Chapter 34: Bear with it for a while (Part 1)
After talking about the evil arms trade that was harmful to the country and the people, Fang Jianxiong began to talk about the trade of industrial machinery that would benefit the country and the people. A set of equipment with an annual output of 100,000 tons of cement, a set of amine pharmaceutical factory equipment, a set of pointed bullet production lines, and a gunpowder factory
equipment. All payments are deducted from the profits from the European sulfonamide market. By the way, there is also a set of thermal power generation equipment. This is a transaction at the power plant. Fang Jianxiong will introduce it on my behalf.
Fang Jianxiong also gave Victor an arduous task. He used the general agent of sulfa in the Chinese market in exchange for a condition from Lihe Matheson. In the future, the second-hand artillery purchased from Germany would only be charged Fang Jianxiong's freight (cheating freight). The specific price
, the shipping fee for each artillery piece shall not exceed 1,000 oceans.
This glorious task, in the face of a commission of 5,000 yuan and a series of orders, Victor almost broke his chest and said that it was no problem. In fact, Fang Jianxiong also wanted to give up the general agency rights of sulfa, but there was nothing he could do.
There are too many robbers, including the British, Japanese, and French. Fang Jianxiong cannot afford to offend these robbers now. It is better to use them in exchange for some benefits, and Fang Jianxiong can earn some money from selling medicine. I believe that the sales prospects of sulfa in Europe can impress Li.
and foreign companies.
After the official business was discussed, Fang Jianxiong found Gu Heng and asked him to receive Victor. From now on, normal business would be between them. In addition, in a few days, Gu Heng would take Li Muyan to Shanghai to pick up the equipment of a brigade. Victor should not be allowed to
Face Li Muyan directly. God knows whether Li Muyan will cross the river and tear down the bridge. According to Fang Jianxiong's own perspective, this bridge must be demolished. The benefits are too great, and few people can resist.
Poor Victor, his butt was not even hot from sitting, so he walked back with a new order. However, he gained a lot from this trip. No matter how hard and tired it was, it was all worth it. Besides, this guy is a failure.
Businessmen also need to stand up again.
After seeing Victor off, Gu Heng stayed behind to discuss the construction of barracks and factories outside the city. Gu Heng's skills were revealed at this time. From manpower recruitment to logistics preparation, etc., he quickly came up with a charter. Fang Jianxiong
Just one sentence, "Gu Heng can make his own decisions on everything. If he has no money, he can come to his employer."
In the early winter, when there is a slack time for farming, the job recruitment notice posted in front of Wuhu City is undoubtedly very attractive. After a while, the job recruitment notice was surrounded by dense crowds of people looking at it, and the literate people said: "Today there are
The Eurasian Industrial and Commercial Group recruits craftsmen from the society. Small workers will receive two copper coins for three meals a day, and skilled craftsmen will receive ten copper coins a day..."
They take care of three meals a day, and they also get paid. It’s the slack time for farming, so who’s labor force wouldn’t be tempted?
At the Sanli Bridge outside Wuhu City, Fang Jianxiong stood with Li Muyan and Gu Heng on his left and right. Looking at the wild land that was still a patch of weeds, Fang Jianxiong couldn't help but take another look in the direction of the county seat. There was a row of newly built brick houses, hung with European tiles.
The sign of Asia Group Engineering Headquarters. On the open space in front of the door, a newly built long table was placed. The smell of tung oil was strong. There was a large stove beside the table. There were steamed buns in a steamer that was as high as two people.
There is also a big pot on top, which is filled with spicy bones and is steaming hot.
Li Muyan was very curious about what was going on here and repeatedly asked Gu Heng next to him. This is the camp of the teaching team. In the next few days, there will be two factories nearby that need to be leveled and new factories need to be built. The number of workers required is not a small number.
According to Care Heng's wish, the laborers did not need to be paid, and they were not afraid that no one would come to provide them with three meals. In the end, Fang Jianxiong insisted that the laborers should be given two copper coins every day.
Fang Jianxiong's reason is very simple. Two copper coins a day doesn't look like much, but in a month it will be sixty. There is still more than a month before the Chinese New Year, and the labor force who is at home during the off-season has been working for more than a month, and the expenses for the New Year have been paid.
.Who is not tempted?
"Hey, my boss is kind-hearted! If you are just a small worker, you can only eat rice and flour every day, so why should you pay me?" Gu Heng sighed and whispered to Li Muyan in a very painful voice: "Just like this, my boss is still worried.
I’m afraid no one will come.”
Li Muyan is also capable. He looked up at the sun and said with a smile: "Fel the country! It seems that you have been in the foreign world for a long time and don't know the current people's livelihood. But I think that the intention of supporting the country is elsewhere. For example, Li didn't
My calculation is wrong, the intention to support the country is in the coming year."
Gu Heng listened thoughtfully, while Fang Jianxiong listened with pain in his balls and said secretly: "The coming year will be peat. I was born under the red flag, grew up in New China, and am happy in the east wind of reform and opening up. I didn't ask anyone to do it at all."
There is no need to pay money for living! Damn it, I thought back when I lost the key, it cost fifty yuan to ask someone to open the lock." Finally, he sighed: "My heart is not dark enough, I need to improve!"
Far away in the direction of the county town, the crowd that Fang Jianxiong had been waiting for finally appeared. He raised the Zeiss 20x telescope, and Fang Jianxiong looked at it with a smile on his face. He suddenly hesitated and said, "What are the foreign devils doing here?"
"Let me take a look!" Li Muyan took the telescope, looked at it for a while and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid there will be too much movement in Fuguo, and foreigners will come smelling the smell of silver."
