"Sir, this is what happened. I think what Bailang dictated is more meaningful than the idea of an industrial park he proposed before. It can be used to dismantle all industries and discover new opportunities from them, which can greatly improve The output and efficiency of an industry.”
In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Zhonghao shook out all the new things about the industrial park that he had collected from Bailang. At the end, he also gave some comments, which was rare when Zhou Zhonghao reported the situation in the past. Under normal circumstances, he would not express his own opinion first, let alone make an evaluation first. He would let Feng Mingyuan make a decision first, and then he would rely on this tone to help improve it.
Feng Mingyuan sat on the chair and pondered in silence for a long time.
"It seems that you are very optimistic about this Bailang?" Feng Mingyuan smiled and suddenly turned the conversation away from the strategy itself and put it on Bailang who proposed the strategy. As for whether the strategy was good or bad, how could he not understand it? And having been with Zhou Zhonghao for so long, he was familiar with Zhou Zhonghao's every move, so he also guessed that Zhou Zhonghao's subtext was actually to recommend Bai Lang to him.
Zhou Zhonghao didn't shy away from it either, because he had no selfish motives and was just promoting talents. As for how to treat it, it all depends on Feng Mingyuan himself, and he will not talk too much. It's enough that he says what he says.
"Yes, sir, Bai Lang is definitely a genius. He is worldly and has fantastic ideas. He seems to be out of touch but can be well embedded in a complex and dirty place like the knife studio. He also has a rare and sincere heart. I I tried to test him and said that I could help him leave the sword shop and come to the city lord's palace, but he refused without thinking, saying that the sword shop was kind to him and he couldn't be ungrateful and just run away after seeing a benefit."
"Oh? He also rejected your kindness?"
"Yes sir."
Feng Mingyuan pointed at Zhou Zhonghao with a smile and said, "You, don't you understand the nature of those people in the swordsmanship hall? They are all smelly and hard stones. Whether they are talents or idiots, as long as they are born in the swordsmanship hall, they will There are very few people who choose to die halfway. Most of them would rather rot in the knife studio.
And even if the people from the knife shop come out, how can you use it with confidence? "
"This" Zhou Zhonghao suddenly found that he really couldn't answer. Indeed, the sword shop is not a kind place. The people inside have nothing to do with "honesty" either. And although the relationship between the Sword Hall and the City Lord's Mansion can be managed, "loyalty" is out of the question. What if Bai Lang comes in and plays the role of an informant?
"So, the people in the knife studio can give you a name, and you can use it when it can be used in the future. The knife studio won't dare to stop you. But it's better to be cautious when poaching. Even if Bai Lang is really the genius you said, don't touch the red line of the knife shop easily, it will be very troublesome if those people go crazy."
"My lord, you have taught me a lesson. This subordinate was reckless this time."
Feng Mingyuan waved his hand. He didn't think Zhou Zhonghao had done anything wrong. After all, the counselors below would always make some attempts on his behalf. As long as it doesn't cross the line, he thinks it's okay.
"Then what benefit does he want?"
Hearing Feng Mingyuan's question, Zhou Zhonghao laughed subconsciously and said, "Sir, you would never have imagined that what Bailang asked for would be for me to help him redeem a singer from Hualou."
"Huh? Hahaha" Feng Mingyuan was stunned at first, and then burst out laughing, exactly the same as Zhou Zhonghao's reaction when he heard Bai Lang's request.
"The heart of a boy! The heart of a boy! Hahaha" Feng Mingyuan laughed so freely mainly because he felt it was so funny, and he could understand that this kind of "interesting" had appeared in him before and then gradually disappeared. That's why I laugh.
In the view of Feng Mingyuan and Zhou Zhonghao, the first thing to be rewarded after great achievements should be various scarce resources related to Qi practitioners, such as exercises, spells, magic weapons, elixirs, etc. The second is martial arts classics, or rare magical weapons in the hands of warriors. The last thing is to seek money or some kind of power position.
As for women, Feng Mingyuan also placed women in a very high position in his heart. Then it slowly fell. Now it is no longer worthy of the word "important".
From the perspective of Feng Mingyuan and Zhou Zhonghao, this is like asking you to go to the vault and take whatever you want, but after you go in, you fall in love with a glass lamp used for decoration in the vault. You want nothing but this. There is quite a taste of putting preference first, and smelling of money and dirt.
It actually looks silly, but it's silly and fun.
Zhou Zhonghao also laughed in agreement: "Yes, I was stunned at the time. After confirming it later, when I saw Bai Lang's serious look, I laughed on the spot. And that kid is also a thief, and he wants to redeem himself. I am a silver-medal singer in Shuanghua Tower. Not to mention the level of the Flower Tower, that kid will never be able to get the ransom money."
"So he's going to ask you to help with money and effort? He got a beauty for free?"
"Yes."
"Hahaha, it's interesting! It's really interesting! But if you think so highly of him, you won't let him suffer, right?" Feng Mingyuan was still laughing, but his words were still insightful.
"Yes, sir. Since Bailang has rejected my invitation, it is difficult to give him martial arts skills and the like. Money is the easiest, and he also needs it. So I told him some preliminary arrangements for the industrial park in the city lord's palace. , with his brain, he will naturally get enough benefits from it. As for whether he understands the propriety, let's wait and see."
Feng Mingyuan nodded. In his opinion, this was indeed the right thing to do. After all, she was just a silver singer, and he wasn't even interested in hearing her name. But just this small reward really seemed like he was too stingy. Zhou Zhonghao later used this method to add some benefits to Bailang, which was a very good thing.
But then Zhou Zhonghao added: "But Bailang himself doesn't have any capital. I think he will drag people from the knife shop to do it together."
"It doesn't matter. The people in the knife shop don't know anything about the iron industry. He is not qualified to get involved in related things. At most, he can only make some simple money relying on the industrial park. Don't worry about it.
On the contrary, things in the industrial park can start as soon as possible. I estimate that the envoy should arrive in the next two days. According to the previous habit of the envoy, he should secretly enter the city in advance. With Zhang Yangsong accompanying me this time, I think this possibility is even greater. You have to explain everything to the following. "
"Don't worry, sir. We have already made arrangements for people from the Yamen and the sword shop. I will explain it to you later."
While Feng Mingyuan and Zhou Zhonghao were talking in the study, a group of two middle-aged men dressed as scholars entered the city from the north gate of Yongchuan City in an ox cart, walked around the city, and finally chose to Stayed at an inn in the east of the city.
