Fengxian Jiangshan

Zhang Tinglan and Fred have cooperated many times, and they already have a deep tacit understanding. He knows that this Jew should be planning to make a layout on the Russians, and Zhang Tinglan is also happy about it. Any empire that collapses suddenly is a luxurious feast. It depends on how much you can eat.

"It's true that we should talk about it. We all have to think about it. A huge cake is right in front of us."

Soon the equipment was moved away. This time Fred also recruited more than a dozen Russian technicians. The Russian economy has collapsed and the black market is rampant. Work, can get good pay, they are extremely motivated.

In order to avoid too much influence, Fred only selected a dozen of the most skilled and simple and honest guys, and this time they took the train together.Zhang Tinglan immediately asked Liu Shucheng to prepare the best houses to house these Russian technicians, let them eat well and live well, and then let them use their abilities.

Zhang Tinglan doesn't need to explain these things, Liu Shucheng has already arranged them very well. He placed these Russians in a special compound, provided them with high wages, and prepared a lot of spirits. Several women accompanied them.

These Russians are addicted to alcohol to an outrageous degree, and spirits are like water to them.Especially during this period of time when supplies were scarce in Russia, they couldn't afford alcohol at all, and now in Fengtian, they finally had the opportunity to binge drink, and everyone seemed desperate.

Liu Shucheng was even worried that they would drink to death, so he had to set strict restrictions, and asked them to only binge drink after teaching the apprentices, which stopped the cubs from going crazy.

From the moment the machines were transported to Fengtian, these four factories began to enter into intense construction. Liu Shucheng had previously purchased several small workshops, expanded the workshops on the basis of the original ones, and then installed all the machines in them. .

These Russians participated in the whole process, and Liu Shucheng selected a group of young people aged [-] or [-] with the strongest learning ability to follow the Russians, starting from how they installed the machine, and striving to become a qualified worker as soon as possible. Zhang Tinglan will be able to own the first batch of factories.

Of course, this is not enough to satisfy Zhang Tinglan's appetite. What he really wants to get are steel factories, power plants, coal mining plants, and even military factories. Only heavy industry is the backbone of a country.

The end of Tsarist Russia is a good opportunity to get a batch of machines and skilled workers from Russia. Although Russia is among the great powers and its industrial technology is of the lowest level, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is better than China anyway.

And relying on Fengtian's foundation, don't try to get too high-end things at all. Even if you put precision instruments in front of you, not many people can operate them. On the contrary, relatively backward things like Russia are just right for China's national conditions.

Since Fred is going to deploy in Russia this time, all the money-making things are simply handed over to him, and he can get some dry goods as much as possible.However, Zhang Tinglan's thoughts have already flown to Europe. Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire's industrial enterprises are top-notch. The collapse of these two empires is the biggest opportunity.

In addition, Britain and France will also be greatly damaged. The short-term opportunity after World War I must not be let go. At least the problem of Fengtian weapons should be solved. As for whether it is good or bad, it depends on the efforts of the Chinese workers themselves.

After thinking about it for a day, and finalizing the general plan, Zhang Tinglan was about to go to find Fred, and his father Zhang Zuoxiang just returned to the mansion.As soon as they met Zhang Zuoxiang, he said with a smile: "Ting Lan, Gao Ming's chief has been dismissed, and Wang Yongjiang has temporarily acted as the chief. Yu Ting even went to visit Zhang Xiluan. I don't think the old man will be very angry!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zuoxiang laughed, Zhang Zuolin was obviously trying to bully Zhang Xiluan for his old age.

"Ting Lan, you have copied the North Koreans, Sheng Yun, and the Gao family one after another during this period of time, and your reputation is not very good. From now on, leave this kind of dirty work to your subordinates, and don't always think about rushing into battle!"

Zhang Tinglan also blushed for a while, the old man said polite words, someone outside already called him a little bandit, although the house raid was straightforward, but it did affect his reputation.Zhang Zuoxiang also loves Zhang Tinglan. A person's reputation is still very important. Zhang Tinglan is young and has a bright future, so his reputation cannot be ruined.Zhang Tinglan also understood her father's painstaking efforts, so she hurriedly nodded in agreement, and Zhang Zuoxiang smiled with satisfaction: "If you have something to do, go and do it!"

After saying goodbye to her father, Zhang Tinglan hurried to Daosheng Bank, and Fred had already prepared the top-quality Fujian Tieguanyin.

"Zhang, before I talk about Russia, I want to tell you some good news. Russia has let go, and the bait has been thrown out. It depends on whether the Japanese can catch it!"

