Chapter 139 Intentional Movement
There are also large merchants who can support one of their warlords alone with their private financial resources, but no merchant will ever do this because it is unrealistic.
The end result of supporting a warlord was that the merchant was squeezed out and could not get any benefits. The reason was very simple. The social customs for thousands of years have caused the profession of merchants to be rejected in their hearts from the supreme ruler to the lowest-level people. Even now, when the national bourgeoisie has risen in large numbers, this situation has not been greatly improved.
One more important reason is that these merchants do not have their own industrial technology, especially heavy industry technology. Merchants who can produce arms by themselves will not be defeated by warlords. Tianyu Group is such a commercial organization.
But Mo Rongxin did not have such an understanding or gaze, and his ideas were still stuck in the past era.
So when Zhou Feihuo said that he would fully support the Guangxi regime to reorganize the army, Mo Rongxin was first shocked, and then had a strange thought. He brows slightly: "Behind you is the Japanese? Soviet Russia? Or the British? A businessman wants to support a warlord. Do you think I don't know what's going on?"
The tone was full of badness. Mo Rongxin seemed to be shocked and doubted Zhou Feihuo's true identity, and even believed that he was helping the Japanese. Although Mo Rongxin was not a good person, he never did treason. In his eyes, people like Zhou Feihuo were troublemakers with ill-gotten intentions and provoked trouble everywhere.
Feeling the strangeness in the other party's expression, Zhou Feihuo also understood that his identity caused the other party's misunderstanding, so he had to explain with a wry smile: "Governor Mo seems to be a misunderstanding. I am indeed not the real master, but my boss is undoubtedly a Chinese." He stood up, took out a polished metal business card from the pocket on the inside of the suit, and handed it to Mo Rongxin.
He was alert on his wrinkled face, but he still took the movie handed over by Zhou Feihuo and asked suspiciously: "Tianyu Group, are you Chen Ze's people?" After seeing the content on the business card, Mo Rongxin was obviously very surprised this time, and even the originally low volume increased a lot.
The name of Tianyu Group has been circulating in southern China, especially in some business comprador circles, and there have been news from related parties. There must be people who disdain, and the majority of doubters are, but there are also a few businessmen who have worked with them, and they are amazed at the products and technologies of Tianyu Group.
Opening factories and developing industries are the things that Chinese businessmen are most passionate about in recent decades. Due to technological backwardness and the spiritual deficit brought about by cultural slavery over the years, the Chinese business community has begun to fully yearn for the Western business operation model. However, under the hundreds of years of ideological inertia and the distortion of deformed social structures, many businessmen are on the wrong path.
In order to quickly complete the original accumulation of capital, the merchants who opened factories could only choose light industry with faster turnover, and various compradors made foreign mechanical products monopolize the Chinese market. This has been the case for decades, and all merchants could only accept this cruel reality helplessly. Not many people have focused on the accumulation of heavy industry and basic technology.
Suddenly, a Chinese company that can compete with foreign production machinery products in production technology appeared, which naturally attracted the attention of many people and attracted more disdain and doubt. Heavy industry is not an industry that can be achieved in a bunch. It must take dozens or hundreds of years of accumulation, otherwise China would not have to become what it is today.
So they think that Chen Ze is sensational, and there is nothing like this at all.
Others may not know and doubt the achievements of Tianyu Group, but Mo Rongxin knew it. When Chen Ze and Liu Haoran first entered the upper class, Mo Rongxin had also heard of it. However, the status gap between the two sides was quite large at that time, and Mo Rongxin, as the governor of Guangdong, naturally didn't care much about these two little people.
Now, he has long been well accustomed to Chen Ze and Liu Haoran. Although the news is blocked relatively close, no one knows the current situation of these two people like Mo Rongxin?
As a businessman, Chen Ze jointly opened the Shijing Arsenal with Chen Jiongming's provincial government, which had long been spread throughout the south. Among them, in the two major battles of the Guangdong army's counterattack on Guangdong and "assisting" Guangxi, Mo Rongxin suffered a lot from these weapons.
Among them, Enfield rifle and grenade launcher are the most important. Longzhou natural barrier was shot down like this. Heavy machine gun positions are difficult to exert normal power in the face of such curved weapons. Later, the Gui army also obtained some samples, but Mo Rongxin also learned from the craftsmen who accompanied the army that the processing technology of this weapon was not something he could do.
Liu Haoran even extended Sun Yixian's trust and provided a large number of high-quality arms for the Northern Expedition Army.
In fact, after watching the card, Mo Rongxin's rescue was already a little moved. At first, he was worried that it was the Japanese who were making trouble, but the other party was Chen Ze's person, so he was relieved. If the other party could support Chen Jiongming, he would definitely support himself. As for some requirements, this was acceptable.
There is no need to treason the country. Anyway, everyone is Chinese, which is psychologically reasonable. Besides, being a residence here is actually a helpless act. If there is a choice, Mo Rongxin will not be willing to continue to be silent.
From the other party's swaying expression, Zhou Feihuo had already judged that the veteran was beginning to be moved, so he decided to strike while the iron was hot: "Sir, what my boss asked for is a stable and harmonious Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as the right to exploit some mineral resources and the right to trade daily necessities. For this reason, we can also pay taxes according to the rules in a reasonable range, which must be acceptable."
