in Qingdao

Zhao Qishan has been a top aristocratic circle boss from a baron, and there are two military barons here in Qingdao, who are far inferior to Sir Zhao in terms of social influence and financial resources, but their titles are hereditary, and they are more than one head higher than lifelong nobles.

From the heart

Of course, Zhao Qishan hopes that his baby daughter Zhao Yinger will marry the Lu family, you must know that Lu Qiang's baronial title is hereditary, and this alone killed a few reckless boys of Ma Weimin's family in seconds, and he didn't stop a few streets.

Ma Min is just a wealthy businessman, and he doesn't have any noble titles.

Money is no longer attractive to Zhao Qishan, and if you really want to talk about money, Ma Weimin is far from being able to compare with the Zhao family.

Not to mention the increasingly prosperous Qingdao Port, Zhao Qishan is one of the major shareholders of the individual second only to Mack's father (the controlling shareholder is Pacific Steamship Company), and the family also has a strong enterprise like Dongfanghong Machinery Company, which is making money every day, and money is just a number for him, which does not mean much.

What's more, Lu Qiang's son Lu Hanfeng has just returned from Oxford University in the United Kingdom, and has passed the selection of the royal family as a trainee secretary, and he may become a trainee secretary of the royal secretariat in the future, and his future is quite ambitious.

In comparison, Ma Weimin's eldest son is just a second lieutenant in the army, and the second son and younger son are both students, and the gap is too far.

Zhao Qishan is such a precious daughter Zhao Yinger, and the family wealth and everything in the future will be inherited by her daughter, of course, she must choose a good in-law.

As for the poor boy he said, just listen to it as a joke, but don't take it seriously.

When people reach middle age, there are a lot of interest considerations in the relationship, and they become not as pure as when they were young.

The next day, in a luxury manor on the outskirts of Qingdao

This is the luxury manor of the Lu family, as a new aristocrat in China, a famous tobacco tycoon in Xixiangzhou, Sir Lu has a large number of industries in Lumen City, and has family industries in several important cities in Australia, or shops, castles or manors.

At this moment, in the study, the Lu father and son were having a private conversation.

"Hanfeng, in the past few days when I have been in contact with Ying'er, can I remember the romantic and warm things when I was young." Lu Qiang has a neat and beautiful beard, and he holds a cigar cigarette in his hand and takes a puff from time to time, which is very aristocratic style.

Lu Hanfeng sat on the chair in a proper manner, and said with a wry smile when he heard this; "Dad, don't mention this stubble, when we were together on several ranches, Ying'er was just a little girl with a runny nose, and then she slipped and sucked it back, I finally forgot about it, and you hooked it out again."

"Hehehe...... The eighteenth change of the female college, Ying'er is very beautiful, isn't it still to your liking? ”

"Dad, sometimes men and women are not beautiful or not beautiful together, that has to be fate, I also saw many beautiful women when I was studying in the UK, but I never had that feeling of liking."

"Nonsense, just marry home and cultivate slowly."

"Alas...... Daddy, how can I tell you? Lu Hanfeng was suddenly anxious, he was an intellectual with foreign higher education, and he was inevitably influenced by the French neo-romantic trend, pursuing freedom and love, hoping to marry someone he loved.

But in the face of his father, who doesn't read much, he feels that he has nowhere to go.

"Don't say it, this matter has been decided between Dad and your Uncle Zhao, doesn't Dad know that it's just those things of love and love, and there are still fewer performances in the play? Don't think that a little foreign ink in your stomach is better than your father, your father can tell you that this Zhao Yinger must be married back to be the main room, and my father has already decided. Lu Qiang waved his hand a little impatiently, and only then could he see his decisiveness in resolutely going to Xixiangzhou to start a business again, that kind of extremely courageous side.

Lu Hanfeng was really reluctant in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey his father's will, he knew that his father had come all the way to Australia to find a way out, and it was not easy to run a huge family business for so many years.

His father is like a tall monument that he deserves to look up to for the rest of his life.

Seeing Lu Hanfeng bowing his head and not saying a word, the irritability in Lu Qiang's heart decreased slightly, he took a heavy puff of his cigar and puffed it out, and said in a solemn tone; "Hanfeng, do you think that my father wants to marry this family because he wants to take care of the friendship between the two families, and he also likes the wealth of the Zhao family?"

"Dad, what's not this?" Lu Hanfeng asked.

"Hmph, then you underestimate your father too much, how can my Lu family say that it is also one of the top tobacco plantation owners in Xixiangzhou, there are 6 tobacco factories under the family, at the time of the Civil War, my Lu family donated 10,000 boxes of cigarettes in one go, and this handwriting is unique in the entire overseas state. The property of the Zhao Mansion is a remarkable number in the eyes of others, and in my case, it is average, there are not many of him, and there is not much of him. ”

"Then why did you make me have to marry Ying'er?"

Lu Qiang let out a long sigh, walked to the window and stared out, his figure looked a little gloomy, and said in a light tone;

"Child, your father has not had any talent to go against the sky, but because he knows how to recognize people and discern situations, so that he has today's glory.

