In the newly restored top-floor sightseeing living room of the headquarters of Dayang Group, Zhang Hao invited Hongyunzi to sightseeing.

Zhou Xueyao was pouring tea next to her, Zhang Hao and Hong Yunzi said without a word, and what they said for the time being was trivial. However, these trivialities also contain Hongyunzi's exploration.

But when the spirit tea rolled three times and the fragrance came up, Hongyunzi finally asked the key. "I heard that yesterday's order met with collective opposition from various shareholders?"

"Nothing, just a simple discussion. Zhang Hao smiled faintly. Am I going to tell you that we didn't have a meeting yesterday at all?

But Hongyunzi is not unprepared. He smiled faintly, "Zhang Hao, I still don't understand the share system. But there is one thing that I know very well.

As a ruler, you must have enough authority!

What is authority? That is, even if you do something wrong, you will not allow your subordinates to put their beaks!

Do you know why some emperors have the power of the world, while others can't get out of the palace?"

Zhang Hao shook his head, with a serious and expectant expression.

Hongyunzi took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said slowly: "It's very simple, because of authority." Some emperors maintained their authority well and could not be questioned by their subordinates.

And some emperors are very talkative, and they have to discuss everything with their subordinates. Gradually, the emperor lost his majesty. And once he loses his majesty, the emperor also loses control over the country!"

Zhang Hao smiled and nodded, not saying anything. Hongyunzi is obviously 'having a bad idea'. Of course, Zhang Hao understands these truths, but the absolute centralization of power is completely unsuitable for industry and commerce and capitalism.

The core of industry and commerce and capitalism is the collective interest!

The traditional centralized power is not cooperative, and there is only a vertical management system. If you really want to govern the Dayang Group according to this set, it may not take long for the Dayang Group to fall apart.

In the environment of industry, commerce and capitalism, the real king is not in power, but in thought, knowledge, morality, and even more in mind!

It is the height of thought and the vision of the future that shape the king of the new era.

The definition of the king in different eras is different, and the concept of the king of the old era cannot be used to measure the king of the new era.

However, Zhang Hao will not explain this, one is too troublesome, and the other is completely unnecessary. It's good to understand such things yourself. So Zhang Hao just nodded, looking teachable.

Speaking of which, Zhang Hao and Mingxu Daoist still have a master-apprentice relationship, and there are some connections. But between it and Hongyunzi...... It's better than a stranger.

My subordinates are not my subordinates! This kind of truth is too normal in this world of cultivation.

In the past, because Hongyunzi was a master of the Transformation Period, Dayang Group was not qualified to refuse. Now, huh......

Zhang Hao smiled but did not speak, and Zhou Xueyao poured tea elegantly beside him.

Hongyunzi said for a while, and when he saw Zhang Hao's disapproving expression, he frowned slightly. After a pause, Hongyunzi changed the topic, "Zhang Hao, what do you think of the current situation?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while and said directly: "At present, it seems that war is inevitable. However, I can't predict the situation of this war for the time being.

If the war is only confined to the realm of the Transformation Period, it will be fine, and it may have an impact on low-level cultivators, but it will not be too loud.

If it were still like the last war, it might have been even more tragic. ”

"Do you think this war can be stopped?"

Zhang Hao thought for a while, and suddenly said an irrelevant sentence: "The sky kills the machine and the stars move, the earth kills the dragon and the snake rises, and the people send the killing machine...... It's been turned upside down!"

Hongyunzi frowned, not knowing what Zhang Hao meant by this. In fact, this sentence is found in many practice exercises, which describes the precautions in practice, and the last sentence is not 'the world is turned upside down', but 'the heaven and the earth repeat'.

This is a warning in the practice that if the practice center is not quiet, it will kill you. This is a metaphor for cultivation through heaven and earth, and it really has nothing to do with heaven and earth.

But Zhang Hao's excerpt alone obviously has a deep meaning.

Hongyunzi thought for a while, and asked directly, "What do you want to say?"

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "On the surface, no matter whether the disaster comes from the sky or the earth, there is always a glimmer of life. But if the calamity comes from man himself...... That's the world turned upside down, and there is no more chance.

In fact, this war is a man-made disaster. The large number of appearances in the Transformation Period completely broke the balance of resources. This war was already doomed, and it was already doomed when the god transformation technology matured!

This war is inevitable.

If it doesn't erupt here, it will erupt there. Then, no one could escape. ”

Hong Yunzi's face instantly became solemn, he pondered for a while, suddenly looked at Zhang Hao's eyes, and said word by word: "You have long expected this war?

Zhang Hao was stunned, "What do I say about this? Don't you use the Transformation Technique? Don't you pursue immortality?"

Hongyunzi: ......

yes, I can't say anything about it.

Zhang Hao sighed and leaned back in his chair, "Master, this matter was already unavoidable when the transformation technique was exposed.

