"Mr. Kuang, if there is any trouble, if anyone dares to touch my gold, I will ask for his head!"

Zhang Tinglan is ready to vigorously develop Jilin, how can it be done without enough funds, the gold mine in Jiapigou is the biggest source of wealth at present, and there must be no problems.

Don't look at Zhang Tinglan's hands of countless industries, but there are not many that can be used, and he can't sacrifice Fengtian for the development of Jilin, calculate and calculate, in addition to Jilin's financial revenue, he can mobilize no more than five million yuan of capital, this money is stored in the family, it is a small mountain, but to engage in local construction, it is a drop in the bucket.

Zhang Tinglan definitely dares to claim to be the richest man in the three eastern provinces, but his capital gap is also the largest among all, there are too many things to do, and the money in his hands is always not enough!

Kuang Rongguang also rarely saw Zhang Tinglan in such a hurry, and he didn't know if he could easily solve the problem, and said with a smile: "There are two kinds of trouble, the first is that the gold mine has been taken first, since the late Qing Dynasty, the Manchu court began to mine gold, and the initial gold production was for the royal family, and then the Shili of Tsarist Russia went deep into the three eastern provinces, and they also began to mine, so if you want to mine the gold mine in Jiapigou, you must first completely drive the Russians away!" ”

Zhang Tinglan nodded when he heard this, if he wants to develop in Mukden, he must continue to fight openly and secretly with the Japanese, and after arriving in Jilin, this object will become Russia, in short, if you don't drive these powers away, don't think about developing with peace of mind, but fortunately, Russia is declining, and it is already over, and it is easier to deal with them.

"Mr. Kwong, were the Russians who occupied the gold mines sent by the tsarist government?"

"It's not." Kwong Rongguang shook his head and continued: "Since the Russo-Japanese War, the Russians have declined badly. Thieves are rampant in the area of Jiapigou, and there are not many of the original miners who have escaped. The Russians also lacked sufficient funds, and the ditch was not located along the railway, so only a few Russian merchants mined there. ”

"That's easy to do, these guys dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, I won't let them eat and walk around!"

"Don't be foolish, even though it's just some merchants, and they regularly give gifts to the Russian commander Horvat. Let's take a strong action, and the Russians will definitely not sit idly by. ”

"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with that bearded man, he can play with others, but don't try to be arrogant in front of me. I'm clutching his pigtails! Mr. Kwong, let's talk about the second trouble. I'll figure it out. All worked out together. ”

Kuang Rongguang also knew that Zhang Tinglan had great powers, and now that he was so sure, Kuang Rongguang didn't say anything, just do things himself.

"The second trouble is that the mining jishu is backward, and there is a lack of machinery such as gold panning ships, so it all relies on manual washing. Production is naturally very limited, and in order to achieve an annual production of two tons, it is necessary to get gold mining machinery. ”

Machines are a real nuisance, as long as you want to develop minerals. It is inseparable, otherwise relying on the local method to pan for gold, not only is it inefficient, but also slow, and it will definitely not meet the needs.

"Mr. Kwong, how much do you think the gold mining equipment costs?"

"I estimate that at least three sets of equipment are needed, and not only Jiapigou, there are also many gold mines in other areas of Jilin, two or three gold panning ships are needed, and in areas where gold panning ships cannot be used, there are also excavation, selection, crushing, washing, refining equipment, all added up, no 1.5 million is definitely not enough, and a lot of labor is required."

Zhang Tinglan also scratched his head when he heard that it would cost so much, he thought that with the gold mine, he would be able to reap huge profits, but he forgot that the initial investment in gold mining was quite large, and he did not have sufficient capital, so he could only hold the basin and dangle back and forth in the water.

"Mr. Kuang, do you see if there is a way to get some second-hand equipment cheaper, we are poor now, so we can only pick up the rags."

Kuang Rongguang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Humble words, gold mines have always been the most eye-catching, and the machines must be purchased from the great powers, they will definitely slaughter us, and I am even worried that they know that there are big gold mines in the Northeast, and these people will not interfere and want to get into their own hands." ”

This is indeed the truth, in the past, when Zhang Tinglan studied history, semi-colonial was the most familiar word, but only in this era did he really understand what it meant to be semi-colonial. The great powers are the emperors, they are the living ancestors, they have to meddle in any good things, and they will not let go of any interests.

Don't look at the dog-eat-dog they can eat dog in Europe for the sake of profit, but in the position of plundering China, the great powers still have a tacit understanding, and the huge China is just a piece of fat that they want.

"Mr. Kwong, do the Russians have gold mining equipment in the Far East?"

