The battleship split the waves and advanced rapidly.
But Zhang Hao glared at a certain dragon.
"What are you looking at! I'll eat you again!" King Silver Horn said in a somewhat unconfident tone.
Zhang Hao sneered, "Coward! You will be on the deck from beginning to end of this battle. You are hibernating!"
"Oh... you also know that I have the habit of hibernating..." King Silver Horn's tail was a little knotted and swung back and forth in the air, a bit coquettish, but Zhang Hao's goosebumps fell all over the floor.
Zhang Hao snorted again, "You said that when you came to the battleship, besides eating and drinking, what else did you do?"
"sleep!"
Zhang Hao:......
One person and one dragon stared at each other for a long time. Zhang Hao pointed to the sea next to him and said, "Go to the sea and do some exercise. If you don't move for a long time, your body will get rusty."
"It's okay, it's okay. I often hibernate for several months and my body is not rusty."
Zhang Hao and the Silver Horn King confronted each other, and Zhang Hao's eyes became more and more dangerous.
Finally King Yinjiao gave in: "Zhang Hao, um... I am actually very timid. This sea is too dangerous. I have told you before, you can eat too much of me in one bite."
too much.
I can feel that there are dangerous deep-sea monsters following below the battleship. If I go into the sea, I will definitely die!"
Zhang Hao was actually trying to scare King Silver Horn because he didn't expect this guy to be so 'afraid of death'.
He asked Dugu Junjie to throw a few depth bombs and torpedoes into the deep sea. Unexpectedly, after the battleship passed by, a deep-sea behemoth actually appeared in the deep sea. This time, what appeared turned out to be a 'head'... a seahorse!
Zhang Hao felt that this seahorse was probably the one that was summoned before.
Zhang Hao turned to look at the Silver Horned King who was still coiled on the naval gun next to him. He chuckled and said, "It's a horse. Aren't you a dragon? How can you be afraid?"
"Then the size of the seahorse is three times that of mine!" King Silver Horn firmly objected.
But Zhang Hao looked at the seahorse that was a hundred meters high behind him, and a kind of crazy light flashed in his eyes. This seahorse may not be as long as the Silver Horn King, but its size and tonnage are not at the same level.
This seahorse is like a standing mountain.
However, compared to other deep-sea behemoths, this seahorse is still relatively small.
But before Zhang Hao could speak, Li Wei next to him spoke: "This seahorse seems to be a little strangely rational. Can we go fishing?"
Zhang Hao was about to say this, but after hearing this, he asked Dugu Junjie to try to attack and draw hatred to see if there was any way to hang the seahorse up and slowly consume him to death.
By the way, Zhang Hao also encouraged King Yinjiao to go to the sea occasionally.
However, this seahorse was indeed a bit strange. After following the battleship for a while, it completely disappeared and never appeared again.
…………
When the warship went there, it took more than forty days to find Fairy Mountain. But when it returned, it only took 18 days to reach Black Scale Island.
Yes, Black Scale Island. When we returned, there was still a certain deviation in the route. But it was within the acceptable range.
In this era where there is no navigation, no computer, and no accurate globe, and we can only rely on visual inspection and manual calculation, Zhao Dahe's ability to bring the fleet back to Black Scale Island is already a very remarkable ability!
On the vast sea, the only reference is the sky, the rising and setting of the sun, the elevation of the stars, plus the compass. The fleet first encountered the Pearl Fleet of the Kingdom of Qixia near the Black Scale Island. The Pearl Fleet had just returned from the Tuotu Continent.
Then the fleet turned around and returned to Changshan Port.
Before the fleet returned, Zhang Hao had already sent someone to notify this place. Therefore, when the fleet docked, the port was already crowded with people.
From afar, Zhang Hao saw Zhou Xueyao, her parents and relatives standing high on the port.
Of course, there are also senior executives of Dayang Group, as well as Yin Hong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ocean Development, etc.
