The dull whistle sounded from far away, and a train came quickly and began to slow down.
Next to the train station, a group of people were waiting solemnly.
The leader was clearly Wang Xiaoyang. He had short hair, two mustaches on his lips, and wore a black robe. He was capable and dignified. After Wang Xiaoyang got the news that Li Zhen was taking the army south by train to Guangzhou, he learned of his arrival. He had been waiting here for a long time. His eyes froze as the train stopped and fell on the first carriage. When Li Zhen got off the train, Wang Xiaoyang immediately stepped up.
Arriving in front of Li Zhen, Wang Xiaoyang leaned forward slightly and said loudly: "Welcome the President to Guangzhou."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Li Zhen and Wang Xiaoyang shook hands and looked at each other with a smile.
Li Xiaotong, Gu Lina and others got off the train one after another and stood behind Li Zhen.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Xueyan, Wang Chi and other businessmen also got off the train.
Li Zhen came to Hu Xueyan's side, glanced at Hu Xueyan and the people around him, and said with a smile: "You are taking the train from Nanjing to Guangzhou. Although it is not as fast as dawn and dusk, you must have a general understanding of trains. Will you I have many ideas. Next, you can take a walk around Guangzhou and take a look at the situation in Guangzhou. As one of the most open cities, Guangzhou has many foreign businessmen coming and going, and there are many business opportunities, and there will be opportunities to make a lot of money."
Hu Xueyan said: "Thank you very much, President, for reminding me."
Li Zhen continued: "Everyone who understands the situation in Guangzhou will probably go north. At that time, those who want to go back to Nanjing will tell Wang Chi. After unifying the number of people, Qi Zhenhai will send you all north to Nanjing by train. At present, Qiao Zhiyong is going home. I will return to Beijing soon to hand over the affairs of the Qiao family, and you can have more exchanges with Qiao Zhiyong."
When everyone heard this, they immediately expressed their gratitude.
Most of the businessmen present expressed that they wanted to stay and take a look.
When I come here, I have to take a look at the situation in Guangzhou. Although there are many big businessmen, they are only limited to their own land and have not been outside. As one of the most prosperous places in the world, Guangzhou is attractive. , Li Zhen left a guide for the businessman, asked him to take the businessman around, and then left with his group.
Liu Jintang led his army to follow Qi Zhenhai and placed army soldiers.
After Li Zhen led people to the governor's Yamen, Li Xiaotong, Gu Lina and others also checked in.
In the study room, Li Zhen and Wang Xiaoyang sat down.
Li Zhen did not beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Brother-in-law, tell me about Wu Shaorong. I have been thinking about this matter. What is going on? Please tell me in detail."
"Yes." Wang Xiaoyang said: "After investigating the matter clearly, it should be the Americans who instigated it."
Li Zhen frowned and said: "What do you mean it should be, I want a definite result, not a guess."
Wang Xiaoyang said: "It must have been instigated by the Americans."
Li Zhendao: "Say."
Wang Xiaoyang said unhurriedly: "The thing is like this. When Wu Shaorong's father Wu Bingjian was alive, he had an American missionary friend in Guangzhou. The two had a very good relationship. Similarly, Wu Shaorong also respected Wu Bingjian's friend very much and regarded him as a friend. Uncle, when Wu Shaorong got the news that you asked him to go north, he told the American missionaries about it, and then the American missionaries suggested that Wu Shaorong leave."
Wang Xiaoyang shrugged and said, "Then Wu Shaorong left."
Li Zhen said: "According to your statement, it is not specifically instigated by the United States."
Wang Xiaoyang nodded and said: "Yes, not the United States, but the Americans."
After a pause, Wang Xiaoyang continued: "According to the information I heard, the American missionary probably said something like this. The American missionary said that when Wu Shaorong's father, Wu Bingjian, was alive, the state often used various names to collect money and exploit Wu. The family's property, now that the president has founded the country, he is still trying to exploit the Wu family in various ways, trying to get the Wu family's money."
"Because these words prompted Wu Shaorong to leave."
"President, Wu Shaorong left just for a little money. This kind of person is of no use to the country. He left as soon as he left, and there was no loss to us."
Wang Xiaoyang didn't have a good impression of Wu Shaorong and spoke with a certain tendency.
Li Zhen muttered: "Although Wu Shaorong is not very good, the country's assets were lost when Wu Shaorong left. The Wu family is extremely wealthy. His departure directly caused the wealth to flow out and be absorbed by the United States. Americans are really He was so pervasive that he actually convinced Wu Shaorong. Brother-in-law, is this American still in Guangzhou?"
Wang Xiaoyang said: "Here, I didn't leave."
Li Zhensenran said: "How brave you are to still be in Guangzhou."
Wang Xiaoyang said helplessly: "President, although the news we got from various channels is that he encouraged Wu Shaorong to leave, he did not break the law. There is no evidence to prove that he committed a crime. Moreover, this person is also a recognized philanthropist, doing business to help some poor people. His reputation in Guangzhou is very good. If he is arrested, it will definitely have a very bad impact, so we cannot do anything about it."
Li Zhen said: "I didn't ask you to arrest him, but you should be careful about Americans in the future. Remember, once Americans come into contact with big businessmen like this frequently, you must keep it in mind. If the other party shows up again, Wu Shaorong In a similar situation, if someone is secretly arrested, this is a very important matter. Once a large number of businessmen go to the United States, our business will be affected, and the United States will make a profit."
"I see."
Wang Xiaoyang rolled his eyes and said, "I have an idea."
Li Zhen waved his hands and said: "Speak directly."
Wang Xiaoyang said loudly: "The Americans asked Wu Shaorong to move, which made the United States have such a wealthy businessman. Why don't we send people to lobby in the United States, let some American businessmen come here to do business, and let some Americans move to our country. Once All major businessmen from the United States have come here, which has also had a huge impact on the United States and is also beneficial to us."
There was a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, which was like giving him a favor in return.
Li Zhen stood up, slapped the table and said: "Wonderful, this is a good idea, but we can't just target the United States, but also the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other European countries. Whether they are business people or scientists, inventions All countries, etc., please come to our country and build China for us. Only that will help the development of our country."
Wang Xiaoyang asked: "How to implement it."
Li Zhendao: "Mas, who is staying in Nanjing, is just right. Let him lobby."
"Mas."
Wang Xiaoyang said: "President, Maas happens to be in Guangzhou, you can invite him."
Li Zhen said: "Invite people here immediately. I haven't seen you for many years."
Wang Xiaoyang immediately went to make arrangements. Within fifteen minutes, Maas walked in. When Maas saw Li Zhen, he froze on the spot and was extremely surprised. He did not expect that Li Zhen would also be present.
