A few days later, Duan Fei and Chen Ping completed the handover. Looking at the list of several pages long, the iron-blooded man who dared to kill alone in the gang had to say that he admired. From this list, it can be seen that in just one year, Chen Ping has completed all the layout from nothing, and now, the basic skeleton has been completed. All I have to do is to enrich it, optimize it, and make the tentacles of this big network more delicate and flexible.

Then, the two selected the assistants who set out for Europe, the Far East and even the distant Americas and Africa. In this way, the tentacles of this large net could begin to extend outward with these fires.

There is just one thing that the two of them don't understand, that is, when they went to Master Li to name the organization of this network, they actually got a name that no one could understand the meaning. The name was only three words.

"Kkob."

What do you mean? No one knows that they are all confused, but according to the small internal report, after the young master got his name, he hid in the room and laughed for a whole day.

Since the name was given by the young master, everyone can only start to operate with this name that no one knows. However, after all, they are a group of invisible people. What does the name matter?

Li Mo was originally going to wait for Thomas to start the auction before leaving the United States, but that guy was obviously addicted to building momentum. He threw out a big iron mine, threw out a coal mine, and learned all his own things. So he met George and talked about finding a big oil field in the shallow area of the Gulf of Mexico, and even later. After the surveying, mapping and development, Li Mo embarked on the road to Hawaii with six newly launched cargo ships, together with thousands of other personnel.

The four-day turbulence on the sea is enough to make many people who are not familiar with the ocean soft. Although Master Li is not on the list, he was the first to rush out of the cabin after the ship landed.

"It's worthy of being a holiday paradise in the back city!"

Li Mo, who had just got off the ship, took a deep breath and looked at the white beach around him in the bright sunshine, as if he had seen the scene of coming here for vacation in his previous life.

Two years ago, I'm afraid that if I killed Li Mo two years ago, he would not believe that he had the opportunity to return to Hawaii at the end of the 19th century!

At this moment, the busyness of the first port in the Pacific Ocean has not yet appeared. In the huge Pearl Harbor, there are more than a dozen cargo ships docked sparsely, but the tonnage is quite large. It is not that kind of offshore boats, but most of them are flying the American flag, and only a few of them are flying the flag of other countries. Li After a few glances, he even saw several cargo ships flying the Japanese flag.

"It's a pity that there is no one without the Qing Dynasty. This is the gap! Do it! [Date] It seems that if the young master comes a step later, this place will really be taken over by the Americans!"

Master Li stood in the bow of the boat and looked into the distance. Originally, he wanted to try to point out the country, but a small head appeared behind him and pushed him out of the hatch.

"Young master, is this Hawaii? Why is the sun still so strong in winter? The little head came out of the cabin, as if it was scared by the fierce sun, and quickly shrank in. After a long time, it came out again.

"Yes, this will be our home in the future!" Master Li laughed. In the eyes of everyone, he forcibly hugged the little girl in his arms and said with a smile, "Silly girl, there is no winter or summer here. The weather is like this all year round, so people call it the pearl of the Pacific Ocean!"

"Ah! It's like this all year round, so will I get tanned?

I didn't wait for Xiao to speak, and another head came out of the cabin, but this little head was not so easy to mess with. Master Li, who stared at the tofu, then published his first sentence.

"Women in the world are just like..." Master Li.

As the following cargo ships arrived at the port one after another, the people who came to Hawaii first came to the dock one after another to welcome the young master. Li Fu and others also quickly got off the ship and looked at the scenery around them, which was very different from Canada. They stopped to check one after another, pointing out from time to time, which was more lively than later tour groups.

"Let's go, or we will become onlookers." Master Li hugged the little girl's thin waist, regardless of the little girl's blush and ears struggling desperately, and took the lead in walking towards the crowd that had been waiting for a long time.

"Big horse monkey?" Duan Yueer looked around puzzledly and found that the inside and outside of the dock were already full of people. It seemed that the arrival of six brand-new cargo ships had caused a sensation.

Thinking of not leaving again, I really wanted to become a big horse monkey in the mouth of the stinky guy. I quickly accelerated my pace. When I crossed Li Mo, I didn't forget to turn my head and hum, and then proudly jumped away.

"Huh? Dare to stare at the young master! I have to clean it up. You wait!" In the face of flying white eyes, Master Li was furious. In everyone's eyes, he "chasing" the past.

Naturally, there are others to take care of the procedures after the ship's arrival at the port. Master Li will not care about such idle things. Under the guidance of Chen Ping, he soon came to a private garden not far from the port.

The garden villa is built halfway up the mountain, covering an area of hundreds of mu. It can be seen that its former owner knows how to enjoy it very much. Not to mention the area and those flower gardens, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money for the villa, which is all made of granite.

The person who received him was Lin Yongxiang. He was an old man brought out by Chen Ping. It turned out to be the procurement supervision of the Guangzhou Marine Division, that is, a small official in charge of logistics. Later, he was later incorporated into Beiyang. Because he was too straightforward as Chen Ping, he offended the Shangguan. Fortunately, Chen Ping's help was not dismissed in the end, but he also became a Qing Dynasty. Soldiers sweeping the camp.

