455 Crazy growth
"Although, I tried my best to hide some high-quality spirit stones in different locations in the three caves of the cunning rabbit in Australia. But, at the end of the day, my employees are Indigenous, and their loyalties are limited. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xu Hongtu also calmly informed Zhou Qiang of his difficulties.
"So, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it out for long. Xu Hongtu smiled bitterly, "The natives who mine spirit stones don't know anything about them, and only regard them as an accessory mineral of iron ore. But you can't imagine the sheer number of commercial spies within the Australian Iron Ore Alliance. Stabbing each other is a common thing in the industry. My rise will inevitably block other people's financial paths, and sooner or later, someone will target my iron ore mine and company. ”
Zhou Qiang sighed: "Indeed, we are living in an era of mutual prying, and the risk of stealing information is very high. So, how long can you hold out?"
"Half a year, if I'm optimistic, I'll probably make it to the end of the year. According to the law of business, before the New Year, on New Year's Day, all companies have to publish their annual financial reports. And when the earnings report is put in front of all the company's directors, many incompetent CEOs are fired. In order to keep their jobs, these CEOs will go off the rails and spy on the secrets of their peers in order to make plans for the future and win back the trust of their directors. Therefore, the two months before the end of the year will be the most active time for commercial spies!" Xu Hongtu said lightly.
"When the time comes, as long as a spy successfully sneaks into the pit to steal some spirit stone fragments and submit them to the laboratory agency, the secret of the spirit stone mine will be exposed!" Xu Hongtu crossed his fingers and said calmly, "Therefore, my current plan is to sell this spirit stone vein to the Xu family before the secret of the spirit stone is exposed, and earn the corresponding contribution points, so as to grab the maximum profit." ”
"You're a chicken thief, and you're a waste thief. Zhou Qiang touched his nose, his eyes flickering, "In my opinion, I'm afraid that after submitting the news of the spirit stone mine to the Xu family, you will immediately sneak and take the initiative to leak secrets, attracting those giants in the Western world, right?"
Zhou Qiang knew that Xu Hongtu hated Xu Biao to the bone and had no good impression of the Xu family, how could he give an entire spirit stone vein to the Xu family for nothing?
At that time, if the Xu family relied on the ore vein to regain its prosperity and use countless spirit stones to cultivate innate martial artists in batches, then Xu Hongtu, who was determined to be a second and fifth boy to subvert the Xu family, would be angry.
"Poof...... Brother Zhou is really my number one confidant!" Xu Hongtu smiled even more happily and nodded his head, "You guessed right." I have already laid out all the back hands, tsk, I will throw a meat bun and cause all the vicious dogs to bite wildly! I will set aside some time for the Xu family to taste the sweetness, so as to trap them, and when the Xu family can't stop it, I will attract the giants of the West!"
"What did you say would happen to the Xu family when the time comes?" Xu Hongtu's eyes flashed with a crazy look.
Zhou Qiang was speechless, and when he looked at Xu Hongtu, he couldn't help but shudder.
Because his desperate plan is a little poisonous!
With a fragrant bait like a spirit stone mine, the Xu family will definitely not be able to resist the temptation, and 100% will swallow it in one bite.
However, it will make the Xu family a target and a thorn in the side of all forces in the world.
Gee......
"The Xu family is finished. Zhou Qiang sighed.
"It's too early to tell. Xu Hongtu shook his head, "Xu Taiqing's old fox has a good brain, he may not be willing to throw all the power of the Xu family into the spirit stone mine in a desperate way." Moreover, there are three innate martial artists in the Xu family after all, although they may not be able to retreat with their whole body, but Xu Taiqing and Xu Xiaochen should be able to keep it. At most, I can just kill Xu Jianying, this guy is so happy and reckless, I believe you have seen it. ”
Zhou Qiang looked at him in Australia through the video with complicated eyes: "As a dark martial artist, you are plotting to kill the innate martial artist, is it really ...... It's terrifying. ”
"You only have eight dark powers, but you have already defeated an innate martial artist with your own hands, let's talk to each other. Xu Hongtu laughed heartily, "Let's brothers, this is called Qingmei Cooking Wine and Talking about Heroes, right?
"I've also gradually built up some influence in Yanjing, owning several subsidiaries under my umbrella, and I've been able to get a lot of money through certain adventures. Zhou Qiang smiled and asked, "If you still need investment urgently, I can provide it." Moreover, I have a channel that I can trust 100%, and he also has defensive skills comparable to any innate martial artist, so we can sell a portion of the spirit stones through him and then get some funds to turn around. ”
"100% trusted?"
Xu Hongtu was obviously not the kind of person who could easily give trust, and he stared at Zhou Qiang suspiciously: "You should know the importance of the spirit stone to our two brothers. Without it, our soaring rise will come to a halt in an instant, or even fall into the abyss. It's a lifeblood, and it's no joke!"
"I can trust him as I trust in my right hand. Zhou Qiang said, "Moreover, he promised to customize a formation for you that can resist the attack of innate martial artists!"
