The journey starts from the Titanic

"It's okay, I just make more arrangements while I still have the strength." The old lady Sheng smiled gratifiedly, looked at Sheng Qi and Song Ziwen, and said in her heart, "In the future, the Sheng family may rely on these two to make a comeback. You can't be rich and expensive, you can also live without worrying about food and clothing, and go on plainly."

"Ziwen, I will leave this to you, and don’t tell them. One day if I die and the investment is fruitful, don’t give them the money. The children of the Sheng family can only get the investment income. Dividends can only be dividends. You have to promise me about this."

Mrs. Sheng looked at Song Ziwen with a stern face.

What could Song Ziwen say, so he nodded.Pity the parents of the world, he admired Mrs. Sheng's shrewdness and decisiveness, and at the same time expressed her helplessness.

Coming out of the Sheng family, Sheng Qi was a little unhappy.

"What's the matter?" Song Ziwen asked.

"Nothing! It's just a little uncomfortable." Sheng Qi shook his head.

"Are you worried about money?" Song Ziwen hugged her lover in distress. This carefree girl is now thinking about family issues more and more. She has grown up.

Sheng Qi didn't say anything, and leaned silently in Song Ziwen's arms. After a while, he sighed quietly, "Mother's arrangement is reasonable, and the Sheng family really depends on her for support. One day she is gone, the Sheng family will collapse. "

"Don't worry. Isn't there still you and me?" Song Ziwen comforted.

"Thank you." Sheng Qi kissed Song Ziwen tenderly, feeling extremely at ease.

"Speaking of investment, since your mother has dealt with real estate in Shanghai, you can actually invest in real estate in Nanhua, build restaurants and shops, there are real properties there, and you can get a fixed income every year.

You know, Nanhua’s urban construction is now fast, and such investment will be effective sooner.But don't let your brother and the others take a bet, otherwise no amount will be enough to lose."Song Ziwen suggested.

"I listen to you." Sheng Qi smiled, and suddenly asked, "Can Nanhua gamble? Just open the casino, can it?"

"How did you think of this? Think of some crooked ideas." Song Ziwen squeezed Sheng Qi's delicate face and said in a bad mood.

He didn't know that in the original history, after the death of Mrs. Sheng, the Sheng family divided the family property, except after the government embezzled more than 20 million, the children of the Sheng family were allocated a large sum, and Sheng Qi received 80. Wan Heritage and others opened a top nightclub in Shanghai-Paramount!

Nanhua has been very strict in the investigation of large cigarettes. Basically, they will be shot as soon as they are confirmed to be selling opium.

Huang, gambling and drugs are not separated from each other, and the eyes of Da Yan also affect gambling and brothels.

Recently, the South China government is studying whether to open up gambling and pornography, implement a monopoly system, distribute casino and brothel licenses, and then the government will collect taxes from them to fill the funding gap for industrial construction.

Later, Song Ziwen did not think that a joke made by Sheng Qi really came true.This made him very emotional, saying that Nanhua has accumulated industrial construction funds, and he has almost no scruples.

Chapter 140 Anhui Labor Federation

"The old lady of the Sheng family invested 5 million in the construction of the Nanhua Railway Iron Plant?" Lin Yimin looked at Song Ziwen in surprise, it is hard to imagine that an old woman would have this courage!

"Sheng Xuanhuai has no successor, and the old lady is also planning ahead and making arrangements for the future." Song Ziwen explained.

"Yeah." Lin Yimin nodded and said with emotion, "It is better to spend millions of fortunes to cultivate their skills."

Last year's exchange of letters, Shanghai's business community was miserable and has not yet recovered.The Nanhua Railway project meticulously planned by Meihua Company caused a sensation in Shanghai, but there are not many people who really made up their minds to invest, and most of them are waiting and watching. Therefore, the railway bond is a bit "not popular" in Shanghai.

The Shengjia wants to invest in the construction of the Nanhua Railway. Lin Yimin naturally welcomes him and quickly provides courteous and thoughtful services. It is a pity that he can't publicize it with great fanfare, otherwise it can attract more investors.

Soon after Song Ziwen left, Axe Gang leader Wang Yaqiao came to Lin Yimin.

After Wu Manli went south, Wang Yaqiao breathed a sigh of relief. The power of Shanghai was still in the hands of the Taoist named Absinthe, but the feeling of Absinthe was not as terrible as that of Wu Manli's femme-hearted woman.

"Mr. Wang, just say it if you have something to say!" Lin Yimin said directly, looking at this divine dragon's headless account gang leader, with a short stature and ordinary appearance. The only thing that impressed me was the pair. The look in the eyes behind the glasses: cold and calm.

There seems to be a lot of energy in that short figure, which is not easy to mess with.

