Unexpectedly, I saw Wang Yongjiang here, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly bowed to Wang Yongjiang: "If I guessed correctly, you are Wang Yongjiang, Mr. Wang Minyuan?"
Wang Yongjiang didn't expect that a junior like Zhang Tinglan could recognize him, he was a little bit surprised, and then smiled and said: "Young Master Zhang is right, it's my servant. I just chatted with Brother Liu, and then I realized that the North Market is from Master Zhang. Hand, what a hero out of a boy!"
Zhang Tinglan also blushed a little after being praised by the creator. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wang is absurdly praised. Mr. Jiuwen is a great talent in the world. I don't know if you think there are any shortcomings?"
Wang Yongjiang's eyes rolled slightly, and then he said: "Master Zhang has considered all aspects very well, but I heard that the North Market is actually under the control of Xingye Company, and the fortunes and misfortunes of all businessmen are in their hands. There is some risk in your thoughts."
Wang Yongjiang's words are a bit harsh, but they also point to the key point. At present, the rise and fall of the North Market is all tied to Zhang Tinglan, which cannot but be said to be a major hidden danger.When Wang Yongjiang said this, he also expressed suspicion of Zhang Tinglan. He even suspected that this was just a trap, the purpose was to lure businessmen in and extract wealth.
It's no wonder Wang Yongjiang thinks so. All forces in this era regard businessmen as Tang monk meat and squeeze them wantonly.Wang Yongjiang's ability to speak bluntly at this time also shows that this person is selfless in heart and is not afraid of offending others.
"Mr. Wang is right. It's just that the Fengtian businessmen have to face the powerful Japanese business power. If we don't stick together, we can only be defeated individually. Xingye Company is just a stopgap measure. As long as the Fengtian businessmen are strong enough, they will Split up and give everyone full autonomy!"
"Master Zhang, are you willing to give up such a big benefit?"
"Mr. Wang, our interests are the same as those of businessmen. If they are good, we can be good. What is a small industrial company? In the past dynasties in China, those who collect taxes and those who pay taxes have been opposed, thinking that taking money out of other people's pockets The two sides are rivals, but it is not the case, we collect taxes to provide better services, to guide and help everyone fight against foreign businessmen, and to protect our rights and interests.”
What was revealed in Zhang Tinglan's few words was unusual. Wang Yongjiang was so shrewd. He immediately realized that what Zhang Tinglan was talking about was a brand-new financial concept.
There are many financial experts in Chinese history, but none of these people can jump out of the vicious circle of accumulating money, including the famous Wang Anshi, all of which are like this. Their measures are to take more money from the people and ensure the country as much as possible. use.In the industrial age, finance has been endowed with more connotations, acting as a lever to regulate the economy, and the government is no longer simply collecting money, but has to become a service provider to promote and protect economic development.
Although Wang Yongjiang was amazingly knowledgeable, he was inevitably influenced by old ideas, and was still a little confused for a while: "Isn't taxation a guarantee for the government's expenses?"
"That's right, but this is only one aspect. There are more functions, such as building roads and bridges, developing education, introducing technology, purchasing machines, etc. For example, we use the tax rate as leverage to give preferential treatment to industries with great development potential. , there is only one ultimate goal, which is to promote the development of industry and commerce, and taxation should be collected from the people and used by the people!"
"These eight words are easy to say, but what can the government get? Who will do things that are not beneficial?"
"Mr. Wang, in the industrial age, if money is piled up in the treasury, it has no value. It can only play an important role if it is circulated. The government does not want to accumulate wealth through finance, but to guide capital flow. Money It is blood, and every industrial chain in society is a blood vessel, and only when capital circulates can society be full of vitality."
Wang Yongjiang thought about Zhang Tinglan's words carefully, and it seemed to be a syllable. In fact, Wang Yongjiang usually did not think about it, but he still had to get rid of the traditional Confucian concept of financial management. Now, when he heard Zhang Tinglan's words, he suddenly saw the sun. Wang Yongjiang's face showed joy s color.
"Young Master Zhang, I used to have doubts about you, but now I know how talented you are, Yongjiang treats a gentleman with a villain's heart!"
"You are welcome, sir. With your talent, you should stand up and do more for the people of Fengtian and this country."
Wang Yongjiang burst into laughter: "Master Zhang, this is a solicitation, but I'm used to being lazy, and I don't want to be scolded and troubled."