Chapter 53 Entering Beijing

Miki shifted the focus of support to Feng Delin. The 27th Division and the 28th Division were originally equal in power. If Feng Delin received strong support from Japan, he would definitely be Lao Zhang's formidable enemy.

In order to divert the attention of the Japanese and at the same time prepare to consume Japan's financial resources, Zhang Tinglan and Fred jointly designed a plan to let the Russian government borrow money from Japan and purchase Japanese arms at the same time.Japanese military enterprises will definitely go crazy with joy. The First World War is almost a bottomless pit, devouring all arms crazily, and at the same time bringing innumerable profits.

But these Japanese would never have thought that the dignified Tsarist Russia would have a lifespan of less than two years, and that the red regime would follow, and all loans would be resolutely rejected.

Zhang Tinglan smiled and said to Fred: "I think Japan will definitely get involved, but you have to ask Japan to provide long-term loans as much as possible, preferably beyond Russia's tolerance limit."

Fred nodded: "Zhang, it's not difficult, but I only have one question about this plan. Even if Russia collapses, the new regime will still inherit the debts of the old regime, just like the Republic of China and the Qing Dynasty. The power of various countries in China has not been reduced at all. If it comes to that time, wouldn’t it be helping Japan to expand its commercial interests? This is not in line with your style of doing things!”

Zhang Tinglan glanced at Fred and said, "Old friend, do you understand what the majority party stands for?"

When Fred heard these three words, his eyes widened immediately, and he said in surprise: "Zhang, you don't want the majority party to replace Tsarist Russia, do you? Let me tell you, it will be a disaster for the world. They are a Helping the devil is the natural enemy of capital, you are not so confused as to support the enemy, right?"

"Old friend, I admit that their ideas are extreme, but Russia is in a very difficult situation. The more desperate it is, the more extreme ideas will be accepted. The Chinese pay attention to going with the trend and going against the trend, since the majority party is irresistible If there is a trend, we simply add fuel to the flames, support them, and disrupt Russia."

Fred also calmed down at this time. He knew Russia better than Zhang Tinglan. In fact, the Russians had a self-destructive factor in their bones, and their artworks were generally dark and depressing.They will definitely go crazy in desperation. This is culturally determined, and the majority party may actually be able to take power.

As a Jew, Fred was very clear about the propositions of the majority party. He even read Das Kapital. Although he hated the views in it, he had to say that it was a great book that exposed the evils of capital.

He stood up with great emotion, walked around twice, and then said: "Zhang, do you think that the majority party that believes in capital theory will come to power, and then according to their political views, the Japanese loans will inevitably be wiped out?"

"Almost!" The fact that the majority party defaulted on large French loans was one of the reasons for France's decline after World War I.

"Zhang, their views are very extreme. Didn't you think they would bite us back?"

"Old friend, even if they are a dog, they will bite the European powers first. What we want is to use this opportunity to strengthen our own strength as soon as possible to cope with this drastic change in the world!"

Fred fell into silence, his mind began to think quickly.Zhang Tinglan, on the other hand, thought everything through very clearly. Russia had become a red empire, its power had grown unprecedentedly, and its threat to China was greatly increased.Supporting the majority party and making Russia red as soon as possible seems to be supporting the enemy, but it is not!

The most supportive of the majority party in Russia is Germany. They urgently need to get rid of the situation of fighting on two fronts, and this is something that cannot be changed.Supporting the majority party in the Far East is to make Russia more complete.At the same time, the majority party is not monolithic. There will inevitably be conflicts between the majority parties that rely on the support of Germany and those that rely on China. Their interest demands are also different. This is tantamount to mixing sand within the majority party.

This is the so-called mystery of following the trend. After careful consideration, Fred said, "Zhang, my initial thought of deploying in Russia was just to take advantage of the country's chaos, buy bureaucrats, and obtain Russian resources. But your handwriting Sure enough, you are much older than me, and you actually want to support the majority party and split Russia, I don’t think your President Yuan has this idea, you are a complete little lunatic.”

"I'm going to do even crazier things! After Commander Zhang ascends to the throne of Fengtian Commander, I can even help them train soldiers, and then let them turn Russia upside down!"

Fred was completely defeated by Zhang Tinglan's madness, but every Jewish banker is a madman, and their pursuit of capital is equally crazy, supporting the opposition, disrupting the order of a country, and then making huge profits, this kind of thing is not rare.

In the past, what the super consortium could do, Fred could only sigh in awe. Now that he has cooperated with Zhang Tinglan, he also has this kind of power. Just imagining the possible huge profits, his blood boils.

