People in the Republic of China start from building a top power

Before he came, he had indeed heard about Li Jingwei's character.

From the mouths of some Chongqing local businessmen, Gu Yulin learned that although Li Jingwei started as a small businessman, he has always been very happy in business and never had any dirty thoughts.

Li Jingwei's previous actions also precisely illustrated this point.

Then Li Jingwei said bluntly: "To tell you the truth, Brother Gu, if you came to me to talk about development a year or two ago, I would most likely refuse.

At that time, Chongqing had not become the bustling city it is today. Because the great river was full of hidden reefs, there were not so many merchant ships on the Yangtze River in the past.

At that time, my family business was not as good as it is now, and I didn't have such big ambitions.

However, since economic development has driven the prosperity of commerce and trade, Huayin Group specially sent people to clean up the hidden reefs in the river with explosives in order to allow Chongqing to serve as the gateway to Sichuan.

Since then, more and more ship merchants have come and gone on the river.

I also want to make money. Seeing many ships from other places bring countless goods, and transport all kinds of goods from Sichuan, and go outside to make a fortune, I am very greedy! "

What Li Jingwei said was the truth.

He started as a low-level businessman, and he has a way of discerning people's hearts.

Although he had just met Gu Yulin, Li Jingwei did not doubt his vision at all. In his opinion, Gu Yulin was by no means a young person, but a trustworthy partner.

Of course, the specifics will depend on future cooperation.

Gu Yulin had also heard about the bombing of the reef by the Huayin Group he mentioned.

The three cities of Chongqing, Jinling, and Hankou are all cities along the Yangtze River, and many goods are collected and distributed through the Yangtze River.

And two years ago, there were hidden reefs all over the Yangtze River. At that time, some merchant ships and cargo ships that came to the three cities to deliver goods sank because they hit the reefs.

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again and maintain the development and stability of the commercial trade of the three cities, the Huayin Group specially dispatched a team to blow up the hidden reefs in the river with explosives, making the current Yangtze River unimpeded.

And this further promoted the development of the three trading cities.

Now that the river is safe to drive, merchants are naturally more willing to transport goods from the Yangtze River, which in disguise increases the total amount of goods collected and distributed in Chongqing, Hankou, and Jinling.

After exchanging their opinions, the cooperation between the two parties was basically reached by default.

Li Jingwei was concerned about Gu Yulin's conditions, and asked, "Brother Gu hasn't answered my question just now, but what conditions do you have for helping me expand to the outside world?"

Gu Yulin nodded: "The conditions are naturally there.

To be honest, Hankou, Jinling, Chongqing, and Xuzhou are the four cities with the most developed inland commercial trade in China today.

And I resell the goods, so I naturally want to get a share of it.

Now, I already have a business circle in Jinling, and I also have friends in Xuzhou and other places to help me, but I have never set foot in Chongqing and Hankou.

However, if Brother Li is willing to cooperate with me, the matter in Chongqing will naturally be easy to discuss. The only thing we need to consider now is Hankou.

This is the place where the central part of the south of the Yangtze River meets the north. It has always been a prosperous capital with extremely developed trade.

And now I don't have the spare energy to start business in Hankou and Chongqing, so I hope Brother Li can help me and help me establish a solid foundation in Chongqing.

As for the land of Hankou, we can send people to investigate first, and then cooperate to establish a foothold there. After making profits, Brother Li and I will share [-]/[-].

In this way, brother Li doesn't have to stay in a corner, and I can get what I want, isn't it beautiful? "

"What brother Gu said is quite reasonable!"

After hearing Gu Yulin's thoughts, Li Jingwei's eyes lit up.

With Gu Yulin's help, he can break out of the circle in Chongqing, use Hankou as a springboard, and follow Gu Yulin's example to expand his business to Jinling and even Xuzhou in the north!

Moreover, Chongqing, Hankou, and Jinling are in the same line of transportation.

The Yangtze River outside the city is an important link connecting the three places.

And from Jinling to Pukou, you can go straight to Xuzhou through the Jinpu railway line, and through Xuzhou, you can do business in the north and northwest!

