Huang Xing thought for a while and replied: "Commander, I took over this matter, if not, I will go back and prepare now, and set off as soon as possible."

"Yes, of course there is," Yang Xingguo quickly replied.

"As we said just now, there are two necessary conditions for the development and growth of the Jiangdong Army, talent and silver. We have silver, but not much. Therefore, relying only on the little silver in our hands, even in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month, we will not be able to develop Liaodong."

"So, you have another task when you go to Hubei, and that is to get silver"

"Commander of silver, set up a foreign trade company, and sell weapons in Hankou, isn't that just silver?" Huang Xing asked rhetorically with a look of incomprehension.

Subsequently, Huang Xing seemed to think of something, and said with a sudden realization: "Well, I understand, Commander, you want me to go to Hubei to raise funds to learn Zhang Zhidong and raise donations among patriotic businessmen in Hankou."

Yang Xingguo hurriedly said: "No, no matter how poor our Liaodong Army is, it is not so poor that it is necessary to ask the director of the Political Department to raise donations."

"Besides, the reason why Zhang Zhidong was able to raise so much money was because of Zhang Zhidong's identity as the governor of the two lakes."

"If you are allowed to go, I am sure, even if you are given a month, you will not be able to raise more than 10,000 taels of silver."

"As for foreign trade companies, even if they sell weapons, it will be a trickle of water, and they will not be able to get a large amount of silver in a short period of time"

Huang Xing's face was even more puzzled, and he asked Yang Xingguo: "In addition to these two methods, I really can't think of any other way to get Commander Yinzi, you quickly tell me your method, let me also open my eyes." ”

A mysterious smile quickly flashed on Yang Xingguo's face. Resolutely replied: "It's very simple, just four words." Investment Promotion"

"What is investment attraction?" Huang Xing, who was even more incomprehensible, subconsciously asked.

"Investment, as the name suggests, is to call on businessmen to come to our Liaodong factory. As for the introduction of investment. It would be better to understand, and guide the money of those merchants outside to us to make money."

After listening to Yang Xingguo's explanation, Huang Xing's first reaction was doubt. After thinking about it carefully, he directly rejected Yang Xingguo's idea.

"Commander, you're too whimsical"

"The most important thing for businessmen is profit. We don't have anything, why did they come to us with silver to open a factory?"

"Besides, everyone knows that the two great powers of Japan and Russia are fighting in Liaodong, and they are coming to Liaodong at this time. You can't even guarantee your own safety, let alone do business."

"Unless those businessmen's heads are knocked out in the dust, they will definitely not risk their lives to do business in the poor Liaodong."

Yang Xingguo not only did not object, but also affirmed: "You are right, businessmen are all profit-oriented. ”

"If we don't give them benefits, they will never come to us for no reason. Therefore, I will not let you go empty-handed to attract investment" "My idea is that "businessmen who set up factories in Liaodong will be exempted from taxes for two years as long as the scales are regular. In addition, our Liaodong Army can also provide them with a two-year period. An interest-free loan with a ceiling of 10,000 taels of silver. As long as the scale he wants to handle passes our review, he can apply for a loan. “

"In addition, although we are poor. There is little to no commercial base. ”

"But it's the land under our feet. But there are a lot of business opportunities hidden. As long as they speak the direction, they will definitely make money when they come to Liaodong. And it still earns a lot of money. “

At this time, the puzzled expression on Huang Xing's face had turned into disbelief, and he said suspiciously at Yang Xingguo.

"A business opportunity? How come I didn't see the commander, I also worked as a businessman, and in my opinion, there is no other business opportunity in Liaodong that can make the businessman's heart move except for the land is a little more fertile. ”

Yang Xingguo analyzed: "Then I'll tell you about a few business opportunities I see."

"Soldiers, in the past, Liaodong could only be self-sufficient in food. Now it is different, because we have a large amount of land reclamation, and the land is evenly distributed to households, and the people's enthusiasm for farming is very high. At that time, this year alone, we will have hundreds of millions of grain surpluses in the five counties of central Liaoning."

"It's close to the capital with little production and high consumption, you say, is this a business opportunity?"

"Second, in the several counties we control, there are no less than 100 large and small iron mines, coal mines, and even gold and silver mines.

"Also, the Northeast is rich in fur and medicinal materials, is this considered a business opportunity" "Also, after the further expansion of our Liaodong Army, the number of uniforms, military uniforms, and meat to be purchased every year must be very large, whether this is considered meat" "Also, our arsenal will definitely expand in the future, and after the expansion, the arsenal will produce accessories for various weapons, and it will never be possible for the arsenal to produce all kinds of accessories, and even raw materials for the arsenal to produce and provide various accessories, and even raw materials This must also be a business opportunity"

"In addition, I have said so much, but I have not yet said that I have the spending power of one or two million people in Liaoning."

"As soon as the autumn harvest is over this year, the people will have surplus grain in their hands, and if there is surplus grain, there will be silver, even if a common people only consume one or two taels of silver, it is also a business opportunity of one or two million taels of silver. And this, not counting the hundreds of thousands of taels of military salaries that our Liaodong Army pays every month, counting their consumption, there will be at least four or five million taels of business opportunities every year."

"Really, why didn't I think of that?" Huang Xing was shocked for half a minute before he sighed to Yang Xingguo.

After thinking about it, he said: "Such a big business opportunity, coupled with our good policy of two-year tax exemption and two-year interest-free loans, will definitely attract many bold businessmen to develop in Liaodong."

"As long as the interests that attract them are big enough, they will definitely come," Yang Xing said firmly in Chinese.

"When the time comes, a merchant will bring a thousand taels of silver to Liaodong, and a hundred merchants will be 100,000 taels, which will definitely play a great role in our poor and white Liaozhong."

Seeing the confident expression on Yang Xingguo's face, Huang Xing also became confident.

After a short period of contemplation, he replied decisively to Yang Xingguo: "Commander, I can't do anything about this matter, I have been given so many tasks at one time, and I can't complete it even if I have three heads and six arms."

"You can pick twenty people from the deputy commander to follow you, and bring another 20,000 taels of silver for the start-up funds, 1,000 for the foreign trade company to base the rifles for sales, and when the time comes, the money from the sale of rifles will also be used for you for the time being."

"In order to ensure your safety, I am transferring a company of guards from the guard regiment to you"

"In two days, we will have a meeting with Zhang Zhidong. When the time comes, you will take the fleet of Zhang Zhidong's return voyage and go to Hubei by water. Once the main thing is done, you can come back and leave some people in Hubei. ”
