Catastrophe
Chapter 1232: forced by the situation
One hour after Xia Houjin received the call, Secretary Chen pushed the door and walked into Xia Houjin's office: "Leader, are you looking for me?"
"Well, let's sit down and talk, I asked the back kitchen to make a late-night snack, and it will be delivered soon." Xia Houjin said with a gloomy face, holding a teacup: "I received a call not long ago to deliver the supplies to our team. It has been intercepted by the revolutionary army outside Qiongling, and now the revolutionary army has announced military control of the Qiongling area, and no convoys or individuals can pass there."
"This, how is this possible?!" Secretary Chen seemed to have heard a big joke: "Qiongling is the junction of the four clans in the Northern Wilderness. Even after the battle of Qiongling, no one announced the occupation of Qiongling. They The revolutionary army is nothing but a bunch of chaotic parties, and they dare to do such a thing, are they crazy?"
"You have to be clear that none of the four clans occupied Qiongling because there is actually not much significance there except as a transportation hub. If it really has an impact, it can only affect the Lu family."
Xia Houjin waved his hand: "The key point of the problem now is not who has occupied Qiongling, but the materials from our side that cannot be transported in smoothly. This is what we should be concerned about. As for the military It's not up to us business people to worry about the problem."
"That's what I'm going to say." Secretary Chen nodded and said, "As you said, we are all engaged in business, not the military. Our job responsibilities only need to do business well. As for ensuring transportation Safety, that is the military's business, so this matter should be handed over to the military, right?"
"This is what makes me angry. I have spoken to the military on the phone, but these **** don't agree to send troops to resolve this matter, and they have told me some big truths."
When Xia Houjin mentioned this, a flash of irritability flashed in his eyes: "Those guys in the military told me that the blockade of Qiongling by the revolutionary army is not only affected by us, so at this time, we must be calm and not be caught by other chaebols. He also said that there is a problem in Qiongling, and it must be the Lu family who is most worried, and now that the Lu family has not done anything, our Xiahou family can’t be too hasty.”
"But in this case, it's different! The Lu family has never had a share of Lingnan's business, and now that the battle of the four clans has just ended, the trade volume between the chaebols is very small, so the Lu family will not be affected for the time being. Yes, but we Xiahou Clan are different."
Secretary Chen said indignantly: "In the battle of the four clans, although the Xiahou clan and the Lu clan are allied forces, we have always contributed to our own efforts. In order to win this war, the Xiahou clan paid such a high price, and it was empty. With so many resources, now is the time when a large number of materials are needed in the rear, don't the pigs in the military consider these issues?"
"Of course they want it, but the responsibility for this is not on them, because the supply of materials is not timely, it is you and me who need to stand up to the thunder! And if they cause a military conflict and can't end, they will throw away the black yarn. of."
Xia Houjin responded irritably: "Now peaceful and stable development is the general policy set by the Elders Association, and the troops have been fighting for so long, both soldiers and people have already had a strong anti-war mentality, especially trade. The impact has caused a backlog of grievances among the people.
Now the order of Xiahou's appointment as governor is about to come down. We have just won the battle. If we continue to fight, it will not be in line with the strategy set by the elders, and the military is using this excuse to prevaricate us, saying that they will not because of a train of transportation. Convoy, let's go to war again, and as the new governor of Beihuang, if the Xiahou Clan starts the war just after taking the top spot, it will not look good. "
Secretary Chen responded: "It's totally two different things! We don't want the military to break out into a full-scale conflict, we just want them to ensure the smooth flow of transportation channels, isn't that too much?"
"Of course it's not too much, but now that group of **** are biting to death and pressing us with the policy of the Council of Elders, I can't question the Council of Elders!" Xia Houjin's chest heaved: "The response given by the military is careless. It meant that neither Qiongling nor Lingnan belonged to the Xiahou clan. If troops were dispatched rashly, it would easily be judged as a military invasion by the Lu clan, which would affect the image of the governor.
And these guys also said that our Daxia Company has its own armed forces and is not within the protection scope of the military, so the military will definitely not care about this matter. To put it bluntly, these guys are afraid of worrying about it. responsibility, and the military has recently been discussing merit and rewarding, everyone is busy with military merit and benefits, and no one cares about our side. "
Secretary Chen frowned: "Then our transport team was just cut off like this?"
"Eat and chat." Xia Houjin saw the servant bring the midnight snack into the room, walked over to the coffee table, cut the steak and responded, "I think so, since the military can't count on it, we can only rely on I'm on my own, I'm going to send you to represent Daxia Company to negotiate with the people of the revolutionary army."
"Leader, are you... a little embarrassing for me?" Secretary Chen's face instantly became tangled: "You also know that these people in the revolutionary army are just a bunch of lunatics, they have no bottom line in what they do, and they dare to openly shout out The slogan of overthrowing the chaebols.
Before I went to negotiate with the Starlight Company, it was because we had mutual interests, and they dared not do anything to me, but the people of the Revolutionary Army are different, if the negotiation between me and them breaks down, then..."
"Don't worry, the people of the revolutionary army will not treat you like that." Xia Houjin chewed the beef and responded calmly: "The revolutionary army has no foundation in the refugee area~lightnovelpub.net~ must be poor and slag. , you go talk to them, as long as these people don't hinder our Daxia company's transport fleet from entering and leaving Qiongling, we can provide them with some living materials."
Secretary Chen's eyes widened: "Leadership, cooperating with the revolutionary army is a taboo at this time, you must think twice!"
"We cooperated with the revolutionary army in private, and this matter may not be exposed, but if Daxia Company has no results, it will really go wrong.
We have worked hard for several years in the wild land of Lingxi, for what? It's not about having a good resume and going back to a higher position in the fort!
Now that the war has just ended, it is time for us to provide materials for performance. If we can't come up with anything, what do you think the result will be? "
Xia Houjin paused and reminded softly: "When we made good grades in the past, maybe no one saw it, but now many eyes are on us, if we don't get any grades, our career will be ruined. In any case, I am also a branch of the chaebol, and I can eat a meal even when I return to the fortress, and what will your future be like?"
When Secretary Chen heard the words, his heart was ruthless, and he clenched his fists and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to them!"
