Chapter 243: Black Continent
Half an hour later, Zhang Jiao drove out of the mansion to his warehouse in Nanpu Port, Jiannan.
Liu Huasheng, who has been promoted to the financial director of 'Zhang Lingjiao Trading Co., Ltd.', several cashiers and accountants, as well as a group of temporary guest bodyguards, Mr. Zhengzi Touwen and Mr. Wu, the warehouse manager has long been waiting outside the door.
Seeing Zhang Jiao appear, all the staff greeted respectfully: "Zhang Xian (Ding Ye), you are here." ”
Zhang Jiao smiled and waved his hand and said loudly: "In such a cold weather, everyone has worked hard.
After the matter is done in a while, let's eat fat cow hot pot and drink soju in Huifeng Building. ”
strolled in front of Liu Huasheng, "Brother Hua, it's hard."
If it weren't for Jiang Chu's shipowner, he would have to settle the bill on the spot with gold ingots.
You don't have to work with you, the financial director, to come to the beach so late to eat the wind. ”
In more than one year, Liu Huasheng has changed from a down-and-out accountant with bad luck to the financial director of a medium-sized grain trading company with an annual salary of one million, and his appearance is very different from before.
He was dressed in a decent dark gray trench coat and suit, and his hair was combed, but the rigor on his face was unchanged.
shook hands with Zhang Jiao and said seriously: "Zhang Xian, this hard work is nothing.
The problem is that due to the war, the supply chain of Jiangchu, which was the largest supplier of agricultural and animal husbandry products in Nanyang in the past, has become more and more unstable.
Recently, the owners of the ships with whom we have a relationship have suddenly asked for on-site payment with gold ingots.
Decline of bank transfers.
It is clear that he is always preparing to break the contract and avoid punishment.
It's not a good thing, you should plan for it. ”
"I know. Zhang Jiao, who was confident, smiled easily when he heard this: "But it is rumored that Jiang Chu's Duxin son has been waiting for the throne and succeeding Chu Hou."
If it is true, the situation in Shennongjia Zero District will soon be stable, and everything will naturally improve. ”
Liu Huasheng worriedly put forward a different opinion, "If the battle between the princes of Jiang and Chu for the throne has ended, then the general environment will indeed improve."
However, the destroyed plantations in Shennongjia Zero cannot be restored overnight.
For those of us who are only medium-sized grain traders, it will not help at all in the short term.
Of course, Zhang Xian is in control of the pier in Tsim Sha Tsui Bay, and the situation will be much better.
However, considering the son of Du Xin, who is in the upper position, is said to be a pawn of the Great Cult.
And what the upper echelons of our three countries in the South Seas are most concerned about is the spiritual erosion of the cult forces.
Now, with the rising prices of grain and meat, even the 'Black Continent Exploration' plan, which has been stranded for hundreds of years, has been brought up again.
Some of these meanings are hard to think about. ”
The so-called 'Black Continent' refers to a vast and boundless continent across the sea from the Tuni Continent.
Because of their unique geographical location, the three countries of Nanyang cannot get a share of the continental hegemony when they have no land borders with other races and the environment is relatively safe.
There is still most of the wild land in the Ren Tu Ni Continent that is still in a state to be explored, and it does not account for a single cent.
So hundreds of years ago, when the population of Nanyang began to rise first with a more and more comfortable life.
Out of strategic considerations, the governments of the three countries have begun to more actively reclaim the empty land that can be used in the villages of Heung Yuen, Lantau and Singapore Islands while increasing the import of agricultural and animal husbandry products.
It also formulated an ambitious so-called 'Black Continent Development Plan', which set the target as a one-day voyage to the three islands in the South Sea, which is seven times shorter than the voyage of the Tuni Continent.
This incident once caused a lot of uproar, which greatly encouraged the self-esteem of the Nanyang people, who were still regarded as overseas outcasts by the general public of the Eastern Continent at that time, and they all felt that they were dwarfs.
The government even issued a special transfer treasury bond, which triggered a national rush to buy.
However, with the collapse of the first three groups of survey troops one after another, more and more industrialized breeding and breeding buildings have risen in the land of Nanyang.
And with the continuous strengthening of Jiang Chu's development of Shennongjia, more and more cheap natural grains and meat and egg products have appeared in the Nanyang market.
In the end, the popularity of the 'Black Continent Exploration Plan' gradually decreased, and it slowly ran aground, and finally came to an end.
But now, after nearly a thousand years, the concept of 'Black Continent Exploration' has begun to appear again on the Internet, newspapers, magazines and TV programs.
And it is always crowned, "We Nanyang people can't be tied to our necks with food nooses" and so on, which is highly inflammatory.
It aroused the enthusiasm of the small people in the market, and the deep meaning contained in it had to make people think deeply.
Thinking about the meaning of Liu Huasheng's words, Zhang Jiao couldn't help frowning and complaining: "In fact, the agricultural and animal husbandry products produced by industrial planting and breeding buildings can be eaten.
It's just that the taste is poor, and it can't be used as a nutrient.
The life of the common people in Nanyang is too good, obviously ordinary people always want to eat natural food at every meal, and from time to time take some nutrients to strengthen the body and prolong their life, so they will support the 'Black Continent Exploration'.
I don't want to think about how much manpower and material resources it takes to open up a negative zone.
When the economy collapses, they may not even have food to eat in the industrial farming and breeding buildings. ”
"Zhang Xian, that's not what he said. Liu Huasheng smiled and said: "After all, everyone wants to live a good life."
And nutrients are now the most important strategic substances, and there is no one.
The total population of the three countries has exceeded 2.3 billion.
With such a large force, the supply of nutrients is not self-sufficient.
Nearly half of them need to rely on a country that is likely to be controlled by a cult for supplies, and high-level figures naturally need to take action. ”
Zhang Jiao was silent for a while when he heard this, and said in approval: "This is also true."
Hey, Brother Hua, we little people, talking about this kind of worrying about the country and the people is actually just eating radishes and worrying about it.
Let's think about what I'm going to do in the future.
Regarding your reminder, in fact, I have already thought about it in the past few days, and I am planning to go to Jiangchu Zero District to explore the rumors again.
Let's see how things go.
If I had known that the dust would settle so quickly in the battle for the position of Jiang Chu, I would not have come back so early. ”
As he spoke, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, 'Ringing, ringing...'
Zhang Jiao took out a special dual-SIM mobile phone and looked at the number, and hid to the side to answer the channel: "Director Hong, is there anything wrong?"
"Xiao Zhang, where have you been these days, the figure is gone, and you don't come to play with me.
It's Qian Zhenshou's birthday in 2 days, and I plan to help him congratulate him on his birthday," Hong Tianbao on the other end of the phone said with a smile: "By the way, let those of us who have been in Shennongjia gather together with our friends who have shared joys and sorrows."
You must come then.
By the way, I have another project I plan to discuss with you, so I must come. ”