Of course Zhang Tinglan knew what Wang Yongjiang meant, that was because he didn't think highly of him, or even Zhang Zuolin, and they were not worthy of Wang Yongjiang's support.
Zhang Tinglan smiled at Wang Yongjiang: "Sir, I don't dare to recruit you, but seeing that you are interested in the North Market, I would like to ask you to be a personal consultant. If there is anything wrong, please give me some advice."
Wang Yongjiang also understands what a private consultant means, and he is trying to win him over. However, he does have the idea of joining Zhang Zuolin, but he still needs to observe carefully, so he nodded and said, "Let me think about it."
Speaking of which, Wang Yongjiang turned around and left the Finance Bureau. Before he walked out of the gate, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang rushed in from the outside with people. Zhang Zuoxiang had just captured Gao Ming, and he also arrested Lu Zhengxiong.
Just at this time, Zhang Zuolin also came back from outside the city. When he heard that Gao Ming dared to be so rampant, he was furious and hurried back to Fengtian. He hurried to the Finance Bureau again.
As soon as he met Lao Zhang, he repeatedly cupped his hands: "You sages, you have surprised everyone. Zhang didn't protect him well. Please forgive me!"
"Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be like this, aren't we all doing well!"
After everyone said a few words, these businessmen also left one after another, and went back to appease their families.Zhang Zuolin said with a smile: "This Gao Ming is also interesting. If we want to move him, he will shoot himself into the gun. Now, not even his family and himself can escape. We will take down the Finance Bureau. "
Lao Zhang then looked at Zhang Zuoxiang again: "Fuchen, it seems that we don't have anyone who understands finances. If we let a group of laymen manage it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!"
Zhang Zuoxiang was also scratching his head. There are many people in the 27th Division who can fight wars, but not many can manage civil affairs.
"Seventh Lord, I have a candidate, Wang Yongjiang, the deputy director of the Finance Bureau. At this time, he is good at financial management and familiar with police administration. He is a first-class talent. This time, Gao Ming detained everyone in the Finance Bureau, and returned They were about to torture everyone, but Wang Yongjiang saw the limelight, let them out, and chatted in the hall all night, and Wang Yongjiang didn't leave until I arrived."
"This is a smart man, if he can rely on us, he can use it!"
Gao Ming was arrested, his hometown was confiscated, and dozens of people were all detained. This caused a huge shock to Fengtian official circles. Kuai Mazhang couldn't even keep his cronies. It's time for Fengtian to change the dynasty. .
Zhang Tinglan was still planning how to deal with the aftermath. Fred finally got the news that their smuggling was an unprecedented success. They transported cigarettes, alcohol, and other luxury goods to sell, and made amazing profits.Not long ago, Zhang Tinglan officially appointed Qiao Ruixuan's younger sister, Qiao Lanyun, as the vice president of the trading company.
Just after taking office, Qiao Lanyun successfully organized a large-scale smuggling operation. More than a dozen wagons of goods were sent to the Russian Far East. These things were carefully selected by Qiao Lanyun. Many of them were high-end goods shipped from Europe and the United States to China. Naturally sought after by the Russian nobles, the sales are extremely hot.
The profit has more than doubled than last time, and the entire trade chain has become more mature. Fred also followed Zhang Tinglan's instructions to bribe the Russian dignitaries and spread a lot of money.Soon the second batch of wagons arrived, and these wagons were not empty, they were all filled with "broken copper and rotten iron", and they were quickly transported to Fengtian.
Wang Yongjiang is a very important figure in the Feng family, and it takes a lot of brainpower to write it. I started writing it last night, so I can barely do it like this.
Chapter 52 Please enter the urn
As time passed, Russia's performance on the battlefield became worse and worse. In the spring and summer of 1915, Russia lost a total of more than 170 million soldiers, lost countless weapons and equipment, and lost a large area of territory , the front had to retreat in great strides.
Although Russia has a large population, it can't stand such a loss. Gray animals can be recruited after they die, but the loss of arms and weapons cannot be replenished for the time being. Russia is in an unprecedented difficult situation.Domestic social conflicts have become more intensified, strikes have become more frequent, and the flames of uprisings have become difficult to suppress.
