It was not until noon that Song Biao briefly bid farewell to these old subordinates of the 7th Siberian Infantry Regiment and hurriedly took the carriage of the Far East to the Far East West building located in the "Nicolayev Square".

The Far East Overseas Business Building was originally the headquarters invested and built by the Russian Fuchang Foreign Business. It is a typical Russian Orthodox style with red bricks and red roofs and three floors. During this period, it was bought by the Japanese Mitsui Foreign Business, and was finally forcibly bought by Song Biao at an extremely low price.

War is always the world's largest profit.

In just one year, Song Biao became the richest man in China in a special sense. In this small harbor town, he cleverly seized more than half of the docks and 1/3 of the land, and all this made his Far East become the most powerful company in the Far East overnight.

Walking out of the military camp and back to this bustling place of shops, when Song Biao walked down from the carriage, he looked at the Far East Shop building in front of him, and sighed a little strangely.

He could not even imagine that he, who was just an ordinary sentry a year ago, would be today.

The land price in Dalian is very low, and it is considered to be domineering to be able to account for 30%. With time, I wonder how much huge profits he will make in this small harbor town?

Mijunov had been waiting outside the door for a whole morning with his foreign company staff, and his legs were sore that they finally waited until their chairman arrived.

Mijunov was previously a senior student in Harbin at the China-Russia Daosheng Bank. He was short and fat, with an exaggerated mustache and wearing a bloated suit. He couldn't wait to welcome Song Biao into the building.

Song Biao looked outside the carriage for a moment and sighed in his heart that the world was unpredictable. Then he walked into the building of the Far East Tour with Rongxingqiao, Shu Fangde and Mijunov, accompanied by Grand Champions of Rongxingqiao.

In the past month, Mikunov and Rong Xingqiao have worked diligently to recruit many new employees. According to Song Biao's requirements, they are preparing to engage in the long-term operation of five industries: international trade, real estate, sea transportation, coal and iron development and finance.

Most of the new employees are Russians. Rong Xingqiao also found several classmates who had studied in the United States to help, and hired some Chinese employees from foreign companies in Tianjin.

Song Biao didn't care much about who they had hired. For him, these employees were very far away from him and he didn't have time to ask about them.

After entering the office of the senior class, when Song Biao sat down, Rong Xingqiao couldn't wait to take out a batch of accounting statements for him to take a look. Although Song Biao appointed Mijunov as the senior class of the Far East Coast, he entrusted all rights to Rong Xingqiao and Shu Fangde's brother Shu Fangxin in terms of financial power.

Rong Xingqiao is a comprador of the Russian SF Express. He is from Xiangshan County, Guangdong Province and one of the young children who studied in the United States with Zhan Tianyou and others. He entered the Far East after being introduced by Mikunov. Shu Fangxin graduated from St. John's University in Shanghai and studied in the UK with his brother Shu Fangren. He started studying medicine, but later changed to law. After returning to China, he worked as a comprador at the Youli Bank.

Although Far East has not officially operated its business yet, it has only purchased a large amount of land and docks in Dalian, it has a huge coal and iron franchise controlled in its hands. Perhaps in a few years, it will become the real number one business and dominate the Far East.

Song Biao first asked these three main persons to sit down and check the accounts slowly by himself. After reading them roughly, he felt that there was nothing worth caring about. He said to Mijunov and Rong Xingqiao: "I came here mainly to see the business conditions of the business. There is no business at present. I can only say it is the construction situation. After all, all the businesses have not officially started. I don't understand business matters, so you still have to grasp the specific decisions and various matters by yourself. I am just here to discuss with you this time. I really want to start the business of Northeast soybeans. You cooperate with Yufengxing, and they will bear it.

We are responsible for purchasing and growing soybeans, and you are responsible for selling them to other countries. In addition, you should also help Yufengchang open a good seed company, which is specifically responsible for cultivating good seeds of spring soybeans suitable for the local conditions of the three northeastern provinces. This business is also crucial to the entire northeastern region. I hope to get involved as early as possible and do it as well as possible. In addition, the development of coal and iron resources in the three northeastern provinces, and this work must also be accelerated in the near future, especially Fushun Coal Mine, which is an open-pit large coal mine with little investment and high returns. I find a way to do it first, and then use the income of Fushun Coal Mine to continue to develop in a snowball manner."

Mijunov said: "I just contacted Daosheng Bank recently and planned to use our huge coal and iron franchise as collateral to borrow money from the bank to run the Fushun Coal Mine. Although we have good financial reserves, it would be even better if we can use the bank to borrow."

Song Biao did not object and said, "This matter can be done, but don't rush for a while. Wait for a while. When the situation in the three northeastern provinces completely stabilize, please check the coal and iron resources in Fushun, Benxi and Anshan areas, and then take out the franchise as collateral."

