Gui Mengjun stayed in Longcheng for only two days before he secretly went to Casaro with the Tongji Society members to meet Zhao Weihu.
In fact, before coming here, Gui Mengjun knew in his heart that Lao Li would never agree to his request right away, but the relationship depended on interaction and many things needed to be laid, so he didn't care much about the result, only the process.
Gui Mengjun came here in person, deepened the relationship with Li Mingsheng's team, and also expressed the direction of cooperation he wanted in the future. The goal was basically achieved.
…
To be honest, it is actually very tiring to interact with people like Lao Li. Due to the special nature of their identities, many things cannot be said openly, and communication is full of temptations and implicitness. So after a dinner, all you feel is fatigue.
However, it is more refreshing to interact with people like Zhao Weihu. The latter has a rough and unrestrained air and is in a relatively free position. He does not need to read anyone's face except Ren Min Junzheng F. He speaks directly and simply, 1 is 1, 2 is 2, and it is very refreshing.
Recently, the rebels have been losing ground, and the Chi army has been quiet. When Gui Mengjun, Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu and others came, Zhao Weihu had more personal time, so the two sides could contact each other more frequently.
Next to a natural lake in the Chi Army garrison area, people were sitting on the shore fishing, and the atmosphere was quite joyful.
"When are you getting married, brother?!" Su Tianyu asked Yu Mingyuan while holding the fishing rod, "You've been engaged for more than a year, why haven't you made any progress?"
"You know, Xiaorou went to District 1 for further studies last year and only came back in April." Yu Mingyuan took a sip of water and said, "Soon, she's preparing for a new house. I guess it'll be next month if not this month."
"Fuck, are you moving out?" Dabai, who is liked by both men and women, felt a little disappointed when he heard this.
Yu Mingyuan smiled and said, "Not necessarily. She and I are both very busy. She is in the army and has to live outside the district for a long time. I am in the association and don't have time to travel between the two places. So maybe most of the time, I still live in our old nest."
"We're going to separate after we get married?" Dabai squinted at Yu Mingyuan and said, "Hey, tell the truth to the brothers. How you treat Wen Xiaorou...!"
I guess only Dabai would dare to ask this question, and ask it so directly.
Yu Mingyuan understood what Dabai meant. He paused for a moment and replied, "I'm different from you. You fall in love with every girl you meet and you're full of energy. But I'm the slow-moving type. I didn't really have any feelings for Xiaorou at the beginning, but now that we've been together for a long time, I like her and I love her very much."
"That's fine. After all, marriage is not like playing poker. It's fine as long as both parties are happy." Dabai commented like an old professor, "Lifetime matters should be taken seriously. Just like how I treat my baby, I really want to use my whole life to love her...!"
"roll!"
"Congratulations!" Zhou Tonghui patted Yu Mingyuan on the shoulder and said, "I'll be your best man when the time comes."
"Forget it. I won't use either you or Dabai. They are too dirty." Yu Mingyuan waved his hand: "It's not auspicious!"
Zhou Tonghui didn't argue: "I'm washing it?!"
"Ha ha!"
A group of brothers laughed out loud.
On the shore not far away, Gui Mengjun and Zhao Weihu sat side by side, with no one else around.
Zhao Weihu held a cigarette in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right hand, and asked softly, "Boss Gui, there are no outsiders here, just say whatever you want to say."
"Haha." Gui Mengjun grinned and replied slowly: "In fact, the matter is simple. It's just a matter of investment."
"you say."
"Commander Zhao, the Renmin Army has been making great progress recently, and there are signs that they are about to crush the rebels." Gui Mengjun said softly; "For businessmen, there are more opportunities here. My idea is that if you can talk to the higher-ups, wouldn't it be great if we can have a deeper economic cooperation?"
"How to go deeper?" Zhao Weihu asked.
"Infrastructure investment, mining development, resource trade." Gui Mengjun turned his head and looked at the other party: "This matter needs the approval of the Renmin Military and Political Bureau. If we are given a relatively stable environment and some privileges, we can bring in the money."
Zhao Weihu frowned and thought for a while: "What benefits does the Renmin Army have?"
"For military equipment, we will increase the volume of goods exported, the price will be lower, and we can even provide some technical support." Gui Mengjun paused and said with a smile: "So, if you want to build a military airport, we can find people to do it."
Zhao Weihu nodded slowly: "Then what's the benefit for me?"
"I'm talking about you." Gui Mengjun looked at him with his eyes: "If it weren't for you, we might... not have been able to interact with the Renmin Army like this."
"Haha!" Zhao Weihu laughed: "Am I that important?"
"Very important." Gui Mengjun nodded.
"As long as you are willing, I can support you with money and armaments." Gui Mengjun added.
Zhao Weihu looked at him and asked, "You want me to change my flag?"
"No, no, not so early, not so urgent."
"… My bottom line is that we can cooperate, but I won't accept anyone's recruitment." Zhao Weihu replied very directly: "Carrying guns to make a living is nothing more than making the brothers live a better life, not being bullied or controlled by others, and not collectively committing suicide because of some kind of order."
Gui Mengjun looked at him and nodded: "I understand. But I don't mean that deeply."
"Let's talk about profit. You want to build a bridge with the government army, then OK, I can be the middleman." Zhao Weihu paused and said, "In addition to the income from the resources of the region, I will take 10% of the other trade to support the troops. What do you think?"
“Isn’t that a bit much?!”
"There is a Chinese living town in my defense zone. I want to take it up, but I don't have the money." Zhao Weihu turned his head and said, "This is the bottom line. It's like giving you a 50% discount. If it were someone else, I would ask for 20%."
"Haha!" Gui Mengjun grinned: "Okay, I agree."
"Can you make the decision?"
"Of course I can make the final decision on my business." Gui Mengjun said straightforwardly: "Is that it?"
"Okay, in the next two days, I will take you to meet the deputy commander of the government army." Zhao Weihu stood up and said, "I will tell you the words, but you guys will discuss the details."
"Not fishing anymore?"
"I'm not fishing anymore. The fish are too hard to bite!"
"Ha ha!"
…
In a military defense zone around Casaro, a large number of soldiers are gathering their weapons, seemingly preparing for a large-scale migration.
at the same time.
Gu Baishun sat in the mining area, holding the phone in his right hand, and asked softly: "You order, President!"
"Come to District 1 when you have time." Jing Yan paused and said with a smile, "I want to see you!"
Gu Baishun blinked: "Great!"
