168. The Domino family
Old Man Lin took the phone, only listened for half a minute, and was equally shocked: "What did you say?" 1.5 billion? Who is the other party, is it an idiot, the premium is so high! Is it to force us to increase our holdings to compete? ”
The heavy truck hammer factory is a machinery manufacturing factory that the Lin family replaced with other industries from the Domino family many years ago.
It has always enjoyed a high reputation in the area around Mine City, and even in the entire Central Continent, and it is also an established factory that can bring great benefits.
If the Lin family was not at the critical juncture of the family's survival, they would never give up this piece of fat.
Putting down the phone, Old Man Lin pondered for a while, "Smack!" Suddenly, the palm of his hand slammed against the wall.
"Good! I'd like to see what the forces are, huh! Count the cash flow that you can use, and give me a statement of accounts in a moment. ”
"Okay, we'll count it right away."
When the secretary heard Old Man Lin's tone, he seemed to be angry and hurriedly ran out.
"Bastard! Who is so generous, 1.5 billion ...... Could it be the Dominoes? Well, it's unlikely to be Turner's...... They're themselves shareholders with replacement preference, so what's going on? ”
Old Man Lin walked back and forth in front of the hall, silently thinking about the strange things that had happened one after another in the past few days.
As he walked up to a wall, he suddenly looked up and saw a portrait of someone in the family.
The appearance of the person in the painting is somewhat like Lin Wenlai's idiot - his brother who died more than ten years ago.
He looked at the eyes that seemed to be mocking, and stood in a daze.
"Big brother, you have to bless our Lin family and not be bullied! I now feel as if someone is calculating our hundred-year-old Lin family. ”
……
In the south of the mining city, about 31 kilometers away from the main city, it is a private mansion located in the mountains with a beautiful environment.
The mansion looks very old, and its appearance is almost like a medieval castle from the Common Era.
In the courtyard outside the castle, there are numerous sentry posts and barricades, and the top of the building is also covered with sentry posts and shooting holes.
In a secluded and luxurious room in the mansion.
Two dark-haired men about 5 or 60 years old sat with fat bodies huddled into a mahogany sofa.
The most striking thing is that among the two fat heads in both ears, one on the left and one on the right, two identical, golden huge earrings.
In front of each of them was an identical, oddly large table, with the legs and corners fixed in metal.
If you look closely, it seems that the entire table is made of some kind of alloy, and the wood grain on the surface is just a faint layer of camouflage.
The two old men looked almost identical, and if it weren't for the two round earrings on the left and the right, the people who saw them at first sight would never be able to tell them apart.
At best, it can only be seen that they are twin brothers.
This is the leader of the oldest family among the ruling nobles of Mine City, the two domino patriarchs, the twin elders, George Domino and Marlon Domino.
In the room, there were several men dressed in fine costumes, and a female secretary of the Domino family.
Malone took out a coarse cigar from a delicate black wooden box.
The chubby fingers hooked up a small cigar cutter, cut off a section with a "snap", and then handed the cigar cutter to George.
Then he stretched out two fingers, his thumb and middle finger, and gently kneaded the end of the cigar a few times, and saw that the end of the cigar was pinched, and it was quickly ignited.
George on the other side did the same, and the instant heat made the cigar smolder, and soon began to swallow and enjoy.
After a series of smoke rings, the characteristic mellow aroma of the cigar wafts through the room.
The secretary walked over to the table in front of the two patriarchs, each with an identical document.
"The Turner family has already made a move, and they seem to be very concerned about the gadgets, even using their stake in the black market in exchange for the right of first refusal for subsequent products. This is the transcript that they released a day ago. ”
"Well, that doesn't matter, what I want to know is, are the results of our own analysis coming out?" Malone asked.
"You should all know the importance of that thing to us, have you found out the identity of the maker?" George followed.
The bespectacled secretary, apparently with a good rhythm of their brother's speech, spoke only after they had both finished speaking.
"The manufacturer has found out that it is a small machine workshop called 'Guangwu'. It was acquired a few days ago by an agency called 'Nata', and no information about that agency has been found yet. However, according to our experts, there is a lot of funding behind it, and it is almost certain that it is the work of the Turner family. ”
"As for our analysis of that thing, only part of it can be determined at the moment. That's a new type of biobattery. Of the three pieces that were brought back, one was already being dismantled and studied, and the other two had been experimented on the Type II and Type III machines, respectively, and the energy contained in them was the same...... What Mr. 'Ghost' said was amazing, almost one of them could drive the Type II, and if three were used at the same time, it should be possible to activate the Type III. ”
"Also, although we haven't started trying yet, judging from the energy data analyzed, the newly modified Big Mac Special γ may only need 8 of these biological batteries to make it function as before. This document is the study so far. ”
The secretary spoke like a cannon, speaking very quickly, but speaking steadily and clearly.
After saying that, she stepped forward again and put two reports on the table of the second elder.
"I don't look at this hard stuff! I only ask to hear the conclusions, like, can we imitate them? …… Where is that thing now? ”
"If you copy it, it may take a while to get results. In addition to the one that was disassembled, we have already brought the remaining two"
The secretary finished and nodded at a man dressed in white behind him.
It was a researcher, and in his hand was a small suitcase covered in black skin.
I saw him skillfully open the suitcase and put it on Marlon's table.
There are two strange-looking metal devices side by side.
"Huh? I've heard it's a small thing, but it doesn't look small! And it's very ordinary, no different from the general battery of ordinary locomotives! ”
Malone handed one to George and said.
The researcher hastened to reply, "Ah, no, Mr. Domino! It's just the outer shell of the battery, and the core is not one of those bulky electrolytic solution tubes, so I'm going to show you both. ”
With that, he picked up the other one in the suitcase and expertly opened the lock of the shell. He took out the battery, which looked like a small metal rod, and handed it to Malone.
As soon as Malone took the little thing, his right sleeve seemed to be covered with a layer of fluorescence, revealing through the cuff of his clothes.
"Oh, this sense of energy is really unusual! As Mr. 'Ghost' said...... The origin of this thing must be clarified. ”
