Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Feeling uneasy and puzzled, Zeng Yijing and his development team left in a hurry and went to Jinhua.  As for the tractor factory being put into production, he will not take care of this kind of thing. He is originally a technician, a technician who develops engines. The process from research and development to production is the business of the managers and has nothing to do with him.  He will not be tempted or care about an industry that was created because of a design that failed in his eyes.  ¡°It¡¯s just that Wang Xueqian mentioned the future focus of the engine factory many times during the conversation with him, which made him a little inexplicably nervous.  ¡°Wang Xueqian will continue to cut off research and development projects in the next few years just because the aircraft factory does not make money.  This is what worries him the most.  As for Wang Xueqian asking him to go back and make several tractor prototypes He felt that there might not be much market space for such a crude machine, so let his men do it!  According to his own wishes, he didn¡¯t even plan to build a prototype. If it weren¡¯t for Wang Xueqian¡¯s repeated urging, Zeng Yijing would have hung up the design and put it in the warehouse.  But who made Wang Xueqian the big boss?  He has the final say in everything.  Compared with Zeng Yijing, Song Ziwen has been a little confused recently. He always feels that Gu Weijun, a senior at Columbia University, is a bit sneaky and makes people suspicious.  Especially when they met Hoover and Gu Weijun chatting together several times recently, if Song Ziwen appeared, the two of them would stop talking as if they had agreed.  Of course, he would not be left alone. Hoover traveled extensively and visited many places around the world.  Gu Weijun was a diplomat and had been to many places. The two of them could talk for a whole day just about the names of the places they had visited.  This made Song Ziwen suspicious. Seeing that Gu Weijun was a senior, he completely forgot about it.  Among the international student unions in the United States, the scale is not large to begin with.  A full attack would only amount to one or two thousand people.  This already includes Gengzi students, as well as self-financed students studying in the United States, children studying in the United States sent by the early Qing government, etc. There are very few doctorate recipients like Wang Xueqian and Song Ziwen.  If you are in an Ivy League school, the number is even less.  Even so, if you want to get the praise of an outstanding graduate from one of these prestigious schools, the number can almost be described as rare.  Wang Xueqian, Song Ziwen, Wei Tingsheng and others are just ordinary graduates, and they don't even have the chance to stay in school.  It is definitely rare for people like Zhao Yuanren to be able to serve as lecturers at prestigious Ivy League schools after graduation.  But there is one person who is different. He has created his own legend in the university that belongs to him, and that is Gu Weijun.  I joined the Columbia University newspaper in my second year of college and became the editor-in-chief a year later.  Such a figure is also a legendary existence in the history of Columbia, not to mention that he is a foreigner.  Gu Weijun¡¯s graduate mentor was also a famous diplomat, John Moore, who was once a legend in the American diplomatic community.  They are both PhDs, but their identities are completely different when they leave school.  As a person with a halo, Gu Weijun will naturally attract Song Ziwen's special attention. Besides, Gu Weijun does have a very good purpose.  Although he is the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs, the purpose of coming to the south should be to contact the diplomatic mediation teams of Britain and Japan to negotiate a new round of Far East affairs.  Instead of following an irrelevant American politician in Ningbo, chatting about everything, and being a seemingly qualified escort.  Song Ziwen firmly believed that there must be something hidden.  Especially if they stay in his territory, even if they are alumni, they are not colleagues who belong to a political force.  It has to be said that Song Ziwen's territorial desire is very strong. He has been in Ningbo for only half a month, but he has already regarded Ningbo as his own territory. No one can give him any advice here As for Wang Xueqian  ¡­??????????????? Well, the only person who Song Ziwen can accept that others dare to work on his own is Wang Xueqian.  