Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 795 Prepare in advance

Although China is not short of food now, in fact, even if the drought ends, it is impossible to truly solve the problem of having enough food with the current productivity and farming level.

Not to mention other things, the grain output of only three or four hundred kilograms per acre of land means that whether many places can have enough food depends entirely on God.

It is said that there is no shortage of food, but only big cities like Beijing can distribute food grains stably every month.

If you think about it, you will know that there are definitely people who are still starving in many places down there.

Of course, the number of people starving to death has indeed decreased a lot.

As for the troops, the food supply was stable, but meat and other non-staple foods were also in great shortage.

These 7 cattle and sheep might just be in Xue Jianrong's hands, and within a day, someone might come to ask for money.

Not to mention other people, if Li Yunlong came to the door, when Xue Jianrong was in Tianzhu, Li Yunlong was his immediate superior.

When facing your old superior, you always have to show some respect.

Once Li Yunlong takes away eight or ten cattle and sheep, this leak will be impossible to stop.

As for whether Li Yunlong would come to his house, Chu Xiangqian guessed that the possibility of him coming was very small, but if this guy was also secretly training the special forces in his own army, then there was a 9% chance that he was trying to extort money from him.

No, Li Yunlong is the front-line commander of the Tianzhu battlefield. He has personally experienced the power of the special forces. The possibility of him establishing a special forces team of his own army is absolutely 100%.

If Xue Jianrong's soldiers are exhausted from training and cannot keep up with the training subjects, the problem will be even more serious on Li Yunlong's side.

Once they hear that Xue Jianrong has obtained 700 cattle and sheep, they will definitely come to his door.

Although the means of asking for things will not be as direct as in the past, hints are inevitable.

Likewise, he definitely has the guts to do so, and he also has enough experience in asking for things.

Chu Xiangqian thought about this, and then focused his attention on the Novice Village warehouse. He looked at the shark meat that had been stored in the Novice Village warehouse for the past two or three years.

This thing doesn't taste good, but fortunately the collection technique is quite advanced, and the collected shark meat basically has no peculiar smell.

Three sharks are refreshed every day, and each shark can produce 3 kilograms of meat.

That’s 1500 kilograms a day, and a full 273.75 tons a year.

Not to mention the three companies of a special operations battalion with 360 people, even three battalions would be no problem.

Moreover, after three years, apart from the shark meat that was sold and originally stored on the small island in Dapeng Bay, there were more than 700 tons of useless shark meat in the warehouse.

In this case, why not help my brother-in-law again? "I'll have someone use a refrigerated ship to send 200 tons of frozen fresh fish meat over."

Xue Jianrong was overjoyed. 200 tons is 40 kilograms. The special operations battalion soldiers under his command, plus officers, logistics personnel and communications personnel, were no more than 400 people.

If properly stored, these 40 kilograms of frozen fresh fish will be enough to feed the entire camp for three years.

One pound of fish, one pound of staple food, and half a pound of vegetables every day are enough to provide the soldiers with the nutrition they need for daily training.

But Xue Jianrong was only happy for a few seconds. Xue Jianguo, who was sitting next to him, saw that his elder brother was too happy and reminded him quietly, "Brother, you'd be lucky if you can get 200 tons of these 20 tons of fish.

If I were you, I would think about how to use fish and meat to save the 700 cattle and sheep.

That’s the long-term deal.”

Xue Jianrong was stunned for a moment, then he understood what his second brother meant. Although the meat of cattle and sheep can be eaten after being slaughtered.

But if other troops really get cattle and sheep, they will most likely keep them. So as long as there is enough fish, fish will indeed be the first choice.

After all, frozen food has to be eaten first when you bring it back. Then, after eating, you can still think about the 700 cattle and sheep.

Even if you agree not to take advantage of the cattle and sheep, when they give birth, that will be another matter.

Chu Xiangqian had thought of this in advance as he only gave 200 tons of shark meat this time, even if he took out all the more than 700 tons in the Novice Village.

The troops and even the local authorities will soon take away some of the spoils.

If someone asks me for money in the future, 1500 kilograms a day will be like a mosquito leg and not enough.

And fish meat can also be exchanged with people.
-
Xue Jianrong had no intention of staying for dinner at this moment. All he was thinking about was how to keep the 700 cattle, sheep and 200 tons of fish.

I wanted to take Xue Jianguo back to discuss it, but Xue Jianguo was unwilling to get involved in this trouble.

Xue Jianrong had no choice but to leave alone.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care at all about his second uncle's action of increasing the amount of food.

After Xue Jinglan came back, he handed his baby son to her and got up to make a phone call to Hong Kong Island.

The cattle and sheep can be transported to the Tianjin Port by the fleet, but the 200 tons of fish and meat can only wait until I return to Hong Kong Island.

