Beiyang reactionaries

really.

Duan Xun did not build these railways blindly, but in steps.He not only considered his own economic situation, but also considered how to use private capital.Hand over some railway construction to private capital, and then concentrate on building the most difficult but useful railways.

"General Duan, although I don't understand it very well, I think it will not be easy to build the Baocheng Railway and the Xukun Railway."

"Of course. These two railways add up to about [-] kilometers, and the construction is relatively difficult. I said it was six years. In fact, I can extend the construction period of these two railways, especially the Xukun Railway, to eight years." Year."

"So……"

"I know what Boss Huang means. Even these two railways are a huge financial burden for me. The annual financial allocation needs to be more than tens of millions, and it may even need about 2000 million. But no matter how difficult it is, It must also be built. I will not talk about the convenient transportation brought by the railway, and the development of cities along the railway. The railway construction alone can drive a large number of related industries, and I must also build the railway. At present, Sichuan in my hands The steel factory is trying to find a way to make steel rails. I hope that when I build these railways, I can use the steel rails we produce ourselves."

"kindness."

Huang Yizhu saw Duan Xun's determination.

Duan Xun looks very young, but from Duan Xun's attitude, you can tell that Duan Xun is a person who will not back down when he makes up his mind.Although we only talked about some things about the railway, Huang Yizhu's impression of Duan Xun suddenly improved a lot.There is even a feeling that Duan Xun is the kind of person he wants to find.It took me a month to enter Shaanxi this time, and seeing Duan Xun was worth it.

What time is it now?

It was time of war.

But while Duan Xun was fighting the war, he did not forget about the construction. He had even worked out a railway development plan for the next six years.There are several such warlords in China.Anyway, among the warlords Huang Yi lived in contact with, there was really no one like Duan Xun.

"Actually, Boss Huang, you don't have to worry about me. Since I dare to make such a plan, I will have a way to get money and a way to increase my income."

Duan Xun smiled.

Duan Xun is now targeting the customs revenue.Although Duan Xun is still afraid to take back the customs, but Duan Xun is fighting for Guan Yu's income.At present, many high-quality customs in China are within the control area of ​​Duan Xun.

For example, Chongqing, Changsha, Hankou, and Mengzi are all ports with a lot of imports and exports, and the annual customs revenue is astonishing.That is, Guan Yu has tens of millions every year.Incorporating this into his own financial system, Duan Xun's financial income can immediately rise to a higher level.

"General Duan, when I return to China this time, I want to do my part for the development of the country. If General Duan allows, I want to settle down in Sichuan and invest in Sichuan."

"Welcome, welcome. It is really a great thing to have a patriotic businessman like Boss Huang who is willing to return to China to invest and build the country."

Hearing that Huang Yizhu was willing to stay, Duan Xun was overjoyed.

For the past two years, Duan Xun has been in contact with rich people in Nanyang, but unfortunately they don't like Duan Xun, so there have not been many real rich people who have come to invest in Southwest.

But with Huang Yizhu, he can open a way among wealthy overseas Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia.

"Boss Huang, in fact, you don't have to worry too much. You can take a look at these provinces in the southwest of our country to see what industries can be invested. By the way, I will also give suggestions to our government to see if there is anything we need to correct. .”

"Ok."

Duan Xun does not interfere with Huang Yizhu's willingness to invest.

And living with Huang Yi is not that attractive to Duan Xun.After all, Duan Xun now controls eight provinces. Although Huang Yi lives in tens of millions, although his assets are not small, it will not make Duan Xun lose his temper.

Duan Xun valued Huang Yizhu because he valued the wealthy group of overseas Chinese in Nanyang behind him.

These people come to invest, and it is the real power.One Huang Yi living in Duan Xun may not care, but if ten Huang Yi live in and invest, then let alone Duan Xun, even the Beijing government will be alarmed.

"General."

When Duan Xun and Huang Yizhu were talking more and more tacitly, Bai Jianwu called Duan Xun softly beside Duan Xun.

"George Swire and Edward Dowood please see."

"I see."

Duan Xun nodded, then smiled at Huang Yizhu and said, "Boss Huang, look, isn't the person who came to try to persuade the fight here?"

235 Mediation 3

"George, Eduardo, I haven't seen you for a while."

George Swire and Edward Dowood.

Currently, the two British businessmen who have the closest relationship with Duan Xun.The relationship between Duan Xun and Britain has always been close, but the business with these two people is getting bigger and bigger.And through the two of them, Duan Xun also has close ties with many British financial institutions in Shanghai.

A large part of Duan Xun's loans was borrowed from British banks by the two of them.Because it is through the two of them, not through the British government, it is a purely commercial loan.

Duan Xun's choice in the Southwest is like this.

Maintain a very good relationship with the Japanese government, or the Japanese military.The Japanese Tatsuruta who has been in close contact with Duan Xun is also a member of the Japanese military.On the contrary, Duan Xun did not have much contact with Japanese businessmen, and even if there were any commercial transactions, they were all completed through Tsuruta Tatsuya.In other words, Duan Xun has a lot of cooperation and interests with the Japanese government.However, in contact with the UK, Duan Xun had a bad relationship with the British consul, but he did not have many conflicts with the British financial circles and British businessmen. On the contrary, he had a lot of cooperation.

"General Duan."

The cooperation between the two of them and Duan Xun is very pleasant.

Therefore, he has always had a good relationship with Duan Xun.When Duan Xun entered Shaanxi last year, these two people ran over again, wanting to see what business could be done in Shaanxi.China is currently at war, and the two of them also came to Xi'an to see the outcome of the war.

Duan Xun is a cornucopia for the two of them.

After cooperating with Duan Xun, the income of the two has been rising steadily.This is the case in China. Although China is poor and backward, who made China so big, with such a large population, and with so many resources.

Next to a Chinese warlord like Duan Xun, these businessmen's annual income is astonishing.

"You two, why don't you come to me together today when you are free?"

"General Duan, we are old friends, and I won't go around in circles with you. We came to find you this time because of Sir Zhu Erdian's entrustment."

George Swire told Duan Xun directly the purpose of the trip.

Duan Xun smiled slightly.

Duan Xun knew a long time ago that such a large-scale military action by himself would make the situation more and more tense, which would definitely attract the intervention of European and American countries.At present, only the British can directly intervene, or come to mediate.

Because if the fight continues, Britain will be most affected.

Duan Xun currently occupies almost most of the places along the Yangtze River, which were originally the traditional British sphere of influence.But what makes the UK more embarrassing is that Duan Xun belongs to the Anhui faction and is a pro-Japanese faction.

This embarrasses the UK.

And if Duan Xun continues to go crazy, his strength will continue to expand.Then it is tantamount to overthrowing a pro-Japanese Duan Qirui, and another pro-Japanese "Duan Qirui" came out.And "Duan Qirui" who is even more disobedient than Duan Qirui.

So Britain will definitely interfere.

But it would be very awkward to interfere.Because Duan Xun is currently nesting in the northwest province of Xi'an, even if Zhu Erdian wants to talk to Duan Xun in person, he can't do it.If Duan Xun is in places like Shanghai or Wuchang, then meeting is also easy.

But Xi'an?

Zhu Erdian is so old, how can he enter Xi'an.And when Zhu Erdian entered Xi'an, it took half a month or 20 days to see Duan Xun, and the day lily was cold by then.Therefore, Zhu Erdian can only find some people who are familiar with Duan Xun and who can represent the interests of the United Kingdom.

After looking around, Zhu Erdian found George Swire and Edward Dowood.

"Sir Jurdian doesn't know what he wants to tell me."
