Chapter Thirty-Nine
In order to eliminate the possibility of the Eastern people doing things, all uncertainties were strangled in the cradle. Through Lin Sha's introduction, Wang Jin colluded with a British building materials businessman to China and became a traitor. With the strong assistance and help of the British Wuhu Consulate, Lin Sha was responsible for Wang Jin's behind the scenes in the front desk. The two sides hit it off and reached a share transfer agreement. The terms basically copied the conditions proposed by the Eastern Japanese, but they had only made some modifications and were not subject to the age limit.
After receiving the news, the joint work of the East China-Japan was furious. The senior management of their company rushed to Wuhu Steel Plant to question it. But at this point, they had to complain verbally, and they did not dare to show any disrespectful expression in front of the British.
With the promotion of many aspects, British businessman Henry obtained 55% of the shares of Wuhu Steel Plant, which constituted the largest shareholder of the two steel plants. After recovering most of the investment funds, Wang Jin quickly withdrew from the steel industry, and only controlled two mines to supply raw materials for the steel plant. He naturally did not intend to give up such a long-term transaction. What's more, the mine is also a good place for the military to hide among the people, right?
With a large amount of free funds on hand, Wang Jin, who suffered a loss in the industry, was not willing to accept it. He couldn't afford to play heavy industry, so we just played light industry. So he took the money to enter the textile industry at an astonishing speed, using his official relationship and Lin Sha's American background to open the way, and Cao Bao naturally moved his position.
There are fourteen textile factories of different sizes in Anhui Province, several of which are not small in size, and they are all following the trend during the Westernization Movement. However, the enterprises supervised by the government have a good ending, and there are no convenient conditions for monopoly. The management is basically a group of fat guys who have suffered heavy losses since the start of construction.
It is a huge burden for the Anhui government, which is already short of financial situation. However, as the face of the court, these factories cannot be closed down and bankrupt. It is imperative to reorganize assets, which laid the groundwork for Wang Jin, the collusion between officials and businessmen and embezzlement of state-owned assets.
Although he is now a wanted criminal in the government, everyone in the Anhui officialdom is afraid of it. Of course, this is just an offensive. Don’t forget that he still has the largest smuggling channel in Anhui except for the Qing Gang. He was killed in Anqing. He is still in Hefei, and now he is still following Zhu Jiabao and has many people who have interests and secret contact with him. As long as he does not make any excessive demands, everything is easy to say!
Through a series of black box operations, Junshui Textile Co., Ltd., the largest official-business joint textile factory in Chaohu, Anhui Province, was born. Wang Jin also made a big deal and sold two nearby textile factories in one go. When the new factory opened and operated, most senior government officials in the temporary provincial capital Hefei were invited to support him. Wang Jin had to give face, and it was not worth offending such a ruthless person for such a small matter. Moreover, the front desk owner of Junshui Textile Co., Ltd. is Lin Sha, a senior employee of Jardine Mall with an American background. He has a good relationship with condoms, right?
The textile mills before were property of the imperial court, and their good or bad had nothing to do with them. They would not feel sorry for the heavy losses. Anyway, the loss was not their money. But the situation is different now. Wang Jin secretly gave them a lot of shares in the textile mills. In addition, the current textile mills are definitely Xiangyang industries. How can they not look like babies?
They took "dry shares". The benefits of the factory were directly linked to their dividends at the end of the year. Not to mention attending the groundbreaking ceremony, it would be fine if they were asked to use their power for personal gain. Previously, the textile factory suffered serious losses under the control of the government, and they were clear about what problems happened. Now seeing General Manager Cao Bao, who was in charge of the daily work of the textile factory and the factory's production plan, they all weighed the matter in their hearts, and there was a lot of potential for profit as long as there was no special situation.
In order to make their pockets more fulfilled, they took the initiative to help open up all joints of the Anhui government and try to create a good external environment for the textile factory. At least they cannot let the bastards below ruin their money!
Under so many favorable circumstances, Cao Bao used his talent in business and management, not only managed the Junshui Textile Factory in a tight order, but also used the convenient conditions and private relationship network provided by officials to quickly expand the business of the textile factory. The business was booming, and there were endless carriages coming to the factory to pick up goods every day...
In this major asset restructuring in Anhui's officials and business circles, Wang Jin embezzled nearly 200,000 state-owned assets, which was a huge success. Not only that, he also mobilized a large number of manpower and funds through relations, and opened chain inns among county-level towns based on goods, officially extending his tentacles to various parts of Anhui to wait for future needs.
He was busy for more than a month, and although he had a little heart, he kept banquets almost every day, drinking one and another like he was on the stage. But he was in a particularly good mood these days, so good that he had forgotten that he was still a "revolutionary" and had not completed his noble "ideals" and his mind was fascinated by alcohol.
Fortunately, after the work was done, he slowly woke up and realized that he had a lot of things to be busy with. He had a good talk with Cao Bao in Chaohu and exchanged with him about the future development direction and strategies of the textile factory. At the same time, he proposed that the security department would be handled by Xin Guangfu Association. He would not intervene in the process, so as not to reveal flaws and cause unnecessary trouble. If you have any problems, contact Lin Sha in Shanghai or the secret stronghold he had taken him to before, and naturally someone would come forward to help him solve everything.
At this time, very bad news came from Anqing. In view of the delay in the Anhui rebellion, the Qing court sent reinforcements commanded by the Beiyang general Wang Shizhen as the commander of Yuan Shikai to attack Anhui from Hubei. At present, several stronghold cities outside Anqing have fallen under the fierce offensive of the Qing army. The Tongcheng Revolutionary Army was even more shameful to "submit" under the inducement of the Qing army. The revolutionary army suffered heavy losses in succession.
Wang Jin sighed lightly and felt a little heavy. Although he knew that the failure of the Revolutionary Army was inevitable, he was still heavy and hard to say. No matter how much he said that the Anqing Revolutionary Army has its current momentum and his hard work, he would be depressed when he saw that his hard work was ruined so much.
