It doesn't matter if you are playing with literature, playing with contacts, the security team doesn't matter, if you have the ability, you go to the league council to scold the street, and whoever frowns is a bastard.However, after the martial arts was staged, there were casualties, and it was 100% the responsibility of the security team.

Up to the alliance government and down to the refugees, none of them would go into the details of why this happened. They would only blindly blame the security team for their incompetence, poor management, and failure to do a good job.And once it got to that point, the first person to bear the brunt was himself, the captain, and the size of the scapegoat was just right!

Chapter 718 One Stone Stirs Up Waves 3

"What is the origin of Populus euphratica and Wang Gang?" Complaints are complaints, and the work that should be done should be done as best as possible. For example, first understand the management of Ping An Transportation Company.

There is no need to worry about the backgrounds of Feihu Sun and Mrs. Xiushan, but they are relatively unfamiliar to other people, and it is not clear whether there is a shadow of a certain force behind them.

"I have contacted Populus euphratica and investigated it carefully. It seems that he has no background. He is a new refugee who has just arrived. He is not alone, but a group of about 7 or 8 people. His fortune is very fast and very strange. The group extermination case of Youlong Company that happened in September was closely related to this group of people, but no conclusive evidence has been found so far.

At the very beginning, various forces in our jurisdiction united to suppress it, and they also asked us for help, but the effect was not great.Did not expect to come together so soon.It seems that they are not only fierce but also very intelligent, which is not easy to deal with. "

As a witness, Zhang Qian has a great say on this issue, and he has indeed carefully investigated the details of this group of people.Now I told the story from the beginning to the end, and added my own analysis and evaluation.

"...This is even more troublesome...Where is that Wang Gang?" Wu Libin's face darkened as he heard it. If one side is obviously weaker, the process of this competition may be gentler. I'm afraid that the two sides are evenly matched, and no one will be afraid of the other. , then the means of struggle will definitely escalate.

"It's the first time I've seen this person today. Generally speaking, he's not a fuel-efficient lamp. Before coming to your place, I went to the management office next door to inquire. He just moved from the safe zone in the east of the city. How many people are under his command?" Ten coachmen, mostly from the Four Provinces Alliance.

In just over two years, they have developed from a small transportation team to a large transportation team with a very high scale, and their ability is not bad.According to him, he had a falling out with the veterans of the transportation team, and then he took some of the coachmen to defect to Populus euphratica, but I really can't believe this. "

When it comes to Wang Gang and Zhang Qian, it is not so smooth. He has just inquired about the past of the Limin Racing Team from the management office, so he cannot make an accurate evaluation.However, relying on intuition and professional sensitivity, he still questioned Wang Gang's arrival.

"One group is from the Northwest, and the other is from the Northeast... This is the challenge of the new forces to the old forces!" Touching the beard stubble on his chin, Wu Libin sighed involuntarily, but the theme did not seem to match the current topic. .

"New force?" Naturally, Yu Qian didn't understand. Even though he joined the security team very early, he could be regarded as a founding veteran, but he was not as comprehensive as Wu Libin when looking at the problem.

"We went back to the base for a meeting a few days ago. The security team had to expand at least two squadrons, isn't it just to prepare for the arrival of new refugees? Habits are very different from here.

When the number is large enough, it will definitely be a new force, and it will definitely not be content with the status quo.In fact, for the entire safe zone, refugees from the four-provincial alliance are also new forces.

Most of the interests here are in the hands of the first batch of refugees. In the past, their strength alone was not enough to fight for it. Now that another force has joined in, the situation will be chaotic. "

For his capable subordinate Wu Libin, he is still willing to talk about current affairs. Let Zhang Qian know more about the general trend so that he can prepare in advance at work, which is tantamount to letting himself worry less.

"It's not just the refugees, I'm afraid the alliance government will also have to fight. These refugees are a new force in our eyes, and they are new interests in the eyes of the officials. Who doesn't want to reach out and grab them."

But what worries him is not only the struggle between the refugee forces. In fact, this is really not a big trouble. It is nothing more than the alliance mobilizing the army to carry out another big purge.No matter how tough the refugees were, they couldn't resist the attack of the formed army, and they were wiped out in an instant.

