Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 266 Lao Cao, bring a brother

Brian's visit in the morning, some small things were settled, and everyone was happy afterwards. Wang Shouliang arranged for his men to receive him...

Well, Brian was also stimulated by the news that the Sihai Escort Agency had traveled more than 36 kilometers in less than 300 hours with several heavy artillery pieces two days ago.

His biggest pursuit was not how much to talk to Wang Shouliang or what to eat and drink here, but to find out how the Pearl River Freedom Truck pulled a Krupp 150MM heavy gun and drove at an average speed of 20 kilometers per hour for so long.

Louis and Leon of Hans Cat do not stay here to help his farm with the summer harvest, that is funny. They also want to spend more time and opportunities to get to know the Pearl River Freedom Truck, including the Xijiang Truck.

A group of ghost guys went to see the car after breakfast.

Wang Shouliang took a Pearl River sedan to go out and planned to check the harvesting situation on the farm. He saw that many hired farmers were still cutting wheat with sickles, which was normal.

The wooden carts and frame carts composed of steel supports and rubber pneumatic tires serve as another important means of transportation, whether they are pulled by people, mules, horses, or steam tractors.

These are the backbone of the transportation department.

Then the wheat thresher driven by the steam engine...

After all, Wang Shouliang was rich, and he didn't need a small amount of money to go to North America to order various agricultural machinery.

But he is not interested in the governor or anything, and the Thirteen Taibao of Dongting Lake are not having fun... Is this what Cao Guandai can ask?
Wang Shouliang looked at Cao Yun, then at the two daughters of the Jin family, and waved his hands dumbfounded, "Don't put such high hat on me, I know how much I have."

She wasn't a talkative, nor did she make a lifelong mistake when she saw Wang Shouliang. It was purely because of her father's words "I am the same" that made her embarrassed.

"It is the greatest honor of Cao Yun's life to be lucky enough to meet the big shopkeeper today. Yun even feels that China, which has been sinking for more than half a century, really has hope."

"He didn't come with me to consult on something. He just loved his daughter. He learned that Miss Cao was particularly curious about new girls' schools, including these new types of agriculture, so he brought Miss Cao to have a look."

"When it comes to the automobile industry, it is ahead of all the Western powers."

What he said was clear and logical.

Wang Shouliang was slightly stunned.

Wang Shouliang, "..."

Speechless, Jin Quan sped up and walked over to say hello and salute. A middle-aged man surnamed Cao also followed closely and exchanged polite greetings.

Wang Shouliang dispersed the cigarette smoke between the two of them and said with a smile, "You two don't have to be so polite. I'm quite upright. You traveled thousands of miles to come here, so you can't just say nice things, right?"

After dismissing Cao Yun casually, Wang Shouliang looked at Jin Quan and said, "Mr. Jin, I know that the drought in Eastern Shandong has not been small. My farm of more than 30 acres has a good harvest."

This is normal.

"Looking at the development of more than half a century, the big shopkeeper is really at the forefront and in the most advanced position. Not to mention that agricultural farming and harvesting have entered the era of steam and fuel power. Even in the new rural areas, every household has electricity and roads have been built. .”

Besides, a normal man would know at a glance that Cao Yun is more beautiful than his two daughters, Jin Quan, so he wouldn't mind doing some favors.

"Secondly, I heard about Sihai Farms in various parts of Shandong and Henan. Whether they use steam-fuel-powered deep well water for irrigation to alleviate drought, or mechanical threshing machines during harvest, they are all new to our land in China, so I shamelessly followed me. Come and gain knowledge.”

Cao Guan blushed and wanted to explain something. Cao Yun took a step forward, smiled and cupped his hands, "Big shopkeeper, we in China have learned from the foreigners to learn skills and conquer the foreigners since Wei Liangtu wrote the "Hai Guo Tu Zhi" more than 60 years ago. After the cautionary words.”

Led by Jin Quan, two men and three women quickly got out of the car, approaching with various emotions.

"I just hope they will show mercy..."

Wang Shouliang was listening to the report of another team leader when he saw Jin Quan and his party arriving in two Pearl River T cars. The cars pulled over and parked.

At this stage, Sihai Farm is chasing the agricultural production field in North America.

When Wang Shouliang looked at Cao... Cao Guandai said hurriedly, "Big shopkeeper, I am the same."

Again, since the Battle of Xiaoliuqiu in 1902...

How many towns are there in Beiyang? ! Just two associations in one town.

After some time, there was a crossroads connecting several farm life bases.

"But if you are interested in new agriculture and want to watch and satisfy your curiosity, I won't stop you. You can just visit."

After casually mentioning a topic that was both self-explanatory and formulaic, Jin Quan smiled and said, "As for the little girls Minzhi and Meili."

"First of all, they are curious about the new female education method led by the big shopkeeper, and want to come out and have a look."

Datou has sent people to congratulate him more than once. The people sent out came one after another, and he received a lot of gifts.

But what was Jin Quan doing here with his two daughters, the eldest was only 18 or 19 years old, and the younger was 13 or 14 years old? Are you kidding me?

