The Fourth Financial Crisis
Chapter 169 Shen Xiaotao
The Haiya Fleet consists of 38 ocean-going merchant ships.
Except for Han Fulai's flagship [Ruicheng], the deputy flagship [Yuxiang] has the largest displacement in the entire fleet.
According to the naming rules of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce's ocean-going fleet, merchant ships starting with the word Rui are the largest super merchant ships of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. Although merchant ships starting with the character Yu are slightly smaller, they are often flagship-class.
In fact, the Yuxiang was not originally an ocean-going merchant ship responsible for the outlying island trade route. For more than ten years, the Yuxiang has been sailing on the interstate route "Zhongzhou Haiya Port-Huoyunzhou Yangjiang Port". As a The main flagship of the Huoyunzhou trade fleet.
When the Haiya Department was preparing to reinforce the outlying islands, the Yuxiang happened to be temporarily resting at Haiya Port, so it was assigned to the Ruicheng and became the deputy flagship of this Haiya City special fleet.
The Haiya Chamber of Commerce's main flagship [Yu Feng], which was originally responsible for outlying island trade routes, is currently included in this temporarily formed fleet. Just because the displacement of Yufeng is slightly lower than that of Yuxiang, it can only serve as the third ship of the fleet after Ruicheng and Yuxiang.
Although the flagship Ruicheng has a larger displacement, in order to take care of the lives of the cultivators Mr. Master and Manager Han, the Ruicheng not only has the necessary sailors to operate the ship, but also carries many chefs and maids, and is equipped with equipment such as "moisture-proof fairy" "Array" and "Pure Water Immortal Formation" and other extremely luxurious sea living facilities, ordinary soldiers and sailors are not qualified to board this luxurious sea palace.
As a large-scale armed merchant ship dedicated to combat, the Yuxiang carried nearly a thousand conscripts from Haiya City. Shen Xiaotao of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was one of these 1,000 conscripts.
Shen Xiaotao was originally a newsboy at Pan's Trading Company. His father used to be a laborer at the Haiya Port Terminal. However, he became permanently disabled due to an accident. Although his life was temporarily safe, he still had to be taken care of in his daily life.
With a job like a newspaper boy, even if you have enough food and clothing, you can barely feed yourself. With a disabled family member, even though Shen Xiaotao works very hard, he still has enough to eat.
Fortunately, Shen Xiaotao is one of the very few newsboys who learned to read by selling newspapers. With the help of Murong, a comrade who sold newspapers together and later joined the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, he learned the headline-grabbing method of selling newspapers, which made his life easier. some.
It's a pity that the house leaked and it rained all night.
The winter that just passed was so cold that his father, who was already in poor health, fell seriously ill.
In the Jiuzhou cultivation world, if you get seriously ill, you can only seek treatment from a cultivator. However, if you want a cultivator to spend his spiritual energy to treat ordinary people, it will cost at least several yuan of spiritual stone coins. If you add the cost of post-conditioning body, I am afraid that even ten yuan of spiritual stone coins will not be enough. This can be regarded as a cultivator. A common means of exploiting mortals.
Shen Xiaotao originally wanted to shamelessly ask Murong for help, but was told that Murong no longer worked at the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. When he asked about Murong's specific whereabouts, the staff of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce were all tight-lipped.
Although he failed to achieve his goal, Shen Xiaotao was told that the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was recruiting management trainees and needed young people like him who could read and write and whose family background was clean. If it were another chamber of commerce, Shen Xiaotao would most likely think that he had encountered a fraudster again. However, the Qingning Chamber of Commerce was different because it had indeed recruited Murong, a newspaper girl he was familiar with, to work there.
With the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live doctor, he signed up for this so-called management trainee program of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, Shen Xiaotao will definitely not place all his hopes on the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. At that time, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce was recruiting volunteers to support the front lines of the outlying island war. It is said that ordinary mortals only need to undergo two months of military training and fight overseas with the Haiya Fleet for one month, and they can immediately receive a cash allowance of 60 yuan of spiritual stone coins. If he unfortunately dies in battle on an outlying island, his family will receive a huge pension of hundreds of dollars.
For ordinary Haiya City residents with per capita annual disposable income of less than 20 yuan, this is definitely an opportunity to get rich overnight, and more importantly, the Haiya Chamber of Commerce also provides superior conditions of payment upon signing. As long as the registration is passed, you can immediately receive a signing fee of 30 yuan, and the remaining remuneration will be settled after the war is over.
So Shen Xiaotao signed up to participate in the Outlying Island War at the same time.
According to his idea, as long as one of the two jobs can be approved, his family's financial situation will be greatly improved. Unexpectedly, both of his job applications were approved.
This is very embarrassing!
For Shen Xiaotao, whether it is the Haiya Chamber of Commerce or the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, they are giants that he cannot afford to offend. No matter which contract is broken, the consequences are beyond what a little newsboy like him can bear.
Not to mention the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, if an ordinary mortal tears up the contract signed with the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, it is no different than seeking death!
The person in charge of the management trainee project of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce is Steward He Mingyuan, known as "He Yanwang".
According to rumors, Manager Yonghe has always been known for keeping his eyes open. Not to mention such vicious events as breaking the contract, even if the public expenses of a few cents of spiritual stone coins are not reimbursed as required, Manager He will definitely leave your whole family in the gate of hell. Take a trip.
Even the lower-level members of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce talk about He Mingyuan with both respect and fear. They are afraid because He Mingyuan is too cruel to his subordinates, but they respect him because he is even more cruel to himself!
It is precisely because He Mingyuan has always held himself to the standards of a saint that several close subordinates, represented by Li Feng, almost regard He Mingyuan as an idol and hang it on the wall. It is precisely because of the ascetic behavior of He Mingyuan and his group that the atmosphere of the entire Qingning Chamber of Commerce has been lifted.
When Shen Xiaotao took the Haiya City recruitment contract he signed and explained the situation to Manager He Da, several of He Mingyuan's close subordinates looked at him like he was looking at a dead person, which almost made Shen Xiaotao wet his pants.
However, something surprising happened.
When He Mingyuan heard about the difficulties in Shen Xiaotao's family, he had no intention of blaming him.
He said on the spot that Shen Xiaotao's behavior was not a breach of contract. He could receive two salaries from the Haiya Chamber of Commerce and the Qingning Chamber of Commerce at the same time. He could participate in the military training of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce in the morning and come to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce to learn business knowledge in the afternoon. He Mingyuan's close subordinates couldn't believe their eyes at this generous and merciful expression.
They even suspected for a time that their manager He Da, who was "not as close as the father and mother to the Chamber of Commerce", had been taken away by evil monks.
Shen Xiaotao was so moved that he burst into tears on the spot, repeatedly saying that he would never live up to He Mingyuan's expectations. Even if he worked two jobs at the same time, he would definitely be better than other management trainees.
However, Manager He just smiled gently and told him that this was what Consultant Yang of the Qingning Chamber of Commerce meant. He wanted to thank Consultant Yang, but not He Mingyuan.
Since then, Shen Xiaotao has lived a life of three points and one line.
In the morning, he needed to participate in the Haiya Chamber of Commerce's routine military training for mortal conscripts. In the afternoon, he needed to participate in the business knowledge tutorial given to him by He Mingyuan alone. In the evening, he had to go home to take care of his paralyzed father, who had almost no time to rest.
As the Haiya fleet pulled anchor and set sail for the outlying islands, Shen Xiaotao also asked He Mingyuan for a long leave, paid a large sum of money, and handed over his father, who had just recovered from a serious illness, to the care of a familiar colleague, and then embarked on the journey. An unpredictable trip to an outlying island.
