Fengxian Jiangshan

"That's right, I want the Zhou family to participate in the investment."

When Zhou Xinyao heard this, she lowered her head slightly, handed the cooked ginseng tea to Zhang Tinglan, and said, "Zhuoyan, you don't have to look at my face for business matters, and deliberately give the Zhou family some benefits." , Otherwise, the whole family will become lazy and wait for ready-made ones. They also have their own way, so they should go for it on their own, and your career is also earned by yourself."

"My wife really understands righteousness, but don't worry, it's not for your face. I really need the Zhou family's relationship network in the pass."

While speaking, Zhang Tinglan held Zhou Xinyao in doubt, gently sniffed the girl's unique fragrance, and said in her ear: "Daughter-in-law, people say that a good wife in a family is better than a good look in the country. I can marry you into the Family, I really don’t know where the blessing came from!”

"Guang will coax me!" Zhou Xinyao said with a blushing face, "You said you would marry me, but you didn't think about preparing for it at all. It's just hypocrisy!"

"Do you still need to make preparations? I'll leave it to you!" Zhang Tinglan was about to throw Zhou Xinyao down when she was speaking. At this time, Shen Hua, the head of the guard, suddenly came to the door and said in a low voice, "Master, the American guests are here!"

Chapter 334 The one who bought the weapon delivered it to the door

Zhang Tinglan was very dissatisfied with Shen Hua's disappointment at the critical moment, but he couldn't blame this reckless guy. After all, the cooperation with the Americans was too important. It was related to the success of the soybean plan. Zhang Tinglan had to deal with it carelessly, and Zhou Xinyao also Helping him change into formal clothes, accompanied by Shen Hua, Zhang Tinglan came to the reception room.

There was already a tall Westerner standing there. This guy was about 30 years old, more than 1.8 meters five in height, handsome and gentle in appearance. In later generations, he would definitely be a first-class movie star. After seeing Zhang Tinglan, he took the initiative Shake hands and say hello.

The two of them have dealt with each other before. At the beginning, the Japanese conspired to seize the Fengtian official bank. In the end, Britain and the United States came forward to help Zhang Tinglan withstand the pressure. In Fengtian Bank, Zhang Tinglan also reserved 15.00% of the shares for the United States. People, the person in front of him was Kerry, the representative of the Cleveland Foundation in the United States at that time. When the two met again, they were very enthusiastic.

"Your Excellency, General, I want to congratulate you. You have just led your heroic subordinates to defeat the Russians. This has surprised the world. I think those politicians will have to look at China with new eyes!"

"It's not just politicians. I don't think any shrewd businessman will ignore China's huge market. There are unlimited business opportunities in it, so how can we explore it?"

"Your Excellency, your words are too correct. I think you are not only first-class in military command, but also have great business acumen!"

The two talked for a while, then sat down to each other, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I invite you here this time, just to discuss a cooperation project, and the amount is huge, and the annual profit can be at least 1000 million US dollars. Interested?"

One heard $1000 million.Kerry's eyes widened. This is really not a small amount. The total qualification of the Cleveland consortium is only a few hundred million. A project can earn more than 1000 million in profits a year. This is definitely a The old hen that laid the golden eggs.

If this negotiation can be completed, Kerry will definitely skyrocket and be reused even more. His mind is also constantly spinning, thinking about what kind of cooperation projects the three eastern provinces have, which can have such benefits.

"Your Excellency, General. Can you tell me about the specific project? I've tried a lot, but I still can't guess it."

This American is very frank, and Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "There are not many projects in the Northeast that can make so much money. I mean soybeans, the most important economic crop in the Northeast. This is a special product of the three Northeast provinces, and it is exported globally. The quantity is also very astonishing. As long as the trade of soybeans is controlled, high profits of monopoly can be obtained.”

Kerry is also very familiar with the situation in China. When Zhang Tinglan mentioned soybeans, his interest was completely aroused. This is indeed a project with great potential, as long as it is done well.A net profit of 2000 million per year is not difficult at all, but he immediately felt a little worried.

"Your Excellency, soybeans are indeed a huge profiteering industry. But as far as I know, this industry has been monopolized by the Japanese, and we have no chance at all. You should know that although the United States is very powerful, this is the Far East, and the three eastern provinces are traditionally With the sphere of influence of the Japanese, it is difficult for us to bypass Japan's obstruction and make this business."

"I want to correct you. The sphere of influence of the Japanese is South Manchuria, not North Manchuria. Now that the Middle East Road belongs to Fengjun, North Manchuria has fallen into my hands. And I control a large number of farms. In the next few years, billions of kilograms of soybeans can be produced, and the right to sell soybeans in the three northeastern provinces will be in my hands. If I don’t value American industrial and agricultural technology, I really don’t want to share it with others. This huge cake!"

