Chapter 377: The Bahrain Island Incident (Part II)

The people of New Oriental Company moved down two pot camel pumps in their own cabins, and then collected all the canvas hoses on the ship, connected two long pipes, and took advantage of the low tide to directly start the two pot camel pumps, and soon two water dragon-like water injections sprayed out of the pipes, and the people of New Oriental Company called those who were carrying pottery jugs to receive water------ in fact, they didn't need to shout, almost everyone came to receive water.

This kind of convenience is loved by everyone.

The people from New Oriental told Hui Hui to tell them to dig a big pit together, find some stones, and build a large reservoir for them when the time comes, so that they don't have to wait for the low tide to draw water.

It's a good thing for the people here, and everyone can see it.

At that time, hundreds of young people took action------- and the people of New Oriental provided them with dozens of shovels and pickaxes.

In less than three days, a reservoir more than two meters deep, five meters wide, and more than ten meters long was built.

The New Oriental Company instructed them to build the stone base and walls with clay, then plastered the pool with cement and nailed a lid with wooden boards.

In this way, a large cistern was built, which was filled once, enough for 20,000 people to use for a few days, and the people here did not bathe anyway.

Watching the two water dragons rush into the reservoir at a high speed, the Bahrain island folks are happy, which saves them a lot of physical strength, and they can also raise more camels and goats.

As a result, they automatically consciously built a bigger one, and went to the New Oriental Company's trading station to ask for cement------- they had already discovered that without the cement of the New Oriental Company, they could not save fresh water at all.

Well, the people of New Oriental Company did good things to the end, and they smeared cement on them.

The people of New Oriental Company said, you see, the cement for us to build the commercial station is all gone, don't ask us again.

This is the truth, the repair station and warehouse, even a brick were brought from the island of Liuqiu.

Their trading station is located in the central part of the island of Bahrain, about 100 meters above sea level, which is the highest point on the island.

It's a gentle ramp to the beach, about a thousand meters away------ it's an uninhabited place, so the Bahraini islanders don't go uphill and far from the water.

It just so happens that the people of New Oriental Company like it.

In the days that followed, more and more commercial goods were transported here for storage, and this trading station became more and more famous------ even people who returned to the mainland would come to trade!

The relationship between the people of New Oriental Company and the Bahrain Islanders is also getting better and better, and they also respect the elders or patriarchs here------ and the Great Song Dynasty has the habit of respecting the old and loving the young.

The children here wander around the trading station when they have nothing to do, eager to get a delicious candy at any time, but only occasionally, and no adult goes out to bring it every day.

The deeds of the New Oriental Company are circulating on Liuqiu Island, their year-end dividends have made countless people covetous, their shares have increased many times, and no one has transferred, there are people in taverns all day long, and there are people in the teahouse asking if anyone has transferred, but it is always disappointing.

The power of example is endless!

As a result, suddenly there were many joint-stock companies that popped up, and more than a dozen of them could also get a joint-stock company and start business.

There are also running to taverns, and the teahouse sells its own stocks everywhere, some of them make money, and some of them lose money, and no one cares about it anyway.

But no stock like New Oriental has been as strong as it is right now.

Therefore, the people of New Oriental Company are awesome, and they don't look down on the small companies that follow their butts------ but for the sake of them being merchants on the island of Liuqiu, they have also helped them, such as giving up a place in the trading station, or taking them with them when they go to Tabriz City to trade.

Of course, because they are all private transactions, unlike the wealthy officials and merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, the trade prices are easy to unify.

Tabriz City is now the capital of the Ilkhanate, with a population of more than one million, and there are endless business opportunities, which are not at all satisfied by a few private trading companies------ there is no need for your own people to fight price wars, don't learn from the officials and businessmen of the Great Song Dynasty, they are for the completion of political achievements, and we are for money.

As a result, those small companies that dared to take risks also made profits and began to develop into large companies.

The people of New Oriental Company don't believe that this island can only get water like this, although they have a pot camel type pump, but it is inconvenient to use, not to mention, it always feels that someone controls the water source.

So, they tried to dig a well.

On this day, they found a depression behind the hillside and began to dig, digging and digging, and they felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be water about to spew out under their feet, and the ground trembled!

Several of them hurriedly climbed out------- but after a while, a pale black "water column" rushed into the blue sky with a whirring sound!

Several people were drenched in the cold, and they were stunned for a while, God, we found kerosene, we found kerosene!

Make a fortune, make a fortune!

The people in the entire New Oriental Company trading station were boiling------ but the director of this trading station was very calm, he was originally the old shopkeeper of the quality warehouse in Lin'an City, and later, after the flow of money was set up, no matter how hard he worked to operate, as a result, if the big quality warehouse shop still closed down.

Because he was well-known in the quality warehouse industry, he was hired by New Oriental Company at a high price.

He pushed his nose and eyes, and said, this doesn't quite look like kerosene, have you noticed, after putting it in the kerosene lamp, there is too much black smoke coming out, and it chokes people.

He insidiously suggested that he immediately take a few oil canisters to the island of Hormuz, try to get on one of their flying scissor clippers, quickly return to Liuqiu Island to tell the chairman, and then secretly learn how they refine oil on Liuqiu Island------

Exactly, exactly!

Hey, hey------- group of people suddenly laughed wickedly.

Island Master Zhang is thousands of miles away, how do you know that someone is calculating him?!

As a result, he also let the family catch the clipping boat of his own navy, and let the family quickly return to Liuqiu Island.

The chairman of the New Oriental Company is also an old traitor, and he immediately arranged for someone to buy the technicians of the Zhangdao main oil refinery at a high price.

The process of refining kerosene from light oil is extremely simple, and a distillation technology can solve the problem, the key is the necessary equipment.

After a few more stacks of money were put down, the technician drew out the complete equipment of the distillation kettle, and told the people that the rest of the oil should not be thrown away, and that they should be used to burn the pot and camel machine.

The chairman of New Oriental immediately ordered someone to build it, and let the technician try it a few times, and sure enough, he got a more qualified kerosene!

Hahaha!

The chairman of New Oriental Company looked up to the sky and laughed, I am going to make a fortune!

In the past few days, when Zhang was thinking that everything was under control, he saw a huge advertisement in the "Liuqiu Times" that New Oriental Company had found kerosene and accepted advance reservations from various merchants!

Holy shit, the world is going to be messed up!!
