The Pan family has two homesteads in Taiwan, one in the Gelanza area and one in the Bengang area.

This is the same as the situation of the Zheng family.

When the Pan family first settled here, Bengang was only a small fishing village-level wharf, which was obviously not enough.

Zheng Bin, the third master of the Zheng family, found Pan Qi, the eldest son of the Pan family who came here in advance, and said: "Since we and the other two have decided to develop here, why don't we build a large wharf together?" ”

The eldest son, Pan Qi, thought for a while and said: "The words of the third uncle of the Zheng family are very reasonable, I will inform my father of this matter immediately - wait for my father to reply and instruct." ”

The third master, Zheng Bin, praised in his mouth: "Good, good, act steadily!" ”

But he didn't think so in his heart, this eldest son couldn't compare to the fourth prince Pan Feng's eyesight.

After the fourth son, Pan Feng, knew about this, he asked his eldest brother and said, "The matter of the dock, the cooperation is beneficial to both parties, why delay?" ”

The eldest son, Pan Qi, said: "The Zheng family rents land here, and he must urgently need a wharf - the Pan family is just a branch here, and now send me to arrange it first."

Taiwan's goods, the requirements for the wharf are not too high, we can go to the Relansha Wharf, Budai Town Wharf, Hekou Wharf, Keelung Wharf, and even Kaohsiung Wharf, why occupy their own capital?

Besides, this wharf is a huge investment, and the profit is slow, and my Pan family has a wharf in Guangzhou, because it is the root of my Pan family - my father will definitely understand my thoughts-"

The fourth son, Pan Feng, smiled at the time and said, "Big brother, what you say is reasonable. ”

He usually doesn't talk much to this half-brother, and he doesn't make comments.

He thought to himself, is it just a matter of building a wharf in partnership with the Zheng family? Isn't it very conducive to the follow-up interaction with the Zheng family? The wharf is slow to see profits, so isn't it also long-term?

My father would have agreed.

He privately found the third master, Zheng Bin, and made his thoughts clear, saying that if his father did not agree, the fourth son of his Pan family would also borrow money from the Hantang Group to cooperate in the construction - and asked the third uncle of the Zheng family to start construction in advance, so as not to miss the construction period.

The third master, Zheng Bin, laughed at the time, the fourth son of the Pan family really did not disappoint himself, and he had a talent for business when he was only a teenager.

He said: "If it weren't for my Zheng family, I couldn't build the wharf alone - I don't want the Hantang Group to think that my Zheng family is dominant." ”

In fact, he still has a little idea, that is, to see if he can borrow a few trade routes from the Pan family in the future, and there are no business people who don't want the more trade routes as possible.

The fourth son of the Pan family has a very good personal relationship with the third master, Zheng Bin, and it is common for them to drink tea and drink together, and they can even occasionally invite Manager Mei Lezhi.

The fourth son, Pan Feng, replied at the time: "That's true. ”

A month and a half later, Pan Zechen, the head of the Pan family, did not reply, but sent a boatload of craftsmen, including the personnel responsible for repairing the Pan family's wharf.

The meaning is obvious, and there is a hint of reproach.

The presiding man among the craftsmen said, "The master of the family said that if there is anything missing, let the eldest prince arrange it." ”

There were also several boxes of silver with the ship, which were carried in front of the eldest prince Pan Qi one by one.

The eldest son Pan Qi's face was as pale as water, so he went directly to the third master Zheng Bin to discuss, at that time the third master Zheng Bin was on the wharf construction site, and the Zheng family had already started construction in advance.

The third master Zheng Bin was talking with a technician from the Hantang Group, he saw the eldest son Pan Qi coming to him, and he didn't introduce him to the technician.

The Hantang Group's management of the Bengang area was extensive at the beginning, and only a small team of Ming security team members was arranged here to be responsible for local security work.

During the Dutch colonial period, it was also invaded by pirates – there were only a few fishermen and a few farmers who emigrated during the Yan Siqi era, both of whom lived on the weather and lived a hard life, and there was not even a real shop in the local area.

I don't know what pirates can grab here. However, the Dutch also had to build a small artillery battery on the site, garrisoning twelve people.

At that time, when the Dutch forces were being cleaned up, they were cleaned up together. That small fort, slightly trimmed, happened to be the barracks and office of the Ming security team.

The local natives are Pingpu people, who are familiar with Tibet, and during the Dutch colonial period, they were also members of the Dutch mercenaries, but they were not the main force. They are still a matrilineal clan society, with relatively docile members and good relations with the local Ming people.

Originally, the Hantang Group did not have a plan to fully develop here, and wanted to lay a solid foundation for itself, but after the Zhengjia Group put forward the request for land lease and reclamation, this made the Hantang Group happy.

There is a wasteland, not afraid of disputes with the locals, their production capacity can only let them farm by the stream, but our Hantang Group has technical support, go to the dry field, they can't solve the water source, we can.

