Meihua Commodity Company, Situ Nan has a lot of information about the Chinese capital in South China and Nanyang. Very
What makes him find it interesting is that many rich people are still rich people in their bones. Some people who are more daring and wild find out that the Australian Development Company presided over by Huang Zhonghan has a large piece of land for sale, Ma bought a large piece of land in Western Australia, and then sent relatives to Australia to run the farm.
Situ Nan seems to have forgotten that in fact, he himself has a strong landlord color. If you rank the landlords in the world, in addition to the Queen of England and the bandit Zhang in the Northeast, Situ Nan himself can at least be among the best.
If the value of those lands is calculated, then Situ Nan is richer than the queen, because whether it is the land of Western Australia or the desert of the Middle East, there are amazing treasures buried under these lands under Situ Nan's name!
To get back to the point, Situ Nan has the intention of imitating Japan's Mitsui Consortium and leading a group of Chinese capital to become strong through Guò Meihua Properties.
In fact, through the investigation of the Japanese economy by the William Foundation, Situ Nan found that Mitsui & Co. in Japan had already achieved remarkable results when the United States and China were in their infancy.
Under the leadership of Mitsui & Co., on the one hand, the related enterprises of the Mitsui Foundation of Japan invested heavily in mines, railways, and other industries in Northeast China and the sea, controlled part of the trade with China, and plundered a large amount of China's resources back to the mainland.
In Japan, Mitsui & Co. is organizing a number of related companies to invest in heavy industries such as steel, shipbuilding, and chemicals, and realize Japan's industrialization.
In addition to Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo and other Japanese conglomerates, they are also doing something worse. In short, the rise of Japan's industry is a foregone conclusion, and in the face of the Japanese chaebol like a tiger and a wolf, if the United States and China cannot prepare early, they will still have to suffer in the future.
Therefore, Situ Nan feels that in fact, it is necessary for Meihua to learn from the practices of Mitsui, Mitsubishi and other Japanese chaebols in many aspects.
Due to various restrictions, the targets faced by Meihua in the near future are mainly capitalists from Guangdong and Fujian provinces, and the capital in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is beyond their strength.
The capitalists in Jiangsu and Zhejiang prefer to invest in the sea, and they do not have much enthusiasm for Nanyang, which they see as a barbarian land.
The return on their investment in Haihai is also good, after all, Hai is growing much faster than Guangdong. At least in the financial industry, the development of the sea-centered Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium is better than that of the South China consortium.
From time to time, Situ Nan received information from Hai that the banking industry in Hai had sprung up everywhere, and new banks were opening almost every month.
If you add up the number of money banks in the sea, the number of various financial institutions added up is not much better than that of Wall Street. Very
Of course, this is a joke, and it will be true a hundred years later.
As the countdown to his stay in Guangzhou began, Situ Nan paid more and more attention to the affairs of Qihai. As for Meihua Properties, Situ Nan let it go after setting the development blueprint.
History sometimes leaves no words on paper, but later those who study the history of the United States and China were surprised to find that during the Nanyang Chinese Revolution in the early twenties of the twentieth century, many capitalists in the south invested heavily in industry and commerce in South China on the one hand, and at the same time, a large amount of their capital was also tacitly moving south.
For a time, it became the most economically active region in China. Although it was not famous at that time, its influence later far exceeded that of the consortiums in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, North China and other places.
On the other hand, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums at the same time were also gradually prospering, but unfortunately in the end they made wedding dresses for the later four major families. The North China Consortium, on the other hand, is happily enjoying the last wonderful time under the rule of the Beiyang government.
Well, history has quietly branched out here, is it a coincidence or a premeditated one?
Later research experts did not know, and only remembered the four words of Meihua products.
The vice president of Meihua is Situ Meiden, and this identity gives him a layer of businessman
Although he is not good at running specific affairs, as a business representative of Meihua Properties, he has traveled more and more widely, and his influence has also increased, and he has gradually washed away the color of his general scoop.
Well, for a long time, the Zhi Gong Party engaged in revolutionary activities in the guise of businessmen.
In addition to the Chinese capitalists, some talents who could be used by the Zhi Gong Party also fell into the eyes of Situ Meiden.
On this day, Situ Meiden walked into the home of Wu Tingfang, the foreign minister of the Guangzhou Military Government, and Situ Nan followed.
The Guangzhou military government was a tool for Sun Wen and the southwestern warlords to bargain with the Beiyang government, and it was actually not recognized by foreign countries, and its position was somewhat embarrassing.
After Sun Wen was ostracized and left Guangzhou, Wu Tingfang stayed, but he did not hold much power. When Situ Nan came to the Wu family, the courtyard was a little deserted.
Wu Tingfang was a little surprised by Situ Meiden's visit, "Brother Situ, what kind of wind brought you here today?" I heard that you've been busy with business lately? ”
Wu Tingfang said with a smile. He is one round older than Situ Meiden, and it is not at all important to call Situ Meiden a little brother.
"Well, I'm a businessman, so I'll run errands. Brother Wu, I haven't seen you for so many years, and your body is still so tough! Stu Meiden greeted respectfully.
