Zhao Shouhong said: "I am Zhao Shouhong, the envoy of Zhongchuan. I feel that you are a talent and you just want to make friends, so you don't have to doubt it. If you don't believe me, you can go to the governor's mansion if you look for me in the future. Even if I'm not there, There will be someone to receive you." Knowing that the other party couldn't believe it for a while, Zhao Shouhong had no choice but to send him a name sticker to let him go. As for the relationship, let's talk about it later.

The two women ran back after watching for a while, just in time to see Lu Zuofu leaving.Shen Ruoxue asked: "What? Did you meet someone you know? Who was that boy just now?"

"You don't believe me if I tell you." Zhao Shouhong smiled mysteriously, "I actually met Lu Zuofu on the street. It seems that my luck is really good. I am full of domineering aura, haha."

"Hmph, I think you're a bastard." Shen Ruoxue sarcastically ridiculed Zhao Shouhong once in a while.

"What are you all talking about? Who is Lu Zuofu?" Sun Yuting didn't have the historical knowledge of later generations, so she was naturally baffled.

"It's nothing, just an acquaintance from the past." Zhao Shouhong didn't explain much, but just prevaricated.

Not long after Zhao Shouhong and Shen Ruoxue chatted this time, Shen Ruoxue set off to return to the White Eagle Country. She was going to carry out the next car acquisition and help Zhao Shouhong establish his own car industry in advance.

After returning to the White Eagle Country, the Hollywood Trust started up again, and because of their abundant funds, it can be said to be rampant in the stock market.Several auto companies that suffered serious losses due to the last financial crisis were originally lingering, but now that large funds are involved, they have no power to resist and have been acquired one after another.Among them are the famous Leo, Maxwell, Cadillac and Oldsmobile. Soon Shen Ruoxue controlled eleven automobile companies and more than ten parts suppliers, and quickly established a huge automobile consortium.

The Morgan consortium has little interest in the acquisition plan of the Hollywood Trust Company. In this era, cars have low horsepower, loud noise and bad smell. Disdain to invest in it.

Soon Shen Ruoxue found that she had a rival. William Durant, who also had a lot of money, seemed to have sensed the Hollywood Trust's intentions, and even started the acquisition case.It's just that because of Zhao Shouhong's reminder, Shen Ruoxue started early and had already integrated most of the car companies. As a result, Durant almost returned empty-handed, and only acquired Northway Motor Company, and it was through stock exchange. here.

Durant had the idea of ​​a giant in the auto industry, but the Hollywood Trust before him was a little too big.Although the sales of Buick cars are good, and Durant himself is quite wealthy, how can he compare with the Hollywood Trust Company, which is backed by Citibank and is like a fish in water in the financial market, he is at a disadvantage in terms of financial resources.

Durant was not one to admit defeat easily. He quickly turned his attention to Ford, the largest car company in the White Eagle Country at that time.Ford Motor Company was founded by Henry Ford in 1903. In the same year, the first Ford brand car was produced. After several years of development, the sales volume of Ford Motor has been rising steadily, and the future of development is bright.

Although Henry Ford was a talented designer, he was not a qualified operator.Due to his poor financial management and excessive investment in new cars, the company's finances began to be in crisis, and the liquidity became less and less.

Under such circumstances, Ford began to think about selling his own car company, but his requirements were also very strict. Financing exchange was never allowed. The buyer had to give him 800 million eagle dollars in cash and pay in cash.In the United States at that time, the monthly salary of a senior engineer was only about fifty eagle dollars. It was difficult for Durant to come up with such a huge sum of money.

Chapter 193 The Hollywood Consortium

Shen Ruoxue is well aware of Durant's thoughts and Ford's position in the future world auto industry.It was difficult for Durant to come up with such a huge sum of money, but it was not difficult for Shen Ruoxue.Three days after the talks between Durant and Ford collapsed, the Hollywood Trust announced that it had acquired Ford Motor Company for 800 million eagles, and at the same time hired Henry Ford to continue to serve as the company's chief engineer.

Such a huge acquisition, and it was paid in cash in one lump sum, still had a sensational effect in the White Eagle Country at that time.Many companies have begun to inquire about who is this Hollywood Trust Company, but when everyone has investigated and found out the strength of its various companies, the major media are all in an uproar. They never knew that this little-known little company The company has such a huge industry.

