Jagged Warlord

Although the other guests at the banquet could not speak English, they could drink better than each other. They insisted on using liquor to drink down a few Yankees except Phillips Hill.The reason why Phillips Hill hasn't got down yet, according to him, is because he is a descendant of Russian immigrants.
Phillips Hill patted his chest and said that he was very familiar with the person in charge of the Rockefeller Foundation, and he helped lobby the Rockefeller Foundation and American churches to donate to build a modern medical school and a modern hospital in Shangqiu or Henan. medical university.
Of course, Phillips Hill also asked Li Mohan to protect the missionary rights of the American church in Henan and the personal safety of the missionaries, and Li Mohan agreed without hesitation.The reason why Phillips Hill made such a request is because he himself is a devout Protestant Baptist.He valued the promises he made and hoped that the other party would keep them.
In addition to a hospital and a medical school, Li Mohan also proposed several projects for the economic development zone with them:
Huashang Coal and Electricity Co., Ltd.: a joint venture between Huashang Bank and General Electric Company of the United States, mainly engaged in coal mining, coal washing, power generation, power transmission, and high-power transformation equipment manufacturing
Huashang Vehicle Manufacturing Company: a joint venture between Huashang Bank and the Ford Motor Company of the United States, which is mainly engaged in the production and sales of small cars.
Huashang Electric Company: a joint venture between Huashang Bank and Emerson Electric of the United States, mainly responsible for the production and sales of civil communication equipment, radio stations, telephones, lighting equipment, and electrical equipment
Huashang Iron and Steel Works: a joint venture between Huashang Bank and U.S. Steel Corporation. Main business: steelmaking, steel rolling, military armor steel, and thin steel plates for vehicles
Huashang Pharmaceutical Company: a joint venture between Chinese Mercantile Bank and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, mainly engaged in the production of sulfonamides and derivatives, other antibiotics, and various medical devices
Huashang Agricultural Machinery Co., Ltd.: a joint venture between Huashang Bank and John Deere Company of the United States, mainly produces various agricultural machinery, trucks, and a large number of auxiliary parts.
Huashang Chemical Co., Ltd. is a joint venture established by Huashang Bank and DuPont Company of the United States.The business scope mainly covers chemical raw materials (sulfuric acid, nitric acid, dyes, etc.), rubber products, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, explosives, and chlorine gas, and is a dual-use enterprise for both military and civilian use.
Huashang Optical Instrument Co., Ltd.: a joint venture funded by Huashang Bank and the American AO Optical Company. Its business scope mainly includes various types of telescopes, scopes, various instruments, cameras, video equipment, etc. It is a military and civilian dual-use enterprise, but some products such as telescopes , sights and some instruments are for military use.
In addition to the above-mentioned joint ventures, Li Mohan asked Phillips Hill to go back and talk. Shangqiu Economic Development Zone also welcomes American companies to invest in the establishment of wholly-owned companies. All companies investing in the development zone can enjoy certain tax incentives.
Wang Shihua, a group of wine companions, reminded Li Mohan in a low voice, and said, "My lord, I think these boys are very young, so don't just lie and talk big."
Li Mohan smiled and said: "I am naturally on guard against this. Strong doesn't seem like someone who can't live with his huge commission. Besides, I have already sent people to the United States. You don't really think that I have to rely on these few days. Personally?"
Wang Shihua smiled and said, "My lord is really thoughtful."
The next day, Li Mohan took these young foreign devils around Shangqiu with great fanfare, making everyone in the county know that foreigners were coming to Shangqiu to invest and set up factories.
Then, Li Mohan announced that Strong's military uniform order was successfully completed, and the shares in the industrial park will be distributed for the first time.
Originally, after the land was exchanged for stocks, those officials and landlords were like mourning, and they cursed all eight generations of Li Mohan's ancestors behind their backs.What I didn't expect now is that the stocks that I thought were too hard to wipe my ass were actually exchanged for real money. The dividends in the first quarter alone exceeded the rent of the land for a year.
On the day of dividend distribution, the stock with a face value of 100 yuan instantly appreciated by 150%, but no one was willing to sell it. Three days later, it even rose to [-] yuan.Officials and landlords are much more informed than ordinary people. The Shangqiu Industrial Park is making a lot of money every day, and the Americans are going to join in. I don’t know how many times this kind of stock will turn over in the future.
