The journey starts from the Titanic

"Nothing. Just talked about the school. He asked me, there are many foreign students in Shanghai Saint Paul University, do I like foreign girls?"

Jiang Jingguo blushed, hesitated, and looked at his father's face, that dark face seemed a little unhappy.My father is a serious person, so it would be too frivolous.

"How do you answer?" Jiang Wei said with a straight face.

"I said it was okay, but he seemed very happy to hear it."

Jiang Jingguo replied truthfully, but he did not dare to go further, because Mr. Situ also talked about the beauty of foreign girls and encouraged him to go for a walk and learn more.

Thinking of studying in the United States, Jiang Jingguo suddenly had such a glimmer of expectation in his heart.

"Asshole, read me Zeng Guofan's book ten times after I go back." Jiang Weiji's mouth flicked, and he was a little angry, but he said again when he thought of his son going to the countryside after going abroad, "but Mr. Situ also has some truth, you should also listen ."

"Also, walk with Uncle Wang more, he knows a lot of people." Jiang Weiji said before he was busy.

The shrewd man knew that Situ Nan might not have time to pay attention to his son, so the future of his son might fall more on Wang Chen.

Situ Nan didn't know the conversation between Jiang and his son, otherwise he would steal secretly.

Compared with the wily and calculating old Jiang, he is more willing to come into contact with the young Jiang.

Fortunately, Xiao Jiang, if it were not for the appearance of Situ Nan, it is estimated that Lao Tzu would become the number one reactionary, and he himself would suffer in the icy Soviet Union, living fearfully in the shadow of Stalin every day for ten years.

Chapter 96: Jiang Weiji's Business

After removing the small ripples of Situ Nan, the banquet continued.

As Situ Nan said, Jiang Weiji was very busy. This legendary figure was gradually re-acquainted. A revolutionary young man, a securities merchant, and was forced to join the Youth Gang after bankruptcy, then disappeared strangely, and suddenly arrived in Nanyang a few years later. In two or three years, he sprang up in the South China political arena and became a rising star. Such an experience can be made into a movie.

Perhaps only the person concerned can appreciate the ups and downs here.

"Time flies, it's been five or six years in the blink of an eye. Everyone has changed a lot. It's great to see you."

Yu Qiaqing affectionately took Jiang Weiji's hand and met again with a lot of emotion. Looking at Jiang Weiji's familiar face, she couldn't help but think of the scene of the two sides cooperating in stock trading in Shanghai.

Back then, Yu Qiaqing helped Jiang Weiji guarantee debts, introduced Jiang Weiji to Huang Jinrong personally, and became a member of the Qinggang.

Jiang Weiji kept this love in his heart, but after an accident happened and Jiang Weiji's whereabouts were unknown, the two sides broke the news.

"I was affected by the turmoil that year, and I went to study abroad for a few years, and I have been thinking about Shanghai. Later, I transferred to Nanyang, and by coincidence, I have made some achievements."

Jiang Weiji said with emotion.The story that happened to me is really bad for outsiders.His tone was as plain as possible, but he couldn't calm down.

After chatting for a while, everyone's attitudes got close a lot. It was a bit like a brotherhood in Shanghai.

During this period, Yu Qiaqing and others couldn't help asking Jiang Weiji about Nanhua. Jiang Weiji had been in Nanhua for several years and he was a member of the government. He certainly knew much more about Nanhua than ordinary people.

"Zhiqing, is there really gold everywhere in Nanhua like the newspaper said?" Yu Qiaqing asked with a smile.

Gold everywhere?Jiang Weiji smiled inwardly.He looked at Yu Qiaqing, Zhang Jingjiang and others next to him. These people looked at him and waited for him to answer.

From the eyes of these wealthy people, he saw respect, showing that his status had improved, and he was no longer the little adjutant who wandered around behind Sun Wen.

We had a good relationship back then, and we also traded stocks in partnership, but Jiang Weiji had to rely more on rich buddies like Yu Qiaqing, and the status of the two sides was not equal.Today, he is truly capable of these people, even looking down on them.

Jiang Weiji's mood is even more comfortable, but his face is not arrogant, and he smiles: "It is true that Nanhua is full of gold, otherwise millions of compatriots will go to Nanyang every year?

South China is rich in resources, convenient transportation, and the government encourages investment. It is the fastest growing country in Asia!

Take the capital Xintangshan as an example. Within ten years after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the population exceeded one million. After the completion of the first phase of the Iron and Steel Industrial Zone, the output of steel reached 500,000 tons. Focusing on the steel industry, the new Tangshan’s machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, and construction industries It is showing explosive growth and has now surpassed Singapore to become the largest and most modern city in Nanyang."

