When the northern China is covered with ice and snow in January, the sun is scorching along the Galiyan River near the equator. Walking under the hot sunshine, the surface of the body will soon be covered with dripping sweat, but in
In the shade, the wet and fishy sea breeze blows, but it feels extremely comfortable.
Kalimantan, also known as Borneo, is the third largest island in the world, located in the middle of the Malay Archipelago in Southeast Asia. It is bounded by Sumatra to the west, Sulawesi to the east, the Java Sea to the south, and the South China Sea to Java Island.
The northwest end of the island is called Brunei City by local indigenous people.
, the Chinese call it the city of Bo Ni. It is one of several very large cities on the island. The city covers an area of about 12 square kilometers. Due to the rapid influx of Chinese after September 18, the current population is about 200,000.
To the left and right is the area where Chinese people are concentrated on the island.
Lu Kaiming was walking on the concrete road leading from the port to Boni City, admiring the beautiful scenery along the way. All along the bay, he saw dense tropical forests, lush and endless, with bright flower clusters dotted from time to time.
.Exceptionally gorgeous. Big from a distance
The sea is blue and clear. It reflects the charming brilliance in the sun. The sky is blue and washes, contrasting with the calm sea. The beaches and roads in the distance are densely covered with coconut trees and banana trees, and exotic low houses are scattered in twos and threes.
, quiet and quaint.
Accompanying Lu Kaiming is Fei Xu, the person in charge of the Ou family in Bo Nicheng. He is young, about 25 or 26 years old, tall and thin. His eyes are shrewd. Fei Xu is also Ou Yaoting.
Adopted orphan, graduated from the Department of Politics of Oxford University, UK, and is responsible for Bo Ni
The city's affairs have been going on for more than a year. Under his careful management, the Ou family's dozens of rubber plantations, more than 100 farms, more than 10 mining sites and more than 20 factories and enterprises in the Boni area are in good order.
With an output value of tens of millions, Ou Yaoting is very optimistic about this young man.
Behind them were Lu Kaiming's assistant Zheng Jun and Hongxing Society's hall leader Feng Zhihe at the Bo Ni Hall. Behind them were the accompanying guards and members of the Hongxing Society at the local hall. Everyone was training camp
Almost all of them knew each other when we were there. It was so pleasant to meet up again after a long absence to talk and laugh!
Lu Kaiming came here mainly to raise the food needed for the Anti-Japanese War in North China. Another reason is that the group company is growing step by step, and the demand for raw materials is increasing day by day, such as the pharmaceutical factory producing Pennine cinchona, and the rubber needed by the automobile factory.
Raw materials, tin, nickel and other raw materials for alloy factories need to be imported from Nanyang
Ou Yaoting Group's enterprises are no longer able to take care of both. Lu Kaiming very much hopes to use his own efforts to further develop the Nanyang market with the assistance of Ou Yaoting Group, thereby expanding the market.
The business scope of Nanhua Group is growing step by step.
With the food shortage, many people may wonder, where has the food shipped from the United States gone? It turns out that although the cheap food purchased from the United States has been continuously shipped to China in recent years, due to the continuous natural and man-made disasters in China, coupled with the repeated military disasters, every time it is sent
The food that arrived was always divided up quickly, and the Great Wall War consumed a lot of money this time. An Yi had to find a way to find another source of goods, and Lu Kaiming was determined to make a career, so he took this trip.
After walking for a while, Lu Kaiming found that the development of Balni was not as good as expected. Most of the houses seen along the way were low thatched houses. There were some scattered handicraft workshops on both sides of the road. From time to time, farmers could be seen working in the fields under the scorching sun.
Farming. Lu Kaiming observed carefully and found that most of the fields were cash crops, such as coffee, tea, spices, etc. Only occasionally could he see some rice fields.
Seemingly discovering Lu Kaiming's doubts, Fei Xu explained: "Brother Lu is not sure whether we can produce 500,000 tons of grain, right? In fact, such a large amount of grain would definitely not be possible in the first two years.
, but now they are rich. After September 18, 2018, with the influx of refugees from floods in the Northeast and the Yangtze and Huaihe River basins, agricultural production in Borneo and other places in Southeast Asia has developed rapidly.
"Most of the indigenous people in Nanyang are lazy. Since this place is close to the equator, there is plenty of sunshine and rain. Generally, a family can survive well by planting one or two acres of land, so no one takes the initiative to open up wasteland to develop production. We Chinese are different.
In addition to satisfying food and clothing, there are also higher pursuits, so
In the past two years, there have been scenes of land reclamation everywhere in Southeast Asia. Many farms and plantations were created from scratch. It only took two or three people at the same time. The British, Dutch and other colonial authorities were also happy to see this situation. After all, the economy was developing.
They can also reap huge benefits, so they have always turned a blind eye to this.
