The next morning, Tang Bao exercised in the yard as usual. It didn't take long for Tang Zhengxuan and a middle-aged man in a straight military uniform to drive a military jeep and park at the door of the Tang family's old house, and the two walked in side by side, just in time to meet Tang Bao, who was immersed in morning exercises.

"Wait......" Tang Zhengxuan was about to open his mouth to shout a few times, but the middle-aged soldier who followed him hurriedly stopped him and said with a low smile.

and very patient.

The appearance of the two did not hide Tang Bao's eyes.

The other party didn't bother, but Tang Bao couldn't turn a blind eye, after all, one of them was still his own Laozi. So after stretching my body for a while, I hurried over.

"Dad, who is this ......?"

"Hello, Comrade Tang Bao, let me introduce myself, my name is Ge Zhanfeng!" The middle-aged man in military uniform walked up with a smile and introduced.

Tang Bao looked up and down at the man in front of him, and then at his epaulettes, two bars and four stars, army colonel. Suddenly I had a bottom in my heart, Ge Zhanfeng in front of me was just a colonel, and I am afraid that he was not the main master of the negotiation. Ge Zhanfeng's next words also confirmed his guess.

"Comrade Tang Bao, I was sent by the chief to pick you up. If nothing else, we can go. Ge Zhanfeng said very politely.

"Yes."

Tang Bao replied calmly, in fact, Tang Bao wanted to say that I hadn't eaten breakfast yet, but he was just thinking about it in his heart, he hadn't figured out who the chief in Ge Zhanfeng's mouth was, and he wasn't arrogant enough to be so empty-eyed. Although the other party has something to ask for, it doesn't hurt to be humble and low-key.

The entrance of the old house.

A ninety percent new military jeep was parked, and seeing Ge Zhanfeng open the door behind him, Tang Bao was not polite. He bowed his head and sat inside. Pulling Tang Bao and Tang Zhengxuan, Ge Zhanfeng started the car calmly. Drive away from the old Tang family's house.

The atmosphere in the car was a little dull, and Ge Zhanfeng drove with his head bored. Father Tang Zhengxuan was also silent, maybe he had nothing to say, maybe it was inconvenient to say something, and Tang Bao didn't think about it so much, and he didn't stupidly ask where to go or something like that. He doesn't need to ask, the other party will tell him clearly; On the other hand, even if he asked, nothing would come of it.

……

After about forty-five minutes, the jeep finally came to a slow stop, and through the window there were heavily armed soldiers scattered everywhere, as if this was a very unusual military base.

Stop the car.

Tang Bao and Tang Zhengxuan all walked down.

"Please follow me." Ge Zhanfeng didn't say much, and after getting out of the car, he led Tang Bao and Tang Zhengxuan to a three-story building in the base. It seems that Ge Zhanfeng is very comfortable in the base, leading Tang Bao and Tang Zhengxuan, two strangers, through layers of checkpoint posts, all the way unimpeded, without any obstacles.

"Chief. Comrades Tang Bao and Tang Zhengxuan arrived. Ge Zhanfeng went to report first.

"Well, please let them in."

The voice coming from the room was slightly hoarse, but it was not majestic. Without any delay, the other party has been waiting for a long time.

"Two. Please! ”

Ge Zhanfeng walked out of the office again and made a gesture to invite in.

"Hmm...... Colonel Ge, I won't go in. If you don't mind. Find a comrade to take me around outside! Tang Zhengxuan said with a smile.

"It's fine. Wait a minute, I'll send Comrade Tang Bao in first. ”

"Hmm."

Tang Zhengxuan hummed and said. He himself knew that to be able to come with him was stained with his son's light. Maybe he insisted on making do, and the other party wouldn't say anything because of Tang Bao, but it was really unnecessary. His level is there, and knowing something that he shouldn't know is not good for himself.

He didn't dare to think about the extent of the content involved in the next conversation.

