Chapter 38: Varied
"What? Grandma a bear! Those turtle grandsons dare to play Lao Tzu like this! This is to treat Lao Tzu as a wronged boss! Zhang Xun was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, he had always been in a hurry, and he was about to rush out with a gun at the moment: "Damn!" Lao Tzu went to find those turtle grandsons theory! โ
He could have paid half of the price, but he paid twice as much, and he was played with like a fool! Moreover, these weapons bought at a high price were also used by him as advanced weapons in the West to show off, which is a great shame for the good-faced Zhang Xunchong!
"Wait, brother, are you going to find the Americans to theorize, or are you going to find the people of the Gu factory?" Han Jiang's eyelids drooped slightly, and he stopped Zhang Xunchong: "If it is a theory with the Americans, the price they sell to the Europeans is not much different from this price, what position do you have to accuse them?" If it is a theory with the Gu Factory, the producer of these steel knives, what are you theorizing with them, just because they sold these weapons to the Bai family and the people who depended on the Bai family, and did not sell them to you? โ
"I don't care about this! Dare to play Lao Tzu as a monkey, Lao Tzu held a gun and a bullet broke him! Zhang Xunchong arrogantly pushed Han Jiang away, and he was about to continue walking. He was born burly and had extraordinary strength, the tall and thin Han Jiang was not his opponent at all, and he was pushed to the ground, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart, but he hid it well and didn't show it on his face.
The guards on the side saw that the head official had suffered a loss, so he couldn't help but take two quick steps, trying to catch up, but was stopped by Han Jiang waving his hand.
Han Jiang knew Zhang Xunchong very well, and if he acted like this on his turf, he would definitely be regarded as a provocation. It's just a push, and it doesn't matter, so there's no need to make a big fuss.
In terms of strength, the northern government run by Han Jiang is a few points stronger than the northwest government where Zhang Xunchong is located, and it also has a favorable geographical situation, and the economy and transportation are also more developed, so he does not need to be afraid of Zhang Xunchong. However, Zhang Xunchong, as a constant-victorious-general-army, his power under him cannot be underestimated, and for a while, Han Jiang will not be able to move. If the two forces insist on separating the winner, Han Jiang has no doubt that the final winner will be himself.
Han Jiang simply formed an alliance with Zhang Xunchong for the time being to deal with the Bai government, which was not pleasing to both.
For this reason, Zhang Xunchong's younger brother Zhang Bowei married Han Jiang's niece, and the two families were married, but they also had a legitimate relationship. Han Jiang also took the opportunity of his visit to propose to Zhang Xunchong to open up many trade exchanges between the two sides, including some rich resources contained in the northwest.
Although Zhang Xunchong has a little tendon, he is not stupid, and it is impossible to give up important strategic materials lightly. Besides, even if he wanted to, his men wouldn't agree. Mixed to the point where the Zhang family, the Han family and the Bai family are now, there are few capable people under that family?
Han Jiang has not yet received benefits from Zhang Xunchong, and at this time, it is the time to coax Zhang Xunchong, so he naturally tolerates Zhang Xunchong a lot. Although Han Jiang has a friendly attitude towards Zhang Xunchong, a brother, he doesn't look down on Zhang Xunchong very much in his heart, and he hides this very well on his face.
Although Zhang Xunchong's love was easily provoked by Han Jiang, which made Han Jiang very satisfied, however, because Zhang Xunchong's personal personality was too distinct, he was not very controlled by Han Jiang, and sometimes Han Jiang felt a headache.
"Brother Zhang, who are you going to collapse? Have you forgotten, a few days ago, we sent someone to 'invite' the person in charge of Gu's factory, but the other party refused. Even the senior spies buried in City B have been โกโก a lot. It can be seen that Gu's factory has long been in collusion with the Bai family, and it will not buy our account at all. In this case, how can they take the initiative to sell the weapons they have produced to you and me? โ
Zhang Xunchong stopped, his round eyes kept rolling in his sockets: "You mean, the Gu family factory has completely fallen into the control of the Bai family and has become a lackey of the Bai family?" โ
Originally, Han, Bai, and Zhang, Han Jiang was the most powerful, followed by the Bai family, and Zhang Xunchong followed. Among them, Han and Zhang have a stable source of weapons, which offended the Bai family in Europe and the United States, and can only develop weapons on their own, and in this regard, the Han and Zhang families have more advantages than the Bai family.
Han Jiang has been waiting for the moment when the Bai family's strength is exhausted, but he didn't expect that the Bai family would be able to find a chance to turn the tables!
Gu's Factory!
