Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The homes of the crew members of the expedition fleet are all in the mainland. If you seize the time, you can go home for the New Year. Naturally, you can return home as soon as possible.

    The citizens of Luzon were reluctant to let them go, and were extremely enthusiastic to keep them, and even asked them to become their sons-in-law behind closed doors.

    Phew, what a beautiful thought!  The crew members are now worth twenty to thirty thousand taels. Everyone is a rich man. Who wants to be a son-in-law?

    In the end, the Governor-General came forward and stated that members of the ocean-going fleet would hold a nationwide parade next year.  I will definitely invite them to come and have a good chat with you for a month or so, okay?  Mr. Zhao endorsed them again, and the people of Luzon reluctantly let them go.

    So on the seventeenth day of the winter lunar month, the fleet continued to sail back north.

    But not everyone went back. Many of those researchers stayed in Luzon, seizing the time to turn research projects into results.

    Especially those engaged in animal and plant research, none of them returned to China.  One-third of the animals and plants they brought back had died due to the long voyage, and they were not suitable for domestic breeding and cultivation.  So it is more important to stay here and help them adapt to their new home quickly.

    Zhao Hao asked the Governor's Office to specially approve two pieces of land for them in Yongxia City, one to establish the Luzon Zoological Research Institute, and the other to establish the Botanical Research Institute.

    ??Especially the latter, he has high hopes.  Because the millions of seeds brought back by the fleet include 12 types of rubber tree seeds, 20 types of cinchona seeds, 8 types of cocoa seeds, 15 types of coffee seeds, as well as corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cassava, pumpkins, tomatoes,  Seeds of peppers, peanuts, sunflowers, tobacco, cashew nuts, upland cotton, pineapples, beans, avocado, American ginseng, papaya, etc., and hundreds of South American crops and cash crops.

    Zhao Hao allowed the Botanical Research Institute to take one-tenth of each sample for trial planting next spring.  In order to increase the survival rate and allow these babies to settle in Luzon as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to have the research institute build a glass greenhouse to prevent the temperature in Luzon from being too low for some tropical plants.

    He had surprisingly high expectations for these crops and ordered the Institute of Botany to be given the highest security treatment - that is to say, there is a security brigade of a thousand people dedicated to the security of the Institute of Botany.

    This makes everyone look at the Institute of Botany with admiration. They wonder what amazing wealth and secrets this place where flowers and plants contain, why the young master actually wants to spend so much money to protect it.

    Zhao Hao doesn¡¯t need to explain, because all independent research institutes are supported by the Singularity Fundthat is, he pays for them out of his own pocket.

    Of course, he could ask Jiangnan Group or Nanhai Group to provide the money, but then he would have to explain to the increasingly professional board of directors and the increasingly troubled supervisory board why the money was spent. He would also have to draw up a plan and be audited at any time.  It's very troublesome and not conducive to confidentiality.

    So Mr. Zhao simply made the scientific research system independent of the group, and it was operated solely by Singularity Fund and was responsible for its own profits and losses.

    The full name of Singularity Fund is ¡®Singularity Science and Technology Investment Fund¡¯, which is 100% owned by Singularity Investment Company.

    The main assets of Singularity Investment Company include Zhao Hao¡¯s 34% stake in Jiangnan Group, 26.32% stake in Xishan Group, and his 11.48% stake in Marco Polo Bridge Group, accounting for more than 90% of Zhao Hao¡¯s assets.

    Zhao Hao continuously injects Singularity Fund through Singularity Investment, maintaining ten companies including Xishan Island Research Center, Jiangnan Ship Research Institute, Kunshan Agricultural College Research Center, Jiangnan Medical College Research Center, etc., both large and small, but they are all burning money.  What a great research institution.

    Excluding the two in Luzon, the annual scientific research expenses of all research institutions are as high as 2.5 million taels, which is almost 1.5 billion yuan in future generations.

    Even if Zhao Hao has gold and silver, he can't afford to burn money like this.  What's more, those gold and silver mountains belong to the group and do not belong to him personally.

    At first, he could only rely on selling stocks or mortgage loans to fill the hole. Fortunately, the "April stock market crash" in the fifth year of Longqing made him make tens of millions of taels, and he can maintain this till now.

    Fortunately, Mr. Zhao adopts a method that combines industry, academia and research. When the research produces results that have practical value, he joins a partnership with a subsidiary company of the group to realize the results.  The research institute is responsible for issuing patents and technical personnel, and the company is responsible for production and sales, and then distributes profits as agreed.

    After years of exploration and adjustment, this path has become wider and wider.  Last year, the fund shared a profit of 1.9 million silver through this method.  That is to say, while scientific research funding is increasing day by day, net expenditure is shrinking, and only 600,000 taels of Singularity Investment Subsidy is needed.

    This is enough to make Mr. Zhao very happy. Finally, he no longer has to sell iron to borrow money from his wife. He can only rely on the dividends from the three groups to maintain the operation of the fund.

    ¡°And there is still more than 100,000 taels of silver left, which can be used as money to open a house Oh no, it is convenient to use private money.

    Thinking of this, Zhaop; So the fleet continued to go north.

    At this time, Zhao Hao and Xiao Zhuzi were almost sticky enough, and then they remembered their good friend Xuelang, who was also sailing around the world with him.

    He felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly sent someone to ask for Master Xuelang. Unexpectedly, the guard went there and reported back that Master Xuelang stayed in Luzon and did not board the ship again.

    This made Zhao Hao very surprised. Why did the noisy monk change his temperament so much that he no longer wanted to compose poems by himself and was still hiding from him?

    ¡°Isn¡¯t it because he is so handsome that he was used as daily necessities by the hungry crew members on the vast sea?

    Thinking of this, Zhao Hao was very anxious and quickly asked people to find the Special Branch personnel hidden among the crew.

    Although the so-and-so disembarked in Morocco with his men, there were still many Cote members lurking in the fleet, secretly monitoring the movements of the fleet.

    Fortunately, the people from Teke reported that Master Xuelang was not attacked by Super Friendly. He just said that he had some enlightenment and had to sit through death and understand it.  I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true, or because he exposed his secret in Lin Feng Strait and is too embarrassed to see him?

    We can only wait until we meet again in the future.

    ??~~

    Laba arrived in Naha 10 days later.  There he was also warmly welcomed by the Ryukyu people.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    ????????????????????????????????? There are many crew members in Ryukyu who are sweethearts, and they have given birth to many children.  The crew members actually have more feelings for this place than Luzon.

    ?????????????????????????????????????? But time is tight, so I can only make a long story short, work hard, and wait until there is more time in the future to talk about anything else.

    On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the fleet set off again, heading for the last stop of this long journey - Pudong, Shanghai!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
