Chapter 250 Luzon Resources Survey Launched

@@@@

Miao Luo sat at the dining table with his chin in his hands, in front of him was the meal that had already been cold, his long eyelashes flickered and looked out of the window from time to time, seeing that it was dark and he hadn't come back, and he was busier on vacation than not on vacation, and was thinking about whether to make a phone call to ask, when the door creaked open ().

"Brother Yang, you go back."

"Giggles, I'm not your big brother Yang."

Before the words fell, Rui Yao, who was dressed in a strong suit, walked in, and couldn't help frowning when she saw that the table was full of food and had not moved her chopsticks: "What?" Haven't come back yet? It's not that you have to do things the day after tomorrow, why are you still so busy? ”

"Director Su came to report in the morning, saying that Brother Yang was invited to cut the ribbon for the completion of the scientific research and design building of the Hubei company, so he went out in the morning until now, and it is estimated that he was busy and forgot the time." After Miao Luo finished speaking, he pulled her to sit down and asked, "Didn't Senior Sister go to Luzon?" How can it be so fast? ”

Rui Yao rolled her eyes and smiled: "It's not Brother Miao yet, send me a telegram saying that your wedding date is set, so you will take a boat to Guangzhou first, and then change horses to rush back." ”

Hearing that she rode all the way back from Guangzhou, Miao Luo was also very moved: "Thank you, senior sister." ”

"Dead girl, what's the politeness with me." Rui Yao smiled slightly, probably because she was tired from traveling overnight, so she got up and stretched out her hand fiercely, but she didn't expect the door to suddenly open at this time.

Yang Qiu was thinking about how to curb the Kwantung Army in Shanxian County, don't let Japan be so free, but he didn't expect to see Miao Luo, who he hadn't seen for a long time, with his arms open and his chest high, just like a wife who saw her husband suddenly come into the door with a big hug, and she was stunned for a while.

Seeing that a pair of his eyes stopped on his bulging chest, Rui Yao couldn't help but blush and hurriedly retracted her movements and gouged her eyes fiercely, how could she see him every time she had a little accident? I didn't wear my clothes well last time, and this time I stretched my waist and was treated as a hug, what should I do if I caused a misunderstanding between my sister and sister? She hurriedly looked at Miao Luo secretly, and found that the latter's eyes were all on Yang Qiu, who looked tired, as if she hadn't seen it, and there was a trace of sourness in her heart.

I couldn't help but snort coldly in my nose: "People with families, I don't know how to send someone to greet me when I come back late." ”

Yang Qiu looked at the sky, only to find that it was already late, and hurriedly spread out his hand to apologize to Miao Luo: "It's all my fault that I'm not good, I forget the time when I'm busy, and I will definitely call back next time." ”

"It's okay, let's eat quickly." Although it was still a whole day as soon as he went out during this time, he came back every night, and Miao Luo was used to it, so he hurriedly asked people to add dishes and chopsticks: "Senior sister just came back from Luzon, and she hasn't eaten." ”

After Yang Qiu took off his coat and hung it up, he sat down and found that there were only three pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "What about grandpa and eldest brother?" ”

"I went to the second uncle's house in the pharmaceutical factory, and said that I wouldn't come back for dinner tonight." Miao Luo gave a piece of meat to Yang Qiu, and then a chopstick for Rui Yao, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, you also eat more, this time I lost a lot of weight." ”

Yang Qiu looked at Rui Yao and found that she had lost a lot of weight this time, and her skin was tanned, so she hurriedly put vegetables in her bowl and asked, "Are you not used to eating the dishes over there in Nanyang?" Didn't Chang Si follow? ”

Rui Yao originally wanted to twist the bowl, but she was afraid that Miao Luo would be suspicious if she did so, but when she heard his concerned words, her heart warmed, and she smiled: "It's really not as delicious as the food cooked by my junior sister, there are fish, crabs and something over there every day, and I'm almost tired of it." ”

Hearing her say so scary, Yang Qiu smiled: "Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, most of the immigrants in Nanyang are immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong, and the food is light and loves raw seafood, no wonder you can't get used to it." ”

"Fresh seafood? It's a very apt word, and I've seen a lot of them eaten raw, especially those Japanese, who buy fish and shrimp and eat them raw without burning them, and they die of disgust. Rui Yao told an interesting story along the way, which made Miao Luo sometimes surprised, sometimes covered her mouth, and when she heard that there were many Japanese women engaged in the skin and meat trade, she couldn't help but wonder: "Japan? How could it be (). ”

"Nothing won't." Yang Qiu saw that the two women still didn't know the details of Japan, and said: "Don't think Japan is so good, they are not much better than us, although we are still very poor in the countryside here, but Japan is also not much better, most of their land is also in the hands of landlords and chaebols, in case of a poor harvest or a catastrophe, the poor can only sell their daughters to those ronins, and then the ronins sell them to Nanyang to make money, and after the money is sent back to China, the ronins take 30%, 50% go to the country, and the remaining 20% can go to their families, And this part is also subject to taxes. ”

"How can there be such a thing?" Although Miao Luo, who grew up in the United States, has also seen a lot of dark sides, it is the first time that he heard that the money earned by a Japanese woman going to Nanyang to use her body to be handed over to the state has to be handed over, so he also put down the bowl and said angrily: "It's too unreasonable!" ”

"Silly girl."

