Side Story: Little Thomas and His Uncle (4)
VIP Author: New Oriental's primary two (senior high school students, I hope you give a good ......)
Another storm had come, and now its aftermath was not over, and the white clouds were tossed swiftly by the wind.
The warships of the Hantang Group are as safe as Mount Tai in the ups and downs, and now the security team members on the ship can bathe in the sun after bathing in the rain, and the sky is also hung with a gorgeous rainbow.
Pilgrimage between the islands of Brunei Wan,
Thousands of miles to Taiwan for ten days.
The wind and waves in the South China Sea can't stop,
The battleship has passed the sky.
I don't know who is twittering and engaging in literary activities, saying things that white children can't understand, but I know that the rhythm is very good......
Little Thomas was now standing on the deck of the battleship, and next to him stood his uncle.
It was those in light blue who saved themselves!
He had a nightmare just now!
It was as if he had just stepped out of the cabin, and it was dark, but the glow of a full moon illuminated the entire deck and the sea.
And at the end of the line of sight, there was a solidified, white wall of water, a vertical wall of water.
The captain who had rescued him stood motionless in the moonlight, his face blue and his expression strange.
At this time, a humpback whale jumped up on the surface of the sea, revealing its hollowed-out belly!
But it was able to leap to its feet, its body blocking the moonlight, and it flicked its fan-like tail and swooped down on the captain!
At the same time, its body smashed into the deck like a small mountain, and the whole ship exploded like a pomegranate cracking, spewing out piles of white whale fragments!
Little Toms fell into the cool water!
He opened his eyes and found Mr. Captain floating motionless nearby, with a terrible fangs pierced through his leg, and what was his mouth saying?!
Little Toms couldn't move for some reason, he was unconsciously breathing in the seawater, but his lungs were tight, and he couldn't support it!
He took a breath to the surface, and when he looked up, it was a crescent moon that was still bright like a wolf's teeth.
Little Tom somehow felt a sense of terror, and he wanted to scream...... Ah, when he woke up again, he still saw the ball of warm yellow light embedded in the white plaster, but he couldn't feel the shaking anymore.
Outside the window were the trees, dense shadows swaying in the wind, sometimes pierced by the bright harsh sunlight.
Little Tom sat up, sweating profusely, and he was now feeling cool.
He turned his head to look around, and there was a transparent bottle hanging next to him, with water in it and a soft tube attached to the back of his hand, and he didn't dare to move if the medic had told him not to move.
Was it true just now? Little Toms thought about what had happened. Whaler? Humpback whale? Storm? Mr. Captain? Shipwreck...... Little Thomas has a sense of unreality.
The child's ability to recover is amazing, and ordinary drugs have an unexpected effect, and there is no need to go to the Re-Chi Medical Center......
Later, little Tom's condition improved little by little, and he was even able to go to the deck to get some fresh air.
Seeing that little Thomas was getting better, his uncle was very happy, and he could only ask the people of the Haian warship for help, and was willing to ask them to help him, because he was going to trade with the Hantang Group...... He had heard others say that they protected and obeyed their merchants.
God willing, they really saved little Toms, may God bless them!
His livestock had not been badly damaged in the previous storm, and he quickly completed the handover with the people of the Han Tang group. He deposited the money in the bank first, and then took little Toms to the city of Re-Chi for a walkaround.
During his stay here, he wanted to travel around Taiwan and look for business opportunities.
Everyone has said that in this place, as long as you are willing to follow their rules, you can always find an opportunity to make a fortune.
Street trees are planted on the main streets of the city of Gerancho, but they are mostly low fruit trees that provide shade to pedestrians, and there is fruit production at the time of year, but there are no mango trees, which are annoying in bunches of flowers.
They made it possible to eat as many fruits as they pleased, but not to pick unripe fruits, and only one person could pick one, a rule that was now well enforced.
There are coastal orchids planted on some streets with more people, speaking of which, they are still bred from the batch of coastal orchids that were rescued by the women of the Hantang Group, and I heard that they can repel mosquitoes, which may be true, there are really few mosquitoes in this big city.
The people of Hantang Group are good at repelling mosquitoes, and they are also good at repelling flies, mice, cockroaches, etc., is this because the area is generally clean enough?
You can't see the swarms of rats you often see on the streets of London and Paris!
Little Thomas and his uncle walked down the street here, and there were many new things on the street, but there was no nervousness in the slightest.
This must be a paradise, they welcome foreign businessmen, and there are foreign language directions on the street signs, so it is easy to know the way.
On the street there are all kinds of cars, there are "pot camel machines", burning charcoal; There is a "big flywheel", and there is still the fragrance of stir-fried vegetables when you walk by; There is a "small ball heat engine", I don't know what is going on, these cars are walking in the center.
There are extremely light rickshaws, animal-powered carts; It's amazing that the bicycle doesn't fall down even though it only has two wheels...... These cars take "non-motorized lanes".
Businessmen carrying burdens, hurried "office workers", laid-back locals, walking on the sidewalk.
