Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 249 Showdown
December 1908, 3

After several elections in the parliament, Berg was elected as the chairman of the Ice City Council, and Zhu Chuanwen and the chief of the Bingcheng Police Department were elected as the vice presidents.The Bingcheng Public Council is composed of 3 presidents, 40 members, and 12 alternate members. Among them, Zhu Chuanwen nominated 10 people to be selected. Except for the 7 people arranged by Andre, the remaining three members are Zhu Chunshan and Gu Ansheng. , Xia Yuanzhang served.

"Congratulations to Vice President Zhu!" Zhu Chuanwen took over the letter of appointment written by Berg in the on-site office amidst compliments in Russian. Smiling, squinting, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"Mr. President, it seems that I really have to make a living under your hands, and I will trouble you to raise your hand." Zhu Chuanwen said to Berg with a smile.

Shaking hands, taking pictures as souvenirs, the affairs of the Bingcheng Business Club flew to all levels of Bingcheng through various channels. Some Russians knew that since then, there have been a few more Qing people in the power class of Bingcheng. These four are not Qing people. It is not the kind of appointment from the imperial court, but a person with a serious Russian background who has to be respected, but has the right to supervise and make suggestions in his hands.

"Young shopkeeper, do you think this vase is suitable here?" Zhu Fan fiddled with a pair of plum vases back and forth, and then picked up a rag and kept wiping them in this brand-new meeting room, as if he was a bit reluctant... because it was a vice meeting With the position of chief, Zhu Chuanwen had an extra office in the business club, and refused the close protection of the Russian police. In terms of security, he was still protected by his own guard team, and the same was true for the three Hanyao members.

"It's suitable, let's put it there." Zhu Chuanwen said casually without raising his head.

The matter of the shipping company must also be put on the agenda. Since he took office as the vice president of the Ice City Council, the Russians have treated Zhu Chuanwen with kindness again.Also taking this opportunity, Zhu Chuanwen dug a few people, not in Bingcheng, of course, but in Vladivostok.

The headquarters of the shipping company is located in Bingcheng, and it belongs to the transportation channel of Han Yao, which is under the jurisdiction of Gu Ansheng.

However, Hanyao does not have the talent pool for sailing the ship. The Japanese ship was helped by the Russians, and Gu Ansheng also tested the captain of the "Lyudmila" Mikhail. Well, compared to the Lyudmila, this new "Iran" is much bigger, with a displacement of 8700 tons, and it is well maintained, which makes Mikhail very tempted.

After negotiating with Alexei, the chairman of the Russian Chamber of Commerce, Mikhail officially joined Hanyao Shipping Company.

There is a price to pay for this, that is, the coal mines shipped to Vladivostok have increased again, from the original 1 tons per month to 1 tons per month. Sweetness, prying the corner of one's own country is really not enough.

"Zhu Fan, how is your Russian language now?" Zhu Chuanwen asked the man who was still fiddling with the office. Compared with the carefreeness of ordinary people, Zhu Fan has a delicateness that ordinary men do not have.Maybe men who look like Zhang Yide have this characteristic...

"Young shopkeeper, say, it's all right, but, write..." Zhu Fan stopped the rag in his hand, took a deep breath, and then replied with some embarrassment, the man's writing is not good-looking, and writing Russian, a bit difficult...

"It's fine if you can say it, but it's hard for you. I'm forced to learn this and that all day long." Zhu Chuanwen rarely said that his personal bodyguards are not easy to do. Not only do people need to be smart, but they also have to be forced to In fact, he is comparable to a secretary when he is studying.It's also a good thing, one or two of those who bring me by my side to teach by example have become talents, and I can be regarded as able to stand alone. "Wait for you to pack up and go buy a ticket to Vladivostok. Laogu has called. The matter of Vladivostok has been negotiated with Alexei. From now on, this "Yilan" will be yours." The deputy captain is here, learn from the Russians!" At the end, Zhu Chuanwen also encouraged Zhu Fan.

Why is it called the Yilan? After all, it is the place where the Zhu family started. Shipping is the first step for Hanyao. Naturally, he hopes that this step will be as solid as Sanjiangkou.

