Hongjiang, the town guards the study of the embassy.

"Come, come, sit, sit" Wang Zhenyu received his two subordinates very warmly.

These two subordinates are the persons in charge of the Anjiang Model City project selected by Wang Zhenyu, Chen Shao and Chen Quzhen.

The two of them were a little nervous in the face of Wang Zhenyu, especially Chen Quzhen, who didn't expect that he could be appreciated by the town guard as a river worker. Chen Shao didn't expect that less than half a year after he put into service, Wang Zhenyu would become the envoy of Xiangxi Town, a veritable king of Xiangxi.

"You are all surnamed Chen, and you will have to work together in the future, so I hope you can unite sincerely and do something about it." Wang Zhenyu said a little leisurely.

"Please rest assured, I am about to be old, I am here to make a statement, I will work hard with Brother Chen Shao to do the errand assigned by the marshal, and never disappoint the trust of the marshal." Chen Quzhen was the first to stand up and express his position.

Chen Shao also smiled in agreement, and Wang Zhenyu said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Qu Zhen, do you know that Weishenme transferred you from Hegong to Anjiang?" ”

Seeing Chen Quzhen shaking his head, Wang Zhenyu continued: "This is the first time, the river work will be handed over to the local government in the future, and there will be no special agency to be responsible for it on the side of the town guard embassy." Second, I asked Brother Tian that you were also from the New Army in the past, and you also went to Tibet to quell the rebellion. So I thought about it, talents are rare, as long as you can work with peace of mind, I still hope that you will continue to serve in the army and don't bury your talent. ”

Chen Quzhen immediately stood up with an excited expression, and said with a slight trembling: "The handsome is rebuilt with Qu Zhen's kindness, Qu Zhen's one hundred and eighty catties are the handsome, from now on, the handsome will be called to the east, Qu Zhen will never go west, go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up." ”

Wang Zhenyu still likes to listen to people to show his loyalty, but he still waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary to go to the soup to fight the fire, just use things with peace of mind." ”

Then the conversation changed: "I called you here, I really have important things to do." As you may have heard, I, Jihua, built a modern new city in Anjiang, dozens of miles east of the Hongjiang River, and this city will be the center of the entire Xiangxi in the future, not only commercially, but also politically. Our future is in this city, so building this city requires effort and care. My plan is to leave this matter to the two of you, Hanchuan is the main (Chen Shaozi Hanchuan), and this Qu Zhen is the auxiliary. The design proposal will be proposed by the German company Rite & Co., and you will be mainly responsible for reviewing and supervising the construction. This audit is very important, don't look at the Germans to be honest, they are doing business, there will definitely be false prices or something, you must learn to deal with them, bargain with them straightforwardly, there is no shame; Supervision is even more important, all projects are a century-old plan, do not be so-so, do it with conscience, and be responsible. You are in charge of the command, and the specific construction should listen to the ideas and suggestions of professionals, and the other is that the speed of the administrative region should be accelerated, and the entire model city and the administrative district should strive to be completed before the end of the year, and I hope to spend the New Year in this Anjiang. "Don't look at Wang Zhenyu is only 21 years old, but his actual age is almost fifty years old, plus he is in the top position, over time, he will be a little old-fashioned when he speaks.

But when I heard the ears of my subordinates, there was a sense of reliability, a sense of stability.

Chen Shao and Chen Quzhen immediately got up and said that they would do their best to live up to their trust.

On the issue of the construction of Anjiang New Town, Hans and Ye Zuwen of Lihe Foreign Bank have quietly negotiated and signed.

Lihe & Co. will provide a loan of 10 million yuan for this new city to hire Jishu personnel and purchase some materials (mainly decoration materials) that cannot be found locally, and Wang Zhenyu did not hesitate to buy this decoration material to Liu Hongsheng, the eldest brother.

Liu Guojun, who was arranged to work and study at Liu Hongsheng's office, also received the latest work arrangement and began to take charge of the introduction of textile mill and power company projects. According to Wang Zhenyu's assumption, once the introduction of these two projects is completed, Liu Guojun will come to Anjiang to take care of the factory for himself. These business things, at present, the martial artists under his command who can only lead troops to fight can't do it.

Before meeting Chen Shao and Chen Quzhen, Frankie also brought good news, Warby Bank approved his loan application, and from now, fifteen days later, 10 million pounds will enter his new account with Warby Bank. Later, when the branch of Warby Bank in Xiangxi is set up, the money will arrive together. And this money will become the basis for Wang Zhenyu's future issuance of banknotes, and the benefits it can produce are definitely not as small as 110 million silver dollars.

Felix, a native of Luxembourg, often talked to Ye Zuwen alone recently about a cooperation idea, and Ye Zuwen sorted it out and reported it to Wang Zhenyu.

