"Pong chuck!!!" The crisp sound of broken porcelain came from the room again. The maid and guards at the door subconsciously shrank their heads. This was the tenth thing that had been smashed today. The old man inside had been in this state after seeing the urgent case together this morning.

"Sir, are still on fire?" A middle-aged man wearing glasses and carrying a briefcase asked the guards in a low voice at the door.

"Yes, it's starting this morning."

"Oh..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but looked at the briefcase in his hand and still plucked up the courage to knock on the wooden door.

"Come in!" The sound coming from inside was filled with a strong anger.

"Sir!" The middle-aged man carefully avoided the broken pieces on the ground and walked to his desk.

"Han Quan, is there anything wrong?" He was very polite to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"It's not a good thing." The middle-aged man who asked Han Quan smiled bitterly and handed over several documents with a sad face.

"TMD, it's really a mess that people drink cold water when they are in trouble. This boy named Duan has such great ability, even foreigners are helping him!" After reading the documents, Old Man Lu angrily threw them on the table.

"Sir, these two foreign companies also have some contact with us, and there are also arms business. What do you think? Do you need to continue to detain goods or..."

"Let it go! Let it go!" Old Man Lu waved helplessly. Although he wanted to continue to hold on to these goods, although he didn't take several foreign companies seriously, he really offended the foreigners and would be a big blow to his future source of arms.

"Okay, sir, I'll reply to them now. But sir, I don't know whether to say something or not..."

"Tell me, while I'm in a bad mood today, I'll say all the bad things together!!!"

"Then I'll say it. My lord, my subordinates believe that this time the behavior of Xingmin Company is a short-sighted approach. Although it can alleviate our current temporary needs, it has made all the businessmen investing in Gui heart."

"Han Quan, I know that this is inappropriate, but you have also seen the situation this time. The people in Beijing are too tight, and I did this out of helplessness."

"Sir, no matter how difficult it is, you should not do these things to kill chickens and get eggs. However, since the matter has happened, the most important thing is to win back people's hearts immediately. I don't know why this matter has spread outside, which greatly reduces our image among merchants. Now some merchants who are interested in investing in and setting up factories in Guizhou have reconsidered whether to invest in and buy property in Guizhou. I think if this can be done by Li Zhongying, who can send a telegram to inform him that this matter was done by Li Zhongying himself without authorization, and has nothing to do with adults. At the same time, he lowered the taxes paid by Industrial Company and gave Duan Guoxue more full efforts and territory to show that he was rebuilding the old."

"Didn't this... reduce taxes to reduce our income even more?" Old Man Lu was a little hesitant when he heard Han Quan's suggestion.

"Sir, although lowering taxes will reduce our income, you forgot that when Duan Guoxue started to build Xingmin Company, none of us had expected that in just two years, Xingmin Company would develop so fast and large. Reducing taxes can allow this boy to have more funds to invest in and buy more industries. Isn't this increasing more taxes?"

"Well... there is some truth, but this kid hides his hand and quietly arms such a powerful and always armed force, so that he can continue to do this. I'm worried..."

"Sir, I don't understand military affairs, but I know that since this kid's scheming has been so deep and hidden for so long, it is hard to guarantee that he has even more terrible powers that have not been revealed yet. Now this kid is no longer the little businessman we just kneaded two years ago. Since he can't destroy him, why don't he get along with him? It is hard to guarantee that this kid can help us in the future."

"I'll think about it again..." Old Man Lu was a little confused.

"Then I will take my leave first."

"Brother Guiping, what do you think about Nanning's handling of this matter?" Duan Guoxue gently placed the telegram in his hand on the table and asked Yang Guiping, who was sitting opposite him drinking tea.

"I don't have any opinion, it's just a typical politician's way of saying one thing, doing another." Yang Guiping spit out the tea powder in his mouth and said contemptuously.

"Haha, no matter what he did, at least they gave a signal, a signal of peace."

"Bah! The word "peace" always sounds so awkward when you say it from your mouth." Yang Guiping and Duan Guoxue have been in charge for more than a year, and they also have a little understanding of Duan Guoxue's ambitions in mind. However, he also likes Duan Guoxue's low-key route of keeping a low profile and buying a property to build a strong country.

"No matter what, people have already lowered their attitude, so we always have to express something." Duan Guoxue, who was despised, was not unhappy at all. Being able to make such a joke means that Yang Guiping has no dissatisfaction with him.

"In this way, they didn't take any advantage of this matter, but instead suffered a loss. We didn't want the lion to make a big request. I think it would be better to give Baise to you to manage. Anyway, there are poor mountains and bad waters in the west, and there are many bandits. I believe Old Man Lu will not object if you want to go to these territories. But I know that you are very envious of the minerals there."

"Brother Guiping understands me, so I'll do it. Brother Guiping helped me draw a telegram, saying that we regretted this incident, and also expressed support and praise for the Guangxi government's wise decision. As for how to tell Old Man Lu that we want Baise, Brother Guiping has a flexible mind, so I'll ask you."

"I knew there was nothing good about you." Yang Guiping took the tea in the tea cup and picked up the documents and left Duan Guoxue's office.

Duan Guoxue's request was quickly answered. Old Man Lu not only agreed to his request to take charge of Baise area, but also assigned some remote and poor counties such as Bama and Nandan in Hechi area to Duan Guoxue. However, he required Duan Guoxue to increase the amount of taxes and grain payments from these places in three years. On the surface, it was thrown to Duan Guoxue a mess that no one wants, but only Duan Guoxue knows how much he wants here.

In just one Nandan County, a major mine accident concealed by the concealment of a major mine accident in later generations made many Chinese people notice this small county for the first time. Duan Guoxue only learned that Nandan's tin mineral output and storage are so astonishingly high, and the output actually accounts for half of the world. Although tin mines do not want iron and copper to occupy mainstream consumption resources, they are also an important resource for the development of the electronics industry. In the next ten years, they will develop the electronics industry vigorously.
