"Second brother, look, who are these people?"
Zhao An forwarded the information to Fang Diwei and said: "Imperialism will never die..."
Fang Diwei took a look at it, and forwarded it directly:
"I have transferred these materials to the Jiangcheng police. They will be responsible for the investigation of this case. Those who should be arrested will be sentenced!"
"Is there anything else you can ask for?"
Zhao Andao: "Actually, it's okay, I can rest assured that my second brother will handle things."
Fang Diwei turned to ask other things: "Only corn can be grown in Africa?"
Zhao An smiled and said: "That can't be helped, it's the dry season over there, it's good to be able to grow corn, although now we have improved the desalination device,
A lot of underground water sources have been found, but the relatively hot climate... can only grow corn. "
......
Fang Diwei laughed and said: "You have misunderstood a lot, we have many heat-resistant and drought-resistant food varieties, which can be introduced to Africa.
There are also sunflowers, which are originally grown on the grasslands, don't you need to grow corn alone? "
Zhao Anxin said happily: "Then I have to try..."
Chapter 729
There are so many drought tolerant food crops besides corn.
Zhao An imagined a scene of golden sunflowers blooming in the Sahara Desert in Mauritania.
It must be magnificent and magnificent...
"Now that the sandy land in the northwest can be controlled, what do you plan to use it for? The climate in the northwest is better than that of Africa, compared to the planting industry." Zhao An asked.
Fang Diwei smiled and said: "It's not up to me to decide. If it were me, I would prefer to grow some rice or wheat, and of course I might also plant some corn.
Although the yield of chestnut rice is not as high as that of rice, corn is more resilient to land that has just been converted from deserts. "
Corn is also millet, also known as white millet, indica millet, and hard millet.It is one of the earliest ancient grain varieties planted by Chinese people.
It is rumored that it evolved from the dogtail grass through artificial selection...
Zhao An said with a smile: "It's okay, we can use more variety. No matter how the grain pattern changes this year, we can remain invincible if we have grain in our hands."
Fang Diwei's eyes lit up, and he said with a half-smile, "Oh, what reliable sources does Boss Zhao have?"
"Isn't that obvious?"
Zhao An raised his eyebrows and said, "At the beginning of the year, there was actually such an argument that a certain unscrupulous country was trying to raise food prices again."
Fang Diwei put away his original expression, and said with a slightly heavy voice: "This is not groundless. There are a lot of data showing that today's food security is indeed not optimistic.
Once the food crisis in the second half of the year is formed, it is very likely that the impact will not be eliminated until this time next year. "
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, just do your own thing well, and it's not our turn to worry about it."
Fang Diwei said goodbye and left. Zhao An was taking out his mobile phone to check the changes on the Internet, but Xu Wenqian came in and reported: "Mr. Zhao, as we gradually accept Nuo Yade's 28 stores, the pressure on management has doubled."
"Should we appoint a vice president in East China to manage the business in the Yangtze River Delta region?"
Zhao An went to Shanghai before and bought all Noyad companies under Ai Qingrou in one go, including all the stores and businesses under her.
Among them are jewelry and jade, antique calligraphy and painting, and other miscellaneous antiques, all of which Ai Qingrou was good at before.
It would be great if Ai Qingrou or Jessica could stay and help...
Zhao An thought to himself, and asked, "Who does Mr. Xu think is more suitable?"
This is the approval of Xu Wenqian's proposal, and the right to nominate has also been handed over to her.
Xu Wenqian thought for a while and said, "Looking at the resumes of the company's senior management, I think Zhu Xiancheng is more suitable."
Zhu Xiancheng was originally in charge of the business of the Shencheng branch, mainly dealing with salvaged materials salvaged from the Changfeng, and he was also the general manager in Shanghai who was in charge of contacting Nuo Yade.
Later, Zhu Xiancheng was mobilized, but Zhao An still recognized his ability.
Thinking of this, Zhao An nodded and said: "Actually, it's okay. Zhu Xiancheng is still very stable and capable, but if you want him to be the regional manager, you still have to give him the title of vice president of the head office. Otherwise, such a large area cannot be controlled.”
"I think so too..." Xu Wenqian said just right.
Zhao An: "Okay, let's make this decision. The company is developing rapidly, so we must boldly recruit new people, and vigorously promote employees with outstanding abilities and talents.
