Zhang Tinglan briefly communicated with Song Zhongyi, and found that this person has a good business acumen, courage, and most importantly, he has a sense of mission as a businessman, and he really puts industry to save the country in his heart.

Zhang Tinglan mainly relies on Qiao Ruixuan and Liu Shucheng in business, but they are both traditional businessmen and have never run a factory, while Song Zhongyi has been running a factory for more than five years and has rich experience, which is a rare talent.

In particular, Song Zhongyi was also completely discouraged by the Beiyang government, he had heard of the North Market, and now he has seen Zhang Tinglan again, although Fang is young, but his attitude is humble, calm and sophisticated, at first glance, he is a person who does big things, and he is worthy of refuge.

"Mr. Song, of course I welcome you to move the factory to Fengtian, but the ugly words are ahead, going to Fengtian is not to enjoy happiness, but to endure hardship. If you really want to build a strong country, we have to build steel mills, machine tool factories, tractor factories, and even shipyards to form a comprehensive industrial system. For this goal, each of us must put in our efforts, especially to obey the overall situation, and not to stare at our own gains and losses. ”

"Young Master Zhang, enduring hardships is nothing, the most difficult thing in these years is actually to deal with those officials and old men, two ends in three days, and you will be asked for money if you have a name. My factory is placed there, in their eyes, it is Tang monk meat, everyone wants to cut a piece down, the open gun and the hidden arrow are too much to prevent, and the mind is exhausted! ”

Song Zhongyi was very emotional when he said this: "Young Master Zhang, running a factory is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, I don't expect the government to help me, but I can't deliberately make trouble and drag my feet." China is rich in land and resources, we must work with one heart and one mind, do a good job, do you still need to look at the faces of foreigners! ”

"It's good that Mr. Song has this determination." Zhang Tinglan said: "I just don't know how big your factory is, is it easy to relocate?" ”

"Initially, I bought a British spinning machine, a total of 3,000 spindles, and then expanded to 5,000 spindles, and this time I am going to buy another 8,000 spindles, raising the textile mill to 13,000 spindles, and there are more than 1,200 workers, and it is also a big factory in the north." Speaking of this, Song Zhongyi patted his thigh fiercely, full of chagrin.

Although Zhang Tinglan did not know about the textile industry, he remembered that after Zhang Zuolin took charge of the Northeast, he once established the Fengtian Spinning Factory, with an initial scale of 10,000 spindles. If you count the newly purchased machines, Song Zhongyi's factory has surpassed the Fengtian Spinning Factory, and he can be regarded as a treasure this time.

With Song Zhongyi's factory, the starting point of Fengtian's textile industry will be raised by a large block, and Zhang Tinglan's face showed joy: "Mr. Song, can you still get the batch of machines you ordered?" ”

"Of course it can, it will be stored at the port of Tianjin, and as long as the funds are in place, it will be delivered immediately."

"That's good, since foreigners don't collect tickets for traffic travel, I'll give you 500,000 Russian rubles first, and you must keep the machine. Then the factory moved to Fengtian as a whole, and I paid for how much money it needed, and the main technicians of the factory were hired at high salaries, and ordinary workers who were willing to go to Fengtian were provided with accommodation and their salaries doubled. I have only one request, and that is to set up the textile mill as soon as possible! ”

There is a reason why Zhang Tinglan is so anxious, there are no large-scale textile factories in Fengtian and even the three eastern provinces, and the clothes of the common people are home-woven homespun cloth, not to mention that the homespun cloth in the northeast is not comparable with the foreign cloth, but it cannot be compared with the homespun cloth in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. However, now is the time when a large number of people enter the eastern part of the country, the population of the Northeast is growing rapidly, and the cloth needed is also rising sharply, which is a market with huge potential.

Especially when the First World War is still going on, there are not a few fabrics needed, and they can be quickly and completely relocated, put into production, and even find opportunities to open the international market, which is not Zhang Tinglan's concern.

"Zhang Shao, there is another problem, the original sales channels of the textile factory are all in the Guannei, and now it has moved to Fengtian, and the scale has expanded again, I am worried that it will not be able to sell it."

"Mr. Song, you don't have to worry about the problem of sales, I will do my best to solve it, and we want to sell the cloth to Europe and earn foreign exchange directly. At that time, we will buy the machine directly with foreign currency, and you will not be in this situation! ”

Zhang Tinglan was full of confidence, Song Zhongyi was also sure, the two sides were almost talking, Zhang Tinglan immediately took Song Zhongyi to the Liuguo Hotel, to provide him with funds, and at the same time to lead him to meet Zhang Zuolin, after all, he is still too young, if Lao Zhang expresses his position, Song Zhongyi can be more assured.

They hurried back to the Liuguo Hotel, and before they entered the hotel, they saw a large group of people gathered outside, Zhang Tinglan inquired, only to know that Wang Shizhen was also staying here temporarily, Yuan Keding personally sent Wang Shizhen over, they were also very coincidental, they met at the train station, and met again in the hotel.

The eldest prince treated Wang Shizhen very respectfully, after they went in, Zhang Tinglan went in to find Zhang Zuolin, as soon as Lao Zhang saw Zhang Tinglan come back, before he could speak, he asked him to immediately change into formal clothes and prepare the gifts. Lao Zhang wanted to buy Yuan Keding the most this time, so when he saw that Yuan Keding had also arrived at the Liuguo Hotel, Lao Zhang hurriedly ordered Yuan Jinkai to make an appointment.

Zhang Tinglan also knew that it was important to deal with the eldest prince, so he hurriedly followed Lao Zhang's instructions and made preparations. They waited at the door of the room for more than half an hour before Yuan Keding left Wang Shizhen's room and came to see Zhang Zuolin under the guidance of Yuan Jinkai.

