Chapter 139 The enemy of the enemy is a friend
"How can this be done? What is this Chu Cai always? At the beginning of last year, he also raised a large number of troops and came to attack our Nanri Island. Don't forget that you were almost buried alive by Chu Cai's collapsed wall with a cannon!
How can we sell them cannons now? I sold some cannons to Yan Siqi before, but that's all. Chu Cai always can't give them anything!"
As soon as everyone heard that Yu Xiaotian was going to sell cannons to Chu Cailao, they lost a firecracker in the hornet's nest and blew up.
Liu Laoliu had the biggest face and jumped up on the spot to sell cannons to Chu Cailao.
As for other people, especially the military system, whether they are marines or soldiers, they seem to have been stabbed. They jumped up and protested loudly, saying that the cannon can be sold to anyone, but they can't be sold to Chu Cailao.
Yu Xiaotian knew that they would encounter such a protest, and they expressed their dissatisfaction, but his eyes turned around, but he saw Lin Yiyang with a smile on the corners of his mouth, sitting aside and silent, as if it had nothing to do with him.
In addition, Zhao Mazi and Li Gouzi on the side of the board of directors did not object, but sat there without saying anything.
After listening, Yu Xiaotian nodded. The reason why he wanted to put this kind of thing on the table and let his men know that it was not that he had to ask his subordinates for their opinions in everything, but to touch the thoughts of his men in this way. Of course, the decision was ultimately in his hands.
Most importantly, when he doesn't want to make a major decision by himself, he doesn't know why he did this. He is privately dissatisfied with the decision he made and makes various sounds below, resulting in internal cracks. It doesn't matter once or twice. If it takes a long time, this dissatisfaction will be accumulated. Get up and finally make people turn their backs.
So when there is something important that needs him to make up his mind, after he has thought it over, he usually gathers his subordinates to ask their opinions first, understand their ideas, and then tell them his decision and why he wants to do so.
In this way, his men can eliminate the problem at this time, unify their understanding, and avoid complaining among the subordinates below.
After everyone made a statement, Yu Xiaotian coughed softly and turned his head to look at several people in the director's hall. He knew very well what these people were thinking.
Since the end of last year, they have made a huge profit in the arms deal with Yan Siqi and sold it to Yan Siqi's cannon, making the council make a lot of money.
The director's hall is in charge of the sea wolf's eating, drinking and sleeping. There are places where they spend money everywhere. They always think that there is little money. There is no time when they don't think there is much money. As long as they can make money, they are willing to do it. In the past, the reason why they objected is that they did not taste the sweetness from it. Once they tasted the sweetness, now it is Yu Xiaotian who wants to take the army. The fire was sold to the court, and they were probably willing to do it.
So this time Yu Xiaotian planned to sell cannons to Chu Cailao. What they were thinking about was not whether Chu Cailao would turn around to deal with them, or whether Chu Cailao was their former enemy, but began to make small calculations in their hearts and began to think about how many cannons should be sold to Chu Cailao. How much is the model? How much money can they earn in this business?
However, Lin Yiyang's attitude seems very ambiguous at this time, and Xiaotian can roughly guess that Lin Yiyang must have seen through his thoughts, so he did not speak indiscriminately.
"Mr. Lin! Why haven't you been talking? Yu Xiaotian asked Lin Yiyang.
Lin Yiyang heard that Yu Xiaotian called his name, so he quickly stood up and replied, "I have no objection, so there is nothing to say!" I would like to listen to the decision of the boss!"
"Oh? What is this? What does it mean to have no opinion? So are you in favor of selling the cannon to Chu Cailao or against it? I don't want to hear what you say and have no objection. Tell me, are you for or against it? Yu Xiaotian saw that Lin Yiyang was playing tricks, but he did not give him a chance and insisted on making a clear statement.
Lin Yiyang couldn't stop talking, so he had to answer, "I support selling cannons to Mr. Chu Cai!" ......”
After hearing Lin Yiyang's words, the people below immediately buzzed again. Liu Laoliu looked unhappy and felt that Lin Yiyang was a little brainless.
"Listen to the next word, everyone! I have the same view as the big boss. Although Mr. Chu Cai used to be our enemy and owed us a blood debt, in other words, Mr. Chu Cai paid a greater price, making him, the boss of the sea, become second-rate after the First Battle of Nanri Island!
For the time being, we have no plan to go south. Chu Cai has been accommodating to us and being obedient for more than a year, so this enemy is no longer our enemy for the time being!
