduate?" I can ask him to help."

"Is he still tender?" Huang Zhonghan smiled, "What? Look down on my old bones? ”

The eldest son Situ Nan just mentioned is Huang Zhonghan's eldest son, Huang Zongxuan, who is said to have returned from studying in the United States in a few months.

"Nope. Uncle Huang, you are old and strong, but who dares to look down on you as the head of the Chinese businessmen in Nanyang? I look forward to seeing what you can do. If there is anything to tell Medan, if anyone comes to Yin, we must also pay homage to him. ”

Situ Nan admonished.

He established the Southern Star Steamship Company to expand the fleet, and also planned to prepare for the Chinese to cultivate maritime power. Britain has dominated the world for a hundred years, but the invincible prestige of the Royal Navy is based on Britain's developed shipbuilding industry and countless well-trained captains and crews.

If there were no crew members of Gao Suzhì, even if Situ Nan got more advanced warships from the United States, the Chinese navy would not be able to use them in the future, so what use would it be?

"I remembered. Whoever messes with you kid will have a headache. Huang Zhonghan nodded, adding more confidence. He knew that although the gang on Sumatra Island couldn't be exposed, what could they do if they were ruthless?

Previously, Huang Zhonghan vaguely heard that there were fewer pirates in the Strait of Malacca, and later after learning about the Zhi Gong Party, he realized that it was those people who did it.

In order to strengthen the strength of the Nanxing Steamship Company and compete for the international shipping market, Situ Nan asked the California Shipping Company to transfer 30,000 tons of steamships to the Nanxing Steamship Company, which were bought back by Situ Nan from the German shipowner at a low price, and after sinking two in World War I, there were still 7 or 8 ships left, although some of them were old, but they were better than practical, and they were suitable for the Nanxing Company, which was established not long ago, and the funds were not too abundant.

The California Navy Corp. retired a few older ships and could free up funds to order more advanced and larger ships from Bethlehem or Francis Shipyard.

Now Bethlehem is not in a good situation, after losing a large number of government orders, the size of the shipyard is gradually shrinking. It would be nice to be able to improve the shipyard's technology with new orders. In addition to Medan, Situ Nan plans to move the shipbuilding equipment obsolete by the Bethlehem Company to the Philippines and start testing the 5,000-ton shipbuilding project.

As early as a few years ago, the United States and China began to build a 100,000-ton steel plant in the Philippines, although the technology is quite advanced, but the steel produced in Nanyang is not bad. After all, there is no steel industry in Nanyang, and most of the machinery needs to be imported from Europe or the United States, so the small steel plant of the United States and China in the Philippines is quite prosperous.

Huang Zhonghan was surprised by this, "Why haven't I heard of that steel plant?" There are a lot of things we can do with the steel mills. Huang Zhonghan looked at Situ Nan with some excitement.

"You can do a lot of things. It's a pity that the production is too small. Situ Nan said lightly.

If Nanyang were to become independent now, he was confident that it would take him ten years to build a million-tonne-a-year steel plant. Although there is a lack of high-quality iron ore in the South Seas, nearby Western Australia is rich in iron ore, but it lacks a suitable environment. Situ Nan has secretly ruled out geologists to go to Australia for investigation, and I believe it will not be long before he receives good news.

"Less? I've heard that the Japanese produce just over 800,000 tons of steel. Your factory in the Philippines alone accounts for one-eighth of Japan's steel production," Huang Zhonghan said angrily.

"It can't be compared. Don't look at Japan is an island country, resources are scarce, can only rely on imports, and their capacity is not as abundant as the British, but, after the bankruptcy of the Romanov dynasty, Russia fell into civil strife, and now the Japanese are dominant in Northeast China, in order to contain the Soviet Union, Britain, the United States, France and other countries have acquiesced to Japan to take Northeast China as their own range of strength, once Japan completes their layout in Northeast China, steel production will increase significantly, and national strength will also expand with it, it is not difficult to directly invade China? "Situ Nandao. This is the last thing he wants to see.

"How good are the Japanese? Do they have that kind of strength? Huang Zhonghan shook his head and said, not believing that the Western world would allow the Japanese to monopolize China.

"I'm talking about ten years, twenty years from now, who dares to guarantee the wolf's ambition? But there is a good saying, steel is the country. We must do our best to complete the layout in the South Seas and expand our strength in order to drive away the Dutch. Only when we are in charge will we have the opportunity to build a national steel industry. Only with the steel industry can we make our voice heard, and when Shenzhou falls, we can hold up a sky for it in the South Seas. ”

Speaking of which, Situ Nan was a little impatient, eager to get out of the Dutch immediately, and then help the American steel factory to Nanyang, and then wait for the devil to come to the door to die in Nanyang, and finally beat the devil into the eighteenth layer of hell.

