Zhang Tinglan briefly communicated with Song Zhongyi and found that this person has a good business acumen and has courage. The most important thing is that he has a sense of mission as a businessman, and he truly puts industry to save the country in his heart.

Zhang Tinglan mainly relies on Qiao Ruixuan and Liu Shucheng in business, but they are both traditional businessmen and have never run factories. Song Zhongyi has been operating the factory for more than five years and has rich experience. He is a rare talent.

Especially Song Zhongyi was completely lost by the Beiyang government. He had heard of the Bei Market and now he met Zhang Tinglan again. Although Fang was young, he was humble, calm and sophisticated. He was obviously a person who did big things and deserved to surrender.

"Mr. Song, of course I welcome you to move the factory to Fengtian, but the ugly saying goes ahead. Going to Fengtian is not about enjoying happiness, but about enduring hardships. You have run a textile factory, which is just a light industry. If you really want to make a strong country, we must build steel factories, machine tool factories, tractor factories, and even shipyards to form a comprehensive industrial system. For this goal, each of us must work hard, especially to obey the overall situation and not focus on our own gains and losses."

"Mr. Zhang, hardship is nothing. The most difficult thing in recent years is actually to deal with those officials. Every few days, I will ask you for money. My factory is there. In their eyes, it is Tang Monk's meat. Everyone wants to cut a piece of it. It is hard to defend against open and hidden arrows, and it is exhausted!"

Song Zhongyi was very excited when he said this: "Mr. Zhang, running a factory is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. I don't expect the government to help me, but I can't deliberately cause trouble and drag it down. China is vast and wealthy. We must work together and achieve good results. Do we need to look at the faces of foreigners?"

"It's good that Mr. Song has this determination." Zhang Tinglan said: "I just don't know how big your factory is, is it easy to relocate?"

"I originally purchased a British spinning machine, with a total of 3,000 spindles, and later it expanded to 5,000 spindles one after another. This time I plan to purchase another 8,000 spindles, and upgrade the textile factory to 13,000 spindles. There are more than 1,200 workers, and it is also a large factory in the north." Speaking of this, Song Zhongyi patted his thighs hard, full of annoyance.

Although Zhang Tinglan did not understand the textile industry, he remembered that after Zhang Zuolin took charge of the Northeast, he established the Fengtian spinning mill, with the initial scale of 10,000 spindles. If we count the newly purchased machines, Song Zhongyi's factory has surpassed Fengtian spinning mill, and this time he has found a treasure.

With Song Zhongyi's factory, Fengtian's textile industry's starting point will be raised a lot, and Zhang Tinglan showed a happy look on her face: "Mr. Song, can you still get the batch of machines you ordered?"

"Of course, you can store it at the Tianjin port. As long as the funds are in place, you can deliver the goods immediately."

"That's good. Since foreigners do not collect tickets for transportation, I will first provide you with 500,000 Russian rubles. You must keep the machine. Then the factory will be relocated to Fengtian as a whole. I will bear the cost of how much it will cost. The main technicians in the factory are hired with high salaries, and ordinary workers are willing to come to Fengtian to provide accommodation and double their salary. I have only one requirement, which is to build a textile factory as soon as possible!"

There is a reason why Zhang Tinglan is so anxious. There are no large textile factories in Fengtian and even the three eastern provinces. The clothes of the people are all woven by their own home. The local cloth in the Northeast, not to mention foreign cloth, cannot be compared with the local cloth in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. But now, when a large number of people are entering Guandong, the population in the Northeast is growing rapidly, and the cloth required is also rising sharply. This is a market with huge potential.

Especially the First World War is still going on, and there are quite a few cloths needed. They can quickly and completely relocate and put into production, and even find opportunities to open up the international market. Zhang Tinglan is worried.

"Mr. Zhang, there is another problem. The original sales of the textile factory were all within the control room. Now that it has moved to Fengtian, the scale has expanded again. I am worried that it will not be able to sell it."

"Mr. Song, you don't have to worry about sales. I will do my best to solve it. And we want to sell the cloth to Europe to make foreign exchange directly. At that time, we will buy the machine directly in foreign currency, and you will not be in this situation!"

Zhang Tinglan was full of confidence and Song Zhongyi was sure. The two sides had almost the same talk. Zhang Tinglan immediately took Song Zhongyi to the Six Kingdoms Hotel to provide him with funds and also led him to meet Zhang Zuolin. After all, he was too young. If Lao Zhang made a statement, Song Zhongyi would be more at ease.

They hurried back to the Six Kingdoms Hotel. Before they could enter the hotel, they saw a large group of people gathered outside. Zhang Tinglan asked for it and found out that Wang Shizhen was also temporarily staying here. Yuan Keding personally sent Wang Shizhen over. It was a coincidence that they met at the train station and at the hotel.

The eldest son treated Wang Shizhen very respectfully. After they walked in, Zhang Tinglan went in and found Zhang Zuolin. When Lao Zhang saw Zhang Tinglan come back, he asked him to change into formal clothes and prepare the gifts immediately before he could speak. The one Lao Zhang wanted to bribe the most this time was Yuan Keding, so when he saw Yuan Keding also arrived at the Six Kingdoms Hotel, Lao Zhang hurriedly ordered Yuan Jinkai to invite him.

Zhang Tinglan also knew that it was important to deal with the eldest son, so she hurriedly prepared according to Lao Zhang's instructions. They had been waiting at the door of the room for more than half an hour before Yuan Keding left Wang Shizhen's room and came to see Zhang Zuolin under the guidance of Yuan Jinkai.

