Alliances are formed based on interests.

Enemies are also caused by interests.

Even under the magic of interests, allies have the potential to be transformed into enemies.

Enemies can also be turned into allies because of interests.

The key to this transformation lies in the distribution, balance and trade-off of interests.

It is very simple to turn an enemy into an ally, and to come up with the interests that appeal to the other party, so as to abandon encirclement and confrontation and cooperate with each other.

And Zhou Ming's decision to come up with the benefits this time surprised the 23 city councilors present and opposed them one after another.

So, what benefits does Zhou Ming plan to take out to make Jinyan City, a city that has been secretly against Zhenlin City all these years, willingly no longer go against it?

Three pieces of interest.

1. Yaojin Smelting Industry, all the factory equipment and workers will be relocated to Jinyan City, which is closer to Yaojinshi Mine, smelting Yaojin, increasing output, eliminating long-distance transportation and saving costs.

The new Yaojin Smelter, the major families of Golden Rock City, will probably account for 50% of the shares.

Second, agriculture.

Taking advantage of the vast plains and dense rivers around Jinyan City, we will vigorously develop agriculture, such as grain planting and animal husbandry, teach advanced agricultural technology hand in hand, promote full mechanization, and build Jinyan City into a second agricultural center.

3. Cotton planting and textile industry.

Cotton crops, Zhou Ming has been sending people to look for them over the years, whether it is an expedition in the forest or a well-informed businessman, Zhou Ming has always wanted to get an excellent cotton-like plant, which can be used to change the wearing habits of this plane after large-scale planting.

From the common animal skin clothing and snow silkworm clothing, to more comfortable and lightweight cotton clothing.

Hard work pays off, in recent years, Zhou Ming has obtained more than one kind of cotton-like crop seeds in his mind.

Rather, there are more than a dozen.

Among them are large cotton trees, cotton shrubs two or three meters high, cotton grass more than half a meter high, and even a cotton ball that can be kept in pots.

These cotton-like plants grow a variety of cotton wool, only in color, there are pure white, gray, orange, red, yellow, green, blue, purple and other more than a dozen colors.

There is also a kind of cotton, and the cotton wool that grows is actually a beautiful seven colors.

These more than a dozen kinds of cotton have great value for popularizing planting.

The market prospect of the spun cloth is naturally very large.

By the way, not only cotton seeds, rubber plant seeds, expeditions and merchants, but also brought a lot to Zhou Ming, even more types than cotton.

Now, with huge benefits in the cotton planting and textile industry, Zhou Ming does not plan to develop it alone, but wants to share it and pull his old rival Jin Yancheng to earn that money together.

Is there such a fool in this world?

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Ming was the head of the city who was trusted by everyone and elected with high votes, I'm afraid there would be a lot of scolding below.

Zhou Ming had to explain them one by one and do their ideological work.

"These three properties were all decided by me after careful consideration. ”

"The transfer of Yaojin smelting industry to Jinyan City is to take advantage of the regional advantages close to the mineral area, save smelting costs, and increase the output of Yaojin to 50,000 tons, 100,000 tons, or even one million tons per year...... The cake of Yaojin smelting will become bigger, and the benefits it will bring to us will also increase, after all, we will use Yaojin in all aspects of our various undertakings. ”

"In addition, our mineral exploration team, in the depths of the forest in the west, has also discovered several Yao gold mines with large reserves, as well as red copper, Xuanxing iron, phoenix gold and other mines, all of which have mining value, but they are short of manpower and can only be mined in the future...... So don't worry, Golden Rock will get stuck on us in this regard. ”

"In terms of agriculture, to be honest, a border place like Zhenlincheng is not suitable for the development of large-scale agriculture, it is too close to the forest, there are hundreds of incidents of wild beasts biting and biting farmers every year, and the establishment of patrols is not very effective. ”

"As for cotton cultivation and textiles...... I can only go to Jinyan City to do it on a large scale, the reason is very simple, one, Zhenlin City does not have a large number of familiar land available for use, and two, there is not enough manpower...... Both cotton planting and textile industry are labor-intensive industries, requiring 100,000, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people. ”

"Are there so many of us?"

"No, no matter how much Zhenlincheng encourages childbirth, it is impossible to increase hundreds of thousands of people a year, and it is impossible to occupy all industries. ”

"So, we need the joining of Jinyan City, we need the joining of Rabble, we need more cities to join, we need all the resources of those cities, such as land, population, minerals, etc. ”

"Spirit coins can't be earned, and they can't be earned by one person, if Zhenlin City really earns them all, then no one will be willing to join us, but it may be the blockade and resistance of all forces. ”

"There are also those who advocate fighting, conquering by force, and strengthening our power by force...... This method is very good, but most of us are just mortals, or slightly stronger mortals, what if the immortals make a move? What if the sect wants to deal with us?"

