Chapter 67: Be the new favorite of the nobles
Le Qing is now a headless fly at all, bumping east and west, looking for traces of those "horse bandits" everywhere without purpose. He would never have imagined that the "horse bandits" who robbed the gold cart would actually be the people of the Lion King Base, the destination of his gold transport. If he knew the truth of the matter, he was afraid that he would hate Lion Wang Jun and Cheng Lei for the rest of his life, because they completely hurt his originally pure heart.
However, he may never know the truth of the matter, because he led people to search for the grassland for nearly a week, and found no trace of the "horse bandits" at all. Le Qing has already had the idea of wanting to escape, and now it is futile to look for it, after such a long time, those "horse bandits" have obtained such a large sum of money, they will definitely disappear for a while. But what Le Qing lacks most now is time, and he knows that Xiu Lifu will definitely not give him more time to let him find those "horse bandits".
What to do? How good is that! Le Qing has been impatient since he found out two days ago that he couldn't find those "horse bandits". I can't waste any more time, I must find a way, but what can I do? Now he couldn't be stupid enough to go back to the Baren'o army, because if he did, he knew in his heart what Sheriff would do to him. Even if the gold is recovered, Xiu Lifu will not promote him, at most, he will not be promoted or demoted.
But now that he is looking for gold to no avail, it is impossible for Serif to let him go after he goes back, he is finished! Le Qing's heart struggled for a long time, and finally made up his mind, he packed up all the gold coins he carried with him, put them on his horse, found a war horse to take with him, and quietly left when the soldiers in the camp were already resting.
Le Qing didn't know where he was going, but he only knew that there was no place for him in the future Baron's European Kingdom and the Scorching Sun Federation. So he decided to cross the canyon fortress of the Itos and the Scorching Sun Federation and go to the country of Itos. Since the Baronians could no longer tolerate him, it was safest to go to the Baronon's opponent. Even if the Balonos knew that he was in the country of Yitos, it would not be so easy to capture him.
In the early morning of the next day, the 1,000-strong pursuit party led by Le Qing found that the leader who had led them in search of the "horse bandits" was gone. The pursuers had to be led by an officer back to the garrison of the Balono's army, Silverstone. After Lusov learned the news of Le Qing's escape, he couldn't help but lament, why did he take Le Qing to Xiurif to intercede in the first place? I'm afraid that Xiu Lifu won't take care of himself for a long time from now on, and I'm really uncomfortable.
A million gold victor is gone, and Xiurif's face has been clouded, and no one knows what his next plan is, but anyone knows that they must not make Xiu Lifu angry now. It was important not to let the anger of Suriv be taken out on himself, this was the consensus of the officers and soldiers in the Baron's army.
A few days later, the Lion King Base received a letter from Xiu Lifu, he explained to Cheng Lei about the previous gold coin robbery, and then told Cheng Lei that he was now raising funds and must bring the gift to the Lion King Base. Of course, Cheng Lei also replied to him, but the content of the reply was unceremoniously, saying that they Balonou people had no sincerity at all, so let them not waste manpower and financial resources, the Lion King Army now refused to accept their gifts, and would definitely not agree to their surrender.
Xiu Liv was completely silent at this moment, it can be said that he was extremely disappointed, and he had doubts in his heart, whether those gold coins were sent by the Lion King Army to rob them, otherwise why would they not want the gold coins they sent again?
But even if it wasn't the Lion King's army, Surif would have counted the account on their heads, because it was lost because it was given to them the gold coins. And now that the Lion King Army has rejected their request, then it must be written on their heads. However, now that Xiurif has figured out the strength of the Lion King Army and knows that they are even more difficult to deal with than the Federation Army, he can only go to trouble the Lion King Army after taking the Federation Army now. Otherwise, if the troops were divided to the south, not only would it be very dangerous if the troops were dispersed, but it would be much better to deal with them one by one than to take two sides alone.
Lion King Base Command Center.
