"There is never a lack of trust in the land of freedom! The empire of money is never a lack of collusion with interests...com"

Regarding the world, the United States' economic development model is unique. Guided by the rise model that ordinary people think is impossible, the rapid prosperity of a capitalist country is vividly presented to the world. In just over thirty years, twenty-four trust enterprises have grown up from that free land in just over thirty years, and soared to ninety-two in 1899. By 1902, it had grown to more than 800, oil, steel, cement, agricultural products, beef, communications, etc. As long as there is an industry, there is no lack of trust monopoly enterprises, and places with business opportunities will never lack the dominance of the leader.

The most famous of these is the super-large oil trust company established by Rockefberg, that is, the New Jersey Mobil Oil Company; JP Morgan Federal Steel Trust (Federal Steel Company), which controls the production and sales of steel in the entire United States, also has an absolute advantage in railway operations. They are the two major super-trust monopoly organizations in the United States from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.

Mobil Oil Company was established in 1870 and has monopolized 90% of US oil production in 1900. In addition to the direct oil production department, Mobil Oil Company also owns 70,000 kilometers of oil pipelines, as well as many enterprises that have nothing to do with oil production, such as metallurgy, electrical, sugar production, etc. Founded in 1901, it controlled two-thirds of US steel production, and owned its own mines, railways and various other affiliated enterprises. Its mines alone hired 110,000 workers.

Both Mobil Oil and Federal Steel have their own banks, Mobil Oil's Chase Bank and Federal Steel's Citibank, both of which are among the nine major contemporary American banks. Through this relationship, these two trusts have controlled many companies with debt relations, including many shares of Yamei Group.

In addition, through various other relationships, they also controlled one-third of the entire national wealth of the United States. The combination of industrial capital and bank capital formed into financial capital, forming an important feature of the capitalist economic empire and becoming the pillar of the two-party system in the United States. However, their political struggles were never linked to the economy at the beginning of the 20th century, and cooperation between the two was still common. For example, before the preparations for the listing of Yamei Group, both families were very willing to cooperate with Yamei.

The Yamei Group, which is determined to return to China to drive China's industry and has a strong economy, is now only a few industries covering automobile manufacturing, machinery and equipment, engineering machinery, clothing, paint and chemicals, chemical glass, etc., and the only ones that are proud of are its clothing and automobiles. The rest are factories derived from the manufacturing of automobiles and mechanical products. Back to the poor and back in China, several heavy industries such as energy, steel, and oil are needed to meet the needs of building the automobile industry in China. All of this is relatively easy to implement in the United States, and a plan to cultivate pure application talents came into being. This plan is based on cooperation with the two major trust companies.

"Workers who have received certain training will be assigned to dozens of factories of Mobil Oil and Federal Steel as free workers. According to the agreement between us and the two major groups, we can send a total of 3,600 technical students to work and study."

"Did I hear this wrong? They are willing to send workers to learn steelmaking and mining and smelting oil. Either their heads are short-circuited, or you spend a lot of money and you will lose your life!" Zhang Yu knew the difficulties of returning to China to develop at this time. For foreigners who cannot recruit overseas Chinese students and cannot find them who are sincerely willing to contribute to the cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the ancient saying "If you are not my race, your heart will be different" has always reminded the two of them. This is why the technical school vigorously proposed and implemented the plan for cultivating talents for other people's groups.

"I promised them the conditions for exchanging shares, and we are responsible for the payment of the employees they sent during their work. In short, as a group destined to give up, I think the necessary sacrifice is definitely worth it, and they will not lose anything. Are you afraid that you, a few technicians who only know how to operate and maintain necessary equipment, will get rid of their commercial secrets? How could our group still dare to recruit outsiders?" Zhang Yusheng said, touching his forehead, which was already shiny because he thought about problems, and he said helplessly: "It is not a bad thing to exchange some shares with them. At this moment, their stocks only cost dozens of dollars to buy one. Do you know that before the financial crisis, their stocks could be sold for hundreds of yuan per share. In fact, we have made a profit!"