"I want to do a certain way for my brothers. The Anhui guys living in Shanghai have a hard life. They work hard at the wharf and barely earn a lot of money, so they can barely make a living. There are also people in their hometowns. It's more bitter. Those corrupt officials only know that they are exploited, which is really damned."

Wang Yaqiao said indignantly, as if he wanted to drive out the corrupt officials.

Lin Yimin nodded. The situation in Anhui was not good. A large number of farmers went bankrupt and flocked to the city. Most of them flocked to Shanghai to do the hardest and most tiring work.

In the world of Shanghai where the weak and the strong eat, they have to be ruthless to survive, so the axe gang's reputation is chopped off by other gangsters with an axe.

Axe Gang's gang, except for some fierce thugs who go to nightclubs and casinos to watch the venues, the rest are ordinary people sitting at the dock or pulling rickshaws.

The docks under the Meihua Company employ a large number of workers, many of them are ordinary helpers of the Axe Gang. Although the wages are not in arrears, they are not too high, and other benefits are better than average.

Even so, the jobs provided by Meihua Company cannot satisfy the growing number of Anhui people who are pouring into Shanghai, and of course people from surrounding provinces who want to live in the city.

Shanghai does not have enough factories to accommodate more and more livelihoods, and after a large number of unemployed people flood in, many problems will definitely occur in the city.

Lin Yimin has a clearer view of the underworld gangs. Except for a few diehards, the vast majority of the gangs are ordinary people. The reason for joining them is simple. They protect themselves and seek safety.

If they have a stable job, they are immediately unwilling to catch up with other things in their hearts, so as not to destroy the stable life that is hard to get.

"Mr. Wang, your request is very reasonable, and I have no reason not to agree. Now Nanhua really needs a lot of people. The brothers in the axe gang went south and participated in the fight against the Dutch. They were also meritorious. Nanhua will not treat them badly. "

Lin Yimin smiled.

"That's good." Wang Yaqiao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Lin Yimin's statement.The reason why he came to find Lin Yimin was because he received a letter from his brother Yu Likui in Nanhua, asking him to organize the folks to go to Nanyang.

Yu Likui is now a battalion commander of the South China Army and is stationed in Surabaya. Surabaya is one of the first cities to be built by South China. In other words, it is also a city that South China must occupy.

Yu Likui was shocked by the iron-and-blood measures of the South China government, and then excited, because not only a large amount of land fell into the hands of the Chinese, but also large-scale urban construction created a large number of jobs.

Thinking of the villagers struggling to survive in China, Yu Likui and the Anhui fellows in the army together, informed Wang Yaqiao of the situation and asked him to organize the villagers to go to Nanyang. And Guangxi people occupied it.

At first Wang Yaqiao didn't pay much attention, and then hesitated.Seeing that there was no news from Shanghai, but the Cantonese, Fujianese, and Guangxi people arrived in Surabaya on the whole ship, Yu Likui and others were anxious and couldn't help sending three telegrams to Wang Yaqiao in a row, urging him to seize the favorable opportunity and don’t hesitate. The words were earnest with a bit of sternness.

Wang Yaqiao didn't dare to neglect, he thought for a while. To do this beautifully, he still had to find Lin Yimin, the highest person in charge of the Meihua company in mainland China.

"Mr. Lin, can you hurry up on this matter! Now there are thousands of Bangbang boys on the dock, who have just come from their hometown. With them, they can work immediately." Wang Yaqiao said anxiously.

"Why is Mr. Wang anxious?" Lin Yimin was a little strange.

"Don't be anxious! I will become a historical sinner if I don't hurry." Wang Yaqiao sighed, and told Lin Yimin what Yu Likui and others had urged.This confession can gain Lin Yimin's trust even more.

"It turned out to be like this!" Lin Yimin smiled and said in his heart: This serious dwarf is also a rare joke, and even the historical sinner's hat has been brought out.

Well, Meihua Company shouted and said that Nanhua is good, and it's not as good as other people's experience.

"Well, first select a group of skilled young workers from the docks for training, and then send them to Nanhua. Later people will fill the vacancies left by the people in front of them. After these dock workers arrive in Nanhua, they will be paid better Shanghai is better.

There are other jobs. For example, if you want to work on a farm, there are as many recruits as you can. The more the better, I will give you 50,000 places!I believe it is not difficult to complete with your influence."

Lin Yimin explained.

"Only 50,000?" Wang Yaqiao was a little dissatisfied.

"Fifty thousand a year!"

"It's still a little bit less. I heard that the southern provinces are the entire ship sailing to Nanyang!" Wang Yaqiao complained.

"I know. That's because people have enough ships. Businessmen in Guangdong and other places started to operate routes to South China. They don't take the ships of Meihua Company, and our capacity here is limited.
