The journey starts from the Titanic

At the same time, there is also a Yangtze River Anti-smuggling Team, equipped with several small speedboats eliminated by the Yangtze River Defense Forces. Song Ziwen and Lin Yimin are still satisfied with this.

Regarding this result, the military generals are not unhappy. They are not without gain. On the contrary, after reaching a tacit agreement with Song Caishen of the Ministry of Finance, the government will allocate a certain amount of funds to order a batch of new ships from the Jiangnan Shipyard to strengthen the coastal defense.

Song Ziwen said that after the first five-year plan, the government has gradually increased investment in the military industry, invested more resources in research and development of new weapons, and accelerated the construction of the navy!

At present, we are vigorously developing the shipbuilding industry, supporting national shipyards, actively opening sailing schools, cultivating talents, and sending students abroad, etc., all for the future.

Military giants such as Deng Keng and Li Zongren had to acquiesce in the existence of the tax police corps. They were given the command of the tax police corps during the war. Therefore, the tax police turmoil suddenly started and soon subsided.

Situ Nan laughed but didn't say a word when he heard that, but Song Ziwen still "stubbornly" set up a tax police corps.

On this day, Lin Yimin and Song Ziwen jointly visited Situ Nan. Seeing that they were in a good mood, Situ Nan asked, "Let you succeed?"

"Well. It was hard to settle Li De's neighbors." Song Ziwen said.

"Of course, Li Zongren and the others corrupted Lao Tzu's military expenses, and they ran to the front line? I hope that Sichuan will be taken down as soon as possible and the southwestern region will be digested as soon as possible."

Lin Yimin said.

"The emergence of the Tax Police Corps is largely due to the Shanghai Concession. When we take back Shanghai, the system will slowly return to normal." Song Ziwen said sharply.

Situ Nan didn't comment, but just smiled faintly: "I can't come in a hurry."

After a while, he said with a serious face: "I am looking for you to discuss things. It is mainly about the legal currency joining the US dollar group. I want to hear your opinions. Is the time right?"

"It is necessary that American capital is more tolerant than European powers. This will help us attract foreign capital, introduce technology, and develop industry better and faster.

At this point, Nanhua is already ahead of us."Song Ziwen nodded without hesitation.

Joining the US dollar group and pegging the legal currency to the US dollar, although there are some drawbacks, the benefits are even greater.

"Needless to say, the boss has money in his pocket, and there are many Yankees spreading money all over the world. It just happens that we are short of money. Isn't this out of sync?"

Lin Yimin smiled and slapped Situ Nan's flattery.

He also serves as one of the leaders of the US-China Consortium, among which the mysterious Lin Yimin has a more profound experience than Song Ziwen.

The Wuhan government will abolish the two reforms and rectify the financial order without strong financial support.Joining the US Dollar Group facilitates the US-China Consortium to introduce massive amounts of US dollars to domestic investment, which greatly increases capital operating costs.

"That's good. By the way, there is also gold, which has already been shipped, so you can figure out the rest!" Situ Nan said.

"Well. I also have some gold mines in my hands. I should get a lot of output after reorganization, which is enough for us to issue legal currency."

Before Song Ziwen could answer, Lin Yimin nodded confidently.

Situ Nan smiled slightly, and was very happy to cooperate with each other, and Song Ziwen and the others could understand many things without his effort.

... With the efforts of Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin and others, the Wuhan government established the first fiscal budget system in China's history, and under the leadership of the government, it has planned to build industry.

Railway-based infrastructure construction is still one of the key points. In this regard, China has left too many homework and must make up for it.

The first railway project centered on Wuhan, radiating Huangshi, Xiaogan and other surrounding cities and counties, and built a railway network around Wuhan. The first phase of 20 million fiat currency bonds were sold out in Wuhan, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places in less than half a year. Exciting.

The savvy American-Chinese Bank will naturally not let go of raising funds in Nanyang. Those Chinese wealthy owners who are optimistic about railways in Singapore, Medan, Xintangshan and other places, after hearing about the railway bonds launched by American-Chinese Bank, also generously bought rail bonds, which greatly prospered. South China’s bond market.

The remaining Han-Shanghai, Guangdong-Shanghai and other major railway projects have been launched one after another. As Situ Nan predicted, businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang have worked hard to build many sections of the railway in the southeast coastal area.

Previously, the Zhi Gong Party government successfully continued the construction of the Guangdong-Han Railway, showing the government's ability to govern. Song Ziwen declared that it would learn the lessons of the Qing Dynasty railway plan. The Wuhan government promised to guarantee the rights of investors.