The battleship slowly docked, and Zhang Hao, who was far away, asked Chen Yansong to act as a microphone and shouted: "During this 63-day voyage, not a single soldier of Dayang Group died! Only dozens of people were slightly injured!"
The atmosphere in the port instantly became relaxed.
Then, Chen Yansong took a deep breath and raised his voice again: "Also, we found Xuanwu Mountain!
The specific situation will be published by Dayang Group in tomorrow's "Dayang Daily". Of course, you can also look for the sailors and cultivators following the fleet to ask.
All sailors in the Ocean Group have three days off, plus today counts as four days.
Now, first send the battleship to the dock for inspection, and everyone can have a rest.
The preliminary plan is that we will go to sea again in ten days!"
The warships first unloaded their cargo. This time, the seven warships were loaded with chopped seaweed. These mutated seaweeds are all good things, and these things, according to the agreement, all belong to the Ocean Group. However, for the many masters who took action, the Ocean Group also
Not being stingy, Zhang Hao allows everyone to choose one or two.
There are more than 20,000 tons of seaweed on the seven battleships! More than 20,000 tons of god-level seaweed material! Many masters only took away about ten tons, which is insignificant.
Of course, there are several prisoners besides Haiwei. After careful consideration, Zhang Hao is ready to make these prisoners public so that everyone can come and interrogate them! The main reason is that Dayang Group cannot afford to eat alone.
The next time you explore Xuanwu Mountain, it will be a sensation in the entire known world. And this event is so big that you will easily die if you eat alone.
After unloading the seaweed, the warship started up again, this time heading to the dock. This time the warship was attacked by crazy monsters from the deep sea and mutated seaweed, and needed to be inspected and even reinforced to prepare for the next voyage.
Zhang Hao came to the shore, first informed his parents and relatives that he was safe, and then slowly walked towards Zhou Xueyao.
There was joy and worry in Zhou Xueyao's eyes.
When Zhang Hao approached, Zhou Xueyao asked softly: 'In ten days, will you go to sea again?'
Zhang Hao shook his head gently, "I will not go to sea for any future exploration of the fairy mountains."
As he said that, he gently took Zhou Xueyao's hand, and regardless of the envious and jealous eyes around him, he gently hugged Zhou Xueyao's waist, "I'll stay with you."
Zhou Xueyao lowered her head, showing a moment of tenderness and sweetness. But before Zhang Hao could appreciate it, Zhou Xueyao suddenly pushed Zhang Hao away, "Everyone is watching."
Zhang Hao laughed and said softly: "Let them be envious!"
"Go." Zhou Xueyao glared at Zhang Hao, turned around and flew away gracefully.
Zhang Hao watched Zhou Xueyao leave, then said hello to the others, and finally headed to Changshan City with many gods.
The captives were placed in a luxurious "Blue Ocean Hotel" in Changshan City. Zhang Hao said: These captives belong to this voyage, and they are the common wealth of all the gods, and of course they belong to the Ocean Group.
If the rest of the people want to know the details from the prisoners, they have to discuss it with everyone.
For the time being, Li Wei, Lan Yunbo, and He Xingyuan were elected as representatives.
The three of them were very excited: they represented hundreds of gods, and they would definitely have to compete with several holy places in the future.
Zhang Hao finished handling the matter, shook his head, and left.
When he returned to Dayang Group, Chen Yansong said with some reluctance: "Obviously most of the credit is ours, but we have to make it public!"
Zhang Hao smiled, "This time the matter is too big, we can't bear it ourselves, and we don't have the ability to bear it.
The best way now is to gather everyone to attack together, and then get our own benefits and ensure our safety. In short, we will not suffer any loss.
And the Holy Mountain is just our first goal. Our goal is the rest of the Fairy Mountains and the unknown continent!" Only there will be greater profits!
"But the items in the fairy mountain are of high level!"
The corner of Zhang Hao's mouth twitched, and I changed the subject. Why do you want to bring it back again? Helpless, Zhang Hao could only sigh: "We are still too weak! We must continue to develop, and we must accelerate our development!"
