Before he had time to reload, a blue devil running at high speed rushed over obliquely, knocked himself off the horse's back abruptly, and at the same time did not forget to use his hard fingers to turn his palms into knives and shoot at the chest and abdomen. thrust in.
If this is true, Hong Tao feels that the last time he will have a heartbreak.But it's okay, I just feel a heavy punch in the abdomen, a little cramp in the stomach, and most of the strength is borne by the body armor.
"Ouch..." The front was lucky to escape, but the back was a tragedy.When I fell off the horse, it happened to be on the side of the road, and the damn curb was stuck on my waist.
If it weren't for the steel plate inserted in the bulletproof vest, it is estimated that the lumbar spine would have become two sections.Even so, he was still confused, his eyes were staring, and his teeth almost bit his tongue off.
"F*ck!" But no matter how uncomfortable the body was, I still heard the miserable howl that seemed to burst out from hell. You don't need to understand the content, just by listening to the tone, you can tell that it is an accusation.
"Wow..." The shotgun fell to nowhere, and Hong Tao struggled to reach out with his active left hand to the right to take out the pistol. At the same time, he opened the safety. He clasped his index finger and poured out all the bullets in the magazine.
"Crack..." At the same time, a black arm stretched out, and its fingers clasped the bulletproof vest on its chest, making an extremely unpleasant sound of metal rubbing, and then stopped abruptly.
This is another blue devil chasing after him. It received an order from the zombie dog and was about to tear up the creature, but the order suddenly disappeared, and it was replaced by instinct, which told it that the creature in front of it was very good. parasite.
So it looked for the closest distance and grabbed the back of the creature's hand. After sensing the message of the same kind of parasite, it stopped all actions contentedly, and just bent over, motionless like picking up a wallet.
Hong Tao had already closed his eyes when he saw a black shadow flying over from the side. A person who raised a gun with both hands and couldn’t shoot at a distance of 20 meters, the hit rate of continuous shooting with the left hand with little training can be imagined, basically blind The cat kills the mouse.
But my big mouse was so lucky that it ran into it. The Erha was not only hit on the head, but also shot several times, killing him on the spot.It seems that I should practice my left hand more in the future, maybe all the talent points are on the left half of my body!
"Hiss... ho... You two wait, don't know how to respect the old and love the young, hit the old man casually, and touch their hands! It's not that the time is not up, we will talk about it at dawn! Hiss... ouch... baby... don't Scared... come here, we should go home..."
After lying on the spot for more than half a minute, Hong Tao gritted his teeth and reluctantly got up enduring the pain all over his body.Now is not the time to rest, you have to go back immediately, otherwise you will have to turn into dog food when the zombie dogs and blue devils who are chasing Zhang Ke turn around.
I picked up the shotgun from a few meters away, reloaded the bullets, and just wanted to find a horse tens of meters away, when I suddenly remembered that there were two blue devils beside me.With his small mind, he was almost paralyzed after receiving such a fat beating, so it would be strange if he could just smile away his grievances.
But he raised the gun to his forehead several times, but in the end he didn't pull the trigger.It's not that I forgive them, it's because I'm afraid that the gunshots will attract other blue devils.But I can't just let it go for nothing, what should I do?Hong Tao has a trick.
He took out a roll of gauze from the first aid kit and tied it to the heads of the two blue devils.In this way, when they are attacked by zombie dogs or zombies again, the target will be more obvious.As long as you find it, you must kill it first to avenge it!
Chapter 839 Righteousness
The process of going back is much easier than rushing out. The two zombie dogs in charge of this area are both dead. The new zombie dog probably hasn't gotten familiar with the environment yet, and has been hit head-on.
Even the blue devil didn't approach to harass, and the southwest corner of the community was calmer than before.But the roof was not peaceful at all. Flares would go off every two minutes, illuminating the hundreds of meters around as bright as day.
"It's done, it's done, don't throw it away, save it, I'm back..."
Hong Tao was riding back on horseback and at the same time called Benzhu to save time with his mobile phone. It was just before 4 o'clock, and it would take at least 2 hours before the big light came on, and the large army led by the living corpses had already experienced it vividly, and the real fierce battle was about to begin. start!
