The next morning, the thirty-six families unanimously decided to invest in the Puyang Oil Field. After some financing, they actually raised more than four million silver dollars. This had to catch Wang Maoru off guard. Everyone was so enthusiastic that it actually made him Not enough investment. He initially invested 1.53 million to occupy 51% of the shares, but now 1.53 million only accounts for 17% of the shares. He had to increase his capital by 2 million, and Zhao Jiacheng, Zhang Zuolin, Pu Ji and others also had intentions to invest more. Originally planned The capital increase of 6 million became 7.2 million, and the total investment in Puyang Oilfield reached 10.2 million silver dollars.
After the total investment amount was determined, the shares of each company were gradually determined. Wang Maoru held 34.6% of the shares and continued to be the largest shareholder. Among the others, the one who invested the most was actually the former warlord of Guizhou, Wang Jialie. Wang Jialie actually invested almost all of his net worth, 720,000 silver dollars, in the Puyang oil field. Wang Jialie's 720,000 silver dollars were the money he earned from searching for years in Guizhou and growing tobacco in Guizhou for eight years. This money was enough for him to enjoy two years of life. However, Wang Jialie made a desperate move and decided to invest in the Puyang Oil Field to launder his black money.
In fact, after the unification of the country, many warlords began to launder the wealth collected by former warlords. After Wang Maoru launched the land policy, it restricted the emergence of big landowners, and at the same time, the warlords did not know how to spend the money in their hands. . Then factories began to be built all over the country, and everyone invested their money in factories or deposited them in banks.
Wang Jialie¡¯s choice is correct, which will increase his wealth several times. For Wang Jialie, laundering wealth is of course one aspect, but on the other hand, as his former opponent, Wang Jialie also feels uneasy. Fear of being liquidated. Just like when he first received the invitation from Wang Maoru to attend the meeting of the Thirty-six Family Alliance, he was so frightened that he even thought that Wang Maoru wanted to kill him to silence him, because when he was a warlord, he had plundered people's wealth and planted opium to absorb people's fat and oil. Wang Maoru could kill him. Calm down public grievances.
After Wang Jialie lost his military power, he was particularly worried about being hunted down. He believed that the consequences of force would be the fear that he would suffer all day long after losing force. There are as many as thirty-nine bodyguards around him, but he is still worried that he will be liquidated by the government. Therefore, after Wang Maoru's envoy handed him the letter, Wang Jialie hurriedly sold his land, real estate, and some properties to raise one million silver dollars. Of course he knew that even if he left. There is no way to escape the pursuit of the National Defense Forces. The first-level fatwa of the National Defense Forces implicates the whole family, and the whole world will pursue him until death. The purpose of Wang Jialie's raising the money is to buy his life and a way to survive.
But this time there was no need for Wang Jialie to buy his life, he got on Wang Maoru's boat. After becoming a "Chinese partner", as long as Wang Jialie's family shares are held for one day, Wang Maoru and his group must protect him.
There are many other people with the same mindset. Even Zhang Zuolin increased his investment to 400,000 silver dollars, accounting for 4% of the total shares. Others also bought more or less shares.
Puyang Oilfield also had enough start-up capital and immediately restarted construction on the 17th day of the first lunar month. After recruiting German workers, recruiting farmers around Puyang, and absorbing young students from all over the country, Puyang Oilfield became the first A truly private enterprise group, and renamed China Oriental Petrochemical Group. Dongfang Petrochemical Group's industry not only involves petroleum refining, but also involves the processing and reproduction of chemical products, as well as various high-tech chemical projects. Of course, because of the importance of Dongfang Petrochemical Group. As the chairman of Don Petroleum, Wang Maoru proposed technological protection to the government and was immediately approved by Prime Minister Gu Weijun. Immediately moved into the Third Armed Police Brigade of Zhili in Puyang, responsible for protecting the safety of Dongfang Petroleum Group's Puyang oil field and hundreds of chemical plants.
In order to cultivate company talents, Dongfang Petroleum invested in the establishment of China Oriental Petrochemical University in Beida Ming County, Puyang County. Cultivate a large number of chemical engineering talents for the company group and the country.
After the Dongyou oil incident ended, the Thirty-Six Family Alliance of Xuanyuan Hall was officially established. At the same time, it also established some rules. For example, it was not allowed to commit adultery and crimes with bad morals and ugly behavior, so as not to embarrass the family. If found, it would be removed immediately. . China's interests are not allowed to be sold to foreign countries. The interests of aristocratic families are based on a stronger country. If they increase their family's wealth at the expense of the country, they will be expelled immediately and suffer widespread retaliation. After the framework was worked out, the time, place and host of the next family meeting were discussed.
Wang Maoru proposed that this family meeting should be held once a year. Of course, it is not necessary for the family head to participate in the meeting. The next heir of each family is also qualified to attend the meeting on behalf of the family head. This proposal immediately received everyone's support. Then there was a dispute over the location of the next year's family heads meeting. Everyone wanted to hold it in their own place. For these thirty-six aristocratic families, it would take thirty six years for their turn to be held once a year. The argument couldn't be settled, so Wang Maoru said it would be better to draw lots and wrote thirtyThe six slips of paper were drawn by Li Jingfang, the eldest son of Li Hongzhang.
