Chapter 89 Returning to the Heart is like an Arrow

The crew members of the Flying Fleet are all in the mainland, so they can go home for the New Year as soon as possible, so they will naturally be home.

However, the citizens of Luzon were reluctant to let them go, so they kept them enthusiastically, and even closed the door and wanted them to be sons-in-law.

Bah, I think beautifully! The crew members are now worth 20,000 to 30,000 taels, and they are all rich people. Who wants to be sons-in-law?

Finally, the Governor's Office came forward and said that the members of the ocean-going fleet would hold a nationwide parade next year. They would definitely invite them to come and chat with everyone for a good month. Mr. Zhao endorsed the letter again, and the citizens of Luzon reluctantly let them go.

So on the 17th day of the winter month, the fleet continued to sail and return north.

But not everyone went back, so many of those researchers stayed in Luzon and seized the time to transform the research project into results.

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

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

Especially the latter, he had high hopes. Because the million seeds brought back by the fleet include twelve rubber tree seeds, twenty cinchona seeds, eight cocoa seeds, fifteen coffee seeds, as well as corn, sweet potato, potato, cassava, pumpkin, tomato, pepper, peanut, sunflower, tobacco, cashew, onion cotton, pineapple, beans, oil pear, American ginseng, papaya, etc., seeds of hundreds of South American crops and cash crops.

Zhao Hao allowed the Botanical Research Institute to take one tenth of each sample and try planting in the spring next year. In order to increase the survival rate and let these babies settle in Luzon as soon as possible, he spared no expense to ask the Institute to build a glass greenhouse to prevent the temperature in Luzon from being lower for some tropical plants.

His expectations for these crops were surprisingly high and he ordered the highest security treatment for the Botanical Research Institute - that is, there was a security brigade of 1,000 people who were responsible for the safety of the Botanical Research Institute.

This made everyone admire the Botanical Research Institute. I wonder what amazing wealth and secrets this place where I fiddled with flowers and plants contained, but the young master actually had to pay such a lot of money to defend it.

Zhao Hao didn't need to explain, because all independent research institutes were supported by Singularity Fund... that is, he paid for it out of his own pocket.

Of course, he could ask Jiangnan Group or Nanhai Group to pay the money, but that would have to explain to the increasingly professional board of directors and the increasingly troubled supervisory board why they had to spend the money, and also issued a plan to undergo audit at any time. It was very troublesome and not conducive to confidentiality.

Therefore, Mr. Zhao simply let the scientific research system be independent of the group, and operated by Singularity Fund solely, and bears the profits and losses at your own expense.

The full name of Singularity Fund is "Singularity Science and Technology Investment Fund", and is owned by Singularity Investment Company 100%.

The main assets of Singularity Investment Company include Zhao Hao's shares in Jiangnan Group, 26.32% of the shares in Xishan Group, and 11.48% of the shares in Lugouqiao Group, accounting for more than 90% of Zhao Hao's assets.

Through Singularity Investment, Zhao Hao has continuously invested in the Singularity Fund, maintaining ten research institutions with large and small sizes, including Xishan Island Research Center, Jiangnan Shipbuilding Research Institute, Kunshan Agricultural College Research Center, and Jiangnan Medical College Research Center.

Not counting the two Luzon companies, the annual research cost of all research institutions is as high as 2.5 million taels, which is almost 1.5 billion yuan for future generations.

Even if Zhao Hao has mountains of gold and silver, he can't afford to burn money like this. Moreover, those mountains of gold and silver are still in the group and do not belong to him personally.

At first, he could only rely on selling stocks or mortgage loans to fill the holes. Fortunately, the "April Stock Market Surge" in the fifth year of Longqing made him make tens of millions of taels, which can last until now.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhao adopted a combination of industry, academia and research. The institute produced results with application value, so he combined shares with companies under the group to cash in. The institute was responsible for issuing patents and technical personnel, the company was responsible for production and sales, and then distributed profits as agreed.

After years of exploration and running-in, this path has become wider and wider. Last year, the fund shared a profit of 1.9 million silver in this way. That is to say, while scientific research funds are increasing day by day, net expenses are constantly shrinking, and only 'single-point investment subsidy is 600,000 taels.

This was enough to make Mr. Zhao go away. He finally didn't have to sell his money from his wife anymore. He could maintain the operation of the fund by relying on dividends from the three groups.

And you can also have more than 100,000 taels of silver left to serve as a room payment... Oh no, private money is convenient.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but burst into tears. Is it easy for me? It's been ten years since I finally saved some private money...

Speaking of which, Mr. Zhao may be one of the top ten richest people in the world. Even the most conservative estimate is that his assets have exceeded 100 million taels of silver.

But asset scale is useless. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty, who is rich in all over the world, had to take advantage of dozens or hundreds of billions of assets? Don’t you have to rely on him to support it?

There is also the Spanish king who is constantly setting. Different capital chains are broken and they are bankrupt and have to pay for their debts?

He can't tell his sister in the brothel that I have a billion-dollar net worth, but I can't raise it for a while, so can I let me get a free job and borrow 5,000 taels of unfreezing funds?

I guess someone wants to call the police to arrest him.

So, real money is money.

~~

Mr. Zhao also took up the Liu Daxia account, and he couldn't wait to return to China.

