Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 221 Don’t look at the escort industry with the same old eyes anymore

A few days later, construction was started on a large construction site in Yau Ma Tei, covering an area of ​​one to two thousand acres. Wang Shouliang, feeling slightly numb, was conducting basic military training on 99 young men.

No. 99 people and 93 illiterate people...

The only fallen scholar with a similar composition to him was named Tang. At this moment, Tang Xiucai, his wife, and a large number of women selected from the group of 100 were cooking for everyone.

Rice, white steamed buns, a variety of stews, and the most important thing is meat!

The temporarily built kitchen area, with its fragrant aroma, attracted the attention of many peripheral construction workers.

Even the 99 people standing in a military posture are just as hungry.

When someone's military posture, which was just okay at first, suddenly fell into disrepair, Wang Shouliang grabbed the whip and walked over, "Get out of the queue!"

When the other party came out with a face full of shame and shame, Wang Shouliang personally whipped him three times before letting him go back and continue.

The whip is real and the pain is unforgettable, but it will not leave any disability.

He felt that it would take at least two or three months for these 21 young and strong disaster victims to learn basic st century university military training to an % level.

After all, there are too many illiterate people who cannot distinguish between left and right. To distinguish between left and right, you need to wear shoes of different colors.

With 1901% to 100% university military training and working according to the militia training manual, it would be good to train ordinary militiamen by the end of .

It is estimated that it will take 1902 to draw out qualified escorts and escorts from the Sihai Escort Agency.

This also refers to the situation where the salary of three black Spanish dollars per month is constant, no deductions are made, no waste is spent, and three meals a day are enough.

The military posture training lasted until noon. Wang Shouliang blew the whistle and gave the order to disperse and rest. A large group of people charged like a flock of chickens and ducks...

They all rushed to the canteen area.

Tang Xiucai also ran over quickly and stood in a military posture to salute.

Wang Shouliang waved his hand, "We must also make full use of our night rest time. I will urge the relevant departments to repair the water and electricity here as soon as possible. Then you will be responsible for literacy."

"Don't talk about messy eight-legged essays, just read and write. If each player learns 100 Chinese characters, he will be awarded 100 copper coins."

"You also need to teach some arithmetic, be able to memorize the multiplication tables, and learn Arabic numerals. As a reward, you will be rewarded with a black Mexican eagle who can use it skillfully. The better your results, the more rewards you will receive."

"I will arrange a unified examination to assess this kind of achievement."

Tang Xiucai nodded hurriedly, "Yes, sir!"

Mr. Wang waved his hand again, indicating that Tang Xiucai could go to dinner. He was really helpless. This most basic military training required him to personally control it for some time.

What a waste of time.

Just when he was thinking about recruiting more literate employees, Shi Aihua rode a bicycle from a distance from the large construction site and called his cousin from a distance.

Mr. Wang greeted me with a bright smile, "Aihua, why are you here?"

Shi Aihua looked excited, "Cousin, something happened. You haven't been home for the past two days. Don't you know? The three gunboats of the Marine Police Commando wanted to go to sea the night before yesterday. Aaron and the others also planned to attack Luo Luo again. F."

"I didn't expect that it was all blown up and sunk before it even started."

"Now my dad's marine police commando team has all been changed to the land police. Hong Tianci took him for training. My dad is also unemployed. From the deputy marine police officer to the public security fund fundraising committee."

"To put it nicely, the president is someone who goes around begging for money from rich people. He makes me mad."

Wang Shouliang, "..."

His smile became brighter and he comforted, "Don't worry, it's good for uncle to take a leisurely job and take a break."

"Wait a minute, I'll go back to Shanghuan with you."

After he called out Tang Xiucai and a few other literate people, he gave instructions for a while and handed Tang Xiucai the military training manual for him to temporarily take over. Then he got on his bicycle and left with Shi Aihua.

This is the official unfolding of the Plan A story.

One thing to say is that Luo Sanpao's group of senior pirates was still greedy. The Marine Police Commando bought five gunboats, but two of them leaked before they started, and three of them were bombed and sunk before they started.

This is Luo Sanpao's younger brother Li Chujiu coming ashore.

Come to think of it, Li Chujiu came here to contact Zhou Yongling, a big businessman, and wanted Zhou Yongling to buy 100 fast guns, which was the Li long rifle that Mr. Wang was buying.

The other party only wanted 100 guns, but Wang Shouliang's order was for 1000 fast guns and million rounds of ammunition!

After the two of them pushed their bicycles onto the ferry between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and glanced at the various people on board, Wang Shouliang said, "I will donate 1000 Yingyang to my uncle's committee, which can be considered as supporting his business."

Shi Aihua was shocked, "How can that be done? Cousin, you don't have much wealth, but you still have to use it to start your own business and find a wife."

