Chapter 1568 Amazing Treasure

In the study of Xiaonanhai Anyuan, An Yi and Ou Yaoting sat opposite each other in front of the sandalwood coffee table, and on the red clay stove on the side, the blue flames flickered silently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun fiddled with the tea set, the other fanned the stove, with the sound of "goo" and "goo" bubbling sounded, Ou Chuer took a closer look at the tea, smiled and nodded to Feng Jieyun, and then lifted the rained Jun porcelain teapot, and calmly put a little on the teacup in front of An Yi and Ou Yaoting.

An Yi and Ou Yaoting looked at each other and smiled slightly, raised the teacup, smelled the tea first, and then identified the color of the tea, and blew on the side of the cup for a while, and when the tea was a little cooler, Fang poured it out.

Comfortably putting down the teacup, An Yi asked softly: "Dad, since you have decided to move the group's headquarters to Nanhua, why don't you set up the headquarters in Xinjing, which has superior conditions, or Saigon, which has developed commerce and trade, instead of setting it up in Kampong Son Bay?" Although it is a blessed natural harbor, it is now just a small fishing village that has not yet been developed, and the conditions for setting up the headquarters in such a place are too difficult. ”

Ou Yaoting gently took the tea cup and shook his head: "On the ship to Nanhua, I began to understand the general situation of the development of Nanhua, and when I arrived here last night, I went to the archives of the Zhizheng Hall for a few hours, and I found a serious problem: the economic development of Nanhua is too unbalanced now, the main industrial bases are concentrated in the surrounding areas of the Red River Plain, and the Mekong Plain in the south is almost impossible to get hands on except for Saigon.

"Tien Nam province in particular, where the Mekong River and its tributary, the Tonle Sap River, run through the whole territory, and the rice can be harvested three times a year, but not only does it not have any shadow of industry, but even the commerce is extremely backward, and most of the products produced go south along the Mekong River to Saigon, or simply export through border trade to Thailand. However, the area is not without excellent access to the sea, and Kampong Son Bay in the south has excellent development conditions, but it has not been effectively developed because it is surrounded by tropical jungles.

Now among the 41 million population of South China, the Chinese account for 26 million, the proportion has been more than half, this is actually the land of the Chinese nation, rather than starting a business in other countries and regions, let other people's governments earn our taxes, it is better to let others profit. Therefore, I would like to relocate all the Indian industries to South China, focusing on the development of Tien Nam and Wujiang provinces. And my long-term goal is to rely on the power of the Eurasian consortium to develop Kampong Son Bay and the surrounding areas, and in the future, some people point to the bustling port and city, point to the rows of high-rise buildings, and say: Look, these are the latest developments carried out by Mr. Ou Yaoting, so that everything here is here. If I can do this before I die, I will be satisfied. ”

Ou Chuer, who was on the side, stomped her feet and said coquettishly: "Dad, why do you say that?" You are not yet fifty years old, and there is time to fulfill your dreams. Is just one Kampong Johnson Bay sufficient? Now Mongolia and Central Asia still have a lot of places waiting for us to develop, and I am afraid that when you hear such praise everywhere, your ears will be calloused. ”

Ou Yaoting couldn't help laughing, pointed at Ou Chuer and said, "You, you will find something nice to make me happy." But if there is a day, I will die without regrets. ”

Ou Chu'er frowned: "Dad, look at you, here you are again, what is dead, dead, too unlucky......"

Ou Yaoting raised his hands: "Okay, okay, I won't talk about it, let's listen to Xiao Yi's opinion." ”

"Dad, it's not that we don't develop the economy of the south, but the conditions don't allow it!"

An Yi carefully explained: "The uneven economic development of Nanhua is completely constrained by the current situation: Honghe Province has convenient railway, road and water transportation, is the closest to our southern Yunnan, and is connected by railway to Syria, as well as abundant energy and mineral supply, so it has unique development conditions.

