The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 289

"Of course. This loan is interest-free. In addition, on behalf of Meihua Company, I will order another 1 million medicines from Yong'an Pharmacy. Do you think this is okay?" Situ Nan said sincerely.In his mind, Hu Wenhu is far more than 1 million.

Fearing that Hu Wenhu wouldn't believe it, Situ Nan took out the book, signed a huge cheque and handed it over.

Looking at the check in front of him that had not dried ink, it was genuinely flickering. Hu Wenhu finally realized that the sky was really falling. He was stunned for a few seconds and looked at Situ Nan somewhat stupidly.

"What? Give some reaction? Too little?" Situ Nan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Hu Wenhu, and then took out the checkbook into his pocket.

"Enough, enough!" Hu Wenhu reacted with a long sigh of relief, holding Situ Nan's hand excitedly.

"Brother, you... are such a good person! I don't know what to say, anyway, my brother remembered! I will definitely return it to you as soon as possible." Hu Wenhu vowed.With the gift of Situ Nan, Yong'an Medicine Hall can expand to Malaya, and then the whole of Nanyang, Asia, and realize its ideal of good medicine.

"Hu Ge’s friendship is to know the heart. I have a relationship with Hu Ge. There is no reason to not help. I don’t need to rush to change money. I don’t need this money. I continue to invest in Hu Biao’s medicine. Isn’t it better to treat illness and rescue?" Situ Nan waved his hand and suggested Hu Wenhu, "The Myanmar market is limited, Hu Ge, you might as well move to Singapore! Where is the factory? I have a good location, across the sea from Malacca. Medan is pretty good. Some of Meihua’s manufacturing plants are concentrated there, and the raw materials and equipment are also convenient."

"Okay, I'll take some time to go to Medan and see if the situation is right, just as you say." Hu Wenhu said.

"By the way, Hu Ge, do you like newspapers?" Situ Nan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Newspaper? It's okay. I often read newspapers and learn a lot from it. But I haven't stayed in foreign countries, and those foreign-language newspapers can't be read. When I remembered, I also co-organized a newspaper with a friend in Yangon, It's called "Rangoon Daily". After having "Rangoon Daily", I have a Chinese newspaper in Myanmar, and I don't need to read foreigner's newspapers. Haha" Hu Wenhu smiled contentedly.

"Why do you ask? Do you want to open a newspaper?" Hu Wenhu asked.

"I'm interested. I want a copy of an influential Chinese newspaper in Nanyang to promote Chinese culture, encourage Chinese to become independent and self-reliant, and become the mouthpiece of Nanyang Chinese." Situ Nandao, looking at Hu Wenhu, "but I haven't found a suitable one. Candidate, since Hu Ge, you have experience in this area, it’s not as good as you..."

"No, no, no, this can't be done. Although I have intentions, I have to be busy with Yong'an Medicine Hall, brother, let me go!" Hu Wenhu was a little afraid of Situ Nan's trust in him, he thought about it, Xiang Situ Nan Recommend someone.

"That's okay!" Situ Nan looked at Hu Wenhu. It was a pity, Xin said, Hu Ge, you gave up the opportunity of newspaper giants. In the future, Sing Tao Daily, Star Light Daily, and Xing Min Daily may not have yours. That's it.

Chapter 50

Li Guangqian walked to Tan Kah Kee's room, hesitated for a moment, and walked in.

"Boss, I want to talk to him about something." Li Guangqian walked to Tan Kah Kee and said.

"It just so happens that I also want to discuss something with you. However, wait a while and wait until I process this document." Tan Kah Kee motioned to Li Guangqian to sit down and buried his head again.

Li Guangqian sat quietly, looking at the familiar office, he couldn't help but think of the little things he had worked with his boss over the years, and he felt a little nostalgic.

After a while, Tan Kah Kee raised his head, closed the documents, and looked at some Li Guangqian with a smile.Smart, diligent, upright, and talented, this kid is really good.Over the years, I have helped the company a lot. Now that he is not young, it is time to give him a marriage.

"Guangqian." Tan Kah Kee called Li Guangqian, but Li Guangqian did not respond. He lowered his head, Toza's cheeks, not knowing what he was thinking.

