The journey starts from the Titanic

"Yeah." Huang Zongxiao nodded, but the young man is lively in the end. He wants to escape Huang Zhonghan's clutches, and doesn't have to cower like his natural enemy. Huang Zongxiao immediately jumped up in his heart, and everything on the William was let go. He was moved and satisfied.Enjoying freely is much more comfortable than at home.

But Situ Nan's words immediately poured cold water on Huang Zongxiao.

"From tomorrow on, you will live with the crew, serve the same as the crew, train, learn English and other knowledge until the United States. I will send someone to supervise you." Situ Nan said blankly.

"Why? How could you do this?" Huang Zongxiao looked at Situ Nan angrily, not understanding why Situ Nan, who he had always liked, would give him such treatment.

"Because I am the biggest here! If you really want to ask anything, it's that I can't get used to your young master temperament. If you don't get rid of your young master temperament and don't suffer a bit, you won't grow up, and you won't be able to inherit pornography. Family business. Don’t look at the beautiful scenery of your Huang family, think about why your father moved from Java to Singapore!"

Situ Nan left without looking back.He believed that the idle and boring bodyguards on the ship would practice Huang Zongxiao hard.

Chapter 56 Smoke, Smokey Cigarettes

Situ Nan was harsh on Huang Zongxiao for a reason. He knew that if history did not change, Huang Zhonghan would die in five or six years, and the Huang family’s successor would not succeed, and the family business would eventually be destroyed.

Although Situ Nan is confident to change the history of Southeast Asia, the Huang family did not receive the suppression and exploitation by the Dutch and Indian colonial government, and may not decline, but the descendants of the Huang family are still as mediocre as in history, and Jianyuan Company has not established a perfect career. Under the managerial system, they will eventually be eliminated in the fierce market competition.

Before Huang Zhonghan left, he said to Situ Nan, "I will close the Huang family's opium within a year, change it into a pharmacy, and donate to build a hospital. It's an atonement for me!"

These words moved Situ Nan, and Huang Zhonghan would lose millions for this, although he might improve his image and please Situ Nan and the senior leaders of the Zhi Gong Party.

The conversion of an opium shop into a pharmacy requires not only capital but also sufficient supply.This matter is not difficult. Under the guidance of Situ Nan, Huang Zhonghan’s Huang’s Pharmaceutical Company can purchase various medicines from Hu Wenhu’s Yong’an Pharmacy, Guangzhou’s Baiyunshan Pharmaceutical Factory and even the American Giant Company. Huang's Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. can obtain sufficient supplies for the heat-clearing and detoxifying Banlangen and even the tightly sold sulfonamides, so the business is slowly getting better.

Huang Zhonghan's transformation has changed Situ Nan's impression of the Huang family a lot, and he has become a little bit more concerned about the Huang family.

In all fairness, opium is both a drug and a medicine. Morphine extracted from opium can be used to calm pain and is a must for trauma first aid.

The transformation of Huangjia Tobacco Museum will not change the flood of opium in Indonesia. A major tax source of the Dutch-Indian colonial government is obtained from the auction of opium franchise, and they will naturally not give up the opium market.It is a pity that in Nanyang, besides the natives, there are many Chinese people who smoke opium. Many real people bankrupt their families because they smoked opium. And those Chinese workers who have crossed the ocean are tempted by others. The little hard-earned money earned by his hard work was soaked up, and in the end he could only become a hard worker for an unscrupulous boss.

Meihua Company extremely rejects opium, because it not only consumes Meihua's resources, but also corrodes people's spirit. Therefore, in Meihua's enterprises or farms, opium is a rule of heaven, and employees who smoke opium are never allowed.

And those merchants who provide opium to workers will also be brutally suppressed by Meihua Company. This has long been recognized within the Zhi Gong Party.One of the reasons for the conflict between Meihua Company and Anliangtang was opium.

Since he decided to join the Zhi Gong Party, Huang Zhonghan deliberately followed Lin Zexu's Humen burning cigarettes. He wanted to burn all the opium, but Situ Nan stopped him.

"This is just a cure for the symptoms, not the root cause. We need funds now. It is a pity to destroy those opium in vain. We can use opium to make medicine." Situ Nan explained to Huang Zhonghan that, in fact, opium can be used to refine morphine and other useful medicines. Medicine.

