Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 409 Something completely unexpected

Chu Xiangqian’s idea was that it would be best if Novice Village could produce trolley bags.

If that doesn't work, if you give them enough money, Mainland Storage will urgently produce dozens of boxes according to your requirements.

Fortunately, the game is quite powerful, after all, the previous swing stick can also be produced.

In the jewelry store, Chu Xiangqian used a piece of sheepskin, an iron ingot, a long wooden block and 1 gold coupon to produce a 60 x 40 centimeter pull rod box with double pulleys.

Chu Xiangqian tried it himself. Not only was the steel ball pulley very smooth, but the weight of the steel tie rod was not as heavy as expected.

However, after all, it is made of wood plus steel and sheepskin, so the weight of the box is still about two kilograms heavier than the future box.

But for a suitcase of this era, an extra two kilograms is nothing.

A total of 50 boxes of 5 sizes were produced in a row.

On the afternoon of the third day, when these boxes were placed in front of Hader and others, the eight ghost guys were all happy after trying them out.

Hahn even directly said that if the cost was not expensive, he would simply let someone else do the manufacturing.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head and refused. Although there were not many gold coupons, he only had 5.5 points.

Even if a box sells for 100 pounds, the 5.5 gold coupons are only 550 million pounds.

Moreover, since it can be produced in reality, it is not cost-effective for Chu Xiangqian to exchange 1 gold coupon for 100 pounds.

Chu Qianqian looked at Hader and others and said, "Although it is urgent work, the price is several times more expensive. But even if it is produced normally, there is still a processing fee of 10 pounds.

Adding the cost of materials, it comes to twenty or thirty pounds.

And if the mainland just helps us produce a few samples, they won't make much money, and Americans won't care.

But once mass production occurs, it means tens of thousands or tens of thousands.

When the Americans and our competitors know that we have created hundreds of thousands of pounds in profits for China, they will definitely make a fuss about this matter.

Moreover, we want to improve the brand value and actual valuation of the luggage company, so our own production is an indispensable part.

Otherwise no one would value a shell OEM company at several million pounds. "

Hader and others nodded after hearing this. The future market value of the new company will also be a major source of money.

No one trades convenience for the sake of convenience.

After confirming that there was no problem with the 50 boxes, Harder and others immediately suggested chartering a flight back to London to watch the second leg of the Triple Crown a week later.

Chu Xiangqian naturally had no objection to this, but there were still matters that he had not yet finished.

We can only ask Hader and others who have time to take 50 boxes to London and hand them over to Margaret.

Since advertising is required, the royal family is naturally the most effective.

He is even willing to spend money to qualify for one of the royal family's designated purchases.

When Chu Xiangqian called Margaret, he specifically mentioned this matter. Margaret herself said that she would not be paid for her help.

But if you want to get royal recognition, it's not just about passing quality standards.

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile that after winning the second race, the third race would have to wait until September anyway, so he might as well let Champion Knight breed a few offspring with other purebred mares.

When Margaret heard this, she muttered that she had to decide this matter.

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that Margaret, a little girl, would definitely do something for public benefit.

Let the mare under your name bear the offspring of the champion knight first.

As long as it doesn't delay your own business, it's not impossible to let her decide.

After the chat was almost finished, Margaret quickly asked Chu Xiangqian when he would go to London.

Otherwise, she would have wanted to fly to Hong Kong Island and stay for a few days.

Chu Xiangqian said hurriedly, "My dear, I will definitely fly over when the things on Hong Kong Island are finished."

Margaret then let Chu Qianqian go.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Qianqian shook his head helplessly, and then drove to Kwai Chung Pier.

First, collect all the grain in the grain warehouse and the wood used for cover into the Novice Village warehouse. Otherwise, when the expansion starts here, the dock will have to be closed for some time.

However, Chu Xiangqian is overthinking this time. The expansion of the terminal will not close the existing terminal. Otherwise, the price of goods on Hong Kong Island will 100% increase a lot.

Therefore, large-scale wharf areas will include Pier 1, Pier 2, and Pier 3. In the future, Kwai Chung Pier will cover an area of ​​279 hectares, with a total of nine wharf areas.

In the first decade of the new century, it once became the second largest container port in the world in terms of throughput.

After taking away the grain from the two grain warehouses, Chu Xiangqian waited for more than ten minutes in the dock office area, and Linda also came over with someone.

