Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 344 Rubber Forest

At the same time, after Lan Gang learned that Chu Xiangqiang's horse had won a championship, his heart moved and he also thought of going to London to celebrate Chu Xiangqiang and take his wife on a trip.

As soon as the idea came up, I called Fei Bo as soon as possible.

The two of them murmured for a while, and also wanted to take leave to go to London for a few days.

Even Lei Luo wanted to join him.

After Lei Luo and Bai Yuechang picked up their luggage, they arrived at the airport and met up with Lan Gang, his wife, and Fei Bo. After boarding the plane, they immediately ran into Ge Bai and others.

Before the surprised Ge Bai could speak, Lan Gang said directly, "Director, are you also invited by A Chu?"

FK, Ge Bai and others started to curse in their hearts, while Lei Luo and Fei Bo kept muttering in their hearts, secretly thinking that this bastard Lan Gang was really brave.

But it makes sense to think about it. This kid has the best relationship with Chu Qianqian. If he asks Chu Qianqian to cover him, A Chu will definitely not expose him.

After everyone was done on the plane, Fei Bo immediately pulled Lan Gang, who was sitting next door, and asked, "Have you contacted Master Chu?"

Lan Gang scratched his head helplessly and whispered, "I went to find Zhang Tianzhi and Wrinkle Huai, and they promised to send a telegram to Achu."

Fei Bo immediately cursed in a low voice, praying in his heart that Chu Xiangqian had really received the telegram and would pick everyone up at the airport.

Otherwise, the secret will be exposed immediately when the plane lands in London.

Fortunately, Zhang Tianzhi and Wrinkle Huai are relatively reliable, and given the aircraft of today, even the Boeing 707, which was officially delivered for commercial operation only the year before last, had to stop four times for refueling if it wanted to cross 2 kilometers.

By the time Lan Gang and others' plane arrived over London, it was already around 10 a.m. on the third day.

Chu Xiangqian was already sitting in the VIP lounge, with Simmons, Mia and Simmons' son Robert standing next to him.

After Chu Xiangqian received the telegram, he just smiled and shook his head, then called Simmons and booked all 6 rooms in his hotel.

And he himself moved into the villa on Huayuan Street yesterday.

Margaret is still very efficient. She packed up the villa in just two days and bought a new big bed and various daily necessities.

Even the housekeeper of the villa recommended Mr. Hawkins, the retired old housekeeper of his manor.

Chu Xiangqian followed the habit of using the familiar rather than the unfamiliar, even though he knew that Hawkins would most likely accept some special tasks.

But Chu Xiangqian knew better that unless he didn't even hire servants, no matter who he hired as a housekeeper or servant in the villa, he would be contacted and even recruited by England's special departments.

In this case, it is better to accept Margaret's suggestion and hire the 200-year-old Hawkins as a housekeeper with a monthly salary of 61 pounds.

After the old man took office, a cook, a gardener, a driver and two maids came to the villa that day.

And these people are all from Margaret's estate.

There is no problem in saying that certain professions in England are hereditary.The children of housekeepers will basically attend housekeeper schools, and those who pass the test will be re-employed by the master's family.

Those who are not hired will apply to other companies.

This situation is even more common for housekeepers and servants of the royal family and nobles.

At 10:20 in the morning, Old Hawkins, who went to confirm the landing time of the flight, walked back quickly and said, "SIR, the flight will land in 15 minutes."

Chu nodded forward, stood up and straightened his suit. As he followed Old Hawkins to the airport, he asked him, "How many days will it take to design and expand the stables on the ranch?"

Hawkins thought for a while, "The design drawings should be sent to you tomorrow. As for the project, a stable capable of raising 20 horses can be built within a week."

Chu Qianqian was startled, secretly wondering, when did the efficiency of the British become so high?
Hawkins smiled and explained, "Sir, although you ask that the stables must be modernized, to be honest, horse racing in England is too popular.

Many construction companies have already had mature design plans. "

Chu Xiangqian understood it as soon as he heard it. He took out the old stable drawings and started working directly.

Chu Xiangqian's idea of ​​rebuilding the stables at the ranch was very simple. Thoroughbreds, sweat-blooded horses and other types of horses were raised in London, Xiangjiang, future American ranches, and even Da'ao's ranches.

In the future, I will be a legitimate Malaysian owner.

Moreover, the four places were so far apart that no one suspected or bothered to investigate the matter of transporting horses between them.

I will release more horses in the game in the future, and I will have enough excuses to deal with the outside world and the employees of my own racecourse.

Of course, the ranch will not only raise horses.

Raise some cattle and sheep, and rely on the profits from the cattle and sheep to maintain the expenses of the pasture.

If managed properly, it is not difficult to make money by raising cattle and sheep.

