The first thousand one hundred and thirty chapters
After arriving in Beijing, Huang Zhonghan became even more surprised. Beijing is worthy of being the capital of China. The 20-meter-high city walls stand tall, the newly built asphalt roads are lined up, the public trees on the roadside and a public toilet every two kilometers are bound to be a public toilet, which eliminates the trouble of urban citizens' urination and defecation. Every one or two hundred meters, there is a patrol patrol, which also makes Beijing's public security unprecedentedly good. Outside the city, four or five-story residential buildings designed by German designers who come to China to work continue to build a replacement of Chinese-style courtyard buildings, making Beijing look particularly modern. Many old Beijingers or people who come to Beijing have moved into this German-style residential building, which also makes Beijing appear in two different styles, the Chinese-style courtyard house and the German Balotel style fresh and bright.
This is a special city, both modern and classical, and Chinese style and purely Westernized. From the perspective of Beijing's architecture at this time, it can specifically reflect the characteristics of the Chinese people, tolerate and digest. No matter any special extreme civilization enters China, it will eventually become a part of Chinese culture - swallowing it.
Yes, what makes the world most terrifying and shocking is that Chinese civilization has a big enough appetite to integrate other things into civilization and then become a part of its own civilization.
After Huang Zhonghan visited Beijing, he told Gu Weijun that his father-in-law Huang Zhonghan wanted to do business in China and found him, and expressed his intention to develop his business into the motherland.
However, Gu Weijun is a politician but not a businessman. His wife is responsible for the family's expenses. Now he doesn't know what his father-in-law means. Seeing that Gu Weijun did not understand his meaning, Huang Zhonghan directly expressed his hope that he could invest in China. In China, investment must be backed by a tough government backing. Although Gu Weijun has a high position and is limited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has nothing to do with other fields. Therefore, Huang Zhonghan said that he hopes Gu Weijun will introduce himself to Wang Maoru, and he also represents the Huang family in Nanyang as a family representative to attend the family meeting in advance.
When Wang Maoru saw Huang Zhonghan himself, he felt particularly funny. Because this person was too fat, in addition to his father-in-law Huang Zhonghan, he also had his wife Huang Huilan. This is a charming girl with both the charm of an oriental woman and the style of Western style. No wonder Gu Weijun fell in love with her. However, comparing the women of Huang Zhonghan and Huang Huilan together makes people feel ridiculous. This woman doesn’t look like his daughter at all. If you say she picked it up, everyone else believes it.
Huang Zhonghan is worthy of being the king of sugar. He is typically the case with too much candy and he is so fat that he may have to charge one more person when riding an airship.
The fat Huang Zhonghan respectfully bowed to Wang Maoru with fists and bowed to him. Nowadays, many people advocate Western etiquette, but he abides by the ancient Chinese etiquette. Wang Maoru felt a little surprised. Wang Maoru was not good at standing, so he returned the ceremony according to the ancient etiquette. The two sides bowed to each other, and Gu Weijun and Huang Huilan were stunned. What were these two people doing?
Huang Zhonghan said happily: "I am honored to meet the Marshal Shangwu."
Wang Maoru said: "Sit down."
After several people sat down, Huang Zhonghan then expressed his thoughts. He hoped to establish a transportation company on Hainan Island and control the Nanyang route. Wang Maoru thought about it but did not give a reply, saying that he would think about it himself. Huang Zhonghan then took out a gift, a promissory note from the Bank of the Netherlands, the amount was as high as one million US dollars.
Bribery to me? You're so full, Wang Maoru took the bank note but sneered.
There must be a huge secret behind this incident of falling from the sky. It seems that Gu Weijun should still be in the dark. Looking at Huang Huilan's surprised eyes, she also didn't know that Huang Zhonghan would spend such a great price to bribe Wang Maoru.
Wang Maoru sighed and sent the bank notice back, saying, "I think I didn't see anything, you think nothing happened, I think this matter is a bit of a matter. Now at the critical moment of my campaign for president, I don't want anything wrong."
After hearing this, Huang Zhonghan understood and quickly put it aside, saying sorry, "It's me that's abrupt, it's me that's abrupt, it's me that's abrupt, it's abrupt, it's abrupt, it's abrupt. I'll be punished and left after I'm waiting. Please don't be angry, Marshal Shangwu."
Several people walked to the door, and the butler Wang Peng called Gu Weijun again and asked him to come back. Gu Weijun was confused and said, "What's going on before and after this? Why am I becoming more and more confused?"
Wang Maoru sneered: "It's obvious that your father-in-law wants to monopolize the South China Sea shipping business."
"Ah? Monopoly?" Gu Weijun said in surprise, "Don't he want to develop it?"
"Shaochuan, you specialize in international relations and diplomacy, but not in business." Wang Maoru smiled, "I bought one million dollars not protection, but support. But I will not accept bribes, because I have more wealth than him, so why do I need this small amount of money? Moreover, this person seems to have treacherous eyes, and when he looks at me, he dare not look directly. I concluded that there must be something wrong behind it."