"Really?!" Xu Hongtu rolled his eyes even more, "It sounds like a charlatan." ”
"Hehe, you'll soon know his name. Zhou Qiang was full of confidence and was not reluctant, "He has deployed two large formations in my Shuanghammer Mountain base, one is called 'Beyond the Mortal' and the other is called 'Jade Dragon', when they become famous all over the world in the future, you will know that what I said is true." It's just that when the time comes, if you want to contact him again and exchange the spirit stone for the formation, then I'm afraid the price will increase tenfold. ”
Xu Hongtu didn't care about the price, he pouted: "We're not short of money!" Heh, then I'll clean my ears and wait to hear your good news." If the formation is really that magical, I will go bankrupt, and I will have to order a few formations to protect my spirit stone mine! If the spirit stone mine can be defended, I am reluctant to throw it out as bait to trick the Xu family into taking the bait. If I can defend the spirit stone mine for 10 years, I will have the confidence to step into the ranks of innate martial artists! When the time comes, I can slash the enemy, and there is no need to perform those ghost tricks. ”
Zhou Qiang cocked his thumb and praised his pride.
"We'd better establish a solid channel that will allow me to transport you some more spirit stones from Australia. After a few words of greeting, and after a wave of business blows, Xu Hongtu grabbed his hair and said very annoyedly, "I can't always let my right-hand man smuggle spirit stones for you, right? Now, my spirit stones are piling up in the mines, but they can't be converted into combat power and wealth, which really annoys me. ”
Zhou Qiang also had no choice, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile: "This is something that can't be done." After all, we're separated by the Pacific Ocean. However, those spirit stones you gave me last time, even if you squander them, they are enough to consume for a year or two. After all, we are only low-level ancient martial artists, and we can't absorb much of the energy contained in the spirit stone at all. A small piece of inferior spirit stone can be used for half a month. ”
"That's right. Wait until I come up with a way to airlift a batch of high-quality spirit stones for you. Xu Hongtu sighed lightly, "As dark strength martial artists, we can only absorb the power in the inferior spirit stones, which is really too slow. It would be nice if you could directly use high-quality, or even top-grade spirit stones, to cultivate. ”
Zhou Qiang rolled his eyes: "Don't do that! The end of an ant delusionally swallowing an elephant's leg is to be strangled to death." ”
"But the exercise we practice is called "Snake Swallowing Whale". Swallowing a whale with a snake, what a heroic and ambitious atmosphere!" Xu Hongtu was leisurely fascinated.
Zhou Qiang sneered: "The snake in the snake swallowing the whale, do you think it is a bamboo leaf green or a cobra? The snake here refers to the dragon snake, do you understand? The dragon snake is the existence of a half-dragon and a half-snake, which is equivalent to a demigod! And in the records of the Okazaki family in Japan, this snake specifically refers to the Yaqi Snake. ”
Xu Hongtu: "......"
"When you explain it like that, it's like lest our exercises be very low. He rolled his eyes wildly, "Yaqi Snake's words, swallowing a whale, it will be the same as eating dessert after a meal, it is commonplace." ”
Zhou Qiang, who had already learned all the secrets from Okazaki Fujizaburo's relics, pouted: "In "Snake Swallowing Whale", both snakes and whales refer to mythical creatures. The snake is the Yagi Orochi, and in the phylum of biology, it should be classified into the dragon snake. The whale, on the other hand, refers to the whale shark, a legendary creature that is a mixture of whale and shark strength, and belongs to the overlord of the deep sea. The snake swallows the whale, which means that the two overlords have merged into one and evolved into the ultimate creature. ”
“…… It sounds high-end, but I don't understand ......."
Xu Hongtu was confused.
Zhou Qiang smiled faintly: "I didn't expect you to understand, just cultivate step by step." In short, after cultivating the snake swallowing whale to the Great Perfection, you will have the power of the Baqi Great Snake and the deep-sea whale shark! We have a great road goods ancient martial arts secret book in China, called "Dragon and Tiger Decision", and after the cultivation is completed, you will have the combined strength of nine cows and two tigers. In terms of forced grid, the dragon and tiger were blown out of a few streets by the snake swallowing the whale. ”
"Okay, in short, it's just a matter of cultivating diligently and accelerating your growth. Xu Hongtu bowed.
After hanging up.
Another phone call came in, Zhou Qiang's pupils shrank, and after a slight hesitation, he still chose to connect.
"Hey, Miss Sakura Senmai Okazaki, what are you looking for me?" Zhou Qiang said in a calm voice, with a proud posture that was completely different from the previous flattery and sycophancy, and negotiated with the other party lightly.
He felt that Xu Hongtu was right.
Since the whole world thinks that he is an S-class ability, then he will simply start sticking his nose in the onion - pretending to be an elephant!
Yuya Okazaki discriminates against Chinese Americans and makes things difficult for himself every time, and now that he is an "S-class ability", does he dare to be so arrogant again?
Zhou Sang...... Oh no, Your Excellency Zhou Qiang. Sakura Senmai Okazaki corrected her name in a slight trance, with mixed emotions in her charming voice.
"Hehe, I prefer Sakura Senmai to call me Zhou Sang, and call me Your Excellency, which seems a little raw. Zhou Qiang chuckled and took the initiative to close the distance.
In the past, if Zhou Qiang used this attitude to talk to her, most of them would seem very ruffian and slippery, and they would even feel that they were flirtatious.
And now, when Zhou Qiang speaks like that, he belongs: Corporal Lixian, shameless questioning, etc., etc.
"Your Excellency Zhou Qiang said with a smile, you are an S-class ability, how can I be so disrespectful?" Okazaki Sakura Senmai bit her red lips and said astringently, "You hide it from us so deeply." My father, as an innate martial artist, didn't feel the smell of threat from you at all, and your disguise was seamless. ”
