Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 424 It’s really troublesome to do something

Chu nodded forward and pretended to throw the darts in his hand.

Hitting the 5th ring on the wooden target 8 meters away, Kumiko and Olivia looked at it with envy in their eyes.

Fortunately, I remembered that Chu Xiangqian had said that he could throw knives, and the envy in his heart quickly dropped.

From now on, Chu Xiangqian's knowledge of ninja-specific hidden weapons will no longer be a secretly learned skill in the eyes of Ao Zunu.

After taking the towel handed over by Kumiko and wiping his face and hands, Chu Xiangqian entered the villa and changed into a suit.

Kumiko and Olivia acted like maids, helping him dress the whole process, and even had no problem killing the two female ninjas on the spot as long as Chu Xiangqian was willing.

Chu Qianqian drove to his old place. After meeting Ichiro Matsuno, Matsuno took out a stack of photos and placed them in front of Chu Qianqian.

"Chu Sheng, all the immediate family members of the Ishihara family are here."

Chu Xiangqian picked up the photo and flipped through it, then quickly put it down with a frown. The photo was really disgusting.

"Your efficiency is quite high."

Unexpectedly, Matsuno Ichiro shook his head and said, "To be precise, my brother Mashin personally led the team on this mission."

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian understood that it was Matsuno Shinobu who felt threatened, so he went all out to complete this commission.

However, if the action is rushed and the plan is not thorough, the casualties may be high.

Looking away at Matsuno Ichiro and seeing a faint smile in his eyes, Chu Xiangqian immediately understood that his guess might be right.

Otherwise, Matsuno Ichiro should not be happy at this moment, but worried that his future situation will become more and more difficult.

Chu Xiangqian asked knowingly, "Why do you seem so happy to me?"

Matsuno Ichiro was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his cheek, "Is it so obvious?"

Chu nodded forward, "It seems that although this operation was successful, there were some unforeseen circumstances that were detrimental to your brother?"

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian had guessed it, Ichiro Matsuno didn't hide it, and said with a slight upward smile, "5 people were seriously injured in this operation, 3 of them were disabled. 2 people died. And if my father hadn't brought people with him, etc. next to.

Maybe the eldest son of the Ishihara family will escape.

And if he escapes, we'll all be in trouble. "

Chu nodded forward. The resources the eldest son had at his disposal were certainly not comparable to those of the other brothers.

Once he escapes, he will definitely seek revenge from Aozunu immediately, and then seek revenge from himself, the person who issued the mission.

Of course, there is also the possibility of Dongzang XZ being hunted by Aozunu.

Now that the people were cleaned up, Chu Xiangqian's mood suddenly improved.

I threw 2 Hong Kong dollars to Ichiro Matsuno, "Relax for a few days, but don't make trouble."

"Hi", Matsuno Ichiro is not a fool. He naturally knows that the attitude of Hong Kong Island locals towards islanders is mostly hatred.

After everything returned to normal, Chu Xiangqian drove the yacht to Dapeng Bay that night.

Titmouse flew over early and checked around the island for more than an hour to make sure there was no one there and there were no boats on the nearby sea.

Even on the opposite inland, Chu Xiangqian directed the tits to fly over and check the surrounding dozens of kilometers to make sure that no one was using telescopes or anything to check the island.

Then he drove the yacht with confidence and arrived near the island during the night.

Because there was no dock, Chu Xiangqian could only swim to the island and put 53.1 kilograms of rice on the island.

Previously, I bought 58.2 jins of rice from Wanwan, and another 60 jins from Vietnam.

Baifanyu also helped bring in 48 kilograms from Luzon Island.

The first few shipments of rice to the island were 29.1 jins, 24 jins once, and 30 jins the third time.

It means that every time he gets rice, Chu Qianqian keeps half of it.

This time, only 30 kilograms of rice was left in the warehouse for backup. I believe that these 53.1 kilograms of rice are enough to praise Xue Jianrong, who is squatting on Dongpingzhou.

They also skinned all the 580 wolves and foxes that had been stored for more than half a year and made them into dried meat. Even the leg bones and other things were kept and piled together.

The dried meat alone weighs almost 3 kilograms.

Another 3 kilograms of dried fish were put in, which is almost the monthly output of large fish produced in the game.

In the end, of course, it was 75 tons per month, which is 15 kilograms of breadfruit.

I planned to swim back to the yacht, but I simply released the 15 cows and 35 sheep that I produced in one day and tied them to the trees with leather ropes.

Among these cows and sheep, there are few males and many females. There should be no problem if they are raised on Dongping Island.