"Yo, this is Boss Sun, right? I've been looking forward to it for a long time..." As soon as Hong Tao got into the corridor door through the gap that was temporarily removed, Hong Tao found some unfamiliar faces.The hand that was about to tear off the black cloth on his head was immediately taken down, and it was stretched out to a middle-aged man who was a little embarrassed, with a gloomy face, but quite imposing.
"Sun Ning of Loyalty Company... I don't know the name of this brother?" The middle-aged man habitually raised his hand to stroke his drooping hair, shook hands with Hong Tao lightly, and announced his family name.
"Zhou, Chow Tai Fook of Ping An Company!" Hong Tao said casually, he was not quite sure how to greet these people at this moment.A few days ago, I just lured zombies into the village where they lived and killed nearly a hundred people, as well as this guy's two sworn brothers.
Although it was said that the matter was not exposed, and the military did not try hard to investigate after the incident, they were all adults, and they knew about some things without thinking about them.Right now, it seems a bit inappropriate to pretend that nothing happened right now.
"Brother Zhou's name has been heard. I will not thank you for today's great kindness. My grandson's kindness is either kind or hatred. If you don't like it, let me go out by myself. I have no right to do so. But don't It’s hard for the brothers below me, they are all obedient to earn a living, and the crime is not worthy of death!”
I don't think Sun Ning was the first to speak out, the meaning was very clear, he recognized the grace of saving lives, but the previous enmity should not be forgotten, and there is no specific regulation on how to calculate it.If Ping An Company is not at ease, then he will go out on his own and not take this kind of favor, and life and death have nothing to do with Ping An Company.
"Hey, it's a good deal to save people and save Qiu Lai, if it wasn't for..." Shen Wansan was the first to lose his composure when he heard these soft yet hard-edged words.He didn't want to save these people in the first place, but because of the face of that Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang, he almost told the truth in a hurry.
"Hey, third child, if you don't know how to talk, talk less. Come on, lazy dog, you and the third child continue to guard the corridor crossing. The zombie army has arrived at the side of the road. Remember, save bullets. That thing can only be killed by a gun. It's endless, don't let them get in, and persist until dawn is victory.
Boss Sun must be tired after running around half the night, so let the brothers go upstairs to rest first.We are not iron men either. If the zombies come too fast, we have to change our defenses.You still have to suffer, how about we go upstairs to chat? "
As soon as Hong Tao heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.As the saying goes, beating people doesn't slap people in the face. If you continue to say this, your risk will be in vain. Even if you don't fight on the spot, the hatred will double afterwards, which is not worth it.
You have to be forgiving and forgiving, not all enemies in the world have to be killed, in that case there will be few living people left.When to press, when to give in, and when to stick to it is a very technical job that pays attention to heat.
In fact, I don't know what to do, but as long as I have enough breadth of mind, I can take a step back and try the sincerity of the other party before talking about it.
"Manager Wang is not here, and Zhong Nanle and I are in charge here for the time being. If Boss Sun thinks that our brothers are condescending, then he can arrange a change of defense personnel, and then find a room to eat and rest. If we think we can chat, we will Let's chat while eating."
While going upstairs, Hong Tao tested Sun Ning's ways. A person who can lead a company with hundreds of drivers can be treacherous, ruthless, and unscrupulous, but he must not be a fool.
"Brother Zhou, you should be older than me. If it's the two of us, I'll knelt down and kowtowed to recognize the eldest brother. Not only did I hear what happened just now, but I also saw it. Without you, half of us would have survived to come in." It's God's favor.
You can manage your affairs in his position. I am in charge of Zhongyi Company, and you are in charge of Ping An Company.As the old saying goes, each is his master, and there is the whole company behind me, so it has to be like this! "
Sun Ning looks very slick, and his appearance is similar to that of Shen Nan, but his personality is a bit of a quack, with a clear mind, sharp words, and well-organized speech.
"Hehehe, Boss Sun, I'm offending you. It seems that your words seem a little condescending now!"
What kind of person is Sun Ning? Hong Tao was not sure when he first met him, but judging from the previous few words, he also gained a little bit.This guy is very face-saving, and he is a guy who does not give up.Whether it is true or not, whether it is pretending or not, we have to try again.