What might be worrying about this child?Tan Kah Kee thought to himself, and called Li Guangqian again.

"Oh, Mr. Chen, what's the matter?" Li Guangqian returned to his senses and looked at Chen Kah Kee blankly.

"There is something to talk about." Tan Kah Kee smiled slightly, got up and walked over, sitting opposite Li Guangqian, with an unspeakable attitude, and asked: "Last time Situ Nan reminded you that you are not young and you should get married. It’s twenty-six this year, right?"

"Twenty-seven." Li Guangqian replied honestly, a sudden heart, waiting for Chen Kah Kee to follow.

"As for you, I can be regarded as destined. In the past few years, I have regarded you as a family member, and I can trust you. You see, this year I have eighteen love gifts, I am knowledgeable, and I have gone to school, and You are also a good match. If you don't object, I will marry you with her." Tan Kah Kee smiled and looked at Li Guangqian. It would be great if he could recruit such a good son-in-law.

Although Li Guangqian had thoughts like this before, his mind has faded a lot since he made that decision.Now that he heard Chen Kah Kee say this, he felt a little guilty. Tan Kah Kee was so kind to himself that he didn't know what to say.

Li Guangqian's silence surprised Chen Kah Kee. He looked a little ugly and asked sternly: "Why, isn't it good to love her? You don't like her?"

"No! Ai Li is very nice, I like it. It's just..." Li Guangqian looked at Chen Kah Kee embarrassedly, somewhat unspeakable.

"Just what? Tell me, and see if I can help you." Chen Kah Kee's expression softened slightly, and he looked at Li Guangqian puzzled.

Under Tan Kah Kee's gaze, Li Guangqian hesitated and said with courage: "Mr. Chen, I am going to leave the company and go to work at American China Bank. I can no longer serve you."

silence.

Tan Kah Kee looked at Li Guangqian complicatedly, with regret, heartache, anger in his eyes... He did not expect that his assistant who was about to be responsible would suddenly leave him. Did he want to betroth his daughter to him just now?This enthusiasm was met with cold water at once, and no one felt comfortable.

Li Guangqian was a little afraid of Tan Kah Kee's eyes and tried to escape several times, but he chose to face it frankly.

After a while, Tan Kah Kee's mood finally calmed down. He sighed faintly, and said, "Tell me, what's going on? Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?"

"This happened a few days ago. On the William, when you were going to talk to Miss Laura about school education, I ran into Situ Nan on the deck. He told me that Meihua Company wanted to integrate Malayan tin industry. As for the rubber industry, America and China Bank needs a person to be responsible for investment in the rubber and tin industry. He wanted to hire me as the vice president of the Nanyang branch of America and China Bank. I didn’t agree at first, although I have always been interested in the banking industry. But I knew that my ability was not enough to be the vice president of the Nanyang branch of American China Bank, so I rejected him." Li Guangqian said.

"Hmm. Although I don't know why he valued you so much, it is worth knowing that you have the right choice. American China Bank is a big bank. If you rush to such a high position, you may fall and fight." Tan Kah Kee admired. Looking at Li Guangqian, "Then why are you leaving the company?" He asked again.

"Because Situ Nan didn't give up. He said that I can not accept the position of deputy general manager of the Nanyang branch, but I can be a lower-level investment manager, specifically responsible for the investment of American and Chinese Bank in the rubber industry, and he also gave me a lot of Permission. After thinking about it, I feel that I have a better understanding of the rubber industry. If I can be responsible for rubber matters, it should be a good opportunity, so I want to try it."

Li Guangqian looked at Tan Kah Kee calmly.I didn’t say a word in my heart. If I go to American and Chinese Bank and perform well, not only will I get better treatment, but I may also get some shares of American and Chinese Bank in the future and stay in Qianyi Company as a son-in-law. , No matter how good he is, he is still an outsider after all.

Looking at Li Guangqian's firm and calm eyes, it was a pity that Tan Kah Kee knew that Li Guangqian had made up his mind to leave Qianyi Company.He couldn't help asking about the treatment offered to Li Guangqian by American China Bank, and Li Guangqian answered them one by one.