After all, Dongping Island is not small. The tits flew around and saw that at least a quarter of the island was covered with green plants.

This batch of supplies is enough to feed nearly 2 soldiers for a month.

And because there are 3 kilograms of dried meat and 3 kilograms of dried fish, the troops can maintain a certain intensity of training without draining the soldiers' bodies.

On the way back on the yacht, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but wonder, should he find a few absolutely trustworthy people to help him transport food every month?
I remembered that Tung Lung Island, which I bought a large piece of land not far from Clear Water Bay and Chai Wan, was actually not far from Tung Ping Chau.

The sailing only takes about 2 hours. Perhaps in the future, the supplies delivered to the island every month can be placed on Tung Lung Chau on Hong Kong Island.

Then our own people from the mainland will be responsible for transporting it to Dongpingzhou by ship.

However, within a few seconds of the thought coming out, Chu Xiangqian rejected it.

Anyway, the food shortage in the mainland has only lasted for two years, and now the channels for purchasing food have been established.Even if you find it troublesome, you can send three months' worth of supplies to the island at once every three months instead of once a month.

The yacht returned to the yacht dock. Chu Qianqian got off the boat, drove to a public phone booth and called Qian Guotai.

Qian Guotai couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that this month's supplies had been shipped to the previous island.

Then the news was secretly passed to Xue Jianrong on Dongpingzhou.

Xue Jianrong, who was responsible for transporting supplies back for the first time, felt nervous.

While the soldiers drove four fishing boats out to pick up and deliver supplies, Xue Jianrong, who was waiting in the telegraph room, kept walking back and forth anxiously.

Others in the telegraph room watched and became nervous.

Fortunately, everything was normal. After all, we had done the moving work three times before, and the British and marine police didn't have the guts to come here to patrol.

And I heard a telegram from the soldiers saying that there was about twice as much food as before, and 15 cattle and 35 sheep were left behind.

Xue Jianrong knew as soon as he heard it that it was probably a congratulatory gift for him to come to Dongpingzhou and take office.The committee members, who knew a little but very little, looked at Xue Jianrong in surprise and wondered, could it be that the comrade who had been helping us transport supplies really had something to do with Comrade Xue?
Xue Jianrong naturally would not leave the cattle and sheep in Dongpingzhou. The next morning, he loaded them all on the ship, crossed the sea and landed. Then he watched the convoy leave with the supplies, and then boarded the ship and returned to Dongpingzhou.

The 5250 tons of grain have also been transported to Tianjin Port. With these 1050 million kilograms of rice, it is equivalent to three more days of food rations for the more than 700 million people in the capital.

Although three days may seem like a small amount of time, it actually greatly eased the pressure on the capital's food demand.

Moreover, according to the purchase agreement for bicycles and other light industrial products signed by Chu Xiangqian and the superior, the same amount of rice will be shipped every month until the end of this year.

It is equivalent to reducing the supply of food to the capital from other places. It is not an exaggeration to say that Chu Xiangqian has countless living people.
-
On the second morning after Chu Xiangqian returned to Hong Kong Island, the sweat horse specially selected by the interface for Lei Luo had arrived. Waiting for Baifanyu, Lei Luo, and Bai Yuechang, who also wanted to see the excitement after hearing the news, hurriedly When I ran to the stables in Happy Valley to watch the horses.

Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to mention the matter of 5 tons of sweet potatoes to Baifanyu.

Baifanyu looked at Lei Luo and his daughter, and when his thoughts were all on the red-blooded horse, he whispered, "There must be no shortage of food for Luzon Island.

Even this year’s summer harvest looks like a bumper year.

However, 5 tons of dried sweet potatoes are really embarrassing for them.This thing has been used as feed before, and it is impossible to raise so much in a short period of time.

If we replace it with corn, rice and dried bananas, we can say that we can get it together within half a month. "

Chu Xiangqian frowned after hearing this. If the transaction was mainly made of rice, the transaction price would increase several times.

The only good news is that Luzon's rice harvest is expected to be bumper this year, so a drop in food prices is inevitable, but the extent of the drop will likely be offset by the 5 tons of it.

想起之前白饭鱼买的240吨，也就是48万斤大米，居然每斤4毛1分6。

It was a full 1 cent, 9 cents and 6 cents more expensive than the grain purchased from Odisha, and Chu Xiangqian subconsciously felt that it was too uneconomical.

If we compare the price of wheat in the United States and Canada, one pound can buy nearly 3 pounds.

