    That night, Wang Yuze and Xiong Menghan stayed in Xiong Wu's villa until the lanterns came on before leaving.  Wang Yuze and Xiong Wu, the son-in-law, had a very happy conversation with each other.  Through today's conversation, Xiong Wu completely changed his view of Wang Yuze and no longer regarded him as an Adou who could not be supported.  This change made Wang Yuze very happy.  Even though he was a young marshal, without Xiong Wu's support, it would be impossible for him to successfully take charge of the Western Sichuan Army.

    "Master, weren't you not optimistic about this son-in-law before? But today you seemed to have a very happy chat with him!" Mrs. Xiong looked at Wang Yuze's leaving carriage and said to Xiong Wu with a smile.

    "Rumors are harmful to people!" Xiong Wu sighed.  Before, he had always thought that Wang Yuze was an uneducated person who could not hold up a wall with mud. But after today's conversation with Wang Yuze, his perception of Wang Yuze had changed drastically.

    "Master, now that Yuze has become our son-in-law, you have to do your best to help him! As long as Yuze is well, our daughter can be well!" Mrs. Xiong said.

    "Yeah! I know!" Xiong Wu nodded.  He knew that Mrs. Xiong's intention was nothing more than to support Wang Yuze's rise to power a hundred years from now.  Now that Wang Yuze has become his son-in-law, it goes without saying that he will do the same.

    "What do you know? I heard that someone has been trying to usurp the throne. Master, you have to be more alert!" Mrs. Xiong said.

    "Okay! We can arrange these important things freely. Those are just clowns. You don't need to worry about it!" Xiong Wu said impatiently.  He knows who Mrs. Xiong is talking about, but there is no definite evidence now, and the other party is in a high position. If he takes action without evidence, it will definitely cause turmoil in the Western Sichuan regime!  However, as long as the other party really dares to resist, he will never let them succeed.

    The next day, July 20, Wang Yuze accompanied Yang Shilan back to Yang's house.  Compared with the Xiong family, the Yang family is a big family.  When hundreds of members of the Yang family were waiting for Wang Yuze outside Yang Hua's official residence, he was very impressed.  In this era, there are still great advantages in having more people.  Unlike their Wang family, now there are only two of them, father and son.  This forced Wang Yuze to speed up his plan to create people. In order for the Wang family to flourish, he had to work harder.

    Wang Yuze and his wife received warm hospitality at the Yang family.  Everyone in the Yang family was very satisfied with this son-in-law.  Yang Hua and Wang Yuze, the two sons-in-law, also had a secret conversation in Yang Hua's study. As for the content, outsiders had no way of knowing.  All I know is that when they came out of the study, both of them were smiling and seemed very happy.

    In fact, in Yang Hua's study, Yang Hua clearly expressed his support for Wang Yuze. Once Wang Yuze is in need, all the resources of the Yang family will be invested in supporting Wang Yuze.  Of course, there is no such thing as a free lunch.  Wang Yuze also promised Yang Hua that once the Government Affairs Council is established, Yang Hua will definitely be the first prime minister candidate of the Government Affairs Council.  This promise made Yang Hua very happy.  He knew that in the future political structure, the prime minister would be one of the giants of the government, responsible for handling political affairs and possessing very great power.  He was already satisfied to get such a position.

    July 21st was the day when Wang Yuze accompanied Zhou Rui back home.  Compared with the initial compulsion, Zhou Rui seems to have accepted her fate now, but she still treats Wang Yuze without any pretense.  Obviously, it was Wang Yuze who severely shattered a girl's dream.

    As the president of Xihua Group, Zhou Rongxuan is one of the richest people in the entire western Sichuan.  Of course, most of the Xihua Group's wealth belongs to the Wang family.  But Zhou Rongxuan's personal wealth is definitely in the top 50 in Western Sichuan.  Moreover, as the Xihua Group continues to develop, his wealth will increase.

    The Zhou family's mansion is very large, no smaller than Yang Hua's governor's mansion.  Moreover, the architecture and style inside the mansion are even more gorgeous.  However, Zhou Rongxuan's family lives overseas most of the time, and usually only returns to China once every few years. Except for some maids and servants, no one else lives here.  This time, sending Zhou Rui back to marry Wang Yuze made the place lively again.

