On the last day of August, a huge transport fleet consisting of thirty container ships slowly sailed into the Yingtianfu Longjiang Port Terminal under the escort of eight frigates and eighteen patrol ships of the inspection fleet. This is the East China Sea War
After achieving a decisive victory, the Dao Sect grabbed the first batch of fruits of victory.
A large amount of minerals from the East China Sea were transported on the ship, including twelve shipments of spiritual sulfur and eight shipments of malachite that were urgently needed by Daomen, as well as six shipments of mica iron, two shipments of spiritual lavender, and two shipments of other specialties.
The East China Sea War has been going on for three years, and many of Dao Sect's stocked maritime specialty resources have been almost exhausted. The arrival of thirty container ships immediately aroused strong reactions from various sects and sects.
The business department of the Overseas Reclamation Company immediately started operating at high speed, selling goods in large quantities through auctions. The Xiangluxuan on Zijin Mountain was reactivated, leased to the Overseas Reclamation Company at an annual rent of 500 taels, and converted into the company's marine products.
In the auction house, the auction was held once a day and lasted for three days.
In general, Qifuge and Zhao Ran's Junshan Group were not involved. The Overseas Reclamation Company had another transport fleet that brought back mountains of goods from the East China Sea, exclusively for Qifuge and Junshan Group at a lower price.
The shares of the Overseas Reclamation Company were once again hotly speculated, with the stock price per share rising from fifteen taels to twenty-six taels.
As the stock price rose, the value of A Jiang, a famous director of the company's board of directors and a famous beauty in Qinhuaihe, soared. She owned hundreds of thousands of properties and became a legend in Qinhuaihe.
The famous journalist Ruoqi, who once held a thousand shares, instantly calculated her losses. Since she sold her shares to Chen Miazhu at a price of 30 per share the year before last, she lost more than 20,000 yuan, so Chen Mianzhu
The name Bamboo made her teeth itch for several days.
Chen Miuzhu realized that his good intentions had actually earned him more than 20,000 yuan. He couldn't help but sigh, as Abbot Zhao said, good intentions are rewarded.
However, when he thought of the reporter who made his heart beat, he felt vaguely guilty. Of course, it was just guilt. It was absolutely impossible for him to refund the money.
Judging from the current situation, these one thousand stocks are likely to become heirlooms and provide him with stable income every year.
In fact, for him, stocks are just a small fortune. What really made him rich were the two small islands in the Botang Sea that were awarded to him.
In the past, this was something he would never dare to think about. While he was overjoyed, he had already taken Qian Xundaotong to think about buying a boat.
Qian Xundao's Tong family was in the archipelago south of the Potang Sea. If she wanted to take her mother to the Potang Sea and become the owner of the island, she had to take over the island first.
Therefore, Chen Miuzhu discussed with her and planned to go over with Shu Chi, Liu Chujiu, and Lin Ayu to see everyone's new home. Of course, the premise was to buy a few boats.
As the elder of the soon-to-be-established Botang Pavilion Elder Hall, if there is no ship suitable for my status, can I be called the elder? Can I be considered the owner of the island? Where can I put my face?
On October 16, the Overseas Reclamation Company held a ship auction at Xiangluxuan in Purple Mountain, and auctioned hundreds of ships seized from the pirate alliance. These ships have not been repaired and are still in use.
The appearance after the naval battle was full of scars and the appearance was very ugly.
But Chen Miuzhu is an old seafarer. In his eyes, these ships are not damaged and are very easy to repair. Compared with their low starting prices, they are just like picking them up for free.
He spent 3,500 taels of silver to buy a large ship made of 500 materials, and spent another 3,500 taels to repair it, and it would be a fine ship.
Under his instigation, Qianxun Taotong also bought a seagoing ship worth 500 yuan, which cost him 3,000 taels of silver and almost emptied his family fortune.
Shu Chi had the support of his clan and was relatively generous with his purchases. He bought a 500-ton seagoing ship and two 200-ton patrol boats in one go.
Liu Chujiu and Lin Ayu didn't have much money, so they pooled their money together to buy a 200-year-old boat.
In this way, Botang Mansion has a fleet of three 500-meter ships and three 200-meter sea-going ships. When going to sea, they will definitely operate in a fleet, but when calculating the profits, each family will return to their own family.
This is also the old rule of merchants when sailing ships.
Chen Miuzhu originally wanted to buy another 200-tael seagoing ship, but he was snatched away by a little old man with a white beard. The old man offered 1,800 taels, which exceeded Chen Miuzhu's psychological expectations.
Afterwards, Chen Mianzhuhai was very unconvinced and told the other party face to face that the boat was too expensive.
But the old man didn't think so. He was in a hurry to use the boat. If he didn't buy it here, he would have to wait for at least half a year. If he was delayed for half a year, the loss would be far more than the 1,800 taels of silver.
Chen Miuzhu asked curiously: "Where do you always work?"
The other party replied: "The Daomen development crosses the mountains. I am developing the territory there. I have only been there for less than half a year. It is a time when all kinds of businesses are waiting for prosperity. I am very busy!"
He said he was worried, but in fact his face was glowing. Chen Miuzhu immediately complimented: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turns out that we are from the same profession, and we are all beneficiaries of the "Fiefdom Law". We can discuss it together."
The old man asked: "Are you also a pioneer in Hengduan Mountain? I wonder where you are?"
Chen Miuzhu could finally show off and said humbly: "Don't dare, I can't be called a pioneer. I have always respected the seniors of Hengduan Mountain and want to learn your spirit of hard work. I just have good luck.
It’s just sealing off the islands in the East China Sea.”
The old man was in awe: "It turned out to be the hero of the East China Sea War, disrespectful!"
After some conversation, it turned out that the old man's surname was Tong, and he was Tong Baimei. After half a year of development, Baimei Port has now reached two miles inland, with more than 180 residents and 1,500 acres of wasteland reclaimed.
There are more than 30 houses, and it is the first to meet the standards of overseas reclamation companies for third-level territory.
It's just that the third-level territory requires a one-year occupation time limit, so I haven't received the certificate yet.
In addition, due to the large amount of spiritual grass and spiritual flowers sold, Baimeigang made a lot of money, and his hands were really rich.
Tong Baimei went to Qinzhou Port at the beginning of the month and wanted to buy a seagoing ship, but was told that the order was already fully booked. If he placed the order now, he would have to wait until March next year to pick up the ship.
Qinzhou Port is now flooded with a large number of monks, all of whom are preparing to buy ships to expand territory south of Hengduan Mountain. It is understandable that they cannot buy ships, but the construction of Baimei Port is booming. Tong Baimei needs to recruit a large number of manpower and purchase a large amount of building materials, but
I can't wait for half a year.
I happened to see a notice in a journal that Yingtian was going to hold a ship auction, so I hurried to Purple Mountain and finally took a photo of one.
Tong Baimei invited Chen Miuzhu to have a drink, and left each other's contact information with each other. They made an agreement to exchange information between the two territories in the future, and then they took care of each other.
He went to Longjiang Shipyard to claim the ship and spent 180 taels of silver to renovate it. At the end of October, Tong Baimei left with the newly recruited sailors, a dozen street children and a well-paid gentleman.