Zhu Fan is not alone in his trip to Vladivostok this time. The entire "Yilan" needs 137 seamen, half of whom are workers mobilized from commercial companies this time and have traveled to Japan twice without seasickness.Half and half, now Mikhail brings half of the crew, and Zhu Fan also takes half of the crew.

How are the Russians treated? Hanyao’s sailors are also treated the same way. They also specially gave these sailors a share of tobacco and alcohol to build a good relationship with the Russians. We have to use these sugar-coated shells to corrupt them so that the Russian sailors can also play their role. Giving full play to the spirit of teaching and leading, the training of seamen is also a more important layout of Hanyao in the future.

"I know Young Master Manager, just look at it, I will never embarrass you." Zhu Fan put down the rag in his hand and assured Zhu Chuanwen. Before going out, he fiddled with the pair of plum vases for the last time, holding his own Suitcase and walk towards the train station...

"This Zhu Fan..." Only then did Zhu Chuanwen raise his head.

Damn, I can't bear this feeling of parting the most. I just went to Vladivostok and fell in love with myself.Immediately, he got up and looked at Zhu Fan's back from the window. Zhu Fan had left, and he had to take care of the family's affairs. I heard that his son was almost one year old.Zhu Chuanwen immediately took this matter to heart, and told Xian'er when he turned around.

"Dangdangdang." The knock on the door sounded again, pulling Zhu Chuanwen out of his thoughts.

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. President invites you to his office." The waiter came in and said.

From now on, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will be the days when Zhu Chuanwen works in the Bingcheng Business Club. Except for the president who is in the business club around the clock, Zhu Chuanwen and the new police chief Shulkin will work in shifts, and each has its own Things, this can be regarded as the welfare that Andre fought for Zhu Chuanwen.

The Russian-style building highlights a golden splendor. Like his own office, Berg's office is also covered with thick carpets, various gilded furniture, and a small fireplace, which is different from the one hanging in Zhu Chuanwen's office. Oil painting, Zhu Chuanwen who hangs in Berg's office can recognize it at a glance, Nicholas II!

"Mr. Berg!" Zhu Chuanwen looked away from the oil painting and said to the fat man behind the desk.

"Sit down, Mr. Zhu, from now on we will be comrades-in-arms in the trenches." Berg got up from the chair, signaled the waiter to go out to bring coffee to Zhu Chuanwen, and sat down on the sofa arranged in the office himself.

Different from the previous dress, Berg also changed into a work suit similar to a suit, which was more elegant than Zhu Chuanwen's, with accessories and a chain with a pocket watch on it.It's just that it seems to be too small, what's the matter with the fat trembling.

ton ton ton~
Naturally, Berg doesn't have the ability to read other people's thoughts. If he knows that the smiling Zhu Chuanwen is making fun of his figure, he will definitely feel bad.It’s not bad for Berg. From his size, he knows that he likes to eat. Originally, he had a ranking in his mind, with British cuisine at the bottom, Russian cuisine in the middle, and French cuisine at the top of the world.

But now, the big goose stewed in an iron pot is too delicious, and there are fried vermicelli with sauerkraut. I heard that vermicelli is another product of Hanyao in the future, and it is only in the trial sale stage.So in my heart, I still have a little admiration for Zhu Chuanwen. After confirming the eyes, they are all people who can eat...

After the coffee was put on the table, Berg said slowly, "Mr. Zhu, I heard that you have enmity with the Japanese?"

How could he ask this?Zhu Chuanwen's expression didn't change, but he thought to himself, "It's not about enmity, it's just a little friction."

"This friction is not small. I heard that someone found a Japanese corpse in the Songhua River..."

What is this?threaten?Zhu Chuanwen's eyelids twitched, "Mr. President, you know that the ice is dangerous, and now the ice carts in the Hanyao Family Hospital have become popular, and it is necessary to introduce regulations in this area. It will be spring soon. The ice is very thin..."

"Haha, Vice President Zhu will still care about the citizens, so you will be the one to issue this notice." Berg also arranged a task for Zhu Chuanwen.

Zhu Chuanwen was stirring the coffee. There was no milk, no sugar cube, not even agave, so he didn't want to drink the coffee...

The two remained silent.

