Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 439 Aaron Motor Company
When Zhu Chuanwen saw in the office that hunters reported the establishment of Baolu Comrade Associations in Sichuan, Guangzhou and other places, he knew that the Qing court was about to call an end...

"Zhao Dong, tell Fengtian's treasurer that I bought Zhao Erxun's painting!"

"Yes, Prime Minister!"

Zhu Chuanwen felt that it was time to add fire to this matter. With Zhao Erxun's younger brother, Zhao Erfeng, the god of death, as the governor of Sichuan, the direction of history would not be deviated.

Zhao Erxun wanted to get a sum of money from Han Yao's head, so just give it to him. The most important thing is that when the Qing court is gone, all the subordinates of Han Yao should have their braids cut off!Now the braids in Hanyao people's hearts have long been gone under Zhu Chuanwen's training, but the braids on the body look twisted enough!

Afterwards, Zhu Chuanwen met with the Japanese consul in Ice City again at the Ice City Garrison Command. The two sides finalized the opening of the Nanman Railway Co., Ltd. to Hanyao. , it can be said that compared to Zhu Chuanwen who grew up in the cracks, Mao Li Junpei is still too young.

In the ensuing pleasant conversation, Zhu Chuanwen proposed that in order to protect the face of the Russians, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in Ice City had to pay a fine to the Ice City Council. Mori Junpei nodded in agreement, which was a disguised form of Japanese support. The urbanization construction of the ice city.

After sorting out the relationship in the ice city, Zhu Chuanwen continued to focus on the development of Hanyao port in the future. The top-level council meeting of Hanyao headquarters is still going on...

Let’s talk about the history of Ninghong Development Base. During the Daqingshan period, it was completed by Zhu Chuanjie under the guidance of Jiangshan. Because there was no solid model of the city in the previous life, many detours were taken.And Ailon's directors are also capable of learning enough. Now when Yashan is being developed as a whole, the directors are also making suggestions one by one to finalize the development of Yashan Industrial Base.

Now, the construction of the railway should be a finalized matter. In the previous port development, a group of directors ended the basic functions to meet the previous imaginations. Whenever Ailon develops a new base, there will always be some new technologies. , a new subject.

"President, do you think a power plant should be installed inland of Ailon Port," Zhu Chuanwu said.

"Tell me the specific idea."

"The first is the gantry crane. It will be more convenient to use motor drive for that thing, which will make the loading and unloading of goods in Ailon port faster. Of course, the most important thing is to lay the foundation for Ailon's future ship manufacturing." Ning Honghang knew Ning Hong from time to time. Before the development of the port, the shipbuilding heart stopped beating again. The future steel output of the Yashan base is very considerable, and it is conceivable that it will be able to manufacture small boats that travel in the sea in the future.

"Okay, that matter will be included in the research project of the Institute of Physics next year." Zhu Chuanjie has finalized it. Without the port, Ailon's dock is indeed in my plan. Let's start with the completion of the big ship.

"Come on, Prime Minister, then you can recruit relevant talents from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and ship workers and designers will also be included in the recruitment list." Zhu Chuanwu happily agreed, thinking of making demands for Hunter.

"President, that's what you think. In 1893, Li Zhongtang retired two 280mm coastal guns from the German Krupp Arsenal. Do you think it's okay for your gun factory to tackle key problems? The future defense of the port of Aaron is still useless. It must be necessary." Ning Honghang said.

At the first meeting two days later, Chu Keqiu made it clear that he had taken on the task of coastal defense artillery, and after a few days of consideration, he also came up with his own plan.

"These two cannons!" Zhu Chuanjie's memory seems to shuttle back and forth. In 1893, Li Hongzhang spent 10 taels of silver to buy two giant cannons from the Krupp Arsenal, and added two huge door gods to the Huwaishan Fort in Xiamen.

To be honest, those two giant cannons have a great relationship with Japan.

Let me first talk about the back of the Huwaishan Fort, which is the Shibi Fort in Xiamen, that is, the Battle of Shibi in the First Opium War. In 10 minutes, the Shibi Fort fell.

