Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 481 Hanyao's "small" dock

Zhang Bishi's visit, under the support of Zhu Kaishan, is going on in a friendly manner, and the distance between people is also rapidly shortening...

The Zhu family attached great importance to Zhang Bishi's visit, and this luncheon was personally hosted by Zheng Xingwen, a famous chef of the Binjiang Mansion, which gave this Nanyang veteran a taste of a different Kanto flavor.

"Everyone, how about we go to the study and talk about it?" Zhu Chuanwen suggested after the banquet.

After deliberating, Zhu Kaishan, Zhu Chuanwen, Zhang Bishi, and Xia Yuanzhang moved towards the study of Zhu's manor.

Just as he was about to go upstairs, Zhu Chuanwen saw Secretary Xia Yuanzhang whispering a few words in his ear. Xia Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly, and he stopped at the stairs. Old Zhu also saw his son's stop, and he led Zhang Bishi to go up first Lou, brother and brother are very affectionate.

"Mr. Prime Minister, something happened to the Hanyao Headquarters in the Black Province in Qiqi City. I might have to go to Song Xiaolian's side!" Xia Yuanzhang walked towards Zhu Chuanwen quickly, his tone was very light, but he didn't care. Appear impatient.

"Is it troublesome?"

"A bit tricky!"

"Can you handle it?"

"No problem!" Xia Yuanzhang's assurance was straightforward.

"then you go……"

"This old gentleman?" Xia Yuanzhang began to look upstairs, but Zhu Kaishan and Zhang Bishi had disappeared.

Why does Hanyao attach so much importance to Zhang Bishi? In the final analysis, this is a partner unanimously recognized by the Hanyao Council, and is now constantly developing towards a "comrade in arms" in the same trench.

Counting Hanyao’s current partners in detail, Tsarist Russia has the Andre family, and Japan has the Yasuda Chamber of Commerce, but the only one who can really be favored by Zhu Chuanwen and think it is useful is the Nanyang Zhang family. After all, everyone else He has his own calculations.Of course, not to mention that the Nanyang Zhang family has no abacus, but it has the same goal as the Kanto Zhu family.

Seeking common ground while reserving differences, the Zhu family is now leading the way for the richest man in Nanyang.

"It's okay, I found out that since my father became the wing chief of this Ji province, he has become better at dancing than me." Seeing Xia Yuanzhang's relaxed tone, Zhu Chuanwen told him to let him go.But for my father, I really envy him. Lao Zhu's temperament is really not imitated by ordinary people. It seems vulgar, but with his bones, he is very likable.

"The in-laws are also extraordinary people." Xia Yuanzhang said politely, and then hurriedly said: "President, then I will leave first."

Public is public and private is private. After Xia Yuanzhang took charge of the entire financial work in Heilongjiang Province, the distinction became clearer.

When Zhu Chuanwen walked into his study, he found that his father and Zhang Bishi had already drunk Keemun Red, and the room smelled strongly of black tea.

"Mr. Zhu, your tea is strong but not greasy, can you divide it into two?" Zhang Bishi asked.

Zhu Chuanwen rolled his eyes slightly, "Mr. Zhang, in Shangyanshang, the name of this tea is Qimen Hong. I have one catty. It's nothing to divide the old man's two taels. I will bring you half a catty when I leave."

"really?"

"Really! But only within the current capacity of Hanyao. In the future, Nanyang's investment promotion will require more Zhang's firms."

"Enough, enough!"

Zhu Kaishan looked at the two people who were playing riddles, but he didn't say a word, and vaguely felt that it was the division of interests in the future of Borneo.

"Mr. Zhu, I heard about Nanyang. Is this the Nanyang Chinese Self-Preservation Association?"

"Mr. Zhang, the Nanyang Chinese Self-Preservation Association is actually a loose organization. It is supported by Lan Yishan for the time being. I think Borneo will soon become less peaceful. I will support the Chinese in Nanyang when necessary. They are all people who have left home, and it is not easy to find a support. I think you have also received some news..."

"Yes, Mr. Zhu, but now buying and selling arms in Borneo is not a good thing. The Dutch will realize it soon." Zhang Bishi did not like this radical idea.

"Old man, take a look." Zhu Chuanwen didn't answer, but got up and passed the information returned by Lan Yishan on the table to Zhang Bishi.

Zhang Bishi took out his reading glasses from his jacket pocket, held the paper far away, squinted his eyes, and read out unconsciously: "The Li family in Borneo purchased 100 guns, the Mei family purchased 150, and the Ruan family purchased 300... ..." In total, more than 3000 long guns and 10,000+ rounds of ammunition were sold. "Mr. Zhu, what are you?"

"The Prophet of Spring River Plumbing Duck, old man, these families in Nanyang know the dangers of the future better than us."

"However, with your caravan guard of nearly a thousand people, how can you resist the tens of thousands of Malay troops mobilized by Pondinak Sultan in response?"

