836 Trade Development Corporation

This method also applies to Nüzhai, but unlike a family of immigrants, Nüzhai has only one "legal representative" who has a trade loan relationship with the development company, because labor and distribution within Nüzhai are basically publicly owned.

Obviously, the trade and development company did not leave the settlers to reclaim land without a plan, and one of the tasks of the company's president was to divide the land plots and manage and supervise the progress of the reclamation, and it was also necessary to set up boundary posts in some key areas - some places were to be preserved, such as some important coasts, some forests and transportation arteries, especially minerals, and the trade and development company retained ownership.

Another important business of the Trade Development Corporation is the management of lending and collection, because the company's business is essentially to handle all the output and all kinds of production and living materials needed by the immigrants on Zixia Island, the so-called supply and marketing cooperatives - at least in the early days of reclamation.

As a result, the company's day-to-day operations are cumbersome – whenever a ship from the open sea brings in a variety of supplies, the trade and development company needs to price the goods, and then sell them to the migrants in cash or on credit.

Of course, later, some materials that were not on credit were also put out, such as some very good production tools---- including improved iron plows and sickles and other iron tools, as well as very good quality Australian iron pots and bowls, oil lamps, knives, etc.

By the way, all the above-mentioned iron products are the business of Shuguang Machinery Factory, not only that, Boss Luo made full use of his company's equipment and technical advantages, and later made up "new products" including mechanical clocks, glass-covered gas lamps, hand-pressed steel tube wells, iron high-efficiency coal-fired stoves, manpower three-wheeled trucks, bicycles (simple version), flint lighters, etc., and unscrupulously named their products very famous brands in the old world - such as lighters, The Akebono Machinery Factory produces a wide range of brands, from Givenchy Cartier to Dupont Zippo......

In addition to the products of Shuguang Machinery Factory through the trade development company into thousands of households, Xiao Han boss's Ledi Department Store must not be willing to be lonely, and later appeared on the trade development company's counter of all kinds of bamboo pottery, needles, threads and flower cloth, etc., the vast majority of these goods are Nicole and Pride class sister ships from Dili, Macau, Ambon, Batavia, Xin'an City and other Nanyang ports purchased, but the owner behind the scenes is Ledi Department Store, Zixia Island Trade and Development Company is just the distributor of Ledi Department Store.

Gradually, the Zixia Island Trade and Development Company also came up with a variety of other goods, including all kinds of small goods that women liked, and even glass mirrors and glassware.

Of course, there are very few of these things, and the immigrants see more of them and buy fewer people.

Countless facts have proved that as long as the government does not toss the people around and let the people develop, then the people's own wisdom and diligence will create a vibrant and attractive market.

With the gradual stabilization of the living conditions of the immigrants, in the trade and development company, except for grain, edible oil and salt, which were sold on credit, other materials were bought with silver, because the immigrants gradually had silver in their hands - just Li Junming's wages spent on the "Zixia Island Construction" project were a lot of money, which made the immigrants' pockets gradually bulge a lot.

Later, the immigrants grew food and cash crops on their land, and some of them obtained various seeds through companies, most of which were obtained from the "Federal Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Industry Supply and Marketing Cooperative" established by Wang and Zhu, so that soon the fields were planted with various spices and oilseeds, such as sesame, peanuts and rapeseed.

According to the contract signed between the farmers and the trade and development company, the farmers sold most of the production to the development company, and of course, some of the production was processed by the farmers themselves---- so the people of the island planted fresh rapeseed oil and sesame oil, and some immigrants even went to the sea to reclaim the land, and they obtained the right to use a section of the coastline through the trade and development company, and finally built a salt boiling plant.

So later, the development company's sale of grain, oil and salt on credit was also canceled - many business-minded immigrants not only reclaimed the wasteland and farmed the land, but also opened oil mills, salt pot houses, and some also bought wood from the trade and development company to make furniture and sell - the undeveloped forest on the island belonged to the development company, and if you wanted wood, you had to find a company to buy it, of course, because the immigrants cut the wood and shipped it out by themselves, so the company sold it very cheaply......

This is how Zixia Island's economy gradually prospered.

At the beginning, the "Beishang Fund" voted through the board of directors to appoint Li Junming as the chairman and president of Zixiadao Trade and Development Company, but it was soon suggested that this appointment did not comply with the provisions of the just-passed "Federal Agency Act" - "Persons holding administrative public offices shall not serve as leaders of commercial institutions at the same time", and Li Junming also said that he was indeed a little impatient with these needles and threads. So he quickly resigned from this position.

However, at this time, Ke Wei Dongli and Li De Viagra on the island were holding many public positions, and theoretically speaking, no one could be the head of a commercial organization.

What's more, Ren Ke and his brothers are now all the masters of the sky---- Ren Ke said that the business of this so-called development company is basically no different from a grocery store, and they suggest that they simply hand it over to Han Letian to manage, anyway, he is an expert, and we are really too lazy to take care of it.

However, Han Lotian immediately responded in the telegram that the business of Ledi Department Store is becoming more and more complicated, and Ledi Department Store has already had business cooperation with Zixia Island Trade and Development Company, and it is already involved, in addition, he is now preparing to establish a bank, the name of which is "Federal Industrial and Commercial Bank", and he has obtained the "consent in principle" of the board of directors of the "North Fund" a while ago, and it is obvious that he can't get out of it at all.

So what to do? After some serious discussions, the board of directors of the "Northbound Fund" made a groundbreaking decision to make someone other than the time-traveler the head of the company.

Subsequently, Nicole brought a letter of appointment - Ms. Yang Qiaoqiao was hired as the executive president of Zixiadao Trade and Development Company, but the chairman was Lao Wang and Lao Zhu was the chairman of the board of supervisors.

This personnel arrangement actually made the "Australian Federal Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Industry Supply and Marketing Cooperative" established by Lao Wang and Lao Zhu a while ago become the de facto parent company of the development company, and later, Yu Hewei really made the Zixia Island Trade and Development Company become a subsidiary of the supply and marketing cooperative presided over by Lao Wang and Lao Zhu through a series of equity operations.

This also produced a chain reaction - because later practice proved that the combination of supply and marketing cooperatives and development companies is very successful, because the development company and the local farmers are very close, and the supply and marketing cooperatives obviously need these farmers very much - after all, for Lao Wang and Zhu, these farmers are both ideal labor and regular customers, although compared with the naturalization camp and manor, the intensive management advantages of planting and breeding are not obvious, but fortunately, there is a certain population size, And there is a considerable follow-up consumption capacity---- to put it bluntly, the industrial chain is very long, so Lao Wang and Zhu's "Australian Federal Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Industry Supply and Marketing Cooperative" later did well in Zixia Island.