"Now the Germans are using the money they can't digest for the time being, and they want to pull us onto the German-Italian axis, and the Germans have spent most of the railways from Thanh Hoa to Hue and Xinjing to Taiyuan, and the railway from Hue to Saigon has also begun to be surveyed, but because the Truong Son mountain range separates the north and the south, it will take at least two years to connect the south and the north by rail. Our plan is to wait for the railway to be completed, and then we will start to build the south on a large scale, and before that, it is mainly to carry out urban construction, communication and transportation, and to vigorously promote and develop agricultural production. ”

Feng Jieyun added: "Yes, the development of the south is very constrained. The southern plains, with almost no energy and mineral resources, are completely replenished by the north. Nanhua has a long coastline, although it is also convenient and fast to take the sea route, and the transportation price is much cheaper than the railway road, but this is based on having a coastal defense. At present, our South China Navy has just been established, and it is not yet able to fully defend the security of our territorial waters, and once it is blocked, shipping will inevitably be interrupted. If you rush to launch an industrial project in the south regardless of the actual situation, once someone else gets stuck in the neck, it will be troublesome! In fact, I didn't know these at the beginning, when I was writing and collecting style, I went to the countryside in the south, and I didn't understand why the gap between the north and the south was so big, but recently I assisted Sister Qing to run a newspaper, and I was also responsible for the construction of our publishing and distribution group. ”

"Yes, your fears are justified!"

Ou Yaoting nodded with relief: "So this time, we will also learn from the Germans, first build roads, we will first build the railway from Kampong Son Port to Saigon and Phnom Penh, and then build the railway from Phnom Penh to Saigon, Phnom Penh to Vientiane, Luang Prabang and Anxin City, forming a large railway ring system in the whole of South China."

"After the construction of the national railway transportation network, we will also build the railways between counties and cities, so that in the future, materials from all over South China can be continuously transported to various places through the railway, reducing logistics costs and greatly stimulating the development of commerce.

"It is precisely because of this demand that I have specially recruited railway professionals in Western European countries, purchased a large number of construction equipment, and prepared to set up a railway engineering company...... By the way, Xiao Yi, did you have a secret immigration agreement with Commissioner Jiang? ”

An Yi knew that the intelligence system of the Ou Group was linked to the intelligence department of the General Staff, and it was not surprising that Ou Yaoting knew this, so he immediately replied:

"Yes, the situation of land annexation in Lianghu and Jiangsu and Zhejiang is extremely serious, but because many Kuomintang veterans are involved, it is impossible to stop the tide of annexation. The eldest son, Chiang Ching-kuo, carried out land reform in Jiangxi, touching the interests of the big landlords, and as a result, the Kuomintang criticized and wrote down and raised a group to requisit, and he almost could not get off the stage. Now the development of South China is in urgent need of labor, and we need to bring in Chinese to improve the proportion of the population of South China, and Mongolia and Central Asia will also need a large number of Chinese to supplement in the future, so we signed relevant agreements secretly. ”

While listening to the conversation between her father and husband, Ou Chuer poured tea into the teacup in front of them, and the fragrance of tea overflowed, and the study was immediately filled.

Ou Yaoting took a deep sniff, the fragrance filled his chest, and he felt refreshed. He turned his head, looked at the Jun porcelain teapot, and asked with a smile:

"Chu'er, what kind of tea is this? The tea leaves are flat, smooth and straight, the color is tender and green, the aroma is fresh and tender, the taste is fresh and sweet, and the bottom of the leaves is delicate and delicate. ”

"Dad, this tea was picked from the tea gardens of Hejiang and Xuanguang counties in Taiyuan City, Honghe Province three days before Qingming last month, and was fried and processed by the roasted tea master. Ou Chu'er's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and she turned her head to Feng Jieyun and said, "How about it, did you lose?" ”

