Fengxian Jiangshan

People in the Northeast pay attention to cat winter. By December, the ground has long been covered with thick snow. It is the same as reaching the bone marrow, and the current winter is much colder than that of future generations.

Zhang Tinglan also had to get a mink robe to wrap her whole body, with a dog fur hat on her head and thick cotton shoes under her feet. With this attire, standing in front of the mirror, she is still a handsome young man, looking like a freshman The bear becomes a spirit.

"A bear is a bear, and you can't make fun of your life for the sake of grace!" After Zhang Tinglan got dressed, she got into the carriage and went straight to the North Market.

Since Zhang Tinglan came to this era, he has regarded the North Market as the key point to break the situation, and the facts are exactly as he estimated. With the successful development of the North Market, more and more Fengtian businessmen actively joined Zhang Tinglan's chariot, and have been Until the establishment of the industrial group and the control of the official bank, the Fengtian business community was completely subordinated to Zhang Tinglan's sect.

At present, Xingye Company and the industrial group control the large and small commercial firms in Fengtian, control the main factories, and control the finance. The strength in their hands is already quite strong.When finance and industry are combined, the rudiment of a consortium has actually appeared, and what Zhang Tinglan wants to build is the Fengxi consortium.

With the support of a strong consortium, the Feng family can develop better. The combination of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols and the Huangpu family has already set a good example.Therefore, Zhang Tinglan attaches great importance to Fengtian's business development. No matter how busy she is, she will try her best to keep in touch with Liu Shucheng, Qiao Ruixuan and others to understand the latest situation.

"Young Master Zhang, I knew you would come, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Old Liu is too polite, I just wander around. How is the business everywhere?"

"It's very good, much better than before." Liu Shucheng said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang has become Marshal Zhang. The resistance to our development is gone. In the past, the government always came to make trouble, but now the people in the government take the initiative to help us." Let's help. Director Wang is rectifying law and order again, and even the number of soldiers and ruffians has decreased a lot. Without these extortion and extortion, it will be much easier to do business."

Liu Shucheng said with a smile: "During this time, I have been busy purchasing grain in various places. Many places in Fengtian have been hit by disasters this year. I'm afraid the price of grain will rise a lot next year."

"How much has it increased. We can't make this money. If someone is hoarding, we have to make a decisive move to stabilize food prices."

"Young Master Zhang, don't worry. We are not short-sighted people. Fengtian Industry and Commerce finally have hope for development. How can we dig our own grave. I heard that you have set up a work-for-work relief in Liaoyang. There will be more than 8 next year Did the peasants open up wasteland and farm the fields?"

"That's right, we are now selecting plots of land for farming, and we are preparing for cattle seeds and other things, and we will start working hard in the spring."

"It's good to open up wasteland. After opening up wasteland, we will have our own source of food. If there are any floods and droughts, and food production will decrease, we don't have to be afraid."

Liu Shucheng said some plans of Zhang Tinglan to open up wasteland and farmland, and he always had food in hand.Don't panic, this food is the magic needle of a society!

At present, the Northeast is sparsely populated, and the food pressure is much smaller than that in the Guan, but Zhang Tinglan is very clear that the Northeast will definitely immigrate from the Guan in the future, and it will also develop industries. The urban population will also increase rapidly, and the food demand will increase very quickly. If you don't make preparations in advance, there is a high possibility of a food crisis.

"Old Liu, are you interested in organizing people to open up wasteland?"

Liu Shucheng smiled wryly: "Young Master Zhang, don't laugh at me. Although I have become rich in business, and now I invest in factories with you, I always feel that the land is solid and reliable."

Zhang Tinglan nodded. It seems that what Wang Yongjiang said is not wrong at all. The people of the country have such a concept that freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, and it is easy and difficult to change.

"Old Liu, I am not opposed to investing in land, but I am firmly opposed to landlords who rely solely on land rent for rent. This time I plan to refer to foreign farm models. You can also observe that the income will be several times higher than land rent. "

"Young Master Zhang, you have never missed it. I will definitely learn from you."

If you can't curb the impulse of these people to land, it is better to let them become farmers than the local masters. This is Zhang Tinglan's wishful thinking.

For some things, it would be much easier for the people like Liu Shucheng to do it than the government. It would be great if these people really have the enthusiasm to build the countryside.In the future, the Northeast region will have a population of 5000 million people, and there is still a surplus of food. Even if the grain output is lower than that of later generations, it will not be a problem to feed 1000 to [-] million people in the Northeast. Now the three provinces have more than [-] million people, and there is huge room for growth.

If there are a large number of farms, there will inevitably be a shortage of labor. These businessmen will naturally introduce labor from the customs. Isn’t this just going to increase the population of the Northeast? Immigrants are also what Fengtian will do in the next step. The government and the people work together to create The effect must be very good.

"Old Liu, if we run a farm, we will not only produce grain, but also plant soybeans and develop oil mills."

Liu Liushucheng's eyes widened immediately, and his breathing was even a little short. He stared at Zhang Tinglan, and asked in disbelief, "Young Master Zhang, are you going to grab the Japanese job?"

