The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 293

Under the pressure of reality, Huang Zhonghan still chose to move closer to the Zhigong Party, preparing to release the anti-Dutch and Indian authorities.Historically, under the oppression and exploitation of the Dutch and Indian authorities, Huang Zhonghan could only choose to transfer his assets. He personally immigrated to Singapore, and Jianyuan's business in Nanyang slowly broke through.

Situ Nan has been from Huang Zhonghan to many unknown secrets, especially Huang Zhonghan has long served as an official in the government of Jakarta and other places. He has a good understanding of the situation of the Dutch and Indian colonial authorities. Through the Huang family, he has sent to the intelligence department of the Gong party to collect the Dutch and Indian The colonial government is even easier.

Of course, Situ Nan doesn't need Huang Zhonghan to stand up blatantly, but only needs to use the Huang family's network of connections to allow the Zhi Gong Party to penetrate Java.The Huang family is not comparable to ordinary people in Java, and the family has a big business, and has a good relationship with the Chinese family in Java.

The fact that Huang Jia can stand on the side of Zhi Gong Party is to a certain extent that some Chinese families are moving closer to Zhi Gong Party.The oppression and exploitation of the Chinese by the Dutch and Indian authorities was not limited to Huang Zhonghan's family. Except for some scum, most Chinese hated the Dutch to death. Therefore, the infiltration of the Chinese Communist Party in Java was very smooth, especially for those young people who determined their national consciousness. Participate in military training secretly.

In order to control the situation in Java, He Wenxiu sent some people from the security company into Huang Zhonghan's factories and farms in the name of bodyguards to organize workers to conduct some basic military training.These militias may not be able to fight, but if they start to fight, they can protect the Chinese industry, resist the Dutch accomplices-the indigenous people, and buy time for the Chinese army.

The native soldiers lacked training, there was no Dutch to support them, not even farts.After the Chinese army defeated the Dutch, it would naturally liquidate the indigenous people who helped the abusers.

The joining of Huang Zhonghan greatly encouraged the Zhi Gong Party’s senior management, and the support of the Huang family will greatly promote the Zhi Gong Party’s liberation of Java. These are all foreseeable.

After Huang Zhonghan expressed his position, Situ Nan thought it necessary to cooperate with the Huang family in all aspects.Huang Zhonghan himself is a big capitalist combining sugar industry king, shipping giant, and banker. His Jianyuan company has assets of more than 200 million guilders (about 70 million US dollars) and is fully capable of becoming an ally of the United States and China.

Situ Nan intends to cooperate with Huang Zhonghan in the shipping and banking industry. He shouted to Huang Zhong: "Uncle Huang, for a long time in the future, prosperous trade will promote the development of Nanyang shipping industry. Meihua has taken action and prepared Build a shipyard in Medan with two to three thousand tons for shipping between the South Sea islands. At the same time, the shipping companies under Meihua will also introduce large freighters from the US shipyards for international trade transportation. This is a big cake. I hope your shipping companies and shipping bureaus can join in. Our competitors are not only the traditional and powerful British shipping companies in Europe, but also the rising Japanese shipping companies. This is a big capital competition. If we cannot unite and consolidate our efforts, we will not be able to compete with those large foreign companies."

Situ Nan suggested.

Huang Zhonghan nodded, but Meihua's shipping company is larger than Huang Zhonghan's. Wouldn't it be annexed by the other party to join Meihua?Huang Zhonghan, who has always liked dominance, hesitated.

"Uncle Huang, this is a good opportunity for you. Don't be afraid that I will fall in love with your shipping company. To be honest, I also invest a lot in shipping, but my main business is in the United States. The shipping business of China is only a small part of my consortium. If it doesn’t work, you can find out about the California Shipping Company and the White Star Company."

Situ Nan went on to say, "In Nanyang, there are not many people who can hold the lead. You are one of them, Uncle Huang. I hope that the Chinese shipping industry in Nanyang can develop in your hands and become a worldwide shipping force."

"Your consciousness is to let me take care of the shipping company? What about you?" Huang Zhonghan looked at Situ Nan with some surprise.

"Me? I'm busy with other things. I'm just taking the lead in the affairs here in Nanyang. I really don't have time to take care of it. My business is in the United States. I invest in steel, oil, banking, automobiles, and real estate. Important point. Nanyang is not the focus of the William Consortium’s investment. It is just my personal wish and the responsibility of one China. Apart from that, there is really not much that can be done for the country and the nation. Therefore, I hope that you and the Huang family can help The Chinese in Nanyang take on more responsibilities independently. Even if it fails, I promise to let the Huang family rise again. This is my promise!"

