The journey starts from the Titanic

The Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium formed by Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing boldly invested in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway was also inspired by the mainland's industrial plan to invest capital from Shanghai, which is a small corner, to the mainland.

The Chinese people, especially the wealthy, are keen on the concessions, simply because the concessions can provide security protection, so that their lives and property are protected, which leads to the abnormal prosperity of the concessions.

However, the increasingly prosperous concession will in turn expand further into the Chinese realm, forming a cycle of evil surnames, which is embarrassing.The rise of Zhi Gong Dang finally made people see the hope of breaking this embarrassing situation.

The two were silent for a while, and suddenly felt that they were thinking too far, and finally took their thoughts back.

"Actually, Meihua has a lot of industries in Shanghai, and it is dominant. Dasheng Textile, Meihua Petroleum, and Meihua Securities are not inferior to the famous foreign companies on the Bund.

In addition, major South China companies such as Sincere Department Store, Nanyang Brothers Tobacco, and Qianyi Rubber have inexhaustible relationships with the Meihua Consortium.It is also closely related to the Zhi Gong Party government."

Zhang Jingjiang couldn't help but analyze.

"How come there are such freaks as Meihua? There is almost no business they don't intervene? I think they are better than the foreign firms like HSBC, Jardine and Taikoo combined!"

Yu Qiaqing replied with envy.

"Well, not so, how can those people break the soil and stand on their own in the South China Sea, you must know that it is the back garden of the great powers, even the weakest Netherlands, how can they be regarded as the world's hegemons!"

Zhang Jingjiang shook his head. When he thought of the rise of Zhi Gong Dang due to Meihua and Meihua-related industrial companies, he insisted on suppressing the most promising political force, the Kuomintang, with no room for development. He said no in his heart. The feeling of being unclear.

Because the current situation is exactly what he wants to see.

"Hehe, the railway is completed, everyone is relieved. In the past two years, your banking industry has been under a lot of pressure, it's not easy!"

Zhang Jingjiang smiled and gently patted the back of Yu Qiaqing's hand to show encouragement.

"Well, if you continue to increase his morale and destroy your own prestige, today is not your and my celebration meeting but the crusade meeting?" Yu Qiaqing nodded in sympathy.

Although he is known as the Barefoot God of Wealth, the Siming Bank he founded is one of the few large-scale Chinese commercial banks in Shanghai with millions of assets. When Zhang Jingjiang came to the door with the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway plan, he hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth to spend money. 5 million shares of Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway.

This caused him to be criticized by some shareholders on the board of directors. After all, it is rare in China for a large project such as the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway to cost tens of millions to be independently organized by a Chinese businessman. If it fails, Siming Bank will be greatly injured, and most people dare not dare. Take risks easily.

"Haha. Today we are exaggerated. Foreigners have always been arrogant, and now we dare not underestimate the strength of our Shanghai Chinese businessmen."

There was a red light on Zhang Jingjiang’s thin face, showing his inner excitement. After a sip of wine, he snorted coldly: "And those Cantonese guys, didn’t they just make some money by building the Guangdong-Han railway a few years ago? It’s just a very remarkable look, saying that our Shanghai businessmen will only act as compradors for foreigners, or engage in pawnshops and speculation in real estate. In fact, they are short-sighted and can’t do big things. They don’t have the courage to do big projects. Even Shanghai does real estate. Don't you want to go to them to buy reinforced concrete in Guangdong and Guangxi?"

"Yeah. I was suffocated at the time, or I got on your thief ship when my head was hot, and threw most of my net worth in. Now I think about the annoyed expressions of those cowards and feel comfortable. Didn’t make up my mind to participate in our actions."

Yu Qiaqing smiled happily, and secretly estimated that the railway had just been completed, and there would be no gains for a while, but the railway shares in her hand had already doubled four or five times, or even more than ten times.

"Those timid guys don't mention it, but our railway company will develop resources along the railway. Many plans still need their participation. We still have to smile."

Zhang Jingjiang waved his hand. As the major shareholder and chairman of the railway company, he is qualified to say such a thing.

"Haha, who said no?" Yu Qiaqing nodded and smiled.

He is very promising for the railway company. The Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway has become the economic lifeline of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang region and can connect the prosperous Jiangsu-Zhejiang region. Siming Bank is undoubtedly one of the leaders in the industrial construction of this region through its participation in the construction of this railway. One.

Chapter 91 The Zhe-Jiang Railway Continued

"Haha. It's strange to say that just such a railway has brought the hearts of most businessmen in Shanghai together, and the cooperation between them has become closer. Nowadays, both foreigners and Cantonese newspapers call us Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium. Up."

When Zhang Jingjiang said this, her heart was secretly surging.

He is not only a businessman, but also a politician, with his own ambitions, but it is a pity that his optimistic Sun Wen passed away prematurely, leaving only a separate Kuomintang, which makes people sigh.

Now that the Zhi Gong Dang is in full swing, the Wuhan government’s various measures have shown iron and steel ambitions, and it has not given the Kuomintang a chance to compete.

