Fengxian Jiangshan

The annual fiscal revenue of the Beiyang government is only 8000 to 500 million. After more than two years of rapid development in the three northeastern provinces, the fiscal revenue has just exceeded 700 million, which is not much different from Beiyang, but Fengjun has too many places to spend money. Still carrying a deficit of about [-] million.

Zhang Tinglan now took out [-] million yuan in an instant in order to buy the bottom of Germany, and it was an early investment, which really surprised everyone. Could this man turn stone into gold, and can easily conjure up so much money? ?

And from Zhang Tinglan's point of view, [-] million is just the beginning, and there will be more investment in the future. Where did the money come from? It's really hard to understand!

Although everyone knows that Zhang Tinglan seized the princes of the Eight Banners in the Beijing and Tianjin area and got a lot of money, but the money is the common property of Fengjun after all, can Lao Zhang agree to hand it all over to Zhang Tinglan?It was obviously a joke. During this period of time, Fengjun had a lot of hidden expenditures to expand its military strength. In addition, the Jifeng Railway is also under construction. These are big money burners. No matter how you calculate it, Zhang Tinglan will not make so much money.

They don't know, it doesn't mean that Zhang Tinglan is talking nonsense, he does have so much money, and the 5 million yuan is just put on the table for these business delegations to use, Zhang Tinglan still holds a secret fund in his hand, Used to purchase more cutting-edge technology.These technologies are not willing to be sold to China by Western countries. Zhang Tinglan is ready to use money to open the way. The world is as black as crows, and ** is not unique in the West. It is also possible to take advantage of it. It depends on whether you are willing to spend money. money.

Zhang Tinglan still holds two secret sources of funds, one is drug income, and the other is counterfeit money. Fengjun controlled the sales of Rehe opium back then, and Zhang Tinglan made these opium into morphine, which is more dependent. Sold to Japan and Russia.

In addition, a lot of morphine was bought in Europe and the United States in the name of medicine.During the First World War, in order to ensure the high morale of the soldiers, the various belligerent countries also let the soldiers take drugs.The people suffering from the war have also become extremely empty and need to fill it with drugs. Naturally, Zhang Tinglan went to the end and bought the morphine to Britain, France and other countries.

Back then, the British used opium to knock on the door of China, but now the laws of nature have reincarnated, and more powerful drugs from China are also flooding the UK.For two years, on drugs.Zhang Tinglan made a huge profit of at least 1 million yuan. Most of the money was stored in a secret overseas account, and it was also prepared for the bottom-hunting operation.

In addition to drugs, printing fake dollars is also an important windfall income, and printing counterfeit money is nothing new.The governments of various countries have done it, and the largest scale is probably Germany in World War II.Hitler printed huge amounts of British pounds that could be mistaken for real ones.It even contributed to the US dollar replacing the pound as the world currency.

Zhang Tinglan took control of the mint very early on, and printing counterfeit money was also put on the daily routine. After much calculation, Zhang Tinglan chose to print Japanese yen, not because Zhang Tinglan hated the Japanese.I just want to cheat them, but it is easier to imitate the yen.

The currencies of other countries have a variety of anti-counterfeiting methods, which cannot be produced with Fengtian's ability.The main anti-counterfeiting means of the yen is paper. The Japanese believe that the three-summer tree that prints the yen is unique to Japan. The printed paper and pen have a special luster that others cannot imitate at all, so they relax other anti-counterfeiting means.

This is the typical mentality of an island country. China has a vast land and abundant resources, and it also has three cedar trees, which are produced in Anhui. Zhang Tinglan secretly circled a large forest and has sufficient raw materials in his hands.

After continuous research by the masters of the Mint, a fake Japanese yen was successfully imitated. In the first year, 5000 million yen was printed, and this year it printed 2 million yuan.

In this era, Japan and China had close ties, and the Japanese sent a large number of spies to China. Zhang Tinglan could also take advantage of this openness to place people in Japan. These holiday dollars flowed to Japan and also to the world.

In addition to these two secret sources of income, Zhang Tinglan sold land along the Middle East Road, shorted the ruble and Russian bonds, and supported the military operations of the United States and Japan to intervene in Russia. Fengjun sold a large amount of war materials.

With these lucrative projects, Zhang Tinglan can bluntly say that he can come up with 5 million yuan based on his own strength alone.Of course, he will not disclose these secrets to the public, so he just smiled and said to the people present: "Although there is a lot of money, I hope everyone will think carefully about how to spend it. After all, our foundation is still too weak." , Even a penny must be broken in half. Really useful things are worth how much money you spend, and useless things can’t be wasted. And I can tell you clearly that Fengjun will send secret personnel to supervise Every member of the purchasing group who finds that you have embezzled and wasted the money can directly deal with it according to the military law and shoot it on the spot, there is no mercy!"

