Chapter 65 Only Selling Luxury Goods

While using money to smash the great powers of various countries, Zhang Yunfei did not relax his pace of construction on the island.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei established the Oahu Industrial Group Company and chose a place near Pearl Harbor as an industrial area in Honolulu, which brought together the factories he was preparing to build. First, it was convenient for transportation and second, it was able to manage centrally. It mainly deals with various things that were simple to manufacture and easy to sell and make money. Zhang Yunfei didn't have the ability to do heavy industry, but it was still possible to do some light industrial products for daily life.

The main source of economics here when the export of sugar and coffee beans is here. For this reason, Zhang Yunfei centrally purchased all the sugar and coffee raw materials at high prices. In order to let these farmers sell everything to Zhang Yunfei, Zhang Yunfei greatly increased the export tax of raw materials and reduced the export tax of finished products! Forced farmers to sell them to Zhang Yunfei and no longer export raw materials to the outside world. Zhang Yunfei deeply processed these raw materials into sugar, brown sugar, rock sugar, and packaged them into various candies, sugar cubes, finished coffee and other luxury goods, and then sold them to various countries here at high prices.

The reason why merchants gave them was because Zhang Yunfei knew that he had robbed their raw materials and traded business, and now he changed it to better and more profitable industrial products. In this way, these merchants with money in their heads would no longer resent Zhang Yunfei. On the contrary, they would also thank Zhang Yunfei for bringing them more profitable business, because these things were liked by rich nobles from all over the world. At the same time, Zhang Yunfei also relied on these merchants to open up and expand overseas markets, and added a large number of employment opportunities on the island. This is a win-win situation.

However, Zhang Yunfei's big moves cannot have no negative impact! The first thing to be affected were the nobles of the major families on Oahu. In addition to the support of the great powers, Zhang Yunfei also had to cooperate with the local snakes here. This was also the fact that Zhang Yunfei did not care about Chen Fang's borrowing Zhang Yunfei to make money. When Chen Fang learned that Oahu fell into Zhang Yunfei's hands, he immediately showed his full support for Zhang Yunfei, from ordering the ammunition supply required by Zhang Yunfei's fleet in the United States to actively recruiting military and base construction workers for Zhang Yunfei, and equipped nearly 50,000 troops with all supplies except weapons, such as military uniforms, military caps, military shoes, etc., and also built an army base next to the Pearl Harbor base. It can be said that the 3 million pounds were almost returned to Zhang Yunfei. Zhang Yunfei also saw these.

At the same time, Chen Fang also introduced Zhang Yunfei to several other Chinese families on Oahu. There are the Huang family in Xiangshan, who are fellow townsmen, and they worked together with Chen Fang in Hawaii. The Zhao family in Guangzhou, four generations, have been engaged in sandalwood business, much earlier than the Chen family and the Huang family. The Wang family in Foshan, which is an authentic ancient family. It moved to Hawaii during the turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty. It once helped the kings of three countries establish a regime on Oahu. The authentic Hawaiian nobles operate various industries. I don’t know how much wealth they have. The Wang family has always been low-key and does not participate in political affairs. The industry is not only in Hawaii, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries.

Of course, Zhang Yunfei knew that such a family was much more powerful than those with superficial charm. In order to get the support of these families and stabilize his nest, Zhang Yunfei reluctantly sold 70% of the equity of the group's sugar cube factory and coffee factory to several companies, the Chen family and the Wang family and the Wang family, and the Huang family and the Zhao family. The other component was given to the ministers of various countries, and did not ask for any help from these ministers. As long as they did not interfere with Zhang Yunfei, and did not stumbling on Zhang Yunfei, they would be content.

!Of course, the Japanese minister Saburo Shinoda had to stare at him. Finally, he gave 10% of the merchants on Oahu. Only by sharing all the benefits equally can everyone maintain the greatest interests, because everyone will work hard for the shares in his hands! In the end, Zhang Yunfei himself was only 10%. Although he felt sorry, Zhang Yunfei knew that his current situation was just walking a tightrope. If he was not careful, he would fall into the abyss and be crushed to pieces.

‘The road is still long?’ Zhang Yunfei thought to himself, but he knew that when he became strong, these sheep should be raised fat. Then the amount of blood is not the final say for them! Besides, if you give them a hand, you might be able to collect more taxes?

There is always a reward for efforts. These families and foreign merchants quickly participated in the construction and development of sugar cube factories and coffee factories. In addition, the ministers from various countries helped to contact their friends, colleagues, and big merchants in their respective countries to promote them, which made these luxury goods in short supply abroad. Therefore, the factories increased machinery and equipment, expanded the scale, and expanded the market. In the end, even farmers on other islands sold their agricultural products here. In addition, the monopoly effect made the factory's efficiency exponentially increase.

Since the Queen went to Hawaii Island, all the other agencies, except for the embassies of various countries, had moved all the other agencies to Hawaii Island with the Queen, where the Queen formed her own regime. So Zhang Yunfei established a police department to maintain public order on Oahu Island. The director was Wang Ping, the eldest son of Wang Zhiguo, the head of the Wang family, and a legal department for handling disputes and crimes. The director was Zhao Shangzhi, the younger brother of Zhao Shangde, the head of the Zhao family, and a tax department was established. The director was Huang Chao, the third son of the Huang family, and the third son of the Huang family, and the establishment of the tax department.