Taking advantage of this good opportunity to improve her reputation, Shen Ruoxue decided to establish a Hollywood consortium.This consortium will be formed by Maxson, with the Hollywood Trust Company as the group's head office, including the Bethlehem Iron and Steel United Company, which ranks second in the White Eagle Country, the New York Shipbuilding Consortium affiliated to the steel company, the International Citibank, and the newly assembled The Detroit Automobile Consolidated Company formed by a large number of automobile companies.

After the establishment of the Hollywood consortium, the Morgan consortium soon announced that it had formed a strategic partnership with it, which caused an uproar for everyone, which means that the Democratic Party will gain another big boost from then on.Shen Ruoxue's footsteps still did not stop, and soon she established a Hollywood film company in a small place called Hollywood in the northwest suburb of Los Angeles, California.

The sound film patent registered in the name of Stella soon came in handy, and Hollywood film companies began to recruit film actors and related practitioners intensively, and began to shoot their first sound film "Water Lotus".Of course, before the filming of his own film, two Sichuan Opera films and three Peking Opera films had already been screened in movie theaters built in major cities across the country.

The novel singing, the gorgeous costumes, and the exquisite scenery fascinated all the audience of the White Eagle Kingdom.The combination of opera and the charm of sound films created a whirlwind in the whole country.The movie theaters were full, and it was hard to get a ticket for each movie. The Baiying people who lacked entertainment items had such an outlet, and it soon became a trend that spread across the country.

In order to conform to the sentiments of the people, major newspapers across the country began to introduce Hualan's customs, the development and spread of various opera factions, and even domestic political forms.For the first time, the people of White Eagle turned their eyes to the east and began to understand this mysterious country.

With the success of the movie, the Hollywood consortium became more and more famous, and Shen Ruoxue also took the opportunity to start integrating its subsidiaries, the most important of which was the Detroit Automobile United Company.Knowing the future development trend, Shen Ruoxue has a comprehensive plan. After acquiring so many car companies, she values ​​designers and workers the most.For the automobile industry that has not yet developed, the brand has not really been established, and it doesn't matter if you cut a few.

As for the positioning of its brands, Shen Ruoxue decided that Cadillac would specialize in luxury high-end cars, Maxwell would specialize in sports cars, Leo would be used in the development of heavy-duty vehicles, and Oakland and Ford, which had changed their names to Pontiac, would specialize in research and development. Civilian car.In this way, General Motors can be regarded as including all aspects of vehicle development, and its future is limitless.

After Shen Ruoxue left, Sun Yuting also lost interest in shopping. Just in time, the laboratory sent her a letter, saying that there was the latest progress in the experiment of synthesizing methylheptenone from coal tar extract.This kind of product that can be widely used in spices and medicine is very important, and it has always been a project that Sun Yuting focuses on, so she hurriedly urged Zhao Shouhong to go back.Zhao Shouhong already had a feeling of fear for shopping, and Sun Yuting was in his arms in a hurry to go back, so he naturally returned to Yazhou mansion obediently.

As soon as he returned to Yazhou Prefecture, Zhao Shouhong received a message. A few days ago, Zhao Erfeng, the new minister stationed in Xinjiang, reported to the imperial court, claiming that the Western Xinjiang Commercial Charter has lost sovereignty. It is recommended that the minister stay in Xinjiang.Zhao Erfeng's thoughts are very clear. Xijiang is a hot potato. Instead of holding it in his hands, he might as well go back and be his Minister of Foreign Affairs and Border Affairs. With the cooperation of Zhao Erxun and Xiliang, his work will be much easier.

Zhao Erfeng's memorial reminded Zhao Shouhong that the Zhaini riots are gradually subsiding, but the Sar people's peeps at Western Xinjiang and Maine are always the same.For Xijiang, which has always been free from the central government, there is an urgent need for its security form.

Zhao Shouhong has his own advantages in Xijiang. With the allegiance of the great lord of Shenfeng, coupled with the prosperity of caravan trade, the connection between western Sichuan and western Xinjiang is getting closer.Zhao Erfeng's memorial was very timely, so that the imperial court could send people to hold back the Sar people's footsteps, so he asked the great lord of Shenfeng to cooperate fully and contact court officials to discuss with the Sar people about revising the contract.

Political diplomacy and economic penetration are only one aspect, and military guarantees are also necessary.It just so happened that Suolang Wangdui and Duoji Cidan graduated from the crash course for officers, and Zhao Shouhong immediately summoned them.