    After Wang Yuze¡¯s motorcade arrived at Zhou¡¯s house, they were warmly welcomed.  Although the Zhou family is rich, the Wang family is richer than them and is still their boss.  Although Zhou Rongxuan is the father-in-law, he cannot put on airs.

    "Father-in-law, please welcome me personally. I really don't dare to be my son-in-law!" Wang Yuze said quickly after getting off the carriage and seeing the people from the Zhou family coming up to greet him.

    "Haha, Yuze, we are all a family, how come there are so many false gifts! Come in quickly!" Zhou Rongxuan said enthusiastically.

    Wang Yuze met his mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law again.  My brother-in-law, Zhou Yuqian, is 24 years old and graduated from the United States.The Business School of Harvard University has now entered into the operation of Xihua Group.  Second brother-in-law Zhou Yukun, 22 years old, has just graduated from Yale Law School and is about to join the group.

    After entering Zhou's house, Zhou Rui was taken away by her mother and two sisters-in-law, while Wang Yuze, Zhou Rongxuan, Zhou Yuqian and Zhou Yukun were drinking tea and chatting in the living room.  As everyone chatted, they talked about the Xihua Group.

    Zhou Rongxuan, intentionally or unintentionally, also introduced the general outline of Xihua Group to Wang Yuze. Anyway, Xihua Group will also belong to Wang Yuze in the future.  Through Zhou Rongxuan's introduction, Wang Yuze already had a more comprehensive understanding of Xihua Group.

    Xihua Group is headquartered in San Francisco, USA, and spans shipbuilding, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, machinery manufacturing, food, textile and other industries. Although it is not listed on the market, its total assets have reached 500 million US dollars, although it cannot be compared with those ancient families.  , but it can be considered a behemoth.  You must know that the current fiscal revenue of the United States in 1890 was only more than 400 million US dollars.  Even the most powerful country, the United Kingdom, has fiscal revenue of less than 100 million pounds.  And China¡¯s old enemy Japan only has 160 million yen.  The Qing court only had more than 80 million taels of silver.  In comparison, the assets of Xihua Group are definitely a wealth that can rival the country.  With the support of Xihua Group, Wang Yuze can do a lot of things, which is even more important for future layout.

    "I think that from now on, the group's main business direction can shift to shipbuilding, petrochemicals and internal combustion engine manufacturing. This will be the most important force leading future development!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Petroleum? Besides making kerosene, can that thing be used for anything else?" Zhou Rongxuan was surprised.

    "Europe is already conducting research on internal combustion engines, and it is estimated that breakthrough progress will be made soon. By then, oil consumption will inevitably begin to increase dramatically. Just like the use of steam engines, the first industrial revolution broke out, making Britain the world hegemon.  . Then, the use of electricity and internal combustion engines will trigger the outbreak of the second industrial revolution. As long as we can catch up with this express train, we in Western Sichuan and even China will be able to achieve extremely rapid development!" Wang Yuze said.

    Zhou Rongxuan and his son are well-informed people. They have been abroad all year round and have some understanding of these things.  Although I am not completely convinced of what Wang Yuze said, I still think it is very reasonable.

    "Father-in-law, compared with the Western powers, we are already far behind. If we can seize this opportunity, this will be our chance to catch up with them. Therefore, this matter still depends on you. You must do your best.  The greatest possibility is to obtain the production technology of internal combustion engines and obtain more oil fields. This will provide huge energy for our rise!" Wang Yuze said seriously.  At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the United States and Germany quickly surpassed the old Britain and France with the help of the second industrial revolution.

    "Okay, after we return to the United States, we will step up investment in this area!" Zhou Rongxuan saw that Wang Yuze said so solemnly, and he did not dare to despise it.  Although he didn't think that Wang Yuze, a little guy under twenty, could come up with these things, he subconsciously thought that this was what the commander Wang Xiao meant, and Wang Yuze was just a microphone.  He is deeply aware of Wang Xiao's power. When he went to the United States, it was under Wang Xiao's guidance that he developed today.  Therefore, he is very convinced of Wang Xiao.
