Chapter 59 The Big Prince Greedy and Lustful

Zhang Tinglan had a brief exchange with Song Zhongyi, and found that this man had a good business sense and courage. The most important thing was that he had a sense of mission as a businessman, and he really put industry in his heart to save the country.

Zhang Tinglan mainly relies on Qiao Ruixuan and Liu Shucheng in business, but they are both traditional businessmen and have never run a factory. Song Zhongyi has been running a factory for more than five years and has rich experience. He is a rare talent.

In particular, Song Zhongyi was completely lost in confidence by the Beiyang government. He had heard of the Beiyang Market, and now he saw Zhang Tinglan again. Although Fang was young, his attitude was humble, calm and sophisticated. At first glance, he seemed to be someone who was doing big things, and he was worth relying on .

"Mr. Song, of course I welcome you to move the factory to Fengtian, but the ugly thing is beforehand. Going to Fengtian is not to enjoy happiness, but to endure hardship. You set up a textile factory, which is just a light industry. If we really want to strengthen the country, we must build Steel mills, machine tool factories, tractor factories, and even shipyards form a comprehensive industrial system. For this goal, each of us has to work hard, especially to obey the overall situation and not focus on our own gains and losses."

"Master Zhang, it's nothing to suffer. The most difficult thing these years is actually dealing with those officials and old men. They ask you for money if they have a name. My factory is there. In their eyes, that is Tang monk meat, everyone wants to cut off a piece, and it is impossible to guard against it, and it is exhausting!"

Song Zhongyi was very emotional when he talked about this: "Master Zhang, building a factory is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I don't expect the government to help me, but I can't deliberately make trouble and delay my legs. China has a vast land and abundant resources. We must With one heart and one mind, work hard and achieve some results, do you still need to look at the faces of foreigners!"

"It's good that Mr. Song has this determination." Zhang Tinglan said, "I just don't know how big your factory is. Is it easy to relocate?"

"At first, I purchased a British spinning machine with a total of 200 spindles, and later expanded to [-]. With [-] employees, it is already a big factory in the north." At this point, Song Zhongyi slapped his thigh hard, full of annoyance.

Although Zhang Tinglan didn't know much about the textile industry, he remembered that after Zhang Zuolin took charge of Northeast China, he built the Fengtian Spinning Mill, with an initial scale of [-] spindles.If you count the newly purchased machines, Song Zhongyi's factory has surpassed that of Fengtian Spinning Factory, and he has picked up a treasure this time.

With Song Zhongyi's factory, the starting point of Fengtian's textile industry will be greatly improved. Zhang Tinglan's face showed joy: "Mr. Song, can you still get the batch of machines you ordered?"

"Of course, it will be stored at the port of Tianjin. As long as the funds are in place, the goods will be delivered immediately."

"That's good. Since foreigners don't accept tickets for transportation, I will provide you with 50 Russian rubles first, and you must keep the machines. Then the whole factory will be relocated to Fengtian. I will bear all the costs. Technicians are hired with high salaries, and ordinary workers are willing to go to Fengtian to provide accommodation and double their salaries. I only have one request, and that is to build a textile factory as soon as possible!"

There is a reason why Zhang Tinglan is so anxious. There are no large-scale textile factories in Fengtian or even the three eastern provinces. The clothes of the common people are all homemade homemade cloth. The homemade cloth in the Northeast is not comparable to foreign cloth, even the homemade cloth in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. .But now is the time for a large number of people to enter the Guandong. The population of the Northeast is growing rapidly, and the demand for cloth is also rising. This is a market with huge potential.

Especially since the First World War is still going on, there are a lot of cloth needed, and Zhang Tinglan can't help but be concerned about the rapid and complete relocation, putting into production, and even looking for opportunities to open up the international market.

"Young Master Zhang, there is another problem. The original sales outlets of the textile factory were all in the customs, but now they have moved to Fengtian, and the scale has expanded. I am worried that they will not be able to sell them."

"Mr. Song, you don't have to worry about sales, I will do my best to solve it, and we will sell the cloth to Europe to earn foreign exchange directly. At that time, we will directly buy machines with foreign currency, and your situation will not happen this time!"

Zhang Tinglan was full of confidence, and Song Zhongyi was sure. The two sides had almost reached a conclusion. Zhang Tinglan immediately took Song Zhongyi to the Liuguo Hotel to provide him with funds and at the same time lead him to meet Zhang Zuolin. After all, he was still too young. If Lao Zhang made a statement , can make Song Zhongyi more at ease.

They hurried back to the Liuguo Hotel, and before entering the hotel, they saw a large group of people gathered outside. Zhang Tinglan inquired and found out that Wang Shizhen was also staying here temporarily. Yuan Keding personally sent Wang Shizhen here. It was a coincidence for them , met at the train station, and met again at the hotel.