The officer's crash course was specially set up by Zhao Shouhong in order to improve the ability of his subordinates, facing his various troops. The training courses and management models in it were all learned from the Teutonic Kingdom, and every detail was very strict.According to regulations, Suolang Wangdui and Duoji Cidan temporarily canceled their military status after entering the military academy. After graduation, they belonged to reserve officers waiting to be reassigned.

Of course, the allocation will fully consider personal wishes, as long as the application is submitted, the superior will consider it as appropriate.Just when the two were discussing whether to apply for the factory protection team or join the patrol battalion, Zhao Shouhong sent them an order to go.

Seeing the two entering the office, Zhao Shouhong warmly greeted them to sit down.Now the economy in the eastern part of Xijiang is prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. They are very supportive of Zhao Shouhong.The two Tibetan men were not as hostile as they were when they first met Zhao Shouhong. On the contrary, they were completely loyal to him now.

When the two sat on the chairs, Suo Lang Wangdui spoke first: "What mission did the chairman come to us this time? We promise to complete it satisfactorily." It turned out that the two of them had already joined the Hualan Pioneer Party during the crash course for officers.

"Yes, Chairman, you must think about us if you have any tasks." Duoji Cidan also said.

Zhao Shouhong nodded: "Of course I'm thinking of you, am I just going to give you a new task?"

Chapter 194 Rubber Stocks Soar

"What mission?" The two asked in unison, their eyes brightened.

"Now the situation in Zhaini is gradually becoming clear. Once the Saars are free, they will inevitably invade the western border again." Zhao Shouhong stood up and walked to the national map on the wall and said: "Not even an inch of our land can be let out. If we want to prevent the infiltration of the Saar people, we must have enough armed forces. The two of you graduated from the crash course for officers and have enough military literacy, so I decided to let you form an army to be stationed in Western Xinjiang."

"Lord Kamikaze has promised me to help. The troops you formed are called the Lord's Guards to the outside world, and the Western Army Division to the inside. All the officers and soldiers of the Fan tribe under me can be transferred to you, and there are about 1000 people. These people They are your basic troops, and the rest are recruited in the western borders by yourself. I allow you to adopt the three-regiment system to build troops according to the current patrol battalion system, and openly supply weapons."

Zhao Shouhong's words made the two very excited. They never thought that they would have such an opportunity just after leaving school.Suolang Wangdui asked: "Chairman, after we form the army, what is the task?"

"Strictly train, resolutely resist any aggression to the western border area, and protect the safety of the local people and the great lord of Shenfeng." Zhao Shouhong's voice gradually lowered: "In addition, land reforms will be carried out in the western border, and the local lords will be suppressed as much as possible. If someone Conspiracy like Ankangdao, killing without mercy, I will send officials to cooperate with you."

"Chairman, don't worry, we will definitely build a strong army so that the Saar people will not dare to spy on the frontiers." Suolang Wangdui expressed his determination.With these two capable subordinates in Xijiang, Zhao Shouhong can finally feel at ease. Now that there is the Sixth Route Patrol Battalion, and he has completely controlled the New Army of Seventeen Towns and the Established Division of Xijiang, he has gradually taken control of Huaxia. The armed forces in western Lanxi have sufficient weight in their hands.

At the same time, the financial market in Gwanghae was quietly changing. As early as 80, Makbian, a Saarman, opened a Langezhi Development Company in Gwanghae, mainly engaged in the operation of rubber plantations.By 20, there were more than [-] companies developing rubber in Southeast Asia, of which more than [-] were headquartered in Gwanghae, and there was a trend of rapid growth.Some foreign firms put up a sign saying "Buy and sell various rubber shares on behalf of customers" at the entrance, attracting people from all walks of life to speculate.

These companies are a mixed bag. Some have already purchased rubber plantations locally and just need to wait for the rubber to come out or have even started to produce rubber; some have just bought land and the saplings have not been planted yet; After naming a few names, he dared to raise shares in Gwanghae.

They generally first obtain the support of foreign banks stationed in Guanghai, and then advertise in newspapers, vigorously publicizing the company's bright prospects, and claiming that its shares can be pledged in cash at face value in foreign banks, so as to not only win glory The trust of Haihua merchants.Even foreigners and foreign firms in Gwanghae were involved in a large number of them.