And.

Negotiations may not always go smoothly, and there may be differences between the two sides...... Staying would not be of any benefit to him or Tang Bao.

……

Walk into the office.

"Haha, Comrade Xiao Tang, please take a seat." Artificial seeing, the voice has arrived. Listening to that loud voice, there is no secret strangeness, how can there be a familiar feeling.

Looking at it from a distance, the "chief" in Ge Zhanfeng's mouth was not tall and slightly fat, with a square face, a wide forehead, and sparse hair...... When he slowly approached the other party's appearance, he burst into foul language in a hurry, Nima's, how could it be this old guy.

"Sit down, Don Jr."

The other party didn't seem to have Bao's stiff expression, and still greeted warmly, seeing that Tang Bao was the only one, he couldn't help asking, "Huh?" What about Comrade Tang Zhengxuan, didn't he come along? ”

"Report to the chief, Comrade Tang Zhengxuan is waiting outside, he said that he wants to find someone to accompany him in the base casually..."Ge Zhanfeng replied.

"Oh. Then you go and take him! ”

"Yes."

Ge Zhanfeng exited the office.

Then.

There was silence in the office.

"Nima's, how could it be this old bastard, I said, how could it feel a little familiar with the voice......" Fang Xiao stared at himself, Tang Bao couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get in and hide. This old guy's name is Chen Yongguang, he is an army general, and he doesn't know exactly what he is responsible for. If it was just an ordinary general, Tang Bao would naturally not be so crazy. The key is that this Chen Yongguang is different, he is the boss of the Chen family, or Chen Ya's grandfather, but his previous life left a deep memory on him.

"Hey...... How? Don Jr., don't you know me, old fellow? ”

"Don't know? I'll recognize you when you turn to ashes. Tang Bao thought indignantly in his heart, in his previous life, he was miserable by this old bastard, and when he saw him, he wanted to hide. This thought has been deeply rooted in his bones, and even now that he sees this old bastard, he has an urge to run away.

"Hello, Grandpa Chen!" After struggling for a while and calming down his emotions, Tang Bao stiffly greeted Chen Yongguang.

"Well, good!"

Hear the words.

Tang Bao's face suddenly darkened, but he didn't say anything. Facing the old bastard Chen in front of him, he really didn't have the slightest confidence.

If he could have known in advance that he was going to negotiate with this old fellow, he would never have agreed so simply. I can't be suppressed and trained by this old guy for a lifetime. I can't get up. However, I have to admit that Tang Bao was able to stand out among the three generations of the Tang family in his previous life. Thanks to the old guy's care. Without him, maybe Tang Bao's life would only be useless!

"If you want to drink tea, pour it yourself. In Grandpa Chen's place, there is no need to be restrained. Chen Yongguang sat opposite Tang Bao, pointed to the kettle on the table, and said very kindly.

Forehead.

"It seems that we are not so familiar, although we were very familiar with each other in our previous life......" Tang Bao was shocked by the enthusiasm of the old bastard Chen, and at the same time kept reminding himself that he didn't need to be afraid of this old guy, he was not a soldier under him, let alone his grandson-in-law.

Chatted casually for a while.

Chen Yongguang quickly got to the point. said in a calm tone: "Xiao Tang, what is the purpose of inviting you here today, you should know it yourself, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Tang Bao nodded lightly in response.

"That's good. Before we talk, I also need to remind you that when you go out of this door, you will forget what you said today, and it is strictly forbidden to mention it to anyone. Well, it's like we haven't met, you know? Chen Yongguang was serious and solemn. It seems that the secrecy of this conversation is extremely high

"Uh...... Grandpa Chen, what are you talking about, I've been sleeping at home today, how can I go to see someone. Tang Bao was even more straightforward, pretending to be stupid.

