Half past four in the afternoon.

After discussing some details with Director Zeng, Xu Ran left directly after the symposium.

He had no plans to go to the evening party.

Although those gang of gringos are very polite and cultivated, after their thoughts were known by Xu Ran, Xu Ran's mood was smiling on the surface and MMP in his heart according to the words of the Internet.

A bunch of gringos wanted to beat his idea, thinking that Lao Tzu's technique was that Chinese cabbage could be sold wholesale cheaply.

Even if it is now more and more widely used D-layer technical material products, it is still high-tech on the whole earth.

If you don't scavenge a layer of rich oil and water from these people, you want Lao Tzu's technical authorization, but there is no door.

And negotiating this kind of thing, Xu Ran didn't want to go into battle in person, he felt that it was too cheap.

Director Zeng would talk to Xu Ran and ask for his opinion, and Xu Ran was also very clear about what those people above were thinking.

So Xu Ran decisively agreed that the D-layer technology licensing cooperation would be negotiated with Xing Jiankong and the leaders of the relevant state departments to talk to the gringos, anyway, the initiative was in their hands, and naturally they wanted to maximize their interests.

After Xu Ran left, he got in the car and called Xing Jiankong, told him about the situation here, and asked Xing Jiankong to come to the capital in the next two days to deal with this matter.

In addition, Xing Jiankong also arranged for people to follow the leaders to visit abroad in a few days, and then conduct a field investigation on the cooperation, and then Xu Ran wanted to see the investigation report.

When it came to going abroad with the group to investigate, Xing Jiankong directly recommended to Xu Ran on the phone to let Liu Weikun go.

Liu Weikun, as the main person in charge of the Shencheng area, is second only to Zheng Yang in charge of the Beijing area in the past two years, and that guy has excess energy, and even helps the robot company to supervise the progress of the project in the Hangcheng Robot Industrial Park.

Hearing this proposal, Xu Ran agreed.

Anyway, there will be a major personnel appointment adjustment in the materials company after the year, which can allow Liu Weikun to familiarize himself with the skills of dealing with foreigners in advance, and let him become the head of the European business department.

After hanging up the phone, less than five minutes later, Xu Ran's phone rang again.

This is a private number that has been recorded directly on Xu Ran's mobile phone, not to another generic number that Xu Xi kept for him.

Seeing that the caller was Yang Xingshan's private number, after Xu Ran picked it up, Yang Xingshan went straight to the point, saying that there was a small party in the evening, and he hoped to invite Xu Ran to participate.

Xu Ran heard that there were no foreigners attending the party, but just a few of Yang Xingshan's old friends, and some of them Xu Ran also knew, so he agreed.

After seeing that the time was still early, there were still three hours before the agreed time, and Xu Ran didn't plan to run so early.

Xu Xi didn't let Xu Ran be idle, so he said: "Boss, I just answered a few phone calls, one of them was from Liu Jingdong's assistant, asking the boss if you have time, Mr. Liu wants to ask you for dinner?"

Xu Ran said: "You give Mr. Liu's assistant a reply, just say that I have an appointment in the evening, or it will be set for tomorrow night, and I will invite Mr. Liu and his wife to dinner at the Tianhua Hotel!"

Xu Xi said: "There is another one that was called to me by Zhang Ming's secretary of the symbol company, and that Mr. Zhang seems to want to ask the boss to have dinner with you, and I heard him vaguely mention Xiang Weibing, and it seems that he also expressed a piece of invitation?"

"Xiang Weibing?"

After hearing this, Xu Ran couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, and said: "Then reply, I have an appointment tonight, and I have dinner with Mr. Liu tomorrow night, then it depends on whether they have time at noon tomorrow, otherwise it will be postponed to the day after tomorrow!"

Xu Xi whispered again: "What about the other people, those people know that the boss is in the capital, and they all want to ask you for dinner, some I know, but some I haven't heard of, how to reply?"

Xu Ran said: "Just reply to them directly, be polite, say that I have a meal these days, and I only stay for three days in the capital, you express regret and tell them to make an appointment another day, I will invite them to dinner!"

So, Xu Xi was ready to reply one by one.

But Xu Xi only replied once, but someone called again.

After receiving this call, Xu Ran directly told Xu Ran and said: "Boss, this is another call, it is the old gentleman named Xing Xiwu who called in person, he wants to meet with you, just an hour, I want to talk about what kind of exploration archaeology......"

