Chapter 272: Decided plan for Nanyang (Part 2)

The reason why all the Chinese businessmen here asked Guan Boming for advice just now was mainly to ask Guan Boming to stay and act as their guardian god. They were thinking about how to stay here to save their lives. Once upon a time, they had some arrogant ideas like establishing a country. Guan Boming brought Xu Changqing in, but he just wanted to use his plans to seek some benefits for the Guan family. Even when he was young and frivolous, he never thought about establishing a country. Now he only had one thought in his mind, Xu Changqing was a madman.

Xu Changqing ignored everyone's eyes, lowered his head and placed his attention on the map on the desktop, and stroked his fingers on it. At the same time, he said: "Now there are only three largest officials in Southeast Asia and South Asia. They are Britain, which occupies India, France, which occupies Annan, and the United States, which occupies part of the Philippines. Among the people, the British and French are mainly engaged in the oceans of Britain and France, and we Chinese are auxiliary in business. However, this is only the overall situation in Southeast Asia and even South Asia. Just in the archipelago waters of Southeast Asia, we Chinese have an absolute advantage."

"We know all of these," Xu Changqing's words gradually attracted everyone here. The head of one of the big business firms said with a little awe: "Maybe he has just come to Nanyang and I don't know some things yet. Although we Chinese businessmen dominate the commercial exchanges in this area, the foreigners are very concerned about us and always suppress us. Therefore, our status in Nanyang is not much higher than that of the natives."

"I know all of this." Xu Changqing smiled and said, "The reason they suppressed Chinese business is because they felt that all the forces gathered together were enough to pose a threat to their rule in Southeast Asia, so they tried every means to curb the development of Chinese businessmen. I even think that what happened in Jakarta today, as well as the struggle between Chinese and local indigenous people in the Southeast Asia for more than ten years, has the shadow of these foreigners. Since most of the Dutch forces were driven out of Southeast Asia by Britain and France, the waters originally under the control of the Netherlands have become an empty area. Although the great powers wanted to re-dividate their interests, they could not reach an agreement.

In addition, their important colonies in Asia and their local political situation are unstable, and they cannot withdraw extra troops to enter this area, so they have to turn to master important ports on the local islands, and the others are temporarily given up. Although they have given up most of the areas, they do not want others to get there, especially us Chinese. So when our Chinese businessmen are dominant, they secretly support local indigenous people to fight against Chinese businessmen and prevent Chinese businessmen from mastering this area. After they stabilize, we and the indigenous people have already fought and suffered losses. Then they come out to clean up the mess. I believe you can guess the final result."

The people in charge of the business here are not simple people, otherwise how could their business be able to survive and grow in a complex place in Nanyang? They had felt something wrong before, but they were a little confused by the authorities and could not see it clearly. Now Xu Changqing has made the matter clear, and recalled the past suspicious points, coupled with the strange performance of the British and French garrisons today, everyone gradually understood. Suddenly, there were curses in the conference room, and there were all kinds of dialects. In addition to being angry, some mature and steady people also showed a hint of worry on their faces.

"Sir, what do we think we should do to get rid of the current situation?" Feng Jiusheng signaled everyone to calm down, and then asked Xu Changqing with respect.

Xu Changqing drew a circle on the map with his fingers, including Java Island, Sumatra Island and some islands in the Philippines, and said: "It's very simple, establish a country! As long as the Chinese establish a sovereign state in Southeast Asia, millions of Chinese in this area will have their backbone. The domestic pressure of Western powers like to talk about public opinion and public pressure. As long as the interests of the members of the Western powers and the people are combined with the countries formed by the Chinese, then these foreigners will not be as rude in dealing with the issues of Chinese people as they are now. Although the Western powers will still oppress the countries established by the Chinese, I believe that they will be dozens or even hundreds of times better than the current status and treatment of Chinese people. The stable Chinese can also gradually develop under such relatively safe circumstances and eventually get rid of the oppression of the Western powers."

"Sir, obviously, is a bit boasting, how easy is to establish a country!" Someone began to extricate himself: "We have neither soldiers nor weapons, and foreigners are also wary of us everywhere. How can we do this in such a situation!"

Everyone also felt that this was reasonable and said that the establishment of a country was something that could not be done.

"Why do you guys belittle yourself? Although the Chinese have a low status in Southeast Asia and lack a lot of things, there is one thing you don't need, that is money." Xu Changqing didn't care about the discussions of everyone and said directly: "You have an excellent opportunity now. Now the indigenous people on Java Island have begun to unite, and the overall indigenous forces have overwhelmed the power of Chinese merchants. I believe this situation is not what foreigners want to see, so foreigners will temporarily appoint the shopkeepers of Chinese merchants to take charge of Jakarta City and gather strength for Chinese merchants to raise their strength for Chinese merchants. I believe that this situation is not what foreigners want to see, so foreigners will temporarily appoint the shopkeepers of Chinese merchants to take charge of Jakarta City and gather strength for Chinese merchants to improve their strength.

For convenience. Although the position of the city lord is now virtual, we can turn it into reality. On the one hand, we can make the illusion of lack of strength to improve the support of foreigners to Chinese businessmen. On the other hand, we have bribed officials from Britain and France in this area to further implement the appointment. As long as we have the position of Jakarta City lord, Chinese businessmen can gather and form an army legitimately. I believe that it is not difficult to form a well-equipped strong army in a short period of time with the financial resources of Chinese businessmen!”

"What can we do if there is an army?" In the crowd, a relatively young business manager showed a strange look in his eyes and said anxiously: "Even if we can use this powerful army to wipe out the local indigenous people, what can we do? Will Britain and France not let us establish a country? Wouldn't their army in Annan and India come to attack us?"

Xu Changqing saw that this middle-aged man had a different enthusiasm than others about establishing a country, so he asked: "I dare to ask the Lord of the Lord..."

The middle-aged man quickly stood up and bowed his fists and said, "I'm here, Li Yunlong, who had lived in the Lanfang Republic before, but unfortunately, the Lanfang Republic was annexed by the Netherlands. Now he is working in Xierongmao Shipping Company. This time he is representing my boss, Mr. Huang Zhonghan, to support the Chinese in Jakarta."
