"Oh, I thought you'd be with me all the time, but you've been busy all morning." Seeing Gao Yi come out, McBride complained.

"I'm sorry, baby, the emergency has been dealt with now, let's go immediately."

Who would have predicted that? There will be 260,000 taels of silver in one day, Gao Yi thought that it would be ten days and a half a month, and more than half of the people would retreat, but he didn't expect everyone to be so active.

"Hmph, even if you go out, it's just to accompany you to work, and it's okay to only stay with the two of you and not let others disturb you?"

"Today is not an example. And today I'm just going to show my face and let them talk when the time comes, and we'll both go play on our own. ”

Going out today is also an emergency. When Gao Yi returned from Chenjiadunzi on August 13, he contacted the trustee to help find an engineer who was familiar with the dock and factory infrastructure, and it was best for this person to have management experience, so that he could take on the daily operation of the factory after it was built. As a result, last night, Gao Yi received a call from McGregor of Zhengguanghe, saying that it was Frederick Schulz, a Dane who was in charge of the infrastructure of Zhengguanghe's subsidiary The Aquarius Co. ten years ago, and that the Shanghai Machine Ginning Bureau, where he was the general manager in recent years, had closed down last year, and was a more suitable candidate.

The Urus Factory is a large-scale soda and beer manufacturing enterprise with its own wharf, which has been in good condition for ten years, indicating that Schulz's technical capabilities are above the standard. The Shanghai Machine Embossing Bureau is also an old enterprise with a history of more than ten years, and Schulz can serve as the general manager of this company, which at least proves that he has a certain management ability. But the company closed its doors in his hands, although the main reason was the recession of the entire industry, but it also showed that his business ability was limited, and he was not a brilliant figure who turned the tide.

After listening to Schultz's resume, Gao Yi had the image of an old scalper who was conscientiously immersed in his own work. Such a figure is exactly what the Lee brothers needed for their new factory, because he only needed to get the factory up and running, and he was a pure production director, and the Lee brothers were naturally responsible for the business activities.

Now that there is a suitable candidate, Gao Yi called Schulz overnight. The two sides had a pleasant conversation, Schultz's qualifications in civil engineering fully met Gao Yi's requirements, and he also had sufficient experience in training, using and managing Chinese workers.

After communicating with the Li brothers, they decided to meet in Chenjiadunzi the next day without further ado, and settle things as soon as possible, so that the factory could be completed and started as soon as possible. It's just that it was not appropriate to leave Miss McBride at home on the first day, so Gao Yi decided to simply take her with him, as if it was an outing. For this reason, he also borrowed the "Patterson" from De Gray, and invited girls to go out to play, so shabby that they could not take a barge, and the speed of the barge was so slow that even Gao Yi himself didn't want to take another trip.

The "Patterson" was moored at the Lida Wharf on Avenida da in the French Concession Mansion, and when Gao Yi and the others arrived, Minna, Emily, Isabella, their sister-in-law, and Concubine had already arrived. The three of them came here for cover, and they also brought a few older children. Gao Yi parked the car next to the carriage they were riding, and then, under the cover of Minna and the others, opened the door of the back seat and let McBride down.

Schulz was a lean middle-aged man with a goatee, blonde hair, brown eyes, and a golden look in the midsummer sun. When Gao Yi and the others got on the boat, he was looking at the scenery on the bow of the boat despite the scorching heat.

"Patterson" was twice as fast as the barge, and the thirty-kilometer waterway took less than two hours. The two Li brothers have been waiting on the simple dock for a long time, and the two of them have almost taken the construction site as their home in the past few days, rushing over by boat for three hours early in the morning, and returning in the afternoon when they are almost finished.

After getting off the boat, Miss McBride and the others went to find a place with shade and suitable scenery to stay, and Gao Yi took the construction drawings and accompanied Schultz around the construction site. The main thing is to see if the layout is reasonable, this construction drawing is Gao Yi commissioned to help him build a house Youheng Yangxing do, the time is in a hurry, there is Heng's main business and private houses, there is no experience in building a factory, so there is likely to be a mistake.

