Approaching the Strait of Hormuz, the ships of the fleet headed for the Cairo area left.

After entering the strait, when they arrived at the naval base on the island of Hormuz, only four five-masted seagoing ships of the Eastern Security Company remained.

The group began to understand the heat in the Persian Gulf------ although they had heard it for a long time, damn it, it was hot to catch your breath!

After arriving in Bahrain, they took a fresh water bath and were refreshed.

It is not easy to get rich, and it is better to get a little heat than to seek danger.

The general manager of the oil company here gave a brief briefing to General Manager Hu Zhennan.

At present, there are 30,760 people on the island, 681 employees of the New Oriental Company plus hired Tianzhu laborers, 309 merchants of the Great Song Dynasty and their men, and 563 other merchants.

General Manager Hu Zhennan said: "Chairman Cai said that he wanted to hire more locals------ or find something for them to do. ”

The general manager of the oil company clenched his fists and said: "After building the 20th reservoir in the ------- of Xia, I encouraged them to plant more jujube trees, and most of the rows of jujube saplings you see now were planted later." ”

General Manager Hu Zhennan said: "Jujube is a good object, but there is no income yet------

"Hehe, General Manager Hu, they can afford to wait!"

The aborigines of Bahrain are chronic, they live in dry stone houses, and men only think of going out to sea to fish when they are hungry, and they can eat enough; The woman waited until the house ran out of fresh water before going out to fetch water------

General Manager Hu Zhennan said: "Who planted that vegetable garden here? ”

"Our staff grow it in their spare time, otherwise they will always eat fish and dried meat, and their stomach and intestines will not be able to stand it------"

"Why don't you let the locals do this?"

"------ they don't at all."

"Hehe, let my old Hu teach them------ I also brought the fishing nets and other fishing gear produced by Liuqiu, and I also plan to set up a kelp processing factory------- Chairman Cai said well, we are busy and they want to be busy, we can't give them benefits in vain."

"That's good, that's good, I'm so busy with the oil well that I really don't have time to manage anything else, so I'll have General Manager Hu."

"This is a matter of duty, we are all members of the New Oriental Group, and we are all in one pot!"

Next, General Manager Hu began to carry out his work step by step, he first selected a piece of land and built a military camp.

When it was finished, he took the opportunity to invite the tribal chiefs and elders of the island to dinner, and gave each of them a large gift bag.

The bag contained tea, sugar, silk and cotton.

General Manager Hu proposed to jointly build a seafood processing plant to carry out deep processing of the caught seaweed, kelp and seaweed.

He spoke impassionedly about the bright prospect of making it possible for everyone here to live in brick houses, to have surplus food for every household, and for everyone to have spare money------

He promised to provide new fishing tools and techniques, and the two sides would split the proceeds fifty-fifty.

In his words, if you fish, you can take it seriously, and you can take two days off every ten days.

General Manager Hu Zhennan also said that in the future, he can also set up a jujube sweet wine factory, which is not the level of a family's own brewing, and it will produce dozens of barrels and hundreds of barrels of sweet wine at a time!

As he described, he gestured with his long arm to indicate that the bucket was a large one.

This action made a deep impression on the chiefs and elders.

General Manager Hu Zhennan said again, women and children should not be idle, let them plant vegetables, carrots, green radish, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, are all delicious things, and can be exchanged for other objects.

The luncheon was held in a large tent, and General Manager Hu Zhennan and his men were dressed in the usual clothes worn here, except that instead of linen but high-end cotton robes.

They didn't mean to please others, but because the temperature was so high that they would have to die of heat if they wore yellow cotton and linen clothes on weekdays.

The cotton robes were cooler, they didn't understand the physics here, but the results of practice told them they had to.

The tribal chiefs and elders began to whisper.

General Manager Hu Zhennan sneered in his heart, there are four or five tribes on the small island, or not, I can divide and conquer.

Instead of urging them, he asked his men to bring out iced sour plum soup for them to drink.

There are really pieces of ice floating in the sour plum soup------ people here are living by seeing ice cubes once, and they shout amazingly!

General Manager Hu Zhennan said: "At that time, we will jointly set up an ice factory together to produce this thing------

Well, they all said yes in the end.

General Manager Hu Zhennan glanced at the drill rat and asked him to sign a contract with them.

The drill rat admires his eldest brother too much, this can be compared to what Zhang Island Master did!

In the evening, the three brothers drank a little wine together, and the people drank sweet wine, which was only drunk by women, and they drank fine coconut blossom wine.

"Big brother, when their living conditions are better and they live in better houses, we will set up a few more casinos and let them play, so that some of the money will return to us." ”

The hornless ox laughed and said, "What a good idea, what a good idea, so that they have to work hard!" ”

General Manager Hu Zhennan thought for a while and said:

"It's a good idea to start a casino, but you can't let locals play it. The people on the island still don't know how valuable the oil well is, so they always think that we are just doing business and just settling here for the time being------ what if we know about it later? No one could have imagined what would happen!

Why don't you take this opportunity to make a fortune together, you can't give them benefits in vain, let them understand that they will have a good life if they cooperate with us, as long as they taste the sweetness of money, I still don't believe they will still live such a leisurely life?!

So, you can win money from outsiders, but you can't win theirs.

Hornless Cow, how's your recruiting going? ”

"Big brother, these days, I have mainly observed all the surrounding islands, and I have not invested my energy in recruiting troops, hehe, I listened to the interpreter, and only recruited five people------

"Five team members? Not a lot! Hmph, when the time comes, take them as an example and show those people how much benefit it will be to be part of us------"

Hornless Ox is mainly responsible for the coastal defense of Bahrain, and he found several places on other islands where he could hide his ship and monitor the sea farther afield.

They were not afraid of big ships, because the Liuqiu naval base on the island of Hormuz had already swept away the large sailing ships in the Persian Gulf.

They were worried that there were small groups of enemies on the north and south continents to harass them, and that the sea here was so calm that a rowing boat of a few dozen people could cross the sea.

Therefore, two-masted sea vessels are more suitable for patrolling here, and they have to arrange round-the-clock patrols.

In their eyes, the future of Bahrain is their future.
