The lush green ten-mile foreign market is a dazzling huāhuā world. People of all colors and shapes are filled with it, and all kinds of weird things happen every day. This is Great Shanghai!
It is full of challenges and dangers, but also full of opportunities.
Wang Hengyue arrived in Shanghai and immediately met with the consuls of various countries in Shanghai. This time, his identity was the President of the Republic of China government who was about to unify China.
Regarding Wang Hengyue's Shanghai, the attitude of consuls from various countries is optimistic. The abilities displayed by this young president have been fully recognized.
"Shanghai's economic and social order has been greatly damaged and must be restored immediately." Wang Hengyue said bluntly: "I need the strong assistance of all consuls. The order within the concession is the responsibility of each country, and the order outside the concession is up to us.
Be responsible. Only by working together can we ensure the prosperity of Shanghai."
This sentence undoubtedly gives reassurance to all countries.
This great president is still his staunchest ally, not a hot-headed revolutionary.
Indeed, Wang Hengyue strictly prohibited himself from being hot-headed and doing irrational things before the foundation was firmly established. Now is not the time to touch the freak of the concession.
The consuls of the United States, Britain and France quickly expressed their great welcome to Wang Hengyue's attitude and expressed their willingness to do their best to assist the President in completing the governance of Shanghai.
"I think you all have seen the chaos in Shanghai." Wang Hengyue said unhurriedly: "First came the army, Lu Yongxiang, and then the gangster leaders. I know that these gangster leaders helped you do it.
Many things, but their existence is just a cancer for Shanghai. Once the time is right, this cancer will explode quickly, and the destructive power it brings far exceeds the benefits it brings. It is a large part of the source of Shanghai's unrest.
The above also comes from this.”
This point touched the hearts of the British and French consuls.
In the past, they relied on those rogue tycoons to a certain extent, but after the turmoil broke out in Shanghai, the bad influence made them passive. Their own interests were also greatly affected.
The cancer was planted by themselves. And now this cancer needs to be removed by the president!
The meeting lasted for more than two hours. Wang Hengyue and the consuls of the United States, Britain and France reached a unanimous agreement: Wang Hengyue guaranteed the interests of the three countries in China, and the three countries unconditionally supported all progressive means that Wang Hengyue might use in the process of governing Shanghai.
Interest is the thing that most unites people in everything!
During this meeting, Wang Hengyue did not make an appointment with the Japanese consul. This was a punishment for Japan's many malicious sabotages in its Northern Expedition and its blatant protection.
The supreme power of the [China] country will soon fall into the hands of Wang Hengyue, and the attitude of the [Chinese] government towards Japan in the future has become the [Japanese] firm's greatest concern.
Wang Hengyue has always maintained an extremely tough attitude towards Japan. In several incidents, he dealt heavy blows to the Japanese without mercy.
The Beiyang government, which Japan wanted to protect, suffered a complete defeat in the confrontation with Wang Hengyue's military group. What is even more troublesome is that Wang Hengyue also received the full support of the United States, Britain and France.
Now [Japan] must calm down and think carefully. Beiyang, its ideal spokesperson in [China], has suffered a failure, and its interests and forces have been greatly shaken.
However, how should we improve the relationship with Wang Hengyue? [日] It is difficult for me to find a good person to deal with.
When the Japanese were worried, Wang Hengyue, who had finished meeting with the consuls of the United States, Britain and France, quickly met with his subordinates.
Shanghai's success depends entirely on these loyal, brave and wise subordinates.
"Governing a place is much more difficult than conquering it." Wang Hengyue said straight to the point: "Governing Shanghai is divided into several phases. The first phase is to gain Shanghai and stabilize the situation as much as possible. You have already accomplished this.
The second phase is to take advantage of the turmoil in Shanghai to eradicate gang organizations to the greatest extent and restore Shanghai's economic and social order, and then we can enter the third phase and fully develop Shanghai!"
His subordinates listened very carefully.
"What happened to Huang Huangrong, Yan Jiuling and the others?"
"Reporting to the President, after our many attacks, the arrogance has been greatly reduced."
Lu Yixuan said: "These two leaders have expressed their intention to seek peace many times."
"Seek peace? They don't have the qualifications!" Wang Hengyue sneered: "Continue to accelerate the attack. The powers don't have to worry. You can just concentrate on doing your own things."
