In the evening, I had just returned to Beilun’s official residence shortly after.

"Oh, are you saying that the top figures in New South Wales and Victoria, including the governor and speaker, cannot be invited to attend the military ceremony? Haha... This is expressing dissatisfaction!" Li Fushou heard the secretary's report, without any surprise on his face. He smiled and walked towards the yard with his hands behind his back. "If you don't come, don't come. It's good that we can keep the door closed and have fun."

"Mr. Yuanding, these white politicians in southern states are reluctant to even do superficial articles. It seems that they are determined to fight against us!" Mr. Pan Shoudao's face was a hint of resentment.

It’s okay if Victoria is far away, but Sydney, the capital of New South Wales, is close to you. It’s just a strait, and you can easily reach Beilun Port by ferry. It’s extremely excessive to not even give me any reason to demolish such a trait.

"It's going to rain, and I'll let him get married."

Li Fushou's emotions were not affected. He paused for a moment and waited for Pan Shoudao to catch up, and continued to move forward, saying as he walked; "Who are the two guard infantry divisions we have expanded to deal with and who are they intimidating? Put your heart in mind... It's no wonder that they feel uncomfortable, and these seemingly false tapes don't need to be maintained."

"It's hard. Sydney is separated from Beilun and the water, and the economy and trade flow are very close. This is equivalent to cutting off cross-strait ties, and the losses are quite large."

"Brother Shoudao, the situation is like a two brothers splitting up. One insists on separating another. What can we do?"

"Please teach me Yuan Ding."

"Brother Shoudao is polite. There is no need to teach or not. Considering everything to the worst and working in the best direction should be the only feasible solution at present.

Organize relevant personnel to conduct a survey on the economic and trade situation of Beilun Town and Sydney. What projects are imported in quantity, dependence, and whether there are alternative options for imports? What is the economic impact on Beilun?

Understanding these situations will help solve problems in a targeted manner, so you can be clear and not be surprised when things change."

Pan Shoudao nodded frequently after hearing this, and continued, "Yuan Ding's words woke up the dreamer. Now I have a clear idea. Beilun Town relies on the supply of wool raw materials for the southern states. Three wool mills with a scale of 10,000 people in the town will definitely face the problem of insufficient start-up, and port transportation will also be affected. The wool industry is Beilun's pillar industry, and this blow is quite a big blow!"

Honghe Valley has three textile central towns, Zhuque City, Songjiang Town and Beilun Town. These three places each have three large wool textile enterprises (Wood Textile Factory 10, Factory 11 is still under construction), and the surrounding wool raw materials are generally supplied nearby.

The breakdown of relations with Southern State has little impact on Zhuque City and Songjiang Town, but it has a great impact on Beilun Town, because the main raw materials of the three large wool-twisting companies in Beilun Town are New South Wales and Victoria.

The insufficient start of wool textile enterprises will directly affect the income of 37,900 workers in the wool textile industry, affect 37,900 families, and will inevitably affect the economic prosperity of the entire Beilun Town.

"It's okay, Southern State does not dare to do this for the time being, they can't afford it." Li Fushou knew what Pan Shoudao was concerned about, so he stopped and turned around, and said with a confident smile on his face. "In view of the high price of the wool market, the Red River Valley Animal Husbandry Bureau plans to expand the existing merino flock on a large scale, from the existing stock of 46 million sheep to 70 million sheep. I think this time will only take half a year, and the raw materials from Beilun Town will not be lacking at that time."

"That's great, but I'm worried that the wool spinning companies in my brother towns will grab raw materials, and the newly built wool spinning mill in Songjiang Town will also need a large amount of raw materials to be supplied after it is put into production. This... will it be a big worry!

"You... Brother Shoudao, you are not kind anymore, haha..." Li Fushou laughed when he heard the other party's concerns.

Pan Shoudao knew that his little thoughts could not be hidden from the Earl, but he was devoted to serving as a public servant, so he was confident and said nothing after laughing dryly.

When you sit in a place and say what you say, Beilun Town is the town that Pan Shoudao attaches most importance to, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a good person. Wool textile enterprises are the pillar industry of Beilun Town. It is natural to shout for it, and it is reasonable to strive for its rights and interests.

The raw materials consumed by industrial production are amazing. Unlike cotton spinning enterprises that often have thousands of workers, wool mills in other countries are at most 1,000 people, while small and medium-sized enterprises only have three or five hundred people.

To date, nine wool textile enterprises under the Honghe Wool Textile Factory in Australia have directly started to scale 10,000 people. They are the only super-large-scale industrialized production in the world today (only for the wool textile industry). The scale effect and competitiveness brought about by this are unparalleled, and they are all world-class.

The development of enterprises has brought about a good appetite for raw materials, which once caused frequent cases of various enterprises to snatch raw materials, and has been repeatedly banned.

The size of the Red River Valley Ranch’s sheep flock has doubled year by year, but it still cannot keep up with the strong demand of enterprises.

Although the nine wool mills belong to the Honghe Wool mills, they each have economic assessment indicators, enterprise business development indicators, profit and tax and other indicators, which are directly related to the assessment and promotion of business operators, workers' wages and welfare benefits, and how can we not argue about matters related to the vital interests?

In view of this chaos

Honghe Wool Textile Factory officially issued a document to confirm that the area north of Songjiang Town belongs to the Sanjia Wool Textile Factory in Zhuque City. The wool raw materials purchased by the wool purchase station in the pastoral area can only be supplied to the Sanjia Wool Textile Factory in Zhuque City. It is not allowed to purchase beyond the boundaries, disrupting the order of the wool acquisition market.

