Chapter 209 Talk And Laugh And Seize Power
Most of the time, this Jianghu was ruthless. The longer one stayed in it, the less trust and warmth one would have in their hearts. Occasionally, it was also full of emotions, which was why there were so many stories of righteousness and mutual trust between Jianghu's children.
Gu Tianyou looked at the two middle-aged men in the room with nervous expressions. He thought back to when he had just met them, Qing Rong and Tie Xue shone with courage. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "The purpose of visiting at night is to discuss a business."
The Guo brothers looked at each other and said to each other, "What's there to talk about? Is the Chief of Staff planning to meet him with a dagger?"
Gu Tianyou said, "Before we talk about business, I would like to ask you two a question. What are you here for? Is your family prospering? Or are you planning to become an independent country?"
"Independent country? How is that possible?" Guo Mingguo said.
Gu Tianyou smiled and said, "This is easy. If it's just for the prosperity of our family business, then we have business to discuss."
Guo Quanxing said, "If the Chief of Staff has something to say, he might as well say it directly."
Gu Tianyou nodded. "I won 't beat around the bush, In a word, I have taken a fancy to your precious land, The two of you shipped gold out a while ago, Gu opened one eye and closed the other. Not for anything else, I just wanted to leave you two alive, I've never been a very good businessman, So all he said was the starting price, "Your brothers are going to Europe for development. I will allow you to take away those loyal brothers, including you and their families. You can take away all your property. From this year onwards, I will give you ten tons of gold a year for five consecutive years. As for what you are going to do with the money there, that is your problem."
The Guo brothers looked at each other. Gu Tianyou continued, "You two can think about it for a night. If you don't receive my signal tomorrow morning, the three divisions of the Eastern Alliance Army of Bao Lacuo will launch an attack on Guos Army's territory in the name of sweeping away drugs. At that time, I won't be able to completely control the outcome."
"Bao Lacuo and Wu Dengyun have a big appetite. Without the drug business, what terms does the Chief of Staff have to cooperate with them?" Guo Mingguo asked with a frown.
"To my father-in-law, a single sentence can decide the life and death of their entire family. However, the condition I have given you is no less than five tons of armaments worth of gold per year. It's roughly the same as what Senior Sister Hai Bo promised you on behalf of General Zheng, right?" Gu Tianyou said.
Guo Quanxing sighed and said, "The Chief of Staff made a good move. We have nothing to consider. What we say is just a joke. This business is done!"
People float in Jianghu, who can not get the knife. The two brothers were currently under a low eave, so they had no choice but to lower their heads, not to mention that this lowering of their heads was not worthless. The saber head licked the blood just for the sake of money. Gu Tianyou's offer was too tempting. Fifty tons of gold, including the batch they had already transferred, was enough for the Guo Clan to become one of the wealthiest and richest clans in the world.
In ancient times, there was Zhao Kuangyin drinking wine to explain military power, but today, there was Brother Tianyou chatting and laughing to seize power. Taking the path of momentum, step by step, if there is a gain is also the form of momentum, the opponents have their own reasons.
… … … …
Completely digesting the Guo Clan's military site took time, but closing all the drug processing sites was completed overnight. The total number of troops in Guos Army reached 10,000, and the true elite combat strength was only over 1,000 people like Special Operations Squadron. The others were ordered by Gu Tianyou to put down their guns and pick up their tools to become workers of the newly established Gu Enterprise. Repairing roads, mining, and planting forests. In short, Gu Tianyou had plenty of places to accommodate these people.
Meng Yi was in charge of all military affairs, including adding ten squadrons as appropriate. Gu Tianyou did not plan to recruit this squadron from the local area. Instead, through Sun Mingshen's connections, he wanted to directly recruit a batch of outstanding veterans from the country who were ready to fight. Once these people were in place, Gu Tianyou would no longer have any hidden dangers on this land. Another advantage of doing so was that it could calm Sun Mingshen's heart. It had already made Elder Sister Zou unhappy, and she could not offend even the old spy.
Meng Yi was given full responsibility for the military, but the person in charge of the internal affairs fell on Luo Jiahao's head unexpectedly. Only then did the little dragon girl understand that the eighth uncle's inexplicable beating of Luo Jiahao that day was actually a bitter plot to dig out the veterans who were still loyal to the Guo brothers and use Luo Jiahao's mouth to provoke their interests and force the Guo brothers to express their stance in the end.
There was also a question of financial rights. Although Brother Tianyou was in this territory, he did not plan to stay in Shajiabang for long. This financial power always required a reliable person to control it. Little Dragon Girl, this little miser, had a full score for reliability, but her ability was a little low. For the time being, Gu Tianyou had no choice but to take control of the situation first. He only waited for the little girl to be trained before handing over the power.
The Central Asian Peninsula is rich in forest species, among which there are countless precious trees. According to the results of Luo Jiahao's patrol, Gu Tianyou controlled a territory that contained over tens of thousands of cubic meters of perennial sandalwood, pear, and golden silk. As long as there were stable sales channels, these were all precious resources. However, considering the fact that it was almost impossible to regenerate trees, Gu Tianyou decided to temporarily harvest only the trees along the road.
It was not until the manager knew that firewood was expensive that he realized how difficult this job was and how trivial it was. It was simply unimaginable.