The reason why Zhengjia Group can make this request is very simple.

This is indeed a place where there is a lack of arable land in Fujian, and every year we have to worry about rice and grain. If it was in the past, it would be better to say that this war is even more lacking in food.

This is the third master, Zheng Bin, who wants to take a good look at the farming of this Han and Tang Group, what kind of spells are there - for a while, he wandered around the Chiji area every day, and they could make water flow out of the ground automatically!

At that time, their Zheng family had not yet made efforts to conquer Tong'an and Quanzhou.

Not long after the Zheng family rented land and reclaimed the wasteland, the Pan family came there again.

Hantang Group was stunned for a moment at the time, the Zhengjia Group was forgivable for doing this, why didn't the Pan family go to the Geranza area, where the business situation was better, and go to Bengang, which was still relatively desolate?

Later, when I saw the commercial land application and housing base application submitted by the Pan family, I realized that they had taken a fancy to the larger land area granted to them there!

This nation's attachment to the land is deep in the bones - the Hantang Group thinks it is really difficult to change this.

However, that is their own choice, and all aspects meet the requirements of Hantang Group, of course, the application is clear.

The Pan family built their own business circle on that commercial land, and at first they wanted to build it according to the methods of the Guangzhou family - but the fourth son of the Pan family came forward, he said: "It is better to build it in the way of the Han and Tang groups, and those foreign and Japanese merchants are also very familiar with these——"

The eldest prince Pan Qi said: "Then the Hantang Group won't blame me for overstepping the system?" ”

Pan Feng, the fourth son of the Pan family, smiled bitterly and said: "My Pan family is blossoming and branching here, and they are not afraid that I will rob their business - will they blame me for overstepping the system?" Instead, I felt as if they wanted me to learn from them, but I didn't know what to say—"

The eldest prince Pan Qi smiled in his heart, these four brothers are still too young, who has a real top-secret technique that can be learned by others?

Unlike the Zheng family, which mainly built houses on the other side of the river, the Pan family's shops were easier to build.

At that time, Taiwan's cement was still in short supply, and the Pan family used all their cement output in Taiwan to Taiwan, which also caused the price fluctuations of cement in Guangzhou, even in Manila and Macau, the price has risen.

This made the Zhengjia Group, which later followed the trend to build a factory, earn a little more, of course, Yongshengbo Zheng Cai didn't care about these things at all, he was planning to make a force in Fujian.

The two brothers gave the Pan family's residence in Bengang to be completely Han and Tang collectivization, this is not said at all, the eldest son Pan Qi also lived in the Gelanza Hotel, and fully agreed with the description of convenience and comfort that the fourth brother said.

But if you are still wearing Ming-style clothes at home and feel uncomfortable, you can simply learn from them in loungewear, after all, it is convenient.

After the main buildings on both sides of Bengang Creek were completed, the Zheng family and the Pan family decided to jointly build a cement bridge - until this time, the Hantang Group felt that it could not pretend to be invisible, and this basic large-scale public facility was still responsible.

Hantang Group sent Manager Qian Shouguo to personally organize a team to design for them. Now he has been promoted to manager of the port engineering company in that personnel change.

He was sent out because of his strong practical ability, in other words, his ability to go wild.

Manager Qian Shouguo led a team here, and after measuring a few basic numbers, he quickly finalized the plan, and we will build an iron-wood structure small-span beam wooden bridge.

At that time, the third master Zheng Bin was a little displeased, and said in his heart, to build a wooden bridge, I still have to wait for the current shot? Still use Hantang Group to shoot? Find a few carpenters and build it—isn't the one on Bengang Creek the one we waited for a carpenter to build?

Manager Qian Shouguo is a careful person, and he can see that Zheng Bin is a little dissatisfied.

He said: "You said you were going to build a big cement bridge - but this is the fucking Jiliu River, and it will be changed once every few years, and what will happen to the bridge after that?"

There is also the cement produced by Hantang Group, many of which are unqualified, can you do it? Don't you see that the cement used in key parts is packed in red wooden barrels? That's specially fired! ”

Manager Qian Shouguo is extremely angry at this phenomenon of only saving face or lining, regardless of the actual situation!

No matter what kind of project it is, as long as you put a little attention to it, how can you say that it will collapse if it collapses?!

What kind of madness does that have to be?!

Therefore, with the full right to speak, Manager Qian Shouguo is a large number of special approvals for an unrealistic phenomenon!

Even our Hantang Group can't build the cement bridge connecting the two banks of the estuary, and you are still crooked as an ancient man hundreds of years ago?

In this way, Hantang Group used 45 cm cast iron pipes and hardwood, and used the method of triangular diagonal brace to get it.

It will definitely be done, Manager Qian Shouguo does not believe that these ancients can pass more than 20 tons of goods on the bridge deck at the same time under the current conditions - what do they use as a means of transportation?
