Australian Storm 1876

  Chapter 87 Fast Freighter Tarzan

  Last night

  Mrs. Ovelia suddenly became ill and was sent to the Mercy Hospital in Valley Town overnight. Fiona Dennis followed her crying and crying. When others asked, she just shook her head and cried harder.

   early in the morning

  Sir Dennis and his entourage hurriedly arrived at Valley Town, accompanied by several white doctors, who conducted a careful examination and determined that;

  The Baroness is a hemiplegic emergency caused by excessive excitement. If she can survive it, it’s okay. If she can’t survive it, she can only prepare for the funeral.

  The existing medical conditions cannot treat such a complicated and serious illness.

  One sentence; pray for God's blessing!

  Fortunately

  At dawn, when the bright sun shines into the ward.

  Ovelia, the strong woman finally slowly awoke. She saw Sir Dennis with an anxious face, and her eyes showed infinite apology.

Sir Dennis immediately walked to the hospital bed and clasped her hands tightly with a pair of warm big hands and said; "Dear Ovelia, you don't have to worry about anything, as long as you recover from the illness with peace of mind. I'm here."

   heard this

  Ovelia suddenly turned around as if she woke up suddenly, saw Fiona with a dull face, and immediately her blood pressure rose sharply, and she fainted again with a sound of "e...".

   "Ovelia, Ovelia, my God, what's the matter with you? The doctor, come and see..."

  The doctor hurriedly checked, then rolled Ovelia’s eyes again, and said helplessly; "Sorry, the Baroness has ascended to heaven, let us pray for her!"

  Dockside

  The banners are displayed, and the crowd gathers.

  Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales, many leading figures came to see off. They were originally in Christchurch, and have recently been familiar with the operating status of various companies in the Red River Valley, checking account books and handing over personnel management matters.

  After all, they hold more or less equity in Red River Valley's subsidiaries, and they must send their confidants to participate in the management of the company and supervise each other to prevent the phenomenon of deceiving major shareholders.

  This is of great benefit to the management of Red River Valley's subsidiaries, but whenever there is management in it, corruption and bribery inaction, the first shareholder disagrees.

  Not to mention, some of the moths were found in more than ten days. There were more than 130 people, all of whom were the management of the original factories.

  Li Fushou was also speechless about this. He did not expect that there would be so many worms in just two or three years. It seems that there are still big loopholes in the management that need to be repaired.

  Neither the security department nor the black guard can manage economic production, nor do they have relevant experts who are good at finance and business management. They are blind spots in the supervision system.

  There is nothing to say about these scums. According to the circumstances of the crime, the experts should ask for family law, the people who should sink the sea, the people who ransack their homes, and those who should perform hard labor are thrown into the mine to perform hard labor.

  The up and down atmosphere in the Red River Valley is one of the most serious, and the operating efficiency of the enterprise has been significantly enhanced.

   "Asheng, Morita, you two butlers want to look after the house for me, and if it makes a mess after coming back, I can't spare you."

   "Master, you can come back soon!" He Shoutian was crying, and the purge in the past ten days scared him for fear that he would be implicated.

  Does he have any questions?

  According to the current situation, there must be some, and there must be some greed, but on the issue of loyalty, he is sincere and a good watchdog.

  Li Fushou let it go with a slight tap, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many white investors, but Li Fushou still tried to ensure that He Shoutian passed the customs, which made He Shoutian almost never kneeled to death at the entrance of the Red Fort study.

  Don’t mention the gratefulness in my heart, crying bitterly, said that I would never dared to stretch out my hand blindly.

  This is exactly what Li Fushou needs, so I just touched it lightly in his words. This is the trick for the superiors to balance power.

  Purge and purge, knock and knock, it is impossible to kill one's own watchdog, so that white investors can do whatever they want.

  It is better for the two sides to have a deeper contradiction, so as not to converge with each other.

  Compared with He Shoutian's **** and greed, Fan Asheng has been calm and generous after training in North America for more than a year. He is generally very disciplined in doing things consistently, which is really a surprise.

  With their two big butlers sitting at home, coupled with proper personnel arrangements, there is absolutely nothing going on in Red River Valley.

  On the dock

  Li Fushou and Speaker Edward hugged and bid farewell, behaving very close, like a pair of good friends.

  Before leaving, Edward entrusted his daughter Yelena to him, which meant that he would travel to Europe with Li Fushou, just to help do some entertainment within his capacity.

  The implication, let’s go through it yourself.

  Put the little white rabbit next to the big bad wolf. If you eat it, you will be a beast. If you pretend to be Liu Xiahui, you will be a beast.

  Li Fushou agreed one by one, then waved goodbye to everyone, and took his men onto the fast freighter "Taishan".

  After the long siren sounded

  "Tarzan" slowly left the pier, and gradually accelerated amidst the anticipation of the crowd and the loud sounds of gongs and drums, leaving a long trajectory.

  Stand on the side of the ship

  Li Fushou looked at Yelena's long blond hair swinging in the wind, and he couldn't help grinning, his expression was very happy.

  "Ms. Yelena, Mr. Edward suddenly gave me such a hand, and I was caught off guard. What do you think I should arrange for you?"

  "Please pay attention to your gentlemanly demeanor, sir."

   "Although this freighter has been specially modified, it has only one luxurious suite. Please forgive us for not preparing in advance. It is really not possible. Only the two of us were squeezed."

   "Huh, don't even think about it."

