Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 107 Preliminary Conception of Hanyao Trading Co., Ltd.

Xia Yuanzhang and Zhu Chunshan were in charge after the visit of the Russian Chamber of Commerce to the flour mill. Hearing what Zhu Chunshan said, Benarev came here from the Far East. He was surprised to see the flour mill that was in full production every day. After accounting, I agreed with Zhu Chuanwen's high-return account book.

Benalev is self-aware, and he also told the Russian businessman his interests. Without an industrial chain like Zhu Chuanwen, it would be impossible to make such a high return. Before thinking about him, the factory always faced the problem of insufficient raw materials. But it took two years to recover the cost.

But even so, everyone in the Russian Chamber of Commerce is still very excited, as if they have mastered some wealth code.

It was not that no one set up factories in Bingcheng, but most of the employees were Russians who came to the Far East from Russia.Except for the low price of raw materials, the rest is no different from that in the home country.

At the end of 1905, Zhu Chuanwen was warmly received by the Russian Chamber of Commerce, and he officially entered the circle of Russian businessmen.

December of 1905 passed, but Zhu Chuanwen wondered, do Russians celebrate Christmas?
But the doubts did not last for a few days. From the beginning of January 1906, the streets of Bingcheng, especially the overseas Chinese community, were full of festive atmosphere.It turns out that the Russians still have a Russian calendar for celebrating Christmas, which falls on December 1th in the Russian calendar and January 12th in the Gregorian calendar.

Various stores began to supply slaughtered (eviscerated) geese from about January 1st. People filled the belly of the bought goose with apples, bread and oiled shallots, added various condiments, and roasted them as the Russian version. Christmas staple.

On Christmas Day, Andre also invited Zhu Chuanwen and Wisconfu to his home for the holiday, because Orthodox Christians fasted all day on Christmas Eve and could not break their fast until evening.

So Andre was hungry all day. Although dinner was elegant at night, Zhu Chuanwen still saw the eagerness for food. The staple food was goose meat, served with a kind of bread called "Suoqin", and honey sweet porridge.

It also feels like eating roast duck.

After the dinner, Zhu Chuanwen and Andre gathered in the study again.

"The Russian Chamber of Commerce has already started to apply for a loan with the bank. Don't worry, the flour mill will still give you the order." Andre rarely comforted Zhu Chuanwen.

In fact, Zhu Chuanwen is not worried about the order of the flour mill. Now that the flour mill is full of production, it is very troublesome to start the steam engine, so Zhu Chuanwen's factory is almost implementing two shifts, 14 hours during the day and 10 hours at night, every month Rotate once.

In order to be able to work at night, the flour mill applied for electricity from the Russian power plant in the expatriate area when construction started, and wooden poles were regularly erected in the factory area.

Now that Hanyao flour has gained a reputation, even if there is no military supply from the Russians, the market is still in short supply.But leaving this part, it can be considered that Zhu Chuanwen has always existed in order to strengthen the connection with Andre. How can any relationship be more secure than that made of gold?
"My lord, don't worry!" Zhu Chuanwen first thanked Andre for his concern. "What factory will the Chamber of Commerce build in Ice City?"

"I read the construction intention they submitted. In the future, printing, food, paper, soap, match, glass, and cigarette factories will be built in Ice City." Andre said, and then picked up a copy on the table. Pass the information in Russian to Zhu Chuanwen: "I heard that you want to do the oil extraction business?" Andre asked rarely.

"Yes sir."

"If I were you, I'd trade soybeans."

"En?" Zhu Chuanwen looked at Andre with some doubts. In Zhu Chuanwen's heart, he always believed that reselling raw materials did not make as much profit as finished products.

"This is an internal document transferred from Russia. You can take it with you."

"Thank you for your hospitality." Upon hearing this, Zhu Chuanwen also knew that Andre was telling him to leave.

Zhu Chuanwen left, and Andre asked Wisconfu to come to his study.

