The journey starts from the Titanic

To say that Meihua’s biggest asset is actually you, me, him... well, Meihua is continuously absorbing Chinese capital from all over the world, and through organizing Chinese industries, Chinese capital is turned into concrete factories, mines, and farms. and many more.

In Nanyang, Meihua has gathered most of the Chinese capital and obtained a large part of the resources of the Chinese society. It is now integrating the Chinese industrial chain and competing with European capital.

Now Meihua intends to expand investment in China, at least in South China, so I want to find your cooperation.This is not only the cooperation of Guangdong Bank, but also all-round cooperation.From the aspects of economy, culture, security, etc., everyone is united, whether it is self-protection or development, it will get twice the result with half the effort.

This is also the purpose of my coming today!Everyone is old buddy, so I have something to say straight.You and these people actually represent the Guangdong Consortium. The Guangdong Consortium also accounts for more than half of the South China Consortium. As we all know, the South China Consortium and the Nanyang Chinese Consortium are almost integrated. Now the Nanyang Chinese Consortium has been integrated with the Meihua Consortium. Together, so I invite you to join us."

I don't know if Situ Meideng has had more mobilization sessions, and the eloquence of Situ's big gang leader is getting better and better, and it won the applause of everyone.

In fact, Situ Meideng will be running back and forth in the Chinese world in the next few years, pulling in people!In addition to like-minded Chinese capitalists, other Chinese talents with overseas backgrounds have also become his target.

Naturally, everyone would not have been stunned by Situ Meiden and cried and called for an organization, but they were already moved.

"Are there any good introductions?" Lu Pengshan asked some monkeys anxiously.

"I don't know the specific project, but Nanyang will send someone over in a few days to explain related issues for you. In fact, this question is also simple, nothing more than the word business. Meihua has advantages in capital, technology, and information. I can design investment projects specifically for you, no matter what it is, it will not make everyone suffer." Situ Meideng laughed.

Seeing the movement of the crowd, he smiled in his heart and said, "Actually, I suggest that you have time to go to Nanyang. Seeing is believing. Take a look and you will know in your heart."

"Alright!" Everyone nodded and set a date for their voyage to Nanyang.

In the secret meeting of the board of directors of Guangdong Bank in Hong Kong, Situ Meiden, the representative of Meihua Company, played an important role in this meeting that was deformed from the beginning!

He gave a detailed account of the situation of the US-China Consortium and the Zhi Gong Party, as well as future plans. He was moved by emotion, understood by reason, and tempted to profit.Under the encouragement of Stuart Meideng, the shareholders of the Bank of Guangdong rushed to the south.

After returning from Nanyang, their attitudes have changed significantly. Not only did they join the Zhi Gong Party, they also agreed to join the investment projects led by the US-China Consortium, which greatly enhanced the strength of Chinese capital.

In addition to Chinese capitalists such as Li Yutang and Lu Pengshan of the Bank of Guangdong, Situ Meitang then actively contacted other Chinese capitalists. Under his encouragement, more and more capitalists in Guangdong and Fujian began to cooperate with the US-China consortium.

Later, someone joked that Situ Meideng had contributed to the support of so many Chinese capital for Meihua.

His sharp mouth helped the US-China Consortium and the Zhi Gong Party to win over most of the capital and talents in the south to go south, which greatly promoted the liberation of the Chinese in Nanyang.

Meihua consciously plays the role of an industrial organizer. By building a complete industrial chain, it integrates Chinese capital from South China and Southeast Asia, provides them with capital, technology, management and other services, and promotes the development of Chinese capital in a favorable direction.

In order to accomplish this goal well, the Meihua Consortium established Meihua Products Company.

On the one hand, we promote the international trade activities of Chinese companies through a variety of well-designed services; on the other hand, we can create new businesses, new companies, and new businesses through our own global economic information, human resources, financial resources and other resources and customers. industry.

At the same time, Meihua also has a large number of subsidiaries of its own. Through Meihua Properties and related Chinese companies, they can exchange information and cooperate with each other, which greatly improves the competitiveness of Chinese companies.

In the absence of national protection, it is very rare for Chinese capital to be able to develop under the big tree of Meihua.

In view of the small capital scale of most Chinese, Meihua Products encourages them to invest in light industries such as logging, matches, toothbrushes, and grain processing.

This is why a number of successful entrepreneurs such as the toothbrush king and the match king appeared in Guangdong later.

After these companies develop, Meihua Products will gradually withdraw from the light industry and focus its energy on infrastructure, energy, heavy industry and other projects, laying the foundation for the further development of Chinese capital.

After Li Yutang and the others came back from Nanyang, they sighed again and again. The old guys seemed to be inspired to start a business again, and they even wanted to invest in a steel plant in Nansha, Panyu.

This decision made Situ Meiden nervous.He found Li Yutang and the others excitedly and persuaded Li Yutang to think twice.

"Old Li, it's not easy to set up an iron factory! In the energy, mining, shipping and other industries, Meihua hopes to get your participation. Why not choose other projects that are easier to succeed?" Tao.

"Old Situ, we have already discussed this matter. Of course what you said is reasonable. We can definitely make money after Meihua, but after we went to the Philippines to see the iron factory, we felt that this is a huge country. , There is not even a decent steel plant, which is heartache!