The process designed by Gao Yi is not complicated, and only the ammonia recovery device can be called heavy equipment, at lunchtime, Schulz has basically figured out the situation, and he is ready to discuss with Gao Yi the parts that need to be improved, but Gao Yi refused, the project will be fully responsible for him in the future, Gao Yi will not worry about this leisure, only when the equipment is installed, Gao Yi will be present.

For lunch, he ate cold food brought by Gao Yi, and after the meal, Er Li introduced the construction personnel on the site to Schulz, and the departure or stay of these personnel will also be decided by Schulz. Gao Yi saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he went over to accompany McBride and them to see the scenery.

In summer, the Yangtze River is at its most turbid, and the entire estuary is muddy in color, and there is really nothing to see. Fortunately, the puddle on the back of Chenjiadun is full of clear water and grass, and the white velvet is full of reed flowers, and a group of herons are dancing in it. It was also thanks to Miss McBride that she had been locked up in school for a long time, and she felt good about everything, and she was holding a bird-watching goggle to look at it, and there was a sketchbook on the grass beside her, on which she had drawn a few egrets with charcoal pen, and it seemed that the drawing was really good. The owner of the sketchbook, Cathy of McPherson's daughter, with six fingers, sat next to her, looking at Miss McBride with adoration, and a few spare charcoal bars in her hands.

Gao Yi saw that the scene was warm, so he didn't bother, but stood aside and quietly admired.

After waiting for an hour, Miss McBride was tired of drawing, and Erli and Shulz had already explained clearly, and the time for return had come. Gao Yi boarded the "Patterson" with everyone, Schulz will come to report tomorrow, and the second Li Yongcai will assist him as a deputy for the initial period, while the boss Li Yongfa will start preparing for the opening of Xintiandi. As for Gao Yi, he is idle instead, and he can be a hands-off shopkeeper for a while, whether it is a new factory or a new world, he will not participate until the preparation work is completed.

"Patterson" returned to the Grand Pier where he had set out in the morning, and after disembarking, Gao Yi and Miss McBride parted ways with the others. Gao Yi drove the car to his newly purchased Bund No. 1, where he made an appointment with Dunn, an engineer from Hengyang Company, to discuss the renovation of the business building.

Gao Yi parked the car in the shade of a tree and got out of the car by himself, and Miss McBride was inconvenient to show up, so she could only close the curtains and hide in the back compartment.

Dunn had already arrived, and he had already checked the structure of the business building, and after Gao Yi entered the building, the two had negotiated everything after only five minutes of talking. Gao Yi's request is actually very simple, nothing more than to let him come and see how to tear down all the walls that can be demolished in the business building without affecting the completeness. The ground floor is ready to be used as an exhibition hall for static display vehicles, and the second floor is the main activity space for members.

After coming out of the building, Gao Yi saw that there was no one around, so he quickly opened the door of the rear compartment, covered Miss McBride and sat in the front seat, first put on windproof goggles for her, and then wrapped her head with a scarf. This is not strange at this time, after all, whether it is a carriage or the front row of the car, there is no windshield, most of the roads are dirt roads or gravel roads that have not been hardened, the road surface is dry on a hot day, once a vehicle passes by, it will be dusty, wear a headscarf and windproof goggles not only to prevent wind, dust but also from the sun.

Miss McBride pouted and let Gao Yi fiddle with it, as if she was quite dissatisfied with the five minutes she had been thrown in the car, Gao Yi kissed her on the red lips that she pursed:

"Alright, Louise, all the chores are taken care of, and for the next three weeks, no one will be able to disturb us again!"

This is not a coaxing word, Gao Yi is indeed ready to give himself a three-week vacation, through more than a year, he has been busy for the next moment of his life every day, it is time to stop and enjoy this moment of life.
