At the end of a math class, Cow Shit paid homage respectfully and left.
Return home.
My parents are waiting in the living room.
Being summoned by our Lord is a huge event. Even if I am climbing a mountain now, when facing my Lord, in addition to awe and praise, I feel great fear in my heart.
They were the first to witness the coming of the true God, and they also witnessed the coming of the true God's wrath several times from our Lord.
The most unforgettable thing is naturally the sacrifice of the snow girl.
Being wiped out of the world out of thin air, and then returning intact after more than two months, this is a terrifying power that can change life and death for them.
Of course, my Lord is merciful.
Nowadays, the 30,000 people of the Balance are happy and happy, and no one is miserable. Even the old people who are suffering from old diseases, even if their bodies are tired and aching, they still smile all day long.
As soon as Niu Shi entered the door, he was startled when he saw his parents in the shadows: "Father, mother, why haven't you rested yet?"
Shan Shan opened his mouth, but his wife's voice floated out first: "What did my Lord call you to do? Have you seen a witch?"
"Sister and I... we see shamans every day. The shamans are very good. They are being taught more profound knowledge by me."
Shanshan said: "What about you? What did you do?"
Niu Shi suddenly became proud: "Father, mother, my Lord passed down another profound law and asked me to practice it. I learned it quickly, and my Lord praised me!"
Climbing the mountain and his wife looked at each other, stood up almost at the same time, walked to the spiritual altar in the house in tacit understanding, and kowtowed and praised the "statue of my Lord Kinkou".
After the worship was over, he climbed the mountain and asked, "What kind of profound law is it?"
Niu Shi said: "My Lord said, it is called mathematics; if I can master this law, I can go out with my father, and then the glory of balance will sweep across the earth and make great contributions."
The hiking couple gasped...
A series of stories have begun to appear in my mind.
If you can go out with the army and make great achievements, wouldn’t that be the power of gods?!
Mathematics...they keep the name of this law in mind.
…
the following few days.
Zhou Li'an taught Mathematics to Niu Shi, starting from the basics, giving him a large number of exercises every day, and taking him on a trip to measure, so that he could apply what he learned.
For the current equilibrium, mathematics can only help in counting, weighing and craftsman use, but it is still early to popularize it on a large scale.
Therefore, language education is actually the most important.
When the literacy rate improves and an [academic center] is built in the future, the systematically summarized knowledge can be self-study.
However, in order to consider going on an expedition, Niu Shi's mathematics learning has great uses. It depends on whether he can master it to a certain level before setting off.
November 20th.
Zhou Li'an left the new mathematics test paper and the preview questions for the next lesson early in the morning, then returned to the present world and set off for Juarez.
The tool factory, grain processing factory and wood carving factory were all purchased.
On this trip for inspection, it was natural to send this month's bison hides. In addition, the three months' experience was summarized into an outline, and Jonah had new information to write, which enriched the "Bible of Balance".
As for the mathematics textbook, it was all compiled by Zhou Li'an himself; there are not many allusions and references involved in mathematics, it is all numbers and formulas, so it is very simple.
I also taught them basic numbers and simple addition earlier, so their learning progress these days is quite gratifying.
Like his sister Yuki-onna, he has an extremely smart mind.
Juarez.
Zhou Li'an came without warning, just to rent a container in the processing zone, and then took more than a dozen trucks to the tannery factory before calling Lao Wang.
Meet at the factory.
Lao Wang was shocked when he saw more than a dozen trucks of containers.
"40,000 pieces of cowhide? Hiss..." He gasped, but then thought, "Oh, yes, we haven't delivered the goods for three months, but this amount is really amazing."
Arrange for manual transportation into cold storage for storage.
The two went to the office to reconcile the accounts.
The price of bison hides has plummeted for months, and is now quoted at US$2,000 per piece. This is all expected.
Fortunately, the amount was huge this time, and Lao Wang's investment has already been repaid, and all the rest is a net profit.
Income of 35 million in three months is still substantial.
Excluding the cost of acquiring three factories, Zhou Li'an's assets exceeded 70 million after accounting.
Wang Defa was a little dissatisfied and suggested: "Zhou Sheng, the leather company has lowered the price and there is nothing we can do in the buyer's market. How about we also start a leather goods company? Start from a small brand. The leather is of good quality and there is a market."
Zhou Li'an looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, "You don't have to ask me what you want to do. You know, I'm just a wage earner. As long as the fur income comes in every month, I don't care if you sell it to other companies or collect it yourself."
goods manufacturing.”
"But if something goes wrong, it's your responsibility."
As long as the source of bison leather is normal, Zhou Li'an doesn't know how to increase profits? Instead, leather companies continue to lower the price.
The problem is that the origin of these furs cannot be traced, and after the number of listings expands, the rare attribute disappears, and it only belongs to a category in the cowhide category, and the value will inevitably fall.
start a company?
If Lao Wang can withstand the pressure of being fired, Zhou Li'an will be happy to see that he can offer him a high price.
