Chapter 6: The Journey
The helicopter flew for more than an hour, and under the reflection of the ground indicator lights, huge silos appeared under the belly of the plane, like ugly wounds on the ground.
Since the maturity of electromagnetic catapult technology, the cost of low-orbit aviation from the ancestral satellite to the near-Earth space station has been greatly reduced, and the space travel from the ancestral star to the parent and child stars has prospered rapidly.
Xiao Qi followed Sun Yongqing and another guy, hurriedly got off the helicopter, and got into the waiting hall of the Langyuan Space Field in the wind and snow, they took the VIP passage and directly entered the downward elevator, and there was already a catapult ready for launch, waiting for them to board.
Along the way, Xiao Qi learned that another guy named Hu Rui was Sun Yongqing's legal adviser, but it seemed that some of Sun Yongqing's personal affairs were also handled by Hu Rui, and he was handling various customs clearance procedures along the way.
The lights of the downward elevator were dim, and the speed was frighteningly slow, but Sun Yongqing seemed to be unaware of it, and seemed to be no stranger.
"Is there a problem with the contract?" Sun Yongqing looked up at the top of the elevator and suddenly asked.
"The contract is nothing, I just read it carefully, if Jinyi Company breaks the contract, according to the contract, we get back 5% of the total value of the liquidated damages, there should be no problem. Hu Rui hurriedly replied.
"I'm not asking this, 5%? What's the point of 100%? If there is no nutrient solution supply for 3 months, Guoxing Company will be finished. I'm asking you if there is an exclusivity clause in the contract that Jinyi Company is not allowed to supply to other companies?" Sun Yongqing frowned.
"This ......" Hu Rui wiped the invisible sweat from his forehead and stammered unable to answer.
"Is that gone?" Sun Yongqing said expressionlessly.
"This ...... This kind of exclusivity clause is too harsh, and Jin Yi is not ...... Won't accept it. Hu Rui looked at Sun Yongqing blankly, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"What's unacceptable? With Guoxing, what other customers does he need? Sell to Ruiqing? He has such a big supply capacity? How much capacity can other small fish and shrimp swallow him? Remember, the next contract must include an exclusivity clause. Sun Yongqing disagreed.
"That'...... It is estimated that the other party will ask for a protective price, which will have an impact on our costs. Hu Rui said hesitantly.
"Protection is protection, referring to Yingtian's supply price to Ruiqing, that is, I don't believe that our cost will be higher than Ruiqing at the same price?" Sun Yongqing shook his head disdainfully.
"Yes...... We don't know the discount that Yingtian gave Ruiqing. Hu Rui still tried to convince Sun Yongqing.
Xiao Qi shook his head in his heart expressionlessly, this surnamed Hu is too ink, when the boss is making decisions, he hates to use these trivial details to obstruct it, these things are problems that you need to solve, otherwise what use do you want?
Sure enough, Sun Yongqing's eyes widened slightly, and he turned his head to look at Hu Rui.
"It's up to you to figure it out. Sun Yongqing said lightly.
Hu Rui immediately stopped his mouth and looked at Sun Yongqing pitifully, like a child who couldn't finish his homework on time and faced a harsh father.
The trio entered a transit room from the descending elevator, where they changed into heavy spacesuits, and then the decompression hatch opened, and the trio entered the catapult plane.
said that it was a catapult machine, but in fact, the space inside was extremely narrow, with only six seats crowded next to each other, but fortunately, there were only three passengers on this trip, Sun Yongqing, Xiao Qi found a seat in the last row and sat down, buckled the safety belt.
Entering the catapult machine, except for worrying that something will go wrong with the machine, there is no way to care if someone will assassinate it, and if you really meet the master who is willing to die with the catapult machine, Xiao Qi asked himself if he didn't have such a big ability to stop it, why not take this opportunity to recuperate, the road behind is still long.
In the center of Langyuan, on the top floor of the Ruiqing Building, in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Jiang Xu held a glass of wine and looked at the snowflakes outside the window with a cloudy face.
"Your move is indeed ruthless enough, but if you let Guoxing know, I'm afraid there will be no possibility of cooperation in the future. Feng Zhiwen said slowly with a wine glass, as a close friend of Jiang Xu, he has ascended to the sky in one step and has become Ruiqing's new deputy general manager in charge of sales.
Jiang Xu smiled slightly, turned around, and on the other side, Deng Yue, who was in charge of external cooperation, and Fang Jin, who was in charge of external cooperation, turned with his figure, and their eyes looked over.
