The Dog Eye returned to Hangzhou from Dayuan on October 24, and when it returned, it was not loaded with any goods, and it was almost empty. Even if it was empty, even if it could sail at night, due to the wrong wind direction, the Dog Eye was still forced to take an anti-submarine route on the sea, and finally returned to Hangzhou after 11 days.

After a few days of rest in Hangzhou, the Dogyan rushed to Dayuan with a newly purchased sand boat, and passed by two other sand boats on the way with difficult anti-submarine operations.

The two ships still carried 100 laborers each, as well as rice, some cloth, and daily groceries. The traversers stranded in Hangzhou all boarded the ship this time, including the last bit of reinforced concrete reserves, and transported them all to Dayuan.

Dayuangang is particularly lively today. More than a month ago, two sand boats set out from Hangzhou, and the others stood on the shore waving goodbye, and now everyone is gathering on the shore, and the pioneers have become the boat pickers.

As of the moment of gathering, the number of traversers who came to Daming one after another, including Cao Chuan, was 88, and the total number of laborers controlled by the traversal forces was 750, not including the natives and Japanese who could be hired at any time.

In the past month or so that he has been in Dayuan, he has eliminated the Dutch and Japanese forces, recruited the indigenous force of the Shinko Society, and made his decree pass through the controlled area without hindrance, and the prestige of the traverser is like thunder among the other natives.

repaired the Dayuan Commercial Hall, built two new bases in the kiln area and Chikan, and dredged Xingang Creek...... It's quite rewarding to think about it.

That night, Xia Xianze held a banquet, which was attended by all the people who were in the audience. Before the banquet, Mr. Xia delivered a speech entitled "Time Doesn't Wait", calling on all the traversers to unite, race against time, fight and build at the same time, and fight for everyone's "own career" to the end!

There were whistles and applause.

A few cases of German dark beer and Niulanshan Erguotou that Mr. Cao had ordered from the supermarket were swept away that night, in fact, all the wine was drunk, farewell, canned dark beer.

Early the next morning, the general meeting of shareholders was held on time in the big office, and the meeting was broadcast live on the forum, mainly to announce the family background and discuss the next plan.

There were 550,000 taels of silver in the company's accounts, and 220,000 taels of these taels were old silver bars and silver coins of the Dutch and Japanese.

The rest are the silver ingots and silver bars that Mr. Cao has poured from later generations. At the beginning, Mr. Cao brought 50 taels of silver ingots, and later after the space was tight, it was changed to 925 silver bars, and he mixed some lead and tin with himself and then cast them into ingots, and then the space was even tighter, and some of the silver bars were replaced by pearl necklaces.

A perfectly round (walking bead), good quality, 1 cm diameter Wuxian seedless cultured pearl, can easily sell in Hangzhou for 50 to 70 taels of silver. However, the pearl thing is progressive, 10 of the same pearls are strung into jewelry, 500 taels can not be bought, but the volume of 10 pearls is very small, smaller than 50 taels of silver ingots, which can save space.

In addition to being a little slower to realize, pearls are much more cost-effective than silver, so the company now has hundreds of pearls of various colors in stock, which can be regarded as the cash base of the crossing forces.

......

All kinds of imported materials are controlled by the first key department of the crossing force: the "Import Materials Management Committee", of course, the chairman must be Xia Xianze, which is a must-have town house.

Then Xia Xianze posted the list of materials on the forum. In fact, the shareholders still have a number of materials in the warehouse, because every time Cao Chuan brings the boxes, they are personally moved and unloaded by the traversal.

22 cubic meters, equivalent to the transportation volume of a medium-sized container of goods, at the beginning were all in a hurry, and later Lao Xia found that someone was stealing cigarettes while unloading, so he changed to a designated person to load and unload, but others can watch it, so everyone knows what goods there are.

There are many varieties in the list of goods, including guns and ammunition, medicines, reinforced concrete, and mechanical parts, and the above are large quantities. Other daily necessities are also in reserve, which are essentially allocated on demand, such as the crossing of people who work in the field can apply for hiking shoes, and the final decision is made by the committee.

The food was long gone, and the wine was just finished yesterday, so it was crossed off the list.

There are so many family backgrounds in total, and since Cao Chuan crossed for the first time, all the materials he has saved are here.

......

There was no gold on the company's books, and the gold was taken away by Cao Chuan. Cao Chuan also took with him from the Ming Dynasty mahogany furniture and seal stones, as well as a small amount of groceries.

All in all, Cao Chuan's recent return cabin is still free.

After surviving the initial frenzied expansion, the business empire that Cao Chuan built in later generations has entered a stage of smooth operation. Several domestic and foreign furniture factories of different brands, several domestic and foreign antique shops, two small auction houses that secretly hold shares, some warehouses and real estate distributed in various places, and many shell companies......

In this case, the complete sets of mahogany antique furniture and high-quality bloodstone that are easy to attract the attention of people are no longer Cao Chuan's priority items to collect, on the contrary, some inconspicuous mahogany strips are the best choice.

These original strips can be silently turned into modern high-end furniture, appearing in some ordinary furniture cities, although the income is a little less, but it is also relative, and stable and safe. You must know that the furniture brands he bought are themselves more or less profitable.

The Dog's Eye came with the ship with twelve cubic meters of mahogany strips, as for the mahogany furniture, there is only one set, too much is useless, and now it will take a long time before the auction will be organized.

Due to the latitude problem in Taiwan, there is no large number of mahogany produced, and there are a few occasional trees, and it is not worth looking for them in the dense forest. The most expensive wood found locally is Taiwanese ebony, which is not expensive and sells by the ton, unlike those rosewoods that are sold by catties.

Therefore, in the next period of time, Cao Chuan's plane trading will have a period of unprofitable - the kiln area is about to be prepared.

At that time, Cao Chuan will go back and forth several times a day to transfer the expensive industrial equipment that has been prepared.

The equipment has long been listed by Zou Guoqing, in order to run as long as possible in the Middle Ages, the equipment and accessories are high-end products that are not brainlessly selected, and some accessories are customized when time comes.

Even if it is a common brick making machine in the countryside, the bearing is SKF of Sweden, the mold is ASSAB, and the motor has to be Siemens...... This kind of perverted thing made the purchasing manager hired by Cao Chuan puzzled, full of doubts, and full of suspicions.

Recently, this product has begun to clear the suspicions, probe the brain, and secretly investigate. Probably when he was looking for a job, he really thought that he got this lucrative job based on his talent, and he didn't connect his Tiansha Lone Star's file with his job at all. But it doesn't matter, soon he will be able to reunite with these mentally retarded and perverted equipment he purchased, and maybe he will have to operate the Swedish brick machine himself.
