Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wu Yiping was very happy to discover Zhao Dongxu's talent.  However, he did not forget his purpose of going to Lotus City, so he assigned tasks to each village guard team soldier and started asking around on the street.

    "Brother, I heard that your city lord raised the flag of rebellion and fought against the Dutch. Is it true?"

    The person being pulled became nervous and walked away quickly without making any answer

    "This uncle, I heard"

    "I don't know, don't ask me."

    "This uncle, I heard"

    "Bah! Liar"

    "This"

    ""

    After busy for a long time, Wu Yiping and all the village protection team soldiers returned to the Chamber of Commerce in Lotus City.  After hearing the news brought back by the village protection team soldiers, Wu Yiping shook his head:

    "Look at this Ping Hailong, he is another guy who is trying to sell his dog's meat. Fortunately, I discovered Zhao Dongxu, a talented person, and also discovered a large amount of iron ore. It is considered a worthwhile trip."

    Gu Yonglong has completed negotiations with the merchants who came to his door.  Seeing Wu Yiping come back, he immediately ran over to report back.

    "Instructor, I have already negotiated with them. Due to the special geographical location of Lotus City, they have very little food, so our dried fish has become a scarce commodity. They all want the dried fish we have.  I'm afraid that if we only agree to one company, the other companies will stumbling upon us."

    "So what I told them is to let them unite and trade with us, and let them discuss how much dried fish each person gets. In this way, we can sell all the dried fish at once. Although the profit is less,  But don¡¯t waste time, instructor, do you think that¡¯s okay?¡±

    Wu Yiping was very satisfied after listening to Wang Tianbao's introduction. This wholesale transaction is the best. Now he spends most of his time on launching the battleship.  But there is not a lot of time to do business.  Moreover, it is wholesaled to several companies at the same time. With these powerful companies uniting, there is no need to worry about someone doing something weird.

    Wu Yiping and the others set out on their way home the next day. At first, Wu Yiping planned to buy some sweet potatoes and other food, but he did not expect to find a large amount of iron ore in Lotus City. So Wu Yiping gave up buying food; instead, he  Buy all iron ore.

    After all, the potatoes and sweet potatoes in Dafeng Village will be harvested in about a month.  What Wu Yiping lacks most now is steel. The production of steel crossbows has stopped because the spare steel plates on the battleships are almost running out.

    With these iron ore and steel crossbows, we can slowly resume production, and we can also start researching other weapons.

    Of course, Wu Yiping has not forgotten the technician Zhao Dongxu, who is now being held down in the cabin with his mouth covered and his hands and feet tied.  After Wu Yiping arranged for people to move steel to the blacksmith shop last night, he arranged for people to kidnap Zhao Dongxu.

    In addition, Liu Cheng, who has never been seen, was arranged to live in Zhao Dongxu's blacksmith shop with a young man named Li Xiong from the previous fishing team, and the blacksmith shop was changed into a grocery store for buying dried fish, sweet potatoes and other items;

    Externally, it is said that the owner of this blacksmith shop, Zhao Dongxu, could not maintain his business and gave the shop to Liu Cheng.  Because when the steel was being moved that night, many people saw Zhao Dongxu directing nearby and thought that

    At that time, I was moving away.  Therefore, there is less Zhao Dongxu and more Liu Cheng and Li Xiong in Lotus City, and it does not arouse anyone's suspicion.  This can be regarded as Wu Yiping's contact point in Lotus City.

    More than two hours later, the lifeboat had left Lotus City.  Wu Yiping finally released Zhao Dongxu who was tied to the bottom of the cabin.

    Although this Zhao Dongxu is young and strong, he has been tied and raced under the cabin since the early hours of last night. He has been tied and trapped for seven or eight hours now. Although he is covered with a quilt, his hands and feet have long been numb. He let go  The rope was unsteady and he sat back on the iron block.

    He looked at Wu Yiping angrily, not caring that Wu Yiping was surrounded by people around him, and started to curse

    yes!  Anyone who encounters something like this will first feel angry, and only after the anger subsides will they know how to be afraid.  This Zhao Dongxu can be regarded as an elite among blacksmiths in Lotus City, although he was unable to get Ping Hailong's order because he had no connections;

    But from a technical point of view, he is the well-deserved number one.  He has a high status among all blacksmiths, and ordinary farmers are respectful when they see him or when someone wants to make something from him.  But when he met the silly and bold Wu Yiping, everything changed.  Just kidnap the person directly.

    Seeing this, Zhao Dongxu kept cursing and talking.  Wu Yiping just stood aside with a smile and waited until he had vented his anger enough before speaking.  Zhao Dongxu is actually a man of action,After a minute or two, I couldn't find anything to say. I looked at Wu Yiping standing by with a smile and said angrily:

    "Boss, I'm just a blacksmith with some brute force. I don't know why you tied me up! No family will ask for a ransom for me."

    Seeing that he had calmed down, Wu Yiping smiled apologetically and cupped his hands. He was probably his right-hand man in the future. Of course, he had to calm down first, otherwise it would be difficult for him to contribute.

    "Haha! It's my fault that I invited you here in this way."

    As soon as Wu Yiping came up, he first apologized, then pretended to be sincere, and continued: "I think the steelmaking furnace you made, Master Zhao, is very advanced. You must be a senior and professional in this industry."  , I naturally admire you endlessly. Seeing that you are about to be unable to operate because of poor business; I can¡¯t stand it when people like you can¡¯t continue to study the things you like. We now have tens of thousands of people in Dafeng Village.  Man, now that I finally have some ability, I couldn't bear to see your blacksmith shop close, so I had to take this last step and invite you out."

    Wu Yiping paused and continued: "If you follow me to Dafeng Village, we have our own village protection team and need a lot of weapons. I can guarantee that your business will be very good; and our village protection team is very good.  It¡¯s so powerful, and you don¡¯t have to worry about your own safety. Not only will you make endless money, but you can also continue to research how to make good steel, and you can do all the things you are interested in.¡±

    Seeing that Zhao Dongxu still had a bad look on his face, Wu Yiping continued: "I know you won't believe it if you just listen to my explanation. So, you come with me to Dafeng Village to have a look. If you still decide after seeing it,  If you want to leave, I will never stop you, you can come and go freely."

    This promise from Wu Yiping is not a small one. Zhao Dongxu, who was still a little angry at first, finally calmed down and looked at Zhou Yuanqiang steadily, with an uncertain face.

    After a long time, Zhao Dongxu said calmly: "Boss, are these things you said true? When the time comes, what I see is the same as what you said, so what's the harm in following you!" But if it's different, I  He will definitely leave."

    Seeing the other party say this, Wu Yiping felt relieved.  He muttered proudly: "Huh! As long as I get to Dafeng Village, I am sure that Zhao Dongxu will never escape from my grasp. Hehe!!"

    (I looked at the book review section today and found that many book friends pointed out many of my shortcomings. I would like to thank you in advance. This is my first time writing a book, and the most I have ever written was no more than 5,000 words. Let¡¯s start now.  After writing it, I found that it was completely different from what I imagined. I will keep the problems pointed out by book friends in mind and slowly correct them. If you have any other good suggestions, please write them in the book review, so that I can make progress, right?  !!!)