In addition, the training of employees should also be strengthened. Our goal is to become a world-leading enterprise, a cross-industry, and a world-class enterprise across regions. "
"I know, Mr. Zhao..." Xu Wenqian never felt that Zhao An was bragging. Over the past year, Zhao Andro's extraordinary ability proved what he said was true.
Zhao An added: "Are there any difficulties for the 28 new stores?"
Xu Wenqian said: "In view of Miss Ai Qingrou's management of Nuoyade before, the store's situation is not bad, and the reserves of jewelry and jade are very sufficient.
However, in terms of antiques, we are relatively lacking. Except for some outstanding hailao porcelain, we do not have other top-quality treasures that can be sold. "
In fact, it is true that antiques are precious because of their scarcity. Zhao An himself is still looking for some better calligraphy and paintings, planning to use them to decorate his private museum.
He pondered for a while, then said: "I remember that there are six companies that also sell antiques, right?"
"Yes..." Xu Wenqian nodded in response.
Zhao An stood up from the high-back chair and said, "Well, you and I will go to my private collection next to me, find six items, put them in those six shops, and use them as store treasures and special items. Indicates that it is not for sale."
Xu Wenqian knew that Zhao An had a private collection, but since it was built, Xu Wenqian had never had the chance to visit it nor did she get Zhao An's permission to visit it, so her curiosity could finally be satisfied now.
Although she's not a particularly curious person...
Going downstairs with Zhao An, and stepping into the collection hall with few guards but all-round cameras without blind spots, Xu Wenqian was immediately dazzled by all kinds of treasures under the lights.
Porcelain with unique shapes and gorgeous colors;
Magnificent and finely crafted gold;
Moisturize the heart, elegant and simple jade;
There are many more gold coins of all kinds and various periods.
Zhao An pointed to hundreds of pieces of priceless blue and white porcelain and said, "Just these porcelains, you can pick whichever suits you."
But Xu Wenqian's eyes were attracted by the animal heads of the zodiac, and she said with a dull look: "This thing... oh no, these treasures are originally from Mr. Zhao... Are they genuine? "
"Of course it's the real thing. It took me a lot of effort to bring it back."
Zhao An laughed and said, "But don't think about these treasures, they will be donated to the Palace Museum in a few days."
Blue and white porcelain is also a national treasure, but in comparison, the animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs in the Yuanmingyuan have a certain symbolic meaning.
Xu Wenqian's eyes lit up again when Zhao An said that she would give it away as a gift, but she didn't say much, and instead picked out porcelain.
"Are these blue and white porcelains real?" Xu Wenqian couldn't help but wondered when she saw so many blue and white porcelains.
Zhao An laughed, and said: "Of course the real thing is the real thing. With my wealth, I don't even bother to collect fakes, but these blue and white flowers are not strictly Yuan blue and white flowers.
Their actual age is slightly earlier than the Yuan Dynasty, but it is enough to be exquisite enough, and the age is not important. "
Chapter 730 Suspicious Clouds
"At this time, the blue and white porcelain technology has initially reached a certain level of skill, and the later peak period of Yuan blue and white porcelain was also developed on this basis."
Zhao An explained to Xu Wenqian.
What he didn't say is: moreover, they are also the funerary objects of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Yuan Empire. They must have been selected from the most exquisite and exquisite blue and white porcelain...representing the highest level of porcelain making at that time.
Xu Wenqian looked at it while estimating the value of these porcelains.
First of all, we can't pick the most expensive ones. These porcelains are undoubtedly Zhao An's treasures, enough to be handed down from generation to generation.
Although it is only used as the treasure of the town store, as a non-sale item, Zhao An's considerations still have to be scrupled.
Secondly, you can't pick the worst ones, as this may lower the grade of the store. There is a difference between Yuan Qinghua and third-sixth-nine grades, so it can't be underestimated for nothing.
In the end, Xu Wenqian selected 4 pieces of porcelain, and replaced the rest with a gold handicraft from the Solomon period and another piece of jade.
"I think this gold ornament and this jade article are also very good...should play a corresponding role." Xu Wenqian explained to Zhao An.
It is an ancient gold ornament without too many complicated craftsmanship and complicated patterns, but the casting craftsmanship and style can reflect the casting level at that time, and the overall feeling of time precipitation brought by 3000 years is presented.