Seeing Chu Qianqian, the girl's face lit up with joy, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly for a while, then complained, "I heard you've been back for two or three days, but you're so cruel that you haven't even looked for him. Me and Alyssa.”

Chu Qianqian smiled and patted Linda on the back, "When the matter of this batch of food is finished, I will go to your place to spend the night."

Linda was immediately very motivated, and there was no need for Chu Qianqian to handle the entry and exit of the port and the transshipment of the cargo ship.

As soon as the ship arrived at the port, Linda directly spent her money to buy the 1.2-ton cargo ship.

After completing the entry and exit procedures, the ship will leave for Tianjin tomorrow carrying 5250 tons of rice and a batch of about 4 tons of goods from other cargo owners.

Then it stopped in Tianmen for three days, and then returned to Hong Kong Island with the first batch of 2 bicycles, 1 radios, 1 watches and 2 sewing machines.

Chu Xiangqian now truly recognized Linda's ability.

During her return to the capital, this woman not only used the connections between Charles and others to get through the customs on Hong Kong Island, but she also memorized most of the rules and regulations on import and export.

They even paid for a customs chief inspector to serve as a consultant to the import and export company.

In other words, if you have any problems, just go to the ghost guy directly.

Chu Xiangqian was willing to pay the consulting fee of HK$5 a year.It even feels cheap.

When Linda heard this, she said angrily, “Dear, they don’t just provide services to us.

As far as I know, this chief inspector of customs only provides technical guidance to more than [-] companies, and his income exceeds one million Hong Kong dollars.

If a ship or cargo is seized, the price of help starts at 5.

I heard that the money his boss earns every year is several times that of him. "

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, his eyes lit up. It was no secret that contraband meant high profits.

I just thought about it. I have a warehouse in Novice Village. If I really want to carry prohibited items, I don’t have to go by sea.

Just fly there and bring it back yourself.

However, the large amount of prohibited items coming in means that there are very few people investigating this matter, and they may even be bribed as well.

This is good news.

No wonder no one cares about the warehouse where the grain is stored for several months, let alone checks when the grain in the warehouse was transported.

It's normal to think about it. If you really want to check, the first thing you will look at is definitely the prohibited items.

As for the grain that enters the port and warehouse, the customs has no interest at all, and there is no need to check it again.Arriving at the Hua'an Building in Jordan, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Alyssa, who had heard the noise. She was wearing tight-fitting shorts and short sleeves. She ran over excitedly and jumped into her arms.

He hugged his neck and kissed her.

Behind her, Linda smiled and hugged Chu Qianqian from behind.

Not long after, the command to contact Yoga came from the house.

Linda and Alyssa are indeed beauties from India, and their yoga skills surprised even Chu Xiangqian.

However, the yoga level of the two is actually higher than that of Alyssa.

Because Linda has work, she will practice with Alyssa for half an hour in the morning and evening.

Now, in addition to shopping and studying cooking, Alyssa now practices three times in the morning, noon and evening, for an hour each time.

It can be said that although she is a bit homely, the amount of exercise and the effect of exercise are not small at all.

So much so that Alyssa's breathing function, limb strength, and metabolic function are much better than those of ordinary women.

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought, the two sisters really have a clear division of labor.

One uses ability to gain attention for oneself, and the other uses beauty, food and a healthy and active life to attract oneself.

Moreover, practicing yoga all year round has the effect of slowing down aging.

This is the same as exercising all the year round and getting older slowly.

I just don’t know why, but yoga has the strongest effect.

Chu Xiangqian remembered that he had a cousin in his previous life who had been practicing yoga for more than ten years. She was in her 60s and looked only in her 40s.

And it was obvious that she was in good spirits.

Thinking of this, after applauding for love with Linda and Alyssa, Chu Xiangqian simply asked Alyssa for advice half an hour after dinner.

After experiencing it personally, Chu Qianqian quickly felt that this thing could effectively stretch his muscles and bones.

Martial arts training itself is very particular. Strong muscles and bones mean strong strength.Yong Chu Xiangqian’s own understanding is that his core strength is strong.

By the way, it can also exercise the lungs to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, many people understand the truth, but few can stick to it.

After washing up and going to bed at night, Alyssa, a girl who was indeed young and energetic, actually took the initiative to provoke Chu Qianqian in the bathroom.

After a fierce battle, Alyssa finally had to ask Linda for help, and then she could barely deal with Chu Qianqian's offensive.

The next day, Chu Xiangqian drove to Causeway Bay. The drug store was still being renovated. Qian Guotai was staring at the decoration here as always.