This eldest son treated Wang Shizhen with great respect. After they rushed in, Zhang Tinglan went in to find Zhang Zuolin. As soon as Lao Zhang saw Zhang Tinglan came back, before he could speak, he asked him to change into formal clothes and prepare the presents .The person Lao Zhang most wanted to bribe this time was Yuan Keding, so when he saw Yuan Keding also at the Liuguo Hotel, Lao Zhang hurriedly ordered Yuan Jinkai to invite him.

Zhang Tinglan also knew that it was important to deal with the eldest son, so she hurriedly followed Lao Zhang's instructions and made preparations.They waited at the door of the room for more than half an hour before Yuan Keding left Wang Shizhen's room and came to see Zhang Zuolin under Yuan Jinkai's guidance.

Yuan Keding moved Wang Shizhen out in order to replace Duan Qirui. When Lao Yuan had the idea of ​​becoming the emperor, he first tested the tone of his subordinates. In the end, only Duan Qirui clearly opposed it, so Lao Yuan had a good heart for this Duan Qirui. dissatisfied.

However, Duan Qirui, known as the Tiger of Beiyang, has a very high prestige, and is also the leader of the Beiyang Clan. After the Republic of China, he has been in charge of the Ministry of Army, with many cronies and deep roots.After thinking about it, old Yuan felt that if he wanted to take down the tiger, he must use the dragon, so he instructed Yuan Keding to invite Wang Shizhen.

For the sake of Lao Yuan's great cause, Mr. Yuan was willing to run around, even knelt down, and finally invited Wang Shizhen. Yuan Keding felt that it was a great achievement, so he was very proud.

At this time, Yuan Jinkai came to invite Yuan Keding on behalf of Zhang Zuolin, and the eldest son knew that there was a Mr. Zhang living in the Liuguo Hotel. Old Yuan always valued the local powerful faction, but Yuan Keding obviously did not take Zhang Zuolin seriously. After the invitation, the first thing that comes to mind is the gift. There are too many people fawning on him during this time.

The eldest son came to see Zhang Zuolin excitedly with the heart of buying goods.At this time, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan were waiting at the door of the room, and from a distance, they saw a middle-aged man in his 30s rushing towards him. Lao Zhang hurriedly walked a few steps and bowed his hands in salute.

"It's an honor for Zuolin to come, Eldest Young Master!"

Yuan Keding was different from Yuan Shikai. He was tall and handsome. If he hadn't broken his leg because he fell off a horse, he would definitely be considered a handsome man.Seeing that Zhang Zuolin was very obedient, he also hurriedly grabbed Zhang Zuolin, but he waited until Zhang Zuolin bowed before pulling him, which was obviously a bit pretentious.

Yuan Keding said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for three years, but I still look good. My father said a long time ago that Fengtian has Mr. Zhang sitting in the town, and he is as stable as a rock!"

Zhang Zuolin went to Beijing in the first year of the Republic of China, when he was promoted to the commander of the 27th Division, and Yuan Keding met him.

When Lao Zhang saw Yuan Keding talking about the past, he quickly showed a look of panic: "Zuo Lin was born in a rough place, and he was able to be promoted to the high position of division commander, all thanks to the promotion of the President, Yu Ting dare not forget it for a moment."

Zhang Zuolin asked Yuan Keding to enter his room, and after sitting down, Yuan Keding took the initiative to ask about Fengtian's public opinion.

"Mr. Zhang, newspapers all over the country are discussing the issue of the national system recently. What is the situation in Fengtian?"

"My lord, Zuolin is a soldier and doesn't understand politics. However, I have heard many people bring up this matter. Most of them say that the people of our country are not yet enlightened, and the president is far-sighted. He is the hope of all people. Everything depends on the wishes of the president. , as long as the President makes a decision, everyone in Fengtian will obey the order."

Yuan Keding nodded, and was very satisfied with Zhang Zuolin's answer. He said, "I have been to Germany to study and found that the reason why Germany is strong and prosperous is the implementation of the constitutional monarchy system. , is an example for China. It's just that there are always some villains in the country who don't understand the international situation or the domestic sentiments, and blindly oppose it, which is really abominable!"

"My lord, those people are just gnats shaking the tree. They are overwhelmed. The morale of the people is on the president's side. They can't turn the sky." As he spoke, Lao Zhang winked at Zhang Tinglan. Zhang Tinglan understood and hurriedly handed over a bank note. Handed it to Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang smiled and said to Yuan Keding: "Zuo Lin has received great favor from the President, and he has nothing to repay. He is willing to make a small effort to help the eldest son to see the truth!" Among them, Fengtian has always been a poor province, except for the native products such as ginseng, there is nothing worth mentioning, but after he took the bank note, his eyes also brightened.

