My Italian: Chapter 355 The small ups and downs of Pontianak

My Italian https://

The great development of Pontianak started as an Italian colony more than ten years ago. After the first governor and former Prime Minister Cairoli selected it as the capital, funds from Italy and Nanyang Chinese made Pontianak quickly become famous in Nanyang. City.

At the same time, thanks to Italy's need to make it a colonial model city, Pontianak is also very careful in planning. Roads, water and drainage systems, electricity and other facilities are also very thoughtful. It is rude to say that Pontianak ranks in the top three in terms of supporting facilities, even compared with Italian cities.

No way, the colonial government has money, so it can do whatever it wants. And it is precisely by virtue of the supporting facilities that are arrogant in Southeast Asia, Pontianak has become a business card and a business card showing Italian style. Of course, in addition to this, Pontianak also attracted people from all over Southeast Asia to settle here.

European and Chinese-style buildings are scattered throughout the city, and Southeast Asian-style buildings are dotted, giving Pontianak a charming charm.

So far, Pontianak has a population of 480,000 and ranks among the top three in Southeast Asia. If economic factors are included, Jakarta in the hands of the Dutch is even better than Singapore in the hands of the British.

Such a fascinating city makes His Excellency Governor Ambik never get tired of seeing it.

"What a charming city."

His Excellency the Governor, who was standing on the balcony of the Governor's Palace watching the sunset, drank the red wine in his glass and handed it to the servant.

Ambik is very satisfied with being the Governor of Borneo. Borneo is a paradise compared to the deserted East African colonies of the past. Abundant output, docile people, and a fast-growing economy make for a perfect colony.

To be able to serve here, Umbik thinks it is His Majesty and the Cabinet, for the sake of eating sand in East Africa for a few years. reward given.

"Lord Governor."

Just as Ambik was intoxicated by the scenery, he saw his secretary hurried over.

"What's up?"

Facing his secretary, Ambik asked directly without looking back.

"My lord, those people agreed to your request. In addition, they want to ask your lord, can you take a stake in Balikpapan Oilfield?"

The secretary whispered something.

The secretary's words made Ambik turn his head, and he waved his hand and waited for the servant to retreat before speaking. "Do these people have a good appetite? The oil in Balikpapan is the heart of the oil company, and I don't dare to interfere."

Facing the words of his own governor, the secretary thought about it. "Maybe they don't know enough about the field, they don't know what's going on with the oil companies."

"Perhaps so."

After listening to the secretary's defense, Ambik continued. "But their behavior must be stopped. The Italian oil company is a joint venture between the royal family and the government, and its position is not weaker than the national grid. Tell them directly, it is impossible. Tell them again, I will add 5%. Profit, and if they don't agree then I'll find someone again."

"Yes, my lord."

After the secretary left, Ambik continued to watch the afterglow of the sunset.

What Ambik asked his secretary to do seemed mysterious, but it was nothing but the acquisition of several family properties.

The root cause of this matter was Yuan Shikai. At that time, because the new army officers were not enough, Yuan Daren set his sights on the Italian Chinese officers.

Many Chinese officers were dazzled by Mr. Yuan's high-ranking official Houlu, so they became officers of his new army. Regarding this matter, although the Italian local side has not said anything, it is a bit strange on the Borneo side.

In the view of the colonial government of Borneo, these Chinese officers who joined the Qing Dynasty simply lacked allegiance to Italy. Since it lacks loyalty, it must be punished as its family. Of course, considering the actual impact, the colonial government is also a small punishment. It only needs to divest some industries, and does not intend to uproot them.

If you want to acquire some of the properties of Chinese families, the best white gloves are of course those Chinese families who still show loyalty. As the highest officer of the colonial government, it is reasonable for Governor Ambik to reap a little benefit.

After all, to come to Pontianak across the distance of half the earth, Governor Ambik is also very hard, so harvest some money to make up for the problems of the governor who is in charge of daily affairs. Even Prime Minister Antonio, who is known for his strength and integrity, brought back millions of lire when he returned from Borneo.

After Ambik's request was sent to the Liu family, Liu Enguan, the head of the Liu family's family, immediately convened everyone to discuss the governor's request.

After telling Ambik's request, Liu Enguan asked. "What do you think of this Governor Ambik's request?"

"What else can you think of, can we not give it? I said, don't be jealous of the oil in Balikpapan. If you open your mouth, it will directly reduce the profit by 5%."

"What are you talking about? Song Yusheng raised his hand to vote at the time, but I saw that you raised your hand too. Why would you complain when the food hangs down?"

"He Qing, which eye did you see when I raised my hand, don't be full of nonsense."

"Snapped!"

A sudden sound of a slap on the table interrupted the two of them.

"Song Yusheng, He Qing, you want to quarrel for me to change a place, because of that little land, are you planning to do it again?"

In the end, Liu Enguan had been the chief of Lanfang before, and the heads of the major clans still had to give a little face, so he calmed down.

"I made a mistake in proposing to take a stake in the oil field this time~www.mtlnovel.com~ I originally thought I could get involved in the kerosene business, but I overestimated my strength."

"Commander Liu, where is this, aren't you here for the big guy? Don't mention it again."

Seeing someone give the steps, Liu Enguan also borrowed the donkey to go down the slope. "Alright, we won't mention it anymore, so the Governor's request should be increased by 5%?"

"What else can I do? Could it be that I can still hate the Governor."

"However, it is true that you can't hate the Governor."

"Yup……"

The successive echoes are enough to explain the problem, but of course there are also different voices.

"It's not good for Lin, Zhang and other families to be targeted like this."

Faced with the question raised, someone immediately refuted it. "What's wrong with this? Everyone knows the situation of these families. Since they want to bet on the imperial court, they must have action. Don't they want to step on two boats, and the colonial government is not allowed to do anything."

"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to say, let me wait and see what the people below will think?"

"If you feel bad, you can let it out."

Well, this sentence immediately made other voices mute. After all, this interest is touching, and everyone can say it if they don't do it. Isn't it just my family that will be isolated?

After seeing that everyone had no opinion, Liu Enguan continued, "Then this matter is decided, everyone should pay attention to it next."

Now that the decision was made, everyone naturally dispersed.

Liu Enguan called the housekeeper. "Tell that Dr. Sun that I, Mr. Liu, don't care about his position in the United States of China, and let him leave quickly."

"Okay, sir."