"This is something that can be negotiated, but I wonder how you are willing to support me in return to the province? After all, Li Zongren has already started his own team in Beiliu. Although I am his old boss, I am afraid it is not appropriate to intervene at this time."
Mo Rongxin's concerns are not unreasonable. The warlords care about their own team very much. Compared with the actual interests of superiors and subordinates, the relationship between superiors and subordinates is insignificant. On the surface, even if they respect Mo Rongxin, the old coach, Li Zongren would never agree to let the other party seize control of his team. This is a matter of principle.
"The supervisor does not need to worry. The responsibility of Li Zongren's troops is to maintain the public security issues on the borders of Guangdong and Guangxi provinces, and the supervisor is the main leader responsible for forming the Guangxi provincial government army. But we also have a small request, and I hope you can agree."
The small North River raised nearly 20,000 regular troops, with sufficient food and fine weapons, and used them to maintain public order. Mo Rongxin didn't believe it. He had enough troops to fight to Guangzhou, so why should he maintain border security? The real purpose was to the small request mentioned by Zhou Feihuo. Mo Rongxin's mind was changing, waiting for the other party's following.
Seeing that he was listening carefully, Zhou Feihuo did not keep it a secret, but said bluntly: "Our request is very simple. We are willing to fully fund the restructuring of the Gui Army of the Gui Army, but we also require that this army must be a new-style army, dedicated to defending the people of Guangdong and Guangxi. We can no longer separatist the land and become a warlord like before."
Mo Rongxin could also hear the firmness of his words. Although he was unhappy, he did not interrupt Zhou Feihuo's words, but continued to sit quietly and wait for him to finish his words.
"The Supervisor can recruit troops in his own name, and we are responsible for supporting them, but also requires all employees to go to the Nansha Military Academy for training and standby. The Supervisor has only command authority and cannot take this army as its own. In exchange, our company promises to let you sit in the first seat in Guangxi."
"Hmph, without the army, where can I sit in different places?" After hearing Zhou Feihuo's words, Mo Rongxin's first thought was that he was fooled.
This is not to support myself. It is simply a backdoor listing. Of course, Mo Rongxin, who doesn't understand stocks, does not understand this word, but the meaning is similar. Then he recruits people in the name of the old coach Gui Jun, and then puts himself aside as a vase, which is very scheming.
He threw down his wide sleeves vigorously, and his weathered old face was full of anger, obviously stimulated by Zhou Feihuo's words. With his glaring eyes, all the evil spirits that had been covered up burst out, which reminded people of the old man who was also a cruel man who was like a murderer back then.
But Zhou Feihuo was still fearless, calmly facing the angry Mo Rongxin, and talked happily: "Old coach, to say something disrespectful, can you completely control the newly built Guangxi army at your age of seventy or unknown number? Don't you think about your family? Should you fight for the vague power, or should you steadily enjoy the glory and wealth? The safety and glory of several generations are comparable to your ambition?"
What is most touching is never sweet talk, but real interests.
Mo Rongxin is already old, and may have ambitions, but the old man is an old man. When he is old, he begins to consider the continuation of his family. Compared to one person's pleasure, Mo Rongxin, like many Chinese elders, cares more about the life of his descendants.
I want to fight for the army, isn’t it just that I want to be at ease? But Mo Rongxin was still worried. He calmed down and then solemnly asked about this matter: “What you said is, how to achieve it, I will listen to it.”
"Mr. Governor, my boss intends to establish a suitable system in Guangdong and Guangxi first. As for the distribution of interests, it is also a sharing model. As long as you can agree with these requirements, Mr. Governor will be a lifelong honorary professor at the Nansha Military Academy, and the group will also place you a family-born industry in Guangxi. With your prestige in Guizhou and do not hold great power, who would be willing to harm you in the world?"
Before coming, Zhou Feihuofu had been fully assigned by the Guwen Association, and he also conducted drills on possible situations in advance. He studied and analyzed Mo Rongxin's personality and mentality from the collected information. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Feihuo took the initiative in this negotiation.
Under the intentional guidance of Tianyu Group, Mo Rongxin also officially planned to accept these conditions. As an apartment in this place, it seems to be leisure, but in fact it is just a superficial scenery. Life requires money, and enjoyment requires money, but he has no sufficient financial resources at home, and his life has begun to become quite difficult.
The temper he had made before was just a person of his past personality and habits. After all, he has been the top leader for so many years, but now he cannot control the army under his name, which makes him very uncomfortable and very unhappy. As a warlord, he has no soldiers in his hands, but he can't even sleep well.
However, the generous conditions given by Tianyu Group really touched him. The contract details taken out by Zhou Feihuo from the file bag made Mo Rongxin feel satisfied.
First of all, although Mo Rongxin does not have the right to unite the army, he is the highest-ranking officer of the Gui army and enjoys extremely high honor and status. Secondly, Tianyu Group promises to establish a commercial institution in Guangxi, where the Mo family holds a large number of shares. Dividends alone can make him rich for generations.
Although his power is not as prominent as before, his interests are real. He has lived to the age of 70, and Mo Rongxin also knows that he has not had a few years. Instead of fighting for the unrealistic military power, it is better to leave some blessings for future generations...
