Chapter 49 Special Zone (3)

It is said that it is overseas support, but it is actually domestic support. Yang Yi's determination to build the special zone remains unchanged. The ministers in the court have opposers, but more of them are still waiting and watching. After all, Yang holds great power. Seeing that the persuasion is ineffective, some ministers remembered Zeng Guofan, who was far away in Europe, and he attacked Prussia with a telegram. Zeng Guofan was visiting Prussia enterprises on behalf of the delegation/. Although Prussia is now considered a strong, it can only be considered a small power. Now he is trying to challenge Austria and France. After Bismarck came to power, he governed the country with an iron fist, and developed his arms in the country wildly, and foreign countries also need the support of allies.

At this time, China came to the door, of course it was welcome. Although China is still behind now, it defeated the invasion of Britain, France and Russia. It won beautifully. After a battle, the three countries of Britain, France and Russia suffered losses, but they also had to pay money. Today, China already looks like a world military power. The alliance with China is in line with the interests of the Prussian Empire. It is said that the machine guns and mortars produced by China are indeed easy to use. The two sides have started to cooperate in arms trading, and now they have also moved towards diversified cooperation. It is not an exaggeration to say that Prussia is China's closest partner in Europe.

Zeng Guofan's trip to Europe shocked him greatly. The rapid economic development of Europeans made this famous official who was "Restoring the Tongzhi Zhongji" in history sighed and his understanding of Yang Yi deepened a lot. Many things have gone from the past to the lack of understanding, and disapproval and support. How did those people in China know about Zeng Guofan's changes? They originally expected Zeng Guofan to oppose Yang Yi, but who knew that Yang Yi said angrily after reading the telegram: "A group of stupid calves." He immediately called back, representing a delegation to express his support for Yang Yi.

The telegram returned to China and was partially cited by the China Times the next day and commented. "I look at the current situation of the country and look at the progress of the West. If China does not change, the opium disaster will be repeated in twenty years." The China Times quoted the above text and wrote the editor-in-chief Wang Tao, and published a comment titled "Why do I change". The full text comprehensively compares the gap between the gaps in the world and the world, and lists one example after another. Wang Tao's sharp and bright pen tips wrote a comment in a bunch of flowers and blood. As the earliest and largest newspaper in China, the China Times had such great influence at that time. At that time, if you want to understand the current situation in China, please read the China Times to understand the world, please read the China Times to only say.

Under the leadership of Wang Tao, the China Times became the mouthpiece of Yang Yi's transformation and the base for new ideas.

With Zeng Guofan's support, the domestic opposition has become much smaller. Although there are often people who beat their chests and stamp their feet, it is a big problem. Yang Yi expressed his attitude and decided to stay in Shanghai often to supervise the implementation of the Shanghai Special Administrative Region policies.

Regarding the various reforms in the SAR, the one that is most opposed is the liberation of women. Women need to have standards, and women are difficult to do. If they don’t have liberation, they can’t stand it. If they are too liberated, they will rebel. If they are too liberated, they will liberate women like China in the 21st century. Not to mention that the current masters do not agree, even Yang Yi himself will not agree. Therefore, we must grasp a standard issue. Yang Yi also took a lot of thought when formulating the Regulations on Female Liberation. After thinking for a long time, Yang Yi finally came up with a few things: Women have the right to receive education and women have the autonomy of marriage.

The right of women has the right to work. To be honest, Yang Yi didn’t know how much they could be fulfilled after these terms were made. After all, this was an era when women were extremely underground. The above few were considered the initial liberation of women, right? However, if you want to go to those women who were too liberated in the 21st century, Yang Yi felt a little cold in his heart. Just like last night, Shen Qingshuang smiled and said, “Master, if you want to liberate women, that means we can also divorce you?” Yang Yi said in his heart: ‘Damn, you will be liberated to yourself so soon.”

In September 1862, with the strong support of Yang Yi, Shanghai was officially launched as the first special zone, and Yang Yi decided to let Ma Quan take over as the first highest executive of the Shanghai special zone.

With Shanghai as the center of the circle, the surrounding Qingpu and Jiading counties were merged into the Shanghai Special Zone. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the reform of the Special Zone, Yang Yi not only granted a large amount of infrastructure funds, but also personally came forward to clear the obstacles of the various yamen.