Situ Nan said the burning words.Seeing Situ Nan's strong self-confidence, Huang Zhonghan couldn't help but nodded and agreed.

He found that he did not know Situ Nan again. Although the two had talked frankly about Meihua Company and Zhi Gong Dang, Situ Nan mentioned for the first time that there was a more scary consortium behind Meihua.

While Situ Nan gave Huang Zhonghan great confidence, it also stimulated the old man's strong curiosity.

Chapter 55 Southern Star Shipping Company

Under Situ Nan’s persuasion, Huang Zhonghan decided to merge the shipping business of Huang’s family with the shipping business of Meihua Company to form a new shipping company, Southern Star Shipping Company.

The new company is headquartered in Singapore with a registered capital of 5 million U.S. dollars, of which Meihua Company owns 40% of the shares and Huang Zhonghan owns 20% of the shares. Except for 8% of the shares left by the original Meihua Shipping Company’s senior executives, the remaining shares Under Situ Nan’s suggestion, Huang Zhonghan prepared to make a public offer to Nanyang Chinese Businessmen.

"My old bones are sold to you." Huang Zhonghan smiled at Situ Nandao, who will be the chairman of the board of directors of the new company."Uncle Huang, isn't the company owned by your Huang family? I'm relieved to have you there."

Situ Nan smiled. As for how to run the Southern Star Shipping Company, he has his own ideas and said to Huang Zhonghan: "However, you are responsible for so many things. It is best to find a good helper. After all, you must pay attention to maintenance when you are old. , Isn’t the grandson graduating soon? Let him help!"

"He, is he still tender?" Huang Zhonghan smiled, "What? Look down on my old bone?"

The eldest son Situ Nan just mentioned is Huang Zhonghan's eldest son Huang Zongxuan, who is said to have returned from studying in the United States in a few months.

"No. Uncle Huang, you are always strong, but you are a big fan of Nanyang Chinese businessmen! Who dares to look down on you? I expect you to show off. If you have anything to say to Medan, if anyone comes to Yin, we have to respond. he."

Situ Nan exhorted.

He established the Southern Star Shipping Company to expand the fleet, and he also planned to prepare for the Chinese to cultivate maritime power.Britain has dominated the world for a century, but the foundation of the Royal Navy's invincible reputation is Britain's developed shipbuilding industry and countless well-trained captains and crews.

If there is no high-quality crew, even if Stuart obtains more advanced warships from the United States, the future Chinese national navy will not be able to use it. What use is it?

"I remember. If anyone provokes your kid, it will have a headache." Huang Zhonghan nodded and increased his confidence.He knew that the group of people on Sumatra could not be exposed, but how hard was it to sap?

Earlier, Huang Zhonghan vaguely heard that there were fewer pirates in the Malacca Strait. Later, after learning about the Zhi Gong Party, he realized that it was those people who did the trick.

In order to strengthen the strength of Southern Star Shipping Company and compete for the international shipping market, Situ Nan asked California Shipping Company to transfer 3 10,000-ton ships to Southern Star Shipping Company. Those ships were previously bought by Situ Nan at low prices from German ship owners. After sinking two in the First World War, there are still 7 or 8 ships. Although they are a bit old, they are more practical. They are not suitable for a shipping company that is suitable for Nanxing, which is not too rich in funds.

After the California Navy has eliminated several old ships, it can free up funds to order more advanced and larger ships from Bethlehem or Francis Shipyard.

The situation of Bethlehem is not so good now. After losing a large number of government orders, the size of the shipyard is gradually shrinking.It is best to be able to use new orders to improve the shipyard's technology.In addition to Medan, Situ Nan also plans to move the shipbuilding equipment that Bethlehem has eliminated to the Philippines and start testing a 5,000-ton shipbuilding project.

As early as a few years ago, Meihua Company began to build a 100,000-ton steel plant in the Philippines. Although the technology is quite advanced, the steel produced is well sold in Nanyang.After all, there is no iron and steel industry in Nanyang, and most of the machines need to be imported from Europe or the United States, so the life of Meihua's small steel plant in the Philippines is still prosperous.

Huang Zhonghan was surprised at this, "Why haven't I heard of that steel plant? We can do many things with a steel plant." Huang Zhonghan looked at Situ Nan with some excitement.

"You can do a lot of things. Unfortunately, the output is too small." Situ Nan said lightly.

If Nanyang is independent now, he is confident to build a steel plant with an annual output of one million tons in ten years.Although Nanyang lacks high-quality iron ore, nearby Western Australia is rich in iron ore, but lacks a suitable environment.Situ Nan has secretly excluded geologists from going to Australia for investigation, and I believe it will not take long to receive good news.