"Tens of thousands of Malay troops?" Zhu Chuanwen laughed, "What the old man is really worried about is that after my thousand men defeat the tens of thousands of Malay troops, will the Dutch behind us be unable to sit still?"

Zhang Bishi acquiesced that it was not difficult for the well-armed Han Yao to defeat the Malay army of tens of thousands. The Malay army still held spears, and the focus was indeed on the Dutch.

"Mr. Zhang, I also give you a reassurance. At present, in the British colony in northern Borneo, I still have a Borneo detachment of 4000 people stationed there. If there is danger, just stick to it for one day. The Borneo detachment can quickly support. This is not the thousand people in Dongwanlu, but the regular Kanto Zhujia insurance team!"

For the Kanto Zhujia Insurance Team, Zhang Bishi nodded inwardly, and was about to say that it was not enough. Even if 5000 people were added to the 3000 local Chinese, it would only be 8000. If the Dutch did their best, it would take a little effort.

"Mr. Zhang, this is the first time we have met. It was not appropriate to talk about these weapons, but since you asked, I can be regarded as a light on my Zhu family's family background. Together with the war, Shan Shuxin, a member of the Zhu family's insurance team, The column group will be mobilized, carried by merchant ships, and landed in the British colony in northern Borneo. But if this is the case, it will be completely torn apart from the Dutch.”

"Column group?" Zhang Bishi muttered, not familiar with the Zhu family's methods at all.

"Chuanwen, do you really intend to move Shan Shuxin's eastern column group?" Zhu Kaishan asked with some horror. This is a column group with full range of infantry, cavalry, and artillery. According to recent news from Zhu Kaishan, the first batch of Hanyao water tanks were first equipped with the eastern column group, and the coordinated tactics of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and tanks are currently being developed.

"Brother Zhu, how many people are there in this column?"

"The full staff is 37500 people!" Zhu Kaishan was surprised, but he also explained.

"Slap!" Zhang Bishi's glasses fell to the ground. He knew that the young man in front of him was really planning to break the sky in Nanyang, and what was even more surprising was that Zhu's family was in the Kanto region. indivual.

"Mr. Zhang." Zhu Chuanwen bowed slightly, and picked up the glasses on the ground, "This is the worst plan, before the time to tear face with the Dutch, I really want to tear face, my Zhu family will definitely do it in advance Get ready. Besides, my Zhu family is on the sea, but I don’t have any ability now, so you can only rot in your heart.”

Zhu Chuanwen was very relieved of Zhang Bishi. After all, this old man had done his best to take root for Hanyao Trading Company in Nanyang in the early stage. He Zhu Chuanwen recognized this old man, and his patriotism had never been extinguished. The money was all collected by the Chinese in Nanyang, and Zhang Bishi contributed a lot.

Now it's just after the destruction of Lanfang country, I'm a little disheartened. After all, the Republic of China didn't give a shit about these Lanfang survivors. It's the same in the north and the south. It's Hanyao who is carrying the pressure of the Dutch at this time and is strong. Enter the sphere of influence of the former site of Lanfang Kingdom.

"Mr. Zhu, are you sure about this?"

"Yes!" Zhu Chuanwen said with certainty.

"The ocean liner under Zhang's Commercial Bank will provide convenience at that time!" Zhang Bishi hesitated for a long time, but still made a promise.

"That would be great." Zhu Chuanwen also laughed, but it was just icing on the cake. After all, the Dutch may never have imagined that a commercial company located 5000 kilometers away would actually have the idea of ​​their colony. , The Zhu family is in the dark, this is the advantage.

"Mr. Zhu, I think you still overlooked a problem." Zhang Bishi still said.

"what?"

"Sea power!"

"The Dutch's army in the East India is indeed not strong. I believe that your column group in Borneo will definitely be able to maneuver freely, but what about sea power? Occupying Borneo, according to our previous discussion in the letter, but has Tens of millions of immigrants will come to Borneo. All the liners of my Zhang's firm will run this route from Hong Kong to Pontianak Port. There will be tens of millions of people, and I will have to ship them for 3 years.

For 3 years, can the Dutch watch us continue to transport people from Hong Kong? "

Regarding sea power, Zhu Chuanwen did not expect that Zhang Bishi, who came to meet him, was the first person to raise the issue of sea power for his layout in Borneo.

At present, there is a fictitious world's No. [-] iron mine that is swaying the appetite of the British. A small number of garrisons is really within the tolerance of the British. But if the insurance team is sent to Nanyang with more than one column group, how will the British choose? Zhu Chuanwen really really dare not bet.Before the Battle of Jutland, Britain, the number one overlord at sea, had never felt threatened. It was necessary for the British to agree to this matter.

"As long as the British keep their eyes on this high-quality iron mine, our relationship with the UK will be solid for the time being." Zhu Chuanwen did not specify what the future will be like, but he mentioned the urgent needs of the British at present. An unprecedented naval arms race.

