The journey starts from the Titanic

Soong Ching Ling also asked casually, and she was a little surprised when she heard what her younger brother said: coal, railways, and power plants are not common private enterprises that can participate. Ziliang knows so clearly that the Song family is also participating, right?

"Talk about you, people outside say you have become the king of matches?" Song Qingling joked.

"It's okay! It's not like a king or a king."

Song Ziliang said lightly, actually a little proud in his heart, "Later, the match factory became bigger and bigger, and new factories were opened in Wuhan, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places. Now it is the largest match factory in China. However, the pressure is also quite high. Recently, the company has lost a lot in price wars with Japanese and Swedish match companies.

Song Ziliang was a little embarrassed when he said that, he said that he had lost a lot, but he did not look unhappy.

"It's a loss? It doesn't matter, right? How can Ziwen and Meiling stand by?" Soong Chingling blurted out, feeling a little anxious.

"It's not necessary for the elder brothers to come forward in this matter. Besides, this is the company's strategy, which was planned long ago. Even if it loses money, it will take back the match market from foreigners. Foreigners lose more than us."

Song Ziwen explained with a smile, somewhat proud: "We are fighting locally, supported by the government and banks, and we can afford it."

"Oh!"

The family in my impression is not poor but not a rich family. Just now when Ziliang said that the company was losing money, Soong Ching Ling was instinctively worried.After hearing Ziliang's words, she sighed and felt relieved.

She raised her head and looked at Ziliang again. Seeing that Ziliang's face was full of confidence, she remembered: Today is different. Some people have grown up and changed a lot. You can no longer look at them with the eyes of the past.Although they have different ideas, she loves this family anyway.It's just that they haven't returned for many years, how would they treat my daughter who ran away from home?

Thinking of this, Soong Ching Ling felt a little nervous.It was not for others' forgiveness, but the affection between each other made her unable to give up.When a person is away, no matter the scenery or the downfall, there are also things that will remember those people at home at some point.

Soong Ching Ling was a little bit unconscious, raised her head and looked at Song Ziliang's confident and enthusiastic face, her heart warmed slightly.

"It's a bit unfortunate. The eldest sister's family and the fourth sister were in Shanghai a few days ago. They have been waiting for you for a long time. They went to Wuhan if you didn't come.

The eldest sister-in-law went to Nanyang a few years ago to serve as the vice president of Meihua Petroleum Company. After returning to China, they formed an oil company.There may be oil fields on the Jianghan Plain, so I didn’t rush to make achievements. I went to investigate after I stayed in Shanghai for a long time."

Song Ziliang felt a little regretful, and sighed softly after thinking of something, "The country is different from South China, not every place is Sumatra, and I don't know what the eldest sister thinks, so I am willing to give up a good future in the US China Petroleum Company." Obviously, he Not very optimistic about the choice of the older brother-in-law.

Soong Ching Ling smiled and said: "The eldest sister and brother-in-law are smart people, and the choices they make must have been carefully thought out. When do they need you to be a kid to worry about them?" I thought: The big sister's family went to South China Soong Ching Ling I know, I thought about it a lot before, but now listening to Ziliang's tone, it turns out that the eldest sister and the others are not easy!

"What I'm talking about is, why is it my turn to worry about the eldest sister and them. In addition to the oil business, there are also Yuhua Bank and Yuhua Company."

Song Ziliang smiled and patted his forehead. His unfounded worries just now seemed to be a bit redundant.

Soong Ching Ling looked at her younger brother with a gentle smile on her face. This younger brother also had some immature times. To put it bluntly, he was still a little younger.It can be seen from his words that he has grown up very smoothly under the protection of others over the years.However, the younger brother's surname is not arrogant, and Song Qingling is not too worried that he will fall into a big fight after he has succeeded.

"My eldest brother married the seventh Miss of the Sheng family a few years ago. After he went to Wuhan, he had a mess, and rarely returned to Shanghai."

Song Ziliang's expression became more serious when he said that, he paused for a while and looked at Soong Ching Ling.The eldest brother Song Ziwen and the fourth sister Song Meiling did not join the KMT, but chose the Lizhi Gong Party.

In the past few years, the Song family's financial resources have become stronger and stronger. Mr. Sun rarely interacted with there before. They belonged to different camps. Now they are thriving here, and after Mr. Sun's death, the Kuomintang will not be able to succeed.

The Song family's financial resources could not be used there, and instead they became competitors. It would be impossible for both parties to have no grudges.

Song Ziliang always had a question: Why didn't the second sister go home and ask for help?Is it inconvenience or other reasons?If she speaks, the family won't be indifferent, right?

What is the surname of a politician?Song Ziliang probably knew something. Even if the second sister couldn't speak up, it didn't mean that the second sister-in-law didn't have this idea in his heart. After all, the Song family used to be one of his financial support.

Even if the couple didn't want to talk to the family, how could those Kuomintang people worry about the wealth of the Song family?

The eldest brother withstood the pressure and let the other side retreat in the face of difficulties, or did the second sister and his wife resist the pressure from the party and insist not to reach out to the Song family?

This question flashed through Song Ziliang's mind, silently looking at the tough face of the second sister, but did not speak.

