Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 35

Chapter 35, Henry, Henry

Henry Denison Henry found that every time he came to the Governor’s camp, he would see a new surprise.

At this moment, after finishing a business trip and coming to meet the Governor again, he was accompanying Gu Hang to inspect the newly established synthetic starch production line.

He saw the workers mixing the decomposed corpses of alien monsters, the discarded wood scraps used for construction, and the leaves and branches in the nearby woodland, and feeding them into the machine. After breaking, decomposing, and reconstructing, the other end of the machine output rectangular starch blocks.

Each block is a standard weight of 50 grams, and a few blocks are enough to keep an adult from starving to death.

Although the raw materials used to produce it look a bit… strange, Henry still realized the great value of this technology.

Toxic corpses of alien monsters, wood waste, weeds with very low nutritional value, old clothes, rags… These things that were originally of very low value can be transformed into precious food in the wasteland through this machine.

What’s wrong with the raw materials being disgusting? When people are about to starve to death, why would they care so much?

This is a serious food, carbohydrates, high in calories.

Isn’t this much better than finding some wild vegetables, weeds, bugs, and mixing them with some grains to cook a bowl of thin porridge?

Henry pinched his nose and tried to eat a piece himself.

The taste… it can be said that it has no taste, like eating gypsum powder, at most with a little bit of starch that is simply decomposed by saliva, slightly sweet, and a little salty.

But it’s still the same sentence, these problems are not a problem in the wasteland.

Not to mention the environment in the wasteland where people are starving to death, even the Imperial Star Army and the Imperial Navy, when the supply is not so smooth, still have a large amount of food rationing achieved through “corpse starch”. Who is more noble than who?

This is a terrible technology.

Henry’s eyes were straight, and he said: “Incredible, I…”

Before he could finish his words, Gu Hang raised his hand to interrupt: “Don’t talk, I’ll take you to see.”

“Uh…”

Henry’s face was a little red from choking.

But then he immediately realized that this part of the business, especially the production line and technology, he could not get from the governor.

In a sense, this technology has the potential to change the whole world and has great significance.

He could only feel regretful about this, and was more determined to cling to the Governor’s thigh.

After visiting the newly established synthetic starch production line, Gu Hang took Henry to his office.

Henry, who had just finished a business deal, had a lot to report to Gu Hang.

Sitting in front of the Governor, Henry was a little reserved: “Fortunately, we have fulfilled our mission this time. The alloy plastic steel has caused a sensation among material merchants in Fuxing City. In the past, only a small amount of this material would flow out from Blackbird Heavy Industry, and they controlled it very strictly. Now there is an additional channel, and those merchants are very happy, and our goods are also very easy to sell.”

“I have basically exchanged everything you want for you. The generator set using hot limestone should be enough to build a small power plant. At the same time, I also mobilized the relationship in Garbage Town and allocated a batch of hot limestone. The textile machines are also enough to open a production line. The porridge shop propaganda station we opened has recruited more than 2,000 refugees in one go…”

“However, Fuxing City has been a little turbulent recently, which has affected our prices. The Alliance Parliament has been frantically investigating cults and heresies throughout the city, and many people have been affected, causing panic. I heard that a member of the parliament responsible for food was found to have colluded with the cult. It is said… It is said that you, Governor, are angry?”

Henry paused and glanced at Gu Hang. Seeing that there was no answer to this question, he also understood, that is, tacit consent? Maybe it was the governor who killed him.

He continued, “This incident caused a big fuss. The whole Renaissance City was in chaos. In addition, that congressman was finished, and the grain trade business he controlled was in chaos, causing turmoil in the entire market. If not for this, our alloy plastic steel could be sold at a better price.”

“But it’s not bad now. Renaissance City is the largest market nearby. Not only does it have a strong consumption capacity for various raw materials, but more importantly, it is a core trade hub connecting multiple forces and regions. I have also reached long-term agreements with many agents. They can take on a large amount of production and don’t have to worry about sales.”

“In addition, the bulletproof vests we sell have been even more popular in Junk Town. That thing can even withstand a bullet from a green-skinned orc! Now our products are completely popular in Junk Town! Recently, the range of activities of those green-skinned beasts has been expanding, and scavengers and adventurers have been clashing with them more and more frequently. Ammunition and bulletproof equipment are now the best-selling items.”

“This is an opportunity, Governor. I don’t ask for all the exclusive agency rights, but if you are willing to give me the exclusive authorization of the sales rights of the armored vest, it will be of great help to me in my efforts to obtain the qualification of the agent of Garbage Town! At that time, I can serve you better!”

After reporting a lot of situations – mainly to seek credit – Dennison Henry couldn’t help but mention the exclusive authorization that he had been thinking about.

In his opinion, Governor, you asked me to prove my loyalty, so I did it well this time, right?

I have tried every means to get you the materials and equipment you want; I paid for the people you want to deceive and brought them to you.

Is this enough to prove my loyalty?

You are not willing to give me the full authorization of the alloy plastic steel production line, but it is not too much to give me the exclusive right of bulletproof vests, right?

“Henry, Henry…” Gu Hang muttered his name, “Do you want me to say that you are smart or stupid?”

“I… I don’t understand?”

“You are so smart. You are expressing to me that you have made contributions and achievements. You are also expressing your loyalty to me, saying that you will do more and better in the future and hope to get exclusive authorization from me. You are worried that if you open up the sales of materials and bulletproof armor, more businessmen will come to me and do this business, so that you can no longer make this exclusive business.”

At this point, although he was praising him for his intelligence, Denison Henry felt embarrassed.

Gu Hang said what he thought, and it was not that difficult to guess.

But…

How can you say it directly like this? Where can I put my face?

He didn’t speak, and Gu Hang continued: “But you are so stupid that you can’t see the essence of the matter. The production capacity of alloy plastic steel is not much, and it takes time to expand the scale. Now and in the near future, you can consume all the goods, so what are you worried about?”

“Are you worried that you will not be willing to work for me wholeheartedly in the future, and I will change to a better partner?”

“Are you worried that you can’t manipulate the price of goods at will, and your future money-making will be restricted by me?”

“Are you worried that you can’t make me rely on you all the time, and you can’t be the master behind the governor in the future?”

“Henry, Henry, tell me, are these what you are worried about?”