"Anyway, I feel like I'm losing money. We paid the salary, but we were working for them, making it seem like we were begging them. Moreover, our stocks might be higher before the financial crisis broke out!" After Zhang Yu said that, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He heard that his elder brother, who had been on business for several months, came back and put the security team in the training aside and rushed back anxiously, waiting for a definite conclusion on talents in all aspects. But he didn't expect that such a conclusion would be.

"Didn't you just tell you? The overall listing of the group is a certain plan. Mobil Oil and Federal Steel are just equivalent to purchasing part of it in advance, and our stocks are still exchanged with them. They are interested in our money-making automobile industry, and know that this is a stable profit and will naturally be willing to take out part of their own in exchange. And they also agreed to our additional request. Even if we suffer a little, isn't it just the wages of 3,600 people? Your brother is willing to spend this amount of money."

After saying that, Zhang Yusheng took out a stack of things from his file bag and handed them to Zhang Yu who was still wiping his sweat. "What's this?" The thick thing was pinched in his hand, and Zhang Yu felt that this thing was very difficult.

"Nothing. Some corporate information that can be acquired is all small factories and small businesses, and there is nothing good to look at. However, the stack of information tied with green ropes behind them are all graduates and professors from many outstanding universities in the United States. I plan to form various discipline laboratories belonging to the Yamei Group, instead of relying on you to plagiarize yourself as you do now. Moreover, the workers we sent are only pure application talents in the future, relying on industrial equipment and raw materials in reality. But the two trusts will definitely not let our technicians learn secrets, and some things still need to rely on themselves. For example, if you plagiarize a little more later, everything will be done?"

"Can you keep some verbal eloquence when you speak? Do you think I'm willing! You've read my marketing management textbooks and kept talking to me." Zhang Yu took out the thick stack of figures tied with a green rope, untied the tether and browsed the information of several people. He was either Harvard or MIT. Even if he was the worst, he was Caltech. He was really a talented person. If he used them one by one to form laboratories such as chemistry, materials, machinery, electronics, etc., the results would be a dozen.

"By the way, when will the batch of arms I asked you to prepare?" Zhang Yu looked at the information for a while, put them back in Zhang Yusheng's bag and said: "These people are all good. Don't let them slip away if you have the chance. Even if they don't get any results, they are still highly educated. It's better to have them than not."

"Make sure we can be prepared before we return to China. How is the security team training? They are the pillars of our military and the foundation for our start-up after we return to China. Don't laugh all day long. If you don't do it well, you will lose your head." Before leaving, Zhang Yusheng told Zhang Yu more than once that the military strength will be important after returning to China in the future. Of course, the premise is that you already have a certain industrial strength. Otherwise, if you return to China, just launch a military struggle without any national construction, everything is not equal to zero.

"No problem, everything is pretty good. I've been busy with shooting training recently. The morale and fighting spirit of the team members are very good, and there is nothing to worry about." Zhang Yu's requirements for those people are indeed too strict, but what surprised him was that the compatriots of the nation of this era have one common advantage, that is, they are particularly hard-working, obeying orders, and absolutely obeying orders. It makes Zhang Yu, who is also half a soldier in the future, feel ashamed of the steel thing. "You must hurry up on the matter of steel. It doesn't matter if you can't learn smelting technology. The key is to learn various basic operating techniques. We have time to transform and link technology in the future!"

"I know this, you don't have to worry about this." After Zhang Yusheng said that, he opened his notebook and outlined the completed things. After looking at the unfinished projects, he felt that the future was still long. However, with the establishment of steel, petrochemicals and other aspects, he only needed to buy enough equipment to move back to China in the future, so that he could almost produce commonly used steel and smelter fuel. Completed this is a relatively great achievement.

