Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 388 Tung Tree Plantation

Ice city
Gu Ansheng recently sent a good news from Shanghai. The Yasuda Chamber of Commerce intends to continue to fulfill the monosodium glutamate contract with Hanyao. At the same time, it has invited Fumio Funakoshi, the head coach of the Black Dragon Association, and Gu Ansheng's relatives as lobbyists. Shanghai, apologizing for breaking the contract with Hanyao, seems to be sincere.

"Guangting, what do you think is going on with this Japanese?" After Zhu Chuanwen saw the news, he turned his head and said to Mao Guangting with the news.

"President, what do you mean?"

"The spirit of craftsmanship!" Zhu Chuanwen pointed to the letter of apology written to him by Yasuda Zenjiro attached to it. The letter was in the form of a telegram. According to Gu Ansheng, he had already opened it for Zhu Chuanwen. It was important to resume trade. A personal letter It will be delivered to Bingcheng in a few days.

When Mao Guangting heard Zhu Chuanwen's words, he burst out laughing. It was true, as far as his contact with the Japanese was concerned during this period, he really liked to bow and apologize.

"But just listen to it. Tell Laogu Qingguo Market here, and the Nanyang Market has also begun to work hard. The Japanese's apology is an apology. It will never be corrected! I hope that when you deal with Japan in the future Keep it firmly in mind, and bring this message to Gu Ansheng." Zhu Chuanwen said again.

"Remember, Prime Minister! Yasuda Chamber of Commerce..."

"Okay, I'll think about Yasuda's plan to provide technical assistance to Hanyao." Zhu Chuanwen interrupted Mao Guangting, technical assistance?The Japanese are planning to send the Japanese towards the ice city again. How many good birds are there?

Zhu Chuanwen hesitated and then talked about another matter: "A message has been sent from the United States. Chuanjie has already established a relationship with the future leader of the Morgan consortium. There is no problem with the planting of tung trees in the United States, right?" ?”

In the book Zhu Chuanwen once read, Mr. Shen Congwen once described it in his article "The Ship of Changde" like this: Sailing in the Yuanshui River Basin, the performance is magnificent, the weather is extraordinary, and the ship that can be called a giant should be the Hongjiang River. tanker.

The article is beautiful, but this ship impressed Zhu Chuanwen even more, oil tanker?What tanker?
Not petroleum, not cooking oil.During the period of the Republic of China, tung oil was transported by Hongjiang oil ships. Hongjiang was the confluence of tung oil in the entire western Hunan region, an ancient trading town with a thousand years of history, and tung oil contributed nearly half of Hunan’s tax revenue during the Republic of China.

Sometimes I have to praise China for its rich products. The soybeans in Kanto in the late Qing Dynasty and the tung oil in the south of the Republic of China can be said to have dedicated themselves to this country. Unfortunately, with such national strength, they all made wedding dresses for other countries.

"No problem, Prime Minister, this matter was also handled by Manager Gu who went to Shanghai in person. We can't mix in the tung oil from the south, but we can still buy seeds from there and attract oil people. The first batch of people have already Sent to the United States, the transplanted saplings have survived." Mao Guangting said.

"That's fine. This matter is related to the right to speak of Aaron Corporation in the United States in the future." Zhu Chuanwen didn't ask any more questions, and he had to do everything by himself, no matter how big or small. This is something only people at Zhuge Liang's level will do.

With this skill, he might as well not go back and care about Xian'er.The good news came one after another when he returned to Bingcheng, and he had a real happy pulse. Because it was the second child, the morning sickness was not as serious as the first time.

Regarding the right to speak of Hanyao's American branch, such an importance once again made Mao Guangting attach importance to a level, and said solemnly, "Mr. Prime Minister, I will contact the United States again." The radio station goes.

In order to realize the globalization of Hanyao, using encrypted radio stations to call back and forth, the time is short, but the price is not small, it can only be said to be, trench!Treacherous and inhumane!
As the radio waves called to the United States, across the Pacific Ocean, Zhu Chuanjie was still talking with Morgan Jr.

"Tung oil?" Little Morgan's eyes brightened a lot, which is a good thing.

This kind of oil has been widely used in the Sui and Tang Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty. The development of lacquerware in the Song Dynasty was an inevitable result of the extensive use of tung oil.

At the beginning of the 20th century, according to the research of European scientists, this kind of paint, which was originally used as a raw material for paint, played an irreplaceable role in the electrification industrial revolution in addition to its strong drying property. Of all the oils found on this earth, it is the only oil that cannot be synthesized, has impermeable and anti-corrosion chemical properties.

It plays a vital role in the industrialization of the United States, and has become an indispensable material in the manufacture of a new generation of American motors, wires, submarine cables and other electrical appliances.

According to the statistics of later generations, from the late Qing Dynasty to the period of the Republic of China, the American market purchased almost 80% of the tung oil produced in the Qing Dynasty.

Little Morgan's eyes gradually became frenzied, it seemed that looking at Zhu Chuanjie was like a treasure!He also has a wide range of sources of information. A few years ago, the U.S. government actually started to plant tung trees experimentally, because Wiggs, the U.S. consul in Hankou, had sent tung tree seeds to the United States many times.

The Americans have already started the planting of tung trees, and the early trial planting was not successful.However, after entering the second half of the 20th century, it can be said that self-sufficiency has begun. The plantations of the American Paint Association in the south can be said to provide a good guarantee for the tung oil in the United States in the later period.

