Volume 1, Chapter 56: Shanghai Beach (9)

The power of role models is infinite. How tempting is a good career and a stable income? Just look at the long queues at the three entrances and the constant yelling of police officers to maintain order.

There was no end in sight for the long queue, and from a window on the street, Fang Jianxiong breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Erzhu hurried in and said: "Sir, Mr. Fisher is here."

"There is an urgent telegram from Wuhu. I sent it to you." Fisher came in and handed over a telegram. Fang Jianxiong took it and looked at it and said with a smile: "Li Muyan did a good job. It seems that I want to go back to Wuhu."

Come on. Fisher, tell Mr. Douglas quietly that I want to build a dock in Wuhu that will not affect the river freight during the dry season in winter."

Fisher hesitated and said: "Sir, please allow me to remind you that trade with China is now almost dominated by the British and Japanese. The only ones who can compete with them are the Germans."

Fang Jianxiong frowned and said, "That's it. I think Mr. Douglas will be interested."

The night before leaving, Alice played the song "Have a safe journey" in the living room of the Fisher family. Fang Jianxiong looked at it with a smile while holding a tea cup. The Fishers sat with him. The melodious melody echoed in the living room, and a very peaceful person

night.

The servant came in and whispered in his ear. Fisher listened and said: "Fang, Mr. Douglas is here. I still want to remind you that Qichang Yangxing Company once occupied 80% of the Yangtze River Shipping Company, but in the end it was forced to give up and sold it to China Merchants.

Steamship Company. The U.S. government advocates an open door, but the congressmen who control the United States are unwilling to increase investment in U.S. military expenditures. Without the guarantee of military strength, the Americans' open door policy is just an empty slogan."

Fang Jianxiong smiled and said, "I know it well." After saying that, he stood up and walked to the door of the living room. Douglas, who got off the carriage, stretched out his hand five steps away.

"Fang, nice to meet you." After a polite handshake, the host and guest took their seats in the living room.

"Mr. Douglas came here just to listen to Alice's playing, right?" Fang Jianxiong joked with a smile. Douglas smiled back and said: "With all due respect, I think you should take George's suggestion about the dock in Wuhu.

Accept it. If possible, I hope an American-owned company will build the terminal."

Fang Jianxiong turned his head and looked at Fisher. This man's face was as usual, and Douglas felt nervous. The news was reported quietly at noon by Fisher, saying that Fang Jianxiong had decided to build the dock and decided to build a dock in Jiangnan.

The dockyard ordered five ferries. Although it is not a particularly big business, being able to win it is undoubtedly a good start.

"Let's do this. Mr. Douglas can have people go to Wuhu to measure on the spot and come up with a design plan. I'll talk about it after looking at it. For specific requirements, I hope to be able to dock a 5,000-ton river ship. In addition, I heard that American sewing machines are the best.

Since Mr. Douglas is here, could you please order 500 sewing machines from the United States?"

Douglas felt a burst of joy in his heart, but his face was calm and he said: "The sewing machine problem is easy to deal with. I think you should also have a textile factory and a printing and dyeing factory."

"Haha, Mr. Douglas is very considerate, but I don't have that much money right now. Let's do this for now, Fisher, please work hard on the business at Jiangnan Shipyard. I think it's more advantageous for you to negotiate."

After Fang Jianxiong declined, he told Fisher, and Douglas was secretly happy. After sitting for a while, Douglas stood up to leave. When Fisher walked out of the door and got on the carriage, Douglas stopped and said: "Mr. Fisher, Fang's funds are insufficient.

What?"

Fisher shook his head and said: "No, when doing things, Fang always has to keep enough funds as a precaution. This is probably the cautious habit of the Chinese people. He doesn't even want to hear the word loan. I persuade him

Yes, he means it's hard to live with the money he owes, and it's even harder to live with the money owed to foreigners."

"I understand. It seems that we need to have a good talk. The Chinese side is too cautious. We need to change this habit." Douglas shrugged, and Fisher smiled slightly and said, "I think so too."

Fisher returned to the living room, Fang Jianxiong sat still and said: "How was it?"

Fisher smiled and said: "Mr. Douglas believes that your unwillingness to borrow money must be corrected, even with my help and his."

"Hahaha, okay, very good. Fisher, after I leave, the plan to steal the sky can be launched. The next step is up to you. I predict that the price of rubber stocks will reach an astonishing height within a year.

.Finally, I would like to emphasize that all stocks must be sold before the end of the year at the latest, so don’t end up trapping yourself in it.”

The job fair was held for three days in a row, and Eurasia Group successfully recruited all the talents it needed, and even had a surplus. This event had a great impact on the Shanghai employment market. In order to retain talents, some companies had to raise staff

salary. Indirectly, it can be considered as doing some good deeds.

In any case, Eurasia Group, a name that seems nondescript to contemporary people, became an instant hit in Shanghai.

As for Fang Jianxiong's name, as reporters dug deeper, it seemed that he was becoming more and more like a cutting-edge industrialist, and his old line of work had been forgotten.

On the deck of China Merchants Steamship Jianghua, Wuhu City was in the distance. Fang Jianxiong stood on the deck, his long gown fluttering in the wind. Gu Heng habitually stood one step behind Wang Guohua, silently not disturbing Fang Jianxiong's thoughts.

