Chapter 168, next time
Gu Hang was able to confirm that the predecessor's biggest resentment towards his mother was after that slap.
Memory, Ms. Wang Qi gasped, and after beating him, she said to him with great disappointment: "How can I have a son like you?" Incompetent, stupid, doesn't understand anything. If that's all there is, I can keep you rich for the rest of your life. But you still have ambitions that don't match your abilities, you are really not as good as your father's ten-thousandth, you let me down too much. β
These words pierced his heart fiercely.
Mother looked down on herself.
This made him angry and resentful, so much so that he took a personal retinite and took office alone.
But he wasn't here to dieβat least in the way his predecessor thought it.
According to the concept of Gu Hang's predecessor, under normal circumstances, he is indeed the one who saved the angry owl star from fire and water.
It is true that many governors have died in front, and once the empire's tax revenue is not completed, the identity of the core disciple of the Gu family will not be able to save his life, which is the fundamental rule of the empire.
But he is not afraid.
What kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp were the first few governors?
And I, Gu Hang, am the pride of destiny!
Proceeding from their own political interests, the leaders of the star sector are determined to build the Angry Owl Star; Fofana fully supported, and the navy directly allocated a cruiser to garrison the Angry Owl, so there was no need to worry too much about the force. Coupled with the Gu family's financial resources, is there any reason why this matter can't be done?
The old lady doesn't support it?
If you don't support it, you won't support it, the Gu family is not Wang Qi's final say, and there are so many uncles and uncles.
What is the Iron Triangle of the Pegasus Star Zone!
What's more, the letter of appointment has already come down, and in the center of the empire, he is already the registered governor of the planet, and there is no room for reversal in this matter.
He couldn't have repented of being slapped by his mother. When Gu Hang looked through his memory, he could clearly feel that there was a thought in his predecessor: if he really wants to die, then he will follow his mother's thoughts, and if such a waste son dies, you must be very happy.
What happened later, Gu Hang was very clear: he crossed over and replaced his predecessor who was on the way to office.
And when he took the starship, it was almost a month's voyage from the Flying Wing Star to the Angry Owl Star, plus it has been five or six months since he developed and worked the surface, a total of half a year, the Gu family was really ruthless, and he didn't give a dime.
That's it.
And at this moment, Gu Hang reviewed the whole thing in his mind, and obviously felt that his predecessor had been pitted.
The few sentences that his mother scolded were really not a big problem.
The main reason is that Gu Hang doesn't have any real feelings about this, and he scolds when he scolds. Anyway, it's not me who scolds...... Oh, it was me who scolded, so it's okay.
The predecessor himself had a big problem, and he could see a layer deeper, but not enough.
He saw that behind this matter was Pei Desi's plan based on his own political interests, and saw that the three companies were very strong and could solve the problem, but they were too blind.
Why is Pei Desigui the head of the star district, and he has to start directly from him, who is a relatively small person?
According to Gu Hang's judgment, it is very likely that Pei Desi failed to deal with Gu at all. The matter of the three joining forces is likely to exist only in the imagination of the predecessor from the beginning.
Pei Desi pulled the stupid boy of Gu Hang's predecessor into the game, but in order to drag the Gu family behind him into the water by the way. The core children have become governors, the imperial appointment letters have come down, and the raw rice is cooked and cooked, you won't really not have a dime, right?
Especially Mrs. Wang Qi, this is the only son, and because her status as a surviving person is quite embarrassing, her husband has been dead for decades, and her connection with the Gu family depends on this son surnamed Gu. It stands to reason that she could never accept her son's death after his failure as governor. Not to mention the issue of family affection, after Gu Hang died, she really didn't have any blood connection with the Gu family, how could she directly control a branch of the Gu family's firm?
Separation? The rest of the Gu clan would not allow it, and there was inevitably a bloody storm inside.
Unexpectedly, whether it was the Gu family or Wang Qi himself, he was really ruthless, and there was no support at all, which led to Pei Desi's plan to pull the Gu family into the water to fail, and caused a huge contradiction between the two sides - this was analyzed by Gu Hang himself, and there was no intelligence support.