This is simply what Li Jingwei dreamed of.

Chapter 837: Hankou—the Prosperous Place in Central Chu

The alliance between businessmen often does not require any emotional foundation. As long as there is interest, they can ignore closeness, and strangers can instantly call each other brothers.

Just like the Huayin Group and the Eight Great Consortiums, one second they were rivals and enemies of each other, but in a second they can join together to carve up the interests of the island nation.

Li Jingwei and Gu Yulin also chose to unite out of interests.

After the two sides negotiated a cooperation, in the next few days, Gu Yulin and Li Jingwei discussed specific matters, and then the two sent representatives to Hankou for field inspections.

The development of commerce and trade in the Hankou area, they are only hearsay, and the specific situation will not be known until after investigation.

The men of the two went east along the Yangtze River and arrived at Hankou by water.

Gu Yulin's subordinate is Wen Changsheng, a confidant who has been doing business with him, and Li Jingwei sent his own housekeeper, named Li Wencai.

When the two entered Hankou Wharf, they were immediately attracted by the situation here.

Wen Changsheng was fine, he was used to the prosperity of Jinling City, and was a little surprised by the prosperity of Hankou, but Li Wencai was different.

He has always lived in Chongqing, and has never seen the bustling world outside. Chongqing has developed rapidly in the past two years. High-rise buildings have been erected everywhere in the city, and wide streets have been built. He thought this was a remarkable thing. .

But seeing the situation outside Hankou, Li Wencai realized that his vision was really low.

When the two came to the pier by boat, it was just in time for the peak unloading time here. They saw large and small freighters docked on the river near the pier, and there was a slightly scattered queue on the river.

The formation of these freighters extends from the pier to the river several miles away.

On the pier, countless workers are busy unloading.

These workers are supervised by some leaders, and shouts like "hurry up!" and "work harder" come from the mouths of these leaders from time to time.

Some of these people's accents come from the north, some from the south, and some of them simply have the accents of Jinling and Chongqing.

As the largest in the central part of the south and the top two inland commercial cities in China, Hankou receives goods from the central part of the south of the Yangtze River, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places, as well as the Jinling area every day.

Especially in Jinling City, where the trade was too prosperous, some merchants who wanted to transport goods to the north were afraid of delaying time in Jinling, so they simply went up the river and transported from Hankou.

After all, Hankou is also connected to Beiping by the Beijing-Hankou Railway, so it is not a big problem to transport goods northward from here.

After leaving the pier, the two entered the city together.

When they arrived in the city, the two rented a car and went to inspect some markets in Hankou City.

Looking at the rapidly retreating tall buildings next to the street, Wen Changsheng couldn't help muttering: "Hankou is worthy of the title of "Jinling No. [-]". The prosperity of this city is almost catching up with Jinling."

"Brother, what did Jinling Second say?"

Hearing the phrase "Jinling Second", Li Wencai was a little puzzled.

Wen Changsheng touched his chin and said with a smile: "When I was doing business with my master in Jinling, I often met businessmen from all corners of the country.

Some of them have been to Hankou, and they all say that the trade here is prosperous, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, and the market is prosperous, which is not much worse than Jinling.

Because among these populations, Hankou has become "the second place in Jinling". "

"I see."

Li Wencai nodded thoughtfully. He looked at the streets on both sides, and his eyes kept lingering among the shops and buildings around him.

Compared with Chongqing, Hankou is more prosperous.

This is a densely populated place, and it has been a prosperous capital since ancient times, and it is a representative of the prosperity of Chu.

Moreover, it is located in the Jianghan Plain, which is a fertile and abundant land. It has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times, and its economic and cultural development has always been in a leading position.

In the past two years, the rise of the domestic economy has made this important town in Chu more prosperous and developed.

Like Chongqing and Jinling, Hankou is located along the Yangtze River, with extremely convenient water transportation. It is also connected to the Beijing-Hankou Railway on land, and is the terminal point of the Beijing-Hankou Railway.