Although he has not been working with Fang Jianxiong for a long time, Gu Heng has experienced many things that he has never experienced before. The young boss is a very special person. Gu Heng, who has been in business for a long time, silently looks at Fang Jianxiong every time

Whenever you look at the back of someone, you will feel like you are looking at a mystery. This is a very magical young man. He left home when he was young and traveled thousands of miles away. When he came back, he was very rich at a young age. When you follow him to do things, you will do things almost every day.

It's amazing to be able to learn new things and those new ideas. Take this job fair for example. As long as he follows the plan and temporarily finds someone to take charge of the following, Gu Heng can leave Shanghai and return to Wuhu.

In fact, Gu Heng was still worried. Fang Jianxiong said: "Let young people take the responsibility, otherwise they will grow too slowly." So Gu Heng left the follow-up matters of the job fair to his two assistants. That's for sure.

Yes, Fang Jianxiong probably didn't even know their names, so he left with peace of mind.

"Mr. Gu, the first phase of the industrial zone project is basically completed, and the second phase of the project can be started. I will take care of the land and what kind of factory to build. I will give you a plan within three days. You can take your assistants and

Let’s discuss it. This time after I come back from Shanghai, everything about the Eurasia Group will fall on your shoulders. I can only make decisions on big projects. There is another question. You must do it now.

Attracting attention. The construction and training of Eurasia Group’s management team must form an echelon. This matter should not be underestimated. If Eurasia Group wants to grow bigger, it must have sufficient talent reserves.” Fang Jianxiong finally turned around and said

Such words.

Gu Heng felt excited. The investment in the entire Wuhu Industrial Zone now seemed to have reached no less than three million yuan. This was only the first phase. Such a huge scale was all handled by himself. This trust would not be repaid even with death.

Pass.

"My boss, don't worry about being the hands-off shopkeeper. You built the Wuhu Industrial Zone. It's up to you to decide what should be installed in the future and how big it should be." It's not that Gu Heng is very dependent, but he has not been in the past.

Those who do this feel that they still don’t understand a lot of things, so it’s not easy to make random decisions.

The ship docked in Wuhu. Fang Jianxiong entered his house and left for Anqing with a telegram.

Li Muyan hurriedly came to the official room, where Feng Xu was waiting for him. When he saw him, he threw over a newspaper and said: "Fang Jianxiong is engaged in a big battle in Shanghai. It seems that Mu Yan expected it well. He may not have done it intentionally."

Finished working in the army."

Li Muyan showed the phone in his hand and reported: "The call came from Wuhu. Fang Jianxiong has gone home. He is probably thinking about the installation and commissioning of the machinery and equipment in the industrial zone. Why can't he stay for ten days and a half after returning from this trip?"

"Mu Yan, tell me, why did Fang Jianxiong come back to do industry after studying military affairs in Germany?" After Feng Xu pondered for a while, there was not much joy on his face, and he seemed to be stuck in a difficult problem.

Li Muyan was secretly surprised after hearing this. Feng Xu is a very suspicious person, especially now that there are chaos and chaos everywhere in the world. He wouldn't be suspicious of Fang Jianxiong, right? "Well, it's hard to say. I just always feel that Fang Fuguo only cares about money."

Very heavy."

Feng Xu shook his head and said: "If you can spend a lot of money to start a business, you are not a miser. In my opinion, there are two possibilities for this matter. The first is that he is not worried about where he is going. Sun Baoqi and Yuan Xiangcheng are brothers who have exchanged posts. In the court,

If someone takes care of him, it will not be difficult to seal off one side of the border when he returns home. When the teacher sends a telegram, he will at least be a co-union as in the past. As for the second one, this person has great ambitions and cannot do big things without money. He is accumulating wealth.

.”

Feng Xu was worthy of being a high-ranking official, but he had a vicious eye on others. Except that he didn't see that Fang had a rebellious heart, everything else was basically right.

"In that case, it will be difficult to hold him back." Li Muyan secretly rejoiced in his heart. He had been thinking of ways to improve Fang Jianxiong's low status in Feng Xu's mind, and never thought that Feng Xu would take the initiative to raise the price.

"Look at the people who came out of the training team after three months of training. The people who came out of the Biyibi Lecture Hall are completely different. Mu Yan didn't know that among the students who came out of the teaching team, the highest ones only gave

The position of deputy platoon leader. The elites that Fang Fuguo has painstakingly trained are treated like this when they get to the Huncheng Association. Do they really think that they are blind and deaf? Gu Zhongchen's favorite generals Leng Xun and Ni Yingdian are suspected of being traitors to the party. It is reported that they want to use Taihu Qiu Cao

On this occasion, a rebellion broke out. The Taiwan Controller has already issued a warrant, Leng Yu escorted Jiang Ning, and Ni Yingdian was executed on the spot." Feng Xu suddenly turned to this topic, and Li Muyan was shocked. Feng Xu was not merciless at all in killing the revolutionaries.

Ah. It is easier to understand that Gu Zhongchen refuses to make good use of people from the training team. As a cooperator, he must use his cronies when hiring people. Judging from this, Feng Xu is dissatisfied with Gu Zhongchen, and it also involves

Ni Yingdian, a revolutionary party member, came. It can be seen from this that Feng Xu had many spies in the New Army.

Seeing Feng Xu's irritable expression, Li Muyan was suddenly and secretly frightened. Was the imperial court dissatisfied with Feng Xu?