Gu Weijun said: "Xiaolan and her father haven't met for a long time. This is also just a short time ago. It is said that because my father-in-law likes his son and doesn't like his daughter, and Xiaolan's mother gave birth to two daughters, the mother and daughter were excluded from the side of the family, so they went to Europe and the United States. Why, Xiusheng, do you think there is any problem?" Wang Maoru frowned and did not answer. Gu Weijun was stunned. Could it be that his new father-in-law really have a problem?
Wang Maoru thought for a while and said, "As far as I know, Huang Zhonghan is very unusual. It is not as simple as a businessman on the surface. He has been in Java for ten years and became the sugar king. Do you think your new father-in-law can achieve it by just using business methods?"
"This..." Gu Weijun became slightly embarrassed.
Wang Maoru saw Gu Weijun's face showing a hint of embarrassment, sighed and continued: "I can't say that there is anything behind the scenes he has now. Moreover, Nanyang Transportation is also a key development area in the future. It is absolutely impossible to control it in the hands of people outside my control. We need to have a comprehensive understanding of Huang Zhonghan. Shaochuan, don't mind if I say that. After all, international affairs and children's affair cannot be confused."
Gu Weijun nodded and said, "Xiusheng, I will wake up."
Wang Maoru said again: "Anyway, try not to have any interests with him. I will continue to send someone to check what your new father-in-law is. The Huang family has always had a good relationship with us, but this time it seems to have a different taste."
"Okay, I hope Xiaolan is fine." Gu Weijun said.
After the two of them talked romance for a while, Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Shaochuan, over the years, many officials have come to me, do you know what it means?"
"Just seek an official." Gu Weijun smiled.
"Why don't you come and ask?" Wang Maoru asked.
Gu Weijun smiled and said, "I don't have to ask for it. Xiusheng, you will never kick me away with one kick, right?"
Wang Maoru laughed and sighed: "I am also struggling with something now."
"What are you worried about?" Gu Weijun thought for a while and said, "There are too many personnel arrangements."
Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "The personnel arrangements do not need to be considered. I need to use people, first, look at character and ability. No matter how good the relationship is, he has poor character and poor ability, he is not good."
Gu Weijun smiled and said, "I heard that our brother-in-law Cen Deguang asked you for an official request, but you rejected it, right?"
Wang Maoru said, "This person is not familiar with him." Gu Weijun laughed loudly, and Wang Maoru suddenly asked, "Shaochuan, do you have the confidence to serve as the Prime Minister?"
"Prime Minister?" Gu Weijun was surprised and couldn't speak for a long time.
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Or let's change the term, Secretary of State."
Secretary of State?
Gu Weijun hurriedly asked, "Presidential republic?" In an instant, Gu Weijun immediately understood what Wang Maoru meant in his post. He wanted to end the quarrels in the system and stabilize the national system. Also, the Prime Minister and the Presidential system have been quarreling for more than ten years, and so far there has not been a reputation. As soon as Wang Maoru's noun as Secretary of State came out, Gu Weijun immediately thought of the American presidential republic. Gu Weijun was surprised while his face was excited and red, and his voice was trembling, "Xiusheng, I... am a little nervous."
Wang Maoru couldn't help but be happy and said, "You think you can't do it?"
"No." Gu Weijun said, "You can do it, and you will definitely do it better."
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "That's all."
"It's just that I'm a little younger." Gu Weijun considered that neither of them was forty years old, so it can be said that if Wang Maoru nominated him as prime minister, this government would have become much "younger".
Wang Maoru said solemnly: "Shaochuan, don't belittle yourself. When you were in the League of Nations and in Paris, you were talking about hundreds of political leaders from all over the country. Why did you become so distorted?"
Gu Weijun said: "Since Xiusheng believes in me, Shaochuan is disrespectful."
Wang Maoru said: "Okay, since that's the case, let's discuss the candidates for the twelve ministers and second-rank officials."
Gu Weijun naturally knew the importance of the matter, so he dared not watch it at this time. He still had to say politely to refuse.
His prime minister was just a deputy to Wang Maoru, so he said goodbye to Wang Maoru and visited Tang Shaoyi. Tang Shaoyi understood what it meant when he saw Gu Weijun. He had already been optimistic about Gu Weijun, and because he liked Gu Weijun, he introduced the five daughter Tang Baoyue to him who was not famous back then. Since Wang Maoru decided that Gu Weijun would take over his rank, Tang Shaoyi would of course focus on it, grabbed Gu Weijun's hand and said, "Shaochuan, what should you pay attention to when you take office this time."
Seeing his serious expression, Gu Weijun said, "Father-in-law, what are you doing?"
Tang Shaoyi said: "Wang Maoru, your brother-in-law Wang Maoru."
"What?" Gu Weijun said in surprise.
