Code Name: Flame

Chapter 86 Trouble
Chen Jia left the clinic, hailed a rickshaw and arrived at the gate of Nelson Transportation Shanghai Company.

The company is located on the banks of the Huangpu River, some distance from the Shiliupu Pier, so it can be regarded as a quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle.The doorman at the door was obviously newly recruited. Seeing Chen Jia walking straight in, he rushed out of the doorway, "Sir, what are you looking for?"

Chen Jia suddenly came to his senses, stopped walking and said with a smile: "Make an appointment with Manager Guo, Mr. Li just came to look for Yi."

"Mr. Li from Ali, oh, sir, blame me for my long-windedness. I come to find Manager Guo Erning every day to make a deal, and I always ask Qingqing."

"Nong just happened to be Mr. Li, Yi's neighbor, and Yi knew about it."

The guard bowed to signal Chen Jia to stay where he was, and trotted upstairs to inform Guo Shuyi.After a while, Guo Shuyi ran downstairs, "Nong is finally back."

The guard at the back was a little confused when he saw this, and didn't know what happened. Manager Guo was not so enthusiastic about anyone.

After Guo Shuyi shook hands with Chen Jia, he turned his head and saw the guard standing there blankly, so he said with a smile, "Yi is the chairman of Ala Company, and I will inform you when I see Yi coming."

The guard trembled with fright and nearly passed out.

Everyone in the company has met Chen Jia... Oh no, Li Guohua's only two people are Guo Shuyi and Brother Liu, so everyone in the company wonders why they have never met the chairman.Now that I saw it, I ended up blocking people outside.

Chen Jia patted his arm and said with a smile: "You did a good job, no matter who it is in the future, just treat strangers like this."

Guo Shuyi let Chen Jia into the office, asked someone to make him a pot of tea, and then said with a smile: "Married to Miss Gu? I can't attend your wedding, forgive me."

Chen Jia took out a gift from his bag and pushed it to him, "Don't be hypocritical, do you and I still need this? This is the gift Gu Minghua picked for you, take a look."

Guo Shuyi rubbed his hands exaggeratedly, took the gift and weighed it, "Watch?"

"Well, it's a pair of couples, you and your sister-in-law have one piece."

After unpacking, there are indeed a pair of couple watches inside the box, which are very beautiful. Looking at the brand, it is from IWC.

"Oh, it's too precious." With the polite words in his mouth, he took out the watch and put it on his wrist skillfully, making it two circles bigger.

"I accepted the watch because I think I deserve it, and I'll show you something too."

He opened the drawer, took out a few pieces of paper and handed it to Chen Jia, "Look, it's a good start. During the time you went to the United States, our cargo volume was close to 100%. Especially for ocean cargo, Japanese companies are now providing We have done a lot, not to mention American companies. How about buying a few more?”

Chen Jia read the report carefully, and it was indeed as he said, the five ships currently in operation are almost non-stop, and all operations are reviewed.This is a remarkable achievement for a newly opened shipping company.

Returning the report to Guo Shuyi, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations to Manager Guo for making a good start and making a lot of money."

Guo Shuyi also laughed out loud after being teased by him, put away the report, and then asked, "Did you bring the telegraph?"

"Bring it here. Gu Minghua bought the latest 100-watt radio, which is only this big, and there are twenty of them in total." Chen Jiabi made a gesture, which meant it was very small.

"Twenty units?" Guo Shuyi didn't understand, why buy so many?And now this kind of high-power radio is banned, and if it is found out, it will be sued.

Chen Jia didn't tell him the truth. In fact, there were thirty units, and the other ten units were bought in the name of spare parts. When the time comes, they will be assembled with a case.

"Our ships must be equipped with this kind of radio station. You need at least two here. After twenty, it may not be enough." Chen Jia is right. Now ocean-going ships are equipped with high-power radio stations, and they have to report to the ship at any time. to ensure that companies can control their position.Of course, if it exceeds the communication range, it will only disappear.

Chen Jia's solution was to set up relay stations on Guam and Hawaii, so that the problem of transoceanic communication would be solved.It is also simple to judge whether the communication is normal, that is, to send reports regularly, as long as there is an interruption in the middle, it means that there is a problem with the relay station.

But this is not very safe, because they are all AC transmitters, and the power stations in Guam and Hawaii rely on diesel engines to generate electricity, and the transmission has a lot to do with the weather. Thinking about the dog temper of the sea, the relay station cannot be contacted. Circumstances will happen.So it only solves the problem of presence or absence, but it cannot solve the stability.

