The output of Kailuan Coal Mine reached more than 5 million tons in 1932, and the current output is about 2 million tons. It is an out-and-out cash cow. It is absolutely impossible for the British to give up, and even the Beiyang government has nothing to do.
, so when Zhang Tinglan said he could take back the Kailuan Coal Mine, Zhou Xueyuan only thought he was bragging.
But Zhang Tinglan looked solemn, as if full of confidence, and Zhou Xueyuan couldn't help but think in his heart. If this young man really had a way to take back the Kailuan Coal Mine, it would at least prove that his ability was beyond imagination, and he might be a good candidate.
"Director Zhang, you can't just talk in vain. Do you have a way to quickly get the Kailuan Coal Mine back?"
"How can such a large coal mine be recaptured at once? It must be done slowly."
"Do we have to wait ten or eight years?"
"That's not necessary. It will be about the same within three years, and it will not exceed five years at most."
In order to frighten Zhou Xueyuan, Zhang Tinglan didn't mind playing the role of a magician and said with a smile: "If you want to take back the Kailuan Coal Mine, you have to make the coal mine look less profitable and turn it into a useless piece of meat that is worthless and a pity to abandon.
Then the British will give up on their own initiative."
"To put it lightly, everyone knows that coal mines make money, and the British are good at running it, so how can they lose money?"
"Isn't this easy? By mining coal mines elsewhere, increasing supply, and suppressing the price of coal, they will make less money. In addition, they can incite workers to strike, preventing them from starting work normally. As long as they persist, the British
I definitely can’t bear it.”
Zhou Xueyuan heard that this seemed to make sense, but he couldn't completely believe Zhang Tinglan's words, so he couldn't help but said: "Coal mines are not everywhere, and if workers are encouraged to go on strike, they must be accommodated, find jobs for them, and arrange meals.
Otherwise, who will listen to you?"
"This is not a difficulty for me. There are coal mines in Jilin, and they are large-scale, and the quality is no worse than the Kailuan Coal Mine. I am preparing to develop it, and I also need a large number of coal miners. As long as I encourage the workers of the Kailuan Coal Mine to go on strike,
Let them go to work in Jilin, and the workers will have a place to live. In addition, the coal mined in Jilin and sold to Beijing and Tianjin can be used to lower prices. It is simply the best of both worlds!"
Zhang Tinglan has long been thinking about developing Jilin's resources, but no matter what he does, he must have workers. If the Zhou family can help dig out the corners of the Luan Coal Mine and get a group of excellent workers, he will save the boss the trouble.
Already.
Zhou Xueyuan obviously didn't know much about business matters. He didn't see through Zhang Tinglan's evil thoughts. Instead, he focused on taking back the Kailuan coal mine. After thinking about it, he said: "This seems to be a good thing, but I still send someone to talk to my fourth brother."
Let’s talk, I can’t make the decision.”
"No problem, I'll arrange for someone to go there right away. For the time being, we'll hire 200 workers and then continue to expand."
Zhang Tinglan secretly calculated that as long as these workers are in place and a batch of coal mining equipment is purchased from the United States, the Jixi coal mine can be developed. The Jixi coal mine has reserves of more than 6 billion tons, and has a complete range of coal types. The mining value is even higher than that of the Kailuan coal mine.
Above that, as long as it develops, Zhang Tinglan will have another financial backbone.
After successfully deceiving Zhou Xueyuan, Zhang Tinglan immediately felt a lot more relaxed and hurriedly arranged the moving arrangements. The most important thing was to quickly rectify the situation in Jilin.
When everything was almost done, Zhang Tinglan ordered the army to go directly to Jilin. In order to rush for time, he chose to take the train. At this time, it was November again, and the snow began to fall in the Northeast, and there was a thin layer of snow falling on the ground.
On the first floor, the temperature was also dropping rapidly. A stream of white air came out of the mouth, which was then blown away by the northwest wind.
"Xin Yao, the north wind blows the white grass on the ground and the snow falls in August. Have you heard these two sentences?"
"Every kid knows something, and you use it to test me!"
"I'm not showing off my knowledge, I'm saying that our northern Hu'er will not survive this winter."
The Hu'er mentioned by Zhang Tinglan naturally refers to Tsarist Russia. In the past summer, Tsarist Russia once again suffered a disastrous defeat on the Eastern Front. More than one million gray animals died on the battlefield. This winter may be difficult for the Tsarist.
It's extremely cold.
In the next year, it will be the February Revolution. By this time next year, it will be the October Revolution. The huge Tsarist Russia will completely fall apart. How many benefits can be reaped? Zhang Tinglan's head can't help but spin rapidly, without stopping for a moment.
.
Zhou Xinyao watched Zhang Tinglan fall into deep thought. She also sat quietly aside and stared. The man in thought seemed to be a charming work of art that she would never tire of!
Soon their train arrived in Changchun, and then Zhang Tinglan rushed to Jilin. His father, Zhang Zuoxiang, has been sitting in Jilin during this period, responsible for exterminating bandits, rectifying local security, and supervising the autumn harvest work. He is very busy. Now
Zhang Tinglan rushed over, and he could breathe a sigh of relief.
"You brat, you are willing to come to Jilin to help me. I thought you were too happy to miss Shu!"
"Look what you said, didn't I want to find you a daughter-in-law? Otherwise I would have come here long ago!"
"Okay, okay, it's time to start a family and start a business. If it were two years later, I might not be able to hold my grandson in my arms."
Zhang Tinglan knew clearly in her heart that her father was just pretending. He also had a younger brother and sister who had just been weaned. He was so energetic that he could not hold his grandson! However, Zhang Tinglan also noticed that Zhang Zuoxiang did have gray hair on his temples.
, obviously there is a lot of pressure during this time.