I can also apply it to the knowledge and curiosity of several little girls.

Jin Quan glanced at Cao Guandai speechlessly, and said, "Cao Guandai is a veteran of Beiyang. His position is not high, but he is a good hand in leading troops in war."

Watching the wheat in the farmland being harvested and produced at a speed visible to the naked eye, Wang Shouliang was in a good mood. At this moment, Zhu Chuanwu, who had been appointed squadron leader, rode a bicycle and arrived near Wang Shouliang with two guards, and quickly saluted Reported something.

"I also happened to meet Cao Guandai, and I also knew that Miss Cao is a female talent who is not inferior to men, so I came to visit with their father and daughter."

Jin Quan didn't need to give face to a battalion-level officer. The other person's position was too middle-lower, but the relative of this officer was another Commander Cao, who was actually the boss of a 5000-person association.

Jin Quan waved his hand hurriedly, "The big shopkeeper is laughing. Jin came here. In addition to asking the big shopkeeper if he is interested in the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he also wants to consult with the Thirteen Taibao of Dongting Lake. If you don't have enough fun, everyone can do better. Cooperate with the Taibos."

If Jin Quan was accompanied by a follower, he would give gifts such as gold dragons, silver dragons, and golden sailing ships, and promise some official titles such as governor-general and admiral, and express some big-headed greetings and concerns.

………………

Except for Jin Minzhi and Jin Meili, who either shyly peeked at Wang Shouliang or did not dare to look at him, there was nothing wrong with these things on the surface.

When the news reached his ears, Wang Shouliang was surprised and said, "Jin Quan? Although there is a high probability that it is bullshit again, chatter, let's meet."

And the two behind Jin Quan? Governor Cao in Daoma Danli and Cao Yun, a progressive young woman? After all, this face is a bit too familiar.

"But there are still too many people in Ludong who can't afford to eat and escape."

"Year after year... there's no end to it?"

Jin Quan suddenly felt embarrassed and at a loss.

Even when Datou is here, there will be drought and flood. Who will care about the life and death of those mud-legged people?

That is to say, during this year's major disaster, Wang Shouliang asked farms in Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangsu to use a large amount of rice to help the victims in the surrounding areas, including his various aids to the victims in Hunan in the past two years...

In the hearts of traditional scholar-bureaucrats, they were simply overwhelmed.

No, this is an invitation.

If you say that you are inviting names, then the nature of it is different.

After feeling embarrassed for a few seconds, Jin Quan took a tentative step forward and lowered his voice a little, "Big shopkeeper, there are many old people here in Lu who like to make a fortune in years of famine."

"It would be nice if the Thirteen Taibao of Dongting Lake came here to cause trouble."

Those Thirteen Taibao water bandits who didn't even bother to change into the uniforms of the blue-shirted team of the Sihai Escort Bureau, and at most used canvas to cover up the name of the battleship, have really made a lot of noise from the beginning of January to now. However, Yan Lun, France and North America were too lazy to respond to the rescue of many white merchants who had been robbed.

Who else do you expect to stand up and say anything? To accuse Sihai Escort Agency? Isn’t that nonsense?

The ships and ships of food owned by the Thirteen Taibao water bandits were all flowed into the hands of the victims and refugees throughout Hunan at low prices.

Wang Shouliang was speechless, "Can you give me an example?"

Jin Quan, "..."

Lao Jin's eyes widened, he was deep in thought and entangled, as if he was being roasted on a fire rack to make a decision. Anyway, his emotions were so exciting and complicated that it made people think that this guy was a super movie king.

After a minute like this, Lao Jin grabbed Cao Guan's hand and said, "Old Cao, do you dare to transform into a Liangshanbo hero and go to Qufu to grab a handful?"

"If Qufu's money and food were used for disaster relief, I don't know how many people would be able to live a prosperous new year."

Cao Guandai stared in confusion for a few seconds, then nodded decisively, "As long as the big shopkeeper needs it, I'll risk it all. It's not difficult to drag hundreds of brothers out to grab a handful."

Lao Cao is a leader, the boss of a battalion of 500 people.

Will he suddenly transform from a regular guy into a Liangshanbo hero? ? How to say something? Good birds choose trees to roost in!

Look at Jin Quan's disciple Bai Xiongqi. Mr. Bai is not only the commander of the Guano Fleet, but he can occasionally negotiate directly with Yalun, France and other powers on behalf of the Sihai Escort Agency.

Various arrangements were made to purchase grain and entrust it to many farms all over the world, which was also for disaster relief... and to meet a large number of local prominent families, local tyrants and evil gentry in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui, and was held in high esteem by countless landlords, old wealthy and traditional scholars.

Lao Cao came here looking for an opportunity to see if he could become shopkeeper Wang to benefit his father-in-law. Even if his little cotton-padded jacket could become shopkeeper Wang's concubine, that would be a blessing in the sky.

But he is not afraid of difficulties if he is given the opportunity to try his hand at work.

