Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 392 Nanyang Quanyehui (Revised)
Jinling City, Dingjia Bridge

Since June, there has been a sea of ​​people here. If you look carefully, all the people who come and go are dressed in silk, and there are no "patches" when they come and go.

The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, all kinds of things happened one after another, except for the turmoil in Qilu, and the heavy rains in Huizhou and Hunan provinces that required "ship repairs".Front.Positive things are happening too.

On June 1910, 6, after several hesitations by the top officials of the Qing court, the Nanyang Persuasion Association officially opened in Jinling City after many twists and turns.Now in September, Hanyao has officially caught up with Gu Ansheng's most urgent line at the Nanyang Encouragement Fair...

Why did the Qing Dynasty add the word "Nanyang" to the Industrial and Commercial Expo?

That’s because the current Qing court has the official titles of Minister of Beiyang and Nanyang, both of which mean Minister of Commerce and Trade. This Nanyang Quanyehui was originally a commercial fair, but with the participation of Minister of Nanyang, that is, the governor of Liangjiang at that time, Duan Fang, Officially named "Nanyang".

Black Provincial Branch
"Ansheng, it seems that the sales of Changyu wine in Kanto will depend on your Hanyao Chamber of Commerce." A healthy and unreasonable old man who is nearly 70 years old is wearing an official uniform of the Qing court and is sitting at the Heilongjiang Exhibition Hall. In the reception room on the second floor of the museum, he was talking with Gu Ansheng.

The red crown on the top of the head was covered with flowers in Jinling in September. The old man took off the crown and handed it to the servant beside him.This Qing court official took off his top hat, and it can be seen that this Qing court official does not have braids.

"Master Zhang, the sales of Zhangyu Wine in Kanto can be safely handed over to us, and our freighter can even arrive at Yantai directly to receive the goods." Gu Ansheng said with a slight bow, this old man really needs to be more polite.

The old man was none other than Zhang Zhenxun, a serious official of the Qing court who had been summoned by Emperor Guangxu three times.Of course, he also has another identity, the founder of Changyu Wine and the proposer of this Nanyang Entrepreneurship Conference.

Changyu Winery in Yantai is only part of the old man's business.In Nanyang, the well-known Zhang's firm is the main industry and source of funds for this person.Zhang's firm set foot in the planting industry, medicinal material industry, tin mining industry, shipping industry, etc. in Nanyang, and its business has even reached Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and other places in later generations.

And Zhang Zhenxun, who is officially an important figure in the Nanyang Chinese circle at this time, could be said to be the richest man in Southeast Asia a few years ago.Personal assets are as high as 7000 million taels of silver, which is comparable to the annual taxation of the Qing court in recent years.

Of course, this is only the data collected by hunters a few years ago.Since 1896, Zhang Zhenxun has focused on entering the wine industry, planting grapes and brewing red wine in the Yantai area. It can be said that the focus of the richest man has been placed on the Qing Dynasty in recent years.

In 1908, Changyu Chateau, which had been in preparation for more than 10 years, officially started its external sales...

Zhang Zhenxun intends to make a name as the No. 1 Chinese red wine in Qingguo Liquor Industry, while Han Yao intends to establish a trading channel in Nanyang, and the two hit it off.

"Then thank you, Mr. Gu! Nanyang, I have already said hello, Hanyao Commercial Bank's development in Nanyang, our Zhang's Commercial Bank can provide some help, and even follow-up rubber, medicinal materials, rice, minerals, etc. we can also develop In-depth cooperation" Zhang Zhenxun also threw out his chips.

These days, it is very common for industries and businesses in the Qing Dynasty to help each other. The general environment is here, and foreign companies are constantly attacking cities and territories on the land of the Qing Dynasty. A perfect external force promotes the unity of races with the same skin.

Zhang Zhenxun was even more envious of Ice City, the gradually emerging industrial center of Kanto. The purchasing power of workers in Kanto can be said to be high, and red wine is not a luxury. Good place to open the market.Moreover, the west of Ice City has business with Tsarist Russia, and even Europe; the east has business with North Korea, even Japan, and the United States.

Entering the Kanto region is an important opportunity for Zhangyu Liquor to make a name for itself.

The two have their own calculations, and while Gu Ansheng was thankful that he had found a top-level partner, he also talked about the future development of Hanyao Commercial Bank in Nanyang: "Master Zhang, but our Hanyao Commercial Bank in Nanyang should It will bear the brand of American Elon Corporation!"

"What? Don't want Hanyao's brand?" Zhang Zhenxun was a little surprised. Ailong Company is now a new company in the United States. The name has not yet spread to his ears, but Hanyao's brand can be said to be very famous now.For Zhang Zhenxun, who has an outstanding vision and wants to build a brand, it is a bit incomprehensible to abandon the name of Han Yao.