"I thought that my father had traveled all over the world and tasted many famous teas, so he would definitely not make a mistake in this, but I didn't expect that I would guess wrong!" Feng Jieyun smiled and shook his head: "Sister, it seems that your vision is good, this tea is of such good quality, it can definitely be sold for a lot of money." This can not only solve the livelihood problem of tea farmers, but also have a tea source of high-quality tea, and it is estimated that this industry can become bigger and stronger and make a good industrial chain. ”

Seeing Ou Yaoting's somewhat confused eyes, Feng Jieyun explained: "When my sister went to Taiyuan to set up the Taiyuan branch of the central bank, she felt that the tea there was very delicious. However, due to the fact that the counties are mountainous and cannot grow food crops, they can only barely make ends meet, and many people's families are so poor that they can't open the pot, and the family only has a set of clothes to go out, which makes people feel sad. Sister Chu Er immediately instructed the subordinates of the group to sign a purchase contract with the local tea farmers one by one, and a deposit can be paid first, and the tea from the surrounding counties will be purchased by the group at a price 50% higher than the market price, and the tea factory we built will be roasted uniformly and divided into different grades for sale. Now it seems that this tea has such good quality that it can be sold at a good price. ”

Ou Yaoting stroked his beardless chin, and was relieved that his daughter had really inherited his mantle, and even on a business trip, he could find business opportunities from it, this vision is indeed something to be proud of!

An Yi also praised: "Dad, Chu'er is indeed very capable, and the business and finance she is responsible for has almost never let me worry about it." Now that science and technology are making steady progress, various industries are developing in a healthy and orderly manner, new products are emerging in military factories one after another, and the army can be expanding explosively. ”

Ou Chu'er's pretty face was crimson, she glanced at An Yi affectionately, lowered her head and didn't speak.

Ou Yaoting was extremely happy to see the coquettishness of her daughter's children, what could be better than her only daughter marrying a good husband? Choosing An Yi as his son-in-law may be the proudest thing in his life! The old god Ou Yaoting took a sip of tea on the ground and looked at An Yi: "The people who migrated from China, you won't all divide the fields into households and arrange all of them to become farmers, right?" ”

An Yi smiled faintly: "Where can it!" We arrange for the migrant population in such a way that the fields are granted to the old and the young in the family, who have no strong laborers, or who have sick people in the family who need to be cared for. After the land reform, the labor intensity in the rural areas is not high, except for a few days when the farm is busy, other times can be rested and adjusted, so that such families can slowly recover. If the orphans and widows in the family have no head, they will be placed on collective farms and work as agricultural workers, and the state will pay them according to their performance, so as to fundamentally ensure their survival.

"The rest of the young and middle-aged laborers in their families all went to the city to become residents. In the whole of South China, from north to south, there are nearly two million people serving the construction of the city, if nothing else, to say that the high-standard sewer project is all built by manpower. In addition, there are as many as 3 million people in mines, power plants, iron and steel plants, machinery factories, tractor factories and other factories and enterprises in various places, plus the construction workers needed for railways and highways. These add up to 5 million people, but they are the breadwinners of the family, and the livelihood of nearly 15 million people has been solved in one fell swoop, based on the calculation of one family with one wife and two children, plus six parents. In the future, if new immigrants move in, they will also be distributed in this way! ”

Ou Yaoting smiled and nodded: "That's good, so if we recruit a large number of railway workers, there shouldn't be any problems?" ”

"That's nature. However, Dad, I have to remind you that the construction of railways in the Mekong Plain is not very difficult, at best it will take a lot of effort to build bridges over the river, but in the northwestern highlands, it will be more brain-solving. The region is rugged and mountainous, the tropical jungle is full of miasma, and the natives may oppose our construction of a railway through their tribes, and the troubles are endless. According to my estimates, if the railway can be built in five years, even if it is blessed by God, until then, it will be a loss and not a profit. Can the group afford such a huge investment? An Yi said worriedly.

"It's okay!"