I think I, Lu Qiang, a child from a poor family, came to Australia to pan for gold with the dream of making a fortune, if I didn't know about the group, I would have died under the gun of a white cowboy.

I have two noble people in my life, one is Daddy Mack, who encouraged us to buy a ranch and start a new life, laying the foundation for success.

One is Li Sixian, the mayor of Qingdao Town, when he was the director of the Koi Mining Bureau, I followed him to Xixiangzhou for development, which led to today's big scene.

Now we can say a lot in Lumen City, Xixiang Prefecture, and to put it mildly, all cities in the entire Jinshui River Basin should give a little face.

However, the development of Xixiangzhou has touched the roof, and it can only waste time if it continues, and it is difficult to have further development.

Dad is old, so he can only help you keep this foundation in Lumen City.

No matter how good the development in overseas states is, it is also a hillbilly, and if you really want to show your strength, you have to be in Australia, and this requires a foundation, Zhaofu's industry is rooted in the machinery industry, which is what we urgently need.

So the third noble person in my life, do you know who it is? ”

Lu Hanfeng replied with some hesitation; "It can't be my Uncle Zhao, right?"

"Fart, what kind of noble man is he, according to His Majesty's words; At best, it's just a pig standing in the wind. Lu Qiang's face was full of disdain, and then he said; It's Ying'er, she is the third noble person in our Lu family. ”

"Dad, why?"

Lu Hanfeng's surprise was not trivial, and he couldn't help blurting out a question.

Lu Qiang, who was standing at the window, turned around at this time, his eyes contained the cunning of a Chinese peasant, and there was still a bit of aristocratic elegance.

He said with a sneer;

"As the old saying goes, people have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries.

You can't just focus on the interests within reach, just like your uncle Ma Weimin, who was short-sighted and short-sighted, and now he is just a small rich businessman, and he is nothing in Qingdao.

Ying'er, as the sole heir of the Zhao Mansion, is the key to your controlling stake in Dongfanghong Machinery Company.

Zhao Qishan doesn't know anything in the company, he is asked to take care of professionals, if you and Ying'er get married, it will be half of Zhao's house, plus you are an elite who has returned from abroad, and it is logical to meddle in the affairs of Dongfanghong Machinery Company.

If you don't let your own family take care of your own business, how can there be such a reason in the world?

And Ying'er is also the heir of Mack's father, as one of the largest landlords in Qingdao, Mack Ranch contains benefits that you can't imagine, even if I have to be moved.

The most important thing is Dongfanghong Machinery Company, my father is one of the minority shareholders, and I was able to participate in the board of directors and learned a lot of information, which was really eye-opening and strengthened the confidence of the two marriages.

First of all, the products produced by this company are of a strong military nature, and some countries in Europe have purchased tracked tractors for towing artillery, and some countries have built ironclad vehicles on this basis, which has considerable political influence.

This is a machinery company that the kingdom military focuses on, and has had a good experience of cooperation before, even if there are many machinery companies, if there is another war, who will you choose to cooperate? ”

"Uh...... Dongfanghong Machinery Company? Lu Hanshan's tone was a little uncertain.

Lu Qiang glared at him and said solemnly; Of course, only Dongfanghong Machinery Company, one of the company's important shareholders, is the tank's designer, Professor He Zuguang, who is now leading the scientific research team to develop more advanced medium tanks.

From equipment to plant personnel, Dongfanghong Machinery Company is undoubtedly the best candidate for the production of tracked tanks.

The machinery industry is not the production of cigarettes, buy some equipment back to produce, there are many twists and turns, the technical threshold is also very high, but not every company can get started.

If the War Department is ready to mass-produce medium tanks, Dongfanghong Machinery Company will be selected and seize this opportunity to win good contacts in the War Department.

According to the old saying, this is the imperial merchant!

If His Majesty launches a large-scale war again, the opportunity of Dongfanghong Machinery Company will come, and when the time comes, it will be possible to win a viscount, not to mention a baron.

What's the use of making more money?

The title is the foundation of the family heirloom from generation to generation, as long as there is the slightest chance to climb up, the Lu family must not give up. ”

"Dad, what you said is too mysterious, when will there be a war!"

"Stinky boy, you learn a little, it's more tender than you with your father!" Lu Qiang walked back and forth in the study for a few steps, clasped his fists towards the sky with both hands, and then said proudly; "That majesty in the Red Fort can be said to be the reincarnation of the Martial Saint, the heavenly killing star descends to earth, and it is difficult to produce a hero in 500 years, are you still afraid that there will be no battle? Pinch your fingers and count, how many battles have been fought from the first East Indies War to the present? The Battle of Makiko in the Ryukyu Islands has just ended, and the border of Africa is fighting again, do you dare to say that there will be no war in the future? ”

In front of the facts

Lu Hanshan was really convinced, stood up and fell to the ground with respectful hands, and said; "Dad, everything is up to your old man, and the child is disrespectful."

"Good, great goodness, hahahaha......" At this time, Lu Qiang no longer played a funny role in the gag in front of his brothers, and between his eyes opening and closing, he showed an unusually shrewd look.
