Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 480 Nanyang Chinese Self-Preservation Association

In later generations, although the country of Indonesia seems to be not well-known, in fact, this country consisting of more than 1 islands has a land area of ​​more than 190 million square kilometers, ranking 15th in the world, and a population of more than 2.5 million. Next to China, India, and the United States, it ranks fourth in the world.

Such a country lies between Asia and Oceania, and in Zhu Chuanwen's view, it is a real strategic location.

It may be the difference between renting a house and buying a house. The Dutch occupied this place until Indonesia finally became independent. It took a full 350 years. As for development, there are only two words, huh, huh.

And in Hanyao Rubber Plantation of Dongwanlu, a special mobilization meeting is going on...

"Someone asked about alienation just now, right?" Lan Yishan finally got the momentum and said, "I won't explain the so-called alienation in writing. It's a popular philosophical word in Europe, but it was adopted by Dutch People have actually applied it to Borneo, and I think you have also felt it. The Malays on the edge of your manor have been restless recently, right?

Everywhere there is class, in Borneo, and throughout the East Indies, the Dutch are at the top of the society, is that okay? Lan Yishan glanced at the people standing below, saw that no one refuted, and started a performance of his own.

The traces of imitation are too heavy, and Zhu Chuanwen's shadow is everywhere in every gesture...

"The Dutch have already begun to brainwash the Malays. In the concept of Malays, we! We Chinese with Han blood flowing in our bodies! We are the enemies of the Malays!

Why?Because we control too many economic, political and cultural resources, I remember that Mr. Zhang Bishi has run no less than a dozen schools in our Dutch East India, but now, Mr. Xiao Zhang, can you tell me your How many schools are there left that my father ran? "

"Basuo!" Zhang Zhihan didn't expect this person to ask a question, and thought for a while, but there was an indescribable regret in his tone.

The Zhang family is the richest man in Nanyang these years, with a great reputation and the most complicated interpersonal relationship. With the help of the Zhang family, in fact, these Chinese families around Dongwanlu have sent their own speakers here.

"So, what about the rest of the schools?"

"Either it was smashed by the local Malays, or ordered to be demolished by the Dutch!" Zhang Zhihan said truthfully, why the Zhang Chamber of Commerce followed Hanyao, even now he couldn't figure it out. Send father's order.

"Why?" Lan Yishan stared at Zhang Zhihan with burning eyes.

"This...maybe our Chinese school can't integrate into the local area. After all, Captain Blue, you can also see that the proportion of Chinese in the entire East India is not much."

"Wrong!" Lan Yishan said categorically, and then lifted a covered map. This is a map of the entire territory of Borneo, which is roughly what it looks like.

"It's because we are not united. Although we Chinese occupy the middle class in Nanyang, we are not united. We see other Chinese business houses being resisted by Malays. We see the Dutch collecting heavy taxes. We only think about how to raise For my own production, I only think about which aspects I should pay more attention to in the coming year.

We are so kind!

However, patriarchs, it is no longer the time to continue to be kind. The current situation is very critical. The alienation of the Dutch is to support the Malays who work for you.They regard us Chinese as a stumbling block leading to their poverty and backwardness, and the Malays throughout East India regard us as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, but they ignore it. Over the years, the biggest customers of our Chinese business firms are the Dutch.

It is the Dutch who are constantly plundering and aggressing this place economically, and now, the Dutch want to recover greater profits, and they are going to attack us.One end is the top-down pressure of the Dutch, and the other end is the bottom-up resistance of the Malays, but we have become the meat of these two forces, and everyone wants to take a bite.

Dear patriarchs, are you sure you can still stand still in the future turmoil? "

Lan Yishan’s words are powerful. The Chinese in Borneo still have the habit of living in groups in that land. They like to live in groups. Families take root here. The Chinese are very adaptable to the place. In order to integrate into this multi-ethnic area, Lan Yishan Shan can see the efforts of these patriarchs who came to this place today.

Some believe in Buddhism, and more believe in Buddhism, but being able to come to Nanyang Hanyao Rubber Plantation proves that they have not forgotten their race.

Perhaps these words were spoken by Zhang Bishi, the richest man in Nanyang, and it would be more deafening, but at present, Lan Yishan only saw a few surprised faces, that's all.

After being silent for a long time, Lan Yishan recalled in his mind Zhu Chuanwen's mobilization in the auditorium, on the playground, and on the insurance team's school field.
What's missing? What's missing is the people's hearts cultivated by Zhu Chuanwen for many years!
When you go to a place, if you make some shocking remarks, someone will fight with you with their heads up. Are the Chinese in Nanyang stupid?
Finally, the embarrassment was broken: "Captain Lan, I don't know what these two maps mean." A patriarch asked Lan Yishan.