Therefore, Song Ziwen¡¯s relationship with colleagues in the political arena is not very good, mainly because he is too rigid in his behavior.  It seems to be a coincidence that Song Ziwen is about to sign an economic cooperation agreement with Hoover, mainly for the convenience of purchasing bulk commodities in trade and the reduction of prices.  Moreover, the current situation in Ningbo requires the digestion of production capacity, so semi-finished products and industrial raw materials are the main types of trade. The United States is not a country with a high concentration of power. The government will only be taken over if it is doing well.  The consortium accepts.  Therefore, both Hoover and Soong Ziwen were assessing the social impact of price factors.  ??And Gu Weijun was constantly probing Hoover's bottom line for political purposes, especially diplomatic purposes. After several days of contact, he felt that it was generally clear, and Wang Xueqian should take part in the next work together with him.  Coincidentally, neither of them can avoid another alumnus of theirs, Wang Xueqian.    Based on Gu Weijun's bad intentions, Song Ziwen went to Wang Xueqian to complain for the first time in his life.  "Zigao, Gu Shaochuan has been in contact with Minister Hoover recently, did you know?" Wang Xueqian was signing the project approval document for the tractor factory in his office when he was suddenly interrupted by Song Ziwen. He put down the document in his hand and looked up at Song Ziwen.  With a playful smile on his face, he asked: "Did you see anything?" When Song Ziwen was asked this question by Wang Xueqian, he suddenly became angry and said to himself: This Gu Shaochuan always contacts Hoover behind his back, letting him  This Ningbo landowner has no way of knowing what they talked about?  But one thing he can judge is that Gu Weijun is the foreign minister of the Republic of China, and he represents the interests of Cao Kun, not the interests of Wang Xueqian and Zhejiang.  Then Gu Weijun is likely to cooperate with Hoover at the national level to gain political prestige and benefits for Cao Kun.  In fact, it is not difficult to guess such a result. If you think Gu Weijun a little bit worse, he will say: "Zigao, you can't be careless. Although Gu Shaochuan is an alumnus of us, he is not in the same boat as us now. It is difficult"  "You want to say that he is not of the same mind as us, right?" Wang Xueqian found it a bit funny. Song Ziwen's level of complaint needs to be improved!  At least we need to get some "dry information" so that Gu Weijun can't escape the evidence.  Then add some shadowless speculation and deliberate slander to show the sophistication of a treacherous minister.  But Gu Weijun couldn't be embarrassed by this speculative speculation.  What people didn¡¯t expect is that Song Ziwen¡¯s territorial awareness was so strong?  Gu Weijun lingered in front of him for a few days, and he couldn't sit still.  But he knew everything about Gu Weijun. Without Wang Xueqian's nod, Gu Weijun's desire to contact Hoover in Zhejiang was simply a dream.  Originally, he ignored Song Ziwen because Song Ziwen had nothing to do with diplomatic negotiations. Instead, Gu Weijun was the main force.  Since it has been brought up, we might as well talk about it and resolve the misunderstanding between them.  Although Song Ziwen was making a complaint, it was also the first time in his life. After saying a few words, his whole body seemed to be empty and empty. Before Wang Xueqian could entertain him, he started to put it in the cigar box on the table.  He took a cigar and lit it, obviously feeling extremely guilty.  "You know?" People who can study in prestigious universities in the United States and get a Ph.D. may have lower emotional intelligence, but their IQ will definitely crush ordinary people.  "Just looking at Wang Xueqian's overly calm expression, you should have guessed something.  In fact, as Song Ziwen had guessed, Gu Weijun was just testing Hoover within the framework allowed by Wang Xueqian.  Although Hoover rose rapidly in the political arena, he was not taught by an old fox after all This metaphor may not be accurate.  But Gu Weijun was a proud disciple of a diplomat who had a lot of experience and was able to guess the local bottom line from clues.  This is the secret of a successful diplomat.  Wang Xueqian nodded and said: "Shaochuan came to Zhejiang to contact Hoover without my nod. Do you think it is possible?" Song Ziwen was stunned. He had indeed had such a conjecture, but Song Ziwen was completely disgusted by Gu Weijun.  