Volume 33 Chapter 12 Arriving at Yingzhou
Zhang Tie got off the airship and looked at the surrounding environment. The scale of this airship take-off and landing base is not very large, a bit like a private airship base...
Surrounded by green trees outside the airship base, the mountains are full of flowers and full of spring, while inside the airship take-off and landing base, just in the distance, several exquisite buildings and yards are looming in the shade of trees.
This is outside the city, not inside the city.
A black car was already waiting at the hatch of the airship, and the pilot and a middle-aged man with a round face were standing there waiting.
"Elder Mu Shen, I am the shopkeeper of the Yingzhou branch of the Golden Crow Merchant Group, and my name is Zhang Cheng!"
Before Zhang Tie could speak, the middle-aged man with a round face took the initiative to introduce.
Zhang Tie nodded. He had never seen this person before, but since his surname was Zhang and he was able to hold the position of shopkeeper of a state in the Golden Crow Merchant Group, this person should be from Huaiyuantang in all likelihood.
Regardless of whether it is feudal or conservative, the facts from the cataclysm to the present have proved that no matter when, people from the same family and blood relations are much more reliable than outsiders. Therefore, in many key positions In fact, not only the Golden Crow Merchant Group, but the entire Taixia wealthy family is using people from their own family. The so-called professional managers are also useful, but most of them are only for small business groups that are just starting out. Compared with large-scale families and large business groups, such families themselves will cultivate There are a large number of professional shopkeepers (professional managers), and the abilities of the professional shopkeepers cultivated by these families range from high to low. Those with high abilities will naturally go up, and those with low abilities will not be wasted.
Judging by the shrewd and slick look in Zhang Cheng's eyes, he should be a professional shopkeeper trained by the family.
"Where is this place?"
"This is the branch of the Golden Crow Merchant Group outside Yingzhou City. The hotel has been arranged. Elder Mu Shen is exhausted. Let's take a rest today. I will go to Fan's house to send Elder Mu Shen tonight." Greetings, tell them that you are here, and let the Fan family make preparations, Elder Mu Shenmu can visit the Fan family tomorrow!" Zhang Cheng's two simple and concise sentences have already explained Zhang Tie's itinerary and details in Yingzhou. arranged.
Zhang Tie didn't speak, and walked to the front of the car. The driver in uniform opened the door like Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie sat in the back of the car, while Zhang Cheng and the driver sat in the front.
With a slight movement of the car, it drove directly out of the airship base...
The road outside the branch of the Jinwu Merchant Group is spacious and flat. There are green belts in the middle and both sides of the two-way six-lane road. Because this is outside the city, there are not many cars on the road. Outside those green belts, you can also see a Pieces of farmland and villages and towns, most of the houses in the villages and towns are neat and beautiful, and there are many small courtyards with single families. Just from this, Zhang Tie knows that Yingzhou is the economic development level of Taixia continent. And the standard of living is far higher than that of Youzhou, which has just been upgraded to an institutional system.
Zhang Tie has also traveled to many places in the Weiyi subcontinent, especially after becoming Goras, Zhang Tie almost turned the Weiyi subcontinent around, and said a word from the person in charge, the entire Weiyi subcontinent There is no place that can compare with this place in the appearance of rural areas and villages and towns outside.
The achievements of a place after hundreds of years of stability and development are indeed shocking, especially the Chinese are still a hardworking, intelligent and creative nation. After hundreds of years of peace, the entire Taixia State And many places in Upstate, the prosperity has exceeded the limit of the imagination of many people from the subcontinent.
What Zhang Tie saw in Haozhou when he passed by last month is an example.
"It's nice here!" Sitting in the car,
While looking at the scenery outside the window, Zhang Tie chatted with Zhang Cheng. To these ordinary people, Zhang Tie had never put on airs and would not make people feel any distance.
"Huaiyuan City is even better than here!" Zhang Cheng was sitting in the front co-pilot's seat, and when he heard Zhang Tie speak, he turned around politely, and sat on the seat with half of his buttocks sideways to talk to Zhang Tie.
Elder Mu Shen is amiable and amiable, but the people below know how to measure.
"I heard that Huaiyuan City is also a Grade A city?"
"Not bad!" Having said this, Zhang Cheng's tone became a little proud, "There are 137 first-class cities in Yingzhou, and Huaiyuan City is one of them. With such a business card and name as Huaiyuan City, these When the Golden Crow Merchant Group was doing business abroad, as long as we said that Huaiyuan City and the Golden Crow Merchant Group belonged to our Zhang family, in many cases, we would be able to win the trust of others as quickly as possible, and at the same time solve a lot of troublesome things!"
Zhang Cheng's words quietly explained the connotation of "family influence" and "Grade A city influence" in Taixia.
If it is said that people are used to looking at their faces, then in shopping malls, for these large business groups, the cities owned by their families are another face.