The size of the previous town could no longer satisfy Gu Tianyou's appetite. Brother Tianyou was ambitious to build a city of his own on this land. However, it was only when he really started to do it that he realized that the work was not simple. From the underground pipeline network infrastructure to the reconstruction and expansion of surface buildings, medical culture and education, fire security, there is no place without professional personnel. After more than a month of talking, he finally couldn't help but call Uncle Miao, the sect leader of Fuxi Investment, for help.
Miao Shifan said that he could do whatever he wanted to control Fuxi's investment. It wasn't a problem to invite him to take charge of the overall situation, but there was a condition that Uncle Geng must be invited back to take charge of security matters. For this reason, Gu Tianyou had no choice but to ask King Ming again. In the end, Ming Wanjun also made a condition that a batch of disabled brothers of the revenge mercenaries needed to be resettled. Gu Tianyou agreed straightforwardly. With the quality of a Vengeance Mercenary, even disabled veterans possessed qualities that were difficult for ordinary people to compare to.
A few days later, Geng Jianjun brought dozens of disabled and retired revenge mercenaries here. Soon after, Miao Shifan also brought a group of urban construction professionals over. This is good, even the financial rights and security rights can be handed over.
After cutting off the drug business, the gold mine was unable to form an industry for a while. Everything Gu Tianyou did right now was a waste of money. The $1 billion bearer bond has been converted into dollars. There were also those precious stones and antiques that had already been realized. Every day, money was spent like flowing water in exchange for the rapid changes in the entire town. The scale has expanded, the streets have leveled up, the urban construction has the pattern, the hygiene culture and education, the fire fighting entertainment, although the sparrow is small five viscera is complete. Ten thousand retired soldiers from the former Guos Army were all mobilized to participate in the construction of the city.
Looking at the city construction scene in full swing, and thinking about the financial predicament that he might face in the near future, Gu Tianyou realized that it was time to attack the mountain army!
Gu Tianyou consulted Geng Jianjun before deciding to send troops. Originally, he was expected to lead the team personally, but Old Uncle Geng said that he was old. He suggested that if Gu Tianyou wanted to truly control this area, the best way was to use the local people. Zhang Changqing had been standing on this land for many years. He had his reasons. This person had better be captured alive, and he would try his best to reorganize the mountain army.
Gu Tianyou was a little worried. He said, "Zhang Changqing's mountain army's combat strength is not bad. This person is also very good at leading troops. He is not fully confident in eliminating them. Capturing them alive is too difficult."
Geng Jianjun said, "You have fifteen of the most elite members of the Vengeance Mercenary. If you don't even dare to design such a simple beheading mission, it would be a waste of heaven and earth."
Gu Tianyou knew that he had a specialty in magic, so he could only shamelessly say, "You still have to be a veteran general. You should just tell me what specific plans you have."
Geng Jianjun smiled and said, "A-Fan and I have been lost in your hands for the rest of our lives. Call Meng Yi over and I'll give him an explanation."
The plan was not complicated. Meng Yi personally led his men into the mountain army camp and captured Zhang Changqing alive. Gu Tianyou led the Gu Clan Army to draw a net around the perimeter and wait for the opportunity to join forces inside and outside. There are a few links that require very professional and detailed planning. For example, how to sneak in, how to cut off the internal command and communication system of the mountain army, how to lay out the nets on the periphery, how to combine the heavy and light firepower of a thousand-strong team, and how to deal with the resistance at what level. Many details had never been considered by Gu Tianyou in the past.
Just like Miao Shifan had said, a person could not possess all their talents. In this regard, the heavens were fair. Gu Tianyou's greatest talent was his wisdom, tolerance, and ability to use people. Can let nearby person find the stage that exerts ability, and give the most firm trust. With the rapid development of Tianyou City, more and more talents are gathered around Gu Tianyou. They are not only realizing their own life value, but also helping Gu Tianyou realize his life value.
Before the operation, Gu Tianyou received a phone call from Sun Mingshen. The head of the secret service said that the veterans of the ten squadrons were already in position and could be dispatched at any time. Gu Tianyou cried to him. From Lord Long's point of view, he called himself a little brother. He said that his brother had opened up territory for the bureau outside. Almost all of them had paid for it out of their own pockets. This loss was too great. Sun Mingshen said, don't cry poor, this daddy has everything here, except funds! Also, you have to pay for the 1,500 people you sent over.
Gu Tianyou said angrily that Yours Truly had no money to support him!
Sun Mingshen laughed loudly. He said that there will be a big game in the domestic capital market next month. The national team will come out to stabilize the market. I will notify you ten minutes before the exact start of the attack. If you can't even make money, then buy a piece of tofu and die. He might really have no money, but as long as he was willing, a single sentence could make a person a billionaire in a day.
Gu Tianyou asked about the murder of Cheng Guilin's son's bodyguard. Sun Mingshen said that this case has been handed over to the special investigation team of your ministry, Elder Li, to investigate, The forensic examination showed that the cause of death of the three people was indeed due to the external force causing the reverse deformation of the cervical vertebrae. I found out that the person who attacked was Cao Xuehua, but this person has already absconded. In the absence of any other direct evidence, Long Jianmei is the only suspect.
Gu Tianyou said, "In that case, she can't go back for the time being. What about me?"
