Well-known NPCs will not be easily impressed by high-ranking officials and generous salaries, but Chen Hao's timing was too good. He chose to give up his official position when Wang Yaqiao was getting married. After he announced the letter of appointment, Wang Yaqiao had no reaction, and his relatives and friends began to make noises.
Said: "Sure enough, it is a double happiness. Jiuguang is appointed as the fourth-rank official of the imperial court. This is a glorious achievement for the ancestors!"
"Blessed by our ancestors, after Jiuguang takes office, the clan will immediately offer sacrifices to the ancestral temple, and some ancestral tombs should also be repaired."
"Jiu Guang is a military attache in the imperial court, so he must have some of his own. My youngest son is seventeen years old this year, so he can help him out."
"My little dog is also sixteen. You must take Jiuguang with you when you leave..."
When Wang Yaqiao heard the comments from his relatives, he said with an embarrassed expression: "Sir, my relatives and friends were excited when they heard that you appointed me to the official position. I hope you don't mind."
How could Chen Hao mind that Wang Yaqiao's relatives and friends were all talking about sending their children to follow Wang Yaqiao, which was simply doing him a big favor! Even if Wang Yaqiao was not willing to work for the court, he could not bear to let his relatives and friends down? Chen Hao
Following the flow of the situation, he said: "Jiuguang, when you go out, you can always rely on your relatives and friends. Every general has some personal soldiers, so this is nothing."
After Chen Hao finished speaking, he loudly said to Wang Yaqiao's relatives in the yard: "I have promised you on behalf of Jiuguang. Jiuguang will soon be the general who leads the troops to fight. He will have thousands of troops under his command, and as many as tens of thousands of troops. There must be a personal army."
Team. All disciples between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five can follow Jiu Guang to Nanyang. If they make meritorious deeds, I will also support them."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Wang Yaqiao's relatives thanked him happily. With Wang Yaqiao as a high-ranking official, and a large number of his children with official status, the Wang family will soon become prosperous.
At this point, Wang Yaqiao has been completely kidnapped. Whether he wants it or not, he has no choice. He has to hand over his hand and say: "Thank you for the promotion. I am willing to serve as an official in the court, but I just got married today and it will take some time before I can take office."
."
Wang Tieqiao expressed his willingness to hold a court official position instead of serving Chen Hao, which means that he and Chen Hao only have a superior-subordinate relationship and do not form an employment relationship. However, Chen Hao is not anxious at all. After Wang Tieqiao went to Nanyang to take up a post, all his subordinates were loyal to him.
Man, if Wang Yaqiao wants to make some achievements after a long time, he can only choose to join him like other NPCs.
In the end, everyone was happy. Relatives, friends and neighbors rushed to recommend their children to Wang Yaqiao. Some children even reported a false age when they were less than 16 years old. After Chen Hao achieved his goal, he sat in the chief chair with a smile and accompanied him.
Several elderly members of the Wang family were having a drink, and everyone was happy.
Those players who wanted to take advantage of Wang Yaqiao were miserable. Many people had been preparing for Wang Yaqiao for a long time, but they were easily defeated by him. The comparison between people is very annoying. They don't have the reputation of Chen Hao in the game, and they don't dare to
If you openly seduce someone with a fourth-grade official position, you can only watch the NPC you want to win over defect to others.
Grandet squinted his eyes. There was no emotion or anger on his face. He just looked at Chen Hao's table with a calm expression. This time his gift was basically in vain, but he was not someone who gave up easily. Through normal
It is no longer possible to compete with Chen Baxian and Wang Yaqiao. You should try other means.
The players who wanted to win over Wang Yaqiao left one after another. In the end, only Chen Hao and Grandet were left. Chen Hao pretended not to recognize Grandet and did not even glance at his table. After drinking a few glasses of wine,
Chen Hao told Wang Yaqiao some things and then left. Grandet followed him out of the Wang family courtyard.
"Brother Chen Baxian, congratulations on your success in subduing Wang Yaqiao, a top spy NPC." Grandet stepped forward to say hello in a graceful manner.
Chen Hao smiled lightly and said: "How can a well-known NPC be so easy to conquer? Wang Yaqiao is working for the imperial court now and has not accepted my employment. I don't know how long it will take to successfully hire him! What do you call this big brother?"
Grandet said quickly: "My name is Grandet. I have been developing in Shanghai. I have something to discuss with Brother Chen this time."
Chen Hao also wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Grandet's gourd. If he had the chance, he would not mind cheating Grandet once, so he asked with great interest: "Brother Ge, what do you want to teach me?"
Grandet said sincerely: "To be honest, I am looking for Brother Chen mainly because of Wang Yaqiao. Wang Yaqiao is a spy-type NPC, but he will not play much role under Brother Chen in the short term. My foundation is in Shanghai. If I can
With Wang Tieqiao's help, the development will be very smooth, so I hope that Brother Chen can give up his love and create opportunities for me to conquer Wang Tieqiao. Of course, I will not let you, Brother Chen, suffer."
Shanghai in modern times had certain special characteristics. Due to the existence of the concession, the great powers did not want to control the urban area of Shanghai, so no warlords really controlled the beach. The most powerful people in Shanghai were the tycoons, that is, the gangster leaders. Such people had great influence on the great powers.
