After listening to what Zhao Zhenzhong said and thinking about the history he knew, Zhou Tian and Zhou Hao couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Hao remembered something and asked, "By the way, Lao Zhao, will our industries in Nanyang also be handed over to the Zhigong Party for operation by the end of 2016?"

"No, the industries here are managed by Huamei Company from the United States." Zhao Zhenzhong shook his head and said, "Our technical backbone in these industries will also withdraw from the country by the end of 36 years. Other Chinese workers who have not withdrawn from the country entered the rebuilt Lanfang Republic in batches before the outbreak of the Pacific War. At the same time, all industries must be sold after they are listed in the United States."

Seeing that Zhou Hao was a little confused about why the treatment of industries in Nanyang was different from those in Australia, Zhao Zhenzhong explained: "In history, except for some northern regions in Australia, other places were not affected much during World War II. Leaving Australian industries to the Zhigong Party will not bring danger to them, nor will it attract the attention of other parties because of the Huamei Company. However, the relationship between the great powers in Nanyang is much more complicated than that in Australia. If you hand over these industries to the Zhigong Party, you will definitely attract the attention of people. Besides, when these industries break out, these industries will definitely be the focus of attention of the Japanese army. If you hand over them to the Zhigong Party, it will bring disaster to them, causing the Zhigong Party and the Lanfang Republic to be attacked by the Japanese army."

"In addition, with these large industries related to strategic resources, the Japanese army will definitely garrison heavy troops after they are occupied in the future. The beastly behavior of the Japanese army will cause a lot of losses to the local people, and to a certain extent, it can also clear out some anti-China forces. This will help the Lanfang Republic to gain a foothold and develop in the Nanyang area in the future. Of course, for the rubber plantation on Borneo, we should remind the Zhigong Party to build it on a base opened in the tropical rainforest to avoid coveting the Japanese army."

Seeing Zhou Hao nodding and relieved, Zhao Zhenzhong continued: "Although we cannot hand over Nanyang's industries to the Zhigong Party, we can cultivate some industrial workers and technical backbones for it so that it can better develop related industries after the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"Old Zhao, do you think the Zhigong Party can withstand the test of the Japanese?" Zhou Hao was a little worried.

"That depends on their ability." Zhao Zhenzhong said thinking, "We can help them more in terms of materials and funds, and we can also give some suggestions on the integration of their organization. As for the result, it depends entirely on their ability. However, when I met Mr. Situ a few times ago, I heard him mention discussing the rectification of the Zhigong Party with Chen Qiyou. I believe that Chen Jiongming should have a result after he arrives in the United States in a few days."

After a pause, Zhao Zhenzhong said again: "With our support in materials and funds, and training technicians for it, plus nearly 10 million Chinese in Nanyang, if the Zhigong Party still cannot stand the test, we can only wait for the future."

Zhou Hao was stunned: "Are there so many Chinese in Southeast Asia?"

"There should be about 78 million now. In the next few years, we and the Chi DPP will remove some domestic victims to the South China Sea. When the Pacific War breaks out, there are not many Chinese people." Zhao Zhenzhong explained, "When the Pacific War breaks out, as long as the Chi DPP is well organized, at least the vast majority of Chinese people in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java and southern Philippines can move into the territory of the Lanfang Republic. These Chinese are the basis for their establishment."

"Okay, these are basically the situations regarding the development and utilization of overseas resources. Do you have anything to add?" After introducing the relevant situation, Zhao Zhenzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think these can be used as our direction for the next few years," said Zhou Tian. "As for various details, we have to wait to address specific issues in the future. In addition, with the high-power radio station produced by Xiaohao, we can communicate in time."

Zhou Hao nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the two had no different opinions, Zhao Zhenzhong said, "Okay, let's do it for now. When Courtman and the others come, I will discuss with them the issues related to starting various companies."

Courtman, Jack and White arrived at the manor on the evening of the 26th. Each of them was so cold that their noses were red.

"Zhao, why is your manor so warm?" Jack, who said goodbye to fat, has significantly reduced his ability to keep warm. He trembled as soon as he entered the door, "Zhao, can you find some food for us? The three of us are so hungry from the morning to now. Because we passed by some windy and snowy areas on the road, the damn train was not much faster than the carriage."

"Haha, don't worry, gentlemen." Zhao Zhenzhong smiled, "Wait for a while, we will eat shabu tonight, so keep it safe. As for why this room is so warm, I used electric heating."

"Oh, shabu-shabu? It's best to eat this in the cold winter. I like it." Courtman, who had been in China for a few years, smiled happily, "The last time I sham was more than 3 years ago. When I was in Qingdao, I missed the deliciousness."

"Shabu shabu? Delicious?" Jack, who was by nature interested in various delicacies, heard the words "delicious", swallowed his saliva and muttered.

"Yes, delicious! We can have a full meal tonight," Courtman smiled.

After the hot pot was brought up, Courtman was having a lot of fun eating, while Jack and White were sweating. Seeing the chopsticks in Courtman's hands flexibly flying and stuffing the slices of flaky meat into their mouths from time to time. Jack swallowed his saliva while stuffing the slices of chunks into his mouth with a clumsy spoon, and muttered: "Damn it, I must learn those two small wooden sticks that have been magically imposed. This is a must for tasting Chinese delicacies." Although White was not as good as Courtman Lisso in his use of chopsticks, he could see that he had put in some effort.

