In the evening, I had just returned to the Beilun Residence.

"Oh, you're saying that the leading figures of New South Wales and Victoria, including the Premier and the Speaker, were not invited to the ceremony? Hehe...... This is an expression of dissatisfaction! Li Fushou heard the secretary's report, there was no look of surprise on his face, he smiled and walked towards the courtyard; If you don't come, don't come, let's close the door and enjoy ourselves. ”

"Lord Yuan Ding, these white politicians in the southern states are not even willing to do superficial articles, it seems that they are bent on confronting us!" Mr. Pan Shoudao had a trace of indignation on his face.

Victoria is a long way away, but Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, is close at hand, and it is only across a strait that it is easy to reach Beilun Port by ferry.

"It's going to rain, my mother wants to marry and go with him."

Li Fushou's mood was not affected, he paused for a moment and waited for Pan Shoudao to catch up, and then continued to move forward, saying as he walked; "Who are we going to deal with with these two Guards Infantry Divisions, and who are we deterring? Care...... It's no wonder that people are uncomfortable, and these superficial vain articles don't need to be maintained. ”

"It's difficult, Sydney and Beilun are separated by a body of water, and the economic, trade, and personnel flows are very close, so this is tantamount to cutting off cross-strait ties, and the losses are not small."

"Brother Shoudao, the current situation is like two brothers splitting up, one insists on separating and the other, so what can we do?"

"Please Yuan Ding teach me."

"Brother Shoudao is polite, there is nothing to teach or not, consider everything from the worst perspective and work in the best direction, which should be the only feasible strategy at present.

Organize relevant personnel to conduct a survey of the economic and trade situation between Beilun Town and Sydney, what project imports what quantity, what is the degree of dependence, and is there any import substitution option? What is the economic impact on Beilun?

Finding out these situations will help to solve problems in a targeted manner, and you can be aware of them and not be surprised by any changes. ”

Pan Shoudao nodded frequently after listening, and answered; "Yuan Ding's words woke up the dreamer, now I have a spectrum in my heart, Beilun Town is the most dependent on the southern states or the supply of wool raw materials, the three woolen mills in the town with a scale of 10,000 people will definitely face the problem of insufficient operation, even with the port transportation is also affected, the wool industry is the pillar industry of Beilun, this blow is not small!"

The Red River Valley has three textile center towns, Zhuque City, Songjiang Town, and Beilun Town, each of which has three large-scale wool textile enterprises (the 10th and 11th wool mills are still under construction), and the surrounding wool raw materials are generally supplied nearby.

The breakdown of relations with the Southern State has had little impact on Suzaku City and Songjiang Town, but it has had a greater impact on Beilun Town, because the three large woollen spinning enterprises in Beilun Town are mainly from New South Wales and Victoria.

The lack of operation of wool spinning enterprises will directly affect the income of 37,900 wool textile industry workers, affect 37,900 families, and inevitably affect the economic prosperity of the entire Beilun Town.

"It's okay, the southern states don't dare to do this for the time being, they can't afford it." Li Fushou knew what Pan Shoudao was worried about, he stopped and turned around, and said with a confident smile on his face; "In view of the high market price of wool, the Red River Valley Animal Husbandry Bureau plans to expand the existing Merino sheep herd on a large scale, from the existing stock of 46 million sheep to 70 million sheep, I think this time will only take more than half a year, and there will be no shortage of raw materials in Beilun Town at that time."

"That's great, but I'm worried that the wool spinning enterprises in the brother towns will grab raw materials, and the newly built wool mill in Songjiang Town will also need a large supply of raw materials after it is put into operation, which ...... It's really worrying that it won't make a hindrance! ”

"You...... Brother Shoudao, you're not kind, hehe......" Li Fushou laughed when he heard the other party's concerns.

Pan Shoudao knew that his careful thinking could not hide from the earl, but he was dedicated to the public, so he was very confident, and he was silent after laughing twice.

What to say in what position, Beilun Town is the most important town of Pan Shoudao, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the meat of the heart, and the wool textile enterprise is the pillar industry of Beilun Town, it is natural to shout for it, and it is reasonable to strive for its rights and interests.

The raw materials consumed in industrial production are staggering, and unlike cotton spinning enterprises, which often have thousands of workers, woolen mills in other countries employ only 1,000 people at most, and small and medium-sized enterprises have only 3,500 people.

Up to now, the 9 wool spinning enterprises under the Australian Red River Woolen General Factory have started directly with a scale of 10,000 people, which is the only super-large-scale industrial production (only in the wool industry) in the world today, and the scale effect and competitiveness brought by it are incomparable, all of which are world-class.

The development of enterprises has brought about a good appetite for raw materials, which once caused various enterprises to rush raw materials frequently, and repeated prohibitions.

The size of the sheep herd in the Red River Valley has doubled year after year, but it still cannot keep up with the strong demand of enterprises.

Although the nine woolen mills belong to the Honghe Woolen General Factory, they each have economic assessment indicators, business development indicators, profits and taxes and other indicators, which are directly related to the assessment and promotion of enterprise operators, workers' salaries and benefits, and how can things related to vital interests not be disputed?

In view of this chaotic situation

Honghe Woolen General Factory officially issued a document to determine that the area north of Songjiang Town belongs to the three woolen mills in Zhuque City, and the wool raw materials purchased by the wool purchasing station in the pastoral area within this range can only be supplied to the three woolen mills in Zhuque City, and cross-border purchases are not allowed to disrupt the order of the wool purchase market.