Huang Zhonghan nodded, and somewhat understood why Situ Nan invested in a shipyard in Medan and opened a machinery factory in the Philippines, both for the purpose of training troops and cultivating technical strength for future national construction.

"Then we should increase investment in steel mills in the Philippines, preferably to three or five million." Huang Zhiyuan naturally understood the meaning of steel, and he said excitedly, "When the time comes, we will build guns and cannons, and use the weapons we produce to teach the Dutch and those natives a lesson." ”

"No, no more." Situ Nan shook his head slightly, although the Philippines is rich in resources, it is not easy to exploit, and the steel plants of the United States and China in the Philippines will not grow by leaps and bounds for a long time in the future. Recently, the Meihua stall has been very popular, and there are not too many resources to spend on the steel mills in the Philippines.

Neither Situ Nan nor the rest of the Zhi Gong Party wanted to spend precious resources on the Philippines. Most of the U.S.-China investments in Nanyang are light industries that have achieved quick results, and it will have to wait a few years for the construction of a large scale and the Great Leap Forward??????

Compared to most of the thrifty Chinese tycoons, Huang Zhonghan is more modern, and his favorite thing is to make money desperately, and then spend it desperately and enjoy the best, so her number of women is also terrifying.

He liked the William very much, touched the William, and said to Situ Nan enviously, "This cruise ship is so beautiful, I stayed for two days, and I didn't want to leave." ”

"Huh. Uncle Huang, you are now enough to attract the jealousy of the Dutch, if you own such a luxurious cruise ship, won't you make them exploit you even more unscrupulously? Bear with it for a few years, and then we'll succeed, and I'll give you one. Situ Nan said generously.

"Really?" Huang Zhonghan looked at Situ Nan expectantly. The William is really too stylish, and it is estimated that it will greatly satisfy Huang Zhonghan's vanity. Obviously, although the richest man in Nanyang is rich, his status is still inferior to that of the Dutch, and his self-esteem has been hurt.

After seeing Situ Nan nodding, Huang Zhonghan smiled happily: "It's really unrequitable, otherwise, I'll marry Hui Lanxu to you." ”

"Don't, Uncle Huang, let me go, I don't want to hurt anyone. Laura knew this, and I had to die tonight. Situ Nan hurriedly rejected Huang Zhonghan.

"It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, the most important thing is that he has the ability, although Huilan is a little wronged by marrying you, but with your ability, it is not considered to eliminate her." Huang Zhonghan looked at Situ Nan with some expectation.

This old pervert went crazy Situ Nan scolded in his heart, shook his head with a straight face, but didn't agree.

Looking at Situ Nan's resolute expression, Huang Zhonghan tested it for a while, and stopped chasing Situ Nan. With a hint of regret, he stepped off the William and began to work on the affairs of the Southern Star Steamship Company.

There are many wealthy Chinese businessmen in Singapore, and Huang Zhonghan is confident that he will complete the first IPO of Nanxing Steamship Company.

Huang Zhonghan left, and he left behind Huang Zongxiao, the hope of the future, and Huang Zongxiao will follow the William to study in the United States.

Looking at Huang Zhonghan's departing back, Huang Zongxiao's eyes moistened, because he couldn't go back to Nanyang until he had learned something.

"Your father expects a lot from you, and although he is usually very strict with you, you don't let him down." Situ Nan walked over and patted Huang Zongxiao's immature shoulder.

Zong Xiao nodded, but the young man was lively in the end, and he wanted to get out of Huang Zhonghan's clutches and not have to cower in the face of his natural enemies, Huang Zongxiao's heart immediately jumped with joy, and William's every qiē made him move and satisfied. It's much more comfortable to enjoy at home than at home.

However, Situ Nan's words immediately poured a basin of cold water on Huang Zongxiao.

"Starting tomorrow, you go to live with the crew, serve with the crew on board, train, learn English and other knowledge until the United States. I'll send someone to oversee you. Situ Nan said expressionlessly.

"Why? How can you do that? Huang Zongxiao looked at Situ Nan with some anger, not understanding why Situ Nan, who had always been in a good impression of him, would give him such treatment.

"Because the biggest thing for me here is that if you really want to ask something, it is that I can't get used to your young master's temperament, if you don't take off your young master's temper, and if you don't suffer a little, you won't grow up, and you won't be able to inherit the Huang family business in the future. Don't look at your Huang family, think about why your father moved from Java to Singapore."

After Situ Nan finished speaking, he left without looking back. He believed that the idle and boring bodyguards on the ship would drill Huang Zongxiao fiercely. (To be continued.)
