Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 253 None of them objected

On January 1, Ma Xiaohu is one month old.

Entering 1905, Yau Tsim Mong had really changed a lot. In April 1901, Wang Shouliang bought land and built a factory here for the first time.

It’s been three and a half years!

On the spacious and crisscrossing roads of Yau Ma Tei, bicycle teams and tricycles can be seen everywhere to transport people and goods. Most of the citizens coming and going are workers and family members of Pearl River series enterprises.

Whenever a two-horse carriage or a galloping Pearl River T-car drives on the road, it will attract a certain amount of public attention and wait-and-see.

At this stage, Shi Xi has become the chief inspector of Kowloon, and Ma Rulong is also the chief inspector stationed in Yau Tsim Mong. No matter how influential and intimidating such titles are.

You can't deny that these two are the most important figures and tycoons in Hong Kong.

Who told them to be Wang Shouliang's relatives?

Early in the morning on the 28th, cars were driving back and forth at Shi Xi's single-family villa in Yau Ma Tei. In several blocks near the villa, there were armed blue-coated teams cruising everywhere, including green-coated policemen carrying sticks and straw hats.

This is so that on the big day, everything will be peaceful, so as not to be disturbed.

Go to Shanghai Industrial Zone and branch, then go to Shaoguan, Yangcheng, Foshan and Baoan.

In addition, the security divisions with a total strength of 19,000 people in various places still have to be managed. The security divisions are similar to the guard force, and those with semi-gilded uniform guard duties still have to be paid to each division one by one at intervals. member's.

It entered the splendor of an international metropolis half a century ahead of schedule. Except for the rare skyscrapers, which are far inferior to New York and Chicago, in other aspects, it is really not bad.

He is also very busy. He started negotiating a deal with Hans Cat on the 15th, and in the next few days he was stationed in Shanghai to burn a fire similar to the Foshan Army Reorganization in 1902.

When he nodded politely, he walked through the crowd and just arrived at the main entrance when he saw Kevin walking out of the villa. He glanced at the Jiachen 1904 long rifle carried by Xu Si and others with a strange expression, and then glanced at it again. Xu Si and others took out the magazines on their armed belts and complained, "Wang, you bastard, are there really so many talents in North America? Are they big talents?"

Wang Shouliang was somewhat speechless. This was because the citizens spontaneously gave way to him. Speaking of which, he really has such a reputation, and 80% of them are his employees and family members.

When you get rich, everyone you meet is a good person.

When Wang Shouliang's motorcade appeared in Tsim Sha Tsui, the atmosphere immediately resembled that of street tigers. Numerous shocked citizens took refuge in street shops or under the eaves of residential buildings.

This is what needs to be done to check and inspect one by one and strengthen the closeness between the chief shopkeeper and the grassroots managers and clerks.

Looking at the Yau Tsim Mong urban area built from scratch under his control plan in the past three and a half years, the city appearance has surpassed the original glory of Hong Kong Island in the 1960s.

"It's so funny. Not only can you make your own imitation Mauser M1898, but the pointed bullets can even be installed faster than the original Hanscat."

They were still paying attention to him, and some of them even knelt down to worship him, as if they were worshiping gods.

Wang Shouliang had just walked along the branches of the Pearl River all the way from Shaoguan.

When the small convoy arrived outside Shi Xi's villa, Wang Shouliang looked at the crowds getting off various cars and carriages, as well as many figures carrying golden dragons, silver dragons, and even Sihai and Bohai in transparent glass boxes. Gold and silver ship model.

When he got out of the car and walked with laughter, everyone he passed along the way was naturally respectful and full of flattery and congratulatory words.

This is indeed something that needs to be done occasionally to maintain the physical and mental health of the entire entrepreneurial team.

"This is really ridiculous..."

Wang Shouliang now not only makes a fortune, but also decides the life, death, wealth and status of a person, or even a huge family, with just one word!

There are really not many people who are qualified to get in front of him at this stage...

Ten thousand guns and one hundred thousand rounds of round-nose bullets, this is the beginning of the Four Seas!

He couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you hold a full moon banquet, you will receive a lot of gifts."

After all, the earliest history of the Sihai Escort Bureau was when Wang Shouliang waved his banknotes and bought one of the eliminated Li's long rifles from Yan Lun, which was full of ten times.

It's only been a few years, but Wang has already installed the most advanced pointed bullets in the world.

And you need to know that in the original trajectory, the Yan Lun was basically changed across the board around 1910, and round-head bullets were eliminated. The Mao Bear was in 1908, and the Hans Cat was in 1905... this year.

