The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

On the [-]-ton American-flagged bulk carrier "Eva", Captain Mahan pinched a briar pipe in his rough hand, frowned and carefully observed this strange "refugee" in front of him. Feeling wandering back and forth.

The first impression Zhu Bin gave him was too unusual. He was obviously of Chinese ethnicity, but he was tall and strong even surpassing most whites. It looks like he has been drifting in the sea for dozens of days, not to mention, the weird box that is [-] feet long sitting under his buttocks, um, he called it a "container ntiner"?

"I am very grateful to the benevolent Captain Ma Han for extending his generous hand to save me. I am very grateful. I will try to give you enough rewards when I get to the sea!" Zhu Bin patted his chest sincerely to express his gratitude. Affection.

Captain Ma Han waved his pipe, his eyes were no longer so fierce, and he said boldly: "Don't be too polite, they are all people drifting in the sea. Since the God of the Sea doesn't take you in, I have to take care of you. Besides, it is Ma Han who came to save you." Mr. Yile means, young man, you should thank that respectful boss."

"That's for sure." Zhu Bin nodded with a well-bred smile, and then changed into a decent set of clothes with the help of the sailors. Of course, he still paid cheap verbal thanks, and finally went to the central bridge to meet the A big boss who is said to be awesome.

Captain Mahan glanced at the huge box again, and seemed to think of something, but his brain was not very easy to use after being burned by high-alcohol, so he shook it vigorously, thinking about it.

In the best room on the whole ship except the captain's room, the general manager of Anderson Maier, Mr. Weihemo Maier, lay on his back on the leather recliner specially customized by him, and carefully looked at the front of him with a pair of deep gray eyes. This young man, who was wearing a very ill-fitting low-end suit, but looked calm and at ease as if he was the master, quickly evaluated all the possibilities in his heart.

When he found Zhu Bin, the general manager was working overtime, trying to clear up his increasingly chaotic mind.

He is 55 years old this year. He has worked hard in China for 30 years. He started from scratch with a single desk and created a large-scale trading company that has spread all over the world and has a capital of over ten million US dollars. It is one of the largest foreign firms in China, and the Chinese name "Shenchang Foreign Firm" can be described as a household name, which is the pride of his life.

But he felt that he was getting old, and the sickness began to rush out from the dark, quickly consuming his life. In his class, his career is about to be inherited by no one, which is very sad.

General Electric, one of the company's major shareholders, has proposed a full acquisition, but he has no immediate promise. This is his career, and he doesn't want to just give up. He can still support it for a few more years.China in the Far East and her vassal Japan for thousands of years are about to have a fierce war, which means countless business opportunities. The instinct of profit and money drives him to come back from the United States again with his tired body. He doesn't want to lose this opportunity.

Originally, it would not be necessary for a noble man like him to speak up to save a drowning man, but when he saw the big box under the Chinese man for the first time, the keen nerves he had cultivated for decades were touched --- there There must be huge business opportunities.So for the first time, he asked the captain Ma Han to save people.Although Ma Han is his employee, on the ship, the captain is the boss. Even if he is the boss, he can't give orders without authority.

When the metal box weighing at least [-] tons was mentioned on the ship, Maier affirmed his own judgment, so he decided to talk to this young man immediately.

"To be able to meet in this way in the vast sea, in the words of you Chinese, this is 'fate'. Then, young man, can you tell me your origin?" Ma Yier seemed to smile gently, letting The footman poured him a cup of black coffee.

Zhu Bin expressed his gratitude politely, and Mr. Ma Yier's eyes lit up with his gestures and actions showing good upbringing.After expressing his thanks again for saving his life, Zhu Bin did not change his face and began to lie: "...Our village has inconvenient transportation, most of the people went out to sea, and it was too late when the huge waves came, so I tied myself in the The box was swept into the sea, which saved my life."

The village has been razed, and several Chinese are missing. The Americans have no interest and time to search carefully.

"Can you tell me about your...container? You said you invented it yourself, which can greatly improve the method and efficiency of the entire transportation and material circulation? Young man, you can't just boast about it." Ma Yier's gray eyes There was a strange light shining in it, seemingly casually, vaguely expecting.

Zhu Bin has seen countless profiteers, especially those who desperately lowered the price of good goods he scavenged from the garbage dump. He is familiar with that look, and he hates it very much.