The Shen family relied on Shen Qingshuang's rumors and heard the news. Just when others were still watching, the Shen family had already started to buy land and build factories in Shanghai. To put it bluntly, the Shen family took the lead in supporting the construction of the special zone. With the Shen family, business people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also followed. Shanghai's industry and commerce were already developed, and now it has attracted capital inflows from other places. In December, the Prussian Overseas Trade Corporation was the first to land in Shanghai (in fact, it was Hoffman's classmate's bag company. Now he has made a fortune by reselling cosmetics.

International trade has started. It has become the first European company to invest in Shanghai. Just after New Year's Day, Smith joined forces with the Jewish Foundation to enter Shanghai and invest and establish enterprises. Just after the Spring Festival in 1862, the British East India Company could not stand it anymore. Seeing that the transactions were all done by others, it was okay, so it also plunged into Shanghai. However, this time it was not opium, but British industrial products. The British products in Shanghai were tax-free, but if you want to find Shanghai, you still have to pay taxes. After all, China's national industry is still very backward now, and what should be protected must be protected.

In December 1862, the Guangzhou Special Zone was officially launched. In March 1863, Xiamen, Ningbo, Hangzhou and Suzhou successively announced that it had become the Special Zone.

The winter in Shanghai is gentle and moist. Walking on the streets that are no longer familiar, Yang Yiduo sighed. The signboard of the "Liren" cosmetics store looks a bit old. Thinking of the first time to arrive in Shanghai, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile. Now this "Liren" group is still an industry under Yang, but Yang Yi has long stopped inquiring about the business of "Liren" group. Yang Yi still has to ask Shen Qingshuang to find out. Some time ago, it seems that Shen Qingshuang mentioned the "Liren" group to Yang Yi, and it seems that several branches have been added, such as cigarette factories, printing and dyeing factories, etc. The Shen sisters are indeed good at doing business. If Yang Yi knew that there are eighteen factories under his name and more than 200 stores across the country, he would not know what he would think.

Since the opening of this special zone, Ma Quan, the new chief, is indeed capable and handles everything in an orderly manner. The first condition for Ma Quan to be the chief of this special zone is to let Yang Yi transfer a group of students returning overseas to cooperate with his work. Yang Yi agreed. With the cooperation of these people, Ma Quan can be said to be easy to do things. Yang Yi, the chief designer of the special zone, has become the most leisurely person. December is coming, and Yang Yi has been in Shanghai for a long time. Zhang Jian from Beijing has sent at least 100 telegrams to urge Yang Yi to go back. Yang Yi also feels that it is time to go back.

The two women are now busy packing their things at home to prepare for the road. Yang Yi was bored and took Zhao Ziping with him and sneaked out to stroll.

The store's signature is still the same, but the store has been expanded and renovated. It is much larger than before. The buyers come in and out of the store, which seems particularly lively. Yang Yi stood at the door of the store, remembering the past, and it seemed that he was biting the pen in the store to settle the score again. I remember the scene of Huo Xiaoyu and the other three sisters standing at the door on the first day of opening, as if it was yesterday.

Thinking of the past, Yang Yi couldn't help but step into the store. The guard at the door came up and reached out to stop Yang Yi and Zhao Ziping and said, "Two masters, you can't go in."

Yang Yi was stunned when he heard this. What did you say? He was still so irritating to his own store? Zhao Ziping, who was behind him, saw Yang Yi frowning slightly, and went up to him and said angrily: "You guy, why can't we go in? Can't we go in and buy things?" Zhao Ziping was angry, and the guard at the door immediately nodded and smiled and explained: "Master, I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, look at this sign." As he said, he pointed to a wooden sign beside the door. The wooden sign world had four big words written in "Men stop." Yang Yi couldn't help but smile, really shot himself in the foot. This trick was originally thought of, mainly to facilitate women to come here to buy sexy underwear, and to use this as a gimmick, which attracted many women to visit. It seems that he would not want to go in today.

"Damn, what's the rule? Which guy ordered it? He opened a store and did not let someone enter. I have to go in. What's wrong with you if you have to go in?" Zhao Ziping didn't take this trick. As long as Yang Yi wanted to go in, he wouldn't care about that much.

When Yang Yi heard this, he was amused. Seeing Zhao Ziping's attitude, he didn't know that the store was opened by himself. He quickly advised Zhao Ziping: "Forget it, the rules set by others are not good because of us." He said this on his lips. In fact, he thought to himself that he couldn't let Zhao Ziping smash his store, right?

