The feast of the French was so torturous that it ended at nine o'clock in the evening. Hu Wenkai saw Wilton yawning and standing up, ready to say goodbye with Dewey and the others. Wilton left him and asked Adele to take him to the study and asked him what to drink, and Hu Wenkai asked for a cup of tea after Adele left the study.

After Wilton came in, he closed the door and said, "Hu Wenkai was right by you, and the Far East is estimated to not be able to last for a year or two." ”

"What's the matter, it's too fast."

"There is no foundation, as you say, Kolchak did not establish a grassroots regime, there was no demographic advantage. There were a lot of deserters, and the situation was very erosive. Wilton sighed.

"There's nothing wrong with the marshal."

"There is nothing to do for the time being, but he can't get out, he is now the Minister of the Navy of the Far Eastern Government stationed in Vladivostok and the commander of the city defense of Vladivostok."

"Mr. Consul, don't worry, the marshal has a ship in his hand and can finally evacuate by sea."

"Well, no one can say for sure, little Apleev and the marshal's family will arrive in Shanghai at the end of the year, you are responsible for arranging for me to return to Paris next week to report on work, and I may not be able to come back before the year, you can find Dewey if you have something."

Hu Wenkai said: "Mr. Consul, rest assured, the marshal is a shareholder of my company, and this is what I should do. ”

Wilton lit a cigarette in his hand and said: "There is also a large backlog of aid in Vladivostok, and Apleev hopes that you can exchange flour and rice in Vladivostok, and the port warehouse is stacked with the power plant equipment and a large number of machine tools purchased by the head of the provisional government, Krens, from the United States, and there are piles of aid weapons in the open warehouse in the port that cannot be transported to the front." ”

"I don't know what the price is"

"Apleev is a shareholder of your company, what price do you think it can be, I guess it is given away for nothing. But before winter you need to solve the food gap in Vladivostok. ”

"I'll take care of this, Mr. Consul."

"Adele stays in Shanghai and doesn't go back to Paris with me, next month Edmund will come to Shanghai on leave to greet me with little Apleev's family, you have time to help me take care of Adele." With that, Wilton stood up.

"Consul, don't worry, I will do my best, it's not early, consul, please rest early." Hu Wenkai said goodbye and walked out of the study.

In the living room, Adele was sitting on the sofa when she saw Hu Wenkai come down and said, "Mr. Hu, can you leave your phone number and address?" ”

Hu Wenkai handed over the business card, and Adele wrote down the phone number here after an invitation with a pen and sent Hu Wenkai out, telling the two guards that Mr. Hu would be released without notification in the future.

Back at No. 3, Lane 181, there is a cup of brewed Longjing tea on the coffee table in the living room. Carrotta was afraid that he would drink too much, so she lay on the sofa and her mind was full of Carrotta's beautiful image. He was very disciplined and traditional, Adele's shadow only flashed in his head, he took out the invitation with the phone number written on it and pressed it under the telephone, he calculated on the paper that in the end the Far East was ruled by General Terrykhs, Kolchak died in 1919, and his successors were all his former men.

What he couldn't figure out was that Kolchak was already dead, why Apleev still went to Vladivostok. In October 1922, the entire Far East would be occupied by the Russian Red Army, and it would take about 10 days for the ship to sail from Shanghai to Vladivostok.

Now it takes about 10 days to prepare rice and flour to buy 1,500 tons, and a 5,000-ton freighter is chartered to transport the machine tools and some guns back in advance. For example, the East Lu Si Port does not know how the survey is, and the goods must not be blatantly entered Shanghai, and they need to build a warehouse in Lu Si to store them first.

Hu Wenkai was accustomed to empty gloves and white wolves, and made up his mind to ask Ivanov to register a French shipping company and lease military transport ships from Apleev. The government of the Far East ceased to exist in the following years, and the ship was the property of their company.

Wrote a list and a specific plan of operation to hand over to Ivanov tomorrow, and after rinsing, he went upstairs to find a cup of brewed tea on the bedside table in the bedroom, and the last time he was drunk, he probably scared Carrotta. He happily finished his tea and lay down.

Chen Yongcheng of Xingye International Trading Company: They did things quickly, and 3,000 tons of grain were finished in a few days, and 1,000 tons of rice were loaded at the port of Shanghai, and then the ship was loaded with another 2,000 tons of flour at the port of Busan, North Korea.

The ship was an American bulk carrier found by James, which had been loaded and set sail for the port of Shanghai. Apleev replied that Hu Wenkai expected that after the grain arrived at the port, the two transport ships would be rowed into the Xingye Industrial Shipping Company and loaded with supplies and sailed for Shanghai. As a result of the exploration, Lu Si can dock sea vessels of less than 20,000 tons, and Lu Si is now a small fishing port, and only a 200-meter-long trestle bridge needs to be built to be used as a simple port.

It was very convenient to use labor, there were many small fishing boats and boatmen, and the trestle bridge could be built in a month, and Hu Wenkai sent Li Congshan to Lu Si to supervise the construction, and Hu Wenkai himself temporarily took over the factory. After staying in the factory for two days, he found that Yang Siliang, who had returned from studying in the UK, had a strong coordination ability for the three factories here, which was much stronger than Hu Wenkai, so he appointed him as the deputy factory director and returned to the company by himself.

