According to Zhang Tinglan's plan, the total commercial area of the entire North Market has reached 50 square meters. In addition, more than 1.2 million square meters of follow-up development land has been planned. This part of the follow-up land is mainly in the north of the Huangsi. It is also the direction of expansion of the entire Fengtian City.
With economic development, cities will inevitably expand. It is necessary to reserve enough land, and the same will be true for the future South Market. There are two most important places in the North Market, one is Huangsi and the other is Shenyang Station. China In history, many temples often developed into prosperous commercial districts because they were able to attract a large number of people through temple fairs, such as the famous Daxiangguo Temple in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The Huangsi Temple is also the largest temple in Fengtian. The bells of the Huangsi Temple are known as one of the eight scenic spots in Fengtian. Around the Huangsi Temple, shopping malls, bank accounts and other financial institutions are mainly built. In addition, Fengtian, Security, and Cloud Pavilion are also planned. Three cinemas.
In addition to cinemas, there are also large and small theaters, and special small stages are also set up in teahouses, mainly to attract artists from all over the world to perform. The Republic of China was an era when opera became very popular, with numerous famous actors and audiences from all over the world. It is a completely attractive thing. Everyone from all walks of life likes to listen to plays and books, even the lowest coolies. They sweat profusely during the day, and when they have some free time, they go to the theater to listen to a piece.
In later generations, these things were praised as the quintessence of the country and became the real temple culture. As a result, they were separated from the common people. Without the support of the audience, even the quintessence of the country will decline day by day. It is really sad.
Another construction focus is Shenyang Railway Station, which is the terminal station of the Beijing-Fengtian Railway. Initially, Shenyang Station was actually Huanggutun Railway Station. Later, the Beijing-Fengtian Railway was extended to Fengtian City, and a new Shenyang Station was built. As for The original train station was changed to Huanggutun Station.
This is also the only major transportation artery controlled by the Chinese that leads to the inner pass. Its economic significance and strategic value are inestimable. Developing this area will be of great help in competing with the Japanese-controlled South Manchuria Railway.
Therefore, Zhang Tinglan set up this place as a warehousing and logistics center. On the one hand, railway transportation brought a large amount of materials within the customs, with this as the end point, and then transported to various places. In addition, products from the three eastern provinces were also transported here, passing through the Beijing-Fenghuang Railway to various places. , this kind of behavior is undoubtedly competing with the South-Manchuria Railway. Everyone knows that those closest to the water are on a first-come-first-serve basis, and major businessmen will try their best to use the Beijing-Fenghuang Railway due to cost considerations.
Liu Shucheng and others decisively supported Zhang Tinglan's move. They had invested in advance to reserve a large number of warehouses and shops. In fact, this was the biggest difference in the development of the North Market. In the original history, the measures Zhang Zuolin took when developing the North Market were similar to The development of commercial port land in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was similar. The government demarcated the area and then simply divided the land. The merchants paid for the land number and then built it themselves.
This approach actually has advantages, that is, it saves money. When the Manchus opened up commercial ports, they only spent 50,000 taels of silver to acquire the land. This amount of money is not a large amount for Zhang Tinglan now.
However, this way of doing things in their own way will inevitably lead to chaos in construction, waste in water, electricity, transportation, etc., and the functions of the city will be seriously affected. As a latecomer, Zhang Tinglan has always insisted that the entire commercial district must be planned as a whole to determine the overall pattern. As for businessmen, they can have their own style, but it cannot affect the integrity.
However, due to Zhang Tinglan's persistence, the entire initial investment was astonishingly large. Acquisition of land, expansion of roads, improvement of water and electricity facilities, and construction of blocks all required huge sums of money. Especially the huge construction team and staggering amount of building materials were a gold-swallowing tiger.
.
Zhang Zuolin initially didn't understand Zhang Tinglan's approach, thinking it was too energy-consuming and expensive. However, Zhang Tinglan was very determined, and he also raised enough funds through Daosheng Bank. In addition, businessmen in Fengtian wanted to join Zhang Tinglan's war.
Che, and did not hesitate to invest in Xingye Company to provide sufficient funds and personnel for the entire construction work. Therefore, Xingye Company's book financial resources are very sufficient.
After the preliminary planning and preparations were completed, the day for the official groundbreaking came. All walks of life in Fengtian gathered here, which was more lively than during the Chinese New Year. In particular, there were many businessmen who were busy as usual, and they were all smiling. Zhang Tinglan could vaguely feel among these people.
It becomes a core.
At this time, Lao Zhang also guessed the reason why Zhang Tinglan was so persistent. As the saying goes, the greater the investment, the greater the harvest. Zhang Tinglan spent huge sums of money to lay all the foundations of the North Market. These businessmen did not have to worry at all. After it was completed, they would
Being able to open business quickly, naturally everyone has to fawn over Zhang Tinglan, otherwise he can kick you out with a wave of his hand.
The relationship between the businessmen attracted by Xingye Company and the North Market and Zhang Tinglan has become closer and closer. It can be said that they are a community of interests. These people are people with huge energy and powerful eyes. Becoming an alliance with them can bring great help.
It's really huge.
