Chapter 520: Value for Money
"Your Excellency, we have investigated this woman named 'Tanya'. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info she is a moderate in the 'Enclave', and she also takes care of the Mexicans in the factory, and is easier to communicate with than other 'Enclave' managers. However, due to the social chaos of the last days, we can't find out her past identity information, so we can only temporarily list her as a buyable person. ”
In the study room of the Governor's Mansion in Merida City, the old housekeeper Martin held a small book to report to Zhou Qingfeng. Recently, a series of good deeds in the Governor's Palace have made the seventy-year-old man very prestigious among Mexican laborers, and the work of gathering all kinds of intelligence information is done by the old butler.
But the information from the investigation could not relieve Zhou Qingfeng's doubts, he shook his head slightly and said: "It is impossible for an ordinary 'Enclave' manager to run around with a dozen entourage. According to Rubin's account, this woman contacted many officials in the city of Veracruz in a short period of time, and finally helped us get a thousand tons of diesel, which is not an ordinary ability. ”
The smuggled diesel oil of two to three thousand tons a month is not a small supplement to the 'Aurora Army', at least it has greatly accelerated the restoration of several offshore oil wells in Campeche.
The oil workers who had been brought in from the Enclave are now in good use, and it is tentatively estimated that the crude oil will be re-extracted in a month. Zhou Qingfeng is full of hope that he can store enough crude oil to launch a campaign to attack Mexico.
At this moment, Tanya, who was ordered by Zhou Qingfeng to be monitored more, was still in Veracruz City, and Zhou Qingfeng sent her all the medicines and equipment that a complete small clinic should have, and controlling these things gave her the upper hand in negotiations with corrupt officials in Mexico, and even helped her alleviate the urging from the 'Enclave' headquarters.
It's a good feeling to be in control of the supplies, to be sought after and in awe. Even if it is something that was completely unattractive in the past, as long as it is scarce and valuable now, then this control will give rise to power.
Tania plans to stay in Veracruz City, which has a large transportation area, a large population, deep connections, and is far away from the forces that can hinder her. The ambitious woman felt that she was like a fish in water, "Our Governor Alfonso is really interesting, I almost killed him, I should have seduced him if I knew he was so useful." ”
"The only thing that makes people unhappy is the 'biomaterial processing plant', which is a shame!" By selling all kinds of medical supplies, Tanya easily bought a large mansion in the city, as well as more than 20 servants. But as long as she saw Rubin scurrying all over the street, she was angry.
Veracruz's civic facilities are a bit like those of last century China, with one- or two-story low-rise houses lined with power poles along the streets. The difference is that the city is filled with beggar-like refugees, who fight for jobs and food on a daily basis.
In order to recruit qualified workers, Rubin turned to the medical team in the port area, who was able to help him with the initial screening. So the medical team recruiting young women has another business, and they will ask people who have passed the medical examination - Do you want a job?
Fourteen hours a day, two meals are dry, accommodation and security are provided, and a good job is rewarded with meat cuts.
Job? Really give me a job? Everyone who was questioned showed unbelievable joy, and it was too difficult to keep people alive in these years. The news that the medical team is also providing work has also spread, and more people have come here to try their luck.
"Well, I only need a hundred people, and I ended up with more than three hundred." When Rubin saw his own manpower, the overwhelming crowd could overwhelm him. He took the more than 10 cronies he brought with him as cadres and managed these more than 300 people.
"Listen, you guys work for me honestly, work hard, and anyone who causes trouble will be cleared out at once." Rubin carried a loudspeaker and turned around the regiment commanded by more than 300 coolies, "First of all, I need a storage yard. ”
Rubin built a manure dump near the port of Veracruz, and then ordered coolies to carry wooden carts to collect manure from all over the city. But in any case, when hundreds of people filled the streets looking for, the reputation of the 'biomaterial processing plant' was spread.
In order to survive, the poor will not care whether their reputation is good or not, as long as they can change the meal. Anyway, it's easier to find than to find food, so more people spontaneously gave Rubin all kinds of feces from various places, and Rubin only had to set a price to buy it.
Every day, a large number of people make deliveries to the manure dump. In order to monopolize the dung source, some people even ran out to be dung bully. Although only the city of Veracruz initially has a manure collection network, a city with a population of more than 100,000 people produces hundreds of tons of manure per day.
This chaotic scene of order made Tanya, who had been paying attention to the matter, very strange, and she thought it was a farce. Seeing that although the matter of collecting feces was a little stumbling, it was going smoothly on the whole, and she couldn't help but think deeply, "Is this really a big benefit?" ”
Ever since 'Governor Alfonso' faced off with Lula, the Doge who was seen as an idiot had been amazed, but everything he did paid off in the end.
In the same way, the officials of the upper class of the city of Veracruz are secretly circulating various speculations and doubts. For example, Garcia, the director of the port authority who does business with Tania, this greedy guy has just made a lot of money from the drug business, but it is really eye-popping to see which shrewd lady actually opened a feces collection company, "What the hell does that woman want to do?" ”
Every day, at least thirty small steamers of 500 tons come to the port of Veracruz, and they usually carry all kinds of goods and carry away coal. Recently, however, some small steamers have started transporting treated manure.
"They take hundreds of tons of manure from the city every day, and almost all of the excrement of more than 100,000 people in the city. Is manure more important than coal? "Garcia really felt like hell of it.
There are many, many people in Veracruz who are so puzzled, and many of them want to see through the secrets and then intervene to make money.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the manure collection is going well, and I intend to further establish collection points in more than a dozen cities along the Gulf Coast and bring it back by boat. It can supply at least two thousand tons of manure to the city of Merida every day. After more than half a month, Rubin returned to the city of Merida.
And Zhou Qingfeng glanced at Rubin with a smile, and then pushed a box in his hand to him, "Rubin, you and your brother Farr have done a good job during this time, I am very satisfied." This is as a personal reward for you. ”
"What is this?" Rubin opened the box and saw sixteen neatly arranged eggs inside. "Eggs?"
"Salted eggs, to be exact. After a few months of hard work, Havana's chicken farms are finally able to produce eggs in small batches. It should be said that it was all worth it. We finally have a stable source of protein. ”
When the egg is opened, there are tender egg whites, oily yolks, and a salty and fragrant smell wafting out, which stimulates people's appetite. (To be continued.) )