"Capacity... Huh, what does Brother Zhou mean!" Sure enough, Sun Ning's face drooped immediately when he heard someone accuse him of being a small belly.
"In normal times, our two families will definitely fight each other, and maybe they will never stop. It's normal, everyone is out to hang out, and they all have no faces. No one is more lacking in arms and legs than the other. Why do you bow your head and admit cowardice There is a saying that it is better to be beaten to death than to be frightened to death, because if you live like that, you will be ridiculed.
But now the situation is special, the grievances between our two families are nothing compared to the group of zombies outside.I don’t have any objection to this, but it’s a bit muddled to live in a daze just for one breath, what do you think? "
While walking and chatting, the group quickly reached the exit on the top of the building. Hong Tao stopped for a while, stretched out his hand and pushed open the fire door to signal for Sun Ning to go out first.
"..." Compared with the previous hour or so, this scene made everyone present shut their mouths, and I'm afraid they had to let go of what was in their minds first.
Reflected by the pale light of the flares, the black crowd of zombies was overwhelmingly pressing down from the south at an unhurried pace.
Gatherings of hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people are rare, but they are not very rare, but tens of thousands or more people march at the same speed, and there is still no sound. Not even once.
This sense of oppression rises from the bottom of my heart, and I can't avoid it no matter how I avoid it.Even if you close your eyes, just through the slight vibration from your feet, you can still have a similar scene in your brain.
"Unexpectedly, I, Sun Ning, would end up like this... Retribution!" It was not Bumblebee or Xiaoma who couldn't bear the collapse first, but Sun Ning.
He had never seen such a scene before, and he didn't have anyone like Hong Tao explaining in advance. He was chased all the way, and the most he saw were a dozen or so blue devils.
That kind of feeling is called fear, fear can hide and fight, but the feeling at this time is despair, and despair is something that mortals can't hide from or fight against, otherwise there is no use.
At this time, the days on the north bank of the Huaihe River suddenly appeared in his mind, and he immediately remembered the plot of luring zombies to attack the Ping An Company. stand up.
"Boss Sun, come on, smoke a cigarette to calm the shock. It's not time for despair yet. Regardless of their large number, they are actually easy to eliminate. As long as the living corpses in charge of commanding are killed, no matter how many are left, they will all be white." Give.
It's true that we are surrounded now, but zombies can't climb buildings, let alone demolish buildings. As long as the energy consumption reaches dawn, the alliance's air force will dispatch planes to look for traces of living corpses.A few bombs go down, even if it hides in a building, only one will die. "
It was not the first time for Hong Tao to watch the elders cry bitterly, but he was still not very used to it, and it affected his state of mind more than kneeling down and begging for mercy with snot and tears.When Sun Ning's crying slowed down a bit, he quickly handed over a cigarette, and then said a few words that sounded promising, and stopped the crying first.
Chapter 840 Turning the war into jade
"Airplane... yes, yes, there is still a plane! We still have rescue, right... Oh, I made everyone laugh, I am not wronged! Compared with you, I am like a child who has never seen the world, and I don't know people. , deserved to end up like this!"
People, usually extremely fearful and extremely pessimistic, are instant, as long as they can get over this energy and get out of the endless cycle of mental state, just like practicing inner skills, the resistance to negative emotions will immediately increase a notch.
With Hong Tao's slap in the face, Sun Ning took a few puffs of cigarettes, and finally walked out of a lot of self-pity.Turning his head to look at Benzhu and Xiaodao, and then at the two Zhongyi Company subordinates following behind him, he raised his head to the sky and sighed deeply, as if he had let go of some kind of burden, and felt a lot of relief both physically and mentally.
"Xiaodao, you'd better go down and be a reserve team, it's okay here!" Seeing Sun Ning's performance, Hong Tao felt relieved a lot.
If he could show his humanity so vividly, he deserved to be tricked, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.In this case, there is no need for the small knife to hold the knife in the sleeve and prepare to strike at any time. The most important thing right now is not to persuade anyone, but to prevent the zombies from rushing in.