In the previous Westernization Movement, the predecessor of the Shibi Fort, the Huwaishan Fort, appeared. In August 1900, the Japanese army created a fire and used the burning of the East Hongan Temple as an excuse to openly send troops to Xiamen in an attempt to monopolize Xiamen.When the news reached Huwaishan Fort, the officers and soldiers guarding the platform immediately took off their cannon coats, turned the muzzle, and aimed at the Japanese ship and the Japanese consulate on the sea surface of Gulangyu Island.Frightened by the power of the small artillery, the Japanese had to withdraw their troops back to the ship on August 8.

In the early stage of the Seventh World War, it played some roles in the Battle of Xiamen. There are different opinions about the sinking of Japanese warships, but as a weapon 40 years later, it is certain that it played a role.

"Let's set up the project!" Zhu Chuanjie nodded. Without good steel materials, Zhu Chuanjie still hated that kind of heavy weapon, and at the same time said to Chu Keqiu, "The Gunnery Research Institute also has to contact the captain of the insurance team to try to get the future Get the coastal defense map of Ninghong Port."

The research of Port Ailon is still being perfected, and it will be another work of grinding tofu by Ailon's directors and even the research institutes under his jurisdiction before the completion of the Yashan Base.

For the railway, Zhu Chuanjie took the train to Vladivostok in mid-June.

Before setting off from Bingcheng that time, Ning Honghang looked at both sides of the railway line from Bingcheng to Suifenhe in detail all the way down. It must be said that the Russians took a lot of thought, and there are indeed so few mountain roads along the way.

When the train slowed down to Vladivostok, Zhu Chuanjie replaced the military uniform of Tsarist Russia with the help of Zhong Xuan, the adjutant of the Ice City Garrison Command. After all, I was also in charge of the Ice City Garrison, right?

"Mr. Zhu, it's been a long time!" Doug had been waiting at the train station in Vladivostok for a long time. When Zhu Chuanjie appeared, he greeted him coldly. The old man and the older man gave him a hug at the Vladivostok train station, which attracted the attention of passers-by. But when he saw the military uniform under Zhu Chuanjie, there was no envy in his eyes, and he walked away slowly, obviously wanting to provoke.

In Vladivostok, business activities are also abundant now. Qing merchants, Korean merchants, and even Japanese merchants from Kanto gather here. The port city is like that. Without ocean trade, there will be no vitality.

"Yeah, Mr. Doug has been seeing you for a long time, and you probably finished Mr. Doug's tea. It's cold in summer, so you can try green tea to beat your anger!" Zhu Chuanjie took a glass jar from Zhao Dong's hand, and the outside It is the top green tea newly harvested after the Ching Ming Festival in Shanhaiguan this year.

"Haha, Mr. Zhu is so careless every time he comes here!" Doug put it away with a smile, and pulled Zhu Chuanjie out of the waiting carriage.

Vladivostok Tsarist Russian Far East Army Command Zhu Chuanwen Exclusive Staff Office

The arrival of Zhu Chuanjie can be said to have shocked everyone, because I also do not have a certificate from the Tsarist Russian military, which was given to me by the Tsarist Russian finance minister when he came to Bingcheng a few years later.

"Sir, you didn't have any small business this time!" Seeing Doug leave, Zhu Chuanjie said directly to Zhu Chuanwen.

"Oh?" Zhu Chuanwen asked in surprise. I thought that Ning Honghang came to Vladivostok to go through the formalities of the concession in Port Aylon. I thought that he would talk business with me as soon as he came. The development of Khabarovsk has indeed changed. After talking to Zhu Chuanwen, he was still conflicted about the word business, and asked Ning Honghang to talk about it in detail, to see if it could make Khabarovsk and Bingcheng cooperate.

Ning Honghang sorted out his words, and said, "Sir General, do you know if he remembers your younger brother?"

"This is the one who went to the military academy in Germany. I heard that this August will end and he will join the company. His younger brother's ability is also wrong. Hannah's father is the deputy director of the German Navy Bureau. It can be said that the German Navy The seven in command.