In the hearts of overseas Chinese, the old man Wu Tingfang has a higher prestige than Sun Wen. This 70-year-old man was a famous jurist and diplomat in the late Qing Dynasty, who participated in the Sino-French negotiations and the Shimonoseki negotiations as Li Hongzhang's aides, and witnessed the tragic years of the late Qing Dynasty when a weak country had no diplomacy.
Wu Tingfang later served as minister to the United States, Spain, Peru and other countries, and has always defended national interests and protected overseas Chinese. The most talked-about thing is that he was the first and only diplomat in the Qing Dynasty who dared to say that he wanted to use gunboats to talk to foreign countries!
Therefore, Situ Nan always wanted to see Wu Tingfang, and at this time he was following Situ Meiden to look at Wu Tingfang behind his back.
The years have left traces on the 74-year-old man, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face, which is pity.
However, the old man wore a melon skin hat, a black silk horse coat, and a little smile on his face, which made Situ Nan find it interesting.
Originally, he hated this kind of Manchu dress, but at this time, he felt that Wu Tingfang was a little cute.
"This little brother is a little eye-catching, huh? Haven't asked for advice yet? Wu Tingfang said. Seeing that Situ Nan looked a little distinctive, he asked.
Situ Nan took a step forward and said respectfully: "My name is Situ Nan, and it is really an honor to meet Mr. Wu with my uncle today!" A little care, not respect! ”
Situ Nan handed over the first box that had been prepared.
Wu Tingfang opened it and saw that it was a copy, the cover was slightly yellowed, and it was some years. This is a copy of the Napoleonic Civil Code that Situ Nan bought from the French antique market. Although it is not the original, it is also extremely collectible.
Wu Tingfang picked it up and flipped through it, put it down with some love, and sighed: "It's too precious, the old man can't stand it!" ”
said that he wanted to return it to Situ Nan.
Situ Nan naturally refused. "Wu Lao, I know that you are an expert in law, I got this by accident from Paris, France, for me, it is of no use, you just accept it! It is also a little bit of the heart of the younger generation. ”
"Yes! Brother Wu, you just accept it! This little thing is nothing to Anan, this kid. If you don't want to go, just give him a bottle or jar. He liked it better. ”
Situ Meiden laughed.
"Good!" Wu Tingfang had no choice but to accept it, and his impression of Situ Nan was a little better.
He secretly looked at Situ Nan, some of Situ Nan's mixed-race characteristics were nothing in Wu Tingfang's opinion, but Situ Nan's unique temperament impressed Wu Tingfang deeply.
This young man is not easy! Situ Meiden seems to be faintly centered on Situ Nan, but it is not like half of the uncle-nephew relationship they say.
Wu Tingfang said in his heart. He has met many people in his life, including dignitaries from various countries, Li Hongzhang, Cixi, Yuan Shikai, Sun Wen, etc., and he has naturally rich experience and his own set of skills to see people. For example, he felt that Sun Wen had a future, so he always followed Sun Wen.
Of course, the follow-up of a big man like Wu Tingfang is naturally not the kind of follow-up of a junior brother, but more like-minded.
However, according to Situ Nan's conjecture, it is not so much that Wu Tingfang followed Sun Wen, but that this barrister and jurist followed the ideals of democracy and freedom propagated by the Kuomintang.
The eyes are clear and calm, confident and shrewd. It looks like a leisurely stroll, and there is splendor! Wu Tingfang secretly commented on Situ Nan in his heart.
Where did such a talent suddenly come from? How come you've never heard of it? There is also this Situ Meiden, I haven't seen him for many years, and now he is no longer like the previous gangsters, but a bit of a big man's demeanor!
These uncles and nephews are really not simple! Wu Tingfang was surprised in his heart, and under the cover of that kind smile, his mind turned around a few times.
At the same time, Situ Nan also had his own calculations in his heart. He came today for two purposes, one is to be curious about historical figures, and the other is to be Wu Tingfang's son Wu Chaoshu.
"I don't know, what is Situ Laozi talking about?" Wu Tingfang asked directly.
"No big deal! But there are some things I want to ask you, Brother Wu. Situ Meiden laughed.
"Oh?" Wu Tingfang's white eyebrows raised, and his previously vague eyes suddenly lit up, sweeping over Uncle Situ's nephew, waiting for the following.
"Brother Wu, in fact, we also want to revolutionize." Stuart said.
"Huh? Be cautious in this matter, as well as your relationship with Mr. Sun" Wu Tingfang hesitated, looking at Situ Meiden with some concern.
His first reaction was, could it be that those people in An Liangtang were not convinced, seeing that the Kuomintang was now separated and wanted to return to China to seize the leadership? Wu Tingfang is not optimistic about Situ Meiden at this point.
He vaguely knew that in recent years, it seems that the situation of overseas Chinese has improved, and there have been a lot more wealthy businessmen in the Nanyang area.
Didn't this Situ Meiden make money and wanted to follow the example of the revolutionaries to buy guns and pull people back to make a revolution?
Thinking of this, Wu Tingfang frowned, and looked at Situ Meiden with some vigilance.