Ou Yaoting raised his left hand and waved: "The situation in India is very chaotic now, I estimate that it will take at least two or three years to settle down." I am going to relocate all the industries I have invested there to South China, and leave the mines and plantations under my name to the locals for planting, and then I will shrink the business in British Burma and the Japanese East Indies, and the savings should be able to sustain me for a while. ”

Ou Yaoting pondered for a while, looked at his beloved daughter and son-in-law, and couldn't help but say again: "Xiaoyi, Chu'er, Yun'er, I have a major harvest in India, originally I didn't want to say it, but now the development of Nanhua is in urgent need of funds, if I cherish myself, it's too much to say." ”

Speaking of this, Ou Yaoting turned his head and greeted loudly: "Zhize, bring the gift box I brought." ”

Twenty-one-year-old Ou Zhize is a loyal talent trained by the orphanage school founded by Ou Yaoting, and now works as a secretary by Ou Yaoting's side.

Ou Zhize came in with a delicate gift box, put it on the coffee table, nodded politely to An Yi, Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun, and bowed down.

An Yi tilted his head, looked at Ou Yaoting suspiciously, and then looked at the box in his hand, a little unclear. This gift box is golden in color, with ancient patterns carved on the surface, and the lid is inlaid with gems and diamonds, making it look extremely luxurious.

Even a box is so precious, what will be the contents there?

Diamond? Jewel? Or is it a treasure like an emerald watermelon?

Ou Yaoting looked at the gift box for a while, Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun both hugged curiously, Ou Chuer shook Ou Yaoting's shoulders and asked:

"Dad, this box looks like it's an antique, what's in it?"

Ou Yaoting woke up like a dream, rubbed his hand on the top of the box, only to hear the sound of "ding", the box popped open, An Yi took a look, and found that it was a gold chain with three thumbs thick, which was too different from what he imagined, so he couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Feng Jieyun also sat back at the tea stove with some disappointment and continued to fan the stove. Chu Er pursed her lips and said, "Dad, I thought it was some kind of precious gemstone or diamond jewelry, how could it be a gold chain?" It's such a big root, how cheesy it is to wear it......"

Ou Yaoting shook his head: "What if I said that this is just a random selection of thousands of gold necklaces?" ”

An Yi and Ou Chu'er glanced at each other, a hint of surprise flashed on their faces, and Feng Jieyun also listened.

"The last time there was a riot in India, I was trapped in a military camp in the Indian state of Maharashtra, and we were living with several colonial government officials from Karnadark. Due to the extremely chaotic situation, the guards were very cautious and did not dare to fully trust the British, and there were special personnel to monitor the lives of the group of officials.

"As a result, we made an astonishing discovery: it turned out that this group of people had come to Maharashtra to find a helper in the army. As they combed through the literature, they found a wealth of folk rumors about an astonishing fortune that the kings of Travanco, a princely state in the southern state of Karnadaka, had buried their wealth in the thick brick walls and underground chambers of the Padmanaba Swamy Temple. After careful and careful investigation, the group found out that there were six underground secret chambers in the Padmanaba Swamy Temple, where the royal family was heavily guarded, and guessed that the rumors were most likely true. One of the officers' brothers-in-law was the commander of the British 16th Infantry Division in India, which was stationed in Maharashtra, but had died of potassium cyanide poisoning at the time of the riots.

"I was very surprised to receive the news and instructed the guards to stay put. The next day, without waiting for the riot to subside, the group hurried back to Karnadaka, presumably looking for another way to steal the gold, and I thought of sending two guards to follow them. There were no risks along the way, but after entering Karnadaka, while resting and drinking water by the Krishna River, the men suddenly broke out and shot each other, and the three surviving men found the guards I had sent and tried to kill them, only to be killed by our men.

