Volume 1 Section 258 Ruthless oath
A lot of things make no sense if you put them apart.
Because of this, Su Hao left angrily for the previous "Red Smoke Group", did not do anything to stop it, and did not continue to explain.
"Hongguang Group" is the second consortium to contact itself. If Ding Yuan's attitude was no different from that of Zuguang, Su Hao would not keep it either. He needs a shrewd friend who has a sense of identity with him, not a speculator who only sees the benefits and immediately reverses the camp as soon as others bid higher.
Ding Yuan's face suddenly became gloomy.
Two hundred thousand tons of food is not a small amount. What's more, there are other huge quantities of various raw materials. Taken together, it's staggering.
The outbreak of the virus has devastated the entire world and the entire financial system in peacetime. Although the Triple Tripartite had been formulating a plan for the issuance of blue coins since before the war, the credibility and recognition of this new currency did not meet the standards of the old dollar or renminbi. Su Hao has made it clear that he doesn't need blue coins, because the military department will not supply the same goods just because the 11th Independent Army has enough currency. After the Black Age, business transactions were more about bartering.
Looking at Su Hao's crystal clear eyes, Ding Yuan felt a little difficult.
He didn't know what Lu Dao was for, he felt that there were two voices in his head at the same time———— reason told him that this kind of conditions and requirements were extremely absurd, and there was no need to agree. The best way to deal with it is to turn around and leave without answering. However, subconsciously, Ding Yuan felt that he should believe in Su Hao. He is, after all, a brigadier general with a base city under construction. On this point alone, giving and giving will be at least proportional to what is rewarded. Even in the worst-case scenario, should 80 or 90 percent of the cost be recovered?
Life is a fucking gamble.
Ding Yuan now truly understands the true meaning of this sentence.
But what about the experience? The decision still has to be made, and hesitation will not help solve the problem. The reason why the "Hongguang" group has been able to continue from peacetime to the present day can almost be said to be its strong support for the government. At that time, Ding Yuan had just become the chairman of the group, and many family members were dismissive of this young controller, believing that he was just an idiot and waste who inherited his father's bloodline and actually didn't understand anything. Many people objected to Ding Yuan's decision at that time, believing that handing over most of the assets to the state was simply an act of a loser...... Now, everyone applauds Ding Yuan, thinking that he was decisive and wise at that time, and had a vision beyond ordinary people. Otherwise, the entire family will be wiped out by the virus, not to mention continue to enjoy power.
Opportunity is a watershed. This is the benchmark point for strength and achievement. The test is your courage and wisdom, character and insight.
In Ding Yuan's mind, the conditions proposed by Su Hao were being carefully sorted out. He soon discovered that the crux of the problem was only 200,000 tons of food. Because Su Hao repeatedly mentioned the basic time limit of three months in the conversation. And the information he collected from all aspects also showed that the reason why He Zuguang rejected Su Hao at that time was precisely because of this. On the other hand, Su Hao almost never talked about various raw materials and other materials.
Negotiation is a skillful activity. Ding Yuan quickly tentatively proposed: The three-month period may be a little tight, can it be delayed for one or two weeks? Fifteen days at most?
In addition, Ding Yuan also pointed out that the main potential of the "Hongguang" group is in the Shaoyang area. Due to the lack of vehicles, can Su Hao provide a capacity of about 30,000 tons? Of course, the fuel and various consumption required along the way are borne by the "Hongguang" group.
Su Hao lit another cigarette with an obvious smile on his face.
If Ding Yuan agreed too quickly, then there must be a majority of counterfeiting elements. Continuous discussion can show sincerity and show that the other party does have the intention to cooperate.
When the mind and consciousness agree on something, the next thing will naturally go smoothly. Su Hao promised to send enough transport vehicles and guards, and Ding Yuan took out a document prepared in advance, and explained the variety and quantity of materials to Su Hao one by one against the names listed. In particular, when it comes to the weight conversion between rice, flour, canned food, and prepared food, it can almost be said that it is a matter of reason, and it is not relaxed at all. After all, a ton of rice and a ton of meat are simply not equal. Although they are all food, they have different values.
Two hours later, the document was covered with various dense symbols and annotations. Ding Yuan indicated the equivalent personnel, vehicles, and delivery time next to the form, and on the road map table between Shaoyang and Xinguiyang, he indicated the coordinates of each supply station and military checkpoint. He is a careful and rigorous person, although this kind of thing can be handled like a secretary, but it is not as detailed as he understands. What's more, in front of Su Hao, it is enough to make the other party believe in his sincerity.
"Then, please arrange for a convoy to go back with me."
Ding Yuan looked at the watch on his wrist, quickly put away the documents, and said seriously: "I have to rush back now." Otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete the requirements within the time set by you, General. ”
Su Hao looked at Ding Yuan quietly, this middle-aged man has the spirit of reality that most people with the same identity do not have. Since the other party has a clear attitude and is willing to help him, this kind and decisive behavior should be rewarded.
"Wait a minute."
