Volume 1, Chapter 57, The New Look of Wuhu

Li Muyan's guess was good. Anhui had frequent accidents, and Feng Xu's position was unstable. Duan Fang had called to reprimand him, and Feng Xu knew the future well.

"Hey!" Feng Xu sighed and said again: "Mu Yan, go to Wuhu and ask Fang Fuguo to contribute 100,000 silver dollars. I will appoint him a manufacturing bureau to supervise the operation. Let Anqing be left to fend for itself.

"

Huh? Li Muyan heard it. Feng Xu was trying to make money. It seemed that his days in Anhui were running out, and he had no intention of going to Wuhu to perform. Thinking of this, Li Muyan couldn't help but secretly worry about his future.

In Wuhu, the scale of the construction site outside the city has been expanded. The county magistrate Zhu Xiufeng was quite cooperative. Fang Jianxiong was willing to spend money and had a good reputation. The land acquisition was extremely smooth. The original industrial zone of 100 acres was directly expanded to 500 acres.

With the construction site in full swing and the publicity in the newspapers, Eurasia Group has become one of the most powerful business representatives in the country. After emergency consultations, the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce unanimously agreed that Eurasia Group is the pride of Wuhu and must be absorbed into the chamber of commerce.

Tang Shanfu and Wu Xingzhou were elected as negotiating representatives and went to Fang's house to hold talks with Fang Jianxiong, the boss behind the Eurasia Group.

Unexpectedly that Fang Jianxiong was not at home, they rushed into the military camp again. After sighing, the two came to the military camp outside the city. Outside the camp gate, the sentry stopped the two with guns drawn. Tang Shanfu stepped forward to speak and asked to see Fang Jianxiong.

Fang Jianxiong was talking to four new German instructors in the camp. The four were Rasmussen, artillery surveying and mapping instructor, Adams, artillery tactics instructor, Holmes, engineering instructor, Hamilton, artillery regiment staff officer, captain rank,

He is the one with the highest position here. After talking, Fang Jianxiong learned that these four were retired lieutenant captains in the German army, and all had military careers of more than ten years. After retirement, their livelihood was difficult, so Bob found them and recommended him to come to China.

Fang Jianxiong is very satisfied with these four, because they are all instructors of technical arms. With them, Fang Jianxiong can hold relevant courses. Unfortunately, the size of the teaching team is still a bit small. More than a hundred students are infantry. At this stage,

No matter what, let’s open the courses first and then we can subdivide the classes according to the results.

The four instructors were very satisfied with their accommodation and salary. Unfortunately, their family members did not come with them. Fang Jianxiong immediately offered to advance the salary of the four for half a year and entrusted Li and Matheson to bring their family members. This move won the support of the four instructors.

Satisfied, they all expressed their intention to get back to work immediately.

Qi Erzhu came to report that there was a representative of the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce at the door asking to see him. Fang Jianxiong said goodbye to the four instructors and came out. When he saw Tang Shanfu and Wu Xingzhou coming, he smiled and stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, "What kind of wind has brought these two uncles here?"

Fang Jianxiong is so low-key that these two people dare not rely on him. Even though they are the backbone of Wuhu Chamber of Commerce, Fang Jianxiong's Eurasia Group can surpass most of the chambers of commerce, and the development speed of Eurasia Group is very fast. It's really

Putting these old Jianghu to shame. Tang Shanfu stepped forward and handed over his hand: "Master Fang, I took the liberty to come to visit. We do have something to discuss."

Fang Jianxiong repeatedly raised his hands to accuse him and said: "Uncle Tang Shi, I don't dare to call him that. Let's call him Fuguo. I feel comfortable with it." After this, Tang Shanfu said politely: "Then I'll give you a big shout-out, Fuguo."

"Guo, I have something to do with you."

"That's right, uncles, I'm going to the industrial area to have a look. Let's walk together and talk as we go."

The distance was not far, and the three of them walked away. Subconsciously, these two people gave Fang Jianxiong the first place. Fang Jianxiong was also polite. These two were said to be local business gentry and celebrities in Wuhu. Compared with Fang Jianxiong, who had an official position.

There is still no comparison, so there is no need to be polite. "I want the two uncles to know that Jianxiong has been entrusted by Master Futai to train soldiers. I am afraid that the two uncles and the seniors in the Wuhu business community will need help in business matters."

It is true that Mr. Geng is a great talent, but without the support of the Wuhu business community, it is difficult for the Eurasian Group to achieve anything. Take the matter of the power plant, for example. Without Wu Shishu's support, the industrial zone will have no way to access electricity.

"When it came to the power plant, Fang Jianxiong raised his hands to Wu Xingzhou and said: "Uncle Wu, this industrial zone will be expanded. I plan to inject another 120,000 yuan to expand the power plant. I don't want the shares. I just want to ensure the power supply."

Wu Xingzhou was shocked when he heard this, and said quickly: "How could this happen?"

Fang Jianxiong waved his hands and said: "Why can't you do it? If Wuhu wants to prosper, no one company can do it alone. We have to unite. The group's main business is in the industrial zone, and the power problem is left to Mingyuan Electric Lighting."

, I also have shares.”

Tang Shanfu said with a smile on the side: "The purpose of supporting the country is to prosper our country. This intention is really touching. Since last year, colleagues of the Chamber of Commerce have each received many benefits from supporting the country. Yesterday, the meeting unanimously recommended Fuguo to be the general chamber of commerce.

Prime Minister, we are here to deliver a message."

Fang Jianxiong laughed after hearing this and said: "I can't agree to this. I have to lead the troops. Mr. Gu is in charge of the industrial zone. There is no problem for Eurasia Group to join the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Gu can be an ordinary representative." Tang Shanfu added.