Hearing this, Xu Ran put down the tablet in his hand and raised his head, and said, "Since it is an hour, then there is enough time, you tell him that I agreed, let him go to my house over there in Ziyun Mountain Villa to meet!"

After Xu Xi explained the situation, he hung up the phone and reported that the old Mr. Xing said that he would be there soon.

Xu Ran asked Luo Jiuwa to drive home directly.

was already on the road, and after about ten minutes, Xu Ran returned to the villa of Ziyun Villa.

However, Xu Ran came home with his front foot, and before he could change his clothes, the Xing family rang the doorbell.

After the robot butler opened the door, he invited the Xing family in.

It was Xing Xiwu and the old housekeeper Lin Bo, as well as Xing Xiwu's daughter Xingchenchen.

After the three of them came in, Xu Ran nodded and said hello to them, and then let them sit down, and Xiaolian immediately fiddled with tea and came over to entertain a few people.

The things that Xing Xiwu wanted to talk about were relatively private, and he saw that there were a lot of people here, so he hesitated slightly.

Xu Ran simply invited them to the quiet study.

After arriving at the study, Xing Xiwu got straight to the point and said: "This time, the expedition team sent out by the Xing family was completely wiped out, but they succeeded in sending the news of the coordinates of finding the ruins of the Shigan River, but they were ready to move when many forces gathered on the side of the Great Desert......"

Xu Ran said: "What are you going to do now, and what help do you want to get when you come to me?" If you want to persuade me to accompany you on another trip, then I'm really sorry, I don't have the strength to risk my life!"

Xing Xiwu said: "Of course, with Mr. Xu's current status, it is really not worth doing those things that put him at risk, the old man is here to ask Mr. Xu about someone?"

Xu Ran guessed who he wanted to inquire about, and said, "You said Ye Wudao?"

"Exactly!"

Xing Xiwu nodded and said: "The initiator of this expedition plan is this Ye Wudao, and there is also Professor Chen, and now it has been ten days since the last time someone in that team passed on the news, but the people in the team have not had the slightest news, just like you have evaporated, it is not ruled out that the place is dangerous and abnormal, and many people are damaged there."

But I think this Ye Wudao, as well as that Professor Chen, they are all capable people, it is impossible for them to fall there easily, it is estimated that they have escaped, but we have searched around and have never found their whereabouts, so Ye Wudao and Xu are always good friends, Xu always knows his whereabouts?"

Xu Ran smiled and said, "Old Man Xing, I don't know if Ye Wudao escaped, but even if I knew, I would only hide him, and I wouldn't be able to tell you, what do you think?"

"Uh......"

Xing Xiwu couldn't help but freeze when he heard such straightforward words, not knowing what to say.

However, that Xing Chenchen was a hot character, and he couldn't help but answer: "Mr. Xu, we inquired about Ye Wudao's whereabouts, just to know from him whether my fourth cousin is dead or alive, and we can also organize personnel to rescue, in addition, they brought five robots with them this time, and the robots are also provided by Mr. Xu, so Mr. Xu doesn't know if there is any way to locate those robots......"

"Chenchen, shut up!"

The more Xing Xiwu listened, the more he felt that these words were not like words, and immediately stopped them.

Xu Ran glanced at Xing Chenchen and said, "That desert area doesn't even have a signal, so do you think even if the satellite can locate it, and even if it is located to find the robot, then what, do you want to say that you can find clues about the whereabouts of the Xing family from the robot's storage data, then do you think I look like a fool?"

Hearing this, Xing Chenchen blushed a little, they meant this, but it would be embarrassing to be made clear by someone.

Xing Xiwu hurriedly apologized: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Xu, Xiaochen is an impatient, he doesn't speak in a measured manner, I hope Mr. Xu can forgive me if there is anything offended!"

Xu Ran waved his hand and said, "Old Man Xing, I have limited time to meet you, so you still don't want to sell Guanzi, just say what you really mean!"

Xing Xiwu thought about it for a while, and then said: "The matter of the Shiganhe Ruins is very important, once he is alive, it will cause countless huge troubles, let's not talk about the magical antiquities and spatial phenomena inside, just say that some black technology items in it are enough to make the whole world crazy."