"It was the Japanese who robbed us of our jobs. Everyone knows how profitable soybeans are. Even the West has to import from China. As a result, the processing and export are all controlled by the Japanese, and they just sit and watch a piece of fat fall into the mouths of the Japanese." , that is the blood and sweat of the common people in Fengtian, who can be reconciled to watching it being snatched by the Japanese!"

Liu Shucheng nodded and said, "I understand Young Master Zhang's plan, but this kind of matter is not up to the businessman, the government must be able to withstand the pressure of the Japanese.

"Well, what we need to do now is the layout in the early stage. First, we must have a soybean production base in our hands and have sufficient supply. The second step is to establish a new type of oil extraction plant. The machines and technology can be introduced to the United States. Wait until When the time is right, we will use places like Huludao or Yingkou to directly export soybeans to the outside world, and we will also establish a soybean trading center in the North Market. After completing these layouts, we will finally regain all the profits from soybean exports!"

Zhang Tinglan has long thought about taking the profits of soybeans, but it is too difficult for the Japanese to control them so tightly. Therefore, after planning for a long time, she came up with such a roundabout way, starting from planting, and slowly controlling the industrial chain by herself hands, and finally a decisive battle with the Japanese.

And by that time, Zhang Zuolin was almost already a tour envoy of the three eastern provinces, with great power in his hands, and the capital to deal with the Japanese.

"Young Master Zhang, since you have made up your mind, of course we follow suit. The Minsheng Department Store has officially opened for business in the past two days. Do you want to visit, Young Master Zhang?"

This Minsheng Department Store is the first store built in the North Market, and it is also the key to the popularity of the North Market. Zhang Tinglan also participated in the planning. His design changed the narrow and small layout of Chinese stores in the past, and referred to the style of supermarkets in later generations. The building is spacious and tall. The shelves are also tidy and hygienic, and the staff are also uniformly dressed.

In short, Zhang Tinglan made a bunch of suggestions, and I don't know how they will implement them. Now that Liu Shucheng suddenly mentioned it, Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Old Liu, take the initiative to invite me. I'm afraid the business is good. You want to show off!"

"Young Master Zhang, you're making a fool of yourself. You were the one who proposed Minsheng's design plan. We acted according to your instructions, and you deserve the credit!"

Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "In that case, let's go and have a look."

They left the headquarters of Xingye Company and went straight to the North Market. When they came out from the Great Western Gate, the road had more than doubled in size, and it was all asphalt roads for the convenience of going to the North Market.

There are more and more people walking along the way, some people are driving horse-drawn carts, and some people are pushing wheelbarrows, and there is an endless stream. Most of the people's carts are filled with rice, flour, oil, salt and other things, and some have firecrackers and Spring Festival couplets on the carts.

"Old Liu, it's too early to start buying new year's goods at this time?"

"It's not too early, and it's just over a month before the end of the year. All the people in the family are looking forward to this day! Besides, we need to buy the new year's goods early. What if we can't buy them at the end of the year?"

Liu Shucheng explained with a smile, Zhang Tinglan also nodded, and he also remembered that in his previous life, when he was young, his family also bought the New Year's goods early and prepared everything.It’s just that things became more and more abundant later, so there’s no need to worry at all. It’s the same when you buy them. Maybe it’s because there is no urgency and no sense of expectation, so the taste of the year has faded.

"This young master saw that you are a rich family, so you don't need to worry about these trivial matters, Shengdou people are different." The rickshaw driver said with a smile: "Just three days ago, Minsheng Department Store officially opened, and it was announced that within ten days, purchases for the New Year will be sent to you." [-]% off, the common people in Fengtian were alarmed, how many people are running to the people's livelihood these days."

As soon as Zhang Tinglan heard that the driver mentioned Minsheng Department Store, she asked with a smile: "It's not just cheap, what if the things are not good?"

"My young master, on the day of the opening, I went to Minsheng for a walk. I borrowed money and bought a bunch of New Year's goods to go home. Minsheng's things are complete. I walked upstairs and downstairs and bought everything. The price is already more than [-]% lower than outside, and there is a [-]% discount. Who can miss the good news of the pie in the sky, but everyone has come here. I heard that many people from other places have been alarmed and are planning to come. Minsheng is buying New Year’s goods!"

While speaking, Zhang Tinglan had already arrived at Minsheng Department Store, and saw dense crowds of people rushing in and out from a long distance away. It was already overcrowded. In order to ensure the basic order, Zhang Tinglan even had to mobilize a large number of police to maintain order. Zhang Tinglan did not expect Business would be so good that it would be on fire, but it would also bring troubles, and it would be too difficult to get in.

"Young Master Zhang, let's stop crowding with them at the main entrance, and go in from the back!"

Liu Shucheng led Zhang Tinglan into the Minsheng Department Store through the back door. Liu Shucheng pulled over a specially designed shopping cart and said with a smile: "Zhang Shao, according to your suggestion, we have made this thing. Don't tell me, push it on." After buying this shopping cart, most people will buy more things unconsciously."

Zhang Tinglan also noticed these shopping carts that don't look big but have an amazing volume, with a smug look on his face, this is one of the supermarket's traps! (To be continued..)
