Zhengdong Trading Company has been operating here for some time and has just moved to the new district. It occupies a very large area. The main building is a five-story office building. There are also several buildings in the company yard with warehouses of tens of thousands of square meters.
There are also dormitories for managers and employees, all of which are three-story apartment buildings.
Now the signs of "Zhengdong Railway Company" and "Zhengdong Law Firm" are hung on the main entrance of the company's office building.
There are three companies, the office occupies one floor, and the trading company and railway company each occupy two floors.
The trading company employs local Japanese clerks, and the management is composed of both Westerners and Montenegrins.
Zhengdong Railway Company actually acquired the Austria-Vietnam Railway Company.
Xianquan Port originally belonged to the Ouyue Territory, and as the Ouyue Division collapsed in the northern territory of the imperial continent, Ouyue Lord Kawamoto Daxin committed suicide in fear of crime, the old and new interest groups in the Ouyue Territory were shuffled, and the Zhengdong Railway Company also
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the acquisition of the Austria-Vietnam Railway Company, which was already suffering from poor management, was equivalent to acquiring the operation of all railway lines within the territory of Austria-Vietnam.
Of course, in fact, the mileage of the Otsutsuki Railway is not much. It is the inner part of the Otsutsuki main line from Otsutsu Castle to Kyoto, more than 100 kilometers, three stations, and a branch line from Otsutsu Castle to Xianquan.
Moreover, the original branch line to Xianquan was only for freight.
In addition to owning the railway lines in Ouyue, the Ouyue Railway Company also has five locomotives, twelve passenger carriages, and ten freight carriages. It has opened a weekly passenger train from Ouyue City to Kyoto, and from Xianquan to Kyoto.
The freight schedule depends on the cargo volume at the terminal and is not scheduled regularly.
After Zhengdong Railway Company acquires it, it will increase its passenger and freight carrying capacity based on operating conditions.
The Zhengdong Railway Company headquarters seems a bit small, occupying the second and third floors of a five-story office building.
The fourth and fourth and fifth floors are the headquarters of Zhengdong Trading Company.
On the first floor of the office building is Zhengdong Law Firm, which not only provides legal services to two friendly companies, but also does business to the outside world.
The three of them were registered together as Shoto United Company at the Xianquan Public Board Office, and their office in the imperial capital was the Kyoto office of Shoto United Co., Ltd.
…
The third floor of the No. 1 apartment building in the backyard of the United Company is the highest-level residence of the company, and is occupied by employees above the vice-president level of the United Company.
301 is especially larger, with a layout of five bedrooms and two living rooms.
301 is Lu Ming's new residence. His new identity is the special consultant of Zhengdong United Company. In fact, several bosses follow him, and he is the number one person in the United Company. At the same time, Lu Ming also serves as the general manager of Zhengdong Railway Company.
manager.
At this time, there were four people sitting in the large study room. In addition to Lu Ming, there were also Bai Yumeng, general manager of the trading company, lawyer Han Jinsheng, the head of the law firm, and representative Li Junheng, the representative of the United Company in Kyoto who had returned from Kyoto to report on his work.
In addition to being the actual controller of the United Company, Lu Ming is also the director of the Xianquan Special Work Department of the General Administration of Secrecy.
Bai Yumeng serves as deputy director of the Special Work Department.
The two are old partners. Bai Yumeng, a fat white man who looks like a Maitreya Buddha, looks very much like a businessman. It is hard to imagine that he is actually a hardened senior agent.
Li Junheng is a professional, but his deputy who is still in Kyoto is affiliated with the Special Work Department.
Li Junheng mainly reported on his interactions with powerful people in Kyoto on behalf of the United Company.
The dignitaries in Kyoto also have different attitudes toward the companies that Zhongzhou people set up business in Xianquan. Some are extremely repulsive, while others are fawning over them. Each has its own position.
Generally speaking, the old-school interest groups that have been suppressed by Yamamoto Yu's group are happy to see the arrival of the Nakasu people, which can reduce their pressure and balance Yamamoto Yu's aggressive arrogance.