When he arrived at the office in the morning, Sun Daming was waiting for him in Wang Xihai's office. The Fenyang villa next to the West Lake has been sorted out, and this kid has left a room for Hu Wenkai to use. In Hangzhou, four servants and a cook were recruited, and a married young woman in her twenties was hired as the villa supervisor. Guests from the Ministry of Industry and several directors of the bank have gone on vacation last week and the response has been good.

Looking at the key and the identity card left by Sun Daming on the table, Hu Wenkai prepared to go to Fenyang Villa on Sunday for a vacation, and put the key and identity card into the briefcase.

During this time, he was so busy that he rarely went back to eat lunch, and it is estimated that Carrotta has already complained. He found Zhang Jingjiang's phone and dialed it, but the phone rang for a long time before anyone answered. said that Zhang Jingjiang was not at home and asked him to leave a message, and hung up the phone after leaving his name.

Hu Wenkai knew nothing about the Jiangsu provincial government, after all, to build factories and ports on a large scale in Rudong, he needed to communicate with the provincial government and seek the approval of the provincial government, which Hu Wenkai knew better than anyone else about the immutable rules of officialdom in China for thousands of years.

The whole company is in a period of rapid expansion, the factory is restless, the wood drying workshop has been put into use, the paint drying workshop has been on the beam, and the equipment commissioning is about to begin. Tungsten carbide tools have been poured out, a group of 20 to replace the tools on the machine tool purchased from the United States, with the factory engineer evaluation is to sharpen iron like mud directly raised the machine tool more than a dozen steps. In the workshop, a 3,000-ton hydraulic press is being built according to the drawings he provided.

Every day, international trading companies send out a large number of commodity recommendation letters, promoting the inventory of goods in the warehouse in Vladivostok, and the mountain of materials cannot be digested by Industrial Industry alone, and it will take up a lot of money. The letters of the receipt are also piled up and need to be analyzed one by one, and those who feel that it is possible to cooperate also need to reply to confirm the letter, unlike the later generations to buy and sell email communication and then fly to meet and negotiate, and the bank electronic transfer is completed.

In this era, it is very cumbersome to do an international trade business, but there is an advantage that as long as you establish business contacts, you can rest assured that you can cooperate for a long time.

The real estate company has to extend the hours of work every day, and people who buy and sell houses sometimes have to queue up to get their numbers. More than a dozen employees have been dispatched, but they are still too busy, and Sun Daming's business is becoming more and more sophisticated, from small one-room sales to large rows of villas. People from other provinces will see the company's billboard as soon as they step into Shanghai, and there are half pages of advertisements for real estate companies in newspapers and magazines every day, plus publicity between customers, the company's staff are very professional after training, and customers can almost solve any questions.

The relationship between the pledge company and the bank is becoming more and more iron under the guidance of James, and the bank real estate mortgage dead accounts are continuously transferred to the pledge company, and after the pledge company is realized, it is transferred to the real estate company for sale, and the pledge company provides real estate mortgage loans to customers who are rejected by the bank, and lends 50% of the property for one year, 70% for three months, and 90% for one month. Gamblers with short funds and drug addicts often opt for one-month financing.

Li Congshan took five employees with him, and he doubted whether Li Congshan was capable of building the port, but he really couldn't spare the manpower to strengthen the port side. Roll out the preliminary exploration map, pick up a pencil and a T-ruler, and start drawing the port plan and power plant layout.

Hu Wenkai fully understood what it meant to be sleepy, someone sent a pillow, and there was feedback on the recruitment revelation in the newspapers and periodicals in Beijing and Guangzhou, and Wang Xihai came in to report that a total of 12 people came from Beijing and Guangzhou to apply for jobs, including 4 people who graduated from university.

Hu Wenkai asked him to bring 12 people to the conference room, where he personally received them, with fruits and brewed tea on the conference table, and Hu Wenkai held the resumes of 12 people in his hands, and there were graduates of Tsinghua University's engineering and banking departments. Hu Wenkai himself introduced himself first, and these dozen people began to think that he was an employee of the personnel department and didn't care much, but when they heard the introduction, the company boss was silent in the conference room.

Hu Wenkai said with a smile: "The company's freedom of speech is not qualified, the company will provide you with higher treatment than you expected, but it will also drain your talents." ”

Hu Wenkai continued: "I don't want to say anything more, everything depends on the action, you started the probationary period this afternoon, Deng Jun's engineering department temporarily assisted Li Congshan, the manager of the company's key project, Lu Sigang and the construction of the power plant, Liu Zhaohui's bank department went to the finance department to report and listen to Schroder's arrangement. ”

"Boss, where is the company with such a big construction project?" Deng Jun inquired excitedly.

"Not in downtown Shanghai, in a fishing port on the remote coast of Nantong"

"No matter where I am, as long as there is a construction project, I will go," Deng Jun said.

"Someone from the company will arrange for you to go, Wu Hongxia is a teacher, your task is very heavy, and you are included in the company's professional training staff temporarily in the company's office." Hu Wenkai arranged their whereabouts one by one.

Each person received a resettlement fee of 10 yuan first, and then Wang Xihai took them to the simple dormitory in the factory on Yatian South Road to live first. Except for Deng Jun, the rest of the personnel started pre-job training in the evening, and Wang Xihai complained that even a batch of genius training was about to start training.