"American China Bank is indeed a rare opportunity. In all fairness, it may be better than if you stay in Qianyi Company. Since their big boss Situ Nan personally invited you, it means that you really value you, do it! Let me down." Tan Kah Kee patted Li Guangqian on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Mr. Chen, don't you blame me?" Li Guangqian looked at Chen Kah Kee in surprise, how to say, his behavior was a bit ungrateful, if it weren't for Chen Kah Kee's training, how would he not be today.

"Blame? What's to blame. You didn't do anything wrong? It's normal for people to go high. I'm happy for you as you have a better future. Why should I blame you? And you are from Qianyi Company. Is it mine who went out? Maybe I still rely on your care? You are my big benefactor." Tan Kah Kee smiled.

Although Li Guangqian has left Qianyi Company, it does not mean that Tan Kah Kee will not associate with Li Guangqian anymore. On the contrary, Tan Kah Kee, who has just signed a cooperation agreement with Meihua Company, needs Meihua’s funds to develop his own rubber kingdom, and is responsible for Meihua. Isn't it Li Guangqian who invested in China Bank Rubber?

It's just that in the future, he will treat his former subordinates equally. Tan Kah Kee sighed, and he was open-minded to accept this fact.Moreover, with the ally of Li Guangqian, Tan Kah Kee believes that his Qian Yi company's financial difficulties can also be resolved.

"Thank you! Mr. Chen! I really don't know how to put it right." There was a tear in Li Guangqian's eyes, thinking that he must repay Chen Kah Kee for everything he has done to him if he has a chance in the future.

"Thank you, I'm all in the family, and I'm so polite." Chen Kah Kee smiled and patted Li Guangqian on the shoulder, and said to his heart, this is also good.

"Ah? Are you still letting Ai Li marry me?" Li Guangqian said overjoyed, his eyes lit up and tears quietly overflowed his eyes.He did not think that Tan Kah Kee was so generous and even married his daughter to himself.

"My husband counts, don’t you tell me what to say? It’s cheaper for you. That’s how it’s done to love ceremony!" Tan Kah Kee said that it was too cheap. Li Guangqian felt a little unhappy, and he grimaced. Said, "Although I don't like luxury, I can't be shabby when I marry a daughter, Tan Kah Kee must be graceful. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will do it well, otherwise I will be a little wronged by politeness." Li Guangqian quickly patted his chest in front of the old man.

After receiving Tan Kah Kee's consent, Li Guangqian left Qian Yi Company excitedly.Looking at the back of Li Guang going away, Tan Kah Kee felt a little emotional, but the result was a bit unexpected and reasonable.

Perhaps, no matter how good he is, his surname is Li instead of Chen. The ambitious Li Guangqian hopes to start his own business more!Thinking of this, Tan Kah Kee seemed to understand something.

He shook his head, returned home, and announced the news to his family. Since his eldest daughter Chen Aili and Li Guangqian had a good relationship with each other, it was natural that this had already been done.

Situ Nan was complained by Tan Kah Kee, saying that he was unrighteous and secretly poached the best talents of Qianyi Company.

However, Situ Nan was happy when he heard it, thinking about Tan Kah Kee's son-in-law and Li Guangweng, and the two rubber lords who had both entered the house, he was indescribably proud.He triumphantly told Tan Kah Kee that he wanted to give a big gift to the newlyweds.

In order to complete the layout of the rubber industry chain as soon as possible, Situ Nan ordered Robes of the United States to acquire Goodyear Tire Company, the largest tire manufacturer in the United States.

Andrew Mellon was also very interested in this acquisition. When he learned that Situ Nan had already controlled a large part of the rubber plantation industry in Nanyang, he immediately realized the business opportunities, so the Mellon family also joined the acquisition of Goodyear Tire. Ranks.

Taking into account the influence of the Mellon family, Situ Nan also agreed to cooperate with the Mellon family again to control the Goodyear Tire Company together.

In addition to planting rubber trees, the use of chemical methods to synthesize rubber is also a major trend.Feeling this, Situ Nan then gave the giant an order to study synthetic rubber technology.This is not to mention.

Hu Maoqing went to Medan secretly, and returned to carefully report to Hu Guolian what he saw and asked about Medan.