Gu Ansheng smiled bitterly and said: "We have some conflicts with the Japanese. In the past two years, Japan has used our big southern island as a springboard, and the Japanese in Nanyang have also been very active! After the destruction of the Beiyang Fleet, we have no sea power. It is also necessary to take more precautions." It is necessary, and we have a cooperative relationship with the American Ailon Company, and in the future there will be Ailon Company's transport caravan traveling between Nanyang-Shanghai-San Francisco, which is also very convenient."

Lao Gu did not say that Ailong Company is actually the American branch of Hanyao, but American companies in Nanyang, especially Nanyang, where the British are currently in charge, are still very popular. In the future, Ailong Company will exert influence in the United States. At that time, with the Morgan consortium, it can be said that it will be another layer of protection for Hanyao Commercial Bank in Nanyang.

Zhang Zhenxun nodded silently when he heard this, and sighed: "I heard! However, this time, what happened to you in Kanto is very exciting! But it is also more critical. We have discussed it, and if the situation really changes, we, Zhang's Commercial Firm, are obliged to do so!"

It can be said that Zhang Zhenxun has a deep personal relationship with Yuan Shikai when doing business in the land of Qilu, and it is even more so with Sheng Xuanhuai and Xu Shichang.Although what he said was a bit of an afterthought, in fact, he did think so. He is an extremely patriotic person.

Chang Zhenxun grew up from a small apprentice to a pivotal figure in the overseas Chinese community in Southeast Asia. Even the local Dutch colonists did not dare to underestimate him after Zhang Zhenxun made his fortune in his Zhang's business.Wherever he went, the local administrative authorities fired salutes to welcome them.At the same time, the Dutch government was going to grant him an official position, but he politely declined.He said to his friend: "I am Chinese and should contribute to the motherland. How can I become a foreign official!"

So he went to the capital and opened his door with a donation of 20 taels of silver. He was summoned by Guangxu three times, and Guangxu asked him about some things about the rich country.It was against this background that the Nanyang Quanyehui was advocated. It can be said that it was based on the success of the first World Expo held in Britain more than 50 years ago.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Gu Ansheng saw that Zhang Zhenxun's words did not seem to be fake, but also sincerely thanked him.

"Fortunately, it's all right now, but I heard that the relationship between you and the Japanese has eased?"

"It has eased up a bit." Gu Ansheng said, but his face was full of reluctance to talk deeply.

Zhang Zhenxun is also a good person, so he changed his tone and praised this grand industrial and commercial event of the Qing Dynasty: "I didn't expect this Nanyang Encouragement Conference to be so grand!" There was a little emotion in his tone.

This time, it can be said to be a grand meeting of the Qing Dynasty's industry and commerce, but it is also very tortuous. From the proposal in 1908 to the holding in 1910, the high-level Qing court also continued to discuss. Originally, some "smart and refined", the budget was 50 silver dollars, However, under the advocacy of various industrialists in the Qing Dynasty, the amount of money invested by these industrial and commercial giants alone is as large as 150 million silver dollars, let alone the amount of orders that have not yet been calculated.

Speaking of the exhibition area alone, the Nanyang Encouragement Association held in Jinling City has a total of 34 exhibition areas, which are divided into two categories: provincial pavilions and professional pavilions.

The Provincial Pavilion includes the three Kanto provinces, Zhili and other provinces with industrial strength, as well as the Nanyang Pavilion, also known as the Jinan Pavilion.

The specialized halls have branch halls for crafts, agriculture, machinery, transportation, education, health, fine arts, and military equipment.

This time, the industry and commerce of the Qing Dynasty made a collective appearance that the Qing court had not seen in 200 years.

After a little emotion, Zhang Zhenxun got up quickly, and Gu Ansheng also got up to follow, wandering around the Hei Provincial Exhibition Hall, which used a lot of steel structures and glass.The Black Provincial Pavilion can be said to be unique this time, but this style similar to Hanyao's directly-operated store has attracted many people to come here admiringly.

"Is this the steam-powered main engine produced by Hanyao?" Zhang Zhenxun asked, pointing to the Hanyao multifunctional power mainframe displayed in the center.

A series of industrial products called "Made by Han Yao" made a big splash at this Nanyang Encouragement Fair.

Bingcheng Hanyao's gradually eliminated steam-powered mainframes, new products such as bicycles, tricycles, monosodium glutamate, garlic, etc., have received orders worth more than 900 million silver dollars, which can be called a huge victory in the history of Hanyao Commercial Bank.This alarmed Zhang Zhenxun. After he went to check, he pondered the idea of ​​deepening cooperation with Han Yao in his heart.

Moreover, with Xu Shichang's mediation in the capital, Hanyao's General Manufacturing Bureau has a series of military products, such as Hanyao's version of Mosin Nagant and shell guns, which entered the armament exhibition and won orders of more than 100 million silver dollars.

When this batch of documents is passed to Bingcheng, the factory in Bingcheng should start working at full capacity.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, this is Hanyao's steam-powered main engine. After this year, those businessmen who placed orders will set up industrial factories in the southeast coast. Spinning, flour mills, etc. will use our machine." Gu An Sheng said with some complacency.