"Take Borneo as an example. Over the past few years, more than 800,000 people have been resettled. With the help of our Oushi Group, 3,218 new farms and 467 plantations have been opened on the island.
.Connected from north to south, such as
Today, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a land of plenty. Most of the port area you see is saline-alkali land, and the land is poor, so you have many questions. When you enter Balni City and then leave the city, you can see my Balni City.
It’s a great sight.”
Lu Kaiming nodded repeatedly: "This puts me at ease. I have read the calendar of Borneo. It is strange to say that this island is rich in products and is obviously a geomantic treasure land. Why did the Manchu Qing Dynasty treat the local Chinese who donated land and rosters?
Why does the regime show disdain? If it had taken it in, this would have been my Chinese territory."
Fei Xu smiled faintly: "Even if we return it to China, we can't keep it. Don't you see, North Korea, Ryukyu, Taiwan and other places are no longer in our embrace of China. Now we have even lost Northeast China. In the blink of an eye, Mongolia and North China are also in danger. If the country is not prosperous and strong, the more territory it has, the more territory it has."
It makes people miss me, this is also the sorrow of my Chinese man!"
Lu Kaiming sighed: "This is also the reason why I decisively followed the commander after returning to China. Looking across China, Commander An is the only one who can clearly realize the crisis facing the country and rise up to resist. He took my purchase of grain this time as an example.
How many people will pay their own money for the sake of the country and the nation? How difficult!”
Fei Xu expressed admiration: "Of course my uncle didn't say anything. That's why our Oushi Group has merged the business of various brother groups and provided convenience in many aspects. It's for this country and for the suffering people."
Chinese nation.”
While the two were talking, they unknowingly approached the gate of Balni City and saw a group of Chinese people gathered together from a distance, crying and talking.
Zheng Jun and Feng Zhihe, who had been following behind and chatting and laughing, looked at each other and quickly caught up with Lu Kaiming and Fei Xu, signaling them to stay behind for the time being to ensure their safety. They also told the brothers who were following them to take precautions, and then they strode towards the crowd.
A few minutes later, the two returned to Lu Kaiming and Fei Xu, and Feng Zhihe briefly introduced:
"The Wang Laoshi family who immigrated here from the Northeast were not satisfied with the nearly 100 acres of land they cultivated. They also bought a rubber plantation with a loan from the Ou family's Xinghua Bank. The family's hard work is now finally harvesting. Who knows?
Thinking of the nearby natives, they harvested all the mature rubber overnight. Wang Lao was so angry that he went to England
The colonial government sued the natives. Unexpectedly, the British colonial authorities arrested Wang Laoshi instead and asked his family to spend 100 yuan as ransom. They were released from prison in the morning. When he returned home, he was very angry. After lunch, he
Back to the theory of the British colonial government, who wants to be beaten out with sticks and is now seeking death and survival at the city gate!"
Lu Kaiming was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Brother Fei, is there no different body clams in Borneo?" He said that reading is good, so he was shocked... hitting the law and Zaize.
Are you here to protect the lives and property of our valuable people?” “※
Fei Xu gave a wry smile: "Although the population ratio of us Chinese in Nanyang is getting larger and larger, due to the weakening of the country, we can't even stand up straight. Generally, if something goes wrong, we can only rely on relationships to solve the problem. In fact,
What happened to Wang Laoshi is very common, but both the British and the Dutch colonial authorities resented supporting the natives to suppress us Chinese. Generally, when the natives committed crimes, they would be punished by each other, and many Chinese families were bankrupted because of this."
Lu Kaiming frowned slightly and looked at Feng Zhihe: "Since your Hongxing Society has a hall here, why don't you think of any way to deal with it?"
Feng Zhihe said: "Our main task is to develop members and make money, but generally as long as someone joins the Hongxing Society, no matter who gets into trouble, we will find ways to get back the situation, and those natives don't dare to mess with us anymore.
People who build societies.
But Wang Laoshi is timid by nature. When I tried to mobilize him to join the Hongxing Society, he was rejected. Now that something like this has happened, it’s hard for us to come forward to help, otherwise what will other members who have paid membership fees think?"
Zheng Jun's face turned ugly: "I thought you were helpless. It turns out that you have to join the Hongxing Society to be protected. We have promised to give the best care to every refugee who comes to Nanyang, but now we are facing this kind of situation."
Doesn’t this situation slap our An Jiajun in the face? I firmly oppose this practice of getting paid to do things."
Lu Kaiming was very interested in what Feng Zhihe said: "Tell me, how did you get the indigenous and colonial authorities to make concessions?"
Feng Zhihe blushed at Zheng Jun's words. However, Hongxing Society was originally deeply influenced by An Yi, and later grew rapidly with the support of An Jiajun. Its thinking, training and system all have the style of An Jiajun.
