Chapter 1368: Colluding with outsiders, Manager Sun should also have
One portion, right?
There are many people in the Mineral Islands League who think the same way as Dani Koeman.
As the first gathering place to enter a period of peaceful development, the prototype of a small society has already been born here.
Human beings gradually abandoned the barbaric behavior of plundering each other, began to seek a more civilized and rational way of survival, and entered the civilized era of exchanging things for things.
The value of labor force has also been re-recognized and affirmed here. Not only can people get paid based on their skills and contributions, but the various materials produced also have an anchor point.
If this sudden outbreak of chaos had not occurred, the smelting factories on the major islands would soon have served as the first spring thunder, starting the development of the alliance.
It's a pity that in this current situation, everything seems to be empty talk.
"Now, it's time for everyone to return to their posts for the time being. Our production cannot stop yet."
Danny Coleman raised his hand and waved, "Although the manager died on Shuima Island, our factory has reached the most critical shipping period. As long as we find a suitable seller, I can tell you all here.
I guarantee that we will be able to sell it at a good price and continue our development.”
The workers actually wanted to ask more questions, but Danny Coleman no longer had the heart to answer those stupid questions.
Is it true that Silver Sand Island is not safe, but the other islands must be safe?
Could it be that last night's chaos is over, and there won't be new chaos tonight?
Before something actually happens, all speculations are empty talk. It is better to deal with the present moment first.
After instructing several team leaders to arrange for workers to enter the workshop, Danny Coleman called over Sylvie Harry, the senior deputy director of the smelting plant.
As a technical and managerial man, Harry Sr. has always been Danny Koeman’s confidant.
Therefore, after the two of them entered the office, Danny Coleman did not hide it and said quickly:
"Harry, please hurry up and help me prepare a gift. I want to take the gift to Tiantie Island."
"Ah? Are you going to visit those outsiders?"
"Yes, not only are they not dead, but they are alive and well. They are now VIPs of Tiantie Island."
Danny Coleman kept taking out stacks of information from his desk drawer.
Since the papermaking technology of the Mineral Island Alliance has not yet been iterated, the paper used for the materials is very rough.
But this does not prevent survivors from recording some important data and information on it.
Old Harry craned his neck and glanced.
"Hey, do you want to show the production data of our factory to outsiders?"
"Yeah." Danny Koeman replied without raising his head:
"Fortunately, I have had several dealings with Lin Jiafeng from the Tiantie Island Smelter before, and the relationship is quite good. I learned from him that these outsiders have a huge demand for ore, and there is no problem in eating our output."
"Ah, what if they're not going to pay?"
"Do we have any other options?"
Danny Koeman smiled helplessly. If he had the choice, he would never choose to trade with these outsiders.
This group came to Mineral Island Alliance for a day
It’s only one day!
The alliance fell apart internally, and only one of the six islands was left barely untouched by the chaos.
If they stay here longer, will this place turn into a chaotic battlefield?
Moreover, if the strength gap between the two parties to the transaction is too large, they will not be able to bargain at all during the price negotiation process.
When the other party told them what the price was, they had no choice but to agree, even if they lost money.
But having said that, it is actually not realistic to find a force that is weaker than the Mine Island Alliance to conduct large-scale transactions.
At this stage, the forces in urgent need of minerals are basically taking steps towards industrial development.
Those who can come all the way to purchase minerals are just like those outsiders yesterday, their strength crushes them.
Black cat or white cat, the one that can catch mice is a good cat.
Anyway, they are forces that they cannot afford to offend. They have no choice but to gamble on luck.
If you make a wrong bet, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck and your lack of fortune.
But if the bet is right, it will be the rhythm of stepping directly to the sky with the left foot stepping on the right foot.
"I'm going to get ready." Old Harry nodded and left. When he reached the door, he turned back and asked, "Do you want to bring some gifts to Manager Sun as well?"
"Take him with you. You're going to his territory anyway, so you have to have an attitude."
"OK."
In fact, there are not many things in the wasteland that can be regarded as gifts. They are mainly people's livelihood supplies.
But old Harry is undoubtedly a careful person and does not follow the crowd when it comes to gift selection.