When Li Junheng left, lawyer Han Jinsheng also said goodbye.
Lu Ming sipped tea and pondered for a while. Someone knocked on the door lightly and the person who was brought in was Kawamoto Shigeyoshi, the former division commander of the Ogotsu Division.
The Aoyue Division has ended its historical mission, and some people have settled in the Northern Territory.
But there are more soldiers who are homesick and want to return to Aoyue.
After Shigeyoshi Kawamoto sat down, he looked expectantly at Governor Zhang, now Director Zhang.
Lu Ming sipped the tea and sighed: "It is still a bit difficult to value justice. You know, even if it is used in the name of the Austrian-Vietnamese Brigade, it is true that they are mercenaries of His Highness the Prince, but if about ten thousand Austrian-Vietnamese soldiers come back like this, it will inevitably
It has caused too much turmoil, and suspicious people will think that we have plans for Otsuo Road and it is up to you to take the lead. Do you think Yamamoto Yu is a suspicious person?"
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi's full expectations turned into disappointment.
Lu Ming continued: "The peace between us and Japan is hard-won. You should also know that in fact, the people of Central China have never been an aggressive group. As long as Japan gives up the idea of getting involved in the Northern Territory, we do not want to have a war with your country.
Yes, so we don’t want to carry out this kind of provocation, because if the Ouyue Division returns with our help, it will bring too many variables to Ouyue Road. You should know that almost all the lords in Japan do not want you to come back.
, it would be best if you all died in the Northern Territory."
Shigeyoshi Kawamoto clenched his fist vigorously, but Governor Zhang's words were sharp, but they were true.
"We don't care what Yamamoto Xiong thinks, but we can't be enemies with all the Japanese lords." Lu Ming said, "Do you think this is true?"
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi nodded silently, Oue became a leader surrounded by wolves, and most of the lords got a share of the pie.
Lu Ming thought for a while, "However, if it is you, or a few of your senior generals, who want to bring your relatives back, of course there is no problem."
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi's eyes lit up, but he finally shook his head and said bitterly: "How could I do this? It will chill the hearts of the soldiers who followed us on the expedition. I can go home for a few days this time and see my old mother.
This is an unexpected favor, Lord Governor, thank you!"
Lu Ming said: "You and I don't have to be polite. In fact, you said, don't you want the Aoyue men to go home? If the time drags on for a long time, the lower-level sergeants will be irritable. In order to go home, mutiny is not impossible."
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi's heart trembled, "Mr. Governor, we live in the Northern Territory and are only grateful to the prince. How can we dare to rebel?"
Lu Ming said: "Don't be too sensitive. I'm just talking about human nature. If it were me, and I couldn't return to my hometown in a foreign land for a long time, I would go crazy!" After a pause, he pondered, and finally said: "Well, it just so happened that the railway company recently recruited
Railway police, there are 500 places, let's come back first. Although it is a drop in the bucket, but let them see hope, we will choose those with few brothers and sisters. If you are an only child, you will be selected unconditionally. In this way, you can secretly seduce Chen Cang and come back.
."
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi was overjoyed: "Okay!" Although the number of 500 places is not many, as Governor Zhang said, it can give soldiers living in foreign lands a hope of returning home.
Then Shigeyoshi Kawamoto was a little confused: "Okuyoshi Railway Company needs so many 500 police officers?"
Lu Ming said: "To prepare for a rainy day, the company must grow in size." Looking at Shigeyoshi Kawamoto, "Do you think there are too many people?"
Kawamoto Shigeyoshi hesitated for a moment, eager to explain. Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'm just kidding, go back and announce the good news and select someone."
"Yes!" Shigeyoshi Kawamoto stood up and saluted with a military salute. Unknowingly, Governor Zhang seemed to be his immediate superior.
The uncle lord of the clan has committed suicide, and the trees in the clan have fallen and scattered, and some have defected to the new master. The rest of the life is very difficult. It seems that except Governor Zhang in front of him, who can help the Kawamoto family change the fate of the Kawamoto family, there is no one else who can rely on it.