Zhang Tinglan's words revealed strong confidence, and Kerry was also very tempted by what Zhang Tinglan said. Indeed, as Zhang Tinglan said, Fengjun has defeated the Russians and proved his strength. As long as they are given a certain amount of time, Fengjun will definitely have checks and balances ability of the Japanese.

If we cooperate with Zhang Tinglan now and open the door to the Northeast, it will have an incomparable advantage in expanding the economic interests of the United States. Kerry was completely persuaded.

"Your Excellency, I am very optimistic about this project, and I believe the same is true in China, but those annoying Japanese are the biggest obstacle. I am afraid it is not good to confront them head-on. I would like to know your specific action plan."

Zhang Tinglan nodded, and then said: "Indeed, this is a huge cake. If we don't pay attention to the strategy, we will be choked. First of all, I don't plan to stimulate Japan too much. I want to take a roundabout route. The two sides will cooperate first." An oil extraction factory, using the latest oil extraction technology, all products are aimed at the Chinese market, not involved in export, not to grab the meat of the Japanese mouth for the time being.”

Why did Zhang Tinglan cooperate with the United States? In addition to using the power of the United States to fight against the Japanese, the most important thing is to introduce American technology. Japan can monopolize the oil extraction industry mainly by relying on the oil extraction process.Although leaching oil has become an unhealthy oil product in later generations, and the stupid squeezing method has been praised again, but at present, the leaching method still has incomparable advantages.

Cooperating with the Americans to set up a factory is to help China obtain this kind of technology. After listening to Zhang Tinglan's plan, Kerry also thinks it is very feasible. The leaching method is not a great technology, and the United States can completely transfer it, and it is aimed at China. In the market, the Japanese have nothing to say for the time being.

"Then what's the next step?"

"Naturally, the profit margins of the Japanese are compressed. We can raise the price of soybeans, forcing Japan to raise the price accordingly, and their profits will be severely reduced. And as long as I give me a year or two, I will be able to Completely control the sales of soybeans. By then, we will have an oil mill and a sufficient supply of soybeans, and it will be a matter of course to enter the international market!"

Zhang Tinglan's plan is absolutely vicious, and Kerry quickly figured out the sinister intentions. He first used the guise of selling to the domestic market to paralyze the Japanese, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the oil mill to grow stronger to control the sales of soybeans. , selling high-priced soybeans to the Japanese can compress their profits, making it difficult for the Japanese to continue.

As long as the Japanese cannot provide enough high-quality soybeans, they can replace them. From domestic sales to international sales, it is actually just a piece of paper without any difficulty.

Kerry calculated carefully, and the development of this plan is very good. If it is done well, it will definitely be a source of huge profits for the Cleveland Foundation. The Cleveland Foundation focuses on steel production and has achieved unprecedented expansion during World War I. However, the war is over. At the last minute, demand for steel will not always be so strong, so new sources of income must be found, and soybeans are a very attractive item.

"Your Excellency, General, we'd better discuss a detailed action plan and draw up an investment budget. I will immediately report to the country and seek support!"

Zhang Tinglan also readily agreed that these things have already been done by the people below, and the plans have almost been drawn up. Zhang Tinglan has full confidence that the Americans will definitely agree.

Cooperating with Fengtian will not only bring huge economic benefits, but also contain the power of Japan. At present, the Japanese ambitions for China are becoming more and more explicit. The Americans must also take certain measures to ensure their interests in China and defeat the Russians. Feng Jun naturally came into the sight of the United States.

Zhang Tinglan also has his own considerations in choosing to cooperate with the Cleveland Consortium. This consortium is a giant in the steel industry and has advanced technology. As long as the cooperation between the two parties deepens, Zhang Tinglan hopes to get three most important things from them. One is steel. The technical equipment of the industry, one is the fertilizer production technology, and the other is the tractor production line.

The terrain of the Great Plains in the three northeastern provinces is very suitable for machine operations. Tractors are indispensable, and they can also be modified to produce tanks. Zhang Tinglan has to pay attention. As for steel and chemical fertilizers, they are the two pillars of industry and agriculture. They are also determined to win. However, the first step of cooperation has not yet been implemented, and these things cannot be discussed on paper.

After Kerry was sent away, Lao Zhang suddenly sent a message from Fengtian, asking Zhang Tinglan to go to Fengtian as soon as possible to discuss important matters, so Zhang Tinglan hurried to Fengtian without stopping.

After getting rid of the cloud of war, Fengtian once again regained its prosperity and bustle, even better than before. On the streets of Fengtian, young people from other provinces pass by from time to time. Many people are planning to show their talents in Fengtian. After receiving a large sum of money, Wang Yongjiang's back became stiff all of a sudden.

