Chapter 573 575. Good Food and Good Wine
Gu Wenheng also knew their concerns. The initial investment was indeed a bit large, but some things could not wait.
"It's impossible to equip each of these small fishing boats with a compass. Not only does it take up space, but they may not be able to master how to use it." Gu Wenheng had thought about this problem before, but it is obvious that lighthouses play a greater role in offshore operations.
He Gaofei and the others were all somewhat tempted, but some details still needed to be discussed slowly.
Everyone was speaking out their ideas, and the recorder next to them kept listing their ideas one by one.
By the time the food and drinks from the restaurant were delivered, they were already several pages full.
"How about we eat first?" Wu Yichen smelled the aroma of food and couldn't help but hold his stomach.
I didn’t feel it when we were discussing it before, but now as soon as I smell it, my stomach starts to feel ruffled.
The situation of Gu Wenheng and the others was not much better. After all, they had contributed a lot at sea and had consumed a lot of energy, so it was normal for them to feel hungry at this time.
Gu Wenheng ordered three tables of drinks as usual. All those on duty in the yamen received the same treatment, except that the food and drinks were slightly inferior.
While drinking from their glasses of wine, a few people couldn't help but talk about some irrelevant topics.
"Commander Li seems to be coming here very often recently," Gu Wenheng asked casually.
He Gaofei, "But I came to see Lord Lu."
Lu Shenggen swallowed the squid in his mouth and said, "I am also annoyed. I have already told him that he won't sell my shares and he keeps lobbying me every day."
"Then you won't just refuse?"
"I have hinted and hinted at it many times, but he seems not to understand.
Later I asked someone about it and found out that he didn’t just target me. Anyone who had invested in the company had been harassed by him.”
He Gaofei put down his chopsticks and asked, "What does he want to do?"
Gu Wenheng, "...you have come into contact with him several times, didn't you notice it?"
Wu Yichen took a sip of wine and squinted his eyes in satisfaction, "I saw that the sea trade is about to start, so I wanted to get a piece of the pie."
Gu Wenheng smiled and said, "It's not just you who have this situation. Vice General Wang was complaining to me a few days ago that anyone with shares in the army would be harassed by him."
Wu Yichen, "..." I didn't expect that Lieutenant General Li was so generous. It seems I have to find an opportunity to make another dinner appointment.
He Gaofei, "..." What is this kid planning?
Lu Shenggen, "..." So it turns out that he is not just being special to himself, but casting a wide net?
Gu Wenheng could see through the thoughts on their faces at a glance, and since they were not hiding anything, he couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems that the longer these colleagues get along with each other, the more interesting they become.
"You don't have to guess. He acted this way because he was probably doing something for someone else." Gu Wenheng saw that they had all put down their bowls and chopsticks, so he picked up his wine glass and invited them to drink together.
"What your Excellency means is that he is helping others to collect shares." He Gaofei understood immediately.
This Lieutenant General Li had frequent contact with people from the capital, so this made sense.
I just didn't expect that the people in Beijing were so well-informed and wanted to get involved so quickly.
Gu Wenheng, "These days, my wife has received some letters from people who have ideas about maritime trade, but they were all rejected.
After all, there are only so many places, and it would be inappropriate to let anyone else get involved.”
Gu Wenheng was also reminding them in disguise that although the shares they held were small, they were already a big chunk of the pie.
He Gaofei and his friends also understood this truth and regretted it more than once in private. They should have sold everything they had and tightened their belts to eat more.
It’s not that I haven’t thought about asking Gu Wenheng to plead for mercy, but when the words come to my lips, I just can’t open my mouth.
"All the ships have already set sail today. Have you booked a date for sailing?"
Gu Wenheng, "This matter is still under discussion."
He Gaofei and the others didn’t understand, what was there to discuss?
Can't we just pick an auspicious time?
Gu Wenheng looked at their puzzled looks and just smiled. They would know these things in a few days, so there was no need for him to tell them now.

Jin Qianqian didn't expect that Ouyang Bing was so bold as to sacrifice himself and get hurt in exchange for finally getting over the grudges with the Zhong family.
Looking at the wood in front of her, Jin Qianqian immediately thought of another key person, "Dr. Guo is here, right?"
Mu Tou nodded silently. Not long after the Zhong family left, Guo Yulong arrived.
Jin Qianqian looked down on Ouyang Bing even more, it turned out that he had already planned this.
Although he suffered physical pain, it was all planned by him.
"It's really interesting. Go back and tell your master that I have done what I promised him before, but it's only this time."
Jin Qianqian was not prejudiced against people who were good at calculating. What made him dislike him was that Ouyang Bing, although he was clearly in the wrong first, admitted his mistake generously and respected him as a man.
He led others to run across most of the Rong Dynasty, and in the end he still made such a plot.
I guess myself, Guo Yurong and Zhong Tian are all part of his plan.
Mu Tou remained silent as before, and quietly retreated after performing the ceremony.
"It's a pity to have such a person following Ouyang Bing."
Mu Tou, who hadn't walked far yet, "..."
…

Knowing that her old friend had arrived, Jin Qianqian naturally had to entertain him.
In a private room of Tianfu Restaurant, Gu Wenheng and Jin Qianqian hosted a banquet for Guo Yurong.
When Guo Yurong saw them, she sighed in her heart. Before she met them, the two people in front of her were just ordinary refugees.
In just a few short years, his status and position changed.
Although he was a miracle doctor in the Medical Valley, he still had to pay his respects in front of these officials.
"Brother Guo, please don't try this. This is embarrassing us." Gu Wenheng immediately held his wrist. "We haven't seen each other for a long time. These false formalities are not necessary."
"This gift is not worth wasting. I am just an insignificant person. It is a great fate for me to have the honor of meeting you two..."
Jin Qianqian smiled and said, "Brother Guo, this literary style makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
We are all from the grassroots, who doesn't know who's background? Don't come with these empty words, sit down quickly.
I haven't seen you for a while, but Brother Guo hasn't changed at all."
Seeing that they really didn't care about these details, Guo Yurong's smile became more relaxed. "During this retreat, time has passed by unknowingly, and the outside world is constantly changing.
I have been to this city of Lu before, but it was not as beautiful as it is now.
Master Gu is indeed the great and honest judge that everyone praises. In such a short period of time, he has brought such great changes to this land."
Guo Yurong didn't like interacting with these government officials. If Gu Wenheng hadn't made so many political achievements and was dedicated to the people, he would not have accepted the invitation this time.