When he was about to speak, Fang Jianxiong said first: "Uncle Tang, don't try to persuade me. I just have something to ask your two uncles for help."

"It doesn't matter if we support the country, we will do our best!" The two said in unison. Fang Jianxiong's rejection of the Prime Minister's Chamber of Commerce was what they had expected. But they didn't expect that Gu Heng represented the Eurasia Group and was just an ordinary representative.

A humble heart is admirable.

"Right now, I have two things that I need help from the local business gentry in Wuhu. The first is that the training team and patrol camp need uniforms. As the season is about to change, I have purchased a batch of sewing machines. Please ask the two uncles.

, who is willing to be a quilt factory, I can take out the sewing machine, without any interest, I just want the capital to be returned in the future, and to complete the quilts needed by the military with guaranteed quality and quantity."

Fang Jianxiong stopped and looked at the two of them with a smile. Tang and Wu suddenly looked solemn after hearing this. This was undoubtedly an opportunity for the local government to make money. The newspaper said that Fang Jianxiong was spending a lot of money to recruit talents in Shanghai.

It seems that this means that he really wants to do something big, but he also takes good care of the fellow villagers.

"I'd better concentrate on building the power plant! It's okay to ask other people." Wu Xingzhou was tempted by this, but he had already reaped the benefits. It would be too greedy to worry about this anymore, and it would not sound good if it spread. Tang Shanfu hesitated for a moment.

Then he smiled and said: "I'll take care of this matter, and I'll make sure to find a suitable person to do it." Tang Shanfu was telling the truth, and he didn't think about doing it himself.

"Okay, let's talk about the second thing. It's early summer now, and the rain is getting more and more. When winter comes, Eurasia Group decides to fund the construction of a road to Jiangning and a deep-water dock. The wages and cement are not a big deal, but they are in this place.

Artificial supply requires the support of Wuhu's business community. I hope the two uncles will go back and speak kindly to Jianxiong. By then, all supply and demand will be supplied by Wuhu."

As soon as this statement came out, both Tang and Wu were moved. Building a road and a deep-water wharf is no joke. It is a huge investment. All aspects of the needs are left to the local government, and the profit is very small.

No. The most important thing is that after establishing this relationship, the supply and demand of the entire industrial zone, including the patrol battalion teaching team, will be a long-term business in the future.

In the face of huge interests, the two representatives of the Wuhu business community were very excited. They did not say that following them to the construction site was a matter of business. Tang Shanfu immediately said: "We will go back and tell everyone that building a country cannot rely on one household. Everyone will contribute."

A little force.

With Li Muyan's help, Fang Jianxiong obtained the title of Supervisor of the Manufacturing Bureau. On July 23, the court ordered Feng Xu to be dismissed and replaced by Jilin Governor Zhu Jiabao.

Wuhu Industrial Zone also ushered in a series of changes in July. At the end of June, the cement factory officially started operations. Fang Jianxiong, who has a bad taste, named the produced cement Conch Brand. In the middle of the month, the pharmaceutical factory was officially put into operation, with a daily output of 1,000 sulfonamides.

, after negotiation, Lihe & Co., Ltd. invested 800,000 yuan, and obtained 30% of the shares and total sales rights in China. Without the consent of Li & Co., Eurasia Group was not allowed to sell sulfonamide injections. At the end of July, Wuhu Manufacturing Bureau was officially listed and could produce

79 point bullets and repairing damaged firearms.

Feng Xu's resignation caused the second batch of short-term training students to be unable to make the trip. Before the new governor arrived, it was unknown whether Fang Jianxiong's training team could continue to exist.

For a long-term plan, Fang Jianxiong freed up his hands to formally reorganize the patrol battalion. The patrol battalion originally had a shortage of more than 300 people, but only 200 people were eliminated. Another 800 battalions were recruited, with three sentries per battalion. The so-called patrol battalion.

The battalion is selling dog meat on sheep's heads. It is essentially the establishment of two battalions of the New Army. The whole Wuhu County has a good relationship with Fang Jianxiong. Customs Dao Wenhuan was transferred again, and the new Li Daotai accepted Fang Jianxiong's benefits. Naturally, it was not

Can gossip.

The two battalions of patrol battalions were directly moved to the newly built military camp outside the city. The original garrison in the city was completely razed. The Eurasia Group carried out extensive construction work and started construction of a three-story building that will serve as the future headquarters of the group. Fang Jianxiong also discussed with Zhu Xiufeng,

Eurasia Group invested money to repair the streets in the city, determined to change the dirty and messy appearance of the past. Zhu Xiufeng naturally agreed with this, and he didn't want to pay for it anyway.

In early August, a river ship docked at the Wuhu Pier. A middle-aged man got off the ship, followed by six attendants with bulging bags around his waist. After the middle-aged man asked his attendants to inquire about it, he found someone to lead the way out of the city.

Coming from the military camp.

"Why do you need to come here in person?" The person beside the man said with a smile. The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said: "The chaos in Anhui is rampant, so it is not easy to be a Futai. Sun Muhan urgently called me to entrust me to take care of his disciple Fang Fuguo, and also

It is said that Fang Fuguo is dedicated to benefiting Sangzi, and he is worried that he will not join the army, thus wasting this talent. Moreover, the newspapers have made a lot of noise, I would like to come and see for myself, because what I hear is false, and what I see is believing."

Looking back at the military camp, a group of people walked dozens of steps away and could hear the loud shouts coming from the camp. The middle-aged man couldn't help but praise and said: "What a vibrant military camp!"

After walking ten steps away, the sentry at the entrance of the camp raised his gun and said: "Stop, the military camp is an important place. No idlers are allowed to enter."