Now, anyone can see that mastering this factory is equivalent to mastering a treasure trove! In the future confrontation, we will be able to take the lead!
Han Jiang didn't answer positively, and asked rhetorically: "Gu's factory cooperated with the Bai family and helped the Bai family make huge profits in the transaction with Britain and the United States, what do you say?" โ
Zhang Xunchong kept walking back and forth in the room, as if he was in a very irritable mood. Finally, he finally stopped, and slammed his left hand into the palm of his right hand: "I can't go on like this!" All the benefits have been taken up by his Bai family, let us eat the leftovers of the Bai family! โ
"Now that the Bai family has such a piece of cake, they will never share it with us." Han Jiang said: "If we want to take these superior resources into our own hands, we can only use some unconventional means. โ
Zhang Xun looked at Han Jiang suspiciously: "Brother Han is saying...... Beat? At the last word, a sharp light suddenly reflected in his tiger eyes.
Han Jiang shook his head: "Brother Zhang, not all problems must be solved by fighting. Achieving our goals without bloodshed outside the battlefield is what we should really choose. โ
Zhang Xunchong was quite dismissive of this statement: "You people, there are a lot of crooked intestines, according to Lao Tzu, it is better to have a happy fight and win the battle." โ
"Brother Zhang, don't you still understand what happened last time? The more drastic the measures we take, the more we will push the Gu factory to the Bai family. So, we have to take it a long time. โ
Seeing the value of the Gu Factory, Han Jiang also had a little more patience with the Gu Factory, and similarly, he also strengthened his determination to control it in the palm of his hand.
Zhang Xunchong frowned: "Brother Han, don't sell Guanzi, just say it, what are you going to do?" โ
"There's no need to worry, when I'm ready, I'll tell you everything." Han Jiang patted Zhang Xunchong's shoulder.
Looking at Han Jiang's distant back, Zhang Xunchong spat on the ground: "What the hell, do you still want to use Lao Tzu as a gunman, do you think Lao Tzu is stupid!" If it weren't for the usefulness of keeping you, Lao Tzu would have been unaffected by this bird for a long time! โ
This scene happened in the northwest, Gu Shuhan naturally didn't know.
At this time, the machinery production plant had been officially established, the construction plant had been separated from the cement plant, and the steel plant had opened up new business and added several new steel products. Weapons factories have also increased production lines for guns, torpedoes and grenades.
The new weapons of Gu's Arms Factory are mainly supplied to the army of City B, and do not accept orders from third parties for the time being.
In just over a year, Gu's cement plant, Gu's iron and steel plant, and Gu's weapons factory rose rapidly and became the three major industrial giants in City B. It should have been a bumpy road and received a lot of resistance, but because the city's competitive factories were tied to their own chariots, they were supported by many factories in City B and became a well-deserved boss in the industry.
Gu's Machinery Factory is led by Xu Jinwen, although it has only been established for a short time, but because of its sophisticated technology, as well as the good reputation of Gu's factory outside, the number of orders received is not a lot, and the cost of establishing the factory has been recovered in a short period of time, and it has begun to enter a profitable state.
The construction factory has now recruited several talents from related aspects, and some of Gu Shuhan's guiding concepts, coupled with the fact that it has not been separated from the cement factory, it has attracted a part of the customer group, and has a certain reputation in the industry.
All in all, the two new factories are not as buoyant as the others, but they are now very profitable. I believe that as long as you work hard for a while, you will be able to roughly keep up with the pace of other factories.
Gu's major factories are thriving, and when they make a fortune, they also drive the output of other peers in the city, contributing to the development of mutual benefit, so they usher in a honeymoon period with their peers who should be competitors.
However, it didn't take long for this period of harmony to begin to take place.
Boss Ma, the owner of a large factory in City B, found his nemesis, Boss Cui, and told him a shocking piece of news.
"Do you know at what price the Gu factory sold those weapons to Britain and the United States?"
Boss Cui didn't understand what he meant for a while, and rolled his eyes at him: "What are you worried about, what does this have to do with you?" Why, could it be that Gu's factory has given you too few orders recently, and you are in a panic? โ
Boss Ma slapped his thigh fiercely, looking like he hated iron but not steel: "Hey, why don't you understand, the amount paid to us by Gu's factory is only that little, and they can sell it several times the price as long as they add a few processes to our products." We... We're working for nothing! โ
Boss Ma reported a few numbers to Boss Cui, and Boss Cui immediately heard the door.
Although he is usually impatient, he is also a shrewd person, and he suddenly smacked his tongue: "Why is this! We are doing all the work, she Gu Shuhan is good, sit back and enjoy it! No, we'll have to go to her for an explanation! โ