What makes him uneasy is actually the factional struggle within the alliance government. Almost every underground force in the safe zone has the shadow of alliance factions behind it.To put it bluntly, the refugee forces are the extension of the coalition government factions, and if there is chaos at the top, there will be even more chaos at the bottom.

In this way, as a security team, it will become a sandwich biscuit. Regardless, if the underground forces are allowed to fight openly and secretly, the refugees will definitely be greatly affected, and they will definitely be considered unqualified for their work.Try to manage it, and it will touch the interests of the alliance's top management, and in the end, the work performance is still unqualified.

No one can draw a conclusion on what to do. We can only vaccinate the subordinates first, so that everyone has a string in their minds, and they will think more about it when they encounter problems.

"...Then who do we care about?"

Zhang Qian understood part of it, but he didn't fully understand the leader's intentions. This may be the root cause of his high qualifications, but his position has not been promoted.Lack of political savvy and struggle experience may also be talent, some people are not born with this kind of brain.

"Don't rush to make a decision, let's talk about it after looking at it... But there is a purpose that cannot be broken, and innocent refugees are not allowed to be hurt. Whoever touches this red line, don't ask me for instructions and arrest it!" Wu Libin rubbed his face, a little confused Lovely.

There are three deputy directors in the management office, all capable of acting alone, but the four squadron leaders in the security team are more dull than the other.Either he just acts as a decoration all day long and doesn't do anything, or someone like Zhang Qian knows how to do it and can't figure it out.

How can you get the leader to make a clear statement about this kind of thing? Even if you screw up, you will still blame me!But they are really confused if they don't make it clear, so they have to say that it is written in the safety zone management regulations, and no one can find fault!

Ping An Transportation Company was listed for business, and a director of the logistics department of the alliance came to preside over the ceremony, which is not a big deal.However, the disputes behind this kind of major event will only be concerned and worried by some people, and the vast majority of refugees in the safe zone will not feel it at all.

At most, they suddenly discovered that the company's signboard was hung in front of the dilapidated small building, or they clearly felt that there were more carriages on the streets of the fifth district.More is more, few people think about where these carriages come from, and what changes will evolve in the future.

Not only was the wind and waves calm in the south of the city safety zone, but the gates of Changfeng and Zhongyi transportation companies located in the east of the city safety zone were also as calm as ever.There was still an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages that should come here every day to wait for work. It was not because the lack of more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages made the transportation capacity stretched, nor did it increase the freight cost because of the addition of one more transportation company.

In fact, it really doesn't matter. There are only 20 horse-drawn carriages. Compared with the overall transportation capacity of the transportation market, it is a drop in the bucket. The volume is too small to disturb the market at all.

After the establishment of Ping An Transportation Company, it did not rush into the original transportation market, but devoted all its transportation capacity to the muck removal work in the new sixth district.This project alone is almost too busy, and I don't have the energy to grab other people's jobs, and I can't afford to grab them.

Sun Changzhong did not take any measures for the establishment of Ping An Transportation Company. After so many years of operation, the proportion of freight that the alliance government handed over to the private transportation team is basically fixed and will not change easily.

In his opinion, Ping An Transportation Company is nothing more than Sun Feihu's personal act of resistance. Not only does it have no impact on Changfeng and Zhongyi Transportation Company, but it also gets rid of the heavy annual voluntary transportation tasks in the construction industry. Why not do it.

Of course, it is impossible to completely ignore it, and it is necessary to make some appearance to scare the chickens and monkeys. For example, the license plate and pass of the albatross transport team can no longer be rented.

At the same time, the Limin transportation team has also eaten some melons. Good jobs and fat jobs are no longer just queued behind the fleet directly under the transportation company to enjoy as before, but are replaced by several transportation teams in the southern safety zone. .

This is tantamount to sending a notice to all the operators of the transport fleet. If anyone takes the job of the Ping An Transport Company, he will not be able to get a transport order from the Changfeng and Zhongyi Transport Companies in the future.Anyone who can't control his own coachman will follow suit.

