Faced with the persuasion of his friends, Zhou Yunrang just nodded perfunctorily. He knew what to do and knew that he just didn't talk much and didn't like to say too much when he was with others, so he felt that he was relatively introverted.

But in terms of true understanding of the overall situation, there are not many people who can surpass him in Ocean Group.

Di Xiang also knew this truth. He knew how genius his friend was, and there was no need to persuade him. After saying this, it was just a matter of rushing to talk.

"Since we have to leave this matter to two of us, we will naturally have to do it well. Your Majesty said that we should go and negotiate with Jiaozhi and Dali Kingdom, but you and I should also know that the chance of successful negotiations are not high, and we will eventually have to implement it in force..."

Zhou Yunrang's eyes showed a hint of mockery: "How do you talk about it... and said to the emperor and ministers of the Li Dynasty, hey, we want you to give up the land?

Or we go and tell the Duan family that we like your Dongchuan County, so we can buy it for a price?"

Di Xiang also laughed: "So, after all, we have to implement the force. Since we have to do something, how to fight, how to determine the strategy, how to ensure logistics, and how to fight, let's discuss how much war should we fight?"

Zhou Yung looked up at the sky: "Is your more than 20,000 people enough?"

Di Xiang scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed: "If the purpose of the battle is to defeat Jiaozhi, then the problem is not big, but Your Majesty's intention may be to form an actual occupation, occupy this land, and then provide enough food to support the Central Plains.

In this way, there are probably many troops and officials needed, so this is probably not easy to operate."

Zhou Yunrang thought for a while and said, "Since the court cannot participate, why should we find another way?"

Di Xiang's eyes lit up: "You kid have always been cunning, so talk about it quickly."

Zhou Yunrang glared at Di Xiang: "I'll probably summarize Your Majesty's needs, listen to see if this is the case.

First of all, what Your Majesty wants is Dongchuan County in Dali. I don’t know if Dongchuan County can’t produce copper, but Your Majesty just wants Dongchuan County…”

Di Xiang grinned.

"...Secondly, I don't know whether your Majesty wants to borrow the land near Shenglong Mansion or not, but it is necessary to use the land here to produce food."

Di Xiang nodded again.

"... Finally, does the food produced here belong to the court? Your Majesty has no attention at all. What he is concerned about may be that when there is a famine in the Central Plains, he can carry a large amount of food to provide relief?"

Di Xiang thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty didn't say this, but that's probably the case."

Zhou Yunrang nodded: "Then I probably understand."

Di Xiang said curiously: "Then what are you going to do?"

Zhou Yunrang said: "We have many problems now, but in the end, it is a problem that needs to penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland."

Di Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, if you go deep into the enemy's hinterland and occupy the enemy's land, we have enough military strength and strong civil affairs capabilities. After we occupy, someone will have to manage it, and then there is a logistical issue. Whether it is war or governance, we need money and food."

Zhou Yunrang nodded: "This problem is generally difficult to solve. It is possible to do it unless one country devotes its efforts to occupy another country. We are just a company. It is very difficult to do this, so we have to do it without taking a path."

"So what do you want to do?"

Zhou Yunrang showed admiration: "I had no choice but to do it just now. I just felt that this was impossible. Even with your navy's help, your navy could defeat them, but it was impossible to rely on 20,000 troops to suppress the occupied land. Not to mention Dali, it would not even be able to suppress Jiaozhi."

Di Xiang nodded helplessly: "It's very difficult to do it."

“So, we need partners.”

Di Xiang was stunned: "Partner?"

Zhou Yunrang smiled: "Yes, partner, I have been studying Your Majesty's history of making a fortune. Well, it is not just the history of making a fortune in Daxia, but the history of making a fortune in Your Majesty's just coming to Bianjing from Yingzhou.

At this stage, although His Majesty's father had entered the stage of a high-ranking official in the court, His Majesty was still young at that time and had no capital, His Majesty relied on his reliable partners to start the business.

First, he built a restaurant with His Majesty’s uncle, and then he set up an ice room, and then he even burned the world. Chengyuan, and the real rise must be the real estate company of West Lake City.

The most common trick His Majesty uses is financing. Through financing, His Majesty has found many powerful and reliable partners, which has created His Majesty’s early fund accumulation!”

Di Xiang's eyes lit up: "So, we need to raise funds too?"

But in a blink of an eye, Di Xiang shook his head again: "We are going to fight, not doing business, who dares to invest money in it!"

Zhou Yunrang glanced at Di Xiang and said, "This is business."

Zhou Yunrang started to think about it, but Di Xiang scratched his head: "You understand, we have to fight side by side, what's going on?"

Zhou Yunrang nodded: "It should be said to you. I just told you what Your Majesty wants, that is, as long as we give him what Your Majesty wants, we can make decisions about everything else, right?"

Di Xiang was stunned: "It seems like this."

Zhou Yunrang smiled and said, "That's it, so we will take these things as income. As long as someone is willing to invest, that is, as long as they are willing to provide us with logistics and personnel, the income will be theirs at that time.

As for how to operate it, I have a draft, please help me understand it.

First of all, we need to form a company, which is called...well, Nanyang Development Bank?

Well, this is not important. What is important is that this Nanyang Development Bank will own most of the land and population of Jiaozhi. Well, Dongchuan County can be used as capital for the second phase of financing.

Land and population are benefits. At that time, Nanyang Development Bank can grow grain, sugarcane, etc., and the benefits obtained are the benefits of the bank. Do you think anyone is willing to invest?”

Di Xiang was stunned: "If it were me, I would think it would be possible, but for the people in the Central Plains, this is a wilderness, so they probably wouldn't believe it?"

Zhou Yunrang smiled: "Then we have to see who is the one who comes out. One of us is the lieutenant general and the other is the general manager of Nanyang Group, one of the Ocean Group. Who is the person behind us? Any businessmen with some weight will know. Do you think they will miss such an opportunity?"
