This meeting to carve up the world was discussed until late at night, and everyone basically reached an agreement. They even made preliminary agreements on the scope of their respective colonial areas.
The colonies currently divided are mainly those of the Kunlun Continent. After the Kunlun Continent, there is the Morning Earth Continent in the east.
As long as the Kunlun Continent and the Morning Earth Continent are removed, the remaining continents will not have much ability to resist. Then, everyone's unfinished war can continue.
However, the previous "civil war" cannot actually be regarded as a waste. After a civil war, many holy places in the West matured rapidly, and everyone has fully grasped the essence of war in the new era.
Although the losses were heavy and even the Lieyan Snow Mountain Sect was destroyed, it also provided a vivid learning lesson to all the holy places.
This is a preview of future war.
But after the meeting was dismissed, Zhang Hao led people from Dayang Group and people from Qixia Country to hold another small meeting.
At the meeting, Zhang Hao looked stern: "Everyone, I know some people don't quite understand today's decision. Although we have communicated before, I still want to emphasize it again today.
The Ocean Group will no longer interfere with colonial rule, and we will sell the colonies on the Candle Dragon Continent to other holy lands."
Zhao Duo, the Prime Minister of Qixia Country, spoke, "Mr. Zhang, I still don't quite understand. The colonial rule is so profitable, why should we give up?
Regarding the population issue, Qixia Country does not have this concern.
Also, the rule of the Kingdom of Qixia over the previous countries has basically been stabilized, and it is not as stated at today's meeting. We gave up an opportunity!"
Zhang Hao looked at Zhao Duo and shook his head slightly, "Prime Minister Zhao, do you think I will trick the Kingdom of Qixia?"
"This..." Zhao Duo's tone immediately softened, "I just feel... I don't understand something."
Zhang Hao nodded, looked at the people around him, including the personnel of Dayang Group, and continued in a tepid tone: "Before explaining this issue, I want to ask everyone: If I suppress you forcefully now, I will let you provide labor for free.
, and has no dignity, and cannot even protect his wife and children, are you willing?"
After a short pause, Zhang Hao himself explained: "I don't want to! No one wants to! At this time, as long as there is a little guidance, a roar from the soul can burst out. Colonial rule is a real chestnut from the fire.
The benefits you get now will have to be paid for in the future!”
"Then if you get benefits, retreat!" Zhao Duo asked.
Zhang Hao laughed and said: "At that time, if you were willing to retreat, your subordinates might not. Not everyone can learn from Dayang Group and auction the colony at its peak. By the way, there is no auction yet, but it has already
Start preparing."
Zhao Duo still asked: "If there is no colony, we will lose a lot of sources of wealth. Then we will be pulled away by other holy places!"
"Are our interests in the colonies?" Zhang Hao looked at Zhao Duo with stern eyes.
As the president of Dayang Group, the Minister of Marine Development of the Kingdom of Qixia, and even the invisible prince of the Kingdom of Qixia, not to mention the ability to be half a Dharma minister, Zhang Hao's momentum instantly made Zhao Duo's eyes dodge.
.
Zhang Hao glanced at Zhao Duo and towards the management of Dayang Group, "Everyone, tell me, where are the interests of Dayang Group?"
Some people bowed their heads, while others looked sideways.
Zhang Hao didn't say anything and started calling the names. However, he didn't start the roll call from General Manager Bai Yutang, but from the last person.
One, another, and another.
Some of them were silent, some talked about business, some talked about advanced cultivation methods, some talked about finance and banking, etc. There were all kinds of things, but none of them satisfied Zhang Hao.
Gradually, the senior management of Dayang Group was named, reaching the level of department manager.
For a moment, Bai Yutang, Bai Ye, Xie Hongsheng, Mei Qianyun, Fu Yun, Murong Shan and others looked tense.
But Zhang Hao did not light the whip. The whip did not have to be lowered to complete the whipping. For some senior officials, such a tense atmosphere was enough.
Zhang Hao turned around and wrote two big words on the drawing board behind him: Technology!
Turning his head, Zhang Hao's tone became a little harsh: "Looking at our development over the years, whether it is Dayang Group or Qixia Country, the reason why we are where we are now is because we are doing our best to develop technology.
I remember what I said a long time ago: Wealth is created!
So how to create? In the past, it was through planting food crops, growing medicinal materials, skilled weapon refining, alchemy, etc. These are the ways to create wealth.
But this speed of wealth creation is too slow.
Later, after the explosion of technology, I think it goes without saying that the speed at which we create wealth is great. A steel smelting plant can create as much wealth as a net profit of one billion high-grade spiritual stones in one year!
And if you want to plunder through colonies, how many sins will you have to commit?
Moreover, what can you get by plundering colonies whose technology is not as good as ours? There is almost nothing else except wealth. But once you have wealth, you need to purchase cultivation resources. In the end, they will flow into our hands.
The premise is that we continue to maintain technological progress and development and maintain our absolute advantage."