And the first to expose the technology of transforming gods was the country of Shaoze. At the beginning, the country of Shaoze had already cooperated with the Xuanming Sect. This is why there was the outbreak of the masters of the Xuanming Sect, and the conflict between the Xuanming Sect and the Ocean Group.

After that, there's nothing we can do about it.

Dayang Group has not made any efforts, we have worked hard to develop technology, and have developed monocrystalline metal technology, and we want to expand the resources of the Candle Dragon Continent and explore the fairy mountain. All these efforts are aimed at avoiding war as much as possible.

But...... The number of god transformation masters has increased too fast, and it has gotten out of control, and the balance of resources has been completely broken.

There's nothing we can do about it. ”

Hongyunzi didn't speak, he sipped tea silently, cup after cup, Zhou Xueyao poured tea quietly without making a sound.

It wasn't until a pot of tea was boiled seven times and Zhou Xueyao changed the tea that Hongyunzi finally put down the teacup and sighed leisurely, "Yes, you're right, this war can't be stopped at all." The contradiction between the transformation period and the transformation resources is irreconcilable. Only war, can resources be redistributed.

I just don't know, how is the Ocean Group going to participate in this war this time?"

Zhang Hao's face became serious, he slowly got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, standing behind the window and quietly looking at the bustling Ninghe City. After a while, he said slowly: "Dayang Group...... We will continue to work with those who have aspirations to open up the outside world.

We will not participate in the war, on the contrary, we will try to guide as many masters of the Transformation Stage as possible and explore to the outside world. Minimize internal pressure and reduce casualties in the war.

There is never a way out of infighting. Only by opening up outward can there be a future.

The responsibility of the Dayang Group does not allow us to participate in infighting. We will do our best to open up outward, continue to explore, at any cost!

According to the calculations of our astronomers and geographers, the earth and the oceans as we know them now are only about one-fifth to one-quarter of the surface area of the entire world! There are many more unknown worlds waiting for us to explore!"

Hongyunzi looked at Zhang Hao, who was high-spirited at the moment, and suddenly felt a yearning and ...... in his heart Faint, convincing!

Hongyunzi shook his head suddenly, threw the bad thoughts in his heart out of his mind, and continued to ask: "Then what is the next step, what is the Dayang Group going to do?

"Explore the second immortal mountain, Fanghu Mountain! According to the bracket elephant marking, Fanghu Mountain is located on the southern continent and the southern tip of the sea!

Dayang Group is already urging Xianshan Exploration Group to start preparing for the next voyage. ”

Hongyunzi's eyes drooped, and he said after a while: "But I remember, now the Xianshan Exploration Group has ...... It's dead in name. Previously, at least three hundred gods in each holy place had contracted a strange disease, and they have not been able to recover so far.

Moreover, the last time I explored the Immortal Mountain, I didn't get too many substantial benefits that could be used at this stage. As a result, a lot of people have dispersed. In particular, the fleets of all sides have now shrunk and begun to prepare for war.

Can the current Xianshan Exploration Group still be gathered? What can it do to explore the outside world?"

Hongyunzi's meaning is obvious, this so-called exploration of the Immortal Mountain is not only not beneficial, but full of dangers. The exploration of Xuanwu Mountain in the past can be said to have given everyone a blow to the head. Secrets have been discovered, but they are not needed at the moment. On the contrary, the participants paid a heavy price.

The only benefit is that the deep-sea beasts that were hunted before are now exhausted.

Especially for those who have fleets such as the Ocean Group, the Country of Qixia, the Xuanzhen Sect, and the Immortal Yin Sect, the consumption of materials alone is an astronomical amount.

After Zhang Hao heard this, he smiled. "I think we've gotten a lot. For example, we know where we came from, we know how much time is left in this world, and we know that cultivation is also technology, and it is a more advanced technology.

In addition, we have obtained a large amount of spiritual milk, and many people have recovered their longevity with it. We also learned about the concept of the starry sky and gained a clearer understanding of the practice.

In the past, we practiced the way of heaven, but we didn't know what the way of heaven was.

Now we know that there is no Heavenly Dao in this world at all, and there is spiritual power, self, and the essence of the world. So, now practice the mind and the true self!

Isn't that enough?"

"But that's all you get from exploring another immortal mountain, right?"

"I don't know!" Zhang Hao looked at the sky, "but I know that Dayang Group must do something for the current chaotic world."

Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, we are stupid. But as a responsible group, you always have to do something stupid for the world.

Not for any benefit, just for ...... We are a group of human beings!

Once, the Holy Land has been silently giving. Now that the Holy Land is too busy to take care of itself, then we must take up the flag.

Isn't the reason why human civilization has been able to make continuous progress is ...... There are too many fools!"

Hongyunzi looked at Zhang Hao's back and was stunned again. After a long while, he asked: "Others will call you stupid, and even suspect that you have other plans!"