"Chixing Mountain will not allow it, and the families that gave them offerings every year were all wiped out by us. ”

Speaking of offering to the fairy mountain, in fact, in the past ten years, within a radius of Chixing Mountain, dozens of cities, the performance of Zhenlin City is the most eye-catching, in order to leave a good impression on the immortals, the things offered on the Zhenlin City are not only more, but also good quality, novel style, left a deep impression on the immortals.

Even, Zhou Ming also adopted an infiltration policy, sending more than 20 students with extraordinary talents to Chixing Mountain, and paying special attention to the growth of these students...... The purpose is naturally to reduce Chixingshan's attention to Zhenlin City, and not to see Zhenlin City as a threat that needs to be eradicated.

What kind of people are easy to be targeted and seen as threats?

People who are noble and cold-eyed, high-profile and arrogant, hold a shelf all day long, and can't pull down their faces, are the easiest to be targeted and suppressed...... And this kind of person often can't see these shortcomings of himself, but is angry that the whole world is targeting him, and then he wants to destroy the world, and the result is often sad.

All the enemies that may be transformed into friends in Zhou Ming's concept, try to turn them into friends, and try not to offend those large forces before their own strength is still weak.

Even if this requires a small number of benefits, it is necessary to endure a temporary battle of will.

This is not the so-called cowardice, but the secret of survival, the secret of success.

Because there is nothing that can be bigger than your own life.

Of course, when the wings are full and the strength is beginning to appear, stretch your body and open your fangs, which will surprise your opponents and teammates...... This moment will eventually come.

This is the so-called "taoguang to raise obscurity, waiting for the time to rise".

Wu Bao and the others were moved by Zhou Ming's stated reasons and the vision depicted, and nodded their heads one after another, no longer objecting.

……

Soon.

Zhenlin City sent two heavyweight representatives, and after arriving in Jinyan City on Eagle Vultures, the two cities began negotiations that lasted for several days.

The negotiators of Zhenlin City were tough in wording, and their attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, but they still proposed the three major cooperation projects proposed by Zhenlin City to the patriarchs of various families in Jinyan City, and described the money situation of the three projects.

It can be summarized in these three sentences:

How many spirit coins is a million tons of Yao Gold worth every year?

How much is tens of millions of tons of grain and millions of tons of meat, eggs and milk worth every year?

How much money can be made from countless pieces of clothing, shoes, bags and other clothing products that can be worn by hundreds of millions of people every year?

Puff~

Puff~

This is the sound of the heartbeat accelerating, the breathing becomes thicker, the blood accelerates, the face turns red, the eyes are round and bright, and all the family interest representatives in Jinyan City are moved.

Extremely exciting.

I almost want to nod my head in agreement immediately.

The negotiator from Zhenlin City said:

"It's okay to continue the blockade, we can't build another road, and then we don't go through Jinyan City, Yao Gold Mine is not something unique to Jinyan City, and other cities can also buy it...... But give up the opportunity to continue cooperation with Zhenlin City, and then suffer from the strict blockade of Zhenlin City, when the time comes, we want to see, is that city can't hold on first, and first completely cross?"

"Think about it, whether you live a good life or a hard life depends on how you choose!"

As soon as the words fell, a voice immediately sounded below.

"My Yang family is willing to continue to cooperate with Zhenlin City and develop together!" The position of the head of the Yang family has changed, and in the face of huge interests, he has forgotten the consensus reached by the various families a few days ago and has taken the lead in defecting.

This time it was like a chain reaction, as soon as the Yang family relented, the heads of other families panicked, fearing to fall behind, and also expressed their attitudes, "My X family is willing to cooperate sincerely with Zhenlin City to seek wealth and ......prosperity" Such words are endless.

Jin Yancheng said that he would give up the blockade and the families who were willing to cooperate accounted for more than 90%.

The situation is gradually becoming clearer.

However, the words of the head of the Gao family below suddenly increased in surprise.

The head of the Gao family put forward a condition, only by agreeing to this condition, the two cities could continue to cooperate.

The other family heads were puzzled, the negotiators in Zhenlin City were very angry, they all gave up such a big benefit, what else did Jin Yancheng want?

After the head of the Gao family said this request, the negotiator's anger subsided a lot and said that he could consider it.

After hearing this, the heads of the other families present also agreed, saying that they must add this condition to the two cities before they can continue to cooperate!

What are the conditions that are so important for the cooperation between the two cities?