Yang Qiu explained: "Japan currently has nearly 1.4 billion yen of debt unpaid, counting the heads of the people is about 30 yen per person, and nearly 80 million needs to be repaid every year, on the contrary, the compensation of Xin Chou only needs to be returned less than 30 million per year, plus other payments of 40 million per year, our real problem is that tariffs cannot be autonomous, but the advantage is population, market and resources, as long as the country's stable development speed will far exceed them, so the Asian co-prosperity promoted by Japan is actually just a cover for their exploitation of China, They themselves are exploited by the Anglo-American banking syndicate, and they need to rely on women to sell their bodies to pay off their debts, so why should they help us? ”

Rui Yao also nodded: "I didn't know before, but after I went back to Nanyang, I saw it with my own eyes and realized that those Japanese were not doing well in Nanyang, and many people also had to work as coolies, but we Chinese opened many small factories in Luzon and Singapore, and only the Chinese in Borneo were more miserable." ”

Yang Qiu didn't want to talk about these things anymore, so he changed the topic and asked, "By the way, how many crew members have been recruited?" Have you done anything about setting up branches in Luzon and Singapore? ”

Rui Yao went to Nanyang this time to prepare for shipping, originally she didn't want to develop in Nanyang, but Yang Qiu wanted her and Chang Si to immediately prepare to enter the Nanyang route a year later, because the current shipping companies are all inland river crews, so they urgently need experienced old seafarers, but there are relatively few seafarers in China, so I want to take the opportunity to set up a branch in Nanyang to set up a recruitment point, and said: "Recruit some, but if it is calculated according to the 10,000-ton ship of foreigners, it can maintain a maximum of five ships (). ”

Crew members operating five ocean-going vessels? Yang Qiu frowned, he didn't expect a shipwright to be so hard to find, let alone a skilled captain and mechanic. Miao Luo frowned when he saw him and asked: "Senior sister, they have just developed in the Yangtze River and the southeast, why do they have to go to the South Seas all of a sudden, it is better to do shipping business in four or five years." ”

Yang Qiu didn't know how to explain it, he couldn't say that he calculated that in a year, Europe would fight, and the shipping industry in the southwest Pacific would be in a shortage of ships, right? However, he never wanted to waste this opportunity, in the parallel world, the Japanese shipping industry was developed by taking advantage of the opportunity of World War I, since it was impossible to give up such a large piece of fat meat with foresight, you must know that shipping is still a very profitable industry.

The Far East market is so big, if you eat a little more from Japan, you will eat less, but you also have a lot of restrictions, and in addition to the crew, the ocean liners don't know how many there are, and they asked, "How many ships do we have now?" ”

"The ore river ships that run the Yangtze River can't be counted, in addition to the seven river ships on my side, four ships will be delivered in Shanghai early next year, and the six ships ordered to the United States and Germany will also be delivered early next year, plus the fourth uncle bought two second-hand 7,000-ton sea ships from the Netherlands, a total of 19 ships." After the reorganization of the Yangtze River Gang, Rui Yao gradually adapted to her new identity, and when she introduced her home, she faintly looked like a strong woman, but the smiling eyes still betrayed her, like a miser, and she raised her slender fingers like cold jade and continued: "All the flat-bottomed river ships made in Shanghai have been sailing in the offshore sea so far, and the ones ordered by Germany and the United States can run the ocean but the largest is only 3,000 tons, plus two second-hand ships, there are actually only eight that can run the South Seas." ”

She pursed her lips, as if she was not satisfied with only eight ships, Yang Qiu was amused when she saw this, and deliberately knocked on her bowl with chopsticks and smiled: "My big gang leader, is it less than eight boats saved in less than two years?" In addition to the lack of tonnage, you are almost comparable to Hong Kong Merchants Shipping in terms of quantity. ”

This natural small action made Miao Luo seem to see something, pursed his lips and showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, Rui Yao was immersed in his own fleet, so he didn't pay attention, and just when he was about to glare at Yang Qiu, a thunderous voice sounded outside the door: "Commander-in-chief, Minister Kuang, Minister Zhang and Commander Xiao are here." ”

"Take them to the living room, I'll be right there." Yang Qiu hurriedly finished pulling out the meal, wiped his mouth clean, and suddenly kissed Miao Luo: "I have something to do later, you can sleep first." Miao Luo was thinking about what was on his mind, but he didn't think about being attacked on his cheeks, and when he saw Rui Yao sitting opposite him with a rice bowl and smiling at the corner of his lips, he suddenly blushed with shame.

