Chapter 93 Visit
Looking at the unfriendly eyes around him, Zhang Hao smiled hesitantly.
Putting down the tea, he said leisurely but somewhat proudly: "I think that although there are many products of the Artifact Refining Guild, they can be divided into two major parts.
The first part, including flying swords, shields, talismans, etc., are all common; each family may have differences, but not much.
The second part is some strange weapons, some magical treasures with strange functions, talisman seals, formation flags, etc.
We can jointly invest and set up factories for flying swords, shields, talismans, etc.
As for special weapons, magic weapons, talisman seals, etc., each family still produces independently. "
Zhou Jue nodded, but still asked: "What's the point of uniform production of flying swords, shields, talismans, etc.?"
Zhang Hao's face became serious: "Unified production, we can gather the technological advantages of each family, avoid repeated waste, and realize large-scale and centralized production.
According to Zhang's experience in large-scale smelting black iron, the cost of mass production is lower and the quality is higher.
So, higher profits! "
Zhou Jue thought for a while, then shook his head: "Sorry, I have never seen large-scale production. That... please forgive me, it seems that only the Zhang family has achieved large-scale production now. I don’t know, can you let us visit ?”
Zhou Jue, this is "borrowing the public for personal gain"!
Everyone's eyes suddenly brightened.
In fact, everyone is very curious about the Zhang family, but they are all too embarrassed to speak up.
The Zhang family now dares to boast that they can provide the country with five thousand tons of black iron with a purity of 95% in two months. The black iron production capacity of a family of the Zhang family has the total output of the whole country in the past.
So everyone is very curious about Zhang's production base.
Zhang Shengye frowned, but didn't say anything, but looked at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao looked at the second uncle, then sat in the chair, picked up the tea, and meditated.
In the lobby, there was silence for a while, only the sound of Zhang Hao sipping tea.
After a long while, Zhang Hao let out a sigh of relief: "If you want to visit, you can."
really can!
Several people couldn't help standing up excitedly.
"However, several conditions must be agreed."
Zhou Jue couldn't wait, and his words were filled with excitement: "Brother Shi, please tell me."
What Zhou Jue wanted to see most was how the Zhang family produced black iron for alchemy.
Zhang Hao put down the tea, sat up straight, scanned everyone around, then stretched out his right index finger, and said slowly: "First, visitors must completely obey the Zhang family's arrangements. Otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
The words are very light, but the murderous intent is awe-inspiring. The current Zhang Hao is qualified to say this. And Feng Zhiling is still a guest at the Zhang family, so he has the ability to do it.
Everyone didn't speak, but Zhang Hao didn't need them to speak either.
You can only agree to the conditions I said. If you don't agree, don't go.
Zhang Hao continued to stretch out his second finger: "Second, the cultivation of the visitors must not exceed the peak of the Jindan period. The Zhang family's ability is limited, please understand."
Having said that, Zhang Hao looked at Zhou Jue with dark eyes. The conditions Zhou Jue raised last time made Zhang Hao very vigilant. Want to visit now? There are no windows!
Sure enough, Zhou Jue's complexion changed.
But the rest of the major families, representatives, etc., have nothing.
Zhang Hao paused for a moment, then stretched out three fingers: "Third, there are no more than 20 visitors each time. Only the first group returns to the county, and the other group can leave. Visitors are limited to members of the guild. Each family, Businesses, etc., a maximum of 5 people are allowed."
Then, there were four fingers: "Everyone must swear that everything they see must not be passed on to outsiders. Just know it yourself."
"That's all. Do you have any questions?"
Mu Yingying was the first to speak: "I have one. If the visitors are less than the golden core stage, can we have more?"
Zhang Hao nodded: "This is fine. One of the golden core stage, or ten of the foundation establishment stage and below."
"Then I don't have any."
Zhou Jue had the worst complexion. But seeing that there was no objection from the crowd, he could only grit his teeth and nod. But he has opinions in his heart.
Zhang Hao said to Zhou Jue apologetically, "If you are interested, brother, please invite him to visit another day."
Zhou Jue's face looked better now.
Then Zhang Hao and Zhang Shengye said goodbye, and said that tomorrow they would invite the first group of people to visit; tonight, the Zhang family will go back to prepare.
After leaving the Artifact Refining Guild, Zhang Shengye finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Little mouse, how can you allow them to visit? Also, if we visit this time, we will definitely be affected, and many things will have to be suspended."
Zhang Hao looked at the bustling street and smiled. "Second uncle, let's talk about it when we go back tonight."
Picked up Zhang Shengde from Xuantie Guild, brought the guards, and the group quickly returned home.
At home, Zhang Shengde directly dragged Zhang Hao to the study room, and together with Zhang Shengye, looked at Zhang Hao with scrutiny.
Zhang Hao was very honest. He stood up and didn't sit down, so he began to explain: "Father, Second Uncle, the appearance of the Han family is a signal. That is, our family's secret may not be kept for long.
Dad also said before that eating alone is the most taboo. The changes in the Zhang family have already aroused jealousy.
Although due to various reasons, mainly because I became a disciple of Xuanzhen Sect, everyone dare not act rashly. No one dared to be the first bird.
But greed, sooner or later, will break through reason.
The Zhang family is too small, but they have huge wealth; now, they can even smelt black iron for alchemy.
Zhou Jue's condition before was also a warning. Nine Suns Sect, I'm afraid they can't sit still anymore. "
After Zhang Hao said this, Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye gradually calmed down; soon, worried expressions began to appear on their faces.
Zhang Shengde hesitated for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"It's very simple, attract a group of people and let everyone form a community of interests. And with technology as the core and factories as the carrier, a new type of group that can compete with families and sects will be born.
And the Zhang family must control the right to speak of this group! "
Zhang Shengde stared at Zhang Hao, and after hearing Zhang Hao's words, Zhang Shengde was shocked - such a huge ambition!
Zhang Hao didn't seem to notice it, and continued: "There is another point. The development and progress of technology requires communication and application. Our technology needs a broader application market.
Just producing black iron has already hindered the development of the Zhang family.
In the next step, the Zhang family will sell standard instruments such as bearings, steam turbines, profiles, and high-precision measuring tools. "
Zhang Shengye has an opinion: "Our family doesn't have much technology now, and if it is disclosed, it will be less."
Zhang Hao shook his head: "Second Uncle, what I need is a family that can move forward bravely and keep forging ahead, not a family that stands still and stands still.
The world is always changing and improving. The only constant is 'change' itself.
If the Zhang family wants to rise, they must take the initiative to embrace change and even lead it.
And to do this, some sacrifices are inevitable.
Growth always has a price.
If a sapling wants to grow into a towering giant tree, it is inevitable to prune the branches and replace the old branches and leaves. Only dead wood will cherish every leaf. "
Zhang Shengde frowned and thought for a long time before he gradually tasted the samadhi in Zhang Hao's words.
Suddenly Zhang Shengde smiled, "Xiaohao, the family will be handed over to you from now on. Father must practice with all his strength and strive to reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul as soon as possible."
This decision was a bit sudden, and Zhang Hao was stunned for a while. Only then did he suddenly feel an invisible and heavy pressure on his shoulders.
Zhang Hao nodded seriously: "I will try my best. If there is something wrong, please correct me directly."
"Of course." Zhang Shengde and Zhang Shengye said in unison.
"Now there is one thing that I need to trouble my father to go to personally. Go to the Xuantie Guild and tell everyone that the Zhang family is going to open for inspection."
