It has to be said that Martin is a very responsible construction manager, and after repeatedly confirming that those seemingly useless structures cannot be changed, he quickly turned around and left, and continued to work according to the design requirements on the drawings.

Seeing him fade away, Zhang Zhi suddenly opened her mouth and said tentatively: "Can you tell me what the purpose of those strange structures is? You must give me a reason for this additional investment of eight million to ten million dollars?"

"I'm sorry, but this is related to some biotechnology that has not yet been patented, so it's better not to ask. On top of that, when this place is built, I will not only be able to provide you with plenty of tranquilizing flowers, but I will also be able to provide some other very valuable plants in the future. ”

Reveal your own idea and rationale for building a large arcane garden?

As long as Zhang Cheng wasn't stupid, he couldn't agree, so he had to use inducement to change the topic.

He understands that this mother, who is extremely controlling, feels that 50% of this technology involving the company's lifeline is in the hands of an outsider, and there is always an uneasiness in his heart, so he is desperate to get his hands on it.

Although this does not mean that it is a pleasant cooperation to end immediately, there is a completely different mentality of having insurance and not having insurance.

In fact, according to the information Zhang Cheng has, his titular mother has already privately established a technical public relations team, working day and night to study how to cultivate Ningshen Flower.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of well water rich in arcane energy, those seeds did not germinate, let alone grow, without exception.

After all, the magical energy of this world is far more complex than the arcane energy, and it is also more difficult to utilize, unless it is transformed, it may be absorbed by the magic plants of the world of Azeroth and the continent of Faeron.

It was this that made her even more convinced that once she completely controlled the cultivation technology, the last piece of the puzzle of her ambitious business empire plan would be complete.

Because as long as the cultivation technology cannot be cracked for a day, competitors will not be able to obtain raw materials for a day, let alone challenge the market share that they have occupied.

Monopolize!

What a wonderful word!

No capitalist can refuse such a temptation!

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhi raised her head and asked in a very serious tone: "How much do you have in charge of the actual control of the biological laboratory?

"Rest assured, I've got all the know-how, and that guy went to the dangerous Amazon rainforest, and I promise he'll never come back alive. In other words, it won't be long before the lab is completely mine. Zhang Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth and replied meaningfully.

"Oh, you sent someone to kill him!" Zhang Zhi's eyes widened in surprise.

Obviously, in her impression, her son has always been a little weak and kind, and it is unlikely that he will behave like this.

Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile and said nonsense: "Kill it? No, no, no, I just bribed a cannibal-born tour guide, and he will lead my naïve partner to some more dangerous places." As for whether that poor creature will be bitten to death by the beast or captured and eaten by the cannibal tribe, that's none of my business. Because it was fate, not a terrible murder, I had no blood on my hands. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Zhi's eyes flashed with the same light, and it took a full minute before she laughed happily, laughing and exclaiming: "Well done, my dear son! God! I can't believe that these words came out of your mouth." You know, I used to think that your personality was a bit like your father, a little pedantic, a little stupid, a little naïve, but now it seems that you are more like me. ”

"Can I understand that this is a compliment in disguise?" Zhang Cheng winked playfully.

"Of course, you see, American laws were never made to protect the weak. On the contrary, it is specifically designed to protect the powerful and wealthy. Think about all those interesting bail bonds, jury systems, evidence collection systems, the high fees of top lawyers? Which one is affordable for the poor? In this country, crime is never a problem, it's a question of whether you have the money, whether you do it cleanly, whether it's worth it. Zhang Zhi's face did not change and said a "shocking" remark.

"So you don't mind if I commit a crime, or even kill someone?" Zhang Cheng suddenly understood his nominal mother's way of thinking.

There is no doubt that the other party is not the mother who "wants her son to become a dragon" in the traditional sense, but a "wolf mother" who hopes that her son can become a qualified capitalist and can really be crowned king in the future and inherit the huge business empire she founded.

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly: "Yes, remember, in this country, being a legitimate businessman can never have a bright future." If you want to stand out from the fierce competition, the only thing you can do is to be like a pack of wolves, constantly killing prey and devouring their flesh and blood to strengthen yourself. In a way, I'm lucky to have such a wonderful son as you. As long as our mother and son work together, it won't be long before we break the ceiling and officially enter the real high society. ”

"What do I need to do?"

"All you need to do is provide me with a steady stream of plants that have great commercial value like the Tranquility Flower. In return, everything in my future will ultimately belong to you, and you will be the sole heir to all my possessions. ”

"As you wish, Mother. ”

......

As the curtain came down on the unusual conversation between the mother and son, the two fell into a brief silence, except for the rumbling machines on the construction site.

After about two or three minutes, Zhang Zhi suddenly asked thoughtlessly, "Do you miss your father?"

"Hmm, why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" a trace of confusion appeared on Zhang Cheng's face.

"No, nothing. As far as I know, he just returned to New York two days ago, and should be visiting you if nothing else. The strong mother explained calmly.

"Sounds like good news?" Zhang Cheng touched his chin with some uncertainty.

He didn't know whether he should show joy or disgust at this time.

Because, in principle, this cheap daddy had left home a long time ago, and would only come back once in three or four years, and the devil knows what kind of rift this strange situation would cause in the relationship between father and son.

On top of that, he didn't even know if Polman had included this old man who had been away from home for many years when he revised his memories in the first place, and it would be interesting if he was a goof.

"You think that's good news, that's good news. Although, in my opinion, he did not contribute anything to your birth and growth at all, except for the provision of a sperm. But either way, you are genetically inherently close. But I'm a little curious how he would have reacted if he had known that you had become the way you are, and he would have come to me to be angry, or would he have become more decadent? It's exciting to think about......"