"How's the Mongolian government?" Andre asked as soon as Wisconfu entered the door.

"The shelves have already been set up, and they are all sent from the port of Vladivostok (Vladivostok)." Wisconf said.

The Mongolian government was the important work of Russia in the Far East in 1906. It is needless to say the intention is to split the connection between the princes of Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty. South Manchuria is lost in the north of Changchun. The Russians have not changed their nature and are eyeing Mongolia .

"That's good, you have full power to keep an eye on it, you want money for money, you want supplies for supplies, and you want people for people!" Andre had ordered Wisconf. Although the Mongolian government was established in Ice City, Andre also He is only the commander of the garrison military region, and has no jurisdiction over it. The Far East Command directly coordinates it. As long as he supports Andre well, it will be considered a great achievement.

……

Back at his home, Zhu Chuanwen looked at the information Andre handed him.

It can be regarded as the analysis data within Russia, mainly talking about the improvement of the fertility of the land by bean cakes. In other words, bean cakes can not only be sold to the breeding industry, but also very attractive to farmers.

The above clearly analyzes why Japan is in such a hurry to get the business rights of Ice City. The surrounding area of ​​Ice City is a vast plain area, and it is also the center for planting soybeans in the entire surrounding area.

Japan lacks land that can be planted, so food production is related to its own people's livelihood, and because of the Russo-Japanese War, North Korea's soybean production was reduced in 1905, and it was not known what happened in 1906.Only then did preparations be made for a rainy day. The Japanese are very interested in the soybeans in the Northeast.

It can be said that the railway hub of Bingcheng will make Bingcheng become the center of the soybean trading market in the entire North Manchuria in the future, and the rush to trade soybeans with the Qing Dynasty is what Japan wants to do now.

Andre's disclosure of this news to Zhu Chuanwen is a reward for Zhu Chuanwen to stabilize the mood of Russian businessmen and persuade them to open factories in Bingcheng.Obviously, the Russian Chamber of Commerce will also know this news, but it is just to make money from the Japanese together.Zhu Chuanwen thought about it.

Then the matter of the oil mill can be postponed for a while. Whether it is necessary to set up a firm to trade with the Japanese after this year has become a choice for Zhu Chuanwen now.

Thinking in the study, Zhu Chuanjie knocked on the door and came in, interrupting Zhu Chuanwen's train of thought.

"Brother, this is a letter from me to my second brother, and from the Xia family brothers and sisters." Zhu Chuanjie said.

"Okay, I will ask someone to send it to Chuanwu tomorrow." Zhu Chuanwen said after accepting the two letters in Chuanjie's hand.

"One more thing, brother."

"Ok?"

"The middle school will be on vacation from next week. Can you find me some teachers for some subjects? I want to finish the courses in the middle school as soon as possible." Zhu Chuanjie put forward his request again.

Seeing Chuanjie like this, Zhu Chuanwen knew that Zhu Chuanwu must have bragged about his academic excellence in the letter to Chuanjie, which stimulated this "little adult".

"Chuanjie, where does the saying that haste makes waste come from?"

"The Analects of Confucius Zilu."

"What about Sima Qian's "Yu Wang Le Dao Shu"?"

Zhu Chuanjie thought for a while and said, "Haste makes waste. How can a half-year-old disease be cured overnight?"

"That's right, studying, haste makes waste. The holiday is coming soon. You should also relax. You can learn more easily by combining work and rest. During this holiday, review more, review more." Zhu Chuanwen rubbed Chuanjie as he said. Looking at his slightly haggard little face, knowing that Zhu Chuanwu's guy is thousands of miles away and causing trouble for him, he is really angry.

Chuanjie nodded and went out. Zhu Chuanwen didn't care if he listened or not.

However, he made up his mind to let Chuanjie relax. If he can't find a craftsman who can carve, he can enroll in a hobby class.
