Chapter 506: Confusing
In these years, some people are ruthless, and some people are even more ruthless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Lula instructed his minions to wreak havoc and kill the entire city of Mérida under his coercive control. Everyone, including the colonists of the Enclave, is called the 'Executioner' behind their backs.
And now, even more ruthless people are coming.
You're cool with knives and guns, aren't you? I'll bombard you scum with a cannon!
The W90 self-propelled howitzer is of little use in the real world, and it shows its hideous face as soon as it appears in the wasteland. This is a military-level weapon and equipment in a large-scale operation, and it is no longer a dream to win on the battlefield.
Seeing the demonic Lula being tortured to death, everyone in Merida was very happy, but they were both happy and deeply terrified. Your Excellency the Governor is stepping on the corpse of a demon to ascend to the throne, which means that if he is ruthless, he will be even more brutal than Lula!
"I understand your concerns, but I don't think you need to be too afraid. I have no intention of taking power from you, I just want to work with you. Zhou Qingfeng shook a glass of 'Supreme' brand whiskey in his hand, and looked at the bureaucrats sitting with him with a smile.
After Zhou Qingfeng issued an invitation for talks, who in the entire Merida City dared not to appreciate his face? Before it was dark, the heads of the various districts in charge of the management of the entire Yucatan region rushed to the Doge's Palace.
Since the main building of the Governor's Palace was hit by a heavy artillery shell, Zhou Qingfeng simply asked someone to tidy up the vicinity of the crater and set up dozens of tables and chairs as the meeting site. The guests smelled the gunpowder smoke and looked at the crater, and naturally felt that the momentum was suppressed, and after taking their seats, they were all very well-behaved.
"Mr. Paramount." Zhou Qingfeng suddenly called out a name, and a round-faced fat man in the crowd immediately stood up in shock
It's really rare for Mr. Paramount to be so fat in the wasteland world, and he must have made a lot of money in private. However, when he heard that he was being named, he felt a chill on his neck, and involuntarily got up and bent down, and asked humbly, "Your Excellency, honorable governor, do you have any orders?" ”
"Mr. Paramount, you're the head of planning for the production department in Merida, could you do me a small favor and get the workers in this city to stop producing something, like those shoddy and portable boilers?" When Zhou Qingfeng said this, his face was expressionless.
For the portable boiler in Merida City, Zhou Qingfeng is deeply resentful. This thing doesn't have any technical content, and it can be made by knocking on some iron sheets, but it seriously affects the sales of similar products in Havana, and it also affects employment.
Mr. Paramount immediately jumped into a face and said in embarrassment: "Your Excellency, the portable boiler is something that the North American headquarters has asked to produce. If we fail to produce a certain amount of output, we will be punished, and even affect the materials sent to us by the headquarters. ”
"Supplies from headquarters?" Zhou Qingfeng sneered, "The materials sent by the headquarters are simply not enough for us. We'll have to figure it out ourselves. As for your concerns, I can address them. Isn't it just 5,000 portable boilers a month? I'll get you a better supply. ”
As soon as they heard 'better sources', everyone knew that it would be smuggled goods from Cuba. But Mr. Paramount still wondered: "But what do we buy it for?" ”
"To produce other things for trade, such as oil, we feel that we need to increase our oil production. You can also find a way to get coal from northern Mexico.
There is also the inshore fishing industry, which can bring us a lot of benefits. Even the dead grass in the wilderness can be collected and made into the most basic fuel. There's a lot you can do. ”
Zhou Qingfeng said lightly, but this is tantamount to a complete change in the administrative and production system of the city of Mérida. Lula had managed to concentrate the entire Yucatan population, but His Excellency the Doge intended to disperse the population again. No one would dare to let go of this change easily.
Among the guests present, Lieutenant Colonel Harding has the highest status and also holds real power in his hands. If he had felt contempt for the 'Governor Alfonso' before, he was now faintly frightened and even terrified.
Now that Zhou Qingfeng wants to reconstruct the ruling system of the entire Yucatan region, Lieutenant Colonel Harding has to stand up and express some concerns, "Your Excellency the Governor, have you been approved by your superiors for doing this?" ”
Zhou Qingfeng laughed a few times, he picked up the whiskey in his hand and asked, "Lieutenant Colonel Harding, I know you have a preference for whiskey." If I give you a bottle of whiskey every month, can you forget the question just now? ”
"You're kidding." Lieutenant Colonel Harding was faintly angry, he was also a member of the party, what does a bottle of whiskey mean a month...... it's not so cheap to buy me, right?
"And what about ten bottles a month?"
Lieutenant Colonel Harding still sneered.
"A hundred bottles?"
The lieutenant colonel wanted to walk away.
"A thousand bottles?"
Uh......, seems to be something to think about.
"Ten thousand bottles?"
"Uh-huh......." Lieutenant Colonel Harding coughed lightly as he tried to organize words in his head, thinking about how to say it to make everyone get by.
"Do you want more?" This time, Zhou Qingfeng sneered, "Actually, it's not impossible to want more, but there must be enough exchange value." ”
"I think what I just said is a bit ill-conceived, and the Governor must have had a plan. These things are beyond the scope of our discussion. "Lieutenant Colonel Harding sat down again, and what he had just said was tantamount to being eaten back by himself.
There is not a single stupid person here, and everyone is calculating in their hearts the current value of 10,000 bottles of whiskey. Wine is so important in the last days that it's not just for drinking in the stomach. If you can produce drinking alcohol, you can produce medical alcohol, which is a more scarce material at present.
10,000 bottles of high-count liquor can be sold for a lot of money. And if it is used as a bribe, it is easy to get a very good official position. If used to buy slaves, a bottle of wine would make you a healthy adult slave, or two or three younger slave girls.
In this damn era, 10,000 bottles of whiskey can get too much. For Zhou Qingfeng, 10,000 bottles of whiskey are only about ten tons, which is very cheap.
"I can offer more than you can imagine, such as instant noodles, which everyone loves. And what about ham sausages? Instant noodles without ham sausage aren't perfect. I can sell you lots and lots of things at a reasonable price, as long as you can give me some convenience. ”
Zhou Qingfeng's words are simply like the words of the devil, full of the ability to confuse people's hearts. Everyone in the audience was beating faster, breathing rapidly, looking at each other in their eyes, and their minds were shaking. They are all thinking about how much they can get out of this business? As for the impact this will have on the Enclave, no one cares at all.
So far, Zhou Qingfeng has successfully gained a foothold in Merida City, and has also opened a big hole in the enemy's blockade. (To be continued.) )