"Mr. Zhu, when will your vermicelli factory start?" Berg was the first to break the silence.

"Huh?" Zhu Chuanwen kept thinking about what Berg was going to do when he was stirring the coffee, but Duanduan didn't expect to ask such a question.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes are sharp weapons in supplementary grains. It is said that these two things have made great contributions in the prosperity of Kangxi and Qianlong.This time, the reclamation of sweet potatoes and potato planting in Binjiang Prefecture and Yilan Prefecture has also been arranged. In order to sell a part of these large quantities of sweet potatoes and potatoes, Zhu Chuanwen specially asked the Zhou brothers to think about getting a machine for producing vermicelli. After the end, the vermicelli machine began to be trial-produced continuously.

It is much faster than the original earthen hair...

"It should be started in September this year." Zhu Chuanwen also responded and said.

"September..." Berg couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Mr. President likes it?"

"Fried vermicelli with sauerkraut is awesome!" Berg raised his thumbs up to Zhu Chuanwen.

Or a Russian foodie?Zhu Chuanwen rarely became interested, and he was idle when he was idle. Now that he was working under someone else, it was considered an exchange of feelings.

"Master President, there is still a better way to eat this sauerkraut..." Zhu Chuanwen also swallowed, waved to the waiter, and went to his office to get his teacup.

"I would like to hear more about it..." Berg listened attentively.

"Set up an iron pot, put sauerkraut tofu in it, cut the white meat and blood sausage, roll the meat slices and blood sausage three times, lift the lid, the sourness of the sauerkraut is directly tangy, a mouthful of white meat, a mouthful of blood sausage, and a mouthful of sauerkraut... ..." Zhu Chuanwen talked about the method of killing pigs vividly.

"Gudu..." There was a sound of swallowing saliva in the office where there were only two people. One drank tea and the other drank coffee, which naturally covered up the embarrassment.

"Mr. President, look, if I have nothing else to do, I will go back to the office first. The plan for the workers' picket team will have to be submitted next week..."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Mr. Zhu."

When the door was closed again, Berg drank the coffee in front of him, suppressed the secreted saliva, and slowly opened his slightly narrowed eyes... This Zhu Chuanwen is interesting...

Only the first two sentences are the key to today's conversation, and the latter... just like what Zhu Chuanwen thought, it's for getting acquainted!The Bingcheng Police Department has long been aware of the disappearance of Mitsui Trading Company. The manager of the firm, Yoshio Mitsui, was drowned, and 14 employees of the firm were buried outside the city of Bingcheng.The harmless young man in front of him is really ruthless when he does things. I heard that the group of Japanese are still looking for clues... Haha... In Bingcheng, even Mao can't even try to find out!
"I have to find a chance to show my cards!" Berg was lazy, raised one hand, stretched out his middle finger and thumb, and stretched out his stubby fingers to reach his two temples, slowly rubbing them.

And Zhu Chuanwen, who returned to his office, did the same thing, rubbing his temples effortlessly with his slender hands. He was a little confused now, what is Berg going to do?Filed the case of the disappearance of Mitsui & Co.?

"Zhong Xuan, Wu Tong, you two come in." Zhu Chuanwen shouted towards the door.

The two are Zhu Chuanwen's new personal assistants, and they guard the door when they have nothing to do. In the beginning, there were no young people among the 200 or so old brothers of Zhu's insurance team. Now the lowest ones are all mixed up with Hanyao's stewards or insurance team members. Captain, this transfer is troublesome.

These two were the employees of the first batch of Hanyao Flour Mill. The family was placed in the Hanyao Family Home. The two were originally in the trade union, and they were left by Qiao Hongguo to be sent to other factories as the backup of the union leader. This time Zhu Fan left. The two were asked to come over and serve as personal guards.

They are all 20 years old, and in the future, military capabilities and other aspects are slowly being cultivated.

When the two entered the door, Zhu Chuanwen said: "You two discuss it yourself, and go to the porcelain house alone. Recently, the security level of the porcelain house and the gunpowder factory has been raised to the highest level, and the other one will go to the Wangjiashan goods store. I plan to buy some here. Shanhuo, here is the list."

