Chapter 1460: Rules of the Game
Song Yingxing is really unhappy.
Fortunately, Wu Zheng dispelled Song Yingxing's concerns with one sentence, "All personnel and finances of Dongfanghong Technology Co., Ltd. are directly under the jurisdiction of this king. ”
This sentence is very common, but the weight is definitely not light.
The prime minister's concierge is still a three-grade official, not to mention the direct jurisdiction of King Wu and the general, you know, but if Lu Jincai walks on the street, ordinary generals still have to salute him, even the commanders and deputy commanders of the guards, they are also full of smiles, and affectionately call him "Brother Lu".
Song Yingxing naturally understood the strangeness of this.
The dissatisfaction was solved, and the next thing was easy to do, and Song Yingxing became happy, very happy.
"Songjiang Military Workshop, Wusong and Hangzhou Shipyards, and three major colleges and universities...... Recruit talents from all the provinces under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion and join Dongfanghong Technology Co., Ltd...... The number of personnel is tentatively set at 800 people, and if it needs to be expanded, it is up to the company's directors to decide at their discretion...... All the funds required by the company are allocated by the financial secretary in a separate account, and there is no need to notify in advance, and the corresponding list is made at the end of the year for review. ”
Song Yingxing has theoretically unlimited power and financial resources.
……。
Three days later, Wei Kuangguo came again.
This time, unlike his previous hurried steps, he came with a brisk pace.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, are you right, Kerry? General Thorne applauded your idea of putting aside your disputes and making money together...... God, peace has finally come. ”
If it weren't for Mo Zhinian and the others, Wu Zheng would have bet that with Wei Kuangguo's joy at this time, he would have to rush up and kiss himself.
Wu Zheng was glad that Lao Mo and others were present.
"Dear Monsieur Maldini, thank you for making several trips back and forth for the sake of peace...... Fortunately, the dawn of peace has appeared, and this should be all thanks to you! Wu Zheng did not hesitate to praise, which made Wei Kuangguo a little unshuttening.
It is an honor in itself to mediate a truce between the two most powerful sides in the East Asian Sea.
Wei Kuangguo moved forward enthusiastically, causing Wu Zheng to retreat unnaturally.
"Your Excellency, King Wu, as long as you compensate the merchants of various countries for the loss of goods and three months' interest as promised, Kerry? General Thorne said that he could always conclude a treaty of friendship with you...... Kerry? General Thorne also said that let the damned war go away, and that he would be happy to enjoy a coffee ...... from Ireland with your Excellency. ”
Wu Zheng smiled, laughing harmlessly, "Of course, a person who does not keep his promise is by no means a good person...... This king is a good man, so he can naturally keep his promises. ”
"It is appropriate to compensate merchants of all countries for the loss of goods and three months' interest." Wu Zheng turned his head to Mo and said, "Mo Lao, clarify the money and pay one by one." ”
"Yes." Don't obsessively bow your head and answer.
Wei Kuangguo's smile became stronger, before he came, he was still afraid of Wu Zheng's "Salai", of course, in the past few years, Wei Kuangguo is convinced that he is a man who keeps his promises, but what Wei Kuangguo is worried about, Wu Zheng's unscrupulous and unbridled temper, hey-young man, who doesn't have an arrogant and uninhibited time? Propose the ownership of Dongfan Island...... Maybe it's just a momentary impulse, understand, understand.
But now it's all settled.
"Your Excellency King Wu, in view of the common desire and sincerity expressed by both sides for peace, then merciful Excellency, can you release General Nabul and the captured coalition soldiers...... Ahem, you know, it was a misunderstanding, a damn misunderstanding. ”
Wu Zheng laughed, "Of course." There is a way to be a guest from afar, even if it is a bad guest, it is also a guest, isn't it? ”
Wei Kuangguo was a little embarrassed, he nodded slightly, as if he was nodding, but it didn't seem to be, Quan should be nodding.
Wu Zheng ignored it and said with a smile: "This king is lenient, not for himself...... In this way, after the treaty was signed, the king would order the release of all the captives...... Do you need a ship to go back to the king? ”
Wei Kuangguo hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no...... Thank you for your kindness and kindness, and the Combined Fleet will send a ship to retrieve them. ”
"Well, that's good, that's good." Wu Zheng nodded with a smile on his face, as if he had really forgotten to ask Wei Kuangguo to convey his claim for the ownership of Dongfan Island.
Must have forgotten. Wei Kuangguo said to himself affirmatively in his heart.
"That'...... I'm going back, to Kerry? General Thorne conveyed your sincerity and generosity? Wei Kuangguo asked tentatively.
"Huh...... There's no hurry. Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Maldini is running hard, what's the matter...... I also have to let this king do a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, this king invites you to drink, drink a lot of wine, how about it? ”
Wei Kuangguo was shocked and hurriedly said, "Thank you for your generosity...... But peace has not yet been achieved...... In this way, after the signing of the treaty between the two sides, I will come to your door and go to your appointment. ”
The smile on Wu Zheng's face gradually faded, "Dear Mr. Maldini, speaking of which, this king has had a friendship with you for nearly five years, right?" ”
Wei Kuangguo's heart began to beat rapidly, "Of course, I am proud to be your friend. ”
"And Mr. Maldini and Kerry? General Thorne is also a close friend? ”
"It's ......."
"Based on Mr. Maldini's experience in China for more than ten years, people are close and distant from each other, so you can't generalize the whole sentence, you don't think it's a stranger, right?" Wu Shang said calmly.
"This ...... Of course. ”
"Then how can Monsieur Maldini favor one over the other? There is a way to be entrusted by people and loyal to people, and Mr. Maldini thinks that this king is young and can be bullied?! ”
Wei Kuangguo's face changed greatly, cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he said in his heart, here it is, sure enough.
He hurriedly said, "Your Excellency King Wu, please allow me to explain." ”
"Of course." Wu Zheng raised his hand and said.
Wei Kuangguo wiped his sweat and squeaked: "Your Excellency King Wu, in the previous naval battles, the naval division did have a certain advantage, but the strength of the combined fleet is still much higher than your three major naval divisions, which is beyond doubt. However, your Excellency suddenly made a territorial claim that had nothing to do with the naval battle, which is obviously ...... It's unreasonable! ”
"Go on."
"I advise Your Excellency to ...... As a friend's suggestion, I suggest that you make some appropriate requests, which may be accepted. ”
Wu Zheng smiled slowly, "Dear Mr. Maldini is really a good friend. ”
“……。”
"But this king and Kerry? Admiral Thorne and the Combined Fleet behind him are not friends! At least, before the treaty was signed, the enemy! Wu Zheng lowered his face, "They are invaders, and this king is a righteous resistant, Tanhu Mountain and the surrounding waters are my Chinese territorial waters...... The aggressor must pay the price, and the king can make any claim he sees fit. Mr. Maldini, isn't that the same rule of the game in Europe? ”
Wei Kuangguo looked at Wu Zheng in surprise, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, "...... That's probably true, but, Your Excellency King Wu, it is necessary to distinguish between the winners and the losers...... But now, apparently not. ”
Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "If you just need to distinguish the winners and losers, it will be much simpler...... Bothered Mr. Maldini to tell Kerry? General Thorne, if you want to fight, then fight. The king and 16,000 sailors can accompany him at any time. ”
Wei Kuangguo hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, can't you think about ...... anymore. ”
Wu Zheng smiled, "Dear Mr. Maldini, did you change your mind and be willing to go to the king's banquet today?" ”
Wei Kuangguo was stunned, bowed gloomily and left.
