PS: The first update arrives, ask for collections, ask for recommended votes! Thank you for the book friend elf LON, ah fuck you, please be a hypocritical person, lazy control, and the reward of the dark night maple!
"Pierre, David. This is the industrial zone of Jilin. In this industrial zone, there is a medium-sized steel plant, a small chemical plant, a large cement factory, a small machinery factory, and an arsenal. Immediately adjacent to this industrial area are a number of light industrial factories, including clothing factories, food factories, hardware factories and so on. ”
Wu Haoxuan introduced Pierre DuPont and David Rockefeller to the companies in the Changchun Industrial Zone. These factories have only been put into operation since this year. Although, the scale is not large. However, this has achieved a breakthrough in the industry of Jilin from scratch.
However, Pierre Dupont and David Rockefeller did not look interested in their faces. The industrial area in front of them is too small in their eyes to be worth mentioning at all. Of course, if you consider that this is a poor and white Northeast, it is not easy to gradually build these factories in just one year.
"Wu, the scale of this industrial zone is too small. Also, according to the conclusion of my assistants, it is too poor here. Even if the DuPont family invests in building a factory here, I am afraid that there will be losses. Pierre Dupont said helplessly. Capital is profit-seeking, especially these American capitalists. If he wants to do a loss-making business, it is impossible.
"I know. However, although Jilin is poor, the whole of China is a vast market of 400 million people. Once this market is launched, you don't know how much potential it will have. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile. Relying on the markets of Jilin and Heilongjiang alone obviously cannot attract the DuPont family.
"The market in China is really big. However, those markets have basically been carved up. Pierre Dupont said. China's huge market, of course, they are hot. Otherwise, the Americans would not have come up with an open-door policy. It's just that the strength of the United States in China is too poor to compete with other powers.
"That's true. However, there will always be opportunities. Let's go back to the hotel, I have a plan, maybe you will be interested. Wu Haoxuan suspended his visit to the industrial zone. Although, this industrial area has developed well so far. However, it is not yet in the eyes of these American capitalists. If he wants to impress them, Wu Haoxuan has to continue to fool.
As for David Rockefeller, after reaching a big deal with Wu Haoxuan, it seems that he has no other purpose. So, along the way, he was simply perfunctory. The current Rockefeller family is still engaged in oil extraction, smelting and sales. For other areas, they really don't have much to cover.
In a room on the top floor of the Broad City Hotel, Wu Haoxuan, Pierre Dupont, and David Rockefeller sat down, each with a cup of fragrant coffee in front of them. It's just that everyone's mind doesn't seem to be on tasting coffee.
Wu Haoxuan was thinking about how to gain the support of the United States, while Pierre DuPont and David Rockefeller were waiting for Wu Haoxuan's plan. For Wu Haoxuan's talent in business, they are amazed. If Wu Haoxuan was not Chinese, but an American, maybe he would have started a new big family in the United States.
"You two, you should know who I am. My father was the highest military and political governor in Jilin Province. In fact, in addition to Jilin Province, we also have Heilongjiang Province. Wu Haoxuan said.
Pierre Dupont and David Rockefeller nodded, Wu Haoxuan's true identity had already been investigated by the DuPont family and the Rockefeller family. It's just that for a big family like them, China's local warlords are nothing at all.
"We have a plan that within this year, and no later than next year, we will launch a large-scale war to bring the entire Northeast under our rule. The entire northeast has a territory of more than 1.2 million square kilometers and a population of more than 20 million. If we can succeed, then we will develop into a powerful force. Wu Haoxuan continued.
Pierre Dupont and David Rockefeller were slightly moved. The territory of 1.2 million square kilometers is already equivalent to one-eighth of that of the United States. The population of 2,000 is equivalent to a quarter of that of the United States. Although it is poor and backward, it is rich in resources. If it can be cultivated, it will undoubtedly be a huge market. If the DuPont family and the Rockefeller family can invest here, it will definitely bring huge profits.
