Chapter 58 Great Industrial Expansion

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Fang Xiaoyu announced: "I have bought the entire Savage Continent, and in the future, we will use the development of the counties in the East China Sea as a cover, and focus on the Savage Continent." Everyone here gasped except for the news of the handwritten letter written by Fang Xiaoyu before the trip to East China.

The Savage Continent, what a big place it is, a place that is bigger than the Lanfang Empire. After listening to Fang Xiaoyu's words, Tobul was a little worried: "Young Master, I heard that the natural conditions of the Wild Continent are harsh, sparsely populated, and the sea route is not passable, so the development value is not great." "Tobul, who was a marshal of a country, also has some experience in land development.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "It's nothing, it's true that the sea route is not easy to walk, but when we develop stronger, we can use explosives to carry out underwater blasting and clear the channel." And the climate there is not bad, on the contrary, it is very rich. The population is smaller, but we can emigrate from the mainland, as long as we use overseas trade as an excuse not to attract the attention of others. Not to mention ......"

Fang Xiaoyu looked at the Browning Hammer on the side and said, "I accidentally met a dwarf tribe in the Wild Continent, they are called the Wasteland Dwarves, and the leader is called Beretta Hammer. Hearing Fang Xiaoyu's words, the Browning Hammer immediately jumped up, and said angrily: "There is a dwarf race? How many of them are there? Fang Xiaoyu said: "There are about 100,000 people, but because they are not good at agriculture, the living conditions are relatively difficult. ”

It was also the first time that Hua Dongxing had heard about this, and he nodded: "This advantageous condition can be used, with the help of these dwarves who are familiar with the terrain, we can speed up the development of the Savage Continent." Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, but we must now develop the counties of the East China Sea and establish a shipping company, as long as we have our own shipping company, we can keep it secret." Hua Dongxing said with a smile: "When I report the results of the past two years to the young master, the young master will not have such concerns." Fang Xiaoyu glanced at the confident East China Trip, and didn't say anything more, just nodded.

Today, Fang Xiaoyu came back, and there were a few more guests from the Western Continent, and Sun Chuanzong asked the chefs to set up a sumptuous banquet. All kinds of good dishes were served on the table one after another, and the eyes of Huo Lan and the others who watched it were straight for a while, and after tasting it slightly, they praised the deliciousness of the dishes, which were even better than those eaten on the boat. Then these people began to bury their heads in destroying food, and the speed at which they ate made Sun Huaizong on the side stunned, and he had to let the kitchen prepare more dishes.

During the meal, the room was unusually quiet, and Huo Lan and the others didn't have time to talk at all, so they only cared about destroying the food in front of them with all their might. They were focused on eating, and the others were naturally not easy to talk to, so they could only laugh at a few new customers who were not productive, while eating their own food. The others were not surprised by the performance of the Huo Lan people, because they were in the same situation after they first ate the food that Fang Xiaoyu had researched.

The guests and hosts enjoyed a meal, and the tiredness of the saddle horse for many days made everyone very tired, and after the meal, Huo Lan and the others would rest in their new accommodation, and Fang Xiaoyu also returned to his room, but he didn't go back for a long time, and Huadong Xing came to the door with a few big books.

Seeing Hua Dongxing struggling to enter the house with a thick stack of books, Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Mr. Hua, why did you bring so many things over." Huadong Bank put the notebook on the table and said with a smile: "Young master, these are the industrial directories and account books that we have developed in the past two years, how to say the details if you don't take them." Fang Xiaoyu looked at the thick stack with straight eyes and said in surprise: "Have we actually developed so many industries?" Hua Dongxing said with a smile: "This is all the credit of the young master." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head: "I have been running around for the past two years, and I have not commanded the development of the empire, and these credits are all due to Mr. Hua." Hua Dongxing said: "Young master, don't be modest, if it wasn't for you leaving the industry of Lanting Villa and so many best-selling goods, how could we have the money to develop, if it wasn't for you and Marshal Xiahou cooperating, how could we have so many opportunities to expand in the counties of the East China Sea." And after you went out, the eldest master of the Fang family had already decided to hand over the Lanting Money Village to us, and he also raised 20 million from the profits this time to give it to us, which is also the credit of you, young master. Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "It's nothing? An old routine that strikes the West, I didn't expect the Cheng family to fall into the trap. ”

Hua Dongxing said worriedly: "No, the Cheng family has not been completely killed, the young master should be careful of their revenge." Fang Xiaoyu frowned and said, "What?" Has the Cheng family been looking for trouble in the past two years? Hua Dongxing shook his head and said: "No, the Cheng family has been very low-key in the past two years, but the more it is launched like this, the more terrible it is, we have to be careful." Fang Xiaoyu nodded, and secretly wrote it down in his heart.