Cheng Lei was sitting in his office, talking to the person in charge of Lion Bank: "Now that the Itos government has accepted our loan, then we can continue to lend when they need it." But when the time is right, for example, when they need a loan, then we make a reluctant appearance and lend to them. And we have to ask them to give us a certificate of national debt, which will be very useful in the future! ”
The person in charge of the Lion King Bank nodded hurriedly and said, "General, everything is under your orders." Thank you for your trust and cultivation in me, I Duan Zhengming can have today, it is all the gift of the general, I will definitely go to the soup for the general! ”
Cheng Lei couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say his own name, when he first met this Duan Zhengming, he thought that this person took the name of the emperor of Dali in the Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Dragon. This Duan Zhengming did not live up to the domineering name his parents gave him, he was very talented in finance, and after the patient guidance of Cheng Lei's professor, he made the Lion King Bank prosperous.
The idea of making the lion king yuan higher than the deposit interest rate of gold and silver coins was his idea, and as soon as this idea came out, the lion king yuan was obviously much more popular than gold and silver coins, and even gradually replaced gold and silver coins as the hard currency of the Liedong Federation. Although a big reason for this is actually because of the strength of the Lion King Army and the fact that the people trust the strength of the Lion King Army very much, but being able to come up with such a brilliant idea completely shows that Cheng Lei is not wrong, this Duan Zhengming is indeed a talent.
After listening to Duan Zhengming's loyalty there, Cheng Lei said: "Xiao Duan, I believe that you have the ability to be in charge of the Lion King Bank." In the future, our Lion Bank will become the cornerstone of the Lion King Army and even the Lion King Base to continue to develop and grow. You don't have to show me loyalty and promise anything, you just need to work hard in the future, you know? ”
Duan Zhengming immediately stood up and saluted: "Yes!" Absolutely obey the general's orders, Duan Zhengming will only obey the general's orders in the future, and it is guaranteed that the development of Lion King Bank will be better, you will see my performance in the future! ”
Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll see your performance in the future, Xiaoduan, don't let me down, I'm very optimistic about you so I let you do this position!" ”
After Duan Zhengming left, Cheng Lei said to the back room: "Come out!" ”
A young man in his twenties came out of the inner room, wearing a general's school uniform and a major general's epaulettes. Qi Mi looked at Cheng Lei with a smile: "Captain, your method of training people is the same as before, and it is even more perfect!" ”
Cheng Lei said: "Don't come with me like this, I asked you to come because I wanted you to help me as a staff officer, how about the person in charge of the bank I chose?" ”
Qi Mi gave a thumbs up: "Insightful, thoughtful, is a rare talent!" However, although this person is capable, he is not very bold, so you have to cultivate it further! ”
Cheng Lei nodded and said: "You are very right, indeed, this Duan Zhengming is a little conservative, and he lacks some courage." However, he is the head of a bank, not the head of a certain regiment or the head of a factory, so he is better to be conservative, too radical I am afraid that he will lose the bank's gold coins! ”
Qi Mi said: "That's the same reason, captain, you still have an accurate eye for people and will pick and employ people." But you brought me here today, not just to let me see if he can be the person in charge, right? ”
Cheng Lei smiled: "Sure enough, your eyes are poisonous, of course I didn't call you here just for this, you are the deputy leader of the Lion King base, so you should also take responsibility for the Lion King Bank." All non-military affairs are within the scope of your responsibility, so I called you here to tell you this, and let Duan Zhengming be responsible for you in the future! ”
Qi Mi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Captain, you can't do this!" When you were preparing to establish the Lion Bank, you said that you would be in charge of the Lion Bank. Why did you change your mind again now? I'm in charge? Besides, I'm busy with things from the car factory, and with the power plant, and I'm also juggling the oil mine and the refinery. I don't want to mention anything else, what aircraft test sites, tank modification workshops, arsenals, logistics departments...... It's all part of my mandate. Even if I have three heads and six arms, I can't keep busy, and now you still want me to be in charge of the Lion King Bank? You've got my fate! ”
Cheng Lei shook his head and said, "You, although you are extremely smart, you just don't know how to do things!" Don't you know how to recruit some people to form an office of the deputy head of the Lion King base? Then you have two secretaries by your side, whether it's a man or a woman, I don't care, by the way, don't you have a female secretary, then match another one! Then arrange a dozen or so people in the office, and if there is anything to sign and do things directly with you, and divide them into categories, isn't everything OK? ”
Qi Mi's eyes lit up immediately after listening to it, as if a person who had been in the dark for a long time suddenly saw the light, and he immediately constructed a plan in his mind according to Cheng Lei's words. Qi Mi was a little ashamed, because what Cheng Lei said was the normal state of office for very ordinary government officials in the previous world, but he didn't think of it at all before, he did everything by himself, and he was as tired as a dog.
