Zhang Tie asked Li Tao to take the group to visit the production base of Burning Energy, and the other guards continued to patrol the base.
This alcohol production base is Zhang Tie's, but Zhang Tie is also the first time to come here, looking at the tall iron cans and pipes in this alcohol production base, Zhang Tie also feels fresh.
"The guards at this base are well arranged, and the response speed is very fast, is it your newly recruited manpower" Zhang Tie asked Li Tao, who led the way, while looking at the equipment in the alcohol production base.
"Qiqi Sect Master, those guards are all the guards of the Zhongpin merchant group operating in the Xia, after the alcohol base was built, some of them were transferred in the Xia, specifically responsible for the safety and security of this alcohol production base, a few days ago, there was a bloody disaster in Tongzhou, I heard that there were many bloody people from Tongzhou into the Yangui Mountains, and I was worried that there would be problems here, so I transferred everyone over."
"You live here yourself" "There are less than five ninth-level masters among these guards, and the strength of the others is between the fourth and eighth levels, I heard that all the blood people are at the level of ninth-level warriors, so these guards can't cope with it, during this time, I moved to the alcohol production base."
Li Tao is already a thirteenth-level general, with him stationed here, the ordinary ten or eight blood people are not his opponents at all, even if there are a large number of blood people to attack, he can at least resist for a while, and with this array of his resistance, as long as a distress signal is issued, the master guards of various families in Dongyang City can organize to come to support.
"During this time, you yourself lived in the alcohol production base, and the guards of the merchant group were also transferred, so wouldn't the business of your merchant group be delayed?"
"Compared with what the sect master did, my little business, even if I lose it, it's nothing" Li Tao said carefully, without merit, without pride, still looking cautious.
Zhang Tie glanced at Li Tao, and secretly sighed in his heart, sure enough, he was a child of a wealthy family like the Li family of Wanshengtang in Wuhua County, Zhuozhou, and his vision and wrist were not comparable to ordinary businessmen, this Li Tao knew that as long as he could do the things he explained this time and do it to his satisfaction, this was his chance to change his fate, and his Zhongpin merchant group with an annual turnover of only hundreds of thousands of gold coins was nothing in the eyes of an earth knight like Zhang Tie, it was nothing, it was simply a child's play.
What Zhang Tie also knows is that in order to build this alcohol production base in three months, in the past six months, Li Tao has really worked hard, and the budget for the construction of this alcohol production base is 5 million gold coins, but in fact, in order to complete the task assigned to him, Li Tao himself threw six or seven hundred thousand gold coins into this alcohol production base.
This money, one is used to allow some equipment suppliers in Yanzhou to quickly take out the various equipment needed for this alcohol production base, the second is to coordinate all aspects of resources and relationships, and the other is to set up heavy rewards, so that he invited those workers, technicians and engineers to work overtime to ensure quality and quantity to complete the work, under Li Tao's overall hard work, this alcohol generation base was built in three months, in less than 100 days.
And those gold coins that were smashed into it were all the money that Li Tao had earned from running a business group over the years, for a small business group like the Zhongpin Business Group, the funds of six or seven hundred thousand gold coins were enough to make a business group bleed heavily from the muscles and bones, and it was also most of the wealth that Li Tao had accumulated over the years, but this Li Tao did not complain, did not say that it was difficult, and did not reach out to the Iron Dragon Sect to ask for money again, but gritted his teeth and handled this matter well.
The construction of this alcohol base was completed in three months, and Li Tao's credit can be ranked first.
Li Tao's hard work can be seen from his appearance, in half a year, compared to when Zhang Tie first saw him, he was completely dark and thin.
What's even more rare is that after the first batch of alcohol in the alcohol base was produced, Li Tao himself already clearly knew that the alcohol produced here was extraordinary, and once it was taken out, it would cause shock and attention from all parties, but this news was not leaked until he came back, and the most important thing is that the combustion yeast in the most critical reactor in the alcohol production base has not been taken away from here, Zhang Tie is the creator of those combustion yeasts, If those energy-burning yeasts here were taken away or something went wrong, Zhang Tie wouldn't have to come back to know.
Li Tao had done alcohol before, and he knew what was the most important thing in this alcohol base, but he didn't do anything when Zhang Tie was away, and he withstood the test of interests, and he was definitely trustworthy.
Such a person who can do things, has vision, is loyal, and dares to put heavy bets on himself, of course Zhang Tie will not let him lose his capital, not only will he not let him lose his capital, but also vigorously promote and reuse, so that his scenery is incomparable, and now what he is missing is a person like Li Tao who can do things and is loyal, so he came to Zhulong County this time to bring Zhang Su and Tang De.
