Chapter 54 Saroyan No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant

Speaker Peters left the "Rhyme of the Elves" winery with two bottles of red wine in his arms and a heavy "harvest" in his heart. To be honest, he rarely had this kind of situation in his life that he couldn't control the situation, and he couldn't help but admire Young Master Liang's free control.

Young Master He Liang just threatened himself with staring into the abyss, and Speaker Peters estimated that he would have some courage to fight him. After all, he has experienced several ups and downs to achieve this position. As long as you stabilize Young Master Liang first, and then take the opportunity to eliminate the evidence, all that remains is to fight with words. No matter how bad it is, there is a chance to escape from Saroyan by boat and leave the Continent of Order.

But to Peters' surprise...... When he thought that this meeting would end like this, Young Master Liang actually talked about cooperation.

Know that you have just used dishonorable means against him. I'm afraid that even an adult will fall into the refreshment of turning the tables at this time, and then chase after the victory with the attitude of a winner and force himself to agree to more conditions. But Young Master Liang showed a style that was beyond ordinary people, making it difficult for him to raise the courage to continue to oppose him.

Plane?

Speaker Peters didn't know why he agreed to invest in this unreliable flying machine research. After all, paper airplanes are one thing, iron airplanes are another. But the prospect of the aircraft depicted by Young Master Liang is indeed tempting...... Moreover, the empire and the Black Fire Company cooperated to build a steel plant, and the Holy See of the Supreme Good helped the Black Fire Company build a shipyard, so the Council must do something to win over the Black Fire Company.

Aircraft Research Institute...... Think of it as a favor investment.

Returning to the council, Peters immediately called for a halt to all investigations and accusations against Master Liang and the Black Fire Company, and made a 180-degree turn for the Saroyan City Hall to do its best to cooperate with the Black Fire Company in building the factory. The inconsistent instructions make everyone wonder what the iron-fisted speaker wants to do.

However, since the speaker has given the order, there is no need for the Saroyan City Hall to continue to trouble the Black Fire Company. In fact, the more factories the Black Fire Company has in Saroyangai, the more welcoming the city hall becomes. This increases the tax revenue of Saroyan, solves the employment of the citizens of Saroyan, and raises the industrial level of Saroyan. The existence of a mega corporation is also a business card for Saroyan to the outside world, and the new fourth-generation magic potential opportunity potion and "mana-returning" drink have begun to benefit the city of Saroyan.

Restricting the Black Fire Company itself is also harming Saroyan's interests.

Now that Speaker Peters had changed his attitude towards the Black Fire Company, the Saroyan City Hall immediately sent someone to the Elysée Avenue to apologize and set up a department dedicated to the Black Fire Company.

A bad thing turned into a good thing under Da Liang's operation.

And Connie, who was waiting to get his property back, kept waiting......

Soon, the Whitehead family's investment was in place. At Da Liang's request, the Saryan City Hall cooperated in selling a barren rocky beach near the sea on the northern outskirts of the city to the Black Fire Company. Construction of the first steel plant in Saroyan began, and the beach was set aside for the shipyard later.

In the plan, the stone and earthwork excavated from the steel mill were built, mixed with cement to reclaim to the east. Fill in shallow beaches and push the coast into deep water to create an artificial pier. In this way, the ore purchased from outside can be directly transported to the steel plant by sea, and the steel produced by the steel plant can also be transported by sea, which greatly saves the cost of transportation.

In the future, the slag left over from the production of steel will continue to be filled into the sea to expand the scale of the harbor. The larger the port, not only to increase throughput, but also to lay the foundation for the construction of large shipyards in the future.

In Daliang's long-term plan, this shipyard is not limited to the manufacture of surface ships.

The fact that the steel mill is being built every day is big news for Saroyan. The citizens are very happy, they don't care about the pollution caused by the steel mills, this era...... Towering chimneys are at the forefront of fashion. The establishment of a large factory means that many people can find a job with a good income, which can bring orders and wealth to many supporting enterprises.

Everyone hoped that the Saroyan No. 1 Iron Works would produce steel as soon as possible, but Mr. Rookes was very upset, feeling that he had been deceived by Speaker Peters.

"Peters, you've done something that harms the interests of your investors." The elderly Mr. Rookes had lost his hair, but he was still very strong. This time he personally came to the Capitol to confront Peters, and as he spoke, he tapped the floor with his cane to show his anger, and he almost yelled at Peters, "What's going on at the Saroyan No. 1 Iron and Steel Plant?" I remember you promised me that you would stop the construction of this steel plant. This is a billion-dollar order, and the Rookes consortium does not allow any surprises. ”

Speaker Peters had already prepared his speech, and he said to Mr. Rookes kindly: "Mr. Rookes, you are one of my investors, and I am willing to facilitate you within my ability.

But in this case, your request is a bit excessive.

You should be very aware of how many workers are needed in a steel plant...... Around a steel mill, 10,000 or even 20,000 people can find work. That's 20,000 adults, behind them are 20,000 families and tens of thousands of votes. The Saroyan City Hall was under a lot of pressure when it was doing this.

The officials of the Marcellus Council and the Saroyan City Hall are all elected by the people, and a single vote of the electorate can decide who goes up and who comes down. Once the accusations against the Blackfire are defeated, do you know how many people will come down from their positions under the counterattack of the Blackfire and the Empire?

This is against the citizens of Saroyan, and I am responsible for my subordinates, many of whom depend on this job to support their families, and I cannot let them lose their jobs because of my own interests, so I have stopped the charges against Blackfire.

I bear all the consequences alone. ”

Rookes was still angry, he knew that politicians had a mouth that could tell the dead alive, and what Peters said was not a reason at all, and he was not speaking to himself, but to those who were outside the door to listen to the news for various parliamentarians and officials.

As long as Peters can win the hearts and minds of the council and the Saroyan City Hall, a Rux consortium can't do anything about him. You don't invest in me, you have people to fill the void.

Rookes asked, "Can you afford our loss?" ”

Peters replied righteously, "Mr. Rookes, what have you lost now?" Do you think that if you block the Black Fire Company from building a steel plant, there will be no other companies to build a steel plant? If a large number of officials and parliamentarians lose the trust of their constituents because of this incident, how are you prepared to bear their losses?

Mr. Rookes.

I advise you, instead of using dishonorable means against your competitors, go back and improve the quality of the steel at the Rookes Steelworks. The Empire is building a warship this time, and if the quality of steel produced by the Rookes Iron Works far exceeds that of the Saroyan First Iron Works, no one will dare not use your steel. ”