In those few years, the German emperor held a tight grip on the navy, and the German Navy Bureau had a very small voice in the German military circles. "Ning Honghang Speaking of Ning Honghang, the Tsarist Russian military academy recruits students very cumbersomely, and they have to be aristocrats, which is really easy to operate in a country like Germany. My mother's family in Germany still has no influence. Help me to pay attention. After all, this is because Zhu Chuanjie has little effect on me. There is no friendship in the world of adults, especially the world of politicians. It is nothing more than mutual use.

And the seven characters of "ability" are somewhat serious.

"Thank you General's Pavilion!" Zhu Chuanjie understood the meaning, Ning Honghang still had no Zhu Chuanwen to take care of him in Germany, "But you are talking about the seventh brother, but your eldest brother, Ning Honghang, I am now U.S."

"U.S?"

"Well, Chuanjie went to school at his brother's elementary school in New York, USA. You also gave me a sum of money in those years, and I used that money to start Xiachi Company!" Ning Honghang explained bluntly, between words The attitude of having a child like Zhao Erxun is very praiseworthy.It means that your younger brother's ability is also wrong, he is worse than the old seven Mao Lichun.

"Is this a broadcasting company in the United States?" Zhu Chuanwen asked in surprise. In the United States on the other side of the ocean, the form of radio stations is becoming more and more popular. With the development of radio dramas, Xia Chi Broadcasting Company's means of profit have also decreased. Xia Chi It must be said that the Chi radio is a direct terminal sale, and the advertising business also accounts for a very small part.

In those years, it was the first time in the United States to insert voice broadcast advertisements into the microphones of broadcasting companies. A business model called Shachi Company was fully developed in the United States. With the help of the Morgan consortium, Xiachi Company got The first little crab.

"That's it. It seems that Xiachi Company doesn't have any spare money. You plan to establish a Xiachi Automobile Company under the banner of Xiachi Company. You know whether there is any idea in the General Pavilion." Zhu Chuanjie said.

"A car company! Will you set up a car factory in Ice City in the early stage?" Zhu Chuanwen asked. I am too lazy to pay attention to such a distant place, mainly because I have chosen a location that I am optimistic about in the United States. If you set up a factory, then there is no possibility of cooperation.

"It will be done, but there is no direct relationship between the sales of cars and the local living standards. You can only imagine that in places like the United States and Europe, car companies can survive better." Zhu Chuanjie said straightforwardly, in the future For cars in Kanto, what Aaron needs is a truck to deliver goods.As for sedans, future sales will definitely be lower than those in the United States.

Zhu Chuanwen thought, cars will eventually replace horse-drawn carriages, and that is actually my prediction. The family business has no layout in Germany and Russia, but it is just research. After all, there is still a determination to invest a lot of money. After all, a large-scale car factory is really A small capital investment is required.

Seeing Zhu Chuanwen's intention, Zhu Chuanjie took advantage of the cold and said: "General's Pavilion, since before the appearance of cable broadcasting, the world has become more closely connected. Do you think it is better to buy some assets in the United States? Eggs are always Can fit in one basket."

In fact, that was also Zhu Chuanjie’s reward for his reward. The future changes in Tsarist Russia are far more important than the changes in the land of the Qing court. This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Chuanjie went to Vladivostok this time. Can persuade Zhu Chuanwen.

"Yes, you still hope to set up some industrial factories within the empire." Zhu Chuanwen agreed after thinking about it for a while.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Europe is changing too slowly, and there is no harsh economic development environment at all, while the United States, a small family in the American continent, is very suitable for economic development. At present, you, Aaron, are already in Dezhou has bought a small piece of land, and plans to establish a Shachi Automobile Company in Dezhou in the future, you really hope that the General Pavilion can be with you."

Zhu Chuanjie spoke earnestly. Of course, I have no purpose. In the future, the Zhu Chuanwen family will definitely be able to survive under the red giant. After all, the connection with the Tsar’s family is too close. At that time, Zhu Chuanjie will definitely move closer to the red giant and keep Ning Hong port.

