   "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation. Higgins hopes to maintain long-term friendly cooperation with you. Since the Civil War, the central and southern states of the United States have experienced brutal wars. The original slave-holding manor system was completely disintegrated, and black slaves fled to the north. And on the East Coast, the southern plantation agriculture in the United States has been hit hard, and it has not been able to recover half of the original level. Therefore, our agricultural and sideline products have a large gap, especially toffee, Australian ham, sausage, cocoa, tea, soybean oil, and koji. Odd biscuits, wool and canned products all have a large demand gap. Higgins hopes to focus on strengthening cooperation in this area."

"Very well, Mr. Mark Simmons. This is exactly what we hope. As the Honghe brand agricultural and sideline products enter North America, they are quickly welcomed by virtue of their high-quality reputation. At present, several powerful American companies have negotiated and cooperated with us. Still choosing Higgins as a long-term partner is based on the profound friendship and pleasant cooperation experience between myself and Mr. Higgins. Please convey my best wishes to Chairman Higgins. I cherish the cooperation between the two parties very much. This is very important. ."

   "Thank you for your high praise, I will convey your kindness as soon as possible."

   "Hahaha...good."

  Li Fushou and Mr. Mark Simmons, representative of Higgins Bank of the United States shook hands enthusiastically, and the two sides reached a major cooperation.

  Honghe brand agricultural and sideline products under Red River Valley Ranch will be promoted and sold by Higgins in North America, becoming one of the important partners.

  Fisher Company is mainly engaged in the import and export of mining machinery, steel machinery and equipment and other products, and does not involve the field of non-staple food circulation.

  Agricultural and sideline products previously sold to North America, Fischer Machinery Import and Export Corporation of the United States and Higgins Co., Ltd. cooperated in sales. With the help of the other party's extensive sales channels, the payment was quickly returned, and considerable benefits were obtained from it.

  In view of this

  Higgins Bank took the initiative to contact Red River Valley Ranch, hoping to further deepen the cooperation between the two parties.

  The implication is to get rid of the American Fischer Import and Export Company, and the two sides can directly start trade cooperation, so why bother to make more money?

  The two parties hit it off and signed a cooperation agreement.

  In the future, the agricultural and sideline products sold by the Red River Valley Ranch to North America will be transported to the Oakland Port warehouse, and the Normandy Import and Export Company and the Fischer Import and Export Company will be spot traded, and they will get what they need.

  In this way, Red River Valley Ranch can quickly withdraw funds. Higgins has a wide range of channels in the North American commodity circulation field, and the distribution of Red River brand agricultural and sideline products also has sufficient profit margins. This is a win-win result.

  Li Fushou did not put the eggs in a basket. Normandy Import and Export Corporation also has the right to trade and sell food and primary mineral products in North America, adopting a two-legged development plan.

  Avoid being controlled by others and losing the right to price and speak.

  On the one hand, it actively develops strong American commodity circulation companies to join, and on the other hand, it develops independent commodity sales channels, which makes it more stable to walk on two legs.

  It’s just that Normandy Import and Export Company was established in a short period of time. From experience to channels, it is restricted by contacts and funds, and it takes time to develop slowly.

  So, this leg is lame.

  Sent away the US trade representative, Li Fushou came to the study to sit down, took a sip of black tea with the aroma of tea, and nodded with stern demeanor.

   A pair of warm little hands pressed on his foreheads on both sides, gently kneading, so as to relieve the fatigue caused by business negotiations.

  Li Fushou closed his eyes and enjoyed the service of the beautiful little black nuncles, with a comfortable expression on his face.

   Lightly rubbing the temples, pressing and beating the neck, and tapping the periphery of the top of the head. Kris's technique is gentle and skillful, apparently after a lot of hard work.

  At this time, Pang Xuehai, the new secretary of the Secretariat, walked to the door with a pile of materials and saw Li Fushou in the study enjoying a massage of the opposite sex.

  Li Fushou, the big boss behind the scenes of Red River Valley, has a lot of work. Originally, the "Five Tigers" of the Secretariat had their own appointments, and there were no useful people in their hands. Therefore, a group of elites were selected to fill the Secretariat in Hongmen.

  Finally count

   Secretariat Zhu Wei, Yu Chi Shouzhuo, Hu Chaoshan, Jia Donghe and Luo Jingming, the five tigers, are now important ministers in the South China Sea and the North.

  Normandy International Trade Import and Export Corporation is an important move to land in North America. Fan Asheng personally sits and the secretariat, one of the five tiger generals, Hu Chaoshan Fuzhi, is in charge of trade and business activities in the West Coast region of North America.

  Havana in Cuba, Zhu Wei is in charge, and a steady stream of native white women are sent to Australia. Now more than 4,400 people have been sent, and progress has exceeded expectations.

  Australia's 19th Century United Shipping Company is also an important measure for the overall commercial layout of the Red River Valley. It solves the problem of Australia's remoteness and product transportation import and export, and it hides far-reaching strategic intentions.

  This company is headed by Li Fushou as the chairman and general manager. Jia Donghe and Luo Jingming, who are good at shipping, are separated. One is in charge of North American routes and the other is in charge of East Asia routes. This is also the second of the five generals of the Secretariat.