The gift brought to Sun Guangmin was a scientific magazine that he specially took out from the material warehouse. It recorded several simple iron-making earthworks and how to make some gadgets.
He was even more thoughtful about the gifts he brought to the group of outsiders and specially prepared some rare items.
"Where's the metal that was dug out a few days ago? Lift it out for me quickly."
Under Old Harry's instructions, several strong workers hurriedly lifted out a large piece of earth-yellow ore from the depths of the dark warehouse.
From the appearance, this piece of ore shows a deep and warm earthy color. This luster is different from the cold hardness of ordinary metals, but has a warm and deep jade texture.
Moreover, its surface is covered with all kinds of peculiar lines. These intricate lines are like the marks left by the earth after the vicissitudes of life, or like the mysterious symbols of some unknown civilization, which attract endless imagination.
Under the illumination of light, the ore sometimes sparkles with a subtle luster, as if the inner vitality is quietly flowing.
What's even more surprising is that some parts of the ore occasionally emit weak heat, as if there is a huge energy inside it that may burst out at any time.
This strange phenomenon made the workers cautious during the transportation process, for fear of touching some unknown mechanism.
"Bring the pickaxe over here and carve out a piece for me."
"Ah," several workers hesitated, looking at me and looking at you, but no one dared to do anything.
Ever since this strange stone was dug up in the silver mine, rumors have spread in the factory in the past two days that it is the devil's eye.
Those strange lines seal the demonic power inside, and anyone who dares to destroy it will be counterattacked.
If he wants to take action, he wants them to die.
In the end, old Harry took matters into his own hands and chiseled out a fist-sized piece of ore from the side.
"Carry it back, you bunch of cowards."
Old Harry curled his lips.
Ordinary ores cannot be used as gifts to attract the attention of the outsiders.
Although I don’t know what this piece of yellow ore is, it can always be regarded as a scarce commodity.
After packing all the gifts in boxes, Old Harry returned to the office, and Danny Coleman had just prepared the basic production materials for the factory.
Within the Mineral Island Alliance, the six islands occupy different values due to their differences in strength.
This can be seen from the name.
The most powerful Jinyan Island naturally occupies the most precious gold mines, while Flint Island occupies a large area of copper mines. These two minerals are undoubtedly the most important and valuable resources in the entire alliance.
Although Shuima Island and Tiantie Island are not as powerful as Jinyan Island and Flint Island, they have also relied on their own strength and strategies to successfully occupy other valuable mineral deposits, such as mineral veins rich in rare elements or stable output.
Mineral points.
However, for Yinsha Island and Qianshan Island, their situation seems a bit embarrassing.
Due to limitations in strength and geographical location, they are forced to accept the least valuable minerals and scattered mining areas.
For example, the large area of silver mines on Yinsha Island should have been much higher than the value of copper mines.
However, because there are not many gathering places in demand in the short or even medium term, their economic value is greatly reduced.
Bringing the gift, Danny Coleman got on the boat worriedly and headed towards Tiantie Island.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the island, he met Nevin Barford, the director of the Qianshan Island smelting plant next door.
The two islands can now be regarded as inseparable brothers. Danny Coleman and Nevin Barford put their minds together and simply boarded a boat to go to Tiantie Island to visit the group of outsiders.
It's close to twelve o'clock at noon.
The sun shone hotly on the river, and the golden light shone, as if it was going to scorch everything.
But when they boarded the Tiantie Island Pier, they found that the place was already crowded with many survivors.
Most of them are natives of Tiantie Island, hurriedly cleaning up the mess left by the fierce battle last night.
Ships that had been damaged by bombings could be seen everywhere, and the charred wooden boards and twisted metal looked particularly dazzling in the sun.
The wooden piles of the pier were covered with dense bullet holes, as if they had been attacked by countless swarms of swarms, recording the brutality of the battle last night.
There is also a strong smell of blood in the air. This smell becomes stronger under the sunlight, as if it wants to invade every pore of a person.
The river breeze blew by, bringing not coolness but this disgusting blood.
The sunlight and the smell of blood intertwined to form a suffocating atmosphere, making Danny Coleman squint his eyes to avoid the unpleasant smell and the dazzling sunlight.
