Chapter 65: Industrial Wave (Part 1)

Zhu Jiabao pondered for a moment, then Fang Jianxiong said: "In this humble position, I only have one attendant and two German instructors. The others stay in Anqing to protect your safety."

Zhu Jiabao then relaxed and said: "That's fine, Fu Guo, if you are not around, I will not be so peaceful in my heart."

This sentence made many people jealous, with all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred! Unfortunately, this is a time when there is no reason to reason. Even though Fang Jianxiong did not lead troops to disrupt the party, he and his men always guarded Zhu Jiabao. This is The treatment of confidants.

At night, under the dim light! Li Qianyu, with a serious face, spoke in a low and solemn voice to the three members of the Qiangguo Society who were developed by his own hands. "Comrades, now convey the latest instructions from the superior leaders!" This superior leader is naturally Fang Jianxiong, Li Qianyu and Fang Jianxiong have a single line of contact.

They conveyed what Fang Jianxiong had said solemnly, and when they heard the end, the three of them were all excited.

"Comrades, the instructions from the superior leaders are very timely and inspiring. We must keep the instructions from our superiors in mind and carefully preserve ourselves. Only by preserving the power of the revolution can we strive for greater victory. At the same time, we must not forget other things. At present, the two reactionaries Zhu Jiabao and Yu Dahong are frantically arresting revolutionary comrades. After everyone returns, contact your comrades and do your best to rescue these comrades, but the prerequisite must be your own safety. Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

Many years later, Li Yifeng, a revolutionary who was one of the participants, recalled: On that night when the revolution was at its lowest ebb, on that suffocating night of white terror! My superior conveyed the spirit of the chief instructor’s instructions. After careful study and research, the comrades saw that We have gained hope for the victory of the revolution and found the direction to work hard! The chief instructor’s speech is like a ship sailing in the night seeing a lighthouse! Like a difficult traveler in the desert seeing an oasis!

It was already a day after Fang Jianxiong returned to Wuhu. He left Anqing not because he was afraid of problems with Wuhu's foundation, but because he didn't want to get caught up in the chaos in Anqing. If Zhu Jiabao wanted to kill people, Fang Jianxiong wouldn't persuade him or not. Just leave and stay out of it to avoid being criticized later! In these days, a good reputation is still very important!

There was a bloody storm in Anqing City. Zhu Jiabao instructed Yu Dahong to go on a killing spree, killing more than 300 people including Xue Zhe and Fan Chuanjia. Amidst the mourning, there was also something gratifying. Zhang Jinfu, Zheng Yangyuan, Zhou Zhengfeng, Zhang Zhigong, Zhang On Xingwu, Hu Wenbin and others escaped from Anqing under the cover of the teaching team of the New Army and came to Wuhu. Fang Jianxiong settled these people in the patrol camp. More than ten days later, Leng Yu returned and brought back more than 300 Xiong Chengji troops A few days later, Cheng Zhixuan led more than 30 people to Wuhu to defect to Wuhu, and Fang Jianxiong also accepted the offer.

From Zhu Jiabao's side, Fang Jianxiong sent a letter saying: The special agent squad was ordered to track down Xiong Chengji and wait for an opportunity to assassinate the Xiong thief. After failing, he inspired hundreds of new army soldiers who were followers of the thief and are now settled in Wuhu. Zhu Jiabao is asking for instructions on what to do. deal with.

Zhu Jiabao trusted Fang Jianxiong very much and wrote back: "Handle it yourself!"

Yu Dahong and Zhu Jiabao caused public outrage from all walks of life in Anhui because of excessive killings. You must know that there are officials and part-time officers in the New Army, all of whom are from good families. The families of these people have certain influence in the local area, and their family members were killed. Naturally, they refused to give up. Later, the censors Chang Xin and Chen Shantong stepped forward to stand on the standpoint of fellow Anhui people and support Gong Zhenpeng, the representative of the victims who went to Beijing to file a lawsuit, and proposed impeachment against Zhu and Yu. As a result, Zhu Jiabao was reprimanded by a decree. , Yu Dahong withdrew his mission and will never be used again.

Yu Dahong was dismissed. Duan Fang believed that Fang Jianxiong could be the successor to the New Army Association. Zhu Jiabao believed this and urgently sent Fang Jianxiong to Anqing to succeed him. Fang Jianxiong declined because he was too young to convince the public and his mother did not want to leave Wuhu. Duan Fang and Zhu Jiabao declined.

After several attempts to persuade him, the post of Huncheng Thirty-one Association Co-ordinator was temporarily vacant!

……………………

The year 1908 of the New Calendar passed quietly, and the Qing Dynasty in 1909 struggled to continue amidst turmoil.

Sun Baoqi, who returned from Germany, encountered a small crisis. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the good days of changing posts to pay homage to his brother Yuan Shikai came to an end. The new rich people led by Zai Chun and Tie Liang could no longer tolerate the Beiyang Prime Minister. Guangxu,

Before Cixi's body was cold, Yuan Shikai was forced to return to his hometown of Xiangcheng, Henan Province to recuperate because of his "bad feet." There is a legend that Zai Chun wanted to kill Yuan Shikai, and Yuan Jing's buttocks urinated. This statement is suspected of holding a excrement basin, and it cannot be believed.

.

Fortunately, Sun Baoqi also has an in-law named Yikuang, so his own safety is no problem. There is also a good student Fang Jianxiong. When he learned that the teacher was having trouble finding a job after returning to China, he sent people to the capital to visit the teacher, and sent him some local products and a letter.

Attached is a banknote with a denomination of 200,000 silver dollars. Fang Jianxiong said in the letter: "I was very happy to hear that the teacher had returned to the country. I should have gone to the capital to pay him a visit in person. However, the Anqing Bear Party broke out, and the student, as a soldier, was guarding one side and did not dare to do so.

