Chapter 1277 The current situation of the Zuo family (1)

Buzz~

Feeling the vibration of his cell phone in the space, Zuo Zhong, who was admiring the scenery, paused in his heart, and then continued to chat in a low voice with his mother Mei Huizhen, preparing to check again when no one was around.

After a while, the convoy arrived at a small village. The village had both Maori houses with wooden triangular roof structures and Victorian-style villas. It looked quite large, probably with a population of several thousand.

"Shen Zhi, we are here. This is the town of Lyfort." Zuo Shanwen, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, pointed to the village and said: "A few years ago, when we first came here, this place was still an empty land. It took us five or six years to It took a lot of effort to build it into what it is today.”

"Yes, the tenants who came to New Zealand with Zuo's family carried them by hand and shoulder, and went into the mountains to cut trees. Finally, they built a temporary camp before winter came." Mei Huizhen next to her looked back with memories.

Zuo Zhong marveled that the people of the Republic of China were indeed the most hard-working people in the world. It took them five or six years to develop the village like this. In the eyes of white people, it was probably a miracle.

While talking, the car turned left and right on the village road, and finally came to a group of buildings. Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Zuo Zhong was stunned. Isn't this the Zuo family's old house?

In his memory, "Zuo Zhong" was born and grew up in this building. He is extremely familiar with every brick, tile, plant and tree inside.

When Zuo Shanwen saw this, his tone was very emotional: "This was your grandfather's idea. It's hard to leave your hometown. I spent a lot of effort to move my old house in Ningbo to New Zealand intact.

After the Beilun Port Incident, the old house was occupied by the Japanese. I bought the house back at a low price through an agent and transported all the materials, flowers and plants here by ship.

The craftsmen who have repaired our house for generations also came to New Zealand. They restored the house to its original state based on memory. When it was completed, the old man sat alone in the yard all night. "

The Zuo family's old house, which has been passed down for hundreds of years, appeared thousands of miles away in Oceania. Not only Zuo Zhong was shocked, but even Gu Qi and others who had been to the Zuo family's old house were stunned.

What is a big family? This is a big family.

The motorcade stopped at the gate of the house, and everyone in the army got off the car and stood in the open space in front of the gate without saying anything for a long time. They knew that the Zuo family was rich, but they didn't know that they were so rich.

"Starting from the dock, including the roads, land, mountains and forests along the way, and the entire town of Lyford are the family's property." Zuo Shanwen added.

Zuo Zhong took a deep breath, turned around and asked, "Father, do the local white people have no objection to the gathering of so many Chinese?"

He is usually busy with official duties, so he really doesn’t know the situation of the Zuo family in New Zealand. Is it a bit too eye-catching for the Zuo family to move their old house here? This kind of Chinese-style building is completely different from the local architecture and can easily attract the attention of white people.

"Don't worry, the house is in the middle of the town. It's surrounded by houses, so outsiders won't see it. Besides, the family also has a Western-style villa in a nearby city just for entertaining."

Zuo Shanwen smiled and shook his head, turned around and looked around: "As for the local white people and the New Zealand authorities, let's go in and talk. I have already asked the servants to prepare the banquet."

Zuo Zhong knew that this was not the place to talk, so he followed his grandfather and maternal grandfather into the old house through the main entrance. The old tree in the courtyard was as lush as it was in Ningbo, making a rustling sound in the breeze.

After some admiration and repair, the women went to the side room to chat, and the agents went to their respective guest rooms. Zuo Zhong, his grandfather, maternal grandfather, father, and brother sat down in the main room and talked about business.

"Grandpa, how is the situation at home?" Zuo Zhong added some hot water to the three elders' teacups, sat down and asked curiously.

The old man picked up the tea cup without drinking, and glanced at Zuo Shanwen: "Shanwen, please tell me, be more careful, it's rare for Shen Zhong to go home."

"Okay, father." Zuo Shanwen nodded and immediately began to introduce.

When the Zuo family first came to New Zealand, they were indeed coveted by some people, and they had to hand over a lot of security money to successfully establish themselves. However, when the wounded intelligence officers sent by Zuo Zhong arrived (section 516), the situation was as follows A change.

In just three months, four New Zealand congressmen died in accidents, two police chiefs disappeared, and the local white gang also lost its entire backbone.

A group of strictly trained professional agents, even if they are seriously injured or physically disabled, can easily deal with a group of civilians and gangsters.

As a result, the Zuo family gained a relatively safe external development environment and began to penetrate various industries in New Zealand and Australia, acquiring factories, fields, commercial institutions, and newspapers, and supporting local agents.

According to Zuo Zhong's plan, the Zuo family also vigorously attracted local poor whites and indigenous people, hired them as factory workers and farm employees, and tied them together with benefits.

When Penicillin was born, with the help of huge amounts of money, the development of the Zuo family accelerated again, and it also purchased many industries in America and Europe, involving finance, mining, agriculture and animal husbandry, arms, industry, electronic manufacturing and many other industries, such as Left Bank .

Today, the Zuo family has controlled more than a hundred large commercial institutions and 15 news media in New Zealand and Australia, and more than 50,000 people rely on the Zuo family's industrial chain to make a living.

In addition, a large number of New Zealand and Australian parliamentarians and local officials accepted the Zuo family's "goodwill" and they will ensure that the Zuo family's legitimate interests are not damaged.

