Chapter 641 Apprentice (Second update, please subscribe)
Life is different for everyone. For a plantation owner like Chen Erqiang who has just made a fortune, he enjoys life while thinking about earning as much money as possible.

The colony is full of possibilities, and everyone has the opportunity to succeed as long as they are willing. In fact, this is exactly what the colony attracts them.

"In the colony, as long as we stay for a full year, we can apply for a loan from the bank."

In a tavern in Xinyouzhou City, there was a plate of braised beef, a plate of offal, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of fennel beans. Ding Dashuan looked at the two friends in front of him and said.

"Don't look at the fact that we can earn twenty or thirty yuan a month here, but with this little money, we can live an ordinary life. We can't go hungry, but we are not rich. When we arrive in the colonies, not only the wages are a few yuan more, The most important thing is the loan after one year, even if it is government land, you can apply for it first and pay later.”

What Ding Dashuan said is actually a special preferential condition given by the colony to attract Ming people. After working for one year, you can first apply to the government for a piece of 1500 mu of land, and then you can use the land as mortgage to apply for 1500 yuan from the bank. With the loan, the next thing couldn’t be easier. Once you have land and money, you can apply for native labor from the government. The government will help coordinate 200 laborers, hire a few supervisors, reclaim the rainforest, and build plantations. As long as they survive the first 3-4 years of oil palm fruiting, the penniless wage earners will become plantation owners.

In fact, there is no need to support them at all, because the banks are very happy to provide them with loans. After all, plantations in the colonies are the most profitable business.Moreover, it is also the responsibility of the government to support Ming immigrants to make a fortune.

"But, Brother Ding, we don't know where Africa is. If we just pass by, what good results can we get? What if I say what if, when we get there, it's different from what we thought?"

Zhao Yujiang took a sip of wine, and then said a little uncertainly.

"Leave it here, at least everything is safe."

"That's right, Brother Ding, we are just a group of ordinary people, we can live a peaceful life, we don't want to get rich, you see, now the factory also buys some kind of endowment insurance for us, that is, we wait until we retire at the age of 65. Sometimes I can get a pension from the emperor and his old man. There is hope in this day. I heard that there is no such thing in the colony..."

Li Dongchun's agreement made Zhao Yujiang agree for a while. Daming's side is a good day visible to the naked eye. Even if they are not married yet, they can work hard for another year or two, and then directly marry a "contract maid", and then You can apply for a house, have children, and finally the wife and children have a big family. How comfortable are these days.

Even if you get old in the future and can no longer work, when you reach the age of 65, you will still have a pension to live on.If you don't live such a comfortable life, if you insist on going outside, you are asking for trouble!

For the vast majority of ordinary people, their requirements are not high. It is nothing more than An Ansheng's life and getting rich, without even thinking about it.

"Hey……"

What the brothers said made Ding Dashuan speechless.He took a sip of "Victory Wine" sullenly, then poured another glass for each of them, and finally poured himself another glass, and finally raised the glass and said.

"Everyone has his own ambition, and no one can force it. If that's the case, then let's do it."

After drinking a glass of wine, Ding Dashuan picked up the beef on the plate with his chopsticks. The palm-sized beef was very enjoyable to eat. When he was in the Qing Dynasty, he never thought that he could eat meat and drink every day. It is reasonable to live like this People should be satisfied.

But Ding Dashuan wanted more, and then he stopped talking about these topics, but drank wine with them and chatted about things in the factory and his hometown.When Zhao Yujiang and Li Dongchun arrived at the factory in the early morning of the next day, they unexpectedly learned that Ding Dashuan had resigned from his job just last night.

"Hey, I'm still leaving..."

Thinking that they didn't see him in the dormitory in the morning, the two couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity, An Sheng, who was put here, has to go there in his life. What if something goes wrong, hey, not to mention that people haven't made a fortune, maybe there will be no people left."

Two days later, Ding Dashuan had boarded a cargo ship bound for Madita City, which was a cargo ship of China-Africa Company.Ships transport various commodities such as palm oil, rubber, and logs from Madita, and then transport them back to Daming for industrial products.Of course, the immigrants would also take cargo ships to Madita, but not many people were willing to go to the colony from Daming. After all, not many people were willing to give up their peaceful lives.

People are like this, most of the time they always choose comfort.

More than ten days later, after the ship entered the port of Madita, at the customs registration office, the customs officer took a special look at Ding Dashuan.

"Come here from Xinyouzhou?"

"Yes."

The customs officer looked at him seriously, and then said.

"There are not many people who are willing to go from the country to the colony, but I can tell you that you are definitely right to come here. If you register, it is estimated that you will be able to go to the plantation in two days at most. First follow the people and learn how to manage the plantation. , at most one or two years, you will have your own garden, don't worry, with the support of the government and the bank, are you afraid that things won't work?"

A simple sentence, the information revealed, made Ding Dashuan nod his head again and again.

"Hey, hey, thank you sir, thank you sir, don't worry, I will study hard when I get there."

"Where is your hometown?"

"My hometown is Shanxi, what is your hometown, my lord?"

"It's a bit far away. I'm from Jiangsu, and that Chen Erqiang's family is from Shanxi. I'll tell someone later that you can go to him. They are all from the same township, so it can be regarded as a help."

In this way, Ding Dashuan came to Chen Erqiang's plantation. As soon as he arrived in the garden, although he didn't understand anything, he followed the rules and immediately became a supervisor. Of course, his supervisor was different from ordinary supervisors.

"Da Shuan, they are all from my own family. I have to say something. You stay in my garden. The most important thing is to learn to manage people. The work in this plantation is hard to say. The most important thing is to manage people. People, employing people, how to use labor and how to use supervisors are all knowledge. As for the work of planting and oil extraction, when you have your own garden, just take a few supervisors from me. The key is to Manage people..."

After some exhortations, Chen Erqiang emphasized again.

"Don't be so busy saying thank you, fellow villagers return to fellow villagers. If I think you can't leave the garden if you haven't studied well, let alone one year, it's three to five years. We can't let you go out and do it alone, and it will harm the bank. Not to mention money, the key is Chen Erqiang's reputation, this is the rule, if you leave me, we will be responsible, understand!"

"I know, what the boss said is reasonable, we just put the boss as an apprentice, if you can't learn it, naturally you can't go out."

"That's fine, you understand, you can go with Zuo Teng first, that kid is smart, he is a good seed for a foreman, when you go out in the future, you can take him with you... that's right,"

Before leaving, Chen Erqiang said again.

"Look more, learn more, and listen more. As for the rough and heavy work, let them do it. We don't need to work hard..."
