The ice business is no stranger to the Senate. Ever since the Senate was able to build cold storage, ice has been sold to Guangzhou as a trading commodity. Ziminglou provides various iced drinks in summer and the "local air conditioner" in the room. , are all products in Lingao cold storage. The dignitaries have gradually become accustomed to ordering ice cubes from Zichengji to keep themselves cool in summer.
In places like Southeast Asia and India, the weather is even hotter - speaking of it, today's Guangdong can still use natural methods to collect ice in the coldest days of winter, but Southeast Asia and India definitely do not have this condition. Not to mention that the ice trade can be expanded to the Red Sea coast in the future.
If this business gets bigger, it might make more money than selling sugar - at least it can make full use of the shipping space.
Thinking of this, Xu Yanliang felt a little excited. Originally, he felt confused about the company's layout and development in Sanya, but now he slowly has ideas.
December 1, 1635.
"Hurry up, hurry up." Chu He muttered to himself while anxiously pacing the deck. Captain Zhou Shengfu, who was standing aside, was very puzzled. He had almost seen the lights at Lingao Corner. The Bobu Pier is right in front of you, why is this veteran still so anxious? Could it be that there was something urgent at home?
Chow Sang-fu has been traveling on the Hong Kong-Lingao route for a long time. It is rare for him to feel as if his ass is burning like this veteran. Even if they were racing against time to transport the wounded to the joint logistics service, there was no urging from the veteran doctors accompanying the ship.
"Chief, don't worry, our ship can only run so fast..." He explained, "But we can see the lighthouse now, and we will definitely be there in another hour." After that, he started walking. Move slowly away from Chu He.
Chu He cursed secretly. If he hadn't been in a hurry, he would have taken your cumbersome old-style boat, but the speed is not flattering. It can only travel three or four nautical miles in an hour. It was almost twice as slow as the H800 he took from Jeju to Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, there are no ships from Hong Kong to Lingao within a week. The reason is also very simple: the plague blockade in Guangzhou has just ended, and the liner route to Lingao has not yet been restored, and it can only go back and forth with ships transporting "special needs supplies". The only thing that allowed him to transfer "seamlessly" was this dilapidated old slow boat.
His family is not in Lingao - since he was appointed as the dean of Jeju National School last year, he has taken his family to Jeju. He felt that the climate there was much better than that in Lingao. As for the children, they haven’t reached elementary school yet, so they can just stay with them.
What drove him to change several boats and rush to Lingao anxiously was not an urgent matter at home, but a burning "motivation".
Finally, the cargo ship docked at the dock. Chu He was waiting at the gangway before the ship docked. As soon as the sailor set up the gangway, he couldn't wait to rush down with the guards. Zhou Shengfu quickly shouted from behind: "Chief, the chief's special passage is over here!"
Chu He walked quickly out without looking back, and the sentry on the dock passed by him before he had time to salute. The guard Xiao Pu, who was carrying the box, trotted behind him. As soon as he left the port gate, Chuhe got on the senator's carriage arranged by the general office and said immediately: "Bairen City, senator's villa area, hurry up!" The coachman did not say anything. , raised his hand and cracked his whip, and the carriage quickly headed towards Bairen City.
Chu He was sitting on the carriage. The scenery outside the window was very different from when he went to Jeju five years ago, but he was not in the mood to pay attention. Five years ago, he was a soy sauce veteran, hanging out in Fangcaodi. Now he is still a soy sauce veteran, hanging around in Jeju National School. He was tired of such an ordinary life, and the opportunity to change everything was right in front of him. This time, he must hold the opportunity tightly in his hands.
After getting off the car, he walked towards his house in Lingao, which he hadn't been back to for a long time. As he walked quickly, even when old acquaintances on the road greeted him, he responded in a hurry without stopping even half a step.
When I returned to my apartment and opened the door, the room exuded a smell unique to a house that had been unoccupied for a long time. However, the environment in the house was clean and tidy, and it was obviously cleaned frequently.
He walked into the study, took off his coat and said to Xiao Pu, "Open the box and take out my computer." Xiao Pu put Chu He's laptop on the desk.
"Chief, would you like me to unpack your luggage for you..."
"No need." Chu He said, "You go to the service club and ask them to bring me a dinner and a pot of tea. By the way, take my dirty clothes for washing. You tell me that you can go to the dormitory to rest by yourself after playing. Don’t take care of me.”
"Yes, Chief."
After the guard left, Chu He lit a cigarette and plugged in the power and network cable. It’s been useless for so many days, will it be a problem? Fortunately, everything is normal, whether it is power supply or network.
