A week later

"Happy working together!"

Since the Civil War, the states of the South-Central United States have experienced the baptism of brutal war, the original slave estate system has completely collapsed, black slaves have fled to the North and East Coast, the southern plantation agriculture of the United States has been hit hard, and it has not been able to recover half of its original level, so our agricultural and sideline products are very short, especially toffee, Australian ham, sausage, cocoa, tea, soybean oil, cookies, wool and canned productsThere is a large demand gap, and Higgins hopes to focus on strengthening cooperation in this area. ”

"Very good, Mr. Mark Simmons, this is exactly what we want, with the Red River brand agricultural and sideline products into North America, with the high quality of the reputation quickly welcomed, there are several powerful American companies with us to discuss cooperation, we still choose Higgins as a long-term partner, is based on my own and Mr. Higgins deep friendship and happy cooperation experience, please convey good wishes to Chairman Higgins on my behalf, I cherish the cooperation between the two sides very much, this is very important."

"Thank you for your high compliment, and I will definitely convey your kindness as soon as possible."

"Hahaha...... Good. ”

Li Fushou and Mr. Mark Simmons, the representative of Higgins & Co., shook hands warmly, and the two sides reached a blockbuster cooperation.

The Red River brand series of agricultural and sideline products of Red River Valley Ranch will be promoted and sold by Higgins & Co. in North America and become one of the important partners.

Fischer Company is mainly engaged in the import and export of mining machinery, steel machinery and equipment and other products, and is not involved in the field of non-staple food circulation.

The agricultural and sideline products previously sold to North America, the United States Fischer Machinery Import and Export Co., Ltd. cooperated with Higgins & Co. to sell, with the help of the other party's extensive sales channels to quickly recover the payment, and made a lot of profits.

In light of this

Higgins took the initiative to contact Red River Valley Ranch, hoping to further deepen the cooperation between the two sides.

The implication is to get rid of the American Fischer Import and Export Company, and the two sides can directly carry out trade cooperation, so why bother with a burden to make money?

The two sides hit it off and officially signed a cooperation agreement.

In the future, the agricultural and sideline products sold by the Red River Valley Ranch to North America will be transported to the warehouse of the port of Auckland, and the Normandy Import and Export Company and the Fischer Import and Export Company will be traded in the spot, and each will take what it needs.

In this way, the Red River Valley Ranch can quickly return the funds, Higgins has a wide range of channels in the field of commodity circulation in North America, and the distribution of Red River brand agricultural and sideline products also has enough profit margins, which is a win-win result.

Li Fushou did not put his eggs in one basket, and the Normandy Import and Export Company also had the right to trade and sell food and primary mineral products in North America, taking a two-legged approach to development.

Avoid being controlled by others and losing the right to price and speak about goods.

On the one hand, we will actively develop powerful American commodity circulation enterprises to join, and on the other hand, we will develop independent commodity sales channels, so that we can walk more steadily on two legs.

However, the Normandy Import and Export Company has been established for a short time, and it takes time to develop slowly from experience to channels due to the constraints of contacts and funds.

So, this leg is lame.

After sending off the US trade representative, Li Fushou came to the study and sat down, took a sip of a cup of tea-fragrant black tea, and nodded reservedly.

A pair of warm little hands pressed on his forehead on both sides, kneading gently, soothing the fatigue caused by business negotiations.

Li Fushou closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of the beautiful little black slave Chrissy, with a comfortable expression on his face.

Rubbing her temples, pressing and pounding her neck, tapping the perimeter of her head, Chrissy was gentle and skilful, and it was clear that she had put a lot of effort into it.

At this time, Pang Xuehai, the new secretary of the secretariat, walked to the door with a stack of materials, and saw Li Fushou in the study enjoying a massage of the opposite sex alone, so he couldn't help but stop lightly and stood quietly at the door waiting.

Li Fushou, the big boss behind the scenes of the Red River Valley, has a lot of work, and the "five tiger generals" of the secretariat originally had their own appointments, and there were no people who could be used in their hands, so a group of elites were re-selected to fill the secretariat within Hongmen.

Pinch your fingers and count

The five tiger generals of the secretariat, Zhu Wei, Wei Chi Shouchuang, Hu Chaoshan, Jia Donghe and Luo Jingming, are now important ministers in the South China Sea and the North.

Normandy International Trade Import & Export Company is an important initiative to land in North America, with Van Ah Seng personally in charge, supplemented by Hu Chaoshan, one of the five tigers of the secretariat, in charge of trade and business activities on the west coast of North America.

Havana, Cuba, is led by Zhu Wei, and a steady stream of native Caucasian women has been sent to Australia, and more than 4,400 people have been repatriated, making more progress than expected.

The 19th century United Shipping Company of Australia is also an important measure for the comprehensive commercial layout of the Red River Valley, which solves the problem of Australia's remote location and product transportation import and export, and hides far-reaching strategic intentions.

This company is personally chaired and general manager by Li Fushou, and Jia Donghe and Luo Jingming, who are good at shipping, are divided into two people, one is responsible for North American routes, and the other is responsible for East Asian routes, which is also the second of the five tigers of the secretariat.