"You two also go down with Brother Xiaodao and listen to his instructions. Tell our people not to panic, take a break and eat, and go to work in half an hour, and fight the monsters outside! As long as we can survive until dawn, the alliance plane will come , Zombies are not afraid of death and can't hold bombs, it's no big deal!"
Sun Ning was not a fool, he immediately asked his two subordinates to leave the roof, and at the same time told Hong Tao about the chicken soup.If a person has the hope of life, he will burst out with extraordinary power, which is more powerful than the blood of a chicken.
"Boss Sun, I admire you! It's not a compliment. You can come out so quickly and have such a clear mind. You really are not an ordinary person. No wonder you can lead such a big company. I really admire you!" , trying to bring the relationship closer again.
"Brother Zhou, don't be so shabby. I know how much I have. Let's do it. The previous grievances between the two companies are decided by me, so let's smooth it out. But Sun Ning really can't decide how to get along in the future. My brother is speaking!"
But Sun Ning is also an old man, and he doesn't want to play this trick of joking about doing big things. He made it very clear that he doesn't recognize the grace of saving his life, but he only represents himself and has nothing to do with the company.
"Don't be so nervous, if we can go back, please bring a message to Boss Sun, ask his opinion, and see if we can sit together and chat.
The transportation industry is far from being saturated, or even just getting started.There is absolutely no need for our two families to compete for more mouthfuls of soup and lose our strength. In the end, we have no energy when the main course comes, and maybe others will have to take advantage of it. "
Hong Tao laughed, he didn't take Sun Ning's attitude seriously at all, and decided not to talk about saving lives, but to talk about business experience instead.Judging from this person's attire, he should also be good at calculating. It's useless to fool around with empty teeth, and he must use some dry goods.
"...Brother Zhou, what do you say?" Sure enough, Sun Ning heard that the transportation industry had just started, and the greater benefits were yet to come. He immediately forgot about the huge crowd of zombies downstairs and stretched out his hands He stroked his hair and put on a posture of asking for advice.
"It's very simple. According to the current trend, the alliance occupies more than half of the country. Whether it is for people's livelihood or industrial development, resources from all over the country must be fully deployed. The main line can rely on railways, but railways certainly cannot meet all needs. Only horse-drawn carriages can be supplemented.
For a long time, cars can be ignored, because the alliance has no rubber production area, and technology is useless. There are no tires, and the transportation cost is much higher than that of horse-drawn carriages.Starting from Xinjiang Province in the west, Changchun in the east, and Huaihe River in the south, you can calculate how many horse-drawn carriages are needed to meet the needs of material flow! "
This question is really not a random one. Since the day Ping An Transportation Company was established, Hong Tao has made a preliminary assessment of the transportation industry based on the current status of the East Asian Alliance.From this, I came to a conclusion that this is a sunrise industry, and it is closely related to production and life, and it is irreplaceable!
And relying on the current scale of Changfeng, Zhongyi, and Pingan Transportation alone, let alone being satisfied, I am afraid that they are not even considered as major supplements.It was also based on this judgment that he took the risk of raiding the German embassy and Olympian Manor, attacking the only competitor in a very extreme way.
But the purpose of the blow is not to destroy or swallow the opponent in one fell swoop, but to try to narrow the gap between the two sides further, to a distance that is qualified to sit down and talk with the opponent.The previous Ping An Transportation Company was too weak, so weak that it was impossible to talk about it.
"Hehe, Old Brother Zhou, I'll call you Old Brother, but don't really treat me like a child. I understand why you want to take advantage of his illness to kill him. Is it possible that you still want to eat people to gain a good reputation?" , the whole thing will be done without bloodshed!"
But to Sun Ning's ears, this analysis was not a purely commercial discussion at all, but more like a big pit.If I really believe it and go back and persuade my elder brother to take the initiative to negotiate with Ping An Transportation Company, the final result is likely to be that the company will be torn apart before the terms are negotiated.
Originally, many contracted transportation teams of Changfeng and Zhongyi Company had already had two hearts. This time they went south and killed and injured nearly a hundred company backbones, and even lost their left and right arms. It must be regarded as a serious injury.If you choose to negotiate at this time, in the eyes of outsiders, you will bow your head and give in.
