Ma Xiaoling sat in a luxuriously decorated office with confidence. This is the office of Xinhua Railway Company in Xinlaiburg. Currently, there are only a few dozen people including Ma Xiaoling - most of them are assistants, but there are only three or four serious cadres. Ma Xiaoling, who is in charge of telegraph, is one of them.

After the invention of the telegraph, Ma Xiaoling, who specialized in learning its working principles and the transmission and reception mechanism, planned to devote herself to the telegraph business very early. After years of disputes, Xinhuaxia Island, which was in charge of his father Ma Wanpeng, finally began to build a railway that runs across the Daqing Basin. So Ma Xiaoling was arranged to come in to be responsible for the construction of the Xinlaiburg Telegraph Station (which is one with the railway station) - now it is the founding period of the Xinhuaxia Railway Company, and all kinds of personnel were promoted quickly. When there were radishes in all pits, they would really start from the bottom one step at a time.

To be fair, Ma Xiaoling still has some abilities, such as she is a foreign language in Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch. She also had good grades when she graduated from Oriental Middle School. Later, she systematically learned various knowledge about railways and cable telegraphs - especially the latter. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call her the word "talent".

Ma Wanpeng, the captain of the New China Development Team, is still very concerned about the eldest son (Ma Xiaopeng) born to his genuine wife. Ma Xiaopeng, who originally operated a family industry such as herb plantation and fragrance factory in Beidao, has been sent back to China to work in politics by him, and Ma Xiaoling was also arranged to join the New China Railway Company, which has a good starting point.

"Website Manager, a batch of telegraph equipment ordered from the local area has arrived at Mianhe Port. I believe it will be transported north soon." The deputy stationmaster from Corps Fort walked in quickly and said, "With this batch of equipment, our telegraph station finally looks like it. We no longer need to do air-to-air business training all day long like before."

Ma Xiaoling was also a little surprised when she heard this, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Business training is still necessary, and the business assessment of the women's telegraph class must be carried out every week. After all, it is not known that the railway can be built and the year of the Monkey, and what's worse is that the money may not be enough..."

Yes, the funds for the establishment of the New China Railway Company are nominally only one million yuan, not to mention that a considerable part of the funds are far from being credited. Currently, the funds transferred to the railway company's accounts are 200,000 yuan from the New China Railway Company, 110,000 yuan from the Central Railway Company, 150,000 yuan from the South Railway Company, and 140,000 yuan raised from the public issuance of shares. The total amount is only 600,000 yuan - this amount of money is simply a cup of money for a railway with a planned length of 262 kilometers.

The money is not enough, and the money is gone if you use it here and there. Even if Ma Wanpeng is very capable enough to build a lot of slaves who can be squeezed to work hard to build, the money is far from enough. Fortunately, the local western forging factory, Ping An Iron and Steel Factory, Tieling Special Steel Factory, and Railway Machinery Processing Factory have brought a considerable amount of railway equipment to credit under the instructions of the Executive Committee to "maintain the overall situation of stability", but this has only made the life of the New China Railway Company a little better, and the funding gap is still very large.

However, Ma Wanpeng also proposed a solution a while ago, that is, to increase capital and expand shares of the New China Railway Company. The New China Development Team government is willing to inject one million yuan into the company within three years to provide more sufficient funds for the construction of Daqing Railway. Other shareholders of the company can naturally contribute to the same proportion of capital to fulfill their obligations, but if they cannot contribute, I am sorry, the New China Development Team's shareholding ratio in the New China Railway Company will increase.

Don’t think that the New China Development Team cannot afford the money. Although they will be very energetic when they do this, they may not be able to squeeze out the energy, but they may not be able to squeeze out the money. In this largest overseas colony called the "Pearl of the East Coast", after so many years of continuous conquest and development, logging, mining, shipbuilding, fishing and plantation economy has become a trend. Even though the New China Development Team initially adjusted the various tax rates to extremely low in order to attract domestic capital to develop the island (some simply promised not to collect it within a few years), it still provided a large amount of tax sources to the island government. According to data in 1658, the New China Development Team government collected 372,000 yuan in tariffs, business taxes, consumption taxes, etc. alone, not to mention that there are some local state-owned enterprises, and state-owned plantations can withdraw funds. In short, New China Development Island is still quite rich.

