    It is unimaginable that Wang Xueqian must reflect on his behavior When did the handsome mansion of his patrol envoy from Fujian and Zhejiang become the headquarters of the Fujian and Zhejiang Arms Import and Export Company?  Why did Mao have so many orders flying to his secretariat like snowflakes? Almost every warlord in the Republic of China identified it. The purpose of the Zhejiang Army equipment parade was to sell new land warfare weapons and tanks.  He is obviously an excellent politician, but why do so many people regard him as a businessman?  After trying hard to convince Lu Zuofu to leave, Wang Xueqian called Chen Builei and went through all the local forces that had recently purchased tanks. Then he discovered that they were all in one fell swoop!  Except for a few who have no money and have enemies, all the local forces in the Republic of China are almost wiped out in one fell swoop!  The total number of orders exceeds one hundred vehicles. Regardless of whether it is north or south, almost all warlords have a strong interest in this steel weapon.  Being nearly invincible on the land battlefields of the Republic of China, tanks became the latest high-end weapons pursued by democratic lords.  In the Republic of China, there were only a few forces with large-scale arsenals. Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal has been developing slowly since its preparation in the late 19th century. It was not until he took over a few years ago that he ordered a large number of European machines, and the output and quality began to improve.  It was a qualitative leap, but Yan Laoxi's arsenal had no plans to sell it to outsiders. He continued to expand his army in Shanxi and could only satisfy himself first.  The situation of the Fengtian Arsenal in the Northeast is the same as that of the Taiyuan Arsenal, which also meets the needs of the Northeast Army.  The scale of Hanyang Arsenal is now the largest, but it has to supply the entire Beiyang, so there is no surplus.  The rest is the Jinhua Arsenal founded by Wang Xueqian in Zhejiang. Although its output cannot rank first in the Republic of China, it is still one of the four major arsenals.  In particular, Zhejiang also has other military products, such as aircraft, which were once the most popular weapons in the Republic of China.  In particular, he also owns the Fuzhou Steamship Bureau and can build small warships.  With the addition of a large number of second-hand weapons and inventory weapons purchased from the United States and transported through the Americas from the European War, Wang Xueqian has actually become the largest arms supplier in the Republic of China.  Moreover, the weapons he provided were more advanced, of better quality, and not expensive, and were deeply loved by the generals of the Republic of China.  Ever since he started masturbating, Wang Xueqian was no different from a foreign profiteer in the eyes of the Republic of China governors.  Of course, if a profiteer wants to succeed, he must first have something that others urgently need.  The emergence of airplanes suddenly expanded the occupation of cities from the ground to the sky in the Republic of China, and tanks?  This is a weapon that can make the final decision in ground combat. The battlefield of the Republic of China is different from the European battlefield. Needless to say, anti-tank weapons, the number of artillery is insufficient. Except for the coastal defense artillery imported from Europe in the late Qing Dynasty, large-caliber artillery in the field is large-caliber.  Almost extinct.  The A-type Renault 17 tank equipped with a machine gun and full steel protection is already invincible on the battlefield, and the B-type Renault 17 with a 37-gun added is simply a nightmare for the Army's ground defense line.  There is no concept of building anti-tank fortifications at all, and no thought of anti-tank weapons. Anyway, the attractiveness of tanks is much higher than that of aircraft.  After all, the battle will still be decided on the ground.  From among the many purchase telegrams, Wang Xueqian also found a few more interesting ones, such as Yan Xishan. The Jin-Sui Army began to expand its army again last year. Yan Xishan did not have much cash in his hands, but he was such a stingy person.  Yan Laoxi still took out the 100,000 yuan to buy the tank drawings Well, Wang Xueqian was also defeated by this colleague and muttered: "Other people are here to sell eggs, and you have the kindness to ask to buy egg hens.  Yan Laoxi, is it really Yan Laoxi? "It's okay even if you come to buy egg hens, but Yan Laoxi has the nerve to use such a small amount of money to fool people?  "Zhang Zuolin also wants to buy" Wang Xueqian turned to Fengjun's purchase telegram. After all, Zhang Zuolin was born in the green forest. He was a straightforward person. He asked for twenty tanks as soon as he opened his mouth.  But the problem is that Zhang Zuolin also has a tank!  Moreover, the tanks in the hands of Zhang Zuolin and the tanks in the hands of Wang Xueqian are the same batch. Soon, I believe that during the Zhifeng War, Zhang Zuolin will not be able to help but throw his steel army directly into the battlefield.  The only difference is that Zhang Zuolin's tanks are all B-type Renault 17s, equipped only with machine guns and no artillery.  