"After the situation in India was brought under control, I pondered the wealth and could not rest assured, so before leaving for Europe, I first went to Maharashtra, and sent people to visit the princely state of Travanko Kingdom and confirmed that almost all the locals had this rumor, and it was very likely that there was a large amount of gold under the Padmanaba Swami Temple. However, the princely state had a regiment of troops stationed there, and I had no choice but to set out for Europe.

"When I arrived in France, I summoned Domingo, the intelligence chief of the European section of the group. Wright, I want him to mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals, and immediately rush to the kingdom of Travanco, a princely state in India, without considering the consumption of manpower and material resources, and do everything possible to get out that treasure, Domingo. Wright took the order, and I was relieved, and I gave it to McGonagall, the head of the group's intelligence system in Burma. Hughes called and asked him to take charge of the matter himself.

"Half a month ago, before leaving London for British Malaya, McGonagall . When Hughes came to England to see me, he looked very sad and angry, I thought that the task was not completed, and it was really impossible to comfort him, and we were not short of that little money. That's when he told me that the gold had been found, but that something had gone wrong in the mission - after trying to get the treasure by all means, Domingo. Wright couldn't resist the temptation to defect, and together with fifteen intelligence officers, assassinated fifty-two of his companions, even McGonagall. Hughes also came close to being hit. Mcgonagall. After Hughes escaped, he immediately mobilized the forces of the entire organization and strangled Domingo with all his might. Wright, in Cape Town, South Africa, finally intercepted Domingo, who was carrying his wife and children and wanted to flee to the United States. Wright, Domingo at this time. Wright actually poisoned all his companions and embezzled the wealth privately.

"Domingo. After Wright was captured, he would not reveal the location of the treasure in any way. Hughes found a master hypnotist and hypnotized him, and feared that the treasure would be lost. After obtaining the exact cache address, McGonagall. It took Hughes a week to get the gold from India to Malaya. This gift box is just a random antique with three gold necklaces in it, and brought it to London for me to see. ”

An Yi looked at Ou Chuer and Feng Jieyun in shock, but did not speak.

Ou Yaoting smiled bitterly and said: "Golden charming eyes, I never thought that Domingo, whom I entrusted with the important task. Wright will betray me, this man ran to the pet store to grab dog food for his hungry child, was arrested by the police and thrown into prison, I saved him, he once knelt in front of me and swore allegiance to me for the rest of his life, but I didn't expect that in front of gold, he finally broke his oath...... When I saw this gift box, I thought of blood and betrayal, so I was a little uneasy.

"Xiao Yi, Chu Er, Yun Er, this gold includes 120,000 gold bricks weighing 2.5 kilograms, 200,000 gold bars weighing 250 grams, three gold crowns, 1,200 gold necklaces, 3,182 gold bracelets, 170 kilograms of East India Company gold coins, 187 gold coins of the early nineteenth century Napoleonic period, a baby elephant made of gold, two lions made of gold, and a large number of utensils and toys made of gold, etc., with a total weight of nearly 450 tons. A wealth that the world cannot imagine! ”

"Four hundred and fifty tons of gold!"

An Yi's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.

As Ou Yaoting said, no matter how rich his imagination is, he could not have imagined that it would be such a huge fortune. After a long time, An Yi muttered: "My God, how long have these Indians been saving up so much gold?" ”

Ou Chu'er also came back to her senses at this time, and her eyes lit up: "Dad, you have to deposit this gold into our Central Bank of South China." With this gold as a margin, we can issue at least 10 billion Chinese dollars, and my family is much better! ”

Ou Yaoting smiled: "Chu'er, I originally wanted to hand it over to you to control. The current composition of the South China regime is very strange, it is completely dominated by a military group and an enterprise, but one day, the country will be decoupled from the military and enterprises, and by that time, this money will be enough for you and your children to live without food and clothing for a lifetime! ”

An Yi was so grateful that he didn't know what to say, Ou Chuer's eyes were also red, hugging Ou Yaoting's neck, and said coquettishly: "Dad......"