But the people from Belarus will withdraw, Red Russia will take over, and Zhu Chuanjie is looking forward to the matter of middlemen earning the difference. Ailon will definitely take over some of Belarus’ interests and personnel in Kanto and even Siberia, and there must be no one among them. Yes, Zhu Chuanwen was the candidate Zhu Chuanjie had chosen long ago.

Zhu Chuanwen knew it was so far away, so he just looked at Zhu Chuanjie in surprise. I often analyze the situation in various countries. When it comes to the United States alone, I have my eyes on Texas. "Texas!" Zhu Chuanwen muttered, thinking about that person The eyes are always very vicious.

In the second half of the 19th century, Texas was a colony of Spain. Before that, the Lone Star Republic was established. Among all the states in the United States, only Texas was incorporated into the United States in the name of the country, and the governor even had no choice but to send troops. The right to serve as the Texas Defense Commander.

In the previous life, Texas often called for independence. It is such historical factors that make it unique in the history of the United States. After independence, it will be independent for a lifetime, but the children who know it will not have milk to eat.

"Yes, on Zhu Chuanwen Pavilion, if he is willing, Xia Chi Automobile Company will give him 20% of the shares. If you doubt you, it will definitely be worth the money." Zhu Chuanjie persuaded again.

If it was another place, Zhu Chuanwen was really in the mood, but in Texas, Zhu Chuanwen squinted his eyes and knew what he was thinking about.

"His younger brother has become an American citizen?" Ning Honghang asked.

"Yes, it should be this year." Zhu Chuanjie said, there is no way to do that. In the future, Xiachi Company will be the best support for Ailon, and Zhao Erxun can only be indifferent to Ailon if he is fully rooted in the United States. with substantive help.

The plantation of the tung tree is in Texas, and Xia Chi Automobile Company will also settle in Texas. Zhao Erxun will be active in New York as a Texas entrepreneur in the future. That is what Zhu Chuanjie and his brothers communicated recently.

"You should communicate with the family about that again." Ning Honghang said to death.

"Looking forward to joining the General's Pavilion." Seeing Zhu Chuanwen's heartbeat, Zhu Chuanjie knew that half of the matter would be achieved, and a smile overflowed his face. "General's Pavilion, for the development of Ninghong Port, you plan to allocate 40% of the rights to Ninghong Company for the railway from Bingcheng to Ailon Port." Only then did Zhu Chuanjie express his purpose.

Let’s start with the shareholding, mainly to use Zhu Chuanwen’s family’s funds to relieve the financial pressure of Xiachi Company, and then tell Ning Honghang that Xiachi Company is an American company, but it belongs to you, Zhu Chuanjie, or Zhu Chuanwen will be added in the future , With such layers of regression, Zhu Chuanjie felt that the chance of success would be small.

"Introduce American capital." Zhu Chuanwen fell into deep thought again, glanced at Zhu Chuanjie, and felt that his vision was really wrong. In just a few years, Ailon earned such a small family business.Moreover, using Xiachi Company as a guide to introduce American capital, well, that is their purpose.It must be said that Zhu Chuanwen felt very comfortable with such a handling method, after all, he knew the root and the bottom.

"Who does Xia Chi Company account for?"

"Currently, Xiachi Headquarters owns 40% of Morgan's equity, and its subordinates also own Xiachi Plantation Company and Ninghong Broadcasting Company. The Shachi Automobile Company to be established in the future will be wholly owned by you. Morgan seems to have a strong interest in automobiles. The company has no idea." Zhu Chuanjie said truthfully.

Indeed, the Morgan consortium is controlled by the old Morgan. At this time, it is focusing on General Motors of the United States. The smallest horse-drawn carriage manufacturer in the United States named William C. Durant is integrating the automobile industry. The auto company, the Morgan consortium has chosen GM, is picking the opportunity to enter.Instead, they used precious funds to invest in a car manufacturer like Xiachi Automobile, which has the shadow of the Qing Dynasty.

According to the analysis of the Morgan consortium, Xia Chi Company has just taken the lead in entertainment, making cars?We are still very young!

