Chapter 511: Poor Awakening
Looking at Cai Zhigang's figure, Xiang Ningxuan finally signed the application for additional investment.
In fact, as Jin Yunlin said, once Cai Zhigang's brain is used in a supercomputer, his lifespan will be drastically reduced. It's not really about life-sustaining equipment, and using better life-sustaining equipment can only delay death slightly.
Cai Zhigang is at the cost of his own lifespan of tens or hundreds of years in exchange for the acceleration of scientific research progress. In fact, his behavior is the same as Yu Zhe and others, sacrificing himself for the country and the people.
After signing the item, Ning Xuan planned to leave directly.
Originally, he also wanted to take a look at the progress of other projects by the way, but after such a show, how could he not know that this primordial chaos laboratory was the same as the tiger's den in Longtan?
Do you really want to go in and walk around, and not be forced to add a bunch of investments?
As soon as he walked out of the door of the director's office, Xiang Ningxuan saw Asha Moore waiting at the door with a smile, threw a wink at him, and said, "Boss, come and sit with me!" ”
I'll me, don't get me wrong! This is not Xiang Ningxuan's infinite charm, the dragon sees the dragon and loves it. What people fancy is Xiang Ningxuan's small amount of money in his pocket.
Since coming to the Primal Chaos Laboratory, Asha Moore has quickly fallen in love with the R&D system here. For example, in computer simulation systems, Asha Moore has not used supercomputing, but even if it is an ordinary computer, her research efficiency is many times higher than that of her previous one-stop exploration.
Of course, the efficiency of R&D is high, and the resources consumed are also multiplied. As a result, Asha Moore could only put down the shelf and apply for funds from Xiang Ningxuan.
Xiang Ningxuan now regrets inviting her, it costs a lot of money to raise a dragon, and it costs even more money to raise a dragon who likes to engage in scientific research.
When fighting against the undead and natural disasters, everyone can tighten their belts and get by. Now that they've won, who wants to tighten their belts? All sides are reaching out for money.
However, after the natural disaster is over, military spending cannot be saved much. There are still many places in the country that are threatened by various monsters, and the people are living in dire straits. It is the duty of the Long Xiang Army to fight in the north and south to bring safety to the people of other places. The consumption of military supplies for expeditions is much higher than that of internal operations.
Taichu Group also wants to invest to help restore the industrial and agricultural foundation in various places, although these investments can be exchanged for equity, not only will they not lose money in the long run, but they will also make a lot of profits, but there will be no income in the short term.
And the common people don't care how much you spend, after the big victory, then it's time to pay benefits. They were looking forward to welfare until their necks were long, and Xiang Ningxuan had to increase investment in people's livelihood.
Expenditures in several areas have been seriously exceeded, and the reorganized Longxiang Bank has secretly overissued a lot of currency, and the depreciation pressure is very great. Nowadays, for the sake of stability, the currency is linked to food, and once the currency is depreciated, it will inevitably cause panic among the whole people.
The president of the bank did not dare to over-issue again, and threatened to become Zimbabwe if he over-issued again! Unless, fire him, Longxiang Bank will resolutely no longer over-issue currency.
Nowadays, it is good to maintain the original investment in scientific research projects, how can there be money for additional investment?
After going to the Canglan World last time, she asked Asha Moore to develop a device that disrupts the portal and research energy crystals to give her two additional investments, which were read by Cheng Ling, the financial director, for a few hours.
Now, seeing Asha Moore, Xiang Ningxuan wanted to take a detour.
Nima, it's all a lie. The protagonists of other people's houses are the owners of the auction house, or in order to pretend to be forced to slap their faces, they can throw out large sums of money.
When it comes to Xiang Ningxuan, it's completely different. A group of people are like debt collectors, asking him for money in various ways.
Therefore, in the face of Asha Moore's flattering eyes, Xiang Ningxuan showed his unruly determination. Without squinting, he said that his brother's hand was injured and he wanted to go back for treatment quickly.
Asha Moore grabbed Xiang Ningxuan and said, "Just go sit down for a while, you have made new progress in what I have researched, it won't take much time to take a look, and it won't delay your treatment." ”
At the critical moment, Xiang Ningxuan's portable communication device rang.
After connecting, Wang Xi's voice came from inside: "Commander, news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Princess Greymane heard that you were injured and came to see you." ”
Xiang Ningxuan heard the sound of immortals, nice! Miss Tess has a heart.
However, on the surface, he still said with a regretful face: "That, diplomacy is no trivial matter." I'll go meet Tess first. I'll come back to you next time I have time. ”
In Asha Moore's resentful eyes, Xiang Ningxuan waved his sleeves, broke free of her palm, and left without hesitation.
————
Finally sneaking home, Xiang Ningxuan swore that he would not go to the Taichu Chaos Laboratory until the financial situation improved.
When the princess of a country arrives, the etiquette still needs to be done. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs prepared a simple but not simple welcome ceremony.
