Another captain came over. He also came to the port to collect supplies.
He took out a tin jug from his pocket and said, "Try this. The Xia people who just moved here gave it to me. They said that men should drink this."
One bite.
Just one bite, and Andre felt numb from the sweetness.
"Xia, what are the people of Xia doing?"
"Well, we're building a shed, and they said they're going to plant vegetables."
Andrei laughed: "Vadjim, you are telling a joke, or the people of Xia are crazy. The winter here is dozens of degrees below zero, how can you grow vegetables? It's impossible."
Just as he was talking, Andre's men had already found the pickles.
Andre pulled the knife from his leg and stabbed the can.
"You..., open it like this." Vajim grabbed the jar. There was a buckle on it. When he pulled it open hard, the top lid was lifted, and then the whole piece was torn off.
Andre took out a cucumber with his fingers: "In winter, this is enough. Oh, this pickled cucumber from the Xia people is really good."
"And ham, kangaroo meat ham."
"Who, find me one and bring it over."
Someone ran over, holding a machine: "Captain, what is this?"
"Oh, there is this." Andrei was very happy: "Vadjim, do you know this?"
"Well, I don't know."
Andre held up the machine: "This, I saw it when I was in Xiongdu during my last vacation. This is called the Fat House Water Drinking Machine. As long as it is installed, there will be a continuous flow of Fat House Water. Wait a minute, who knows?
The ice machine is there."
"Do you need ice?" Vajim pointed to the surroundings. At this temperature, ice is still needed.
Everyone was very happy, busy receiving supplies and playing with new machines.
The two captains, Andrei and Vadim, clinked their bottles and took a bite of the pickle.
"Andre, what do you mean by that?"
"Why do you care so much? I met the Xia man who rented this port once. Last time I transported things for him from the north, and he was accompanied by all the big shots from above. Now, is our food better?
If he invests here and opens a factory, whether he wants to repair oil depots or gas tanks, it is not a bad thing for us."
"That's right."
The two captains didn't say anything. The bosses of these islands were fully cooperating. They were just captains.
Just follow the instructions.
However, the arrival of the Xia people still brought many novelties.
For example, they planned to grow vegetables in this land of ice and snow. This was outrageous and attracted many people to watch.
Another day passed and a ship came.
This time it was coal.
The Xia people began to build a new heating station, which not only provides heat to vegetable greenhouses, but also renovates residential areas and provides heating to some office areas in the port.
In some places where it is inconvenient to connect heating pipes, small boilers began to be built.
The Mao Xiong people said that they are good at central heating. They did not build it before because they had no money, so they only used iron pots or fireplaces in the house.
Since the Xia people provided money and raw materials, they were willing to contribute their efforts.
There is plenty of coal.
It was shipped from Silia, but the sea in the north is frozen now, so Bai Hao bought the coal from Perth, which is cheap, quite cheap.
Bai Hao rented Binghuo Port and Jiaolong Port.
It also comes with a large area, which is no man's land.
Bai Hao transported a large amount of supplies and distributed them to the people in Mao Xionghai. A technician provided interesting news. There was a mining area in the no-man's land rented by Bai Hao.
I discovered it very early, but because I didn’t have the funds, I never started doing it.
rhenium.
Metal rhenium.
Bai Hao made a special call to Mr. Yan.
"Old Yan, Mao Xiong's people on Binghuo Island gave me a gift. I asked Yuri about it, and he said I can dig whatever I want there, even if it's not the place I rented. The four islands are connected to the sea.
You can dig whatever you want, you just need to dig it out and give them a share."
"What is it?"
"Metal rhenium, look at your mailbox. This is the information provided by the people at Mao Xiong. They told me that this thing is very precious, but it is very difficult to mine. It is also very difficult to separate it from the associated ore.
"
Mr. Yan walked to his computer.
He was afraid that he would not be able to figure it out, so he also called He Qiufeng from the Materials Research Institute.
He Qiufeng sat down and read the information in detail: "Mr. Yan, adding rhenium to nickel alloy can increase the creep strength and is mostly used in high-temperature injection engines. This is one of the materials that the beautiful country has banned from us. Rumor has it that the beautiful country
This material is used in the War Princess engine."
"Precious?"
"One gram costs at least one hundred dollars."
"You go, pick the right person, and go in person." Mr. Yan felt that this matter was very important.
He Qiufeng took another look at the information: "Old Yan, our Xia Kingdom has not discovered this kind of mine yet. We don't have enough experience, but according to this information, after purification, there are about dozens of tons of reserves, so it is worth going there.
.I am not enough, you can ask Charcot for help, I will go there, but I am not a professional in this area."
Mr. Yan picked up the phone: "Xiao Bai, hang up first. This thing is very important. Let us study it."
"good."
Factory 9 has more professional ones.
Among the consultants, Keyu is an expert in metal materials, but he is not an expert in mining.
After He Qiufeng found him, Ke Yu also read the information carefully, agreed that he must seek help from Xia Ke, and then quietly went over to take a look.
Once it's suitable, dig in quickly.
There is no need to process it locally. You can dig the ore and find a place to refine it in Xia Kingdom.
When the time comes, just share the stuffed bears.
Let’s talk about Bai Hao’s side.
One day later, Bai Hao originally wanted to ask the factory how the prospecting incident went.
It was bad news, but it didn't mean anything. It was just that Heixu was so angry that Bai Hao was no longer in any mood due to the noise.
The black cat is coming.
With this bad news, very formally.
"Wado increased the tariff on white goods by 30%. The reason is that their home appliance companies have to pay environmental protection and waste home appliance disposal fees, but ours does not."
After Heixu finished speaking, he took out a form: "This is what I calculated. If we follow the new method of Wodao, our prices will no longer be competitive, and all the profits will be taken away by the customs of Wodao."
At this time, Bai Hao's phone rang.
Bai Hao picked up the phone: "Jessica, at this time, it's late at night in your beautiful country."
"Bai, I just became the vice president of marketing of Global Electrical Appliances, and Wadao gave me this trick. Let me tell you, this is unfair trade protection. What do you think?"
Bai Hao held the phone and thought for half a minute: "Jessica, give me some time to think of a solution. Also, don't rush to conclusions. Sometimes when something happens, it may not be a bad thing. Maybe
It's just an opportunity for a good thing, so please calm down, I know you are in a very bad mood."
Jessica was still very angry: "Bai, teach them a lesson. If there is no result in three months, we will use extraordinary measures."