The means are always rough and rough, but the effect...is open to discussion!In fact, there is a better way to win over its transport teams and drivers, but for a long-term monopoly company, it seems that it has lost this way of thinking and can only use coercive methods. After all, it takes peace of mind to do so.

Chapter 719 One Stone Stirs Up Waves 4

But doing so was indeed effective. The two small teams that had already negotiated did not dare to take on the work of Ping An Company, and they retreated for various reasons.Lu Wei'an, who was in charge of the company's outreach business, didn't know how to persuade others, and was a little helpless, so he could only come back and complain.

Populus euphratica is really not very good at doing business, let alone have any fancy ideas.The rest of the fellows who were born as gold diggers were just like him. When they talked about going to the red zone to collect supplies, they were enthusiastic.

At this time, only Hong Tao could come forward. He only held the post of logistics supervisor in Ping An Transportation Company.

"Master Zhen, you are an old hand in this industry, help us to think about what to do!" But this time he didn't directly say the solution, nor did he inspire everyone to use their brains and brainstorming, but pointed the finger at the arms and legs Feng Zhen was still wearing a plaster cast.

Since the scalper arrived in the safe area in the south of the city, he was arranged to live in the courtyard on the north side of the small building, opposite to Lu Wei'an.He wasn't stupid either, he knew within a few days that his future fate was bound up with these gangster-like people, and he basically accepted his fate without much struggle.

His daughter has already attended Sheng Zhangsong's private school with several other children, and she is very happy every day.Even for the sake of his daughter, he, a father, has to climb into the boat of thieves.

"...Increase the shipping fee, explain the current situation clearly, and let them understand that this is not a one-shot deal. I guess it's almost done!" Feng Zhen still has a lot of experience in what the drivers think and fear.

Not to mention the transportation team in the east safety zone, that is Sun Changzhong's base camp.But the transport teams in the southern safety zone really don't need to be too afraid, as long as they can provide long-term livelihood, none of them are timid.

"Well, let's do this! Explain to them that the construction of the new safety zone will last at least until next summer, and there will be continuous construction material transportation tasks after that. I dare not say too much, and it is more than enough to feed dozens of carriages!

Don't just talk about it, let's increase the shipping cost by 50.00% first!You find a tricycle and take Master Zhen to talk with you, and he will follow you in business from now on, first take the position of deputy director of the business department! "

This method is also simple and practical, not to mention brilliant, but the effect is not necessarily bad.Hong Tao actually thought so too. The reason why he asked Feng Zhen was to see his attitude.Are you sincerely defecting, or are you in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han.

And it's not enough to just express your opinion, you have to do something to let everyone know that you Zhenye has defected to the Ping An Transportation Company, so that you can barely, temporarily, and partially feel relieved if you have no way out.

There was still chewing sound around the dining table, Hu Yang and the others were not interested in this topic at all.Lu Wei'an didn't say anything, but he took out a small notebook and wrote down these instructions clearly.After living together for several months, if he still can't see who counts what he says, then his life will be in vain.

"50.00%? That's too much!" Only Feng Zhen was still ignorant. When he heard that the shipping fee had been raised so much, he couldn't help turning his attention to Hu Yang.

"Is it more than 50.00%?" Hu Yang turned his attention to Hong Tao again, not sure if it was a question or a rhetorical question.

"Not much at all! There is a price to be paid for Sun Changzhong's monopoly of licenses, and there is a price to be paid for taking transportation tasks from the alliance government. There is also a price to be paid for feeding the company's direct fleet and so many people. These costs will eventually be reflected in the freight. , In other words, his operating costs are high.

Unlike him, we don't have so many hidden costs, and we don't need to invest a lot of public relations expenses.Now the Infrastructure Department of the Logistics Department has to send tasks even if they are looking for money. As long as they can be completed on schedule, it is fine to increase the freight.

In this case, why do we need to deduct a large part of the shipping fee? Let the drivers get real benefits. They will be our voluntary propagandists, helping the company to advertise every minute and every second, attracting more People come to defect. "

Regarding the shipping fee, Hong Tao originally thought that the transportation company took away the bulk, and the drivers could only gnaw at the bones.But after he actually saw the contract signed by the Infrastructure Department of the Logistics Department and Sun Feihu, he realized how unimaginative his brain was.

