Chapter 732 Songshan City
Hubble started again with a group of younger brothers.
He said goodbye to his short military life. Although he had some unsatisfactory experiences in the army, he still had to be grateful.
This experience taught him a lot and broadened his horizons.
Of course, there was also a little relationship that he didn't know whether it would be useful.
Of course, the biggest gain has been obtained, and the others are just incidental.
Hubble took office this time and brought his good friend Orlik with him.
The latter also got the title of court knight this time through his own operations.
Of course, don't think it's unfair, they also invested a lot of resources in real money.
For example, when Hubble took office this time, Goode Trading Company once again made a large investment.
Goode is a shrewd businessman, so he is willing to invest in advance when Hubble, a potential stock, has a promising future.
People who invest successfully are always right.
The two of them bumped along the way and came to Songshan City.
Orlik was a little depressed. Although he kept telling himself not to be jealous, it was difficult to control his thoughts.
Hubble was actually somewhat aware of this, but he didn't care.
A little jealousy is human nature, as long as it doesn't affect the friendship between friends.
When he arrived at the small town that had just been named Songshan City, Orlik regained some spirit.
"Hubble, look at the surprise I prepared for you."
Since he decided to invest in his good friend, of course he had to invest heavily.
Hubble was very curious. He guessed that Orlik would prepare a gift for him, but what it was was worth looking forward to.
The predecessor of Songshan City was just a free territory. Even if it annexed some nearby villages and towns, the total population was estimated to be only tens of thousands.
So this urban area is actually very small.
So, he roughly guessed that it might be a freight company? Or fixed asset investment... such as a hotel.
But it was obvious that Hubble underestimated Goode's courage.
Although his status has risen now, he still can't understand what it means to be extremely rich.
Being able to get a title with money in a country where military merits are conferred, even if it is only the lowest level of title, can show the wealth that Goode has.
Olike finally regained some confidence. He took Hubble around for a long time before stopping a few kilometers away from the city.
In fact, when they were still a long way away, Hubble had already seen the buildings in the distance.
He had some vague ideas, and he was more certain when he got closer.
"Is this the airport?" Hubble blurted out.
"Yes, this is the airport, the first private airport in the New World. We have applied to the Air Force Department for approval. In the future, all the passengers and goods in the northwest can be transferred here." Olike obviously did his homework. He proudly said: "Population and transportation are crucial to the development of a city. This is a gift for you."
Hubble finally realized what it means to be rich. It can be imagined that this airport must be operating at a loss in a short period of time.
Not to mention that the shipping industry has not been recognized by everyone, even the transportation cost will not be low.
Of course, long-distance transportation of some precious goods will definitely not be at a loss.
The key is the time cost. I believe there are still some customers.
But the advertising effect and even the wealth accumulation effect brought about by this cannot be ignored.
"Thank Brother Good for me." Hubble used a very kind name, which made Orlik smile.
Under the latter's leadership, Hubble visited the brand new airport.
The current scale is actually not large, which can effectively reduce the operating pressure.
But there is room for expansion around the airport. The land here is not valuable. It is just a small investment for the Good brothers.
After the visit, Orlik said to him seriously: "Songshan City Airport is independently operated. It is my personal industry. My brother only owns a part of the shares. This is all the family assets I have accumulated over the years, so... I must not lose money!"
"Don't worry, it will never happen." Hubble is full of confidence, and he directly shows the charm of power: "I can give you an order now."
That's right, Songshan City established an administrative agency, not only taking over the local fixed assets, but also grants from higher-level agencies.
This is used to maintain Songshan City's expenses and is also the start-up capital for development.
The Great Xia Empire has never had the habit of sending hungry soldiers, and this amount of funds is sufficient.
So Hubble directly used Franz's relationship to purchase a batch of steelmaking equipment from the mainland.
He had already made up his mind to reprocess the resources and earn excess profits.
After all, the cost of ore in the New World is less than half of that in the mainland, and only a little processing is needed to get excess profits.
It just so happens that for Songshan City, a little more transportation cost is acceptable, and they want to get back their investment quickly.
And air transportation can shorten the transportation time of half a year to half a month, and the extra freight has long been earned back.
This can also be regarded as a kind of use of power. For the Good brothers, being able to get an order so quickly is definitely a good thing to start a business.
Olik waved his hand directly on the spot: "I will give you a 50% discount on the freight."
The two enjoyed this kind of cooperation very much, and they believed that there would be more plans for cooperation in the future.
There are too many opportunities for cooperation within the rules.
The reason why there are many cases of trampling on the rules is that greed has no end.
But at least now, the two young men, who are no longer young, still have ambitions that have not been realized.
…
When most of the new administrative officials took office, the situation in Canard had stabilized.
For the time being, the resources here are far greater than the population consumption, and they can enjoy the benefits of resources.
In the short term, the introduction of population is the main task of most administrative officials.
Developing resources and increasing tax revenue actually require population support.
Most administrative officials are from Daxia.
A large number of academic officials entered the officialdom, and after enough time of honing their skills at the bottom, they were sent to the New World to serve.
Some middle and high-level positions in the New World can also meet the requirements of the nobles.
In this way, a large number of middle-level official positions in the local area are vacant, giving academics more opportunities.
Although not everyone has high-quality resources like Hubble, at least they can stabilize the local administrative operation after taking office.
As long as the government's rule continues, there will naturally be no messy troubles.
So Qin waited for a few more months, and finally couldn't help the desire to return home.