Besides, it’s July now and the weather is very hot. Without a refrigerated warehouse, we might as well stay in the Novice Village warehouse.
-
After staying in Beijing for another two days, Chu Xiangqian had to give up the idea of ​​staying a few more days after Xue Jianrong came to his house for the second time to urge him to return to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible.

The next morning, I took Feifei and Aiyuan on a private plane back to Hong Kong Island.

Although Feifei said that she was willing to stay in Beijing to accompany Xue Jinglan, Chu Xiangqian could see what this girl was thinking.

And there has to be someone keeping an eye on the newspaper's affairs.

As for Ehime, ever since his brother's wife gave birth to the eldest grandson of the third branch, his uncle suddenly became very active in Ehime's marriage.

I also persuaded my second aunt and several aunts from the courtyard houses in Luoguxiang to help introduce some good young men.

Aiyuan was so annoyed that when she heard that her elder brother was going back to Hong Kong Island, she immediately thought about hiding there for a while.

The plane took off smoothly and entered cruise mode. Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but yawn and simply fell back on the seat to take a nap.

Because they had to go back to Hong Kong Island last night, Xue Jinglan and Gangsheng naturally would not let him go.

After playing a few rounds of poker, Xue Jinglan brought Chu Jingrong back from Sister Tao, saying that he was closer to his father.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this. It was obvious that he was implying that since he already had a son, he should stop fooling around outside.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't say anything.

Chu Jingrong usually sleeps very soundly at night, and it doesn't bother him. After eating, he can sleep until dawn.

But when Xue Jinglan brought him to her, he had only slept for a few hours, and after being woken up, he felt restless the whole night.

On the contrary, Xue Jinglan was tired from playing poker with Hong Kong students. After playing with the father and son for a short while, she fell asleep.

Chu Xiangqian was tormented by his own son in the middle of the night and only slept for two or three hours at most. After getting on the plane, although he did not feel tired, he felt a little reluctant to leave Beijing every time after having a son.

I simply slept until the plane arrived near Hong Kong Island. After being woken up, I finally felt better.

Since Feifei came back with him, she naturally lived in Fujing Building in Causeway Bay. Aiyuan also had a house here, just opposite Feifei's house.

The next day, Aiyuan took Feifei to inspect the import and export goods store, while Chu Xiangqian got into Zhang Tianzhi and Zhou Billy's car and went directly to Chai Wan Pier.

The fleet loaded coal again and sailed towards Nippon Benzene. After unloading from Nippon Benzene, it would go directly to Tianjin to try to transport coal from China.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian's visit to Chai Wan Pier was mainly to inspect the employees of the shipping company and the operation of the terminal. It would have been fine if he hadn't touched upon the company's affairs, but once he touched upon the company's affairs, the documents piled up on the table.

Chu Xiangqian felt a headache just by looking at it.

Fortunately, Zheng Shufen is indeed capable. Although the shipping company is just being established, the framework has been set up and it is ready for operation.

Once Chu Xiangqian gets ruthless with himself, his perseverance and efficiency are also very high.

I stayed in Chai Wan for the whole day and didn’t even go back to Causeway Bay at night.

When the big boss works overtime, naturally few of his subordinates dare to leave.

During this era, Hong Kong Island entered a period of economic development, with more opportunities to make money. Most companies were also very competitive, and overtime was common.

Although Zheng Shufen was also tired after a day's work, she felt more motivated to continue working overtime with her husband when she thought about how he was in the office processing company documents and that she and Chu Xiangqian were separated by a door.

As for little Zheng Baoyi, Chu Xiangqian bought a house for Zheng Shufen long before, and he bought two houses on the left and right sides of the house.

Not only did it solve the housing problem for the mother and daughter, but Zheng Shufen's parents also moved in to live with them.

So Zheng Baoyi has the care of her grandparents, and Zheng Shufen has been able to focus more on helping Chu Xiangqian run the business in the past two years.

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, Chu Xiangqian finally finished all the important official business that needed to be handled as soon as possible at the shipping company and the port.

After checking his watch, he wanted to ask Zheng Shufen to go home with him, but before he could get up, he heard Zheng Shufen's secretary and assistant discussing company matters with her outside the office.

Chu Xiangqian quickly realized that since he hadn't left, the people working in offices at the shipping company should not have left either.

Sure enough, after directing the chickadee to look around the shipping office building on the dock, he found that most of the office lights were on.

Even the dock workers on the lower floors of the shipping company stayed.

What surprised Chu Xiangqian was that the employees of the two companies were not slacking off but were really busy.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and shook his head. If it were his previous life, he would definitely curse in his heart.

But after becoming a boss, he wishes all his subordinates to be busy and successful.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian doesn't lack the overtime pay, and since the employees are so proactive and positive, they deserve even more rewards.

