Section 850 Raymond the Gardener

Breathless, Scofa rushed to the Moon Bazaar, the largest flower market in Rising Sun City, and found the young foreigner Raymond, who was setting up a stall selling his rose essential oil and flower seeds, but there was no one to visit him.

Raymond is a Dutchman who arrives in the magic capital of Rising Sun with the dream of making a fortune.

Over the years, the order on the eastern side of the Strait of Malacca has been very good, fair trade, guaranteed quality of goods, and there are no robbers fighting with open fire.

The red-haired fans engaged in ocean trade have a lot of gains, they are well-dressed and generous, of course, they will not talk about Somali pirates and Cape of Good Hope storm such disappointing things, only that the East is full of gold!

There is a lot of money in the East, people are stupid, come quickly!

So it attracted a large number of red-haired adventurers to the East, and Raymond was one of them, and he also took advantage of this craze for great voyages to arrive at Rising Sun City on an ocean-going trading ship.

He came with a lot of rose seeds and a lot of rose oil!

It turned out that his family was an ancestral gardener, and he was good at cultivating roses and knew how to steam rose essential oil.

Native to China and cultivated for a long time, roses are taxonomy from Rosa rugosa, a shrub of the genus Rosaceae, and "rose" is now often referred to as another name for a series of large, showy cultivars of the genus Rosaceae, which can also be referred to as modern moons or modern roses (which look different from true roses).

In ancient Rome, rose petals were soaked in water to make rose water, and rose petals were sprinkled on the ground during banquets. Cleopatra is said to have applied the highest grade of Damascus rose essential oil to her skin while covering her bed with rose petals to greet her lover, the ancient Roman commander Antony, in a mesmerizing scent.

Westerners are very fond of roses, rose essential oil is more expensive than gold, two drops can make a liter of water become fragrant, fragrant, refreshing.

With the dream of making a lot of money, Raymond has a high asking price and wants to make a fortune with rose essential oil.

But what he never expected was that Chinese like incense, dried spices in the closet or on the body, so long-lasting.

Similar to rose essential oil, incense is fragrant, it is volatile, it is gone, and it is very expensive, and savvy Chinese do not do this kind of loss-making business!

The market for such rose essential oil is so bad, poor Raymond is so embarrassed that he can't eat!

He also brought a large number of rose seeds, carefully packed them, and tried to develop his great cause of rose cultivation in the East, but unfortunately before he could start, he was about to starve to death.

Relying on the help of his fellow villagers, there is a Catholic church in the Rising Sun, where he goes to eat free meals, but he has no money to buy a ticket home, unless he is a contract slave to buy a ticket--- sells himself to get a sum of money, and earns back this money through labor.

The future of indentured slaves was bad, and it was good luck that they did not have to work in the colonies on the other side of the Indian Ocean, but it was also very hard.

The tragic thing is to sell to unscrupulous Chinese to develop the island, the boss of the southeast province has an edict saying that Han'er is not a slave, but he did not say that other races are not slaves, so the Chinese and the white people collude to trade slaves together to do hard work and heavy work, except for the Chinese who are not sold, the rest of the races have everything, this is a very promising business.

One of the favorite slaves is the island natives, Ah San and the white people!

On the contrary, blacks and West Asians, Arabs, and Turks were not brought in much, and I heard that it was an instruction from above.

There are also indentured slaves who work on ships, which is extremely risky at sea, and they are more likely to become pirates......

It seems that business is hopeless, and he is already considering this possibility. (Raymond's capital didn't spend much, not like the red-haired fan who jumped off the building borrowed a loan shark, otherwise Raymond would have to find out which building was higher).

Fortunately, Shi Kefa, who was sweating and smelling of sweat, came to him like an angel and saved him!

Shi Kefa, who had sharpened his head everywhere before, had also passed by Raymond twice, and had seen Raymond's display, but he had overlooked him when he saw Raymond's bleak market.

But Shi Kefa is Shi Kefa after all, and he heard the phrase "A woman's money is the best to make!" ", let him have an idea: "People abandon me and take it!" ”

If you can't enter other markets at all, then develop new products and open new markets!

Shi Kefa is ambitious, not only satisfied with simply being a township mayor and handling government affairs, but also developing the local GDP and showing his talents.

He didn't expect that his psychology was the same as that of the officials of the new Ming Dynasty in the southeast government, in addition to maintaining social order, he also had to care about the welfare of the people and GDP, and the latter two were new challenges.

After Shi Kefa invited Raymond to eat a meal of donkey meat (which he could only afford), Raymond sold himself cleanly.

He took a stake in technology and got 10 percent of the shares.

Raymond also had no meat to eat for many days, and eating the donkey meat that was more beautiful than the dragon meat in the sky made him unable to maintain a tougher position, and he was afraid that if the price was too high and the Chinese would not cooperate, then he would have to work as a contract slave to earn enough money for a ferry ticket back to his hometown.

However, Shi Kefa promised him that even if he expanded his shares in the future, he would not need to pay more than Raymond, and he would always have ten percent of the shares, unless he was stupid enough to sell these shares.

Fortunately, roses like warm climate, sunny and moderate rainfall, hardy, drought-tolerant, waterlogging, suitable for fertile, loose, well-drained light loam or loam soil.

Speaking of which, Raymond has a heart, he actually learned some Chinese, even with comparisons, and was able to communicate with Shi Kefa.

After hearing Scofa's description of the situation in Bali, it would be nice to hear that there are mountains there! Raymond patted his chest and said that cultivation is not difficult at all, wrap it around me.

Shi Kefa said with a smile: "I hope you are right, otherwise I will entrust my future and net worth to you, if you fail, I will put you in a sack and throw you into the sea!" ”

"Oh my God, look at the way you speak, how can you be so savage!" Raymond paddled the crossroads.

"I'm not a barbarian, because our leader is barbaric, this land was not his before, he took you Dutch, he killed ten thousand Dutch, put a thousand of them in sacks and threw them into the sea!" Scofa simply scared him.

"Scared!" Poor Raymond, the gardener, couldn't help but say with a change of color on his face, after all, he was still a young man who had nothing to do.

With technology and funds, the system of the Southeast Prefecture is still very good, Shi Kefa invited Lei Meng to live in his house, and then worked hard for a night, and the next day he went to the Township Enterprise Bureau under the Ministry of Finance of the Southeast Prefecture to apply for funds, and the officials inside received him.

Shi Kefa introduced himself and confidently presented his plan to the officials, in which he indicated that he would introduce and grow roses, refine rose essential oil, and find ways to open up the market!

This is a new path, and officials applaud.

However, the procedures are a bit troublesome, and Township Chief Shi has not officially taken office yet!

In the past, it was all officials who came to the ministry to ask for money, but now that Township Chief Shi has not taken office, he has asked for money, something he has never seen.

Why don't you go back first and wait for us to study the notice?!

Or do you take office first and come later?

The official was very polite and did not say anything to death.

Shi Kefa returned home first, he prepared with both hands, booked a ticket, and waited for the notice on the other hand.

A day later, the news came, and the Township Enterprise Bureau agreed to his application and gave him a start-up capital of 3,000 silver dollars on a special basis!
