Chapter Twenty-Seven: Exploration and the Limelight
Zhang Hai and the others returned to the Lucky Cat, and at this time, Zhang Hai and others went straight to the command room of the Lucky Cat. As soon as everyone sat down, Zhang Hai said to everyone: What do you think of today's meeting?
At this time, I saw Deputy Boatswain Zhang Heng replied succinctly: I think we have played well, and it is an understatement and logical use of this opportunity to rescue the hostages to establish a logical preliminary cooperative relationship with Governor Dong Fei of the Zebra Empire, as long as we are careful to maintain it in the future, we should have the opportunity to borrow our strength.
He Suji, the power chief, then also answered: "This is indeed the case, I observed that Governor Dong Fei has been looking at us with a sense of scrutiny in his eyes, which shows that it is right, it is not normal for us not to have the slightest suspicion. In the end, everyone agreed that while it was not yet noon, everyone would take a dozen crew members to put on ordinary clothes outside the ship's combat uniforms and go to the commercial center on the cheetah star to learn about the situation of the locals.
After preparing for half an hour, Zhang Hai and his five people walked off the Lucky Cat with more than a dozen sailors, rented a medium-sized tourist helicopter, and flew towards the largest ground commercial center of Cheetah Star.
Only twenty minutes later, the helicopter stopped in the tarmac called the Hunter Commercial Center, and everyone walked to the mall with the usual demeanor of shopping mall.
After entering the mall, Zhang Hai and the five found that there were still a lot of people in the mall, and many people could see that the crew of the spaceship docked on the Cheetah Star had come down to shop.
Originally, Zhang Hai and the five of them were just going to wander aimlessly, so Shi Shiran toured from the first floor to the fifteenth floor, and in the process, Zhang Hai and the others discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, many shops in this commercial center were hung with signs with greatly reduced prices.
This made Zhang Hai and others quite puzzled, it seems that there are a lot of customers in this commercial center, it should be a good business, why do these stores do this. With this question in mind, Zhang Hai and others came to the first floor of this commercial center, found a tavern called "Leopard Tail", which looked like the store looked more gorgeous and high-end, and walked in.
In this tavern, only the boss and the proprietress plus two intelligent robots are guarding the storefront, and the proprietress who greeted the guests outside saw more than 20 people from Zhang Hai's side coming in to prepare for dinner, and immediately enthusiastically introduced how good her store's craftsmanship was.
And Feng Qi first interrupted the proprietress of the street's enthusiastic introduction, and said bluntly: In this way, give us one of the signature dishes marked on your recipe.
After listening to Feng Qi's words, the proprietress immediately agreed with a smile, and immediately passed the dishes ordered by Zhang Hai to the back kitchen, just when the proprietress was about to leave to greet the others, Zhang Hai stopped her and asked the proprietress: Boss, delay you for two minutes to ask something, may I ask why the stores in your shopping mall have put up signs with large price reductions?
After hearing Zhang Hai's question, the proprietress sighed and said, "You must have just arrived at Cheetah Star, right?"
Zhang Hai nodded and said: Yes, that's right, what's wrong?
The proprietress then continued: Alas, I don't know which door of bad luck I went, in the past year, the tax officials in charge of this cheetah star have frequently raised taxes as if they had taken crazy medicine, and in the past six months, the tax has risen nearly tenfold, vaguely saying that it is going to prepare for a war, and I won't say anything more about it, so now it's not just our building, the whole cheetah star is not doing business well, but everyone is doing business, and there is not much liquidity on hand, and they don't dare to leave the cheetah star to go to other places easily, for fear of loss.
When Zhang Hai heard this answer, he smiled and said to the proprietress: Then thank you for the answer, the proprietress said that it was fine. After everyone ran out of lunch in this store, Zhang Hai proposed to go to other commercial distribution centers to see, in the afternoon, Zhang Hai and others visited a part of the business distribution center of Cheetah Star non-stop, Zhang Hai and everyone returned to the beckoning cat in the evening and hurriedly finished dinner and immediately got together for a meeting.
This time Zhang Hai said first: It seems that this time the Cheetah Star is coming to the right place, this time the Zebra Empire is going to start a war, and I don't know which country it is aimed at, so let's report this to Major General Zhuge Guang as soon as possible.
Zhang Hai's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and the first mate Wang Kang immediately sent an encrypted email to Major General Zhuge Guang, and soon Major General Zhuge Guang replied, saying that the investigation had begun and that all the personnel of the Lucky Cat would continue to make persistent efforts.
After receiving Zhuge Guang's information, Captain Feng Qi said: In this way, the Big Cat Star Domain is already surging in the dark tide now? After we participate in the charity party the day after tomorrow, we can try to go to the snow leopard star controlled by the White Bear Empire next to the Cheetah Star to have a look, if the Zebra Empire is preparing for war, the White Bear Empire is leaning on the side, it is impossible not to find any clues, the White Bear Empire will definitely be vigilant against the actions of the Zebra Empire secretly preparing for war, we can also go there to explore one or two to see if there is any important information worth noting.
And the next morning, Zhang Hai and the five people once again set out with more than a dozen crew members, this time not to go shopping, but to participate in the trial of pirates, in the Zebra Empire's Governor Dong Fei personally presided over the trial, these more than 300 pirates were all sentenced to capital punishment for their crimes, after the pirates who shouted with remorse were dragged out of the scene by the police of the Zebra Empire. Zhang Hai and the other crew members of the Lucky Cat naturally became the stars of the entire trial scene after the trial.
Those slightly crazy reporters were holding various photographic equipment around Zhang Hai and the five to do various interviews, so that Zhang Hai and the five felt a little flattered, and after a variety of activities to exchange contact information, Zhang Hai and the other dozen crew members finally rushed out of the Cheetah Star Court.
After successfully returning to the Lucky Cat, Zhang Hai and the others began to prepare the on-site response plan for tomorrow's charity dinner, and they all did the division of labor and rehearsals to prevent any flaws from being exposed in this major social occasion where people are all human spirits.
On the morning of the next day, it was time to attend the charity dinner, and Zhang Hai and the five of them still rented a tourist helicopter this time, and took 20 crew members to stand by on the helicopter at any time, and then Zhang Hai and the five of them were dressed appropriately and walked into the scene of the charity dinner.
As soon as they entered the door of the charity dinner, Zhang Hai and the others saw Governor Dong Fei at a glance, and Governor Dong Fei seemed to feel something, and turned his head to see them, so he beckoned them over.
After Zhang Hai and the five walked over with wine glasses, Governor Dong Fei pointed to Zhang Hai and introduced Zhang Hai to the elites of the Cheetah Star next to them, and emphasized that their son was rescued by them, which made Zhang Hai see the strong influence of Governor Dong Fei in Cheetah Star, and saw that the seemingly high-end people around Governor Dong Fei began to greet Zhang Hai and the five people.