Under Situ Nan's dissuasion, Huang Zhonghan decided to seal up the stock of opium and transport it to a secret base in Medan to produce morphine in preparation for future first aid supplies.

As for the heroin extracted from opium, Situ Nan did not dare to mention it.

Meihua has plenty of opportunities to make money, so it does not need to rely on drug production to make a profit.Giant has obtained a lot of chemical technology from BASF in Germany, and it is not difficult to produce heroin, but Situ Nan does not want to turn Nanyang into a golden triangle in the previous life. There is a flood of white powder everywhere, so Meihua bought it from Huang Zhonghan. Most opium is used to make morphine.

This has formed an interesting situation. Although Huang Zhonghan has changed his opium business, he still buys a lot of opium every year, and then sends them to the chemical factory in Medan. After preliminary refining, they are shipped to the American Giant Company for fine processing. The legally sold analgesic and anesthetic drugs such as morphine and headache powder have been profitable.

With its excellent performance in the Spanish flu, Giant easily passed the US Food and Drug Administration's license to produce and sell morphine. Therefore, in addition to producing sulfa, Giant also began to produce morphine on a large scale.

In World War I, a large number of American soldiers were traumatized by the war and had to rely on narcotic drugs. Therefore, morphine has broad potential in the American market.

In short, morphine is on fire. Although it is not as magical as Coca-Cola, from a therapeutic drug to a world-famous beverage, the emergence of morphine is also a product of the giant's diversified operations.

When Situ Nan was still in Singapore, he issued an order to the United States to liquidate the assets of the Giant Company in preparation for the separation of the Giant Company a few months later.

Huang Zhonghan was very emotional about this. He once again saw Situ Nan's ability to turn negative opium into a good medicine, which not only made a lot of profits but also won a good reputation....

heat!The heat is rolling.The surface temperature is as high as forty degrees. Walking on the street, you can feel the heat on the soles of your feet, like stepping on red-hot carbon.

People are already sweating without walking a few steps.The scorching heat close to the equator makes people afraid to engage in unrestrained activities during the day, and naturally there are not many people on the street.A car swiftly passed, heading for the port.

Although sitting in a car is not as uncomfortable as walking lightly on the street, Jian Zhaonan's mood is like an ant on a hot pot.The thought of Nanyang Tobacco Company would be ruined if they didn't get an emergency fund, and the hard work of their two brothers over the years would be wasted.

Jian Zhaonan rushed to Singapore from Medan, and the person he was looking for was on the William.When the car arrived at the dock, Jian Zhao got off the car south, took a deep breath, calmed down, and got on the William.

Situ Nan hid in the shady cabin and sighed with Yao Hongmin about the Minas oil field in Sumatra.As expected by Situ Nan, Occidental Petroleum's success in the Minas Oilfield really stimulated the Dutch. Shell Oil Corporation repeatedly proposed to participate in oilfield development projects, but Occidental Petroleum refused.

The embarrassed Shell Oil Company began to mobilize the relationship between the Dutch government and the Dutch-Indian colonial authorities in an attempt to adopt a policy that, in addition to the oil fields that have been exploited, the oil resources on the Dutch Indonesian islands can only be owned by Dutch oil companies or the Netherlands. Mining of shares in a joint venture company.

This is clearly aimed at Occidental Petroleum and its ally Gulf Oil Company. In other words, apart from the small oil field that has just been opened, the other parts of the Minas Oilfield will not be owned by Occidental Petroleum.

The Minas oil field is so large that once Shell Oil Company explores near Occidental Petroleum's oil fields, the entire Minas oil field will soon be discovered.By then, most of the oil in the Minas oil field will be owned by Shell.

"According to the information I got, the Dutch and Indian colonial government is ready to take action. They will implement this policy within a week." Yao Hongmin said with some worry.

"Don't worry, there are many people who want to grab things from Lao Tzu, and few can grab them. Those Dutch people are just dreaming." Situ Nan coldly snorted.

"It's a pity, when we still don't turn my face, it will be fine if two more years pass."

Yao Hongmin persuaded that he was worried that Situ Nan would be angry and would go to war with the Dutch.After spending so many years with Situ Nan, he naturally understood that oil was Situ Nan's lifeblood.

The Zhi Gong Party is in the next big game, and for the time being, it can’t go head-to-head with the Dutch and Indian colonial authorities. Even if Zhang Haoran, a member of the Zhi Gong Party, led a group of soldiers to quietly control the Dumai area, the entire Minas Oilfield is armed with Chinese. Within the scope of the attack, you should also be patient for a while.

