Chapter 100 The Family of Two Worlds

The Dog's Eye returned to Hangzhou from the officer on October 10. When it returned, it had no cargo and was almost empty.Even if it was an empty ship, even if it was able to sail at night, due to the wrong wind direction, the Gouyan was forced to take the anti-submarine route on the sea, and finally returned to Hangzhou after 24 days.

After resting for a few days in Hangzhou, the Gouyan took a newly bought sand boat and rushed to the crew without stopping. On the way, it passed by the other two sand boats that were difficult to anti-submarine.

The two ships still carried 100 laborers each, as well as rice and some cloth, and daily groceries.All the people who were stranded in Hangzhou boarded the ship this time, including the last bit of reinforced concrete reserves, and they were all transported to the officers.

Dayuangang is very lively today.More than a month ago, two sand boats set off from Hangzhou to take the oath, and the others stood on the shore and waved goodbye.

As of the moment of the gathering, the number of traversers who came to Daming one after another, including Cao Chuan, totaled 88, and the total number of laborers controlled by the traversal forces was 750. This number did not include the natives and Japanese who could be hired at any time.

In the more than a month since I came to the officers, the Transmigrators eliminated the Dutch and Japanese forces, recruited the indigenous force of the Xingang Society, and made their decrees pass through the control area without hindrance. .

Repairing the big staff business hall, building two new bases in Kiln District and Chikan, and dredging the Xingang River. Thinking about it, it is quite a sense of achievement.

That night, Xia Xianze held a banquet, and all the members of the Transmigration Congregation attended.Before the banquet, Mr. Xia delivered a speech titled "Time Does Not Wait for Me", calling on all the people across the world to unite, race against time, build while fighting, and fight for everyone's "own cause" to the end!
There are whistles and applause here.

The boxes of German stout beer and Niulanshan Erguotou that Mr. Cao had approved from the supermarket were swept away that night. In fact, all the wines were drank. Farewell, cans of stout beer.

Early the next morning, the general meeting of shareholders was held on time in the big office. The meeting was broadcast live on the forum, mainly to announce the financial situation and discuss the next plan.

There are 55 taels of silver in the company's accounts, and 22 taels of silver are old-fashioned silver bars and coins of the Dutch and Japanese.

The rest are silver ingots and silver bars that Mr. Cao brought from later generations one after another.At the beginning, Mr. Cao brought 50 taels of silver ingots. Later, when the space was tight, he changed it to 925 silver bars. After crossing the crowd, he mixed some lead and tin and cast them into ingots. Later, the space was even more tense, and some of the silver bars were covered with pearls. Necklace instead.

A perfectly round (travelling bead), good quality, 1cm diameter Wuxian non-nuclear cultured pearl can easily sell for 50 to 70 taels of silver in Hangzhou.However, pearls are progressive. 10 of the same pearls are strung into jewelry. You can't buy them for 500 taels, but 10 pearls are very small, smaller than 50 taels of silver ingots, which can save space.

In addition to the slower realization, pearls are much more cost-effective than silver, so the company still has hundreds of pearls of various colors in reserve.

All kinds of imported materials are controlled by the first key department of the crossing force: the "Imported Materials Management Committee". Of course, the chairman must be Xia Xianze, this is a must-have for the leader.

Then Xia Xianze posted the list of supplies on the forum.In fact, shareholders still know a lot about the materials in the warehouse, because every time Cao Chuan brings the boxes, they are unloaded by Chuanzhong himself.

22 cubic meters, which is equivalent to the transportation volume of a medium-sized box. At first, it was rushed. Later, when Lao Xia discovered that someone was stealing cigarettes while unloading, he changed it to designated personnel to load and unload, but other people can watch, so there are Everyone knows what.

There are many varieties of goods, including guns and ammunition, medicines, reinforced concrete, and mechanical accessories. The above are the bulk.There are also reserves of other daily necessities, which are essentially distributed on demand. For example, traversers who work in the field can apply for hiking shoes, and the final decision is made by the committee.

The food was long gone, and the wine was just finished yesterday, so it was also crossed off the list.

There is only so much money in the family. Since Cao Chuan crossed for the first time, all the materials he has saved are here.

There was no gold on the company's books, and all the gold was taken away by Cao Chuan.Among the things that Cao Chuan took away from the Ming Dynasty were mahogany furniture and imprinted stones, as well as a small amount of groceries.

In general, Cao Chuan's recent return flight is still free.

After the initial frenzied expansion, the business empire established by Cao Chuan in later generations has entered a stage of smooth operation.Several furniture factories of different brands at home and abroad, several antique shops at home and abroad, two small auction houses that secretly hold shares, some warehouses and real estate distributed in various places, and many shell companies.
In this case, the complete sets of mahogany antique furniture and high-quality bloodstones that are easy to attract the attention of people are no longer the items that Cao Chuan first collects. On the contrary, some inconspicuous mahogany original strips are the best choice.

These original pieces can be silently turned into modern high-end furniture and appear in some ordinary furniture cities. Although the income is a little less, it is relative and stable and safe.You know, the furniture brands he acquired are more or less profitable.

The dog's eye crew brought twelve cubes of mahogany original strips with the ship this time. As for mahogany furniture, there is only one set, too many are useless. Now it will take a long time before the auction will be organized.

Due to the latitude problem in Taiwan, there is not a large number of rosewoods produced, and there are occasionally a few trees, and it is not worth looking for in the dense forest.The most expensive wood found locally is Taiwan black sandalwood. The price of this kind of black sandalwood is not high. It is sold in tons, unlike those rosewoods sold by kilograms.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Cao Chuan's plane trading will have a period of unprofitable - the kiln area is about to be ready.

At that time, Cao Chuan will go back and forth several times a day, delivering the prepared expensive industrial equipment.

The equipment has long been listed by Zou Guoqing and the others. In order to run as long as possible in the Middle Ages, the equipment and accessories are high-end products selected without a brain. If the time comes, some accessories are customized.

Even for a common brick-making machine in the countryside, the bearings are from Sweden's SKF, the molds are from Sweden's ASSAB, and the motor is a perverted thing like Siemens, which made the purchasing manager hired by Cao Chuan puzzled and puzzled. Crowded, suspicious.

Recently, this guy has started to dispel the doubts, probe his brain, and investigate secretly.Probably when he was applying for a job, he really thought that he got this lucrative job by virtue of his talent, and he never connected his file and work.But it doesn't matter, soon he will be able to reunite with these mentally retarded and perverted equipment that he purchased. Maybe he will also operate the Swedish brick machine by himself.

　Ask for tickets, ask for collections.
