In the following months, the steel plant was still in full swing, and a large amount of grain was transported one after another.

The first batch of grain was not sent to Sichuan, but was distributed to major grain stores run by the Qin family.

Qin Hancheng built a large granary in the concession of the Demon Capital. In addition, there are grain banks in more than a dozen cities including Hangzhou, Jinling, Anqing, Jiujiang, Changsha, Wuhan, etc. Each grain bank has an affiliated granary, which can accept thousands or even tens of tons of grain. So the several large ships transported here were quickly emptied.

Oceanwide ships from the United States to China are more than 20,000 tonnes, and at most they can only drive to Wusongkou. Due to channel restrictions, they must be replaced with 5,000-ton or even 1,500-ton boats.

In order to further strengthen shipping, Qin Di injected three million US dollars into the Magic City Steamship Merchants Corporation, equivalent to nine million oceans, and purchased some small and medium-sized merchant ships, specifically responsible for the transfer of its own materials on the Yangtze River route.

In 1930, an ounce of silver could only be exchanged for $0.3. Although it was far less than before, it had not yet fallen to its limit. By the cheapest time in 1932, an ounce of silver could only be exchanged for $0.22. Half a century later, in 1980, the price of an ounce of silver was $50, which shows that the price of silver fluctuated violently.

On June 6 of this year, Zhang Naijing and Qin Ling came to the Qin family with their children.

Their son is named "Zhang Shaoqing", and he is only a few months old; his daughter Zhang Yiran is already three years old, and it is just when he is clingy. When she arrived at the Qin family, she hugged Qin Di's legs and wanted to hear her uncle tell stories. She went to the United States with her parents and Qin Di, and listened to Qin Di's stories during a long sea trip, so she always missed them.

Sometimes Qin Di also felt it was a pity, because except for himself, the rest of the Qin family had no spiritual roots, and he couldn't even teach Zhang Yiran to cultivate immortality.

"Oh! The Qin family has no successor!"

Zhang Naijing looked very excited, and seemed to have been very comfortable in recent days.

His uncle Zhang Jinjiang was the chairman of Zhejiang Province for two years and is now the chairman of the Construction Committee of the Republic of China. He presided over industrial and mining construction, railway renovation, etc. The Zhang family rose as the waters rose, and all the seven brothers made a fortune.

Although Zhang Naijing is a junior, he controls two companies with a capital of nearly 20 million. Of course, half of them were given by Qin Di. With this, he was so kind to see Qin Di.

He used to accompany him to the United States for a while and knew that Qin Di had sold his stocks that he had held for eight years and made $50 million. He didn't know that he later shorted and made $200 million.

Every time he comes to the Qin family, he doesn't dare to play chess with Qin Di anymore, because it's equivalent to seeking abuse, and he is not a masochist.

Zhang Naijing slowly drank tea and chatted with Qin Di who was holding Zhang Yiran.

"I heard you are planning to build a steel plant? You are also planning to build the factory to western Sichuan? What do you think?"

Qin Di smiled and said, "What do you think about this? Just build it."

Zhang Naijing raised his eyebrows, his eyebrows were long and slightly bent downward.

"Why should it be built in western Sichuan? I think the best location should be in Pudong! With the ocean, you can import iron ore from abroad! Let me tell you that most of the ores in China are poor ore, and the iron powder abroad has high purity! High steelmaking efficiency! You build a steel plant on the beach, with cheap land prices and convenient transportation, people and money, which is much better than remote places like western Sichuan."

Qin Di narrowed his eyes and said, "If one day, the Japanese army will invade China, from Northeast China, Qingdao, Wusongkou, Hangzhou Bay and Guangzhou, and attack from multiple routes, what will you think the ending will occur?"

Zhang Naijing took a breath, was stunned for a while, and said, "Is the little Japanese so bold? China is so big, it wants to swallow the whole thing, how is this possible? People are not satisfied with swallowing the elephant, isn't it afraid of suffocating itself to death?"

"Don't worry if it's possible! I ask you, if such a situation happens, can the demons be saved?"

"Then build it in the concession! The Japanese can't break into the concession!"

"The steel mill is too large to be built in the concession. Besides, the concession is not safe. If the Japanese army wants to come in, they can still come in."

"Then they must be crazy! Are you afraid that Britain and the United States will join forces to retaliate?"

"The economic crisis that began last year has swept across Europe and the United States! Britain and the United States have no time to take care of themselves, so where can they manage the concession in the Magic City?"

"Did you plan to build factories and granaries in Sichuan because of this?"

"Yes, this is mainly the reason."

"I think you're worried about it too much."

Qin Di took a plum, stuffed it into the little girl's mouth, and said, "Stop talking about me, talk about yourself, in addition to Kaiyuan Electrical Appliance Factory, I heard that you have also established a 'Kaiyuan Sewing Machine Factory'. Has it been put into production?"

Zhang Naijing smiled bitterly: "The technology I introduced from the American Shengjia Company is being digested and absorbed. The sewing machine I just produced has defects, mainly because domestic steel is not good. Alas, it is really a headache to talk about this. Without good steel, not only can we not make firearms, but even sewing machines are difficult to make. We have to import parts from the United States. What do you think is different from assembly?"

Qin Di said: "When my steel plant is built, you will get the good steel."

"That's at least two years, right?"

"This kind of thing is not urgent."

"Why aren't you anxious? Life is short, you're thirty! As the saying goes, sixty is a long life, and you're halfway through your life and you're not getting married yet! What do you want to do?"

"Hehe, I am a long-lived person and can live at least two hundred years old."

"Ha! Le Yi, tell me, is my uncle talking nonsense?"

Zhang Leyi lay comfortably in Qin Di's arms, smelling a pleasant scent in her nose, and said, "Uncle, have you sprinkled perfume on you? Why is it so good?"

Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "When it comes to fragrance, I will tell you a story. A long time ago, there was a Hui leader somewhere in Xinjiang who had two daughters, both of whom were very beautiful. The younger daughter was especially bright, her eyes were as bright as stars, her long hair was as dark as the night, and her body was fragrant, elegant and quiet, and sweet. People called her "Princess Xiangxiang"..."

Zhang Leyi widened her black eyes and turned her gurglingly, obviously very interested in this story.

Qin Di excerpted a passage from "The Book and Sword" to tell her. After a while, not only Zhang Leyi was immersed in the spirit, but even Zhang Naijing was a little stunned. Qin Ling, Qin Yue and Yan Xue also came over to listen to him tell the story.

"When it comes to Chen Jialuo, the leader of the Red Flower Society, is full of heroes and martial arts... by chance, I saw a pair of white jade bottles with a beautiful woman depicting an extremely beautiful and radiant person, autumn waves and cherry mouths are about to move... Later, he met a real person in Xinjiang. The girl was extremely bright and beautiful... Later, Princess Xiangxiang was snatched away by Emperor Qianlong and named her Xiangfei Concubine... Chen Jialuo was angry and single-handedly rushed into the Forbidden City and rescued Princess Xiangxiang. In the end, the two wandered around the world and lived in seclusion at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains..."

Because he is telling stories to children, he cannot say that Princess Xiangxiang committed suicide, as it would leave a shadow in her young heart.

Thank you for the reward of rg1969. Don’t think that the number of words is small. Each chapter is 2,000 words. Let’s wait. Now only a particularly good book can be ranked as the Sanjiang recommendation position. It is either a master or a new author. A middle-level author like me can only wait for two or three weeks at most. Regardless of whether there are Sanjiang and strong recommendations, it will be on the shelves for about 300,000 words, and then it will be updated for a few days.
Chapter completed!