He announced a series of education plans to popularize primary education in the three northeastern provinces. Each county and city must guarantee a middle school. At the same time, he is planning to build three comprehensive universities, including Fengtian University, Jilin University and Harbin University.

To promote the development of education on a large scale requires a large increase in the number of teachers. At the same time, the fees of various universities in Fengtian are subsidized, which also attracts many young students from all over the world to study in Fengtian, so the whole Fengtian is extremely lively.

After arriving at the Marshal's Mansion, Zhang Tinglan was directly invited into the Tiger Hall. Zhang Zuolin had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Zhang Tinglan came back, Lao Zhang smiled and said, "Zhuoyan, you played very well, and you beat the Russians hard. Feng Jun's prestige has saved me enough face!"

"It's all about the soldiers' lives. I don't dare to take credit for it. If you let me come over, I'm afraid you have something important to order?"

"Now there are two major events. One is that Li Bodhisattva and Duan Qirui in Beijing are in conflict. I don't know which side to bet on. In addition, Zhang Xun sent a representative to discuss with me several times and want to purchase on a large scale. The more ammunition, the better, he looks very urgent, I don't know if this guy has any bad intentions."

Zhang Tinglan's mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly understood that it was just at the critical moment of the dispute between the government and the court, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui were about to negotiate, and Zhang Xun was about to stage a restoration farce.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tinglan blurted out: "Sell it! Of course it has to be sold at a high price. The fat sheep that come to the door must be slaughtered!"

Chapter 335 Killing People

"Zhuoyan, look at Zhang Xun buying weapons in such a hurry, what is he planning to do?"

"Marshal, I don't know what his plan is, but even a mad dog can't bite us. The knowledge of this weapon business is great. For example, if we buy a rifle, we can sell it to them, but we can't sell it to them. The bullets are buckled, and they can be delivered in batches. As for other things, they have to be ordered in advance, and they have to be produced in the factory for a period of time, no, there is no problem with a delay of several months, or even a year. I feel aggrieved and let them Produce it yourself!"

When Zhang Zuolin heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he slapped his thigh immediately and burst out laughing. Zhang Tinglan's words were just in line with what Zhang Tinglan had in mind. It was indeed the case.If there is no military industry system, you will be slaughtered honestly, and you can’t complain. If you don’t want to buy from Fengtian, you can also find foreign powers, but you will be wronged more.

Old Zhang seemed to be able to see Zhang Xun's helpless and aggrieved look, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became. This was not gloating, but an affirmation of his own wisdom.How much painstaking effort was spent in it, relying on the huge profits of smuggling to get up the shelf of the factory, and then cheating many Russian technicians, it is today's situation.

After all the painstaking efforts, now is the time to reap the rewards. Relying on arms and playing with all the forces in the middle, this kind of joy is simply indescribable.

"Zhuoyan, I think we still need a red face and a bad face to fool them." Zhang Zuolin then ordered someone to invite Zhang Xun's representative, Gao Xiaoshan, over.

Gao Xiaoshan is a native of Shaoxing in his fifties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shaoxing masters were famous all over the world. Gao Xiaoshan followed Zhang Xun in the Qing Dynasty and was a loyal confidant. Now his status has skyrocketed.But after arriving in Fengtian, he was still honest.Zhang Zuolin, the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces, was on an equal footing with Zhang Xun, and Lao Zhang had just defeated the Russians, and he was in full swing. In addition, he had something to ask for, so Gao Xiaoshan was extremely polite.

"I have met Marshal Zhang. My Marshal asked me to say hello to you. Congratulations to Fengjun for his contribution to the country and regaining the Middle East Road. Fengjun is a powerful soldier in the world, and Zhang Yushuai is a role model for border guards, which is admirable."

Gao Xiaoshan was full of good words.Zhang Zuolin also smiled and said: "People can't write two characters in one stroke. Marshal Zhang Xun and I are both of the same family. Maybe hundreds of years ago, we are still a family. Now we are both guarding the border for the country. We should watch and help each other ,help each other."

Lao Zhang's few words are very decent.Gao Xiaoshan was very happy in his heart.It can be seen that Zhang Zuolin is not domineering and arrogant just because he defeated the Russians. It seems that there is still a door for this business!

Therefore, Gao Xiaoshan also hurriedly climbed up the pole. He said: "It is very reasonable for Yushuai to watch and help each other, but Rehe and other places are not as prosperous as Fengtian. We still have places to ask for Yushuai. You can help a thing or two."

"Be polite, be polite, as long as Zhang can agree. I will never frown."

Zhang Zuolin acted very proudly, Gao Xiaoshan was even more confident. He didn't expect Zhang Zuolin to be so kind. It seems that Zhang Zuolin was born with a beard, and he didn't have any scheming. .
