Chapter 3 The start has come to an end!
On board the American bulk carrier "Eva", which was fully loaded with 3,000 tons, Captain Mahan was holding a briar pipe in his rough hands. He frowned and carefully observed the strange "refugee" in front of him. There was something unexplainable in his heart.
The feeling is wandering back and forth.
The first impression Zhu Bin gave him was too unusual. He was obviously of Chinese ethnicity, but he was taller and stronger than most white people. His skin was dark, as if he had been exposed to the sun for many years, but his lips were not at all beautiful.
It looked like he had been drifting at sea for dozens of days, not to mention the weird box that was sitting under his butt that was forty feet long. Well, he said it was called a "container"?
"I am very grateful to the kind-hearted Captain Mahan for extending his generous hand to save me. I am very grateful. I will try to give you enough reward after arriving in Shanghai!" Zhu Bin seemed to be very sincere and patted his chest to express his gratitude.
Affection.
Captain Mahan waved his pipe, his eyes were no longer so sharp, and he said rudely: "Don't be too polite, we are all people wandering on the sea. Since the sea god won't take you in, I have to take care of you if you come across it. Besides, I will rescue you.
Mr. Mayer means, young man, you should express your gratitude to that respected boss."
"That's for sure." Zhu Bin nodded with a seemingly well-educated smile, and then changed into a more decent set of clothes with the help of the sailor. Of course, he still paid for it with cheap verbal thanks, and finally went to the central bridge to see the man.
A big boss who is said to be very awesome.
Captain Mahan glanced at the huge box again, and seemed to think of something, but his brain, which was burnt by alcohol, was not very easy to use, so he shook it hard and thought no more.
In the best room of the entire ship except the captain's room, Mr. Welhelmer Mayer, the general manager of Anderson Mayer Company, was lying on his back on his custom-made leather recliner, looking at him carefully with a pair of deep gray eyes.
The young man in front of him, who was wearing a very ill-fitting low-end suit but looked calm and at ease as if he was the master, was rapidly assessing the possibilities in his mind.
When he discovered Zhu Bin, the general manager was working overtime and trying to clear up his increasingly confused mind.
He is fifty-five years old this year. He has worked hard in China for thirty years. Starting from scratch, he has built a large trading company with a capital of over ten million US dollars around the world and more than a thousand employees from various countries.
He represents the products of 171 of the largest companies in the United States and is one of the largest foreign companies in China. When mentioning the Chinese name "Shen Chang Yang", it can be said that it is a household name. This is the pride of his life.
But he felt that he was getting old, and the pain began to emerge from the darkness, quickly consuming his life. He didn't know how long he could last. However, those children only wanted to enjoy an advanced and generous life in the United States and were unwilling to accept the
It is very sad that there will be no one to inherit his career in this class.
General Electric, one of the company's major shareholders, has proposed a full acquisition intention, but he did not agree immediately. This is his career, and he does not want to give up just like that. He can still sustain it for a few more years. China in the Far East and its thousands of years of vassalage
A fierce war was about to break out in Japan, which meant countless business opportunities, interests and the instinct for money drove him to drag his tired body back from the United States again. He did not want to lose this opportunity.
Originally, saving a person who fell into the water did not require a noble person like him to speak, but when he first saw the big box under the Chinese man, his keen nerves that he had cultivated for decades were stirred - there
There must be huge business opportunities. So for the first time, he asked Captain Mahan to rescue people. Although Mahan was his employee, the captain was the boss on the ship. Even if he was the boss, he could not give orders casually and overstep his authority.
When the metal box weighing at least twenty tons was carried on the ship, Ma Yier confirmed his judgment, so he decided to talk to the young man immediately.
"Being able to meet in this way on the vast sea, in the words of you Chinese, is 'fate'. So, young man, can you tell me your origins?" Ma Yier smiled seemingly gently,
He asked the attendant to pour him a cup of black coffee.
Zhu Bin politely expressed his gratitude and showed his well-educated gestures and movements that made Mr. Mayer's eyes brighten. After once again thanking him for saving his life, Zhu Bin continued to lie without changing his expression: "...our village has inconvenient transportation.
Most of the people went out to sea, and it was too late when they realized that the huge waves were coming. I tied myself to the box and was swept into the sea. I didn't expect that this saved my life."
The village has been razed, and several Chinese are missing. The Americans have no interest or time to search carefully. This is an identity that is almost impossible to verify, and Ma Yier obviously does not intend to invest too much energy in it.
"Can you tell me about this... container of yours? You said that you invented it yourself, and it can greatly improve the methods and efficiency of the entire transportation and material circulation? Young man, this is not something you can boast about casually." Ma Yier's gray eyes
There was a strange light shining inside, seemingly careless, with a faint expectation.