Then, Xiang Ningxuan and Tess had a cordial and friendly meeting.
Tess expressed her cordial condolences to Xiang Ningxuan's injury and sent Gilneth a healing tonic for the royal family.
Xiang Ningxuan thanked him for this and invited Tess to dinner.
In the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel, Tess changed into a bright red high-slit low-cut evening dress, and her slender legs and deep career line were so eye-catching. She didn't bring any jewelry, and she only wore light makeup on her face, which made her look beautiful and bright, which was very different from the tomboy outfit of the usual elite assassins.
If it weren't for the fact that there were a few waiters on the side, Xiang Ningxuan would have to take a few more looks.
Sitting in his seat, Xiang Ningxuan beckoned, "Come, please take a seat." Try our Chinese delicacies such as steamed mandarin fish, braised chicken nuggets, shredded pork with snow bamboo shoots, mushroom choy sum and whitebait egg drop soup. ”
When the supplies are not abundant, four dishes and one soup are already the highest standard set meals for two. These fresh fish, chicken, eggs and dishes are not something that ordinary people can eat.
Tess didn't know how to use chopsticks, so she tasted a few dishes in front of her with a knife, fork and spoon, and immediately praised them with a smile.
Xiang Ningxuan beckoned, "What to drink?" Wine or juice? ”
"Bring me some bars! But don't be too strong. ”
Xiang Ningxuan asked Tess to open a bottle of red wine, and he asked for orange juice.
"I'm not healed yet, and the doctors aren't allowed to drink." In fact, Xiang Ningxuan doesn't like to drink even if he is not injured, the white wine is spicy, the red wine is sour, the beer road, nothing is delicious, or the sweet and sour orange juice is delicious.
The two chatted while eating, and Tess went to Forty-Nine City as a representative of Gilneth some time ago. After seeing the size and strength of the country, Gilneth signed a series of treaties with the republic, almost turning himself into a vassal state of the republic.
"What a beautiful night view!" Tess looked out the window at the flickering lights.
Now, the power generation is gradually increasing, and the electric energy is no longer so tight, so at night, in the most prosperous area controlled by Xiang Ningxuan, there are many colorful lights at night.
Working hours are also not like the need to work overtime every day, as was the case in wartime. People finally have some time for themselves after dinner to go shopping and have fun.
Where there is demand, there are also savvy businessmen. Recently, many shops have been opened on the street, with a complete range of clothing, food, housing, transportation, leisure and entertainment, and various advertising signs are dazzling.
Such a night view is nothing to the modern person who has experienced the nightlife of the metropolis before the end of the day, but for Tess from Gilneth, it is a symbol of prosperity.
Such a scene also made Xiang Ningxuan forget the huge financial pressure, and he was proud that he could create such a foundation after the end of the world.
However, most of the people who can have money and hang out are military martyrs, and there is still a long way to go before everyone can have money and hang out.
Somehow, Tess looked at the night scene and wept silently.
"Uh, Tess, what's wrong with you?"
Tess pursed her lips and said with a sad face, "It's nothing, I just remembered the city of Gilneth." When it arrived, it was severely damaged by the earthquake, and more than 100,000 people are still homeless. Moreover, there are a large number of monsters invading the sea. Alas, why is my motherland so plagued by so many disasters? ”
Her face was flushed with drinking, but she pretended to be strong with tears, which made people feel pity.
Xiang Ningxuan shouted in his heart: "Miss Tess, your acting skills have made great progress!" In order to suppress the sympathy that is about to move.
Gilneth's situation is indeed not good, although the food crisis was relieved with the help of Xiang Ningxuan, but the earthquake that came almost destroyed Gilneth's economy, and they helped the demon capital attract the hatred of the heirs of Cthulhu. Now Gilnes, in addition to not being starved to death, is really poor and white.
Tess's current performance, I don't know if she is really moved by feelings, or acting for Xiang Ningxuan to see, or both. In short, her purpose was to hope to get more assistance from Xiang Ningxuan.
However, before Crowley's army reached the employment limit, Xiang Ningxuan asked them to go home for defense, and the grain that was negotiated at the beginning was still given, which was already very face-saving.
Don't look at the glamorous here, as I said before, Xiang Ningxuan's own financial situation is on the verge of collapse, how can he have the spare strength to help Gilneth?
Therefore, Xiang Ningxuan comforted on the surface, but did not mention any substantive help.
In the following time, the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward, and the two of them finished the dinner with the same taste and chewing wax.
When Xiang Ningxuan sent Tess back to the room, Tess obviously waited at the door for a while, and as long as he wanted, he could easily step forward and push down the beautiful and delicious Miss Tess.
But Xiang Ningxuan asked himself if he couldn't pull out X ruthlessly, so the only thing he could do was to restrain himself with strong willpower and not to insert it.
This night, Xiang Ningxuan felt like a plagiarist with no money, tossing and turning, not knowing how to fall asleep.
But he knew that he must have woken up the next morning.