A can of white rice and fish in the United States costs 0.147 Hong Kong dollars per pound, while in Canada it is even cheaper at 0.14 Hong Kong dollars per pound.

He immediately scratched his head and said, "The price difference is so big?"

Then his eyes lit up, "How about we set up an import company and just import directly from the United States and Canada."

Chu Qianqian sighed angrily, "How can cross-border transactions be so easy? Otherwise, farmers in the United States and Canada would not be worrying about how to sell their wheat."

Baifanyu was stunned and couldn't understand at all. When buying food, couldn't he just give money to buy it?

Chu Xiangqian could only explain, “Grain from countries such as the United States, Canada, and Australia was bought in the form of futures by super-large grain merchants one or two years in advance.

Buying grain in the United States, Canada or Canada is actually making deals with several major grain producers.

For the sake of money, capitalists don't mind violating the embargo terms of the United States, but how to transport them out of the United States is not that easy. "

Only then did Baifanyu realize. To put it bluntly, if he wanted to buy grain in the United States, if it was only a few hundred or a few thousand tons, it would be okay. He could just find more farmers to purchase it privately.

But if you want to do transnational grain business, you absolutely cannot avoid a few major grain merchants.

These people even control food more strictly and seriously than the US government.

Moreover, the futures market is also related to the interests of bankers and Wall Street.

If anyone suddenly buys tens of thousands or 10,000+ tons of wheat from the market, it will affect the price of wheat futures this year, which is equivalent to losing their cake.

When these people take revenge, they are definitely more vicious than politicians.

Another big trouble is that once the grain is bought by oneself, it is more expensive than the price negotiated by China itself from grain merchants in the United States or Canada.

If the guarantee is not equal, some people will say that they have made a profit in the middle, and then they will not be human inside and outside, and even their good intentions will not be repaid.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian understood what it means to be difficult, and doing practical things is even harder.

Maybe when people from China go to Canada, they will feel that the food they send to Tianjin every month is too expensive.

Then he proposed to stop cooperation with bicycles and other light industrial products that he had signed.

Even after completing the contract for 10 bicycles, 5 watches, 5 radios and 1 sewing machines, I will think about exporting to foreigners.

This kind of mindless thing really doesn't happen.

For a moment, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt bored.

But Bai Fanyu frowned and said, "Then just buy corn kernels. It shouldn't be much more expensive than dried sweet potatoes."

Only then did Chu Xiangqian come to his senses. There was also a lot of corn planted in Luzon Island. Since a bumper harvest of rice was expected, the price of corn would definitely be even more unaffordable.

After all, ordinary people naturally eat less corn when the price of rice drops.

Even some brewing, feed, and food processing industries will reduce their purchases of corn.

After agreeing with Baifanyu to purchase 5 tons of corn, Chu Xiangqian was thinking about how to reasonably store 10,000+ tons of iron ore in the dock warehouse.

What troubles Chu Xiangqian the most is that iron ore these days is just like coal. It is not stored in warehouses, but piled in the open air.

This makes it difficult to cover up in an indoor environment like a warehouse and avoid the eyes of outsiders.

If it weren't for the lack of monitoring these days, Chu Xiangqian wouldn't even be willing to sell iron ore.

Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Fanyu used his shoulders to move his arms forward, and saw Lei Luo and Bai Yuechang walking over with smiles on their faces.

"Achu, if it's not too much trouble, how about finding a rider to go for a lap on the track?"

Chu Qianqian nodded indifferently. When the horse goes on the track, the better the performance, the more expensive it will be after a while.

He called the stable boy to find a rider, and Chu Xiangqian watched the stable boy put on the harness for the bloody horse, and calmed the horse's mood from time to time, so as not to let the rider ride it on the track. I can't even put on the harness.

Half an hour later, the temporary rider rode the horse for two laps on the track, becoming familiar with each other to a limited extent.

Then a timekeeper was found to test the horse's speed.

The result was similar to what Chu Xiangqian thought. Since it was a specially selected good horse, it not only performed well in terms of speed, but also received strong praise from many staff at the racecourse in terms of endurance.

After Baifanyu, his daughter, and Lei Luo heard these people's discussions, they were overjoyed and secretly said that although Chu Xiangqian was greedy for money sometimes, he was indeed a reliable person.

When I say I'm looking for a good horse for you, I won't do anything about it.

Bai Yuechang hugged Baifanyu's arm and said excitedly, "Abba, according to these people, if you find a good rider and train seriously for a period of time, you might be able to come back as an endurance race champion.

If you're lucky, you might even be able to look forward to a speed race. "
