Fengxian Jiangshan

The tram stopped at Huangsi Station, and a dense crowd poured down from the car. There were businessmen in suits and leather shoes, scholars in long gowns, and more workers in light attire.However, although there are many people, it is not messy, and the boarding and disembarking are very orderly.

Chen Jiageng also walked down with the flow of people, closely following his younger brother Chen Jingxian and Zhang Zichen Jimin.They were all southerners. Although they were already wrapped in thick cotton clothes and even put on leather robes, a gust of cold wind blew, and they were still chilling from the bottom of their bones.

"Father, the car exhibition market is ahead, let's hurry up."

Chen Kah Kee nodded, and the three of them walked forward quickly, bypassing a street corner, and saw a large building with several brand-new classic cars parked in the square in front, and there were many well-dressed people around. The watching crowd.

Cars are still a very distant thing for ordinary people, and most of the people who can afford them are either rich or expensive.And the optional models are far less abundant than later generations, so there is no need to arrange for flamboyant and wild girls, as long as you have something, you can take it away if you like it.

"Father, didn't you hear that the three eastern provinces can manufacture their own cars? How did I see that the cars here are all American?"

When Chen Jimin was surprised, the service staff at the side said with a smile: "There are foreign goods outside, and all domestic cars are inside. Unfortunately, some of them have been sold out, and only photos remain."

When Tan Kah Kee and the others heard it, they immediately became interested. According to common sense, if they can be put in, it proves that the product is of a higher grade. Are domestic cars better than American ones?

With doubts, they entered the hall with the flow of people.I saw that there were even more people inside, and there were three models in the middle.When people look at it, they are immediately brightened. These three cars are not the monotonous colors of Ford classic cars, and there are not many styles of changes.

The middle one is dark red, with a streamlined body, beautiful and majestic, and the body is very wide, showing a full style.Seeing this, Chen Jimin secretly applauded immediately.This appearance alone is better than American cars.

On the left is a dark blue car. Compared with the car in the middle, it is smaller and smarter, and its design reflects the characteristics of femininity.The other one was dark black.It has a moderate and low-key feeling.Obviously these models are aimed at different groups of people, among them are those wealthy businessmen.The blue ones are aimed at those rich ladies.As for the black one, it is some scholars and literati.

Tan Kah Kee and the others don't know that these colors are not static, and they can adjust them by themselves as long as they add a little more money.In this era, there is no doubt that it is a seller's market, just take the famous Ford Motor.Appropriate improvements are almost never made for the sake of the consumer.

Love to buy, buy, don't buy and get out.This is the domineering monopoly!As a latecomer, Fengtian's automobile industry wants to grab meat from the big powers.win the market.Relying on the patriotism of the common people alone will definitely not work, and there must be competitive competitiveness.

Humanization and personalization are the main brands of Fengtian Motors, with richer colors and more changeable appearance and interiors. Because of this, Fengtian cars have won wide acclaim as soon as they were launched, and have been sought after by all parties. .

Chen Kah Kee walked around the car twice, nodded slightly, he is also a knowledgeable person, domestic cars are very meticulous in workmanship, not inferior to American products, and the appearance is far ahead of Americans, so it is understandable that they sell well .

Chen Jingxian and Chen Jimin looked at the car and couldn't stop rubbing their hands. They also felt extra proud that the Chinese can produce such a good car.Moreover, the Chen family owns a large number of rubber plantations in Nanyang, and they are worried that they cannot find a market. Looking at it now, it is also a very good choice to sell them in China.

"Brother, it's a big deal that Northeast China can manufacture cars. If we can develop the domestic market, even if our rubber plantation expands several times, we won't have to worry about sales."

Chen Jiageng was not as optimistic as his younger brother. He shook his head and said, "Don't you see that Fengtian's cars are high-quality products, and the price is generally about half higher than that of American cars. You also know the domestic consumption power, which means There won't be too many cars produced, and I'm afraid the consumption of rubber will be very limited."

When Chen Jingxian and Chen Jimin heard it, they immediately felt that it was very reasonable, but they were still a little unwilling.At this moment, a person suddenly walked over quickly, and shouted from a long distance: "Uncle Clan, my nephew is late, I apologize to you!"

It was Chen Qiming who walked over. He was also from a Nanyang overseas Chinese family, and he had some kinship with Chen Jiageng. They hadn't seen each other for many years, and everyone seemed very affectionate. Chen Jiageng managed to keep Chen Qiming.

"You kid went to China, and you didn't know how to go home for many years. Don't you know that everyone misses you!"

Chen Qiming also showed guilt on his face: "I am so busy with work that I hardly have time to spare. Originally, I should have greeted you when you arrived, but it was a critical time a few days ago and I couldn't get away!"

