There is no air conditioning in the room. The courtyard where Liang Xiaonan lives follows the example from the north, with floor heating under the wooden boards and a small boiler installed, which circulates hot water underground. As for the cost of burning coal, Xie Haoyun is not short of money.
There was a TV at home, and Cao Yuan turned it on. It kept broadcasting various good news. Liang Xiaonan watched it for a while, lost interest, and prepared to read a book.
"Look, Mr. Xie!" Cao Yuan said excitedly.
The news station in Modu is broadcasting that Modu has newly opened a tanker liner from Modu to Europe.
The shot is of the Modu Port Terminal, where a brand new 10,000-ton oil tanker hangs the national flag of China and is ready to go.
The shore was full of "military uniforms", and the city leaders were speaking in the cold wind. Among the many people behind him, stood the quiet Xie Haoyun.
"Has Motordu opened a liner to Europe?" Liang Xiaonan has been here for half a year. Farming has become a bit out of touch with urban life. "How is the shipping industry in Motordu?"
Cao Yuan said embarrassedly: "You have to ask Xie Haoyun about this. I don't know much about it. Anyway, I heard that those who can do shipping now are very rich people, and foreign and domestic goods cannot be transported. The Sushi Country has controlled the entire Asia over the years.
Shipping, if you say raise the price, raise the price.”
This is somewhat consistent with the information she knew in her previous life. It seems that the "strikingly similar history" is also happening in Blue Star.
She originally wanted to ask about the transportation industry in China, but Cao Yuan said he "didn't really understand", so she stopped asking.
Cao Yuan said: "There are many shipping families here in Modu. They were squeezed out by major shipping companies in Sushi Country and Europe and could not continue to operate. They went bankrupt and were taken over by the state. Now they are basically state-owned. However, the transportation industry
It’s very promising, and I heard that Porcelain Country also makes a lot of money!”
"How is M. Bichet's estate?"
"Mr. Xie donated all his property..."
No matter how rich Mr. Xie is, it will be difficult to compete with the shipping giants. Just one ocean-going ship can pay for all the assets of Mr. Xie's company.
It turns out that in recent years, the global ocean transportation market has been controlled by European and American shipping giants. Liners from China and other countries have been unable to enter Europe and the American continent at all, so that the global shipping industry is actually monopolized by European giants.
Because the two shipping industries in Europe and the United States have a monopoly on global transportation, they directly control the economic lifeline of each country. Leaders of each country treat them as the highest-level guests.
The liner that opened to Europe this time is a shipping company called Orient Ocean Shipping Company, referred to as ocs shipping company. It is not a shipping company from China, but the owner is said to be an Asian, and the CEO hired is also an Asian, Shen Dengyun, an expatriate from China.
Among the ocs executives who came to the scene, there was one with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes. The leader called him "Mr. Shen", which was Shen Dengyun. There was another one who looked like a foreigner at first glance. He was tall, fair-skinned, blond and blue-eyed. The leader called him "Fu."
Mr. Fersid", the subtitle reads mr.fersid.
Liang Xiaonan read the entire news with great interest, and finally heard the senior officials from Modu and Kyoto say: "We welcome ocs shipping to open more routes in China, and sincerely invite ycoon to visit our country when we have time."
She guessed that the owner of ocs shipping group should be ycoon.
When she heard the name, she wanted to laugh. This family was very interesting. They actually named their child "Tycoon, Big Entrepreneur". But it looked like the wish came true!
That night, Xie Haoyun braved the heavy snow and hauled in a batch of high-quality antique calligraphy and paintings. Thirteen trucks took different routes in batches and sent them to a warehouse in the suburbs at night, telling people to keep an eye on them.
When Liang Xiaonan woke up the next day, Cao Yuan told her that Xie Haoyun's last batch of old items had been finished.
There are basically no high-quality goods here in Modu. These trucks were taken from the master's private collection in Lin'an Prefecture a week ago. They did not enter the city. Xie Haoyun personally escorted them to the warehouse last night.