Zhang Tinglan was also very excited to be able to do this, but he also knew that he was just a junior, so he could not be too high-profile. He put Zhang Zuolin in front of him in everything, and took the initiative to bring Lao Zhang to meet with businessmen in Fengtian. Zhang Zuolin also took photos
I sincerely promise you that the 27th Division will definitely provide you with the best safety guarantee. You can just operate with peace of mind, and if you have any problems, please contact Zhang.
Everyone's interest was boosted. Seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, Fengtian Governor Zhang Xiluan still refused to show up. This made everyone a little worried, not to mention what this old bad guy had in mind.
Just when everyone was suspicious, Zhang Xiluan's guard came running over on his high horse. After seeing Zhang Zuolin, he hurriedly rolled off his saddle and saluted Lao Zhang.
"Mr. Zhang, the Governor was originally going to come, but he has been feeling cold and unwell these past two days, so it is difficult to come. He asked me to apologize to the sages from all walks of life in Fengtian on his behalf. In addition, the old Governor also said that Mr. Zhang is young, capable, and capable.
He has the courage to handle everything."
After finishing speaking, the guard captain turned around, mounted his horse and left. Everyone around him listened to his few words. The most evocative words were "capable and courageous", which is quite polite.
The translation of the argument is that Zhang Zuolin has the ability and courage to oust him as the governor. If the old man can't offend you, why can't he avoid you?
In fact, Zhang Xiluan was indeed angry, and his anger was overwhelming. The core of a city is the commercial district. Zhang Zuolin and his men openly developed a commercial center, but they didn't even say hello in advance. When everyone was ready, from then on
Can Zhang Xiluan bear it if an invitation is sent to him to attend?
After all, this man is also known as a fast horseman. When he was young, he was proficient in bow and horse, and he was also a general. Unexpectedly, he was bullied like this by a junior when he was older. The old man was completely angered, but he had no other abilities.
, we can only close the door and thank guests, making a silent protest.
In fact, the reason why Zhang Xiluan is so angry is because of profit. According to the plan, the security and taxation of the North Market are all handled by Xingye Company. In Zhang Xiluan's view, this is controlled by Zhang Zuolin. The tax rate implemented in the North Market is completely different from that in other areas of Fengtian, and so are the police.
It is a system of its own. To put it bluntly, this is the business kingdom of China.
Faced with a fat man dripping with oil, Zhang Xiluan, the dignified governor of the three eastern provinces and in charge of the military affairs of the three eastern provinces, could only watch helplessly. Even a clay figure has a certain earthly nature.
Zhang Xiluan was having a bad temper, and so was Zhang Zuolin. When he saw that this old bad guy actually let him eat soft nails, Zhang Zuolin's eyes also flashed with a spark of brilliance.
Lao Zhang suppressed his anger, put on a smile and said to the wise men from all walks of life in Fengtian: "Everyone, my godfather has worked hard for the country these years, guarding one side, and spent a lot of effort. As his godson, I will definitely do it for him.
Let the old man share his worries and let him enjoy his grandson comfortably."
Zhang Zuolin's words were equally sinister. He was directly telling everyone that Zhang Xiluan, the old bad guy, should get out of class and go away. From now on, Zhang Yuting will have the final say.
Logically speaking, what Lao Zhang said was a bit treacherous, but the businessmen present secretly applauded. Since they were tied to the 27th Division's chariot, they hoped that a strong figure would provide them with protection and allow them to survive.
He survived in the cracks between the government and foreigners, so the tougher Zhang Zuolin became, the happier everyone was, and there was a way out with him.
Without the participation of Zhang Xiluan, the entire groundbreaking ceremony went smoothly. Zhang Zuolin personally unveiled the archway of the North Market and symbolically dug the first shovel of soil. The project started immediately. Qiao Ruixuan was mainly responsible for the construction work. He and the hired Western engineers
Direct workers to work together.
Just when everything was starting smoothly, Liu Shucheng hurriedly found Zhang Tinglan. An anxious look appeared on Liu Shucheng's face when he met him: "Master Zhang, our grain truck was impounded at the birch bark factory, and they asked us to pay tolls."
, otherwise we will confiscate all the grain. Our grain store ships so much every day, it will be troublesome if we cannot supply it!"
Zhang Tinglan's brows suddenly stood up: "Old Liu, don't worry, there is no one on the ground in Fengtian that we are afraid of. If anyone wants to die, we will help him."
"Master Zhang, I have inquired about it. The person who robbed our grain truck is the local powerful Gao family. Mr. Gao is the father of Gao Ming, the director of Fengtian Finance Bureau. The Gao family is numerous and powerful, and they use Gao Ming's power to do whatever they want, causing harm to the village.
, the most outrageous thing."
After Zhang Tinglan and Liu Shucheng cooperated, they initially sent a lot of soldiers to escort him. If anyone turned their backs, these bandit soldiers would never be polite. After a while, everyone in the local area understood that this group of people was untouchable.
, so when they saw the neat carriage convoy, they naturally stayed away from each other. Later, they simply stopped sending soldiers to escort them. As a result, something went wrong.
"A finance chief dares to come out to seek death. I am worried that I can't find the chicken, so let him know what it means to touch the tiger's butt!"