Ruiqing's year-end celebration has always been held on the same day as Guoxing's, and Guoxing's joy is different, Ruiqing because of this year's decline in performance and the assassination of the old chairman, the year-end celebration can only be described as bleak.
However, after the celebration, several of Jiang Xu's cadres still came to the top-level office with him, although they got the coveted position, but what to do next, they didn't have any bottom in their hearts, and just now, Jiang Xu told everyone an amazing decision.
"This is the difference between me and the old guy, for me, there is nothing that cannot be done, Ruiqing, Guoxing, both are in the ancestral star, only one can be left, my task is to clean and completely remove Guoxing like a virus. Jiang Xu smiled cruelly.
"Soon, I will submit a new investment plan to the board of directors, stop the project of transforming into a gunman, and invest 150 billion to start research on transformation and promotion drugs. ”
"In addition, Deng Yue, your plan should be stepped up, the old man has already left, there is no reason why Sun Yongqing is still in his seat. You say, don't you?" Jiang Xu laughed.
Ruiqing's transformation into a gunslinger project has cost the company a lot of resources and has lasted for many years, and as the younger generation of the company, they have long been tired of this project.
Now many of the first generation of changelings have reached the bottleneck of promotion, and it is time for drug intervention to be needed. Feng Zhiwen has been working hard in the market for a long time, and immediately realized that Jiang Xu's decision has great market prospects, and his eyes are shining.
"You make a good note of me, if anyone betrays us today and goes to Guoxing, as long as the time comes, I will let these wall grasses taste the taste of being uprooted. Jiang Xu looked at Feng Zhiwen, and his whole body exuded a thick anger.
"Mr. Deng's plan, do you need my help?" Fang Jin looked at Jiang Xu.
"No, no, no, we only provide peripheral assistance in this matter, and we must not have blood on our hands. Jiang Xu shook his head again and again. "If you have blood on your hands, you have to wash it quickly, otherwise it won't be washed after a long time. ”
Jiang Xu said meaningfully, he turned to look out the window again, and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier.
Zuxing No. 6 space station, Hu Rui and Sun Yongqing had just come down from the catapult plane, and he received a message, and he hurriedly reported to Sun Yongqing.
"Boss, Jin Yi has just sent a notice that the place of meeting is not in Zixing No. 3, but in Zixing No. 76. ”
Sun Yongqing stopped his pace and frowned.
"Doesn't seem like 76 is a habitable planet?"
"Yes, it's a mineral planet, very inhospitable, with only one life center, and the living conditions are very bad. Hu Rui replied nervously. This abrupt change of location is rare and generally doesn't end well.
Sun Yongqing listened to Hu Rui's words, and looked at Xiao Qi as if he couldn't make up his mind, and when he found Sun Yongqing's eyes, Xiao Qi also hurriedly shook his head.
He is in Ruiqing, he has never accompanied his boss on an interstellar trip, even if there are not many opportunities to go out of the Sunny Heavenly Kingdom, his transformation is a Tyrannosaurus rex, and in a vacuum environment without air, he will also die, so he has no confidence in protecting Sun Yongqing in the distant star 76.
"Inform the space shuttle to change the target to the substar 76. Sun Yongqing smiled slightly.
"That's special, labor and management know. Xiao Qi scolded in his heart.
Sun Yongqing's personal space shuttle is already waiting on the space station launch pad. The No. 6 space station is separated by billions of light-years from the substar 76, and it needs to make many jumps along the way, even with the speed of a space shuttle, it takes more than 30 hours to rush through.
Sun Yongqing and Hu Rui entered the space shuttle, and soon there was a low snoring sound, Xiao Qi opened his eyes, and quietly felt the slight vibration of the shuttle leaving the launch frame in the dark, how many years? How many years has he not experienced space flight? This feeling is not good, not good at all!
Zu Xing, Zhao Yuan received a call from Sun Zhengjia on the way home.
"Zhao Yuan, is my dad going to an alien planet?"
"Little master, you know that I can't reveal the whereabouts of the boss to you. ”
"Hehehe, I understand......" Sun Zhengjia was not the slightest bit unhappy, he cut off the phone with a smile, and then dialed another number.
"Space Station 6, Guoxing Office, where is the destination of the Flying Star Shuttle......?" Sun Zhengjia waited with the phone for a while, with a hesitant look on his face.
"Xiao Jia, what are you doing?" Tang Ying appeared at the door of Sun Zhengjia's room, and Tang Henian stood next to him.
"I didn't ...... Nothing?" Sun Zhengjia was a little nervous.
"Let me tell you, Yongqing is your biological father, you can't learn from Jiang Xu......! I won't forgive you. Tang Ying's face turned pale, obviously having guessed Sun Zhengjia's purpose.