At the intersection of the road there are patrol officers who wave small red flags, small green flags, and pedestrians and vehicles of all kinds are under the command of this flag.
In short, it's fascinating to observe all of this, it's like a delicate anthill, busy but not clogged.
Little Toms and his uncle were convinced that the rules of the Han Tang Group were clever and flexible, and that they made traffic extremely efficient throughout the city, especially after they saw that the patrol would change the time of raising the flag due to the different conditions of each lane.
Little Tom and his uncle came to the Geranja market, where they wanted to see what new things were being produced. They now see patrols passing by from time to time on the streets, and of course they know that they must listen
From their orders, otherwise the result must have been terrible.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Nowadays, the streets generally leave stalls for hawkers, and the stall owners are subject to hygiene inspections and are levied a tax calculated on the number of stalls occupied, once a day.
In the market, butchers, fishmongers, and other fresh meat sellers need to apply for a fixed stall, and technicians may check them at any time.
Vegetable vendors, or grain vendors and others choose non-fixed stalls, because vegetable vendors are often farmers and there is no demand for fixed stalls, but I heard that in recent years, many farmers have chosen to sell grain, vegetables and vegetables to supermarkets, and Hantang Group said that it is natural.
Not far from the market, it is a concentration of various business companies in Taiwan.
At that time, almost all of the merchants who bought the right to use the land for ten years built small buildings with several floors and registered companies.
Nowadays, they almost do not sell goods directly in the building, but display the color of the goods, customers place orders on the second floor, and the major merchants in the warehouse area of the port will call up the ordered goods and have them delivered by the logistics company or the company's logistics department.
With the development of commerce, the division of labor became more refined, and names such as "dealers", "logistics companies", "warehousing companies", and so on appeared that had not been heard of before, which may be a natural change brought about by the development of business.
Now, whether a centralized company completes most of the business processes or an assembly-line multiple companies complete the collaboration, Hantang Group has no final conclusion, let the market verify it by itself, and the effect is the only criterion for testing the truth.
At present, it seems that Taiwan's business machinery is working well, and there are no problems such as mutual conflict, of course, there will still be commercial disputes, but in such an efficient society, these problems are easy to solve.
Little Tom and his uncle feel that the life of the people here is definitely the most colorful in the world.
During the day, they can go to the market to pick up all kinds of goods, they can go to the sports field of the square of Nareranza to participate in or watch football, badminton and other games, and they can listen to the loudspeaker to play the story...... is actually a real person on the other side of the story!
Little Tom didn't understand, but he swore he had to learn them!
Hantang Group people promote various agricultural technologies at regular times, and there are also news broadcasts and weather forecasts twice a day.
At night, the night market has all kinds of food stalls, green buildings and other entertainment venues, and street lamps can illuminate all this.
The most incomprehensible thing is that they can change the image of action on a white cloth!
It's really just a white cloth, but the material is slightly different, and all kinds of things can be reflected on it, and it is said that a film company is going to make a "documentary" about catching the dragon...
While little Toms and his uncle were intoxicated with the so-called movie, in a private room in a restaurant, two men were drinking and chatting.
The two of them were ordinary two of the many merchants, and they walked inconspicuously on the streets.
"Manager Ma, how have things been going lately?"
"Chengniu manager Guiyan, recently our company has built 5 large cargo ships, Nanyang to come and go, a lot of profits. Recently, I want to build that whaling ship again, but now there are the Pan family whaling company and the Zheng family whaling company, and we don't know how our business is. ”
"Manager Ma, but it doesn't hurt to do it, to be honest, my company also wants to go on this project, although his Zheng family and Pan family are rich, they can't suppress us, there is no need to worry about monopoly, we have the protection of Hantang Group's regulations...... If you have something, you can go to a lawyer. ”
"This is a very good statement, and the board of directors of our company also thinks so, so it seems that I am too cautious, and the Zheng family and the Pan family will not be able to block me from entering and leaving their port, and they will not dare to send people to make trouble.
Next time, I'll wait until the restaurant has a drink? Don't be in this unknown place......"
"The consumption level there is too high, why don't Manager Ma go to the night market food stalls now? Although the decoration is not exquisite, it also has a unique flavor. ”
"Very good! Go ...... now."
The two of them came out and called the tricycle driver and asked them to take them to the night market!
They have not been around for a long time, or they still owe a loan from the bank, how dare they spend like Dingyuanhou...... There are too many different levels.
In the night market, two big men, gulping beer and eating meat skewers, everyone can talk endlessly, talking and laughing.
One night, one table, one lamp.
Lamb, beer, pho, oysters, two cups, two seats, two people, this is called the real double cool!
Little Thomas and his uncle returned to the inn with some good food and fun, they knew that there were luxury hotels, but they were too expensive to stay in such a place...... The shopkeeper here is a Jew, and he is always afraid that they will steal his soap...... And it's always like looking at a thief, looking at the residents here, once I see the Ming people, I immediately have a stammering look on my face, and I hate it.
