The journey starts from the Titanic

However, a group of people who came out of a poor and weak country, but in the back garden of the Westerners, are splitting their borders, arguing outside the territory, and in sharp contrast with the terrible situation of the mainland. How to not make people feel a little complicated.

Maybe they are not ready to deal with Nanhua?

Beijing, Wu Peifu's residence.

Wu Peifu looked at the Jewish Little Kadoorie in front of him with a complex mood. Today, Little Kadoorie came to visit as the Commercial Counselor of Nanhua.

In fact, Nanhua’s embassy in China just put an extra sign on the original Meihua company.Many employees of Meihua Company temporarily added the name of South China Ministry of Commerce Counselor.

This is a very interesting phenomenon, because the South China government is so poor that it cannot send a serious diplomat from the country like other powers, and then build a magnificent embassy in a decent way.

The order issued by the South China Government to the embassies (or Meihua Company) in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places is to pull people.Promote South China and emigrate domestic intellectuals, businessmen, bankrupt workers, and farmers to South China.

They are too late to recruit people from the country, so there is an excess population to send to the motherland.This situation is very nondescript. In fact, except for a very small number of employees who are loyal to Meihua, most of the employees cannot distinguish the difference between Chinese and South Chinese.

The instructions issued to them by the South China Ministry of Foreign Affairs are even more dumb: in South China, they are the Chinese of South China, and in the motherland they are the Chinese of the motherland.

"General Wu, why don't you speak?" Little Kadoorie asked with a smile.

"What is Nanhua like?" Wu Peifu asked.

"Sorry, I haven't seen it either, but I heard it's very hot." Little Kadoorie smiled, and said seriously, "As far as I understand, Nanhua is actually a relatively large company. I personally think that at least my identity is not Change is still a businessman, a businessman chasing profits. Of course, I will also be a good friend of General Wu. I have some good stuff in my hand. I wonder if General Wu is interested?"

"What's good?" Wu Peifu asked sensitively.He was noncommittal about what little Kadoorie said.

Little Kadoorie is an arms dealer with great abilities. Wu Peifu has purchased a large number of arms from him many times, and the effect is not bad. Cao Wu's new direct line is in full swing and is inseparable from the arms provided by Little Kadoorie.

Especially Wu Peifu, who is now considered the most capable general to fight, many people think he is a powerful candidate for a unified country.

Seeing Wu Peifu's interest, Xiao Jiadaoli smiled slightly, "Made in Medan! Just finished shooting the Dutch and it's still hot. Machine guns, cannons, everything, cheap!"

"Oh! They defeated the Dutch. It is said that even the Dutch navy was defeated. It's not easy!" Wu Peifu's knife-like gaze fell on Little Kadoorie's face, and he was vaguely unconvinced with the South China Army.

"I don't understand the war. I only know that these things are useful to General Wu, and I can make money. To tell you the truth, Nanhua is very poor now, and the army's weapons are exchanged for money soon after they are used up.

Not only you, but how many more do I have to run?Dashuai Zhang from the northeast, and Dashuai Lu from Zhejiang, I have to go there."

Little Kadoorie was half joking.In fact, Meihua Company and other princes also maintained business relations, but the transaction was not comparable to that of Wu Peifu, a major client.

Wu Peifu also knows this. Not only Meihua, but all arms dealers do this. Doesn't Wu Peifu also hook up with other arms dealers?

Wu Peifu can trust Meihua's products.Little Kadoorie is not like other arms dealers who are always gulping. Wu Peifu is very satisfied."This is a sample, made in Medan, imitated German Mauser, much better than Hanyang." Little Kadoori took a Medan rifle from his entourage and handed it to Wu Peifu.

"Good gun!" Wu Peifu played for a while and praised, he is no stranger to ordnance.

"Of course. The barrels are imported from the United States, produced by big companies, and quality is guaranteed, otherwise how can they beat the Dutch? This time the price will be calculated according to Hanyang! I have 50,000 in my hand, and you want me to all Here you are. A one-time payment, a 10% discount, and another 1 million bullets."

Little Kadoorie said in a painful way.

Now Nanhua’s materials are not enough by itself. When the ships of the Southern Star Shipping Company go north, the ships often have excess capacity. Basically, what valuable Nanhua has that can be exchanged for money, Meihua Company will load it on the ship and ship it back to the mainland. Carrying population or other materials, returning to the voyage full of people.

The South China Army began to retire. In addition to retaining 100,000 army units and 50,000 policemen adapted from second-line troops, the rest of the soldiers took off their uniforms and became South China builders.

Therefore, a lot of weapons and ammunition were freed up in the South China Army, including those previously captured by the Dutch. There were more than 100,000 rifles, as well as many machine guns and artillery.