Not to mention that the game now refreshes 6 cows and 10 sheep every day.

Yesterday, Chu Xiangqian rented a trailer specifically for transporting cattle and sheep, and sent 12 cows and 20 sheep to the pasture.

When the workers in the ranch saw this, they felt completely relieved.

If ranchers are willing to invest, it means that the future of the ranch is promising.

Chu Xiangqian also took advantage of the situation and asked people to carry the bronzes and antique boxes that Norton and his people had delivered to the ranch a few days ago into the car.

The second batch of antiques purchased from Gerald Groner included 20 boxes.

Chu Qianqian drove the car out of the ranch and parked it on a deserted road. He got out of the car and entered the trailer to check everything.

The mood was so exciting. Norton was really attentive this time. There were 32 bronze items, and the lowest gold coupon had 46 points.

Moreover, the value of this batch of antiques and bronzes was apparently 20 pounds, but actually exceeded 40 pounds.

So much so that all the antiques selected are of high quality.

There are even 7 pieces of Tang Sancai, 4 of which are a set of 30 horses.

According to the market price, if these seven pieces of Tang Sancai were auctioned in the United States, they would cost at least 7 to [-] US dollars each.

These seven antiques are worth 7 to 7 pounds at this moment.

Chu Xiangqian felt excited but helpless.

In fact, Chinese people are not very enthusiastic about and pursue Tang Sancai, and they will not even give Tang Sancai to others.

In 1905, when the Luoyang-Kaifeng railway was being built, the three-color artifacts found in the ancient tombs were transported to the Liulichang antique market in Beijing by cultural relic dealers. They thought they could make a lot of money, but no one cared about them.

Because this thing is a dark weapon in the eyes of the Chinese people.Occasionally, someone might even dig it up and break it into pieces with a hoe.

On the contrary, ghosts, especially Americans, are enthusiastic about Tang Sancai.

As early as the 30s, there was a three-color horse that sold for US$9.

And Chu Qianqian and Norton just bullied Gerald, and this time they completely wiped out all the precious Chinese antiques in his house.

120件山水画。300件瓷器。12块玉佩。4件玉如意、24个玉和翡翠扳指，8对玉和翡翠手镯。

Chu Xiangqian was playing with a piece in his hand, which he determined to be a mutton-fat white jade Pixiu handle from the mid-Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, the experts invited by Norton confirmed again and again that this Pixiu hand had never been buried in the ground.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian be willing to hold it in his hand and play with it.

When 20 boxes entered the Novice Village warehouse, the aperture outside the village expanded by 150 meters again.

Although the gold coupons obtained this time were less than last time, and there were more than 2 fewer items, the value of 120 landscape paintings and 300 pieces of porcelain was much higher than the more than 700 pieces obtained by the Mountbatten family last time.

After the aperture continued to expand by 150 meters, Chu Xiangqian entered Novice Village. His first thought was to ride a red rabbit and run towards the hills to the west of the village.

The tits also rushed up to the sky and began to explore the new land to see how many new wild monsters appeared in it.

The number of bears in the west of the village increased by three more. Chu Qianqian rode a horse and easily pulled the kite with a bow and arrow, killing them all with a few arrows.Now there are 3 bears in the game every day.

Chu Xiangqian didn't know how he could sell so many bears. He could only keep them in the warehouse.

The tits flew around the hills to the west and north of the village, and there were four more iron mines.

The daily iron ore production has increased from 3 tons to 6 tons, but when you think about it, one ton is only 11 US dollars, which is only 66 US dollars per day.

Chu Qianqian shook his head helplessly.

Of course, if you keep all the iron ore, the price will definitely rise a lot in a few decades.

But decades later, Chu Xiangqian was confident that he would not need to make money from iron ore at all.

Even give him time, maybe buy a real iron ore area directly in Brazil or Dao.

But the more Chu Xiangqian thought about it, the more he felt that the price of iron ore must be wrong.

Even Chu Xiangqian felt that Qian Guotai was lying to him.

It's just that if Qian Guotai really lied to himself, he couldn't deceive himself with such a lie that would be exposed as soon as he inquired about it.

Chu previously decided immediately that he would have to find someone to ask again after leaving Novice Village.

There is a high probability that Qian Guotai himself made a mistake.

Or when asking someone he knew, the other person reported the wrong price or the wrong unit.

Otherwise, 1 tons only costs 11 US dollars, and the 1368 million tons of steel produced in China last year cost only 15 US dollars.

Just thinking about it makes me realize that this is absolutely impossible.

I wanted to leave Novice Village now, but after thinking about it, I decided to see all the newly added land in Novice Village first.

He was about to let the tits fly south to see if new wild monsters appeared on the grassland. Suddenly, a large forest of identical trees attracted Chu Xiangqian's attention.

