The journey starts from the Titanic

Due to the boundless river, Du Yuesheng felt that the future of himself and the Qinggang was like the river in front of him, and he needed a reliable pier to get ashore.

"I knew you were here!"

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and his thoughts were interrupted. Du Yuesheng turned his head and saw that it was Yu Qiaqing. He quickly reduced the worry on his face and said to Yu Qiaqing with a smiling face: "Wu Songkou is getting more and more lively, far away. You can also see the lively construction sites on the shore, the machines are rumbling all the time, this Shanghai Xingang is really a bit of momentum!"

Yu Qiaqing nodded, and Du Yuesheng asked again: "Who would have thought that Meihua Company would dare to erect a steel plant by the sea?"

Looking at the nearly kilometer-long wharf construction site not far ahead along the coast, Du Yuesheng said that he was deeply moved by Meihua's courage, in terms of scale.Xingang Wharf has more than Shiliupu Wharf on the Bund.It is a pity that such a piece of fat is not something that the Green Gang can get involved.

Yu Qiaqing nodded.Following the direction of Du Yuesheng’s fingers, he corrected Du Yuesheng’s mistakes. He smiled and said, “It’s not the iron factory, but the new site of the Jiangnan Shipyard. The Jiangnan Shipyard has moved from the Gaochang Temple to the seaside. At the steel plant, they are now building a 50,000-ton shipyard. In the future, Shanghai’s 10,000-ton ship will be built here."

Speaking of which.There was a glimmer of expectation on Yu Qiaqing's face. After all, Jiangnan Shipyard fell into the hands of Meihua Company, hoping that it would return to its former glory.

Du Yuesheng knew that Yu Qiaqing's main purpose in going to Wuhan was to purchase a batch of new ships for the China Merchants Shipbuilding Group, which he had recently succeeded in. Wuhan's shipbuilding industry, driven by the Hanyang Iron Works, had already surpassed the stagnant Shanghai, even the ships they were on board. It also comes from Wuhan Shipyard.

He moved in his heart and said: "I didn't expect that there are so many ships running on the Yangtze River. It seems that the shipping business is very prosperous. The China Merchants Shipbuilding Bureau is handed over to you, God of Wealth, and it will soon become popular again!"

Du Yuesheng said with some envy.He has money, but shipping companies like China Merchants Steamship.It was not his turn to get involved, but Yu Qiaqing was cheaper.

"According to you. Haha." Yu Qiaqing smiled confidently, as if he was itched by Du Yuesheng's compliment. Who doesn't know that he is now focusing on the China Merchants Shipbuilding Bureau?

Excitedly, he patted the railing, and Yu Qiaqing said proudly: "You tell me, I am going to Wuhan to bring back two ships like this one."

Yu Qiaqing seemed to have confidence in Wuhan Shipbuilding, gently stroking her palm on the railing.The merchant ship they took was 5,000 tonnage and was used for both passenger and cargo. The cost of each was about one million yuan, and the range was 7,000 nautical miles. The engine was a popular three-lift reciprocating steam engine, and its performance was on par with the international average.

"Although the tonnage is in the mid-range, it is not easy for domestic merchant ships to reach this level. What is even more rare is that steel plates and engines do not need to be imported at Wuhan Shipbuilding, which greatly reduces production costs and the prices are nearly half cheaper than those purchased abroad. China Merchants Ships If there were ten such ships, I would dare to compare with those British guys from Jardine Swire! So that they would know that the Huangpu River belongs to China!"

Yu Qiaqing smiled confidently, looking forward to it, and didn't care about showing his ambition in front of Du Yuesheng.I have to say that his plan has considerable feasibility, because the US-China consortium, through cooperation with Bethlehem Shipbuilding and Krupp, has introduced a large number of steel and shipbuilding related technologies, and has mastered the 10,000-ton shipbuilding technology in a few years. In addition, with small profits but quick turnover, it sold ships to Chinese shipping companies such as the Southern Star Shipping Company at low prices, thereby regaining the domestic shipping market from British and Japanese shipping companies.

Yu Qiaqing is optimistic about this market. With his position in the Shanghai business community, he has taken an important step in winning the China Merchants Shipbuilding Corporation.

Du Yuesheng probably understands these truths. Although the relationship between the two is considered close, but seeing others proud of himself, he is a little irritable in comparison, and he casually said: "I have some spare money in my hand, I wonder if I can help. Are you busy with the God of Wealth?"

