Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 273 This is the best New Year’s Eve fireworks show!

On January 1, at Tongzhou Tongyuan Pier, as several large ships came slowly, the area around the terminal soon became noisy.

When Wang Shouliang and his guards disembarked several Pearl River T-cars and two Liberty trucks, the convoy was still adjusting its direction when they saw an old man in his fifties leading a group of people wearing long gowns or cotton jackets. People wearing thick cotton-padded clothes came.

The leader, the old man, has a long beard. He is not young, but he is energetic. He is looking forward to the glory while walking. His mood is full of doubts, but also expectations and longings. "But the shopkeeper of the Four Seas is in front of him? The old man Zhang Jizhi cannot greet him from a distance. Please ask the shopkeeper Haihan."

Wang Shouliang laughed and said, "I have admired Mr. Ji Zhi's name for a long time. It is disrespectful to pay a visit this time without paying a small courtesy. I hope Mr. Ji Zhi will accept it."

As he spoke, the captain of the guard, Xu Si, also came forward with a box and added in a low voice, "The big shopkeeper, Mr. Jiu Wen, has devoted his life to water control, establishing industries to revitalize our national industry and economy, and building schools to develop education."

"I heard that Mr. Wang is currently preparing to open Tongzhou Women's Normal School and has specially prepared 10 silver dollars."

Zhang Jizhi was stunned. Although he had heard it countless times, the boss of the Sihai Escort Agency, Wang Da, was a well-known god of wealth. He was not short of money. Is it okay to give away 10 silver dollars when meeting him?

Wang Shouliang stepped forward and said, "Mr. he has established yarn mills, cotton spinning mills, flour mills, oil mills, glass factories, iron smelting plants, etc. He is the forefront entrepreneur in China, but this money is used to donate to Jianxue of."

Zhang Jizhi then smiled and took the gift box with both hands, "Thank you so much, shopkeeper, shopkeeper Renyi. On behalf of the students who are about to receive the favor, I would like to thank the shopkeeper for his kindness."

How should I put it? Zhang Jizhi is not the only target for water control at this time, but from the perspective of the overall situation and the big plan, he should be asked to take the lead and create a large number of water control talents.

The other party either led or assisted in establishing more than 400 schools throughout his life, many of which were even the predecessors of the 985 and 211 universities after the founding of New China.

So when the motorcade moved to Zhang's Mansion, the two parties sat down separately as guests and hosts, and talked about business. Even though Shopkeeper Wang came to visit this time, he didn't say hello and came to the door very unexpectedly.

Of course, Wang Shouliang came to visit Zhang Jizhi for a simple purpose: to control floods! Zhang Jizhi is not only one of the experts on water control. As early as 1887, when the Yellow River burst its banks in Henan Province, when he was still someone else's staff, he worked on the front line of the Yellow River many times to control floods and provide disaster relief.

This person was the one who established national enterprises and engaged in industrial development in modern times. He not only competed with Western and island countries' enterprises to make a way out, but also actively established education and public welfare undertakings to benefit the hometown and had a far-reaching influence.

Wang Shouliang is not short of money, and Siwu is a good base.

Wang Shouliang himself founded a power plant, steel factory, bicycle factory, lighter factory, sugar factory, ordnance factory, construction cement factory, etc. in Foshan. He relied on cheating and cheating to build Foshan into one of China's key industrial bases. one.

We are spreading a batch of silver bullets to recruit enough talents and great talents, and we are also starting to control the Yellow River, Huai Ge, and Yangtze River.

To describe it 100 years later, Zhang Jizhi, who is now in his 50s, is really one of the sages and role models of Chinese national entrepreneurs. It does not mean that he is rich or wealthy, but he has the image of a national entrepreneur.

For example, Fudan, Maritime University, Ocean University, Hohai University, Tongji University, Nanjing University, Dongda University, Nandu Normal University, etc...

To design the water conservancy systems in Kalimantan, Sarawak, and Sibu, it’s all incidental.

He had made up his mind to control the Huaihe River even earlier.

But if you just spend money, you can have talented people lead the team to clean up the major water systems that are often flooded in China, which is also a feat for thousands of families to create Buddhas.

Up and down the Zhang Mansion, starting from Zhang Jizhi, going down to...

"Shexia is nearby, if the great shopkeeper..."

The immediate purpose is to visit Zhang Jizhi in front of him.

Putting aside the issue of cheating...

Some things are hard to compare.

After a series of modest politeness, Wang Shouliang also decisively accepted the other party's invitation to go to Zhang's house to sit. After all, he came to Tongzhou from Shanghai this time, although the distance was not far.

A few years later, this person would become the director of Beiyang Water Conservancy, the director of industry, the president of the Water Conservancy Bureau, etc. In the end, Zhang Jizhi resigned angrily because Datou wanted to "wear more clothes when the weather is cold" and did not hesitate to hook up with the Japanese.

Zhang Jizhi in front of him relied on his own ability to open yarn mills, cotton spinning, flour, etc. in Tongzhou, and built Tongzhou into one of China's light industry bases.

Everyone quickly fell into an atmosphere of surprise.

