Chapter 272: Farewell to Shanghai (3)
Haixian County Government.
Backyard study.
The top of Lan Weiwen's head was shaved shiny and shiny, as if it had been smeared with oil. He was casually wearing a black brocade robe, sitting in a precarious position, looking slightly nervous, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes were full of a trace of confusion.
Below the study sat a thin middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man has a white face and short beard, wears a small round hat, small eyes, high nose bridge, thin lips, a blue robe, and a thin body, giving people a thin feeling, as if he will fall down when the wind blows.
The middle-aged man is Lan Weiwen's staff member, named Duan Deyi.
Lan Weiwen sighed and said, "The news that Lord Li is about to go to Guangzhou to take up his post has spread all over the sea, and once Lord Li leaves the official position of Haidaotai, it will become vacant. Do you think you can succeed you? ”
Duan Deyi gently pinched his short beard and groaned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Whether you can take over Kaidotai depends on whether the adults are in the same boat as the Daotai adults." Or look at how much the adults usually show loyalty to the Daotai Lord. ”
Lan Weiwen said without hesitation: "Naturally, it is still a boat or loyal." ”
In fact, when Li Zhen just took over Haidaotai, Lan Weiwen just wanted to save her life, not follow Li Zhen with all her heart. When the two sides had more contact with each other for a long time, Lan Weiwen saw Li Zhen's style with her own eyes, and followed Li Zhen's successive defeats, and the mentality of foreigners gradually changed. Especially after Lan Weiwen changed her previous style and became diligent for the people, the people praised him, and even some people called him Lan Qingtian, which gave Lan Weiwen a great impact.
The usual subtlety is one reason, and the other reason is the potential that Li Zhen has shown.
Today, Li Zhen is only a young man in his early twenties, at best he is only twenty-three years old, but he is already the governor of Guangzhou, and he has become a veritable feudal official. Such a person will definitely be the fate of the marquis and the prime minister in the future. Lan Weiwen is just a small county commander, has no backstage ability, and if she can always follow Li Zhen to do things, her official fortune in the future will definitely be smoother.
Various factors are superimposed, and Lan Weiwen has already been convinced of Li Zhen.
Duan De listened to Lan Weiwen's words and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, rest assured, before the Lord of Dingdaotai leaves, I will definitely push you to the position of Haidaotai." The sea is the birthplace of the Daotai Lord, and it is also the foundation of the Daotai Lord, and he will not allow anyone to destroy it. Adults are loyal to the Dodai-sama, so the Dodai-sama will choose the adult to take over no matter what. ”
Lan Weiwen said again: "But can Lord Daotai do it? ”
Duan Deyi shook his head and reminded with a smile: "My lord, have you forgotten Xu Naizhao, the governor of Jiangsu?" ”
"Xu Naizhao?"
Lan Weiwen's eyes first showed a misty color, and then she suddenly realized and said happily: "If you hadn't reminded the official, I would have almost forgotten." At the beginning, Xu Naizhao wanted to deal with the adult, but in the end, he returned with a feather, and was severely scolded by the adult. Although Xu Naizhao hated adults in his heart, he was helpless. As long as the adults make a move, it is definitely a sure thing for the official to take over Kaidotai. ”
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Duan De smiled, and his face also showed joy.
Although Duan Deyi is just one of Lan Weiwen's staff, after Lan Weiwen becomes the Haidao platform, Duan Deyi can gradually come to the front of the stage and become an official under Lan Weiwen to handle things for Lan Weiwen.
……
The conference hall of the Beretta factory in Italy.
In the hall, a rectangular conference table sits on the left and right sides of the Beretta family's experts and administrators. In the center sits Maas, the de facto ruler of the company.
Maas's serious eyes swept over the people on the left and right one by one, and said solemnly: "I brought you here because of the news of General Li's promotion, and General Li is about to be transferred to Guangzhou to become the governor of Guangzhou." Our scope of business is now too small at sea, and we have to expand our business. I wanted to go south with General Li to open the Beretta family's munitions factory in Canton. Compared with Haiguang, there are more foreigners and more warlords, and our weapons will definitely make a lot of money. ”
"Maas, have you forgotten the lesson of one time?"
Suddenly, one of the gray-bearded old men spoke.
This man was both a man sent by the Beretta family to accompany Maas, and a weapons expert.
Maas shook his head and said: "I naturally haven't forgotten this incident, I clearly remember that I was carrying a wattle on my back to admit my mistakes. In front of hundreds of people, he lost the face of the Beretta family. I know that our family can't get rid of Li Zhen, so we must get Li Zhen's support. This time I went to Guangzhou to set up a factory, and I must discuss with Li Zhen in advance. Once the Guangzhou factory is successful, you can earn more profits. Since he couldn't get rid of it, he had been working with Li Zhen's warship and Li Zhen. ”
"Well said!"
The old man stroked his beard under his chin and nodded appreciatively.
……
Private room on the second floor of Dali Casino.
The fourth master sat quietly in the private room alone, but his face showed the same confused color as Lan Weiwen. Tong Si has already surrendered to Li Zhen and has become the only person under Li Zhen's command who has not seen the light. Li Zhen was an official in Hai, and the fourth master felt that he was useful, but once Li Zhen moved to Guangzhou, the situation in Haihai would definitely change to a certain extent. At that time, it will be very difficult for him to contact Li Zhen, let alone continue to work for Li Zhen.
The only way was to follow Li Zhen to Guangzhou.
But is Li Zhen willing?
The situation of the fourth master is not like that of other serious businessmen, who is a businessman on the surface, but he is already a person under Li Zhen. If you want to follow Li Zhen south, you still need to get Li Zhen's approval. If Li Zhen did not agree, he would go to Guangzhou arrogantly, which would definitely make Li Zhen unhappy.
The current Tong Si belongs to a person who suffers from gains and losses.
For a while, I thought about following Li Zhen south.
After a while, he thought that it was impossible for him to go south with this Li Zhen.
Two thoughts swirled in my head, extremely uncomfortable. Just as Tong Si hesitated, there was a sound of footsteps downstairs, but it was a burly man in a black power suit who walked over. The strong man bowed and saluted and said, "Lord Daotai, the fourth master, has arrived at the gate of the city and started to go to Daotai Mansion. Lord Daotai sent a message to you, go to Daotai Mansion immediately, saying that there is something to discuss. ”
"Okay, you stand down!"
Tong Si's eyes suddenly brightened, and he suddenly became energetic. Li Zhen took the initiative to send someone to him to discuss the matter, obviously putting him in his heart. At this moment, great hope rose in Tong Si's heart, thinking that he had great hope of going to Guangzhou. Tong Si got up and went to change into clean and fresh clothes, put on a small round hat, and hurriedly left the Dali casino.
When Tong Si received the news, Lan Weiwen, Ma Si and others also received Li Zhen's news, and they all went to Daotai Mansion to discuss things. Obviously, this is a plenary meeting to discuss the next direction and arrangement.
