For large-scale transactions that are mainly barter, few people in the Chamber of Commerce have seen so much cash, even if it is just a number on the book. But no one questions whether the money really exists or whether it is
Are there any errors in the amounts? Naturally, there are trustworthy accounting talents within the chamber of commerce who can check these things.
Although no one doubted the numbers. However, how could the group of people who were looking for trouble easily let go of Ruan Wenyue, who had become the focus of everyone's eyes. An old voice cut through the crowd and said sadly: "Ah Yue, if I say by
It's not appropriate for you to be in charge of car manufacturing. Are you willing to hand it over?"
The annual meeting venue, which was filled with constant whispers, suddenly fell silent.
The speaker is Ruan Yongzhi. In terms of seniority, Ruan Wenyue should be called his uncle. The branch he belongs to is also an alternative in the chamber of commerce. It does not grow food, but is responsible for building and maintaining the family's artifact handed down from the first generation of the family -
—Rifles. This work, of course, also includes making ammunition and storing it.
This branch can be said to be the most important branch in the chamber of commerce, and also possesses the most powerful force. The direct bloodline of the royal family that established the kingdom in the past also comes from their family. As the most prominent branch of the branch, they are also
When the country was destroyed, he was the most seriously injured.
With such identities and backgrounds, the former family members certainly dreamed of taking charge of the entire family again, or even founding a country again, and wearing that sacred crown. Unfortunately, their backgrounds and ambitions are known to everyone; the family
Others in the family were also wary of such ambitions. The reason behind the death of three generations of the kingdom in the past was indispensable to the indifference of other branch families.
If you don’t have enough food, you don’t have more manpower, you can’t change the world even if you have powerful weapons. Moreover, the secret of the rifle was spread as early as the country’s subjugation. Other branches did not build it themselves, but it was because of the guns they made.
, the quality is far inferior to that made by this branch, and the dangers of bomb explosions, dumb bombs, etc. are doubled.
Instead of thinking about it yourself, it is better to use food to exchange for necessary weapons. Anyway, as long as the rifle itself is well preserved and maintained, its usable life and wear and tear are longer than ordinary cold weapons. You can use food to exchange for a few rifles a year.
, over such a long period of time, each branch family has accumulated a lot of wealth.
As for ammunition, it has a shelf life, and its production is simpler than making a rifle. Without the help of Ruan Yongzhi's branch, others would not be caught blind. In short, each branch is not afraid of being caught.
The weapons and ammunition are stuck. Unless we enter a high-intensity war today, all our wealth will be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Ruan Yongzhi, of course, is well aware of the thoughts of other branch families. Therefore, even though he has the strongest strength, his hands are tied and he does not dare to irritate others too much. The more important reason is that if everyone breaks up with each other,
, turned over the table directly. Based on the weapons that other branch families have accumulated over the years, Ruan Yongzhi’s branch really has no confidence in conquering the others.
In this kind of balance of being afraid of both sides, Ruan Yongzhi, the remnant of the royal family, has survived in the Jialong Chamber of Commerce. Also because each other is on guard against the other, of course, there is not much thought on research and development. All day long.
Just think about the struggle.
According to the rules of family division of labor, the mines in the hands of Ruan Wenyue should have been divided up with Ruan Yongzhi. However, these royal families later disliked the low output value of the mines and inconvenient transportation. In addition, in order to support enough miners
, I had to shoulder a greater burden, so I simply gave it up.
In fact, other branches did not want to give Ruan Yongzhi's branch too much. So it was logical to find an unlucky guy to take over the mess, and Ruan Wenyue's branch was also separated.
Initially, in order to establish an automobile manufacturing and R&D center, Lin contacted the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce through Nguyen Thi Huy’s letter of introduction. Nguyen Thi Huy’s grandfather, Nguyen Vinh Minh, initially handed this opportunity to Nguyen Vinh Chi.
The reason why this old man did this was because he didn't think that this "car" thing could create any big waves. Instead, it was a good way to weaken Ruan Yongzhi's power as a branch of the family.
The same idea was also in Ruan Yongzhi's calculations. He was not optimistic about the future of "cars" and only thought that this business was used by other people in the family to hold him back. So he refused without hesitation.
Things should have ended like this, and the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce would have missed out on the automobile industry. However, according to the information exchange regulations within the chamber of commerce, as long as the information is not restricted, a copy will be sent to the relevant personnel. So Nguyen Van Viet, who runs a metal mine, knew
Yes, and willing to take a gamble.
He followed the channels of the Chamber of Commerce and found the magician in the holy city of Estali. Then the rest happened.
It was with this background that the elder in the family spoke up, but Ruan Wenyue said with a wry smile: "Uncle, I remember that you didn't want this business at the beginning, so I picked it up. At that time, no one objected, let alone
People want to rob. If you say something like this today, wouldn't it be even more inappropriate?"
"Huh, no one knows what the prospects of that business are before you do it. Now that you have proven that this business is indeed feasible, for the best interests of the family, don't you think it should be handed over to someone who is better at it?
Well. In the field of making things, you know nothing! You are just a digger."
Faced with this old and unceremonious ridicule, Ruan Wenyue suppressed his brother who was obviously very old but still impulsive and asked: "Okay, even if I am willing to hand over this business. Uncle, you
How do you plan to take over?"
"No need to say more, withdraw all the craftsmen and magicians, we can build the car ourselves. Why should we cooperate with a magician from the countryside?" Ruan Yongzhi said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
But Ruan Wenyue shook his head and said: "If this is my uncle's plan, then I can only say that I cannot hand over this business to you."
"You brat, do you think you're qualified to bargain in front of me? I'm telling you today just to give you a chance to step down. Otherwise, it depends on the craftsmen or magicians in your hands, what good things they can make. Let's talk about guns.
Take care of it, let alone whether you can see what you little bastards have built, who of you would dare to put it on a gun and shoot a few rounds. If it doesn’t explode, I will lose to you."
The old man's words were unpleasant, even a bit slanderous. The other thoughtful people who were listening were certainly displeased, but Ruan Wenyue, who was pointed at and scolded, did not dare to show any anger as in the past. But this time he did not endure it silently.
, but said: "Uncle, I don't mean any disrespect to you, and of course I don't want to bargain. I'm just telling a fact. If we do what you said, we will put the car center inside, which belongs to our craftsmen and
If the magician pulls them back, they won't be able to build any cars."
"What do you mean? Make it clear." Although Ruan Yongzhi was dissatisfied, he was not vague on the key points and asked immediately.
"It's just like the literal meaning. In the automobile center of the Holy City, there are not only our people, but also the people of an imperial grand duke. That group of people, together with our people, are using the system designed by the magician.
, researched and manufactured cars one after another. In other words, if our people are brought back, the most they can do is half the car parts. And without the magician's system, the yield rate will probably be disastrous.