"It's okay, we're traveling all over the world, and we don't have to worry about getting lost. It's important."

Although Chen Jiageng didn't know the specific affairs that Chen Qiming was in charge of, he probably knew that he served Fengjun.So very pleased.

"Uncle Clan, there is a lot of chaos here, let's go to the teahouse and have a good chat."

Chen Qiming led them through the dense crowd, arrived at a three-story tea house on the side, and went directly into the private room, and several people took their seats.

Chen Jimin first smiled and said, "Brother Ming, I remember that you were a student of chemistry. You have probably made a lot of achievements in Fengtian these years?"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming frowned, and a look of relief appeared on his face: "Indeed, when I first came to Fengtian, we couldn't make almost any weapons. Over the past few years, everything from bullets to rifles , all the way to airplanes and tanks. I dare not say how much credit there is, at least there is a lot of sweat in it. In life, we must do something meaningful."

"That's a good point. I've been worrying about state affairs these years, but I've been running back and forth for many years, but I still haven't achieved much. It makes people feel guilty."

"Uncle Clan, you are too polite. I heard that you have established many schools in Fujian, and even established Xiamen University with sole proprietorship. This is quite a remarkable thing."

Chen Jiageng smiled wryly and shook his head: "Everything is easier said than done, and running a university is really not easy at first sight. I came to the three eastern provinces this time to inspect the market, and secondly, to ask for experience in running a school."

"Fengjun schools have always focused on practicality, especially science and engineering. In addition, law, medicine, business, and foreign languages ​​are also relatively popular. As for literature and history, the number of students is relatively small, and the quality of students is also uneven. Because of this , is also widely criticized.”

"My view is different." Chen Jiageng said loudly: "The original intention of my school is to change the face of the country. Simply put, it is to develop industry. Only when industry develops can the country have hope, and to develop industry, education is needed. First, in other words, training talents should focus on practicality, and I think it is very correct for Feng Jun to do so."

Chen Qiming also smiled slightly: "Since the uncle thinks so, I will take you to visit Fengtian University another day. Maybe there will be a lot of gains. The uncle just said that he still needs to inspect the market. I don't know what kind of business you want to do." ?”

"Of course it is rubber. We have tens of thousands of acres of rubber plantations in Nanyang. Since the World War II, the demand for rubber has decreased. Not long ago, I heard that China can produce its own cars. If it can produce cars, it must be inseparable from rubber. Therefore We just wanted to come and see."

Chen Qiming burst out laughing when he heard this: "Uncle Clan came just in time. Fengtian is short of rubber now, but [-] acres is still too little. If there are [-] acres, it will be about the same!"

Chen Jimin was a little surprised at once, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Ming, I don't think Fengtian's car production is much, how can it consume so much rubber?"

"You are wrong this time. The most rubber consumed by Fengtian is not automobiles, but agricultural vehicles. The commander-in-chief has given instructions on the automobile industry. Chinese automobile consumers are different from those in the United States. Americans are mass consumers, and ordinary citizens Those who can afford it, and those who can afford cars in China are all rich or expensive people. These people don’t care about money, so they simply make their cars more refined. As for small agricultural tractors, Fengtian’s main production is the annual output It has exceeded [-] units, and it is still increasing, and the demand for military jeeps has also risen sharply, so you can imagine how much rubber is needed!"

When Chen Jiageng heard it, he was also very emotional: "Sure enough, the development of the Northeast is beyond imagination, and it is no wonder that it can defeat such a powerful country as Russia and Japan. We overseas Chinese have been bullied, and we look forward to having a strong motherland as our support. Originally, I pinned my hopes on Sun Wen and others, but I never thought that the Northeast is where the real hope lies."

"Uncle Clan, overseas Chinese, if you want to change your situation, you can't just pin your hopes on others, but also work hard on your own?"

"How hard can you do it? Could it be that a group of unarmed people are allowed to fight against the military and police thugs?" Chen Jingxian sighed and said, "In the past few years, there have been riots in Java and other places. It's also full of blood and tears."

Chen Qiming said with a smile: "Bare hands definitely won't work, but don't forget, Fengjun can produce anything now."

Chen Jiageng's mind was spinning quickly. Hearing this, he immediately asked: "You mean that the Fengjun is willing to arm the overseas Chinese and provide us with weapons?"

Chen Qiming nodded and said with a smile: "The commander-in-chief has already told me that he is willing to vigorously arm the overseas Chinese in Nanyang. Their status and dignity are based on blood and iron. If the overseas Chinese are willing to endure hardships, they can go to the three eastern provinces and accept it." The most rigorous military training, and then return to Nanyang to fight for ourselves!" (To be continued...)