"Xiaoying, Yongqing has no intention of giving way at all, this is not good, you should let Jiajia try it. Tang Henian persuaded on the side.
"Yes...... Dad, Yongqing is my husband, I don't want to become a widow!" Tang Ying looked at his father in pain, and his words were pleading.
"What you said is too exaggerated, how could Xiao Jia kill Yongqing, at most it is just a peaceful seizure of power, and Yongqing will accompany you to take a look around in the future, and you don't have to worry about the company's affairs anymore. You say yes, Xiao Jia?" Tang Henian persuaded.
"When...... Of course, how could I have killed my father? I just ......" Sun Zhengjia squeezed a smile into his face and stammered to meet his mother's skeptical gaze, explaining in vain.
"What I'm most worried about is Yongqing's two sons, especially that Sun Zhenghao, who is not a vegetarian, Aurora's Xiao Yun, Jiajia has not been able to take it, I suspect that Sun Zhenghao is in trouble, if he is given a position, even if Sun Zhenghuan is on the throne, Jiajia will be finished. ”
Tang Henian continued to do his daughter's work, Tang Ying's face changed again and again, and when he heard his speculation about Sun Zhenghao and Sun Zhenghuan's ascension, he couldn't help but shudder, and his attitude softened significantly.
"Xiaojia, no matter what you do, you can't hurt your father's life, we are not the Jiang family, we can't do that kind of unconscionable thing. I can't get on the spot for a while, I'm not in a hurry, my mother has been thinking of a way for you. Tang Ying said to Sun Zhengjia.
"Of course, Mom, I won't. ”
Seeing his mother and grandfather go away, Sun Zhengjia dialed another number.
"I have a request,......," Sun Zhengjia stopped as soon as he said a word. He listened to the voice on the phone, his face gradually became ugly, and when the call ended, Sun Zhengjia stood there stunned for a while, and suddenly raised his hand and slammed the phone on the ground.
From time to time, there was the roar of artillery in the distance, and the sound of small arms fire was sporadically heard.
Chen He lay on his stomach in the wet mud, struggling hard, Wang Zhi beside him didn't move, and his body was so heavy that it was like this kid had never excreted in his life.
How did he come here with Wang Zhi, Chen He couldn't remember, he just wanted to leave quickly and leave with Wang Zhi.
Suddenly, his body stopped, and on the edge of the quagmire where he was struggling, an off-road vehicle overturned there, and several human bodies lay on the ground.
Chen He didn't pay attention to the humans, he saw a white box falling out next to the rear compartment of the off-road vehicle that had overturned. There will be a transformation nutrient solution and a first-aid kit in the battlefield emergency resource box, with them, he and Wang Zhi can be alive again.
Chen He's eyes widened, he threw Wang Zhi away, panting and desperately crawling towards the resource box.
It's closer, it's closer, the resource box is like a woman scratching her head and posing, making Chen He want to stop, but it is always a distance away from Chen He, so he can't reach it.
"I'm here, little obedient ......" Chen He whispered softly while crawling, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, seeing that the resource box was already close at hand, suddenly a pair of scaly claws fell in front of the resource box, like a villain unreasonably intervened in Chen He's life.
Chen He was covered in a spirit, he was lying on the mud, his whole body was tense, and a pair of eyes secretly looked up.
Slightly shorter than a human being, with ribbed bone spurs, a mussel-like head, and a pair of eyes without any emotion and eroticism, they were staring at Chen He with the deepest malice in the dark.
Chen He was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but scream, he felt his body shake, as if the Yunhui person had stomped his feet inadvertently, but it was Sun Yongqing's voice that came from his ears.
"Star 76 has arrived, let's go to the landing module. In the dark, Xiao Qi saw Sun Yongqing stand up, and Hu Rui, who was not far away, also got up, and he was shocked to realize that he had a nightmare, and he was actually soaked.
"What the hell, what kind of strange dream? Just like it's real?" Xiao Qi muttered in his heart, and hurriedly followed Sun Yongqing.
After more than 30 hours of flight, Sun Yongqing and the three of them had just arrived at Star 76 in the landing module, and they were escorted into the life center by heavily armed planetary guards.
Entering the transit room, seeing that Hu Rui was still yelling there, Xiao Qi really couldn't stand it, he had been making trouble there since he found the planet guards.
You know, shouting and making noise is also very physically exhausting, and he is still wearing a thick space suit, Xiao Qi doesn't understand where this kid's pock-like body comes from so much energy.
"Save some effort, people don't have malicious intentions?" Xiao Qi rolled his eyes.
