"Good, good!" Xu Mu finally laughed, "Hearing you say this, I feel that this matter is not only not risky, but a great benefit." ”

Zhang Cheng put down the wine glass, folded his hands and crossed his fingers. Squinted his eyes and whispered, "The regret of the battle of Northern Italy is that there are very few planes on both sides, and they are all used as reconnaissance aircraft. If an air battle breaks out, even a small-scale air battle will become an important gap in the army aviation. We are now investing all our efforts to buy and build an aircraft factory, not throwing money in vain, but walking in the forefront of the development of the times! When the military began to need aircraft, we were able to take out aircraft on a large scale, and they were of good quality and guaranteed productivity. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Cheng stood up and walked to the sofa where Xu Mu was sitting. Raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a serious voice: "At that time, you will find that compared with the benefits obtained from the layout in advance, our current investment is not worth mentioning at all." ”

"Then why buy a tractor factory?" Xu Mu raised his head and looked at Zhang Cheng suspiciously.

"That's another project." Zhang Cheng grinned at the corners of his mouth and showed a white tooth, and responded with a smile.

Xu Mu left Zhang Cheng's office satisfied, at least on the surface. He will travel to his home country for a large-scale acquisition campaign. Including the construction of the factory, the recruitment and training of workers, the recruitment and training of design talents, the supply of raw materials, the purchase of machines, and so on, all aspects of the affairs will be done by Xu Mu.

"I really don't see rabbits and eagles." After Xu Mu left, Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile.

Anyway, no matter how good the relationship is. Xu Mu's essence is still a businessman. It is already his instinct to avoid risks and make profits. Even if Zhang Cheng said that the sky was wild, he just went to the local area to do it with the mentality of a part-time job. Instead of taking a stake in Pfizer and the London arsenal directly. Because he can't see a bright future for the time being.

Zhang Cheng doesn't have any business talent he can trust. He knew not mercenaries who didn't know anything, but pure soldiers. As for Zhang Yao, who is the enemy who took away his family property, and he is also an excellent businessman with a keen eye, it is even more impossible to cooperate. You don't have to think about it to know that once the Zhang family intervenes, everything that Zhang Cheng is going to do will be useless. Compared with the capital predators in these professions, Xu Mu is far behind.

For the time being, Zhang Cheng could only coax Xu Mu to help first. When the power rises in the future, there will naturally be countless talents flocking to his side.

Zhang Cheng knows very well in his heart that the golden age of the aviation industry is coming. You can lay out the layout yourself in advance, and you can design and build the best aircraft. But once a powerful force reaches out to him, it is impossible to resist it by its own strength alone. This is also the only reason why Zhang Cheng must do business with the army. Without the protection of the army, even if you make a good thing, it is just meat in someone else's mouth!

Zhang Cheng is not a person who is afraid of things and trouble. He memorized everything in a small notebook, and it would naturally pay off in the future.

In this era, the living environment is cruel and the competition is fierce. Except for the Ming Empire, which was too rich and lived too leisurely. In other countries, there is hardly a single person who can stand out in all aspects of the situation who is a waste. This point is completely different from the Ming Empire.

The heroes of these countries knew that competing with the Ming Empire in the traditional field was completely hitting a stone with an egg, and there was no possibility of winning at all. But in order to seize profits, food was eventually seized from the Ming Empire, which occupied the largest cake. That would have to be a different way.

Taking advantage of the timing of the Second Industrial Revolution, emerging powers are beginning to bet their hopes on new technological applications. For example, submarines, tanks, airplanes. When all countries began to pay attention to these new weapons, it was impossible for the Ming Empire to remain unaware of what to do.

When a group of old guys in their sixties and seventies continued to be in power. It is impossible to catch up, and there is no problem with vigilance. And this is Zhang Cheng's opportunity

Time flies, and one day in late June, the sky in London is overcast with thick dark clouds. A light rain enveloped the entire city.

Huge factories are clustered on both sides of the Thames, and countless huge chimneys are spewing huge smoke into the sky at all times. The environment here is very polluted, and even the rain has an unsettling sour smell.

'Zi~~~' A black car stopped in the rain at the entrance of Alice's Piano School on Guangzhou Road in the northwest corner of the concession area. Raindrops fall on the car and splash water.

Raising his hand to look at the time on his watch, the corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth sitting in the car hooked a faint smile. Turning his eyes out the window, looking at the simple and elegant school shrouded in the rain, his eyes were slightly distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He Laosan, who was driving in the front row, and Guan Kuo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at each other, and there was a smile in their eyes. Next to Zhang Cheng was a bouquet of twelve pink roses, as well as a beautifully packaged gift box. Not to mention gifts, just by looking at the roses, you know that this is for girls.