As the saying goes, the tree falls and the monkeys scatter. In fact, this sentence has not kept up with the pace of the times.Now that the tree has just crooked and lost a few branches, the hozens are ready to climb another branch.
So at this moment, not only can't negotiate, but you have to hold back, knock out your teeth and swallow blood into your stomach, and you must be tough with the outside world, so that you can overcome the difficulties in front of you.
"Hahaha... Boss Sun, you are a bit of a villain to judge a gentleman's belly! Hey, don't get busy arguing, just listen to me. Think about it carefully, from the old world to now, every single family Has a big business ever had a good development?
Not only the private sector, but even the government, as long as it is a monopoly industry, has there been normal development?Let me tell you, there isn't one, and once a vibrant industry appears, it will immediately become stagnant.
An industry that could last for many years, as long as it is monopolized by a certain company, it will immediately become a short-lived ghost, and it will be worse every day.In fact, this is not surprising, it is in line with human nature.
In the initial stage of monopoly, there is a high price to be paid. After the success, investors must think that they can finally get it casually, and they can't wait to get back all their previous investment in one day.Anyway, there are no opponents making trouble, so you can play however you want.
Once in this state, who will the operator rack his brains in order to manage the enterprise and open up the market?As long as people are lazy, it is difficult to completely rely on self-control when there is no external pressure, and always maintain strong fighting spirit and creativity.
To put it bluntly, most of the progress of human beings since its birth has been forced.At the beginning, I was forced by nature, and I was threatened by wild animals all day long without making fire and tools.Later, I was persecuted by the same kind, and I couldn’t make money if I didn’t play better than others.
Is this the case when Changfeng and Zhongyi monopolized the transportation industry?And after the establishment of Ping An Transportation Company, did your mentality change, did you have a sense of urgency, and began to think about how to manage the company more reasonably and compete for the market?
So, according to my vision, not only can the two of us swallow the other, but we must also cooperate with each other to expand the market.Of course, competition is also necessary, but stop engaging in such life-and-death tactics.
If there is a conflict, it is best to sit down and have a talk, find a way to lead the competition to benign through negotiation, compromise, and concession, and improve our respective management and operation levels through competition.In layman's terms, it is to keep an enemy and force yourself not to be lazy or slack off. "
Sun Ning was very relieved to think of this step, Hong Tao was not pretending to be really happy.why?Because arguing with a smart person is less worrying than chatting with a foolish person, and it is easier to reach a consensus.To put it bluntly, the level of understanding between the two parties is on the same level, and it is easier to communicate, and it is not like chickens talking to ducks.
"...This is the idea of Western economics, Brother Zhou, what did you do before?"
"I did do some business with foreigners before, but this kind of thinking is not only in the West, but also in our ancients. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, the Shanxi Bank was very powerful. You know how they swept the country. ?
It is by making the cake bigger, and then everyone eats it together.If I open a bank, you are from my hometown and you are suitable for this business, even if you don’t have the capital, don’t be afraid, I will lend it to you, even if you operate in the same city as me.
Relying on this method, Shanxi people quickly compiled ticket numbers across the country, which means making the cake bigger.Looking back, did the people who gave loans to fellow villagers suffer?Of course not, not only did they get back the principal and interest, but they also took advantage of the large number of people to eat a big cake!It is much more rewarding than fighting alone and always wanting to eat alone.
To give a more recent example, just before the outbreak of the zombie disease, people in many places in Fujian and Wenzhou, no matter whether they were working hard at home or abroad, started from one industry and one place with the help of fellow villagers.
Whoever does it well will immediately invite friends to come over to start this industry, not only borrowing money to repay the hands-on teaching, but within a year or two, an industry will be established, and the scale will be expanded by countless times.
You might say that this is also a monopoly?No, this is not a monopoly. There is also competition among them. Whoever does not study and work hard will still be squeezed out by fellow villagers.
It is also in this environment that it is possible for one or two companies with relatively high management levels and relatively good product performance to eventually become bigger and stronger.Still the same sentence, human nature is lazy, if you don't force you, you won't make progress! "
Chapter 841: Gold Always Shines
In order to explain his theory, Hong Tao searched his brains for references, not only to show the ancients, but also to give examples of what happened in modern society.Try to be easy to understand, if you still don't understand, then you are deliberately pretending to be a grandson with me!