Hearing what Zhang Cheng said, Zhang Tie suddenly had the idea of going to Huaiyuantang, a first-class city in Yingzhou, to see it. It seems that Huaiyuan City is only more than 3,000 kilometers away from Fuhai City. After finishing the business in Fuhai City, You can stop by on the way home to have a look, and it won't take long.
Duke Huaiyuan was forced to leave Taixia back then, but the descendants of Duke Huaiyuan were thinking about how to return every day. Huaiyuan City was exactly the nail that Huaiyuantang firmly nailed in Taixia.
"Is the business of the Golden Crow Merchant Group doing well this year?"
"After the head of the family became the governor of Youzhou, the business of the Golden Crow Merchant Group and the Changfeng Merchant Group has become much easier!" Zhang Cheng said somewhat implicitly.
This should belong to another business card, but this business card can only be conveyed but cannot be expressed in words. The so-called business, in addition to making money for both parties, has another biggest function, which is to build relationships. Being able to establish a relationship with the family business group of Yizhou governor and cooperate together, this point is quite tempting for many business groups in Taixia. You don't need it now, but can you guarantee that you won't need it in the future? This point has been the same from ancient times to the present, from Taixia to those barren lands or the Western Continent. No matter where the background of the ruling class is placed, people will not be underestimated.
Zhang Tie also smiled, and didn't say anything more...
Zhang Tie stopped talking, and Zhang Cheng seemed to want to say something, but he seemed hesitant to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Zhang Tie asked proactively.
"The Tun Party has great influence in Yingzhou. Except for our Huaiyuan City, among the other 136 Grade-A cities in Yingzhou, there is a Tun Party's moral society. Although Fuhai City is not a Grade-A city, it is There is also a moral society here. There are remote sensing communication links between Tundang's moral societies, and the news is very well-informed. Many big families and wealthy children in Yingzhou have joined the moral society, and ordinary people have joined more. Spontaneously donating money and materials to the Moral Society, the Moral Society has a very strong foundation from top to bottom in Yingzhou, and the Moral Society in Yingzhou should have known about Elder Mu Shen's feud with the Tun Party. Some time ago, the moral society in Youzhou was smashed, and the power of swallowing the party was almost wiped out from Youzhou in a short period of time. The moral society in Yingzhou was still excited for a while, and some people were clamoring to go north. The Elder God came to Yingzhou this time, and we have to be careful if the backbone of the party-swallowing club in Yingzhou's moral society will make something happen!"
Hearing this, Zhang Tie's face turned serious. When he was in Youzhou, to be honest, he really didn't feel the power of Tundang and Daodeshe among the people. He didn't expect that the situation would be reversed in Yingzhou. up.
Today's Tun Party is so powerful and deeply rooted in Taixia, it's really frightening.
Zhang Cheng's words woke Zhang Tie up, and also made Zhang Tie's heart skip a beat.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Tie calmed down again. Those guys just lost a Zhou Tian Yushi in his hands, and he is not an official now. Don't those guys dare to come to trouble him?
Then don't blame yourself for being rude.
...
The hotel arranged by the Golden Crow Merchant Group for Zhang Tie is naturally the best and most advanced hotel in Fuhai City.
The hotel is called Guanlan, and it is just outside Fuhai City near the seaside, with beautiful scenery around, and it is not far from Fuhai City.
In the Hawaiian subcontinent, most of the prosperous places and luxury hotels are in the city, protected by high walls, but in Taixia, it is not known whether it is out of self-confidence or because it has not been baptized by war for hundreds of years. Even in places that cannot be protected by city walls, there are still large areas of prosperity. Especially for some cities that are not first-tier cities, these cities have not had time to expand and upgrade, and the surrounding areas of the cities have developed rapidly. In some places, the outside of the city walls is even more prosperous than the inside of the city walls.
The cost of bringing these places under the protection of the city wall is frighteningly high, and the planning and construction of the city are a huge problem. Over time, it will be up to him.
Zhang Tie’s room is on a small artificial hillside of the Guanlan Hotel. It is the Tianzi No. 7 suite of the hotel—the Tianzihao room of the Taixia Hotel, which is somewhat equivalent to the presidential suite in other places—the size of Zhang Tie’s room More than 3,000 square meters, the room has all kinds of facilities and functions, and the furnishings inside are also extremely luxurious. There are three large and small swimming pools in this room, two of which are outdoors. You can see them from the balcony and on the half slope There is an ocean view, and one is indoors, connected to the master bedroom.
The daily price of such a room is 24 gold coins. This price is naturally extremely expensive for ordinary people, but it doesn't feel much to the Golden Crow Merchant Group and Zhang Tie.
In fact, Zhang Tie didn't have high requirements for things like food and clothing, just passable, but Zhang Tie liked the sea view and surrounding environment of this hotel, so he stayed here.
Zhang Cheng also arranged for a special car and two business group guards to follow Zhang Tie's call at the hotel. After Zhang Tie settled down, he took a name card and went to Fuhai City according to etiquette. To the Fan family...
Almost as soon as Zhang Cheng left, an unexpected guest arrived...
