Chapter 2273 Economy and Party Struggle () Gao Mo and his Son

After seeing off the emperor, Gao Pragmatic was about to face the senior managers of Jinghua Ordnance Industry. Although he is the boss of Jinghua and has the power to speak for himself, there is no doubt that he needs a reason to give away such important new technology as the Wanli Three Styles to the "Royal Arsenal" that does not yet exist as soon as he opens his mouth.

Gao Jiong, the president of Jinghua Ordnance Industry, was waiting in the lounge of the racecourse, and his father Gao Mo was beside him. At this moment, the father and son were drinking tea respectively and chatting.

"Father, do you think my proposal to the emperor today was planned in advance or made on the spur of the moment?" Gao Jiong, who frowned, looked a little uneasy.

"Is there any difference?" The elderly Gao Mo was low on energy and seemed unfocused when answering his son's questions. Seeing that his son didn't respond, he added: "Can you refuse?"

These words seemed to make Gao Jiong choke up, but even so, the president of Jinghua Ordnance Industry quickly said with a pinched neck: "But these technologies are difficult problems that Jinghua Ordnance Industry has worked hard to overcome for more than ten years, and even more so. Jinghua Ordnance Industry will rely on it to become bigger and stronger in the coming years! If we hand over our technology so easily, how can we explain it to our subordinates? "

Gao Mo did not answer immediately, but took a slow sip of tea, took out a handkerchief and wiped the remaining tea stains at the corner of his mouth, and then said slowly and calmly: "Son, you know that in the past thirty years as a father, I have been by my side. What’s the most important thing you heard?”

Gao Jiong frowned and asked, "What is it?"

Gao Mo said calmly: "My master once said: You can benefit from sharing but not working alone; you can benefit from a few but not by many; benefiting alone will lead to defeat; and everyone's conspiracy will lead to failure."

Gao Jiong fell silent, seeming to be thinking. Gao Mo continued: "Back then, my master's business had just started and he made briquettes. At that time, people around him, including his father, believed that this was a good way to make a fortune and that it must be in their own hands. Moreover, With the first assistant Wen Zhenggong on the throne, no one in the capital dared to grab this business.

However, to everyone's surprise, the master quickly transferred the business to the nobles of the capital. By transferring the briquette production technology, the master and some nobles have reached a partitioned supply system, allowing the nobles to divide the scope of supply on their own.

After that, the master himself only received shares for technology transfer, and the price for these shares was not high - a little higher in the first few years, but later it was slowly reduced to 10%, and later even to 50%. From what you see, is this transaction a profit or a loss? "

Gao Jiong was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "It must be a big loss in the short term, but it seems that this business is still going on... That is to say, the nobles are still paying money to Jinghua for the briquette technology to this day. Looking at it this way , This transaction must have made a lot of money, because Jinghua has already been trading without capital. "

Gao Mo spread his hands: "Look, this is the master's business rule - don't live alone, because living alone will not last long, and all the people who covet you will definitely join forces to kill you. Even if you are strong today, Invulnerable, but how can you ensure that you will always be strong and invulnerable?

Only by sharing the benefits and allowing more people to benefit from them will these people become your friends, protect you from wind and rain, and protect you. By the same token, why was the Beiyang Maritime Trade Alliance established? Could it be that without the nobles and nobles from the capital joining us, our Jinghua family would not have been able to build the Beiyang Fleet?

Still for the same reason, why is the Nanyang Fleet willing to escort Jiangnan maritime merchants? Don't you know that the Jiangnan maritime merchants have always been dissatisfied with Jinghua, and even caused trouble for you from time to time?

Of course I know, but I also know why you can’t eat alone. Because once Jinghua completely excludes Jiangnan maritime merchants, then Jiangnan maritime merchants will completely form an alliance of interests with Nambang officials, providing eye drops and tricks to the master at the same time in the court and shopping malls.

By then, even if the master is as wise as the sea, there will always be areas that he fails to take care of. Sooner or later, flaws will be exposed and others will take advantage of him. Instead of doing this, it is better to set rules and let them know what they can and cannot do. Only when such rules are formed can everyone maintain basic peace for a long time..."

Gao Jiong shook his head and said: "But the Jiangnan Chaebol refused to give up, so this impeachment case was launched."

"This rule has never been put down in black and white on paper. Naturally, both parties will still test each other." Gao Mo smiled and said nonchalantly: "If you can't get even a foot forward, then just retreat and come back next time." Test. If one foot is impossible, can one inch be obtained?

In this way, although frictions will continue for a long time, there will never be a real loss of life and death. How do you know that this has not been expected or even planned by the master? "

Gao Jiong fell silent again, and after a while he shook his head and said: "But the Wanli Three Styles are still too important. After handing over the technology of this gun, we will no longer have any technical advantages in a short time. In case the emperor ...Well, if the Royal Arsenal takes too many orders by other means, it will be difficult for Jinghua Ordnance Industry to ensure its own profits, and future technology research and development will become a problem." Gao Moyao. He shook his head and said: "My father is old. How difficult it is to develop the technology you mentioned is not something that my father will understand in a short while. However, you still don't understand me well enough. Although he is willing to share his interests with others generously, , but will not really put your life in the hands of others.

Just sit here. If my father's prediction is correct, I will wait for the emperor to return to the palace later, and I will talk to you about the matter... This is also the reason why my father won't let you go back now. Don't worry, you will know after a while. "

Gao Jiong was startled and said, "Didn't my father say that he has been feeling unwell lately, so he left his son to talk?"

"There was someone nearby at the time, what did you ask my father to say?" Gao Mo glared at his son and lectured him angrily: "I told you before, don't just focus on studying technology - being a human being is the most important technology! "

Speaking of this, Gao Mo couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "Now that my father is still here, as long as you don't make a big mistake, no one will express any dissatisfaction with you. But if my father passes away one day, then It’s hard to say.

You have to know that the inside of Jinghua is far from monolithic, especially now that the eldest young master is getting older... Do you understand? "

Gao Jiong obviously didn't understand very well, and wondered: "But what does this have to do with me?"

"You!" Gao Mo put his hand on his forehead and said, "Why don't you understand? My father told you this..."

But before he could say anything, a call came from outside: "Old manager, I have summoned President Mingyuan."

Mingyuan is the character of Gao Jiong.

Gao Mo and Gao Jiong looked at each other. Gao Mo's eyes seemed to be saying, "Do you think I guessed it right?" and Gao Jiong's eyes seemed to be saying, "Did you really tell me?"

Gao Mo waved his hand: "Go ahead, I will give you an explanation."

"Yes, father, my son knows." Gao Jiong stood up, saluted his father, turned and left.

PS: I almost forgot about COVID-19. I didn’t expect that I had Yang again in the past few days. I had a stuffy nose and runny nose, and then my head was dizzy due to lack of oxygen. The only thing that was better than when I was Yang before was that I probably didn’t feel any pain in my body.