Goods and merchants traveling to and from Hankou can go straight down the river to Jinling, and go north along the Beijing-Hankou Railway to Zhengzhou and Beiping.

Therefore, Hankou has become the largest cargo distribution center in the central Jiangnan region in the past two years.

The development of commercial trade has made this place rise rapidly.

Sitting in the car, Li Wencai and Wen Changsheng saw tall buildings as far as they could see. Under the sunlight, the buildings cast mottled shadows on the ground.

There are quite a few businessmen who come here to do business, and they all come in and out near the various buildings, either in a hurry or in high spirits.

The development of commerce and trade not only made Hankou a prosperous city comparable to Jinling, but also made it a financial center.

After walking a few streets, both Wen Changsheng and Li Wencai saw that among the densely packed high-rise buildings, from time to time, there would be light boards and billboards with the words of such and such a bank.

The two also noticed that at the entrances of these banks, financial elites in suits and ties came and went from time to time.

There is a big difference in temperament between those who engage in finance and those who do business.

The financial elites are like tall and straight marble statues, standing upright wherever they go, with a kind of pride in their brows.

... 0

Most of the businessmen walked in a hurry, and most of them were dressed in long gowns and jackets, unlike financial people who wore suits and shiny leather shoes.

Li Wencai and Wen Changsheng could tell the difference at a glance.

From this, Wen Changsheng couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional.

Hankou's financial prosperity is somewhat similar to Huayin New District.

And Huayin Financial Company is near Huayin New District, where there are countless bank buildings, and financial people come and go in an endless stream every day.

What the two of them saw now was actually similar to what he saw in Huayin New District.

And this is also a positive impact brought about by the development of commerce and trade.

The development of commerce and trade has driven Hankou's economic prosperity. In addition, this is a rich place, and it is not far from Jinling, so the people's life is better.

Such a good economic background naturally stimulated Hankou's financial market.

But this change has only appeared in the past two years.

Two or three years ago, the domestic economy was underdeveloped, and the daily distribution of goods in Hankou was not large. There was no need for such a huge financial market to support local goods transactions.

Li Wencai and Wen Changsheng looked at these and silently remembered the situation here.

My master wanted to plan to develop here, and sent them over to investigate, just to confirm some local developments, so as to find opportunities to expand business.

They need to record all these things, and report in detail when they go back.

Chapter 838 Government Work Report Meeting

The development of various parts of the country, of course, will not be ignored by Wei Zuo and others.

One morning, high-level government officials received telegrams from the leader's mansion. The content of the telegrams was also very simple: In view of the current development situation in various parts of the country, the committee will convene high-level government officials to conduct a government work report meeting, listen to the opinions of all parties, and Make plans for future developments.

After receiving the notice, officials from various government departments are ready.

As you all know, this work report meeting is extraordinary.

At the end of the new year, the committee once convened a meeting with everyone. At that meeting, the committee highlighted the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance and other departments, so that these departments must make achievements and promote the development of various fields in the country. .

Now half a year has passed, and the overall development of the country has indeed achieved considerable results.

The committee convened the "[-]" meeting, which must be to allow them to report on their work progress in the past six months, and to further strengthen the requirements for various departments.

Time soon came to the second day.

This morning, officials from various government departments gathered at the leader's mansion and sat at the top of the conference table. After everyone was present, today's meeting officially started.

"I called everyone here today because I want to hear about the achievements you have made in the past six months.

Now the domestic economic development situation is very good, transportation, education, science and technology and other fields have made great achievements, and these achievements are all completed with the help of Huayin Group.

Huayin Group is just a private company, but it has assumed the burden that should have been borne by us.

Then I also want to know what achievements you have made in the past six months, and whether you have fulfilled your respective responsibilities. "

As he spoke, the commissioner looked at Chen Mingshu: "Chen Mingshu, let's start with your Ministry of Communications."

"Yes! Appointment!"

Chen Mingshu got up quickly after hearing the words.

He was unavoidably a little nervous when he was appointed to be the first to roll the roll.