"You don't have to worry about this. Anyway, the idle job is paid. It just dampened my father's enthusiasm for the pirate career. He also complained to me, saying that it was good to be idle. He planned to find a few wives for you, and he was waiting for his grandson. Woolen cloth."

Wang Shouliang rolled his eyes wildly and even wanted to vomit blood. It was outrageous. It was already 1901 and this kind of thing still happened?

Taking a breath, he changed the subject, "How are you and Aaron? When will you get married?"

Shi Aihua was speechless for a moment, too shy to speak.

We chatted and joked briefly all the way, and when Wang Shouliang returned to Shi's house, he ate and drank with Shi Xi, chatting casually about his entrepreneurial situation. After Shi Xi drank and was stunned, he walked out of the house feeling refreshed.

Starting a business... His starting a business is a bit unseemly.

So far, Shi Xi only thought that he was buying factory land in Yau Tsim Mong and was still following the path of a normal clothing or food factory.

How could he have known that the clothing and food factories were still laying foundations and waiting to build factory buildings? The first batch of bodyguards and guards of the one hundred-person Sihai Bodyguard Bureau had begun military training.

The main reason for these things is that Kevin brought out a group of ghost guys and took the pounds, U.S. knives, and francs printed by Wang Shouliang himself to liven things up? He also told Kevin and others not to tell Shi Xi the truth for the time being.

He was afraid that the man was too old to bear the excitement.

Think about it, Ma Rulong and others have already entered the land police training camp and started to be trained by Hong Tianci? Wang Shouliang suddenly patted the bicycle seat and said, "Hong Tianci is an expert at training newcomers."

"At least the top graduates from the Scottish Police Academy..."

He was still thinking about whether to dig up Hong Tianci when he saw Kevin coming from the street on a bicycle with a bright smile on his face, "Wang, the goods have arrived, do you want to check them out?"

"Wang Defake, when will your factory in Kowloon be able to make phone calls? Before I came here, I thought the trip would be in vain and I could only leave the news to your cousin or uncle."

Wang Shouliang smiled and threw out a cigar, "Which batch?"

In addition to ordering 1 long rifles and 1000 million rounds of ammunition from Kevin, he also ordered 100 Mauser C96s, which are the box guns and potbelly boxes that will be extremely popular in China in the future.

The original trajectory was in 1912 when Beiyang made a transaction with a foreign company called Hansmao. A Mauser C96 sold for 58 taels of silver and came with 500 rounds of ammunition, which is about 80 Yingyang.

Beiyang officials spent 11600 taels of silver to buy 200 sets.

It is now 1901. Whether in Europe or North America, the most popular revolver is the revolver. Various types such as M1911, French M1903, Big Bear's large-caliber revolver, etc. are still under development.

In other words, Mauser C96 is relatively early, but it is not mass-produced and installed.

This is the product of Hans Cat. The Webley runner series, which is popular in Yalun, is also in an embarrassing period. The military and police in various colonies in Yalun complained wildly about its low power, inaccurate shooting, and slow reloading.

Kevin smiled and lit his cigar, "500 pistols, each one is 50 Yingyang, and 50 rounds of ammunition, each thousand rounds is still 80 Yingyang." This price is almost the same as what Beiyang officials bought from Hans Cat Mao Company 11 years later... …

It only costs more than 20 pounds. The main thing is that Mr. Wang wants more bullets, and the range of the pistol is far inferior to that of the rifle, but he has a full magazine of bullets.

Of course, when Kevin went to Hanscat Arms Co., he definitely got the deal.

He also bought a Maxim, and is probably still negotiating for a transfer. It is estimated to be more than 200 pounds a piece, and Kevin will earn some transfer fees.

Wang Shouliang smiled and said, "Let's go, you and I will go inspect the goods. As for the money, it's not a big deal."

This arms business is really going smoothly.

When Kevin turned around and rode again, he also smiled and said, "Does your uncle want to arrange a new and good position for him?"

"For only a thousand pounds, I can help and connect him to try to run the position of Inspector Zonghua."

"There are many assistants like Assistant Office Qi, such as the most outstanding one in the Third Ring Road. One person manages Sheung Wan, Central and Western District. In recent years, more and more people have fled to Hong Kong Island from the north. "

"I think within a few years, Yau Tsim Mong will become a new town area, and by then a chief inspector will be needed to control more territory."

Wang Shouliang rolled his eyes. Although Kevin only wanted 1000 pounds, which was equivalent to more than Mexican Yingyang, he was only talking about pulling the strings. He would still have to spend money to pull out the subsequent strings.

As he rode forward, he smiled again and said, "Okay, as long as money can solve it, it's not a big deal."

After all, I printed it myself.

Another thing that needs to be explained is that the pound notes currently in circulation, the 20 or 50 pound banknotes, are all printed on one side... black and white or light green, dark green background.

100 pounds or 1000 pounds basically only exist in bank-to-bank communication transfers, similar to future checks.