"Yes. That's it. ”

Chen Yongguang was very satisfied with Tang Bao's reaction.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yongguang said slowly: "We urgently need a secret fund...... But it is difficult for the state to come up with this money at one time. It just so happens that you kid is a god of wealth again. I thought of you. Of course we can't take your money for nothing......"

"Grandpa Chen, I want to ask. By a sum of money, what do you mean? Tang Bao's question was to the point. He can only continue to talk if he is sure that he has not exceeded his bottom line, and if the military's appetite is too big, there is naturally no need to continue talking nonsense.

"A billion dollars!"

Chen Yongguang pondered for a while and quoted an amount.

One billion dollars, which is already more than one-tenth of the military expenditure of the entire army. Tang Bao's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, according to his memory, the military doesn't seem to have carried out large-scale foreign arms purchases in the past two years, and if foreign arms purchases are kept secret, it will be difficult to escape the tracking of foreign intelligence departments, so it is impossible for this money to be used for arms purchases, so what is Chen Yongguang anxious to do with these billion US dollars?

Tang Bao was very curious, of course, if the other party didn't mention the use of the money, he would definitely not ask. And with his status at the moment, he has not bothered to pay attention to the use of this money, and what he wants to know more now is what kind of return he can get for taking out these billion dollars.

"Are you having trouble?"

Seeing Tang Bao frowning and silent, Chen Yongguang was a little anxious. Except for Tang Bao, they couldn't think of where to get the money.

"Yes. As you know, I have already exchanged a billion dollars of foreign exchange a year ago, and now it is really difficult to come up with another billion dollars. Tang Bao said in embarrassment, the military dared to ask for a billion dollars in one go, even if he had the money, he couldn't just agree to it, otherwise he couldn't guarantee whether there would be a second or third time......

"Huh. I also know that the difficulties are very great, but you still have to do your best, Xiao Tang, as long as you can lend us the military this money, you will never be treated badly. The country will also remember your contributions! Chen Yongguang patted his chest with a smile and assured that Tang Bao did not refuse in one bite, he knew that this matter had something to talk about, so he naturally wanted to make a statement.

"Hmm...... I'll try my best. ”

Tang Bao responded ambiguously, but did not give a clear answer. Before he heard Chen Yongguang give a substantial return, he naturally wouldn't make a statement easily. The billion-dollar loan is just a chance for my dad to be promoted to the next level, and the value between the two doesn't seem to be at the same level.

"Hehe, you little guy really doesn't see rabbits and eagles. Tell us what kind of resources do you need us to provide you? Chen Yongguang naturally understood that Tang Bao was doing Tai Chi, but he didn't have the leisure to continue to play with Tang Bao, he thought that the sooner he got the money, the better.

"What's the ...... I'm really going to have a hard time raising another billion dollars. You also know that although Phoenix Investment Group is worth billions of dollars, it is invested in the stock market, which is all paper assets, and if you want to get real dollars, you have to sell the stocks. And the sale of assets is not something I can do alone, and there are two foreign shareholders. Tang Bao continued to pretend to be embarrassed.

"Stop, stop! I don't listen to these useless ones, and I don't understand any stocks, so you just give me the truth, what do you really want in order to lend money to our military. Chen Yongguang obviously didn't want to hear this, so he stopped very simply, and then went straight to the point and asked.

Hear the words.

Tang Bao laughed secretly in his heart, Old Bastard Chen really still has this temperament.

"Are you really in charge?" Tang Bao asked hesitantly.

"Nonsense, you can't call the shots, I'm messing with you here. Hurry up and say, what exactly do you need to borrow money? Chen Yongguang said that as a senior general of the military and the direct supervisor of this secret mission, he has also received great authorization and has absolute confidence.

"Violations of law and discipline are not included." In the end, Chen Yongguang did not forget to add.

There was a moment of silence.

Tang Bao raised his head, looked at Chen Yongguang squarely and said, "You only need to promise me one condition, and I will do my best to gather the billion dollars." (To be continued......)