The jade wares are made of very exquisite Hetian seed jade, which is also a rare masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.
"It's okay, Mr. Xu's vision is still okay."
After Zhao An had seen it, he yelled outside again: "Huang Shiyang!"
"To!"
A capable man came out from the shadows. This is one of Wang Bing's comrades in arms. They are responsible for the daily security of the collection.
Zhao An ordered: "Pack up these few things and send them to Shencheng in person with Mr. Zhu Xiancheng and Mr. Zhu of the company later."
He considered that Zhu Xiancheng took these treasures to take up the post, which should play a good role in establishing the prestige of the vice president of the group.
The packed things are all ready-made. When these treasures were moved, even the packing tools were brought over from the Tranquility.
Huang Shiyang greeted, and brought a few more comrades in arms. Under Zhao An's personal operation, he took out the porcelain from the safety glass cabinet, and packed them one by one.
The same is true for the other two gold and jade wares.
"Just don't bother the second master, and pack those animal heads, anyway, they will be sent to Yanjing in a few days." Looking at the busy people, Zhao An suddenly said on a whim.
Anyway, he had already planned to donate it, and Zhao An didn't have any thoughts of nostalgia.
Looking at the few people who started packing again, Zhao An said to Xu Wenqian: "I won't go to the donation ceremony in a few days, and you will do it on behalf of the company."
"Ah, why?"
Xu Wenqing was very surprised that Zhao An didn't go to such a good event in person.
Zhao An raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to stay at home with my wife..."
Well, this is the reason on the surface. In fact, Zhao An deliberately wanted to keep a low profile, and he didn't want to appear in the public's camera, and he also found it boring.
Anyway, no matter what, the final limelight is still his, and the official media will still give him the name of doing good deeds without leaving a name.
Moreover, Zhao An had promised Li Zhiyuan that before she gave birth, he would try not to go too far and would spend more time with her.
After arranging these two things, Zhao An asked Huang Shiyang and the others to continue to close the library, and open it again when they need to pick up the goods.
Back in his office, Zhao An received a call from Tarek.
"Boss, the situation is not quite right recently. There are many people from the CIA in central cities such as Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo..."
Tariq Hui reported: "And the official staff seemed to be deliberately nervous, but I didn't notice any bad news, but I felt that the other party's intentions for coming this time were a bit strange."
Brasilia is the capital of Brazil, located in the south-central part of Brazil.
Zhao An frowned and said, "Dominic has intercepted any information? It's about the CIA."
Dominic is now half of Zhao An's direct subordinate, but when DT needs it, he will still ask him to share information. After all, the Internet is one of the largest sources of information.
Tariq replied: "This is the strange thing. Dominique responded that the CIA is basically normal, and there is no operation against the Brazilian area."
As usual, there must be demons, and Zhao An also felt that it was not a good thing that so many CIA agents suddenly stationed in Brazil?
But he still raised a question he hadn't noticed before: "How can you be sure these people belong to the CIA?"
There is no name engraved on the forehead of the other party, and there is no logo, let alone a loudspeaker to say where he came from...
Tariq responded: "We had one of their defectors in our organization who accidentally recognized one of the other members ... in Brasilia."
"Then we tracked and investigated, and based on the camera information, we concluded that this member had contact with many strangers, so we estimate that the CIA has sent a lot of people here recently, and they seem to be elite...very elite. .”
Zhao An: "Your stalking hasn't been discovered, has it?"
Since he is an elite agent, stalking and anti-stalking are compulsory courses, so it is easy for DT people to follow him for no reason.
Tariq said: "There is a high probability that we will not be discovered. We are acting together with people from the Joint Capital Command and the Red Command. It is only our official personnel who have not heard specific information."
Zhao An pondered for a while, but he didn't have a clue, and he couldn't figure out what the CIA was doing.
"Then stabilize the situation for the time being, and then tell Shaq not to rush to expand, and wait until the situation is clearer."
Zhao An instructed: "Try to preserve yourself first... don't let the other party get caught by the tail, no matter what the other party's intentions are, the soldiers will block the water and cover them with soil, and we don't have to be afraid of him."
Anyway, whether it is DT or the two major headquarters, even if Zhao An is exhausted, he doesn't feel distressed.
Tariq: "Yes, obey the Lord's order."