Qi Mi followed Cheng Lei's words at this time and said: "Is it possible to directly set up our Lion King base to manage the offices of those factories?" For example, the office of the oil refinery and the office of the automobile manufacturing plant, how many people are arranged in it to handle the affairs of various factories and other places for our Lion King Base Command Center? ”
"You're very good at learning and applying, so it's much easier for you? Do you still use it all day as if you're going to be tired to death? Cheng Lei nodded at him and smiled.
Qi Mi has always done what he says, and he immediately said goodbye to Cheng Lei and went to do the things he needed. Cheng Lei shouted behind him: "Qi Mi, don't forget it for me, remember that the Lion King Bank will also belong to you in the future!" ”
Cheng Lei is particularly satisfied with the thriving situation of the Lion King base, and now the aircraft test site has begun to manufacture a new batch of aircraft, and it is a new model developed by the Dieter brothers after their efforts. This new model has lower fuel consumption than the Lion King No. 1, and the safety factor is higher, so Cheng Lei has agreed to mass production, investing 500,000 gold victors in advance, and producing forty or fifty aircraft first.
The fifty Lion King No. 1 aircraft produced before cost them all the money of the Lion King base, and they spent about six or seven hundred thousand gold victors on research and manufacturing to mass production. At that time, although Cheng Lei and them were so painful that they almost chopped their hands, after they were produced, they did not regret it, because these fighters can be said to be the nuclear weapons of the Lion King Base, and they are the key to winning the war.
Now because the technology has matured, the cost of manufacturing aircraft has also dropped, but each aircraft still requires tens of thousands of gold victors. Otherwise, they still won't feel distressed, and they will expect these planes to help them defeat the enemy and achieve a complete victory in the future, so they can't be stingy at all.
It is impossible for Cheng Lei to be stingy with spending this money, because with the support of Lion King Bank, this money is nothing at all! Moreover, since the country of Itos has already borrowed money from the Lion King Bank, it is still in the form of treasury bonds, so they can only follow in the footsteps of the Lion King Army in the future. Soon, Cheng Lei will be able to let them point where to fight, and let them go east, they don't dare to go west!
Now that all the buildings outside the car factory have been built, they are only waiting for the power plant to be built, and then they can use electricity to make cars. Although it is impossible for the technology in this world to use machines for sheet metal and car body processing, it is absolutely impossible to use all the large and small screws and the large number of power tools that Cheng Lei sent people to buy from the West without electricity. That's why Cheng Lei asked the car factory to be a little slower, wait for the power plant, and after the power plant starts, the car factory will start mass production of cars immediately.
Now the black car that looks like a shell in Western countries is actually the only one of these cars, and there is one in the warehouse of Duke Dozan. It was bought by Duke Dozan a long time ago, and it cost him thousands of gold to Vic, but now it's good, the car is just an ornament, and Duke Dozan can't drive a car anyway.
The car that Cheng Lei wants to build is the ordinary car in the previous world, and the ordinary car in the previous world is much better looking than the car in this world, the only car in the shape of a shell. Cheng Lei doesn't believe that those nobles, officials and rich people will not be tempted, and he is confident that these cars can become the new favorites of those people.
The new favorite of the previous nobles was a thoroughbred horse called Hanerliang, which was large and enduring, and was more beautiful than ordinary horses, so it was loved by those who came to the top. Cheng Lei was determined to make those people stop looking at the Han Erliang horse, but make them completely like the cars made in their base. (To be continued.) )