Lao Zhang sent out 20 rubles at once, which is equivalent to 23 oceans, which is definitely not a small amount.Moreover, in this era, Chinese people's own money is not as strong as foreign currency, so Lao Zhang directly sent foreign currency, which made the eldest son very pleased. Of course, he didn't know that these rubles would become a pile of waste paper in the near future.

"Yuting, you are too polite! Fengtian is not rich, how can I accept your big gift!"

Changing from "Mr. Zhang" to "Yuting", all the face is on this bank note. Lao Zhang knows it well, but he continues to pretend: "My lord, as I said, Fengtian is not rich, but we The loyalty to the great president is a lesson to be learned from day to day. In addition, I still have some native products, which I want to dedicate to the eldest son!"

When Yuan Keding heard that Lao Zhang would continue to give gifts, a gratified smile appeared on his face. At this time, Zhang Tinglan had already asked people to present gifts. First of all, there were two old ginseng, and the largest one was full More than ninety-two.

As the saying goes, seven taels are ginseng, and eight taels are treasures.Old ginseng has the function of renewing life, the older it is, the better the efficacy of the medicine, Zhang Zuolin spent a lot of money in order to impress Yuan Keding.Yuan Keding was indeed tempted. There was no such big ginseng in the presidential palace, and his impression of Zhang Zuolin was getting better and better.

Immediately afterwards, ten sea dragon hats and ten fox fur gowns were presented, all of which were top-grade leather materials, attractive in color, soft and smooth, and when touched by hands, it was like touching delicate silk and satin.

In the end, Zhang Tinglan asked to bring in two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls. Yuan Keding's eyes straightened immediately, and there was a fiery light in his eyes.

Chapter 60 Yang Shiqi also fell

These two little girls looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, their stature was not yet full, but their faces were pretty, their skin was fair and tender, and their timid expressions were adorable.What's even more amazing is that these two little girls are exactly the same, they are actually twins.

They are dressed in Korean traditional costumes, plain white skirts, and ruby ​​necklaces around their necks, like plum blossoms in the snow, revealing a charming and enchanting look.Yuan Keding stared at the North Korean twins, with a look on his face that only a man could understand. He rubbed his hands unconsciously, obviously completely fascinated!

Yuan Keding has countless beauties, and the ordinary beauties are naturally not in his eyes. The reason why these two little guys can impress him is because of their special secrets.The starting point of Yuan Shikai's life career was in North Korea. Through superb means, he became the de facto emperor of North Korea. With his own power, he played with the whole North Korea. But Yuan Shikai's previous actions are also worthy of special mention.

The Koreans were also in awe of Yuan Shikai, so they had to use women to win over Yuan Shikai. They dedicated Empress Mingcheng's cousin to Yuan Shikai and became Lao Yuan's concubine. Influenced by his father, Yuan Keding also had a Korean plot.

When Zhang Tinglan was searching for North Korean refugees, he found a pair of twins. At that time, they were still dirty and disheveled, but they had begun to show their beauty.Zhang Tinglan specially took them in and provided them with delicious food and drink.

After more than a month, the color on the faces of the two little girls has disappeared, and they have become plump, white and tender, and they have been dressed up in a special way. They are like buds, and they are infinitely attractive. Zhang Tinglan can't help but have some evil thoughts, but In the end, he was cruelly brought to Beijing.

Looking at it, Yuan Keding felt more and more attractive. He even stood up unconsciously, and walked quickly to the side of the twins. He felt a burst of fragrance like orchids and musk deer invading his nostrils. This eldest son seemed to be drunk. average.

Lao Zhang saw everything in his eyes. When he first saw the twins, he was also surprised. Two identical little beauties can indeed arouse people's evil.Lao Zhang didn't expect that Zhang Tinglan would get such a pair of treasures. This kid is not very old, but he understands men's idiosyncrasies quite well.

"My lord, they are all refugees from North Korea. They are lonely and helpless. Please take pity on them and accept them!"

Yuan Keding managed to regain his composure when he heard this. He wanted to be polite, but when the words came to his lips, they became one word: Good!

The eldest prince couldn't bear to refuse anymore, and Lao Zhang gave money, things, and beauties, and Yuan Keding completely lost his resistance.

"Yuting, don't worry, just tell me if you have anything to do, I will do my best!"

"My lord, everything Zuolin does is to thank the President for his kindness. If there is anything I want to ask for, it is to do more things for the President and to share his worries!"

Yuan Keding nodded: "Yuting, I understand. Zhang Xiluan returned to Beijing a few days ago and talked nonsense to my father. Don't worry, I will make it clear to my father that Yuting's innocence will be restored. Fengtian's safety will be even more important in the future." Rely on Yuting!"

Yuan Keding understood what he had said so far, and Lao Zhang hastily bowed his hands in thanks.