This has won the trust of the people. After all, from Guangzhou to Wuhan, the Zhigong Party government has always paid attention to credibility, saying that it can be done, the Guangdong-Guizhou Railway that was built as a whole is a model among them.

The new round of railway plans has reawakened the enthusiasm of the people. Railway bonds and stocks have sold well, and the financial markets of the railway steel industry in the financial markets of Wuhan, Shanghai and Guangzhou have been rising.

Affluent areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang even raised their own funds to build railways.

Southern China has become a large construction site, and the clanging of hammers and rumbling machines converge into a moving symphony.Perhaps, for thousands of years, the dragon that was castrated by various factors has finally awakened and slowly accumulated strength.

Stimulated by the railway plan, the development of iron and steel has been particularly rapid. The expansion of the Hanyang Iron Plant and the Angang Steel Project have been launched one after another.

In order to build these two largest steel complexes in China, the Wuhan government and the US-China Consortium took great pains to raise funds from the Chinese society, while also focusing on overseas, New York and London.

Under Situ Nan's instructions, the Wuhan government, the American China Consortium, and Wuhan Industrial Group borrowed heavily from Wall Street in various names, borrowing one billion US dollars before and after!

Most of these funds fall in the pockets of American equipment manufacturers, such as Bethlehem, Cummins and other William Consortium system companies.

The Chinese were burdened with debts and got a ship of machinery and engineers from the United States across the ocean.

Wall Street Bank paid a bunch of astronomical U.S. dollars to get a fast-expanding market. Their money came from American people. After turning around on the books, they returned to the pockets of manufacturers close to them.

After receiving the contract from the Chinese, the manufacturers borrowed money from the bank to expand the scale of production and improve production technology. The money paid by the Chinese was used to offset the debt owed to the bank.

There is no doubt that the most active of them is no more than Robles.

In the telegram that Robles sent to Situ Nan, he was very excited: "As your partner, I hate your indifference to our business. But looking at your contribution to the company this time, I decided not to nag You are back to New York. But you'd better come back for an interview soon, or I will go to you to settle the account!"

Instructed by Situ Nan, most of the loans are long-term loans, with the shortest term after 1929, all settled in US dollars.This did utter the Americans.

The William Consortium has the most investment in China, and the overseas bond issuance plan is handed over to Robles. The two major steel bases in Wuhan and Ma'anshan also involve the participation of Bethlehem under the William Consortium.

Bethlehem provides the most advanced equipment and technology management in the United States for this purpose.

Especially management, modern scientific management is more important than machinery and equipment to a certain extent, and can profoundly promote the development of Chinese enterprises to modern enterprises, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the Westernization Movement.

On this day, a group of particularly important people came from Wuhan. It was an American business mission from afar.

It has a huge momentum and a strong lineup, with officials in Washington, financiers in New York, and representatives of various industrial giants in the United States.

Some of them are member companies or friendly cooperative enterprises of the William Consortium.

"I have to say, buddy, you are a crazy guy. Now you have successfully ventured again and got a huge market. I like your railway plan."

After investigating the development of South China, Robles joined the American business delegation and rushed to the Situ Mansion in Wuhan, and settled accounts with Situ Nan by the way.Situ Nan handed over the company to Robles, and did not show up for a long time, so he went to Asia to be happy.

"This is a grand plan, no less than the Pacific Railroad plan in the United States. You will love it."

Situ Nan was very happy to see Robes, stepped forward to embrace this reassuring friend and partner, and after seated he gave a detailed account of the railway plan launched by the Wuhan government.

Robles listened carefully, his brain quickly calculated the gains and losses, and said: "It's a very exciting plan. I have to admit that I was shocked.

Although the investment amount is a bit large, your oil business is doing well, and Wells Fargo has sufficient funds for you to splurge.As for Robles, as long as the political situation in China is stable, I am confident to take this business."

Robles promised that he did come for the Wuhan government's railway plan to see if China's investment environment here is not as reliable as Nanhua, and then consider whether to invest based on the actual situation, and Situ Nan's words are undoubtedly the most convincing. .

"Can you guarantee that the Beijing regime will not pose a threat to our railway plan?" Robles said with some worry.

"Of course not! Is it possible that you are afraid that the Beiyang government will make things difficult?" Situ Nan said.

"Haha." Robles smiled freely, realizing that there was too much worry just now.
