The journey starts from the Titanic

Zeng Limin has a voice in land acquisition.As the president of Meihua Company, Zeng Limin will naturally not be afraid of the KMT or a certain warlord’s power, and Meihua Company has a large amount of investment in the mainland. In addition to diplomatic means and self-reliance by foreigners, they also need to grab leverage to guarantee Meihua. Interests.

"I also agree with Zeng's opinion." Yao Hongmin gave Zeng Limin a willful glance and said: "Let those bastard warlords continue to kill the common people as scheduled. It is better to let us improve the people's situation. Of course, our ability is limited. , We can only choose a place that is not too big, and it is best to be in the coastal area, with relatively rich resources, so that we can build some industrial facilities. Is this no harm to the country or the people?"

After finishing speaking, Yao Hongmin smiled slightly and said: "I think Guangdong Province is the best. Lingnan has been a rich land since ancient times. It is also a coastal area. The economy is developed and the people are open-minded. They are closely related to us. If we can dominate Lingnan, we will It will greatly benefit our business in Nanyang..."

"This can't work!" Huang Sande quickly interjected and retorted, "Guangzhou is an important place for military strategists, where the water is deep and mixed with dragons and snakes. There are not only local business groups, officials of the Beiyang government, but also Southwest warlords such as the Kuomintang, Tang and Lu. If we venture in, we will not get good results."

"Then where are you talking about? Mr. Huang!" Yao Hongmin asked with a smile, and was not annoyed by Huang Sande's refutation.

"I think Jiangmen West Guangdong or Chaoshan East Guangdong is better!" Huang Sande replied casually.

As soon as he spoke, he looked at the helpless eyes of his old friend Situ Meideng and immediately realized that he had been induced by Yao Hongmin.He saw that, except for the two old guys, the other young people in the party agreed to go to the mainland to find a place to stay.And it is these energetic young people who hold the actual power.

These young talents are all rare talents, they are ambitious, as if they are not afraid of any difficulties.Even if they oppose it, it will not stop their determination to intervene in mainland affairs.

It's hard to collect the covered water, and you can't get it back when you speak.Huang Sande gave Situ Meideng a helpless look, and followed Yao Hongmin's ideas to discuss the site selection problem.

Hongmin is really slippery!

Situ Nan smiled slightly in his heart, and gave Yao Hongmin a reproachful look. He blamed this guy for being cunning, and immediately changed the concept of whether to establish a foothold in the mainland into how to establish a foothold in the mainland.

Yao Hongmin pretended not to see Situ Nan's eyes, and continued to discuss the issue of site selection.

Situ Nan turned his head and looked at He Wenxiu, who was sitting quietly next to him, with a casual smile on the corner of his mouth, as if a conspiracy had succeeded.

Obviously, Wenxiu, Hongmin and others have already passed their anger.

Well, since some people want to train soldiers, some want to expand their business, some even want Sang Zhi's hometown, in short, go to the mainland to open up a foothold and become a tacit understanding of everyone.Situ Nan also had no intention of blocking.Some things, how can I know if it works without trying?

Regarding the scope, scale, strategy, and dispatching personnel of a foothold on the mainland, individuals have offered suggestions. Some people suggested the Pearl River Delta near Guangzhou, some suggested southern Fujian, some suggested Western Guangdong and Guangxi, some suggested Yunguichuan, and some suggested Hainan. Island, in short, for a while, the conservative conservatives and the young radicals have a heated argument.

These guys are addicted to talking on paper. According to them, it will not take long to unify China and conquer the world.

Situ Nan didn't say a word, a little funny in his heart. Seeing these increasingly excited guys almost made the discussion run out of control, he couldn't help but knocked on the table crisply to interrupt their discussion.

After clearing his throat, Situ Nan said: "Remember, this is Medan and Nanyang. This is the key point. We have established a foothold on the mainland to facilitate our operations in Nanyang, and it is impossible to use our precious resources. Used in entanglements with domestic warlords. Instead of being a nest, we are a guard dog in Nanyang or provide a little shelter for vagrants overseas. Unless someone dares to pat his chest and say that he can clean up the old mountains and rivers, Otherwise, it's best to forget the years of fighting for hegemony in the mainland."