A Finance Department, the director is Chen Fang's distant nephew Chen Xiaochun, and the four families control four major departments and restrict each other. At the same time, Zhang Yunfei arranged all the positions of deputy directors of each department to be in the Nanyang group, with the purpose of monitoring to prevent them from being ill-behaved. Finally, it is the army. Zhang Yunfei strictly followed Mao's theory of power coming out of power, and it is necessary to guarantee Zhang Yunfei's absolute control over the army. It is also a place that several forces cannot reach. Moreover, Zhang Yunfei also hinted that several companies were not allowed to enter the army.

There is no way. What Zhang Yunfei lacks the most now is talent, so he can only rely on them. I hope they can get on Zhang Yunfei's ship by themselves for the sake of interests. The heads of the four families naturally understand what Zhang Yunfei means, but it is too early to express their sincerity to Zhang Yunfei. After all, Zhang Yunfei has only been here for a few months, and Zhang Yunfei has a great ambition, so the few families are now working with Zhang Yunfei under the influence of interests, and have not yet achieved the bet!

Interestingly, Chen Fang seemed to be ready to completely turn to Zhang Yunfei, because during this period he kept expressing his willingness to marry Zhang Yunfei, and Zhang Yunfei always declined Chen Fang's kindness. However, Chen Fang saw Zhang Yunfei's intoxicated expression and was wrong, and she thought Zhang Yunfei could not ignore her face! But she didn't know that Zhang Yunfei was thinking about the pretty face of the two girls far away in Shanghai, and felt that they would be satisfied with their compensation, and she never thought about asking Chen Fang's daughter. However, after Chen Fang returned home, she sent a telegram to Chen Xiaolei, who was studying in the United States, asking her to come back for a blind date. As a result, a big farce was later led to, not mentioning it for now.

As various aristocratic families sent their own talents to help Zhang Yunfei manage Oahu, it relieved Zhang Yunfei a lot of pressure, giving Zhang Yunfei time to carry out other construction.

In fact, for people in the future developed world, it is not easy to make money, so Zhang Yunfei thought of some simple and uncomplicated ways to make money.

So many sugars in Hawaii can be used to make alcohol. The raw materials for fermentation of alcohol directly utilize the sugar in sucrose. After dilution and addition of some nutrient salts, it is fermented with the action of the mother of alcohol to produce alcohol. Not only is it simple, but all the raw materials are sufficient here. Moreover, alcohol has a huge effect in this era.

First of all, alcohol can be mixed into wine and sold directly, which is more profitable than selling raw materials directly. In addition, alcohol is the best thing for medical disinfection. In this era, most deaths in wars were not directly sacrificed on the battlefield, but were killed or disabled because they could not be disinfected in time and could not be cured after being injured. Various plagues, malaria and other bacterial virus infections in nature are also the causes of large-scale deaths in this era. Therefore, alcohol used for disinfection has become an important strategic material that countries attach importance to, mainly because alcohol is made by food, and also consumes the most important strategic material, so the importance and cost of alcohol are self-evident. Nowadays, Zhang Yunfei does not make a big profit, I am really sorry for him, a future person.

The rubber industry is followed closely by the alcohol factory, which is also the advantage of Hawaii. The word rubber comes from the Indian word cau-uchu, which means "the tearing tree". Natural rubber is made by the latex that flows out of the three-leaf rubber tree when it is cut into rubber and solidifies and drys. Using the juice of the rubber tree to create the tire shell can achieve a good shock absorption effect. Although this era has begun to exist such solid wheels wrapped in rubber, due to the high cost, it is rarely used, most of which are for

The shock absorption effect is also average when installed on a private luxury carriage. Zhang Yunfei directly made the wheels composed of rubber outer tires and inflatable inner tires, named Mercedes-Benz Wheels, and applied for patents from various countries. What's interesting is that Carl Benz, an engineer who invented the three-wheeled power car in Germany, has been seeking partners. When he discovered Zhang Yunfei's Mercedes-Benz, he immediately realized that his power car had new vitality, so he ran far away to Oahu Island in Hawaii and asked Zhang Yunfei to cooperate with him to build a new power car.

After seeing his design, Zhang Yunfei was very happy because he designed a four-wheeled motor vehicle two years in advance, which is the prototype of Hyundai Motor. This guy is amazing. In 1886, the three-wheeled motor vehicle invented by German engineer Karbenz obtained the German patent. (Patent No.: 37435a). The birth of this car not only marked the end of the "carriage era" and the beginning of the "car era", but also opened a new era of personal transportation. The car equipped with a small horizontal single-cylinder four-stroke gasoline engine, electric ignition, carburetor, water-cooled radiator, steering system and tube frame, even today, is enough to make us respect it. More importantly, since the birth of the first car, Karbenz has the spirit of adhering to unique innovation in cars, and the famous Mercedes-Benz era began from this time!

So Zhang Yunfei used his later knowledge of cars to talk to Carl Benz about the future direction of cars. After making him confused, Zhang Yunfei proposed to buy all his future design patents, and established a company for him to develop and manufacture cars on Oahu, giving him 30% of the profit, and he was only responsible for design. As a fanatical mechanical engineer, Carl Benz did not have so much energy to manage the company. Faced with Zhang Yunfei's high treatment, he agreed without hesitation. For this reason, Zhang Yunfei couldn't stop talking for several days and shouted: "Although I am obviously not strong enough, I have a big hammer of the God of Wealth, which will make anyone dizzy! It has the same effect! Wow! Haha!"
