The tram stopped at Huangsi Station, and the crowd poured down from merchants in suits and leather shoes, scholars in long robes, and more workers in light attire. However, although there are many people, it is not messy, and getting on and off the bus is very orderly.

Chen Jiageng also walked down with the flow of people, and followed closely behind his brother Chen Jingxian and Zhang Zi Chen Jimin. They were all southerners, and although they were already wrapped in thick cotton clothes and even wore leather robes, a cold wind blew, and they still felt cold from their bones.

"Dad, there's a car show market ahead, let's hurry up."

Chen Jiageng nodded, and the three of them walked forward quickly, bypassing a street corner, and saw a building covering a vast area, with several brand-new classic cars parked in the square in front, and there were many well-dressed and watching crowds around them.

Cars are still a very distant thing for ordinary people, and most of the people who can afford them are either rich or expensive. And the optional models are far less abundant than those of later generations, so there is no need to arrange swaggering and swaggering wild girls, as long as there is something, you can take it away directly.

"Dad, didn't I hear that the three eastern provinces can make their own cars, how can I see that the cars here are all American?"

When Chen Jimin was surprised, the service staff on the side said with a smile: "There are all foreign goods outside, and all domestic cars are inside, but some are unfortunate, some have been sold out, and only photos remain." ”

As soon as Chen Jiageng heard it, they immediately became interested, according to common sense, it can be put inside, which proves that the grade of the product is more advanced, is the domestic car better than the American product?

With questions, they followed the flow of people into the hall. I saw that there was even more crowd inside, and there were three models in the middle. At first glance, it suddenly dawns on the eyes that these three cars are not the monotonous colors of Ford's classic cars, and there are not many changes in style.

The middle one is dark red, with a streamlined body, beautiful and atmospheric, and the body is very wide, revealing full style. As soon as he saw this, Chen Jimin immediately secretly applauded. This appearance alone is better than that of American cars.

On the left is a dark blue car, which is smaller and more agile than the car in the middle, and has a feminine design. The other one is dark black. It has a low-key feel. Obviously, these models are aimed at different groups of people, and in the middle are the wealthy businessmen. The blue ones were aimed at the broad wives. As for the black one, it is some scholars and literati.

Chen Jiageng They don't know, these colors are not immutable, as long as you add a little more money, you can adjust it yourself. In this day and age, there is no doubt that it is a seller's market, take the famous Ford motor. Improvements are almost never made for the sake of consumers.

Love to buy, don't buy and fuck off. This is the domineering of monopoly! And Mukden's automobile industry, as a latecomer, wants to grab meat from the hands of the great powers. Win the market. Relying on the patriotism of the common people alone is definitely not enough, and we must have the competitiveness to do it.

Humanization and personalization are the main cards of Fengtian Automobile, with richer colors and more varied appearance and interior, and because of this, Fengtian Automobile has been widely praised as soon as it was launched, and it has been sought after by all parties at once.

Chen Jiageng circled around the car twice, nodded slightly, he is also a knowledgeable person, the workmanship of domestic cars is very meticulous, compared to the United States, and the appearance is far ahead of the Americans, it is understandable that it sells well.

Chen Jingxian and Chen Jimin couldn't stop rubbing their hands when they watched the car, and the Chinese could produce such a haode car, and they also felt extremely proud. Moreover, the Chen family has a large number of rubber plantations in Nanyang, and they are worried that they can't find a market.

"Big brother, the Northeast can make cars, this is a big thing, if we can open up the domestic market, even if our rubber plantation expands several times, we will not worry about sales."

Chen Jiageng was not as optimistic as his younger brother, he shook his head and said: "Don't you see that Fengtian's cars take the high-quality route, and the price is generally about half higher than that of American cars." You also know the domestic consumption power, which means that the production of automobiles will not be too much, and I am afraid that the consumption of rubber is also very limited. ”

When Chen Jingxian and Chen Jimin heard this, they immediately felt very reasonable, but they were still a little unwilling. At this moment, suddenly a person walked over quickly, far away, and shouted: "Uncle clan, the little nephew is late, I ask you for your guilt!" ”

It was Chen Qiming who came over, he was also born in a Nanyang overseas Chinese family, and there is still some kinship between him and Chen Jiageng.

"You kid ran to China, I don't know how many years I go home, I don't know if the big guys miss you!"

Chen Qiming's face also showed a look of guilt: "I'm so busy with work, I can hardly spare time, I should have greeted you when you arrived, but I couldn't get away at a critical time a few days ago!" ”

"Don't get in the way, we go south and north, and we are not afraid of losing it, the business matters."