Since Yu Qiaqing said so well, when Du Yuesheng revealed that he wanted to buy a stake in China Merchants Shipbuilding, Yu Qiaqing tactfully refused.A joke, don’t say that the major shareholder behind China Merchants Shipbuilding is Meihua Company. Even if it’s not, Yu Qiaqing doesn’t want to recruit a youth gang. Although you have some demeanor, Du Yuesheng is a gangster after all, isn’t it?

Wuhan, Wuhan, Du Yuesheng loves and hates that city!At this time, a ship sailing out of the Yangtze River was a little unhappy, because the oncoming ship seemed to be of the same type as the one he was riding on.

The more popular this kind of ship, the stronger the power in Wuhan, why not put Du Yuesheng under pressure?Every time I think of the opium boats floating on the endless stream of the Yangtze River, they have now been knocked out, and my mood is even more dim.

He turned his head slightly and didn't look at Yu Qiaqing's smiling face-of course you are happy, but I was sent to the door for criticism. How can I be happy?

Suddenly, I heard Yu Qiaqing say: "The railway bonds in Shanghai are the hottest, so you might as well consider it. If you become a major shareholder of the China Railway Corporation, it will be easier to have a good relationship with Wuhan."

Du Yuesheng couldn't help but brighten his eyes, thinking that this might be a good idea. Probably there is nothing better than investing in railways to let the Wuhan government see Du Yuesheng's sincerity?

Looking at Yu Qiaqing's somewhat unpredictable face, Du Yuesheng secretly guessed whether this was a condition for the Wuhan government to "recruit security", and said it through Yu Qiaqing's mouth?

Although Yu Qiaqing declined Du Yuesheng’s investment in China Merchants Shipbuilding, she kindly pointed out a clear path for Du Yuesheng.Although Siming Bank is not as financially strong as the American China Bank, it is also one of the shareholders of China Railway Corporation. Yu Qiaqing solicited Du Yuesheng to invest in the railway, he still has this weight.

"That's a good idea!" Du Yuesheng nodded, seeming to agree with Yu Qiaqing's words. Just looking at his shriveled face at the moment with a rare smile, he finally had more confidence in the next trip to Wuhan.

Back in the cabin, there are many entertainment activities, such as mahjong, playing cards, eating, dancing, and Du Yuesheng's most obsessive drama.

Although the sparrow is small and complete, although it is not as luxurious as an international cruise, the first-class Chinese local tyrants can still get enjoyment and satisfaction from the cries of the actors.

Yu Qiaqing's contacts are very wide, and soon after boarding the ship, she became acquainted with many people.Of course, Du Yuesheng is also very attractive and easy to be sought after, but people are more jealous of his identity.

There is also a person with a higher status on the boat, that is, Soong Ching Ling. Neither Yu Qiaqing nor Du Yuesheng dared to be presumptuous in front of her, they would somewhat please her.

Next to her was a thin and gentle man, a famous figure on the left of the Kuomintang-Liao Zhongkai.

Thanks to Situ Nan, the Kuomintang was not as powerful as history, and was replaced by the Zhi Gong Party. The market went down all the way. Because there were more powerful enemies outside, the Kuomintang had no chance to take power, and many internal contradictions were once concealed. The dispute between the left and the right is not like history. With such a fierce battle, Liao Zhongkai, an otherwise unlucky leftist figure, survived unscathed.

The two were chatting in the tea room. When talking about the Kuomintang, which has been getting worse and worse in recent years, they couldn't help but feel a little sigh. They thought about how passionate the Tongmenghui and the Kuomintang people were when they fought with Manqing and Yuan Shikai.

Seeing Yu Qiaqing and Du Yuesheng coming in, talking and laughing, they were really embarrassed. Soong Ching Ling's brows wrinkled slightly, and her depressed mood was even more unhappy.

"Madam in good spirits?" Yu Qiaqing greeted with a smile.

"It's okay!" Song Qingling replied lightly, with a cold attitude.

Yu Qiaqing ate a soft nail and chuckled.Du Yuesheng wanted to talk a few more words, and a few words with the big female figure. Seeing that the other person's attitude was indifferent, after a few words, he walked away.

"This Madam Sun is really hard to talk!" Yu Qiaqing gently shook her head as she walked away.

"Miss Song Jia is not a fuel-efficient lamp! You are probably dragged down by me!" Du Yuesheng said.I am a gang leader, compared with this status, the gap seems quite big.Mainly it is difficult to pull together.

"Du Yuesheng? Why is the gang leader also on this ship? Is he going to Wuhan too?" Liao Zhongkai looked at the back of Du Yuesheng and asked curiously.