"Xiao Xuan, come on." An Englishwoman with long, silky blond hair ran into a classroom, took the hand of a long-haired girl sitting at the piano, and shouted excitedly, "Come and see, your boyfriend has come to pick you up." ”

"Wow~~~" One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the more than ten girls in the classroom all stood up in surprise. I've only heard about it all along, but I didn't expect the real person to finally come.

"Don't talk nonsense." The long-haired girl's cheeks flew two flushes, and she raised her hand to brush the misty hair around her ears, gently broke free of her hand, and complained softly.

"Haha~~~" When a group of teenage girls get together, it's very scary, especially when they talk about men. The girls gathered around the long-haired girl and teased.

For these young girls from wealthy families, the most important thing in life may be to get married. Whether it's for marriage or something else. In this day and age, it's definitely not unusual to marry before the age of twenty.

When the girls were laughing and laughing. A tall, fair-skinned, and smart-eyed girl sitting in the corner bit her lip, stood up quietly, and walked out of the classroom.

The long-haired girl who was ridiculed by a group of classmates looked slightly stunned, and then retracted her gaze and continued to deal with this group of gossipy classmates.

Lin Run'e stood next to the window with the corners of her mouth pursed, looking at the black car at the entrance of the school not far away through the layers of rain curtains. She knew that Zhang Cheng was inside.

"Damn, scoundrel." Lin Run'e pursed the corners of her mouth, and muttered in a low voice with complicated eyes. She is definitely not in a good mood at the moment.

When Zhang Cheng was temporarily busy with the things at hand more than two months ago, he began to take the initiative to approach the long-haired girl who had made his heart flutter when he was in Central Park.

The girl's name is Xu Xuan, her father runs a company, and her mother is a teacher at the Alice Piano School where she attends. And she is also an only child who is extremely rare in this era.

In fact, the Chinese people have always favored sons over daughters for thousands of years, but there is only one only daughter in the case of good family conditions, which is enough to see how much her parents dot on her.

After experiencing this bizarre event, Zhang Cheng's mentality was inevitably affected to a certain extent. Cherishing what is in front of you has become the most practical idea in Zhang Cheng's heart. Since you are tempted, then take the initiative to pursue it, Zhang Cheng from modern time and space does not have a twisted and pinched style of hypocrisy.

The results can be imagined. Zhang Cheng, who has been cultivated in modern time and space for a long time and has learned countless experiences on the Internet, took the initiative and quickly gained the heart of a girl.

It is also strange to say that Xu Xuan, who has always been unpretentious to the suitors who gather like bees around him, nodded in agreement under Zhang Cheng's continuous pursuit. Could it be that the pickling technology of modern time and space has reached this point?

In fact, although Zhang Cheng himself is not very handsome, he is definitely a great young man. The experience of studying and living in modern time and space has made him impeccable in both his manners and details, and it is far easier to gain favor than those high-ranking lords of this era. The most important thing is that after the baptism of brutal war, Zhang Cheng's decisive temperament attracts the attention and attention of the opposite sex.

Other than that, it's a matter of practicality. As a powerful and promising acting commander of the London garrison, he is also a young billionaire with a good performance in the war. Xu Xuan's parents naturally will not object, in fact, the influence of parents on this kind of thing is extremely huge, especially in this era. If you don't oppose it, you support it. As for Xu Xuan's suitors, they can only grit their teeth secretly. In this era of male superiority and inferiority, it is really not easy to find the happiness you want.

The hazy drizzle was still falling, and as the bell rang, it was finally time for school to end.

The crisp ringing of the bell woke Zhang Cheng from his contemplation. He smiled, picked up his umbrella, got up, pushed the door open, and walked down.

"Goodbye." Xu Xuan, who had red cheeks, raised his hand to pin his hair under the burning gaze of his classmates, and said goodbye softly and left. Walked under Zhang Cheng's umbrella and walked towards the school gate together.

"Huh~~~" Lin Run'e, who was standing behind with her head down, raised her hand and slapped her slender neck, her face was also crimson.

When she just left, Zhang Cheng glanced at her, which made Lin Run'e's heart jump suddenly. Looking at the car that gradually disappeared into the rain, Lin Run'e pursed her mouth, picked up her umbrella from the umbrella stand and walked out of the teaching building.

"Rest well and don't stay up late. Happy birthday. Zhang Cheng stood outside Xu Xuan's house and instructed softly.

At this time, the light rain that had been falling all day had stopped, the air was fresh, and a bright moon in the sky spread the bright moonlight on the earth. After eating dinner together, Zhang Cheng sent Xu Xuan home.

watched Xu Zhuxuan's figure walk into the house. Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and turned back to his car.

"Sir." He Laosan, who was driving, turned to look at Zhang Cheng and said with a solemn expression, "Someone is following us." ”

Zhang Cheng's body paused slightly, and slowly lowered his eyelids, "Go check it." ”

"Yes."