"Let me calculate an account for you. If you use 500,000 people to colonize, you can control the country of Qixia ten years ago at most. But if these 500,000 people are fully invested in industrial technology production and high-tech industries, how much profit can be created?
Dayang Group currently has less than 300,000 people engaged in technical work, including outstanding engineers and above!
The engineering construction and outstanding workers of Dayang Group are less than two million.
But it is these less than 2.3 million people who have propped up the current Dayang Group.
In the next step, Dayang Group will continue to invest more wealth to train more technical personnel. While others are colonizing, we are developing technology.
Colonial colonization, colonies always have moments of scarcity, but technology has no limits!"
Everyone's eyes gradually brightened during Zhang Hao's speech. At this moment, everyone seemed to have surpassed
Then Zhang Hao's tone became serious. At this time, Zhang Hao had already thought of the situation on the earth: "Colonial rule is stable when a higher civilization dominates a lower civilization. But if there are two similar civilizations, or the ruler's civilization is lower
, colonial rule will eventually evolve into a resistance struggle.
And we in the West are indeed inferior to the East in terms of civilization and culture. This must be admitted. The East already has the idea of a hundred schools of thought contending, and the system we had here ten years ago is roughly equivalent to the outline of the East a thousand years ago.
Although there is capitalism, industrial and commercial ideas, etc., after all, the foundation is insufficient. We ourselves are still groping."
At this time, Zhang Hao thought about the colonial situation on earth: after World War II, some countries with their own civilizations became independent one after another. Only some backward areas were truly successfully colonized, but they also became a burden to the colonists.
Colonial rule can only obtain the most superficial profits; but if a force wants to go further, it must go beyond superficial profits and see clearly the essence.
The essence of Dayang Group is technology!
The essence of Qixia Country is also technology!
The core of industry, commerce and capitalism is technology!
It is precisely because of technology that the current Dayang Group exists.
Zhao Duo and other senior officials of the Qixia Kingdom left in shock. Zhao Duo even said in the end that he would communicate with the Queen after returning to see if he could auction off the Qixia Kingdom's colony in the Zhulong Continent, and then use the money
Wealth is invested in technology research and development.
In the past two years, the country of Qixia's technological progress has become somewhat exhausted. This is because more people have begun to settle for pleasure.
On the contrary, Dayang Group has continued to forge ahead due to its unique political system and Zhang Hao's leading role.
Early the next morning, the Strategic Alliance and the Strategic Alliance signed a temporary armistice agreement. They will jointly colonize the rich Kunlun continent in the east, which has long made all parties jealous.
Previously, West Kunlun could not conquer the east on its own. But now there is no problem! We have the entire Fertile Continent and the Great Earth Continent as backup.
The agreement was signed in the morning, and everyone completed the armistice before noon; in the afternoon, masters from all parties began to mobilize to the east. Not many people were mobilized at the beginning, but those who set out at the beginning were all masters, real masters.
The first group of masters came from the battlefield and mastered magical powers.
On the Dayang Group side, Zhang Hao did not take any immediate action, but he had already started sorting out railway transportation.
The Dayang Group's strategic materials will be directly sent by railway to the ports of Dongfang, the Feitou Continent, the tributary of the Immortal Yin Sect, and Dongfang, the Kingdom of Biyang, and then to West Kunlun and the front line.
Zhang Hao and Dayang Group drew a pie, which immediately attracted the active participation of various holy places in Fertile Continent and Taotu Continent. An unprecedented carve-up feast has begun.
The huge movements in the West were naturally detected by the Twelve Families in the East. There was no way to hide such a huge movement, and there was no need to hide it.
Since we are going to do it, we have to do it with great vigor and grandeur, and we have to overwhelm the opponent with momentum from the very beginning!
There was no declaration of war, and the war just shifted from a confrontation between the West to a confrontation between the East and the West.
And this is the result of Dayang Group's first direct intervention in the war!
After the Dongfang Twelve families learned about this situation, their expressions were naturally very exciting. They never expected that I wanted to bully Dayang Group, but... in the end, you gave me such a reply.
Also, the Liang Dynasty mission in the east of Kunlun Continent has been setting off for two days, and they have already entered the boundary of West Kunlun.
…………
Zhang Hao no longer pays attention to the situation of the Twelve Eastern Families. At this time, Zhang Hao is more concerned about Zhang Xinhan's scientific research fleet.
In the evening of that day, the fleet finally arrived safely at Changshan Port. Then more than 500 experts from Dayang Group escorted the items, and finally arrived at the headquarters of Dayang Group at sunset.
The items were sent to the most closely protected location of Dayang Group, the scientific research center.
When the 'bookcase' slowly opened, Zhang Hao looked at the more than two thousand books and felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.
surprise!
Huge surprise!
A surprise that cannot be described in words!
Zhang Hao patted Zhang Xinhan's shoulder hard, well done, well done!