Li Muyan stayed in Wuhu for three days, hanging out with Fang Jianxiong almost every day. During these three days, Fang Jianxiong did not go to take over the patrol camp. He either went to arrange the printing of teaching materials or went to the construction site to take a look. Otherwise he stayed at home and worked on copywriting, Wuhu City
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry here posted several invitations for banquets, but Fang Jianxiong also declined.
After three days of quiet observation, Li Muyan found Fang Jianxiong, a young man, more and more interesting. He made money that was needed and did what he needed to do. He didn't seem to like socializing.
"Come up and have a look! Jansen, Paulus." Fang Jianxiong greeted, and the two German followers who were about to doze off out of boredom jumped up and followed behind.
Groups of people in shabby clothes passed by. Jason, the British tax department stationed in Wuhu Customs, looked disdainful, frowning and trying hard to maintain a proud expression. What is the Eurasian Group? Suddenly invested heavily in Wuhu Mingyuan
The electric lighting company is recruiting workers aggressively. The news that Jensen found out was that it was going to build a factory. As a tax official, he didn't have to worry about this originally. However, he also had another identity, the chief executive of Taikoo Matheson. Along the Yangtze River are
The traditional sphere of influence of the British. As a gentleman of the British Empire, Johnson decided to see if this Eurasian company could bring him some performance.
"It's Customs and Excise Officer Jason, a British guy from London." Gu Heng said from the side, and Fang Jianxiong stopped moving. "London? The most outrageous Olympics?" This actually popped up in his mind, and Fang Jianxiong hummed.
He made a sound and said: "I won't see him anymore. Mr. Gu will go and see what he wants to do. It's really disappointing. The British guys don't have any good things."
The attack was a bit broad, but that's not important. What's important is that the London Olympics made a certain otaku very unhappy, and the referees specifically blamed China.
"Mr. Li, let's go and avoid him." Fang Jianxiong greeted him and walked in a circle to avoid him.
Li Muyan has been working with Feng Xu for a long time, and he is well aware of the trouble caused by provoking the British. If it were anyone else, he would not get involved in this matter, and would hide as far away as possible. But he couldn't bear the fact that the two of them are now partners, and the sky is the limit.
Big money is the biggest.
"Fuguo, the Yangtze River waterway is all in the hands of the British." Li Muyan's voice was not loud, but he was very convincing.
Fang Jianxiong shook his head and sighed: "Why don't I know? That's why I'm hiding from you. Let's let Mr. Gu get in touch before we talk. These foreigners, when it comes to the word "profit", are all ungrateful beasts."
Fang Jianxiong left without much interest, saying that he still had to grab the gun barrel in his hand. When he mentioned the gun barrel, Fang Jianxiong thought of the second-hand equipment from that brigade, and it was probably about time it arrived.
Li Muyan went back to the Anmenzi to have a good time, and Fang Jianxiong returned home and started drafting a recruitment charter for the teaching team. The title given by Feng Xu was the leader of the teaching team of the 31st Mixed Incorporated Association and the commander of the Wuhu Patrol Battalion. It can be said that Wuhu's military power has been grasped. Everything is possible.
First and foremost, Fang Jianxiong was more concerned about the students of the teaching team. The Thirty-One Mixed Association would not select too many grassroots officers, and the others would have to be recruited by themselves. What should be done to satisfy Feng Xu and attract votes?
Your own confidants need to think carefully about this.
The recruitment office was packed with people, and in just one cup of tea, people gathered around No. 100 who came to see the situation. The dozen or so literate young men recruited by Gu Heng had a clear division of labor, some were responsible for registration, and some were responsible for shouting
, and there is also someone responsible for distributing steamed buns. As long as you register your name, you can receive two steamed buns and a bowl of spicy lake soup.
"Listen to me. Once you get to work, all your wages will be paid out in one day. Those who sign up now can get steamed buns and soup, and have a taste first. But the ugly thing is up front. Don't worry about not coming after signing up for steamed buns.
First, let’s take a look at what is said on the list. This is the barracks project of the New Army Training Team. If someone from the Yamen comes to the door, don’t say you didn’t hear it clearly beforehand.”
The young man holding the trumpet kept repeating these words.
Everything looked chaotic, but yet it seemed orderly. Hendry stood on the side and looked at it for a while before walking over. The feeling of pedestrians avoiding each other made Hendry raise his chin even higher.
Fang Jianxiong was still sitting at home, but his buttocks were still hot. A servant came to report at the door, and a foreign doctor from Yijishan Hospital asked to see him. Fang Jianxiong had no choice but to stop what he was doing and come out to the living room to meet. He was still thinking about it all the way, and it seemed that a box of sulfonamides had the effect.
, Fang Jianxiong did not intend to be a good person, but wanted to make use of this Yijishan Hospital.
Lawrence and Zhong Shouzhi were talking quietly in the living room and waiting. A box of sulfonamide saved a patient with postoperative infection. This is really a major event across the ages for Western medicine. Before the birth of penicillin, this was definitely a life-saving method.
Panacea. Lawrence quickly got the latest news through news channels and confirmed that the Germans had indeed invented this new drug. However, the United States currently does not have the ability to produce this new drug, and Europe itself does not have enough to sell it. Wait until it reaches
When we come to China, the day lilies are already cold.
Although Yijishan Hospital is well-known locally, most Chinese people still reject Western medicine. This time, a patient with acute appendicitis was cured through surgery. Such a small operation made the hospital's reputation much greater. Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acute appendicitis without a good solution has made Western medicine surgeons shine in Wuhu.