Lan Yishan didn't come up with a name, but continued on: "Patriarchs, you have been protected by Lanfang Kingdom and have been safe for decades, but now the last lingering charm of Lanfang Kingdom is gone. I have heard the word from the Dutch that the Dutch are about to start expulsing the Chinese here."

Expulsion!This remark can be regarded as a stone stirring up a thousand waves.

There was a lively discussion.

"Everyone, please be quiet. We, Hanyao, are here to help you restore the current situation." After receiving some feedback, Lan Yishan finally regained some confidence, "I will tell you about the story of the child's night walk holding the gold utensil." Not to mention, this first picture is the temporary business territory of Hanyao Trading Co., Ltd. in Borneo in the future. At present, it has been approved by the Governor of Borneo in the Netherlands. We will start planting rubber trees in a large area here. Develop your own industry and build your own port in Pontianak."

Hearing that the survivors of Lanfang like themselves were going to be expelled, while Hanyao was going to develop here, the patriarchs couldn't help but start muttering in their hearts, what exactly are they going to say today.

"Patriarchs, I don't know if you will be expelled in the future, but I promise here that as long as there is my Nanyang Hanyao Chamber of Commerce, as long as you maintain a cooperative relationship with the Nanyang Hanyao Chamber of Commerce, the Dutch will not treat you Make a move." Lan Yishan pointed to the second map of the whole territory of Borneo, "This is the British colony in the northern part of Borneo.

We, Hanyao, are currently the Chamber of Commerce for the British to transport iron ore to them in the future, and the future caravans of our Nanyang Trading Company are stationed here. The British will start mining iron ore and gold mines in eastern Borneo. You guys have also heard that we, Hanyao, have accepted the work of mining, transporting, and guarding.

On this matter, the Malay governor of the United Kingdom and the Dutch governor of Borneo are negotiating. I am telling you temporarily that there will be a large number of manpower recruitment in the future, so I still have to trouble the patriarchs. "Lan Yishan changed the subject and started talking about business.

The patriarchs were dumbfounded, and they secretly thought, no wonder Han Yao's waist is so hard, it turned out that he also climbed on the thigh of the British, which is thicker than the Dutch.

Not long after, someone said that there are many families engaged in gold mining in the survivors of Lanfang Kingdom around Dongwanlu.

"Lee's Firm can provide 300 Malay miners."

"May's Firm can provide 700 Malay miners."

"Nguyen's Trading Company can provide 400 Malay miners."

……

Finally, Lan Yishan showed a smile. These people seemed to know from various channels how the Dutch would deal with them in the future. This was a step towards Han Yao's ship.

"Write it all down and report it to Director Gu later." Lan Yishan instructed Lu Tingyun who was behind him.

"Okay, everyone, now that the business is over, we, the general manager of Hanyao Commercial Bank, proposed to establish the Nanyang Chinese Self-Preservation Association..."

……

Ice City, Zhu's Manor

At the end of April, an unusual old man gave the Hanyao Chamber of Commerce his idea of ​​coming to Bingcheng. He set off from Yantai, went all the way, and finally arrived here, and directly to Zhu's Manor.

"Mr. Zhang, this is Mr. Zhu Chuanwen, the helm of Hanyao. This is Mr. Zhu Chuanwen's father, Mr. Zhu Kaishan!" Xia Yuanzhang introduced the Zhu family father and son to this old man in a long gown.

The arrival of Zhang Bishi is a major event for the Zhu family recently.

Young, this is Zhang Bishi's first impression of Zhu Chuanwen. Although the two have been in correspondence for a long time, they still dare not recognize each other because Zhu Chuanwen is too young. Whether it is right or wrong for commercial banks to help each other with all their strength.

However, thinking about the current changes in Bingcheng, he still made up his mind and greeted Zhu's father and son with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, let's go in and talk. Ice City is no better than Nanyang, and we still have to cover it in spring to avoid the wind and cold." Zhu Chuanwen smiled and invited Zhu Kaishan inside.

"Mr. Zhu, there is something I still can't understand recently. I hope you can help me clear up." Some are worried.

When people get old, they naturally start to look forward and backward. More than 60 years old will not be considered an old age in later generations, but Zhang Bishi is already a little trembling at this time.

"Say it!" Zhu Chuanwen was very polite.

"I arrived in Ice City yesterday, and I took the time to take the tram in your Ice City in the evening. On the tram, I found a strange thing. When a pregnant woman came up, there was a foreigner who gave up his seat to the pregnant woman in Ice City. It's strange. It's strange, over the years, I've seen a lot of high-spirited foreigners, but this is the first time I've seen such kind foreigners."

Xia Yuanzhang had been with Zhang Bishi since yesterday. To put it bluntly, it was Zhu Chuanwen who felt that the two of them still had a little connection.After all, Xia Yuanzhang was considered the son-in-law of the Li family in Hefei, and Zhang Bishi, a legendary businessman in Nanyang, had also received the support of Sheng Xuanhuai and the help of Li Hongzhang.