Yuan Keding moved Wang Shizhen out, in fact, in order to replace Duan Qirui, Lao Yuan had the idea of becoming the emperor, so he first tested the tone of his subordinates, but only Duan Qirui clearly objected, so Lao Yuan was dissatisfied with this Duan Qirui.

However, Duan Qirui is known as the Tiger of Beiyang, with a very high prestige, and he is also the leader of the Beiyang Dynasty, and he has been in charge of the War Department since the Republic of China, with many cronies and deep-rooted. After thinking about it, Old Yuan felt that if he wanted to take down the tiger, he must use Jiaolong, so he instructed Yuan Keding to invite Wang Shizhen.

For the sake of Lao Yuan's great cause, Yuan Dagongzi was also willing to run around, and even did not hesitate to kneel, and finally invited Wang Shizhen, Yuan Keding felt that it was a great achievement, so he was proud.

At this time, Yuan Jinkai came to invite Yuan Keding on behalf of Zhang Zuolin, and the eldest prince knew that there was still a Master Zhang living in the Six Nations Hotel, and the old Yuan had always attached great importance to the local powerful faction, but Yuan Keding obviously did not take Zhang Zuolin in his eyes, after he received the invitation, the first thing he thought of was a gift, and there were too many people who befriended him during this time.

The eldest prince came to see Zhang Zuolin with the heart of the goods. At this time, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan were waiting at the door of the room, and from a distance, they saw a middle-aged man in his thirties hugging him.

"The eldest prince is here, it is an honor to be a lin!"

Yuan Keding is different from Yuan Shikai, he is very tall and good-looking, if it weren't for falling from a horse and breaking his leg, he would definitely be a beautiful man. When he saw that Zhang Zuolin was very deferential, he hurriedly grabbed Zhang Zuolin, but he waited until Zhang Zuolin bowed before pulling him, which was obviously a bit pretentious.

Yuan Keding said with a smile: "Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for three years, my demeanor is still the same, my father has long said that Fengtian has Master Zhang in charge, and it is as stable as a rock!" ”

Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing in the first year of the Republic of China, and that time he was promoted to the commander of the 27th Division, and Yuan Keding met him.

As soon as Lao Zhang saw Yuan Keding talking about the old things, he hurriedly showed a panicked look: "Zuo Lin was born recklessly, and he was able to be promoted to the high position of division commander, all thanks to the promotion of the president, Yuting didn't dare to forget it for a moment in his heart." ”

Zhang Zuolin said and invited Yuan Keding into his room, and after sitting down, Yuan Keding took the initiative to ask about the public opinion of Fengtian.

"Master Zhang, newspapers around the country have been discussing the issue of national sports recently, I wonder what the situation is in Fengtian?"

"Eldest son, Zuo Lin is a soldier and doesn't understand politics. However, I have heard many people mention this matter, and most of them say that the wisdom of our people has not yet opened, and the president is far-sighted, which is the hope of all the people, and everything depends on the will of the president, and as long as the president has a decision, the whole world will obey the order. ”

Yuan Keding nodded, he was still very satisfied with Zhang Zuolin's answer, he said: "I have been to Germany to study, and I found that the reason why Germany is strong is that it has implemented the constitutional monarchy system, the German emperor commands the whole country, and the country is strong and the people are rich, which is an example for China. It's just that there are always some villains in the country, who don't understand the international situation or the domestic people's feelings, and blindly oppose it, which is really hateful! ”

"The eldest prince, those people are all grasshoppers shaking trees, they can't do their best, the morale of the people is on the side of the president, they can't turn the sky." Lao Zhang gave Zhang Tinglan a look as he spoke, and Zhang Tinglan understood, and hurriedly handed a bank bill to Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang smiled and said to Yuan Keding: "Zuo Lin is deeply affected by the great president's grace, and he can't repay him, and he is willing to make a modest effort to help the eldest prince to see and hear the truth!" As he spoke, he sent the bank ticket to Yuan Keding

In Yuan Keding's impression, Fengtian has always been a poor province, and there is nothing commendable except for ginseng, but after he took the bank bill, his eyes also lit up.

Lao Zhang gave away 200,000 rubles at once, which is equivalent to 230,000 oceans, and the amount is definitely not small. Moreover, in this era, the Chinese's own money is always not strong with foreign currency, so Lao Zhang directly sent foreign currency, which made the grand duke very pleased, of course, he did not know that these rubles would become a pile of waste paper in the near future.

"Yuting, that's so kind! Mukden is not rich, how can I accept your gift! ”

From "Master Zhang" to "Yuting", the face is all on this bank ticket, Lao Zhang knows it, but he has to continue to pretend: "The eldest prince, as said, Fengtian is not rich, but our loyalty to the president is evident every day." In addition, I have some souvenirs to dedicate to the eldest prince! ”

As soon as Yuan Keding heard that Lao Zhang was going to continue to send things, his face also showed a smile of relief, at this time Zhang Tinglan had already asked people to offer gifts, first of all, two old ginseng, the largest one was more than nine taels.

As the saying goes, seven taels are ginseng, and eight taels are treasures. Old ginseng has the function of prolonging life, the more years there are, the better the medicinal effect, Zhang Zuolin in order to impress Yuan Keding, but he has made a lot of money. Yuan Keding was indeed moved, there was no such big ginseng in the presidential palace, and his impression of Zhang Zuolin was getting better and better.

Immediately afterwards, ten sea dragon hats and ten fox fur robes were all of the highest quality, the color was moving, soft and smooth, and when touched by hand, it was like caressing delicate satin.

Zuihou Zhang Tinglan asked two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls to bring in, and Yuan Keding's eyes suddenly straightened, and there was a blazing light in his eyes.
