The journey starts from the Titanic

He knew that Situ Nan was a very important person, at least much better than himself, who had just come from Shanghai. It was natural to be Situ Nan's secretary, but it was too sudden, and he hesitated.

For Situ Nan, who seemed to be only a few years older than himself, had become the existence that caused his father and son to bow their heads, there was a trace of jealousy in Xiao Jiadaoli's heart, not angry!

He is also a victorious person, but when he was about to refuse, the old Kadoorie made the decision for him.

"Since Mr. Situ Nan can see you, you should meet him!" Old Kadoorie said with a smile.

Similarly, he was a little strange to Situ Nan's kindness in his heart, but felt that it was good for Xiao Kadao, so he grabbed his son and refused Situ Nan to make a decision for his son.

Of course, his subtext is, if you don't do a good job, Kadoorie will come back!You don't have to be too dependent on Situ Nan.

Little Kadoorie pursed his mouth, his stubborn mouth was slightly upturned, and he glanced at Old Kadoorie with some dissatisfaction.

But he is not good at objecting. After all, he has not been working for a long time. He is currently in the stage of learning and accumulating. In fact, he is not completely disgusted with being Situ Nan's English secretary.

"Haha. Demo, when you take it!" Situ Nan looked at Xiao Ka Daoli and thought, but his face was full of enthusiasm.

"Just right! Soon, I want to go to Shanghai too! It is great to have Roland's help." Situ Nan enthusiastically took the hand of Little Kadoorie, and could already be affectionately called Little Kadoorie Roland.

After negotiation, Meihua Company and the Kadoorie family jointly established China Power Holding Company, which has Hong Kong China Power Company, Guangzhou Power Plant, and Guangfo Power Company, which will invest 3 million yuan in Foshan.

The total assets exceed 7 million, of which Meihua Company accounts for 70% of the shares and the Kadoorie family 30%.Old Kadoorie, that is Yili?Kadoorie became the chairman and president of the company.

The Guangfo Electric Power Company’s project excited Kadoorie, followed by the development of Meihua Road and Xinhepu, as well as the Dongfeng building materials base in Foshan. He is confident that CLP Power will monopolize the power market in Guangzhou and become the largest power supplier in South China. .

In order to obtain coal for power generation, China Power Corporation will soon enter the coal market in northern Guangdong and set up its own coal company to open mines in northern Guangdong.At the same time, it also intervened in the Guangdong-Han Railway to maintain the channel from northern Guangdong to the Pearl River Delta.

Chapter 87 Hong Kong, Situ Meiden’s Mobilization Meeting

Meihua announced its entry into the Hong Kong insurance market in a high-profile manner. It has successfully acquired the British-owned Qichang Insurance Company and also made the decision to make its subsidiary China Power Company independent.

Once the news came out, it caused a small sensation in Hong Kong.Qichang Insurance Company can be regarded as a Hong Kong company that cannot be underestimated, and its subsidiaries also control power companies, hotels, terminals and other industries.

A few days ago, there were rumors that Qichang Insurance Company's investment failed and it was almost bankrupt, but people never expected that it would be taken by Meihua Company at once, leaving many people unprepared.

People have been talking about the strength of Meihua, and the limelight is catching up with the old consortiums such as Jardine and HSBC. Gradually, they have accepted the Meihua consortium as an existence with the same weight as Jardine and HSBC.

In a mansion in Hong Kong, the shareholders of the Bank of Guangdong gathered to discuss. Li Yutang, Lu Pengshan, Li Zizhong and other major shareholders were also there, but the central figure was indeed sitting on the side of the glamorous Stuart Meiden.

Casually interjecting, Anliangtang Real Estate Company, the once Anliangtang gang company, also followed Meihua to buy shares of Guangdong Bank. Although the shares are not many, it does represent the Meihua consortium. Stuart Meiden does have self-reliant capital.

"Meihua is really amazing! Now we are also the bosses of those foreign devils?" Lu Pengshan smiled.

After Guangdong Bank merged with American China Bank, the original shareholders also became shareholders of American China Bank (China), but most of the shares were still in the hands of the American headquarters of American China Bank.

Lu Pengshan's joke aroused everyone's joy.His words also make some sense.

"Let me say that Brother Situ is still good, and he did such a big business without saying a word, and gave me a magnificent turn! In terms of beauty, it is really enough...

If your brother hadn't come to tell us this group of old friends, we really didn't know that such an amazing Meihua company appeared in Nanyang!Li Zizhong sighed at Situ Meideng.

"Who says no? I also heard that those young people in Guangzhou are still cooperating with the Ho Tung family and the Kadoorie family in Hong Kong recently. It's really a combination of Chinese and foreign, but it can be compared to us old guys! I see that Yihe HSBC is nothing more than that!" Li Yutang said.

As the richest man in Hong Kong, he knows more than others.With the frequent big moves of Meihua recently, his heart is more and more surprised.