I am leaving my job. Now I offer a small amount of silver coins for my teacher to travel to the capital. If there is any shortage, please call Wuhu urgently, and the students will do their best to contribute. I wish my teacher to seal the border as soon as possible!"

After reading the letter and then looking at the banknote, Sun Baoqi was full of emotions. It was just a whim to accept such a student, but he did not expect that this student was so ambitious. Not to mention the big business after returning to China, he helped this student at the critical moment.

teacher.

Sun Baoqi thought about it again and again, and wrote back: "I'm very happy to hear this letter! I've already made plans to become the governor of Shandong, so don't think about it!" He also said: "The atmosphere of the new dynasty is the time when great achievements can be made in supporting the country. If you have any difficulties, you may as well call and help.

The teacher in the capital can mediate on his behalf." Finally, he recalled the past scenes in Germany and gave Fang Jianxiong some words of encouragement before he started writing.

The teacher and student kept up the correspondence. Before the Spring Festival, Fang Jianxiong held a banquet in the best restaurant in Wuhu City and invited celebrities from all over Wuhu to attend and discuss plans for the next year.

The chaos in Anqing had almost no impact on Wuhu. During the dry season of the Yangtze River in winter, the construction of Wuhu Terminal officially started, which once again confirmed the strong strength of Eurasia Group. Tang Shanfu and Wu Xingzhou, who cooperated with Eurasia Group, were in power plants, clothing factories, and shoe stores.

In other fields, the profits were huge, which immediately triggered a wave of cooperation with the Eurasia Group in the entire local area.

All the local celebrities who had received the invitation were present. For a time, celebrities gathered in the Linjiang Tower, and it became a big event in Wuhu before the end of the year.

As a giant in Wuhu's business community, Zhang Weifan also received an invitation from the Eurasian Group. In 1894, Zhang Weifan founded "Wuhu Yixin Rice and Noodle Machine Company" and "Wuhu Yixin Oil Pressing Machine Company", which can be said to be the first industrial industry in Wuhu, and later changed their names.

"Wuhu Yixin Machinery Flour Grinding, Rice Milling and Oil Extraction Co., Ltd."

The rise of Eurasia Group has benefited Zhang Weifan a lot, especially the long-term stability of military procurement, and a large number of orders came in before the Chinese New Year. Zhang Weifan was naturally interested in such a large customer. Tang and Wu, two people who cooperated with Eurasia

The role model made Zhang Weifan, who had always hoped to expand his industry, be tempted.

Zhang Weifan invited Gu Heng to get together several times, but they couldn't get together because Gu Heng kept running back and forth between Shanghai and Wuhu. Zhang Weifan also went to the room to ask to see Fang Jianxiong, but he didn't expect that this man was really busy. He was away from home all day, Zhang Weifan

I went several times and all I saw were Fang Youxiao and Fang Mei. Later, Fang Jianxiong went to Anqing, and it became even more difficult to meet and have a good talk.

Zhang Weifan went out early that day. When he arrived at Linjiang Tower, he didn't expect that many people had already arrived in the building. When he was standing downstairs, he saw a familiar sedan coming. Li Zhonghao, the Prime Minister of the Chamber of Commerce, also came. As the former resident,

The British Consul, Li Zhonghao, has a more official tone. As the Prime Minister of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Zhonghao basically ignores things due to his old age and just hangs his name. The specific affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are taken care of by Tang Shanfu.

Li Zhonghao's appearance attracted a group of business people to greet him. Responsible for the reception were Li Muyan, Fang Jianxiong's new staff and executive vice president of Eurasia Group, and George, vice president and manager of the external affairs department. Both of them were wearing robes.

Standing at the door to greet him, George seemed a bit nondescript, which aroused some good-natured laughter.

"Why didn't you see Fang Fuguo and Gu Shanxue?" Li Zhonghao was so respected that he asked about this when he got off the sedan chair. Others wanted to ask but were too embarrassed to ask.

George's Chinese has improved very quickly, and he can basically speak some daily conversations. This is due to Fang Zhainan's trick of sleeping with the master if he wants to learn quickly. He also hired a kiln girl in Wuhu, and he definitely didn't have the money.

Shaohua. Oriental women's ability to serve men is not comparable to that of foreign women. George stayed in Wuhu for half a year and changed his clothes to Chinese style.

"The president was called by the chairman to discuss important matters, and he will come a little later." George stammered, but he didn't hide his clumsiness and tried his best to speak more Chinese. Li Zhonghao went upstairs with a smile. Behind him were Tang Shanfu and Wu Xing

Zhou and Zhang Weifan were the three giants in Wuhu business circles.

Li Muyan was considered a newcomer at the Eurasia Group. After leaving Feng Xu, he immediately turned to join Fang Jianxiong. Currently, he was mainly responsible for some domestic business dealings with the government. Fang Jianxiong treated him well and gave him the position of vice president of the Eurasia Group.

The annual basic salary is NT$2,000, and there is also 0.5% dry stock dividend from Eurasia Group. This salary is much more beneficial than what Li Muyan was under Feng Xu.

Li Muyan was also a Shaoxing master, and had good relationships with many township party masters. Fang Jianxiong attached great importance to Li Muyan, and many masters in these years had a huge influence on Dong Weng.

Sitting upstairs to serve tea, Li Zhonghao spoke on behalf of the Wuhu business community: "The Eurasia Group has suddenly emerged and become a new representative of Wuhu's local industry. This Prime Minister is deeply gratified. Fang Fuguo is so proud that he never forgets his hometown and builds industries to benefit the country. Here, on behalf of the Wuhu business community, this Prime Minister

Show your respects!”
