The gunfire on the battlefield in Xinjiang has stopped for more than a month, and this is not a trend for China and Russia to negotiate, but a prelude to the imminent start of a decisive major war on both sides.

So far, the total cost of the war in Xinjiang has far exceeded the total military expenditure of the two battlefields in Mongolia and Northeast China!

The people and public opinion in China are also accustomed to the year-long war in Xinjiang, and their eyes have long been diverted from it. In the past six months, there has been too much news in China to grab the headlines, whether it is the preparation for the establishment of a state-level advisory bureau, the news of the establishment of navies in Korea, southwest Japan, and Vietnam, or the rumors that Chinese businessmen have broken mountains and made a fortune in Luzon, Java, Sumatra, and other places, and the attraction to the people and capital is far greater than that of Xinjiang.

In the oil fields of Java and Sumatra, after a year's efforts by China's Nanyang Oil Company, oil wells have been discovered continuously. After the crude oil produced was condensed by the Lanfang refinery, a large number of kerosene, paraffin, asphalt and other materials were transported back to China.

Domestic kerosene prices have plummeted, and Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places have begun to plan to build asphalt roads.

However, for ordinary businessmen, the investment in oil development is too great and takes too long, and China's Nanyang Oil Company has developed oil wells and oil fields in more than a year, which is based on top-secret information from the Military Intelligence Agency, and it is several large oil fields in Indonesia that Liu Siam has met with.

For ordinary people and capital in the Chinese private sector, it is more attractive to open mountains and mines.

The copper mines in the Philippines, Batavia and other places should not make too much money. It's for the common people to go to a mine owned by the Chinese to be a supervisor or something. No matter how bad it is to be a foreman, it is a better livelihood than being a farmer.

For example, Liu Xian's old acquaintance back then - Wang Kunyang.

As a Hanzhong person. Even if he had nothing to do with Liu Xian and other upper echelons of the Qin army, when Liu Xian pulled the group training. Wang Kunyang didn't even look at Liu Xian. But how many people are there in the ancestral home of the entire Qin army? How many of them are hooked with Wang Kunyang?

When the Qin army was weak, Wang Kunyang didn't look at it, and when the Qin army grew stronger, when Liu Xian became a general soldier and became a famous general, he was still the pride of the entire Hanzhong at that time. That was Wang Kunyang's own initiative to have a relationship with the Qin army, and he couldn't climb to the top of the group of bigwigs, but he also made friends with many middle- and low-level Qin army officers.

Now that the times are changing, the middle and low-level officers of the past have now become senior members. So. Since ancient times, the parents and officials of the emperor township have not done well, and they are not better than Shuntianfu Yin.

It is also because of this relationship that after the siege of Hanzhong was lifted, the industrial and commercial circles in Hanzhong developed rapidly. And these people are just like the original Jin merchants and Hui merchants, their business is developing in the direction of the southeast sea, and the wealthy people in Hanzhong Mansion are as dense as hemp, but the economic status of Hanzhong has continued to decline in the past two years.

Wang Kunyang is one of the representatives. When he was over forty years old, he personally crossed the ocean to the South Seas and split mountains to open mines.

Far to the south. Thousands of miles away on Cebu Island in the Philippines, although the weather is sunny and the weather is hot and sweaty in a single coat, Wang Kunyang's heart is cold.

"What the hell did I faint about? Actually listened to the words of Wang Yuzi and ran so far away to suffer this great sin? ”

In a hostel in the town of Toledo. Wang Kunyang's whole person is going to be bad. His investment in the mine has exceeded 100,000 Yingyang, but what about the output? When will the poor copper ore with little copper content come to an end?

Man is a blind animal. When the 'eyes' are blinded by the light of money. The whole person will not think about the possibility of failure. Wang Kunyang was still on the ship, so he placed an order for a large number of machinery. That's it. He was also very rash when he chose the mining area, but after going to the mining area for a few days, he took a few pieces of copper ore to test the copper content, and then threw out 50,000 pieces of Yingyang and bought the mine in his hand now.

Sincerity is the best interpretation of the word 'blindness'.

The town of Toledo has one of the highest concentrations of Chinese in the Philippines, with a total population of more than 3,000 people, of whom one-third are from China alone. There are fifteen mining areas around the town, two-thirds of which are dominated by Chinese. There are 26 mining companies, and if you count the foreigners and indigenous mining companies, the total number will exceed 50. It wasn't prosperity in the ordinary sense of the word, as long as the mining companies that had a foothold in Toledo were a big money-sucking weapon.

Wang Kunyang only saw this, but he didn't know how many bankrupt mining companies had fallen under the feet of these 26 Chinese companies. They are also Chinese capital!

Opening a mine, especially a copper mine that is in short supply in the country, is definitely a good business as long as you find the right mineral deposits. But if you find the wrong place, then stop as soon as possible, otherwise no amount of silver will be able to fill this bottomless pit.

The fruit wine in the wine glass was like tears that he was about to fall, and at this moment, Wang Kunyang felt that he had fallen to the lowest point in his life.

