Hongjiang, guarding the study room of the envoy.

"Come on, come on, sit on, sit on." Wang Zhenyu warmly welcomed his two subordinates.

These two subordinates are the heads of the Anjiang Model City project selected by Wang Zhenyu, Chen Shao and Chen Quzhen.

The two of them were somewhat nervous when facing Wang Zhenyu, especially Chen Quzhen. He did not expect that he, a river craftsman, could be appreciated by the guards. Chen Shao did not expect that within half a year of his service, Wang Zhenyu became the guards in Xiangxi, the veritable king of Xiangxi.

"You are all surnamed Chen, and you will work together in the future, so I hope you can unite and do something." Wang Zhenyu said leisurely.

"Please rest assured by Dashang. I am old and I will express my opinion here. I will work hard to do the errand assigned by Dashang with my brothers Chen Shao, and will never let down the trust of Dashang." Chen Quzhen was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

Chen Shao also agreed with a smile. Wang Zhenyu laughed and said, "I said don't be nervous anymore. Qu Zhen, do you know why you were transferred from Hegong to Anjiang?"

Seeing Chen Quzhen shook his head, Wang Zhenyu continued: "First, this will be handed over to the local area after the river engineering work. There will be no special agency in the garrison office to take charge. Second, I asked Brother Tian, ​​and I knew that you were also from a new army before and went to Tibet to quell the rebellion. So I thought about it and said that talent is rare. As long as you can do things with peace of mind, I still hope that you will continue to join the army and not bury your talents."

Chen Quzhen immediately stood up excitedly, and said with a trembling body: "The Grand Marshal recreated Qu Zhen'en and said, "Qu Zhen's 180 kilograms are the Grand Marshal. From then on, the Grand Marshal asked to go east, and Qu Zhen would never go west, and go through fire and water, and he would not refuse."

Wang Zhenyu still likes to listen to people’s loyalty, but he still waves his hand and says, “It’s not necessary to go through fire and water, just act with peace of mind.”

Then the topic changed: "I asked you to come, and there is indeed an important thing to be assigned. You probably heard that I plan to build a modern new city in Anjiang, dozens of miles east of Hongjiang. This city will be the center of the entire western Hunan in the future, not only commercially but also politically. Our future is in this city, so building this city requires efforts and effort. My plan is to hand over this matter to you two, mainly Hanchuan (Chen Shao's name is Hanchuan), supplemented by Quzhen. The design plan will be proposed by German Lis and Foreign Company, and you are mainly responsible for reviewing and supervising the construction. This review is very important. Don't look at the Germans being honest, they are doing business.

If you want to, there will definitely be something like falsely reporting prices. You must learn to deal with them and bargain with them directly. There is no shame in the future. Supervision is even more important. All projects are a century-old plan. Don’t be careless, do it with conscience, and be responsible. You are responsible for the command and responsible. You must listen to the ideas and suggestions of professionals for specific construction. In addition, the speed of the administrative district should be accelerated. The entire model city and administrative district will strive to be completed before the end of the year. I hope to celebrate the New Year in Anjiang." Although Wang Zhenyu is only 21 years old, he is almost fifty years old for two lifetimes. In addition, he is in the upper hand, and over time, he will speak a little old-fashioned.

However, when I hear my subordinates' ears, I feel a sense of reliability and a steady demeanor.

Chen Shao and Chen Quzhen immediately stood up and said that they would do their best to live up to their responsibilities.

Hans and Ye Zuwen of Lihe Foreign Company have quietly negotiated and signed the issue of the construction of Anjiang New City.

Lihe Foreign Company will provide a loan of 10 million yuan for the new city to hire technicians and purchase some materials that cannot be found locally (mainly decoration materials). Wang Zhenyu did not hesitate to buy the decoration materials and threw them to the sworn brother Liu Hongsheng.

Liu Guojun, who was arranged to work and study at Liu Hongsheng's office, also received the latest work arrangements and began to be responsible for the introduction of textile factory and power company projects. According to Wang Zhenyu's idea, once the introduction of these two projects is completed, Liu Guojun will come to Anjiang to manage the factory matters for him. At present, the martial artists under his command who only lead troops to fight can't do these business matters.

Before meeting Chen Shao and Chen Quzhen, Frankie also brought good news. Huabi Bank agreed to its loan application. From now on, 10 million pounds will enter its newly opened account at Huabi Bank in fifteen days. Later, when Huabi Bank's branch in western Hunan is set up, the money will arrive together. This money will become the basis for Wang Zhenyu's future issuance of banknotes, and the benefits it can generate are definitely not a little like 110 million silver dollars.

Felix, a Luxembourg native, often asked Ye Zuwen to discuss a cooperation idea separately. Ye Zuwen sorted out and reported it to Wang Zhenyu.

Wang Zhenyu looked carefully and was overjoyed at the time. According to Felix, he was related to Prime Minister Paul Ischen, who had been in power for 27 years. He had heard Paul Ischen put forward a great idea to build a new Luxembourg outside of Europe. It turned out that the situation in Europe in 1912 had already shown signs of tension, and France and Germany, two countries that became feuds due to the Franco-Prussian War, began an unprecedented arms race. This would make Luxembourg, sandwiched between France and Germany, would be miserable. This European steel power has a land area of ​​less than one-twentieth that of western Hunan, and its population is less than one-twentieth of Wang Zhenyu's population. Such a pocket kingdom that occupies a goal to rush into two military powers.

