I make a living solving crimes.

The area of ​​Nadao is 2000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to one-third of Tongliao.

Since the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi Ocean and Nadao Island have been used as the boundary between Dongda and foreign waters. Any ship coming from foreign countries will enter the territory of Dongda after passing Nadao Island or Jiaozhi Ocean.

After the Qing army entered the pass, thousands of soldiers and civilians who were unwilling to obey the Qing Dynasty went to Southeast Asia and began to multiply and thrive on this island.

Zhang Jiexu, a native of Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, established a kingdom on Na Island before the Dutch invasion of Java.

In addition to the reason of Namdaemun, Chang Wei came here because he had no good feelings towards Java.

People who are a little older should be able to remember Black May in 98.

"After you three arrive on the island, you must scout out the island's organizational structure, ethnic composition, beliefs, land, resources and other information. In five days, the Ying family's ship will come to pick you up and take you to Lionfish."

Ji Xiaowang looked at Chang Wei in surprise and said, "Team Leader, you don't want to take this place back, do you?"

Wu Jimao suddenly became excited, "Open up new territories, this is opening up new territories..."

Chang Wei mercilessly interrupted his fantasy, "What are you talking about? This has been our territory since ancient times. What does it have to do with expanding territory? This is at most a disputed territory. We just took the initiative."

Li Laifu was much more stable than them. After listening to Chang Wei's words, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, team leader. We know what to do."

"Well, once we find a suitable place to live, I will apply to my country to arrange for immigrants to come here. As long as there are 10,000 of our people here, we can completely control this island. At that time, whether it is a military struggle or a referendum, we will have the advantage."

"Ok."

"Remember, five days from now, come back to this beach."

"clear."

Chang Wei dropped the man off the shore and rode the small boat back to the ship.

......

At that time, Lionfish had not yet established an independent country, but was only an autonomous state. Mr. Lee was trying hard to form a federal government with Malaysia.

His father was from Guangdong and went to Southeast Asia to make a living in the late Qing Dynasty. He first settled in the Lan Fang Republic. After the country was destroyed, he crossed the strait and came to Po County. He received British education since childhood.

Interesting fact: The Lan Fang Republic was the first republic established by Chinese overseas and lasted for 110 years.

Chang Wei didn't have too many ideas about Po County. Unlike Natuna, it already had a complete administrative system. Moreover, it had been colonized by the British for many years, and the people's ideas were deeply rooted, which could not be simply explained by a Chinese.

Mr. Li was an active anti-communist in his early years.

Walking on the streets of Po County with his little yellow dog, he looked at the surrounding scenery with great interest.

In terms of living habits and architectural styles, this place is simply a low-end version of a port city, but thanks to its unique geographical location, it has already taken shape as an international trade transit station.

This is also the purpose of Chang Wei's coming here.

One is to bypass the lionfish, shake off its tail, and head to Ryukyu and Japan in a different way.

Second, he had more than one million pounds in his hands, which he was ready to exchange for food here.

After all, the Ying family is a prominent family in Hong Kong. They have to take all aspects into consideration when doing things. Even if they have sufficient funds, they cannot be too ostentatious when purchasing food.

Chang Wei doesn't have these concerns, he doesn't even have to consider the issue of transportation capacity.

With twenty acres of white space, he only needs to pile it ten meters high to carry one hundred thousand tons of rice. If that is not enough, he can use points to expand the capacity.

In a foreign company in the commercial district, a comprador who was over 40 years old enthusiastically invited Chang Wei to come in for a talk.

"What's your surname, sir?"

"Steve Rogers." Chang Wei answered in English.

The comprador's eyes lit up. Although Chang Wei was obviously Chinese and too young, he could speak with a pure old London accent and used a British surname, so his family must be wealthy.

In order to avoid the war, many wealthy Chinese businessmen immigrated to Britain since World War I.

"Mr. Rogers, how can I help you?"

"I need to purchase a batch of rice." Chang Wei sat sideways in the chair, his fingers running across the edge of the ceramic cup of black tea beside him, revealing a scornful smile.

The comprador was stunned for a moment, then immediately ordered the clerk to replace the high-quality tea and brew it again. He stood beside Chang Wei, bowing and apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, sir. This is our negligence."

Chang Wei waved his hand nonchalantly, "Let's talk about business."

"Okay, sir, how much rice do you need to purchase?"

"Twenty thousand tons, this summer's new rice."

The comprador took a deep breath and said, "Sir, this is not a small amount."

Chang Wei looked at him playfully, "What? Is there a problem?"

The comprador calculated in his mind, "Sir, when will you need it?"

"One week. I can give you one week."

"Sir, this time is too urgent."

Chang Wei tilted his mouth and smiled.

This is Southeast Asia, a place where three crops can be harvested a year. Although there is a lack of good seeds and fertilizers due to the backward economy, it is not difficult to raise 20,000 tons of grain.

At most, the poor will eat less.

But what does it have to do with Chang Wei? He is just a businessman.

"If you are embarrassed, forget it. I will try another foreign company."

After saying that, he stood up and tried to leave, but the comprador quickly stopped him and said sternly, "Mr. Rogers, we are Taikoo Foreign Company here. If we can't do it, no one in Po County can do it."

He secretly glanced at Chang Wei's face and asked, "Sir, what will you pay with?"

"Pounds, cash." Chang Wei sat down and thought for a moment before saying, "According to convention, I can pay you 30% of the deposit first, and the balance in full when you inspect the goods."

"Okay, no problem." The comprador hesitated for a moment and said with embarrassment: "But your time is a bit tight, so the price may be slightly higher..."

Before he finished speaking, Chang Wei stood up again and said disdainfully: "I originally wanted to purchase another 3,000 tons of rubber, but it seems that I can only find another foreign company to cooperate with."

When the comprador heard this, he almost knelt down.

The profit of grain is not high, and products related to people's livelihood cannot have high profits, but rubber is different.

There are rubber plantations everywhere left over from the colonial era.

After the war, the economic boom had not yet begun and the demand for rubber could not be increased.

Chang Wei asked for three thousand tons.

Three thousand rubber trees are needed to be twenty years old, and only one ton of rubber can be harvested in a year. To produce three thousand tons of rubber, ten million rubber trees need to be planted, covering an area of ​​one hundred thousand mu, and nearly 20,000 agricultural workers are needed.

Any rubber plantation owner would be willing to kneel before such a customer.

At this time, the foreign manager of Taikoo Trading Co., Ltd. had already trotted to Chang Wei and said humbly, "Sir, no problem, the price of grain will be according to your request."

What racial discrimination? As long as he has money, Chang Wei can make him lick the dust off his leather shoes.
