Chapter 84 Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger (2)
Do not make any public family scandals publicly. Even though Wang Chao wanted to swallow all the hindrances of the guys who were in trouble in private, this does not mean that it is very comfortable to be exposed by outsiders in person. Hearing Wu Han's words that were so straightforward that Wang Chao immediately became gloomy with his old face, he said unwillingly:
"Oh, so what?"
It stops when the click is reached, too much is too little. Wu Han knew that he could no longer stimulate someone, and he should stop when he saw it was almost good. He smiled and said:
"Haha, it's nothing. I mean, it's easy to discuss the price. If you continue to scramble, it's really meaningless. Are you thinking that's the reason?"
At present, Taohuayuan has survived that difficult period of hovering on the brink of famine, and with the aliens, the productivity level has turned up a few times. Although compared with the mining protection team and Hongliu Company, Taohuayuan's power is still weak, but at least it has been flattened to the same order of magnitude competitors. Wu Han has no longer to swallow everything like before. When his strength is not good, keeping a low profile is a good way to endure and accumulate strength. However, when he has considerable strength, he must take the initiative to show that the situation is different from the past. Otherwise, pretending to be a grandson will not only be discredited by others, but also make his own people feel too embarrassed.
As the saying goes, Feng Shui will change and you will arrive at my house next year. Wang Chao is not surprised that Wu Han is showing such strong attitude now. Steel is the foundation of all industries and of course the lifeblood of military industry. Since Taohuayuan masters such advanced metallurgical technology, it is equivalent to having self-pride capital. Wu Han is just a little arrogant, which is understandable.
Thinking through the pros and cons of this business, Wang Chao laughed loudly and said:
"Okay, let's talk about the price!"
After several rounds of verbal confrontation, the two sides finally finalized the recent barter trade price of steel. Waiting for the dust to settle, Wu Han smiled and said:
"Music brings wealth! There are still many places to rely on the captain in the future, so don't refuse."
Although he has no experience in making iron and forging steel, Wang Chao is still an insider at least. He laughed loudly when he heard the sound, patted Wu Han's shoulder hard, and said:
"Brother Wu, you can come to me first because we are sitting on a boat. I have to say ugly words in front of Hongliu Company... I have to be more careful!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Han nodded with a smile. Wang Chao understood what Wang Chao meant. For Taohuayuan, which has mastered steelmaking technology, there are iron ore in the north, while there are more iron ore in the south. It should be noted that in the southern part of the northeast, the famous coal-iron zone is the location of one of the few large steel joint ventures in the world that can be compared with the Ruhr area and Pittsburgh. Although the situation of the steel enterprises here was not very good in the pre-war period, this decline was more due to human factors and had nothing to do with geographical and mineral advantages.
I heard that Hongliu Company's progress in the south has long been extended to this coal-iron zone, and Fengshuo has begun to try to resume mining production to meet the needs of self-use steel and coal.
If Wu Han had not always been highly vigilant about Hongliu Company, it might be more convenient to spend more money and time on the mine protection team and exchange steel for raw materials such as iron ore from Hongliu Company.
Although the territory of the mine protection team is also adjacent to the actual control area of Taohuayuan, they are also next to the deadly star of Hongliu Company, and it is unlikely that the mine protection team will attack the remote and closed Taohuayuan. There are fewer people dispatched, although they are delivering vegetables to Wu Han and sending too many people, I am afraid that Hongliu Company will not watch the old enemies pass by the door of their own. In summary, Wu Han is still relatively at ease with the mine protection team. At least before Wang Chao distinguishes himself from Hongliu Company, no matter how badly he is, the mine protection team cannot fight with Taohuayuan. Therefore, Wang Chao may not want to do the annexation of Taohuayuan, but objective conditions do not allow him to do so.
Although the strength of the mine protection team is different now and they don’t look down on this former ally of Peach Blossom Garden, since they cannot destroy the other party, they must consider coexistence, and Wang Chao does not have to push Wu Han to Hongliu Company.
Seeing that Wu Han understood his hint, Wang Chao smiled with satisfaction and said:
"Brother, you are here this time. You must have a drink with me for two drinks. We will never return without getting drunk."
Wu Han agreed with a smile, without any surprise. Drinking alcohol has almost become a routine for the mining protection team every time. Even in the most unpleasant grain purchase operation, Wu Han drank three whole bottles of white wine to be finished. Since his body mutated, Wu Han has found that his body has become abnormally insensitive to narcotics, saying it is alcohol. Even if the powerful anesthetic that can numb the elephant and use it on him, the effect is probably not very good.
It is easy to avoid open guns, but difficult to prevent hidden arrows. Wu Han, who has always been cautious in doing things, never tells others about all kinds of special things about himself. Even if he feels like drinking strong wine, he is no different from drinking white water. He has already made a slightly drunk posture instead of exposing his abnormality.
