Chapter 771: Finally Out of Coal
Finally out of coal.
Guo Beyu, the head of the Hangzhou business group, watched as the coal was shoveled up from the coal field by a pot camel machine forklift, and then piled into a pile, and then shoveled up by coal miners, and loaded into the coal hopper cars on the small iron track one by one, and then the string of coal bucket cars was pulled by steel cables to the dock area.
The coal hopper track was laid all the way to the dock area, and it was powered by a medium-sized pot camel winch. This equipment is not only responsible for hauling the eight coal hopper trucks, but also for providing power to the tower cranes on the dock
Force.
The coal hopper trucks are moving on the track at a speed of two meters per second, which is the most cost-effective speed, and they are ready to be unloaded in five minutes.
This time it's more than ten tons!
The head of the regiment Guo Beyu frowned, he was still dressed in white and gold, but he wanted to step forward and kick a few times, the speed was too slow!
No one knew how many sets of white and gold clothes he had, or why he always liked to maintain the true colors of the platinum alliance leader.
The captain of the coal mining team came over and said: "Captain Guo, the further you dig, the greater the wet content of the coal. β
He had suggested it before, but the rich old fellow didn't agree to any delay!
"If it's wet, it's wet, and you're not afraidβyou'd rather have less luck than go back early!"
The captain of the coal mining team was stunned for a moment, why is this? Not to mention wasting transportation capacity in vain, it may also hurt the coal carrier, which is a good ship.
Again, this is just a craftsman!
Captain Guo Beyu didn't want him to be unhappy, and he was still counting on him.
He calmly said to the captain, "It doesn't matter how much you bring back - it's important to let others know quickly that there is good coal here, and that there is a lot of good coal!" β
The captain of the coal mining team said, "We can send people back and spread the word first!" It's easy, I'll be able to steer a fast sailboat with two people, and I'll be back in Hangzhou in a few days! β
"No, you don't understand the merchants, they believe more in the real thing in front of them, and at this time, even if I vouch for my reputation, I will not reassure them.
Therefore, the first batch of coal can only be transported back to Hangzhou-"
The captain of the previous coal mining team also suggested that the first batch of coal should be sold to the wharf on Hainan Island, whether it is Haikou or Sanya, and they have already said that there should be as much thermal coal as there - so that they can earn a horse ticket as soon as possible.
But it's strange, the head of Guo Beyu is not in a hurry about this, but disagrees and insists on sending him back to Hangzhou.
The captain of the coal mining team really can't understand this old guy's train of thought, do you want to earn a ticket, or do you do something else?!
But it's a matter of what they say.
Hell if craftsmen think the same way as merchants, especially big merchants!
The two of them are incompatible, like officials and intellectuals.
If someone preaches an intellectual-style official, or an official-style intellectual, it must be an interesting society.
The head of the regiment Guo Beyu looked at the captain of the coal mining team who didn't understand and wanted to execute, and his heart was also warm, in this world, there are really people who don't get any benefits, but they will also think about others.
For example, right now, hehe, don't worry, there will be a reward.
In the following days, when the ten professional coal carriers were fully loaded with raw coal, theoretically there would be 8,000 tons of raw coal in this batch, but probably not - they set sail in turn, taking advantage of the rising southeast monsoon towards Hangzhou, and this time, halfway, they did not need to replenish it.
This professional coal carrier theoretically has a loading capacity of 1,000 tons, and at the same time has the characteristics of shallow draft and fewer sailors, of course, it also has the disadvantage of requiring more professional captains and sailors, and the speed of the ship is slower.
Originally, this was prepared by the Anjiang shipyard for the transportation of coal or other ores from northern Taiwan and Fujian, and the characteristic of sailing ships is that as long as they go to sea, there is basically no cost.
The Ming people immediately saw it in their eyes and learned it immediately.
This can make the stingy director Wu Jie angry, these ancients are so shameless, they pirate other people's achievements casually!
