Chu nodded forward and pretended to throw the dart in his hand.

Hit the 8 rings of the wooden target 5 meters away, and Kumiko and Olivia were full of envy in their eyes.

Fortunately, I remembered that Chu Xiangqian had said that he would be able to fly knives, and the envy in my heart was quickly put down.

In the future, Chu Xiangqian's ninja special secret weapon will no longer be a skill to learn secretly in the eyes of Ozunu's people.

Taking the towel handed over by Kumiko to wipe his face and hands, Chu Qianqian entered the villa and changed into a suit.

Kumiko and Olivia looked like maids at all, helping him dress up the whole process, and even as long as Chu Xiangqian was willing, it was no problem to correct the two female ninjas on the spot.

——

Chu Xiangqian drove to the old place, and after seeing Matsuno Ichiro, Matsuno took out a stack of photos and put them in front of Chu Xiangqian.

"Chu Sheng, the immediate family members of the Ishihara family are all here."

Chu Xiangqian picked up the photo and flipped through it, and quickly frowned and put it down, it was really a bit disgusting that the photo was taken.

"You're pretty efficient."

Unexpectedly, Matsuno Ichiro shook his head, "To be precise, this mission is personally led by my younger brother Shin." ”

Chu Xiangqian understood after listening to it, this is Matsuno Zhenxin who sensed the threat, so he went all out to complete this commission.

However, in the case of hasty action and poor planning, there may be considerable casualties.

Glancing at Ichiro Matsuno, seeing a faint smile in his eyes, Chu Xiangqian immediately understood that his guess might have been correct.

Otherwise, Ichiro Matsuno should not be happy at this time, but worried about his future situation, which will become more and more difficult.

Chu Xiangqian asked knowingly, "How do I look at it, you seem to be quite happy?" ”

Ichiro Matsuno was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his cheeks, "Is it so obvious?" ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, "It seems that although this operation was successful, there were some unexpected situations that were unfavorable to your brother in the middle?" ”

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian guessed, Matsuno Ichiro didn't hide it, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly and said, "Five people were seriously injured in this operation, and three of them were disabled. Two more people died. And if it weren't for my father, he would have waited aside.

Maybe the eldest son of the Ishihara family will escape.

And if he escapes, we'll all be in trouble. ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, the resources mastered by the eldest son were definitely not comparable to other brothers.

Once he escapes, he will inevitably seek revenge on Ozunu as soon as possible, and then seek revenge on himself, the person who issued the mission.

Of course, there is also the possibility of being chased by Ozunu to hide XZ.

Now that the person has been cleaned up, Chu Xiangqian's mood has improved.

threw 20,000 Hong Kong dollars to Ichiro Matsuno, "Relax for a few days, but don't make trouble." ”

"Hi", Ichiro Matsuno is not a fool, he naturally knows that the locals on Hong Kong Island, and most of their attitudes towards island people are hateful.

After everything returned to normal, Chu Xiangqian drove a yacht to Dapeng Bay that night.

The flew over early and looked around the island for more than an hour to make sure there was no one and no boats in the nearby sea.

Even on the opposite inland, Chu Xiangqian commanded the to fly over and check the surrounding dozens of kilometers, making sure that no one was using a telescope or anything to check this side of the island.

Only then did he drive the yacht with confidence and arrived near the island at night.

Because there was no wharf, Chu Xiangqian could only swim to the island and put 531,000 catties of rice on the island.

I bought 582,000 catties of rice from Wanwan and 600,000 catties from Vietnam.

Rice fish helped from Luzon Island and made 480,000 catties.

The first few times the rice was transported to the island, once 291,000 catties, once 240,000 catties, and the third time 300,000 catties.

It is equivalent to every time he gets rice, Chu Xiangqian leaves half of it.

This time, only 300,000 catties of rice were left in the warehouse for backup, and I believe that the 531,000 catties of rice are enough to boast about Xue Jianrong who is squatting on Dongpingzhou.

He also skinned all the 580 wolves and foxes that had been stored for more than half a year, made them into jerky, and even kept the leg bones and stacked them together.

The jerky alone is almost 30,000 catties.

I put another 30,000 catties of dried fish, which is almost the monthly output of the big fish produced by the game.

In the end, it was naturally 75 tons a month, that is, 150,000 catties of breadfruit.

I was going to swim back to the yacht, but I simply released 15 cows and 35 sheep that the game had produced in one day, and tied them to the trees with leather ropes.

Among these cattle and sheep, there are few males and many females, and there should be no problem in raising them on Dongpingzhou.

