Chapter Seventy-Three: The Weapon of War
After being strong, lower your head so that both sides have steps to go down. Although Zhang Hao's handling is a bit blunt, it has begun to be extraordinary.
Liu Jingming nodded, Zhou Bo and others appreciated, and the prime minister could only nod.
Taking advantage of the luncheon time, Zhou Bo immediately arranged for someone to rearrange the seats.
This time Zhang Hao gave an opinion: according to the traditional seating order, no matter how it is arranged, it is not very suitable, there is always one side in the high, one side in the low, one side in the top, one side in the bottom. So Zhang Hao had an idea: we sat opposite each other.
We do the East because we are the hosts.
That's how the luncheon was arranged, and both parties were satisfied.
During the luncheon, Zhou Bo talked and laughed, talking about the causes and consequences of the guild, responsibilities, etc., especially pointing out the contribution of the guild to stabilizing the value of the currency, and finally focusing on the patent system that the guild is most proud of.
Prime Minister Ouyang Si was a little unimpressed at first, but gradually, he also had a deep understanding of the Xuantie Guild, but he continued to praise it.
With a basic understanding between the two sides and the fact that they are equally concerned about the country, negotiations will be much easier.
However, when it comes to money, "easy" is limited.
The Xuantie Guild said: We can only draw out 200 tons of Xuantie every day, and as for the quality, it depends on the sales of the day.
The prime minister said: In the past month, all of them have been supplied to the military.
The Xuantie Guild said: We can give one year of interest-free credit.
The prime minister said: You should sell at a 20% discount on the market price.
The Xuantie Guild said: We are asking for tax incentives.
The prime minister said: It is your duty and responsibility to pay taxes according to the law, and even if it is interest, you must pay taxes.
The two sides are at loggerheads. For these things in terms of interests, Zhou Bo and others have no teacher. Interests are a thing that must be taken into account.
Zhang Hao saw that there was nothing to do with him, so he left, and as soon as he got out of the house, someone handed Zhang Hao a love letter...... cough cough, it's a message: "Deacon Zhang, there is a person named Mu Yingying at the door, who has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Zhang Hao looked up at the already reddened sunset, and then at the gossip eyes of the guild guards, shrugged his shoulders, and came to the gate.
A beautiful but luxurious carriage was parked at the door, and the guards and coachmen were motionless like sculptures, except for the restless movement of the two white horses pulling the carriage.
Zhang Hao came to the front of the carriage and shouted softly: "Sister Shi, Zhang Hao is late, please atone for your sins." ”
"What kind of crime do you have, it's the little sister who bothered you. ”
Zhang Hao listened to this somewhat sour voice, hurriedly apologized, and preemptively changed the topic: "Shimei, it's me who is negligent." Can you give me a chance to atone for my sins?"
"I'm here to see the sunset, and I'll leave after watching it. ”
Zhang Hao was even more sure that this Mu Yingying was indeed on fire. I like to watch the sunset, right, so it's good to watch the sunset. By the way, Zhang Hao searched his mind and found a few jokes.
“...... I may not be the most beautiful, I may not be the smartest...... My name is Wei Bihui. ”
"If an emperor wants to make a new garment, the new garment must be able to measure the loyalty of his subordinates...... As a result, a few children were ignorant and said that His Majesty was wearing nothing, but they were taken away by adults. ”
"What would a seven-ripe roast and a three-ripe roast say when they met?"
Mu Yingying was finally amused, and said with a smile: "I will say, we are just suitable." ”
"yes, we're just right. Zhang Hao repeated it seriously.
Mu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then took a sip, "I know how to bully others!" Hmph, we want to imitate the Xuantie Guild and form a refining guild. But I always feel that there is something missing, so I want to ask my brother for advice. ”
"I tried my best. ”
Zhang Hao took a horse, followed behind Mu Yingying, and walked forward, but along the way, Zhang Hao had a plan in his heart: now, the family has a rich accumulation, perhaps, it is time to get involved in the refining industry!
