Nanyang 1931: From piglets to giants

Chapter 50: Selling goods to three stores?

half a month later.

"Ha~hu~ha~hu~"

This happened seven or eight times on the plane. Zheng Yi couldn't help falling asleep while learning to fly and fell asleep again.

"Hey, Lao Zheng, Lao Zheng? Mr. Zheng? Damn, you fell asleep again. Do you really want to learn how to fly a plane?"

"Hmm? Hmm?" Zheng Yi suddenly woke up, then hurriedly wiped away his non-existent saliva and said, "Sorry, I fell asleep again. I'm really sorry. You teach me, I'm listening."

Wang Qiaoyun: "Hmph! You must have stayed up all night drawing up designs again last night. How many hours of sleep do you get these days? Are you trying to kill yourself? Don't think you won't die of exhaustion just because you're young."

"Ah~, yesterday I helped Master Liu inspect the goods with the British Electricity people. From now on, Master Liu's vulcanized rubber can be used directly as insulation for wires and cables, which will give us another big sales channel.
This also proves that the reeling machine I made earlier is successful, so I can collect the final payment from him without worry, and the machinery factory has a new flagship product."

"Since you're so busy negotiating during the day, why don't you stop drawing designs at night? It won't kill you to draw later. If you draw so many, the factory workers won't be able to finish them all."

"No, it's urgent. This thing I'm working on is very important. And you don't know, I only have less than ten years to do it. I have to be anxious."

"Why are you in such a hurry? You're not going to die in ten years. If you keep doing this, you might die before ten years!"

Zheng Yi: "Don't worry, I know my body. I'm busy now, but it's just for a while. I'll be fine once this period is over."

"Okay, okay, I give in. I don't care whether you're busy or not. Do you still want to learn how to fly a plane?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I must learn."

"Then take a good look at this watch. See? This represents our altitude. Now, it means we're flying a little too low. Planes are different from delta-wing aircraft. We need to..."

"Ha~"

"Old Zheng?"

"Whoo~"

"Fuck, he fell asleep again."

Zheng Yi was indeed too tired. He had too much to do recently and had to draw a lot of design drawings.

Zhong Zhaolin was about to arrive, and he thought of a way. If successful, he might be able to keep Zhong Zhaolin and start an electric motor factory with him. It might even be possible to produce the world's top electrical equipment, allowing Nanyang's industrialization process to move forward in great strides and avoid ten or even dozens of years of hard detours.

In addition, the powered delta-wing plant in Penang is about to start production. Li Huaishuang told him that the blast furnace has been unloaded and loaded onto the ship, and it will arrive in two months. He also has to be busy with the preparations for the construction of the steel plant. In addition to the matters of Taiyou Machinery, sometimes he even has to meet with customers.

His daytime time was completely occupied with no time left for him, so he could only sacrifice his sleep time at night and squeeze out some energy to draw.

As for struggle, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was the general manager of these companies. If you round it off, it was almost the same as working for himself. Besides, this was a critical period for the country's destiny, and special times required special spirits.

To be honest, although I am busy, I am still very happy.

It is no exaggeration to say that sometimes when Zheng Yi is so busy that he feels dizzy, he really has a great sense of accomplishment that he is experiencing a great journey, engraving historical achievements, writing a glorious chapter of the times, and even being a pillar of the world.

This feeling is actually very refreshing.

However, Zheng Yi himself didn't know what was going on. As soon as he got on Wang Qiaoyun's plane, he would feel particularly sleepy.

He could still hold on at other times, but being on a plane was too boring and the cockpit was a bit stuffy. He didn't know why, but after learning to fly for more than a month, he always felt sleepy easily, like a poor student.

Most of the time, learning about flying airplanes ends up being a way to catch up on sleep.

"Whoo~"

The cockpit is narrow.
It was already a bit crowded for two people to sit in the room. After sleeping like this, Zheng Yi couldn't help but lower his head, and it happened to rest on Wang Qiaoyun's shoulder.

Wang Qiaoyun couldn't help but blush. This wasn't even the first time.

Instinctively, Wang Qiaoyun wanted to say something bad, wake Zheng Yi up and scold him.

Just looking at Zheng Yi's face from the side, which was obviously a little haggard, Wang Qiaoyun somehow couldn't bear to call him.

This month, Wang Qiaoyun worked as Zheng Yi's driver, oh no, as the vice president, and in fact, she did a lot of the work of Zheng Yi's assistant.

So he knew very well how busy and tired Zheng Yi was during the day.

Despite such a high workload, he can still squeeze out time at night and come up with a design drawing every now and then. In Wang Qiaoyun's opinion, even if Zheng Yi is made of iron, he can't do this.

However, she could see more clearly why Zheng Yi was so busy. Taiyou Machinery, Kuala Lumpur, Malaya, and even the entire Nanyang had undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few months since Zheng Yi came into being.

Who could have imagined in the past that the Chinese could drive the British into bankruptcy?

Who would have thought that the people of Nanyang could actually produce car tires and wires and cables?

Old Zheng is really single-handedly leading the entire Nanyang to progress and transformation.

She even felt that it was an honor to be Zheng Yi's driver and his assistant, and that she had made her own contribution to such a great cause.

"Hey~"

"Really."

"I'll tire you to death."

"Forget it, just use your pillow. I don't have a boyfriend anyway, so you're in luck."

Thinking of this, Wang Qiaoyun blushed, but she held Zheng Yi's head again and slightly adjusted the position of her shoulders.

Let him pillow it more comfortably.

………………

three days later.

Li Huaishuang sent a message that the steel furnace had sailed safely after being loaded onto the ship, and he just had to wait.

He, along with Wang Zhu, Zhong Zhaolin, and a leader named Zhou Zhirou, will take time out to fly to Kuala Lumpur in six days. Especially this leader named Zhou, he wants to discuss with him the purchase of powered delta wings and the introduction of technology.

During the six days of waiting, the people from the central government did not arrive, but the third young master of their Li family arrived first.

Li Xiaowei, a major officer serving in the Guangxi Gui clique, suddenly returned home to visit his family.

Immediately afterwards, the Second Military Farm arrived almost at the same time as Li Xiaowei. He Shili, the major battalion commander of the Northeast Army, also got ahead of Li Huaishuang and Zhou Zhirou and came by plane.

It is said that the He family and the Li family are old friends, and He Shili knew everyone in the Li family and was very familiar with them, so he simply arranged for them to stay in Li Garden first.

He knew that they were all here to buy powered delta wings. The Central Army was the Central Army, and the Northeast Army was the Northeast Army. It seemed that the Guangxi clique, relying on the third son of the Li family being in the Guangxi clique, seemed to want to use this relationship to intervene and get in the way, or even intend to get ahead of the Central Army and the Northeast Army.

The country was in crisis, and the Kwantung Army had hundreds of thousands of soldiers sharpening their swords on the front lines. According to history, the Battle to defend the Great Wall would only last for one or two months.

It’s fucking hard to buy a plane without so many partners.

Zheng Yi really didn't know what to say.
