Chapter 52 The Plum Flag of Sino-Ocean Group!
When Yang Qing heard Zhang Futu say this, he quickly thrust: "Mr. Zhang doesn't dare to say this. If others listen to this, it would be a taboo."
Zhang Futu gently slapped himself in the mouth: "You just pretend that I'm a mean, you've never heard of it."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Our boss is finally going to get married, it's a big happy event."
Zhang Futu smiled and said, "It's so amazing. Who would have thought that our boss is only twenty years old this year. Tsk tsk, at the age of twenty, this career..."
Zhang Futu was amazed.
Yang Qing was also quite moved: "When I see my boss, I always feel that I am living as a dog at this age."
Zhang Futu also sighed: "Who isn't?"
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Go, come to my place and have some drinks!"
Zhang Futu invites.
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Is there any tea?"
Zhang Futu said in surprise: "Don't sleep tonight?"
Yang Qing smiled bitterly and pointed at the bustling appearance outside: "Do you still want to sleep?"
Zhang Futu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Yes, just drink tea. I just wake up, but I feel uncomfortable tomorrow, and I have to drink tomorrow."
When the two entered the room, there were no simple rooms in Fanlou. At the lowest point, they all started with a luxurious courtyard. As the general manager of Quanzhou Shipyard, Zhang Futu was considered the president level, which was the business trip treatment he could enjoy.
The two of them sat on the comfortable sofa chair, and Yang Qing couldn't help but sigh: "In recent years, good things have emerged one after another. Look, there are many good things in food, clothing, housing and transportation."
Zhang Futu nodded: "That's true. Let's talk about clothes first. In recent years, a kind of cotton coat has appeared on the market, not made of Panzhihua, but a kind of cotton. It has excellent warmth and is very cheap."
Hearing Zhang Futu say this, Yang Qing smiled on his face: "Do you know where this cotton comes from?"
Seeing Yang Qing's appearance, Zhang Futu was shocked: "It wasn't you who introduced it?"
Yang Qing smiled strangely: "Yes, it's right."
Zhang Futu: "..."
Yang Qing smiled and said, "Actually it was not my credit, it was the boss' order.
When my boss was sailing in Oceanwide Group for the first time, he specifically told me to collect some seeds.
Including rice, cotton, peanuts, tomatoes, etc., some of them have not yet been found, but cotton has been found.
In recent years, the Agricultural Bank of China has planted large-scale plants in Liangzhe Road, Jinghu North Road, Jinghu South Road and other places.
That's why there are good and cheap cotton coats and quilts on the market.
Not only that, China Ocean Group's exports now have a considerable share of cotton products.
Cotton products are indeed very popular in Japan, Liao and Western Xia.”
Zhang Futu sighed: "The momentum of Oceanwide Group in recent years is so amazing. I don't think it will be better than West Lake City in the future?"
Yang Qing quickly waved his hand: "Where is it, Xihu City has been building a large number of projects in various parts of the Song Dynasty. Xihu City in various parts is almost all local economic centers. Such strength is not comparable to that of Oceanwide Group."
Zhang Futu laughed and scolded: "You are boring now. Others don't know, can I not know?
Every year, the ships in my shipyard are taken over by the Oceanwide Group. It is a big ship worth 5,000 yuan. Other maritime merchants are jealous and beg their grandpa to sue their grandma and ask me to give them a few ships.
But you ordered the ship before it left the factory. How many ships have been there over the years?
If this continues, all the maritime merchants in Dasong are not as large as those in Oceanwide Group, right?
You are not afraid that they will be jealous, so you can stab you in the back?"
Yang Qing smiled: "Do they have less stabbed us?
You don’t look at how many pirates we have suppressed over the years. Those are not just pirates, but they are just those people at first glance. We don’t say it straightforwardly. If you dare to offend us, then just suppress us.”
Zhang Futu laughed so hard: "Don't they know how awesome the escort of the Ocean Group is? How dare Tai Sui get into trouble?"
Yang Qing laughed: "Some people can't see the situation clearly. At the beginning, they wanted to use the power of the official to deal with us. After I reported to my boss, the backstage of the maritime businessmen was soon dropped. At that time, do you remember the boss' impeachment and sent away a Beijing official every month?"
Zhang Futu said in surprise: "Are those Beijing officials the backends of those maritime merchants?"
Yang Qing nodded with a smile: "Ninety-nine. The backstage of those maritime merchants collapsed, and they still didn't give up. They chose to go barefoot and fight to kill us at sea. They even joined forces with the pirates in Japan and the South China Sea to kill us in one fell swoop.
But I am not completely unprepared. I am waiting for your ship in the more than a year since I was preparing for Oceanwide Group.
At that time, in addition to preparing goods and contacting cooperative merchants, some of the time was actually arranged for the guards.
The escort of the Ocean Group is not simple. At that time, the central bank's banking supervision guard sent a team to train the sailors I recruited. I have never seen the imperial guards before, but the wing army is a group of farmers compared to them.
Sure enough, after going into the sea, these trained sailors had a strong fighting ability, but the first few sea battles were fierce."
Yang Qing sighed a little emotion: "At that time, we lacked experience in naval combat, and had not tested our navigation skills, naval combat tactics, and practical combat capabilities. We were beaten in a hurry at the beginning, but fortunately, our personnel had high training level, so we could hold on."
"Severe casualties?"
Yang Qing nodded silently.
The more awesome the Ocean Group is today, the more tragic the blood shed at that time.
The environment that pioneers face is so cruel.
“…But later we accumulated experience and they couldn’t beat us.
Let alone provoke us now, those maritime merchants are eager to pay us protection fees now.
Our current guards basically do not follow the caravan. On the one hand, it is because our sailors have very high training level. They are actually the same group as the guards. With sailors there, they are not afraid of ordinary pirates.
The guards are now suppressing bandits in the sea. Not to mention the islands near the Song Dynasty, the islands in the South Ocean have been cleaned up by the guards. Now, the Song Dynasty sea merchants have hung the plum blossom logo of the Ocean Group, so no one dares to mess with them.
Of course, those maritime merchants secretly hung up, but they wanted to pay protection fees to us in order to qualify for hanging plum blossoms, but Ocean Group is not short of this amount of money, so they can only hang up secretly.
Actually, we all know these things, but just pretend that they didn’t see them. The boss said that they were all from Song. As long as they do business honestly, there is nothing wrong with protecting them."
Zhang Futu nodded repeatedly: "The boss's awareness is high, no wonder he is a celebrity in front of the official family."