And Zhang Jingyao's telegram is even more funny: he starts by saying that he supports Wang Xueqian's anti-imperialist struggle, and then builds friendship. The last sentence is particularly important. Zhang Jingyao said very confidently: Brother, I support you with all my heart and soul. Is it worth two cents?  A tank?  "This feels really good!" Wang Xueqian put it down without comment.  ¡­ Wang Xueqian could just regard these exchanges of messages as a joke, just to adjust his spare time from work.  Besides, he could feel that he had integrated into the small group of local forces in the Republic of China when he read these cables.    But there was one person who was not in such a good mood. Lu Zuofu left the Marshal's Mansion with a bitter look on his face. His head hurt even more when the hot wind blew at the door.  But he couldn't help but ask Du Yuesheng who accompanied him: "Brother Du, why do I feel something is wrong?" Du Yuesheng found it strange. Although Liu Xiang's request was not met, Lu Zuofu also knew that the Zhejiang Army's tanks were imported.  Come on, Zhejiang does not yet have the ability to produce tanks. It can be said that if one tank is broken and one tank is missing, it is impossible to sell it to its peers.  Du Yuesheng said in surprise: "The funds you want to start the Minsheng Company have also been found, and the funds for the Northern Sichuan Railway have also found a way out. Think about it, what is the purpose of coming to Shanghai?" "Buy a boat?" "Do you have enough money?  ? " Du Yuesheng's words are definitely a run on people. If he had enough money, would Lu Zuofu have stayed in Shanghai for so long?  But the problem is that all the money on hand has been invested in the Yibin route. If you want to open up Chongqing, the Jialing River route is already stretched. The full amount is 50,000 yuan, and it is not all paid at once. It can be used in your hands.  That's about 20,000.  This money is not enough for the price of an iron-hulled ship.  His shipping business is on the rise, and no matter how much capital is invested, it is not enough.  Not only that, Lu Zuofu also had several powerful opponents. Needless to say, the status of the two shipping companies Jardine and Swire in the Yangtze River shipping. However, as the proportion of British industrial products in the Republic of China decreased, many of the subsidiaries of these two major foreign companies  All industries were affected, and the shipping industry was one of them.  What followed was the rise of the Japanese shipping company. This company, which merged with Osaka Merchant Shipping, Nippon Yusen Line, Ry¨­ko Steamship and many Japanese shipping companies, had aimed to dominate Yangtze River shipping from the day it was founded.  There are only three opponents, Swire, Jardine and Matheson, and the Steamship Merchants Company controlled by Sheng Xuanhuai.  ??More than a decade after its establishment, Nissin Shipping Company, headquartered in the Wuhan Concession, began a large-scale expansion of routes.  With the decline of the Steamship Merchants Group, Swire and Jardine Matheson stopped developing.  Nissin Shipping Company has gradually caught up with several of its competitors in business. This time, this Japanese capital-controlled shipping company has set its sights on the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Its direct competitor was established less than two years ago.  Lu Zuofu had not established a Minsheng Company at this time. He only owned two river ships and had no intention of establishing a steamship company.  The first one to bear the brunt was Lu Zuofu's route in Yibin. In order to compete with it, Lu Zuofu had to invest most of his funds to strengthen the route from Yibin to Chongqing. But even so, Lu Zuofu's life was not easy when the Japanese used frequent tricks.  Obtaining a commitment from Wang Xueqian will undoubtedly be a fast train for Minsheng Company, and its competitiveness will be greatly enhanced.  But the question is, why did he vaguely agree to Wang Xueqian¡¯s capital investment?  ¡°What if Wang Xueqian doesn¡¯t like him and wants to take away control of Minsheng Company? What should he do?  Even if Du Yuesheng didn't hear Lu Zuofu's worries, he could still see that this guy's face was full of regret: "Brother! Isn't it unnecessary for you to worry? How high-minded is the King Governor? He is a master who sees the world broadly.  , would you like your wealth?" "Me!" Lu Zuofu found that in the face of Du Yuesheng's ridicule, it was futile to explain or not.  On the surface, this seems to be the case. Wang Xueqian is not very interested in industry, and the companies in his hands are all large-scale. As far as railways are concerned, the operating sections of Eastern Railway Company have exceeded 2,000 kilometers.  There are nearly 500 kilometers or more of construction continuing, and the areas along the route are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. From an outside perspective, the lowest standard is a land of plenty.  The Northern Sichuan Railway forget it, it is not a good place in the eyes of Sichuan people. In Wang Xueqian's impression, it is probably very close to one word, that is, a remote place.  Can northern Sichuan compare with Suzhou and Hangzhou?  There is absolutely no comparison. Throughout the history of Chinese dynasties, it has been more than a thousand years since the prosperity of Suzhou and Hangzhou was comparable. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been the most economically developed region in China.  