On the contrary, Zheng Yiguan is aggressive everywhere and wants to expand his power, and Zheng Yiguan is our threat at present.
However, Zheng Yiguan is temporarily restrained by Yan Siqi and afraid of our strength, so he dares not fight with us for the time being, and can only compete with Mr. Chu Cai!"
Speaking this, Lin Yiyang deliberately stopped.
Liu Laoliu then said, "It's best for them to bite the dog. The dog bites the dog's hair, and no one will feel sorry for anyone who bites him to death!" Let them bite it!"
Lin Yiyang shook his head and said, "Otherwise! That's right, but it also depends on who is stronger and who is weak! It seems that Chu Cai's strength is not weak, but after the First World War, Chu Cai's strength has declined. Zheng Yiguan, the latecomer, is in the limelight, and Zheng Yiguan's way is broad. He has a deep friendship with the fo lang ji ren of Haojing Australia. He has been baptized and is a Catholic, so he is well supported by the Catholic Church.
So he can buy a Hongyi cannon that others can't buy, but Chu Cai can't. He can only eat his old capital and rely on his accumulation to fight against Zheng Yiguan. During this period, he is gradually falling behind.
As time goes by, I'm afraid that Chu Cai will fall apart. At that time, Zheng Yiguan will seize a large area and have stronger strength.
This is not what the big boss wants to see, so I think we can sell some cannons to Chu Cai to restore some strength and have the ability to fight Zheng Yiguan.
What's more, we just give them weapons, not teach him how to cast cannons. Chu Cai always wants to rely on the cannons we sold to him. In the future, he will turn around to fight against us. He is not our opponent at all, so there is no need to worry too much about this!
On the contrary, after Mr. Chu Cai got our cannon, he knew our strength and did not dare to offend us easily.
It's better to let a person who is beneficial to us control the sea around Zhangzhou Chaozhou than to let a person who is hostile to us control it!
So I support this matter!"
After listening to Lin Yiyang's words, those who opposed it began to bow their heads and think about it. Some people began to nod to show that it was reasonable, including Liu Laoliu also closed his mouth and the goatee who touched his chin began to close his eyes and think about it.
Yu Xiaotian slapped with a smile and nodded repeatedly, "Well said! Mr. Lin, who knows me!
Mr. Lin said it well! We would rather let a person who submits to us occupy the sea of Zhangchao than watch Zheng Yiguan occupy it. What's more, Chu Cai's old money is a lot. With other money killed by Zheng Yiguan, it's better to put it in Zheng Yiguan's bag first!
Mr. Chu Cai is indeed our enemy, but that was once! Even if we want to deal with him in the future, we can clean him up at any time! However, our current focus is not on how big the territory is occupied, but on focusing on the current territory and vigorously developing fresh water and chicken cages. If possible, I would like to develop to the south, because the southern part of Taiwan Member Island is more suitable for farming, and the environment there is better than the north side!
So now we need Chu Cai Lao to contain Zheng Yiguan for us, because Zheng Yiguan is one of our biggest enemies. This man is cruel and young. Once he grows, he will become our strongest opponent.
I'm afraid that Yan Siqi alone is not enough to deal with Zheng Yiguan. Once Zheng Yiguan kills Chu Cailao, it will only be bad for us!
You will always remember that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Zheng Yiguan is now our enemy, so the person who is against Zheng Yiguan is our friend! Even if Chu Cai used to be our enemy, he can also become our friend, because we have a common enemy!
Instead of us personally carrying knives to fight with Zheng Yiguan, then I prefer to let Chu Cai go first. As my father-in-law said, the dog bites the dog's hair and let them bite it! But the premise is that one dog cannot be bitten to death. If the dog is weak, we will help him. If one dog bites the other dog to death, it will not be fun!
We need to temporarily go into chaos there. The more chaotic the better. Only when they are in chaos can we distract our pressure. Don't forget that Zhu Yifeng, the current Fujian Futai lord, is fighting and sharpening his knives. With them tossing in southern Fujian, Zhu Yifeng has to consider who to deal with him.
How about your father-in-law? After listening to our words, do you think this gun should be sold to Chu Cailao or not?
After listening to Yu Xiaotian's words, Liu Laoliu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You still have a reason to say it!" According to what you said, I also feel that if this gun is not sold to Chu Cailao, it will be wrong! Well, just sell it to him! But the price can't be low! Why do you have to kill him fiercely!"
"Haha! This is good to say, good to say! It won't be cheap for them!" Yu Xiaotian laughed.