The wool raw material acquisition base of the Sanjia Wool Spinning Factory in Songjiang Town is located in the area north of Beilun Town. The Sanjia Wool Spinning Factory in Beilun Town is aimed at the wool purchase stations in New South Wales and Victoria. It has its own territory to avoid price increases by various wool Spinning Factory and explicitly prohibit cross-border acquisitions.

"Lord Yuanding, what do you think of this?"

Pan Shoudao followed Li Fushou to sit down in the living room, and asked impatiently.

"Brother Shoudao, you won't ask me to give you an answer now, the matter is not that serious." Li Fushou couldn't help laughing. He knew that Pan Shoudao was thinking about the newly increased wool production.

The palms and backs of hands are all flesh, and it is not good to be favored by anyone.

The Red River Valley Ranch has the largest sheep in the world, with about 46 million sheep. This huge base has increased production significantly again, so Beilun Town certainly wants to get a share.

The 10th Wool Textile Factory and the 11th Wool Textile Factory under construction are located in Songjiang Town and the other is located in Beilun Town. It is planned to be a large factory with 20,000 people, and it has a lot of appetite for raw materials.

Why are the raw materials produced in our own ranch not purchased?

Beilun Town has a lot of opinions on this, because it has convenient railway conditions compared to the wool raw materials in its own ranch, and the transportation cost of purchasing wool raw materials in southern states is higher, so the cost is naturally higher.

"Mr. Yuanding, you can just say a fair word. How much wool production can be increased from the ranch give us? It is not enough to be vague. As a first-tier town facing the challenges of the south, Beilun Town can only play a role as an immigration bridgehead if it develops stronger. You can't deny this, right?"

"Haha, that's true."

"Then give me a correct number. Seeing that the conflict between the north and the south is becoming increasingly acute, Southern Prefecture is also developing its own wool spinning mills. Our wool raw material supply is not only expensive, but also easily affected by bilateral relations. It is not too much to ask for some wool raw material from our own ranch?"

"Brother Shoudao, don't say it's so pitiful. Your Beilun Town has always been ruthless in purchasing wool from Southern Prefecture. The wool comes from the sheep."

"It's such a big injustice!" Pan Shoudao screamed and looked like that. "The price reduction was done by those white wool buyers, and it has nothing to do with us. The wool purchase station in the brother town is 1.1 penny per pound, and it is 1.25 penny to the local wool spinning factory. The price to the factory in our Beilun Town is 1.35 penny, and the acquisition cost alone is more than 7%. It is definitely the highest acquisition price in Australia. As for the high shipping fee, it is not a problem with Beilun Town. Please give a clear explanation."

"Okay, okay, Brother Shoudao, don't bother me. You need to study this matter carefully before talking about it. Don't press the gourd to float up the ladle." Li Fushou picked up the teacup and took a sip, meaning to serve tea and see the guests.

Pan Shoudao pretended not to see it, but still pestered Li Fushou's endless complaints, making him so big that he was as big as a fight.

There is really no way

Li Fushou could only agree to place the three towns near Beilun Town, Beihai Town and Edinburgh, a total of three towns, into the Beilun Wool Spinning Factory raw material base, and supply the raw materials of several Beilun Wool Spinning Factory nearby.

These three towns, plus Beilun Town, are four pastoral areas, with a stock of no less than 6.3 million sheep, which will grow to tens of millions by the first half of next year. It will be a powerful supplement to the raw material supply of four large wool mills (including newly built wool mills) in Beilun Town.

Beilun Official Residence is a place for office and accommodation for all members of the country. It is divided into more than ten small courtyards. Although each courtyard is not big, it is very delicately furnished and has complete facilities. There are servants and maids taking care of their living room.

The official residence has a large conference hall, several small and medium-sized conference halls and large banquet halls, which are used by all officials to entertain VIP guests and office work. The Count and the accompanying staff live here to facilitate the security guard work.

The Earl's residence is in the innermost mansion, with a deep courtyard and an elegant environment, making it a good place to rest and work.

Pan Shoudao left the living room happily and walked forward lightly, with joy that could not be concealed in his eyebrows and eyes.

"Mr. Pan, has the Count relaxed?" Before he could reach the gate of his courtyard, Beilun Town Mayor Zhang Li rushed out and asked impatiently.

"What's the hurry? Whenever you have a calm mind when you have major events, you have to continue practicing your cultivation skills!" Pan Shoudao deliberately put a stern face, looking like a young man should be steady.

Zhang Li stared at his face and looked carefully. Finally, he saw some clues from the corners of his eyes that could not be concealed. He asked in surprise and joy, "Does the Count agree?"

"Ahem, I originally wanted to produce 5 pastoral areas, but unfortunately I only got three pastoral areas, so I could barely achieve my goal." Pan Shoudao was reserved and finally couldn't control it anymore, with a faint smile on his lips.

"It's great. As expected, the General Manager is right. That is, you are highly respected. The Earl must give you some face. I didn't see how many times the British nobleman named brigade general was turned away?" Zhang Li was happy and flattered, followed Pan Shoudao back to the courtyard and said in a fun way. "This is a great joy for our Beilun Town. How about it... Lord Pan, can you ask for a glass of water and wine?"

"Hahaha... Such a beautiful thing should be revealed."

Pan Shoudao laughed happily, and the two stepped into the yard one after another, shouting one after another, "Come on, come on, tell the kitchen to make some delicious side dishes. I will have to get drunk with Mayor Zhang today..."
