"The scope is mainly in the Indochina Peninsula. It includes places like Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia." Wang Kai gave a general introduction to the planned scope of the inspection. "It currently does not involve Indonesia and the Philippines."
"Where's the inspection time?"
"The whole process takes about half a year."
"Well." Lin Hanlong didn't speak, seeming to be thinking about something. Wang Kai quickly added: "This expedition ship is a newly built special ship, and a very competent captain Li Huamei was selected. This will make life more convenient.
"
"Actually, that's not what I was thinking about." Lin Hanlong said, "Sonia has gone out several times with the exploration team of the Exploration Department. I can trust the Senate's arrangements in this regard. The main problem is that her child is still young.
, it will only be nine months next week..."
"We are not going to set off right away. If everything is ready, it will probably take one to two months." Wang Kai felt nervous. This was indeed something that was impossible to explain. He wanted to add something: "The inspection is very important."
Things like that, but no matter how important it is, it is not as important as your own children. It is too unconvincing to say these things.
If in the old time and space, if I were an administrative leader, I could "make a wish" and talk about promotions, job titles, salary increases, shares, etc. What is there to talk about here? Lin
Hanlon is not surprised either.
After much thought, Wang Kai decided to impress Lin Hanlong with "making contributions".
"Old Lin, I know this invitation is somewhat unkind. However, this is the Senate's first comprehensive and systematic inspection of the Indo-China Peninsula. Its significance is similar to that of the first voyage around the island. It is not just our Nanyang Company's business. Scientific
The significance, historical significance, political significance...anyway, they are all very important and will definitely be recorded in the annals of history."
The more Wang Kai talked, the more he felt guilty and felt that he could no longer continue making up the story.
Lin Hanlong thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. This matter is of great significance to Sonia. But there are indeed difficulties now." He suddenly remembered something, "Have you ever mentioned this matter to her?"
"No, no." Wang Kai quickly shook his head, "I think I should seek your opinion first on this matter."
"I have to seek Sonia's opinion. This matter is a big deal for our family. We need to discuss it..."
"If you have difficulties with childcare or housework, our company can provide corresponding human or financial help..."
"I need your help!" Lin Hanlong said with a smile, "If I have any difficulties, I can just go to the general office!"
"Yes, I just want to express my sincerity."
"I see your sincerity." Lin Hanlong said, "I will give you an answer the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"
Wang Kai immediately said "no problem" and "fully respects their opinions." After coming out of the optical factory, Wang Kai felt that he was sixty-seven percent sure about this matter. He now somewhat understood Lin Hanlong's mentality: Is he
He will deny his woman the crown of success.
Think about it, one of the founders of the field of natural history, the person in charge of the natural history expedition to Southeast Asia, these titles are not just for a while, but will be recorded in history. How many naturalized citizens can have such an opportunity? Lao Lin
As long as she is not confused, he will support her. He will definitely find a way to overcome the child's matter...
Next is my ship... He thought, after finishing Sonia, I have to go to Hong Kong.
Wu Yijun opened Chen Lin's letter and read it briefly with a complicated expression on his face. He put the letter down and asked, "Where is the person who sent the letter?"
"Waiting in the concierge," the housekeeper reported, "it's Master Lin's follower Qing'er."
"Take him to the guest room, let him take a bath, change into clean clothes - and prepare some good food for him to eat. After he is full, bring him over to see me."
The housekeeper left in response. Wu Yijun picked up the letter and read it carefully again, pondering the situation in the letter.
From the letter, it seems that Chen Lin has climbed into the lap of an Australian - which is a wonderful thing. Although he can see Australians all the time in Guangzhou, it is obviously not "close". His nephew can become an Australian.
The "assistant" around him shows that Australians have great trust in him.
Wu Yijun knew that as long as he got the favor of the Australians, no matter what business he was doing, it would be easy. He never thought that his nephew would have such a way to make Australian women happy! At first, he thought he was an honest and responsible boy, but he didn't expect that Huahuachangzi would also
Quite a few! What a terrifying young person!
The Australian woman was planning to engage in sericulture in Nansha. Her nephew could not leave for a while and could not cooperate with her on cotton spinning. However, he said that he was still interested in this matter and would continue to do it.
But the letter did not say how to do it specifically. Wu Yijun understood after thinking about it. If it was important, he probably had to convey it verbally - otherwise, what would he do if he specially sent his confidant to deliver the letter?
Just as I was thinking about what to ask, the housekeeper came again, holding a large envelope in his hand.
"What's up?"
"Just now, the Federation sent someone to deliver an important official document..."