When Zhao Ziping saw Yang Yi say something, he gave up. Then the two turned around and heard the guard laugh at the other guard in Shanghai dialect and said, "Two rural guys, I have never seen the market." Yang Yiyi became angry when he heard this, and walked to the talking guard and said, "You can go to the account to check out now, and you don't need to go to work."

The guard opened his mouth and smiled as if he was listening to a fantasy: "Master, you are not funny at all." Although he was quite polite, he didn't care at all.

Yang Yi smiled coldly and said, "Is that right?" He turned to Zhao Ziping and said, "Get in and take out the shopkeeper." Zhao Ziping said this just like this and immediately broke in. The two guards stepped forward to stop him, but Zhao Ziping threw him away from him, and then he was about to go in.

"Master, what are you doing? Are you really going to smash your own sign?" It turned out that Shen Qingshuang and Xiaoyue found Yang Yi's trip and didn't come back for a long time, so they found it. By the way, they thought of bringing some cosmetics to the sisters in the store, but they didn't expect to see this excitement.

The two guards were so disgusted that they were so angry that they stood up and shouted at Yang Yi and the others: "You are so bold. You guys dare to make trouble in Lord Yang Yi and Yang's shop, you can wait." They said that the two were about to leave now, probably because they wanted to bring reinforcements. Yang Yinu angrily said, and followed Shen Qingshuang and Xiaoyue to call a guard and immediately stepped forward to stop the two guards, and took them to Yang Yi like chasing a chicken.

As soon as the guard said this, Shen Qingshuang and Xiaoyue started to laugh. Seeing that they were smiling happily, Yang Yi also smiled bitterly, and then Shen Qian glanced at Shen Qingshuang. Zhao Ziping and the others were confused and looked at the two ladies smiling.

Seeing that Yang Yi looked ugly, Shen Qingshuang knew that she was blaming her improper management, so she hurried over and patted Yang Yi on the chest and said, "Okay, OK, my master, is it okay for me to vent my anger for you now?"

At this time, someone was watching the fun at the door. Shen Qingshuang was about to step in, and the curtain had been opened. Two people came out. One of them was a Japanese woman. The female shopkeeper Hua Erniang personally sent the Japanese woman to the door. Japanese? Yang Yi looked at her and said to herself: Oh, I have been busy all these years, why did I ignore the Japanese devils? In a few years, the little Japanese should start a reform. Yang Yi was thinking about this, and Hua Erniang had already found that the situation at the door was abnormal and scolded the two guards: "You two are eating a meal? These people at the door are blocked and don't know how to clean up. How can you do this business?..."

When Hua Erniang was halfway through, she found that Shen Qingshuang was standing at the door. She opened her mouth for a long time before saying, "God, why are you here?" Although Shen Qingshuang came to Shanghai, she stayed at home and didn't go out much, so the shopkeepers of the Shanghai store really didn't know that she was back.

Yang Yi was distracted. When he saw the Japanese girl Yang Yi, he was distracted. In the past history, the little Japanese did not leave a good impression on Yang Yi, but the Japanese girl was still sexy enough. Seeing the Japanese girl taking small steps into the car, Yang Yi couldn't help but think of the past. Although the little Japanese is not a thing, the a-film shot by the Japanese girl is still quite good. I remembered the n small movies stored in the 400g hard drive of the computer at home in the past. They were all treasures made by Yang Yi after he blacked out the n pornographic websites, and there were many Japanese girls. It seemed that he had to greet the little Japanese in advance, at least he had to get some information back first.

It would be nice to have a Japanese girl come back and have fun. In history, Japan sent many spies to deal with China to deal with China. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the maps of China drawn by the Japanese were more detailed than those drawn by China, which shows that the ambition of the Japanese nation had to be guarded against.

Yang Yi didn't notice Shen Qingshuang cursing with a stern face: "You two, do you know who this master is? You dare to stop him. He is your master." When the two guards heard this, their legs became weak, and even the shopkeeper's legs became weak, and they knelt down for Yang Yi.

"Why are we still having business deals with the Japanese?" Yang Yi suddenly asked this question. Hua Erniang was stunned at first, but she quickly realized that Yang Yi might not pursue it. She quickly replied: "Yes, lord, they went back to cosmetics and underwear in the store. Now this beauty brand product is sold well in the Japanese suburbs, and they are big buyers."

Seeing that Yang Yi didn't pursue him, Shen Qingshuang couldn't say anything else, but when she saw Yang Yi keep watching the Japanese women get in the car and leave, the people couldn't help but feel jealous: "Are Japanese women that beautiful?"