After he left, Rui Yao laughed and deliberately teased: "This guy is quite bold." ”

Rui Yao blushed and lowered her head and didn't dare to answer, until she finished laughing before she suddenly raised her head, staring at Rui Yao, who was smiling and beautiful, and blurted out: "Senior sister, you, do you like Brother Yang?" ”

"Huh?"

A rice bowl slipped directly on the dining table.

Yang Qiu didn't know that there was a fire in the backyard, so he walked into the living room and saw Kuang Jingyang, Zhang Wenjing, and Xiao Anguo all coming, and brought two young people, and immediately asked, "They are the captains of this plan?" ”

"Weng Wenhao, Yan Sutong has met the vice president."

The young man hurriedly saluted when he saw Yang Qiu, perhaps it was the first time he saw Commander Yang, who was famous in the Far East, and the two looked very excited. What made him curious was that the young man named Weng Wenhao was still wearing the badge of the Youth Officers Corps on his chest, and he beckoned everyone to sit down and pointed to his chest: "When did you join?" ”

"After returning from studying in Belgium last year, Minister Kuang recommended me to join the Dayu tungsten mine exploration team and the Shuicheng coal and iron exploration team, and joined the youth officer group of the national society when I was in Shuicheng."

Weng Wenhao spoke clearly in a suit and leather shoes, and gave Yang Qiu a good image. Kwong Jingyang also introduced: "Weng Wenhao majored in geology in Belgium and also obtained a doctorate, and discovered a number of tungsten ore veins in Dayu exploration, and Shuicheng was also the first team to successfully locate iron ore. Yan Sutong was Kuang Rongguang's student in Guangzhou, after Rongguang became a professor of geology at Hubei Institute of Technology, he also came with him as an assistant, and he also participated in the Shuicheng project. ”

Yang Qiu looked at the two and asked, "What are you sending to do, did Minister Kuang say it?" ”

"As I said, let's go to Luzon for a resource survey ()." Weng Wenhao and Yan Sutong nodded at the same time, but they were a little surprised that Yang Qiu suddenly asked them to go to Luzon, but they didn't dare to ask, so their faces were a little strange. Seeing them like this, Yang Qiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't want you to be a secret agent to engage in intelligence." ”

"You should know that as the scale of national construction grows, the biggest problem we face is resources, iron, coal, tungsten, manganese, magnesium, we can be self-sufficient for the time being, but nickel, iron, copper and oil are very scarce. It just so happened that I knew a European geologist who spent ten years traveling all over Luzon and telling me where there were very rich nickel, nickel and copper, especially nickel and copper, without which we would not even be able to make alloy steel. Yang Qiu took out the information he had prepared earlier and made it up: "Unfortunately, when I met the geologist, he was already bedridden, but fortunately he wrote down some general place names, among which Cotabato, Toledo in Cebu Province and Lapu-Lapu Island are the main copper mining areas. Bauxite with high nickel content is concentrated in eastern Davao, Palawan and Mindoro, and most of them are in shallow soils, which are easy to mine and inexpensive. Copper ore is particularly important, concentrated in the north-central Zambales Mountains in Mindanao, and on the island of Dinagat in Surigao, which is said to be world-class, and all you have to do is locate it as soon as possible. ”

Yan Sutong, a native of Fujian, is very aware of the survival situation of the Nanyang Chinese, and said in surprise: "Vice President, even if we find out, I am afraid that we will not be able to carry out large-scale mining, and now that it is a US colony, it will not be easy for us to mine ore." ”

"This vice president has already thought of it." Zhang Wenjing said: "So you go out this time, if someone has already mined, don't touch it, if no one then we will quietly buy it through the local Chinese, as for how to mine and operate, you don't have to care, but there is one thing you must pay attention to, you must not leak geological reserves, specific location and other information." ”

Xiao Anguo is also one of the participants in this plan, and said: "Our military will send some students and engineers from the School of Surveying and Mapping to cooperate with you, and I will also send soldiers to protect secretly. ”

"Find a way to position a few more, and whether the national steel and metal industry can develop in the future depends on this time." Yang Qiu solemnly handed over the information to the two.