However, when it came to this, Wang Defa immediately withered.
Are you joking?
He did not dare to take such a big risk, and he also knew that the origin of the fur was unknown, so his plan was to test the power behind Zhou Sheng to see if he had any ideas to develop into an industrial chain.
But now, Zhou Li'an's attitude is very clear.
"Ha, Zhou Sheng, I just mentioned casually, in fact, I make enough money now."
Zhou Li'an joked, "Haha, Lao Wang, I just like the way you can bend and stretch. Only in this way can you make a fortune safely."
Lao Wang followed closely: "Of course. As men, we must be able to grow both long and short, hahaha."
After laughing, no one took the discussion just now seriously.
Zhou Li'an also mentioned that he wanted to buy a cotton garment factory. Lao Wang didn't bother to ask why, so he started contacting him after the sale was made.
Winter is coming, and 30,000 people need to prepare warm clothing and bedding.
And when it comes to the acceleration of the next time, the necessary material reserves must be fully prepared for them.
They could also make their own clothes with furs and a small amount of hand-woven fabrics, but it was time-consuming and laborious. If they had more time, they might as well go down the river to make money, give birth to more people and learn the language.
Purchasing a factory is an investment with unlimited benefits. Producing and selling your own products is far more cost-effective than placing orders with merchants.
In the afternoon, Lao Wang took Zhou Li'an to inspect three factories. Each factory had its original production orders, but now it was just a change of owner. How should they operate? Everything remains the same.
"Now we just need a professional manager to help you manage it, Zhou Sheng, I'm too busy."
Now that Lao Wang is old, it is not realistic to run four factories at once.
After recruiting professional managers, the two can also supervise and balance each other.
Zhou Li'an nodded and decided to contact a professional agency to recruit people.
night.
The two had dinner with David Liang, and after the meal they went to the karaoke bar to sing, mainly to connect with each other.
Lao Wang held up the microphone and sang several old Cantonese songs. She also held a dancer about the same age as her little daughter in her arms, clinking glasses from time to time, and laughing and joking.
David Liang said seriously: "Brother Fa is still very young and very energetic."
Zhou Li'an nodded: "The main thing is to do charity and create jobs."
"Hahaha." David Liang was amused, and then he naturally talked about gold.
"It is difficult to find a mine, mainly because it is difficult to obtain qualification approval. Unless it is an investment from a large mining group, the officials cannot trust us."
"If you cooperate directly with gang forces... you will have to hide under water all the time, and the sovereignty will be controlled in their hands, which is not good for long-term cooperation. These gang forces will fall out at any time."
Zhou Li'an is not afraid of falling out, the goods are in my hands, and the mining area is just a cover; but the purpose of setting up this shelf with David Liang is to let the gold be washed ashore instead of hiding it underwater.
Making money is only one of them, the more important thing is to connect with people from all walks of life in Mexico.
"There is no need to rush a good project, why don't you think of a solution?"
David Liang nodded: "I'm just afraid that Mr. Zhou will be too anxious, so I'll explain it to you."
After the fun, Lao Wang and Zhou Li'an returned to the residence of Jonah and his daughter.
Recently, he doesn't stay in hotels anymore. He simply stays here for a long time, which makes it seem lively. Although it is a wealthy area, the surrounding neighbors do not interact with each other like American communities, unless they are acquaintances.
Therefore, Jonah and his daughter have always been safe.
The gold mine has not yet been completed, so Zhou Li'an is not in a hurry to let his father and daughter appear in public, and will have a happy birthday in a few days first.
The next day, deliver the outline.
Zhou Li'an withdrew.
Patricia has a withdrawn personality and doesn't like to ask too many questions; Luke Jonah doesn't dare to ask too many questions, and his view of the world is still trembling and has not yet calmed down.
Lao Wang has long been accustomed to letting go of the shopkeeper.
Not to mention that with so much bison skin shipped every month, Zhou Li'an also had to contact the source of the goods, so he couldn't have much time off.
Wang Defa sent him to the airport, and when he picked up the ticket, he was still surprised: "Flying to San Francisco?"
"Meet Lawyer Lu."
"Oh, please do your voice for me. Mr. Lu is quite good."
Lawyer Lu was responsible for the registration of offshore companies, and he accompanied Lao Wang on a trip to Bermuda; however, he was too busy for the past six months, and Zhou Li'an did not have much contact with him. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would send a few greetings on WeChat during the holidays.
Now I'm here to visit you. Zhou Li'an has something to ask for.
But this is how it is among adults.
It is no longer the case of three or two people chasing each other across the mountains and plains in the afternoon when they were children, and kowtowing and swearing that they are one and the same two brothers; when they grow up, they go their separate ways, and except for the occasional meeting during the holidays, they are just acquaintances in the circle of friends.
Only relationships of interest and colleagues can maintain relationships; of course there is an exception, the relationship of lovers.
You are lucky enough to meet someone who will accompany you to the grave in this life.
