"Your Excellency, how does it taste? Do you think it meets the appetite of the people over there? ”

Lu Ping'an put down his chopsticks, thought about it for a while, and brought himself another piece of Wanjing roast duck.

Yes, fat but not greasy, and a faint woody fragrance, I have never eaten such an authentic Wanjing roast duck in my previous life.

And on this table, there are basically dishes of this grade...... Whether it is quality or cooking, it is a master level, and Lu Ping'an can feel that he uses "civilian materials" as much as possible, but....

“...... No, their palate is not so delicate. And it's too greasy for the long-handed people, and too light for the fish-people, if you are mainly in the human business, hehe, my 'hometown cuisine' restaurants are about to go out of business. ”

"Sure enough..... How about trying this? ”

The official in front of him was very friendly, not only took the initiative to invite Lu Ping'an to a big dinner, but also accompanied the bosses of some large companies.

Will they not know the tastes of the ethnic groups over there? Do you really want to find a safe way to try the food yourself?

“..... Guoliang Group has some interest over there, it should join the investment, maybe within half a year, the first batch of more than 20 chain enterprises will settle in, at least more than 600 stores, just the first phase, see how the income is, if you are interested, you can invest in the ......"

Finally, when it came to the main course, Lu Ping'an smiled wryly when he heard him say this.

Someone on my road knows that you have good intentions and plans to increase investment in Mercury 42, not only to increase Dongguo's position over there, but also to give me a favor.

But there are still hundreds of subordinate stores that have a stake in Guoliang? Am I worthy..... Well, my strength is probably matched, but my little liquidity is smashed into it, and I can't see the splash, and my capital chain is broken and I immediately go bankrupt.

"I ....."

"We need some extra protection on our side, and if we can put up your 'hometown food' sign, we'll give you a 10% stake. They are able to take charge of their own operations and routine policing. Of course, it's better if you help out when necessary, and we'll pay you extra when the time comes. ”

Now, it was Lu Ping'an's turn to be surprised.

This heavy gift is too heavy.

It's not about money at all, and for the development of a region's "civilization", money is probably the least important..... In the Age of Discovery, the cannon fodder who was still willing to step into the unknown sea under the premise of unknown form and extremely high risk..... Adventurers are the most valuable assets.

In the case of stable income, sailors and captains will be in an endless stream, but now that Mercury 42 is still in the middle of the war, a large investment at this time is a rather valuable "gift".

I guess this is the result of repeated considerations..... With the current degree of openness of the civilization of Mercury 42, it is really necessary to spread it widely, and doing infrastructure is equivalent to giving it for nothing, heavy industry and light industry have been localized for ten years, and it will take time to adjust and adapt to the latter, and if a large number of people enter the food and food industry, it can become a real physical asset.

The chain company under the state-owned group sent "store managers" to bloom everywhere, and the most troublesome human resource problem was solved in an instant.

And as long as Lu Ping'an nods, he has a huge industrial cluster that may be spread over countless regions.... This is not just a matter of making money, but Lu Ping'an's Chamber of Commerce, with the support of the Eastern Kingdom official, can directly enter all the spheres of influence of the entire Mercury.

You are a "big group", and you will not expel the "state-owned enterprises" in the east of the country, and Lu Ping'an may also be able to rely on this to have a huge intelligence network and a wide range of discourse.

As long as the industrialization and flowering of the grain and food industry are carried out, Lu Ping'an will naturally become the actual controller of a certain level of Mercury 42.

“..... May I? ”

"Of course you can. Of course, it would be better if you had time to help us train the security personnel over there, and also make the sales staff over there more capable of self-protection. ”

This is undoubtedly an exchange of interests..... But the other party put forward this condition, also considering Lu Ping'an's advantages in "cultivating talents", and if he really cultivates the backbone group of the new era, Lu Ping'an, the "mentor", will naturally have a wider range of interference capabilities.

I am afraid that at that time, Lu Ping'an, a major general with a fictitious title, will become the commander of the military region in the substantive sense.

The Salvation Army wants to build a country, but as a price for support, Dongguo will definitely have to control some of the industries of the new country, and they expect Lu Ping'an to intervene in terms of food and food, after all, he is a top gardener.......

“...... Uh, okay, I'm a professional in cultivating talents, and as for local food cultivation and food improvement, I can only say that I will do my best. ”

"That's enough....."

After eating this meal, Lu Ping'an's trip was just beginning, and he was invited to accompany the mayor of Gucheng to visit a state-owned warship factory and affiliated heavy equipment manufacturing industry in Wanjing.....

“....... It's amazing, it's amazing. ”

Road someone .... Major General Lu, when he was invited to speak and express his opinions, could only bite the bullet and say two words.

"I can't stay anymore...... Pack up your salutes and run. ”

Originally, Lu was just a pendant of his eighth-order disciples, an "intermediary" of the envoy group, and he was just involved in the development of the two places.

But now, after someone on the road really killed Barn and showed his combat power, he is a veritable "prince of one side".

Now, Dongguo wants to invest and develop on Mercury 42, and the heads of those related enterprises naturally want to come to the dock.

Not to mention all kinds of gifts, there are also a lot of shares that are directly given, and someone on the road really doesn't dare not accept them...... When you are hooked up for common interests, the other party will be more at ease to invest in heavy bets, expecting that you will stand up for your own interests when needed.

This time, the Covenant and the Entente have actually been signed, but Lu someone's performance has won more for it.... In addition to the paper, a lot of higher-end additional investment has been added, what was originally a small restaurant has become a brand chain, and what was originally an artisan shop has now become a large factory.

It's just that these new "inputs" naturally want to let Lu Ping'an, the "master", look at it...... This made him so annoyed that he wanted to run away.

“..... Run. ”

Not to mention, the mayor of the ancient city really suggested that he run away irresponsibly.

It's really not about poaching..... Lu someone's position is actually very stable, the first is the ancient city, the second is the eastern country, and the third is the human race, which is gone.

"You're here, you just can't get around, I have to ask you to nod or at least acquiesce. If they really ignore you, they may offend you, so you must be asked to look at it...... If you run away, they might be able to relax. ”

Don't say it, it's really true, Lu Ping'an sighed.

He really didn't expect it for a while, it was not that he didn't have the experience and intelligence, but that he didn't have the heart....... He knew that he couldn't put too much energy into politics, business, and farming, and he grew up too fast and his status was too high, so he naturally had to face these practical responsibilities.

"Catherine ......."

"Don't do it!!"

"100 points a week ......"

"Leave it all to me, and I'll be your best agent."

Throw Wanjing's troubles to her, and Lu Ping'an disappeared again.

He actually has more important things to do...... Official investment and support are one thing, the development of the Chamber of Commerce is another, and Lu Ping'an's own "progress" is another.

His ability is self-contained, and just the mass production of polluting items in the craftsman's path requires a lot of materials and resources as raw materials.

The industrial layout of the Rebirth Chamber of Commerce can also be handed over to other people's helpers, and Lu someone's own ability to form, the purchase order of the heavenly numbers, is only calculated by himself.

Not to mention, just to create a set of equipment and a weapon for each of the backbone of the community, he is the only one who finds the materials himself.

After the evolution, the upper limit of the ability can be increased by more than one or two points, so he is not the only one who has benefited, how many people in the community are staring at it, but it is just .....

“....... It's so expensive, why is it so expensive. ”

The strength of the gain after upgrading also brings a higher level of material consumption, involving materials above the rule level, how to get cheaper.
