In the first three months of 1917, there was a rebellion between the capitalist class and the capitalist class in Russia. They overthrew the autocratic rule of Russia and Russia entered a new era. However, the war between the Bolsheviks and the domestic capitalist class did not end there. A complicated situation of two political authorities appeared in Russia. However, this extremely strange phenomenon did not affect Russia's participation in World War I!
Pingxiang's development was under Zhang Xueze's leadership, and it quickly entered the right track. With the two main products of stockings and military uniforms, it truly gave Zhang Xueze the initial start-up funds. For this, Zhang Xueze even used the name of the American commercial company to register two cargo ships in Yingkou. Every half a month, they would ship the new stockings to the M Nation on the other side of the ocean!!
On the other hand, there were more and more types of factories in Pingxiang. Grain seed factories, fertilizer and pesticide factories, cement factories, steel bars factories, and even cigarette factories. One after another, they towered into the sky!
The rebuilt Ping Xiang Center was designed with two buildings. The first was a commercial building, which was mainly responsible for the operation of the Zhang Hanze Group. The second was a military and political building, which was used to coordinate the development of Ping Xiang. It was also Zhang Xueze's office.
The road at the entrance had also been renovated and had been greatly improved. It was a spacious and bright new main road of Ping Xiang. Some wealthy businessmen also bought shops on this street. They bought all kinds of industrial products from the factories under the Hanze Group to carry out commercial trade. No one would have thought that Ping Xiang would develop to such a state!
Carriages came and went one after another. Compared to the industrial products of the foreign powers, the industrial products under the Hanze Group were not at a disadvantage. Therefore, the trade volume of the Hanze Group had increased rapidly in the past few months!
Orders from Ji Province, Heilong Province, Fengtian Province, and even orders from outside the customs came to Pingxiang in an endless stream, allowing the Hanze Group to absorb a large number of workers. It was no exaggeration to say that the industries under the Hanze Group now occupied half of Pingxiang!
The development of the National Defense Infantry Regiment and the training of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions made them more and more powerful. The 3rd Battalion, in particular, had gone from new recruits to qualified soldiers after three months of military training. At least in Zhang Xueze's eyes, these soldiers were enough to shoulder some responsibilities!!
As for the new rifles, they had a monthly production of 600 rifles and 200,000 rounds of ammunition. At the same time, the Sea Sand Mountain Munitions Factory had also developed the northeast version of the Maxim heavy machine gun, which was suitable for the cold environment of the northeast, as well as the 45mm mortar. As the 20,000-ton steel factory in Ping Xiang had not been successfully established, most of the steel used for military use was purchased from the M Nation. The huge foreign exchange reserves obtained from the stockings allowed Zhang Xueze to buy a large number of industrial machines. When the wealthy Americans heard that they were going to China, they did not say anything and waved their hands. What tricks could that backward agricultural country come up with?
As Zhang Xueze's contact person, Stefanson, a mechanic from the other side of the ocean, was Zhang Zuolin's exclusive mechanic. In Fengtian City, only a handful of people owned a small car. Even Zhang Xueze did not have one. However, Zhang Zuolin had a Citroen sedan. Because of the poor road conditions in the country, cars often had problems, so Zhang Zuolin directly hired a full-time mechanic!
"Stefanson, why do you hate the M Nation so much?”
In Zhang Xueze's office, the tall, blond, blue-eyed Stefanson revealed an extremely disgusted expression at the mention of the M Nation. The damned M Nation only knew how to write the word USD. It was a country without human feelings!
As for the naive American dream, it was even more nonsense. The evil capitalists would only exploit the value of their workers, and the real profits were all earned by the capitalists. At first, Stefanson was a worker in a car repair factory. However, because of the damn company's merger, his boss sold the car repair factory for one million US dollars, including the complete set of repair equipment. The hundreds of workers in the factory were also unemployed. They didn't know anything before they were sold, so Stefanson lost his job. It was the summer of 1914. From then on, he had the idea of leaving the M Nation. The capitalists of the M Nation tried everything to deprive the workers of their surplus value!
From Boston, he wandered all the way, relying on his own savings to live a life of not having enough to eat. New York, Cairo, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Golden State, and finally to Los Angeles. As a businessman, in October 1916, he came to Yingkou, Liao Province. Coincidentally, he became Zhang Zuolin's mechanic!!
"Respected Boss, the stockings shipped from Ping Xiang last month earned us nearly 100,000 USD in reserves. However, according to your instructions, they were all exchanged for industrial machines of equivalent value, especially seamless steel pipes and high-quality steel, as well as some parts used for steel-making. Basically, the 100,000 USD last month was spent again.”
Steffenson spread his hands, expressing his helplessness. At first, he didn't expect that a thin layer of stockings could actually earn such a huge profit. Those women seemed to have gone crazy. The entire Los Angeles would go crazy as soon as they heard the word stockings. The goods sent from Pingxiang to Los Angeles were out of stock!
He registered a foreign trade company in the M Nation, and the person who registered the company was only a person who existed in the documents. He had social identity information, a phone number, a home address, and even tax documents from when he was young, but they only existed in the documents!
Stefanson was currently the executive officer, responsible for contacting buyers and some powerful merchants in the M Nation. After all, Stefanson had the identity of an American, although he was more inclined to his boss now!
"Buy as many industrial machines as you can. As long as they are helpful to the development of Pingxiang, we are poor now. When we build an industrial zone equivalent to the US, we don't need to buy any more!!”
Steffenson looked at his boss, Zhang Zuolin's son, in surprise. This young man's ideas had always been unconstrained. Looking around, it seemed that no warlord was willing to develop industry and do such a thankless thing. Who knew that Zhang Xueze's ambition was not only limited to the northeast!!