The last lieutenant who was skilled in military operations was newly appointed as the magistrate of the Southern District, under the command of 33 RCMP officers in charge of the security of the Southern District, and also served as the chief commander of the Red Dragon Brigade under the command of the "Xinghua Society", controlling hundreds of gunmen and thousands of loose members.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world

The people around the big dragon head have all taken important positions, and now the selection of the secretariat is a ladder to the sky, and the people who compete are really breaking their heads.

According to the selection criteria;

First of all, you must be proficient in Chinese and English, and be able to write and write.

This one alone brushes down 9 percent of the competitors, everyone can speak Chinese, and there are many people who can use English proficiently, but there are very few who can write.

Most of the veteran gold diggers are proficient in English conversation skills in communicating with the locals, and in an immersive environment like Australia, it is not difficult to learn English, but it is difficult to read and write.

Anyone who has passed this hurdle is a person with a heart, and he is a leader among the Australian Chinese.

Secondly, it is required to be of good moral character, honest and filial, and have no bad behavior.

This requires all the churches inside and outside Hongmen, the red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple teams, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne rudder and the Red River Valley base camp to focus on screening and selecting qualified talents.

Secondly, a total of 31 people were shortlisted for the final stage, all of whom were young talents in all aspects, and their moral and intellectual talents were first-class.

In this last step, Li Fushou personally selected 9 people to enter the secretariat, and among these 9 lucky people was Pang Xuehai, one of the new secretaries.

The remaining 22 people were not wasted, and 10 people were selected to study at the U.S. Naval Academy and 12 to study at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point for further study.

"Young Master, this is a report on the establishment of the Red River Valley College and its affiliated schools, the next step in the construction of commercial facilities in the valley town, and a report on the acquisition of several neighboring ranches in New South Wales, please read and approve it."

Seeing Li Fushou open his eyes, the secretary Pang Xuehai hurriedly walked in lightly and presented the document with both hands.

"Well, I'll see."

Li Fushou picked up the document and flipped through it, this is a report on the construction of the Red River Valley College and its affiliated schools by the beautiful Baixi, and the initial stage was mainly the leveling of the site and the construction of some school buildings, which was originally planned and has only been put into practice until now.

The school building is planned to be 12 acres of land, and 5 acres of school buildings and related ancillary facilities will be built in the early stage, including libraries, classrooms, school buildings and canteens, laboratories, etc., with a total investment of 4,300 pounds.

The building materials, trees, and rocks are all ready-made, and the roads and squares inside the school yard are paved with cinders, and everything is as simple as possible.

After all, the conditions for running a school were limited at the beginning, and it can develop slowly in the future.

It is possible to take advantage of the large number of gold prospectors in Brisbane in late autumn to enter the Red River Valley to build a large number of civil works, and a strong laborer can eat and live for a shilling a month's wages, which is not expensive but very effective.

Most of the Chinese gold diggers came from the coastal provinces, and there were generally few people and sharp contradictions in survival, so there were many people who knew how to carpenter and mason, in addition to the carpenters, lacquer craftsmen, blacksmiths, inkstones, goldsmiths, toothsmiths, leather craftsmen, etc., there were many real talents.

The manager of the recruiting workers only needs to shout at the door of the woolen mill; "30 carpenters and 30 lacquer craftsmen, come and sign up!"

There are at least 200 people rushing up, and it's so lively......

Li Fushou reviewed it, and with a stroke of the pen without any problems, he handed it over to the secretariat to make overall arrangements for construction, and there were specific personnel to dock and settle to solve various problems in the construction process.

These specific tasks are also an important aspect of tempering the secretary's ability, laying a good foundation for more important positions in the future.

As a superior, Li Fushou only needs to inspect from time to time.

After all, one person's energy is limited, and the importance of the Secretariat is highlighted, which can be relieved of a lot of tedious and specific work, and has time to consider more important development directions and strategic issues.

A trip to the United States in the summer

For Li Fushou, what touched him the most was not the vast land of North America, nor the bustling cities with large populations, nor the industrially populated Great Lakes region, but the developed and perfect education system of the United States.

Many of the famous American colleges of higher education have been presented, all over the major cities on the east and west coasts, from the military, arts, agriculture and animal husbandry, chemistry, mechanical industry to music and medicine, showing amazing development potential.

Accumulation is not a day's work.

According to the popular saying, I always think about the thief eating meat, and I don't see the time when the thief is beaten, and when he is struggling to survive by rummaging through expired food in the garbage can.

Although the metaphor is inappropriate, it can vividly see the whole process of a country slowly accumulating its heritage, slowly changing from quantity to quality, and finally breaking out at an appropriate time.

There is no such thing as casual success in this world, and this is true for people as well as for countries.

It is precisely in view of the importance of education that the large-scale literacy classes in the Red River Valley are carried out not only for the requirements of militia training, but also for the demand for high-skilled workers......

Ahem...... Leaving these incentives aside for now, the results are good anyway.