Now is not the time for the Zhi Gong Party to turn their faces with the Dutch. After all, Occidental Petroleum operates oil exploration in the Dutch territory and is subject to the constraints of the local government. If the other party really wants to come hard, it may be its own party that suffers.

"Haha. I don't need you to come forward, I have my own way to clean up the Dutch. You order, during this time, the movement will be smaller. The Dutch have already noticed the island of Sumatra, and wait for me to deal with those whimsical guys." Situ Nan is confident. Dao, Gen Ben didn't put the Dutch in his eyes.

If it were in Malaya, the British territory, Situ Nan would still converge a little bit. Unfortunately, this is Sumatra. The declining sea coachman wants to snatch things from the American Uncle Sam. This is not realistic.

"The company pays so many taxes to the U.S. government every year. The U.S. fleet is not as powerful as the British in the Philippines. Isn’t it better than the Dutch? I wish the Dutch would be more reckless. The Dutch government does not intend for American oil companies to exploit in the South Pacific. Petroleum, then the U.S. government will naturally not allow Shell Oil Company to engage in oil exploration in the United States, depending on who is more injured. I think the old Rockefeller fox would be happy to see Shell Oil roll out of the United States."

Situ Nan explained.

"Oh. That's the case." Yao Hongmin nodded, sighed with relief, and thought, he has been in Nanyang for too long, and he has become accustomed to looking at problems from the point of view of the Communist Party of China. He subconsciously regards Occidental Petroleum as an asset of the Party .

Think of it this way, of course, it is true that the source of funds for Meihua Company is Occidental Petroleum.It is a bit similar to Occidental Petroleum's investment in Zhi Gong Dang. The bet is that Zhi Gong Dang will succeed in the future.

Before the mining of the Minas oil field, Situ Nan had already united with the Mellon family and the Rockefeller family. On the issue of confronting the Dutch, the position of the three major oil families in the United States was absolutely united, and it was enough to influence the United States to face the Dutch side. Pressure.

Under the banner of an open door, it is an established policy of the United States to allow the US economy to penetrate the world. This is undoubtedly the essence of the mountain. The existence of the White House is to escort large American companies to the world, so Stuart did not take it at all. The Dutch took it seriously.

After Yao Hongmin went out, Situ Nan reported to Andrew and told him the actions of the Dutch.

Well, Andrew is ready to enter the political arena, almost put aside the business at hand, put more energy on the politicians to win over, is eager to have an opportunity to show the future influence of the three finance ministers?It is unforgivable for the Dutch to want to tap the Minas oil field of Gulf Oil.

Andrew was very angry. He told Situ Nan that he would arrange for the U.S. government to confront the Dutch without Situ Nan's intervention.

After getting a positive answer from Andrew, Situ Nan found Roosevelt again and told the undersecretary of the navy about the "evil deeds" of the Netherlands.

Roosevelt realized that this was a good opportunity, an opportunity to prove his ability again. He comforted Situ Nandao that the US Navy is absolutely capable of protecting the interests of American companies.

With more and more cooperation with the William Consortium, the Roosevelt family's economic strength has increased a lot, and they have already tasted the sweetness from it.When Situ Nan was able to absorb the Roosevelt family to join the oil development in Sumatra, the navy deputy commander became more motivated.

He told Situ Nan that in the near future, the United States will send a fleet including a battleship from Hawaii to the Philippines to strengthen the US Navy's strength in Asia.

This made Situ Nan excited, although he knew it was just a coincidence, it was impossible for Roosevelt and the U.S. Navy to temporarily send a fleet to support themselves.This may have been planned for a long time. The United States has become more and more restless in the fight for world hegemony, not only with the Netherlands, but also with the United Kingdom.

In Southeast Asia, Europe, Australia, Canada, etc., the traditional sphere of influence of the United Kingdom has been strongly challenged by the United States. More and more American-made products are driving out British products. American capital is also investing heavily in the British colonies, lacking funds. The British not only need American funds, but also hate the erosion of their own interests by American capital. Therefore, it is a relationship of struggle and cooperation.

Thinking about this, Situ Nan smiled and said, "Roosevelt is probably for the British to see. Suppressing the faded sea coachman can show his existence without excessively stimulating the British. It is really best. But, why did this Dutchman come from Britain and the United States?"...
