Chapter 586: The Prologue to Divide the World
[A few decades later, scholars generally believe that the precedent of dividing up the world among various powerful countries such as the Ocean Group and the Land of Qixia, as well as various holy places such as the Red Lotus Sect, began with the 'Open Sea Exploration Conference'. 】
............
In the conference room, it was as noisy as a vegetable market. At this time, these bickering people rarely realize how the outcome of their discussion now will affect the future. Even the current meeting doesn't even have a name.
At this point, all they want is to fight for as much benefit as possible.
Bai Yutang, the representative and general manager of Dayang Group, shouted loudly: "The newly established Twilight Fleet has 15 Qingwolf-class warships, 5 Arctic-Ocean class warships, 15 Zhenyuan-class warships, and 20 Iron Duke-class ships. The value of the fleet itself alone is as high as more than 5 billion high-grade spirit stones!"
"Fart!" West Kunlun's representative Dong Guo Mingyun directly burst into rudeness, slapped the table and shouted, "Bear with you Dayang Group for a long time! Now the steel technology has long been spreading, and the cost and price have been greatly reduced. You warships don't even have 500 million high-grade spirit stones!"
Bai Yutang slapped the table: "Dongguo Mingyun, use your brain when you speak." You said 500 million, okay, I'll give you 1 billion high-grade spirit stones, and you can get me two such fleets. The extra money is yours!"
"Hmph, I mean, don't sit on the ground and raise prices for your Dayang Group! Now steel technology, even shipbuilding technology, etc., other holy lands and countries have mastered it. The price of your Dayang Group is too high, not ordinarily high.
Since we are gathered here today, we are all sincere in our discussions. What are you going to do with Dayang Group!"
Everyone slapped the table: Dayang Group is too much!
In the face of this discussion of dividing interests, everyone is slapping the table and spitting, even if Hua Baixiang is a female monk who usually pays attention to appearance, she looks like a social sister at this time.
I have to fight, here is a little bit of a fight, and the profits involved in the future will be hundreds of millions. In particular, it is of great significance that you are facing the first world to be explored outside the known world. Everyone wants to be part of it as an owner.
Not to mention, the interests involved are beyond imagination.
There is also the previous Xianshan Exploration Group, which also makes everyone clearly realize that if you don't join now, or don't fight now, once the interests are determined, it will be difficult to change it in the future.
The emergence of Xianshan Exploration Group means the arrival of a new era of exploration, and the scattered form of exploration in the past is gone forever.
The first day of the conference ended with passion, and all the tables and chairs in the conference room were scrapped.
The next day, when everyone entered the venue, they were surprised to find that all the tables and chairs had been replaced with ordinary steel—steel of not very high purity. But no matter how low-grade it is, it is steel, and the tables and chairs in this room are worth no less than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
"Dayang Group is so atmospheric that it uses such a good table and chairs. Yu Xuanzi, the representative of the Carefree Sect, spoke, and his words were a little mocking.
Zhang Hao said lightly: "These tables and chairs are worth 150,000 high-grade spirit stones. It has been charged to the bill. ”
Everyone was stunned.
Yu Xuanzi suddenly lost the image of a Taoist cultivator, and slapped the table again and scolded: "Oh, I only know the highest level of shamelessness today." You remove all the tables, we don't need them!"
"Yes, we don't need a table. Everyone is a cultivator, so let's just sit on the ground. ”
As he spoke, someone was sitting on the ground.
The corners of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched: "Haha...... It's just a joke. ”
Everyone immediately sneered, but the meeting continued. There was a little order in today's meeting, and everyone put forward the power and wealth they could come up with, and they priced it through unified analysis.
However, the discussion remained intense.
Zhang Hao looked at everyone calmly, and sneered in his heart: Come on, come on, let me take you to pretend to be 13, and take you to fly...... Ahem, let's go and conquer the world together.
The world is so big, Dayang Group is absolutely unable to eat alone, so it can only adopt the current way of cooperation.
However, since we want to explore the open sea and the new world, we will inevitably need a lot of industrialized products and so on. Although the industrial technology has difed now, the best technology is still the one of Dayang Group.
Therefore, these 'allies' who participated in the exploration will also be potential customers of the Dayang Group! The Dayang Group can get a lot of profits by selling industrial products to its allies.
If you want to explore the new world and open up your own routes, you need steel battleships! But the best steel battleships now are those of the Ocean Group.
Even relying on a strong industrial system, Dayang Group has also developed technologies such as the 'Iron Duke Generation' and the 'Zhenyuan Second Generation'.
And the technology that is now in service with the Ocean Group is already the third and fourth generation technology - the fourth generation is still in the experimental stage.
The reason for this is to enrich the product line, expand the market influence and seize the market; high-end products Dayang Group has it, and low-end products Dayang Group also has it, and the quality is better, and the price is almost the same as the market!
This is the characteristic of technology enterprises, enterprises that have mastered advanced technology naturally have the attribute of monopoly!