Zhu Bin has seen countless profiteers, especially those who try their best to lower the price of the good goods he finds from the garbage dump. He is familiar with that look, and he hates it very much.
And he also knew how to conceal his emotions, and said with a sincere face: "Mr. Mayer, this is undoubtedly a great invention. My uncle and I have summed up the experience of several generations and perfected a complete system. I
We firmly believe that it will change the world. Originally, we wanted to return to China to establish a production company for container manufacturing and related equipment. Are you interested in this?"
Until the interstellar age, standard containers of various sizes were still the best carriers for transporting bulk goods. As a senior garbage collector who drives a spaceship all day long to pull things all over the galaxy, Zhu Bin can no longer be familiar with this set of things.
Originally, he only made such a container to load necessary equipment and supplies to facilitate his movement. It seemed that this thing was still very new, so he firmly admitted that he invented it himself.
Mayer was surprised by the young man's keen insight and saw through his intentions directly, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He nodded and said: "Yes. You know, Anderson Mayer Company or Shenchang Yangxing has all the
Branches and customers worldwide, if your invention is really that effective, or will save us a lot of transportation costs, I think my peers will like this invention. Young man, if you can convince me
, I will consider investing in this.”
Before coming to see him, Zhu Bin specifically asked a young man named Wang Kaishan who was said to be his Chinese assistant. He roughly knew the status of Shen Chang Yang Company in China, and Mr. Mayer was also very influential and powerful.
Can develop into a partner.
So he nodded and clenched his hands on the table with seemingly joy: "That's great! I'm still worried about how to start this business. Mr. Mayer, you not only saved my life,
If you also provide me with such help on my future path to wealth, I swear that I will definitely share the huge profits with you!"
Young people are still very easy to be excited and persuaded! Ma Yier was secretly proud of his ability, and looked at Zhu Bin with an even more kind look: "You see, the time on the ship is always very long and boring, I think we can
Let’s discuss this topic carefully…”
The cunning old man and the little fox pretending to be naive started a long nonsense while holding fragrant black coffee. Naturally, it was Zhu Bin who was talking and Ma Yier who was asking. In order to get more details, the general manager said a lot of things that seemed to be well-known.
The information greatly accelerated Zhu Bin's understanding of the entire strange world and era. Likewise, the logistics and transportation system closely related to containers he pulled out became more and more complex. When Ma Yier heard the last part, his head almost exploded.
"This is a huge, complete, and efficient system that contains huge global wealth, which is enough to create another Morgan empire. This business opportunity must not be missed." Mayer finally firmly convinced this matter.
, As for the authenticity of Zhu Bin’s identity, go to hell.
Ma Yier's Chinese assistant, Wang Kaishan, had been helping by the side, replenishing coffee and lighting cigars for them. His gentle and calm face full of bookishness concealed his state of mind that was constantly impacted and shocked by Zhu Bin's eloquent preaching.
In Shen Chang Foreign Company, Wang Kaishan is one of the higher-ranking Chinese employees. At the best time, his monthly income can be 600 yuan, but it is obviously four times lower than the 600 US dollars earned by American employees. Now the world is in the Great Depression.
, General Manager Ma Yier did not hesitate to cut it in half, but at this time he was still earning a high income, even comparable to the mayor.
As a rare talent with very high professional knowledge and accomplishments, Ma Yier valued him very much, otherwise he would not have taken him with him when he returned to the United States. But Wang Kaishan did not feel so glorious and proud. He knew very well that when necessary
When the time comes, this seemingly amiable Dane will lay off and fire everyone without hesitation.
In fact, this time Ma Yier originally planned to let him stay in the United States, but Wang Kaishan refused because he had another identity - an important member of the Shanghai People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Association. After the Japanese army invaded the three northeastern provinces on September 18 last year
, he participated in the training of the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army, and this time, the Japanese army wanted to provoke a war in Shanghai again. As the core backbone, it was his duty to rush back and go to the great cause of saving the country.
I just didn't expect to meet a strange Chinese in trouble like Zhu Bin. Originally, he just offered some help from the side based on the feeling that the Chinese people in the world are one compatriot, but now I listen to his eloquent spraying of new words that are familiar but profound and professional.
Knowledge, he made a decision in an instant, this young man must be included in the organization!
"Wang, you must take good care of Mr. Zhu's life. He will become the most important partner of our company." Ma Yier reluctantly let Zhu Bin go until he could no longer bear it, and seriously warned Wang Kaishan.
Wang Kaishan nodded solemnly and vigorously: "Please rest assured, I will do a good job." He turned to look at Zhu Bin with a smile, his eyes contained an unconcealable enthusiasm, which made Zhu Bin's hair stand on end and his anus tightened unconsciously.