Yelena flicked her hair and left, leaving a word far away; "I know you are not so kind to give me the luxury suite. At least you will arrange a room with hot water for me, otherwise I will go to the cloth. Risban jumped down."

   "As you wish, miss."

  Li Fushou said this without thinking. He didn't know if he arranged a room that fits the identity of Miss Yelena, or he was willing to watch her jump down the river. No matter how he understood it, he was right.

  He came to the captain’s cab, and Geng Baogui led a group of crew members to bow and salute;

   "No need to be polite."

   "Thank you for the grace of the master."

Li Fushou came to Geng Baogui's body, looked at him up and down, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile; "Although it's darker than before, his body is stronger and he looks more stable. He studied in Manchester. It's still very effective."

   "Thank you, master, for being able to cultivate, and never forget your humble job."

"Okay, I know that you are a person of great righteousness, and what you do is in line with my liking, but there are some rules that I have to talk about. In my heart, I don't want to be impulsive in doing things in the future."

   "Master, I..."

  Geng Baogui raised his head and was already in tears. He was choked and speechless, and his shoulders were still twitching.

  Li Fushou patted twice and said; “Men have tears and don’t flick them lightly. You have to come back from school as soon as possible. Red River Valley needs a talent like you to stir up the beams.”

  "The humble duty will not humiliate the mission."

"good…"

Li Fushou looked at Zhu Qingxi and Wu Gang standing next to them. One of them served as the deputy captain and the other as the navigator. Both of them were carefully trained talents. "You two are also more mature than a year ago. Brush it down, do you have any complaints in your heart?"

"Thank you, the master for your careful training of us. We only have deep gratitude. No master can support us in the Red River Valley. Our compatriots still have to endure the bullying and exploitation of others. We are determined to be loyal to the master with this heart. The world can be learned."

   "Okay, let us work together to do something to make Australia a paradise for our compatriots."

   "The humble ranks wishing to be attached to the master's tail will be our lifelong glory."

   "Let's encourage each other!"

   Pouring some spiritual chicken soup for Yigan’s staff to inspire fighting spirit, Li Fushou left the cab with satisfaction and returned to his luxurious suite.

  These tens of thousands of miles are long and long, but some have struggled.

This fast freighter "Taishan", specially modified for the European trip, has a displacement of 3650 tons, adopts a twin-shaft and double-blade design, and has two huge sail masts, one in the front and one in the back, which can be used when sailing in the ocean. The power speeds up and saves coal.

  The ship uses a 5000-ton ocean-going freighter steam-powered boiler, which can reach a speed of 16 knots for a long time, which is 60% faster than an ordinary freighter.

  The maximum speed can exceed 19 knots when using sail power.

  The long voyage from Australia to London is tens of thousands of miles away. It takes a one-and-a-half month for an ordinary freighter, and the Tarzan can arrive within a month.

  The same period

  The design of the Taishan fast ocean freighter is similar to the 10 “Elbe-class” fast cruise ships built in Germany at the same time, all of which are put into operation on the Atlantic route.

The "Elbe" has a tonnage of 4967 tons, a length of 133.96 meters and a width of 14.66 meters. It is equipped with a three-cylinder compound steam engine, single-shaft propulsion, and a maximum speed of 17 knots. It can carry 150 first-class passengers and 90 second-class passengers And 1,000 cabin passengers.

  The fast freighter "Taishan" has undergone extensive modifications. In addition to setting up large luxury suites and conference rooms behind the cab, many separate cabins have also been rebuilt using redundant locations.

  In the only three cargo warehouses, a separate cargo warehouse at the front is transformed into two upper and lower floors of wooden structure cabins to provide many comfortable living units.

  The other two large cargo compartments also have top covers to fight against the stormy waves along the way and protect the safety of important passengers.

  This way

  Fast freighters can transport a large number of goods or a large number of people, and both parties can meet the needs.

Li Fushou’s trip to Europe this time has a total of 276 entourages. In addition to housekeepers, maids, secretaries, security guards and a high-level entourage, there are also a total of 200 young students who have gone to study in Europe, all aged between 15 and 17. It is the outstanding one selected by the Red River Valley Affiliated Middle School.

  They will enter various famous universities in Europe, study finance, science and technology and military knowledge wholeheartedly, and return to the country after completing their studies to contribute to the development of the Red River Valley.

  In the future, this kind of talent training will continue. Every year, a group of outstanding students are selected to study in Europe. All the expenses are borne by Red River Valley, that is, the principal Li Fushou pays his own money to cultivate talents.

  These students have a respectful name for Li Fushou; the principal.

  With so many people traveling to Europe for a long distance, the round-trip cost of taking a cruise would be an astronomical figure, and it would almost be possible to buy the fast freighter "Taishan".

  Take the famous British White Star company fare as an example on the most popular Atlantic route in the world today;

The conditions are similar to those of Li Fushou’s exclusive luxury suites on international cruises, including washrooms, servant rooms, reception rooms and special restaurants. The one-way fare reaches £3,300. It is extremely luxurious and belongs exclusively to the top nobles and dignitaries. For the nobles, you can even enjoy a Turkish bath in the dedicated bathroom.

  The price of second-class luxury suites is between 600 and 780 pounds, the price of double living cabin is between 245 and 290 pounds, and the price of large cabin is about 32 pounds. The price is very high.

  The voyage from Australia to Europe is even longer and longer, and most people don’t dare to care about the expensive fares, and most of them are to take a freighter. Although the living environment is much worse, and you have to risk your life, after all, the price is cheap.
