Chapter 108: Seafood
Chapter 108 Seafood "Under normal circumstances, the seafood production is okay, but it is not very good when it encounters bad weather, mainly because my boat is too poor to withstand any wind and waves." You can't go farther. Harrison #Ford said as he smoked a cigarette and sat in his chair.
When Sergeant Simon heard this, he nodded and said in his heart: "It seems that this old man's life can only be said to be quite passable." Thinking of this, he said, "What about your wife and children?" ”
"She's helping people with needlework and working as a helper in a tailor's shop. As for Renard being in college. Hey! I think he will have a much better life than me in the future. As soon as Harrison spoke of his son, he began to smug himself.
"What about you? Simon? Harrison asked rhetorically.
"Me?" Simon said: "My wife and his brother are running a ranch. The child is not in Rock Town, but in Sacramento. I'm graduating this year. ”
"You're in a good life, haha, little Maxi I haven't seen him in almost three years." Harrison said.
Yin Hang accompanied Sheriff Simon to the vicinity of the wharf in San Francisco this morning, and just won eighty percent of the shares of the meat processing plant yesterday, so Yin Hang got up this morning and was very happy! Tell Mona and little Kyle to go to the factory to see what is going on, and he accompanies Simon here.
Harrison and Simon are old friends, so when they meet, they naturally chat; From a year ago, the two met in Rock Town, until now in life, the two of them have never stopped chatting about topics, Yin Hang knew at a glance from the side that they were indeed a pair of very good friends as the sheriff said.
More than two hours passed, and Yin Hang could only interject occasionally when he sat on the side, almost unable to say anything.
"Gotta have a drink today, huh? Simon? Oh, and Mr. Eastwood. Harrison said visibly happily.
"No problem." Simon said, "I can also taste the fish you caught." ”
"Of course!" Harrison said, "You know what? Simon, the fish here is simply delicious, and even though I've eaten it for so many years, I still find it delicious. Ha! You can't believe that I once ventured out of Hong Kong for seven days and found a sea area rich in shrimp! After I got some back, I asked my wife to make shrimp paste, tsk! It tasted definitely the most delicious shrimp paste I've ever tasted in my life. But it's a pity! My ship is so worn, or you'd be even more blessed today. ”
Kindness? As soon as Yin Hang heard him say this, an inspiration suddenly popped up on his psychological side, and he interjected: "Harrison, you said that the fish and shrimp here taste great?" ”。
Harrison, replied, "Of course! It's a pity that you can only eat fish today, and my boat can't catch shrimp now. ”
After hearing this, Yin Hang firmly grasped this inspiration in his mind, and then opened his thoughts around this inspiration little by little: I now have a processing plant that can produce canned food, so can seafood also be done? You know, at this time, the inland of the United States can't eat enough to eat Shanghai. Although it is said that after processing into canned food, the taste of seafood is not so pure, but inland people are not so picky, it is already very good to eat, and the taste is only a little lighter, for those who have not eaten seafood, it is still: xxx seafood, "It tastes great!" ”。
Thinking of this, Yin Hang asked with a smile: "If I provide you with a new sea vessel, can the output be guaranteed?" ”
"What?" Harrison has been patronizing and chatting with Simon, so he slightly ignored Yin Hang, which is not surprising, after all, he and Simon have more topics, but what this young man said now made him feel pleasantly surprised in his heart, and immediately asked, "You want to provide me with a new ship?" Did I hear me right? ”
Yin Hang smiled: "Yes, Mr. Harrison, if you can guarantee the production." ”
"Of course!" Harrison laughed and said, "That's great, you don't have to worry about the yield, if you have time, you can go and see the fishing boats on the docks, ha!" It's all pitiful, and of course, my current ship is worse than theirs! Ha ha! But that's not all, the main thing is that when you see the boats, you know that they can only fish inshore, and if you can provide me with a good boat, I can go a little further and the seafood there will definitely surprise you, Mr. Eastwood. ”
"If that's what you say. I wouldn't mind offering you a new ship." "I just bought a meat processing plant here recently, and I want to try to make them into canned seafood and ship them inland to buy," Yin said. It will definitely be welcomed. ”
"Oh?" Harrison looked at Simon, an old fellow, and after seeing the latter nod in confirmation, he said happily: "Today must be my luck, as you said, of course it will be welcome!" I'll provide you with the supply! ”
Yin Hang said: "That's good! Harrison, but it's going to take a while, and there's a lot to do, like how many people I'm going to have to do in the factory, whether I'm going to expand it again, and shipping issues. ”
"Of course! Of course! I will wait for your reply. Harrison said happily.