After speaking, Situ Nan sternly scanned the audience as a warning to them.Then Situ Nan concluded: "Leave the matter to Wenxiu and Hongmin! I hope you will continue to work closely together, consider the problem clearly, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

After the meeting, Situ Nan and He Wenxiu stayed."Are you satisfied?" Situ Nan smiled and said, "I don't know whether it is right to satisfy your ideas? Nowadays, there are a lot of things in Nanyang. Officers need training, workers need training, supplies need to be stored, as well as air force and navy. The matter also falls on you, can you stay busy? You can't go to the mainland this time. Call someone else!"

"Yeah. I think so too. I haven't taken any action yet. I have to investigate the situation in Guangdong, Mingui and other places before making a conclusion." He Wenxiu nodded, and Situ Nan said that he found that he had a heavier burden. Up.

"I know that there is someone who is very good. How to put it? It's a bit similar to the meaning of the Three Kingdoms when you get the Wolong and Phoenix youngsters to get the world. If we can recruit him, our affairs in the mainland will be much smoother in the future."

"Okay! I'll pay attention to him." He Wenxiu's eyes lit up. It was the first time he heard Situ Nan admiring a person like this.

Situ Nan knew that the north-south wars had turned into a pot of porridge, and soon an officer of Li Zongren was going to drill a ravine in the mountains of Guilin.

The tiger falls in the Pingyang, and the dragon is in shallow water.It was the most difficult period in that person's life. If the Zhi Gong Dang appeared in a timely manner, subdued this person, and supported it, it would expand the influence of the Zhi Gong Dang in the south, and perhaps it would change the fate of many people.

Although Situ Nan never thought of pinning his hopes on an ethereal politician, he still had expectations and couldn't help but provide He Wenxiu with information about Li Zongren and others.

Fortunately for me, it doesn't hurt to have it.Whether there is fate depends on the will of God.Situ Nan sighed.Now that the seeds have been sown, his trip to Medan has come to an end.…

Time turned to 1919, and finally paused slightly, and there were two small watersheds in the history of the Chinese nation.One was the Paris Peace Conference not long ago. A tragic defeat stung many people and awakened more people, thus starting to explore ways to make the country rich and strong.

Another watershed is in Nanyang. An organization called Zhigongdang tried to change the oppressed situation of the Chinese in Nanyang with its own power, so that the branches of the Han nationality smashed a bloody path in the desolation and danger.

The wheels of history are rolling forward. Everyone deserves to follow its ass. People who try to be a car with a manly arm will eventually be crushed by the huge wheels.When there is no power to dress history as a bitch, it is best to follow the bitch's fat ass.

Situ Nan slipped around Medan and returned to Penang, returning from a political conspirator to his original role as a businessman.

At this time, Penang was more lively, and many powerful people came.They are all Chinese and overseas Chinese. More specifically, they are the leaders of Chinese businessmen in the world.

Now Li Yuanshan's attitude towards Situ Nan is even more polite. He leads Situ Nan to the front of a luxurious building with two huge stone lions at the door.

"That is the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Apart from the Governor's Mansion, Georgetown is the most magnificent here." Li Yuanshan pointed to the Penang Chinese Chamber of Commerce proudly.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a very large organization of chambers of commerce, not only in Penang, but also in major cities in Southeast Asia such as Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, Jakarta, Semarang, and Manila.The leaders of the Chamber of Commerce are mostly Chinese rich in Nanyang.

For example, Zhang Bishi, the richest man in Nanyang who died not long ago, the Rockefeller City in China, and Lu You, the city of Nanyang financial talents, both died in the past two years.But the Zhang family in Penang and the Lu family in Singapore are still one of the most powerful Chinese families in Nanyang.

In addition to the Zhang Bishi and Lu You family, the Nanyang sugar king Huang Zhonghan, Malayan tin mining king Hu Guolian, rubber king Tan Kah Kee, the Philippines forestry king Li Qingquan, Wanjin oil king Hu Wenhu and other merchants gathered in Penang, and the lineup was unprecedentedly strong.

With the support of American Chinese Bank, Lee Tin Company has developed rapidly and has occupied 60% of Penang's tin market through several beautiful mergers and acquisitions.This is far from enough. In addition to Penang, Lee Tin Company's investment in Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur and other places is also gradually being implemented.This caused a sensation among Chinese businessmen.They did not expect that the Li family, which has always been low-key, suddenly broke out, showing strong ambitions for the tin mining industry.Some people even predict that the Li family may become a new generation of tin kings.

