Chapter 2536
Wang Tom obviously did not specifically explain the crop issues to Wang Anguo, so Wang Anguo would not understand why those crops unique to Haihan appeared in North America. Of course, since the crops promoted by Haihan in East Asia are all selected and excellent varieties, their quality and yield are far superior to similar crops currently produced in North America.
Haihan has extremely rich operational experience in the agricultural development of new colonies, coupled with the unique farming talent of the Han people, so even on the other side of the ocean thousands of miles away, he can implement mature development plans step by step. At present, Haihan has reclaimed hundreds of acres of local cultivated land to grow food crops and vegetables. At the same time, animal husbandry and fishery are also beginning to get on track. The new colony has basically achieved self-sufficiency in food, and can even use the excess food to do some business with the Indian tribes in nearby areas.
After solving the basic problem of food supply, what the advance fleet has to do is to rapidly develop the population and expand the armed forces. Wang Anguo traveled thousands of miles to return to his country, and he must have shouldered these two tasks.
A few people chatted for a while, and an officer came out of the inner hall, but he invited the other middle-aged man who was sitting alone and waiting to be received in first. Later, the officer came out again and told Wang Anguo and others to wait patiently for a while and Shi Diwen would meet them together.
"It seems that Mr. Shi is going to receive us as an elder." After the officer left, Tao Hong said conveniently.
If it was a business-to-business relationship, they would definitely have to be received separately to avoid affecting official duties. But if Shi Diwen wanted to receive them together, he would simply treat them as his nephews.
"That's good, everyone can relax a little bit." Bai Letong also agreed with Tao Hongfang's judgment.
Of course, these young people from Sanya hope to meet Shi Diwen as "one of their own", which will also help them complete their respective tasks. Moreover, the relationship between local officials like Shi Diwen, who is in charge of military and political power, and the executive committee is actually very subtle. How Shi Diwen treats these second-generation people can also reflect his attitude towards the executive committee to a certain extent. the true attitude of the committee.
Of course, if not for this, they would probably still be queuing up outside the gate to bask in the sun. How could they sit here so leisurely, chatting and waiting.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, the officer came to take them in to meet Shi Diwen.
Several young people quickly got up and tidied their clothes, and checked each other to make sure they would not lose etiquette in front of Shi Diwen. Then they followed the officer out of the side hall and walked along the corridor towards the depths of the Yamen.
Shi Diwen's office is located in a very quiet courtyard. After the officer announced at the door, a low voice came from inside, asking Tao Hongfang and others to go in.
After hearing this, everyone filed in and saw Shi Diwen in military uniform standing in front of a row of bookshelves, flipping through a book in his hand. Shi Diwen turned his head, his sharp eyes swept across them quickly, then nodded and said: "You don't have to be restrained, just sit down and talk!"
Several people hurriedly stepped forward to meet each other as juniors, and then Wang Anguo and Tao Hongfang each presented a gift list. However, Tao Hongfang's gift list was a joint gift from four families, so the content was naturally richer. Of course, these gifts were not prepared by them, but came from the handwriting of their fathers.
Shi Diwen accepted the gift list without much politeness, without opening it to read it. He put it on the desk and said in a deep voice: "You guys are really thoughtful... Is it going well during this long journey to Hangzhou? ”
Wang Anguo responded: "It only took less than three months to come back this time. On the way, we stopped at Pearl Harbor and Tokyo Bay, Japan. The journey was quite smooth. We encountered several sea storms and were avoided in time." Tao Hongfang said: "Compared with Anguo, our flight from Sanya is really nothing."
Shi Diwen nodded and said: "It is true that Anguo's return trip is farther. When conditions are available in the future, we can build more supply ports on the ocean and open up more routes, and travel will be more convenient."
When Wang Anguo returned from the other side of the ocean, the trans-oceanic route was more than five times that of Tao Hongfang and others, so the risks during the voyage were undoubtedly greater. Tao Hongfang and others stopped and stopped along the way, and also made short inspections in Hong Kong, Kaohsiung and Zhoushan. It took more than half a month to arrive in Hangzhou, while Wang Anguo took three months to arrive in Hangzhou. In comparison, it was indeed It is the latter who rushes faster. Of course, there were indeed few ports of call for Wang Anguo on his way back home.
Speaking of which, these five young people present had not met Shi Diwen for the first time. It's just that Shi Diwen has been here in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all year round and rarely returns to Sanya, so Tao Hongfang and others rarely meet with him. The last meeting probably dates back to five or six years ago. However, Wang Anguo, who had been overseas for several years, seemed to have a closer relationship with Shi Diwen.
However, this is not difficult to understand. After all, his father Tom Wang and Shi Diwen were close friends of the "North American Gang" back then. Presumably the two families had a lot of contacts in the past. Before Wang Anguo joined the advance fleet, he should also have been a member of the Shi family. Regular customer.
After some pleasantries, Shi Diwen took the initiative to bring up the business. Naturally, Wang Anguo was the one who bore the brunt: "Anguo, your father has informed me via telegram of what you are going to do when you come back this time. You can live in Hangzhou with peace of mind." Next, I have made arrangements for the relevant matters, and someone will explain it to you later.”
Wang Anguo quickly bowed and thanked him. It would certainly be much easier for Shi Diwen to speak in person than to handle matters on his own.
Shi Diwen said again: "Hongfang, do you need my help in your mission to Hangzhou?"
This question naturally reflected the difference in treatment, but Tao Hongfang did not dare to complain about it, and responded humbly: "I first arrived in Hangzhou, and I don't know much about the situation here. Dare to trouble my lord.”
Although Tao Hongfang is also a little envious of Wang Anguo's treatment, he doesn't know if his team's mission in Hangzhou will encounter any obstacles, so he can't think of anything that needs Shi Diwen's help for the time being. And he was the leader of the four. The other three did not say anything more after hearing Tao Hongfang's attitude.
Shi Diwen nodded and said: "If you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, you can come to me at any time. I still have a lot of official business to deal with today, so I won't let you sit down anymore. I will hold a banquet for you in the evening. Someone will tell you the time and place later, so come when the time comes.”
Seeing that Shi Diwen wanted to see off his guests, several people quickly stood up and left.