Mijunov said: "Okay, I will definitely borrow as much as possible. In fact, with your reputation and reputation, this is a huge mortgage asset in itself, and no bank will worry about your repayment ability."

Song Biao nodded slightly and looked at Rong Xingqiao.

Rong Xingqiao then said: "Northeast soybeans are usually listed in October. There are many wastelands in southern Liaoning. I can only go to Huinan, Changchun and Harbin to purchase them. I sent someone to Changchun to ask about the market. Although soybeans last year were sold for good prices due to export, the money actually fell into the hands of farmers. In the past two years, rice prices have risen, and there are still more farmers growing grain. This year, the winter wheat in Huguang has achieved a bumper harvest, and the grain prices are not high. I have already started to buy grain from there, transport it to the local area by water, and then sold to Fengtian by railway. It is expected that there will be 30% or 40% of the high profits. However, there are high prices in front of me, and where can the refugees who flee everywhere have the money to buy grain?"

Song Biao said: "This matter will be left to Yufeng Store. I asked them to lend it to the tenants first by borrowing grain, and I can repay my soybeans at the price next year. First, buy more grain from Zhili and Huguang, even if you buy grain from the United States. First, solve the problem of Fengtian's grain shortage, stabilize the livelihood of the villagers, so that we can do a good job in soybean business later. Don't rush to make money, and you have to fish for big fish in business. The villagers in the three eastern provinces are so poor that they are all starving. They will starve to death. Even if we import more kerosene and foreign cloth from abroad, we cannot sell it."

Rong Xingqiao praised: "The boss is really amazing."

Song Biao was actually not a high opinion of his opinion. He mainly considered that if he became the governor of the three northeastern provinces, the first problem he had to face was to restore the livelihoods of the three northeastern provinces. In the past, he hoped that the food price would be higher, the higher the better, but now he hoped that the food price would stabilize quickly. If it was only 30% higher than in previous years, the price of a tumble of rice would basically allow the villagers of Fengtian and the Liaodong Peninsula to stabilize.

Thanks to the Japanese, he has sufficient capital. There is no need to make profits from food.

The price of grain in Fengtian is high. If it is high, there is basically no food in the local area. Large areas of land have been abandoned for two years. Rice merchants and wealthy gentry in various places have no food in their hands, and the people have no money to buy food. The only way is to transfer large amounts of grain from other places. They can distribute it to the people on a large scale by writing IOUs.

Although Song Biao controlled more than 40,000 fertile land in the mainland through Yufengxing, the land area of ​​400 square kilometers is equivalent to the area of ​​an agricultural county, and is the number one big landlord in the entire northeast, the three northeastern provinces are still vast and sparsely populated, which is completely different from the situation inside the pass. Most farmers in the three northeastern provinces have their own land, and less than 60 tangs of land can only be regarded as small landlords. Even if they sell the land in Fengtian and flee to Jilin, Heilongjiang can reclaim new wasteland.

As long as you can borrow a batch of grain to settle for the people, next year, the three northeastern provinces will have a bumper harvest year, and there will be enough surplus grain for every year.

Song Biao is very confident about this.

If he really becomes the governor of the three northeastern provinces, he promises to build a well-off society in the three northeastern provinces in advance and every household can live a prosperous life. He will first establish a new policy world in the three northeastern provinces. Here we open the first step in China's modernization, industrialization, urbanization and large-scale agricultural production.

Song Biao did not have much detailed plans for his Far East trip. He came here today just to listen to more about Mijunov and Rong Xingqiao's ideas, especially for Rong Xingqiao. Song Biao has had high expectations since the first day he hired him.

After the three of them explained the future development of the business and expressed their own ideas, Song Biao felt that he was still working and not too bastard.

After a roughly an hour of conversation, Song Biao asked Mijunov and Shu Fangxin to go out for work first, and left Mr. Rong Xingqiao alone, and invited Rong Xingqiao to have a cup of tea. Then he asked: "Mr. Rong, you should have known many classmates and friends during your study in the United States. Now I don't know where they are. Can you invite more people to come for me? You may also hear that I may become the governor of the three northeastern provinces now. I have no special expectations for this. Being the governor of the three northeastern provinces may not be a good thing, and not doing it may not be a bad thing, but there are things in the world, what if it is really done? So, I still have to prepare for both ways and want to find a few suitable people to help me handle the chores in government affairs and officialdom in advance."

Rong Xingqiao smiled with interest: "Beiyang University's presidents are all my classmates when I was studying in the United States. For example, Liang Dunyan used to play baseball with us. Thinking about the past, it has been thirty years in a flash. Liang Dunyan and Tang Shaoyi are now capable aides around Yuan Shikai, the governor of Zhili. I believe that there will be more time to stand out in the future, and some classmates do not have the right place to use their skills. I will write to them to see if they are willing to come."