Su Hao took out something from his jacket pocket, and handed it to Ding Yuan with an extremely sincere smile.
"This is for you as a reward for your willingness to help and trust me."
This is a polite sentence on the scene, and Ding Yuan doesn't know how much he has heard it in peacetime. Every time a negotiation is over, or a cooperation is completed, the other party will say a few similar words and give each other some gifts of friendship. Maybe it's a ginseng, or maybe it's a gold watch, or it's some kind of beautiful work of art. Truth be told, most of these things are expensive, but they don't really work. It can neither be eaten nor used, but can only be placed at home or in the office, as an ornament to highlight one's identity.
The moment his gaze made contact with Su Hao's palm, Ding Yuan's eyes suddenly widened, and his expression became incredulous
It was a vacuum injection hose. Both the style and the specifications indicate that it has only one name———— enhancement elixir.
The military controls the production and use of each booster. According to the exchange rules that have been released, the Hao Clan Consortium can exchange hedron silver bones from the military for enhancement potions by hunting mutant creatures. Although the Hao Consortium also has its own cultivated power within the army, and can occasionally embezzle and swallow a few of the potions allocated to the troops, this kind of thing is not feasible after all.
The current pattern of the world is different from the past. Without the basic link of "banknotes", there can be no more talk of the world's financial system. The symbol of wealth that people have is no longer the number of deposits, nor is it the settlement abroad, tourism, luxury cars and villas. The so-called material pleasures are nothing more than eating better than others, and there are more meats, sugars, fats, eggs, beverages (milk and wine), fruits, and so on. As for the desire between men and women, there are handsome men and beautiful women outside the base city. As long as you get them in, eat a few full meals, and then throw them under the faucet to rinse Yu Jing, and strip naked in bed
The army is the greatest source of material sustenance. No matter how powerful the Hao Consortium was in peacetime, it could not be compared to the military after the Black Age. That's right, the Hao clan consortium has opened casinos and nightclubs in the major base cities, but the chips and benefits are nothing more than cans and women. The military has many more material sources than the conglomerates, and coupled with the strict monitoring of the flow of enhanced drugs by the military justice department, once discovered, few people dare to violate the tough position of not listening to excuses at all and shooting them directly.
Although the production of first-order enhancement potions is large, it can only meet the internal consumption of the army at present. A large number of recruits need to be injected, and naturally it is impossible to open the supply to the wealthy consortium and civilians. Although it is known that the strengthening of the constitution of the Dao is the basis for fighting mutated creatures, no civil organization has the strength of the armed forces of the people on a large scale.
The moment he saw the hose, Ding Yuan had already turned countless thoughts in his mind. Some are crazy, some are terrifying, and some are confused, shrouded in countless fogs and chaos. When his mind was reorganized and he came to his senses again, his mind was occupied by an indescribable ecstasy, and he was almost unable to control himself with horror.
Ding Yuan himself is a first-order enhancer. He would never forget how difficult it was for the "Hongguang" Group to obtain the first first-order strengthening potion.
It cost more than 30 diamonds of more than 5 carats, more than half a ton of gold, a large amount of exquisite jade jewelry, a large number of expensive food, and more than 6 million yuan of blue coins, as well as more than 200 specially selected beauties
Bribing officers in the world after the Black Age was far more difficult than in peacetime. They still need wealth and women, but they need more than in the past, both in terms of type and quality. There is no luxury sauna playground here, and the chips on the mahjong table are of little effect. There are a lot of women outside the base city who are willing to sleep with people at any time, and the goods that the wealthy consortium can take out are actually similar to them. In order to obtain the enhanced potion, the major consortia can only dig out their minds and take the route of the families of the substance control officers. In order to achieve the goal, the effort is far greater than the material consumed.
The demands are often bizarre: some people want authentic Black Sea caviar, some people want pure "imperial green" jade jewelry, and some people want to get a "Boeing" plane that is on standby 24 hours a day and can fly to all parts of the world at any time.
These conditions are very perverted———— international commercial channels have been completely interrupted, and things like caviar lose their taste after a certain time limit. Of course, "imperial green" jewelry can be obtained, but the other party just treats it as a toy, and does not do anything when it takes benefits. As for the twenty-four-hour plane... That's pretty much the most life-saving way for the Hao Consortium. It's given to you, how can Lao Tzu live?
In addition to these, there are all sorts of different quirky requirements. Just some logistics officers that Ding Yuan knew put forward requests such as wanting a certain star and wanting to taste a certain special food. Some of them are more perverted, and they also proposed that they were very interested in Ding Yuan himself, and wanted to try the stimulation of playing with his ass. Or, ask Ding Yuan to get rid of his boss and replace him.