Jiang Weiji said that he was proud.The so-called homecoming is inevitable to show off to fellow villagers.

These days I have been staying in Shanghai. Compared with when he left, Shanghai has made a lot of progress in development, but compared with New Tangshan, it is undoubtedly lagging behind.

This backwardness is not reflected in the scale of the city, but in the urban industrial development and the mental state of the citizens.

"Listen to you, these people of us have been sitting on the well over the past few years, and it's still not as good as your self-reliance and self-improvement." Zhang Jingjiang said with some shame.

"Jing is too modest, and I just felt it."

Jiang Weiji hurriedly said, "Now the domestic development is also rapid, Wuhan, Guangzhou, Nanjing and other cities are listed as the government's key industrial cities, and Meihua's investment in these cities is not less than that of New Tangshan.

Perhaps the only one lagging behind is Shanghai, but I guess the government temporarily took into account the complicated situation in Shanghai and did not include Shanghai as the first construction target."

Zhang Jingjiang nodded, Jiang Weiji's words came to his heart.The Wuhan government gives people the impression that investment in heavy industry is very radical, but it is conservative and cautious in development planning. The lack of investment in Shanghai is the most obvious example.

The most objectionable thing is that Wuhan has never shown its ambition to reunify the whole country. It must be said that it has disappointed the people, especially the people in the north who are eager to be a "master".

"Whether in South China or in China, Zhi Gong Party has always been pragmatic and stable."

Jiang Weiji commented, and then said, "However, when I came back from Nanhua, I heard an interesting news that the arsenal there produced two cannons, originally to be installed in New Tangshan, but they were shipped to Shanghai Wusongkou Fort for some reason. ."

After Jiang Weiji finished speaking, he seemed a little puzzled when he saw Zhang Jingjiang and others, and he explained: "Tsk, it's not an ordinary cannon. It is a cannon produced by Krupp's joint-venture steel plant in South China. The caliber exceeds two hundred millimeters. No matter how sturdy the battleship is, a cannonball hits the bones!"

Jiang Weiji has always regarded himself as a soldier. He once worked as a steel worker in the United States. He understood the power of the two Krupp cannons and the meaning behind them better than anyone present.

Regardless of the fact that the ships of the great powers can easily enter and exit the Huangpu River, when the Chinese set up the Krupp cannon at Wusongkou and can block the Yangtze River estuary at any time, then foreign warships can unscrupulously treat Shanghai as their safari. Ranch?

As far as South China is concerned, the ability to produce large-caliber artillery is the result of the capital of the US-China consortium and technical cooperation between Germany, and represents a breakthrough in South China's military industry.

In the case of weak naval forces, the emergence of large-caliber coastal defense artillery means that South China has the ability to protect its long coastline.

Zhang Jingjiang opened his mouth and looked at Jiang Weiji, whose face couldn't hide his pride, but didn't say anything.Hearing what Jiang Weiji said, he understood everything.

It's just that such important news, unexpectedly learned from a "foreigner" like Jiang Weiji, suddenly felt an awkward feeling in my heart.

He didn't think it was ironic, he just felt that his news was too closed, and he didn't even know such a major event?What deployment has the Wuhan government made behind the scenes?

Zhang Jingjiang suddenly had an impulse and wanted to know everything.

"This is good news. The erection of a fort at Wusongkou is not a small deterrent to foreigners."

Yu Qiaqing smiled as soon as she rolled her eyes and cursed in her heart: Those people are still the insidious urinary surnames, they like to cover up everything, and suddenly burst out, which can surprise people, just like in 1924, when they suddenly commanded the Northern Expedition. He beat down the water dog and brought Wu Peifu, Qi Xieyuan, Lu Yongxiang and other warlords in one pot. The thunder was too fast to unify the south, including Shanghai.

When people thought they would continue the Northern Expedition and unify the country, they died down and stopped using their swords and soldiers. Instead, they were large-scale and dazzling industrial construction.

In a blink of an eye, it has been almost two years. Now that the Wuhan government is building a fort in Wusongkou, does it mean that the Wuhan government is ready to make big moves in Shanghai?

Yu Qiqing and Zhang Jingjiang looked at each other, and at the same time saw shock and a tacit smile in each other's eyes.

"Huai Coal goes eastward." Yu Qiaqing said.

"Huainan Railway." Zhang Jingjiang said.

The expressions are slightly different, but the ideas are the same.The two chuckled, there was a tacit understanding.

Jiang Weiji asked why. Zhang Jingjiang smiled and said nothing. Yu Qiaqing explained with a smile: “Liu Hongsheng of Meihua Mining revealed to us that he intends to develop the coal mines in Huainan. Construction of the Huainan Railway will soon start, and Shanghai is the main source of Huai Coal. consumer market."