To be sure, the alliance government has done a pretty good job in this regard, at least it hasn't withheld too much funds from work-for-relief funds.According to the standard they gave, the transportation fee would increase three times, and the transportation company with empty gloves and white wolves would still make money.

Now that there is so much space, Hong Tao doesn't intend to use more despicable means to compete with Sun Changzhong.Let's save trouble, I will fight the price and fight a price war with you!

However, this price war is the opposite. It is not to desperately lower the cost and freight, but to increase the freight as much as possible to please the driver.As for the coalition government, it can be ignored.

Sun Changzhong didn't see through this issue. In order to monopolize the transportation industry, he devoted a lot of energy to attracting upstream customers. He wanted to hold the waybill with one hand and the necks of the drivers with the other to eat as much as possible.

But he overlooked a key issue, this market is not a seller's market, but a buyer's market.In other words, the Alliance Government doesn't care about paying more freight, but cares more about how to quickly complete the construction goal. Compared with a little freight, the benefits of resuming production are greater.

What Hong Tao has to do now is to use higher salaries to unite more drivers with Ping An Transportation Company.As long as there is enough labor in hand, the order of the Union Government will be transferred soon.

At that time, even if Sun Changzhong came to his senses and joined in the price war, he would be in a passive state.The reason is simple, who made you drink blood from the coachman every day for so many years, your reputation is bad.

In the past, the coachmen were unable to resist, but now they have, even if the freight offered by Ping An Transportation Company is a little lower than that of Changfeng and Zhongyi, as long as there is work to do, they will not leave.

As for whether using the price war to hurt Sun Changzhong will lead to more intense conflicts and more despicable means, Hong Tao has never considered this issue, or it has always been included in the calculation.

This is an inevitability, and it cannot be feared and there is no need to fear it.In fact, I am not very good at doing business, but I am better at solving troubles with crooked tricks.At that point, Sun Changzhong will be more passive. Unless the alliance government is willing to step forward, the two transportation companies, Changfeng and Zhongyi, will basically come to an end.

"Heilong, just do as Brother Shu said. You and I are both refugees, so it's okay to let the refugees earn more money. Brother Mouse, hurry up and eat. I have something to talk to you after eating." Fat Sheep put down the bowl and was very upset. Impatiently, he waved his hand at Lu Wei'an, signaling to stop discussing these intrigue issues.

"What's wrong? There's not enough materials!" Hong Tao was addicted to speaking, and was interrupted just as he was about to start a class, seeing that the rice in the bowl was not very fragrant.

"I have something nice to show you, come or not?" Fat Sheep got up and walked out, with a strange smile on his fat face.

"Close the door, let the dogs go!" Hong Tao stretched helplessly, had no choice but to get up and follow, and at the same time declared martial law in the small courtyard.

This is the secret signal for them to drill holes to go to the red zone. Fat Sheep only does one thing every day besides being a carriage, running to the red zone non-stop, looking for all kinds of mechanical and electronic parts, and asking Hong Tao to help repair them when they come back. Then get together.

Generators, air pumps, water pumps, bench drills, and small lathes are not missing. In addition to using them for myself, I also let Skinny Monkey and Water Snake sell a few of them on the market.Now he has become obsessed with a small crane, which he plans to transplant into a carriage.In the future, we will go out with the transportation team. We bring our own loading and unloading equipment, which looks professional!

Get into the subway tunnel under the stables, get on a rail car made of two bicycles, ride along the rails for a few minutes, and you will arrive at Shibalidian Station outside the Fourth Ring Road.

The platform is still the same, but several rooms on the platform have been tidied up.This place has been used by Hong Tao as a temporary base. Part of the room is a temporary warehouse for storing food and weapons, and part of the room is a small processing workshop for doing things that cannot be done in a small building.

Chapter 720

"Wow..." Fat Sheep likes to come here to tinker with his mechanical products when he is free, such as repairing various auto parts, generators and processing machinery.