Every time he visited Hoover, Gu Weijun was there He was the leading figure in economic cooperation. Hoover should be an important guest of Zhejiang officialdom, but there was nothing directly related.  Precisely because of this thought, Song Ziwen felt that Gu Weijun went from being a bit of an eyesore to being very ignorant.  Song Ziwen really has no power to interfere with diplomatic issues.  He was a local official. Thinking of this, Song Ziwen, who looked a little embarrassed, was a little discouraged. He promised not to be impulsive, but why couldn't he help it?  Strangely enough, when he was in the officialdom of Guangzhou, he had no problems in this regard at all.  No matter how much you mess with, he won¡¯t participate.  I am afraid that even Song Ziwen himself has an idea in his heart that he does not belong to Guangzhou, and coming to Guangzhou is just a temporary measure.  Do a good job and do a bad job, no one cares anyway, let him do it!  But Ningbo is different. Song Ziwen wants to make a career in this land. Any unstable factors that may threaten his ideas and plans will be the focus of his counterattack.  Song Ziwen looks mature, in other words, he is a bit anxious to die. Another advantage of such a person is that he is thick-skinned and never shows timidity on his face.  Song Ziwen, who realized that he was overthinking, said dullly: "In that case, I'm going back." Song Ziwen is already a member of the Zhejiang Department. Regardless of his position or personal relationship, Wang Xueqian should treat him  Cultivate him to become an absolute confidant, and there is no reason to hide anything from him in government affairs and diplomacy.  Because Song Ziwen can not only be a general, but also a counselor.  His knowledge and knowledge came from being an official in the Republic of ChinaVery rare among them.  Especially the broadening of horizons is even more rare.  "Wait, Paul." Wang Xueqian stretched out his hand to stop Song Ziwen. After the latter sat down with a suspicious look on his face, Wang Xueqian said: "Actually, I have guessed the purpose of Hoover's coming to Zhejiang this time, and Gu Weijun may have guessed it too. This  The U.S. Secretary of Commerce is determined to go further politically, so he needs a political answer that will make the U.S. political arena shine. ""Is this the reason why he came to Zhejiang to sign a trade agreement with us?" "It's not Zhejiang, but Zhejiang.  "It's the Republic of China." "Is there any difference?" Song Ziwen felt that Hoover was doing nothing. Could it be that after signing the agreement with the Republic of China, he could increase the sales of American industrial products in the Republic of China?  Not to mention anything else, Tianjin and other places do not import a lot of American machines. Only Zhejiang needs a large amount of American industrial products.  Wang Xueqian said sternly: "Of course, Zhejiang cannot unilaterally negotiate with the United States. On the one hand, it is because of the asymmetry. One is the country and the other is the local government. If someone accuses me, Wang Xueqian, of treason, I will probably not be able to get rid of this crime in the short term."  "Secondly, in Hoover's eyes, the promises of the Republic of China are far more important than those of Zhejiang." It is not difficult to understand this, and Song Ziwen could only nod with a cold face.  Logically speaking, this answer is impeccable, but from the perspective of interests, Cao Kun may be proud of his words: "In this way, it is Cao Kun who will gain fame and fortune." "This fame  , Cao Kun won't be able to hold it for long," Wang Xueqian affirmed.  Song Ziwen looked puzzled: "He has been a good president, how could this happen?" "Do you think Zhang Zuolin suffered two big losses in front of Wu Peifu, and he can let Cao Kun ride on his head again? You have to say  If he falls to Wu Peifu's army for the third time, then he is not worthy of the title of King of the Northeast. "Wang Xueqian was talking about the fact that even the Japanese would not allow Zhang Zuolin to do it again.  The third one was defeated in front of Wu Peifu.  When entering the customs, only Zhang Zuolin¡¯s entry is the pattern that Japan most wants to see.  "Of course, Shaochuan will not take this small gain seriously. His purpose should be two-fold. On the one hand, I have received news that the United States may give up the concession in Xiamen, and this generous gift was originally given to me.  