Under the influence of natural factors such as long winter and cold climate, people in Northeast China have developed the custom of using alcohol to drive away the cold very early, especially when the door is closed on heavy snow on the 39th day, they have made an appointment with friends at home to ask their wife to warm a pot of pure grain and drink it together, which is a great pleasure in life. People in Northeast China who are good at wine appreciate those red-faced men who are good at drinking and are refreshing in their work. Wu Han always drinks wine, and the generous spirit of others who never shirk responsibility when they come to toast, which really left a deep impression on the people of the mine protection team. For example, the reckless man Niu Dali who was severely repaired by Wu Han when he first met, now he admires Wu Han's alcohol tolerance.
In the eyes of such a stubborn person, people who have much more alcohol and strength than themselves are naturally tough characters worthy of admiration.
After the nuclear war, this broken world gradually moved from complete chaos to local restoration of order. In locations like the location of Taohuayuan and the Mining Protection Team, the stability of daily life can even be compared with the pre-war period. People cannot feel the threat of death from monsters and the embarrassment brought about by the shortage of materials.
With Wang Chao's kindness, Wu Han and several people who came with the same car received the gift of VIPs. The richness of the banquet was also a luxury that ordinary survivors of this era could not imagine.
"Come on, come on, come on. The old rules, I'll have it all in one go."
Hearing the sound, Wu Han smiled and picked up one of the many wine glasses lined up in front of him, and tilted his head cleanly and drank it all, then picked up the second and third cups. The amount of these three wines was almost one pound. For those with a slightly worse alcohol content, they immediately got under the table after the three cups of wine. Wu Han did not change his face, and the rich men who accompanied him immediately cheered in unison. Most people only dared to see and not learn to drink. Then, they also picked up their own wine glasses and had a drink, which was considered as a accompanying person.
As time passed quietly, the sky outside became late without realizing it.
As the banquet ends, the people who attend the banquet return to their fullest. If they have to drink unconsciousness and then be carried away before they are taken away, there is no problem at all.
After the banquet was dispersed, Wu Han, who was the guest of the host, had a secret conversation with Wang Chao, as the landlord, for a while, then he staggered onto the off-road vehicle. According to the agreement, the rear half of the car was filled with iron ore and thick iron extracted by the mine protection team. Wu Han glanced at it briefly, turned around and waved his hand to say goodbye to the people who came to see him off, and then started the car and drove forward. There were no traffic police these days, and he said he was driving under the influence of drunkenness and no one cared about you if he was willing to run naked. Anyway, there would definitely be no pedestrians on the road.
Rather than worrying about hitting an innocent passerby, those unscrupulous drivers driving drunk are more reliable to worry about whether they can still return home in a hurry after intimate contact with hard objects such as big trees.
When the car drove away from the mine protection team's territory, Wu Han's drunkenness swept away. He squinted his eyes and said to his confidant Mi Long, who was accompanying him:
"Wang Chao, a smiling tiger, is really hard to deal with."
Hearing the sound, Mi Long immediately beat the snake and followed the stick, and said:
"Oh, let him be like a traitor, and in the end he drank your old foot wash water."
"Don't be busy flattering. How did you do that when you told you before you came?"
Wu Han's goal was too big, and every move was watched by others. He had expected in advance that he could not escape the surveillance of the mine protection team. Mi Long and other small shrimps were not much weight in the eyes of the mine protection team, and their actions were relatively free. After just three tours, Mi Long tried the words of the people who were drinking with him according to the secret mission assigned by Wu Han, and then sneaked into the headquarters of the mine protection team for careful recreation, and now he has first-hand information.
At this time, Mi Long said with great confidence:
"I've found out clearly. They must have had no major changes recently. In addition, I haven't heard of anyone seeing UFOs, so there shouldn't be any."
When he heard this, Wu Han closed his eyes silently, nodded slowly, and then he didn't say anything later.
The off-road vehicle left the mine protection team's territory, and Wu Han and his group did not return to Peach Blossom Land as the same way, but turned the front of the car and headed straight for the Hongliu Company's base camp. Although Wang Chao's background was almost touched, Meng Shenji had no accurate letter yet. He had to grab both hands, and both hands were hard!
As the common mist rising at dawn in autumn, the melodious and melodious insects and birds that should have existed were not heard in the bleak mountains after the locust plague, but there was only a dead silent silence.
In the hazy morning mist, Wu Han was wearing a camouflage net, holding a portable telescope, peeking through the gaps in the forest to see the movements of the Torrent Company concentration camp below. Of course, he hoped to see some clues as soon as possible so as not to squat like this aimlessly.