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Hao said: "The next goal is to cultivate a thousand gods in the divine transformation stage! And we must have at least ten reliable masters in the late stages of divine transformation to ensure the real interests of Dayang Group.
Only then can we be qualified to take the path of true monopoly!
But now... we still need to take the path of shared development.
Through shared development, we can have more friends, a broader foundation, and a good reputation and market.
In fact, if we really put it into perspective, the road to shared development is well on its way and the prospects are equally good.”
"But the difficulty is that this road is not good."
Zhang Hao: "..."
Don't speak so directly, you'll get beaten easily~
After a pause, Zhang Hao changed the topic again: "The outside world should be in a stir now, and everyone is paying attention to Xianshan. This is a good moment under the lights. Many things in Dayang Group can take the opportunity to explode."
In the next few days, the whole world was in shock.
The entire Fertile Continent had not yet come out of the shadow of the war when it received such explosive news.
The sensation caused by this news is unimaginable. In the Divine Stage, Yuanying Stage, and even countless ordinary people learned the detailed information through newspapers.
A new world, a new fairy mountain, a new way of practice... A brand new world is revealed in front of everyone.
At the same time, Dayang Group took the opportunity to promote a round-Earth theory.
Everyone's attention immediately shifted from the war and the conflict between the two holy places, and focused on Ninghe County, the country of Qixia.
In just a few days, more than 500 people in the state of transformation poured into Ninghe County, and everyone interrogated those hapless prisoners together.
These prisoners wanted to resist at first. However, in the face of more than 500 crazy transformation stages, their resistance was so ridiculous. Within three days, all the information was dug out.
Of course, all this information has been made public. With so many people working together, it is impossible to keep it secret, let alone Dayang Group’s intention to disclose all the information.
The gods-incarnation stagers from all over the world finally almost completely dismantled these unlucky prisoners, studying their cultivation abilities, their spirits and souls.
After Zhang Hao learned about this situation, he could only sigh. In the face of interests, especially in the face of overwhelming interests, it is difficult for even a righteous cultivator to remain rational! This world has always been a bustling place
All for profit'!
During this period, Hong Yunzi from the Xuanzhen Sect also came to see Zhang Hao, but he did not receive any special care.
Regarding Dayang Group's success, Dayang Group's move to disclose all information, etc., Hong Yunzi had a very complicated mood: he was happy, but also a little emotional and helpless.
I don’t know since when, the Dayang Group and the Xuanzhen Sect have become strangers to each other.
In the beginning, the relationship between Dayang Group and Xuanzhen Sect was quite good.
Why has it developed to what it is today?
Today, Hong Yunzi came to Dayang Group mainly for two things: the exploration of Jiuxian Mountain, and the fleet.
On the exploration of Jiuxian Mountain, Zhang Hao nodded. However, the privileges expected by the Xuanzhen Sect were not available. Zhang Hao only allowed the people of the Xuanzhen Sect to follow the boat, and that was all.
There is also the fleet. Since the last time the Xiaoyao Sect attacked the Weihai Fleet, the Xuanzhen Sect has been trying to find ways to restore the fleet. The ocean profitability of a steel fleet is beyond the ordinary.
Especially now that a new continent seems to have been discovered!
An unimaginable opportunity appeared in front of Xuanzhen Sect!!
However, Xuanzhen Sect...has no money!!!
The previous efforts to build the fleet had not yet been fully repaid, and another large-scale war broke out, and all the battleships were destroyed. So now the Xuanzhen Sect is stretched thin, and even the promised war rewards and other war rewards cannot be fully realized. It owes the Dayang Group arms expenses.
Wait, there is still 50% that cannot be paid.
This time Hong Yunzi came to Dayang Group and wanted to talk about this matter: getting a loan from Luzhou Bank to buy a warship.
But Zhang Hao put forward a condition: Loans are okay, but banknotes need to be promoted within the entire Xuanzhen Sect's influence.
After all, Hong Yunzi had lived here in Dayang Group for a long time, and he could vaguely feel that Zhang Hao's conditions were... unusual. He couldn't make up his mind, so he could only return to Xuanzhen Sect for the time being.