Rather than putting these weapons in a warehouse and taking up space, it is better to exchange them for money for construction.Of course, South China's attack on the indigenous forces will not stop, but it is true that there will be no large-scale war.

The military kept some of its weapons and sold the remaining weapons.

Feeling that Little Kadoorie’s attitude was a bit eager, Wu Peifu didn’t immediately express his position, and asked: “Then, I need a plane, I don’t know...”

"No problem, how much do you want?" Little Kadoori said readily.

"Why don't you give me 10 planes! I'll help you buy all the arms." Wu Peifu said, he is more and more aware of the importance of airplanes, and since there are ready-made ones, why do you ask for them?

Little Kadoori was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Wu Peifu.

Wu Peifu's eyes were calm, without a trace of fluctuation.

"General Wu, it would be a waste of your talents if you didn't go into business. Okay! Just do what you said!" Little Kadaoli sighed.

The South China Air Force has more than 200 aircraft. After the war, more than 100 aircraft were retired and sold at a low price. They were converted into agricultural aircraft, flight school training aircraft, and mail airline transport aircraft.

It is more than enough to squeeze out ten planes to give Wu Peifu, anyway, even if it is not used as a favor, it will be old in a few years.

"General Wu, in addition to discussing business, we also hope you can help me. That's the case. As you know, my big boss wants to attract immigrants from the mainland to develop Nanyang. After all, Chinese are still a minority in Nanyang. It is not enough to deal with those indigenous people who do not have enough population.

The situation in the mainland is a bit chaotic now, and many people cannot eat enough. We are planning to organize Chinese emigration to make a living in South China.With your support, our plan will be much smoother.I think this is good for both parties."

Little Kadoorie said frankly.He is a Jew, but now he is more and more soluble in Meihua.Nanhua's emphasis on the Chinese population made him have to cheer up.

Wu Peifu thought for a while, felt nothing wrong, nodded and said: "Yes. But we need to supervise."

"No problem." Little Kadoori assured.He thought to himself that Wu Peifu might be worried about Nanhua's expansion of troops in the country in the name of recruiting workers. He smiled in his heart and said nothing.

With Wu Peifu's answer, things will be easier.At least Nanhua can not only recruit workers and immigrants in Guangdong and Guangxi, but also greatly facilitate the intellectuals in the north, as well as some adventurous landlords and old wealth.

Wu Peifu has been sending people to supervise him, so as to avoid any conspiracy by Kadoorie.But from the beginning to the end, Meihua Company was very well-behaved, and they didn't have the time to make small moves.

Chapter 135 The Old Man from the Qing Dynasty and the Kong Xiangxi Couple

In addition to Wu Peifu, Little Kadoorie did not forget to visit Cao Kun, his immediate boss.Cao Kun speaks better than Wu Peifu, he is a person who can talk about anything as long as he has interests.

Or in other words, he is a more sleek person.

No matter how bad the Beiyang government’s perception of the powerful and powerful, Kadoorie still enthusiastically dealt with them, promoted South China, portrayed South China as a paradise for investment, and encouraged the wealthy people in Beijing and Tianjin to invest in South China, but it was somewhat effective.

There are a large number of powerful people in Beijing and Tianjin. They are all rich people, but they don't invest in industry. They are keen to buy and speculate in the concessions, and they live a superior life as a second-class citizen.

Otherwise, they would go back home and buy land. They are very conservative. They would rather hide the money under the bed than deposit it in the bank. They only believe in the visible things-land and money.

They took away a large number of Beiyang bureaucrats in office, and after stepping down, they went to Tianjin concession to work as public residence.In the case of a bad investment environment, Meihua's propaganda still aroused a little interest of these people.

Nanhua has cheap land and rich products. For a large family with a population of several hundred, it is also a good choice to separate some people to Nanhua.

As a result, Xiaodi, in the Beijing-Tianjin Beiyang Apartment, where there is nothing to do, set off a small wave of investment in land in Nanhua.Of course, most people will not leave for Nanhua easily. Perhaps only the less important members of the family will go to Nanyang.

Little Kadoorie returned to the Beijing branch of Meihua Company humming a little song, and heard Lin Yimin call him.

"Seeing you are in a good mood, things should go well?" Lin Yimin smiled.

"Not bad. They have all the goods, and they promised to facilitate Nanhua's recruitment in China." Little Kaori said lightly.

"That's good." Lin Yimin nodded.

"By the way, some of my compatriots, they hope to go to South China, do New Tangshan welcome them?" Xiao Jiadaoli asked carefully.

"No problem." Lin Yimin said readily, except for the Japanese, Nanhua welcomes everyone to immigrate to Nanhua."But, can you be more specific?"