Foreigners kept spreading the market conditions in London to Gwanghae: a company issued 100 Sarr shares, which were sold out in half an hour; A stock with a face value of 180 yuan rose to [-] yuan at the highest.This type of market has greatly stimulated the confidence of Guanghai investors, thus promoting the skyrocketing of Guanghai Rubber stock.

Shen Ruoxue has observed this trend keenly. In fact, she has read the history books, and she has been waiting for this opportunity since the financial crisis of the White Eagle Kingdom made a fortune.In the first few years, rubber stocks were just a small business, and most of her funds were in the White Eagle market, so she didn't pay attention.

After the Spring Festival in [-], rubber stocks began to flourish on the Saar Empire London Stock Exchange and Gwanghae Stock Exchange. Gwanghae merchants who noticed the soaring stock prices also invested money and bought various rubber stocks. .

Naturally, Shen Ruoxue would not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune. She began to covertly inject funds from the Hollywood consortium into London, the capital of the Saar Empire, on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, and slowly increased the stock price there. At the same time, she used the funds left in the country Keep raising Gwanghae's stock market and gradually grasp the initiative in the entire financial market.A larger-scale crisis is quietly lurking, and Shen Ruoxue's goal is to be the final big winner.

Unlike Shen Ruoxue who spends all day fighting in the financial market, Zhao Shouhong in Yazhou is working wholeheartedly. While training workers in the electrical appliance factory, teaching them to develop new products and make telephones and walkie-talkies, he is thinking about his future. plan.It has been several months since Helen Keller returned to the White Eagle Country. This incident has already caused a sensation in the White Eagle Country. It is believed that the news has already spread across the ocean to the Western Continent.

These famous doctors under Zhao Shouhong are famous all over the world, and with the preparation of public opinion, the next plan can be implemented.So after asking Feng Ru for verification of the test flight of the aircraft and getting an affirmative answer, he wrote a memorial to the court.

In the memorandum, Zhao Shouhong sincerely hoped that the imperial court would approve the country's aircraft and automobiles to participate in the auto show and air show held in Paris.He deliberately mentioned in the memorial table that this is an opportunity to promote the prestige of our country and establish a reputation for the Later Jin court in the world, and it should be vigorously promoted.

After these two years of observation, the empress dowager and the diehards are very relieved of Zhao Shouhong, who does not care about the military and concentrates on building factories.Therefore, the queen mother readily agreed to let Zhao Shouhong serve as the imperial envoy, and lead Feng Ru and others to France to participate in the air show. At the same time, she also expressed the importance and novelty of the aircraft, and said that when the time is right, the aircraft will be sent to the Forbidden City. to put on a show.

Maybe the empress dowager wanted to give Zhao Shouhong a reassurance, or maybe the Zhao family used their connections inside and outside the court. Anyway, the empress dowager agreed to stay in Zhao Shouhong's post for the first time in her will, and she would return to her original post when he came back.

This decree sounds trivial, but everyone in the officialdom knows that officials who go abroad are called ghost messengers in the officialdom.It means not serving the imperial court at home, but going abroad to serve foreign devils, so officials who have gone abroad for business for many years will be discriminated against by traditional forces.Even decades ago, officials who went abroad would be erased from the family list, and the coffin was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave after death, which shows the stubbornness and ridiculousness of feudal thinking.

With more and more people studying abroad, the country has gradually opened up, and the people of the country are no longer making a fuss about going abroad, but the court has always maintained a tradition.Most of the ministers who go abroad on business will appoint temporary imperial ministers. After returning home, they will be idled and called alternate officials. As for when there will be real vacancies, it is not certain.

Chapter 195 Entering the Mediterranean Sea

Because of this, serving as a foreign minister and other diplomatic work will make the traditional ministers shy away, and Zhao Shouhong can actually be restored to his post after returning like this, which is the first time in the history of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Naturally, Zhao Shouhong would not put all his treasures on the empress dowager's kindness. Before leaving, he paid a lot of money and bought several official positions from Prince Qing.Among them, Zhang Liewu served as an Ankang Taoist, Xie Mingjue was a Jianchang Taoist, and Deng Zhicheng was directly promoted to the Zhongchuan Nursing Envoy.

With a hint of excitement, Zhao Shouhong and Sun Yuting set foot on the ship to the Western Continent together.To be on the safe side, they specially rented a [-]-ton ship belonging to the Hollywood consortium and brought dozens of guards with them.Along with Feng Ru, Louis Chevrolet and many other mechanics, as well as three planes and five newly produced Chevrolet Model [-] cars.