Huadong Xing patted the thick account book and said: "These are all things in the future, let me talk to the young master about our own industrial development first." After speaking, Huadong Xing opened the top book and said: "In the past two years, we have opened more than 200 shops and more than 130 farms in various counties in the East China Sea, and there are also 51 factories and 312 money houses, of which most of the money houses are received from the former Cheng family. The profit of the previous year was not high, only 12 million yuan, because we needed to buy land and open a factory, which cost most of it. Last year was much better, and we made a total profit of more than 83 million because we didn't have any big projects. At present, we can mobilize 120 million yuan, and the liquidity of the bank is nearly 100 million yuan. ”

Fang Xiaoyu gasped and said, "There are so many? ”

Hua Dongxing said: "The main thing is that the young master's goods are too easy to sell, although the price has been lowered a little due to our expansion of production, but the profit is still more than 100%. Hua Dongxing said: "After I received the letter from the young master last time, I have already placed orders in the twelve shipyards that I have just taken over, and a total of fifty cargo ships of about 1,500 tons have been ordered, and the cargo ships have been launched one after another, and it is estimated that the last one will be launched for trial voyages in another month, and a lot of sailors have been recruited, and then our trading company can be established." And I have already begun to send a batch of people and supplies to the Wild Continent, where preliminary construction has already begun. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "When I have time, I will go to the Wild Continent again, we need to start building a real heavy industry." Hua Dongxing glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "There is one more thing, I need to report it to the young master, and please don't blame the young master." Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "I trust Mr.'s character very much, just say anything about it, I won't be surprised." ”

Huadong said: "Our industry is developing too fast, so in order to strengthen the defense, I privately expanded the Iron Blood Guard to 20,000 people, and most of them are now scattered in our various industries, without attracting the attention of outsiders. Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "This is a good thing, originally I also wanted to expand our military strength after I came back." Hua Dongxing said: "The people I and I recruited have all spread to various industries, Lin Feng and their orphans are now nearly 20,000 people, and I have also scattered most of them to the counties of the East China Sea. I think that before the young master becomes a lord, we must hide our strength and try not to let others pay attention to us, so that we can develop better. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "That's right, low-key, you must be low-key now." At this time, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, why didn't I see Zhao Quan today?" Hua Dongxing said: "Zhao Quan has gone to the Monte Empire, and it is estimated that he will come back in the next two days." ”

"To the Monte Empire?" Fang Xiaoyu was puzzled: "What does he need to go in person?" "Recently, the situation in the Monte Empire has been very tense, and I heard that the Cossack Empire has given them a lot of weapons assistance. Zhao Quan wants to take a look and grasp the latest information, so that the young master can have a reaction time, and if the matter is urgent, he is ready to send someone to the Western Continent to find you. ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "It seems that I came back at the right time, I will report to the staff headquarters tomorrow and see what Marshal Xia Jun means." Hua Dongxing nodded and said: "That's naturally the best, young master has to seize this opportunity, once we have a piece of our own territory, it will be much more convenient to act, so that we can also develop the Wild Continent faster." Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, this opportunity must be seized." ”

The two of them sat in front of the oil lamp, and the Lanfang Empire in East China for more than a year went up to the court and down to the big things in the market, and they talked about it until late at night. Huadongxing talked to Fang Xiaoyu for a while, seeing that it was not early, Huadongxing, who was afraid of delaying Fang Xiaoyu's rest, immediately got up and said goodbye, Fang Xiaoyu was really a little sleepy, since Huadongxing proposed to leave, he agreed.