But now, in the first half of the 20th century, importing tung oil from the Qing Dynasty has become the only way for countries in the world to obtain tung oil, and the tung oil forests in the south have long been completely divided up by local forces, and the Zhu family's power is far away from Bingcheng. There is no way to intervene .

"Yes, Mr. Morgan, our newly established Ailon Tung Oil Company, in addition to taking over the transportation of tung oil from Qingguo to the United States, we also plan to open a tung tree garden in the south of the United States to plant tung trees. This part has actually been supported by the governments of southern states in the United States, and many lands can be said to be sold to us by them and their low prices." Zhu Chuanjie said.

"Are you sure about planting tung trees?" Little Morgan's eyes gradually regained clarity. No one can say anything about biology. Failures in the early stage will definitely occur, and Aron's company has made such a large scale.

"Mr. Morgan, there is an old saying in China that there is no diamond to stop the porcelain industry. In terms of farming, the Chinese are the top farmers in the world!" Zhu Chuanjie said with confidence.

This spring, in the experimental tung tree garden, it can be said that a batch has been successful. In the future, according to the variety and soil quality, the tung tree planters collected by the Hanyao Chamber of Commerce will go to the southern land to give guidance. The United States has a vast land and few people. , Land is not valuable, but people are valuable.

But the Chinese are not valued at all in the United States. These people have heard that Aaron Company is recruiting, and they have begun to move towards Tongshu Garden in the south in large numbers.

Little Morgan pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you successfully planted it?"

"It's alive, but we can't say for sure in the future, but Mr. Morgan also knows that the latitude of the place we chose to plant is similar to the area where tung trees grow in Qing Dynasty. There is no reason why we can't survive, and there is no reason why we can't produce tung oil. "

"I need to go to your Tongshu Experimental Garden for a field survey." Little Morgan said suddenly.

Zhu Chuanjie in front of him is a habitual offender. Little Morgan has checked him out because of the insurance he invested in. It can be said that the Morgan consortium also knows about the rubber plantation, but business is business, and it doesn’t matter if the British or Japanese are stupid. He Morgan is not stupid.

"Yes, I can ask the deputy general manager of Ailon Company to accompany you. You know, sir, I still have studies at Columbia University." Zhu Chuanjie said, asking him to go to the southern United States. It will take half a month to come and go. How many classes do I have to miss?

"Okay, Mr. Zhu, if it can be planted, our Morgan consortium will not only invest in your Airon Broadcasting Company, but also in your Airon Tung Oil Company."

"Mr. Morgan, I didn't say I wanted to sell the shares of Tung Oil Company!" Zhu Chuanjie laughed all of a sudden.

"Mr. Zhu, you will be satisfied with the Morgan consortium's price!" Little Morgan said confidently.

No one can reject the Morgan consortium, which is known as the savior of the United States at this time, if there is, then the money is not enough!
The first tentative conversation between Zhu Chuanjie and Morgan Jr. ended like this.

The young couple returned to their own house, Xia Yushu couldn't help asking: "Chuanjie, is this the heir of the Morgan family?"

"Yes, he is the heir of the Morgan family in the future. My eldest brother let me live here to get in touch with this person. It seems that the progress is going well!" Zhu Chuanjie said while taking off his clothes. After drinking some wine, he felt a little angry rise.

"He is the son of Mr. Morgan!" Xia Yushu muttered to himself, J.P. Morgan is really a big man she saw in the newspapers when she came to the United States. Just as she was thinking, she asked about the smell of alcohol that was approaching, " Jay, we're not married yet..."

The next day, accompanied by Xia Chi, Jr. Morgan went to the experimental Tongshu Garden of Southern Ailon Company.

"Mr. Morgan, this is the tung tree seedling, which we brought over from the Qing Dynasty." When we arrived at the place, Xia Chi began to introduce it to little Morgan. The tung tree sapling is not high, only about 30 centimeters. It can be said to be taken care of as a baby.

Little Morgan waved to the people behind him, and a professor of botany stepped forward and began to investigate.

"Mr. Xia, how big is your plantation in the south?"

How big is it?This question can be regarded as asking Xia Chi, how big is it, Ailon Company is investing in land every week, and it can be said that it changes every day, "Mr. Morgan, let me tell you this, there will be nearly 30 people in the future Large-scale Tongnong are working here, and basically those Chinese who can’t find a job will settle here!”

"More than 30 people." Little Morgan was a little speechless when he heard this number. This was the first time he felt that there were so many people, and it could be said that Ailon Company had really invested a lot of money.

And if the Morgan consortium invests, then the money is definitely not a small amount.

But compared to looking for mines and oil, the Qing people seem to be better at obtaining economic benefits from plants, Little Morgan thought so.

"The payback cycle of the tung tree?"

"It takes three years for a tung tree to grow!" Xia Chi explained.

Three years is indeed not a long time. Compared with the return of the mine, the return of the tung tree will be more lasting.

After a few days of research in the Tung Tree Experimental Garden in the south, Little Morgan rushed to New York again. His original investment plan did have to be changed!

　Shuo (shui) guest, the teacher taught me this way when I was in school, but I don’t know when I became a (shuo) guest, it’s really uncomfortable, and the input method even gave me a wave of reminders.

　　By the way, I mentioned earlier that Xian'er is pregnant again. The discussion post is asking for names. Interested masters can take a look.I searched for information before and saved photos of Zhang Americans laying submarine cables. If you are interested, you can take a look.