Interests cannot pose a threat. On the contrary, they can do things for the great powers. Many people have the support of the great powers behind them.
Therefore, although Shanghai is a prosperous city, no player in the game foolishly wants to establish a base in Shanghai and develop step by step. Players who choose to operate in Shanghai have chosen the rogue route to participate in the struggle for hegemony on the beach, and Grandet is one of them.
Outstanding.
Historically, Wang Tieqiao made his fortune in Shanghai, and he was able to overpower Zhang Xiaolin. Tycoons like Du Yuesheng could not hold their heads high. Players who developed in Shanghai would be like a duck to water with his help. Chen Hao could not give up on Wang Tieqiao. In the plan he made, Wang Tieqiao was
It is impossible for him to give up Wang Yaqiao to Grandet for a very important part. But because he was tricked by Grandet in his memory, he doesn't mind pretending to be a coward with Grandet to see if he can make Grandet suffer a big blow.
deficit.
Chen Hao showed displeasure on his face and said: "Brother Ge is so unkind. Who doesn't know that Wang Yaqiao is a top spy NPC? How can he be useless under my subordinates?"
Grandet smiled apologetically and said: "I'm not saying that Wang Tieqiao is useless, but that he can play a greater role by following me in Shanghai. If I exchange half of the machinery and equipment of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration for Wang Tieqiao, what do brothers Chen think?"
Chen Hao suspected that he had heard wrongly. Grandet was actually willing to trade half of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau's machines for Wang Yaqiao. What kind of medicine was he selling in his gourd?
Jiangnan General Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, referred to as Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau or Jiangnan General Manufacturing Bureau, also known as Shanghai Machinery Bureau, was a military production organization established during the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty. It was the most important military factory in China in the late Qing Dynasty and was the largest scale establishment of the Westernization faction of the Qing government.
The largest modern military enterprise, it was also the early workshop of Jiangnan Machinery Manufacturing Administration and one of the earliest new factories in modern times. It was the predecessor of Jiangnan Shipyard.
In 1876, China's first ironclad warship "Golden Ou" was born in the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau. In the six years from 1905 to 1911, the manufacturing bureau built 136 ships. In 1918, it built 4 10,000-ton ships for the Americans, which was the first in China's history.
It is the largest ship ever built and the largest shipbuilding contract China has ever signed.
Chen Hao did several large-scale tasks before getting hundreds of shipbuilding technicians from the Russians, and they were still of a relatively poor type. Although the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration failed to build advanced warships, it did have a large number of technical talents, and
The accumulation of shipbuilding technology is also a very valuable asset. If he can cooperate with Grandet to win the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration, it will be very tempting for him.
Grandet is a child of a top aristocratic family. When other children of aristocratic families are stirring up trouble in various provinces, he certainly cannot remain unknown. His goal is to control Shanghai in another way, and then gradually penetrate into the surrounding areas secretly. In the early stage of the game, all his energy
Almost all of it was spent on the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration. He wanted to take over this large arsenal.
Grandet had been preparing for many years. In Chen Hao's memory, he only successfully captured the Jiangnan Machinery Bureau in 1909, but failed to capture the shipyard that was renamed Jiangnan Shipyard in 1905. Grandet took the tycoon route, and the shipyard came to him.
It doesn't mean much. What he wants is the manufacturing machines from Jiangnan Machinery Bureau.
Chen Hao is not only interested in Jiangnan Shipyard, he is also very concerned about the ordnance machinery of the Manufacturing Bureau, because he wants to build an arsenal in Guizhou. Cam Ranh Bay is an important base for him. There is already an arsenal, and there are many arsenals.
After preparing to shift his focus to the southwest, Chen Hao wanted to build an arsenal in the southwest. After all, it was not convenient to transport weapons and ammunition from Nanyang to the southwest for a long time.
Cam Ranh Bay has enough military talents, but it lacks machines, and Chen Hao cannot buy them even if he has money. He mainly relies on Silva to purchase supplies, but Silva is in the arms business, and the most important thing is guns and ammunition.
If Chen Hao purchases a large number of machines and can produce continuously in the future, how can Silva's business continue?
When Chen Hao asked Silva to help purchase Krupp artillery technology, Silva was a little unhappy. He reluctantly agreed for the sake of huge profits. If Chen Hao asked him to purchase machines for making bullets, the cooperation between the two parties would be almost complete.
It couldn't be done, so he never proposed it to Silva.
It is unrealistic to find other foreign players to buy machines. Players who have the means to obtain military machines are mostly arms dealers. Of course, they are willing to sell eggs in a steady stream, but are not willing to sell egg-laying hens to customers. Foreign NPCs will also sell machines.
, but they were all sold to the Qing Dynasty in the name of the country, so players had no way to purchase them.
Jiangnan General Manufacturing Bureau has a large number of military machinery. Grandet generously took out half of it, which was beyond Chen Hao's expectation. He tentatively said: "Jiangnan General Manufacturing Bureau belongs to the imperial court. Is Ge Dage confident that he can capture it?"
Grandet waved his hand and said: "Whether we can defeat him or not is my business. Brother Chen should answer first whether he is willing to let me recruit Wang Yaqiao!" (To be continued...)