Ma Wanpeng is still using various means to attract a bunch of trading companies registered in the local Oriental Port, Luoqia Port, Qingdao Port and other places to New China Island. Because only in this way can the government of the New China Development Team share the export volume of more than 1.5 million yuan per year. You should know that the tax and fee income is quite large, and Ma Wanpeng is jealous! Of course, he also knows that this matter is a bit difficult. First, the environment in New China Island is a bit poor, and second, the local government will not be willing to see an overseas colonial government with strong financial strength appear. After all, this is a very taboo thing.

However, in any case, the government's financial strength of the New China Development Team is still very strong, and this is also the confidence that Ma Wanpeng dares to shout out "one million in three years" to invest in the New Railway Company (although most people need loans). However, the local officials are not easy to fool! They naturally rejected Ma Wanpeng's proposal and asked the other party to be a little restless. Now all kinds of construction affairs in the local area are complicated and the funds are not very abundant. When they take a breath, they will naturally raise capital increases again. Now there is no need.

Such a reply naturally made Ma Wanpeng so angry that he was so angry that he could not make any difference. Who could not twist his arms and thighs? So, the guy retracted back to Xinhua Port and went to "play" - mainly to select brave and strong people from black slaves, and hold various sports meetings, such as real-person fighting, etc., and he is quite good at playing.

As Ma Wanpeng's daughter, Ma Xiaoling naturally would not know nothing about the bullshit things of the Xinhuaxia Railway Company, but she was powerless to do many things, and most of the time she could only go with the flow. While the two were chatting, they heard a noise from outside the station. They hurriedly sent people out to inquire, but they heard that the logistics staff of the Xinhuaxia Security Command came here to purchase various materials and planned to transport them to the front line in the north.

Speaking of which, recently, Xiao Baitu is thinking of launching an offensive to drive northward to expel the forces of the Boyra Kingdom. Currently, he is stationed in Qingyang Fort, actively preparing supplies, selecting soldiers, and training soldiers. He plans to immediately rush his troops north as soon as the rainy season ends, and completely defeating the Boyra Kingdom, one of the remaining forces of the Sakarava Kingdom. Poor Sakarava people just captured Ma Renga and were about to be attacked by the East Coast people from both directions of water and land. It is tragic to think about it - but the fate of the natives is also destined to be like this. If the East Coast people had not deliberately released water repeatedly, how could the two goods, Qi Maladonna and Qi Malong Garifu, escape to the north so smoothly and seize a large amount of land to become the mountain king? The so-called driving force of the king must have the awareness of reaching this point today.

After defeating the Kingdom of Boyra (almost inevitable), the East Coast people not only obtained a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and slaves, but also pushed the front north to the front line of Ma Renjia, which had always been prosperous. At this point, the fragile abdomen of the Monaber Kingdom - the main force of the country is currently fighting with other native tribes, trying to open a road to life east - will be exposed to the blades of the East Coast people, and the future fate can be seen. In short, the Sakarava people, the nomadic force that rose like a comet, has been scattered in the long river of history for a few years - New China Island is still the exclusive place for the East Coast people.

However, Xiao Baitu's side is not without difficulties. The biggest difficulty is probably the lack of troops. Since the Xinhuaxia Infantry Battalion (the only regular infantry battalion in the overseas colony) began to develop land in the mountainous areas south of Xinhua County and clear out tribal forces such as the Bezimisalaka people and Tanora people, the Eight Banners of the islands in Qingyang and Beiping have been drawn in large quantities (even technical troops such as artillery have been drawn in a considerable proportion), the offensive of the East Coast on the West Coast was immediately set aside, and the initial sharp situation was no longer there (of course this is also related to strategic arrangements).

This time, Xiao Baitu reiterated the matter of going north to attack the Boyila Kingdom, which means that Ma Wanpeng has decided to temporarily stop the offensive in the northern mountains and turn the focus of the attack to the west coast. After finishing the matter here first, it will save you from long nights and dreams in the future. Moreover, this is also of great benefit to the development of New China Island. You must know that in the island where plantation economy is now popular, there is naturally a huge demand for all kinds of labor. And if you want to obtain labor, the most convenient way is to destroy the enemy country. Think about it, although the Boyila Kingdom has not been established for a long time and has been in a state of war, there are still 100,000 people (maybe more than 150,000). After all, this area has been economically developed and has a large population since ancient times.