Hong Yunzi's arrival and departure did not cause much disturbance in the current Qixia Kingdom, because at this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Xuanwu Mountain and the possible new continent.
Under such circumstances, not many people even paid attention to what happened to Dayang Group recently.
In the past few days, Zhang Hao took advantage of the dark opportunity to conduct a negotiation with King Silver Horn. King Silver Horn and the thousands of miles of sea area it affected were officially merged into Dayang Group and became directly controlled by Dayang Group.
sea area.
Therefore, Dayang Group immediately made new changes: expanding docks and ports, and increasing the area of underwater seaweed cultivation, the kind of seaweed that can produce gum.
Also, more than 20,000 tons of seaweed obtained by Dayang Group from the open sea were quietly delivered to Xinglintang.
Zhou Shuhai, Fu Yun, Sword and Sword Heroes, and others studied together, and finally determined that these seaweeds were refined into a small amount of 'Blue Blood Pill' and a large amount of 'Dragon Tiger Pill'.
The Blue Blood Pill is a pill used during the transformation stage to replenish true energy, consolidate the foundation, and promote practice;
Dragon Tiger Pill is used in the Nascent Soul stage.
After classification and calculation, a small amount of seaweed essence was refined into the Blue Blood Pill, which can be refined into about 2 tons, or about 10,000 pills. The density of the pill in the transformation stage is very high, and one Blue Blood Pill weighs almost 200 grams.
As for the refined Dragon Tiger Pills, it is estimated that as many as two hundred tons can be refined! Preliminary calculations suggest that at least two million pills will be needed.
Zhou Shuhai was stunned for a long time after getting such a crazy result. The old man had been working on elixirs all his life, but the most common problem in the first half of his life was not enough medicinal materials.
Things are getting better now, and medicinal materials are piled up like mountains.
Zhou Shuhai felt a little painful, "Our current ammunition production line can only refine elixirs at the golden elixir level. The elixirs in the transformation to gods stage and Yuanying stage have to be refined by hand. Especially the elixirs in the transformation to gods stage, I also
I don’t have much experience!”
"That's why we need to study it!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, "Uncle, I am going to introduce the core technology of Dayang Group's fairy gas production technology into the alchemy production line. For example, high temperature, high pressure, and electromagnetic technology!"
"So good?" Zhou Shuhai looked at Zhang Hao with a slightly wary look. Zhou Shuhai felt that Zhang Hao was just a greedy little fox, and now this little fox has gradually revealed its tail.
You Zhang Hao actually asked for technology as a gift? I don’t believe it!
Sure enough, I heard Zhang Hao say: "This, it is Dayang Group's investment in Xinglintang with technology, how about it?"
Zhou Shuhai did not refuse. You must know that Daxinglintang also owns 6.16% of the shares of Dayang Group. An environment of powerful alliances has been initially revealed.
Zhou Shuhai thought for a while and asked: "How many shares do you want to hold?"
Zhang Hao's face turned serious, "Uncle, what is called business negotiation? Today, I just want to push the envelope! Uncle, how much do you think the technology of creating fairy spirit should be worth?"
Zhou Shuhai sat down and spoke after a while: "Boy, I admit that you are a genius in business. The current Dayang Group has the foundation to become a holy place.
However, have you noticed that the current Dayang Group exudes a disturbing aura!"
As he spoke, Zhou Shuhai looked directly into Zhang Hao's eyes, "Zhang Hao, what on earth are you...doing!"
Zhang Hao also calmed down when he saw Zhou Shuhai like this.
The surrounding masters of transformation, as well as the core Nascent Soul stage of Dayang Group and Xinglin Hall, all looked at Zhang Hao quietly. Among everyone present, Zhang Hao had the lowest cultivation level. However, Zhang Hao was the absolute core.
After a while, Zhang Hao slowly stood up and stood in front of the window looking at the bright starry sky: "Uncle, I want to... go to the sky and see! I want to touch the starry sky! I want to go to the edge of the world and see, I want to see
Where the sun rises, I want to see the world where the moon sets."