Steel can be said to be the most important basic industry in a country, the material basis for the development of other industries, and the guarantee of all development. Without steel, railways and water transportation with huge transportation capacity will lose the most important transportation power because they cannot produce trains, ships, and rails; without steel, high-rise buildings cannot be built to promote national employment, and water conservancy projects cannot be built to generate power and flood control; without steel, guns, cannons, warships, tanks, etc. cannot be built, and there cannot be strong military strength. In short, steel is equivalent to the hard bones that make up the body for a country and a nation. Without its support, any strong person will become a pile of soft meat at the slaughter of others.

China's backwardness began with the backwardness of the materials industry. When the materials industry of various countries had made great progress and began to use lightweight infantry cannons, rifles and ironclad ships, the Qing Dynasty was still using fire throne, red-clothed cannons, and wooden sailboats. When a large number of new factories were built, especially when steel mills were still imitating other people's ironclad ships, imperialist countries had already begun battleships known as steel fortresses. The gap between strength was not due to the weak morale of the army, but from the comparison of industrial strength before the war, who was the winner was established.

If the Chinese nation wants to turn over and become the master, it must work hard on industrial strength. This is why Zhang Yusheng takes advantage of the advantages of Yamei Group in the United States and vigorously carries out cooperation with other industrial groups. His next bigger plan is to acquire some small factories around the west coast of the United States, such as steel mills, cement plants, petrochemical plants, etc. The ready-made industrial equipment is the basis for rapid transportation back to China in the future, and the advance training of technical talents is also to prevent no talents from starting production after the establishment of the industry.

Regarding steel production, the scale of steel production equipment and enterprises has been developing towards large-scale development. The average daily iron production of blast furnaces in the British Empire in 1870 was only about 25 tons, but now, the blast furnaces of the United States federal steel can reach a daily output of nearly 200 tons. In terms of output, in 1875, the world's pig iron production was 14 million tons and steel production was 1.9 million tons. The industrialization process of capitalist countries is getting faster and faster, and their huge demand for steel has directly stimulated the rapid increase in steel smelting technology and output. Zhang Yusheng estimated that the world's pig iron and steel production is about 80 million tons and 70 million tons.

It can be said that the strength of imperialist countries is not unrelated to the strength of their basic industries. The strength of the steel industry can allow imperialist countries to pursue the Atlantic navigation competition of giant steel ships for a blue streamer award. The loss of a Titanic is just a major reflection of the strength of imperialist countries. It can lightly create tens of thousands of tons of new super-large luxury cruise ships to continue intercontinental navigation. If it were placed at this time, relying on that pitiful industrial strength, it would be unimaginable.

"I'll go back when it's okay. Today's training has only reached the second event." After that, Zhang Yu picked up the teacup and drank it in one breath. He hurriedly put down the teacup and ran downstairs. There was a team member waiting for him there. "Okay, we can rest!" Zhang Yu hurried back to the stadium and immediately issued an order. After arranging the military posture training, Zhang Yu went to meet with his elder brother. As a result, he forgot about the matter. When he came back, he found that 150 people were still standing there like benchmarks. Zhang Yu quickly gave an order to rest.

The arrival of the order was like lifting the rope tightened around his neck. Many people immediately went down like a breathless airbag. "It's over, it's so much fun." After muttering this, Zhang Yu looked at the group of quasi-militaries who were seriously released with pigeons. In order to make up for his mistake, he asked the team members to rest for ten more minutes on their usual basis.

"I was not here just now, why didn't I stop and rest by myself!" Zhang Yu, like everyone, sat down on the grass and asked in confusion the team members who were slowly kneading his thighs and other parts of his muscles according to Professor Zhang Yu and his friends who had been relaxing their muscles a long time ago.

"Sir, didn't you say we are already soldiers? The night before yesterday, did you say that soldiers should obey orders and absolutely obey orders as the priority? If we take a break while you are not here, will we still be soldiers?" The thin-skinned monkey must be in the top row for the reason of her figure, but this makes it easier for Zhang Yu to observe him at all times during training, and he dare not be lazy and he has also talked with Zhang Yu at this moment.