To put it bluntly, Lao Cao in Daoma Dan is far from being as awesome as the other leader, Marshal Cao, but he also became a confidant of Datou for a time. He worked hard to betray the country because Datou wanted to "wear more clothes when the weather is cold", and was later betrayed by the progressive young daughter Cao Yun. Stab him to stop him from betraying the country.

Even if he knew his daughter's choice afterwards...he still hoped that his daughter could live when facing death.

To be able to fight in the Beiyang system, you have more or less your own abilities and strengths.

Wang Shouliang looked at Jin Quan and then at Cao Guandai, dumbfounded, "I have already negotiated with Yalun, Hans Mao and others."

"In the next period of time, my fleet will sail to Xiaoliuqiu to take on employment tasks from local landowners and wealthy businessmen to protect the safety of their homes."

"It is necessary to send several darts on land, or to arm the chief darts, and one of the squadrons must also be left behind."

"There is also the need to buy large rubber plantations in Kalimantan and build a squadron base, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources."

Cao Guandai was so excited that he saluted with a Beiyang salute, "Don't worry, Mr. Boss, I promise to let Qufu provide relief to the victims. If you fail to complete the task, I will come and see you."

Jin Quan, "..."

Jin Quan once again felt that Beiyang had been playing lonely these years.

In an era when giant ships and cannons are sweeping across the world, can the Sihai Escort Agency expand its escort scope to the Xiaoliuqiu Islands and Kalimantan after a few sea battles? ? Isn’t that right next door to the Strait of Malacca?

The hometown of Lanfang Republic? !

Let’s talk about the series of ports such as Lushun, Qindao and Shanghai. Jin Quan suddenly felt a little excited. Is it still too late for him to change jobs now?

………………

As night fell, Zhangqiu, Cao Guandai and Cao Yun sat together, drank a few sips of wine, and then said excitedly, "Xiaoyun, you will stay at Sihai Farm for now."

"Whether you stay here to visit modern farms, or find opportunities in the future to contact girls' schools in Shanghai or Hong Kong Island, it's all fine."

"You were also received by Shopkeeper Wang. With your appearance... No one dared to have any crooked ideas about you until the Shopkeeper made it clear that he was not interested in you."

"I'll leave after dinner and go back to the capital to recruit some brothers to work in Ludong."

"If the Thirteen Taibao of Dongting Lake are able to get along, I, surnamed Cao, can also try my luck as a Liangshanbo hero."

Cao Yun, "..."

She was speechless for a long time.

After dozens of seconds of silence, Cao Yun frowned and said, "Dad, you went to the capital to recruit people. Isn't this betrayal? Be careful..."

"I still think it would be good if you just look for an opportunity to join the Sihai Escort Agency. You have also experienced more than ten years of military career, your commanding skills are not bad, and you also know a certain amount of knowledge."

Cao Guandai waved his hand, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about me, I know what to do."

Beiyang's urine, he failed to lead people to escape, even if he was caught, he could return to Ludong after paying a sum of money to beg for mercy.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine and comforting Cao Yun, Cao Guan led Cao to the train station in excitement.

………………

A few days later, in a certain Beiyang garrison where management was not very strict, Cao Guandai hosted a banquet at his home for a group of colleagues and subordinates.

When he picked up a bowl of wine, he looked at the familiar faces on the left and right, "Team Supervisor Liu, Captain Zhang, Platoon Leader Li..."

"Everyone should know how my old Cao has treated you over the years."

"They are brothers. They consider me, Lao Cao, as brothers. Let's drink and do it!"

The scene was a little stressful, mainly because of Cao Guan's words, which made people who came to have a drink in a happy and open mood suddenly felt the pressure of "there may be a trap today".

Pressure returned to pressure, Captain Liu still laughed and drank, "Old Cao, seeing what you said, who doesn't know that you are a just and heroic man, and you always think about your brothers?"

"Cheers, no matter what happens, we brothers will definitely go forward and retreat with you!"

"Anyway, your other brother Cao is a popular figure in the eyes of the commander-in-chief. How many commanders do you have in the entire Beiyang town?"

There are only six governors and a dozen commanders in Beiyang. Which one is the little guy?
When the others heard this, they all raised their glasses in relief and celebrated. Yes, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. They are in charge of their eldest brother, who is related to them and has an old relationship with them. That is the big boss.

Drink wine and eat meat.

The atmosphere became lively, and Cao Guandai couldn't help but was speechless. After a round of greetings, Lao Cao raised his glass again, glanced at the crowd, and the crowd gradually calmed down, then he lowered his voice and said, "I want to join the boss of the Sihai Escort Bureau, Mr. Wang. "

"I plan to find a group of brothers to try it out together."

Captain Liu, "Fuck..."

Team Officer Zhang, Platoon Leader Li and others also made noises one after another.

The scene quickly fell into a dead silence, which lasted for dozens of seconds. Captain Liu drank heavily again, "Damn it, you told me earlier, who doesn't know the reputation of King Nantian?"

"This is such a great career, Lao Cao, you must bring a brother with you!"