Zheng Jun had a very high status in Nanhua Company and was a member of Chen Biao, the boss of Hongxing Society, so he felt depressed for a moment, lowered his head and answered:
"Generally, we use kidnapping, intimidation and declarations of force to force the indigenous and colonial authorities to surrender. The indigenous people are scattered and naturally swarm in the face of interests, but they appear to be very timid in the face of absolute force. Our Bo Ni Tangkou
There is a special operations team of more than fifty people, equipped with long and short guns and automatic firepower. Every time something happens, we send troops to the border, and the natives immediately surrender.
They are obedient and don't even dare to say a fart. The colonial authorities are not willing to cause big troubles, and usually make big troubles trivial. If the people in our Hongxing Society suffered a big loss from the white officials, we
We will secretly kidnap people and let them see our skills. Then we will take a few nude photos and photos of bribes and compensation as evidence. They will not dare to say anything when they go back, and they will naturally get things done."
Although Fei Xu and Feng Zhihe live in the same place, they have never been in contact with each other before. Now that he heard the shocking methods of Hongxing Society, his eyes lit up: "What a brilliant move! It turns out that there is such a way to deal with these scoundrels. I
Why didn’t you think of that before?”
At this time, Lu Kaiming had passed through the crowd and came to the crowded crowd. The Chinese who were separated to watch the excitement knelt down in front of Wang Laoshi, who was crying completely: "Fellow, stop crying. Men don't shed tears easily. Let's
The Chinese are in a foreign country. They cannot be looked down upon!"
When Wang Laoshi heard this comforting voice, he cried even louder.
Lu Kaiming smiled bitterly and shook his head, and continued to comfort: "Fellow, if you cry again, I can't help you. I promise you, as long as you stop crying and talk to us for a while, we will be responsible for helping you remove the rubber
How about getting the fine back?"
"Really? You're not lying to me?" Wang Laoshi immediately stopped crying and raised his head to look at Lu Kaiming.
Lu Kaiming nodded and pulled down Feng Zhihe who was coming to his side: "You know this guy, right? You should be able to trust me if I ask him to take action."
Wang Laoshi glanced at Feng Zhihe sheepishly: "I know you. If I had known that this would happen, I would have joined the Hongxing Society. Otherwise, nothing would have happened and the world would not work."
Lu Kaiming said: "Whether you join Hongxing or not, you and I are all Chinese, and we should get help if there is a problem. I promise you that life will get better in the future. Those who oppress us, we
I won’t let anyone go.”
"Really?" Wang Laoshi's eyes lit up, then slowly dimmed: "Impossible. This is the territory of white people, and we will not let us do whatever we want!"
"How would you know if you haven't tried it? But I do think that we Chinese should stick together as a team, otherwise we will be like a plate of loose sand. That doesn't work!"
Lu Kaiming stood up and said to a group of Chinese people watching: "Today it was Wang Laoshi who suffered. What if you suffer tomorrow? I know there is no harm in everyone gathering to watch, but does this mean anything to change the situation of us Chinese?
?You are really a man and you should unite, otherwise you will only be bullied."
The people around him lowered their heads in shame, and Lu Kaiming continued: "My name is Lu Kaiming, and I am the manager of Nanhua Company. In the future, Nanhua Company will open branches in Boni City and even the entire Nanyang region. If you have anything to do, you can come to Nanhua Company."
Companies looking for help."
Everyone was talking about it, "Is this possible? Nanhua Company? I seem to have never heard of it." "Is it related to Hongxing Society, which collects protection fees?"
Lu Kaiming did not answer these questions. He took Feng Zhihe's hand and went to the side to discuss for a while. Then he said honestly to Wang who was looking at him eagerly:
"Wang Laoshi, right? You can go to Hongxingshe with us now. Wait a moment, and we will go to your plantation together. I want to meet these natives in person."
Fei Xu became anxious when he heard this: "Brother Lu, it's dangerous. Those natives are unreasonable. If you do something bad, how can I explain it to my adoptive father?"
Zheng Jun smiled and said: "Brother, don't worry. Now I know Hua Qibaba from the people of Hongxing Society. I know the strength of many brothers, and Mr. Lu will be fine. When we were in Hong Kong, we didn't know about us Chinese in Nanyang."
The living environment is so harsh, so I take this opportunity to see something."
Lu Kaiming nodded: "We Chinese have been weak for a long time and are used to being submissive. But now that even the United States, where racial discrimination is prevalent, looks at us Chinese with admiration, why doesn't Nanyang make some appropriate changes? If our nation wants to develop, we must make progress.
To get the right
The victory in the war against Japan must broaden our living space, and Nanyang is a beneficial extension. Therefore, this is not only a matter for the Ou Group, but also a matter for all of us Chinese. Since this matter is a matter of
If it happens, I can’t just stand by and watch.”
"Expand living space?"
Fei Xu nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly felt that he should tell his adoptive father Ou Yaoting all this, maybe he would be enlightened.