It’s not that he wants to go back to visit the kiln, he hasn’t been home for more than a year.

Now that my father-in-law's precious daughter has returned, he has brought a thousand-year-old turtle back, Zhao Hao finally dared to return to China to see his daughter.

Last year, Li Mingyue, Jiang Xueying and Sister Ma came to Luzon to spend the New Year with him. But he was worried that the child was too young and Luzon had miasma, so he didn't take any of his daughters and sons.

As a result, from the twelfth lunar month to the first lunar month, only three heroes fought against Lu Bu. Without the child, they were distracted, and Lu Bu was so tired that his legs were trembling. As soon as the first lunar month came, they were sent back to the mainland.

The reason is also very good. The child grows up in a blink of an eye. It is cruel to be a father who is not around. Mothers have to spend more time with them so that they don’t leave any regrets.

Perhaps it was because of the age that Mr. Zhao, who was already twenty-five years old, finally awakened his fatherly love, became a father, and began to miss his baby.

He is already the father of seven children, and it is time to wake up... After Li Mingyue returned from Luzon, she gave birth to another in July this year. And she was actually a twin!

Xue Ying's belly didn't move anymore, so she could only say that she admired her. In terms of giving birth, she really couldn't compare to the little princess.

As for Qiaoqiao, I didn’t come to Luzon at home, if there were any problems, it would be a big deal…

So Zhao Hao is now the fifth son and two daughters. It’s still a long time to get together. If he gets tired of being together all day long, he can give birth to a football team.

~~

Moreover, Zhao Hao returned to the mainland this time and planned to stay in Luzon for a year or two.

The so-called "everything is difficult to start with". In the past two years, his center has been basically placed on Luzon. Now all work has been on the right track. Jin Ke and Tang Paul and Xiao Guicao will do the following things, and there will be no big problems.

Of course, this is thanks to Lin Feng's raid on Acapulco, which forced the Spanish expedition to postpone it for several years.

But to be honest, Zhao Hao did not take the Spanish seriously. At least in this acre of three-point land in Asia, he was not ashamed of the Spanish fleet that had been expeditioned by the Lai Shi.

The reason why he did not go south to attack Cebu in the past two years was that the Spaniards remained there. In addition to the large-scale sailing trade, more importantly, he needed an enemy in Southeast Asia!

In this way, the tribes of the Southeast Asian countries need protection from their fathers, crying and asking for inclusion.

If this enemy hadn't been there, I'm afraid they wouldn't have kissed their father so much.

So before Zhao Hao completes the layout completely, the Spaniards cannot leave.

In fact, to put it bluntly, isn’t it a way to strengthen the dependence of immigrants and make it easier for them to manage?

But always tightening the strings will break, and it is time for them to relax a little.

There is no need for explicit hints at all. As long as he leaves for a while, the atmosphere in Luzon will naturally be sent down.

~~

In winter, northeastern winds prevail in the sea, so sailing northwards is heading against the wind. Fortunately, there is a surging black tide, and the speed is not too slow.

Ten days later, the fleet arrived in Kenting, rested for a day in Kenting, and replenished supplies, and continued north along the east coast of Taiwan Island.

During the rest and recuperation in Kenting, Zhao Hao once told Lin Feng that the crew members and passengers from Fujian and Guangdong could get off the boat, and the security area would arrange for ships to take them home for the New Year.

However, no one disembarked. They now clearly realized that after three years and three months of voyage, they had become legend.

Everyone does not want their legendary stories to leave any flaws, so they choose to go back to Pudong with a ship to put a perfect end to the global sailing.

The Spring Festival is present every year, and such a legendary experience may only be once in this life. So their choice is understandable.

So the fleet continued to head north.

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

He felt a little embarrassed and quickly asked someone to invite Master Xuelang. Unexpectedly, the guards went there and reported that Master Xuelang stayed in Luzon and did not get on the ship again.

This made Zhao Hao very surprised. Why did the noisy monk change his temperament? He didn't want to write poems by himself and still hide from him?

Could it be that he is so handsome that he is regarded as a daily necessity by the hungry crew members in the vast sea?

Thinking of this, Zhao Hao was very anxious and quickly asked someone to find the special department clerk who was hidden among the crew.

Although that man took his men to get off the ship in Morocco, there were still many Kurt members lurking in the fleet, secretly monitoring the movements of the fleet.

Fortunately, the special department reported that Master Xuelang did not suffer from super friendship attacks, but said that he had some understanding of his heart and had to sit in the death gate and integrate it. I don’t know if it was true, or because he exposed his secret in Linfeng Strait and had no shame to see him?

I can only wait for the future to meet again.

~~

Ten days later, Laba arrived in Naha. It was also warmly welcomed by the people of Ryukyu.

The Zheng family has been in charge of Ryukyu for many years. Not to mention anything else, Chinese education has been closely focused on. Now the Ryukyu people’s understanding of the Ming Dynasty is no longer the sect leader country, but the ‘its own country’…

Moreover, there are many crew members in Ryukyu who are in love with each other and have given birth to many children. The crew members' feelings for this place are actually more than those in Luzon.

However, time is tight, so I can only talk about it for a long time, and I will talk about it after I have enough time in the future.