Faced with a big money and silver bullet, I just want you to take the lead in water control, control the Yellow River that often breaks its banks in Shandong Province, control the Huaihe River, and control floods in the Yangtze River.

It's for disaster relief.

Don’t talk about state affairs, just talk about water management and benefiting the people!
Wang Shouliang assured that various engineering equipment needed for water control, such as steam-powered excavators, steam-powered dredging vessels, including a large number of human-powered wooden pallets made of steel and pneumatic rubber tires, fuel-powered crawler tractors and wooden pallets are used in large transportation systems .

and many more.

All these Sihai Groups can do business and transport them here.

During the flood control period, it dredged rivers near Sihai Farms in Shandong and Henan, dredged rivers in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River basins in Zhejiang, Anhui, and Jiangsu, etc. Sihai Group was also able to contract three meals a day for the workers to ensure adequate supplies.

Another example is that Sihai is providing money and hopes that Zhang Jizhi will take the lead in recruiting a large number of water conservancy engineers who have studied in Europe and the United States to build a brand new water conservancy school belonging to China.

It has been continuously cultivating its own water conservancy talents for China for many years.

All of this was heard and talked about, making everyone in the Zhang family laugh and laugh continuously. It always felt like it was so unreal, like pie in the sky.

The Qing court, which led the Qing Dynasty, was like a younger brother to the big shopkeeper in terms of spending money to support this.

A lively conversation continued until noon, and continued after a simple meal. It was close to dinner that Wang Shouliang took out the land reclamation treaty signed by himself and Yan Lun on Kalimantan Island.

Zhang Jizhi saw the contents of these treaties clearly and felt a little dizzy...

I always feel that this is the most exciting and emotional fair treaty for the Chinese people since the early Qing Dynasty came into contact with the global system of hegemony!
Taking another sip of tea, Wang Shouliang said with emotion, "There is too much rainfall in Kalimantan. The year is only divided into rainy season and non-rainy season. If we want to build a modern international metropolis, urban drainage and water control and flood prevention are the biggest problems." .”

"But if this is done, Kalimantan may not be unable to build a brilliant metropolis like Shanghai."

"I will hire a large number of Hans cats and North American water conservancy engineers, but I also hope to recruit enough water conservancy experts from the mainland."

"After the water control is done, the living environment there is still good. It is isolated from the surrounding islands and blocks various major natural disasters. Apart from the hot climate and high air humidity, there are no other major flaws."

Until the 21s, Xingjiapo had been known as a garden city and one of the most livable cities in the world. The living environment of Sarawak Sibu and Xingjiapo was basically the same. What a service can become depends on how much manpower, financial resources, material resources, policies and other factors you invest in making it what it is.

Just like Pengcheng, it can be a small fishing village or a window to the world!
The two sides have been talking about it. The lanterns are on and the night banquet is in full swing. Zhang Jizhi has already made preliminary plans and ideas for the construction and development of water conservancy. He is just waiting for several rounds of discussions before he is ready to implement it.

The follow-up discussion was not between him and Wang Shouliang, but about making an appointment and recruiting more water conservancy experts, and everyone organized a bureau to discuss it together.

After eating and drinking enough and it was getting late, Wang Shouliang stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Ji Zhi, after I go back, I will be waiting for your good news. As long as you are short of money, just call my security department. No matter what At no time should we waste money on water conservancy construction."

When Zhang Jizhi was polite and kindly invited Wang Shouliang to stay overnight, Wang Shouliang smiled and waved his hand, "Tongzhou is very close to Shanghai, so I won't stay overnight."

"However, during this trip, I also gave Mr. Ji Zhi a business opportunity. The Siwu development started this year, and tens of millions of people will be transported there every year to play construction."

"What Siwu lacks the most is umbrellas, raincoats, rubber shoes and other rain-proof clothing. If Dasheng Cotton Mill can open up a new industry, it will be a way to make money."

“Raincoats and umbrellas are indispensable during the four to five-month rainy season in Siwu every year from November to February or March. In the field of raincoats and umbrellas now, one is rubber raincoat and umbrella, and the other is separated from the petroleum industry. Polyethylene plastic is more advanced for rainproofing.”

"Our traditional Chinese raincoats, oilcoats, oilcloth umbrellas, etc., are easily swept away by low prices when faced with rubber and plastic assembly line products."

"In this area, Jiangnan has no shortage of rainy season, and the market is huge."

It would definitely be unreasonable for you to run a raincoat and umbrella business in the Sahara Desert, but the market in Xingjiapo and Sebu, Sarawak is really... big.

………………

Time flies by. From Laba to the New Year in the North and South, Wang Shouliang has been busy mobilizing for land reclamation. He relied on various welfare benefits to increase his salary. He also mobilized many old workers and masters to join the expedition to Nanyang with his family. plan.

His schedule has reached New Year's Eve.

However, when he was mobilizing in the Foshan New District on Nanxiaonian, he unexpectedly received new news. He couldn't help but click his tongue, quickly interrupted his mobilization plan, and took a big boat down the river.

