It was at this time that wars broke out in Europe and many Jews were persecuted by governments...... Despite the wars in Europe, the persecution of the Jews did not stop. After many Jewish merchants came to Shanghai, the price of land in Shanghai soared. These Jews also went to Zhang Hongyang's land to buy real estate, and since foreigners came here to buy it, it made Shanghai's wealthy people even more sure that this place was about to be divided into a new concession. Zhang Hongyang took the opportunity to sell the land at a high price, and invested the money he earned in stocks, and he invested in military supplies and materials. Especially chemical materials, he buys more. Although the stock price is already high, he still insists on investing. Some Jewish businessmen also laughed at him for being stupid.

He Cheng thought that at the end of 1915, countries in Europe actually began to use poison gas bombs, and chemical materials rose sharply, and Zhang Hongyang made a lot of money. Many businessmen saw that this Cantonese surnamed Zhang was so profitable, and they came to learn from it, but Zhang Hongyang did not have a private collection, so they analyzed how fierce the war in Europe was, how much money was made in materials and munitions, and so on. He also said that he did not see that the whole country is boycotting Japanese products now, but the Japanese are getting richer and richer, and that is because the Japanese have bought things in Europe, and without the Chinese market, the Japanese have opened up a larger market.

The businessmen listened to Zhang Hongyang's reasoning, and learned that his backstage was the American and Shangwu general Wang Maoru, the former was a world power, and the latter was a big warlord who was recently known as the Southern Cai Yi and Northern Shangwu, no wonder this Zhang Hongyang was so capable. And after Huang Jinrong knew. Only then did I ask Zhang Hongyang to talk about the past. Zhang Hongyang didn't take it seriously, and worshiped a junior brother of Huang Jinrong as a teacher, and also joined the Green Gang. Since it is a member of the Green Gang, it will be easy to do, and some disciples of the Green Gang originally planned to knock on the bamboo pole, but they will be exempted from it from now on. There are really people who are not afraid of death, and they were killed by the guards around him, and those people were very fierce, and they were chased all the way to people's homes. Cut everyone down and root it out. Zhang Hongyang hurriedly went to the Qinggang General Altar to explain that these bodyguards were specially sent by General Shangwu to protect them for fear of being victimized.

The people of the Green Gang were taken aback. is still dying, there are those who are not afraid of death and go to blackmail and ambush, and they are chased and killed, and they run to Huang Jinrong to intercede, for the sake of Huang Jinrong's face, Zhang Hongyang asked the guards to stop, which calmed down a chaos. Of course, Zhang Hongyang came to seek wealth and grab the dock, and those guards were also sent to protect his safety, not to show off for him. Zhang Hongyang naturally knows the severity. He also joined forces with many businessmen to promote the stock market, so that the stock market rose sharply, and then sold it, back and forth, but made a lot of money.

It may have been too much money, but it attracted the revolutionaries, especially those who circulated rumors that Wang Mao wanted to lead his troops south, which made the people of the Kuomintang even more excited. Zhang Hongyang hurriedly lowered his profile, he felt it sensitively. Something big is going to happen. Sure enough, after Yuan Shikai's life, the situation in Shanghai changed abruptly, the city changed the king's flag, and more people ran to the concession to seek seclusion. Zhang Hongyang bought a large piece of land close to the lease early. The construction of high walls turned the land near the lease into a city within a city. It made him a lot of money again.

Zhang Hongyang learned that Wang Maoru had become an overseer, so he hurriedly made one last move, waiting for $2.5 million to run back to the base camp. There are many legends of this God of Wealth in the local area, which has made this overseas Chinese who like to take risks and invest and are particularly sensitive to finance make a reputation. Zhang Hongyang got a nickname, the little God of Wealth, which refers to the Liang God of Wealth of the Beiyang government.

Wang Maoru asked how much money he made in the last one, Zhang Hongyang said that he earned 250,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to one million in the ocean, Wang Maoru was surprised: "Why are there so many?" Or buy and sell stocks? ”

Zhang Hongyang said: "No, it is a partnership with my uncle Huang Jinrong to sell tobacco and buy big tobacco to Nanyang, which makes more money." Wang Maoru didn't pretend to say that tobacco is harmful to the country, the Chinese people have now developed the habit of smoking a lot, if you don't make this money, someone will naturally make it. Pretending to be high certainly won applause, but what is needed at this time is not applause, but interests. Just like Cai Yi, he went to work in the central government, although he gained a good reputation, but he was grasped by Yuan Shikai to death, so he had to escape while he was sick. It was because of the delay in treatment that Cai Ye fell into the root of the disease and died young.

