Chapter 64: Interests above all else
"Don't say it's useless." Zhang Cheng took a sip of the wine glass, lowered his eyelids slightly, his face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here?" You know, I know it. Now that we have a common goal, don't think you can get away and give up this great opportunity. ”
After a pause, a look of indifference flashed in the depths of his eyes, "Although I don't know the reason for the time being, what he is doing now has made me feel dangerous and uneasy. I'll just ask you one thing. Zhang Cheng put down his wine glass and reached out to tap it lightly on the table. looked at Zhang Moyang opposite with cold eyes, and said coldly, "Do you want to cooperate?" ”
Zhang Moyang, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, was distracted for a moment, and then hooked the corners of his mouth and chuckled. Sighing lightly, he stood up and walked to Zhang Cheng's side, smiled and stretched out his hand, "Happy cooperation." ”
When Zhang Cheng walked out of the big world nightclub, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening. At some point, it started to drizzle in the sky. There was no lightning and thunder, no howling wind, and the hazy drizzle was silent, like a layer of mist that permeated the heavens and the earth. London's reputation as a foggy capital is well deserved.
A dimly lit canopy. Thousands of homes around are brightly lit. The drizzle was lubricated like silk and gathered an extremely shallow layer of ripples on the ground. Drops of rain fall to the ground. Under the illumination of the street lamp, there are circles of flowing light. There are fewer pedestrians on the road, and the streets are quieter and quieter away from the drunken nightclubs.
"Sir." He Laosan and Guan Kuo hurriedly got out of the car and trotted behind Zhang Cheng.
"It's fine." Zhang Cheng smiled and waved his hand: "I just want to walk by myself." ”
Zhang Chengcheng, wearing a shirt and trousers, walked down the drizzly and hazy streets. Guan Kuo followed behind him, looking around vigilantly. He Laosan drove the car and followed behind. And in the distance, a low-key sedan followed. Sitting on it were several veterans who had followed Zhang Cheng back from the battlefield in Northern Italy.
Since discovering that he was being followed, the defense force around Zhang Cheng has increased rapidly.
In fact, Zhang Cheng still didn't understand what Zhang Yao wanted to do until this moment. His actions now are more about precaution. The intuition brought down from the battlefield made him feel dangerous, and Zhang Cheng, who had experienced such a bizarre event, would never take any potential threat lightly. Although he didn't know what Zhang Yao wanted to do, Zhang Cheng would definitely not be merciful. As for Zhang Yao's illustrious identity, so what?
With his hands in his trouser pockets, he felt the coolness of the hazy drizzle falling on his body. Zhang Cheng walked slowly to the end of the street before stopping. After standing for a while, he suddenly shook his head slightly, and chuckled, "Whatever, since you want to be unfavorable to me, then strike first." I don't care who you are. ”
At the same time, at the other end of the concession, in the office building of the well-known Pfizer pharmaceutical company, Zhang Yao also received a report from his housekeeper.
"Zhang Tuohai is missing?" Zhang Yao looked up from the pile of documents with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, young master." The gray-haired butler bowed slightly, and said with a solemn expression, "The last place to appear is in his love. people's homes. Our people have already gone to see it, there is no trace left, it was done by professionals. ”
Zhang Yao folded his hands on his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly. After a moment, he chuckled, "Interesting." ”
After waving his hand to let the housekeeper leave, Zhang Yao leaned back on the wide leather seat, stretched out his hand and gently tapped on the tabletop, looking at the documents on the table with a silent expression.
The main reason why he paid so much attention to Zhang Cheng was that the Zhang family's inside line in the navy had received news that Zhang Cheng had provided the navy with an aviation development plan. The previous depth charges and active sonar were surprising enough. Although he didn't make much money after selling to the navy, Zhang Cheng successfully got in touch with the navy.
The Zhang family revealed in the navy's insider that the navy's top brass has already begun to discuss the development of air forces. If that's all it takes, the Zhang family also has its own aircraft factory. It's a big deal to compete when the Navy is bidding.
However, Zhang Yao spent money to buy a designer in Zhang Cheng's arsenal, and learned from him that Zhang Cheng had a number of epoch-making aircraft design drawings in his hands.
Zhang Cheng is very strict with all kinds of drawings and materials, and no one wants to see them in his spare time. However, just a few words are enough to surprise the professional designers. What's more, Zhang Cheng already has a complete plan.
The clever Zhang Yao keenly discovered Zhang Cheng's intentions. First establish a relationship with the Navy, and then urge the Navy to vigorously develop air forces, which are still in the blank stage. Then use the epoch-making aircraft to win a huge amount of orders with an absolute advantage. Not only can you make huge profits, but more importantly, you can get a number from the top of the army. After receiving the protection of the army, almost no one could move him.
Zhang Yao admires Zhang Cheng's series of designs very much. thinks that with Zhang Cheng's ability, if he is from a big family, he must be a figure who can defy the sky. If the Navy really passed the resolution to vigorously develop aviation, Zhang Cheng would be unoptimistic at this time, and the large-scale purchase and expansion of aircraft factories in the mainland would bring him huge profits and huge influence!