Liao Zhongkai has always been known for his strong fund-raising ability, and he is very sensitive to the KMT's potential benefactors. He also knows Yu Qiaqing, but he is not familiar with it.

"It is estimated that I also went to Wuhan. Maybe it has something to do with opium!" Soong Ching Ling said nonchalantly, then sighed and turned the topic back. "The differences in the party are getting bigger and bigger, and the split is inevitable. Xie Chi, Zou Lu Waiting for the rightists to openly oppose Mr.'s three major policies and blatantly colluded with the Zhi Gong Dang. Wang Jingwei and Sun Ke were also fooled by Chen Jiongming and others."

What about Song Ziwen?Liao Zhongkai was silent and added something in his heart. After looking at Soong Ching Ling, he suddenly thought: When I went to Wuhan, would this sister and brother fight?The blame is that the right wing in the party has no bones and ran to cheer the party's stinky feet.

"Is it difficult for the Communist Party to follow? I don't think Wuhan will agree to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union!" Liao Zhongkai was silent for a while, then slowly spit out.

"No matter how difficult the road is, we have to stick to it, because we are all Mr.'s believers!" Soong Ching Ling affirmed, feeling a pressure in her heart, no more than Shanghai or Wuhan, her relatives and political enemies!

Chapter 129 Seeing Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge

Wuhan, the city known as Chicago in the East, is becoming more and more worthy of its name. Except for the buildings not as high as Chicago, the level of industrial development is no less inferior to Chicago.

The Hanyang Iron Works with an annual output of one million tons, the Hanyang Ordnance Factory, shipyards, tractor factories, and locomotive factories that can produce from rifles to cannons, aircraft, and armored trains. More and more mechanical and chemical products are sold along the railway and the Yangtze River to all parts of the country. Even overseas, it’s like an octopus arbitrarily stretching its tentacles and absorbing the surrounding resources, such as coal mines in Pingxiang, iron ore in Daye and Jiangxia, tungsten sand in Guangdong, chemical raw materials in Beibu Gulf, rubber and petroleum in South China, Large quantities are imported into Wuhan every day, and the rapid development is amazing and attracting worldwide attention. Perhaps only the northern neighbor's frenzied obsession with heavy industry a few years later can match it.

After the 1911, Wuhan once again demonstrated its important position in politics, becoming the heart of the country-the country's largest political power-the capital of the government.

If any force can unify the country in the future, the answer is definitely in Wuhan.

"This is Wuhan? Ah-that is the Yangtze River Bridge mentioned in the newspaper!?"

Du Yuesheng walked out of the cabin and looked up and saw the steel-reinforced concrete buildings on the river in front of him. At this time, the passengers on the boat cheered, pointing to the discussion ahead, and exclaiming from time to time.

I saw a row of huge reinforced concrete bridge piers of the Yangtze River facing the giants, standing still against the rolling river. The bridge deck has not been laid, but the bridgeheads have been erected with steel on both banks, and the bridge decks extend from both banks to the river. Out of it.The workers were working on it, and the rumbling sound of machinery came from a construction boat under the pier.Beating the excited nerves of the audience.It is not difficult for people to imagine from the majestic and majestic appearance of the bridge piers the scene of flexibility before a bridge flies across the north and south of the sky!

Taking into account that it does not affect the navigation capacity of the Yangtze River, the clearance height under the bridge is maintained at 20 meters to ensure that 10,000-ton ships can pass the Yangtze River Bridge.The bridge is divided into two layers, the lower layer is a railway, and the upper layer is a highway. The railway and highway are dual-purpose, so the front looks much higher than the general front.

The bridge hasn't closed yet, and a section of the river is empty.However, the giant-like high bridge piers standing on the surging river, people in the past have already felt an aura, and no one will doubt the majestic appearance of the bridge!

"Is the Yangtze River Bridge ahead?" Du Yuesheng asked, in fact, he probably knew the answer in his heart.

"Yes! That's the Yangtze River Bridge! It's amazing, the Chinese can actually build a bridge over the Yangtze River!" Yu Qiaqing said.He had been to Wuhan and smiled slightly when he looked at Du Yuesheng's amazed expression, and he couldn't help but think of exclaiming when he first came to Wuhan.Although only the first bridge pier built by Jiang Zhu was seen at that time.

"Bigger than the Bund Baidu Bridge!" Du Yuesheng sighed. About the bridge, his most direct experience is the Bund Baidu Bridge.

"Is this comparable?"

Yu Qiaqing gave Du Yuesheng a glance. This guy seems to rarely set foot outside of Shanghai. I wonder if it is because of the many enemies outside that he would be hacked to death when he leaves Shanghai?
