Chapter 30, Pressure
When Denison Henry came to meet the Governor this time, he was very surprised at the initial communication.
He got what he wanted without paying almost anything.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that there is really no need to pay.
After receiving the goods, he had to pay for them in Alliance coins. The Governor provided him with a series of lists, asking him to buy this and that. He looked at them and found some of them difficult to handle. For example, the Governor wanted the best textile machines and sewing machines in Renaissance City, wanted to import textile raw materials, wanted hot limestone generators, wanted hot limestone itself, wanted to build a cement plant and a brick factory...
Moreover, the Governor seemed to know the market well, and the list and approval he gave him allowed him to take away goods of similar value. According to his own estimation, the profit margin was very tight. If he wanted to make more money, he would have to try his best to sell the alloy steel and armored vests at a higher price, and he would also have to try to find cheap and good sources of goods for the Governor.
But even though it was difficult, Henry was still full of motivation.
Isn't this the time to show your abilities?
If everything is easy to handle, then the Governor can just find someone to do the job. What does it have to do with me?
However, when the topic moved to the second half, he gradually became less happy.
Mainly mentioned a very critical point.
Denison Henry wanted to obtain exclusive sales rights to the alloy plastic steel industry.
This is a guarantee of his own interests. He needs this thing to ensure that the market path he has paved will not be taken advantage of by latecomers.
Eliminating competitors and engaging in monopoly business will of course be more profitable.
But Gu Hang didn't allow it.
He argued with reason, saying things like 'This will allow me to better serve the Governor', 'This will help me expand my influence in Garbage Town, and do more for you, Governor, in the future'.
However, none of his words could impress Gu Hang.
Gu Hang blocked him back with just two sentences:
"I can give you the power you want, but I won't give it to you for free. You haven't done anything yet, so why do you ask me for so much?"
"Use your actions to prove your loyalty."
Now that things have come to this, what else does Henry have to say?
He nodded heavily: "I will prove it to you, Governor."
"Also, do one more thing for me."
"You may command me."
"I need more manpower in my camp. There are so many refugees in Fuxing City who rely on the city for living. Bring them here."
"No problem. I will definitely bring you healthy and reliable refugees, and the price will definitely be cheap."
Gu Hang shook his head, looking very dissatisfied: "What's the point of talking about money? Those refugees are not recognized as official residents by Fuxing City, but I recognize them. Every human on the Angry Owl Star is a subject of the empire, and is my subject. I want you to publicize my kindness, my policies, and my declaration to them, and let them migrate here. If they have difficulties, you must provide them with necessary assistance, and I will even help them directly if necessary. Do you understand what I mean?"
Henry was stunned.
Why didn’t you understand?
Then you must have understood it.
Free sex?
Don't you want to bring people here just because you don't want to spend money?
Henry looked very ashamed: "Yes, that's right, I am shallow..."
But according to the Governor, it seems that there is still some hope.
Although Fuxing City is large, it can only provide so many jobs and support so many people. Outside the city, there are many refugees who cannot survive. It is not impossible to make these people willing to migrate here voluntarily through publicity.
"But... Governor, please forgive me. If we follow this method, the number and quality of the refugees we relocate may not be guaranteed. Most of those who cannot survive are the old, weak, sick and disabled. Those who are strong and healthy can still find a job to support themselves."
Gu Hang waved his hand and said, "This is your job. Spreading my will to the people is also a manifestation of your loyalty. Don't let me down."
Damn, I really want to get it for free!
Denison Henry could only say helplessly: "Yes, I know what to do."
…
After sending away the merchant who was full of confidence and ready to do something big but also had to satisfy his own reasonable and unreasonable demands, Gu Hang immediately got busy with another thing.
He asked his follower Zhang Chao to send another communication message to Fuxing City.
The matter of Wohan, the alliance councillor, being a cultist, Gu Hang needs to get an explanation from Fuxing City.
Of course, it doesn't matter how you explain it.
What Gu Hang needed was an opportunity to make use of the issue.
He had to work hard to find this opportunity.
Now, there is one ready-made.
A cultist member of the Alliance Parliament, the nominal ruling body of the Alliance, emerged.
When Wohan was resisting, he used the evil storm magic. When Gu Hang figured out that it was definitely not his own psychic power, but had some kind of source, he almost laughed out loud.
After capturing Wohan alive, he had almost completed the necessary interrogation and obtained all the necessary intelligence.
This guy is definitely a believer in a cult.
Although he is not a devout believer, he does believe in the teachings of the original Owlbeast sect, and is willing to provide convenience to the cultists in his capacity as a councillor, and will also offer money and supplies.
He is not a core member, just a believer, who is just richer.
He also gained some things, such as being blessed by God and mastering the magic of storms; he could ask the cultists to help him do some secret things that were difficult for him to do.
In fact, when he was causing trouble for the Governor this time, he wanted to ask the Original Angry Owl Sect to take action, but they refused because they did not have enough manpower and were busy with other things.
With these confessions and the fact that Wo Han was still alive, Gu Hang had the greatest capital to launch an attack.
After the communication with Fuxing City was established, the person who spoke to Gu Hang was still the Alliance's Speaker, Miriam Hodgson.
"Hello, Governor." Hodgson opened his mouth to greet.
Gu Hang didn't give him any face at all, and said in a stern tone: "Mr. Hodgson, I am very disappointed with your work."
After hearing what the Governor said, Old Hodgson felt a dull pain in a nerve in his head.
The Governor is going to start making trouble again!
I have given you the large amount of supplies you wanted; I have also sold the people you wanted me to sell out; what else do you want now?
Hodgson replied weakly: "Please give your instructions, Governor."
"How could the Alliance members be corrupted into a heretical cult? How did you, as the Speaker of the Parliament, do that? Is the Alliance Parliament still loyal to the Empire? Has Renaissance City become the lair of the Primal Owlbeast Sect?"
Gu Hang came up with a barrage of accusations.
Hodgson never thought that Gu Hang would actually say such a piece of news. It was like a cauldron was put on his head, which made him stunned.
Before this, he had no idea that Wohan was a member of a cult.
