"What's going on with Nanhua?" Situ Nan asked. Robles had just come from South China.

"The Java Ring Road is working well and is paying dividends. In Sumatra, thanks to you, the railway runs from south to north.

It is really hard to believe that in just a few years of Dutch colonial rule, Nanhua actually perfected the railway network, and gradually established an industrial system through projects such as New Tangshan Iron and Steel, Meihua Shipbuilding, and Meihua Chemical, and Wall Street capital, Western advanced technology, and diligent Chinese workers have turned Nanhua into a large-scale industrial country, which has to be said to be a miracle. ”

Robles glanced at Situ Nan with a sigh, this guy has a magical power, and now he wants to repeat the South China model in his home country.

More importantly, this brought huge financial benefits to the Robles & Co. and William Consortium.

"Well, the Dutch left some lines for Nanhua, and they also have their credit. However, the most important thing is that we are willing to invest. "Situ Nandao.

Robles nodded, the William Consortium's funds are mainly tilted towards Asia, and they do not value Europe as much as other consortiums, especially the economic penetration of Germany is far less than that of Morgan and other consortiums, in the final analysis, it is because of the close relationship between the William Consortium and the South China government.

"What else? Has the oil refining project in Palembang been completed? Situ Nan asked again.

"The pipeline connecting the oil wells from the Dury oil field to the port was completed, and the crude oil was transported to South China factories such as Palembang and New Tangshan by guò tanker, and then refined and exported to Japan, China and Europe.

It is said that the oil trade between South China and Japan reached 1ooo US dollars last year, and now Sumatra's oil production has passed through the Balikpapan oil field in East Borneo State!

Now most of the Asian crude oil is produced in South China, except for the damned Soviets. They sold the products from the Baku oil fields to Asia. Steal a lot of our market. ”

Robles grumbled.

The Baku oil field is, after all, a world-class oil field. The influence was huge, and Situ Nan and the Soviets once cooperated well, providing them with funds and technology to obtain part of the production of the Baku oil fields and sell Baku oil to Europe.

However, while the Soviet economy recovered, attitudes towards Western oil companies began to change.

In order to obtain funds for construction, the Soviets exported oil to Europe in large quantities. At the same time, it also extended its hand to Asia, dumping gasoline and kerosene into Asia, mainly China, to break South China's monopoly on the Asian oil market, causing gasoline prices to fall, causing dissatisfaction among the British and American oil companies.

Robles saw the potential of China's oil market, and naturally did not like the Soviets as a spoiler.

"Hehe, the Soviets are so poor that even the royal jewels have been auctioned in Europe, and it is no big deal to go to Asia to sell oil and make some money. They can't make big waves. ”

Situ Nan smiled generously. Xindao: The reduction of oil prices is beneficial to South China and China's automobile industry exhibitions, which is not necessarily a bad thing. This. Robles would not have been unaware, probably not very pleasing to the eyes of the Soviets.

However, the desire for the defense industry, at any cost, South China, China, and even Japan were not necessarily comparable to the Soviets.

Speaking of which, Situ Nan coveted the resources of the Soviet Union, from the Tsar to the Soviet, from the Baku oil field to the Tyumen oil field, Russia has been the world's major exporter of energy resources for a hundred years, inexhaustible, and is truly rich in land and resources! Especially in terms of oil reserves, Situ Nan had a natural jealousy of the Soviet Union.

Situ Nan paused the conversation with Robles, and saw He Yongyuan coming in with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter? Look at your smile. Situ Nan asked.

"Hehe, a good thing."

He Yongyuan smiled and nodded to Robles, and then told Situ Nan that the "walk-behind" tractor project he invested in in Nanhua was successful, and Wang Wudou, the magical female engineer, developed a prototype of the walk-behind tractor and successfully passed the guò test. Now is the time for Situ Nan to fulfill his promise and put it into production.

"Is that her? If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered. ”

Thinking about Wang Wudou's unique style of tractor queen, Zhang Bei'an felt funny.

Speaking of tractors, the bulldog tractor invested by Cummins Power in Nanhua has been put into production, which is of high quality and low price, with outstanding performance, and is widely used in Chinese farms in Nanhua.

The fly in the ointment is that no matter how cheap American and European tractors are, they are still a bit expensive for poor Asian people, and more cheap walk-behind tractors just meet the needs of the market.

"Okay. Jianyi Nanhua Grain Bank purchased a batch of try, and they should not oppose this kind of cheap, easy-to-operate tractor. ”

Zhang Bei'an nodded happily and approved Wang Wudou to build walk-behind tractor factories in New Tangshan, South China, and Wuhan, China.

"By the way, did the samples arrive?" Situ Nan asked.

"On the way. They made an extra one for you. He Yongyuan replied.

Robles sat on the sidelines, watching Situ Nan and He Yongyuan discuss a tractor in an interesting way, and couldn't help but be a little funny. Well, it's rare to see a billionaire interested in a crude tractor.

Who can understand Situ Nan's loneliness? The world's most fashionable products are difficult for Situ Nan to feel new in his eyes.

Situ Nan saw that Robles was a little impatient, and after instructing He Yongyuan to say a few words, he and Robles went to the East Lake Lakeside Course to play golf, taste delicious food, and fulfill the friendship of landlords.