Today, he took Hong Tao into the small workshop, went to the corner and opened a piece of tarpaulin, revealing a small workbench transformed from a stainless steel dining table, on which three relatively simple small manual machines were fixed.

"Fuck, it's fixed!"

Hong Tao recognized it at a glance. The one with the small hopper on the left is a metered chargeer, the one with a pressing arm in the middle is a sealer, and the smaller one on the right is specially equipped with a primer.This is the loading machine that he asked Fei Yang to repair, and he converted it into a manual one.

"I've tried it, and it can suppress bullets and shotgun shells of five calibers... It's just that the primer and propellant powder are not easy to find. They are sold in the market, and they are expensive!"

Fat Sheep did not use words to describe his craftsmanship, but took out the shell casings, warheads, a small bottle of propellant, and primer from the box on the workbench, and showed a complete set, reloading a pistol in just a few strokes .

"Use the captured bullets and propellant powder to make more shotgun shells, and then help me transform a batch of 9mm pistol shells, remove the bullets, drill holes with a bench drill, and fill them with lead." Not only did Hong Tao know that there were propellant powders sold in the market, I also asked Skinny Monkey to buy it and try it a little bit, but the result was that I was not sure.

The particles of that thing are a bit irregular, as if they have been crushed, maybe they were processed with the propellant in the propellant bag of the shell.If you want to use it, it can definitely be used, but there is a danger of explosion when reloading rifle bullets. Pistols and shotguns are relatively safer.

Now I don't lack rifle bullets, nor do I lack pistol bullets, but I don't have too many shotguns, so I just restock a batch for spare.In addition, the characteristics of my poor marksmanship will not change for a while, but there will definitely be many situations in the future that need to be dealt with with guns.

What should I do?When I was in Xinjiang, I solved it by increasing the caliber of the pistol. Now that there are no large-caliber pistols to use, I can only make up for it by increasing the lethality of the bullets.

I have played with guns and hunted in North America in previous lives. Many local people like to reload bullets at home, especially the bullets used for competitions and hunting. Basically, they are reloaded in order to obtain higher accuracy and lethality.

Among them, the modification method of a hunting bullet is very simple. You only need to drill a hole in the middle of the bullet, pour molten lead water into it, cool it down and polish it a little, and it will be a very lethal dum bullet.

However, after changing the weight of the warhead, whether it is necessary to increase the amount of propellant to ensure the shooting accuracy, you need to use the modified bullets to shoot a few more times for testing, take it slowly, don't worry.

"This is easy... Shall we repair the car and prepare some gasoline!"

Fat Sheep is not a pacifist, and has no obstacle to increasing the lethality of bullets.But his real interest is not in weapons, but in vehicles.He deliberately dragged Hong Tao to see the results, just to achieve the purpose of repairing the car.

As a mechanic, he has never been interested in horse-drawn carriages. He always wanted to get a big truck to drive, even if it only had a crawler type, and it didn't run as fast as a horse-drawn carriage, he wanted to try it.

"Pull it down, the alliance government won't allow refugees to own this kind of thing, what do you want to do with welded steel plates to make tanks! If you have time, get a few more water pumps. I heard Wang Gang say that this thing is expensive in the northern safety zone. I think It's up to you to change the mule and come back!"

Tracked cars!Hong Tao vetoed it without even thinking about it, not because he was afraid that the alliance government would confiscate it, but because he was afraid that the target would be exposed too early.Low-key, you must be low-key when you are a person and do things. It’s too eye-catching to drive a big crawler-type car around all day long, and you can’t answer it when you ask. It’s impossible to pick this thing up!

Speaking of picking, since the establishment of Ping An Transportation Company, there is no need to drill holes in the red zone in the middle of the night to find building materials. 20 horse-drawn carriages have to go back and forth between the construction site of New Sixth District and the South Fifth Ring Road many times a day, and they can be carried back and forth blatantly.

What is pulled out is construction waste, and it will not be completely empty when it comes back. It will bring back some wood, doors, windows, furniture and so on.As long as you don't pretend too much and hide a little bit, the alliance soldiers on guard will not be serious, and they will pass by with their eyes closed.