Wang Shouliang was only a few months older than Hans Cat, so that was early.

Wang Shouliang laughed, "Kevin, we are all friends. If you want to buy bullets, just talk about it. I will definitely not criticize you."

Kevin was speechless, including Joseph, who had just come out of the villa to greet him.

How many round-headed bullets are there in Yanlun and the entire empire where the sun never sets now? This thing doesn't mean you can change it if you want. The bigger the deal, the harder it is to turn around.

The various interests and problems involved in this big plate are too many and too complex.

After being speechless for a while, as Wang Shouliang walked into the villa, Kevin suddenly smiled and said, "Although I shouldn't tease you, I still want to show off. I have three children this year."

"Wang, you are not young anymore and you are still single. Do you have anything to hide?"

Joseph was also happy, "Wang, your cousin's son is one month old. If your status was not high enough, Assistant Manager Shi would have urged you to get married."

Wang Shouliang, "..."

He was 1901 years old in 21 when he time-traveled, and now, three and a half years later, he is almost 25 years old.

What can he say in the face of such complaints? Can he say that in the 1994 plane, he already had a son and a daughter, and his eldest son was over a year old?

Every time he wanted to relax, rest for a while, and travel back to the 94th plane, he could stay there for a month or two, how many months? ! Zhou Zuer is now pregnant with her second child.

The daughter and son born to Jiang Yunyun and Sanli have also begun crawling all over the floor.

It's just that every time he leaves, time in the Plan A plane will be suspended and stagnant!

It is said that 100 points of humane merit can be opened in one time. After staying in this plane for three or four years, Wang Shouliang's accumulated humane merit in Zhutian Mall has already exceeded 100 million points.

It can only be said that in the chaotic times of the late Qing Dynasty, whether he was recruiting people to take care of food and clothing, providing disaster relief in various disaster areas, fighting epidemics, or even pulling 20,000 to 30,000 victims from Lushun to relocate in advance.

This is a great thing that saves countless lives. Even if it only saves one life, the total number of people he has benefited over the years is too many!

In this plane, he has always been single. The reason is not complicated. The world here is too chaotic. During the business war in the Genesis plane, some business opponents dared to attack Qiao Sanli, Zhou Zuer and others in order to fight against him.

Even in-laws like He Wenyuan would encounter assassins when they went to Hong Kong Island to give birth.

If he had started a family in the late Qing Dynasty, the risks that his wife and children would have encountered would have been... giant ships and cannons might blast your yard from a distance.

The next moment, Wang Shouliang complained, "Do you live just to have children? It's boring!"

"Look at the full moon gift I brought to my cousin's nephew. This is an epoch-making invention full of technology and craftsmanship."

While joking, he opened a gift box brought by Xu Si and showed off the metal flashlight.

This is the metal flashlight that many people born in the 20s remember in their childhood, and it is also the next major product of the Zhujiang series of companies.

When it comes to flashlights, we have to talk about several major inventions and innovations around the 20th century. One is the tungsten filament incandescent lamp invented by North American inventor Coolidge in 1908.

This was followed by portable dry batteries mass-produced in North America in 1896, and alkaline batteries invented by Edison in 1914.

The combination of tungsten filament bulbs, alkaline batteries and iron sheets has created a new generation of night lighting tools, mainly mobile lighting for walking.

Is this important? Even if it is a marching battle, night marching is still needed.

The flashlight Wang Shouliang took out was already a tungsten filament bulb with an alkaline battery, once again bringing the bright civilization to the next stage.

This is also the next hit product that is no worse than bicycles, lighters, and jeans.

This thing is generally average, but the lighting brightness at night is better than the gas street lights that line the streets.

In addition, Wang Shouliang signaled another guard carrying a gift box to come forward, opened the box and said, "Kevin, Joseph, don't say that I have good things that are not cheap for you. This is my latest invention of plastic products. This thing is definitely... nice one."

"The Pearl River Plastics Factory that I am about to establish will become a shining pearl of Pearl River Industry in the future."

The flashlight factory that launched in 05 was really just a punch. The birth of the Pearl River Plastic Factory was of course due to the expansion of the oil industry. At this stage, Wang Shouliang not only stocked up large oil depots and gas stations in various places.

There is also a continuous flow of oil tankers coming from North America.

Petroleum and the production of polyethylene have triggered the explosion of the plastics industry, which is also a very reasonable advancement. Plastics...