And he also knew how to hide his emotions, and said sincerely: "Mr. Ma Yier, this is an undoubted great invention. My uncle and I have summed up the experience of several generations and perfected a whole set of systems. I We firmly believe that it will change the world. Originally, we wanted to return to China to establish a production company for container manufacturing and related equipment. Are you interested in this?"

Until the interstellar era, standard containers of various sizes were still the best carrier for transporting bulk cargo. As a senior garbage collector, Zhu Bin was no longer familiar with this set of things anymore, driving a spaceship and pulling things around the galaxy all day long.Originally, for the convenience of movement, he specially made such a container to load the necessary equipment and materials to carry out. It seems that this thing is still very new, so he firmly admitted that it was invented by himself.

Ma Yier was amazed at the young man's keen insight, he saw through his intention directly, but he didn't care too much, nodded and said: "Yes. You know, Anderson Ma Yier Company or Shenchang Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. owns all Branches and customers worldwide, if your invention is really that effective, or will save us a lot of shipping costs, I think, my colleagues will love this invention. Young man, if you can convince me , I will consider investing in this area.”

Before coming to see him, Zhu Bin specifically asked a young man named Wang Weishan who was said to be his Chinese assistant. He probably knew the status of Shenchang Foreign Firm in China, and this Mr. Ma Yier was also very influential and powerful. Can be developed as a partner.

So he nodded and clenched his hands on the table with joy: "That's great! I'm still worrying about how to start this business. Mr. Ma Yier, you not only saved my life, but also Provide such help for my future wealth path, I swear, I will definitely share the huge profits with you!"

Young people are still easily excited and persuaded!Ma Yier was secretly proud of his ability, and looked at Zhu Bin more and more kindly: "You see, the time on the boat is always very long and boring. I think we can discuss this topic carefully..."

The cunning and naive little fox started a long talk with a cup of fragrant black coffee.Naturally, it was probably Zhu Bin who was talking and Ma Yier who was asking. In order to get more details, Mr. General Manager said a lot of information that seemed to be well-known, which made Zhu Bin greatly speed up the process of understanding the whole strange world and era. , The logistics and transportation system closely related to the container that he pulled out is getting bigger and bigger. When Ma Yier heard it, his head would explode.

"This is a huge, complete, and efficient system that contains huge wealth worldwide, enough to create another Morgan Empire. This business opportunity must not be missed." Ma Yier finally firmly believed in this matter , As for Zhu Bin's identity is true or false, to hell.

Ma Yier's Chinese assistant, Wang Weishan, was always helping them, refilling coffee and ordering cigars for them. His gentle and quiet face full of anger concealed the state of mind that was constantly impacted and shocked by Zhu Bin's eloquent speeches.

In Shenchang Foreign Firm, Wang Weishan was a group of Chinese employees with higher positions. At his best, his monthly income could be [-] yuan, but it was obviously four times worse than the [-] dollars of American employees.Now that the world is in the Great Depression, General Manager Ma Yier cut off half of it without hesitation, but at this time he is still high-income, even better than the mayor.

As a rare talent with very high professional knowledge and self-cultivation, Ma Yier valued him very much, otherwise he would not take him with him when he returned to the United States.But Wang Aoshan didn't feel so glorious and proud. He knew very well that when necessary, this seemingly kind Dane would lay off staff and fire everyone without hesitation.

As a matter of fact, Ma Yier originally planned to let him stay in the United States this time, but Wang Weishan refused, because he has another identity——an important member of the People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association in Shanghai.After the Japanese army invaded and occupied the three eastern provinces on September [-] last year, he participated in the training of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, and this time, the Japanese army was about to start a war in the sea.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet such a strange troubled Chinese as Zhu Bin.Originally, he was just asking for some help from the side because of the feeling that the Chinese people in the world belong to one family, but now listening to his eloquent spouting of familiar but profound professional new knowledge, he made an instant decision, this young man must pull Get into the organization!

"Wang, you must take good care of Mr. Zhu's life, he will become the company's most important partner." Ma Yier let Zhu Bin leave reluctantly until he couldn't bear it anymore, and told Wang Weishan seriously.

Wang Weishan nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely do a good job." Turning his head to look at Zhu Bin with a smile, there was an unconcealable enthusiasm in his eyes, Zhu Bin's hairs stood on end, and his chrysanthemum tightened unconsciously .