Wu Yijun quickly took it, opened it, and pulled out the official letter inside. It turned out that the Guangzhou Municipal Government and the Guangzhou Federation of Industry and Commerce would hold a "Patent Licensing Conference" at Zhenhai Building on January 15, and members were invited to attend. The notice also stated that this conference
It is held for two days in total. The first day is exclusively for members of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and the second day is open to all members who have the ability to pay a deposit.
This matter had already been announced at the New Year's Day group meeting, so Wu Yijun was not too surprised. He flipped through it casually, and there was a thick appendix at the back, which was all about the introduction of the items participating in the auction and the approximate starting prices.
The starting prices for this auction are very different. You can do it with just a few dozen silver dollars, while others need 20,000 yuan. The overall licensing fee for the cotton textile project that Wu Yijun is interested in is as high as 20,000 yuan.
Of course, twenty thousand silver dollars is not a problem for him, and it is not a problem for many colleagues in Guangzhou. If he can get the authorization, spending tens of thousands more is not a problem. The factory can make a lot of money, Wu Yijun and Guangzhou
Many wealthy people in the city have seen it very clearly: isn't the walnut pastry factory proof? Let alone the Australians' own factories.
However, if he really wants to win this project, the follow-up investment will also be a large amount. It is estimated that it can't be done with about sixty or seventy thousand taels of silver. It is obvious that he cannot do it alone.
As for Chen Lin, what he originally counted on was his knowledge. The Chen family was an old-school farming and studying family with lots of land but little money. He had to find a few partners.
Wu Yijun was thinking silently in his mind. Originally, he planned to find someone who had close contacts with Australians as a partner. He would naturally not be able to reach such a high level as Gao Ji and the "Walnut Cake" family, but there were also many people in Guangzhou who had contacts with Zi Ji.
Closely, there is one family that he is particularly optimistic about, and that is the Dong family.
The Dong family is a hereditary military attache from a local military household in Guangzhou. The head of the family and the eldest son are still on duty in the mainland, but the entire Dong family lives in Guangzhou. The young master of this family, Dong Jizhong, was said to have "made meritorious services" because he had a good relationship with Guo Yi.
They escaped during the cleaning of military households. Not only were people and animals safe, but their property was also not affected.
The Dong family was also very knowledgeable and "donated" their mansion in the city and their property to the Australians. The family moved to a villa outside Dongguan to live leisurely. They lived in simplicity and seldom went out.
His family has been officials in Guangzhou for generations, and the wealth accumulated in his family is at least three to five million taels. A few days ago, the Australians launched a bond issuance by the Nanyang Company, and the Dong family bought bonds worth ten thousand taels in one go.
The Dong family has always had money in his "cabinet" in the past, and the exchanges between the two families can be considered "deep". If he can get his family to join him, he will not only solve the problem of funds, but also build a "bridge" to the Australians.
”.
Just as he was thinking about it, the housekeeper came over with Chen Qing. Chen Qing came up and kowtowed first. Wu Yijun nodded silently and asked the housekeeper to bring a futon for him to sit on.
"I don't dare, little one." Chen Qing couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"You're welcome. Although you have a low status, you are still a member of the Chen family. You can afford to sit on this futon!"
Chen Qing thanked her hurriedly and sat down carefully.
"I have read the letter. I also roughly know what Lin'er wants to tell me. But there is something else in it that I want to ask."
"Yes, sir."
"Did Lin'er tell you anything he wanted you to bring?"
"No." Chen Qing shook his head and said, "But I said: I can say whatever I ask. He said that I know everything about him in Nansha, and I can ask whatever I want."
"Please tell me what happened after you returned to Nansha. Be more careful."
"Yes." Although Chen Qing didn't know the reason, since Chen Lin had given the order, there was no need to hide it. He immediately explained everything that happened after returning to Nansha.
Wu Yijun nodded secretly after hearing this, so that's what happened! It seems that this matter is much more complicated than he imagined. If Chen Lin can't find a way to eradicate the "second uncle", I'm afraid the cotton spinning matter won't be able to be solved! No wonder he
He said that the cotton spinning matter could only be postponed, and he would go all out to improve sericulture - otherwise, how could he be favored in front of female Australians?
This kid really knows his priorities. Wu Yijun thought to himself that he was indeed right, he is a talented person in the business of hair growth!
But in a few days, he will go to participate in the patent auction. Once won, the entire cotton spinning mill project will start to operate. He knows nothing about textiles. Although the Australians will send people to guide them, it is only technical.
To run a hair growth business, you need someone like Chen Lin - he won't be able to come for a while, how can you handle your own factory?
He asked: "What else did Lin'er say to you?"
"Oh, there is one more thing." Chen Qing thought about it, "The young master asked me to help find the third uncle. The third uncle ran away in anger and went to his father-in-law's house. But the young master said that the third uncle may have come to Guangzhou. Please ask the master
Try to find it. If you can find it, please take it in first."
