The third volume of the aftermath 20 abducted Chinese workers

The Chinese workers stranded in France were disappointed with the Paris Peace Conference, and many of them participated in demonstrations and fought for their country and nation with blood and courage

The Paris Peace Conference came to an end, and the return of Chinese workers to China gradually entered the highest peak. Every once in a while, a group of Chinese workers from all over France will appear at the Wharf de la Havre, France, and the local residents will hold small flags to see off the departing Chinese workers. The people are simple, and they remember the good of these Chinese who traveled thousands of miles to France

France and China organized arrangements for the return of Chinese workers, and the California Shipping Company, a subsidiary of the William Consortium, obtained most of the passenger orders by virtue of its good relations with the French government, and most of the Chinese workers will return to Chinese mainland on the ships of the California Shipping Company.

Through various means such as bribery, the Nanyang Foundation opened up the relationship between France and China, quietly separated the more than 20,000 Chinese laborers they controlled, and after arriving in Nanyang, they were transported to Sumatra, Borneo and other places in batches little by little.

The French are reluctant to renew their lives, but they can't stop most of the Chinese workers from returning home. Despite this, some Chinese workers chose to stay in France.

In the past three years, these people have adapted to life in France, and the conditions in France are better than in China, especially some Chinese workers working in factories, who have now mastered the skilled skills and become factory technicians.

Considering that they might not be able to "apply what they have learned" when they return home, these people chose to stay in the factory in France after the French promised that they would be able to bring their families over.

Situ Nan's original investment plan did not take France into account, and when he learned of this situation, he immediately launched an investment plan in France, and successively acquired two steel mills, a chemical plant, a food factory and a large textile factory.

These factories were in Alsace and Lorraine, which the French had ceded back from Germany, and were one of the famous steel producing areas in Europe, which was historically disputed by the Germans, but now belonged to the French, and could be used by Situ Nan to house the Chinese workers who were willing to stay in France. Investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in steel mills to train qualified steelworkers is worth it.

Because it didn't cost much, the French government received a large amount of factory and industrial equipment from Germany, which it then generously sold to domestic and foreign capitalists in exchange for money.

As we all know, the French prefer usury to industry, and they would rather invest their money in finance or in their lucrative overseas colonies than in domestic industry, so French industry has always lagged behind Germany and Britain.

This is an opportunity for Situ Nan. Although the return on investment in French industry was not as high as other projects, Situ Nan was still generous to the French.

With the exception of the Philippines, American and Chinese companies did not dare to invest in heavy industries such as steel elsewhere for fear of attracting the attention of the colonial government. Large-scale immigration has also begun to stop in the United States, and now France, which is in ruins, can be used as a training base for Nanyang Foundation's technical talents in Europe.

In particular, some German mechanics who were not settled, Situ Nan could not move them to the United States or other places, but they could be placed in Alsace and Lorraine, so that they could reserve talents for the future Nanyang Chinese countries in a secret way.

This can only be done, not said.

Situ Nan knew that most Chinese workers were eager to return to China, in addition to homesickness, but also because the French government could not allow all the remaining workers to take all their relatives in Chinese mainland, and could only open it to some Chinese workers with one skill, to put it bluntly, skilled immigrants.

Individual Chinese workers can stay in France, marry French women, and organize families to have children, but this is only for Chinese workers and does not benefit their families. It is difficult for a lonely goose to fly, which for Chinese who have always valued their families, no matter how wonderful the outside world is, they must return to their hometowns.

What the Nanyang Foundation can do is to mobilize Chinese workers to stay in France as much as possible, solve the worries of those Chinese workers who are willing to stay in France, and do not hesitate to use their connections to bring their relatives in the mainland and let them work in French factories with peace of mind. It doesn't matter if you don't have the skills, as long as you are willing to stay and learn by heart, the Nanyang Foundation's factories in France will provide you with employment training.

Under the instructions of the Nanyang Foundation, the members of the Chinese volunteer group persuaded the Chinese workers to stay in France to learn advanced production technology, and to serve the motherland or let their families live a good life in the future.

After seeing the benefits of France, many people are no longer willing to go back to their hometowns to live a life of poverty again. In particular, some of the Chinese laborers who had been squeezed dry by French women and gambling tables changed their minds at the thought of returning to China empty-handed, facing the loess with their backs to the sky.

More than 15,000 Chinese workers chose to stay in France, and they were scattered and housed in Situ Nan's factories across France. This is several times more than the 3,000 Chinese workers who stayed in France in history, and in fact, most of these Chinese workers were sent to Nanyang and did not return to France.

The change of mind of the Chinese workers made the French government happy, who told the French men to almost die? The hard-working and honest Chinese workers are much more capable than the clumsy blacks.

Under the lobbying of the Wilhelm consortium, in order to restore the country's strength more quickly, the French government finally relaxed the restrictions on Chinese workers and allowed more Chinese workers to bring their families from the country. As a result, Chinatowns began to appear in Paris and Alsace, Lorraine and other areas of France.

