On April 28th, Wu Chao first came to Zhang Chenxing, and the two came to the study to talk.

Zhang Chenxing was the first to ask.

"What's matter?"

"Master, the Fuxin Chamber of Commerce has purchased a large amount of porcelain and silk, and has already bought [-]% of the current porcelain and [-]% of the silk on the market.

And reached an agreement with many mulberry farmers to control silk, which is enough to affect the price of silk next year.

Reaching an agreement with kilns such as Dehua Kiln and Jingdezhen Kiln can control [-]% of the production of porcelain next year, which is enough to affect the price of porcelain.

However, this was all made with silver, and it cost a full 5000 million taels of silver.

If the tea farmers are taken down, I am afraid it will cost 3000 million taels of silver. "

Adding up to 8000 million taels of silver, Zhang Chenxing waved his hand indifferently.

"Don't worry about money, now we spend 8000 million taels of silver, in the future we can earn back [-] million taels of silver, [-] million taels of silver, or [-] million taels of silver.

Now we can earn the first sum, and starting tomorrow, the price of all porcelain and silk flowing out of our hands will be doubled.

The price of all porcelain and silk sold abroad will increase tenfold.

All those who ship goods with lower prices will be bought by me. "

"Yes, helper."

The next day, as Fuxin Chamber of Commerce's porcelain and silk prices rose sharply, the entire porcelain market and silk market became turbulent.

Some businessmen took the opportunity to add money to sell and made a lot of money.

Some merchants began to hesitate to sell, wanting to wait for a higher price to sell.

Some businessmen have foreigners in mind, and while selling at a lower price, they lobby everywhere.

"The market determines the price of commodities. If we wantonly raise prices, we will lose the western market and everyone will have nothing to eat."

Why doesn't he look at the high prices of Western silk and porcelain? As a producer, he only earns a little hard money, and most of the money goes to Westerners. Is this reasonable?

"We are Chinese people, we want to be Confucian businessmen, we can't get into the eyes of money."

If you don't look at money, how can you squeeze your own people hard to increase profits.

I don't even look at the life of the mulberry farmers and tea farmers.

"We can't give up the opportunity to contact Western civilized people just because of a little money."

"We need to maintain good relations with the West, and let the foreigners support and make money together."

.....................

A sentence of flattering words really persuaded a group of businessmen to jointly ship goods and lower prices.

But as long as they ship, they will be swept away in an instant.

In the whole of China, if a small amount of shipments is okay, if there is a large amount of shipments, the price will not meet expectations, and all will be swept away by a mysterious force in the dark.

After pulling and pulling a few times like this, the foreign comprador goods were empty. When they went to buy goods, they found that most of the good goods had been reserved.

The prices of good products that have not been reserved have also risen, and they cannot reach their price reduction goals at all.

As for ordinary goods, can they be sold to foreigners?

The foreign compradors here are running around for the foreigners, and the foreigners are also doing their best there, but with little success.

Putting pressure on the Beiyang government, the Beiyang government shrugged off normal business rules and had no way to interfere.

This time, the Fuxin Chamber of Commerce drew a big cake for the Beiyang government and the southern government, describing to them the annual tax increase after silk, porcelain, and tea returned to normal prices.

In this world, when you are good, I am good, and he is good, who will have trouble with money.

The government did not succeed, so they began to threaten the Fuxin Chamber of Commerce. As a result, the Fuxin Chamber of Commerce ignored them.

Using other methods, the law and order in the entire magic capital is now unprecedentedly good, and it is impossible to use it.

United boycott, but found that Fuxin Chamber of Commerce is not in a hurry.

In the end, they were more anxious, compromised, and lowered their heads to negotiate with the Fuxin Chamber of Commerce.

After Duolun's negotiation, the price of silk was increased by five times, and the price of porcelain was increased by eight times.

The Fuxin Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money because of this, and the Westerners made a little less, which is also a win-win situation.

If Westerners take the opportunity to raise prices, not only will they not make less money, but they will also make a lot of money.

This time the Westerners compromised, not only the Fuxin Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money, but the entire industrial chain of porcelain and silk also made a lot of money.

In the past, when there was a famine, the injured were all mulberry farmers, and the textile mills and silk merchants just made less money.

When there is a bumper harvest, the price will drop, and it will be the mulberry farmers who will be injured, and the textile mills and silk merchants will make a lot of money.

To sum up, in a word, the benefits do not belong to Sang Nong, and all the disadvantages fall on Sang Nong.

This time, with the participation of Fuxin Chamber of Commerce, it is different. As the price of silk increases, the price of silk will also increase, and mulberry farmers will also benefit.

With the compromise of Westerners, Wanshi Group has two more cash cows.

Before long, the tea war will come to an end, and there will be another cash cow.

On May [-], the Westerners compromised, the price of exported tea rose sharply, and the Fuxin Chamber of Commerce gained another cash cow.

On June [-], Zhang Chenxing and Wu Chaoxian got together again to discuss.

Only Zhang Chenxing asked.

"Master Wu, how is the loan from various countries going?"

After World War I, the currencies of various countries will depreciate sharply. If you don't borrow now, let alone when.