The condition Gu Ansheng gave to the British was that Hanyao built two large-scale iron ore factories within one year within the scope of the former site of Lanfangguo, and provided them with high-quality steel. This was considered to have moved the British.

"People have me and I have nothing!" Zhang Bishi said with emotion.

After the destruction of the Beiyang Fleet, it was really a state of having everything and nothing.

"Mr. Zhang, why don't you follow me to see Hanyao's small dock by the Songjiang River?"

"You Hanyao can still build ships?"

"It's getting late today, Mr. Zhang, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick you up to Hanyao's small dock." Zhu Chuanwen stood up as he spoke, and Zhang Bishi's first meeting with Zhu Chuanwen was here. ended.

"Chuanwen, do you value this Nanyang Zhang family so much?" asked Zhu Kaishan who had been watching for a long time after Zhang Bishi left.

"Father, Borneo cannot be the territory of my Zhu family. My Zhu family can't support the development of this big island. I want to attract all the Chinese from Southeast Asia to Borneo, and I want to drive the Dutch out of Borneo. These Chinese families who have taken root in Nanyang for hundreds of years are our goals.

Lan Fangguo was too petty back then, and did not divide his own interests. He settled in a corner and allowed the Dutch to gain a firm foothold in Borneo before destroying the country. The lesson from the past is the lesson from the past, and I will unite these people. "

"Then Kanto?" Zhu Kaishan asked.

"Kandong is our base camp, Dad, even if you are willing, I am also reluctant to throw this place out."

……

And in the suite of the Modern Hotel in Bingcheng, Zhang Bishi was sitting quietly by himself. Today, all the news he received was too comprehensive, and he couldn't believe it went smoothly. This Zhu Chuanwen had nothing to hide from him. , fully demonstrated to him his security guarantee for Nanyang.After all, safety is the core of a rich company's development of this idea, otherwise anyone can come and take a bite, but why is it a bit unreliable...

"Master, Manager Ruan is here."

"please come in!"

Ruan Yinggang, the manager of Zhang's Commercial Bank in the Republic of China, Zhang's Commercial Bank has a lot of business contacts with businessmen in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai every year. goods.

"Ying Gang, it's a bit late!" Zhang Bishi said when they met.

"General Manager, you are traveling through the Zhu family's exclusive channel. The Zhu family is fully prepared for your arrival." Ruan Yinggang explained with a smile.He came from Shanghai, two days later than Zhang Bishi left Yantai, and he did his best.

"I saw Zhu's father and son today."

"how?"

"At first, Zhu Chuanwen didn't impress me deeply. I liked this Master Zhu Kaishan quite a bit, but after that, this Zhu Chuanwen kept surprising me. This one wants to build a country in Borneo!"

"Jianguo?" Ruan Yinggang's voice became higher.

"Yes, he just wants to build a country in Nanyang. Although he keeps talking about the commercial territory, this is to build a country in Nanyang, and it is a country built by business like the United States!" Zhang Bishi said.

"General Manager, let's follow, or..."

Zhang Bishi was silent for a long time, "Follow me! I was only 20 years old when Lan Fangguo was really defeated by the Dutch. It was the collapse of Lan Fang Company that gave me a chance to rise. I also thought that if I was born 20 earlier I might be able to be the chief (president) in Lanfangguo in 70, but I never thought that this opportunity was really given to me when I was nearly 20 years old. Now I can’t wait to be born [-] years later!
This Prime Minister Zhu Chuanwen has never played tricks on me. What he said is the truth. He has more military power on land than you gave me before. I thought that last year, it was Han Yao Longteng At that time, I didn't expect that they played a move outside the chessboard of the Republic of China. "

"General Manager, I've also heard about this. The Zhu family now completely relies on Yuan Shikai, and Sun, whom you support...is the opposite."

Sun... Zhang Bishi waved his hand, obviously not wanting to hear this name.

At first I thought it was a Qianlong, but I didn't expect that in the end, the whole south was still a mess.

But Zhang Bishi just didn't want to hear it, Ruan Yinggang still wanted to say: "General manager, maybe you have finished your trip to Ice City and you have to go back to Yantai again."

"What?" At this time, Zhang Bishi's heart is all in Nanyang. On the former site of Lan Fangguo in Borneo, Zhu Chuanwen promised 5% of the benefits. These must be the minerals, land, etc. of the Malays. He wants to go back and organize research and develop.

"The secretary of Mr. Jinling sent me a telegram. He heard that you are in Yantai and said he wanted to visit you!" Ruan Yinggang said.

"He's coming to Yantai?"

"Changyu Chateau to be precise!" Ruan Yinggang added.

"Then let him come. When old friends meet, they have to say a few words of greeting." Zhang Bishi lost the dislike just now. After all, he is an investor. Since he is coming, let's take a look. But this time, he I don't plan to pay any more money, Nanyang Zhang's money will be useful in the future.