For the Russians, this war has become a nightmare, and it is still a nightmare with no end in sight.Through various channels, Fred had a clear understanding of Russia's internal situation. He was very fortunate to be able to cooperate with Zhang Tinglan. Judging from the current situation, Russia has indeed reached its last moment. It depends on who can get out of this huge empire. Bite off the most meat on the body.
The country is at its most critical moment, but the Russian nobles are completely unaware of it. They still live a luxurious life, and their demand for luxury goods continues unabated, and the more expensive the better, they don’t hesitate to spend money .
The nobles of Tsarist Russia don’t seem to care about the life and death of the empire. They only hope that the war can continue. They don’t care whether Russia wins or not. Therefore, as long as the war continues, they can use their power to embezzle the Mexican government’s military expenses and rob merchants of wealth. This is the so-called war fortune!
The luxury goods smuggled by Zhang Tinglan happened to impress the Russian nobles. They turned their ill-gotten gains into high-end leather clothes, expensive wine, cosmetics, jewelry, etc. Anything that could satisfy their show-off mentality was sought after.
Qiao Lanyun's business ability has indeed been brought into full play. The products she chooses are all things that can touch people's hearts. She has painstakingly shipped the products from Shanghai Beach and Tianjin Wei. The investment is amazing, but the harvest is even more amazing. There are many things Can get more than ten times the profit.
Relying on commodities and banknotes to open the way, Fred finally completely bought off the greedy Russian nobles. This time, he shipped a large number of second-hand machines from Russia in the name of buying scrap iron.
Zhang Tinglan was dispatching people to move down from the train. Fred said triumphantly: "Zhang, this time I only spent a small amount of money and let the Russians close four factories, including a quilt factory and a factory. A cannery, a cement factory, and a flour mill. Then all the machines were purchased at the price of scrap iron, and I hired a dozen skilled workers for you, and the machines can be reinstalled soon, and you You can have four factories!"
This time, Liu Shucheng was also involved in the porter work. He only knew that Zhang Tinglan had obtained food from Russians, and Liu Shucheng had already admired it. For so many years, it was foreigners who bullied Chinese people. I'm afraid Zhang Tinglan will be the first to take advantage of her!
As a result, Liu Shucheng only now knows that Zhang Tinglan has achieved such a level of business, which is equivalent to directly poaching the corner of Russia, and got four factories all at once, which is not a small sum!
The sewing machines, electric grinders, etc. shipped in are all good machines. At this time, there are very few factories in China, and the machine technology is extremely backward. Basically, they are junk goods from the big powers. can not afford.
This is the same in later generations. Since the beginning of the industrial revolution in Britain, there are only a handful of fully industrialized countries in the world. The reason is that the huge investment in the early stage cannot bear it. Most countries are discouraged, and the complete set of industrial machines is too expensive.
The machines shipped this time are relatively advanced. Although Liu Shucheng has never run a factory, he still has a vision.
"Young Master Zhang, you asked me to buy a few small workshops that produce building materials. The cement equipment that you brought in this time is very good. Our factory is about to be settled!"
"Well, it's really good. Other quilt factories, flour mills, and canning factories will also be established. After a while, we will not only rely on smuggling, but also sell serious commodities. Smuggling is not a right way. , besides, we have to train our own workforce, so it is necessary to build a factory!"
Compared with the later generations, these machines are very simple, stupid, black and thick, not beautiful at all, and their performance is mediocre, but this is indeed the beginning of Fengtian's industrialization, so it is very important.
"Old friend, light industry is good, but it's better to get some heavy industry equipment, preferably a military production line. This is what we need urgently!"
"Zhang, you are not greedy enough. It is not easy to get these equipment. Russia has entered the wartime system, and the production control of materials is very strict. The soldiers on the front line cannot eat enough and cannot wear warm clothes. They'll rebel if they find out that we've bought our precious machinery for scrap!"
Zhang Tinglan laughed loudly: "Don't worry, even if it is a rebellion, it will only cause trouble for the Russian government and has nothing to do with us."
Fred also had a smile on his face. He shrugged and said, "The Russians are indeed in great trouble, Zhang. I think the Russians are likely to lose the race!"
When Zhang Tinglan first met Fred, she said that Russia was in a race against time. If she wanted to survive, she had to win the first battle before the empire collapsed. Fred said this at this time, In fact, it is already very pessimistic about the future of Russia.
"Zhang, we still need to have an in-depth discussion and come up with a better cooperation plan."
