Chapter 728： Young people from the north (1/2)

Snowing.

Cody stood behind the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the office with a pipe, and looked out at the snow fluttering outside the window, as well as the factory buildings that seemed slightly awkward in the snow fluttering.

In this northern country, the first snowfall always came very early, and even before the official winter falls, there were often early snowfall visits.

In the past... In fact, there was no time in the past, and the snow that came prematurely was often seen as a bad start, and even linked to death.

Early arrivals mean early termination of outdoor activities, storage of fuel becomes difficult, and civilians will have to use limited food and fuel to fight the longer winters, for the poor who have to pay for a piece of wood and a piece of bread, winter To extend one day, it is often the life and death of the two worlds.

So people even have a special name for this kind of snow that comes early: White Death.

But that is the past, at least in most parts of the South. In the eyes of Cod, the scenery of the first snow is gradually covering the impression of "White Death" in his mind.

I only hope that the coverage of this snow should not be too large, especially the plain of the Holy Spirit... After all, there are still many areas in this country that cannot stand the power of white death.

Cod bites the pipe, and the red light in the pipe flashes darkly. The thick smoke slowly spreads out, and his thoughts are involuntarily scattered with the scattered smoke.

The wind is rolling with snowflakes and smashing large pieces of crystal glass. This crystal-clear material has always been associated with expensive and scarce materials, and few such large-scale technologies have been manufactured to make cheap, large white crystals. The monopoly of Tifeng Empire, the difficulty of transportation and the deliberate blockade of Tifeng, led to the standard pane size of various buildings in the Ansu era never exceeding half a meter until a year ago, Cecil’s The alchemy factory successfully solved the technical secrets of the Titans making cheap white crystals, and the large-sized crystal glass gradually appeared on various buildings in the south.

The emergence of large-size crystal glass, coupled with the new architectural style brought by Govin Cecil, the new architectural elements of “flooring windows” became popular this year.

As for how the technicians in the alchemy factory cracked the technology of the Tifeng people in the absence of samples and materials... Cod, as a businessman, was not aware of this.

The rare leisure time didn't last long. A rhythmic knock on the door interrupted Cod's thinking divergence. He heard the voice of the eldest son Parr behind him: "Father, someone is looking for you."

The big businessman turned his head: "Do you represent the representative of Marlin Trading Company?"

On this snowy day, the other party came very early.

However, the young man at the door shook his head: "No, it is a young man from the north who claims to be Philm. He said that there are important things to show you, and that you will be interested."

“Young people from the north?” Codd blinked in surprise. “It’s not easy to travel long distances on this cold day, maybe by the ‘Highlander’ to come to the South to try your luck...”

The big businessman groaned, and his heart was quite emotional.

It’s not surprising that strangers come to visit him. As the owner of the growing reputation of the Cod House Company, he is also the leader of the Carroll Regional Merchants Association. His visitors are always there, and there are some embraces. The new order brought by the brave young man of the dream, Gao Wen, seems to bring a kind of vitality to the whole land. In the vast sea of ​​people, the young people are always the most courageous. They are carrying novel ideas and are rushing in this piece. There are all kinds of opportunities for the changing land, and there is no doubt that Cod has an opportunity here.

But most of the time, brave young people are just brave. They lack knowledge and experience, so that many subtle ideas in their minds can't be used. However, Cod will still receive these young people as much as possible from the interests of businessmen. From the perspective of the company, the company should create an image that accommodates innovation and attracts talents. Only in this way can we continue to recruit talented people, and from the perspective of personal feelings, those who harbor novel ideas and boldly challenge. People let Cod can't help but think of himself, remembering his first business when he was young, and remembering the passion he has rekindled in the last two years.

I just didn't expect a stranger from the north to visit the door... I was afraid that the young man would have a good time after coming here.

The partner who has booked the appointment has not arrived yet. It is fine to see the young man.

"Let him come in," Cod nodded. "Tell him in advance, only twenty minutes."

"Yes, father."

The eldest son, Parr, withdrew from the room. A moment later, a young man in a blue coat and a blond hair appeared in front of Cod.

Habitually, Cod first looked at the young man’s dress and temperament.

The more decent coat, the material is the material, although it looks old, but clean and well-maintained; the smile is gentle and courteous, with the habit of being habitual, without the slightest momentum or noble details.

It should be a middle-class citizen who is well-educated and may have served aristocrats. Perhaps he or she may need to deal with people who are higher than their own status. The financial resources obviously can afford the tickets of the Highlanders, and the tickets for the medium class. .

"Hello, I am very happy to meet you, Mr. Kod," the young man smiled and his face showed a hint of excitement. "I am coming from Barron, you can call me Phil..."

"It's nice to meet you too, Mr. Ferm please close the door," Cod nodded, using his chin to indicate the seat reserved for the guest. "Please feel free."
