Kerosene has always been an important product of Liuqiu Island, and it is the product that the owners of Zhang Island want to monopolize for hundreds of years.

The price of glass products and mirrors in the Da Song market is getting lower and lower, and now it has reached a point where the middle class does not want to buy it, and the people at the bottom cannot afford it.

Zhang did not want to reduce the price, he could strive to export to the West.

He roughly estimated that there were about 10 to 20 million people in the north of the Great Song Dynasty and hundreds of millions in the south; There were more than three million in Korea and six or seven million in Japan; In total, there are no more than 10 million in Southeast Asia; In the whole Indian continent, there are about 3,000 to 40 million; The Mamluk Empire numbered about nine million; In the whole of Europe, whether it is John or Louis or Hans and Carlos, there are about 50 million people in total.

Therefore, the market is still large enough that he can keep it at a high price, and in fact, his production capacity does not allow him to sell at a low price.

The taste of monopoly is wonderful, more important than gold.

He knew that the Great Song Dynasty had oil in the Yanchang area of Shaanxi, but it was heavy oil, and with the current level of distillation, his own so-called oil refinery could not achieve good results.

He remembered in his mind the origin of all the light crude oil in the world, marking it on his secret unobtrusive map of the world's mineral distribution.

Not to mention ordinary businessmen, even if the Great Song Dynasty came to find it with the power of the state, he would not find it.

So, he's settled on this plane, hehe.

But although he has seven or eight self-confidence, the reality is a slap in the face, where did he think that New Oriental Company actually ran to Bahrain Island------ that was what he prepared for himself!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have built a naval base on the island of Hormuz just to prevent pirates, although it is not big, but it will also use military funds!

The Middle East is rich in oil, but it can't be just dug up, but it's such a coincidence!

Well, one should never underestimate others, not even those of this era!

It's not pleasant to be shared with a monopoly, but he can't rob it, so what's the difference between him and the Tatar robbers?

What's more, his houseboys still have shares?!

At the beginning, he helped to set up New Oriental Company in order to give birth to the oceanographic and expansive nature of this nation, and also to let his family's domestic children have more income in addition to their own salaries.

Now that people are expansive and have divided their own monopolies, I really don't know what to say.

He went to the sixth barracks to visit those boys, and after the punishment, he couldn't help but visit, and he missed them.

The boys are very sensible, and they all know that New Oriental has found almost the same light oil as Zhang Island's, and it will also distill kerosene, which will make their stocks earn more dividends.

However, Zhang Daoist will never be completely in control again------ no one shows a happy expression.

Gu Jianshan looked at Island Master Zhang's face and said, "Island Master Zhang, if you don't buy New Oriental Company, you can buy their oil wells!" ”

The others immediately chimed in!

These children can really talk, but no, we are a free market economy, and the rules we have set cannot be shameless.

Zhang said: "You think I'm not happy because someone else found oil?!" ”

The houseboys said in unison, "No! It's because we sucked the Bliss!! ”

"Will you still suck it in the future?"

"Resolutely do not suck, vouch for life!"

To be honest, Guo Ziren's somewhat stupid expression also scared everyone, and he finally recovered a little, at least he didn't tremble.

Zhang Island Master hugged them one by one, good guys, they are all strong, and they are all adults.

The house of twenty boys, the owner of Zhang Island has already prepared it.

Zhang said: "Give you another ten days off, let's go out and have fun!" ”

The owner of Zhang Island alone distributed some money and let them go for a good time.

After ten days, let them officially go to work.

These days, Zhang Daozhu stipulated a new work and rest in the "Labor Law" promulgated by him, and the laborers have the right to rest for 90 days out of every 10 working days, and holidays are postponed, and enjoy half-day wages, and when they have to work overtime, they can get double daily wages, and the daily working hours shall not exceed 10 hours.

So far, there has been no public violation of the Labor Code on the island.

Zhang Daozhu planned to promote it to Shandong in a year.

Eighty-one days later, the Great Song government was completely back to normal, but they began to be busy repairing the imperial tomb, which they had to complete in seven months.

At the beginning, Zhang Island Master asked Yang Youxing, the editor-in-chief, to secretly encourage the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty in the "Liuqiu Times", but he himself did not write any secret letters to Jia Laogou------ at the beginning, Zhang Island Master wondered why local warlords such as the Lu military group were not enthusiastic about going north?!

There are military merits, land, and labor in the north, could it be that his plan to lure them north with cotton has been discovered?!

The owner of Zhang Island later realized that the original family had already hooked up with some big families in the north in private, and they were hostile in the open, and they were not invasive in secret, sharing the benefits of the cotton fields.

If they go north, then the land may all become national, and the Zhao family may have to divide a large piece from the interests of the Lu clan's military group!

Damn, no wonder they changed their temperament and took the initiative to return some big farmers' fields!

What made him a little disappointed was that he thought that Li Tingzhi, who would swear not to surrender in history, would resolutely ask for the Northern Expedition, but who knows, together with Lu Xiufu, also secretly had a tacit understanding with some big families in the north on the dry land in northern Jiangsu, and also began to grow cotton.

Zhang Island Master did not let the "Liuqiu Times" report, this is a bad thing, maybe the Great Song Dynasty government will only fine three glasses of wine at that time, but Liuqiu Island has offended the civil and military generals of the Great Song Dynasty!

I don't know how many people's interests are behind their tacit understanding.

No one in the other newspapers on Liuqiu Island has the ability to get these fierce information, and those generals can hide the eyes of the island master Zhang from the eyes of the white glove platform, and they don't see where the island master Zhang came from!

New Oriental Co., Ltd. has copied 500-ton clippers in other shipyards, and has also ordered more than 10 of them, which are specially used to transport oil.

Zhang Daozhu uses iron barrels to fill oil, and they also use it, and the models are all the same.

Zhang Laoshi ran to himself and said: "Their clippers are not as fast as ours, nor are they as strong as ours!" Why did they steal our technology?! ”

Seeing that his face was a little angry, Zhang Daozhu persuaded him: "Forget it, if you don't know them in general, they won't be able to learn our unique skills!" ”

"Hmph, I won't let them see our vertical shaft propeller structure, they won't learn to build a pot camel machine and propeller in their lifetime!"

The price of New Oriental Company's kerosene is the same as that of Zhang Islander, and Zhang Island Master has no intention of fighting a price war with them.