These materials were all used in the repair of the small building and the small courtyard at the back. By the end of December, 12 households lived in the small building and 41 households lived in the back yard, 28 of which collapsed due to heavy snow. It should be a blessing in disguise for them that the shed had to be moved here.

However, there are also troubles. With the increase of the population, the sanitation situation is sharply worse, defecating everywhere, and lice and fleas also take advantage of it.

So on the first day of the New Year, a very special scene appeared on the roof of Ping An Transportation Company.

Standing in front of the three bed boards were three men, with a wooden stick stuck in their back, and a big bow hanging from their chest, holding a bow in one hand and a hammer in the other, flicking cotton on them.On the other side, a group of elders sat on the tarpaulin and laid out the cotton that had been spun, holding a needle in one hand and thread in the other, sewing quilts!

Not only the roof, but also the east side of the building was crowded with people.There are those who dig pits, dig trenches, and carry light bricks.They are digging dry toilets and septic tanks for the residents in the yard behind the building.

This is the New Year's Sanitation Campaign launched by Hong Tao. He was the one who came up with the idea, but the lazy dogs and stupid pigs were the ones who implemented it.The two of them went door-to-door to check the sanitation, and when they found small bugs, they burned all the clothes and bedding.

The other one stayed awake half the night, lying behind the window on the third floor with a night vision goggle to peep at the refugees defecating.Anyone who dares to defecate anywhere, rush down immediately to catch the current one.

Tyranny alone can't solve the problem, so Hong Tao personally came forward and found quilts and clothes from the red zone, dried them and re-sewn them, and distributed them to the refugees who had been disinfected by lazy dogs.Then organize manpower to excavate toilets and septic tanks to solve the reality of insufficient squatting space in toilets.

Problem solved, but lazy dog ​​and stupid pig have a bad reputation.Regardless of whether they were caught or burned by the two of them, dozens of families of refugees always believed that the two men had corrupt moral character and were rich and unkind.On the contrary, the instigator, Hong Tao, became a kind person with a cold face and a warm heart. He greeted everyone who saw him with a very respectful attitude.

"See, people's hearts are very unreliable and easy to manipulate. As long as you have a certain ability to achieve information asymmetry, you can play with people's hearts in minutes. If..."

Faced with the anger of lazy dogs and stupid pigs, Hong Tao did not explain, but held a class and deeply analyzed people's hearts.In the end, I came to the conclusion that fame is all false, and ability is real.With ability, fame comes when you want it.

"If you say that, there are no good people in the world!" Lazy Dog and Bungy Pig obviously disagreed with Hong Tao's nonsense, and planned to refute.

"What do you call a good person? I have a good reputation as a hero in Xinjiang Province, but have you ever thought about it? Who can guarantee that every time I kill someone is a heinous person, not even myself.

They might suddenly lose control of their emotions due to various problems, and I just caught up with them, and they were slaughtered as gangsters.Not only is death wronged, but after death, I will be classified as a group that is not worthy of death. I use my life to polish my chivalrous name, and no one will avenge them.

The ancients once concluded that great good is evil, and great evil is good.It sounds difficult to understand, in fact, this phenomenon can often be seen from life.Tell a little story, there are two neighbors, one is a monk and the other is a butcher.

Due to work reasons, I have to get up early, one to chant sutras and the other to kill pigs.So the two made an appointment, whoever wakes up first every day will wake up the other party.After they died, the monk went to hell and the butcher went to heaven.

The monk felt that it was unfair. He felt that he had been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha all his life, but now he went to hell; the butcher killed his whole life, but he went to heaven instead.After hearing this, the Buddha said, the butcher asked the monk to get up early to chant scriptures, which is a great kindness; the monk asked the butcher to get up early to kill, a great evil!Do you think what the Buddha said makes sense? "

It's right to refute, if everyone just listens and doesn't ask, then you will be worried about Hong Tao's broken mouth and second-hand soul teacher's preferences.No, the result of the rebuttal was that he was forced to listen to half of the class, and he still had homework to answer.

"...This Buddha is fake!" Lazy Dog gave up because he was too lazy to think about it.Bungy likes to think, and thinks that it is the Buddha who is unfair.