After entertaining Yin Hang and Simon for dinner, Harrison also specially accompanied Yin Hang to the beach to have a look, and the latter found that although there are many fishermen here, there are only about twenty boats in total, and nearly half of them are small broken wooden boats that are rowing!
After seeing off Yin Hang and Simon, Harrison happily circled around the house and stayed until the evening, when his wife returned, and he couldn't wait to tell her the good news......
Harrison's cooking skills are not very good, but Yin Hang still eats the fish dry and quietly, and the seafood here is indeed delicious!
The next day, Yin Hang asked Mona and Kyle Jr. to continue to the processing plant and let them and Tim discuss the expansion plan, while he himself went to the telegraph office to send a telegram to San Bernardino about his group.
Before he could send it, however, he received a telegram from Ilsa, stating that Carter had found Ilsa and expressed his wish for friendship to Eastwood.
After reading this relatively long telegram, Yin Hang immediately asked the staff to send back the situation of his group and the way to deal with this matter.
Regarding Carter's matter, of course Yin Hang would not refuse. In the telegram, he said that he would help a good friend like Carter, and that he would extend a hand of friendship to Carter......
For two days in a row, Ilsa, who had finished sending the telegram, did not receive a reply from Yin Hang, and was wondering whether to send someone to send it again. Because in the past two days, Carter will sit here at noon every day, although the other party has never said a word of urging, but the anxious expression on his face, Ilsa saw it, and said in his heart: "If Carter comes in a while, I will accompany Carter and go to the telegraph office again, hoping that this can comfort him." ”
"Dangdangdang." There was a knock on the door, and one of his men walked in and said, "Ilsa, Lord Eastwood has sent the telegram back." With that, he handed over a small note.
"Okay, thank you Saran, you take this, and when you go downstairs, ask Chris to send three thousand dollars up, no chips, no cash." Ilsa returned the note to Saran again.
"I'll go now." With that, Saran took the note, turned and walked out the door.
After a while, Chris walked in with an envelope and said, "It's three thousand." ”
Ilsa said: "Thank you Chris, how is the income of the casino today?" ”
Chris pointed to the envelope and said, "That's the last two days' income." ”
Since Mona left, Chris has become the "financial director" of the building. "Although he is more good at some things about money operations, but for his current job. Apparently well done.
After Chris left, Ilsa had lunch in the office and said to herself, "It's almost time for Carter to come over." ”
He guessed correctly, and just over ten minutes after lunchtime, Carter came over in a neat suit.
Before he could speak, Ilsa smiled and placed an envelope on the table. "Lord Eastwood has telegraphed back, and he is honored to extend a hand of friendship to you, a small gift from him, and hopes to help you with your urgent needs. ”
Carter was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Eastwood is so generous, please convey to him my respect for him." ”
After that, he took the envelope from Ilsa's hand and said, "Thank you Ilsa, you are really my good friend." ”
Ilsa laughed, "Of course, Carter, but you're welcome. When are state legislators coming? ”
Carter said, "It's two days away, hehe! I heard that when the state legislators came, the governor would come, but that would be a month later, and Mayor Arnold would be back. ”
Ilsa nodded and said, "Maybe the state legislators like to come over for fun, too." ”
Carter laughed: "Of course, I've been fascinated by Huaxia." ”
"Do you like blackjack? Or betting on roulette? Ilsa asked.
"I like the feeling of betting on the size the most, you know? The feeling before the cup was ......."
The two of them talked about some fun of various gambling methods, and it can be said that they had a good conversation, and finally Carter said, "I won't talk to you, Ilsa, I'm going to go back and get ready." ”
Ilsa said, "Okay, I'll send you out." With that, he got up and walked out of the office with Carter.
After sending the telegram, Yin Hang has been discussing the expansion of the factory with Mona, Simon, Kyle, and Tim in the past few days, he is the only canner in the city, so he does not worry about the problem of sales at all, the factory has two floors, and there is a small courtyard at the back, but now the two-story factory, the first floor is the production place, and the second floor is the office area, Yin Hang asked Tim to find an engineering team, let them build a three-story small building in the small courtyard behind, the scale is not too large, it can be used for office; The second floor of the building was then converted into a production workshop, which doubled the output. When it is ready, he will ask Tim to recruit workers, and if necessary, he can also take up a floor above the factory.
Yin Hang didn't get too involved in building a factory or something, but just let Mona participate in it, and he himself discussed the production of new canned food with Tim.
It's canned seafood, he first wants to make canned fish from it, of course, he doesn't have to be involved in the details, he just told Tim about this idea, and then how Tim finds someone to develop it is none of his business. As a boss, the most taboo thing is to do it yourself, no matter how big or small. This is very detrimental to the development of enterprises and the cultivation of talents.