"The tobacco business is so profitable." Wang Maoru couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said with a smile, "Since you worship Huang Jinrong's disciple, you can naturally do a good job in the tobacco business, so I also have some tobacco fields in Hulunbuir and planted some big tobacco, and you are also responsible for getting rid of it." ”

Zhang Hongyang was slightly surprised, it turned out that the handsome man also planted a big tobacco, no wonder he mentioned that the handsome man who sold tobacco did not object, it turned out that the owner was here, so he asked: "Dashuai, how much have we planted?" How much can the harvest be? ”

Wang Maoru said: "I don't know much about growing big cigarettes, these are all in charge of Puna, the director of the anti-smoking bureau, and you are only responsible for selling goods." ”

"Yes." Zhang Hongyang pouted and said, "Xiushuai doesn't tell the truth, how can I sell it?" If Xiushuai only planted 100 acres, there would be a way to sell 100 acres, a 1,000 mu to sell 1,000 acres, and 10,000 acres to have 10,000 acres. ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Okay, good, you have sharp teeth, you deserve to be a Cantonese Yankee." This year is our first year, and we have reclaimed almost 10,000 acres for the time being. ”

Zhang Hongyang opened his mouth wide and shouted, "How much?" 10,000 acres? ”

"Nonsense."

Zhang Hongyang squinted his small eyes and immediately calculated, when he was selling opium with Huang Jinrong and other Qing Gangs, he knew that the tobacco paste scraped out of an acre of large tobacco field could earn fifty taels of silver, which is equivalent to the current ocean is ninety yuan of ocean money, which is only the money of big tobacco paste, the shell of big tobacco, tobacco leaves, tobacco sticks, and you can buy thirty yuan, that is to say, one mu of big tobacco can earn one hundred and twenty yuan a year. Then 10,000 acres is 1.2 million. Of course, this 1.2 million yuan also has to remove labor costs, consumption, and the rise and fall of prices, and finally 10,000 mu can earn 1 million oceans. After calculating in his heart, Zhang Hongyang said: "This big tobacco makes money, since Heilongjiang Province is vast and sparsely populated, it earns more, one acre of land can earn one hundred and twenty yuan, of which tobacco paste can earn is a piece, tobacco leaves, tobacco shells, and tobacco sticks can be sold for thirty yuan, of course, excluding labor costs and other wear and tear consumption, one acre of tobacco land can earn one hundred yuan." 10,000 acres of land can earn one million yuan. If the marshal cultivates some more and cultivates 50,000 acres of land, then your army will not have to worry about finances. ”

Wang Maoru knows how to make money by growing tobacco, but he doesn't know how much money he can make, in addition to labor costs and consumption, one mu of land can earn 100 yuan a year, how much land can be reclaimed in the entire Heilongjiang? In later generations, Heilongjiang had more than 11 million hectares of cultivated land, which was converted into acres, and one hectare was 15 mu, that is, 165 million mu of land, and every mu was planted with tobacco, that is, ...... 16.5 billion oceanic ...... Yes, hurry up and take back the dream, if you really grow a lot of tobacco, you will have money, but people will starve to death. Moreover, the overplanting in later generations almost ruined the ecological environment of Heilongjiang.

Removing the unrealistic fantasies and emotions in his mind, Wang Maoru laughed and said: "I didn't expect to be so profitable to grow big tobacco, so let's increase the amount of big tobacco fields a little next year, adopt mechanized planting, and you, you will be responsible for sales, and use our mechanized big tobacco fields to defeat what Sichuan soil and cloud soil." ”

"A little more? Be...... How much? "Zhang Hongyang is more sensitive to money, adding one mu is an extra hundred yuan, this Cantonese man asked in an unskilled childish voice, and his voice was very weird.

Wang Maoru thought about it for a moment and said: "Increase it to 100,000 mu, not too much, too much will collapse the tobacco market, the price of tobacco will fall, and we should not make much money." ”

Zhang Hongyang opened his mouth wide for a long time to react, and couldn't help but sit on the chair in fright and sigh. Look, this is the person who does great things, this is a little more, this is a tenfold increase.

Wang Maoru asked, "By the way, little God of Wealth, do you know how to make cigars?" ”

"What is a cigar?" Zhang Hongyangqi said.

"It's Cigar."

"Cigar, I know." Zhang Hongyang said.

"How about we make a cigar out of big tobacco leaves?" Wang Maoru asked.

Zhang Hongyang opened his mouth wide, and only said half-loudly, "Dashuai, Dashuai doesn't want to use big tobacco leaves to make cigar?" ”

"Why not?"

"It's either no, or it's ...... The real material of cigar is not opium leaves, it is tobacco leaves, will people die with opium leaves? Zhang Hongyang asked.

"Give it a try, and if it doesn't work, change it." Wang Maoru said with a smile, Zhang Hongyang scratched his head, this handsome idea is really wild, using opium leaves to make cigar, which can be regarded as waste utilization.

After talking about the big smoke, Zhang Hongyang said: "When I was in Shanghai, I was going to buy some factories in Shanghai, but I felt that those factories were aging and strict, and they were all enterprises suitable for the southern climate, not for the north. Therefore, only some factories were selectively acquired, and none of the knitting factories were purchased. ”

Wang Maoru nodded and said, "You should be thoughtful, after all, the factory in Shanghai is also integrated with the local environment." ”

"So I took it upon myself to buy some machines, and I also bought some of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau's belongings." Zhang Hongyang snickered, "This Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has been getting worse day by day since the Republic of China, but there are more and more officials and fewer and fewer workers." Officials are often in arrears, let alone workers. I entrusted the people of the Green Gang to make peace, and they recruited the workers, technicians, and equipment for making the 75mm Krupp field cannon. Wang Maoru was very surprised and asked him, could it be that the officials of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau let the brain drain?
