Chapter 555: Before leaving
The person waiting in Guangzhou was none other than Benjamin. After he came to Beijing this time, he listened to Xing Shuang's opinion, went to Guangzhou, and bought a batch of rubber products in Jia's rubber plantation, ready to sell them in the West.
At this time, rubber and tires had not yet appeared in the West. In the official history, these two things were invented by Westerners and finally introduced into China.
But with the efforts of Jia Liang and Jia Lian, these two things have now become Huaxia's inventions. This rubber product is waterproof and waterproof, even if it encounters water ingress in the hold, there will be no loss, and it is indeed the best cargo for sea transportation.
Moreover, the forums made by Jia Lian are all the sizes used in Western carriages, and they can be used immediately as long as they are loaded back, and they do not need to be reprocessed, so they must be extremely popular.
Benjamin spent months in Guangzhou, waiting for the final batch of tires to be ready. In June, he suddenly heard that Wang Xifeng had come to Guangzhou, so he hurried out of the rubber plantation and rushed to Jia's other courtyard in Guangzhou.
The Jia family's courtyard in Guangzhou is the house purchased by Jia Zhu when he was released. When Li Kun left, because there was still his own rubber plantation here, he did not sell the house, but left someone to guard it for future settlement.
This is convenient for Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai, they don't have to go to the guest house, and there are ready-made subordinates to serve, they didn't notify Benjamin immediately when they arrived in Guangzhou, but went shopping for two days, and only sent someone to inform them when they had enough.
Benjamin met with the two and learned that the girl was Wang Xifeng's cousin, so he quickly greeted each other and introduced himself.
Xue Baochai learned that this was the foreigner who "rented" his cousin's foreign goods shop, and he was even more sure that his cousin must have sent his cousin to help him.
Xue Baochai said with gratitude: "It is really an honor for me to be able to get the help of the two of you this time, and I am not grateful for my great kindness. ”
Wang Xifeng smiled: "Since you said so, I have something I want to entrust you." ”
Xue Baochai said, "Cousin, please speak." ”
Wang Xifeng smiled and said seriously: "There is something I haven't told you before, but you are going to leave now, so I have to tell you."
"Your younger sisters, in fact, are not in Jinling, they have been to England for almost two years. They used to go to study, your second sister is going to go to the women's university this year, and the other sisters are too young to enter the school, and now they have only hired a tutor to teach.
"When you go, you can think about what you want to do in the future, and you can also ask you to take care of your younger sisters. Although you are not as good as them in language, you are more sensible than them, and if there is anything they can't take care of in this life, please take care of them more. ”
When Xue Baochai heard this, she couldn't close her mouth in surprise, she really always thought that her sisters were all by Mrs. Xing's side, but she didn't expect her cousin to be so bold and send them to England privately.
"This ...... Old lady she ......"
Wang Xifeng interrupted her and said, "The old lady naturally doesn't know, and I also advise you not to poke this matter out." After all, this going to the West is unacceptable to the old lady.
"Let me tell you one more thing, do you know why Benjamin cooperated with our family? It is precisely because he is your brother's classmate and friend that the whole family is sponsored by your brother.
"Your brother and I have been to England a few years ago. And I also went to a women's university, where I studied fashion design, and now I have this studio because I learned it outside of me. ”
Xue Baochai seemed to have heard something terrible, and suddenly felt a thunderbolt from the sky.
She always felt that her cousin's family was different from others, and the whole family was too extraordinary, she thought it was all because of her cousin's education, but she didn't expect that there were such reasons.
Benjamin smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we are not a wild place in England. Okay, it's true that there aren't as many foods as here, but we also have advanced craftsmanship and a lot of specialties.
"And the status of our women there is much higher than that of yours. If you go there, whether you want to study or work, no one will look at you strangely. ”
Wang Xifeng added: "Of course, most of the people who do odd jobs are daughters from poor families, you brought your own coil this time, and you can live with your sister when you get there, saving the cost of accommodation, and your coil can be used for you to eat, drink, live and travel there carefree for two or three years."
"But I don't advise you to do so, your sisters are very favored people at home, and you should know how your mother treats you. If you are content with the status quo and just study and have fun every day like your sisters, once the contract period is over, you will not be different when you come back.
"I advise you to take this opportunity to create your own career. Don't worry, if it's a language problem, there is a language teacher on standby. If it's a matter of connections, your cousin-in-law and I have already established a network over there, and your cousin-in-law has been there for all these years, and now I'm afraid it's even more so than a few years ago.
"With these resources being used, I believe that a girl as smart as you will be able to find a way out for herself. I'll say something ugly, if you don't seize this opportunity, nothing will be achieved in a few years, and it will not only be you who will lose face in the end, but also my Viscount's Mansion and the General's Mansion. ”
Xue Baochai burst into tears of excitement after hearing this, and said tremblingly: "I fully understand my cousin's intentions, not to mention for myself, but for my cousin's husband, for my cousin's aunt and uncle, I can't let people look down on me."
"Over the years, if I didn't have my cousin's help, I wouldn't have woken up, and if my cousin didn't come to my rescue, I was afraid that I wouldn't have a chance to fight back.
"Now it's time for me to think about myself and not think about anything else. If I don't accomplish anything, I won't have the face to come back to face my cousin and aunt. ”
Wang Xifeng nodded with a smile, then turned his head to Benjamin and said, "My cousin, but my cousin, you are not allowed to snub him." ”
Benjamin hurriedly promised: "Who dares and who dares?" Your sister is my own sister, and I didn't dare to guarantee it before, but now my family's position in England is more than enough to protect her. ”
Xue Baochai laughed when he heard this, and the three of them laughed together, and Wang Xifeng began to tell Xue Baochai about the precautions for going over there one by one.
Benjamin saw that the two were happy, so he withdrew and asked his little guy in Huaxia, "How is my ship ready?" ”
The little guy said: "I have asked a few times, I have prepared it early, and all kinds of applications have been configured, just wait for the rubber plantation to deliver the goods and load the ship, and the master can set off." ”