"It has been completed, converted into silver, borrowing 5000 million taels of silver from the UK, 5000 million taels of France, 5000 million taels of Germany, 3000 million taels of Italy, 7000 million taels of silver in the United States, 5000 million taels of silver in Japan, and [-] million taels of silver from other countries. [-] million taels of silver, a total of [-] million taels of silver, with an annual interest of [-]%, and all principal and interest will be returned after five years."

"How do you deal with the 5000 million taels of silver?"

"All industrial equipment was purchased and is now on its way back.

Among them, Germany, the United States, and Japan purchased cutting-edge industrial equipment or military equipment, while other countries purchased ordinary industrial equipment. "

"How much of our own more than one billion silver is used?"

"I used most of it, and basically used it to buy industrial equipment and various materials."

"I still say that, try to use up before July."

"I try my best."

"Has the recruiting been completed?"

"It's all done ahead of schedule.

Today there are fifteen militia groups, each with [-] troops.

There are 58 troops in the Linshui port guard team and [-] troops in the battle hall. Together, there are [-] troops with complete weapons and equipment.

As for how many troops there are at the Sheshan base, I don't know. "

There are 68 troops in the Sheshan base, and a total of [-] troops is enough to protect the entire magic city.

"How many workers does Wanshi Group have now?"

"160."

"Why so many?"

"Wanshi Iron and Steel Plant has expanded greatly, adding a full 10 people.

The Wanshi cement factory expanded greatly, adding 3 people.

The Wanshi Textile Factory expanded greatly, adding 10 people.

The Wanshi garment factory expanded greatly, adding 10 people.

All things construction company expanded greatly, adding 10 people.

Other factories expanded, adding a total of 20 people.

All things arsenal production, recruited 15 people.

Other new factories have recruited more than 30 people.

Including the original workers, there are 160 million people.

Moreover, our factories are still expanding and our workers are still growing.

I am afraid that by the end of this year, the number of workers will reach 200 million. "

"Our workers and army alone have nearly 220 million people. How many people are there in Devil's City?"

"Probably more than 700 million."

Originally, there were about 400 million people in Modu. Later, Wanshi Group developed and expanded, and gradually reached more than 450 million.

After Yuanjiang County was assigned to Shanghai, the number reached 500 million.

Before the massive expansion of Wanshi Group, there were almost more than 500 million.

Calculated in this way, because of the recruitment of Wanshi Group and the recruitment of Wanshi Army, the population of Shanghai has increased by 200 million.

"How can it increase so much?"

"Many of the people we recruit are family members, which is why we have increased the population."

"With so many people added at once, is there any problem with housing, management, and food?"

"We are well prepared and there are no problems with these."

"The seven districts in the south of the Yangtze River have suddenly increased their population by 200 million. Has it become prosperous?"

"It's much more prosperous, and I'm afraid it won't be long before it can be compared with the Modu District, the Public Concession, and the French Concession.

The Yuanjiang District and Linshui District are already comparable to the Shanghai Metropolitan District, the Public Concession, and the French Concession, and their development potential far exceeds that of the Metropolitan District, the French Concession, and the Public Concession. "

Before he knew it, Zhang Chenxing had changed Jiangnan Seventh District.

As time goes by, Jiangnan Seventh District will get better and better.

"Is the Wanshi Industrial Park enough?"

"It's enough for the time being, but if it continues, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"Let's plan ahead and build a second Wanshi Industrial Park."

"I think so too, just where?"

"Which district do you think is better to build?"

"I think it is best to build in the Wanghai District. Not only is it close to the sea, the transportation is convenient, and the foundation laid by the Wanshi Iron and Steel Plant here is enough for us to advance quickly."

Zhang Chenxing shook his head and said.

"Wanghai area is not good, it is too close to the sea, and we don't have a navy, if the enemy attacks from the sea, all efforts will be ruined.

Recently, I have been thinking about building a new steel branch factory to spread risks. "

Although he has the Sea God Guard in his hands, he can't guard all the sea areas of the Demon City.

"Since the Wanghai area is not good, let's go to the Shangbu area. Although it is close to the sea, it is far away from the sea to the west."

"No, it's still a bit close to the sea."

"If Shangbu District doesn't work, we can only look for it from outside the Modu."

"What do you think of Sanshan County?"

"Sanshan County is located in the southwest of Shanghai, far away from the sea, and borders Yuanjiang District, so it is indeed very suitable.

It's just that the three mountainous areas belong to Zhejiang, and we may be a little beyond our reach. "

"As long as it is assigned to the Modu like the Yuanjiang District."

"That's fine, but you need to communicate with the higher up."

"As long as we decide to build an industrial park in Sanshan District, it should not be difficult."

Of course, it's not difficult. Because of the Wanshi Industrial Park, Yuanjiang District has become the most developed area in China, and its tax contribution exceeds that of other areas.

In terms of tax revenue, neither the Modu District nor the Linshui District can compare to the Yuanjiang District.

"This matter still requires the helper to come forward and show enough sincerity."

"I will visit District Chief Li tomorrow, and I will visit Mayor Zhou with him."

"Can we do the preliminary preparations now?"

"Do it, anyway, this time I am bound to win."