The second is the steamship company. Wang Xueqian is not even interested in Yu Qiaqing's ocean route, let alone sending people to run it himself. Even the scale of Dada Steamship Company is not comparable to the Minsheng Company of this era.  Du Yuesheng was a man who relied on his face to support himself outside. When he saw this, he immediately patted his chest and said: "If one day, Brother Yu also owns a steamship company with more than 30 large and small ships. There are three passenger ships on the Shanghai-Wuhan route alone. If you  If you are still worried, we will establish a written agreement. If one day, I can't make the decision for other brothers, Dada Shipping Company will be yours, do you think it will work? " "Brother Du, that's not what I meant!" "What if it's Lu Zuofu!  If you worry about gains and losses again, you are ignorant, so quicklySaid that he absolutely trusts Wang Xueqian.  As for what I'm thinking in my heart, I don't know.  Du Yuesheng smiled knowingly. People's hearts are unpredictable. He has never intended to convince people with virtue, something illusory. People's hearts are vulnerable to benefits. If they are still not satisfied, it can only be because they have not given enough benefits.  "Brother Lu, there is no final decision yet on the routes and ships that the Steamship Investment Promotion Bureau will attract on the Yangtze River." Du Yuesheng had no intention or energy to take care of this flag of the late national industry anyway.  Ship Merchants Bureau! ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? did not stand the British and Japanese who were once squeezed in the business, and even signed an agreement to unify the Yangtze River shipping freight rate.  Only then did Britain's two major shipping companies breathe a sigh of relief.  In fact, the business model of Steamship Merchants is not more advanced than that of the British, nor is it cheaper than the Japanese's labor.  But one thing has an absolute advantage. Because it manages the shipping company, it can build a dock at any port on the Yangtze River anytime and anywhere without worrying about land issues.  This alone can give you a head start in business.  Lu Zuofu was too young. He had not experienced the most glorious era of China Steamship Merchants Company with his own eyes, but he had heard many rumors about this steamship company.  When Du Yuesheng said that the shipping business of the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation was going to be managed, the first thing that came to his mind was to take over this super enterprise of national industry. Even though the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation has declined, it can independently produce shipbuilding, artillery manufacturing, weapons and ammunition.  The main drag is that the business is too broad, many businesses are not profitable, and some businesses are in ruins.  Shipping business is one of them.  But even so, the Steamship Merchants Bureau is still a giant to Lu Zuofu, with more than fifty river ships and more than a dozen ports Thinking of the funds in his hands, even with the support of Wang Xueqian, facing this huge  Enterprises still feel that they have more than enough ambition but not enough power.  He had a very unreal feeling in his heart, as if the treasure he regarded as a treasure was nothing more than a dispensable burden in the eyes of others.  For a while, Lu Zuofu did not dare to say anything. He wanted to entrust Du Yuesheng. He was very interested in the Steamship Merchants Company, but he was not confident enough to say what he wanted.  But Du Yuesheng smiled knowingly: "Brother Lu, don't worry, the Steamship Investment Company is a mess. Those who don't want to do shipping have almost no interest in this company, and the possibility of selling it as a whole is very low. In the end, they still own it."  Domestic management personnel with shipping experience are being recruited. Although Brother Lu¡¯s Minsheng Company is small in size, its management is extremely good. I think if you have this idea, you might as well prepare. With the foundation of the Steamship Investment Company, Brother Lu has a great opportunity.  I need to put on my wings and fly." "Obviously, what Du Yuesheng said is definitely not a trap. Lu Zuofu knows his own affairs. He has only tens of thousands of dollars in funds that he can use. With Wang Xueqian's support, that's all.  Just two hundred thousand.  This amount of money is a huge amount of money for ordinary people.  But Du Yuesheng he might not even notice it.  If it were Wang Xueqian, he wouldn¡¯t take it to heart.  "These two would dig holes to bury people, so they would not choose to do this. Lu Zuofu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He heard another meaning from Du Yuesheng's mouth.  Don't think that everyone is equal when it comes to opportunities. If someone with intentions doesn't want you to get it, don't even think about it in this life.  Wang Xueqian is the caring person, and after Lu Zuofu thought about it, he found that his current status and strength were not worthy of Wang Xueqian's wooing. The only explanation was that Wang Xueqian was optimistic about him and gave him a huge favor. As for how to repay this favoretc.  Let¡¯s talk about it when he has the strength!  After Lu Zuofu figured this out, he felt indescribably relaxed. Since someone was optimistic about him and they weren't deliberately trying to harm him, why should he worry about the number?  (To be continued.) : Visit the website