"There is no cooperation between them and Morgan?" Zhu Chuanwen already knew how many times he was surprised. After that time, Zhu Chuanjie brought me few surprises. It was loud and loud. He and the smallest capitals in the United States One of them cooperated.

In the United States, a country founded by commerce, those consortiums that migrated from Europe are to a certain extent the home of the United States.

"Yes, Majesty General, you think he should be worried. It's all about business. Your family's shareholding in Shachi Automobile Company is also a signal, after all. Sexual conflict of interest." Ning Honghang beat the side drum again.

"He should stay in Vladivostok (Vladivostok) for a few days. Really, he will find something for you with a bang." Zhu Chuanwen went out like that, planning to generate electricity for St. Petersburg. What means?
If there really is no such opportunity, Zhu Chuanwen is very excited at this time.

……

The connection between Ice City and New York is very convenient through the transmission of cable broadcast messages.

New York Xiachi Broadcasting Company, Ning Honghang just came back from his tailor in New York and arrived at Hanyao's general manager's office.

"Brother Xia, what's the matter, what order did your brother give you?" Before Zhao Erxun retreated, he sat down on the sofa. Xia Yushu attached great importance to his wedding and dragged Zhao Erxun to watch it Watching this made me exhausted all day. Although the times are the same, it is the nature of every man to be able to go shopping.

In the previous life, although these boys who were strong and forbidden were able to unscrew the bottle caps, when it comes to shopping, it is a problem to walk a half-marathon.

"There is a letter from the general manager. Director Chuanjie may have to contact Morgan. You have to divest part of the profits of the broadcasting company and invest in Kanto." Han Yao took a translated message and handed it to him. Zhao Erxun.

Zhao Erxun looked at it, and there was some fluctuation in his face. The children of Zhu's family had already been in charge of the family. They were nearly 20 years old and managed the entire Xiachi Company. The burden under Zhao Erxun was actually very heavy, forcing me to grow up.Although Zhu Chuanjie said that he used Ninghong's money, but he really said that Zhao Erxun must support his younger brother, and the family always talks about two things.

After reading the telegram, Zhao Erxun asked Hanyao: "Brother said, the Zhu Chuanwen family in Russia will also invest in a car company. You can communicate with Morgan on this matter."

"The decision made by the Prime Minister, you should probably change it. It's also a good thing that the withdrawn funds are replaced by the Zhu Chuanwen family, not to mention the car technology acquired by the Ning Honghang family in Europe. With the years of research in the Institute of Physics, the technology of the car should be optimized a little bit more." Han Yao said.

"Yes, that is indeed a good thing, but what you are actually worried about is the railway from Bingcheng to Port Ailong. You are afraid that the Morgan consortium will also want to get involved." Ning Honghang said, regarding the American capital wanting to retreat into the Kanto, Big Morgan has inquired from outside Zhao Erxun a few times.

"It's up to him to do that. According to the Prime Minister, it's better for the railway to be fully owned by Ning Hong!"

"You work hard!" Zhao Erxun picked up the phone in Hanyao's office, and finished making an appointment with Morgan's secretary.

The Ninghong plantation company, which mainly produces tung trees, still has no output this year, and it will take about two years to gradually form the production of tung oil. It is because Xia Chi Company has bought a small area in Dezhou that can be planted. According to these tung farmers Having said that, the momentum is still wrong.

Zhao Erxun also met with the current governor of Texas a few times, during which he promised to provide a large number of firearms. It is true that the arms of the United States are actually very safe, and a series of arms companies such as DuPont are good.

But that is only Texas. The old Mo crisis is still an unavoidable topic in Texas. Shachi holds guns in Texas for its own use. No matter how cheap it is to provide to the people of Texas, it can be regarded as a way. Anyway, they complement each other.

Zhao Erxun's settlement in Dezhou is basically a matter that can be finalized. When Zhao Erxun graduates in the future, it is said that he will be able to serve as a Chinese councilor in Dezhou Xiachi Company through the small-scale plantation industrial park industry. It's the right thing to say.