After eating a meal of shabu-shabu, everyone had a lot of fun. Jack touched his belly and praised: "Zhao, in this cold winter, you have Chinese delicacies here and this electric heating here, it's better for you."

"Haha, Mr. Jack, if you like this place, you might as well come here often. Even if I return to China, my brothers here will be here to entertain you with Chinese delicacies." Zhao Zhenzhong said with a smile.

Thinking of having a good meal often, Jack widened his eyes and asked, "Zhao, is this true?" But before Zhao Zhenzhong could answer, Jack remembered what he was doing, sighed, and said, "It's a pity that White and I will go to Australia after the New Year."

"Haha, since Jack mentioned going to Australia after the New Year, I will tell you my opinions on this aspect." Zhao Zhenzhong laughed, "Last time I heard the relationships between the three gentlemen here, I wanted to try my best to let the three men use their best abilities and create the greatest wealth for themselves. I remember that Jack and White knew the Australian Jazz, and the two were familiar with the situation of overseas trade. Of course, Jack and the United States have a very familiar relationship with the military industry. Mr. Courtman has a good relationship with important figures in the Philippines and is also familiar with oil exploration and development. Based on these situations, I want to make different arrangements for the three gentlemen."

"Since the 150,000 tons of special steel ordered by Mr. Jack will not be fully arrived by the end of January next year, and Jack has a very good relationship with the military industry, and someone needs to take care of the artillery factory, I want Mr. Jack to stay in the United States to handle related affairs; after Mr. White went to Australia to negotiate with the Jazz about starting a company, he could stay in Australia with the personnel sent by Huamei Company to preside over the company's affairs; Mr. Coutman went to the Philippines to negotiate about the company's establishment. After the matter was over, he would also work with Huamei Oil Company to conduct oil exploration and development on Sumatra."

"As for the remuneration issues that the three gentlemen are concerned about, I and Huamei Company negotiated and determined this distribution method: Mr. Coutman owns 5% of the shares of the metal smelting company, rubber plantation company, and Sumatra Petroleum Company in the Philippines; Mr. White owns 5% of the shares of the steel smelting company, shipbuilding company, mining exploration and mining company in the Australia; although Mr. Jack will stay in the United States, he will receive the same reward as Mr. White because he will also provide services to companies in the Australia."

When the three of them heard that they owned shares in several companies, they were all happy. When Jack heard that he could stay in the United States, he cheered: "Oh, Zhao, you are so good. I don't have to go to Australia." But then he remembered what Zhao Zhenzhong said just now, and asked again: "But, what services do I want to provide to the companies in Australia?"

"Jack, we want to build our own steel factory. If we can produce all kinds of special steel by ourselves, we will make a lot of money in the future. You are familiar with people in the United States, and see if you can find some engineers who master special steel smelting technology or special steel processes and formulas? These are all things that we can use when we produce in our own factories." Zhao Zhenzhong explained, "Of course, if there are excellent designers or engineers in the shipbuilding industry, we also welcome them. You must know that we not only need to build factories in Australia, but Huamei will also acquire a shipbuilding factory in New York."

"Technical information and technicians...well, many factories are closed now, and technicians are unemployed, so there should be little problem with personnel and information." Jack calculated, "However, if we want to obtain detailed information, we may have to pay a little."

Zhao Zhenzhong waved his hand and said, "As long as the information is real and reliable and the engineering personnel are skilled, the remuneration is not a problem."

"Zhao, are all companies in Australia rebuilt? What are the requirements?" White asked.

After thinking about it, Zhao Zhenzhong said: "In order to reduce the resistance our company may encounter in the local area, we can acquire a factory in steel and metallurgy, shipbuilding, mining exploration and mining in Australia, but at the same time we must build a new similar factory with advanced technology and equipment. In addition, we must also strive for Australia to agree to the entry of Chinese workers. Of course, each batch of Chinese workers will not work in Australia for more than 3 years. As for the company's address, the steel smelting and shipyard will be near Adelaide, South Australia, and the mining exploration and mining company is located near Darwin, the Northern Territory. In other words, we must obtain the mineral exploration and development rights in South Australia and the Northern Territory."

Looking at Huaiyi's head, Zhao Zhenzhong added: "A detailed explanation about starting a company in Australia and the Philippines. I will give it to the three gentlemen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. In addition, there will be personnel sent by Huamei Company in Australia and the Philippines. Mr. Courtman and White can negotiate with them to handle the relevant matters. If it is really difficult to decide, you can call Huamei Company headquarters in the United States. Of course, you can also directly find Zhou Hao or Zhou Tian."

"Zhao, can't you find me?" White asked.

Zhao Zhenzhong explained: "White, you know that China is often in chaos now, so it may be difficult to communicate if it contacts me. As for Australia, the Huamei headquarters is obviously more familiar than me."

"Zhao, then when will you go back to China?" Courtman asked.

"I guess it should be a few days after the New Year," Zhao Zhenzhong said. "In two days, the transport ships leased by Huamei Company will arrive at Boston Port to ship those production lines. The three gentlemen can go back together and wait until after the New Year before going to Australia and the Philippines."