Situ Nan was very satisfied with this. He even fantasized that if the trajectory of history remained unchanged, would a certain Deng Wei person at this time walk into his food factory to make tofu?

During the war, it was easier for Chinese workers who learned a skill in a factory to stay in France, but for those Chinese workers who ploughed the fields or fought on the front line, their usual circle was relatively small, they did not have much contact with French society, they did not like to go to factories, they did not like to stay in this strange country, and they wanted to return to their hometowns to buy land, build a house, marry a daughter-in-law, and live the life of a small landlord of their dreams.

Of course, Situ Nan and the Nanyang Foundation will not "let go" these people lightly, and the Meihua Company has prepared a whole set of plans to "deal with" those Chinese workers who are eager to return home.

The Nanyang Foundation and the Chinese Volunteer Group publicized and encouraged some Chinese to stay outside France, and then sold to other Chinese workers the Nanyang land development plan carefully prepared by the American Chinese Company.

In order to develop this land, it is not only necessary to introduce labor from the mainland, but also to bring in funds and talents.

If you save money, each Chinese worker can save 65 francs after deducting miscellaneous expenses, and the employment period is three years, which adds up to 2,340 francs.

According to the pre-war exchange rate, 2,340 francs was equivalent to thousands of oceans, which was a huge sum of money for an ordinary person. A Chinese worker saves thousands of oceans a year, so won't the 170,000 Chinese workers have 100 million oceans in three years?

That's not a small amount

Of course, this is the most ideal situation, considering the depreciation and other expenses, it is actually not that much, but after the discount, the amount is also more than 10 million. It can be seen from this that these hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers are indeed a group of rich masters.

The U.S.-China Bank opened a branch in Paris, France, early on, to operate trade settlement, exchange and other services between France and Chinese mainland, and after the war, the French and British governments began to pay Chinese workers' wages, some of which will be remitted to China through the U.S.-China Bank. Therefore, after the Meihua Company and the Nanyang Foundation grasped this information, they couldn't hold back and began to target these Chinese workers.

Even if some of these funds can be invested in the Nanyang cause, it will greatly alleviate the financial pressure of the Nanyang Foundation and effectively promote the implementation of the Nanyang Plan. Rather than letting these Chinese workers go into obscurity after returning to China and slowly consume their hard work, it is better to use them for their own use, and control these people's money in their hands no matter what.

So, a well-intentioned black hand began to reach out to those ignorant Chinese workers.

The members of the Chinese Volunteer Group have been transformed into skilled real estate managers. Well, these people are trained, they are very eloquent, they know the hearts of Chinese workers well, and they know that what these Chinese workers crave most is land, and the first thing that Chinese workers do after returning to China is to buy land in their hometown and return to their hometown.

But now Chinese workers have a better choice. When the Chinese workers boarded the ship, they would be given a promotional advertisement by the Chinese company or the Chinese volunteer group that advertised the Nanyang land development of the Chinese company.

Considering that many Chinese workers are illiterate, Meihua's propaganda pays more attention to pictures and models. Of course, all kinds of tempting explanations are indispensable.

The walls of the ship are pasted with large land advertising posters, these posters are all colorful, and the above scenes are the successful development cases of Meihua Company - the land of Lianmo, the lively and rich farm, the exquisite and brand-new brick houses, the neat roads, as well as street lights, stadiums and other facilities, it is like a paradise, more desirable than the French farms seen by many Chinese workers.

The ship's agent would tell the Chinese workers that they had seen a beautiful sight that had not long ago been a deserted place, built after the arrival of immigrants from the American Chinese Company, and that the houses were now for the new immigrants to move into.

The company still has a large area of undeveloped land, which is cheap and fertile, and can be harvested by sowing a handful of seeds. There are not only posters, but also a variety of informative materials, development models, and even films.

"It's not a dream, it's definitely not a dream, it's all true, happiness depends on us to create zào"

"Compatriots, go to Nanyang, spend a dozen oceans to buy an acre of land, spend a hundred oceans to ensure that you live a more beautiful life than the big landlords in the village"

"Why hesitate? Take your family to Nanyang and live a good life."

The inflammatory slogans of the agent filled the ears of the Chinese, and in the face of the ubiquitous mental hints, the Chinese workers who originally planned to buy a house in their hometown were moved, and they couldn't help but be unmoved.

The price of land in Nanyang is even lower, and many people have found that the money to buy 10 acres of land at home can buy 30 acres or even 100 acres of land in Nanyang. Although some land has not yet been cultivated, does the dealer still have this strength?

To be a hundred-acre landlord, just think about it, let those simple Huagong spend the loneliness on the ship. Some of the people who usually spend a lot of money regret it

Damn, no matter how soft and big that Fa Nu is, it can't compare to a hundred acres of fertile land - some people regret it