Secretary-General Yang Youxing kindly persuaded him, saying, forget it, don't you just have a flat bottom, a combination of cargo hold and watertight cabin, at most a pot camel machine to lift the sail and pump water or something, don't be angry, your bald head is red -- we don't have a patent law, you blame the board of directors.
Wu Jie said loudly: "I am a generous person, the Ming people will learn to learn, and the technology of the transport ship to India to transport iron ore will be learned by the white people!" β
Secretary-General Yang Youxing still kindly persuaded him: "Look at it, you science and engineering students will not settle accounts, well, the shipyard of the Portuguese East India Company has learned, what is the result?"
Are there more or less iron ore, manganese ore and rice, cotton, jute, buffaloes and women that are brought to us? β
Director Wu Jie thought for a while and said, "It's too much." They're rushing to transport it. β
"What we have less, what we want, they compete for what to transport, what kind of spirit is this?"
Director Wu Jie's bald head returned to its normal color, and said seriously: "It is definitely an international spirit, to be praised, to be praised!" β
Secretary-General Yang Youxing said: "The international spirit of fart, people also want to make money -- I wonder, why are good coal mines, good iron mines, and even bauxite better than us?" β
Director Wu Jie's bald head not only returned to its normal color, but also showed a joyful color, saying: "This is related to the metallogenic conditions. I'll tell you about itβ"
Secretary-General Yang Youxing nodded seriously, this is all knowledge.
He immediately shouted: "Xiao Er, have another duck tongue and spiced peanuts, two beers, and Director Wu will settle the account!" β
After the things were all on the table, Director Wu Jie happily calculated the accounts, and then raised a thick finger to speak.
Secretary-General Yang Youxing listened while eating, drinking beer, and increasing knowledge.
Really good.
It's so good, the gods treat my Guo family well!
Watching the sailboat leave, Captain Guo Beyu was relieved.
There will be wind and waves at sea, but when you go to sea, you basically can't be controlled.
He wants this batch of thermal coal to make everyone feel at ease in Hangzhou!
He wants this batch of thermal coal to show its ability to control the development of the silk weaving industry in Suzhou and Nanjing.
Now, all the big merchants in the silk weaving industry also know that they need to change their machinery and equipment.
They can see the role of the steam engine and the pot camel machine in silk reeling and weaving, but when they still want to rely on the Zhengjia Group or the Hantang Group to provide coal, they have already thought far away, how can there be no Hangzhou Group!
When the ten professional coal carriers set off, they had already brought two handwritten letters written by themselves.
One is for members of the business group, this is a trade secret, and it is inconvenient to tell anyone.
One is addressed to Mayor Bao Wei, and the implicit meaning of the letter is that as the mayor of Hangzhou, he must seek benefits for the Hangzhou business group and provide necessary help in machinery and equipment.
Then, he knew everything, tried his best, and immediately left it alone.
He thought about going out for a walk.
Captain Hu Zhennan said with a smile at this time: "Captain Guo, that's not good, you are walking around, there is a safety incident, who is it?" β
"Could it be that where does the old man want to go, and he still has to obey Captain Hu?"
Captain Hu Zhennan ignored his sarcasm, and still said with a smile: "That's not it, you paid a lot of money to hire me to protect everything here, what about the responsibility-"
"There's not even a single cigarette around here!"
"What if you run into one when you're out for a walk?"
"What do you think?!"
"Take my assault boat and go to the beach for a walk - you see that there are many islands around, most of them are made by ghosts, you can sigh, you can chant - you see, I have arranged for the team members who can write and martial arts to accompany you, walk more, travel thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books!"
Head Guo Beyu is in a very good mood, and he doesn't want to teach this somewhat arrogant offspring a lesson, who hasn't been young?!
Besides, he was really responsible, so the men and horses were released to patrol for 180 miles, and he would be used in the future - only for security work, it was too wasteful.
Since he was a child, the head of Guo Beyu has not looked down on anyone who is idle, especially his family's career.
Captain Hu Zhennan held a big eagle cigar in his mouth, and watched Zhang Depei accompany the old guy to the assault boat, and they walked away abruptly.
