After finishing this paragraph, Manman asked again: "What does it mean to see only clothes but no people?"
Hua Zhenxing: "This is a metaphor, which means that they have no position, only pure utilitarianism and practicality. For example, if you want to wear beautiful clothes, it is to dress yourself up beautifully. But some people are like clothes racks in a store
, the clothes rack is just to display the clothes more beautifully.”
Manman blinked for a long time, feeling half-understood but also enlightened, and then asked: "Is there any more story?"
Hua Zhenxing: "There is another famous story, which is the death of Su Qin..."
Su Qin was stabbed by someone sent to fight for power in Qi State. The injury was so serious that it was difficult to treat. The king of Qi wanted to catch the murderer but failed. Before Su Qin died, he told the king of Qi: "My body will be publicly punished by being split in a chariot.
Claim that I am a spy sent by Yan State and offer a reward to those who assassinate me."
The King of Qi acted according to the plan, and the assassin came to collect the reward himself, so the King of Qi executed the assassin. This is the story of Su Qin's legacy and his revenge after his death.
Manman wondered: "Is the killer a fool? He is a murderer, so he dares to receive the reward? Is King Qi also a fool? He just did what Su Qin said? Listen to the story you just told, that man's name is Su Qin
You're not stupid, why did you come up with such a stupid idea?"
Manman is not from Dongguo and does not understand this period of history. She has no preconceived notions. It is just the first time she has heard such a story, so she naturally has questions.
Moreover, Manman is definitely not a person who knows much about maneuvering and deceit. Her education in this area is not much better than that of ordinary people in the Eastern Kingdom during the Warring States Period. Even she thought that the assassin was a fool. I'm afraid he really was.
A fool.
"You're right to ask!" Hua Zhenxing couldn't help but stretched out his finger and flicked the tip of Manman's nose. "I asked the same question at the beginning, but old man Yang told me that Su Qin is not stupid, and he also knows about the assassin.
It is unlikely that he is a fool, but he has been playing tricks of power all his life, and even in death he has to play tricks.
King Qi wanted to catch the assassin, so Su Qin told King Qi a way to catch the assassin. No matter it was a real assassin or a fake assassin, even if he killed a random death row prisoner, if he followed his method, everyone would recognize him as an assassin.
, will also think that he, Su Qin, is great for being able to avenge himself even after he dies."
Manman: "You mean, the king killed another person but claimed that person was the killer?"
Hua Zhenxing: "I'm not saying that this must be the case, but it's very possible. It's definitely not possible to do it directly, because it's not easy for people to believe it, but with this strategy, the credibility will be higher. It is said that King Qi only executed the man who came to collect the money.
I didn’t hear that he had found out the mastermind behind the murder.”
At this time, Li Xiaoyang walked in and greeted with a smile: "Oh, is Manman learning to write?"
Hua Zhenxing raised his head and smiled: "You came just in time, let's have a meal together at noon."
Li Xiaoyang: "If I weren't afraid of disturbing you, I would eat three meals a day here. I made an appointment with Lei Gong this afternoon, and we just happened to go together after dinner."
Huazhen Bank has been a bit "not doing business" these days. He has no time to sit at the counter. Old Yang also went to the Palm Manor to enjoy himself. The business of the grocery store was left to Li Xiaoyang to take care of. Li Xiaoyang also played a guest role as a gold inspector and collector for several days.
,.
Now that the purchasing point has been moved to the Fesuogang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Li Xiaoyang no longer needs to do these things himself. But Huazhen Bank is still very busy, so Li Xiaoyang sent a few more people from the supply and marketing cooperative to take turns coming to the grocery store.
On duty".
When people came to help look after the shop, Huazhenxing was always embarrassed to leave the food alone, so he made an extra portion for lunch and dinner and brought it to the counter outside. As the vice president of Huanxiang Industrial and the director of the engineering project department, Li Xiaoyang was very involved in the work.
There are a lot of them, so you don’t have to run to the grocery store all the time.
But whenever he has free time, Li Xiaoyang will come here. Even if someone has been assigned to be on duty, he will come to take a look in person, basically rushing to eat. Isn’t the food in the supply and marketing cooperative’s canteen delicious? Isn’t it true?
It's not as delicious as Xiaohua's. Hua Zhenxing has been studying the knowledge of cooking with Manman these days. By the way, he explains and tutors the cultivation of Yangyuan.
The project engineering department is responsible for the projects within the Beisuo River Basin. The Beisuo River is now only in the sand table and does not exist on the actual map. Huazhenxing’s plan is to restore this historical river.
The rivers that passed through it were cultivated into 80,000 acres of modern farms.
Wang Fengshou is the director of the Second Project Engineering Department, which is responsible for projects in Fesoport's urban area, so Ke Mengchao asked him to take Locke to deal with the "superstructure" of the Beiwan District.
At present, Huanxiang Industrial has successfully completed the land acquisition. The 300 square kilometers of land were divided into seven pieces and purchased. The Fiso Port authorities are short of money. Even the salaries of municipal officials can hardly be paid. Some people actually gave
I came to take advantage of this person and completed the transaction quickly, completing all legal procedures.
The purchase of these lands, including various formalities, plus the upfront costs of establishing Huanxiang Industrial Headquarters, Fesuogang Supply and Marketing Cooperative, etc., cost a total of almost 10 million yuan. It has been almost a month since Huanxiang Industrial was established.
The largest single item of expenditure is the mining gold acquisition funds for Huazhen Bank, with 40 million meters of gold prepared.