Yuan Keding brought Wang Shizhen out in fact to replace Duan Qirui. Old Yuan had the idea of ​​becoming the emperor and first tested his subordinates' words. As a result, only Duan Qirui clearly opposed it, so Old Yuan was dissatisfied with Duan Qirui.

However, Duan Qirui is known as the Beiyang tiger, with a high prestige and a leader of the Beiyang clan. Since the Republic of China, he has been in charge of the Army Department, with many close friends and deep roots. After thinking about it, Old Yuan thought about it and felt that if he wanted to take down a tiger, he would use a dragon, so he instructed Yuan Keding to invite Wang Shizhen.

For the great cause of Old Yuan, Master Yuan was willing to go on a journey and even kneeled down. Finally, he invited Wang Shizhen. Yuan Keding realized that it was a great achievement, so he was proud.

At this time, Yuan Jinkai came to invite Yuan Keding on behalf of Zhang Zuolin. The eldest son realized that there was a commander Zhang living in the Six Kingdoms Hotel. Old Yuan always valued local powerhouses, but Yuan Keding obviously did not take Zhang Zuolin seriously. After receiving the invitation, the first thing he thought of was a gift. There were too many people who cursed him during this period.

The eldest son came to see Zhang Zuolin excitedly with the intention of supplying goods. At this time, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan were both waiting at the door of the room. He saw a middle-aged man in his thirties walking over from afar. Old Zhang hurriedly took a few steps and bowed his hand to show his respect.

"The eldest son is here, Zuolin is very honored!"

Yuan Keding is different from Yuan Shikai. He is tall and has a good appearance. If he hadn't broken his legs because of falling off a horse, he would have been considered a handsome man. When he saw Zhang Zuolin was very respectful, he hurriedly grabbed Zhang Zuolin, but he waited until Zhang Zuolin bowed before he pulled him, which was obviously a bit artificial.

Yuan Keding smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, I haven't seen him for three years and his style remains the same. My father has long said that it is as stable as a rock with Commander Zhang in Fengtian!"

Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing in the first year of the Republic of China. That time he was promoted to commander of the 27th Division, and Yuan Keding met him.

When Lao Zhang saw Yuan Keding talking about the old things, he hurriedly showed a panic: "Zuolin was born in a rampant family and was able to be promoted to the high position of the commander of the division, all thanks to the promotion of the president. Yuting dared not forget it for a moment."

Zhang Zuolin said and asked Yuan Keding to enter his room. After sitting down, Yuan Keding took the initiative to ask about Fengtian's public opinion.

"Teacher Zhang, newspapers everywhere have been discussing the national sports issue recently. I wonder what the situation is in Fengtian?"

"The eldest son, Zuolin is a soldier and does not understand politics. However, I have heard many people mention this matter. Most people say that the people of our country have not yet been enlightened, and the President is far-sighted, which is the hope of the people. Everything depends on the will of the President. As long as the President makes a decision, the Emperor of Heaven will definitely follow the orders."

Yuan Keding nodded, and was very satisfied with Zhang Zuolin's answer. He said: "I have been studying in Germany and found that the reason why Germany is strong is that it implements the monarchy system. The German Emperor commands the whole country, and is united in his heart. The country is strong and the people are rich. It is a model for China. However, there are always some villains in the country who do not understand the international situation nor the domestic people's conditions. It is really hateful to oppose it blindly!"

"Young Master, those people are all shaking trees, overestimating their abilities, and the people's morale is on the side of the President. They can't make a fuss." Lao Zhang said and gave Zhang Tinglan a wink. Zhang Tinglan understood and hurriedly handed a bank ticket to Lao Zhang.

Lao Zhang smiled and said to Yuan Keding: "Zuolin has been deeply favored by the President and cannot be repaid. He is willing to give in to help the eldest son with a weak force!" As he said that, he sent the bank ticket to Yuan Keding.

In Yuan Keding's impression, Fengtian has always been a poor province. There is nothing worthy of praise except for the local products such as ginseng, but after he took the bank ticket, his eyes lit up.

Lao Zhang sent out 200,000 rubles at once, which was equivalent to 230,000 oceans, and the amount was definitely not small. Moreover, the Chinese people's own money in this era was not as strong as foreign currency, so Lao Zhang sent out foreign currency directly, which made the eldest son very pleased. Of course, he didn't know that these rubles would turn into a pile of waste paper in the near future.

"Yu Ting, you're so polite! Fengtian is not rich either, so how can I accept your gift!"

From "Teacher Zhang" to "Yu Ting", the face is all about this bank ticket. Old Zhang knew it very well, but he still had to continue pretending: "The eldest son, as he said, Fengtian is not rich, but our loyalty to the eldest son is clear. In addition, I have some local products to offer to the eldest son!"

When Yuan Keding heard that Lao Zhang was going to continue to deliver things, a hint of relief appeared on his face. At this time, Zhang Tinglan had someone offer the gift. First of all, there were two old ginseng, and the largest one was more than nine taels.

As the saying goes, seven liang is ginseng, and eight liang is treasure. Old ginseng has the function of prolonging life. The more years the better the medicine is, the more effective it is. Zhang Zuolin spent a lot of money to impress Yuan Keding. Yuan Keding was indeed moved. He looked at the Presidential Palace without such a large ginseng, and his impression of Zhang Zuolin became better and better.

Then he gave him ten sea dragon hats and ten fox fur robes, all of which were top-notch leather materials, with charming colors, soft and smooth. When he touched with his hands, he felt like he was touching delicate silk.

Finally, Zhang Tinglan brought in two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls. Yuan Keding's eyes immediately became straight and a hot light appeared in his eyes.