"Yes, I only heard of Han Yao's name before, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful now." Zhang Zhenxun commented.

It can be said that the rise of Hanyao has effectively met the current demand of Chinese people for domestic products. In the name of domestic products, Hanyao has been attacking cities and territories in terms of industrial manufacturing.

"Master Zhang's liquor factory in Yantai can also be handed over to Hanyao's iron factory for maintenance in the future. In the future, we have reached an agreement with U.S. Steel. You can rest assured of the quality of the steel, and guarantee the maintenance of parts and the European quality of your factory. The machine is no different." Gu Ansheng hit the snake with the stick.

This matter was instigated by Zhu Chuanwen. As a top-level business company that cooperates with Hanyao, the reason why China Shipping Merchants helped Gu Ansheng was because many parts were handed over to Hanyao Manufacturing Bureau for production.

And Zhang Zhenxun's Zhang's firm is the second large enterprise to receive such treatment.

"Oh! Thank you so much. Your boss is also here. Don't even mention such a big thing as Nanyang Quanyehui. Come and see for yourself." Zhang Zhenxun is in a good mood. His factory also has a lot of Wanguo brand equipment, and it is very troublesome to maintain every year. Not to mention the time it takes to buy parts from Europe, just being slaughtered by foreigners is very annoying.

"Our boss can't get away..." Gu Ansheng alluded to the previous conflict with Japan, "However, it's the same with me, Mr. Zhang, why not go to Kanto in the future, you are not far away in Yantai."

"I will go, I will go." Zhang Zhenxun murmured. "Then, Mr. Gu, please stay. Look at those businessmen who are blocked outside and want to come in for a visit. I am always here, but you have lost a lot of business for Han Yao." After speaking, Zhang Zhenxun took over the hand of the servant. Put it on, put it on again and walk outside.

In the evening, Gu Ansheng's office in the Heilongjiang Exhibition Hall was rang.

"Director Tani, Mr. Funakoshi is here!"

"Please come in!" Gu Ansheng said, and then closed the document that was being drafted towards Bingcheng, "Forget it, you lock the door, just as I'm going outside for a walk, I've been busy for almost 3 months, this time I haven't looked at the venue carefully yet! Lock the door and let the security guards come here to be on duty at night."

Hunter is independent from Hanyao Commercial Bank, but integrated into Hanyao Commercial Bank. Security is the same protection method as the Bingcheng model agreed by Wang Keren and Gu Ansheng.

"Uncle Funakoshi, why did you come here from Shanghai? Are you done fighting with Master Huo?" Gu Ansheng came up from downstairs and asked Fumio Funakoshi who was looking around in the exhibition hall.

"Hey, don't mention it. Master Huo said that he was ill. I should have come to Shanghai to send the greeting card!" Fumiko Funakoshi was dressed in Japanese clothes, which is not unusual in Nanyang Quanyehui. It can be said that the grand event directly made the whole of East Asia lively. The center of Asia for thousands of years is no joke.

Anyway, except for the civilians with patches on their bodies, there were everyone at the Nanyang Encouragement Fair, and the Japanese were the most.

"Sick?" Gu Ansheng asked in surprise. The Master Huo he was talking about was Huo Yuanjia. Sheng also visited Huo Yuanjia because of his encounter with Chen Zhen in Japan.

The two of them walked towards the main entrance of Quanyehui while talking.

"Yeah, I'm sick! After dealing with Antian's matter, I took the invitation letter you gave me to the Jingwu Gymnastics Club. I didn't see you in person, so I got such a reply."

At the main entrance of "Nanyang Quanyehui", the five big characters of fighting squares are embellished by colorful lights.

Gu Ansheng took out 20 copper coins from his pocket, and here he can take a small train to visit the entire Quanye exhibition area, which is not expensive at 10 copper coins per person.

Sitting in the car, Gu Ansheng couldn't help complaining about Fumio Funakoshi, even if he had just heard about Huo Yuanjia's illness: "Uncle Funakoshi, you are really meddling in Yasuda and our business What are you doing..." There was a bit of complaint in the words, in fact, even though Yasuda canceled the MSG order, Lao Gu didn't panic this time.

Xia Yuanzhang taught Gu Ansheng to do business, but he was deeply influenced by Zhu Chuanwen.

Eggs cannot be put in one basket. As the director of Hanyao Light Industry and the chairman of Hanyao Chamber of Commerce, he has long discovered the unreasonableness of Hanyao's exports. The word foreign trade may not appear now, but it is in his heart.This kind of foreign export trade relies on Yasuda's sales model for all sales channels. Once there is a problem, it will be a huge setback for the healthy development of Hanyao.

Now, with the help of the Qing government’s preparation for the two-year expo, Nanyang has just opened up this sales channel with the help of the rubber capital layout, adding bricks and tiles to Hanyao’s many changes.
