Chapter 33: Subduing Wang Yongjiang, a Talented Figure with Over 90 in Internal Affairs!
People from Northeast China are indeed passionate.
They drink three meals a day, for three days straight.
Then, Zhang Xue Ming took Wang Yongjiang on a tour of the newly constructed thermal power plant and waterworks.
Finally.
He also showed him a ‘military exercise’ of the family’s personal guard cavalry regiment!
Although Wang Yongjiang didn’t immediately bow down.
He was deeply impressed by Zhang Xue Ming.
Seeing that the time was right.
Zhang Xue Ming held Wang Yongjiang’s hand and said with emotion.
“I, Zhang Xue Ming, am still young and rash. The construction of Daqing still needs a leader!”
“I only ask for your talents, Mr. Wang, to lend a hand!”
“Help me open up new territory!”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yongjiang’s expression turned serious.
He straightened his clothes and said.
“They say a tiger father cannot have a dog son, but today, I see that Young Marshal, you already have the bearing of a tiger dominating the Northeast, and a dragon soaring through the heavens.”
“I, Wang Yongjiang, will be your loyal servant, at your beck and call!”
“I will help Young Marshal achieve great things!”
At this moment, Wang Yongjiang was showering him with flattery.
Especially since his entire family had been brought to Daqing.
And right after his promise.
A system prompt suddenly sounded.
“Ding! Respected Host, you have gained the loyalty of a Retainer.”
【Wang Yongjiang】
【Position: None】
【Loyalty: 69% (The higher the level, the harder it is to increase loyalty)】
【Level: Purple (Epic)】
【Abilities: 1. Tao Zhu Gong (Commercial Profitability +100%) 2. Finance (Can take out a void loan: 10 million Silver Yuan) 3. Investment Attraction (Chance to obtain rare factory blueprints)】
【Special Effect: (Investment Attraction)】
【Place this character card into the strategy interface】
【Chance to obtain rare factory blueprints】
“Ding! Since this is the first time the Host has obtained a Retainer, reward: Strategic Lottery Draw X1”
....
“Holy crap! Retainer!”
In ancient times, there was a special class, the ‘士’!
‘士’ are Retainers who serve their master.
There is also the idiom ‘礼贤下士’ (treating talented people with courtesy and respect).
At this moment, Zhang Xue Ming didn’t expect that by subduing Wang Yongjiang, he would truly become his Retainer.
“But... system, why isn’t Ma Mao Xun a Retainer?”
“Ding! Respected Host, this person is a [Troop Conversion Card] conversion, and doesn’t count as a Retainer. Similarly, the 300 bear experts and 100 engineering personnel given by the system don’t count as Retainers, because their loyalty is locked at 100%, and they won’t betray you.”
Oh!
Zhang Xue Ming basically understood.
Ma Mao Xun and these people given by the system.
Should be considered ‘tools’!
For example, if I told Ma Mao Xun to shoot himself now, he would probably just shoot me without a second thought.
This kind of operation is like an AI robot.
But Wang Yongjiang!
If I told him to kill himself, based on his 69% loyalty, he would probably pack his bags and run away with his family in the dead of night.
Zhang Xue Ming rolled his eyes, “On the surface, he’s thumping his chest and making loud promises, saying he’ll be at my beck and call, but then you look at his loyalty and it’s only 69%.”
“This Wang Yongjiang is truly an old fox!”
“Looks like I need to cultivate him further.”
In his previous life, Wang Yongjiang saw that the Feng Army was acting unjustly, and immediately feigned illness to retire. This time, I need to bring out all his potential.
However, Wang Yongjiang’s attributes!
Are truly absurdly strong!
Commercial Profitability +100%
Void loan of 10 million.
Plus: Investment Attraction (Chance to obtain rare factory blueprints)
If I could see his internal affairs attributes, his level would probably be no less than 90!
Placed in the Three Kingdoms, he would probably only be weaker than top strategists like Chen Qun and Xun Yu.
He’s on the same level as others.
Zhang Xue Ming directly placed Wang Yongjiang’s card into the strategic interface.
The next second.
He directly took out a 10 million void loan.
In an instant, as a flash of light passed by.
A mountain of silver appeared in Zhang Xue Ming’s void warehouse.
“Ding! Respected Host, you have taken out a 10 million void loan, with a loan term of 99 years, and an interest rate of 0%.”
This time, Zhang Xue Ming was surprised again, 99 years, with an interest rate of 0%!
How absurd is this!
His wife gives him 2 million in allowance every month.
And his first retainer gives him a 10 million void loan.
What does a loan term of 99 years mean?
It means Zhang Xue Ming doesn’t plan on paying it back at all. Just let it be an outstanding debt.
After all, he won’t live to be 120, right?
“Wait a moment, Mr. Wang!”
Zhang Xue Ming stood up and walked to a nearby hut.
While Wang Yongjiang was bewildered.
He came out carrying a box.
“Mr. Wang, your family just arrived in Daqing, and you were in a hurry. You probably need some household items to make your home feel comfortable.”
“Here’s 10,000 yuan. I’ll send someone to take you to Harbin tomorrow. If you want to buy anything, just go ahead and buy it!”
Hiss——
On the side.
Looking at the piles of silver yuan in the wooden box, forming a small mountain.
Wang Yongjiang couldn’t help but gasp.
He is currently working as a logistics officer in the Fengtian Marshal’s Mansion, and receives a monthly salary of 60 yuan.
And Zhang Xue Ming, with a single gesture, gave him 10,000.
10,000 yuan.
Even in Beijing, you could buy two high-quality houses with that amount.
This Young Marshal is actually letting him use it as pocket money!
At this moment, Wang Yongjiang was moved.
“I, Wang, dare not not serve the Young Marshal to death!”
Loyalty +5
Seeing the prompt appearing above Wang Yongjiang’s head.
Zhang Xue Ming smiled slightly.
He thought to himself: Brother, do you know that this money is actually coming out of your own pocket!
This is called taking a loan to work!
Paying yourself!
He said in a loud voice.
“Ah! Brother Wang, please accept it! Please accept it! I won’t feel comfortable if you don’t!”
Zhang Xue Ming felt a pang of guilt.
He took a 10 million void loan from Wang Yongjiang, but only gave him 10,000 yuan.
Am I... a little too much?