It is a dream to keep neutral between them. As the actual ruler of this country for the past twenty-four years, Paul Ischen had to make plans for the future of this country. Among these many plans, it is a good choice to transfer some industries, funds, offices and residents to temporarily stay away from Europe, which is about to be in war. Felix believes that Xiangxi is a good choice, but Wang Zhenyu doubts whether this guy can convince his prime minister's relatives, because the second revolution will break out in 1913, and he will actively participate in this revolution to obtain enough dividends. At that time, the people of Luxembourg traveled thousands of miles to China and saw that I was just going to fight. You have done it directly, so it is safer for us to shrink in Europe.

Of course, Wang Zhenyu also has an idea, that is, to collectively fool the Luxembourg steel industry. As long as the equipment is in place, what kind of coal or iron will be considered a solution. What is the most profitable battle in the battle? Steel, I have made this step solid, and the debts I owe now are not worth mentioning at all.

To this end, Wang Zhenyu proposed a joint venture plan for the steel plant, building Anjiang Steel Plant, Xiangxi Development Company and Luxembourg Albed Company each account for half of the shares, of which Luxembourg provides a full set of technology and technicians. At the same time, during the construction of Xin'anjiang, Luxembourg will obtain a block of territory to build a living area that can accommodate 50,000 people, provided that Luxembourg provides a loan of 20 million yuan to Xiangxi Development Company. It is also stated that once Luxembourg people need this block, the loan will not need to be repaid.

I don’t know if Luxembourg will agree. Anyway, Felix left and returned home with the documents in his arms. It is probably two months later that there is news.

In Shanghai, Rong Mansion, Liu Hongsheng and Liu Guojun were drinking good green tea on the sofa in the living room while looking at the rural Rong Mansion.

"Aha, who do I think it is? It turns out to be Liu Keding, Brother Liu! He is such a rare guest, a rare guest." Rong Zongjing, dressed in a long gown and a melon-skin hat, was dressed in an old-style businessman, walked into the living room with a smile on his face.

To be honest, Rong Zongjing is not very interested in Liu Hongsheng, who is wearing a suit. In the past six months, Liu Hongsheng has almost become the most glorious figure in the entire Shanghai beach. After Hongsheng Company opened, in just a few months, he relied on Kaiping Coal to seize two-thirds of the market for Shanghai coal. He can almost be called the coal king, but in the eyes of Rong Zongjing, who is fifteen years older, Liu Hongsheng is just an intermediary that makes a difference, and is different from himself who is engaged in industry to save the country. Now, he is not as good as himself.

The glory is even more nouveau riche, and it is not worth mentioning. These are not enough to make Rong Zongjing look down on Liu Hongsheng. The one that Rong Zongjing looked down on the most was actually Liu Hongsheng and Du Yuesheng of the Qing Gang. This time, in Boss Rong's heart, it was a big drop. You should know that businessmen are most taboo to deal with gangsters because the rules of both parties are different. Are you planning to let others follow your rules, or are you planning to follow other people's rules?

Liu Hongsheng also knew this, but after being entrusted by his third brother, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring Liu Guojun to come. Fortunately, the Rong family treated him with courtesy.

Liu Hongsheng smiled: "In front of Senior Rong, Hongsheng is just a clown. Logically speaking, Hongsheng dared not come to disturb him, but was entrusted by someone to bring Mr. Liu Guojun to pay homage to Senior Rong, and I hope Senior Rong will take care of him."

Rong Zongjing laughed and said, "It's not a question of care. Rong is easy to make friends from all directions. Anything Rong can do is easy to say."

You have to understand this so that it is hard to say anything that cannot be done.

Liu Guojun smiled slightly: "We want to set up the largest textile factory in China with Mr. Rong in Hunan."

Before coming to meet Rong Zongjing, Liu Guojun had studied this person carefully and knew that his personality was relatively off-limited and liked Gao Daquan, so he directly sent an invitation to this point.

Sure enough, Rong Zongjing became interested: "How big is your biggest? How many machines are, how many spindles are produced annually? How to cooperate?"

Liu Guojun immediately replied: "The share capital is 4.8 million, and we will pay 3 million, and we will pay half of the dividends. The operating rights belong to you. There are 4,800 new cloth machines (one old cloth machine can only produce 30 spindles per year, which is too big. The data comes from the Hunan spinning mill established in 1911), with an annual production of 480,000 spindles. What do you think?"

Rong Zongjing smiled disdainfully and said, "Young man, don't be that big, 480,000 ingots, do you know how much Japanese is? I'll tell you 120,000 pounds. I'm very interested in knowing where you will collect so many raw materials?"

Liu Guojun smiled and said, "Old Rong, seeing it is true. Even if I, a junior, convinced you, do you dare to believe me? Why not go to Xiangxi to see my boss's strength and all the problems will be solved."

Rong Zongjing was also a cheerful person and immediately replied: "Then I'll go to Xiangxi with you to see what's going on?"

It was that simple, Liu Hongsheng was stunned, and Rong Desheng seemed to have a very good understanding of his elder brother's personality, and he looked like he was not surprised...