The last Yuchi Shouzhuo who specializes in military operations was newly appointed as the Southern District Sheriff. Under his command, 33 RCMP were responsible for public security in the Southern District. At the same time, he also served as the chief officer of the Red Dragon Brigade under the "Xinghua Society". The position controls hundreds of gunmen and thousands of loose members.

  There is never a lack of smart people in this world

  The people around the big leader have all embarked on important positions. Now the secretariat selection is a ladder to the sky, and the people who compete for it really broke their heads.

  According to the selection criteria;

  First, you must be proficient in Chinese and English, and be able to write.

  Only this one has brushed down 90% of the competitors. Everyone can speak Chinese, and there are many people who can use English proficiently, but few of them can write.

  Most senior gold prospectors are proficient in English conversation skills in communicating with locals. In the immersive environment of Australia, it is not difficult to learn English, but the difficulty is to be able to read and write.

  Anyone who passes this level is a caring person, who is the best among the Australian Chinese.

  Secondly, it requires moral integrity, integrity and filial piety, without any bad behavior.

  This requires Hongmen internal and external departments, red orange, yellow, green, blue and purple teams, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne sub-rudder and Red River Valley base camp to focus on screening and select qualified talents.

  Finally, there are a total of 31 finalists in the final stage, all of whom are young talents in various fields, and they are all first-class in morality and intelligence.

  In this last step, Li Fushou personally selected 9 people to enter the Secretariat. Among the 9 lucky people, Pang Xuehai was one of the new secretaries.

  The remaining 22 people were not wasted. 10 people were selected to study at the U.S. Naval Academy, and 12 people at the U.S. West Point Military Academy for further studies.

  "Master, this is a report on the establishment of the Red River Valley College and affiliated schools, the next step in the construction of commercial facilities in the valley town, and a report on the acquisition of several nearby ranches in New South Wales. Please review it."

  Seeing Li Fushou opened his eyes, the secretary Pang Xuehai quickly walked in lightly and presented the documents with both hands.

   "Hmm, let me see."

Li Fushou picked up the document and turned it over. This is a report on the construction of the Red River Valley College and affiliated schools by the beautiful Baixi. The initial stage was mainly about the site leveling and the construction of some school buildings. It was originally planned and has been delayed until now. Various practices.

  Planned 12 acres of land for the school building. The pre-construction of 5 acres of school buildings and related auxiliary facilities, including libraries, classrooms, school buildings and canteens, laboratories, etc., will cost a total of 4,300 pounds.

  Building materials, trees, and rocks are readily available. The roads and squares inside the school are padded with cinder, and everything is as simple as possible.

  After all, the conditions for running a school are limited at the beginning, and it can develop slowly in the future.

  You can take advantage of the great opportunity of the influx of Brisbane gold prospectors into the Red River Valley in the late autumn, and the construction of civil engineering, a strong labor can cover food and housing a shilling a month’s wages, the cost is not much but the effect is very good.

Most Chinese gold prospectors come from the coastal provinces. Generally, there are few people and many people, and the conflicts of survival are sharp. Therefore, there are particularly many people who can work as carpenters and masons. In addition, there are sticksmiths, lacquersmiths, blacksmiths, inkstonesmiths, goldsmiths, and toothsmiths. Tanners, etc., are really talented.

  The manager of the recruiter only needs to shout at the door of the woolen mill; "30 carpenters and 30 painters each, come and sign up!"

  At least 200 people swarmed up. That lively energy, tusk...

  Li Fushou reviewed it, and there was no problem, so he swiped his pen. Next, he handed over to the Secretariat to coordinate the construction. Specifically, a dedicated person will be arranged to solve various problems in the construction process.

  These specific tasks are also an important aspect of training the secretary's ability, and lay a solid foundation for moving toward more important positions in the future.

  As a superior, Li Fushou only needs to inspect from time to time.

  After all, a person’s energy is limited, and the importance of the secretariat is highlighted. He can free himself from a lot of tedious and specific work and have time to consider more important development directions and strategic issues.

  A trip to the United States in summer

  For Li Fushou, it was not the vast land of North America, the prosperous cities with large populations, or the industrialized Great Lakes region that touched Li Fushou the most, but the developed and complete education system in the United States.

  Many well-known American higher education colleges have been presented in later generations, covering major cities on the east and west coasts, ranging from military, art, agriculture and animal husbandry, chemistry, mechanical industry to music and medicine, showing amazing development potential.

   Accumulate thick and thin, not a day's work.

  According to the popular saying, I always remember that the thief eats meat, and I don’t see when the thief is beaten, or when it is difficult to live through the expired food in the trash can.

Although the    metaphor is not appropriate, it can be seen vividly that a country is slowly accumulating its heritage, slowly changing from quantity to qualitative change, and finally exploding at an appropriate time.

  There is no casual success in this world. This is true for people and the same for countries.

It is precisely in view of the importance of education that Red River Valley’s large-scale literacy class activities are not only motivated by the requirements of militia training, but also out of the demand for highly skilled workers. In addition, it has extensively carried out mechanical mechanics study classes, training and training. Textile craftsmen workshops and so on. Those who have excellent grades can be recruited into the factory first, and give priority to approval to fall in love with white women...

  Ahem...I don’t talk about these incentives for the time being, anyway, the effect is very good.