"Dad, are you always troubled by anything? My son can help you think of a solution."
Zhang Zuoxiang sighed and said: "It's not a matter of local security. I only have more than half of the division in hand now. It's difficult to deal with the bandits. However, there are a large number of Russian troops and expats along the Eastern Road. These Russians are running amok.
Taboo is simply more rampant than the Japanese. How should we deal with it? Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, of course!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I thought about it along the way. Facing these Russians, I must not indulge them. In Europe, Russian soldiers are called gray animals. They are a group of incompletely evolved people.
These guys have wild nature in them. To deal with them, you must crack the whip and never be polite."
"I would like to say, don't act recklessly. We have fought against Japan so many times in Fengtian, and although we have had some near misses, there is nothing we can do about it. Now that Fengjun has gained a fortune, we must fight steadily and not casually."
Zhang Tinglan also had a smile on his face and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I have enough ways to teach these Russians a lesson so that they can't say a word. I also want to thank us."
"Hit them. They can still thank us. Isn't this a bitch?"
"Yes, they are just cheap!"
While the two men were talking, suddenly the governor Guo Zongxi came to see him and saw that Zhang Tinglan had also arrived in Fengtian. Guo Zongxi finally showed joy on his face. With Zhang Tinglan here, all troubles would be easier to solve.
"Commander Assistant. I would like to say that something happened at the Jiapigou Gold Mine. Russian gold diggers beat up Chinese workers. There was a conflict between the two sides. The Russians started fighting very ferociously. Fifteen of our workers were killed.
As a result, all the workers were angered. They wanted to rely on their numerical advantage to fight the Russians. The military and police responsible for managing the gold mine were worried that it would lead to a conflict between China and Russia. They tried their best to suppress it, but they could no longer suppress it.
, I came here just to find a solution."
In fact, the situation in Jilin is much worse than that in Fengtian. First of all, Jilin is a vast area with a sparse population and a weak government. In addition, Russia has been in chaos since World War I. Many refugees and businessmen have fled to Jilin and Heilongjiang. This gang
These guys have different religions and have all kinds of gadgets. However, the local government in China does not dare to offend them. This group of people completely disrupted the local area and became a serious problem for public security.
This is especially true for the Jiapigou gold mine. More and more Russians gather near the gold mine, dreaming of getting rich overnight, and conflicts between them and the original Chinese workers are inevitable.
"All the military and police officers who manage the gold mines have been dismissed, and no one can be retained!" After Zhang Tinglan read the report, he immediately burst out in anger and cursed: "They are all a bunch of bastards and cowards. Their mission is to protect the gold mines and the workers. As a result, Russia
When people are bullied to the point of being bullied, they don’t know how to stand up, and in turn threaten our workers. This is not just cheating, but if the gold mine is handed over to such a bunch of trash, there will be no hope at all.”
"I'd like to say, don't just know how to shout and kill. You are not a three-year-old child. Now Governor Guo wants you to come up with a feasible solution. What should you do? Should you attack the Russians? Once they are angry,
The key to the matter is how Horvath's bearded man will react to the Russian garrison along the Middle East Road."
There was a slight blame in Zhang Zuoxiang's tone. Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "I will deal with Horvat's side and keep it so that he can't object. In addition, mobilize a regiment of troops to rush over and give me all the Jiapigou gold mines."
Take control. From now on, this gold mine belongs entirely to the Jilin government. Until we rebuild the management system, no one is allowed to mine. Anyone who violates the order will be shot on the spot!"
Zhang Tinglan has been gearing up for the gold mine for a long time. Now that he has just arrived in Jilin, something like this happened. It is both a trouble and an opportunity. Zhang Tinglan will never let it go.
"Honestly, Horvat is a very cunning guy. Even if he has smuggling dealings with us, once the Chinese Communist Party attacks the Russians, it will annoy the Russian government. Our past friendship is of little use.
, it’s not easy to make Horvat submit!”
"Dad, don't worry. I have a handle on Horvath, and that guy is greedy. As long as I agree to jointly develop the gold mine with him, he will take the initiative to help."
When Zhang Zuoxiang heard that Zhang Tinglan was planning to cooperate with Horvat, he immediately frowned: "That gold mine belongs to us, and we gave it to Horvat for nothing. I'm sorry, are you willing to give it up?"
"Of course I can't bear to part with it. This is just drawing cakes to satisfy hunger." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "In name, I promised to give him dividends, but the gold produced will be put into the Fengtian Bank account, and he will not be able to withdraw a penny. Moreover,
As long as he waits for a period of time, the money will never be given to him!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan also showed a proud smile on his face. This is the advantage of a time traveler. In a few months, the life of Tsarist Russia will enter the final countdown. Horvat, the commander-in-chief, will instantly change
It's worthless. How much profit is given to him now is destined to be just a book number and can never be implemented.
After the discussion was complete, Zhang Zuoxiang ordered the army to dispatch, guard all the Jiapigou gold mines, and implement strict military control measures. The Russian gold diggers should not be killed for the time being, but they should be firmly controlled.
As for Zhang Tinglan, she rushed directly to Harbin and met with Horvath, the commander of the Middle East Road Guard. In the commander's mansion full of Russian style, Zhang Tinglan met Horvath again.
"Big Beard, we meet again, how are you always?"
"It's very bad, Zhang, you are causing trouble. Some Russian expatriates have already complained to me. You are unscrupulously violating the interests of Russian businessmen and detaining them like piglets. Although we have a good friendship
, but there are some things I can’t help you with. This affects the empire’s face, so I have to take action.”
"Old friend, if you want to take action, I won't be polite. You have tens of thousands of troops protecting the road, and I have a division of troops. If you can suppress me with Russia, I can also send evidence of your crime to
Petrograd, do you want to see this kind of fateful outcome?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
