Siheyuan: The Ambition of Sanzang

Chapter 98. Paying wages with marks
The transaction between Sanzang and Miloze was a cash transaction, and now the two have no basis for trust at all, only cash is the most reliable.

Milozer had inspected and weighed the blister copper in the port warehouse and was satisfied with the quality of the cargo.

Sanzang also asked the translator to confirm and count the marks in the suitcase, and the two of them had a drug deal.

Both parties want to cooperate sincerely for a long time, even if Miloze wants to cheat, he is not afraid.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Wushang were specially called by him to escort them, and they came with the thick copper escort.

Miloze was not that stupid, and also brought two bodyguards.

The bodyguards of both sides have checked their eyes and know that the other party is not easy to mess with.

Now that we all know the strength of the other party, the cooperation has become sincere.

Through the translator, Sanzang said to Miloze: "Mr. Miloze! This cooperation is very pleasant! How about still trading here after three months?"

"No problem! Happy cooperation! You are the most generous person I have met in all these years of business!"

"Really? You are also very refreshing! Then let's leave now!"

"That's good! See you next time!"

"Old Cheng! Come and get this suitcase, be careful!"

"Understood!" Cheng Wushang immediately took the suitcase from the translator.

Fortunately, the maximum face value of the Duguo mark is 1000 marks, otherwise it would not be easy to pack it in a suitcase or bring it on the plane.

Sanzang and his party of five rushed to Dagang Airport, and from here they took a plane to Hacheng, Jinguo. It took more than two hours, and then they took a train to Qicheng.

It takes more than 50 hours to return to Qicheng directly by train via the Tanzania-Zambia Railway, which is too slow and prone to accidents.

The escort went back directly by train. Anyway, the salary was still paid, so it was considered a work trip.

After 1:[-] p.m., Sanzang and the five arrived in Qicheng, first went to the copper smelter, and happened to meet Director Liu smoking a cigarette at the door.

"Mr. Lou! You guys are here! If you don't come, I will hang myself!
How about it?Is the transaction going well? "

"What's the matter? Is it so serious?" Sanzang thought something serious happened.

"Why not? Now our workers have worked desperately for more than three months in order to earn more money, but they haven't seen a penny!

Fortunately, I still take care of the food, otherwise the local workers would all run away. "

"Okay! Now the matter is settled! Old Cheng! Open the box!"

"This is?!"

"Duguo Mark! Factory Manager Liu, haven't you seen it! Mr. Lou plans to use it to pay everyone's wages!"

"What?! Mr. Huang! Come here!"

Seeing this, Factory Manager Liu hurriedly pulled Sanzang into a corner where no one was around, "Mr. Huang! We are our own people! Can you talk to Mr. Lou if you have something to say!"

"What?"

"Now that the country is short of foreign exchange, can you persuade Mr. Lou to go back to China to exchange the national currency and then pay us wages. Now that we see the money, the workers can wait a few more days.

We make money and spend it when we go back to our country. It is a waste of these precious foreign exchange to pay us wages! "

Sanzang was in awe when he heard this. People at this time sharpen their heads and want to get some foreign exchange to buy good things from abroad. He is also this kind of person, and he can't help being a little ashamed.

It is precisely because there are many people like Director Liu that our country can rise!

"Director Liu! I admire your ideas very much!
But it doesn't matter too much, most of our workers will send home after receiving their wages.

At that time, they will be exchanged for foreign exchange certificates, and workers can use foreign exchange certificates to buy some good things for their families.

It can be regarded as compensation for their hard work overseas, and the country will not lose much! "

"I'm afraid they will spend the money indiscriminately if they get it!"

"Don't worry! Believe in our workers, there will only be a few who spend money indiscriminately!
Besides, the big head is still with Mr. Lou!He will take it back home to buy things soon.

We have to build another copper smelter, and your burden will be even heavier then! "

"Oh! Isn't this too fast! I'm afraid I can't manage it!"

"It's all right! We all believe in you! Go! Call the workers!
Let's pay the wages today! "

When they heard that wages were going to be paid, the workers all came after hearing the news and lined up in front of the finance department, continuing the habit in China.

When the workers heard that it was the Duguo mark, they talked a lot, and after confirming that it was true, they were all beaming.

Sanzang saw local workers queuing up, thought for a while, found a local worker who could speak English, and asked them if they would like to use food instead of wages.

When they heard that the food distributed by one person was enough to feed a whole family, the local workers beamed and said they wanted food, but they had to wait, and everyone understood.

I heard from Qin Qiong that the agricultural company is about to have a bumper harvest, and the yield of corn is still very high. The yield of later generations is 1000 to 1400 jins per mu.
现在亩产600到700斤不成问题，1500亩地总产量就有100万斤左右，他分成40％，就有40万斤。

At that time, he will have a large amount of grain in his hands. Except for those people who eat for themselves, there will be a lot of surplus. It is not cost-effective to transport it back to the country, and it cannot be sold locally for a few dollars.

Simply paying local workers as wages can not only save a lot of money, but also win the hearts of local workers. After all, one person can feed a whole family with a month's worth of food.

Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen were also sitting in the finance department, working out the ledger with the help of an accountant. The copper ore in the copper smelter and the coal in the power plant were all purchased on credit, and they have to be paid in full now.

All salaries have been settled, including the wages of agricultural company workers, veterans, and Black Ice Security Company personnel.

Sanzang is not stupid either, how could he pay for the latter two out of his own pocket, all of which are on the company's account, after all, they are also joint-stock companies!
After paying off the credit accounts for copper ore and coal, as well as the investment from the agricultural company, Sanzang and Lou Xiaochen glanced at each other.

When the accounts were settled, it was late in the evening. Sanzang packed 10 marks in his bag, and brought Qin Qiong and Cheng Wushang to visit his sworn brother, Lao Mu.

Old Mu had known for a long time that Sanzang had brought money here, and that the copper smelter was paying wages, he had known for a long time.

He himself received copper ore money from the copper smelter.

"Oh! Brother! It's been a long time! I miss my brother! Thank you so much!"

Lao Mu thanked him from the bottom of his heart. Some time ago, with the help of veterans' staff, he launched a net-closing operation to wipe out the opposition. Now he has firmly controlled the situation in Qicheng.

At first, the refusal of the veterans to participate in the operation made him feel bad. Afterwards, he also figured it out, and now he is full of gratitude.

"Hi, big brother! I'm worried about you too!"

"Please please please! Let's talk while eating!"

After everyone was full, Sanzang pushed 10 marks to Lao Mu, "This is the profit of the copper smelter for the past three months, and this is the account book!"

Old Mu was also polite, "I'll take the money, and take the account book back!
You!I still don't believe you! "

Lao Mu is not stupid, if it is really fake, he will not be able to see it, it is better not to look at it, to show people sincerity.

Lao Mu took the money and counted a stack, "This is 3 yuan, which is your 30% dividend from the copper mining company."

"Okay! I'm welcome!" Sanzang took the money, "Brother is well-equipped with soldiers and food now!"

"Hahaha! It was better planned by your brother!"

Now Lao Mu has reason to be happy, his farm will soon have a bumper harvest, and there will be 60 catties of grain by then.

In Qicheng, there is no opposition to hinder him, and it is the time to be full of energy.

"Brother! What should I do next?"

"Well! First of all, you can properly expand your team, strengthen your training, and increase your strength."