Situ Meideng smiled restrainedly. How could he ever think that a gang leader himself is now better than these big merchants?

Xiaodi calmed down the feeling in his heart, Situ Meideng smiled and said, "I have to discuss some things with my old friends. First of all, I represent Meihua Company and the overseas Chinese, and I will explain something to everyone. Happening.

All of us here are Cantonese, and most of them have been overseas and have suffered from abroad. Although we are living well now, we all know that no matter how rich we are, we will not be respected.

Take the land under our feet as an example. If it's not good, it also depends on the face of the British. So don't look at Meihua's beautiful scenery outside, but behind it, we may not know how much we paid.Why is Meihua not based in San Francisco, but has to go to Southeast Asia and return to the mainland of the motherland? That is because the better we develop in the United States, the more dangerous it is!"

Situ Meiden said indignantly.

He didn’t know this feeling at first, but with the expansion of U.S.-China power in the U.S., although he was blessed by the William Consortium, he faced increasing resistance, and some people who were friendly to the Chinese began to show their right. Chinese worry.

Although it’s not necessary, that’s it. In the final analysis...

Even Situ Nan, after World War I, did not dare to allow Meihua to immigrate to the United States in large numbers from China.

The development strategy of the Zhi Gong Party in the United States is more to improve the quality of Chinese, such as investing in education, encouraging Chinese to naturalize in the United States, encouraging Chinese to engage in middle-class occupations such as lawyers, doctors, and skilled workers. At the same time, it also consciously strengthens and US charity organizations contact.

In a word, the immigration strategy has shifted from quantitative immigration to quality immigration.

Vigorously organizing and encouraging Chinese youth to study in the United States is also the policy of the Zhi Gong Party. On the one hand, it is to reserve talents for the state and for the Zhi Gong Party itself.

Do not underestimate the patriotic enthusiasm of the overseas students of this era, and do not think that after studying abroad, they are fighting to stay in the United States like a hundred years later. Therefore, Zhi Gong Dang and Meihua Company organize and encourage Chinese youth to study in the United States and Europe no matter where they come from. All have a positive meaning.

Well, some digress.

Seeing Situ Meiden's excitement, the group of Guangdong Bank gangsters in the room felt that today's affairs were a bit serious.

"Brother Situ, just speak directly if you have anything! I have also suffered outside, and we know what you say! As long as it is not a damaging matter, I will support you even if it is a serious matter!"

Lu Pengshan said loudly.He has the strongest relationship with Situ Meitang.When he was in San Francisco before, Stuart Meiden helped him a lot.

"Yes! Old Situ, everyone is our own, so just speak up if you have something to say!" The other big men agreed.

These people can't make them carry guns desperately, but they are still revolutionary. Didn't the Qing Dynasty shake the rule of the Qing Dynasty only when these overseas Chinese businessmen paid for it and supported several uprisings of the Tongmenghui?

It was only after the 1911 that the Republic of China disappointed them, and their enthusiasm became cold.For businessmen, it seems that they want to contribute to the country, but there is no way to serve the country!

What a chaotic era!

"Okay!" Situ Meideng glanced at the audience and slowly said, "Someone once told me that the mainland is too big for one person or a group of people to clean up the river. The fact that this country is poor and weak suddenly It’s also hard to turn around. We are businessmen who want a good environment, but looking around Yu, we really can’t find a place where we can have dignity.

Everyone has been abroad and knows the pain of going abroad. In Nanyang, the selling of piglets still exists. The British and Dutch are bullying us, and our sufferings cannot be extended. What should we do?If there is no answer to this question, then our achievements in the business field today will no longer improve.

To put it bluntly, we people are just better off than those piglets."

Situ Meiden's words made everyone feel sad, and they nodded secretly, unable to help but recall their past experiences.Although they are lucky and can achieve some success in business, they know that Chinese capital has a guilty conscience when compared with foreigners.

"Yes! After our business has grown to a certain extent, most of them have been defeated by the joint strangulation of foreigners. There are too many examples!"

Li Yutang said, seeing that Situ Meideng was still a bit concealed, he asked directly, "Old Situ, is it going to fight?!"

Li Yutang is too experienced in this regard, because when the revolutionary party came to fool him before, they would always prepare a lot of similar openings, and the tone was similar to Situ Meiden.

"Brother! Are you going to fight those people in Guangxi? If you are looking for reliable people, I will definitely support it. Damn, Sun Dapao, likes to entangle with those from other provinces and lead wolves into the house. It's not a good thing!" Still Lu Pengshan , He said bluntly.

Hearing his yelling, everyone had a sense of understanding, and thought that Situ Meideng might have caught up with a god, and wanted to do a career in Guangzhou.

Does this work?Isn't it a "car cannon" again?

Although everyone had doubts in their hearts, they also expressed their support.

After all, most people in this era have regional views, and businessmen, they really don’t like the Gui army exploited in Guangzhou, otherwise there will be no Guangdong-Guizhou battle in the coming year.