Yes, I let him go. Besides, Shaochuan is probably still thinking about tariffs." Wang Xueqian revealed all his cards, which moved Song Ziwen somewhat.  But Song Ziwen was also attracted by the sensitive word "tariff". The tariffs of the Republic of China not only involved the "Xinchou Treaty" and other messes left over by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also the "Xin Chou Treaty" signed with the five countries of Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Japan in the early days of Yuan Shikai's administration.  The 'big loan for the aftermath'.  On the issue of 'tariffs', there are too many issues involved, and Americans are excluded.  Britain and France will not change their minds because of the support of the US government.  Of course, Japan¡¯s share of tariffs is so low that it hardly counts.  Song Ziwen lowered his head and thought for a moment before speaking: "He chose a difficult problem. The 'tariff' issue is entangled with the taxation of imported goods by the Republic of China. It seems that the key issue is the 'big loan for aftermath', but in fact it is still imported industrial products.  The issue of taxation. Western countries are not willing to see their products lose competitiveness in price. However, this problem can be thought of in reverse. From a trade perspective, imports will cost real money, but exports will increase foreign exchange reserves.  In fact, most of the materials and goods imported by the Republic of China were goods that were lacking in the country. For example, kerosene, the domestic production was almost negligible, and for machines, there were almost no domestic manufacturers. If we could think about it the other way around, tariffs would be a problem.  The problem will be relatively easier. "Song Ziwen's words made Wang Xueqian's eyes light up. The materials exported by the Republic of China were all raw materials, such as non-ferrous metals, which were indispensable raw materials in Western industry.  If there were no protection for industries that did not exist in the Republic of China, then many Western industrial products would not be denied high tariffs.  Of course, the demand in the Republic of China will not increase consumption because of cheap prices.  This is unrealistic. Just like kerosene, the amount used by each family is basically the same.  The price of kerosene will not drop. People who usually light one lamp at home will light two or even three lamps Wang Xueqian feels that Song Ziwen's idea is very feasible. Of course, any politician in the Republic of China knows that 'tariffs'  Negotiations will be the most difficult issue in the diplomacy of the Republic of China, if not one of them.  Once tariff independence is achieved, the ruling government will truly have independent and relatively loose finances, and reunification will have hope: "If you have the chance, why would you talk more about this issue with Shaochuan? Even I think he  It was too hasty on the tariff issue. "It was a coincidence that Gu Weijun also came to visit Wang Xueqian.    In fact, he came to tell Wang Xueqian that the negotiations between him and Hoover had basically begun, and Hoover also admitted that the U.S. government was determined to return the Xiamen Concession to the Republic of China government.  Of course, there is a problem in this, that is, the American Concession in Xiamen has merged with the British Concession to form a public concession.  This requires discussing the dismantling of the public concession with the British first, and then discussing the issue of return.  Wang Xueqian frowned and said: "In other words, formal documents need to be negotiated with the British before they can be signed?" "Although there were twists and turns, we finally got a definite answer, which is pretty good." Gu Weijun felt somewhat relieved.  With such relief, there was no hope for tariffs. Hoover kept silent and asked him to talk to the British, which probably wouldn't work either.  But finally some results have been achieved. At least Hoover has given the nod, and the American Concession in Xiamen will be returned to the Republic of China. When the contract is signed, this will be encouraging and exciting news.  Song Ziwen, who had been treated as nothing and ignored for a long time, was about to leave when he saw Gu Weijun smiled narrowly and said to Song Ziwen, pretending to be surprised: "Paul is here too?" Song Ziwen's heart suddenly grew like grass.  If one person is too tall, one sentence is: This guy must have done it on purpose!  (To be continued.)
