However, suppressing bandits is no joke. Fighting means burning money. At present, Chen Tianhua will not engage in any military operations without economic goals for the time being.

Lake bandits like Jin Tianlong were supported by the Japanese Shogen Corporation in the past. He dared to be extravagant and make trouble, but they really failed to live up to their expectations. They were like a pile of mud and could not hold up the wall.

Now that Zhengyuan Co., Ltd. is much colder towards them, and the governor Nie Jiugui has been transferred away from Zhejiang Province, Jin Tianlong is like a broken ship that has lost its harbor and is floating in the lake.

I didn't have much money to move around, so I had to stay in Taihu Lake and start my own business, charging some lake crossing fees and protection fees to support my family.

Now go and exterminate them. Those ghost guys who are so poor that they are half-dead have really no money to make. Chen Tianhua is not stupid. It is like using his own money to run errands for the court, which is thankless.

Therefore, he didn't have the leisure to bother with it.

However, Jin Tianlong didn't think so. He and this evil god were the number one mortal enemy in the sky. He thought that the young master's large-scale construction project in Taihu Lake was a precursor to taking action against him. He was in panic all day long and sent people to carry him away several times.

Rare treasures come to seek peace and intercession.

Chen Tianhua ignored him and didn't accept the peace proposal, but he didn't say anything harsh about wiping out the Taihu Gang, so let this bitch have nightmares every day.

Now, his industrial tentacles range from mining, railways, electric power and metallurgy, to shipping. He owns Fengzhong Bank. He wants to use "Fengzhong" as the name of all enterprises to form a Fengzhong Enterprise Group.

Currently, he is investing in building a large power plant in Hangzhou, employing British and American engineers. As the general manager of the power plant, he has appointed his brother-in-law, who has drunk foreign ink, to be the general manager of the power plant.

"The mine has been mined, the mine has been mined, husband, we are going to make a fortune this time!" Xu Yunyuan came over again to deliver the good news.

Xu Yunyuan's information transmission channel is always faster than the economic briefings in the autonomous region's yamen, and she is the first to get the information.

"Oh, let's hear the details." Chen Tianhua did not pick up the stack of reports, but hoped that Xu Yunyuan would pick up the important ones.

"Hey, you have become lazy too. It seems that one secretary is not enough. I have become the second secretary..."

Xu Yunyuan couldn't say how happy she was to see her husband's career rising steadily.

"I'm sorry, husband, I'm so excited. Several of our prospecting platforms have successively discovered tungsten ore, tin ore and copper ore from Daji Mountain and Xihua Mountain. The reserves are very considerable!" she said excitedly.

"What's so strange about this? It's all expected. I know it, and I will immediately arrange for freighters and barges to load the ore there. By the way, don't those European and American consortiums want rare metal mines? You are proficient in foreign languages, so by

On behalf of me, talk to these representatives about cooperative mining or ore trading. You can let Silver Fox and White Fox in Shanghai know more about the international market. The declaration office must be very well-informed about this." Chen Tianhua said.

"That's no problem. These representatives are all waiting in southern Gansu. On the one hand, they are pestering the local government officials. On the other hand, they are sending people there to secretly watch and learn about the exploration situation. They all want to prepare to meet and talk to you in person.

Let’s talk, I will discuss a preliminary framework right away, and it’s up to you to make the final decision!”

"Well... there's just one thing. We can negotiate with any European or American company, except when the Japanese representatives come." Chen Tianhua smoked a cigar and suddenly emphasized this sentence.

"Well, I understand that." Xu Yunyuan nodded, "It seems that Ian has left the consulate now and has gone to work as the vice president of a British international trading company. He is also a customer of Gannan Mining."

"Haha, Ian has gone into business, so we are old friends. We will take care of him first under the same conditions."

"clear."

Several mountains in southern Jiangxi have mines. With such a large scale, we should find partners to jointly develop it.

Because mineral mining, smelting and management are highly specialized industries, although tungsten ore is smelted in a special blast furnace at the Hanyang Iron Works, the technology and yield still lag behind international standards.

Now, half of the ore from Pangu Mountain cannot be digested by Hanyang Special Steel Plant. Now it is Daji Mountain and Xihua Mountain.

Chen Tianhua understands the problem of deep processing of ore, which has high utilization rate and high profits, but he really does not have the time to bother with this matter.

The road police are in charge of each section. They are only responsible for investment and exploration, contract mining and trading. Please have a specialized agency take charge.

However, he will not transfer the mining rights to the mines, but will adopt a joint-stock cooperation model, so that the benefits will be maximized.

Of course, the cooperation partner is an old friend like Ian. Both sides have comrades who have eaten cornbread in the same trench, so they are trustworthy in comparison.

This time, Chen Tianhua is not willing to engage in a bidding war. He is nostalgic and only does business with old friends.

"Have those high-ranking government officials in southern Jiangxi, western Hunan, and northern Guangdong been honest recently?" Chen Tianhua continued to ask.

"The field mountain artillery and Gatling heavy machine guns of our security brigade are no more than toys to those big countries. There is nothing weird about them. But they are definitely enough deterrents for poor places like southern Jiangxi, western Hunan, and northern Aobei.

Our armed cavalry walked around in front of the government office, and they were so frightened that they shrank their heads."

"The local green camp and city defense camp cleared soldiers, holding what looked like fire sticks in their hands. Who dared to go against the mining security team? They all pretended to be deaf and dumb. Only Japanese companies and some European and American consortiums acted like shit stirrers.

Captain Song is always troubled and provoked, which makes Captain Song very annoyed." Xu Yunyuan continued to state.

"Tell Song Xiaoniu and the others not to act rashly, to stay calm and ignore these troublemakers, and just keep an eye on the local officials. If you don't abide by the rules of the game, you will be abandoned by the rules!"

Chen Tianhua said with a cold smile.

"I understand, husband!" Xu Yunyuan smiled knowingly.

In recent years, he discovered that this young master, who was younger than himself, had really changed a lot. In addition to his strategies and scheming, his methods were becoming more and more vicious and terrifying!

These local yamen officials only care about food but not fighting, and they don't know how much benefits they have received from foreign consortiums, so they dare to pursue the idea of ​​​​Fengzhong Contract.

It is true that the ignorant are fearless. Even without Zhang Zhidong's support, given Chen Tianhua's current power and influence, if they really wanted to confront each other, these people would probably lose their hat first.

Think about it, the projects in Chen Tianhua's hands, the Guangdong-Han Railway, and the tungsten mine associated with Hanyang Arsenal, are all national strategic projects that the court pays great attention to. If he is taken away, who has the strength to complete them?

joke!