Liang Xiaonan said: "You pack your luggage first, and I will immediately notify my friend to pick it up. By the way, tell Mr.
When you encounter high-quality products or authentic works, hide the things first while ensuring your personal safety, and I will pick them up later when I have time."
Cao Yuan didn't even ask. He wrote down everything Liang Xiaonan said.
Liang Xiaonan drove the car directly to the warehouse. Now the warehouse is safe and reliable. Even if the second and third oldest people report it, no public security officer will believe it easily.
Captain Li has been fired. If the second-in-command and the third-in-command dare to come again, the police will not listen. They will first lock up those who "spread rumors and cause trouble".
There were five people guarding the warehouse. When Liang Xiaonan came in despite the heavy snow, they saw Xie Haoyun's car and opened the door directly without saying anything.
Liang Xiaonan said to the person who opened the door: "You all should exit 1 kilometer away and come back in 2 hours."
These people hurriedly agreed. They all knew that Xie Haoyun had a powerful female friend who had very powerful social connections and could get grain and garlic that no one else could.
However, because of their powerful and mysterious background, they are unwilling to show their true colors in front of the public. Every time they collect old items or deliver supplies, the warehouse must be automatically cleared.
After everyone left, Liang Xiaonan went in and saw that the things this time were all calligraphy and paintings. The packaging was no longer the large wooden box used for the Modu collection, but a plastic bag or plastic box with the word "garlic" marked on the outside.
, probably to cope with inspections on the road.
Liang Xiaonan collected all the calligraphy and paintings. This should be the most precious ancient book of calligraphy, painting and calligraphy collected by the top masters in Suzhou and Hangzhou.
These 13 trucks are basically the last hope.
Liang Xiaonan collected all the calligraphy and paintings.
All the plastic boxes were left behind, and every box and sack was filled with garlic.
It is said that there are 13 trucks because these sacks and boxes contain calligraphy and painting and cannot be stacked for fear of being crushed. In fact, there are only 800 boxes and sacks in total.
They were all replaced with garlic, and the total capacity was about 40 tons.
After keeping these, she poured out 200 sacks of rice from the space. These can be used to compensate the masters.
Even if you have money, you can't buy this rice, let alone everyone doesn't have much money now.
Seeing that the time had not come yet, she simply went into the space to sort out these antique calligraphy and paintings and classify them into categories.
After all, it was only 2 hours. She was afraid what if something happened during this period and cut off the food outside?
When the two hours were almost up, she came out of the space. Before she came out, she grabbed two ginseng fruits and stuffed them into her mouth. After eating the sweet fruits, she suddenly felt refreshed.
I started the car and left the warehouse, ran back and forth a dozen times outside the warehouse, until the road outside the warehouse was rutted everywhere, and then I left the warehouse in a hurry.
While driving, I was thinking about returning to Yu County as soon as possible. It is already very cold now. I don’t know how the fish in my fish pond are doing. The Chinese New Year is less than a month away. The county is doing welfare activities, so I should come to pick up the fish.
There were only about 800 fish in the pond, so how could there be enough to sell? She had to go back early and put the small fry in the space immediately to spawn a batch of big fish.
As I was thinking this, the car entered the city. Along the river was Chuanpu Road, the most prosperous commercial street in Modu. Cinemas, food streets, and shops were all next to each other. There was a bustle of people, and they were all shoppers with big and small bags.
She slowed down the car and saw two people holding umbrellas coming out of the store. The man who came out first was tall and had an air of nobility that was both literary and artistic.
The bridge of his nose is very straight, and his profile is as good-looking as ever. In his static profile photo, there is a strong "Suzhou feel".
As if he felt her gaze, he turned around and looked over. There was a moment of astonishment in his eyes, and then he smiled and strode towards her with a hint of his usual sneer on his lips.
