The journey starts from the Titanic

What made him happy was that everyone in the house was a bunch of extremely smart people. Even if they figured out the huge benefits of investing in South China, they would take the initiative to invest in South China without Situ Nan's power to suppress them.

The secret meeting of Situ Mansion was strictly protected. Only a few parties knew that Situ Nan had sold South China's oil and gas resources to the William Consortium in exchange for Robes Securities, Occidental Petroleum, Bethlehem, and Giant's investment in South China.

"Now the South China government is the guarantee of our interests. Our business will grow with the development of South China. This is a huge market. I believe you can see their determination from the series of actions by South China. I hope you will keep your eyes open. In the future, companies will participate as much as possible in the construction of Nanhua."

Situ Nan concluded.

As soon as the voice fell, there was a round of applause.Situ Nan glanced at everyone and saw the unconcealed excitement and greed in the eyes of Robes and Hengda's partners.

Yao Hongmin was the most excited. His face was flushed. Now that the cooperation between South China and the American consortium has been reached, his heart has been relieved.

In order to conceal the public, these cooperative projects are all carried out in the form of joint ventures.The target of cooperation with American companies is naturally Meihua Company.

Holding Wu Sinan, Wu Manli walked to the door, looked at the tightly guarded guards, sighed, and backed away.

"Are they still going on?" She pulled a coffee servant.

"Yes. Mr. He personally went out to the door and brought the coffee in, madam." The servant said Mr. He was Situ Nan's assistant He Yongyuan. Naturally, this kind of secret matter would not be known to ordinary people.

"Prepare dinner! Also, order to go down, you are not allowed to reveal anything in the house." Wu Manli warned in her eyes.

Chapter 133

In New Tangshan City, the former Heyin Governor’s Mansion has been flattened, and the ruins that smelled of gunpowder are gone, replaced by a busy construction site.

Seeing the new commercial district gradually taking shape, Situ Nan felt comfortable.

New Tangshan City is divided into two areas, north and south. The northern area near the port, which was originally razed to the ground by South China military artillery, will become the shipping center and commercial center of New Tangshan City after reconstruction, as well as the seat of government agencies.

The South China government has delineated a large area of ​​land and is preparing to build government office buildings. The heads of the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Communications have also delineated the land for the new building early, waiting for the scenery to settle in a few years later.

In addition to government agencies, there are also a large number of commercial organizations that are also staking out their land.

Needless to say, Meihua Company directly acquired 100,000 acres of land in the city center in one go, preparing to build a large number of buildings to house Meihua Company's countless industries.

In addition to the United States and China, American giants such as Robles Securities, Occidental Petroleum, Wells Fargo, Bethlehem, and Giant also set up branches in New Tangshan City.

This has become their main direction of overseas investment in the future.

And other Chinese families were not to be outdone, and sprinted in the capital. They had already regarded New Tangshan City as their future family base.

The land is very cheap, because the land deeds are either in the hands of the government or in the hands of the Meihua Company. In order to attract investment, the South China government almost sold the land half and half. It was not only a company closely related to South China, but also British and Dutch businessmen. No exception.

Many speculative businessmen saw huge business opportunities and began to craze for land in New Tangshan City.At the same time, a large number of Chinese immigrants poured into South China, so that the scale of New Tangshan City has expanded and expanded, and the entire urban area has doubled.

This does not include the future industrial zone of New Tangshan City.

The Dutch did not stay in any industry, so the industrial area of ​​New Tangshan City was laid down in the southern suburbs 50 kilometers away from the city.

By then, most of the factories in New Tangshan City will settle in the Southern Industrial Zone.Yu Mingyu is directing the Ministry of Industry to conduct a geographical survey of the southern region, collect more information, and wait for foreign experts to arrive before designing and constructing.

The Nanhua government is organizing engineering teams to build railways and highways from the industrial zone to the urban area. They pass through the urban area to the port.

The bulldozer pulled rough, rumbling noises, and the huge dozer turned the hard soil away.The driver, Lao Qi, sat in the cab, manipulating the bulldozer intently, filled with excitement.

Damn, this big Yangma is just a bit more vigorous, much better than the one I drove on the farm.

He looked back and saw that there was a road roller behind him, the huge crush rolling back and forth, compacting the earth tightly and effortlessly, leaving a straight and spacious road behind.