The status of Li Yuanshan has also improved. The Li family has become a world-class family of Nanyang Chinese from a second-rate family.Li Yuanshan shook with everyone's compliments.Everyone was a little puzzled that he brought Situ Nan, a tall, somewhat Western-looking young man.

According to Situ Nan and Li Yuanshan's advance, the better, Li Yuanshan did not expose Situ Nan's identity, but simply said that Situ Nan was a businessman from the United States.

When Li Yuanshan and Situ Nan walked to the inner hall, a man dressed up in a suit and glasses smiled and greeted him with a smile. The man waved his hand and said: "I haven't seen you in a few years, Brother Li is in a prosperous business!"

"Thank you! Brother Chen! Who didn't know Brother Chen is now the famous rubber king in Malaya! I was thinking about a rubber business and want to cooperate with you?"

"Chen Kah Kee?" Situ Nan felt that the man in front of him was familiar, so he couldn't help asking.

Chapter 40

Tan Kah Kee?"Situ Nan felt that the man in front of him was familiar, and couldn't help asking.

"I am. Excuse me?" Chen Kah Kee looked at Situ Nan curiously. He had been mainly to the young man next to Li Yuanshan a long time ago.

Compared with the surrounding guests of a certain age, the young and tall Situ Nan is a bit out of the ordinary, and he can't think of not being noticed by others.

"Situ Nan, an American businessman, or can you call Stoneney? William. Hello, Mr. Chen, I have always wanted to know you, and today I finally got my wish." Situ Nan said sincerely.

Tan Kah Kee has always been the object of Situ Nan's admiration. Not only is he successful in business, but he also has a heart of innocence. In the history that Situ Nan knows well in his previous life, Tan Kah Kee spared no effort to resist Japan and save the country. This style is really admirable.Tan Kah Kee is not only a businessman, but also a monument.

"Hello! Mr. Situ." Chen Kah Kee had a good impression of Situ Nan. Although it was only the first time I met, he instinctively told him that this young man deserves a visit, especially his bright eyes are clear and introverted, and he should have good cultivation. Treacherous.

The first time I met Situ Nan, he left a deep impression on Tan Kah Kee. Tan Kah Kee saw people in his own way, and he felt that the youth in front of him was not simple.

"Haha! Brother Chen, don’t think Mr. Situ is young, but his achievements are far beyond ours. The luxurious cruise ship anchored in the port belongs to Mr. Situ. He just came from Europe. This time our Li family opened a tin company. Mr. Situ."

Li Yuanshan interrupted.After Li Renqiao returned from Medan, he told Li Yuanshan some secrets in the Zhigong Party.From Li Renqiao's mouth, Li Yuanshan knew that the Meihua Company he had always admired was originally only a corner of Situ Nan's property, so he was more respectful of Situ Nan and had a tendency to completely turn to the Zhi Gong Party.

"Oh? The boat originally belonged to Mr. Situ, I didn't expect it." Chen Kah Kee was surprised.When he landed ashore the day before yesterday, he glanced at the William in the port and was flashed by William's appearance.He doesn't like luxury, but he understands the status symbol of this big young man before the luxurious William.

"Uncle Li passed the award. I was lucky and made some money. There are still many things to learn from your old predecessors. By the way, you just call me Anan. The old name is Mr. Situ too much. Chen. Sir, can I call you Uncle Chen?" Situ Nan said modestly.

Situ Nan's attitude made Li Yuanshan and Tan Kah Kee very useful. Tan Kah Kee smiled heartily: "Of course. Anan, it's really scary for the younger generation!"

Tan Kah Kee wanted to talk to Situ Nanpan, but found that apart from knowing that the other party was very rich, he didn't know Situ Nan at all.So he turned to Li Yuanshan, "Brother Li, I heard that you are going to organize a tin industry guild? Don't forget me about this good thing. I also have a tin mine in Kuala Lumpur. I hope Brother Li will take care of you."

"It's easy to talk. Today I want to take this opportunity to ventilate with the big guys. More than half of the tin industry in Malaya is in the hands of us Chinese, but it happened that the British made a lot of money. We can only make money behind others. Hard money. This is not good. We have to unite and form an adult, otherwise, even if we are not defeated by the British, we will only be left with the leftovers that they eat after them."

Li Yuanshan said excitedly that he is supported by the powerful Chinese American consortium, and he is confident to have a place in the tin industry in Malaya.