With that said, Zhang Hao turned to look at everyone, "I just want to see what kind of world we live in.
I think that as a life, an intelligent life, we should pursue the truth.
Cultivation is not just practice, but also...exploration!"
"You may think that Dayang Group exudes a disturbing atmosphere. But I want to say: What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of knowing the truth about the world?"
Zhou Shuhai frowned slightly: "I don't object to your desire to explore the truth of the world, but I somewhat disagree with what Dayang Group is doing now.
I have carefully analyzed this battle between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect. The shadow of the Dayang Group can be seen everywhere.
The expansion of Qixia Kingdom also has the shadow of Dayang Group behind it.
Even...Liu Xinyu has your shadow on her body!!!"
Zhang Hao's eyes flickered and sure enough, the crowd's eyes were sharp.
However, Zhang Hao was very thick-skinned and said without changing his expression: "Uncle, if you want to reach the sky, you must first have steps to the sky. And if you want to build the steps to the sky, you need a foothold and manpower!
It's not that I want to do something, but that there are things I have to do.
Cultivation in the past was a personal matter.
And future cultivation is a collective matter.
I want to explore the secrets of this world, but the power of one person is too weak. I need to gather the wisdom of countless people, and I need countless like-minded people to work together!
I don't know what the road ahead is, but I will go on firmly.
This time, Dayang Group's investment in Xinglintang is not to seize Xinglintang's assets. But... I want to give you a hand. Your progress... is too slow!
Dayang Group's next goal is to achieve 1,000 divine transformation stages and 100,000 Nascent Soul stages. We need massive resources.
And the current Xinglin Hall...is not qualified enough to participate in this plan!"
Zhou Shuhai looked at Zhang Hao in shock.
Several core personnel at Xinglintang also looked at the people from Dayang Group in shock.
On the other hand, the people of Dayang Group were a little shocked at first, shocked by Zhang Hao's ambition; but at this time, they held their heads high.
After a while, Zhou Shuhai said leisurely: "I originally prepared Xinglin Hall, just to win a glimmer of hope for the country of Qixia and our Western countries. Of course, I also have some personal hobbies and dreams.
But when it comes to exploring this world... I really haven’t thought about it.
Getting old...
The waves behind the river rush against the waves in front..."
"Qianlang died on the beach!" Zhang Hao said seriously.
Zhou Shuhai: "..."
Zhang Hao continued: "The wheel of history will not stop, but will get faster and faster. Those who cannot keep up with the trend of historical development can only be crushed by the general trend of history!"
But now, industry and commerce are the general trend of history and the new direction of development."
After a pause, Zhang Hao said again: "Uncle, I really want to help Xinglintang. Otherwise, with the talents currently collected by Dayang Group, we are fully capable of building Danyao Group ourselves."
Zhang Hao reached out to Zhou Shuhai: "Uncle, people can have no hope, but they can't have no dreams. I hope that by my side, by our side, there will be countless like-minded comrades, exploring the unknown world side by side.
No matter what the future holds, we will keep moving forward!”
Zhou Shuhai hesitated, reached halfway, and suddenly asked: "As for the shares, tell me the truth! Little guy, you are right. But you also said that in business, 60% is too high, at most 20%
!
Although your Dayang Group has a lot of talents, the current Dayang Group is already bloated enough and will not be able to expand in a short time! Moreover, Xinglintang has the reputation, market, etc. that you do not have!"
Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Shuhai: Old fox!
Zhou Shuhai looked at Zhang Hao: Little fox!
After a long confrontation, Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and said: "One price, 35% of the shares!"
"Okay, deal!"
The two shook hands. But Zhou Shuhai exerted a little force, and Zhang Hao's face turned red instantly!
Stingy old fox!
The next day, "Dayang Daily" published shocking news: Dayang Group and Xinglintang joined forces. Dayang Group invested in Xinglintang and obtained 35% of Xinglintang's shares!