In fact, the original track of playing with plastic was used for military development. Even as early as October 1902, an Austrian scientist invented the plastic bag. Earlier, when Hans the Cat scientist was doing experiments, it accidentally gave birth to something Polyethylene plastic.

But the large-scale plastic explosion was still used by the military to produce waterproof cables, submarine communication cables, and insulating materials for radars. That was all during World War II.

After the end of World War II, polyethylene overcapacity turned to the field of people's livelihood and gave birth to a big explosion of packaging bags, shopping bags, etc.

Wang Shouliang first made a few plastic toys, including plastic images of the four masters and disciples: Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and Tang Seng, and gave them to his nephew.

But starting from 05, Zhujiang Plastic Factory can also produce various packaging bags, adding a little shelf life to Zhujiang instant noodles. Yes, Zhujiang instant noodles, which have been around for several years, have always been packaged in paper bags.

Paper bag packaging is known to be waterproof and moisture-proof, which will affect the storage quality of instant noodles and shorten its shelf life.

When the era of plastics comes, is it more than just instant noodles? Other food ingredients such as noodles, bread, yuba, dried mushrooms, etc. can be stored for a longer period of time.

Before the change, Wang Shouliang had no conditions or strength, and rarely made big moves in the field of grain and food.

But he knew that China would be plagued by disasters in the coming decades. From 1912 to 1937 alone, there were 77 major natural disasters in a short period of time. This was clearly recorded, including 24 floods, 14 droughts, and earthquakes. Ten times, other wind disasters, locust plagues, epidemics, etc.

Which one is not torturing tens of millions of compatriots in China? ?

In the past, he had no conditions. Starting from this year, Wang Shouliang plans to purchase a large area of ​​​​Sihai Manor, starting from eastern Guangdong, to Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, and then to Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Northeast China, etc.

This Four Seas Manor is a large-scale connected farm and farmland used for large-scale food production. The fertilizer industry does not need to be promoted. It only needs to purchase guano on a large scale from Nauru.

He has already had certain exchanges with Hans Cat, and has already bought two super-large ships from the former dreadnoughts. Then his Four Seas Fleet hires batches of merchant ships to go to Nauru to buy guano. What a small thing. ? If there is enough bird droppings, it is a strong enough fertilizer.

As for the huge Sihai Manor, in addition to employing a large number of farmers to farm the land, it also has accompanying grain processing plants and various finished food factories, which is what it should be.

Of course, with the establishment of Sihai Manor and the food factory, the Security Department... still has to do something. Anyway, neither the old witch nor the big head over there in the late Qing Dynasty objected to Shopkeeper Wang spending money to buy fields and grain...

Yes, at least when Wang Shouliang had this idea, and when he tried to interview some big landowners in various provinces, no one came out to object, so wouldn't that mean everything was fine?

The only thing he is not sure about right now is how many security officers are needed to recruit for farms and food factories in various provinces, 30,000 or 50,000? Is it too much?

The serious Security Department was born in October 1902. It has been more than two years since then, and the total number is only 10. It seems that it is too large to expand all at once, and it seems inappropriate.

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time. It means spreading out very widely. Thirty to fifty thousand sounds exaggerated. You spread it over huge areas such as eastern Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, etc. , how many rings can be heard?

In order to cope with the continuous natural disasters in the next few decades, it is also necessary to develop agriculture in advance and stockpile a lot of grain.

Wang Shouliang is not short of money. As long as he has money, he can make steady progress whether he buys grain from farms in North and South America, various plantations in East and Southeast Asia, and Xingmatai farms.

But many times, water far away cannot quench the thirst nearby!

In 1905, the Sihai Escort Bureau, advancing both by land and water, had the confidence to protect many farms and farmland from being disturbed, plundered, and imposed with all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Even if the Japanese captured the empty city of Lushun, wouldn't Wang Shouliang still mobilize 5,000 executioners and bodyguards, as well as a squadron, to guard half of it?

Some time later, at Ma Xiaohu's full moon banquet, he exchanged pleasantries with Shi Xi, Ma Rulong, Shi Aihua and others. He also became a half-master and took the initiative to meet with many prominent families and local tyrants from eastern Guangdong.

Buy land and open a large farm. As long as you are willing to sell it, Wang Shouliang will have so much money that you can't even spend it all! !

After the Spring Festival, it is already the Year of Yisi, and this new year is also going to be auspicious.

In the past, he has always had people, guns, cannons, big ships, and money. In the new year, he will have food.