……

The U.S. delegation consisted of consultants from various intellectual backgrounds to inspect the political, military, economic, and social aspects of the Wuhan government.

The RAND Corporation undertook this task, and the Wuhan government provided a lot of convenience and actively cooperated with the RAND Corporation.

According to the RAND Corporation's survey, the South China Economic Exhibition is gaining momentum and is one of the investment areas for U.S. companies.

Not only in terms of the economy, but also in terms of exchanges between the two countries, the conclusion is also the same.

The results of the inspection were used as a reference for Robles' investment, and they also appeared on the table in the White House conference room, allowing the White House to see the potential of the Wuhan government, the need to expand investment, increase aid to China, prevent China from being reddened, balance Japan, and maintain the balance of the Western Pacific.

Neither the railroad fundraising plan nor the plan to join the dollar group can be achieved overnight.

There will be many more negotiations ahead. At least there were some voices in the delegation brought by Robles who put forward harsh conditions for the Wuhan government. The two sides are not completely unanimous.

But. This did not affect the likes of Situ Nan and Robles from lounging by the lake. The beautiful East Lake, no pollution, pleasant scenery, swinging, Situ Nan pointing the country, but also comfortable.

"Man, diplomatic relations between the U.S. government and the Beijing government have not been completely severed, which creates a procedural hurdle for the dollar plan. Why didn't the Wuhan government simply ......"

During this time, Robles asked Situ Nan. He knew that Situ Nan had influence on the Wuhan government.

"There are no minor problems in the procedure, the White House and Wall Street will not lose sight of the potential of Wuhan, why should they favor the Beiyang government, which is close to the Japanese?"

Situ Nan sneered, explaining that it was not difficult to take down Beijing, but the Wuhan government did not want to carry too heavy a burden.

It is good to continue the Northern Expedition and overthrow the Beiyang government in one fell swoop, provided that foreign forces do not interfere with the reunification of China, but this is unlikely.

The Wuhan government does not want to destroy the rare exhibition opportunity. Let's let Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang and other Beiyang remnants live for a few more years, wars have always served the economy and politics. And for the sake of personal hegemony, the country will be in full holes, and it will not end well after all.

From the very beginning, Situ Nan warned Song Ziwen, Lin Yimin and others that this was an arduous and long process.

Since we cannot choose a stormy revolution, we can only take precautions, step by step, be patient and cautious, and make some decisions, such as joining the dollar bloc, making maximum use of US capital and technology, cultivating the domestic market, and building the country's industry quickly, and the cost of this is quite high.

Compared with a few guns, a few taels of opium, and a group of militia bandits to grab money and mothers to grab the turf of domestic warlords, the hard work of the Zhi Gong Party government is not known how many times higher.

Situ Nan could not explain this feeling to Robles, but fortunately, from Nanhua to Guangdong, and then to Wuhan, this ideal was a great success, and was accepted by Song Ziwen, Li Zongren and other civilian and military generals, and the Wuhan government was largely under Situ Nan's control.

Looking at Situ Nan's determined eyes, Robles realized that this question was a bit redundant, and instead smiled faintly and shrugged,

Xindao: I'm just an American businessman, and Situ Nan's so-called national sentiment has nothing to do with me, but it brings a lot of benefits to Robles, and the company's second headquarters in Asia will be opened in Shanghai, and China, a thriving financial bond market in the Far East, is indeed worth Robles's risk.

"By the way, what did Andrew say?" Situ Nan asked again.

"He? What if you weren't busy talking to Republicans about dealing with Democrats in Congress so that you could get a new tax cut? ”

Speaking of tax cuts, Robles laughed, he didn't like the U.S. government to rob him of his dollars.

"I also don't like the U.S. government to take money out of its pockets, and it's better to reduce the personal tax to 2 percent and cut off those rice buckets that eat dry rice." Situ Nan said with a smile.

Small government and big society, taxpayers do not raise waste, reduce the burden on society, there is no doubt that the US government in the twenties did a very good job, there were not so many inexplicable so-called officials.

Back in the United States, will Situ Nan still be with Andrew? Mellon's discussion of the Wuhan government's entry into the dollar bloc is not difficult to convince the shrewd and stuffy donkey of the Mellon family, after all, the benefits of this matter to both parties are obvious.

The West's attitude toward China is no different from that of history, and they pursue interests.

When Japan became strong and began to be aggressive, threatening their interests, they also favored China in a certain way.

Unfortunately, the Chinese have not seized the opportunity, and for most of the twentieth century, social turmoil made it impossible to talk about nation-building, and now Situ Nan will not miss this opportunity again.

Beijing. Zhang Xueliang walked into Zhang Zuolin's study, and there were only father and son in the room. Zhang Xueliang saw that Zhang Zuolin's expression was not very good, and he called out in a low voice: "Handsome." ”

"Sixth son, there is news from Wuhan, Song Ziwen and they are making a fuss about joining some dollar group and mixing with the United States, do they want to borrow money from the Americans to go north?"

Zhang Zuolin asked with a frown.

"This shouldn't be, my friends in the south said that they want to do business with the Americans, to put it bluntly, just to hug the Americans' thighs, borrow the Americans' money to build railways and factories. According to their approach, within three or five years, they would not want to go north. ”

Zhang Xueliang said. (To be continued......)