Those landlords who tried their best to exchange as little land as possible for stocks were dumbfounded. Everyone was crying, especially the big landlords with thousands of acres of fertile land were beating their chests and feet.The progressive land tax was levied, and the big landlords found out that the land rent income was not enough to pay the tax. Then I heard that those officials who were forced to exchange their land for stocks all made more or less fortunes, and their intestines were green with regret.
Landlords have asked whether they can be exempted from paying progressive tax if they exchange their land for stocks now.The officials in charge of land reform told him with certainty, wait until next year, the money will definitely not escape this year.
Many landlords are talking to themselves, damn it, after all, they are the first to act first, and they can't even get hot dog shit if they are slow.

Beijing has entered winter at this time. For the people in Beijing, it means that the best season of the year has passed. The following are things stored for winter, such as Chinese cabbage. The men in Beijing are also planning to reduce their activities. It's winter at home.
For Yuan Shikai's central government in Beijing, they have not realized that the best golden years of their political career have passed away early, and what they will face next will be swords and swords and endless wars.
Not long ago, Yuan Shikai went to the Temple of Heaven and imitated the feudal emperors to ascend the altar to worship heaven.He held a grand sacrifice ceremony here, hoping to arouse the support of the people of the country through the sacrifice ceremony of the Temple of Heaven.At that time, many foreign journalists filmed and reported on this sacrificial ceremony, and also recorded the last ceremony for the later World Heritage Site, the Temple of Heaven.
The sacrifice to heaven began before dawn, and the Circular Mound Altar was newly renovated. Soldiers in uniform, with feathers on their heads, and holding spears stood beside each railing; more than 200 musicians on both sides of the road wore star-embellished robes and held Pre-Qin musical instruments; in addition, there is a large black mass of civil and military officials, all wearing sacrificial robes.
At dawn, Yuan Shikai in uniform took the presidential car and was escorted by the cavalry to the gate of the wall of the Circular Mound, and then was carried by eight sedan chairs to a temporary tent inside the wall instead of the emperor's dressing hall, where he changed into a robe.The ceremony lasted an hour.Yuan Shikai climbed up to the second floor of the Circular Mound from the south and stood facing north. When the bonfire was lit, he bowed deeply four times according to the command of the sacrificial officer, and all civil and military officials also bowed together. The plate was served on the altar.
After offering the silk, Yuan Shikai knelt down to the first floor of the Circular Mound.The music of sacrificing meat was played, and the animal blood and fur were immediately removed, and a cup of hot soup was delivered to the President.Yuan Shikai held this cup of heavenly soup over his head first, and then sprinkled it on the meat on the plate three times.Then the sacrificial officer recited the prayer, some people danced to the music, and Yuan Shikai raised wine to respect the sky.
After reading each prayer, Yuan Shikai kowtowed four times to the altar, and all civil and military officials also kowtowed together.The procedures for chanting several prayers are similar, but the accompanying music is different.After praying, the food was left behind, and green jade (jade seal) was placed in the center of the altar.Finally, accompanied by solemn music, offerings such as prayer tablets, silk, wine and grains were put on the pyre and burned together, and the ceremony of worshiping heaven ended.After Yuan Shikai returned to his tent to change his clothes, he took the presidential car back to his residence in Zhongnanhai.
After returning to the Nuan Pavilion, Yang Du was already waiting there.
"Thought a hundred thousand soldiers, drove to the northwest, drank the horses in the Wulianghai, rode the horses in the Wula Mountains, and vowed not to return if they did not win. Awesome!" Seeing Yang Du, Yuan Shikai asked with a smile: "What is Xizi looking for me for?" ? Is there any magnificent masterpiece?"
Knowing that Yuan Shikai was joking with him, Yang Du replied with a smile: "Now I'm Jiang Lang, so it's hard for me to make a big deal, but that Li Mohan has been very restless recently."
Yuan Shikai sat down on the soft chair, and the servant immediately brought tea, "This kid is making a lot of noise. Many officials whose family members are in Shangqiu have come to sue him."
Yang Du said: "President, you only know one thing but not the other. These days, the direction of the wind has changed again."
Phillips Hill patted his chest and said that he was very familiar with the person in charge of the Rockefeller Foundation, and he helped lobby the Rockefeller Foundation and American churches to donate to build a modern medical school and a modern hospital in Shangqiu or Henan. medical university.