After all, a monthly salary of 2 or 300 Hong Kong dollars is considered a middle-income in this era.

Many people will subconsciously work harder in order to keep their jobs.

I picked up the phone and called Zheng Shufen, asking her to ask someone to order a midnight snack nearby.

After the midnight snack was delivered, Chu Xiangqian also appeared in a large office and announced that the company would subsidize 3 to 5 yuan a day for overtime work in the future.

Moreover, everyone must leave work before 10 p.m., which means an increase of % to % in salary every month.

Instantly, everyone in the company cheered.

As for triple overtime pay, forget it.

Chu Xiangqian is already a conscientious boss. He does not want to be seen as a rule breaker by other bosses and wealthy people in Hong Kong because of triple overtime pay.

When Hong Kong Island gets used to paying overtime pay, I will increase it to 2 or 3 times.
-
With Chu Xiangqian personally in charge of the shipping company and the port, and with overtime pay, the two companies quickly got back on track.

However, the problems of the crew and the captain still gave Chu Xiangqian a headache.

Fortunately, Hong Kong Island is also a seaport, and there are many Hong Kong people and Chinese who work on ships.

As for the foreigners, there are even more.

Adding the retired crew members who come from the mainland for support, maintaining the operation of 55 ships is nothing more than spending more money.

As for the issue of confidentiality, Chu Xiangqian never expected it.

Whether it is the foreigners or the mainland crew members, their loyalty cannot be fully guaranteed.

So if you want to operate a fleet safely, it all depends on connections.

Therefore, after each monthly settlement, Chu Xiangqian was very active in distributing the previous month's profits to various shareholders and partners.

After getting the money, not only were the people in the card club very satisfied, but the bosses from Philips, Norton, Sakura, and the Philippine Garrison also began to pay more and more attention to the shipping company.

It was even heard that Chu Xiangqian liked antiques, so the leader of the Sakura garrison specially sent someone to give him several treasures from the Celestial Empire.

This made Chu Xiangqian suddenly realize that with the current control of the magnesium countrymen over Sakura, it should not be difficult for him to get back the antiques that were stolen from Sakura.

This immediately made Chu Xiangqian pay more attention to the shipping company.
-
Before we knew it, the shipping company had been operating the coal business for three months.

During this period, transporting coal from Tianjin Port to the Sakura Country has always been smooth.

Moreover, two months ago, 2 Victory ships purchased from Morgan Jr. for US$1 million arrived in Hong Kong Island and joined the shipping business. The monthly transportation volume also nearly doubled.

Naturally, the money earned also nearly doubled.

During this period, Chu Xiangqian saw that the business was gradually getting on track, and he had time to travel back and forth between Beijing, London and Hong Kong Island.

I also held a one-year-old party for Chu Jingrong, and attended the full-month banquet for little Chu Jingye.

With a harmonious family and a prosperous business, Chu Xiangqian seems to be very busy, but in fact he has a lot of free time.

Only in this way can you travel back and forth between the three places.

But by November, the capital city was gradually getting colder. Xue Jinglan was worried that Chu Jingrong would catch a cold. At the same time, she had been away from Hong Kong for more than a year and missed the prosperous world of Hong Kong.

Taking advantage of Chu Xiangqian's return to Beijing, he insisted on taking Chu Jingrong and the three sisters Gangsheng, Taojie and Zhaodi back to Hong Kong Island to spend the winter.

Chu Jingrong is over one year old and can already take a plane.

Chu Xiangqian naturally had no objection to this matter, but since Chu Jingrong had left the capital, there was no place for his master, his mistress, Yixiantian and Lao Jiang to stay.

In the end, we all returned to Hong Kong Island, fortunately the house on the Peak was big enough.

Not to mention the four elderly people, master and his wife, even if the families of my second and third uncles came, there would be room for them to stay.

By the way, Chu Xiangqian formally proposed to his second uncle and second aunt to take the fourth child, Ailin, to go to school on Hong Kong Island.

Uncle and Aunt were reluctant at first, but when Chu Ailin heard that he could go to Hong Kong Island, he insisted on going with him even if it meant rolling on the ground.

Although Chu Xiangqian was reluctant to say it openly, he asked Ailin to follow him because he was worried that Ailin would have to go to the countryside to attend high school in a few years.

I could only convince my uncle and aunt that the education in Hong Kong was better than that in Beijing.

When it comes to children's education, Chinese parents have basically had the same attitude from ancient times to the present.

In addition, Chu Xiangqian and his whole family returned to Hong Kong Island, so there was no need to worry about no one to take care of Ailin. Finally, his uncle and aunt had no choice but to agree.

Now not only were the patriotic and people-loving couple envious, but even the little Ai Qiu was extremely unhappy.