100,000 Yingyang can't still take the life of the Wang family, but after losing such a big face, he wants to go back to China in a gloomy way, how can he still hold his head up in two or three years?

Now his inner feeling is even worse than the pain and regret of watching Liu Xian go straight up, but he was not blessed to go on a journey.

There are no quiet and elegant teahouses in Toledo Town, and there are no fragrant restaurants, although the hotel where Wang Kunyang lives is a high-class hotel in the town, there are also more foreigners with bare chests and arms, and black-haired, brown-skinned, black-haired and black-skinned natives. One by one, they were noisy and noisy.

Cebu Island is a place where the Spaniards are very careful to develop and develop, but the Spaniards have no intention of mining in the Philippines, and the Spaniards, who originally had the silver of the Viceroyalty of Mexico, may not have bothered to mine copper. If it weren't for the skyrocketing demand for copper in China in recent years, there would be no white or indigenous copper mine owners in Toledo.

The status of Chinese and Chinese is now quite high in the Philippines and in the whole of Nanyang. Because neither Spain nor the Netherlands could afford to provoke China, China's South Sea Fleet would go around Borneo from time to time, and the expedition ships belonging to the South Sea Fleet would drill throughout the South Sea all day long, and even the British in Australia saw the Chinese.

In just a few years, the status of the Chinese in Nanyang is no less than that of the Spaniards and the Dutch, and they have completely occupied the head of the indigenous monkeys. Even the Chinese and the Chinese themselves from the mainland do not feel inferior to the Spaniards and the Dutch now. In addition to maintaining a certain amount of respect and concession in the face of the British, the Spaniards and the Dutch, are they as good as the French? That's not fear at all.

One of the most obvious expressions of this is that in the past two years, whether it is Manila or Batavia, or Surabaya, Palembang, Semarang and other places, there has been an endless stream of Chinese who have quit Catholicism and Christianity. Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, and the Mazu temple, which is the most trusted by residents along the southeast coast, are emerging in an endless stream all over Nanyang!

Behind this phenomenon of 'betrayal' and independence of faith stand the big families and wealthy among the Chinese, who are the undisputed upper class of the Nanyang Chinese. In Nanyang, there is no doubt that such a scene will only appear after the status of the Chinese has really increased greatly. Otherwise, the Nanyang Chinese, especially the upper-class Chinese clans and wealthy people, a considerable part of them are eager to kneel and lick God, religion, and God.

It is a culturally conscious submissiveness, assimilation, and resistance. The Nanyang Chinese were scared by the Spaniards and Dutch sheep shearing, and they were afraid from the bottom of their bones. They sought to show the best recognition of the Spaniards and the Dutch, in order to protect the lives of their families and to protect their interests.

Nanyang Chinese, who no longer have guns in their hands, live like this. Many people believe in God, not because they truly believe in Christ from the bottom of their hearts, but because they are in disguise. Of course, many people are really assimilated when they pretend to be. There are also dogs who are willing to fall!

One of the major tasks of the Nanyang Division over the years is to eliminate these dogs who do not recognize their ancestors as quietly as possible economically and physically. And the task is done quite well.

Because of this, when Huaxia Bank issued the first batch of treasury bonds, the amount subscribed by the entire Nanyang Chinese was even higher than the amount of the two broads added together. In addition, in recent years, there have been modern talents who have returned to China from Nanyang every year, and a large number of Nanyang young people have reported to many naval and army academies in China, among which the number of people who belong to the navy is more than those who go to army military academies.

Of course, there are many foreigners in the lobby who are watching Wang Kunyang. Among them, there are still a few who are pointing fingers at Wang Kunyang, but no one dares to laugh and find fault openly.

There are 3,000 Chinese in Toledo, almost all of whom have guns. The mine owners who came to the Philippines from China not only had guns, but most of them were equipped with repeating guns, plus 60 mortars in their hands, which were better than the Spanish colonial troops stationed on Cebu Island, except that they did not have real cannons.

The police station set up by the Spaniards in the town of Toledo is a decoration. Although the Spaniards had more than two warships moored at the port of Cebu City all year round.

Therefore, Master Wang Kunyang Wang is the kind of person who the foreigners here can't afford to provoke, so he is sad in the lobby, but no foreigner who is not long-sighted comes to trouble him.

Wang Kunyang didn't feel anything about this. Even if you know it, you don't think it's a big face. Before coming to Nanyang, he Wang Kunyang was one of the five executive deacons of the Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, and when he went to Guangzhou and Shanghai, he was also physically and decent.

The status of a person is not limited to money, but also political status. The Hanzhong Chamber of Commerce, which has a close relationship with the Qin consortium, is very political.

It is also because of this 'status' that Wang Kunyang is not good now.

The funds for this mining were wasted, and the position of the Chamber of Commerce was changed two years later, which is equivalent to saying that there is nothing to do with him. In this way, there will be two terms of six years, and how much will he Wang Kunyang's 'credibility' be left in five years?

This mining is simply related to Wang Kunyang's future! It's no wonder that he's all right now! (To be continued......)