"...that's the truth, but the power of life and death in the transportation industry is still in the hands of the alliance government. It doesn't count if we say it!" Sun Ning really didn't mean to pretend to be a grandson. Very critical, pointing directly to the essence of the problem.
"A big shop bullies customers, but a big shop can also bully the shop. Strength and weakness are relative. At present, the alliance does not have such a strong control, and many things must rely on refugees, especially labor-intensive industries like transportation. Small-scale industries, relying on their own not only lack of manpower, the cost will be much higher.
We are not in one step, for quite a long period of time, they should not object to the expansion of the transportation company, which is very beneficial to the development of the alliance.As for the future... let's take one step at a time, at most two steps, no one can predict things that are too long-term. "
"Is this what Boss Hu and all the shareholders of Ping An Company mean?"
All the questions that should be asked have been answered accurately, and Sun Ning had to take a closer look at the man in front of him who always wears sunglasses and has gray hair and beard.It's a bit scary, not because of this person, but because of Ping An Transportation Company.
Just an obscure old man in charge of logistics can have such insight, so what about the others?Whether it is doing business or setting up an organization, in the final analysis, it is all about fighting for talents, and Ping An Transportation Company seems to be superior in this regard.Even if Zhu Zhenrong, the second child, and Jin Yonghui, the fourth child, survived, the four brothers would not be able to take advantage of them.
What I just said is indeed reasonable. People like myself have been slacking off for too many years, and suddenly want to get nervous and regain the state of fighting the world back then. It's not easy!
"Yes, Manager Wang was supposed to talk to you about this, but unfortunately, we didn't find a suitable opportunity along the way. Today is a coincidence, so let me do it for you. You don't think I'm not qualified, do you?"
Hong Tao lied again, Hu Yang, Sun Feihu, Mrs. Xiushan, Shen Nan, Bai Xiude and others, including Wang Gang, didn't know about it at all, let alone made such an arrangement.But what does it matter, as long as they can go back alive, they must have it!
"Well, I will definitely bring the words, and I must express the meaning clearly... As for how my elder brother decides, try my best! In fact, it's hard to say whether I can still see my elder brother!" Hearing this answer, Sun Ning felt even more heartbroken. Feeling depressed, looking at others, you can't say that one step counts as ten steps, but three steps are also counted.
Look at yourself again, if you look at the big one, you can see a little in front of your toes.I don't know if I don't know, people are more dead than people!The only thing I can do now is to save some face for myself and the company as much as possible, so as not to lose everything.
"It's up to people to make things happen... As long as this building doesn't fall down, the chances of us surviving are not low!" Hong Tao smiled and pointed upwards with a finger.
"...You already have a way to get out!" Sun Ning followed his fingers and looked up at the sky... It was a cloudy sky, the clouds covered the moon, and he saw nothing.But this smile is too easy to make people think. There must be more than one person who can still smile at this time, but there should be only one person who can smile so happily.
"Hey, I'm not a god, how can I have a solution. But you can look over there. As long as he is still alive, the alliance will spare no effort to rescue even if a few planes fall off. I guess, at this time Minggang Airport has already The bombers are ready to take off as soon as the visibility is good enough."
Seeing that not only Sun Ning looked confused, but even Bungy was frowning in thought, Hong Tao smiled even more happily.Fooling people is very fulfilling, because persuading people is the most difficult thing, much harder than forcing people to call daddy with a gun.But fooling smart people is even more difficult, why are you unhappy when you succeed!
"Fuck...how did I forget him! That's right, our life and death are nothing, but he is different! Speaking of it, it's fate, and we didn't receive the order for the main force to evacuate immediately. , if I hadn't met Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang and his party, they would be gone by now!
I, Sun Ning, He De He Neng, was led by Deputy Chief of Staff Zhang in the past, and brother Zhou gave up his life to save me later... Shame on me! Put away the posture of looking at the sky, and followed Hong Tao's eyes to look to the north again, Sun Ning's pupils suddenly enlarged N times.