Through Zuo Shanwen's description, Zuo Zhong roughly understood the situation of his family's industry. There was a lot of good news, but there were also hidden dangers.

The Zuo family has grown to its current scale and has basically reached the upper limit of a Chinese family. If it goes up further, it will definitely be suppressed by the white authorities. No matter how much money you give, it will be useless.

Zuo Xuechen naturally knew this. The old man who had experienced the previous dynasties, warlord wars, and the Republic of China knew very well that no matter how they integrated into white society, they were still outsiders. After thinking for a while, Zuo Zhong looked at his younger brother Zuo Jun and told Zuo Xuechen his plan. He had already thought of this plan before the Zuo family moved.

"Grandpa, my grandson thinks that we have to walk on two legs next, one is Nanyang, and the other is Australia, New Zealand and other countries.

The latter will be discussed later. The former needs the help of my future sister-in-law. The Cheng family has quite a lot of connections and strength in Nanyang. It would be a pity not to take advantage of it. "

Zuo Jun didn't expect to have his own affairs, so he immediately raised his head with a confused expression. The Cheng family was indeed a big family in Nanyang, but the other party had a direct male heir. What could his son-in-law do? He couldn't kill people to seize power.

Zuo Zhong did not give his younger brother too much time to think. He took out a document from his briefcase and handed it to Zuo Xuechen: "Grandpa, grandpa, father, please take a look first. This is the report of the Malaya Station of the Military Command."

Zuo Xuechen put on his reading glasses and squinted his eyes to read the document. There was no other content in the document, except for the mention of a Chinese young man from Temasek (Singapore).

This man is an overseas Chinese who received British education since childhood. His family has good relations with the colonial government and owns many industries in Malaya and Temasek.

After reading the report, Zuo Xuechen handed it to Zuo Zhong's maternal grandfather, Mei Tianliang, and asked with some uncertainty: "Shen Zhong, there seems to be some British influence behind this person's family?"

"Yes, according to the military survey, the British paid attention to many Chinese and mixed-race young people in Temasek." Zuo Zhong answered truthfully.

Mei Tianliang interjected: "What is the purpose of the British?"

He had just read the report, and he really couldn't figure out the British's intention for doing this. They were just a group of wealthy children. Even if they were used as dogs for the British, how much effect could they play.

Zuo Shanwen and Zuo Jun also circulated the documents one after another. The father and son did not speak and tacitly focused their attention on Zuo Zhong.

Under the gaze of the four people, Zuo Zhong took back the report, lit the document with a lighter, and then gave his analysis of the matter.

Since the end of the 19th century, the national independence movement has gradually emerged. Many colonies have sought independence, and the British colonies in Asia are no exception.

Moreover, with the end of the last war, Britain's strength has seriously declined. On the other hand, the Americans have made a fortune from the war, and the competition between the two sides is fierce.

The British government has to consider a question: if it loses its status as a world hegemon, how can it maintain the dominance of the British Empire, specifically its control of the seas.

In fact, the method is very simple, that is, control the throat waterways, support a group of local people, and use them to indirectly control places such as Temasek and Suez.

At this point, Zuo Xuechen and the others suddenly realized that the British were looking for puppets, but what did this have to do with walking on two legs?

After Zuo Zhong finished speaking, he smiled at his younger brother and said shockingly: "Zuo Jun, you and Miss Cheng will leave for London next month. Through my connections, I have secured two places for you at King's College, Cambridge University."

Speaking of which, I would like to thank an old friend of the people of the Republic of China for this matter, the British Ambassador to the Republic of China, Mr. Bailondu. As long as there is money, he will really do things.

A flash of light flashed in Zuo Xuechen's turbid eyes, and he had already guessed Zuo Zhong's intention. Zuo Jun could do what the Chinese young man could do, and maybe he could do it better.

Imagine that if Zuo Jun successfully graduates from King's College, he will definitely be able to meet many British nobles and young politicians. This is a network of connections.

On the other hand, the Cheng family is a wealthy family in Nanyang, the Zuo family has good relations with high-level officials in Europe and the United States, and the Mei family was a big comprador back then.

Combining various factors, Zuo Jun has every chance to replace the Chinese youth and become the "puppet" of the British to control Temasek. When the time comes, the name of Temasek will not be decided by the British.

"good!"

Mei Tianliang patted the table next to him with an extremely excited expression. As the saying goes, scattered robbers rob graves, small robbers steal wealth, medium robbers steal reputation, and big robbers steal the country.

No business can compare to rare goods. Once successful, one will be extremely wealthy. With control of Temasek, the Zuo family and the Mui family will be able to sit back and relax for a hundred years.

Zuo Shanwen and Zuo Jun were in confusion. Zuo Chong's ambition was so great that they were a little frightened. They wanted to take Temasek away from the British, which was tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger.

In fact, Zuo Zhong's ambitions don't stop there. What are the throats and the British Empire? The most powerful weapon in the world is money.

There is a proverb in the West that when money stands up and speaks, all truth will remain silent. Once money makes a sound, any bad words will stop abruptly.

If one day, Temasek, the world's "hot money" circulation center, becomes the Zuo family, plus the Foreign Intelligence Service under preparation and...

Zuo Zhong raised a smile at the corner of his mouth. With a country and a huge amount of money as his backing, he would be truly invincible. At that time, would it be better to build a Hydra or an umbrella company~