"Zhang, do you have a specific strategy?"

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "The first step is to establish a strong trade network and find out the current situation in Russia. The next step is to choose the right agent. We need both the majority party and the internal side of Tsarist Russia, and even the minority in Russia. Ethnicity should also be considered. We don’t have many chips in our hands, so we have to wait for the opportunity, and we can only intervene appropriately after Russia undergoes drastic changes!”

Fred nodded. Although Zhang Tinglan's proposition was crazy, from a strategic point of view, it was very cautious and quite feasible, which also showed that Zhang Tinglan was still a rational person.

The two finalized the plan, and Fred said with a smile: "Zhang, we have decided on the layout in Russia in advance, so let's talk about how to deal with our Japanese friends later on!"

"Compared to owning wealth, I prefer to only deserve wealth. The former needs to be earned by oneself, while the latter is to use other people's money to do things for oneself. We can use Japanese loans to complete the layout in Russia. "

"It's a very incisive statement. If you become a banker, your achievements will definitely be even more amazing!"

The trap they set for the Japanese was not complicated. Fred had already persuaded senior Russian officials to let them release the wind and prepare to expand arms imports. Then Daosheng Bank, relying on its authority to manage approved arms imports, proposed to the Russian government The report suggested that Russia consider purchasing Japanese weapons.

All that is left is to wait for the Japanese to take the bait themselves. The Japanese, who are fascinated by the huge profits of weapons, will definitely work hard to facilitate this, and will also provide huge loans, and the money will fall into the pockets of Daosheng Bank.

Moreover, Fred and Zhang Tinglan also bribed the Russian dignitaries, so the weapons produced by Japan may not reach the hands of Russian soldiers at all, but become the equipment of Fengjun.After Russia collapsed, Japan lost both property, but Feng Jun ate meat and soup.

Using Japanese funds and weapons to turn against the Japanese is the most refreshing thing in the world. Fred and Zhang Tinglan, two foxes, one big and one small, finalized the matter.

This kind of thing must be done steadily and steadily, without any flaws, so both Fred and Zhang Tinglan remained calm for the time being.

Zhang Tinglan has a little leisure, but he has a lot of things to do. First of all, the Armed Police Corps has been fully formed. This is Zhang Tinglan's team. He must not relax. The Armed Police Corps must undergo actual combat tests. The target, of course, also includes North Korean refugees.

The Armed Police Corps was divided into two parts, one was in charge of public security in Fengtian City, and the other was in charge of clearing up and suppressing everywhere. The two groups continued to rotate, and soon the Armed Police Corps began to mature, fully capable of various tasks, and the business people in Fengtian also began to adapt. With this well-equipped, rigorously organized and innocent law enforcement team, the law and order in Fengtian began to change greatly.

In addition, the first batch of machines was shipped from Russia, and several factories had to be implemented. Zhang Tinglan also personally participated in the construction and provided assistance as much as possible. These simple factories carried the hope of Fengtian Industry, so Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but ignore them.

The scale of Xingye's trade will also expand. With the expansion of Russia's commerce and trade, not only luxury goods, but also ordinary daily necessities will also be smuggled in large quantities.Although the profits of ordinary commodities are not high, the demand is huge, and many Fengtian can produce by themselves, so the smuggling operation can also benefit Fengtian's business.

Of course, those who can participate are businessmen who have already invested in Xingye Company. They are connected with Zhang Tinglan's interests to get this preferential treatment. These businessmen are also very happy. In the past, some people doubted Zhang Tinglan's ability, but now they are all devoted to making a fortune together.

At the same time, the construction of the North Market has also entered the fast lane. Due to the freezing winter in the Northeast, which seriously affects the outdoor construction, only some indoor decoration can be carried out.Therefore, Qiao Ruixuan arranged for the workers to lay the ground first, dig the underground pipelines, and prepare materials.Before the freezing this year, it is estimated that only one-fifth of the project can be repaired, and the overall construction work will take two to three years.

Of course, this does not mean that the project is over. It will be rebuilt and expanded in the future. It is expected that the first batch of merchants will enter next spring. This speed is already amazing. Zhang Tinglan also expressed his satisfaction. He also took the initiative to improve the treatment of workers. It also sets standards for workers' compensation.

Workers who are injured during construction can be compensated. In the past, workers were responsible for all risks in their work, and their life and death were at their own risk. Now Zhang Tinglan took the initiative to take on this part of the responsibility. The enthusiasm of the workers was unprecedentedly high, and the efficiency has improved a lot.