Wang Zhenyu took a closer look and was overjoyed at that time. According to this Felix, he followed Prime Minister Paul Brown, who had been in power in Luxembourg for 27 years. Ischen was a relative of whom he had listened to Paul. Ischen had a great idea to build a new Luxembourg outside of Europe. It turned out that the situation in Europe in 1912 was already showing signs of tension, and France and Germany, two countries that had become feuds because of the Franco-Prussian War, began an arms race on an unprecedented scale. Sandwiched between France and Germany, Luxembourg, Europe's steel powerhouse, has less than one-twentieth of the land area of Xiangxi and less than one-twentieth of the population under Wang Zhenyu. For such a tiny kingdom to remain neutral between the two military powers would be nothing short of a dream. Paul. As the de facto ruler of the country for the past twenty-four years, Ischen had to plan for the future of the country, and among these many plans, it was a good choice to temporarily move some of the property, capital, offices, and residents away from the war-torn Europe. Felix thinks Xiangxi is a good choice, but Wang Zhenyu doubts that this guy can convince his prime minister's relatives that a second revolution would break out in 1913, and he would actively participate in this revolution to get enough dividends. When the time comes, the Luxembourgers will come all the way to China to take a look, and say, I just want to fight, you have done it directly, and it is safer for us to shrink into Europe.

Of course, Wang Zhenyu also has an idea, that is, to fool the steel industry in Luxembourg first, as long as the equipment is in place, what coal, iron, and then find a way. What was the most profitable in WW1? Steel, I have taken this step solidly, and the debt I owe now is not worth mentioning at all.

To this end, Wang Zhenyu proposed a joint venture of a steel plant, Jihua, to build the Anjiang Iron and Steel Plant, with Xiangxi Development Company and Luxembourg Albert Company each holding half shares, of which Luxembourg provided a full set of jishu and technicians. At the same time, in the construction of Xin'anjiang, Luxembourg will obtain a block of land for the construction of living quarters that can accommodate 50,000 people, provided that Luxembourg provides a loan of 20 million yuan to the Xiangxi Development Company. At the same time, it is noted that the loan does not have to be repaid once the Luxembourgers need the neighborhood.

I don't know if Luxembourg will agree, anyway, Felix left for China with the papers, and it is estimated that it will be two months later.

Shanghai, Rong Mansion, Liu Hongsheng and Liu Guojun are drinking haode green tea on the sofa in the living room, while looking at the Rong Mansion full of local flavor.

"Aha, who should I be, it turned out to be Liu Keding, Brother Liu! It's really a rare guest, a rare guest" Rong Zongjing, dressed in a long shirt and a melon skin hat, dressed as an old-fashioned businessman, walked into the living room with his younger brother Rong Desheng with a smile on his face.

To be honest, Rong Zongjing is very uninterested in Liu Hongsheng in a suit. In the past six months, Liu Hongsheng has almost become the most beautiful figure in the whole of Shanghai, and after the opening of Hongsheng Company, only a few months, it has seized two-thirds of the Shanghai coal market by relying on Kaiping coal. can almost be called the king of coal, but in the eyes of Rong Zongjing, who is fifteen years older, Liu Hongsheng is just an intermediary who makes the difference, which is different from himself who is engaged in industry to save the country. Today's scenery is even more nouveau riche and is not worth mentioning. These are not enough to make Rong Zongjing look down on Liu Hongsheng, what Rong Zongjing looks down on the most is actually Liu Hongsheng and Du Yuesheng of the Green Gang. This time in Boss Rong's heart, it will be a big drop, you must know that businessmen are the most taboo to deal with gangsters, because the rules of the two sides are different. Are you going to let people come according to your rules, or are you going to come according to other people's rules?

Liu Hongsheng also knew this, but he was entrusted by the third brother, so he had no choice but to bring Liu Guojun to come, but fortunately, the Rong family was still polite.

Liu Hongsheng smiled: "In front of Senior Rong, Hongsheng is just a clown who jumps off the beam. It stands to reason that Hongsheng didn't dare to come to the door to bother, but he was entrusted by someone to bring this Mr. Liu Guojun to meet Senior Rong, and hoped that Senior Rong would take care of him. ”

Rong Zongjing smiled and said: "I can't talk about care, Rong is good at making friends from all over the world, and everything that Rong can do is easy to say." ”

You have to understand this way, if you can't do it, it's hard to say.

Liu Guojun smiled slightly: "We want to set up China's largest textile factory in Hunan with Mr. Rong." ”

Before coming to see Rong Zongjing, Liu Guojun had carefully studied this person and knew that his personality was relatively deviated and he liked Gao Daquan, so he directly sent out an invitation to this point.

Sure enough, Rong Zongjing became interested: "How big is your biggest?" How many machines, how many spindles are produced per year? How to cooperate? ”

Liu Guojun immediately replied: "The share capital is 4.8 million, we will pay 3 million, half of the dividends, the right to operate belongs to you, 4,800 new cloth machines (an old cloth machine can only produce 30 spindles per year, this gap is too big, the data comes from the Hunan Spinning Mill founded in 1911), with an annual output of 480,000 spindles." What do you think? ”

Rong Zongjing smiled with a slight disdain: "Young man, don't be so big, 480,000 ingots, do you know how much Nissan is?" I'll tell you 120,000 catties, I'm very interested in knowing, where do you go to collect so many raw materials? ”

Liu Guojun smiled and said: "Elder Rong, seeing is believing, even if one of my juniors convinces you, do you dare to believe me?" It's better to go to Xiangxi and see the strength of my boss, and all the problems will be solved. ”

Rong Zongjing was also a cheerful person, and immediately replied: "Then I'll go to Xiangxi with you to see what the situation is?" ”

It's as simple as that, Liu Hongsheng was dumbfounded, and Rong Desheng seemed to know his eldest brother's personality very well, and he didn't look weird......
