However, a body of seven feet has already been promised to the country! No matter how hard it is to give it to Qing!————General Cai E
Just when Li Weidong didn't know how to comfort Lin Yanran, Gao Yi hurriedly ran from a distance and immediately helped Li Weidong to rescue him.
Arriving in front of Li Weidong, Gao Yi stood at attention and said: "General! Zhang Qishan, the general manager of Nanyang Trading Company, is here. I have something to talk to you about!"
"Yeah, I got it!" Li Weidong responded.
Seeing that Li Weidong was busy with something, Lin Yanran, who felt a little lonely, politely said goodbye: "The wind is strong! General, I'm busy first, I'm going back!"
Looking at Lin Yanran's thin and lonely back as she turned to leave, Li Weidong wanted to persuade her to stay, but he didn't know how to say it, and finally turned into a sigh.
She is a woman with a strong appearance but a weak heart. In order to fulfill her family's mission, she needs to shoulder the responsibilities on her weak shoulders to help her elderly father and her worried brother who is in trouble.
Li Weidong originally wanted to lend her a shoulder, but in the end he backed down. He was burdened with the ideal of reviving the Chinese nation and Zhang Xiaoyou's love, and had no energy to care about anything else.
Waving his hand, Li Weidong ordered his subordinates to send Lin Yanran back, and then took Gao Yi to see Zhang Qishan. Li Weidong was shocked when he saw Zhang Qishan, but they hadn't seen each other for a while. How could Zhang Qishan have become like this?
It was seen that at this time, Zhang Qishan no longer looked as prosperous as before, but had a look of exhaustion that could not be concealed, and his figure could be clearly seen to be smaller.
"My commander-in-chief! Are you finally willing to come? If you don't come, the company will close down!" Zhang Qishan complained tiredly as soon as he saw Li Weidong.
Li Weidong asked in confusion: "Brother Zhang! What's the matter? Just tell me if you have any difficulties!"
Li Weidong has seen the total profit of Nanyang Company in the past six months. He remembers it being very good! Why is it about to go bankrupt now?
After Zhang Qishan's explanation, Li Weidong understood the cause of the matter, which was related to Li Weidong's original industrial encouragement policy.
Due to the continuous foreign wars and military expansion in the past six months, most of the Hainan Army's industrial system is centered around military needs. Seventy percent of the factories in Hainan Island are engaged in military production or industries linked to the military.
Those small-scale operators, such as fishermen, small landowners, mineral traders, etc., grow or purchase raw materials, process them initially, and then sell them to large businessmen with capital who set up factories.
Those big businessmen will make the raw materials after preliminary processing and make finished products and buy them to vendors, who will then sell these products to consumers, thus achieving a virtuous cycle.
Among these many links, businessmen often want to make more money after making profits, and then they will expand production and recruit more workers. Therefore, there has always been a shortage of workers in Hainan Island.
But there is one most important link in this virtuous cycle, which is market share. And in the business field, whoever occupies the market will be in a leading position. So occupying the market is crucial.
But as mentioned above, 70% of the factories in Hainan Island are engaged in military production, or indirect services and military. Then the orders from the Hainan Army Logistics Department are the basis for their survival.
The problem lies here. The Hainan Army's foreign military wars have stopped, but there is no way to consume the surplus products. The military orders are too many and there are simply not enough.
In the past two months, orders from the Hainan Army Logistics Department have been decreasing day by day, and a large amount of materials are backlogged in the hands of factory merchants. Continuing production is a loss of money, but stopping work is even more costly.
Seeing the money in their pockets dwindling every day, the hearts of those businessmen are bleeding every moment, and some factories are on the verge of bankruptcy and layoffs.
As the leader, Nanyang Trading Company's main purpose is to support these emerging industries and commerce. Of course, it cannot let them go bankrupt, so Zhang Qishan had no choice but to come to Li Weidong for help.
"A plan to expand the army by 20,000 people was just approved today. With this batch of orders, you can relieve their urgent needs first! I will find a way to solve this matter!" Li Weidong frowned and thought for a long time.
He didn't study market economics in his previous life, so he couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so he had to let Zhang Qishan go to the rescue first.
After letting Zhang Qishan go home and rest first, Li Weidong returned to the apartment and found that Zhang Xiaoyou was not there. He must have returned to Zhang's house. Afterwards, after reading the report for a while in the study, Li Weidong fell asleep on the table without knowing it.
Xiaoyi accidentally fell asleep while coding last night and almost overslept! But fortunately, the update caught up!]
A night without words....
The next day, Li Weidong put down unimportant official duties early in the morning and came to the Zhang Mansion to visit his uncle Zhang Hongming. Of course, he brought some tea to his future father-in-law.
Of course the concierge dared to stop Zhang Qihong, who was the future uncle of the Zhang family and the de facto ruler of the Hainan Army. As soon as Li Weidong entered the door, he saw Zhang Qihong hurriedly out.
"Weidong! Are you here to see your little sister? She is at her mother's place now!" Zhang Qihong asked when he suddenly saw Li Weidong.
"Well, I'm here to see my uncle. I need to ask you something!" Li Weidong replied.
"At this time, father should be practicing swordplay in the yard. I have something to do now, so you can go find it yourself!" After that, Zhang Qihong left in a hurry.
"Well, looking at the smile on his face, he couldn't be dating some beautiful lady, right?" Looking at his happy face, the fire of gossip suddenly burned in Li Weidong's eyes.
Because of Zhang Hongming, Zhang Qihong was transferred from a military position to a civilian position last month and served as the office director in a military and political building.
Zhang Qihong finally got the idea this time. If this was the girl from that family, his uncle would definitely be very happy! He knew that Mr. Zhang's desire to have a grandson was very strong.
Entering the small garden square, Li Weidong quickly found Zhang Hongming who was practicing sword practice. He didn't disturb him and just waited beside him.
It is different from the old men and women dancing the Tai Chi sword in the parks of later generations. Even if Li Weidong does not understand the sword technique, he can feel the extraordinary quality of Zhang Hongming's sword technique just by looking at the momentum and movements.
Just when Li Weidong was lost in thought, Fu Lao appeared with a tea set. After seeing Li Weidong, he explained: "This set of swordsmanship was learned from my master when I was young. In the blink of an eye, I have been practicing for decades!"
At this time, Zhang Hongming ended with a gorgeous sword flower, exhaled a breath and slowly stopped.
Bang... Bang... Bang! Li Weidong clapped his hands and applauded, and at the same time praised: "Uncle! What a great swordsmanship, Weidong is eye-opening this time!"
"Haha! As people get older, their physical strength is not as good as before!" Zhang Hongming sighed, wiped the Han water and continued: "I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything! Tell me, what difficulties did you encounter this time?"