Today, the starting price of the third-generation warships on sale by the Dayang Group, such as the Iron Duke class, is still 60 million, but the price of the first-generation technology has been reduced to 20 million, and the second-generation 35 million.
There were also countries, holy places, etc., who asked Zhang Hao about the depreciation of warships, but Zhang Hao made a strong response: the price at that time was like that, and once the agreement was signed, it could not be changed. If you want to break the contract, you can try.
So far, no country has dared to try it -- a lesson from the past of the Xuanming Sect! The Dayang Group, which has grasped the technological initiative, can do whatever it wants within the limits of the rules.
Now, there are thousands of people in the Dayang Group's Ming Transformation Period, that is, those in the Golden Body Realm, and the Xuanzhen Sect is polite when talking to Zhang Hao now. Because on the bright side, the total number of Xuanzhen Sect's incarnation period is about two thousand.
However, the situation of the Xuanzhen Sect's transformation period is completely different from that of the Ocean Group.
The Xuanzhen Sect's transformation period is all its own disciples, etc., and they are all lifelong.
The transformation period of the Dayang Group is almost all catalyzed by the late stage or peak of the Yuan Infant who has been recruited and signed an agreement, and it generally expires after 30 to 50 years, when these transformation periods will leave the Dayang Group.
However, thirty or fifty years from now, the Ocean Group will definitely have its own roots. In this regard, the top management of Dayang Group did not have the slightest doubt.
Zhang Hao is still thinking about it, and is checking and filling in the gaps in the recent situation of the Dayang Group; the quarrels of the rest of the people are boiling over the sky, and everyone is-for-tat, not giving an inch, and fighting for every minute.
Many of these guys who used to be Taoist cultivators have become scoundrels in the market at this time, and everyone is talking foul, rolling up their sleeves, and arguing with a red face and a thick neck.
Quarrel over the price of a high-grade spirit stone, or even the value of a low-grade spirit stone, or even a one-yuan bill. They also quarrel over the distribution of benefits, from percentages, quarrels to thousandths, and then to ten-thousandths......
There are no rules, and everyone has to explore a strange world together. If everything is not divided in advance, there is a high probability that problems will occur in the future, such as being provoked and divided.
The meeting lasted until mid-April, and it took nearly 20 days before it finally ended. Of course, everyone is not just sitting here to discuss, and during these times, everyone is also actively preparing, dispatching troops, raising supplies, and so on.
Eventually, an organization called the 'Atlantic Group' appeared, and the purpose of this Atlantic Group was to explore the new world, to be exact, the first goal was: the Candle Dragon Continent!
At present, everyone is full of enthusiasm and is excited to devote themselves to this upcoming exploration.
But too many people don't notice, or don't even think about it for the time being: what will be the ultimate result of their exploration?
Or maybe some people thought about it, but didn't care.
The composition of the 'Atlantic Group' is very complex, involving holy places, countries, sects, etc., and the Ocean Group only has 11% of the shares in this group, but this is already the largest shareholder. Mainly because warships, etc., most of them need to be provided by the Ocean Group.
The Twilight fleet alone has 55 warships, and the rest of the families put together a total of 80 warships.
Therefore, the general person in charge of the Atlantic Group is from the Ocean Group - Huang Baiyan.
Huang Baiyan, one of the minority shareholders of Dayang Group, but with good ability and independent ability, finally stood out and represented Dayang Group as the general head of Atlantic Group. Moreover, the current Huang Baiyan is also already a master of transforming into a god - he is using the qi of the fairy spirit to step into, and the cultivator is in the transformation period, not the so-called 'golden body realm'.
Huang Baiyan was a little nervous about taking office soon, or presiding over an unprecedented group dedicated to offshore exploration. This morning, I found Zhang Hao to ask about some information.
Of course, the question is not only about how to do things, but more importantly, about getting enough authority from Zhang Hao - everyone who wants to do things does not want to be constrained.
"Actually, it's very simple!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, "You just remember one thing, suffering is a blessing! You are a leader, you need to have enough prestige."
When necessary, you can give up some small interests in exchange for your own prestige, and some small interests can be decided by yourself without reporting to the general manager of Dayang Group.
But you can't sacrifice the big good, because you have to lead by example. You yourself are the embodiment of the rules of the Atlantic bloc.
You have to deal with representatives of different countries and holy places, and if you want them to be obedient, you have to stand on a 'fair' stand.
For the Ocean Group, our interests include the interests of the Atlantic Group, these direct interests, but more importantly, the network of people within the Atlantic Group!"
"Understood! Thank you, Mr. Zhang. This person, who is almost three times the age of Zhang Hao, was excited after listening to Zhang Hao's words.
Zhang Hao nodded, and was about to say a few words of encouragement.
But at this moment, a secretary knocked on the door and sent a newspaper with excitement, excitement and gossip: "Mr. Zhang, big news." The Empress is pregnant, but her father is not published. ”