When Song Biao heard another interesting thing, he said to Rong Xingqiao: "It just so happened that I plan to send Jiang Yanxing to the Zhili Governor's Office to meet Lord Yuan. Since you and Tang Shaoyi and the others have some friendship, you might as well go there together."

Rong Xingqiao nodded cautiously and asked again: "I just don't know what the boss is going to talk about when sending Mr. Jiang to Zhili Yamen?"

Song Biao said: "The Russians want me to be the governor of the three northeastern provinces, but they think I really want to do it. The conditions for the two negotiations with me were very harsh. They wanted me to sell my country to support me as the governor of the three northeastern provinces. Although they said it very tactfully and tried not to offend me, the meaning was still the same. I hope that Lord Yuan would convey my meaning to the court. If he could be the governor of the three northeastern provinces, it would always be a good thing. At least tens of thousands of brothers under my command had a settlement and a livelihood. But I don't have to make a deal with the Russians in order to be the governor of the three northeastern provinces, I would fight Japan for the Russians. That's because I want to fight Japan, and it's not that I want to help the Russians. The Russians misunderstood my original intention, it's their own business and it has nothing to do with me. Maybe one day, I will fight the Russians again."

The reason why Song Biao dared to say so much to Rong Xingqiao is because he already knew that Rong Xingqiao and Sun Yixian had a deep connection. Rong Xingqiao and Wu Luzhen, members of revolutionary parties, also had many contacts. When the two met for the first time, Rong Xingqiao had talked with Song Biao about some revolutionary tendencies. Song Biao did not respond positively at the time, but also said, "If you want to change the destiny of China, it may not be as simple as you think. You should talk less and do more at the moment."

Rong Xingqiao couldn't explain clearly what Song Biao thought, but Rong Xingqiao could feel that Song Biao looked down on the Qing court and basically did not take Manchu seriously. Song Biao hated braids and never left braids. He always had a military style with round and short hair. Rong Xingqiao roughly knew these things.

Listening to Song Biao's words, Rong Xingqiao nodded silently and replied to Song Biao: "I understand everything after hearing what my boss said. Then I will go to Zhili with Major Jiang. If I have the opportunity to meet Lord Yuan, I will convey your meaning to Lord Yuan."

Song Biao nodded and called Jiang Yanxing in, discussing some details with Rong Xingqiao, so as not to be inconsistent with the two of them. In addition to communicating with Yuan Shikai, Song Biao was very concerned about recruiting the group of children studying abroad in his early years through Rong Xingqiao. He hoped that Rong Xingqiao would take this matter faster and be sure to recruit some suitable people.

After talking for a while, Rong Xingqiao thought of a very special person and said to Song Biao: "When we were emphasized by the court, some classmates did not return to China, and even stayed in the United States to live. Shen Deyao, Ouyang Geng, Rong Kui and others are like this. Shen Deyao is the most special among them. Shen Deyao was originally studying mining and was admitted to Yale University. After graduation, he worked in an iron ore factory in the United States. Later, he started his own business and had frequent contacts with me. He handled the kerosene business of Mobil Foreign Company in the past few years and also ran an iron ore farm. A few months ago, he also wrote to me, saying that he wanted to go back to China to set up an iron plant and wanted to ask us old classmates to introduce some relationship to him."

When Song Biao heard this, he became interested and asked, "Did he have any experience in running an iron factory before?"

Rong Xingqiao said: "It is said that it was done, but soon he sold his iron plant. He focused on running the iron mine. He hired many Chinese workers and was a person who was proficient in this business. It is said that he made a lot of money. In fact, he wanted to return to the country to run an iron plant and wanted to contribute some strength to the national industry. However, he himself was not sure, and mining was his own business."

Song Biao thought for a moment and said, "You can write him a letter or send him a telegram. We have the right to operate coal and iron ore, and we can join forces with him to operate, or come to be partners."

Rong Xingqiao said: "Okay, I'll send him a telegram and invite him back to China to see the situation first."

Song Biao nodded.

Rong Xingqiao, Shen Deyao, Tang Shaoyi and other people are currently celebrities from all walks of life during the transition from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and are also the first group of people in China to truly open their eyes to the world. Now they are generally over forty years old and under fifty years old, which is the best stage in their experience and ability.

If Song Biao became the governor of the three northeastern provinces, these people would be able to help Song Biao support the framework of the entire Northeastern New Deal and implement new political reforms in the three northeastern provinces. The facts will eventually prove that it is definitely the stupidest choice for the Russians to support him as the governor of the three northeastern provinces. If the Russians think he is a pro-Russian faction, it would be too wishful thinking.

After dealing with Japan in advance, Song Biao's second target was the Qing Dynasty, and the third target was Russia...!~!
