Chapter 1647: Calculation 2
"It's none of my business!" Zhuge Dongfang was furious. Pointing to himself, he said, "I am your father, and I am qualified to take charge of all your affairs!" Marriage is not child's play, it is composed of the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and you can't and can't make your own decisions! You're my daughter, and I can let you mess around with other things, but not in this one! ”
Zhuge Yuyan listened to her father's words coldly, and suddenly interjected with a sneer, "Why? Is it because my father stipulated that I must marry someone surnamed Zhuge ? Does my father still want the tragedy of the year to repeat and make me the same as the eldest brother? ”
"You ......" Zhuge Dongfang stretched out his hand to his daughter, his fingertips trembling, obviously trying to suppress his anger. After sighing heavily, he lamented, "Yuyan...... I'm not forcing you, but I want you to know how important the bloodline of the Zhuge family is! Father just wants to follow the ancestral teachings and keep the bloodline of the Zhuge family intact, isn't this okay? ”
"Really? How come I have never seen any ancient family books that require the Zhuge family to intermarry within the clan? Zhuge Yuyan finally said excitedly with some disdain, "Father, do you think no one knows the hatred in your heart?" If it weren't for grandpa, if it weren't for grandpa's depression because he didn't get the woman he loved, and you held a grudge for not getting your father's love, would you keep asking us to do this, and we must intermarry within the clan? I'm not a father, I'm not a grandfather, I have the right to free love, I ......"
"Smack!!" Before Zhuge Yuyan finished speaking, Zhuge Dongfang finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, and directly waved his hand and gave his daughter a hard slap! This slap not only hit loudly, but also knocked off the veil on her face, revealing Zhuge Yuyan's stunning pretty face!
Feeling the hot pain on her pretty face, Zhuge Yuyan's beautiful eyes were full of determination, she gritted her teeth and said, "If it weren't for the eldest brother who violated your request and eloped with the woman outside without permission, would you be angry and let me go out of the mountain to get him back?" If you hadn't deliberately bewitched me back then and said some trumped-up charges from my eldest brother, would I have moved him to do it? If you hadn't ordered me to do something to my eldest brother who resolutely refused to come back, would I have personally ordered my eldest brother to be killed!! I, I'll regret it for the rest of my life...... Will it be painful for the rest of your life......"
As she spoke, tears rolled down Zhuge Yuyan's beautiful eyes...... Her expression was painful, very sad, perhaps, after all the outward strength was peeled off, all that was left was her truest self. Grievances, sadness, resentment and helplessness in her heart, who can she talk to and who to vent?
Looking at Zhuge Yuyan, who was crying sadly, the anger in Zhuge Dongfang's heart seemed to have gradually calmed down, he looked at his daughter with a blue face, and said heavily, "No matter what, I am for your good, for the sake of the descendants of the Zhuge family." No matter how much you hate me as a father, I only allow you to intermarry within the clan, you must understand this, this is a principle, it cannot be changed! ”
Zhuge Yuyan didn't answer, her eyes were gloomy, and she didn't want to talk to her father about this at all. Or rather, she was simply in this matter and couldn't forgive her father.
"Let's not talk about this, okay, if you don't want to marry now, I won't force it. After all, you're still young, and I don't want to make our father and daughter even more unhappy because of your marriage. Seeing that his daughter was silent, Zhuge Dongfang couldn't help but take the initiative to change the topic, sighed lightly and said, "During your time in the family, there is a major event that is about to happen that concerns the interests of our family, in mid-April, a global weapons exhibition will be held in Liaoshen City in the northeast, and then the world's arms dealers will gather in Huaxia, and after a series of maneuvers, our clan finally let the military decide to acquire a number of foreign advanced fighters and warships of the contract, and hand over to the military enterprises under our Zhuge family as an intermediary liaison. It's a big deal, it's very lucrative, and we can also take the initiative to have foreign arms dealers bring in the production line and assemble it themselves according to the terms of the introduction, which is also a leap forward for the military industry. ”
Zhuge Yuyan gradually quieted down, wiped away the tears on her beautiful face, and said coldly, "Father, I have said many times that without independent research and development, it is very difficult for military enterprises to survive. In the past, the Zhuge family was dominant in the military industry, and it was still possible to use this trick by introducing foreign arms and then imitating them, but now the emergence of the Longteng Group directly threatens our foundation. If we continue to follow this pattern, our family's arms business will really be doomed! Do you know how strong Longteng Group's military R&D capabilities are? It doesn't matter if you don't know, but you have to admit that at present, among the four cutting-edge heavy arms orders of the military's light tanks, missiles, aircraft, and warships, at least more than half of the orders have been snatched by the Longteng Group, right? And look at what our military-industrial complex produces? Rifles, bullets, portable anti-aircraft anti-tank missiles, these things have low profits and large production volumes, and if this continues, even the only third-generation fighter that we are still insisting on producing and assembled from the production line imported from country E is about to fall behind, but you are still counting on foreign countries, this will not work at all. ”
"Of course I know what you're saying, but what can we do? I don't know why the Longteng Group has such a strong weapon research and development capability, but at least the Zhuge family doesn't have that ability. We can only make money from the difference in the price of arms, and then use foreign technology to import and copy and improve weapons. Our Zhuge family has a very large network of connections and strong real power, so we can get a share of the military's weapons procurement. In fact, you know all this very well, so don't talk to me about Longteng Group anymore. Zhuge Dongfang frowned and said, "As for the Longteng Group, I think your brother will deal with it, and the people who want to deal with him are not the only ones." ”
"Is it really right to always think only about killing the opponent and not thinking about the development of the country?" Zhuge Yuyan said indifferently, "The Longteng Group has an absolute impact on the interests of the Zhuge family, I don't deny this, and I don't deny that the Longteng Group is the biggest opponent of the Zhuge family, even an enemy. But as far as the country's military science and technology and weapons are concerned, if there is no Longteng Group, the military industry will return to a muddy nightmare, and the country wants to develop, without a strong military force, do you think it can be done? I came back to my family after this defeat and thought a lot, my father...... I propose, is it possible to cooperate with Longteng Group? They have the technology, we have the means, and the two sides can complement each other's advantages, once ......"
"Enough!" Zhuge Dongfang scolded, glared at Zhuge Yuyan and said, "Yuyan, don't forget, I haven't settled accounts with you for privately using your power to sell all the shares that have acquired Longteng Group, and now you want to talk to me about the cooperation between the two groups?" That's a dream! What kind of family is the Zhuge family? He's just a hairy boy who deserves to cooperate with our family? You don't even have to think about it! Even if our Zhuge family doesn't do the arms business, we can still support it, and we don't need the mercy of others! ”