Although Chen Jiageng did not know what Chen Qiming was specifically responsible for, he also knew that he worked for Fengjun. So it's very gratifying.

"Uncle clan, there's a lot of chaos here, let's go to the teahouse and have a good chat."

Chen Qiming led them through the dense layers of crowds, arrived at a three-story teahouse on the side, and went directly into the private room, and a few people sat down.

Chen Jimin said with a smile: "Brother Ming, I remember that you were born in chemistry, and I am afraid you have made a lot of achievements in Fengtian over the years, right?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Qiming's eyebrows furrowed, and a hint of relief appeared on his face: "Indeed, when I first came to Mukden, we could hardly build any weapons, and in the past few years, everything from bullets and rifles to airplanes and tanks has been available. I don't dare to say how much credit there is, at least there is a lot of sweat in it, and in life, I always have to do something meaningful. ”

"That's a good thing, I've been worried about national affairs over the years, but I've been running back and forth for many years, and I still haven't made many achievements, which makes people feel guilty."

"Uncle Clan, you are too polite, but I heard that you have built a lot of schools in Fujian, and you have also established Xiamen University as a sole proprietorship, which is quite a remarkable thing."

Chen Jiageng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Everything is easier said than done, and running a university is really not an easy thing at first sight." I came to the three eastern provinces this time, first, to inspect the market, and secondly, to ask for experience in running schools. ”

"Fengjun's school has always paid attention to practicality, especially emphasizing science and engineering, in addition, such as law, medicine, business, and foreign languages are also relatively popular, as for literature and history, the number is relatively small, and the quality of students is also uneven, because of this, it is also widely criticized."

"I see it differently." Chen Jiageng said loudly: "My original intention of running a school is to change the face of the country, simply put, is to develop industry, only when industry develops, the country has hope, and the development of industry, education is needed first, in other words, the cultivation of talents, should be practical, Fengjun does this, I think it is very correct." ”

Chen Qiming also smiled slightly: "Since Uncle Clan also sees it this way, I will take you to visit Fengtian University another day, maybe there will be a lot of gains." Uncle Fang just said that he still wants to inspect the market, I don't know what business you want to do? ”

"Of course it's rubber, we have tens of thousands of acres of rubber plantations in Nanyang, since the war, the need for rubber has decreased, not long ago I heard that the country can produce its own cars, can produce cars, it must be inseparable from rubber, so we thought about coming and seeing."

When Chen Qiming heard this, he immediately hahadaxiao: "Uncle Clan came just in time, Fengtian is now short of rubber, but 10,000 acres is still too little, if there can be 100,000, it's about the same!" ”

Chen Jimin was suddenly a little surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Ming, I don't think Fengtian's automobile production is much, how can it consume so much rubber?" ”

"You're wrong this time, it's not cars that consume the most rubber in Mukden, but agricultural vehicles. Dashuai has instructed the automobile industry, and the Chinese car consumer group is different from the United States. Americans are mass consumers, and ordinary citizens can afford to buy them, while those who can afford cars in China are all people who are either rich or expensive, and these people don't care about money, so they simply make cars more exquisite. As for the small agricultural tractor, it is the main production of Fengtian, the annual output has exceeded 30,000 units, and it is still increasing, in addition, the demand for military jeeps has also skyrocketed, how much rubber is needed, you can imagine! ”

When Chen Jiageng heard this, he was also very emotional: "Sure enough, the development of the Northeast is beyond imagination, and it is no wonder that it can defeat such a powerful country as Russia and Japan." We, overseas Chinese, have been bullied a lot, and we are looking forward to a strong motherland to rely on. Originally, I pinned my hopes on Sun Wen and others, but I didn't expect that the Northeast was the real hope. ”

"Uncle clan, overseas Chinese, if you want to change your own situation, you can't just pin your hopes on others, but also work hard yourself?"

"How can you work hard, can you let a group of unarmed people fight against the military and police thugs?" Chen Jingxian sighed and said: "In recent years, there have been anti-China incidents in Java and other places, and how many Chinese businessmen have been killed and their property has been plundered. ”

Chen Qiming said with a smile: "It is definitely not possible to do it with bare hands, but don't forget, Fengjun can produce anything now." ”

Chen Jiageng's mind was spinning rapidly, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately asked: "Are you saying that the Feng army is willing to arm overseas Chinese and provide us with weapons?" ”

Chen Qiming nodded and said with a smile: "The marshal has already told me, willing to vigorously arm the overseas Chinese in Nanyang, the status and dignity are fought by iron and blood, if the children of overseas Chinese are willing to endure hardships, they can go to the three eastern provinces to receive the most rigorous military training, and then return to Nanyang to fight for ourselves!"