"Yes, there are quite a few of them!" Kuang Rongguang said this, his face also showed a trace of desolation, and said in a deep voice: "The area with the most gold production in the Russian Far East is the Outer Northeast, which was originally our territory, but it was robbed by the Russians and became their cash cow, and seventy or eighty percent of the gold of the Russian government is mined from the Far East, which is really a shame for the country and the nation." ”

Listening to Kuang Rongguang's words, Zhang Tinglan's eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth showed a hint of a smile, and said to Kuang Rongguang: "Mr. Kuang, don't worry, I will solve these two troubles for you together." ”

"Clumsy words, since you have a way, then I don't have to worry, speaking of an old bone, I can't stand the non-stop tossing, I also have to rest."

"It's true that you can't be tired alone, the three eastern provinces are so big, there are too many places that need to be inspected, and there must be enough manpower to investigate!"

"The Institute of Mining and Metallurgy has been established, the first batch of students have been recruited, let them learn some basic courses first, I found a few previous students, they will soon come to Mukden, and when the students have a foundation, we will take them to the field separately, study and practice combined, there are a few years of exercise, and they will be able to take charge of themselves!"

"It's all up to your hard work, if you need anything, just tell me, ask for money for money, and ask people to give people."

"Haha, doing things with Humble Yan, that's all it takes, no matter how tired you are, you're not afraid. I need to be comfortable, I don't have to think about those useless power struggles, and I can do it for at least 20 years. ”

China has never lacked talent, but lacked a suitable platform, and what Zhang Tinglan wants to do most now is to create such a platform, so that all talents can do their best to quickly develop the three eastern provinces.

"Mr. Kuang, it is definitely not easy to investigate in the field, I was negligent before, I will assign you a few guards, and only then will you have an emergency doctor, so that accidents can be avoided."

"It's a little too much, I'm in good health, and I heard that there are not enough doctors in the army, so I can't afford to have a doctor."

"Sir, the resource investigation in the Northeast has fallen on you, if there is a little risk, the loss is not only money, but more importantly, time, this is a thing that is difficult to change, if you really feel that you can't afford it, help us find more useful mineral deposits."

Kuang Rongguang nodded, and said with a smile: "This arrangement is to make me work hard, it's okay, in the first half of my life, I did things under the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I had more time to talk about it, and less time to do practical things, and now I should fight hard to make up for the lost time!" ”

After talking with Kuang Rongguang, Zhang Tinglan already had a full plan for mining the Jiapigou gold mine, and what he needed most now was to hurry north and return to Jilin.

However, this time it is not enough to go to Jilin, Zhang Zuoxiang is already a legitimate Jilin overseer, the Shuai Mansion is about to move to Jilin, Hua Futian and other aunts and wives, as well as Zhang Tinglan's younger brothers and sisters, as well as those who have just been weaned, all have to move to Jilin.

At the beginning, in order to cope with the pressure of the Japanese, Zhang Tinglan brought a brigade of soldiers from Fengtian, and now they have to be brought back to Jilin to manage the place and deter the Russians.

Lao Zhang had already determined that Chen Qiming's explosives factory would be moved to Jilin, and the original Fengcheng Arsenal would also be moved there, and then a new No. 2 Arsenal of the Three Eastern Provinces would be formed in Jilin, and the original Fengtian Arsenal would become the No. 1 Arsenal of the Three Eastern Provinces.

Moreover, in addition to these, the Fengtian Industrial Group will build a branch in Jilin to absorb businessmen from Jilin into the group, and the industrial group is still brewing to expand into an industrial group of the three eastern provinces, and the Fengtian Bank will also send some people to go over to set up branches. Wang Yongjiang specially transferred a group of officials from Fengtian to Jilin.

In all aspects, all of them add up, the relocation work is definitely a huge project, and when Zhang Tinglan was busy, Song Zhongyi suddenly came over.

"To put it mildly, Mr. Zhou and Mr. Fan have been with me for several days, and after a few circles in Fengtian, Mr. Fan is very satisfied with the investment environment in Fengtian and wants to talk to you about the development of the chemical industry, and then he is ready to move the factory here."

"That's a good thing, I'll go over and see it right away!"

Song Zhongyi's face showed a little embarrassment, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Fan told me a long time ago, he doesn't dare to work with you, he wants to come over in person, how do you know that Master Wu won't do it, so he has to let you go." ”

"Respect the old and love the young, it should be!"

"Don't pretend to be stupid with me, Lao Song is not stupid, do you have a crush on my niece?" Song Zhongyi smiled proudly: "Speaking of which, Yaoyao is not bad, she has the virtue of a traditional Chinese girl, and the characteristics of a new-school girl, not publicity, not conservative, you two are the most suitable!" ”

"Old Song, when did you change careers and get old?"

"Actually, I really want to be this old man, but my weight is not enough, you go over with me this time, just stop by and talk to Master Friday, and seek his consent first, even if other people in the Zhou family don't agree, you won't elope!"

Zhang Tinglan used to regard Song Zhongyi as a loyal person, but now that he sees it, this guy is also treacherous, and he is really treacherous, but this proposal is really good.

Zhang Tinglan also happily followed Song Zhongyi to his home and met the demeanor of the Zhou family. (To be continued......)
