Chapter 30, Pressure
Denison Henry came to meet the Governor this time, and he was very, very surprised by the initial communication.
He got what he wanted for almost nothing.
Of course, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to pay.
After taking the goods, he had to pay for them with alliance coins. The governor provided a series of lists, asking him to buy this and that. He looked at them and found some difficult things in them. For example, the governor wanted the best for Fuxing City. textile machines, sewing machines, want to import textile raw materials, want hot limestone generator sets, want hot graystone itself, want to build cement factories, brick factories...
Moreover, the Governor seemed to know the market very well. The list and approval he was given allowed him to take away goods this time, which were of similar value. According to his own estimation, the profits here have been severely compressed. If he wants to make more money, he may have to try his best to sell alloy plastic steel and armor vests at higher prices, and he must try to find cheap and useful sources for the things he buys for the governor.
It was difficult to handle, but Henry was still full of motivation.
Isn't this the time to show off your abilities?
If everything is easy to handle, then the Governor can just find someone to do the job, what does he have to do with himself?
However, when the topic fell to the second half, he gradually became less happy.
Mainly mentioned a very crucial point.
Denison Henry wanted exclusive sales rights to the alloy plastic steel industry.
This is a guarantee for his own interests. He needs this thing to ensure that the market path he has taken will not be picked by latecomers.
Eliminating competitors and doing monopoly business is of course more profitable.
But Gu Hang didn’t allow it.
He argued with reason, saying things like 'This can better serve the Governor', 'This will help me expand my influence in Junk Town and help the Governor do more things in the future'. .
However, none of his words could move Gu Hang.
Gu Hang blocked him back with just two words:
"I can give you the power you want, but I won't give it to you for free. Why do you want so much from me when you haven't done anything yet?"
"Use your actions to prove your loyalty."
Having said this, what else does Henry have to say?
He nodded heavily: "I will prove it to you, Mr. Governor."
"Also, do something extra for me."
"Whatever you ask."
"I still need more manpower in my camp. There are so many refugees in Fuxing City who rely on urban life. Bring people here."
"No problem, I will definitely bring you healthy and reliable refugees, and the price will be absolutely cheap."
Gu Hang shook his head and looked very dissatisfied: "What money are we talking about? Those refugees are not recognized as official residents by Fuxing City, but I recognize them. Every human on the Raging Owl is a subject of the empire. They are all my subjects. I want you to publicize my kindness, my policies, and my declaration to them, and let them migrate here. If they are in trouble, you will provide them with necessary help, and I will even help them directly if necessary. They, do you understand what I mean?”
Henry was stunned when he heard this.
Why didn't you understand?
You must understand that.
Whoring for nothing?
Don’t you just want to get people here if you don’t want to pay?
Henry looked very ashamed: "Yes, that's right, I am shallow..."
But according to the Governor, it doesn't seem like there's nothing wrong with it.
Although Fuxing City is large, it can only provide so many jobs and support people. Outside the city, there are many refugees who cannot survive. Through publicity, it is not impossible to make these people willing to migrate here spontaneously.
"But... Your Excellency, Governor, please forgive me. If we follow this method, the quantity and quality of the refugees who may migrate cannot be guaranteed. Most of the refugees who cannot survive are old, weak, sick and disabled; A healthy person can still find a job to support himself. ”
Gu Hang waved his hand and said, "This is your job. Spreading my will to the people is also a sign of your loyalty. Don't let me down." Damn it, I really want to have sex for nothing!
Denison Henry could only say helplessly: "Yes, I understand what to do."
……
After sending away the complacent and ambitious Hong Shang, who was ready to do something big and had to satisfy both his reasonable and unreasonable demands, Gu Hang got busy with another thing non-stop.
He asked his follower Zhang Chao to send another communication message to Fuxing City.
Wohan, a member of the alliance, was a cultist's matter, and Gu Hang needed Fuxing City to give him an explanation.
Of course, it doesn't matter how you explain it.
What Gu Hang needs is an opportunity to use the topic to his advantage.
He had to work hard to find this opportunity.
Now, there is a ready-made one.
There is a cult member in the Alliance Parliament, the nominal governing body of the Alliance.
When Wohan was resisting, he used the storm magic. When Gu Hang figured out that it was not his own psychic power, but had some source of it, he almost burst into laughter.
After capturing Wohan alive, he had almost obtained the necessary interrogation and information.
This guy definitely believes in a cult.
Although he is not a devout believer, he does believe in the original Moonkin Sect's statement, and is willing to provide movement convenience to those cultists as a member of the Council, and will also donate money and materials.
He is not a core member, he is just a believer, but he is richer.
He also obtained some things, such as receiving the 'blessing from God' and mastering the magic of storm; he could ask cultists to help him do some secret things that he could not do easily.
In fact, when he caused trouble for the Governor this time, he wanted to ask the Original Angry Owl Sect to take action, but he was rejected because they could not arrange the manpower temporarily and they were busy with other things.
With these confessions and the fact that Wohan himself was still alive, Gu Hang had the greatest leverage to launch an attack.
After the communication with Fuxing City was connected, the person talking to Gu Hang was still the Alliance's Parliament Speaker, Miriam Hodgson.
"Hello, Lord Governor." Hodgson opened his mouth to greet him.
Gu Hang didn't give any face, and his tone was very stern: "Mr. Hodgson, I am very disappointed with your work."
Hearing the Governor's words, Old Hodgson already felt a dull pain in his head.
The Governor is going to act like a monster again!
I gave you the large amount of supplies you asked for; I also sold the people you asked me to betray; what do you want now?
Hodgson weakly replied: "Please tell me, Lord Governor."
"How can alliance members be corrupted into heretics? How did you, the parliament leader, do it? Are the alliance parliament still loyal to the empire? Has Fuxing City become the home of the original Moonkin Sect?"
Gu Hang came out with a series of accusations.
Hodgson never expected that Gu Hang would say such a piece of news. A big pot was placed on his head, which made him stunned.
Before that, he had no idea Wohan was a cultist.