Liu Gang's military doctor immediately said: "Brother Hu, give me one, I'm going to die of hunger, it's not that I don't have a horse ticket to buy, it's Zhang Depei who always talks nonsense-"
"Well, let's all go a little farther away."
Captain Hu Zhennan casually handed him a box of big eagle cigars and said, "We are all brothers, don't talk too much." β
Liu Gang's military doctor saw that Captain Hu Zhennan had been watching the assault boat go away, quickly took out three cigarettes from the cigarette case, put them in his pocket, and then took out another one, and also followed Captain Hu Zhennan's example, bit off the cigar head in one bite, and lit it with a match.
Captain Hu Zhennan saw that the assault boat had completely gone away, turned around and said, "This base is not good at the moment - I'll wait to pick a place, and you can help me prevent the miasma and epidemics!" β
Liu Gang's military doctor said at this time: "Don't worry, Captain Hu, this business can't be lost, I learned my father's eight years - although the medical skills of the Hantang Group are weird, I also learned some!" β
Liu Gang's military doctor was really happy to touch the big eagle cigar in his pocket, several horse tickets, of course, his own business is not bad, he also has suggestions, there are many mountains and jungles around here, why not use your leisure time to let the team brothers identify more herbs, in case it is useful?
It's better than who always dazzles people's eyes with calligraphy, right?
The two of them seriously began to look for a better base location, there was no way, people spent money to hire them, but they couldn't ruin the reputation of Dingyuan Hou!
But how did the head of Guo Beyu know so much, he was so happy at this time.
Halong Bay, is a beautiful and magical bay with an area of 1,500 square kilometers.
On the vast and calm sea, more than 3,000 small islands formed by karst landforms stand dotted on the turquoise sea.
In the blue sky, there are faint white clouds floating; The sea water is clear and transparent, and schools of fish and shrimp swim leisurely in the water; As their assault boats sailed across the sea, white seagulls skimmed overhead.
It's really intoxicating to feel like you're in a fairyland.
Guo Beyu, the head of the regiment, put his hands behind his back, didn't need to hold the side of the boat, and said, "Zhang Wenwen, how do you see the beautiful scenery in front of you?" β
At this time, Captain Hu Zhennan strongly recommended Zhang Depei, who came to protect him, and said: "There is still a fishing industry here!"
Teacher Wu Dapeng said that a single economy is not a good way to develop! β
Guo Beyu's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he said that Chairman Wu Dapeng was his teacher!
Zhang Depei also said: "Teacher Jianguoan also said that at this time, if you start agriculture, especially the vegetable industry, you don't need to simply grow grain, you can let others send it, and this place will be active!" β
Guo Beyu's eyebrows suddenly jumped again, and he said that Director Jianguoan was also his teacher!
Zhang Depei also said: "Teacher Sun Defa also said, at this time, don't think about taking away resources, people will run, you pay more wages to local workers, and develop more industries, this place will become a real town, even if there are no resources in the future, there will be a good life here, you can collect taxes, unless you are born as a robber, rob and run, and then leave poverty, pollution and some angry people-"
Captain Guo Beyu feels bad, you are really the clerk of the Diluo security team?! Is it an ulterior motive??!
However, he still smiled and said, "How old is the little brother?" β
"20 years oldβ"
"In this way, when the next batch of coal is delivered, go back to Hangzhou with me, how about I hire you? Don't worry, the old man's price is absolutely fair-"
Zhang Depei said seriously: "No, I have signed a five-year contract with Diluo Security Company!" β
Thanks to the support of old friends yezhongye, gold alliance leader guozhiyin, Ling Buxu, cmd19764, dskiller1978, Li Weixiao, and Zhenrong years.
Special thanks to the Platinum Alliance Leader Qingfeng Mouse, the eldest sister Shen Leng Wu, and the Silver Alliance Leader MM Daddy for their help!
I believe that there will always be miracles in life, otherwise I'm sorry for life itself, I don't believe that there are eternal pirates who can understand you, such as Liu Ming in front of the mountain - I really need a monthly pass this month, help.