"Not so much? I heard that the Japanese steel production is only over 800,000 tons? Your factory in the Philippines accounts for one-eighth of the Japanese steel production!" Huang Zhonghan said grimly.

"It can't be compared. Even if Japan is an island country with scarce resources, it can only rely on imports. Their transport capacity is not as abundant as the British. However, after the Romanov dynasty went bankrupt, Russia fell into civil strife, and the Japanese are now in China. The Northeast is the dominant one. In order to contain the Soviet Union, Britain, the United States and France and other countries all acquiesce that Japan regards the Northeast as its own range of strength. Once Japan completes their deployment in Northeast China, steel production will increase significantly and national power will also expand. Isn't it difficult to invade China directly?" Situ Nan said.This is the last thing he wants to see.

"How powerful are the Japanese? Do they have such strength?" Huang Zhonghan shook his head, not believing that the Western world would allow the Japanese to monopolize China.

"I'm talking about ten years, twenty years later, who can guarantee the wolf's ambition? But there is a good saying that steel is the country. We must complete the layout in Nanyang as soon as possible and expand our strength to drive off the Dutch. Only when we are the masters can we have the opportunity to build the national steel industry. With the steel industry, we can make our voice heard, and when China falls, it can prop up a sky in Southeast Asia."

Having said that, Situ Nan, a little impatient, can't wait to get out of the Dutchman right away, and then help the American steel factory to Nanyang, and then wait for the devil to die in Nanyang, and finally drive the devil into 18 hells.

Huang Zhonghan nodded, some of them understand why Situ Nan invested in a shipyard in Medan and opened a machinery factory in the Philippines, all with the purpose of training troops and cultivating technical forces for future national construction.

"Then we should increase the investment in the steel plant in the Philippines, preferably to three to five million." Huang Zhiyuan naturally understands the meaning of steel, he said excitedly, "When the time comes, we will build guns and cannons, and use the weapons we produced to teach us. The Dutch and those indigenous people."

"No, no more." Situ Nan shook his head slightly. Although the Philippines is rich in resources, mining is not easy, and Meihua's steel plants in the Philippines will not grow by leaps and bounds for a long time to come.Recently, Meihua's stalls have been well laid out, and there are not too many resources used in the steel plants in the Philippines.

Neither Situ Nan nor others in the Zhi Gong Party want to spend precious resources on the Philippines.Most of Meihua’s investments in Nanyang are light industries with quick results. If we want to develop civil engineering and make the Great Leap Forward, we have to wait a few years....

Compared with most wealthy Chinese people who are thrifty and housekeeping, Huang Zhonghan is more modern. His favorite is to make money desperately, and then desperately spend money to enjoy the best things, so her number of women is also scary.

He liked the William very much, touched the William, and said to Situ Nan enviously, "This cruise ship is so beautiful. I stayed for two days and didn't want to leave."

"Haha. Uncle Huang, you are enough to attract the hatred of the Dutch now. If you own such a luxurious cruise ship, wouldn't you let them exploit you more unscrupulously? Let's bear with them for a few years. Then we will succeed, I Just send you one." Situ Nan said generously.

"Really?" Huang Zhonghan looked at Situ Nan expectantly.The William is really too cool, and it is estimated that it will greatly satisfy Huang Zhonghan's vanity.Obviously, although the richest man in Southeast Asia is rich, he is still a Dutchman, and his pride has been hurt.

After watching Situ Nan nod his head, Huang Zhonghan smiled happily: "I really don't want to pay for it! Or, I will mate the Cymbidium to you."

"Don't! Uncle Huang let me go! I don't want to hurt people. Laura knows this, I must die tonight." Situ Nan quickly rejected Huang Zhonghan.

"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The most important thing is to have the ability. Although Huilan is a bit wronged by marrying you, but your ability does not eliminate her." Huang Zhonghan looked at Situ Nan expectantly.

This old sex stick is crazy!Situ Nan cursed inwardly, shook his head sternly, but refused to agree.

Seeing Situ Nan's resolute expression, Huang Zhonghan tried a little bit and stopped chasing Situ Nan.With a trace of regret, he walked off the William and began to rush for the Southern Star Shipping Company.

There are many wealthy Chinese businessmen in Singapore, and Huang Zhonghan is confident that he will successfully complete the first IPO of Southern Star Shipping Company.

Huang Zhonghan left. He left Huang Zongxiao's hope for the future. Huang Zongxiao will follow the William to study in the United States.

Seeing Huang Zhonghan's departure, Huang Zongxiao's eyes were moist, because he could not go back to Nanyang until he had achieved success in his studies.

"Your father has high expectations of you. Although he is usually very strict with you, don't let him down." Situ Nan walked over and patted Huang Zongxiao's immature shoulder.