The single-sided black and white, light green, and dark green paper pounds were not completely abolished until 1945.

Compared with the 1980s and 1990s, the difficulty of counterfeiting is not the same at all. During World War II, Mustache also produced fake pounds on a large scale.

There are two auxiliary units under the pound, the shilling and the penny, which are similar to the difference between the yuan, jiao and cents of the renminbi.

Of course, what Wang Shouliang can provide is not all new banknotes. There are also some that are made older by technological means, and they are faked after they have been circulated for some time.

………………

Night fell, around eight o'clock in the evening.

After finishing the meal with Kevin and other foreigners, Wang Shouliang rode to a mahjong parlor, opened the door and walked in. He saw smokers and gamblers everywhere.

When he walked behind Zhuo Yifei and watched the fat man win a handful of small cards, he smiled and handed the cigarette to the fat man, "Zhuo Yifei, are you interested in chatting?"

Zhuo Yifei looked at Wang Shouliang in shock, "Who are you?"

Mr. Wang smiled and said, "Let's talk about things that can make us rich."

Zhuo Yifei suddenly no longer felt sleepy or confused. He stood up and patted Wang Shouliang's arm, "Let's talk outside."

When the two of them arrived outside the mahjong parlor, Wang Shouliang took out a 50 pound note and said, "This is almost more than 500 yingyang and taels of silver. I would like to ask you to help me train a group of people."

"In this era of price and currency chaos, money is also real money."

In the original trajectory, Zhou Yongling's subordinate Chang Shan was captured, and Lao Zhou asked Zhuo Yifei to rob Yalun Guilao's one hundred guns. Those guns were not worth much even if they were bought and sold.

Of course, the bullet price is calculated separately.

He thought about asking Hong Tianci to help train the 100 first batch of escorts and escorts of the Sihai Escort Agency, but Hong Tianci was really not suitable. He might as well capture Zhuo Yifei's young men.

This does not mean that the training rights are completely given to Zhuo Yifei. Wang Shouliang will definitely go there, but it is just that when he is standing in a military posture and walking forward, he will be watched for a long time by Afei.

Zhuo Yifei looked at the pound and took a deep breath, "How many people will be trained? How long? If the time is too long, 50 pounds will not be enough."

"And how to train? How do you want to be trained? There must be standards."

Mr. Wang smiled and nodded, "In two to three months at most, if you do well, I can give you another 50 pounds as the final payment."

Zhuo Yifei spat and wiped his hands, "Okay, that's it. Since you have found me, you should know who I am. Don't let me find out that you are playing tricks on me."

Wang Shouliang smiled calmly, "I just plan to open an escort agency and train some escorts and escorts."

Zhuo Yifei suddenly realized, "Escort agency? Good guy, you are right to ask me for this kind of thing!"

........................

a new day.

In an area of ​​Yau Ma Tei surrounded by mountains and the sea, this is no longer a large-scale construction site, because Mr. Wang wants to try firearms training today.

His previous few days were not in vain. At least he could say something so that the escorts and escorts could understand and know to obey, obey, and obey again! !

On the empty seaside, Commander Wang threw out several large boxes. After opening the boxes, they all contained brand-new Lee long rifles and Mauser C96 pistols.

"Each team leader, come and get the gun. Each team member will have a rifle and a pistol. Bullets will not be fired for the time being. Today we will start training on the essentials of empty gun shooting and marching with a gun..."

There was an uproar.

Everyone who knows knows that they are about to become bodyguards, escorts, and other bodyguards, and they may also work part-time as security patrols, bodyguards, and security guards in clothing factories and food factories in the future.

Therefore, everyone thinks it is normal to stand in line in a military posture and obey orders.

But showing off more than two hundred guns and multiple long and short guns? ?

Xiao Tang, a failed scholar, couldn't help but stammered, "Boss, what should we do if we encounter the police?"

Zhuo Yifei was also stunned.

Wang Shouliang waved his hand, "The police are here to maintain order and prevent citizens or refugees who see these situations from disturbing us."

"Our escort agency is legally licensed to hold guns and is qualified as an armed escort."

"Don't worry, everyone. It's 1901, the beginning of the 20th century. Don't look at the escort business from a traditional, old-fashioned perspective. We don't go around the world with a machete and a stick on our back."

"New and uniform uniforms were delivered today. Each person has two sets of winter and summer clothes, including free shoes and socks."

The clothing factory has not yet appeared, but he prepared for the war for a year before coming here, and it is still very easy to come up with security uniforms that are in line with the clothing material sources of this era, but are more handsome, domineering and unrestrained.

The bicycle factory hasn't opened yet, but the goods of 100 bicycles have long been stored in the portable space, just waiting to be released.

In the next month or two, Ma Rulong and others will be trained in the land police training camp, and his Sihai escort agency will also go from a novice to a so-so person.