Unlucky, just like Zhou Li'an, she went to the police station to bail out and get divorced; she still owed money and refused to pay it back, so in the end she had to file a lawsuit to teach her how to be a good person.
Oakland Airport, San Francisco East Bay.
Across the sea from San Francisco.
Lawyer Lu personally came to pick him up, and Zhou Li'an was flattered; when they met, they gave him an American hug. Everyone was used to Westerners' superficially warm way of getting along with each other.
But as soon as I took a sip of Chinese quintessence, I suddenly felt close to you: "Damn! I kept saying that I would come, but I didn't see you. A few months ago, I drank too much and I could even send you a WeChat voice chat; but then you just stopped answering.
Already?"
"Okay, I won't recognize my relatives when I get rich."
"I'm busy." Zhou Li'an admitted with a smile, "I'll treat you tonight, and I'll accompany you as much as you want to drink!"
The two got into the car, and Lawyer Lu asked very measuredly: "I originally wanted to ask a few old classmates to form a game together, but it's up to you to decide how many days to stay?"
"Two or three days, it'll be lively just for us. Besides... I have something to ask for this time. I want to find a professional manager in the factory manufacturing industry. Do you have a suitable intermediary who can help introduce me to it?"
While driving, Lawyer Lu asked strangely: "Did you break up with that old Chinese man?"
"No problem, we have opened three new factories and we are very busy."
Lawyer Lu's body trembled, and he immediately began to curse, "Fuck!! Are you really lucky? I don't think you've won a big prize in Powerball recently!"
Spent two days in San Francisco.
Through Lawyer Lu, I did several interviews with professional managers, and finally settled on a woman... Don’t think too much, she is a 47-year-old obese black aunt, a modern fried food lover, one buttock is as big as two normal people.
With such a well-balanced body shape, regardless of her dark complexion, she is definitely the kind of person who will bring disaster to the country and cause disaster to the people. Countless men, young and old, would go to pieces for her.
19 years of professional manager in factory manufacturing industry.
It was supposed to be the age of financial freedom and preparation for retirement. Who would have thought that my son was so good that he was admitted to one of the four major art academies in the world and went to Paris to double major in oil painting and sculpture...
What can I do? Save up money to buy clay and watercolor paints for my son.
In addition, this person is proficient in Spanish and his hometown is Mexico. He finally worked hard to get to the United States. Who would have thought that he would now settle in Juarez for a long time.
When it came to Juarez, she didn't resist much.
First of all, wages are paid, and secondly, the managers of the processing industry are not seeking death on their own to clean up the Juárez Processing Zone. Sin City is not that scary.
On the third day, after saying goodbye to Lao Lu, Zhou Li'an bought two first-class tickets and sent them directly to Juarez for the black aunt to meet Wang Defa and hand over the work.
I flew to Texas to buy horses.
With 70 million in hand, it makes no sense not to expand the number of horses.
I can't go back to Montana, lest the movement is too loud and attract attention; I have said goodbye to the Stone family before, and I am just waiting for the lease of the old mute's horse farm to expire so that we can get together and part ways.
Zhou Li'an contacted a horse farm online, rented a small ranch again, and started hiring people to transport the horses.
Now that the horse market has been figured out, the price for horses under two years old is 1,500, and a total of 4,000 horses are requested.
6 million to buy horses, 40 million to invest in the tribe, and more than 20 million in working capital on hand just in case.
It took a week to check the horses for epidemic prevention, and then moved to the rental horse farm, choosing a dark and windy night.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
All 4,000 horses are included in the system.
The next day, Zhou Li'an retired and returned to Oregon; the rented horse farm was just left idle, and he didn't need the little money of a hundred thousand.
In the future, time will accelerate, and 8,000 horses will be more than enough for the origin of the species, and there will be no need to continue to purchase more horses in the future.
Equilibrium 1 year, December.
Temperatures plummet in California.
It was night. The professional manager who had been employed for a week had to obey Zhou Li'an's instructions and only contact and make phone calls at night.
Her name is interesting, "Barbara?"
"Boss, there is news about the cotton garment factory. It is a brand OEM factory with complete equipment and personnel. It is in good operating condition. The package price is 22 million. It comes with a 3-year long-term order contract. I estimate that the money can be repaid within 10 years. It depends on you now.
Decide."
Zhou Li'an didn't care about this amount of money for a long time. He just saved more than 20 million and put it to good use. The extra money was transferred to several factories as operating funds.
"That's it. After the procedure is changed, the factory will be arranged to rush to produce a batch of winter ready-made clothes, including jackets, upper and lower clothes, gloves and socks; suit design, sizes will be uniformly produced in large sizes, regardless of aesthetics, and will be subject to wear resistance and practicality.
, I want 60,000 sets.”
After listening to the sound of typing on the keyboard on the phone, Barbara said neatly: "Roger, boss; I will send the first version of the costume design to your email. Do you have anything else?"
Zhou Li'an felt extremely comfortable because of her ability, "Thank you, Barbara."
"Haha, this is my job, so I won't disturb your rest. Good night?"