Only when there is something that cannot be solved, or some decision-making events, the boss is involved, this is the right direction of development. Of course, this does not mean that Yin Hang wants to leave it alone, and understanding the various forms of the enterprise is also what the boss should do.
By the time Tim found someone to start working on these things, it was already half a month later, mainly because the research on canned fish took some time, but it was quickly developed by them.
Yin Hang tried it, and felt that the taste was still relatively delicious, although it was not as delicious as the fresh fish that had just been caught, but it could definitely meet people's normal needs.
Just do it, Yin Hang immediately took out two thousand dollars and handed it directly to Harrison, asking him to find a shipyard to get two better sea boats, and asked Mona to go to the political axe department to register a seafood company, as for recruitment, Harrison is in charge, after all, he knows a lot of good fishermen. As for the rest, let Tim immediately recruit the corresponding talents, and participate in the construction and operation.
Yin Hang's available talents are still too few! So he sent Kyle Jr. to a school in San Francisco to learn how to run a business. Although far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, it is still necessary in the long run.
What's the use of just a little Kyle going to school? He won't be the only one who will come out when the time comes! How much can it help? This is the difference in the way people look at things. Some people can see the other side of things, while others can only see the surface of things.
Yin Hang asked little Kyle to go to school, in addition to helping him after he returned from school, he also asked him to pay more attention to the classmates around him, if there is an outstanding one, he must write it down, and have a good relationship with him. Wouldn't there be more people in this way? Therefore, it is necessary to look at things comprehensively. This is also one of Yin Hang's advantages.
On the other hand, Yin Hang began to ask Ditim to recruit talents locally, after all, San Francisco is now in the western region, and it can be regarded as a relatively large city, and of course there are more talents than in the countryside, and it is easier to find.
After a few more days, Yin Hang found a few people who were more easy to use and were willing to follow him to other places, and stayed by his side at the moment, as for the others, on the one hand, they were added to the expanded meat processing plant, and the other part was included in the seafood company.
Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find! These three people have a certain level and are willing to leave the local area, which is even more valuable.
Among these people, there is a lawyer who is very good at the legal aspect, and the registration of a seafood company has also helped a lot. Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old today, Yin Hang is very optimistic about his legal expertise and his past achievements; The other two are managerial talents. They all have a certain amount of experience, and they were directly dug up by Yin Hang's high salary. Respectively, Douglas, Waltren, and Thorjansen.
After another period of time, Yin Hang already felt that the itinerary here in San Francisco was almost over, because it had been almost a month, and the meat processing plant had been rapidly expanded with high investment, and the seafood company was the same, looking at the more than 5,000 cash and gold worth 20,000 yuan that he still had left, Yin Hang directly handed over the remaining cash and a small part of the gold to Mona and Simon, and told them to go back and immediately engage in the affairs of the large ranch, and specially asked Thor Janssen to follow to help Mona.
This series of actions is not unpleasant, Yin Hang also spends money like running water, in the blink of an eye, he only has some gold left, which is about 15,000 yuan, he originally wanted to do something about the steel mill, but in terms of time, it was a little unallowed, because, Governor Freeman, is about to go to San Bernardino. Yin Hang, who is a friend, is of course also present.
So he gave the rest of the money to Harrison, and asked him and Tim to help him find some of the talent that the steel mill needed, or the talent that heavy industry needed. After that, send a telegram to yourself.
Railway station......
"Mr. Eastwood, don't worry about the seafood company, those two new boats are fantastic, they were launched yesterday, and guess what happened to them when they came back this morning? Ha! They came back with a full load and made me dumbfounded. There was almost no place for the crew to put their feet down. Harrison laughed.
Before Yin Hang could speak, Tim shouted: "I'll have someone transport it later, if I can, our canned fish can be put into production today, and tomorrow the citizens will be able to eat this new variety on the market." ”
"That's great." Yin Hang said with a smile: "If there is anything, you can send a telegram to San Bernardino." ”
"Okay, boss!" "I'll report back to you every other week," Harrison said. ”
Tim shook his huge head and shouted, "I'll do the same!" ”
"Alright then, you guys go back, the train is coming." Yin Hang looked at the black vapor pillar in the distance and said.
After the two of them left, Yin Hang also took the newly recruited Douglas and Waltron and boarded the train to San Bernardino.
This time Yin Hang went back, he also had to engage in some transportation industry, so he called the macho Sam to be in charge, Yin Hang, who was sitting by the train window, thought: "Sam's ranch personnel are also a lot, and when they go back, they can try this new industry!" ”