After all, Dongping Zhou is not small, the chickadee flew around, and at least a quarter of the place on the island was green.

And this batch of supplies is enough for a month's ration of almost 20,000 soldiers.

And because there are 30,000 catties of dried meat and 30,000 catties of dried fish, the troops will maintain a certain intensity of training, and they will not lose the body of the soldiers.

On the way back on the yacht, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but wonder, did he find a few people who could definitely be trusted to help him do the food transportation every month?

I think of Clear Water Bay and Chai Bay, not far from Donglong Island, which was bought by myself, and Dongping Chau is actually not far from Dongping Chau.

It takes about 2 hours to drive the boat, and maybe in the future, the supplies sent to the island every month can be placed in Donglongzhou on the Hong Kong island.

Then their own people in the mainland were responsible for transporting them to Dongping Chau by ship.

It's just that within a few seconds of this idea coming out, it was rejected by Chu Xiangqian.

Anyway, there will be a shortage of grain in the interior for only two years, and now the channels for purchasing grain have been established. Even if you are too troublesome, then change it once a month to 3 months and send 3 months' supplies to the island at one time.

The yacht returned to the marina, Chu Qianqian got off the boat, drove to find a public phone booth, and called Qian Guotai.

Knowing that this month's supplies had been transported to the previous island, Qian Guotai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he secretly passed the news to Xue Jianrong on Dongpingzhou.

Xue Jianrong, who was responsible for transporting the materials back for the first time, was nervous in his heart.

While the soldiers drove four fishing boats out to pick up supplies, Xue Jianrong, who was waiting in the telegraph room, walked back and forth anxiously.

The others in the telegraph room who were watching also became nervous.

Fortunately, everything is normal, after all, they have done the work of carrying 3 times before, and the British and the Marine Police do not have the courage to patrol here.

And when I heard a telegram from the soldiers saying that there was about twice as much food as before, and that there were 15 cows and 35 sheep left.

As soon as Xue Jianrong heard it, he knew that it was likely to be a congratulatory gift for him to come to Dongpingzhou to take office.

And the committee members who knew some, but very few, looked at Xue Jianrong in surprise, and secretly said Could it be that the comrades who have been helping us transport materials back really have something to do with Comrade Xue?

Xue Jianrong naturally did not leave the cattle and sheep in Dongpingzhou, and the next morning, they were all loaded onto the ship, crossed the sea, and then watched the convoy leave with the supplies, and then got on the ship and returned to Dongpingzhou.

And the 5,250 tons of grain have also been transported to Jinmen Port, with this 10.5 million catties of rice, it is equivalent to three more days of rations for more than 7 million people in the capital.

Don't look at 3 days, it seems to be very little, but in fact, it greatly relieves the pressure on the demand for food in the capital.

Moreover, according to the purchase agreement for light industrial products such as bicycles signed by Chu Xiangqian and Shangtou, the same amount of rice will be shipped every month until the end of this year.

It is equivalent to reducing the supply of food to the capital in other places, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Chu Xiangqian is a living person.

——

Early in the morning after Chu Xiangqian returned to Hong Kong Island, the sweaty horse specially selected for Lei Luo had already arrived, and when Bai Fanyu, Lei Luo, and Bai Yuechang, who also wanted to see the excitement when they heard the news, hurriedly ran to the stable in Happy Valley to see the horses.

Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to mention the matter of 50,000 tons of sweet potatoes with Bai Fanyu.

When Bai Fanyu looked at Lei Luo and his daughter, his mind was all on the red-hot sweaty horse, he whispered, "There is definitely no shortage of food for Luzon."

Even this year's summer harvest looks like a bumper year.

However, 50,000 tons of dried sweet potatoes really embarrassed them. This thing has been used as feed before, and it can't raise that much in a short period of time.

If you change it to corn, rice, and dried bananas, you can get it in half a month. ”

Chu Xiangqian frowned after hearing this, if he mainly traded rice, the transaction price would rise several times.

The only good news is that this year's rice harvest in Luzon is expected to be abundant, and the fall in food prices is inevitable, but the decline is likely to be offset by his 50,000 tons.

I remembered the 240 tons of rice fish I bought before, that is, 480,000 catties of rice, and it was actually 4 cents and 1 point 6 per catty.

Compared with the grain purchased from Orisha, it is 1 cent, 9 cents and 6 cents, and Chu Xiangqian subconsciously feels that it is too cost-effective.

If you compare the price of wheat in rice and Canada, you can buy nearly 3 catties per catty.

Rice fish is only 0.147 Hong Kong dollars a catty of rice wheat, and Canada is cheaper at 0.14 Hong Kong dollars a catty.