Xia Yuanzhang whispered a few words into Zhu Chuanwen's ear, and Zhu Chuanwen understood: "That's really strange. The tram in my ice city has not been in operation for a long time. Mr. Zhang met such a good thing to help the old, weak, sick and pregnant. .

In fact, this matter is not difficult to understand. The foreigner you mentioned who gave up his seat was a foreign language teacher in my Hanyao University. As for the inner activities of giving up his seat, I don’t know. Innate self-proclaimed it. "

"Hey, what's so hard to understand." Zhu Kaishan heard that his son's series of words didn't hit the point, but he opened his mouth, "Mr. Zhang, don't listen to what Chuanwen says. Just one thing, you go to the security team station in Bingcheng tomorrow to see, go to the police station in Bingcheng, now we Bingcheng people account for the majority, and we still have guns in our hands, grandma, foreigners are tigers outside, When the dragon arrived in Bingcheng, Du Te Niang lay down and coiled up for me, and turned against them!"

Zhu Chuanwen never hides in front of Zhu Kaishan, but when he comes to outsiders, this unknown character likes to hide and hide, and Lao Zhu has not been used to it for a long time.

But in fact, Zhu Chuanwen has too many secrets in his mind, which has become his character.

Cheung Fatt Tze laughed, transparent!It’s the reason why you have a strong gun, but you and Zhu Kaishan immediately got acquainted, and didn’t care about this man’s swearing: "Brother Zhu! Can I call you that?"

"That! Brother Zhang?" Zhu Kaishan also tried to shout.

"That's a good name!" Zhang Bishi agreed with a smile, because when they met for the first time, they also used stories to narrow the distance: "Mr. Your Zhu family has a gun, but mine is purely a commercial confrontation..."

"Then, tell me?" Zhu Kaishan smiled and walked to the place where Xia Yuanzhang was standing. From left to right, Zhu Chuanwen, Zhang Bishi, and Zhu Kaishan walked towards the reception hall of Zhu's Manor.

"It was more than ten years ago. I planned to go from Bacheng to Singapore. Mr. Zhu is familiar with these two places." Zhang Bishi did not neglect Zhu Chuanwen, but he also knew Zhu Chuanwen's importance in Hanyao. From Gu'an to Xia Yuanzhang, all Hanyao executives always treat this person's instructions at the highest level, and a keen businessman can always distinguish the weight of a person from the tone of others.

"I'm familiar with it too. Isn't Bacheng the residence of the Dutch East Indies Governor's Mansion? On Java Island, this name is also ugly!" Zhu Kaishan underestimated.

"Yes, yes, it's good that Brother Zhu is familiar with it. My Zhang's firm is not as talented as you Hanyao. At that time, I was running the business in person. I remember that day very clearly. It was an afternoon in September. There were four of us in a group. , I plan to take the liner of the German Shipping Company, and the time of that class is just right. I clearly told the manager who went to buy the ticket to buy 9 first-class official class tickets, but when I came back, I only bought 4 first-class official class ticket. 1 steerage tickets."

"No more tickets?" Zhu Kaishan was very talented.

"No, this is what annoys me the most. I am accompanied by a steward, a housekeeper, and a German doctor. The steward who bought the ticket told me this: "German ships stipulate that Chinese are not allowed to buy official class tickets. The cabin ticket was bought by a German doctor. ""

"Damn it!" Zhu Kaishan got angry when he heard that.

"Brother, I was just like you. I scolded you like that. I just smashed the big imperial kiln royal blue vase rewarded by Empress Dowager Cixi on the floor and smashed it to pieces."

"Well smashed!" Zhu Kaishan praised like a man of the same kind. I don't know if he said it was a good way to let go, or that Cixi, a witch, smashed things well.

"What about the end?" Zhu Chuanwen asked about the follow-up.

"Why can't the Chinese take the official cabin? I, Zhang Bishi, refused to accept it. I will not do this liner, and I will not go to Singapore. I returned to the headquarters of my Chang's firm in Sumatra from Java Island. I made up my mind that the Qing government was incapable. I, Mr. Zhang, will handle the merchant shipping!" Zhang Bishi is still full of confidence when talking about the past ten years ago.

"My Yuchang Ocean Shipping Company and Guangfu Ocean Shipping Company were established in that year. I also called a group of Chinese from Nanyang to invest in shares and told them about this many times. By the way, I also have a line dedicated to The German ship took a route, and I, Zhang, bear the loss myself, which is half the fare of the same official class in Germany, and I did the worst thing." Zhang Bishi said.

"What?" Zhu's father and son said in unison.

"I don't sell official cabin tickets to the Germans. They want to take my boat and go to steerage!" Zhang Bishi said, laughing loudly.

"Brother Zhang, I yelled from the bottom of my heart, I agree!" Zhu Kaishan gave a thumbs up to Zhang Bishi, to be honest, this matter was relieved.