After a pause, he continued: "There is another issue that must be paid attention to. Most of these gangs in Shanghai are connected with some businessmen in Shanghai. For example, Yu Qiaqing and others, they are also known as "tycoons." One is Yu Qiaqing,
Another one is Zhu Jiansan. The status of these two people in Shanghai cannot be underestimated. They have conflicts with gangs and have connections. In peacetime, they collude with each other and use each other to maintain their status. But once a crisis occurs, they will quickly
Unite and jointly deal with "foreign enemies."
Lin Tianlong said on the side: "After the Shanghai parade started, Yu Qiaqing once advised everyone to open the market and stop the strike, but he was unanimously reprimanded, and his prestige has been greatly reduced."
Wang Hengyue nodded: "Then take this opportunity to give them a severe blow.
But one thing you must pay attention to is that the blow is a blow, but it cannot hit Shanghai's factories and industries. Don't hit it too broadly. Instead, it will cause a new round of impact on Shanghai's economic order. In this way, we will lose more than we gain. The key targets are:
Qinghong Gang, as for people like Yu Qiaqing, give them some small warnings and let them stay on track and do their own thing well."
After explaining the matter, he glanced at Lu Yixuan: "Hanlin, you did a good job this time."
Lu Yixuan smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Chen Shaokuan has led the fleet and been ordered to reinforce Vladivostok. The situation there is getting more and more tense day by day. The Russian White Guards are staring at the Chinese, the Red Army is also staring at the Chinese, and the Japanese themselves are also staring at the Chinese, and they are all targeting the local people.
The Chinese are eating them like a piece of fat meat." At this point, anger flashed through Wang Hengyue's eyes, and then the president regained his composure: "So I sent Chen Shaokuan to command three ships as the second officer.
Assistance fleet, your "Hai Chi," will lead three more ships as the third assistance fleet and quickly sail to Vladivostok. We must find ways to rescue the local Chinese as much as possible, and find ways to prevent our rights and interests from being harmed.
.”
"Yes, I understand." Lu Yixuan said calmly.
"President, representatives of the Shanghai Federation of Industry and Commerce, Yu Qiaqing, Zhu Suansan and others are asking for an audience."
"Oh? Cao Cao is here!" Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "See you!"
It was the first time to meet the legendary President Wang Hengyue, Yu Qiaqing, Zhu Jiasan and others who were a little nervous.
In legends, there are so many legendary stories about this great president, including all kinds of absurd stories.
When they actually saw him, they found that the president was young and full of energy. Although he did not look as scary as the legend said, he still made them feel faintly scared.
There is no doubt that the president must have been involved in these things that happened in Shanghai during this period. It can even be said that too many things probably happened in the hands of this president.
"Sit down." Wang Hengyue said calmly.
Yu Qiaqing and Zhu Jiasan, who were accustomed to the world, sat down somewhat cautiously.
The corners of Wang Hengyue's mouth moved, and a trademark evil smile flashed across his lips: "This time the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Shanghai, it means that the Beiyang government's rule over Shanghai has ended. Now Shanghai has entered a new period, and it still needs
Thank you to everyone in the business community for your help.”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Yu Qiaqing said hurriedly: "The Northern Expeditionary Army is an army of justice, an army of benevolence and righteousness. We will give our full assistance and we will obey the President's instructions."
Wang Hengyue nodded: "Then cut off the British ties with those gang members.
Although he knew that he would talk about this sooner or later, Wang Hengyue's straightforwardness and lack of concealment still surprised people like Yu Qiaqing!
"Being with them won't do you much good." Wang Hengyue didn't care about their expressions: "These gang members have done some good things. I don't deny this, but their harm to Shanghai far outweighs the good. If
It is definitely not a good thing to rely on them to restore order in Shanghai. Shanghai will inevitably fall into chaos, and your business will be greatly affected. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes." Yu Qiaqing responded repeatedly.
Wang Hengyue smiled faintly: "Before, you needed their protection so that you could start your business in Shanghai. They also obtained a lot of benefits from you, but this is a vicious cycle. They rely on your money.
, let your power grow bigger and bigger, what about you? You become more and more dependent on them, unable to get rid of them. Whatever they want you to do, you must do it according to their wishes. The ten percent that was originally invested in business
How can we spend 70% of our energy to deal with them? How can our business get bigger and bigger like this?"
What Wang Hengyue said was very candid and spoke to the hearts of these businessmen.
If you want to do business in Shanghai, gangs are a hurdle that you can never get around. Once you offend them, everyone knows what consequences they will face.
But now that Wang Hengyue has arrived with his Northern Expeditionary Army, perhaps the good days of these gangs in Shanghai have come to an end!!