This money is not counted on Huazhenxing personally, but is nominally the registered capital of Kelin Mining. The mining company has spent more than 30 million meters of gold, and the mineral gold stocks of various forces in Aiso Port have basically been emptied.
If you want to acquire it again, you can only wait for new output.
Huazhenxing calculated that to complete the task of refining pure gold of the same size as itself, it would require almost two tons of ore gold. There is still a shortfall, and it is estimated that it will not be filled until the end of the heavy rain season.
Hua Zhenxing doesn't have to worry, he still has to refine it slowly. The process of refining it into pure form is the process by which mining companies withdraw funds and make profits.
This business is a sure profit. Huazhenxing takes in gold at the price of six hundred meters per ounce, and can extract 70% pure gold. The price of pure gold is two thousand meters of gold per ounce, and
Still rising.
The cost of acquiring two tons of mined gold is 40 million meters of gold, and the final revenue can reach more than 93 million meters, with a net profit of more than 50 million meters of gold.
Of course, this business will continue in the future. The only limitation is the scale of the mined gold output. It is difficult to acquire so much mined gold at once. A while ago, it was equivalent to all the forces in Africa's Soso Port over the years.
The inventory was wiped out.
Huazhenxing kept the 15 million gold in Jindianxing's account and gave Locke 40% of the shares. Those were Jindianxing's shares, not Kelin Mining's shares.
Jindianxing is a subsidiary of Kelin Mining. It can be used as a sales channel in the future and can continue to accept pawned gold. It has signed relevant cooperation agreements with various financial institutions.
According to the requirements of Huazhenxing, there is a difference between the projects of the first and second departments of the project. The projects of the second department can accept the participation of other investors, but the projects of the first department can only be 100% controlled by "Feng Zibin".
This requirement is very unreasonable from a business perspective, but "Feng Zibin" insists on it.
The focus of the new alliance is not on fighting but on construction. At present, the entire Beiwan District has been captured, and further control will be left to Wang Fengshou, a Machiavellian, to finish the work. Huazhen Bank made an appointment with Chief Engineer Lei Yunjin to discuss the project.
Huanxiang Industrial currently has three projects, one large, two small, and needs help from the Dongguo Aid Project Engineering Department. The first small project is to build two apartment buildings at the western end of the Palm Manor. The second small project is to build a new apartment building on the northwest edge of the Kelin District.
neighborhood.
The residents in that area were cleared out, and all the buildings were demolished to the ground by blasting. Huazhenxing wanted to plan it carefully and turn it into a model unit for the entire Kelin District.
The location of this place is very important. It is the throat area for other forces from Port Africa to enter the Kelin area. It used to be very messy, but now it will be easier to bulldoze it. Hua Zhenxing plans to re-plan the roads here and build patrol barracks and daily training bases.
There are also checkpoints for entering and exiting the Kelin District, plus a police station and supply and marketing cooperative branch.
The big project is to put up a barbed wire fence in the planned Beisuo River Basin, not only the 300 square kilometers of the outer boundary line, but also the 80,000 acres of farmland divided into nine areas. According to Hua Zhenxing's idea, all of them will be equipped with Y-shaped barbed wires.
He had seen this kind of barbed wire at Meili International Airport. Many countries also use it as border barbed wire.
The main body of this kind of barbed wire mesh is a steel grille with columns, which is more than two and a half meters tall. The top bifurcation is Y-shaped when viewed from the side, and the center of the bifurcation is a spirally wound barbed wire ring.
There is a saying in Dongguo called "adding railings to the Yellow River", which is used to satirize those impractical and whimsical people. It would be great for Hua Zhenxing to really plan to surround the entire Beisuo River with such a high-standard barbed wire fence.
After finishing the meal together at noon, Li Xiaoyang sighed with contentment. He knew that Feng Zibin was actually Hua Zhenxing, but he really came here every day either to curry favor with the "big boss" or to get a meal.
Li Xiaoyang has never heard of Hua Zhenxing's dream, nor does he know that his dream is to create such a Huanxiang Country. But he absolutely supports Huanxiang Industrial's current plan. He never thought that someone would really do this, and that he had every hope of doing so.
OK, he is full of energy now!
After the meal, a group of four people rushed to the Dongguo Aid Project Engineering Department by car. Li Xiaoyang drove the car himself, with a bodyguard sitting in the passenger seat. Hua Zhenxing and Manman were in the back seat. Originally, Manman didn't need to come, and she didn't know that she would.
She couldn't understand Dongguo when she went to do something, but Hua Zhenxing didn't say anything about not letting her follow, so Manman got in the car naturally.
The Dongguo Aid Construction Project Department is located in the southeastern suburbs of Feso Port and on the north bank of the Feso River estuary. It was originally a deserted beach. The Engineering Department chose a higher-lying area to build dormitories and living areas.
, surrounded by a thin blue iron plate, is a relatively independent area where about 1,500 workers live.
There are two main construction projects they have recently undertaken. The Feso River Bridge has just been completed. Now the employees of Huanxiang Industrial are walking from the Kelin District to the headquarters Palm Manor via that bridge. There is also a heavy oil power plant project that has just started laying the foundation stone.
The current main project is to build a dedicated wharf for the factory area.
The heavy oil power plant project is also on the edge of Beiwan District, and happens to be adjacent to the newly purchased land by Huanxiang Industrial. The specific location is south of the planned Beisuo River estuary, adjacent to the International Terminal, which was originally an area of