Scratching his head suddenly, "The price difference is so big?" ”

Then his eyes lit up, "Otherwise, let's set up an import company and simply import directly from the United States and Canada." ”

Chu Xiangqian sighed angrily, "How can it be so easy to trade across borders, otherwise, the farmers in Mi and Canada would not be worried about how to sell the wheat in their hands." ”

Rice fish was stunned for a moment, and couldn't understand it at all, isn't buying grain just to buy it with money?

Chu Xiangqian could only explain, "The grain of rice, Canada, and Daao was bought in advance by super large grain merchants in the form of futures a year or two in advance.

Buying grain in the United States, Canada, or Daao is actually trading with several major grains.

For the sake of money, capitalists don't mind violating the embargo clauses of the United States, but how to ship them out of the United States is not so easy. ”

Rice fish only then understood, to put it bluntly, if you want to buy grain in the country, if it is only a few hundred or thousands of tons, it is better to say, just find more farmers to purchase privately.

But if you want to do a transnational grain business, you can't avoid a few major grain merchants.

Even these people have stricter and more serious control over food than the government of the United States.

And the futures market is also about the interests of bankers and Wall Street.

If anyone suddenly buys tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of tons of wheat from the market, it will affect the price of wheat futures this year, which is tantamount to moving their cake.

This group of people is definitely more ferocious than politicians when they retaliate.

Another big trouble is that once you buy the grain, it is more expensive than the price that the Celestial Empire went to the rice country or the Canada grain merchants to negotiate.

If you don't keep it, some people will say that they have made the difference in the middle, and they will not be people inside and outside at that time, and even their kindness will not be rewarded.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian understood what it means to be difficult, and it is even more difficult to do practical things.

Maybe the people of the Celestial Empire, after running to Canada, will feel that the food they send to Jinmen every month is too expensive.

He then proposed to stop the cooperation with him for light industrial products such as bicycles.

Even if you complete a contract for 100,000 bicycles, 50,000 watches, 50,000 radios, and 10,000 sewing machines, you will think about exporting and selling them to foreigners.

It's really not like this kind of brainless thing won't happen.

For a while, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt bored.

But I heard the rice fish frown and said, "Then just buy corn kernels, it shouldn't be much more expensive than dried sweet potatoes." ”

Chu Xiangqian came back to his senses at this time, the amount of corn planted in Luzon Island is also quite large, and since it is expected that there will be a bumper harvest of rice, the price of corn must be even more unaffordable.

After all, when the price of rice drops, ordinary people naturally eat less corn.

Even some winemaking, feed industry, and food processing industries will reduce the purchase of corn.

After agreeing with Baifanyu and purchasing 50,000 tons of corn, Chu Xiangqian was thinking in his heart about how to reasonably show more than 100,000 tons of iron ore in the dock warehouse.

The biggest headache for Chu Xiangqian is that the iron ore in this year is the same as coal, not stored in warehouses, but stacked in the open air.

This makes it difficult to disguise the indoor environment of the warehouse and avoid the eyes of outsiders.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no monitoring at all these years, Chu Xiangqian would not be willing to sell iron ore.

Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Fanyu put Chu Qianqian's arm on his shoulder, and saw Lei Luo and Bai Yuechang walking over with a smile on their faces.

"Achu, if it's not troublesome, how about finding a rider to run a lap on the track?"

Chu Xiangqian nodded indifferently, when this horse is on the track, the better the performance, the more expensive it will be when he asks for a while.

Calling the horse boy to find a rider, Chu Xiangqian personally watched the horse boy put on the horse harness for the sweaty horse, and appeased the horse's emotions from time to time, lest the rider ride it on the track, and even the harness could not be put on.

Half an hour later, the rider who had been temporarily hired rode the horse around the track for two laps, and got acquainted with each other to a limited extent.

Then a timekeeper was found to test the horse's speed.

The result was similar to what Chu Xiangqian thought, since it was a specially selected good horse, not only did it perform well in terms of speed, but it was also praised by many staff in the racecourse in terms of endurance.

After the father and daughter of Bai Fanyu and Lei Luo heard the discussion of these people, they were overjoyed in their hearts, and at the same time, they secretly said that although Chu Qianqian was sometimes greedy for money, he was really reliable.

If you find a good horse, it will never be perfunctory.

Bai Yuechang put her arm around Bai Fanyu and said excitedly, "Abba, according to the meaning of these people, if you find a good rider and train seriously for a period of time, maybe you can run an endurance champion and come back."

If you're lucky, you might even be able to look forward to a sprint race. ”