But soon, he spotted a few acquaintances out of the corner of his eye.
"Flint Island, Jinyan Island, Shuima Island, everyone is here."
In addition to the directors of the three island smelting factories, there are also many additional people from Flint Island and Jinyan Island.
There are various handicraft factories that have just been established, and there are machinery factories that have been established for a long time but have never received much attention.
It is worth mentioning that some family workshops actually sent people over, and I don’t know what their intentions were.
"Fortunately, we didn't hesitate and came right away. Otherwise, we might have been in trouble if we came later."
The chubby Barford wiped the sweat from his head and stood on his feet to look inside Tiantie Island.
Except for the dock, no other place on Tiantie Island was devastated by the war.
And this place is not like their island, where the survivors gathered together in panic, and Tiantie Island still maintains almost the same order as before.
It didn't take long before the guard members arranged by Hu Shulin led all the visiting guests into the designated place in an orderly manner.
According to the status and level of each island factory, except for the people in the family workshop who were first arranged to wait in the rest area, the directors of the other large and small factories were all politely taken to the small restaurant where the Spicy Iron Hammer and the two were previously entertained.
As Hu Shulin stepped forward and opened the door of the restaurant, everyone's eyes invariably focused on the two tables in the restaurant.
At one of the tables, a group of young men in black uniforms sat.
This group of people have tall and straight postures and fierce expressions. They have pistols prominently stuck in their waists and there are several rifles on the ground. Even if they are sitting there quietly, they exude a frightening aura.
.
In the center of another table, Spicy Hammer and Doomsday Madman sat side by side.
Although the two of them looked ordinary, the temperament they showed in their movements was completely different from ordinary survivors.
At this time, Sun Guangmin, the manager of Tiantie Island, was sitting respectfully beside the two young men.
Without any further introduction from Hu Shulin, everyone knew who the real owner was.
"Just find a seat and sit by yourself. Just leave your things at the door."
Of course Hu Shulin won't let anyone bring gifts in. Who knows what's inside.
And if different families start to compare themselves with each other because of gifts, the scene will indeed not be pretty.
A group of people put down their things and walked in one after another with their heads lowered.
Lin Jiafeng stood up to greet everyone and smiled at everyone: "All the factory directors are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Director Lin!" Lin Jiafeng, who used to have a low status, now has to be greeted respectfully by everyone.
While exchanging pleasantries, everyone was actually looking at the two Spicy Iron Hammers out of the corner of their eyes.
It seems like there is no domineering presence that a super territory should have?
Danny Koeman, who was behind the crowd, rolled his eyes and couldn't help but secretly thought that he was quite lucky.
After Lin Jiafeng finished speaking, Sun Guangmin stood up and said: "I'm sorry that the chaos last night disturbed everyone, but I think everyone who is here now should already know what happened."
"Yes, I have to tell you some bad news first."
"Due to the instigation of a group of people with ulterior motives, serious internal strife occurred within our Mine Island Alliance, resulting in the tragic death of two fellow managers of Yinsha Island and Qianshan Island."
After the words fell, everyone turned their heads and looked at Danny Coleman and Barford in tacit understanding.
Although the two of them didn't have any fluctuations in their hearts, they still pretended to be sad and said a few words of remembrance, trying their best to save face.
"In addition, because Wu Jiahao is a serious suspect, and we have obtained evidence that he colluded with outsiders, the guards have now detained him in prison, and a public trial will be launched in the near future."
Cai Feng, the factory director of Shui Ma Island, nodded quickly and angrily said a few words about dog thieves harming people.
"As for Hua Qingyun and Encobat, they are also suspected of colluding with outsiders and are still under investigation."
"You should have no objections, right?"
On such a sensitive issue as "no", the directors of several smelting plants dared to say no and quickly nodded in agreement.
But at this moment, an inappropriate voice came from the side:
"I have an opinion."
"Oh?" Subconsciously, everyone turned to look at the place where the sound came from.
But the person who spoke was none other than Wu Yuhe, the deputy manager of Firestone Island.
"When it comes to colluding with outsiders, I think Manager Sun should also have a share, right?"
