Chapter 34 Community
"Chairman, we will all work hard." Immediately, all the employees applauded.
"Chairman, one million is too much. I, Zhao Jiang, have not yet made a profit for the company, and I feel guilty.
Chairman, please reduce my salary to 500,000, and then give me the reward when the company makes money.
Then I will be proud to hold it." Zhao Jiang said.
"No need to say, it's settled. The general manager will make one million a year, the deputy general manager will make five hundred thousand. The heads of each department will make three hundred thousand a year, and the team leaders will make two hundred thousand..."
Next, Tang Wen instructed Zhao Jiang to trade the gold to major gold shops in Yunhai City in the name of the company.
The last time I traveled through time, I brought back 400,000 taels of silver. I spent 170,000 taels of silver as a donation for my title, and also spent some miscellaneous money.
The remaining two hundred thousand taels were exchanged for twenty thousand taels of gold, plus the more than one thousand taels earned from the mirror and lipstick, totaling twenty-one thousand three hundred taels of gold.
Because the international silver price has soared again, the exchange rate between gold and silver in Yunhai City has dropped to 1:45.
Tang Wen directly exchanged more than 10,000 taels of gold for 500,000 pieces of silver, and sold the remaining gold for 130 million.
However, after paying 30 million in taxes, only 100 million was left.
After injecting 30 million yuan into the company, only more than 70 million yuan was left to purchase cement and steel bars, and also to buy several large freezers and refrigerators.
This time, Tang Wen plans to bring back a batch of fresh pork, mutton, beef, seafood, etc., and eat them frozen in the freezer.
Otherwise, eating bacon and dried meat all day long would get boring.
Tang Wen called Song Qingyang again and ordered a batch of bows, shields, swords and bulletproof vests.
Because he wanted to equip another company of guards.
Here, he ordered another batch of mobile houses. This time, he planned to replace all the tents with mobile houses.
After all the trouble, more than 100 million yuan was spent.
"Zhao Jiang, have you used up the pills I gave you last time?" After finishing everything, Tang Wen called Zhao Jiang over.
"Almost done." Zhao Jiang nodded.
"Have you improved your martial arts?" Tang Wen asked.
"I've made great progress. I've now entered the ninth level of perfection. Even if I meet Jet Li I can still give him a few hits." Zhao Jiang said happily.
"Well, keep working hard and strive to reach the eighth level as soon as possible." Tang Wen nodded, passed the Cai Yuan Gui Zhen Jue to him, and gave him a batch of pills.
"Tang... Mr. Tang, you are so good to me. You give me a high salary and elixirs. You are as good to me as my parents." Zhao Jiang was a little excited, his eyes were wet. He knelt down and put his head on Tang Wen's thigh.
"Men don't cry easily. Get up." Tang Wen supported him and said, "Zhao Jiang, I heard Luo Jun mention it. You didn't retire from the army because of your injury. There seemed to be other reasons, right?"
"Mr. Tang, you are my elder brother, my dear brother, please let me kneel down." Zhao Jiang cried, hugging Tang Wen's thighs and crying very sadly.
Tang Wen did not force him to help. He reached out and gently patted his shoulder, "Cry, you must have been wronged. Have a good cry and vent your feelings."
"When I participated in the International Special Forces Competition, I made a bet with a nasty foreign guy. We fought in the ring, and whoever lost would leave."
"In the end you lost, so the reason was that you were discharged from the army due to injury," said Tang Wen.
"I'm willing to accept defeat! Although I, Zhao Jiang, love the life of a special forces soldier, I still quit.
However, I swore that I would defeat that guy once.
However, it has been several years since I retired from the army, and my skills have not improved at all.
This time, you gave me a chance, I believe, if I can practice for another two years, I will beat that stinky shit to pieces." Zhao Jiang clenched his fists.
"Okay, then I'll come to help you and watch that shit fall to the ground." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"I will! I want to bring glory to my country." Zhao Jiang stood up, his eyes blazing.
"I want a pistol, something small and exquisite that can be held in one hand, preferably one that can be equipped with a silencer.
Although it is basically not needed, it is still necessary for self-defense.
You have served in the special forces, so you should have heard of some foreign black markets." Tang Wen said.
"Of course, there is an underground trading market in our neighboring country, Afghanistan.
Back then, when we were on missions, the state provided us with funding, and we purchased guns from that place.
If big brother wants it, I secretly kept a handful and gave it to him." Zhao Jiang said.