The wool raw material purchasing base of the three woolen mills in Songjiang Town is demarcated in the area north of Beilun Town, and the three woolen mills in Beilun Town are facing the wool purchasing stations in New South Wales and Victoria, each with its own territory, so as to avoid price gouging by various wool mills within the country, and expressly prohibit cross-border purchases.

"Lord Yuan Ding, what do you think of this matter?"

Pan Shoudao followed Li Fushou to the living room and sat down, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Brother Shoudao, you don't want me to give you an answer now, the matter is not so serious." Li Fushou couldn't help but smile, he knew that Pan Shoudao was thinking about the newly increased wool production.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it is not good to favor anyone.

The Red River Valley Ranch has the largest sheep herd in the world, about 46 million sheep, and the town of Beilun certainly wants a piece of the pie.

The 10th Wool Textile Factory and the 11th Wool Textile Factory under construction, one is located in Songjiang Town, and the other is located in Beilun Town, which is planned to be a large factory with 20,000 people, and has a lot of appetite for raw materials.

Why don't you buy the raw materials produced by your own farm?

Beilun Town has a great opinion on this, because compared with the wool raw materials of its own pasture has convenient railway conditions, the transportation cost of purchasing wool raw materials from southern states is larger, and the cost is naturally higher.

"Lord Yuan Ding, you can ask for a bowl of water to be fair, how much can the increased wool production of the pasture give us, it is not okay to be vague, Beilun Town, as a front-line town facing the challenges of the south, can only play the role of a bridgehead for immigrants if it develops stronger, you can't deny this?"

"Hehe, that's true."

"Then you give me an accurate number, seeing that the confrontation between the north and the south is becoming more and more acute, and the southern state is also developing its own wool mills, our wool raw material supply is not only expensive, but also vulnerable to the influence of bilateral relations, it is not too much to ask for a little wool raw materials from our own pastures, right?"

"Brother Shoudao, don't be so pitiful, your Beilun Town's purchase of wool from Southern Prefecture has always been more ruthless, and the wool is out of the sheep."

"What a great injustice!" Pan Shoudao shouted and hit the sky, it looked like that; "The price is all done by those white wool buyers, and it has nothing to do with us, the wool purchase station in the brother town is 1.1 pence per pound of wool, and the local wool mill is 1.25 pence, and the price of our Beilun town to the factory is 1.35 pence, and the purchase cost alone is more than 7% higher, which is definitely the highest purchase price in Australia.

"Okay, okay, Brother Shoudao, don't pester me, this matter will be studied in detail, don't make the gourd float." Li Fushou took a sip of the teacup, meaning to serve the tea to the guests.

Pan Shoudao pretended not to see, and still pestered Li Fushou to chatter about his grievances, entangled him like a fight.

It's really no problem

Li Fushou could only agree to include Novorossiysk Town, Beihai Town and Edinburgh, which are close to Beilun Town, into the raw material base of Beilun Woolen Mill, and supply raw materials to several woolen mills in Beilun nearby.

These three towns plus Beilun Town are four pastoral areas, and the number of sheep in the herd is not less than 6.3 million, which will grow to 10 million in the first half of next year, which will be a strong supplement to the supply of raw materials for the four large-scale woolen mills in Beilun Town (including the new 11 woolen mills).

Beilun Mansion is a place for the office and accommodation of all parties, divided into more than 10 small courtyards, although each small courtyard is not large but the furnishings are very exquisite, one should be fully equipped, there are servants and maids to take care of the living

The residence has a large conference hall, several small and medium-sized conference halls and a grand ballroom and other facilities for the banquet and office of the guests, and the Earl's entourage and dignitaries live here, which is convenient for the security guards.

The Earl's residence is in the innermost mansion, with a deep courtyard and an elegant environment, which is a good place to rest and work.

Pan Shoudao left the living room happily, and walked forward briskly, with a joy that could not be concealed in his eyebrows.

"Lord Pan, has the Earl relented?" Before he arrived at the gate of his small courtyard, Zhang Li, the mayor of Beilun, rushed out and asked impatiently.

"What's the hurry, every time there is a big event, you have to continue to cultivate!" Pan Shoudao deliberately kept a straight face, looking like a young man should be steady.

Zhang Li stared at his face and took a closer look, and finally saw some clues from the corners of his eyes that he couldn't hide, and asked in surprise and joy; "The Earl agrees?"

"Ahem, originally I wanted the output of 5 pastoral areas, but unfortunately I only got 3 pastoral areas, which can barely be regarded as achieving the goal." Pan Shoudao was reserved, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Great, sure enough, the Lord in charge is on the go, that is, you are highly respected, and the Earl has to give some face, haven't you seen how much the British nobleman called Brigadier General has eaten in a row?" Zhang Li slapped his ass fiercely after joy, followed Pan Shoudao back to the small courtyard, and said playfully; "This is a great joy for our Beilun Town, how about it...... Master Pan, can I beg you for a glass of water and wine? ”

"Hahaha...... Such a beautiful thing should be revealed. ”

Pan Shoudao laughed happily, and the two stepped into the small courtyard one after the other, shouting one after another; "Come on, come on, tell the kitchen to make a few delicious side dishes, I'm going to get drunk with Mayor Zhang today......"