"But we have a clear conscience!" Zhang Hao turned his head to look at Hongyunzi and said word by word, "Do what we should do and let others say it." Someday, others will understand, and even appreciate.

And at that time, Dayang Group will stand at the pinnacle and let countless people look up!"

Hongyunzi left with a shock. Until he left the range of Ninghe County, Hongyunzi suddenly stopped, and his face was stunned: Wait...... I'll go, I just listened to Zhang Hao's ideals, and I forgot to ask for support!

Am I being fooled by Zhang Hao?

Now go back, obviously not. Hongyunzi gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth again, and could only return to Xuanzhen Sect.

However, soon after Hongyunzi left, the Xuanzhen Sect placed an order with the Dayang Group by telegram, ordering 3,000 large-caliber artillery pieces (more than 300 mm) and 8 million corresponding shells to be sent to the country of Tang.

Then, in less than six hours, Hong Zhenzi came at a gallop and signed this huge order with Bai Yutang.

Because of today's technological progress, proliferation, etc., coupled with the leakage of steel technology, etc., the value of artillery has fallen too much. These orders, calculated according to the market value, totaled 500 million high-grade spirit stones.

The Xuanzhen Sect paid to the Dayang Group included 100 million high-grade spirit stones, as well as 'middle-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones' worth 100 million high-grade spirit stones.

In addition, it is an ore worth 300 million high-grade spirit stones. These ores, according to the name of the Ocean Group, include tungsten ore, osmium-iridium ore, platinum ore, rare earth metal ore and so on. Of course, high-quality gold mines, silver mines, etc., Dayang Group also needs.

Speaking of which, in this transaction, Dayang Group still gave Xuanzhen Sect a lot of convenience. After all, there is a tradition of 'being a teacher for one day and a father for life' in this world, and Dayang Group always has to be careful.

Paying with ore, and the ore is transported by the Ocean Group, it is virtually equivalent to giving a big discount to the Xuanzhen Sect.

But at the same time, the affection between the Dayang Group and the Xuanzhen Sect is also disappearing little by little. This time, the 'shareholder impeachment of Zhang Hao' made public by Dayang Group is a statement. Our fate is about to run out!

However, Xuanzhenjiao's order this time is also very interesting: it requires that it be shipped as soon as possible, and a supplementary contract must be signed, requiring Dayang Group to deliver it according to the agreement between the two parties.

The agreement is: within ten days, all the materials will be delivered to the vicinity of Yucheng in the country of Tang. If it is delayed, Neptune must compensate according to the regulations - as long as it is not 'fully delivered', it will be fined 5% of the total value of the order for each day of delay.

If the strategy fails due to delay, etc., Dayang Group also needs to compensate!

Of course, if the Ocean Group can 'deliver it all' in advance, the Xuanzhen Sect also needs to give rewards according to the agreement. For each day in advance, 5% of the total value of the order will be rewarded!

In this agreement, Dayang Group suffers a little.

However, the requirements of the Xuanzhen Sect are also reasonable. After all, the war is in full swing and cannot wait. Moreover, this time, the Xuanzhen Sect opened up the supply of tungsten ore, osmium-iridium ore, platinum ore and other precious ores, which also made it difficult for Dayang Group to refuse.

But the next day, when the warehousing and logistics department began to arrange the delivery, it suddenly found that the most convenient way to quickly deliver these materials to the target was the railway. Loading from the Dayang Group factory can be sent to Yucheng in one breath.

If it is transported by merchant ship, the merchant ship is slow, and it is a bit difficult to take ten days. It's okay to transport it by warship, but when you arrive in the land of Tang, you need to transfer it, which is a bit troublesome.

The news was quickly placed in front of Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao didn't care at first, but after a while, Zhang Hao frowned. "It's a ...... Pit?

For ten days, only rail transportation can be chosen. To deliver 3000 artillery pieces and 6 million shells to their destination, about 150 trips were needed.

And now there are only 1600 guns in warehouses, and 1400 more need to be produced immediately, which will take five days. It will be too late to transport it by battleship after five days, only by rail!

And the railway, it needs to pass through the country of Canglan and the country of Shaoze!"

Zhang Hao's eyes were sharp, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table. After a while, Zhang Hao sneered, "The Xuanzhen Sect seems to be digging a pit. But it doesn't matter. For this order, we ...... Don't eat alone!

Now the society pays attention to win-win cooperation!

Some of the artillery and shells in the warehouses were immediately transported by battleship.

The rest will be purchased from the Ming Sect, the Xuanming Sect, and the Tiandu Sect. The purchased artillery and shells were sent directly to the land of the Tang dynasty through the battleship!

Didn't we sign a reward agreement with the Xuanzhen Sect for early delivery, hehe, we will earn this reward. The rest of the profits, give to others!"

(Two more, but enough for 9,000 words.) Ask for a ticket, la-la-la)