Will the refining union be the next opportunity for the Zhang family's development?
The two of them walked not fast, and when the sun fell to the top of the city, they came to Jiuzhen Tower.
Jiuzhen Building was still so lively, but when Zhang Hao came to the door, the maid at the door shouted neatly: "Welcome to Zhang Gongzi." ”
At that moment, a sense of satisfaction arose. We are finally not nameless supporting characters.
As soon as he entered the Jiuzhen Building, the shopkeeper greeted him with a bright smile, and personally invited Zhang Hao and Mu Yingying to the eighth floor.
Standing on the eighth floor, Zhang Hao looked at the closed door on the ninth floor, and was a little puzzled: "The ninth floor doesn't seem to have been opened?"
The shopkeeper immediately replied, "Because we haven't prepared all the dishes on the ninth floor so far." Let Zhang Gongzi smile. ”
Zhang Hao nodded, but there were ten thousand unbelief in his heart. But what people say is beautiful. The ninth floor, for sure, is used to greet real VIPs. For example, the crown prince, the elders of the Jiuyang Sect and the like.
The private room turned out to be the same as the one last time, and the people Zheng Changqiu, Mu Mingchen, Mei Qianyun, Ji Wei, Liu Xian and others that Zhang Hao knew were all there. There are also quite a few new faces.
Zheng Changqiu was very enthusiastic and pulled Zhang Hao to introduce them one by one.
"The big shopkeeper of Yunying Commercial Bank, Liu Guang. A big master in the early days of the infant. ”
"Young Master of the Mu family, Mu Pengcheng. 20 years old, in the middle of foundation building. ”
......
took a turn, and finally returned to Zheng Changqiu's seat, pointing to the introduction next to him: "Zheng Shaojie, the eldest young master of the Zheng family, 19 years old, in the middle of foundation building." ”
Zhang Hao greeted him one by one, and it was not rude.
got acquainted, but Ji Wei went straight to the point: "Virtuous nephews, they are all their own people, so I will say it directly." ”
Zhang Hao nodded in agreement. But I have another idea in my heart: we are acquaintances at most, don't press the words 'own people'.
Ji Wei talked about their preparation for the construction of the Refining Guild: at the beginning, they discussed it very well, but they always felt that there were shortcomings, but they couldn't say it.
In short, everyone got together, but they couldn't find the tacit understanding of the Xuantie Guild.
After listening to this, Zhang Hao said unceremoniously: "Deacon Ji, I probably understand what is missing.
Let's talk about the Xuantie Guild first, there is a premise for the establishment of the Xuantie Guild.
The market is chaotic and everyone's interests are damaged, and everyone urgently needs to make effective changes. It just so happened that the Zhang family had enough fame because of the public water forging technique. That's why there was the Xuantie Guild.
That is, everyone comes together with a common purpose.
Excuse me, what is the common purpose of all of you coming together?"
Mu Yingying thought for a while and said: "Our common purpose is to expand and sort out the domestic magic weapon smelting industry. ”
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Shimei, I think that the guild is a big family, and everyone is a family member.
The family needs to have an internal core, not an external one. ”
Mu Yingying's eyebrows frowned slightly: "May I ask the world brother, what is the core of the Xuantie Guild?"
More specifically, the technology of smelting iron. In the past, we cherished the technology of smelting black iron, but now, we are open internally, and everyone has made great progress. I think all of you here should have a deep understanding. ”
Everyone nodded, and they personally witnessed the rise and development of the Xuantie Guild.
But what is the core of the Refining Guild?
Zheng Shaojie pondered: "Our technologies are different, and the refining products are also very different, I can't think of the common ground for a while!"
Mu Yingying's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, there is an item that can accommodate all the differences." That's it: the magic weapon of war!"
Weapons of war? Everyone's eyes instantly brightened.
Zhang Hao also came to the spirit. Although I have heard the words "war weapon" many times, and I have heard of the power of war weapon, I have never seen this powerful war machine with my own eyes.