Seeing Chu Qianqian walking in, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

After chatting for a while, I learned that this place would be ready to open in three to five days at most, and then whispered, "Your uncle has taken over the command of Dapeng Bay and Dongpingzhou.

Also, another batch of medicinal materials has been shipped from above and will arrive at Kwai Chung Pier in the next two days.

If you are free these days, it is best to send this month's food to Dongpingzhou as soon as possible. "

Chu nodded forward. The grain transported inland from Dongpingzhou has become the rations of a certain army in the south.

After all, in addition to rice and breadfruit, I also put a lot of meat on the small island in Dapeng Bay during the first three times and the second and third times.

Only soldiers who supplement enough protein can cope with rigorous training.

Chu Xiangqian was also happy to let the military bosses in the south owe him a favor.

Moreover, the food and meat transported from the island have long been determined by the superiors and will be offset by medicinal materials and even finished Chinese medicine.

When high-quality medicinal materials are shipped to Hong Kong Island, their sales prices are much higher than those in the mainland.

This is a win-win situation, and Chu Xiangqian is naturally willing to maintain this deal.

Of course, in order to repay Chu Xiangqian, the purchase price given to him by the superiors was calculated based on 9% off the purchase price of local pharmacies on Hong Kong Island from the mainland.

Door-to-door delivery was also provided. After all, the island Chu Xiangqian chose was only a few kilometers away from the mainland, so it was almost door-to-door delivery.

As for the medicinal materials Chu Xiangqian obtained, the superiors didn't care how much they could be sold for on Hong Kong Island.

In fact, the prices of medicinal materials are similar in every pharmacy.

"By the way, yesterday I had someone go through the procedures for transferring 5250 tons of rice to Tianjin. The cargo ship will leave today and arrive at Tianjin Port in about four days."

Qian Guotai was overjoyed. Previously, Chu Xiangqian's 20 to 30 jins of rice and millions of jins of breadfruit per month had saved the mainland from having to provide rations for an army of tens of thousands.

The saved food is distributed below, which is equivalent to giving tens of thousands of ordinary people who are short of food a chance to survive.

Now the supply of grain has suddenly increased from 5 to [-] tons to more than [-] tons. I believe that the pressure on the grain supply in the capital will be less.

When Chu Qianqian saw this, he was secretly proud of himself. He could be regarded as having countless living people and thousands of families having Buddhas.

"By the way, the superiors have now realized that the drought may continue for another year. We want to import 150 million tons of various grains before the end of the year.

The only question is who to buy from and how to pay. "

Chu nodded forward. After thinking about it during this period, he also guessed that no one above him expected that this drought would last for three years.

"What do you need me to do?"

Chu Qianqian said this, but he thought in his heart that if he didn't give money or other things in exchange, he would definitely drag it on.

And to be honest, if the 5250 tons of grain per month were maintained until 62, 6.3 tons of grain would be sent to China every year.

In addition to the 100 million kilograms of breadfruit delivered to Dapeng Bay islands every month, that is 500 tons of breadfruit.

30 tons of rice and 2 tons of dried sweet potatoes shipped from Luzon Island.

Another 3.036 tons of grain are produced every year.

The total adds up to 9.336 tons, which is an astonishing number for an individual.

Fortunately, these grains were not donated. In exchange for medicinal materials, bicycles and other light industrial products, jade, and antiques, not only were there no losses, but there was also profit.

Unexpectedly, Qian Guotai shook his head, "The superiors know that you have tried your best, and to be honest, we don't know what to trade with you for more grain."

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but roll his eyes. If he hadn't learned from Standard Chartered that the trade volume between Hong Kong Island and the mainland in 59 was HK$11.48 billion,
Imports amounted to HK$10.34 billion,
Exports were only HK$0.09 million. I didn’t know that Hong Kong imported more than HK$10 billion of mainland products last year.

But I only bought HK$900 million worth of things from Hong Kong Island.

In other words, China actually has a lot of Hong Kong dollars in its hands.

Even though it is likely to be used to buy urgently needed important supplies, and money is indeed needed everywhere, the money used to buy food should be able to be squeezed out.

However, do some careful calculation and take the food grains you bought from Odisha as an example.

5 tons will cost 220 million Hong Kong dollars, and 150 million tons will cost 6.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

Just thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian felt that it was difficult for the higher-ups to get so much.

Even basically impossible.