Li Jingfang smiled with a strong accent from Anqing, Anhui Province: "I didn't expect that I could still have this effect even though I'm old." Then he took out a piece of paper, put on his myopia glasses, took a closer look, and said, "Everyone , Stop arguing, this lucky guy has come out, he is -" He looked around and deliberately let it slip. Everyone couldn't help but laughed and said: "Mr. Li Ge, please stop teasing us." Mr. Li Ge It is the honorific title of Li Hongzhang. Calling Li Jingfang, who is nearly seventy years old, Li Gelao is also a respectful title for him. Seeing that everyone was funny and angry, Li Jingfang couldn't help but laugh. He felt like a naughty old man and said: "Okay. , I won¡¯t tell you anything, this lucky guy is not far from my home, Songhuzhou, Huanghuangrong."
After arriving at the Family Alliance meeting, Huang Huangrong didn't speak much. After all, any one of them was far more important than him. He was able to participate in this meeting because of his early support for Wang Maoru of the National Defense Force and his promotion from the Qing Gang. Bai, develop the cause of Jiangyun. When it comes to wealth, there are no less than ten people in Songhuzhou who are richer than him. The wealth of Yu Qiaqing alone is several times that of his. However, the reason why Yu Qiaqing was not invited is very simple. He is from the Democratic Party. Huang Jinrong is glad that he did not and No party goes too close or too far. People said that he was a big gangster, but Huang Huangrong had already seen clearly the situation and wanted to clear his identity. Taking advantage of this hard-won opportunity, the short fat man suddenly beamed with joy and said: "Everyone, everyone, I am Tian. As the next organizer of the Thirty-Six Family Alliance of Xuanyuan Hall, I will definitely not let you down next year."
After discussing the time again, everyone felt that the first month of the year was not good, as everyone was busy celebrating the New Year, and if the venue was in the north, the road would be difficult in the first half of the year, so after discussing it, we decided that the first day of the eighth lunar month of each year would be the best, as autumn is high and horses are fertile. Well, I decided happily.
After the two-day Family Alliance meeting, Wang Maoru began to focus on working at the Presidential Palace again. At this time, he learned that the Indian uprising had occurred in British India. He secretly thought about the same period in history. It seemed that Indians only sporadically There were small uprisings, but the largest movement was the Satyagraha movement of non-violence started by Gandhi, and India peacefully became independent. In this era, under the instigation of my own big butterfly, a violent revolution actually occurred in India. It is really an interesting piece of history.
At this time, the British Ambassador to China, MacRay, was embarrassed to convey a private letter from King George V of the United Kingdom. In the private letter, he hoped that China and Britain could be good neighbors and friendly, and hoped to eliminate misunderstandings and release those young men.
Wang Maoru immediately said that the disputed area between us
Maclay immediately said: "The British Empire is not interested in the Yeren Mountain. The British recognize that the Chinese government has interests in Jiangxinpo, Yeren Mountain, the Mengmao Triangle (Nankan), the Awa Mountains, the Banhong area, the Pianma area, and the Hugang Valley. We have sovereignty. However, the local indigenous people should be given due respect, and the local ethnic characteristics and life characteristics should be maintained. Moreover, we hope that these areas will become buffer zones for China and Britain, and both sides will not send soldiers into the area. This is our British This is the bottom line that the empire can win.¡±
Wang Maoru thought for a while and smiled: "Having sovereignty does not mean actual ownership, so be it, and I don't agree with the buffer zone issue you raised. Since it is a sovereign area owned by China, how can it become a buffer zone for China and Britain? ?I will never allow foreign artillery shells to fall on China¡¯s sovereign territory. Let¡¯s do this. We can promise that China will not send national defense forces into areas such as Jiangxinpo, Hugang Valley, and Mengmao Triangle, so as not to stimulate the conflict between the two sides. Emotion. We only send police."
Maklay thought for a while and said: "This is beneficial to both of us, and we can accept it. Because we don't want to see a lot of ethnic problems on the Sino-British Myanmar border, that's why we don't want your country to be in Savage Mountain Troops will be stationed, and our country will also give the local Wa and Dai people a high degree of autonomy around Yeren Mountain, and respect the Malay ethnic groups"
"Wait a minute, Your Excellency the Ambassador." Wang Maoru immediately interrupted him and said, "The Wa and Dai people are not Malays. If you like Chinese history, I can tell you about the origins of the Wa and Dai people. Their ancestors are not Malays. , but originated from the Chiyou tribe in China." Wang Maoru thought in his mind that he confuses our ethnic minorities with Malay monkeys. Isn't this killing people?
Makrei did not expect this history. He smiled and said: "It seems that Asian history is really complicated."
Wang Maoru said: "Actually, it's not complicated at all. You have to know that almost all races in Asia are descendants of the Chinese nation. Other races are all descendants of monkeys." Makrei couldn't help laughing, but But in his heart, he made an arrogant and nationalistic evaluation of Wang Maoru. This kind of nationalist is the most difficult to deal with. They will not be moved by money and beautiful women.?He does everything he can and is really not a good opponent.