Chu He took out a draft from the document bag and entered the contents of the draft into the computer. The title of the draft read "Recommendation on Nanyang Company Financing Should Use Both Stocks and Debt".
Before Chuhe crossed, he was a financial migrant worker and worked as a trader in a public fund. He decided to cross because of emotional problems. Since his job and professional background were considered useless by the Senate, he first drove an excavator for a few months after D-Day, and later worked in the military group and Fangcaodi. Due to his lazy nature, he was neither willing to strictly abide by military discipline in the army and set an example, nor was he willing to clock in and take assessments on time at school. Therefore, after Zhang Zhixiang rectified Fangcaodi in 1633, Chuhe found that he gradually "couldn't survive" in Fangcaodi. Not only did a veteran who "dedicated himself to education" regard him as a "lazy man", but even the naturalized teacher felt that he was "not doing his job properly", so much so that Hu Qingbai rudely interviewed him alone and asked him to "play the positive role of a veteran". Influence” and “Don’t discredit the Senate.”
In order to prevent Hu Qingbai from being unbearable and kicking him out of Fangcaodi, he asked the Organization Department to "arrange another job" for him, and the Senate assigned him another job of driving an excavator or similar work, so he decided to apply to be a teacher in Jeju ——The Senate is preparing to open a national school in Jeju Island. As the first national school in the northern region, the Senate attaches great importance to this. I plan to send an elder to hold it.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away from Jeju Island, which is a perfect place to make soy sauce. Moreover, there are no rules and regulations when going to a school, so you can quietly be a gentleman. He didn't know anything about civil engineering, so it was only done by people from Lingao Construction Company. Just "keep your head down and govern" by yourself.
At that moment, he immediately submitted an application form to the education department. Hu Qingbai was eager to "give him a gift", and there were not many elders in Jeju Island. When Feng Zongze saw that there were elders who were willing to support the construction of Jeju, it was natural that Feng Zongze would like it, so with his strong support, Chuhe He became the director of the Preparatory Office of Jeju National School.
Chuhe stayed in Jeju for more than two years. In addition to preparing for the construction of the school, he also worked as a teacher for two years. During this period, he also assisted Feng Zongze in handling some internal affairs of Jeju. The days were passed freely and leisurely. But overall nothing happened. Except for Hu Qingbai and the general office who still remember him, he gradually became a person forgotten by the Senate. As he grew older and saw that he was still "swaying", his laziness gradually faded away, and he felt that he could no longer go on like this.
Returning to Caijinkou is of course an option, but currently Caijinkou's main business has little to do with "finance". His main focus is on "finance". What funds, stocks and other things he is good at are in the world of Lingao. Not much use. If you go there, you can only become a senior accountant. As for the accounting profession, although he was not unfamiliar with it, he was not very familiar with it either.
In the middle of the conflict, the great discussion triggered by the Wuzhou incident caused a clear shift in the Senate's policy. The establishment of the Nanyang Company made Chuhe keenly aware of the opportunity: once it involves stock issuance, bond financing, stock trading and the like, Affairs is when he shows his talents. Last month, as soon as he saw the "Weekly News" article about the preparations for the establishment of the Guangzhou Stock Exchange and the raising of private funds, he immediately became excited - wasn't this a perfect match for himself? ! He decided to return to Lingao, submit the financing plan he had prepared, and strive to find a position in Nanyang Company.
As soon as he arrived in Hong Kong, he used his status as a veteran to change to the fastest ship, and rushed to Lingao in a hurry. On the way, he perfected his financing plan and prayed not to read in the newspaper that Nanyang Company's financing plan had been dusted off. Determined news. After two weeks of sailing, Chuhe finally showed up at his home. Regardless of the pain of traveling, he wanted to quickly post his plan on BBS. As he was typing, the expressions of approval from other elders already appeared in his mind, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Just as I was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door. It turned out to be someone from the service agency who had brought dinner. He suddenly remembered something and quickly filled out a temporary pass, sealed it in an envelope, wrote a few lines on the envelope, and handed it to the waiter.
"Send someone to deliver this letter to this address immediately."
"We'll send someone right away." The waitress took the envelope with an ambiguous smile on her face. Obviously, she knew exactly what was inside.
It was late at night, and Elder Chuhe was lying on the bed without sleep. A graceful girl slept next to him. Her slightly undulating figure looked uneven under the cover of the sheets. However, the joy of the night only relaxed Chu Yuan's mood for a while. At this moment, everything was silent outside, and anxiety once again occupied Chu Yuan's mind.
Just now, after posting the post, he had browsed various related plans on BBS. Generally speaking, issuing stocks and establishing a stock exchange are the consensus of many financial people. The various plans are unique. Some plans are followed by responses from many people. It seems very popular.
