桂 Mengjun stayed in Dragon City for only two days before secretly heading to Kasalo with the Tongji Association to meet with Zhao Weihu.

In fact, before coming, Gui Mengjun knew in his heart that Lao Li would definitely not agree to his request now. However, relationships rely on interaction, and many things need to be paved the way. Therefore, he didn't care much about the result, only about the process.

Gui Mengjun's personal visit here deepened the relationship with Li Mingsheng's team and also showed the direction of cooperation he wanted in the future. The goal was basically achieved.

...

To be honest, it is very tiring to deal with people like Lao Li. Due to the particularity of their identities, many words cannot be said clearly, and communication is full of testing and implicitness. Therefore, after a dinner party, all that remains is exhaustion.

However, dealing with people like Zhao Weihu is more refreshing. The latter is full of Jianghu spirit. In addition, his position is relatively free, and he doesn't have to look at anyone's face except the Renmin Army government. He speaks directly and simply, 1 is 1, and 2 is 2, which is very pleasant.

Recently, the rebel army has been retreating steadily, and the Chi Army has also been very quiet. When Gui Mengjun, Yu Mingyuan, Su Tianyu and others came, Zhao Weihu had more personal time, so the two sides could have more frequent contact.

Beside a natural lake in the Chi Army's garrison area, everyone sat on the shore fishing, and the atmosphere was quite cheerful.

"When are you getting married? Big brother?!" Su Tianyu asked Yu Mingyuan, holding a fishing rod, "You've been engaged for more than a year, why isn't there any movement?"

"You also know that Xiaorou went to the First District for further study last year and only came back this April." Yu Mingyuan took a sip of water and said, "It's coming soon, she's arranging the new house, I guess it's either this month or next month."

"Damn, are you moving out?" Dabai, who is loved by both men and women, was a little disappointed when he heard this.

Yu Mingyuan smiled: "Not necessarily, both she and I are very busy. She is in the army and has to live outside the district for a long time. I'm running the association and don't have time to run between the two places, so I may still live in our old nest most of the time."

"Married and separated?" Dabai squinted at Yu Mingyuan: "Hey, tell the brothers the truth, what do you think of Wen Xiaorou...!"

This is probably what only Dabai dares to ask, and he asked it so directly.

Yu Mingyuan understood what Dabai meant, paused slightly and replied, "I'm not like you, you love every person you see and are full of energy; but I'm the slow-burn type. I really didn't feel anything for Xiaorou at the beginning, but now that we've been together for a long time, I like her, I love her very much."

"That's good. After all, marriage is not playing poker. As long as both parties are happy." Dabai commented like an old professor, "A lifetime thing should be taken seriously, just like me and Wawa, I really want to use my life's energy to love her...!"

"Get lost!"

"Then congratulations!" Zhou Tonghui patted Yu Mingyuan on the shoulder: "I'll be your best man then."

"Forget it, I won't use either you or Dabai, you two are too dirty." Yu Mingyuan waved his hand: "It's not very auspicious!"

Zhou Tonghui didn't argue: "How about I wash myself?!"

"Haha!"

A group of brothers laughed loudly.

Not far away on the shore, Gui Mengjun and Zhao Weihu sat side by side, with no one else around.

Zhao Weihu held a cigarette in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right, and asked softly, "President Gui, there are no outsiders here, just say what you want to say directly."

"Hehe." Gui Mengjun grinned and slowly replied, "Actually, the matter is simple, it's just a matter of investment."

"Speak."

"Commander Zhao, the Renmin Army has been making great strides recently and has the momentum to kill the rebel army." Gui Mengjun said softly; "For businessmen, there are more opportunities here. My idea is, if you can talk to the higher-ups and we can have a deeper economic cooperation, wouldn't that be great?"

"How deep?" Zhao Weihu asked.

"Infrastructure investment, mineral development, resource trade." Gui Mengjun turned his head to look at the other party: "This matter requires the Renmin Army government to nod and give us a relatively stable environment and some privileges, then we can bring the money."

Zhao Weihu frowned and thought for a long time: "What benefits does the Renmin Army get?"

"On the military side, we will increase the output of goods, and the price will be lower, and we can even provide some technical support." Gui Mengjun paused and said with a smile: "To put it this way, if you want to build a military airport, we can find someone to do it."

Zhao Weihu nodded slowly: "Then what benefits do I get?"

"I'm talking about your side." Gui Mengjun looked at him with his eyes: "Without you, we might... not be contacting the Renmin Army like this."

"Haha!" Zhao Weihu laughed: "Am I that important?"

"Very important." Gui Mengjun nodded.

"As long as you are willing, I can give you support with money and military equipment." Gui Mengjun added.

Zhao Weihu looked at him: "Let me change my flag?"

"No, no, not so early, not so urgent."

"...My bottom line is that I can cooperate, but I don't accept anyone's incorporation." Zhao Weihu replied very directly: "Carrying a gun to eat is nothing more than making the brothers live better, not being bullied, not being controlled, and not being forced to commit suicide by a collective charge because of some order."

Gui Mengjun nodded as he looked at him: "I can understand. But my meaning is not that deep."

"Let's talk about benefits. If you want to get in touch with the government army, that's okay, I can introduce you from the middle." Zhao Weihu paused and said, "In addition to the income from resources outside the district, I'll take 10% of the other trade to support the troops, what do you think?"

"Isn't that a bit too much?!"

"There is a Chinese living town in my defense zone, and I want to build it up, but I don't have the money." Zhao Weihu turned his head and said, "This is the bottom line, which is equivalent to giving you a 50% discount. I want 20% from others."

"Haha!" Gui Mengjun grinned: "Okay, I agree."

"Can you make the decision?"

"It's my business, of course I can make the decision." Gui Mengjun was very straightforward: "Then it's settled?"

"Okay, in the next two days, I'll take you to meet the deputy commander of the government army." Zhao Weihu stood up and said, "I'll say the words, but you can talk about the specific details."

"Not fishing anymore?"

"No more fishing, the fish are too hard to catch!"

"Haha!"

...

In a military defense zone near Kasalo, a large number of soldiers are collecting military equipment, seemingly preparing for a large-scale migration.

At the same time.

Gu Baishun sat in the mining area, holding a phone in his right hand, and asked softly, "As you instructed, President!"

"Come to the First District when you have time." Jing Yan paused and said with a smile, "I want to see you!"

Gu Baishun blinked: "Okay!"
