Chapter 36, Knocking
Denison Henry fell to his knees in front of Gu Hang with a thud.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The three questions from the Governor were like peeling off the skin, stripping away his psychological defenses layer by layer.
He didn't think so.
At least I didn't dare think so openly.
But ask yourself, even with the instinct of a businessman, didn't he do this subconsciously?
He is a businessman and he wants to make money, but the governor is not a businessman. He always wants him to do this and that, and there are many additional conditions attached to the business, which of course affects his ability to make money.
He really didn't want other businessmen to compete with him for this business, even if he couldn't take up all the production capacity in the future.
As for the deeper ones, he really didn't think about it, but...
If he is the only exclusive licensee, and in the future he obtains the qualification of Garbage Town's agent, and his subordinates are powerful, and he continues to grow bigger and stronger through exclusive rights, then the Governor will become more and more dependent on him to expand trade routes and continue to develop. He will become the Governor's right-hand man, and his words and deeds will have a huge impact on the Governor's strategy, and his voice will become very high...
These scenes, which we dare not think about but cannot help but think about, were smashed to pieces by the Governor's questioning at this moment!
He kowtowed heavily: "Governor! I absolutely dare not!"
With his head nodding, he could not see Gu Hang's expression. He could only hear the Governor's cold voice after a moment:
"Really? You're so smart, you should think of something deeper, but you can't even think of this?"
"I don't dare to think about it." Henry didn't dare to play any tricks anymore. He was really beaten up today. "You are right, Governor. I am really a fool. I can't see the essence of things. I should have thought that as long as I work diligently for you, I don't need to worry about those illusory things. After your advice, I have completely understood it. Please give me another chance."
After saying that, he raised his head, looked at the governor sincerely, and kowtowed deeply and heavily once again.
Seeing Denison Henry's surrender, Gu Hang finally smiled slightly, and his tone was relaxed: "Since you can be smarter and think more deeply, that's good. Get up, don't kneel anymore, I'll take you to see another batch of goods. Didn't you say that weapons and equipment are the best commodities in Junk Town? I think the standard weapons widely equipped by the Imperial Astra Militarum must be very attractive to those adventurers."
Denison Henry suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise.
I just got slapped, but now the date in my mouth is so sweet!
The standard equipment of the Imperial Astra Militarum!
If he could get a batch and send it to Garbage Town, wouldn't they sell like hot cakes?
…
Gu Hang didn't intend to criticize Dennison Henry at first.
Objectively speaking, the job that guy did this time was not bad. Gu Hang had everything he wanted, and several thousand people also greatly supplemented his manpower needs for expanding production capacity in the future.
But the guy was annoying the Governor by asking for exclusive authorization.
Then Gu Hang would not be polite.
At the same time, he also further clarified one thing: What is the positioning of Denison Henry?
That guy, perhaps, considered himself as a partner. He was a businessman, and it was only natural that he wanted to make money and gain his own interests through cooperation.
But Gu Hang’s attitude is certainly not like that.
What he actually meant to say was:
"I'm not trying to trick you or bluff you. I'm giving you a chance to rise to the top overnight. Do you want to continue to be a businessman, or become my subordinate and a senior official of the future planetary government?"
For an ordinary businessman, even if he made some money with the help of the Governor, how could his status and position be compared with that of a real senior official?
Of course, this is a very risky thing. Whether the governor can take full power in the future and whether he can really develop, these all require Henry to make up his mind and even invest money.
But Gu Hang was full of confidence in himself, and he kindly gave Henry the opportunity.
For now at least, Henry is willing to take his chances.
That's fine.
What he said was not important. After Henry's statement, Gu Hang would wait and see how he would behave in the future.
As for handing over the standard equipment of the Astra Militarum to Denison Henry for sale, this was also what Gu Hang was planning to do. Just giving it to him as a treat was also a side job.
There is no production line for the G9 gun family yet, but it will be soon. In fact, it is already being produced on a small scale using a black box manufacturing machine.
Later, by using the mother machine to output a complete production line, Feidong Society’s heavy industry will be able to add a new arms production capacity.
With sufficient production capacity of raw materials such as alloy plastic steel, the production capacity of the G9 gun family will be quickly increased, and it won't be long before the two infantry battalions under Gu Hang's command will be fully equipped.
The gradually phased-out G7 gun family must have a place to go.
It would be a good idea to sell it to Garbage Town. Gu Hang’s territory is developing rapidly and there is a great demand for raw materials.
Of course, he doesn't plan to sell them all.
Take out a small portion, mix it with the local miscellaneous weapons seized from mercenaries in the previous battle at Mantan Valley Manor, and sell it as a bundle. It should be able to sell at a relatively ideal price.
Gu Hang plans to use the rest temporarily when expanding the army.
He still wants to expand the army.
At present, after a simple registration and reorganization, some of the newly recruited refugees will be arranged to go to Feidongshe, some will be added to the alloy plastic steel industry line of Feidongshe, and some will enter the construction of the hot limestone power plant.
Although Gu Hang still has enough energy crystals, it is still too extravagant to use this precious high-energy battery in industrial production. If there is the ability to build a cheap power plant, it would be better to save the energy crystals.
Apart from those sent to the abandoned villages to fill the heavy industry population, the rest will be used to build a textile factory here in the Governor's camp.
Human resources are still in short supply, but under such circumstances, Gu Hang still wants to expand his army.
He felt insecure in such a wasteland world.
To put it bluntly, everything he is doing now is still dancing on a tightrope.
The quintet in the sky is powerful, yes, but it doesn't belong to him.
He is the governor and the ruler, but the power under his direct command is too weak.
If one day a large force nearby, such as Garbage Town and Fuxing City, were driven into a corner by him and launched an all-out attack at all costs, Gu Hang would have no choice but to wait for death, except to let the Quintet avenge him and wipe out that force from the face of the earth.
Not to mention these low-probability things that have not yet come to fruition, just right now, something is happening that touches his sense of security.
The threat of mutants.