"Wu, do you want to break away from the Qing State and establish a country independently?" Pierre Dupont asked. Although the DuPont family has a lot of influence in the United States, if it can build a close relationship with a foreign country, it will undoubtedly be a great attraction for the DuPont family.
"No, we're not going to build a nation on our own. However, this does not mean that we will not enter Yanjing at the right time to gain the rule of this ancient country. Wu Haoxuan continued.
Suddenly, Pierre DuPont and David Rockefeller's eyes lit up. Although, Wu Haoxuan's words are a little too whimsical. However, if Wu Haoxuan can really succeed, doesn't it mean that the situation in China will change dramatically? And if their families can establish good relations with China's future rulers, they will inevitably bring a lot of benefits.
"Wu, this is crazy. Are you sure you'll be able to make it? In my opinion, this is almost impossible. David Rockefeller tried to calm himself down.
"David, nothing is impossible. Since last year, we have been expanding our armaments. To tell you the truth, my family's army has numbered as many as 200,000 men. In a month or two, we will be ready for war. The other two local forces currently ruling the Northeast do not add up to 100,000 people. Moreover, weapons and equipment simply cannot be compared with ours. If war breaks out, we will eliminate them in the shortest possible time and dominate the entire Northeast. In this way, our first goal can at least be accomplished. As long as a capable person gains the leadership of the entire country, it depends on the future development. Wu Haoxuan said firmly.
"Two hundred thousand troops? My God! That's much more than the U.S. Army's total strength. Pierre Dupont exclaimed.
"Wu, will your central government allow you to control the Northeast? In addition, it has always been the focus of contention between the Russians and the Japanese. Surely they will not let you rise before their eyes. David Rockefeller seemed to be more informed.
"The central government is too busy dealing with local forces in the south to have the energy to intervene in the northeast. Even if the central government intervenes, that will not be a problem at all. The central government is now able to control only a little more than 100,000 troops. As for the Russians and the Japanese, the Russians' power in the Far East, having been dealt a heavy blow in the last war, will not pose a threat to us until the Trans-Siberian Railway is built. The Japanese are also licking their wounds. Even if they want to interfere with us, they will not put too many troops into it, and I am confident that these Japanese will be defeated. In this way, there will be no one to stop us from ruling the Northeast anymore. For the future battle, Wu Haoxuan is full of confidence.
"Wu, do you still want to confront Japan? Wouldn't that be crazy. With Japan's national strength, it is much stronger than yours. David Rockefeller frowned, Wu Haoxuan's plan was indeed ambitious. But now it looks like an egg hitting a stone!
"David, the Japanese government will not fight us with all its might, this is our chance. In addition, if we simply compare the armies of the two sides, we will not be much worse than the Japanese. Japan, which is already heavily indebted, will not be able to mobilize all its strength to fight against us in the last war. Wu Haoxuan explained.
Pierre DuPont and David Rockefeller both nodded, and Wu Haoxuan was right, Japan was indeed in trouble.
"So, Wu, what do you want us to do?" Pierre Dupont asked.
"I hope that the United States will fully support us. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan became a new great power. Japan's rise is undoubtedly a huge threat to US interests in the Pacific region. If the United States can support us, then we will be a powerful force to contain Japan. This will be of great benefit to the United States. In addition, if we become the center one day, we will undoubtedly be able to bring more benefits to the United States. Wu Haoxuan said.
He now hopes to get more support from the United States, so that China in the Northeast and even in the future can develop better and faster. U.S. money, as well as equipment and technology, are urgently needed by China.
Pierre Dupont hesitated for a moment, then said, "Wu, your plan is indeed very tempting. However, this is just your personal plan. I'll report back to the family. However, it will be difficult to gain support from the United States. ”
"Indeed, Wu, unless your army is really able to unify the northeast and resist the Japanese attack. In this case, you are qualified to cooperate with the United States. David Rockefeller also said.
Wu Haoxuan nodded, although this was a bit hurtful. However, this is the truth. The Wu family, which only occupies Jilin and Heilongjiang, is not qualified to cooperate with the United States at all. But if you can unify the Northeast and resist the attack of the Japanese Army, it will be completely different.