Wang Keren's hunter brigade is now truly hidden behind the scenes. Wang Keren, who is disguised, has been busy patrolling intelligence points recently. Zhu Chuanwen gave the hunter brigade leader two years. After two years, the entire Black Province, Zhu Chuan needs to know the number of patrol battalions in each prefecture, and the evaluation reports on the level of weapons and equipment; the most important thing is to have all the information that can be grasped by the lower levels of Ice City.Unlike the workers' picket team that will cooperate with the police station in the future, it is best that a decent police station can also mix in its own people.

This time Zhu Chuanwen was elected as the vice president of the Bingcheng Public Council, which opened a hole from the top, a hole where the Russians allowed the Qing people to participate in the management of public affairs.

At the same time that Zhu Chuanwen started to guard against Berg, a piece of good news came.

Hanyao MSG factory can start production.

At present, there is a small experimental production line in Hanyao No. 001 Research Institute. There are about 68 workers operating under the guidance of Mao Guangting. It can produce about 1 ton of monosodium glutamate every month. Don’t underestimate the 1 ton of monosodium glutamate. It can have nearly 40 tons of wheat or soybeans.

When the factory building is completed, the output can be increased by about 3 times, which means that the monthly food consumption of this monosodium glutamate factory can reach 120 tons, which is a bit scary... So the price of monosodium glutamate is high, that is for sure.

In fact, the argument that MSG is not good in later generations appeared in the future, that is, around 1960. There was a report in the "New England Journal of Medicine", saying that every time a doctor finished eating in a Chinese restaurant, he Phenomena similar to allergies can occur.

Later, neuroscientist John Olney injected monosodium glutamate into mice and found that there were problems with the nervous system of mice, including developmental disorders and brain damage.

This is a bit nonsense, it is obviously something to eat, and it is injected into the body... try to inject soy sauce and vinegar into the blood?
Anyway, in Zhu Chuanwen's continuous experiments with Mao Guangting, it was found that monosodium glutamate does not cause harm to the human body.

So, start canning...

Today is the first day of moving to the new office, so there should be nothing wrong. Zhu Chuanwen wandered around the business club and then walked towards the Hanyao Research Institute. As for Berg, precautions are taken, as far as the current situation is concerned. I really can't figure out what to do.

"Lao Gu, are you ready?" When Zhu Chuanwen arrived, Gu Ansheng also arrived and was organizing workers to pack it.

"Boss, come on, this thing is really expensive..." Gu Ansheng also took a small glass bottle and put it in Zhu Chuanwen's hand.

In order to sell it in Japan, the "Weijixian" produced by Hanyao is printed in Japanese fonts. Zhu Chuanwen picked up a bottle and looked at it. The transparent crystals really look good.

"Have you decided on the price?" Zhu Chuanwen asked Gu Ansheng.

Each glass bottle of "Weijixian" contains 100g, which is close to 4kg of grain in terms of cost.

In fact, since the soybean harvest in 1906, the grain price in Kanto has been falling continuously. The vast black land gives back to the hard-working farmers with these heavy fruits. Therefore, in Kanto, as long as you go to the provincial and provincial land reclamation bureaus during the land reclamation season to sign up, So it's not a big problem if it survives.The manufacture of MSG does not cause food shortages.

At this time, there is actually no problem with what Qing eats, it is just a good or bad relationship.

"It's settled, boss, 5 yen per bottle." Gu Ansheng smiled as if he had stolen an old hen.

The scorpion shit business is really easy to do. The 5 yen is just the ex-factory price for Yasuda, and the sales price is 6.5 yen. This profit is a necessary sacrifice made by Hanyao for the sake of Japanese sales channels.

It is clearly written on the bottle of "Extremely Fresh" that this product comes from grains and is a gift from the land.

In terms of publicity, Zhu Chuanwen has long thought of a trick...

"Lao Gu, why are you going to Japan?" Zhu Chuanwen also put the glass bottle in his hand and looked at it carefully, and asked casually.

"Wait a little longer. Around May, the cattle and horse trade market will open on the grassland. The Yasuda family is also eagerly waiting for this batch of raw materials." Gu Ansheng said.

"Well, try to bring as much monosodium glutamate as possible. I think the Japanese will definitely like this new condiment."
