Chapter 850: Gardener Raymond

Panting, Sikefa rushed to the "Moon Bazaar", the largest flower and tree market in Rising Sun City, and found the young foreigner Raymond. He was setting up a stall to sell his rose oil and flower seeds, but no one patronized him.

Raymond is a Dutch, and with the dream of making a fortune, he arrived at the city of the magic city of Rising Sun.

Over the years, the order on the east side of the Malacca Strait has been very good, fair trade, guaranteed quality of goods, and no robbers on fire.

The red hairpins engaged in ocean trade have gained a lot. They are well-dressed and generous in their hands. Of course, they will not talk about the disappointing things of Somali pirates and the Cape of Good Hope storm. They only say that the east is full of gold!

Dongfang has a lot of money, people are stupid, come quickly!

As a result, a large number of red hair fan adventurers were attracted to the east, and Raymond was one of them. Taking advantage of the boom of this great voyage, he took an ocean-going trading ship to the City of Rising Sun.

He came back somewhat, he brought a lot of rose seeds and a lot of rose essential oil!

It turned out that his ancestors were gardeners who were good at cultivating roses and knew how to steam rose essential oil.

Roses are native to China and have a long history of cultivation. Roses are a kind of rosarugosa shrubs of the Rosaceae family in terms of plant taxonomy. "Rose" is now often cited as another name for a series of cultivars of the genus Rosa with gorgeous flowers. These cultivations Varieties can also be called modern roses or modern roses (different from real roses).

In ancient Rome, people soaked rose petals in water to make rose water. During banquets, rose petals were sprinkled on the ground, which was very luxurious. It is said that Cleopatra will apply the highest level of Damascus rose essential oil on the skin, and at the same time spread rose petals on the bed, greet her lover, Anthony, the Roman commander-in-chief in the enchanting scent of the room.

Westerners like roses very much. Rose essential oil is more expensive than gold. Two drops can make a liter of water fragrant and refreshing.

With the dream of making big money, Raymond asked for a high price and wanted to make a lot of money from rose oil.

But what he never expected is that Chinese people like incense. The dried spices are put in the closet or carried on the body, so the fragrance lasts.

Similar to rose essential oil, the fragrance is fragrant. It is volatile, and it is gone after it is wiped. It is very expensive. Smart Chinese do not do this kind of loss-making business!

The market for rose essential oil is so bad that poor Raymond is too embarrassed to eat!

He also brought a lot of rose seeds, packed them carefully, and tried to develop his rose planting career in the East, but unfortunately he was going to starve to death without waiting for him to start.

Relying on the help of fellow villagers, there is a Catholic church in Rising Sun City, where he eats free meals, but he has no money to buy a boat ticket to go home, unless he is an indentured slave to buy a boat ticket---selling himself to get a sum of money through labor Earn this money back.

The future of the indentured slaves is terrible. If they don't work in a colony on the other side of the Indian Ocean, this is good luck, but it is also very hard.

The miserable thing is that they were sold to unscrupulous Chinese to develop the island. The boss of the southeast government ordered Yue Han'er not to be slaves, but he didn't say that other races were not slaves. Therefore, the Chinese and the whites colluded and sold slaves for hard work and hard work. Except the Chinese are not sold, the rest of the race has everything. This is a very promising business.

Among the favorite slaves are the aboriginal people of the island, Asan and the white people!

On the contrary, blacks, West Asians, Arabs, and Turks are rarely introduced. I heard that it was an instruction from above.

There are also indentured slaves working on ships, which is extremely risky at sea and are more likely to become pirates...

It seems that business is hopeless, and he is already considering this possibility. (Raymond didn’t spend much of his capital, it’s not like the red hair fan who jumped out of the building borrowed a loan shark, otherwise, Raymond would have to find out which building is taller).

Fortunately, Shi Kefa, sweating all over his body, came to him like an angel and saved him!

Shi Kefa, who had been sharpening his head everywhere before, had also passed by twice with Raymond, and he had also seen Raymond's display, but he was surprised when he saw Raymond's dismal market.

But Shi Kefa is Shi Kefa after all. He heard the sentence "Women's money is best!", and made him think "people forsake me to get it!"

If other markets can't enter at all, then develop new products and open new markets!

Shi Kefa is ambitious. He is not only satisfied with simply being a township head and dealing with government affairs as simple as that, but he also needs to develop the local gdp and show his talents.

He did not expect that his mentality is the same as that of the officials of the Xinming Dynasty in the Southeast Mansion. In addition to maintaining social order, he should also care about the welfare of the people and gdp. The latter two are new challenges.

After Schafer invited Raymond to eat a meal of donkey meat (he could only afford to eat this), Raymond sold himself cleanly.

He invested with technology and got 10% of the shares.

Raymond hadn’t had any meat for many days. He ate the donkey meat that was more beautiful than the dragon meat in the sky, which made him unable to insist on a tougher stand. He was afraid that if the asking price was too high, the Chinese would not cooperate, then he I had to be an indentured slave to earn enough money for the boat ticket to return home.

However, Shi Kefa agreed to him that even if he expands the shares in the future, he does not need Raymond to pay for it. He will always hold 10% of the shares, unless he sells these shares stupidly.

Shi Kefa learned about rose planting techniques from Raymond. Fortunately, roses like warm weather and an environment with sufficient sunshine and moderate rainfall. They are resistant to cold, drought, and waterlogging. They are suitable for fertile, loose, and well-drained light loam or Planting in loam.

Speaking of which, Raymond was intentional. He actually learned some Chinese, and he was able to communicate with Shi Kefa.

After hearing Shi Kefa's description of the situation in Bali, I heard that there are mountainous areas, so good! Raymond patted his chest and said that cultivation is not difficult at all, it is wrapped around me.

Sikefa laughed and said, "I hope you are right, otherwise I will entrust my future and life to you. If I fail, I will put you in a sack and throw you into the sea!"

"Oh, my God, how can you be so savage, depending on the way you speak gracefully!" Raymond crossed.

"I'm not barbaric, because our leader is barbaric. This land was not his before. He just occupied your Dutch. He killed 10,000 Dutch and put 1,000 of them in sacks. Nautical miles!" Sikefa simply frightened him.

"Scared!" The poor gardener Lei Meng couldn't help but change his face. After all, he was still a young man who had never been more troublesome.

With technology and funds, the system of the Southeast Government is still quite good. Shi Kefa invited Lei Meng to stay at his home, and after a hard night, he went to the Township and Village Enterprise Bureau under the Ministry of Finance of the Southeast Government the next day. He applied for funds, and the officials inside received him.

Shi Kefa introduced himself. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com confidently submitted his plan to the officials. In the plan, he stated that he would introduce rose planting, refine rose oil, and find ways to open the market!

This is a new way, and officials applauded it.

However, the formalities are a bit troublesome, and Chief Shi has not officially taken office yet!

In the past, all officials came to run the ministry to ask for money, but now the head of the township Shi is asking for money before he takes office, something he has never seen before.

How about you go back first and wait for us to study the notice? !

Or do you take office first and come later?

The officials were very polite and didn't say anything to death.

Shi Kefa returned home first. He prepared with both hands and booked the ferry tickets. On the other hand, he waited for notice.

One day later, the news came, and the Township and Village Enterprise Bureau approved his application, and gave him a full three thousand silver dollars in start-up capital!