The clues to the appearance of the Shiganhe ruins this time are not clear to who made them public on the Internet, but this news is earth-shattering, not only our Chinese archaeological circles and Jianghu forces are paying attention, but also those foreign church forces, as well as some ancient folk forces, have also begun to pay attention, not to mention those families of Zhending descendants.

Now it is almost conceivable that the whole world, both overt and underground, is converging on the Great Desert, and you can imagine how much damage they will cause, and once they open the gates of hell, the consequences will be unimaginable......"

Xu Ran said: "Don't talk about the country, just the big desert is on our territory, saying that foreign forces want to come in to explore and hunt for treasures to do things, I'm afraid you think too much, are the relevant departments of the Lei family just furnishings, and the domestic security agencies are not even aware of this little movement, and they will let foreign forces run to our territory to make trouble?"

"Even if there are dragons and snakes mixed there, but I don't know who is the yellow finch behind it, what hell gate, that's nonsense, according to my understanding, it should be a supernatural physical space phenomenon, after making a big move there, the country will naturally take care of it in the name of counter-terrorism, and then send scientists to conduct scientific research, Xing Lao, you are too worried......"

Xing Xiwu smiled bitterly and said: "Is this really the case, just like the ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty general found in Xia Cheng, this is the official statement, but you and I know what is really hidden inside, why is it that the scientific expedition team was stationed after the Huo family went in for a second round of exploration, and the result was not much gain, this is too late, the relationship inside is too complicated, involving many forces, so the efficiency does not need to be said?"

Xu Ran said: "Let's not talk about these first, although I have antiques and archaeology, as well as scientific exploration and hobbies, I will also sponsor the team to go on expeditions, but for many unknowns, I have a sense of awe, I will never do things that I am not sure of, let alone risk myself."

Xing Lao said bluntly, I don't think the main purpose of you coming to me is to find out the news of Ye Wudao, what happened to you yourself, you must have something to ask for, what I can have here is just the Dao seal that Xing Lao personally handed over to me.

And this Dao Yin involved three Dao Chiefs who came to me, and as a result, one Dao Leader disappeared, and the Lei family once suspected that the investigation of me was related to the disappearance of a Dao Chief, is it because of the misfortune to pass on the trouble?"

When Xing Xiwu heard this, he said with a moved expression: "Mr. Xu, don't get me wrong, I'm a superstitious person, everything depends on the timing, and I also do things according to the guidance of the star machine disk, and I will feel invincible."

It's just the matter of Daoyin, I just think that according to the guidance of the star machine disk, I think that you will transfer it to Xicheng Daoist, and also let Xicheng Daoist have a wish, which is a good thing, and it can also let Xicheng and Daomen remember your favor, I didn't expect it to be involved in the disappearance of Matsuba, and the fact that Matsuba holds the Lei family's supreme treasure flow lamp.

In addition, after this incident, we also investigated, after Matsuba disappeared in the capital, who would have thought that two days later, he would appear in Huangcheng, thousands of kilometers away, and no one can say the strangeness.

After receiving the news of Songye's whereabouts, the Lei family was also very angry, but after they rushed to Dunhuang City, they pounced, and Songye disappeared again, and someone provided news that Songye went to Kunlun, so things gradually became clear, and this has nothing to do with you and me......"

Xing Xiwu said: "I didn't come this time to get back the Dao seal, I haven't had the cheek to do this kind of thing, it's really the Lei family who deceives people too much, they pressure us to provide clues to the entrance of the tomb of Emperor Yuan, but this clue is inextricably linked to the Daomen, the tomb of Emperor Yuan was sealed by the Daomen hundreds of years ago, and the seal involves the Bagua Zhangtian Ruler, if you want to open the seal entrance and enter the Yuan Emperor's Tomb, you must use the Bagua Zhangtian Ruler."

According to our investigation, the Bagua Zhang Tianqi once appeared in Mr. Xu's antique market, and was acquired by internal senior members, we are here to ask Mr. Xu to do a favor to find out who bought the Bagua Zhang Tianqi, we are willing to pay double the price to buy, or borrow it for a few days......"

Hearing this, Xu Ranqi said: "The Lei family has also become interested in the tomb of Emperor Yuan, isn't that what the Huo family is operating, is it possible that the two families have already fought against each other?"

Xing Xiwu sighed: "It's not just that the two families are fighting each other, now the situation is getting bigger and bigger, and almost all the families of the descendants of Zhending are implicated in the tomb of Emperor Yuan!"
