In the Azores in January, even in winter on the calendar, the temperature is still above 10 degrees. The pleasant climate of Ansarísmo Sangra naturally allows travelers from North America to live a very different and comfortable life.

Since last June, the booming maritime trade has finally brought a storm bigger than the wings of a butterfly, and merchant ships from the coastal countries of Europe have been pouring in like bees attracted by flowers. Even at the end of last year, merchant ships from the Caribbean and West African coasts came to the city, and although there were few of them, it was clear that Terceira Porto Heroísmo had set off an unusual commercial boom in this era, and it had become an incredible hot spot in the vast Atlantic.

The U.S. concession west of Angra de Angra de Angra on the island of Terceira has changed greatly from a few months ago, not only in terms of area but also in size, and even on the surface, it looks more like a newly opened urban area in Angra Sangra. Thanks to the thousands of refugees transferred from Portugal and the Netherlands, under the management measures of cash-for-work, concession administrative areas, commercial and trade areas, warehouse storage areas, and labor residential areas have sprung up one after another.

Although on the surface it is still relatively simple, the vigorous vitality of the entire American concession has made Garcia, the Portuguese governor who has ruled the Azores for nearly ten years, a little ashamed.

The first is the taste, an invisible dividing line, which makes the American Concession and the other neighborhoods of Angra Herosgra have a different olfactory experience. The cleanliness of the Chinese American Republic surprised every European businessman or official who entered the American Concession.

The second is the income of residents, it seems that the American Concession always has to be compared with the Anjusmo Sangra neighborhood, and the Portuguese who are lucky enough to work in the American Concession, or the refugee laborers who have been transported from afar, almost all of them have a monthly salary much higher than the average for the whole of Europe. Even many of the skilled craftsmen in the Angra Sansseemo neighborhood sneaked to the American Concession.

Not to mention the rise of oriental fashion in the Azores, the strong Yang Wenwen brand clothing has not only attracted a considerable number of fans within the Portuguese and Spanish aristocracy. Boutique clothing is almost priceless, and even the families of the local wealthy families in the Azores are secretly trying. If it weren't for the fear that this kind of "imitation of the aristocracy" would lead to disaster, I am afraid that there would be more local women dressed in oriental costumes on the streets.

But in any case, Angra Sansmo Sansmo has indeed prospered rapidly, excluding the American Concession, the permanent population of Anglo Sanstinto has exceeded 2,400, almost two percent more than before the arrival of the Americans! A large number of Portuguese civilians who couldn't get along in the country didn't know whether they were guided by merchants or listened to some rumors, but they actually took the old and the young to run across the sea in more than half a year.

Shops and workshops designed to provide all kinds of conveniences for life in the American Concession have appeared, and even brothels have opened in the American Concession.

Taxes such as port entry tax, trade tax, poll tax, etc., are increasing every month. And Garcia's own gray monthly income has also swelled to the point that Cheng Dù, who finally no longer cares. Rich. When there is a lot of money, it is a pure number.

The Consulate General of the Americans is negotiating to rent more skins? No problem, as long as the Azores are still under Portuguese control, everything is negotiable!

Need more labor? No problem, the price and freight are negotiable. Merchants traveling to and from Europe would try to cramour as many people as possible into their dark cabins.

Need more autonomy? No problem, as long as the port flag is still Portuguese! Oh, this one doesn't work!

Shi Wenbo, who did not succeed, just smiled slightly, and rowed away the coastal forest slope immediately south of the US concession. He plans to build an "Atlantis community" there, the function is naturally to attract the magnates of European countries in the future, and various ** industries in the future have already been in Swenbo's planning.

The northern part of the American Concession, which was originally a wasteland of shrubs and weeds, is now home to a large factory building with a mixed timber structure and several labor dormitories. A simple road extends directly to the central block of the concession.

The large factory has a door number with the business card of "Huamei Yang Wenwen Living Art Company (Europe) Garment Factory" written in Chinese and Portuguese respectively.

In view of the fact that the transportation of raw materials for garment making is too troublesome, and it is impossible to embezzle such a large scale of labor from the mainland, Yang Wenwen can only open her mass-produced garment enterprise to the Azores. What's more, local processing must go through the state-owned import and export group to purchase raw materials, and Yang Wenwen is unwilling to pay an extra cent for this!

When I arrived in Sangra Sangra in mid-November last year. Yang Wenwen brought three sets of huge things that looked like some kind of machine tools. Then, with the help of the consulate and the governor's palace, more than 100 European laborers, most of whom were women, were selected and recruited in the refugee area.