However, thinking about the root cause, in fact, Gu Hang doesn't understand: why did Gu Shi, who should be a staunch supporter of Pei Desi, abandon the position of the so-called 'iron triangle' and not support Pei Desi's reconstruction of the angry star?
In this matter, Gu Hang lacked enough information to analyze it.
Still, listening to my cousin, she might know something.
After thinking about it, Gu Hang decided to play a straight ball.
He said: "In these days of being in the Angry Owl, I have made some achievements, and in my spare time, I have also reflected on the whole thing. I know I've made a mistake and shouldn't have been here, but I never understood why you ...... Oh, it's our Gu clan who doesn't support the head of Pedes and rebuild the angry star? β
After Gu Hang finished speaking, Wang Jiarong looked at her cousin in surprise.
According to what she knows about her cousin, most of her words just now are in vain, and they will even arouse disgust. She is just in the middle, so she has to say this and persuade her.
But in my cousin's reaction, he didn't seem to show disgust, and even listened sincerely.
This is not the same as his impression of his cousin.
Of course, Wang Jiarong is happy about this.
She saw a glimmer of hope for resolving the problem between her aunt and her cousin.
If the relationship between the two can be bridged, it will not only be a good thing in the personal kinship, but more importantly, the biggest problem of the aunt's force in the Gu family is the name problem.
The cousin is the most natural leader of this family force, and the aunt controls this force, and the source of legitimacy is the deceased husband first, and Gu Hang second.
But the problem is that, after all, it is a dead husband, and the longer he dies, the weaker the legitimacy of this branch of power pulled out of the family; And Gu Hang, the son, didn't have a good relationship with her, not to mention, and took on a task with a high probability of death......
However, if the two work together, this problem can be solved to a large extent.
As a result, Wang Jiarong's attitude towards conversation became more serious.
She thought about it carefully for a while and said, "I don't know that much about the things behind it, I can only tell you my understanding." β
"First of all, it's a loss-making business, or rather, the investment cycle is too long, and it's too slow to see returns. We are not in an asset-heavy industry. Although the price of the spaceship is very high, it is rare to buy it with full ownership, and most of the cases are purchased with pooled capital or joint shares. Moreover, even if it is purchased wholly owned, a starship can be put into operation and generate income immediately after purchase, and it can pay back after a few years. β
"But the capital required to rebuild a wasteland planet is huge, much higher than a large starship. And it takes many years of very sustained investment, and I don't know how many years after the benefits are generated. A large amount of money and resources will be thrown on this planet, which will cause a very heavy burden on the family, and even affect the normal operation. What's more, behind the high investment and long cycle, there are also high risks, and Angry Owl has not done a good job for so many years, who knows if it can be done well this time? β
"High investment, high risk, long cycle...... The combination of these characteristics makes the family not want to invest normally at all. β
"If it was really as Mr. Pedders said, it was the Tianma Iron Triangle working together, and it would be okay to have two other companies share the cost, but this is not the case. The Fofana family produced a cruiser, which was to encourage the Imperial Navy to be dispatched as a mission, and they did not pay a penny themselves, and the cruiser was only in the Angry Owl for two years at most. β
"The head of Peders has issued a letter of appointment to the governor of the planet, as well as political support. It stands to reason that the value of this appointment letter is very, very high, equivalent to acquiring an entire planet, but unfortunately, this appointment letter is from the Raging Owl, a place where whoever goes to be the governor dies. β
"They paid for this, but they had to pay almost all of the cost of rebuilding the planet."
"No matter how others will measure the difference in value between these three things, at least, Gu is dissatisfied with this internally, and feels that it is completely unequal."
After hearing this, Gu Hang suddenly realized.
Indeed, if the three families work together, the two of you will come up with such a thing, but you want me to be the main culprit. changed Gu Hang is the eldest of the family, and he is not willing to agree.