So we did not know what we could do, and decided to do it again before we were old, and set up a steel plant in the south."Li Yutang said firmly.

He said so naturally. Meihua promised to help them import a 50,000-ton production line from the United States. The price is half lower than usual. At the same time, he also said that it can provide technical services. As long as Li Yutang and the others pay, Meihua will Help them make preparations for opening the iron plant.

As for the market, it is even more worrying.Although China is not a big country in steel production, it imports a lot of steel from foreign countries every year. As long as it is not like the Hanyang Iron Plant, which has a bunch of borers, this steel plant still has a future.

Situ Nan was very supportive after hearing the news.

Nansha has convenient transportation conditions, backed by Guangzhou, radiates to the Pearl River Delta, and has a relatively large market potential.

The coal needed for ironmaking can be obtained from the Hongji coal mine in northern Guangdong or Annan in France, and the source of iron ore has also been resolved.

The Philippines, Malaya, Indonesia, Annan and other places have relatively abundant iron ore, which can be transported to Nansha, Panyu by sea.

In order to solve the iron ore problem, under the suggestion of Situ Nan, Meihua Company secretly sent geological survey personnel to Hainan Island to research and develop the Shilu iron ore in Hainan.

In 1919, several wealthy businessmen, including Li Yutang, Lu Pengshan, and Li Zizhong, jointly invested 2 million yuan to build a steel plant with an annual output of 50,000 tons in Nansha, Panyu, named Ziqiang Iron and Steel Plant.

This is a page worth recording in Chinese industrial history.Under doubts, the Ziqiang Iron and Steel Plant overcame various difficulties and was finally successfully completed a year later.Ten years later, its scale has expanded to 200,000 tons.

This is unprecedented in history.But because of Meihua, it did appear.

Chapter 90: Meeting Wu Tingfang

Meihua Property Company, Situ Nan has a lot of information about Chinese capital in South China and Nanyang.

What makes him feel interesting is that many wealthy people are still rich in their hearts.Some brave people, when they heard that the Australian Development Company led by Huang Zhonghan had a large tract of land for sale, they immediately bought a large tract of land in Western Australia, and then sent their relatives to Australia to run a farm.

Situ Nan seems to have forgotten, in fact, he himself has a strong landlord color.If the landlords of the world are ranked, apart from the Queen of England and the bandit Zhang in the northeast, Situ Nan himself can at least be among the best.

If you calculate the value of those lands, then Situ Nan is richer than the Queen, because whether it is the land of Western Australia or the desert of the Middle East, there are amazing treasures buried under these lands under Situ Nan's name!

Closer to home, Situ Nan deliberately imitated the Mitsui Consortium in Japan and led a group of Chinese capital to become stronger through Meihua Properties.

In fact, through the investigation of the Japanese economy by the William Consortium, Situ Nan found that while Mitsui & Co. Ltd. was in the midst of a toddler, Japan’s Mitsui & Co. Ltd. had already achieved remarkable results.

Under the leadership of Mitsui & Co., related companies of the Mitsui Consortium of Japan, on the one hand, invested heavily in mining, railway and other industries in northeastern China, Shanghai and other places, controlled a part of trade with China, and plundered a large amount of Chinese resources back to the homeland.

In Japan, Mitsui & Co. is organizing a group of related companies to invest in heavy industries such as steel, shipbuilding, and chemicals to realize Japan’s industrialization.

In addition to Mitsui, Mitsubishi, and Sumitomo, other Japanese consortia are also doing things that can't be worse.In short, the rise of Japanese industry is a foregone conclusion. In the face of Japanese chaebols who are like tigers and wolves, if Meihua cannot prepare early, it will still suffer in the future.

Therefore, Situ Nan felt that Meihua had to learn from Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other Japanese chaebols in many aspects.

Due to various restrictions, the main targets Meihua Products will face in the near future are capitalists in Guangdong and Fujian provinces. As for the capital in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, they are unable to do so.

Capitalists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang prefer to invest in Shanghai and have little enthusiasm for Nanyang, which is a barbarian land in their eyes.

Their investment returns in Shanghai are also good, after all, the development speed of Shanghai is much faster than that of Guangdong.At least in the financial industry, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium with Shanghai as its center has developed better than the South China Consortium.

Situ Nan received information from Shanghai from time to time that the banking industry in Shanghai has sprung up everywhere, with new banks opening almost every month.

If you calculate the number of banks in Shanghai, the total number of financial institutions can add up, and it may be better than Wall Street.

Of course, this is a joke, and it will be true a hundred years later.

As the countdown to the days of stay in Guangzhou entered, Situ Nan paid more attention to matters in Shanghai.As for Meihua Properties, Situ Nan set up a development blueprint and then let go.

History sometimes leaves nothing to say, but later people who studied the history of the United States and China were surprised to find that during the Nanyang Chinese Revolution in the early 1920s, many capitalists in the South invested heavily in industry and commerce in South China. At the same time, their large amount of capital is also tacitly moving south.

For a while, it became the most active area in China's economy.Although not well-known at the time, its later influence far exceeded that of consortia in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and North China.