However, this is not a bad thing for Zhang Jingjiang, because he does not need to "waste" funds to support the Kuomintang revolution, and there is no political figure worthy of his support in the Kuomintang.

Investing funds in industrial construction will get economic returns and political benefits.

It is said that the Wuhan government intends to support him in running for the governor of Zhejiang Province. In this way, he is very hopeful that he will support the revolution from behind the scenes and walk directly to the front of the stage, realizing the ideal of saving the country through industry.

"Industry has saved the country. It has been more than ten or twenty years since the Republic of China. In the past, when the Northern Warlords ruled, we merchants were often squeezed out by military fighters in the north.

The situation is much better now. The Zhi Gong Dang is holding high the banner of saving the country by industry. The story behind it is a group of businessmen from Nanyang and Guangdong. Although they are not very close to us, they have indeed made a lot of achievements over the years.

In the future, the status of businessmen and capitalists in this country will increase, or this is a change that has not been seen in three thousand years!"

Zhang Jingjiang sighed, he probably made up his mind. Obviously, the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway is only the beginning, and he needs his contribution to the larger-scale industrial construction in Zhejiang and Shanghai.

As for how to organize the participation of Chinese business capital in Shanghai, Zhang Jingjiang found a way from the construction of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway. If he can add an official position, he will be more sure of using the power of the government to promote industrial construction in the region.

Yu Qiaqing probably understands Zhang Jingjiang's ideas and is willing to deepen their friendship, which is good for both parties.

"It's a pity that Wuhan is too far away from Shanghai. The central government is full of Cantonese. Our influence in politics is too weak."

Yu Qiaqing said with some regret, raised her head, and looked at Zhang Jingjiang expectantly.

Speaking of which, as the veteran of the League, Zhang Jingjiang’s political influence should not be underestimated. If he came forward to integrate the political power of the KMT, plus the financial power of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang financial groups, the KMT might not be able to replace the ruling position of the Zhi Gong Party, but Becoming an important political force is certain.

This idea was a bit early. According to Zhang Jingjiang's indifferent surname, he didn't want to fall into political struggle and drag down his industrial plan, but even if Yu Qiqing didn't say it, he didn't have this plan in his heart.

"The current domestic situation is quite good. The various measures taken by the central government are conducive to the development of the national industry, which is also the result of our revolution that year."

Zhang Jingjiang just smiled faintly, not forgetting to remind, "Don't forget, our railway company still owes more than 10 million debts to Wuhan Industrial Group.

In addition to funds, our construction technicians, railroad tracks, locomotives, and railway company management are all inseparable from Wuhan's support.If they annoy them, our lives will be miserable."

"That's true. Meihua has always been strong. We can't turn our face with them."

Yu Qiaqing nodded and thought: Although the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway was built by people like her, in fact, it cannot escape the control of the US-China Consortium and the Wuhan Central Government in all aspects.

If the US-China Consortium and the Wuhan Central Government join forces to squeeze their heroes out of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Company, this is not impossible.

Thinking of the debts carried by the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Company, his scalp numb, realizing that he is too optimistic, and secretly made up his mind to test the reaction of the US-China Consortium. If people come to pick peaches, they will be excluded from the competition. Then you must plan well.

Yu Qiaqing asked again: "Lao Zhang, if the other party wants to buy a stake in the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway Company, what should we do?"

Zhang Jingjiang frowned and said this to his heart. For Yu Qiaqing and others, who had just tasted the sweetness of the railway, they were reluctant to watch the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway being "collected" by the US-China Consortium.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Jingjiang shook his head, seemingly unable to think of any good way to prevent the US-China Consortium from infiltrating the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway, "I hope their appetite will not be too big."

In history, the "Ning-Han Confluence" Nanjing Jiangji National Government was able to subdue the Wangji National Government in Wuhan because of the support of these Shanghai businessmen.

Shanghai's taxation is even more a powerful weapon for Jiang Ji's Nanjing National Government to defeat other warlord forces in the civil war-the silver bullet.

Now history has turned a corner. Jiang Ji's Nanjing National Government no longer appears. The Wuhan Zhi Gong Party government has not forgotten to win over the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums in Shanghai since 1924, encouraging and guiding the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums to invest in domestic industrial construction, and Shanghai businessmen raise funds. The construction of the Zhejiang-Jiangxi Railway has strong support from the Wuhan government.

Just behind this generous support, it also means spare no effort to penetrate.

At the moment, investors in the clubhouse are optimistic about the prospects of the railway. They have reason to be optimistic, because they are small shareholders with weak power. Even if the Zhe-Jiang Railway Company changes its ownership, their interests will not be affected.

Only major shareholders such as Zhang Jingjiang and Yu Qiaqing understand the deep-seated crisis. They did not express this faint worry. On the contrary, their major shareholders greeted their guests enthusiastically, with optimistic and confident smiles everywhere, calling on investors to do more The funds continue to invest in development projects along the railway.