Zhao Jiang delivered it in the evening. It was the M2000, a very famous gun produced by a US company. Tang Wen had used it during special training in his previous life.
"Haha, are you afraid?" Tang Wen said with a smile, holding a pistol.
"Don't be afraid!" said Zhao Jiang.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill someone with this gun?" Tang Wen asked.
"Kill him if you want. I believe that big brother is a good man, and the person he killed is a bad guy. If something happens, just say that it was Zhao Jiang who did it. I, Zhao Jiang, am willing to take the blame for big brother." Zhao Jiang said.
"Good brother! Haha, don't worry, I won't kill anyone. I just use it for self-defense." Tang Wen patted his shoulder.
"Brother, the company has moved to a new location and has been re-registered and listed under the name Tang's Sumei Group, and Hengjiang Trading Company is just a subsidiary of the group." Zhao Jiang said.
"You make the decision on these matters. Don't ask me how to do them. I trust you." Tang Wen patted him on the shoulder.
"I will never embarrass you, big brother." Zhao Jiang said with determination.
A month later, the customized bows and other necessary items were in place, and Tang Wen traveled back to Koh Samui.
It was discovered that exactly three days had passed in Da Chu time, and this ratio was quite accurate.
"Ding Dong! The eighth time you travel through time requires you to accumulate 350 points of popularity.
By then, the number will exceed 1,000. Once it exceeds 1,000, the system will be upgraded to 2.0, and some new functions will appear.
For example, a loaded luggage can stay in space for several hours."
People, I’m short of people!
Tang Wen was also very troubled and rubbed his forehead.
However, extending the pause time of the ceremonial space by a few hours would be of great benefit to me.
Unlike now, you have to uninstall it as soon as you travel back to pay your respects.
If there are a lot of goods, the warehouse is not enough.
If you can stay a few more hours, it will give you some buffer time to prepare where to put your belongings.
So, he asked Zhan Junru to call Zhan Dongwen, Ge Ziyun and others over.
"This time we brought back a batch of Western goods. I used the mountain-moving technique to move them into the warehouse. Dongwen, please arrange a group of people to dismantle all the tents." Tang Wen said.
"If it's demolished , where will we live?" Zhan Dongwen asked in surprise.
"Replace them all with the kind of prefabricated houses I live in. However, the ground needs to be re-prepared and poured with cement. In addition, drainage pipes, tap water, septic tanks, etc. need to be installed in advance." Tang Wen said.
"Our camp is quite large and requires a lot of cement," said Ge Ziyun.
"It's okay, enough." Tang Wen said.
In order to speed up the progress, everyone got busy.
The tent was dismantled and put away very quickly, and it was done in just a few hours.
Next, the excavators were digging underground pipes and ditches, which were completed in half a day. Together with the installation of water pipes, several days had passed.
At night, everyone had to sleep on the grass, the mixer was running at full capacity to mix cement, and the ground was watered overnight.
A few days later, the cement hardened and the assembly of the prefabricated houses began, and Tang Wen's steel structure iron warehouse also began to be constructed.
Dozens of thick iron pillars have been erected here. Fortunately, Chibafang already has an iron products processing workshop.
Tang Wen selected twenty or thirty experienced masters and trained them in welding, cutting and other techniques.
These craftsmen already had a certain foundation and learned quickly. After a few days, they had fully mastered the welding process.
Half a year later, several huge warehouses were completed, large enough to accommodate thousands of containers.
The two-story iron alloy houses have also been assembled and are placed around the camp.
There is a 20,000-square-meter square in the center for convenient gatherings.
A fountain pool was built, some flowers, plants and trees were dug up and planted, and the green lawn that Tang Wen purchased from Yunhai City was moved in.
A simple community emerged.
The two-story iron alloy house is six and a half meters high, and surrounding it in a circle is also conducive to defense.
If a large number of pirates really break through the barbed wire defense line, this iron house can still hold out for a while.
Once the gate is closed, it becomes a fortress like a steel wall.
The iron sheet alloys used in the batch of prefabricated houses ordered by Tang Wen are all thickened, and there are cast iron pillars between the prefabricated houses to reinforce them.
Ancient bows and arrows could never penetrate it. Even a dozen people lifting a huge piece of wood could hardly knock it open.
As for the fire guns of the Great Chu Dynasty, it would be difficult to blast open this iron house, unless a black cannon was used.