This is what those little teachers in the night school said about the efficiency of machinery?

Old Qi thought to himself.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it. In Medan, he was mobilized to join the security team, and then he was trained to lose his skin. It's a pity that the Dutch were too casual and the security team did not participate in a battle. , Just followed the army all the way south from Medan.

After the previous army captured the city, it left a small number of garrisons, leaving the city to the security team, and then rushed to the next battlefield.

In this way, for half a year, a group of Old Seven people came from Medan to Xintangshan, the new capital of South China.

After the war, the security team also became an engineering team.However, after putting down their guns, they didn't have to return to the farm to carry the hoe, but became construction workers.

When these people are strange, there are a lot of machines in the engineering team. There is no need for workers to pick up hoes and "gnaw" a huge amount of earth little by little. They only need to follow the machine and be guided by those American technicians. Next, tie up the steel, and then the huge concrete mixer spit out a large amount of concrete from the pocket and spread it on the finished road.

In a short while, a new, solid road was formed, and it could be put into use in a few days.

The weather was hot, sitting in the cab, sweating, Lao Qi paused for a while, picked up the kettle next to him and poured it hard.

Looking back, the road roller was already some distance away from him. Old Qi had the final say. From 7:00 in the morning to 11:30 now, in less than 5 hours, the bulldozer had shoveled 200 meters of earth, a large amount of earthwork. If you are shoveled down from a high place to a low-lying place, if you want to do it manually, it will have to be done until the year of the monkey!Machine work is much better than human work.

Old Qi sighed with emotion, and patted the "Great Yangma" under his butt with some affection. This iron guy is too good at drinking oil. He had a much better appetite for the tractor when he was on the farm. He had to refuel several times a day. It.

This is a section of the road leading to the dock in the urban area of ​​New Tangshan City. The old road will be replaced by a new and strong concrete highway.There was a cool breeze on the face, and Lao Qi could almost smell the waves. It seemed that the road was about to be repaired to the dock.

He was energetic, re-engaged, and started the bulldozer to continue working.

He now cherishes this job very much, and his daily salary of 1 Nanhua yuan makes him very satisfied.He has now begun to adapt to the new money of Nanhua Yuan. 1 Nanhua Yuan is equal to 0.5 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to 1.2 oceans, and one month's salary is 36 oceans.

This is a high salary!

When working on a farm in the past, only ten oceans a month, how can it be so lavish now?

In addition to repatriating 20 oceans to Tangshan's hometown every month, you can save more than a dozen oceans every month. If you work for another three to five years, wouldn't you have more money than the old wealth of the landlord in your hometown?

Old Qi beautifully thought.

After the war, the South China government fulfilled its promise, according to personal wishes, for soldiers who participated in the war and were willing to return to work on the farm, they would allocate 20 acres of land to each.

Soldiers who are willing to stay in the city and work in the engineering team will still receive points for the land, but they will be temporarily rented out to farms for farming and can get a rent every year.At the same time, Meihua has substantially increased the salaries of engineering team members.

People with certain skills like Lao Qi are the most popular, and their wages are three or four times higher than that of ordinary workers.

"Di..." A loud whistle sounded, and the workers who were working had a lighthearted expression because they would be off work soon.

"Seven brother, when will you take your family over? I thought about letting my brother come over. Instead of staying at home and plowing the land for the landlord, it would be better to plow my own field. Well, let my parents come here too. "

A sturdy young man flicked his teeth with a look of hope on his face.He is the neighbor of Old Seven, so he is also called Xiao Ba by other workers.Because he was a decade younger than the seventh, if he hadn't followed the seventh, he would have returned to work on the farm.

"It makes sense. I thought it was time to come. Two days later, I will write to my family. Let's come over together, so I can take care of it." Old Qi touched his chin and said.

"Then Brother Seven, there is something, can I want you to help?" Xiao Ba was a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter? Come and listen!" Old Qi said with some restraint.

"There are many brothers in our family. There are three younger brothers below me. They are all able to work in their teens. I asked them to work on the construction site. Can you talk to the foreman?"

"It turned out to be this, no problem. Now people are recruiting everywhere. Didn't you see the company directly at the dock, and the people who pull a cart every day? They are training now, and in a week, they will Coming to the construction site."

Old Qi said somewhat mysteriously.