Two months later, her European garment factory was finally completed, and the treasured guy was also found in the factory under the snort of a group of temporarily hired port porters.

A huge machine with all kinds of internal and external pulleys, levers, and hobbing teeth is a human sewing machine made by a literary and artistic youth.

The young man who had been shot by the Industrial Review Committee for Jenny's textile machine project worked hard to "restore" the famous human sewing machine within a few months using the information he could find. It's just that no matter how you look at it, the guy in front of me, who is almost taller and wider than a wardrobe, and looks more like a platform vertical drilling machine, has nothing to do with the sewing machine.

In any case, the precision machining level of Jiang Zhaolong's "General Industrial Company" can only realize the physical function of a human sewing machine in this extensive form. But if it really wants to work, it's obviously not the kind of woman who can step on it, but it doesn't matter, a European strong man with thick feet can solve it!

As for the price of the equipment, General Industries sold a set of $6,000 "friendly price" very "boldly", and gave away some vulnerable parts and spare parts, and even the sharp-toothed Yang Wenwen had to pay the bill with hatred.

During the construction of the factory, Yang Wenwen brought several former female textile workers to carry out intensive training for these European women. Most of the European women garment workers are only responsible for the mass production of cutting parts, and the critical sewing stage is completed by human sewing machines under the supervision of technical shareholders.

The first orders are for 2,000 uniforms for the Army and Navy, as well as 500 police uniforms for the latest design. Because the kind of military uniforms excavated in the ruins of the catastrophe have long been exhausted.

Several European men were sweating hard under the rhythmic command, and the rumbling human sewing machine was trembling up and down sewn the cutting parts of the table at a very fast speed, and about a quarter of an hour later, the soldier's uniform of dark gray woolen imported from Europe was basically completed. Next, it is the other female workers to carry out the subsequent details processing and packaging and packaging.

Based on a 14-hour day, three human sewing machines can produce 100 sets of military uniforms, each of which costs $4 for the military. Although such a big move to open a European garment factory would have increased a lot of expenses, the later costs have been effectively controlled, and the gross profit per set can reach a staggering $2.

As soon as this batch of orders is completed, Yang Wenwen will immediately fulfill a batch of labor protection service contracts for various workers with a total of 5,000 sets. The gross profit is also more than $1 per set. These profits alone are enough for her to earn back most of this investment! And the wages she paid to European garment workers were only $6 per person per month.

Yang Wenwen, who walked in the middle of the three assembly line passages, was still wearing a beautiful and luxurious Hanfu palace skirt, and her proud look made the consul general Shi Wenbo, who accompanied him, yawn again and again.

"Hehe, eldest sister, you specially asked me to visit today, do you have any requirements? The little brother naturally goes all out! Shi Wenbo touched the machine next to him, but immediately turned out to be a mobile phone oil, and hurriedly wiped his hands on the pile of scraps piled up on the side, "With your garment processing speed, I'm afraid that all the tailors in Lisbon are not more than that." ”

"That's it! I plan to buy a few more equipment from Lao Jiang next time to expand production! Of course, you have to help me find enough female workers. I know your optometry is not bad at choosing women. Yang Wenwen grinned and took the collar of a military jacket from the side, carefully inspected the sewing thread, "My salary is more than double that of those women working in European cities, your charm and my salary should be easy to handle, right?" ”

"Look at what you say...... Now that Foreign Minister Su Zining is in charge of the Azores, I just need to get visas every day. Swenbo touched his nose awkwardly and looked around at him.

"Well, then when are you going to pay me for the last shipment of migrants? I counted, but you stuffed 84 more people into my Wenwen, and if the child is half counted, it is 76 people. The first $10 shipping per person is $760 in total, and if you pay in Spanish dollars, you will be charged 5% more, thank you, continue to cooperate next time! Yang Wenwen suddenly turned around, grinning and didn't know where to take out a bill.

"Hey, eldest sister, no, you should find the Immigration Department or Su Zining to report this!" Shi Wenbo jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, his face full of righteous indignation, "I'm not worried that the local manpower is not enough, so I stuffed more people, why do you want to count me personally?" ”

"The list of transport personnel that Su Zining gave me at the beginning was only 100 people." Yang Wenwen's willow eyebrows straightened, and her face turned cold, "What?" Want to repay the debt to the old lady?! ”

"Okay, you're ruthless!"

Shi Wenbo gritted his teeth, reached out to grab the bill, and walked out of the factory angrily. The unknown European female workers in the factory workshop secretly looked at these two high-flying Americans.
