Chapter 1055 Doing Business Seriously ([-])

Walking all the way back to the dormitory building, going upstairs and returning to her own room, Zhao Lin helped Qi Ke take off the cloak and hang it on the hanger, watched her open an entrance and exit of Qianhejing in the room, went back and changed into home clothes, and brought a plate I can eat it.

"I'm just hungry." Qi Ke always loves all kinds of grilled chicken wings. He pulls out the chair and sits down to eat. He is already an expert at removing chicken bones. On the one hand, the chicken is stuffed in one bite, it is really fragrant.

"I haven't noticed it all the time. I just found out that you have made great progress after coming to the workshop."

"What?" Qi Ke was busy tearing apart the bones of the second chicken wing, but couldn't hear what Zhao Lin said, "What's the progress?"

"Your physical strength, just walking around this time, if you have been panting for such a distance before."

"Eh?" Qi Ke thought for a while with the chicken in his mouth, then smiled and narrowed his eyes, "It seems to be eh~ Daily exercise will finally pay off~"

"Since it's so effective, will you come back after the Chinese New Year?"

"Well, let's do the math first and see if the 1000 taels in the village can be withdrawn with interest. It is agreed that a school and a clinic will be built in the future. Once construction starts, I will definitely stay in the village for a while."

"Okay, let's settle the accounts first."

So in the following time, Qi Ke concentrated on eating grilled chicken wings, and Zhao Lin got the account book from the maid who acted as the accountant, and calculated the income and expenditure and dividends.

As soon as Zhao Lin came back, Qi Ke relaxed a lot. Unlike before, she was always tense in her mind. She was afraid that those apprentice-level female workers would have to make up their minds about any emergencies. on the outside.

Qi Ke didn't finish a plate of chicken wings, so Zhaolin finished the accounts. The only big order that has been delivered so far is the processing of incoming materials from General Bai. The rest of the yarn income comes from the retail sales of cotton cloth stores in the county. It is temporarily unfeasible to take out the 1000 taels of silver invested in the village public account together with the principal and interest.

"Judging from the gossip brought by Lao Fang and the others, the news must have spread across the local area. Merchants in the textile business may still wait and see. Our cotton comes from overseas. In the eyes of others, shipping by sea is risky, and there are pirates at sea. If you want to make a vote at any time, the supply of goods is too unstable, and the quality of cotton is not worth the risk." Zhao Lin analyzed.

"So we have to give confidence to our peers. Confidence is more important than gold." Qi Ke smiled playfully.

"When the ocean fleet comes again, confidence will be there." As long as the wait-and-see merchants believe that the supply of goods is stable, business will come. Who doesn't want high-quality goods that are worth the money.

"That's coming soon." Qi Ke opened his mouth wide with a smile on his face, and stuffed the last piece of chicken wing into his mouth, chewing happily.

The arrival of the Ocean fleet was indeed fast. On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhaolin received the news that the Ocean had encountered a pirate patrol ship. There was a distance between the two sides. There were two patrol ships, but the size of the ship was just the same The bucket boats that were snatched last time were almost the same. Facing a monster like the ocean fleet, the pirates didn't make a move and just followed along.

The pirates didn't do anything, Qi Ke and Zhao Lin meant to keep the status quo, if the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, if the pirates keep following, just let them see where the ocean fleet is berthing.

The pirate alliance has always been a big hidden danger in shipping. Now that the pirates don't go ashore, and the Bai family army doesn't go into the water, the two sides are in the stage of flirting with each other. Qi Ke wants to use the ocean ship to stir up the pirates' anger and see if they will do something. What a fool.

Bai Jiajun, a group of landlubbers from the north, needs a boat without a boat. From training soldiers to being able to go to sea to fight, it takes at least ten or eight years and a lot of money investment. The century-old navy is not just for fun. The navy, army and air force belong to the navy The most expensive.

Under the premise that it is difficult for the Bai family army to form a combat force at sea in the short term, the pirates can only be counted on to be stupid.