Lin Yongxiang was not the kind of material to lead troops to war, and he did not show off his original ability. The reason why he went to Beiyang to be a soldier was just for a living. After the dismissal and demoted, he wanted to leave immediately. At this time, Chen Ping had an accident, and he spent a lot of thoughts to save people. Later, Chen Ping and Long After Guozhang escaped, he also gritted his teeth and came out with him.

Nowadays, the supervisor, who is familiar with logistics, has become one of Chen Ping's most important assistants. With the delivery of cargo ships ordered in the United States, Li Mo set up a Pacific Freight Company and chose the registration place in Hawaii and handed it over to Chen Ping. Lin Yongxiang became Chen Ping's assistant, plus this The next six ships, now he has eleven large ocean-going cargo ships under his hands.

From nothing, from a robbed German boat to now with more than ten large ocean-going cargo ships, Lin Yongxiang watched Li Mo turn over the clouds with one hand and built his own family in two years. At the same time, he was shocked by Master Li's unpredictable means. At the same time, he couldn't help but rise. Looking forward to it.

Since Lin Yongxiang was also an acquaintance, everyone didn't greet him much. Especially after a few days of bumps on the sea, everyone was also a little tired. After arranging everyone, Chen Ping took Lin Yongxiang to Li Mo's room.

Master Li's room is naturally the best. Not only is it sunny, but also from the balcony, you can have a panoramic view of the whole Pearl Harbor. Although it is dark at this time, the bright moon is hanging high and reflected in the harbor, which is a little more artistic than the artificial light source used to seeing in the previous life.

Seeing the two of them coming, Li Mo hurriedly welcomed them to the balcony. After asking Xiaoxiao to make coffee for them, he immediately let the sleepy girl to rest first.

"I'm not used to this. It's better to have tea!" Xiaoxiao was not around to serve, and the three of them also wrote casually. Lin Yongxiang smiled and took the initiative to make a pot of tea before sitting down again.

"Do you know that you two must come to me? What's the matter?"

One is the boss of his future super company, and the other is the right-hand man. He will definitely not only come to drink tea when he comes to him so late, so Master Li is also free and easy. After taking a sip of coffee, he asked directly.

After looking at Chen Ping, Lin Yongxiang said nervously, "Young master, there is nothing wrong with the Spaniards, but I'm afraid you can't take down the land behind you mentioned?"

"Can't take it down?" Li Mo looked at Lin Yongxiang and frowned, "Why?"

Seeing that the young master just frowned, Lin Yongxiang, who thought he would be scolded for doing things unfavorably, was a little more relaxed. He quickly took out the whole picture of Oahu Island from his arms and spread it on the table. Seeing this, Chen Ping also quickly took the candlestick in the room and put it aside. As the map was slowly spread out, the attention of the three people were also focused on this small one. On the map.

"This is the shipyard and plantation that the Spaniards will sell to us." Lin Yongxiang spread out the map, took out a pen from his pocket, and circled in the southwest of the port. I have measured that this land and the shipyard are about more than 30 square kilometers. Although they are all mountains and hills, and the quality of the sugar cane garden is not good, we don't plan to grow sugar cane, so it's nothing. But the young master said that the passage from Pearl Harbor to the western sea must be opened, so we must pass through here, here.

Lin Yongxiang drew two thick lines with the tip of his pen, clicked twice, and continued, "The other places are better. The land here is not suitable for planting. Those small farmers are a little moved when they hear that we pay several times the price. I believe that after taking the shipyard and the large land here, even if they don't sell it, we There is nothing to do under the squeeze. Sooner or later, I will give in, just this part near the seaside. Lin Yongxiang went north along the seaside and drew an oval circle: "This is what I bought. The quality of his sugar cane garden is not as good as ours, and I promised to exchange it with him for a better one on Maui Island, but it was worn out of his mouth. No matter what the price he offered, he was unwilling to sell it."

"Say it to me?" Li Mo's heart suddenly jumped twice. It seemed that he was not the only one who was in this treasure. It seemed that the plan that he was going to smash a piece of the sky with money would not be so smooth.

"Yes, it's a man named Onojun. I heard that he is still a nobleman." Lin Yongxiang added that when he saw Li Mo's strange face, he thought he was unfavorable, so he said again, "In addition to here, other places are still smooth. We still circled a few plots of land in Maui, Hawaii, and Kahulawe Island, but those places can only be used to grow sugar cane. If we want to use it for other purposes, I'm afraid I'm afraid I can't!"

"Well done." Li Mo nodded, looked away from the map, and looked at Lin Yongxiang.

Lin Yongxiang in front of him is almost 40 years old. Perhaps his temples have turned white with his wandering over the years. Although he can't buy all the land he wants, this guy has some ability to do so many things in such a short time.