Zhang Tinglan's words were full of murderous intent, and everyone present also felt a strong murderous intent. The young man in front of him did what he said, and he held the military, political and business power in his hands, so he could easily crush anyone to death. Offended Zhang Tinglan is even more terrifying than offending Zhang Zuolin, they all have a score in their hearts.

"Old sir, Mr. Kuang and I will lead the team when we go to Europe this time. I am mainly in charge of industrial and commercial investment representatives. He is responsible for building a team of experts to evaluate talents and technologies. They confirm the value. We weigh the pros and cons and strive to make good use of the money. !"

Regarding Xia Han's proposal, Zhang Tinglan nodded, and then said: "In addition to you, I will ask Chen Qiming to form another military industry delegation. As long as the relevant expenses are related, the three parties must sign and confirm together. If one party is missing, there is no way to obtain funds." support."

"Okay, this way, everyone has the time to go wrong, but with three eyes, it is not easy to make mistakes!" Kuang Rongguang said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, I will go to recruit people now, and within ten days , we can go."

"I have one more point to remind you that the Western powers are very strict against the Chinese. Many technologies will not be sold to us. You need to make more batches of skins. You can use the banner of Belarus or the United States. Japan's flag, in short, we must pay attention to concealing ourselves."

Zhang Tinglan repeatedly reminded him several times, and then Xia Han and other talents left together. It's no wonder Zhang Tinglan was nagging. We can achieve each other's strengths and weaknesses in a short period of time, and after a few years of digestion, we will be able to compete with Japan.

If you fail this time, you will have such a good opportunity only after the Great Depression. It will be ten years later, and the technological development is changing with each passing day. Don't try to take advantage of the Japanese in the technical field.

Leading technology means that less cost can be used on the battlefield in exchange for greater victories, otherwise they can only use their lives to pay for it. To put it bluntly, Xia Han and the others are buying their lives with money this time!

Fengtian's delegation stepped up preparations and quickly organized. They drew up a catalog of more than 70 pages, which listed in detail various industrial technologies and talents that were lacking. With this catalog, Xia Han, Kwong Rongguang and Chen Qiming set out together with a purchasing group of more than [-] people. They first arrived in Tianjin by train, and then they were going to take a passenger ship to Europe.

Just when they arrived at Tianjin Port, a lively farewell ceremony was also going on here, and the Chinese delegation to the Paris Peace Conference was about to leave.

The Entente group defeated the Germans, and when it was time to enjoy the fruits of victory, how could they let it go? The countries decided to hold a peace conference in Paris to discuss how to deal with the German issue. As one of the victorious countries, China also sent its own delegation.

The head of the delegation is Minister of Foreign Affairs Lu Zhengxiang, Minister Shi Zhaoji to the UK, Minister Gu Weijun to the United States and others. They also board the same passenger ship to go to Europe.

After boarding the ship, Lu Zhengxiang blushed and said to the reporters who heard the news: "This time the Chinese government is participating in the Paris Peace Conference. As the party of the victorious country, we should enjoy the power of the victorious country. The government has drawn up a total of Seven conditions: the abolition of the sphere of influence; the withdrawal of foreign police forces and patrols; the abolition of foreign post offices and wired and wireless telegraph offices; the abolition of consular jurisdiction; the return of the leased land; the return of the concession; the realization of the right to customs freedom."

When Lu Zhengxiang said this, his face was flushed and he seemed full of confidence. He continued: "My fellow citizens, diplomacy is like a battlefield. We are soldiers who go out to fight. We will definitely do our best to fight for the benefits that we deserve for the country. Hear our good news, everyone!"

After Lu Zhengxiang finished speaking, he took big strides and boarded the ship with high spirits. All the reporters present were also very excited and cheered enthusiastically for these diplomats.

Compared with Lu Zhengxiang and others who were extremely lively, although Fengtian's purchasing group had an advantage in numbers, it was deserted and deserted, and no one cared about them.

The ship slowly sailed out of the port, and standing on the deck, Xia Han smiled and asked Kuang Rongguang, "Which one of the seven things Lu Zhengxiang proposed just now can be realized?"

Kuang Rongguang smiled wryly and shook his head: "According to me, don't even try to realize one of them. If you abolish these seven, China will become an independent country. How can the big powers run rampant? If nothing else, just withdraw their troops. Will the Kwantung Army withdraw from the South Manchuria Railway? Isn’t this just like a dream!”

Chen Qiming also sneered and said: "Power is justice. If the great powers become reasonable, the world will be turned upside down. I heard Zhuo Yan once said that he was very pessimistic about this peace conference. If he can take back Shandong's power, he should burn it up." It smells good, everything else is wishful thinking!"

"Huh, if we can rely on negotiations, we can get back what belongs to us. Why do we go to Europe to purchase? The great powers opened the door to China with strong ships and guns. We should also rely on iron and blood to get rid of the lost goods." Take back the power, relying on spitting stars, it's useless!"

While he was talking, a young man in his late thirties suddenly interjected: "Why are you friends so angry? The great powers will never behave like this in front of the international. We still have hope!" (To be continued. .)