Riding Red Rabbit, he quickly circled around. After looking at it for a while, Chu Xiangqian didn't even recognize the 500 trees in this area. What kind of trees were they?

After much deliberation, I simply used the gathering technique on a tree.

In the portable storage compartment, 10 kilograms of granular things immediately appeared.

Taking out a dozen of them and squeezing them in his hand, Chu Xiangqian felt something in his mind. Damn it, wouldn't it be able to produce rubber particles?
Rubber is the rarest thing in China, and Boss Wang, the former owner of Baofeng Building, opened a rain boots and raincoat factory on Hong Kong Island.

Chu Xiangqian still knew the rubber price at this time.

Good natural rubber is basically 120 pounds per ton, and if it is processed into granular form, it is 125 pounds to 130 pounds per ton.

Chu Qianqian hurriedly dismounted, and kept using the gathering technique on the rubber trees around him.

In the portable storage compartment, clumps of rubber particles each weighing 10 kilograms kept appearing.

After collecting hundreds of trees, Chu Xiangqian cursed helplessly.

It took me more than half an hour to collect ore from four iron ore areas.

Now there are 8 iron ore mines, and we have to spend more than an hour on them every day, but 6 tons can be sold for only 66 US dollars.

If we collect rubber trees one by one, the effort and time consumed will be too uneconomical.

It would be nice if the secret passage could be upgraded with collection skills.

This game is rarely smart for once. A prompt pops up saying that 10 points of gold coupons can be upgraded to intermediate collection skills, 100 points to advanced level, and 1000 points to full level.

Chu Xiangqian didn't hesitate at all now and used the 1110 gold coupons.

The range of the collection technique suddenly changed from one piece to one piece.

Chu Xiangqian tried it several times and quickly determined that the maximum level of the collection technique would extend its range to a radius of 10 meters.

That is a circle with a diameter of 20 meters.

The remaining 400 rubber trees were collected in only a dozen times.

The 500 trees gave Chu Qianqian a full 5 tons of natural rubber pellets.

130 pounds per ton, 5 tons is 650 pounds, and 1825 tons a year does not seem to be much.But if all were sold, the total would be 23.725 pounds.

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, it’s nearly 380 million.

When Chu Xiangqian thought about giving all the rubber to the mainland, he immediately felt reluctant to part with it.

I'd better keep the secret passage for myself. When I save three to five hundred tons, I can sell it all at once.

If the mainland really has no money, then it would be embarrassing and it would be sold directly to businessmen on Hong Kong Island.

Maybe when people from the mainland hear that new rubber appears on the market, they will come to buy it themselves.

After all, it’s not like the mainland doesn’t have goods to export. They spend money to buy rubber from Southeast Asia, so there’s no reason why they should give it away to themselves.

He left the woods on horseback and came to the grassland south of the village.

Even though the aperture has only expanded by 150 meters, the actual increased land area is many times larger than the last time it was increased by more than 200 meters.

Not only did 3 cows and 3 sheep refresh points appear, there were also 2 horse refresh points.

At every spawn point for cows and horses, 3 will be spawned.

For sheep, there are 5 heads.

In addition to the previous 2 cow refresh points, 2 sheep refresh points, and 1 horse refresh point next to the stable.

Now 15 cows, 9 horses and 25 sheep can be refreshed every day.

This alone strengthened Chu Qianqian's determination to become a large rancher.

At the same time, the amount of experience points that can be obtained every day has also increased from 5100 points to 8150 points.

Chu Qianqian looked at his experience, which was already level 11, 14.89/15.

He immediately took out his bow and arrow, and targeted 6 of the 5 newly spawned horses, killing them all by name.

Then he tied the remaining Andalusian horse with a rope and led it back to the stable.

After sending the horse into the stable, he patted it with him, and Chu Qianqian's eyes lit up.

This Andalucian horse, with its dark and shiny coat, actually has a three-dimensional constitution of 1.4, strength of 1.4, and agility of 1.3.

Chu Xiangqian thought confidently that the three-dimensional dimensions of the batch of pure white Andalusian horses given to Margaret seemed to be 1.4 in constitution, 1.1 in strength, and 1.2 in agility.

The physique is the same, but 1.4 is already pretty good.

The champion knight's physique is also 1.4, and only the previous all-black Hanover's physique reached 1.5.

And this Andalusian horse's power of 1.4 is the highest among all Chu Xiangqian's horses.

Except, of course, heavy draft horses like the Shire.

Chu reached forward and touched the neck of the all-black Andalusian horse, secretly thinking that if this horse is well trained, let alone the dressage competition.

Even if he goes to participate in the obstacle course, he is still a first-class horse.