In fact, the reason why Zhang Yao paid attention to Zhang Cheng's recent actions was because of Zhang Cheng's seemingly stupid behavior at this time! Once things successfully develop according to Zhang Cheng's prediction, Zhang Cheng, who has laid out in advance, will eat the biggest piece of cake.
As a good businessman, as long as you have enough profits, you have to do business even at the risk of killing your head!
Zhang Yao first asked the designers of the aircraft factory under the Zhang family, and learned from them that it was impossible to come up with advanced designs that crossed the era in the short term. Zhang Cheng has it, others don't. The huge cake was about to be placed on the table, but Zhang Yao found that he was not qualified to serve on the table?
Thinking of the current situation of the Zhang family, Zhang Yao's father is fighting for the throne of the head of the family with all his might. Once Zhang Yao was able to take down such a huge piece of cake that was about to be sent to the table from Zhang Cheng's hands, Zhang Yao's father was almost qualified to inherit the position of head of the family.
The benefits of all parties add up, and it is enough for Zhang Yao to do anything.
There is no longer any point in formally acquiring Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng invested a huge amount to build an aircraft factory in China, how could he sell the design in his hands? And the current Zhang Cheng is not an ordinary person, and he has a layer of military uniform as protection. Some conventional means did not work on him either.
Then it can only be by special means.
Zhang Yao carefully investigated everything about Zhang Cheng. When I was a child, my home was flooded, and my entire hometown was flooded. All the loved ones were killed in the flood. However, at the age of more than ten years, Zhang Cheng escaped and began a life of wandering for many years, until he became a mercenary in the Doge of Milan and rose to prominence in battle. Then he came to the London Concession, got sulfonamides from the German Empire, and became famous in one fell swoop.
Zhang Yao was very puzzled how this guy who had never studied in college managed to come up with sulfonamides, depth charges, active sonar, and epoch-making aircraft? "Is there really such a self-taught super genius in this world?"
If it's just one thing, or just one aspect of talent, forget it. But Zhang Cheng seems to have dabbled in all aspects, and his all-round performance makes people can't believe it no matter what. This kind of amazing and brilliant character is beyond the scope of ordinary people's cognition. Even if he is as good as Zhang Yao, he will be jealous.
Zhang Cheng doesn't need to be from a prominent background, he can have everything just by relying on his own mind. Who can not be jealous of this kind of thing?
After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Yao noticed a flaw in Zhang Cheng. That is, Zhang Cheng is a loner.
All of Zhang Cheng's relatives were buried in the flood many years ago, and now he definitely doesn't have any family strength to borrow. The only person who can be counted as his own person is his girlfriend. If something happens to Zhang Cheng, then everything under his name will lose its owner. At that time, Zhang Yao, who was close to the water and got the moon first, could easily take over everything that Zhang Cheng left behind. Whether it's all kinds of design materials or his beautiful girlfriend. As for wealth, of course, it is used to deal with all parties.
When the stakes are big enough, what don't you dare to do?
Zhang Yao felt an inexplicable irritability surging up in his heart. Raise your hand and pull out a cigarette and light it. After taking a deep breath, the spicy taste fills the chest.
"What if you get it?" Zhang Yao narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile. "I moved you, and no one will stand up for you. And if you dare to touch me, can you bear the cruel revenge of the Zhang family? At this moment, Zhang Yao felt that he had won the battle. It's a great feeling to hit someone at will, but others can't fight back.
Zhang Yao never thought that Zhang Cheng would take the initiative. He thinks that Zhang Cheng must be anxious at the moment, and maybe he will take the initiative to come to take refuge. Because the Zhang family is not a force that he can offend. Walking on the street with gold bricks, how can you not find a strong bodyguard?
"It's a shame." Zhang Yao shook his head with a smile, opened the drawer and took out a photo. The girl in the photo is smiling, and her big bright eyes are as pure as the bright night sky. She has long silky hair, fair skin, and a slender neck like a swan. Zhang Yao's eyes narrowed.
As a child of an excellent family with a noble birth, Zhang Yao, who has performed well since he was a child, has his own pride in his heart. He has never looked down on those vulgar fans, and even the most beautiful women are just playthings in his eyes. Until he saw the picture. Just like Zhang Cheng was attracted to Central Park that day, Zhang Yao was also deeply attracted.
"Even if it's just for her, I can't keep you." Zhang Yao slowly lowered his eyelids and whispered to himself.
Personal, family interests are above all else. Zhang Yaocai doesn't care how much Zhang Cheng has contributed to the country and the nation, and whether Zhang Cheng will make more contributions in the future. He doesn't care what kind of loss he wants to do to the country and the nation. For Zhang Yao, who was born in a family, as long as it is good for himself, it is enough. Even if it is to slaughter the gods and kill the Buddha, what can it be!