Ding Yuan couldn't do these things at all. He would rather give a large amount of supplies in exchange than satisfy the other party's endless and terrible ideas. That is beyond the limits of one's own abilities, beyond the scope of normal physiology. Just like last year, Ding Yuan sent his family forces into an abandoned city at the request of a lieutenant colonel to capture a live female fish-like humanoid. Because the other party proposed that he wanted to see the real mermaid, and by the way, he tasted the prince-like life of spending a good night with the mermaid princess in Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale. As a result, Ding Yuan's family armed forces suffered heavy casualties, and only eleven of the 130-strong armed team remained. finally got a live female fishman, but the other party only glanced at it, and his face turned pale and vomited on the spot. Since then, no similar topic has been mentioned, and the strengthening potion promised to Ding Yuan has also been selectively forgotten.
There is no comparison between the fish-like humans and the mermaids in fairy tales. Humanoids don't have fish tails, and their upper bodies aren't glamorous beauties. Their heads are oversized fish heads with human features, their mouths are covered with sharp teeth, and their bodies are covered in scales that emit a strong fishy smell. Just looking at it makes me feel disgusting, not to mention inserting my genitals into the mouth of a fish, enjoying the pleasure of being teased by a mermaid princess.
Ding Yuan never dreamed that Su Hao would give away a strengthening potion on the spot after he decided on this material investment.
Thinking about the past, and then looking at the present, the sharp contrast between before and after made Ding Yuan's thinking in a trance, and even felt that this was not very real, and there was an indescribable sense of ambiguity.
He desperately controlled the urge to rush over and hug Su Hao fiercely, raised his hand, and with trembling fingers, picked up the strengthening potion from Su Hao's palm. The moment his fingertips touched Su Hao's palm, Ding Yuan clearly felt warmth and strength, as well as extremely slippery, feminine-like soft skin.
The agent is genuine———— it has a production lot number, a military-specific anti-counterfeiting marking, and a special seal and code that represents the manufacturing sequence.
Don't say it's 200,000 tons of food and raw materials. If he could, Ding Yuan would rather exchange 300,000 tons of food and raw materials, or even more supplies, for the fortifying elixir.
Grain can be grown, ore can be mined, and all kinds of materials can be produced...... The Hao consortium controls the factories and workshops that have been preserved from peacetime, and has a steady source of output. Although Su Hao needs a huge amount, compared to those ridiculous and difficult to achieve, or even impossible to achieve, Su Hao is obviously the easiest to meet and the best person to deal with.
At least, he wasn't interested in Lao Tzu's ass, and even took out a strengthening potion in front of him.
Getting a potion and becoming a soldier are two different concepts. The former means a free man, while the latter needs to fight to the death on the front line. Because of this, many members of the Hao consortium refused to join the army. The mortality rate there is staggering, and even if you accumulate military merits and get promoted, it is difficult to climb to the high position of general. What's more, the Battle of Hefei has proved that even a general has a great chance of dying in battle.
Looking at Su Hao with a smile on his face, Ding Yuan completely let go of his guard, and he even had the urge to kneel down and kowtow to Su Hao.
"Let's use this potion now."
Su Hao's faint tone made Ding Yuan suddenly nervous. However, the next words made him hyperactive again, even almost crazy.
"This is a second-order enhancement potion, not a first-order potion that you have injected. This thing's effect on the increase in constitution is obvious. However, for the best results, a certain amount of Silver Bone must also be taken. ”
Second?
These two words flashed in Ding Yuan's mind like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, causing his thinking to shake suddenly, and even his consciousness became confused.
"Hongguang" is a small group, since the outbreak of the virus, exhausted its mental strength, and only got six first-order medicines.
Ding Yuan knew that some large consortia had third-order potions. He couldn't even think of that kind of thing. If it weren't for the strength limitations, he wouldn't have stayed near Shaoyang all the time, but expanded in an all-round way and occupied more territory and resources. Now, Su Hao seems to have opened another door for him, showing him more and more colorful worlds.
As he said, Ding Yuan is a businessman, and in the face of interests that cannot be refused, the only thing he can do is to worship wholeheartedly.
"General...... Excellency...... You, you are so generous. ”
Ding Yuan's thinking and emotions were more tense than ever, and he stammered: "I will not have any doubts about you, the "Hongguang" consortium will obey any orders from you. We will do our best to meet all your requirements. We...... We ......"
At the last word, Ding Yuan couldn't go on. It's not that he is clumsy, but Ding Yuan really can't think of anything else to exchange with Su Hao.
Being able to take out a second-order potion meant that Su Hao could take out more.
He is a brigadier general and controls a fledgling base city.
That's the opportunity. Fortunately, I did not refuse, but agreed to the other party's request. Otherwise, this kind of thing will not be my turn Ding Yuan at all.
Oh my God, the "Red Smoke Group" will be extremely remorseful. And Zuguang will never think of what he has missed and given up.
Looking at Ding Yuan, who was bowing down to him, Su Hao smiled faintly.
That's what he wants.
A strong contrast between gains and losses will shake a person's thinking consciousness in a short period of time. If he included the strengthening potion in the negotiation at the beginning, indicating that he could use it in exchange, the effect would definitely not be as good as it is now, and Ding Yuan would also think that he was facing a dilemma and had to take out the strengthening medicine to buy supplies. In this way, the identities of both parties will become equal, rather than subordinate.