Thinking of this, Li Mo's heart moved and said, "Yongxiang, how many cargo ships do you think I need if I want to control the ocean trade volume of the Pacific Ocean?"

As soon as he spoke, Chen Ping looked at Li Mo in surprise and didn't understand why the young master suddenly changed the topic. And Lin Yongxiang's head is not enough. In peace, everyone said that Master Li's thinking jumped a lot, but it was not so amazing, was it? Were you still calculating to buy land just now? Why did you jump on the freight company at once? It also controls the trade volume of the Pacific Ocean! God, he doesn't think the Pacific Ocean is only as big as a foot basin.

Fortunately, after taking over the fleet, Lin Yongxiang really thought about it carefully for a period of time. After thinking about it, he bravely said, "Young master, I have not calculated the control of trade volume. Although the current total cargo volume in the Pacific Ocean is less than one-third of the total amount of the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean is really too large. The coastal countries So much, once it develops, I believe it will be more promising than the Atlantic Ocean!

If you want to seize the advantage as soon as possible, then based on our current ship carrying 3,000 tons, it will cost at least a few hundred. Of course, it is best to have the kind of ships with 5,000 tons of cargo that the Americans have just launched. In that case, there will be more than a hundred ships, which can also dominate this water area!"

"A hundred ships!"

Chen Ping rolled his eyes when he heard it next to him. Why didn't Lin Yongxiang see it before? How can you have such courage and mind?! However, the funds needed for more than a hundred new ocean-going cargo ships are probably astronomical!

Lin Yongxiang finally finished his words. He looked at Li Mo uncertainly. He didn't say a word. He just looked at the harbor in the distance and didn't know what he was thinking and didn't dare to disturb it. Fortunately, after a while, Master Li broke the silence: "I thought of a new way of freight during this period. Can you listen to it? What the he said.

Master Li once again shamelessly pirated some experiences and methods of container transportation in later generations, but he is also a layman, not a professional. He can only talk about it. Fortunately, it is just standardization. The two points of containerization are enough to make Chen Ping and Lin Yongxiang. The eyes of the people who deal with the sea are shining.

"Why did the young master suddenly say this?" After listening to this, Lin Yongxiang's heart suddenly jumped. Before he could speak, Li Mo had already said his thoughts: "Brother Yongxiang, I want to take care of all the Pacific freight to you. Can you do it for me?"

This sentence made Lin Yongxiang suddenly feel hot all over his body.

In addition, the young master brought it today, and now there are a total of eleven cargo ships. Pacific Freight Company is now rich in family, and at this time, shipping is still a profitable business. With the increasing volume of maritime trade in the Pacific Ocean, plus the kind of selling money in the size of a box mentioned by the young master just now. The way, what Lin Yongxiang saw was not a cargo ship, but a gold ship.

This is fat! If he can manage such a company, Lin Yongxiang can directly upgrade from Chen Ping's assistant to Li Mo's unique figure!

Especially Lin Yongxiang, he also wants to do a full-time maritime business from the bottom of his heart, but this kind of thing is not something he can decide. Now the young master has opened his mouth, and he is so happy that he quickly said, "Thank you, young master, Yongxiang will definitely do a good job!"

Seeing Lin Yongxiang's excited face, Li Mo smiled and said, "Don't thank me first. I'm giving you a target." After saying that, he stretched out five fingers and waved back and forth: "Ten years, I'll buy you a boat, or after the shipyard is expanded, we can still make it ourselves, but ten years later, you must bring me a Pacific freight company that can control 50% of the trade volume of the sea!"

"Do you dare to go next!" After Li Mo finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Lin Yongxiang.

"Fifty 50%?" This is not a small number. Although Lin Yongxiang is also confident, at this time, he is still a little hesitant, but thinking that he has been working around for so many years, isn't it just to have a good future? Now that the future is in front of us, are you still hesitating?

Thinking of this, Lin Yongxiang gritted his teeth and nodded: "I'll do it!"

"Ha ha, Lao Lin, congratulations!" Seeing Lin Yongxiang nod, Chen Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder to congratulate him.

"Hehe..." Lin Yongxiang touched his head and smiled like a child, but soon he seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped and said, "Young master, a Chilean warship came a few days ago. I heard that it was going to the Far East and visit our Qing Dynasty and Japan. I wanted to ask again, but I didn't expect to run away the next day after adding coal, so So I didn't inquire about it all.

"Chilean warships? What are you doing in the Far East? Li Mo was stunned for a moment and soon forgot about it. He said, "Leave the map, you all go and have a rest!"

Soon, as Chen Ping and Lin Yongxiang disappeared outside the door, Li Mo stood up and looked at the land circled by Lin Yongxiang on the map. His face suddenly became gloomy. After thinking about it, he suddenly clapped his hands. In less than a moment, two big men in black appeared in his room.

"You two, go to touch the one named Onojun these days and see what the origin is!" Li Mo threw the map to one of the men in black.

"Yes."

Soon, two shadows disappeared into the deep twilight harbor.
