During the period when the Revolutionary Army occupied Anqing and the New Restoration Association withdrew from Anqing, Wang Jin used his resources and connections, but he had created a lot of "sunrise industries" in major cities in Anhui. This time he went out, one was to set up a direct contact point in Shanghai and gain a foothold, and the other was to "inspection" and deal with the industries he had obtained while Anhui was messed up.

By the way, Zhu Jiabao did a few "good things" after coming to Anhui. The "drug prevention" he boasted in the Anhui Times is one. I don't know what he thought. When he was in Anqing, he was unstable inside and outside, so he let go of his hands and feet to carry out a vigorous "drug prevention" work across the province. Even now he has arrived in Hefei, he still does not forget to persevere to the end!

But things went against my wishes. Many opium dealers with no backstage were indeed defeated, but the opium smuggling industry across the province was thriving abnormally. The large area of ​​tobacco fields in the province changed to grow grain, causing Indian goods from other provinces to be flocked into the province, squeezing a lot of markets within the province. For this reason, the local tyrants in the province have caused a lot of trouble.

Wang Jin, who has mastered the Yangtze River Waterway in Anhui, owns a modified steamship and the full support of the Shandong Gang. How could he give up the opportunity to make great gains? As of now, smuggling and selling of 'platinum' is the biggest source of income for him. As for the industry, although there are some sporadic things, it is impossible to have too much development and huge profits in a short period of time.

Previously, he used Xu Lizhen's relationship to Lin Sha, a friend and ally of Shanghai Jardine Co., Ltd., to take over two "badly managed" steel plants in Wuhu. At present, in China's steel, cotton and its related industrial theories are the most profitable business besides opium. From the relevant official information we have viewed, China imports steel from abroad every year and has a specification of at least 70 million taels of silver.

With such a big piece of cake, even if he now has huge profits of "platinum" in hand, he couldn't help but covet. Therefore, without any investigation and evidence collection, he couldn't wait to plunge into the steel field, which was to take a look at the broad money here and wanted to get a share. Anyway, foreigners make a profit, so it's better to give him a part of the share...

But unexpectedly, he, who had always been used to being smooth sailing, suffered a small fall this time, which made him realize that the business world in China in the late Qing Dynasty was not so easy to mess around.

Before he could make a fortune, he found a very serious problem - "sales". After all, strategic industries like the steel industry, without the full support of local princes and the movement of capital relations, it would be useless even if you have money, because the main force selling steel is the court and the governors of the real power!

There were also British friends who were friendly and suppressing prices. In addition, he was not a heavy industry industry, and there was no help from this industry. After the steel plant started construction, it was difficult, and external sales almost came to a halt. If it weren't for the development of the valley town and Huoshan County, it would be necessary to have a lot of steel that could be digested internally, I was afraid that some of the money for selling 'platinum' would be lost here. What made him even more angry was that it didn't matter to the senior management that even if he shouted the slogan of 'supporting domestic products', it would be useless. The court still spent a lot of money to buy goods from abroad, and didn't even want to leave a bite of soup for him!

Wang Jin said he was very hurt and hated these so-called imperial tyrants who were "invested by enemies" to the extreme.

In order to reverse this unfavorable situation, Wang Jin made some evil ways and used some special "technical means". Lin Sha came forward to obtain the mining rights of Fanchang iron ore and coal mines. This time he made an empiricist mistake and used the iron ore price that was so violent that he had been in trouble before his journey and the rising coal prices. How could he not eat turtles?

Sure enough, after taking over these two mines, he was depressed to find that not only did he not make money, but even more people were paid, but the sales of the steel mills were still a problem. The steel mills in his hand were losing more and more. In just less than three months, he felt overwhelmed. Looking at the white ocean water thrown into the steel mills and two mines, he felt heartbroken...

What made him even more troubled was that he was really not good at operating heavy industry and could not be forced to do it. The advanced management experience of later generations may not necessarily play a role in resurrection here. The key is that he lacks talents in this area. Moreover, he also has to deal with the affairs of the New Restoration Association, so how can he have the ability to take charge of command at all times?

He needs someone to help him take care of business affairs. This person is better still a comrade in the party, but he cannot be a comrade who has exposed his identity early. But after all, there are many comrades in the New Restoration Association, and most of them have received a long time of education and have a certain cultural foundation. However, there are almost no comrades who know economic management and deal with businessmen and are familiar with shopping malls. Wu Fengfan, who has not been in contact for a long time, is a good public relations manager. Unfortunately, his identity has been exposed...

In fact, he has the most suitable candidate, Lin Sha, who is not in charge of doing things at Jardine Mahjong, Shanghai. But Lin Sha has his own work to do, and the identity of Jardine Mahjong employees cannot be lost. This is a good protective umbrella. In addition, the two of them secretly invested and established the Pacific Trade Bank, which has a shell of an American company, is currently under the secret management of him, responsible for helping to purchase some urgently needed industrial goods and machines, as well as "platinum" foreign trade export matters, which cannot tolerate any mistakes and cannot be separated from Shanghai. Besides, without the cover of the concession, he may not be able to withstand the corrupt officials in the mainland who eat people and don't spit bones!

For this, Wang Jin was so anxious that he had gray hair on his head, but he couldn't think of any good idea. He had to let his steel mills and two mines start half of the work, so as not to let the boilers cool down. He hurried to Shanghai with his people. In his opinion, China's largest business talents can be found here at present, and it may be possible to find something unexpected when trying his luck. At the same time, we must also have a good talk about the Pacific Trade Bank and the British Navy Colonel's smuggling of "platinum". Because he had decided to increase the shipment of "platinum" in order to make up for the losses in the steel mills and mines, as well as the huge consumption of the construction of the New Refuge Society's foundation!

But what he didn't expect was that after Lin Sha received their group, he heard about his current troubles. He laughed indifferently: "It's just a trivial matter, what's the difficulty..."