Wang Jiarong paused and continued to say the second reason:
Moreover, the Gu family has recently repaired relations with the Ficher family. They are the real head snakes of the Pegasus Star Zone, and there are three governors in the eight worlds of the Star Zone, surnamed Falchers. They had a conflict with Mr. Pedes and had a bad relationship with us in the past, but recently they have eased. To do business, the three planets of the Facher family cannot be abandoned. β
"But they have a major stake in the Angry Owl, and you've been on this planet for a while, I wonder if you've heard of Blackbird Heavy Industries? This business on the Raging Star is essentially controlled by the Faltcher family. Before the Raging Owl was reclaimed as an imperial world, it was an 'uninhabited planet' without taxes, and the Farches family intended to continue to maintain this state, and everything they did on the planet through Blackbird Heavy Industries was unregulated, let alone taxed. β
"Even, there is reason to suspect that they put a lot of the output of their three planets on Blackbird Heavy Industries, using the particularity of the Raging Star to avoid taxes. Of course, this is pure speculation, there is no evidence, otherwise the head of Pedes would have used this to kill them a long time ago. β
"The recapture of the Rage Owl is a move by the head of Peders to the Facher family, and it is a battlefield in the political struggle between them. At the critical point of repairing the relationship between the Gu family and the Falces family, if you come here, you will directly interrupt this process, so that the long-term efforts of the past family will be ruined, and the relationship between the two sides will fall to the freezing point again. β
Gu Hang nodded again, indicating that he understood.
"That's probably the two sides." Wang Jiarong said, "So I said, what you did this time, cousin, not only your aunt was very angry, but you Gu family are actually quite annoyed." You've come to work, and your aunt is under more pressure. She doesn't really want to help you at all, and she can't help it, otherwise it will be difficult to explain within the family. And...... Am I not here? β
"Thank you." Gu Hang nodded lightly, "It's important for you to come." But did my mother ask you to come? Or did she nod her head about it? β
"Uh...... Not really, I came on my own. Wang Jiarong's face was a little embarrassed, but she immediately made up for it, "However, my aunt must have acquiesced, otherwise she would have contacted me a long time ago and wouldn't let me come." β
"Heh, acquiesce." Gu Hang maintained a polite smile on his face, and there was no more mockery.
Wang Jiarong sighed, knowing that it was not so simple to bridge the relationship between mother and son, and she had tried for so many years in the past, but it had not worked, not to mention that there was a bigger contradiction between the two of them now.
It's so hard for me to be a cousin/niece.
"Anyway, cousin, why don't you find a time to contact your aunt. The cost of real-time communication is relatively high, I don't have the conditions here, but there should be a way on the quintet, make an appointment in advance, and then ......"
"Forget it." Gu Hang hurriedly interrupted, "Stop, that's it, I don't know what to say to her recently." β
"You can't just spend it, can you?"
"Next time, definitely."
β¦β¦
Under his cousin's regretful gaze, he ended the conversation.
He had other things to do.
His troops suffered heavy casualties when dealing with the greenskins that jumped to the quintet.
There were only 20,000 people on board, with more than 4,000 casualties, more than 20% of the casualties.
Gu Hang, as the commander, had to go down to comfort the soldiers.
This is also a way to win people's hearts, proving that the Governor still has comrades in his heart.
Anyway, being idle on a starship is idle.
In addition, he went to visit Shimorizo.
This is also how it should be, and the Space Marines have sold him his life many times.
The head priest of the immortal bird is in good condition. The three axes of the orc overseer were uncomfortable to smash down, but after all, they didn't really cut an axe at his vital parts, an axe on his shoulder and an axe on his breastplate, which caused him to suffer serious injuries, but after all, through the power armor, the damage was reduced. It's his set of armor, I'm afraid it won't be repaired.
Gu Hang also comforted the old pastor.
"This time, the caravan I invited brought some new power armor, which I specially asked someone to help purchase. You have a good rest, don't worry about running out of power, and there will be a brand new one for you to use when you turn back! β
After speaking, Gu Hang also turned his head and said to Martins: "Commander, you also have a share, among the special commodities purchased, there are not only ordinary power armor that can be used for the future development members of the war group, but also a set of terminator power armor, which is specially prepared for you to thank the war group for their help during this time." β