Politics, this is the biggest disagreement between the second sister and the family, which has vaguely become a knot between each other. The second sister has been living outside these years and refused to come back. How much is it because of this?

Anyway, she is my second sister and can help her as much as possible!

Song Ziliang secretly decided.

Seeing that she wasn't upset at all, Song Ziliang continued, "Big Brother has a heavy burden, and I can't help him too much, so I will try my best to do my own thing so as not to make him feel bad. The same is true for my fourth sister."

Song Ziliang was afraid that the second sister would feel a little uncomfortable. When speaking, his tone was as flat as possible, and he was prepared to talk more about housework.

Soong Ching Ling explained the situation of Song Ziwen and Soong Meiling after seeing her younger brother two or three sentences. She was a little surprised. The glory of the Song family was mainly earned by these two. Song Ziliang could refrain from talking too much. This is also rare, afraid of excitement. Yourself?

She smiled and looked at Song Ziliang with a smile, and said: "Just these two sentences? If Ziwen knew that the prime minister of the cabinet only got your brother's comment, "I married a sister-in-law and went to Wuhan, I am very busy." I'm happy. There is also Meiling. She has also made a lot of achievements in recent years. Not to mention the publishing and newspaper companies. It is obvious to all in terms of social welfare and health."

Soong Ching Ling's tone was very admiring, she gave Song Ziliang a white look, and groaned, "Second sister is not a person with a small belly, you are afraid that I will be upset if you hide your words?"

"Hehe."

Song Ziliang grinned and did not deny it.

Now that the second sister had said it all, he did not hide it, and said a lot about Song Ziwen and Song Meiling, including the relationship between Situ Nan and the Song family, and the unknown secrets between the Song family and the Meihua consortium.

Of course he has reservations. Song Ziliang doesn't know too much about the core secret, but what he revealed, even Song Qingling, who is accustomed to the storm, was moved.Apart from politics, how many major events did their Song family participate in?

Soong Ching Ling somewhat understood why Song Ziliang said that after Song Ziwen went to Wuhan, he rarely returned to Shanghai.

"You said they invested 100 million US dollars on the railway this year? Will they invest more next?"

Soong Ching Ling suddenly asked Song Ziliang.

"There are no less. I also listened to my eldest brother. Now the southern provinces are building railways everywhere, and many troops are involved. The investment is solid. There is no discount. I can't say how much money is invested. .

The third sister once said that she had missed her mouth. She said that if she used the money to equip the army, she could kill the warlords in the north.For this reason, the two seem to be not too happy."

Speaking of this, Song Ziliang was a little awake, he was too excited, and accidentally missed his mouth, "Don't say it was me, or they would say me." He smiled slightly at Soong Ching Ling.

"Good!" Song Qingling nodded.I was a little shocked. The money to kill those warlords included some troops controlled by the Kuomintang, right?

Although not much, it is very precious.In particular, after the rightists in the party were gradually incorporated by the Zhi Gong Party, there were even fewer idealistic troops left under their control.

It seems that I really need to have a good talk with Ziwen and Meiling.Thinking like this in her heart, Song Qingling didn't show her thoughts on her face.

"Where did the money for the railway come from? Foreigners wouldn't be so kind, would they?"

Soong Ching Ling asked again.Although the overseas Chinese in Nanyang have some money, shouldn't they be able to spend so much money?Could it be that the interests of the Wuhan government's railway were exchanged from foreigners?Isn't this attracting wolves into the room?

Soong Ching Ling has heard of the rumors in the society that it borrowed a lot of money from foreign banks when the Southern Railway was booming.At this moment, she suddenly thought of her favorite man, who was also ambitious to overhaul the railway, but unfortunately he was too ambitious and was misunderstood as a "cannon" by the world.

Now it is her younger brother who inherits the dream of her lover. Soong Ching Ling has to worry a little, for fear that something big will happen.Wasn't it because of the railway that caused the Xinhai side?

With doubts in her heart, Song Qingling's round white face frowned. Looking at Song Ziliang, he must be one of the insiders.

Song Ziliang was silent for a while, and probably understood the second sister’s concern, and said slowly: “The government and railway companies do have plans to borrow from foreign consortia and issue railroad bonds in New York and London, but you don’t have to worry. Although our Song family is said to be pro-UK and American by outsiders , But it is always a Chinese, and the eldest brother is not Yuan Shikai and Duan Qirui, and will definitely not allow the second Manchurian railway to appear."

Song Ziliang said decisively, with a sneer across his face, a little proud of it.

Soong Ching Ling didn't know much about the economy, so she was a little worried after hearing some rumors outside.She was worried for Song Ziwen, who has always been an honest person. In the face of such a major event as the railway, it is easy to cause an uncontrollable disturbance if he is not careful.

She didn't see Song Ziwen's worries, and she couldn't express it. After listening to Song Ziliang's words, her heart froze: Ziliang has confidence in Ziwen, and my worries seem to be a bit unfounded.

She smiled and calmed down the atmosphere: "I really don't know where your confidence comes from? I have taken out my sister's former enemy. I am afraid. Foreigners are all wolves. If they are not satisfied with their ambitions, borrow money from them. It's difficult."
