Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Chapter 164: Resources for war preparation come uninvited

Shortly after the hearer from the Governor's Mansion left, Shi Mansion welcomed another guest.

A person whose weight is about the same as that of the listener, but whose body shape is completely different.

"Oh, Brother Wang is so elegant. Drinking tea under the tree is so elegant and elegant!"

With a smile on his face, Zhang Fuhong walked into the inner courtyard under the leadership of Shi Yue, then casually took a photo of a special lotus platform and took out a bag of tea leaves from his arms.

"I got it from my father's teahouse. I don't know what kind it is, but judging from where it is kept, it should be the most expensive."

Shi Yue asked curiously: "Does your father agree with you doing this?"

Zhang Fuhong said with a smile: "He is probably so angry that he threw the tea set. But, I don't need his consent to do things. Compared with what I will take from him in the future, a bag of tea is nothing."

After saying that, Zhang Fuhong said seriously: "I organized a temporary dinner party to entertain several brothers. They are all friends who play Taixu Scrolls together. There is Mr. Slot who is ranked third in Feiyuan Lutian Ranking, and Mr. who is fifth. Short-sleeved Tianzun, the sixth Long Buyang, the tenth Gangcheng doll... Are you interested, brother Wang?"

Shi Yue was a little amused when he heard this: "Why, you virtual friends are having a party, will Boss Luo go too?"

Zhang Fuhong was startled, and then a simple smile appeared on his fat face: "Boss Luo's superior supplier came with Mr. Jiaozi as an entourage."

Although these words were polite, Shi Yue could naturally hear the meaning - obviously it meant that Luo Xiao was not qualified at all - and then he couldn't help but be even more surprised: "Are they all big shots?"

Zhang Fuhong sighed: "Feiyuan Lu, although it is not a particularly top-notch Taixu picture scroll, but after so many years of operation, those who can be listed on the Tianbang usually spent tens of millions of spiritual leaves... in a Those who can spend tens of millions on picture scrolls must have some strength."

Shi Yue wrinkled his nose and stopped talking.

The huge family debt that once brought her to the point of despair only amounted to tens of millions, and the monthly interest payments already made her breathless.But for some people, this huge amount of money can only be regarded as money for gaming.

Zhang Fuhong is a person who knows how to watch people's words. When he saw this, he immediately smiled and said: "Sister Yue, you are also an invited guest today."

"Me?" Shi Yue was even more surprised, "What am I going to do? I never play Taixu picture scrolls."

Zhang Fuhong said: "But you are the manager of Lingshan. Our dinner today is originally a gathering of virtual friends, but the theme of the dinner table is the development of Rongcheng. Several Tianbang gathered in Rongcheng, and at most [-]% of them came to watch Thirty percent of my face is for Brother Wang, and the remaining [-]% is for the development of Rongcheng."

Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Lingshan is going to be a pioneer, do you all know?"

This time it was Zhang Fuhong's turn to be stunned: "What pioneer? Damn, Sister Yue, are you kidding me?! Are you taking Lingshan with you to pioneer this time!?"

Only then did Shi Yue realize that there was a misunderstanding. He quickly covered his mouth and looked at Wang Luo in panic.

Wang Luo didn't mind Shi Yue leaking the secret. In fact, if the secret level of Lingshan's vanguard was really that high, Han Wu would not have said it in front of Shi Yue just now.

And he himself had no intention of keeping this matter a secret.

So he opened his mouth to explain: "Pioneering Pioneer is a pledge of honor from me, the owner of Lingshan Mountain, to the new world. It is also a reward issued to me by the Golden Deer Hall and the Governor's Mansion."

Zhang Fuhong stood up excitedly on the spot and walked around the courtyard: "Hey, this is exciting! Pioneer, this position is the most important. Originally, we thought that there would be no pioneer in this pioneering meeting, and we would directly Use the city wall to crush it... But Lingshan, it seems reasonable for Lingshan to be the pioneer!" Shi Yue was a little curious: "Aren't you worried? The risks of pioneering are extraordinary. If you want to invest in Lingshan..."

Zhang Fuhong was so excited that he didn't even bother to be polite and immediately interrupted: "The other side of risk is profit!"

Now Wang Luo was a little curious: "Are you willing to bet?"

Zhang Fuhong calmed down a little, and said with a smile after hearing this: "Brother Wang really understands me. I really don't like high-risk, high-reward gambling. But my friends all like it, and if they like it, it means I have no ability." It’s a benefit. I’m still willing to take advantage of this unfounded benefit.”

Wang Luo pondered for a moment and nodded.

Zhang Fuhong glanced at Shi Yue, and explained patiently: "Investing in Lingshan cannot be a monopoly of the Zhang family. We do not have such large financial resources, and we cannot monopolize such conspicuous resources. Things like pioneering have always been the sole responsibility of the Immortal Alliance. Hundreds of countries in the state work together. The specific investment and construction strategy cannot be decided by just a few of us sitting at a table and having a meal. Only the Golden Deer Hall is qualified to make the decision, and even the Governor's Office can only serve as the executor. And we people are even more insignificant... But on the other hand, since we are insignificant, there is no reason for insignificant people to bear the main risk, right?"

Shi Yue nodded subconsciously.

Zhang Fuhong added: "And let's be honest, no matter how dangerous the pioneers are, when Rongcheng goes west into the wilderness and Lingshan faces the risk, it may be a few years later - pioneers never say "leave". Let’s go. In the past few years, I may have made enough profits and retreated from Lingshan.”

Zhang Fuhong's words are not dishonest. Although for him who has not yet inherited the family business, everything is just empty talk, but he at least explained the recipe of the flatbread exactly.

Wang Luo asked: "When is the dinner?"

Zhang Fuhong said excitedly: "It's tonight! There's no need to go anywhere else, it's just at my meat factory!"

Shi Yue said in surprise: "You entertain guests in a meat factory?"

Hearing this, Zhang Fuhong immediately leaned back slightly and put on a proud face: "Xiao Yue, you don't know something right now. The best restaurant in the entire Stone Street is actually the Zhang's Meat Factory. What about Lao Hong's home-cooked dishes, Shi Shang A clear spring is just a red color sought after by ordinary people."

Shi Yue was doubtful, but Wang Luo nodded.

Because in fact, Lao Hong and the boss of Meiyuan have said this.

In terms of craftsmanship, they are worthy of anyone. Even if Ziwu's magic chef comes, they dare to stiffen their necks and prepare a few special dishes.

But the quality of a restaurant does not entirely depend on its craftsmanship.The restrictions on ingredients determine the actual upper limit of a restaurant.

The numerous gourmet shops on Xiangshan Road are all run by local poor people, and the selection of ingredients is naturally based on cost-effectiveness.

However, Zhang's Meat Factory has the most high-end ingredients in the entire Stone Street. Those high-quality spiritual meats specially supplied to the upper-city dignitaries are not sold to the locals of Stone Street at all.

In addition, the meat factory actually has retired quasi-magic chefs specially hired from Jinghua District.This is even an indispensable part of the Zhang family's journey to make a fortune. When the Zhang family first established relationships with the powerful people in Shangcheng District, they hosted them to dine at their own meat factory, with great success.

Now Zhang Fuhong has inherited this ancestral property and also inherited the glorious tradition of the Zhang family.
