Chapter 34 You Will Lose Me
What is Zhang Hao's method?
Simply put, it is: mergers and acquisitions!
The most correct way for business development is not to let opponents die without a place to bury them, but for the big fish to eat the small fish—mergers and acquisitions of opponents and even related industries to increase their own size! Turn former business partners into subordinates.
Of course, this merger is not blind.
The Zhang family is now in a period of expansion. The Zhang family needs a large number of craftsmen, guards, sales channels, and many, many.
If you develop yourself a little bit, it will be very difficult. But if reasonable mergers and acquisitions, the family can grow rapidly.
However, because these families and businesses are making too much noise, Zhang Hao is not ready to 'be a good person'.
Therefore, Zhang Hao finally said: "We need to lower the price! We need to lower the price fiercely! And we want to acquire a complete set of products, including their craftsmen, technology, mineral resources, sales channels, etc.
But their debts, etc., we will not bear at all!
If we can control a large number of craftsmen, black iron resource areas, sales channels, etc. in our own hands, then... the entire Ninghe County will tremble under our hands! "
"Let me do this!" Zhang Shengde's eyes burst into brilliant light.
After Zhang Hao's simple explanation, Zhang Shengde immediately had more plans in mind. "Perhaps, we can increase the pressure on the market while negotiating and lowering prices with these small and medium-sized families and business firms."
Zhang Hao nodded: "At first, I wanted to unite everyone to form the Black Iron Alliance and so on, so that everyone can develop together. But since they don't know how to repent, there is no need to consider them.
Father, the idea of the Black Iron Alliance cannot be given up yet, it is related to the future development of the family. "
"Then I'll go find those large commercial firms, families, etc."
"No, we'll wait until they beg us!" Zhang Hao smiled a little, "When the merger is over, we can expand the production scale again. At that time, the price of black iron will be further reduced.
However, this time we should properly release a little wind to let everyone know what to do. "
"I'll make arrangements." Zhang Shengde was full of confidence.
While talking, the guard at the door suddenly came to report: "Patriarch, someone sent a letter just now, saying it is from Yeyue Tower."
Zhang Shengde took the letter, but did not open it directly, but turned around and entered the room, manipulated the flying sword to open the envelope, and started reading after making sure there was no danger.
The letter is about the intelligence about the riots of the common people yesterday. Sure enough, it was the work of a few small and medium-sized families and commercial firms, and the representatives of these families were present at the scene.
The price was given at the end of the letter. Because this information was investigated separately, it was a little expensive. 1800 spirit stones will be directly deducted from the credit for the previous purchase of black iron.
Zhang Shengde rubbed his hands lightly, and the letter turned into fly ash. Among the flying ashes, Zhang Shengde sneered, "Very good, so I don't have to worry about making a move."
After leaving the house, facing the angry people in the yard, Zhang Shengde started his performance:
I deeply regret this kind of thing, but the Zhang family is not an irresponsible family, so we will invest heavily and wholly acquire several families or commercial firms, and settle the settlement with Lingshi. I will wait here for three days, and everyone has three days to think about it.
As soon as Zhang Shengde's words came out, there was a burst of exclamation.
Someone immediately asked, how many are the Zhang family planning to buy?
Zhang Shengde said: For the time being, the Zhang family can take out 30,000 high-level spirit stones. As for how many families can be acquired, I am not sure.
Thirty thousand high-level spirit stones, this is typical fishing, with more wolves and less meat.
Zhang Hao watched silently. I may have some peculiar ideas, but in terms of methods, I still have a little distance from Zhang Shengde.
In a few words, Zhang Shengde created a sense of urgency in various families and businesses: three days, 30,000 high-level spirit stones.
This is forcing everyone to make a decision as soon as possible.
In an instant, everyone who had collectively targeted the Zhang family before began to plan separately.
"A plate of loose sand! No climate!" Zhang Hao commented silently, only Zhang Shengde could hear his voice.
Zhang Shengde nodded: "So, the idea of combining them and forming the Black Iron Alliance before, thankfully it didn't work out.
If you want to form the Black Iron Alliance, you need to find those big business houses, families, etc.
Just in time, take advantage of this acquisition opportunity to put some pressure on these families and commercial firms. "
…………
Before noon, Zhang Hao had already brought his family team and waited in front of the City Lord's Mansion.
Then, the princess's female guard came out and said, the princess is practicing and she hasn't woken up yet, so wait a minute.
Zhang Hao: ...
Sure enough, success is no fluke, and the young Nascent Soul mid-stage master didn't just fall out of thin air. It seems that I will not be able to sleep late in the future.
Under the scorching sun, Zhang Hao stood quietly at the city gate for more than an hour.
People came and went, but Zhang Hao greeted everyone with a smile, whether he knew them or not.
Zhang Hao didn't sit down because he wanted to show his sincerity.
Learn to be polite (humility) when you haven't grown up yet.
At around the last hour (13:30), the female guard came out again, seeing that Zhang Hao was still standing there without moving his footsteps, and his tone softened, "The princess will come out soon.
Later, you lead the way, and the rest follow behind. "
"Thank you sister."
"Hmph!" The female guard glared at Zhang Hao, but she didn't get angry.
Zhang Hao was a little complacent. The female guard was estimated to be no less than fifty years old. Although her practice had delayed aging, the vicissitudes in the corners of her eyes could not be concealed.
Did this 'sister' make her regain her lost youth~~~
After a while, the main entrance of the City Lord's Mansion opened, and the first to appear were two rows of slaying black-armored long-armed warriors. Seeing these people, Zhang Hao suddenly shuddered, as if he saw a group of demons crawling out of hell. There seemed to be the wailing of dead souls on the gleaming spear.
Behind it was a simple and heavy carriage, four tall maroon horses held their heads high, stomping proudly, advancing slowly. The horse's hoof stepped on the stone slab, and Zhang Hao faintly felt the trembling of the ground under his feet like a muffled stone drum.
These healthy horses are obviously not comparable to the ordinary healthy horses of the Zhang family.
Behind the shaft of the carriage, two guards, a man and a woman, were sitting holding swords, their eyes narrowed slightly, as if they could violently kill someone at any time.
In the center is a rickety old man, who seems to be sleeping but not sleeping, driving four strong horses. The four fierce horses drove side by side without any confusion.
Behind them are two pairs of black-armored Changge warriors.
The female guard who had just been called "sister" by Zhang Hao led Zhang Hao to the side of the carriage, and a guard led two healthy horses beside her.
Zhang Hao got on the horse with trepidation, but the fear of getting off the horse did not happen.
"Let's go." The princess's faint voice came from the carriage, but it could be heard clearly within a hundred meters.
The team slowly left the county. When they were on the road, the princess suddenly asked Zhang Hao:
"Zhang Hao, I'm a little curious about the Zhang family's black iron production method."
"Oh." Zhang Hao responded, and there was no more to say.
The princess waited for a while, and frowned a little: "You don't want to say something?"
"It is the Zhang family's honor to make Her Royal Highness curious."
"What if I want to see it?"
"Then you will lose me." Zhang Hao said casually.
But as soon as he finished speaking, his heart began to twitch: I'm going to suffer, this flamboyant problem, why did it cramp at this time.