As for the matter of buying a ship, Chen Jia has not considered it for the time being. It is very difficult to find captains for the nine ships now, and it is useless to have a ship and no one to drive it.Besides, there will be a war in Shanghai next, and trade will be affected at that time.Ocean-going ships can continue to operate in the United States, but these small ships will have to find another way out. Whether they can keep them is a matter of debate.

"I have shipped the radio station to the warehouse, and the customs have cleared here. You have to do the rest of the report to the Communications Bureau and the police station. One more thing is that more than 2000 people on the San Francisco ship came back with me, you know Yes, I can’t find a suitable place to live now. You send a boat to Chongqing to find a place to settle them, and guarantee their livelihood. I will give you one hundred thousand dollars in return and guarantee their livelihood for at least half a year.”

Guo Shuyi was already prepared, and said with a smile: "When you were floating in the sea, I sent someone there. It was very difficult to rent a house, so I rented five small schools. They have classes during the day and we sleep at night. The high and low beds have already been rented." Let the local people build it, and they are also making bedding and so on. It is estimated that this group of people just used it in the past.”

"The parents are willing?"

"For those who refused at first, I promised to provide students with two meals a day. When the company dormitory is built, I will help them renovate their classrooms and buy new teaching aids. Now they want us to rent them."

Chen Jia scratched his head, he couldn't figure out how to teach like this?Everyone sit on the bed?Living in the classroom is also troublesome, and people will have opinions after a long time.

After another conversation, Chen Jia stood up and said goodbye.

When Guo Shuyi sent Chen Jia out, the doorman stood straight at the door to see him off, hehe, this doorman is a smart guy.

When Chen Jia stepped into the house, Yamada Yokono just came back from the outside, seeing Chen Jia excitedly came up to express his condolences: "Master, you are finally back."

As usual, take out a gift and give it to Yamada.Yamada Yokono opened it and said pleasantly, "Watch? It's so beautiful."

Well, Gu Minghua's understanding of men is very good, just a watch is enough to get rid of, is it true that she will give men gifts as watches in the future?
Yamada Yokono also reported on the recent situation of the trading company.

With the help of Denshichi Okawachi, Fujiwara Trading Co., Ltd. successfully won the logistics support business of the Marine Corps, and also won the raw material supply of food and dishes for the Third Fleet.Although the business is trivial, it cannot support large quantities, and the price offered by the Navy is also good.According to Chen Jia's instructions, Yamada found several companies to do subcontracting, and he could earn [-]% of the profit as soon as he changed hands.The specific benefit distribution will have to wait for Chen Jia to come back to see who and how much should be given.

"There is almost 9 to [-] yuan in net profit every month, especially for the Marine Corps. Our profit is very high."

Chen Jia understood Yamada's words in seconds, the old devil was completely let go, and his appetite was really big.But it's understandable if you think about it. You can only become a major general at this age, and your future is bleak. You can only make money.There is nothing to say, Okawachi Denshichi and Hasegawa Kiyoshi each have [-], which is not too small or too big, let’s make a final decision after seeing their attitudes.

"One more thing. The old master sent a telegram saying that General Matsui's youngest daughter, Matsui Mina, will come to Shanghai for fun. I hope the master will take good care of her."

Chen Jia hummed, suddenly realized something was wrong, raised her head in surprise and asked, "Why did you let me receive you?"

Yamada Yokono bowed and replied: "The old master said it was the intention of the parents. For this reason, he returned the marriage of the master since he was a child, and lost a lot of money."

Chen Jia was speechless. He co-authored that he still has baby relatives?Everyone knows that the parents have a good relationship with General Matsui, but marriage in Japan is very particular, literati... let's talk about literati for now.Marriage between literati and military commanders is very cautious, firstly because of the low status of military commanders, and secondly because they are afraid of the suspicion and suspicion of the emperor.Why did the old guy suddenly come up with the idea of ​​marrying Matsui Iwane, isn't he afraid that the emperor has some bad ideas?

Yamada Yokono looked up and saw that Chen Jia was thinking about something, knowing that the master had forgotten all about the past, so naturally he didn't know about the baby.

"The old master said that Miss Matsui Mina is very beautiful, and he is very satisfied with this marriage. The main reason is that General Matsui stepped down as the commander of the Taiwan Garrison and worked as a councilor in the military department. His parents are working to let him take charge of the army again, so I think... The master is not young, and should have married and had children in Japan long ago. The old master means that he does not object to this marriage, mainly depends on whether the two of you hit it off."

Grass mud horse, this is the meaning of father's life is hard to break?But I have a decent wife, okay? !
