Chapter 5 The First Big Pot of Gold
After settling Kenneth, the super unlucky ghost, Zhang Shusheng and Sun Laixi, who returned to the inn with a whole carriage of things, slept happily, and stayed in the county seat for half a day, and only returned to the village in the afternoon.
Throwing down those rare things that are usually reluctant to buy in the inn, Zhang Shusheng walked out of the inn alone, because when he crossed over, he was wearing a suit, and now he looks like a successful person.
Walking to the corner of the street, after thinking about it, Zhang Shusheng turned around and entered a small grocery store, wanting to ask if there were cigarettes for sale. There's a lot to do in the morning, and you need to dress up a little bit.
"No, only leaf smoke!"
Looking at the cigarettes that the boss handed to him, Zhang Shusheng was speechless, at this time, there were really no real cigarettes in Huize, let alone cigarettes, and the large handful of dried tobacco leaves dried and pressed were the tobacco signs of the grocery store.
"Boss, buy some fire!"
Foreign fire? Zhang Shusheng turned back with slight interest, only to see a hairy boy holding a small piece of slag and silver, wanting to buy foreign fire.
"The price has risen, the price has increased, eight cents a piece."
"Why has it gone up again, one price for three days." The hairy boy said slightly annoyed, scolded and took the match and change and left.
Zhang Shusheng knocked on the counter, looking at the few goods on the shelves, and asked, "Boss, the price of this foreign fire is too fast, right?" ”
The boss shook his head and sighed: "Mr. doesn't know, this foreign fire is about to be monopolized by the foreign factory in Kunming." The foreign fire of the He family in the west of the city can't be sold at all, otherwise it will be at least half cheaper! ”
"Can't sell?"
The boss sighed: "The things of foreign devils are good, we Chinese are not angry, foreign fires sometimes do not ignite, sometimes there will be a slight explosion, the smell is also smelly, who will use it." Boss He didn't have any interest, and he listened to small songs in the opera garden all day long, and he was so worried. ”
"He family in the west of the city, but I have heard of it. Boss, wrap me some orange peel candy. ”
The heart is just right, and there is no need to go to another buyer. Zhang Shusheng bought something casually, went out of the grocery store, found two people to ask for directions, and easily found the opera garden in the county.
At this time, it was still morning, there were very few people in the opera garden, there were seven or eight people sitting sparsely, there were one or two little flowers on the stage babbling and singing, and occasionally one or two vendors selling melon seeds and preserved fruits shuttled back and forth under the stage.
Zhang Shusheng chose a remote position to sit down, paid for the ticket, and a table of diners next to him was whispering.
"Recently, this business has become more and more difficult to do, alas, even Boss He can only hold back in this drama garden to find a way." A diner looked at a middle-aged man in a cyan robe in the corner and said, pointing.
"Alas, the country is weak, and it's no wonder that Boss He is difficult to support alone. Not to mention the southwest, even the Guoren foreign fire factories in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are about to close down. ”
"Yes, some time ago, he still wanted to raise shares to expand production, but fortunately I didn't invest money, I heard that many people lost money and died."
……
Zhang Shusheng listened to it for a long time, and based on some of what he heard in the county, this Boss He can be regarded as a national businessman, and he is also an unlucky national businessman who is forced to be helpless by foreign goods, and the match factory is about to face closure.
Zhang Shusheng has a bad impression of most of the businessmen who sell dog meat with sheep's heads on their heads in this era, but it is completely different from letting foreign goods run rampant and unscrupulously impacting weak national industries.
Throughout the morning, Zhang Shusheng did not go to find this Mr. He, but used the identity of a tea guest to occasionally whisper to the tea ticket friends next to him about this unlucky boss He.
Boss He's match factory is indeed going to close down, but it is not because his family has no money, on the contrary, Boss He's identity is not simple, his family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and the match factory is not the core industry of the He family at all. It's just that the match factory was comprehensively surpassed by the foreign fire factory opened by the Swiss in Kunming, and it is not a matter of losing money every day.
With a long sigh, Boss He finally stood up and prepared to go back, Zhang Shusheng saw this, hurriedly followed, got out of the opera garden, and turned into a laneway, "Boss He, please stay!" ”
"You are?" He Fangjiong looked back at this strange young man, but he didn't know this person in his impression.