When the Four Seas was about to depart from Yau Tsim Mong Pier to Kalimantan, Cao Yuncai, who came in a hurry, asked curiously, "What happened?"

The original plan was for Wang Shouliang to officially take Cao Yun with him to have a meal with Shi Xi's family at the New Year's Eve reunion dinner. It was not considered a big ceremony, but it was still considered a formality.

Wang Shouliang stood on the deck, feeling the invasion of the sea breeze, and said with a smile, "I just received the news that the Japanese's Nagato, Kaga, and 30 brand-new torpedo boat destroyers were to be transferred to Yanlun on New Year's Eve. Handover in Malacca.”

"This fleet will sail from Malacca through the Java Sea, Makassar Strait, Sulawesi Sea, and Mariana Islands, all the way to Tokyo."

"This is to deliberately avoid the Sarawak Sea, the South China Sea, the East China Sea and other places, including the Xiaoliuqiu Islands."

"I plan to try to see if I can block it and fire a few shots. If it works, it will be the best. If it doesn't, it will be a wasted trip."

The year before last, when they were still discussing the Sumatra oil field, Kevin and Joseph had talked about the local support plan for the Japs in Yanlun. The plan could not keep up with the changes, and the final fleet was what it is now and was delivered in February.

If the Japanese go out to sea from the Strait of Malacca and go to the South China Sea and the East China Sea, there are too many places where they can ambush and fire a few shots in advance.

No matter NSQD, the other side of the bend, or the Xiaoliuqiu route, they can pursue and intercept them.

But the devil took a detour!

That's right. Now with the addition of the new Nagato and Kaga, there are still three pre-dreadnoughts leading the team over there. Wang Shouliang already has 9 Shikai-class pre-dreadnoughts here!

The newly upgraded version of the torpedo boat destroyer, Sihai Escort, has only 21 ships, which is not as good as the Japanese, but the plus destroyer is only for torpedo boats. The largest 75MM rapid-fire gun can be compared with the Sihai-class 305MM dual-mounted main turret, regardless of whether the range is lowered.

When the 75mm artillery exploded on the command tower of the Sihai, it might not be able to create a crater even if it exploded twenty or thirty times. We could only take advantage of the cloudy weather, heavy fog or darkness, and rush to the Sihai within a kilometer or two to launch torpedoes. Only then could we have a chance to steal chicken.

Cao Yun was also excited, "Then I go with you? This is much more meaningful than eating together."

Again, any Chinese with any brains can see clearly since the Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, the Eight-Power Allied Forces' invasion of China, and the Ghost-Bear War, how rampant and vicious the Japanese are in their pursuit of subjugating China.

Only when all such Japs are dead will they be good Japs.

Even though this plane has experienced repeated blows from the Four Seas Escort Bureau, it, like Daiqing, has begun to become a semi-colony of Yanlun and North America, with open ports, concessions, etc...

But the Japanese still have a relatively elite navy, including an army, and are currently superior to China in the manufacturing of steel battleships.

The original plan of the Nagato and Kaga Hachihachi fleets was started by the Japanese at the local shipyards of the island nation during World War I. It is no longer the case that all the Sixty-sixth fleets were purchased from Yinlun!
The Nagato has a displacement of nearly 4 tons and eight 8MM main guns. It was once promoted as the strongest warship in the world. Even if this is trumped up, it does not prevent the island nation from being able to build the Nagato on its own to demonstrate its industrial strength.

The Kaga also has 10 twin 410MM main guns.

What the Japanese have handed over from Yin Lun now are only the names of Nagato and Kaga, and they are far less capable of fighting as perverted as they were in history.

But this does not prevent Wang Shouliang from wanting to block the road and fire a few cannons!
"You can go with me, but be careful if you become a desperate mandarin duck with me. They are definitely guarding me, and they probably also used picric acid shells."

"Whether it's a bombardment of giant cannons looking at luck from a long distance, or a charge to the death by torpedo boat destroyers and torpedo boat suicide squads, if one thing goes wrong, the Sihai may be sunk."

Of course what Wang Shouliang was talking about now was a joke. With his gunner-level combat effectiveness, even if the Japanese were lucky enough to hit the Sihai command tower at the maximum range, he would still be fine.

The biggest cheat was just a second or two before the heavy artillery was about to hit the command tower, and the portable space was taken away... making the people around him suspect that they were dazzled.

What's more, can a Japanese have such incredible luck? ?
If you don't have that kind of luck, Wang Shouliang will stand on the Sihai and use his artillery strength to brutally destroy the enemy fleet at the maximum range.

This is the best New Year’s Eve fireworks show!

At his words, Cao Yun hugged Wang Shouliang excitedly, his body trembling violently. He didn't know whether it was from fear or anticipation.

She would not be stupid enough to expect Xiang Xiang and Wang Shouliang to be desperate mandarin ducks just a few months after she became a bride, just to expect another thrill under the hail of bullets.

Like a good girl in peacetime, who is easily attracted to the midnight racing brawls of the will-o'-the-wisp boy?

During this night's emergency trip, Cao Yun's spacious captain's cabin was filled with unprecedented enthusiasm, stormy waves, and flooding.