"Don't flatter you, I'm asking you seriously!" Zhang Yu confessed to them not long ago about his plans with his elder brother, because he felt that there was no need to hide anything from others, and there was no need to hide from future assistants. Zhang Yusheng and the other two agreed that if there was anything, they would definitely let the participants know. Just like the students in the technical school, after entering the school, they would be told about the detailed purpose and plan of Zhang Yusheng and others. If they were willing to stay, they could stay. But if they were unwilling, they would definitely not need to go back to China to live a difficult life in the future. "Tell me honestly, I will make you think that this is not fun!" Zhang Yu asked the last time, but it was a bit threatening question.

Now, many people around him who formed a circle with Zhang Yu as the center began to remain silent. This silence lasted for nearly five minutes, and finally someone spoke. Zhang Yusheng knew at a glance that he was a talented man in the security team, and Lin Xuewen was also! He was not a "zero knowledge". He was a talented man in the new school of the Westernization Movement. Lin Xuewen, who had a close relationship with many trained team members, could represent everyone's opinions to a large extent.

"Just just now, the sir asked us why we didn't let everyone take a collective laziness while you were away? Then I need to ask the sir, why are you not lazy? The chairman and you have created such a big foundation, and even if it is placed in the United States, it is no less than those big companies. But why can you devote your life to the rise of the nation until you die? But we are also men who are also men who are in charge, so why can't we contribute our own strength?"

The rifle that Lin Xuewen held in his arms was wiped quite cleanly, and there was no damage to the appearance due to multiple shootings. Zhang Yu also admired his marksman the most and was very interesting to cultivate him and cultivate this rare talent who likes military. If it weren't for this, he would probably have been the foreman in the factory, or even the more outstanding his abilities could be the management class in the group. However, this beloved disciple gave his master eye drops as soon as he came up, which made Zhang Yu feel a little embarrassed.

"Lin Zexu, who was dispelling cigarettes in Humen, and Deng Shichang, who bravely hit the enemy ships, are also part of the nation. Although they don't know much about modern scientific knowledge, they have done what they can in their positions, that is, to contribute everything for the dignity of the nation and the sovereignty of the country."

After Lin Xuewen finished speaking, he looked around and saw that either slaughtered pigs or cut down trees or carried out coolies. Then he said, "Maybe we cannot have such and such rich knowledge like you, like the chairman, like other senior leaders of the group, but we have the strength, will and ambitions, and are all orphans, and are abandoned by the motherland. Why can't we do what we can do? Perhaps we can only obey orders and obey orders regardless of everything, that's all!!"

"If we want us to build cars and machines to lay the foundation for our future career, it is probably better to give us one gun. In this way, we can see that when you are tired, we can feel at ease and feel that we can indeed enjoy certain treatment, because we are already soldiers, and when the war comes, we will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and sacrifice our lives for the country. Soldiers must obey orders and obey superiors. Not to mention that we have to stand in military posture and train the military posture and will, we will not say a word even if we return to China immediately to participate in various struggles..."

"Okay!!!" Lin Xuewen's random speech was praised by the team members, and they all applauded, which made Zhang Yu, who was still sitting on the ground, suddenly felt as if he had done something wrong.

"List~~~Zheng!!" The order was quickly sent from Zhang Yu's mouth. He could not find a reason to refute him, so he had to end the biggest "dispute failure" in his life, which made him feel extremely comfortable in his heart.

"Comrades!! I, Zhang Yu, are here today, here tens of thousands of kilometers away from the motherland, thank you for our great family of disasters and difficulties!!" After saying that, Zhang Yu directly saluted everyone the most standard military salute. The feeling of stroking the sun with the middle finger was so different from before. The 150 soldiers standing on the training ground also used a standard military salute, with their upright posture under the sunset, and their backs made the elders look stronger.

Soldiers doubt peace in their hearts, and the army always believes in war!!