Zhang Shusheng was completely a young student, and said confidently: "I'm here to talk to Boss He about business." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, a handsome young man came to He's house, and Master He closed the study and chatted with this guest for a long time, until it was twilight in the west, and Master He personally sent this young man of unknown origin away.
During this period, several old technicians from the Western Fire Factory in Hefu City were quickly called to He Mansion and closed the door with Master He and the young man to discuss the matter.
Standing at the door of He Mansion, He Fangjiong couldn't calm down for a long time, and the back of the young man in the distance was no longer visible, but Master He was still immersed in a fog in his heart.
"He is young but has the heart to serve his country, and he is studying abroad but can bring back match craftsmanship and recipes that can be compared to the Swiss, and I am really looking forward to the next visit he said."
Master He sighed for a long time, the pile of paper in his hand was nothing else, it was a complete set of match recipes and processes that could be comparable to the Swiss match technology, and even surpassed many match recipes and processes. As for the stone crusher he wanted, it was just a small machine, and with the strength of his He family, it would only take a few days to transport it back from Kunming.
……
When he returned to the inn, Zhang Shusheng called Sun Laixi and took him to recognize the way to Hefu twice, and the stone crusher he asked for would be transported back from Kunming seven days later, and Sun Laixi was going to bring the villagers to transport the machine.
He gave Kenneth a lot of money, instructed him, and sent him back to Shanghai, where he needed not only arms, but also his help in contacting some things.
Two days before and after, finally finished the work, Sun Laixi was going to hire a big car to pull the groceries back, Zhang Shusheng thought that Lishuping was also short of transportation, and when he asked, he knew that Sun Laixi would catch the car, so he simply asked him to buy a big board car, which was only a few oceans in total.
In his arms, he carried a $30,000 Crédit Agricole CIB money order given by Mr. He, which was the remuneration for the integrated solution of match production and process. He is planning the next development, this time back, the children's education must be grasped, and secondly, when the crusher arrives, the quarry must be able to meet the requirements of safe and stable production.
Loaded with goods, although Lai Xi didn't know what Brother Zhang was doing with so many shovels and shovels, he still felt warm when he saw so many things for food and clothing. Brother Zhang said that some basic daily necessities will be distributed to everyone, thank you for taking in Lishuping.
The way back was very fast, and in the evening we arrived at the village, and a few children playing with spinning tops at the entrance of the village surrounded them, and Mr. Zhang actually drove a large car back to the village.
"Hello Mr. Zhang!" The children greeted each other in unison.
Zhang Shusheng simply turned over and got out of the car, patted the wrinkled clothes, and asked, "Students, have you done all the homework I assigned to you?" ”
"Teacher, you asked me to go home and weave the little straw mat, the small straw mat is all braided, and I can hand it over in class tomorrow." A child who has strong hands-on ability and has a special hobby of handicraft said.
"Teacher, teacher, the wooden sword, wooden knife, and wooden bow I made were all according to what you taught, and I accidentally cut my hand." A child said timidly.
"Teacher, I can now distinguish the stones you taught me to recognize, and remember the difference between them."
"Teacher, I will recite the Tang poem you assigned."
"Teacher, I will memorize the number song you taught me. 1,2,3,4,5 go up the mountain to fight tigers, 5,6,7,8,9 don't worry about eating,10,11,12,13,14,15......"
……
The children rushed to answer for a while, and they all respected the teacher. This teacher Zhang not only teaches everyone, but also provides lunch at noon every day.
Although some of the children can't count, and some can't recognize two words after ten days and a half of learning, fortunately, Zhang Shusheng is not a genius-level teacher, but a teacher who knows how to teach according to his aptitude.
China's future does not need 400 million scientists, nor does it need 400 million great writers, what China needs is the backbone of all walks of life, and what it needs is talents who can shoulder the development and leading force of the industry.
Mathematics needs to be learned, Chinese characters must be learned, but focused teaching is a must.
The whole nation is lagging behind others, and the only opportunity is to concentrate a group of potential talents from all walks of life to lead the whole nation forward.
Zhang Shusheng smiled, took the spinning top in a child's hand, circled it with a whip, and then set the position with his left hand, and when he pulled the whip with his right hand, the spinning top spun up drippingly.
"Everyone have to have fun, you will all come to Uncle Xi's house after school tomorrow, and the teacher has brought you some small things."