"Do you remember what I said to you at the beginning, as long as you do this well for me, I will give you a wealth and fortune, so that you can return to your hometown one day, so that the elders of the Li family of Wanshengtang will be polite in front of you" "Remember," Li Tao said carefully.
"Just remember, you don't have to do that Zhongpin merchant group in the future," Zhang Tie said lightly.
Li Tao's footsteps stagnated slightly.
"That little business group business, too small, can't make a few dollars a year, it's not worth your doing, you just stay by my side to do things, just be the energy manager of the candle dragon collar" Zhang Tie glanced at Li Tao with an interesting gaze, "This alcohol base is just the beginning in the candle dragon collar, the scale of 500,000 tons is just the first step to ask for directions, in the future, the production of the fuel energy alcohol of the candle dragon collar will reach at least 2 million tons, as the conditions are ripe, I will also establish a base in these places in Youzhou, Yanzhou, Tongzhou, etc., You are responsible for the alcohol base in the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion, as for the treatment, when I first came to Youzhou, I was Youzhou Tingwei, and Youzhou Tingwei's salary is 1,000 stone of gold per year, and by my side, you can choose the remuneration of 1,000 stone of gold per year, or you can choose the remuneration of 1% of the profits of the entire alcohol industry in the entire Northeast Governor's Mansion in the future, as you like" A strange flush appeared on Li Tao's face, he took a deep breath, and bowed down to Zhang Tie again, "Li Tao sees the lord, from now on, Li Tao is willing to serve the lord's dogs and horses, Li Tao has confidence in the lord's alcohol business, and is willing to choose one percent of the remuneration of this industry in the Northeast Governor's Mansion as a reward."
Zhang Tie laughed, this Li Tao is really smart enough, and he knows current affairs, and when the opportunity comes, he can seize it at once.
Under this bow, the relationship between Li Tao and Zhang Tie was no longer just an ordinary person under the rule of Zhang Tie and Candle Dragon, but became the first retainer to be subdued by Zhang Tie.
In Taixia, the retainer is almost as close as the relationship between master and apprentice, and those who become retainers can enjoy a lot of special powers, but they will also receive a lot of restrictions, and their rights and obligations are one everywhere.
If Li Tao was not Zhang Tie's retainer, and Zhang Tie asked Li Tao to be killed for no reason, he would be guilty of murder, and after becoming Zhang Tie's retainer, if Zhang Tie used family methods to kill Li Tao, there would be no problem.
Similarly, if Li Tao had an enemy before, that enemy could only be carried by Li Tao himself, and now Li Tao has become Zhang Tie's general, then this enemy will be carried by Zhang Tie.
Some wealthy families in Taixia have family generals, Guangnan Wangfu has family generals, Huaiyuan Tang also has family generals, and the more powerful, more powerful and stronger family generals can have, which is the embodiment of the strength of a family and a knight.
Zhang Tie decided to take the Candle Dragon Leader as his foundation in Taixia this time, and naturally he wanted to consolidate this foundation in all aspects and expand his team to rule the Candle Dragon Leader.
Zhang Su is his cousin, Tang De and him are also teachers and friends, neither of them can become his generals, this Li Tao is fortunate to become the first general by Zhang Tie's side.
Bai Zhengnan and the others all looked at Zhang Tie and subdued this Li Tao in a few words, what Li Tao had done before Bai Zhengnan and the others didn't know, but everyone could see that Zhang Tie was very serious about this Li Tao.
Thinking that this person might be in charge of the business of Burning Energy Alcohol next to Zhang Tie in the future, even Bai Zhengnan took a deep look at Li Tao and remembered the appearance of this person in his heart.
As the sun rises, the workers in the alcohol production base begin to arrive on time, and black smoke representing production also rises from the chimney of the base.
These workers are also from Li Tao's former alcohol factory, and some are newly recruited by him.
Li Tao took Zhang Tie and others to visit every production link of this alcohol base.
Bai Zhengnan and others saw the hill-like corn stalks stacked in the base, and saw that the corn stalks were sent to a huge pulverizer by a conveyor belt, and then entered the cooking workshop for cooking, and then were diverted into those huge reactors to complete fermentation.
The process of this fermentation reaction takes 21 days, and after 21 days, the substances in the reactor will be diverted again, and there is a high-pressure steam pipe connected to the reactor, and through the high-pressure steam, the different substances shunted out of the reactor will enter different places again.
The pale yellow liquid that flows out of the top pipe of the reactor is the combustion alcohol, the pipe in the middle of the reactor flows out of the plant fiber slurry, and the residue at the bottom of the reactor is a special organic fertilizer The pulp of the plant fibers enters the new production line again, and after being mixed with a pile of crushed coarse cinders, it becomes a mass of black balls like honeycomb coal that can be burned, which are pulled away by a truckload of people:
