Chapter 373: Tang Fang's thoughts
Johnny didn't move, he suddenly arrived and his spine was a little cold, and the wind in his crotch pocket drilled straight into his cheeks, and the dagger was like a cold soaking muscles and bones. /
This kid is also terrible, such a delicate mind, such a calm character, no wonder...... It's no wonder that you can become the captain of a ship at a young age. It's best for such a guy to be a friend, and if it's an enemy, it's definitely nerve-wracking.
Also, what does he rely on? 1 billion Star Coins, plus a Lightning Python-class destroyer, is enough to make some small pirate groups go crazy, how can a single battleship withstand the siege of a large number of pirate warships?
Johnny was very curious about how the young man named Tang Fang would kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys.
"Hey, it's okay." Tang Fang walked up to the shuttle driver who had just been pushed to the ground by Hilgai, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's okay." The man in his thirties said with a wry smile.
After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Tang Fang, and when he saw Haosen and Churchill following behind him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "You...... Are you their boss? The owner of this cargo? ”
"Yes, exactly." Tang Fang nodded, and saw that the kind-hearted driver comrade was not injured, so he calmed down.
"Ugh." The driver sighed and said worriedly, "You're a foreigner, right?" It's too late to go, before they can act......"
"'Lokia' is the most mixed place, the streets and alleys, the harbor and the docks, there are some pirates and heroes everywhere to arrange the eyeliner, once they are targeted, if they go late, something big will happen."
After seven or eight years of short-haul freight transportation in Star Port, he has a deep understanding of the dirty dealings between the underworld forces and pirates and even the government in these places. In general, such a large deal as the remains of the Ipsisaurus. Unless it is a large expedition team, most people will generally hire government agencies to come forward to bid and trade on their behalf, although the commission paid afterwards is expensive, but fortunately, it is safe, convenient, and has no worries. After all. As one of the three major forces in the Tianchao Star Region, the Star Alliance is still very good in terms of reputation.
But what did the young man in front of him do? Such a big deal would actually go and negotiate with the military industrial complex on his own, Johnny's old fellow is an authentic man, he has eaten more salt than the young man has walked, God knows if he will be cheated on the price of the transaction.
Not only that, but he even appeared in a public place with the other party generously, who is Johnny, the manager of the "Rover Technology Consortium" office in "Lokia", such a large company. There are people watching every move, how can he make such a big move, how can he not attract attention. Moreover, such a precious thing as the remains of the Ipsi Dragon Ruins, he only covered it with a tarpaulin, and generously hired the most basic transportation unit like himself.
It's too reckless, it's too careless, it's a young man in the end. Lack of consideration. If this is just an ordinary trivial matter, it is a big deal worth hundreds of millions of star coins. It's good to be targeted by those pirates, and at least lose both money and goods, and at worst lose your life.
"Young man, you're really too hasty!"
Although the shuttle driver was well-intentioned, his words caused some people around him to talk about it. Don't look at that kid is only in his twenties, very young, but in the end, he is the captain of a ship, and there are more than 200 people under him, you are a cargo shuttle driver. The status is 108,000 miles away from others, but he pretends to be old-fashioned, this guy is too real, he has been mixed with the dock for so many years, and he is mixed up in vain.
"Stupid, fuck!" Someone said with a sneer.
"I think this guy has had enough of 'Lokia', some things can be said, some things can't be said, and he doesn't understand the Tao here? If the people behind Hilgai knew what he had done, I am afraid that he would lose his job. ”
"That's it, that's it, it's not good for An An to do his own job, so he has to go to this troubled water and be a good person. Doing good deeds comes at a price! Therefore, honest people are destined to be poor all their lives. ”
“……”
Tang Fang's body is far better than ordinary people, and the voices of those onlookers are all in his ears, he didn't hear it, looked at the driver comrade with a smile, and said to him left and right: "You have been running transportation here for a long time?" ”
"Ahh The driver nodded subconsciously.
"There is no future for short-distance freight, are you interested in running long-distance flights?"
"I don't have a cargo ship." The driver's expression was a little lonely, even this cargo shuttle, half of the loan has not been repaid, like the kind of cargo ship worth tens of millions, hundreds of millions of star coins, and the two of them can't afford to buy it even if they sell it.
"Hmm, do you have a business card?" Tang Fang asked again.
The driver clicked on the video communication device in his arm, and the 3.7-inch display popped up, and a string of characters flashed on it. Tang Fang took the multi-function PDA handed by Churchill, swept it at the display screen, and threw it behind him: "Well, Morgan? Campbell? Thank you for what you just did, and I'll contact you when I have business in the future. With that, he patted him on the shoulder, turned and left.
"No, no." It wasn't until the three of Tang Fang walked out of a distance that Morgan reacted and shook his head vigorously: "Now it's your business, not mine......"
Tang Fang waved his hand without replying.
"This guy, alas!" The driver comrade is not chasing, nor is he chasing, and his expression is complicated.
"Let's go." As he walked past Johnny, Tang Fang smiled at him and told Hausen to contact Grant and Joey. He followed Johnny to the "Star Alliance Bank-Lokia Branch" in the heart of the business district.
When the group arrived at the bank, Grant had been waiting in the lobby for a long time, and Walton was not there, presumably stumbling over the matter at hand.
"How's it going?" As soon as the two met, Tang Fang asked casually.
"Almost, there are some miscellaneous daily necessities left, and Walton is buying them as they are."
Tang Fang nodded: "Is the cost enough?" ”
"It's almost, the daily consumables in life don't cost much, only the price of nuclear raw materials, medicines, and scientific research equipment that Professor Valentine needs is slightly higher, and some of them are still in demand, so they are not easy to buy."
"Well, do your best, don't worry about money. You can buy all the scientific research equipment that Wa Lao needs, and if you can't buy it, you don't have to force it, what can't you buy in the free market of 'Babylon'? ”
"I see." Grant agreed, and swept Johnny behind several people: "Is he?" ”
Tang Fang stepped aside: "Our rich man." Office Manager of the Rover Technology Consortium in Lokia. Mr. Johnny. ”
"Oh, Mr. Johnny, hello." Grant said hello to him, and the two shook hands, which was considered to be acquaintance.
Then, Johnny turned his head to look at Tang Fang: "Mr. Tang." Please give me a bank account. ”
Without waiting for the captain's command, Grant entered a string of account IDs into the PDA in the palm of Mariteth's palm.
"Please come with me." The merchant glanced at the bank account number and walked towards the VIP customer service area on the left.
For large enterprises like the "Rover Technology Consortium", banks will give certain preferential treatment, which shows that in terms of service attitude, handling fees, financial management and other aspects.
There are two considerations for Johnny's business process of not transferring money electronically, but going directly to the bank. First, if there are witnesses, what happens in the future will not affect you. For example, if Tang Fang was attacked and killed because of today's incident. There is no guarantee that there will be no hostile forces to gossip and damage the reputation of the "wanderer". Second, this is the first cooperation between the two sides, and it is still a 1 billion-level transaction, and the transfer procedures will be done by the bank, and the Tang side will be more assured.
Under the warm reception of the bank staff, the transfer work ended quickly, Tang Fang looked at the balance of 1.02533 billion in the card and nodded, and threw the crystal card to Grant very casually. Johnny's eyes narrowed again when he saw this scene. Even the well-informed customer reception specialist was shocked, secretly wondering about Tang Fang's origin.
It is difficult for this kid to be the heir to a large enterprise. The real rich second generation? Or is it that after the great nobles of the sovereign country, hundreds of millions of star coins are casually thrown to his subordinates, and he is not afraid that he will abscond with the money. That's enough money for a family to live comfortably for a few lifetimes.
"Okay, Mr. Tang, now we'll get both money and goods." Johnny stood up from the couch and held out his right hand: "It's a pleasure to work with you. ”
"I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with your company in the future." Tang Fang also stretched out his right hand.
"That's right. If you need to buy minerals, just send someone to me. ”
"No problem." Tang Fang smiled and let go of his clenched right hand.
"Although I know that Mr. Tang will be able to get through this difficult time, I still want to remind him. Be careful, whether it's 'Jakarta Pur' or 'Babylon', the situation is far from being as calm as it seems. ”
"Thanks for the reminder, I'll take note."
Tang Fang accompanied Johnny out of the bank, said goodbye at the intersection, and turned around with Claire and the others into a hotel. Grant booked a suite, went upstairs and sat down, and Tang Fang explained his earlier experience and his plans to a few people.
After listening to this, Grant pondered for a while and said, "It's a good idea, but who is the right one to keep?" "This person must be mature and stable, but also have excellent social skills, and he must be loyal to you, if you think about it, there are really not many people on the Morningstar who meet these three conditions.
Nehmeyah was the best candidate, but the old man was getting older. Aros is also okay, he can have the temperament of a veteran, I'm afraid he won't agree. Zhou Ai, Zhou Ai is also suitable, but ...... Is Tang Fang willing to send his old friends who have only met for a short time here?
Grant looked up at Tang Fang.
"Hey, Tang Fang, look at me, how am I?" You don't have to think about it to know that this must be the most self-aware Haosen.
"You? Is it a good hand to engage in sabotage, do business? That's a layman, unless my head is clipped, I'll be stupid enough to use you. Tang Fang was amused by his words.
"I knew that you were reluctant to let me go, but the two of us were in love!" Haosen muttered for a long time, and suddenly held back such a sentence.
"Poof......" Claire couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhou Ai also shook his head and sighed, and glanced at Tang Fang: "As the saying goes, if there is a soldier, there will be a nest of bears." What kind of leader there is, what kind of subordinates, you captain...... Tsk, tsk......"
On the other side, Churchill clutched his black chest hair, his face as bruised as a ripe strawberry.
"Ramming!" Tang Fang's hairs all over his body were erected by his disgusting words, and the good way was that those who were close to Zhu were red, and those who were close to ink were black. Bai Hao's little bastard has always loved to offer treasures in front of himself. Yes, now Haosen has also been infected by him, the key is that this mallet has never been very good at talking, and belongs to the kind of professional household with hairy hands and feet, which is obviously a sentence of sycophancy, and will always be slapped on the horse's leg in the end.
"Tang Fang. It's still business, I'd like to hear your thoughts. "Grant is such a person, it's nothing to fight around when he's fine. When it comes to business, it will be serious and strict.
"What do you think of Walton?" Tang Fang expressed his opinion.
"Come with me." Grant smiled when he heard this, as a friend for many years, a brother in the trenches. Walton knew Walton very well about his character, and it was really fitting that he should leave this matter to him.
Tang Fang looked at the others again, and when he saw that there were no opinions, he immediately clapped his hand and said, "It's Walton." Grant, you go and upgrade your bank account in a moment, and set off a sub-account under the main account so that Walton can access it in the future. ”
"Okay." Grande nodded.
Tang Fang walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back and looked at the busy street under his feet. After a little hesitation, he said: "Walton's words alone are a bit thin after all, so it is better to arrange a few more people to assist." ”
"Just let Joey stay, plus 2 crew members, 4 people should be almost enough."
"Well, let's do it."
"I'm going to Walton and check the progress of the purchase." Grant got up and walked out the door.
"By the way, I'll leave the shipping of goods to that Morgan just now. Quite a real person. Tang Fang added temporarily.
"Okay."
After Grant left, Tang Fang contacted Tang Lin and Tang Yun. told them the address of the hotel, and finally asked why the two of them didn't return for a long time, but I didn't expect Tang Lin to pour beans and complain about his bitterness.
It turned out that Tang Yun, the little girl, hadn't gone shopping much since Tang Lin's accident, and she was really suffocated, and this time she came to "Lokia" like a fish returning to the sea, and bought a lot of gifts in big bags. Clothes, cosmetics, snacks, magazines...... There is everything to eat, to play, but it is hard for him to be a follower, and now he is a humanoid transporter.
"Hey, hey." What can Tang Fang say, he just laughs dryly. Xiao Nizi has been holding back on the boat for so many days. It's normal to come out and rejoice.
Hung up the phone, returned to the sofa and drank a few sips of tea, frowned and thought for a moment, gave an order to Hausen and Churchill, and the two turned around and walked out of the room, leaving only him, Claire, and Zhou Ai.
"Tang Fang, you did it on purpose to make trouble with that ruffian just now." Zhou Ai held a butterfly knife in his right hand, and while slowly trimming his nails, he spoke very casually.
Claire's face was worried: "Johnny is right, if we leave directly, no one can do anything to us, but if we stay for a day or two and then leave, I'm afraid it will give those pirates a chance." As the saying goes, more is better than less, what are your considerations? ”
Tang Fang bent down and picked up the "Lokia Travel Guide" on the coffee table, and flipped through it casually: "I want to try the power of the Morningstar's main gun, but I don't know who to shoot, since they hit the muzzle, then they can't blame me." ”
Claire snorted coldly and gave him a hard look: "It's strange to believe you." ”
Zhou Ai was stunned: "What do you mean?" In her opinion, Tang Fang's explanation was reasonable, and even she wanted to see what would happen to those blind pirate warships under the bombardment of the Morningstar's main guns.
"This guy is not that innocent." Claire pursed her lips, snatched the "Lokia Travel Guide" from Tang Fang's hand, narrowed her phoenix eyes into two crescent moons, and said in a very gentle, but threatening voice: "Say, my beloved captain, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd." ”
"Hehe...... Tang Fang smiled "Hanhan": "I know I can't fool you, and sometimes, 'killing chickens and monkeys' is a necessary measure." ”
"I'll just say it." Claire took the empty cup in front of Tang and refilled it with boiling water: "A shrewd guy like him, I can't wait for the Yin people in the future to hide his strength, he will expose his means for the sake of temporary coolness?" The devil believes it! ”
Zhou Ai carefully looked at Tang Fang, who was sneering, and muttered: "Little fox......"
Tang Fang touched his nose, a little embarrassed, Claire is too faceless, what's wrong with pretending, as for exposing him in front of Zhou Ai.
"Di Di Di Di ......" At this moment, the phone rang, and the mobile video camera was clicked, and Churchill's face appeared on the display.
"How's it going?"
"Found it."
"Okay." Tang Fang nodded: "Give you and Haosen a night of free time, but remember not to cause trouble." ”
"Don't worry, with me watching, I won't let him come nonsense." With that, the thing disconnected in a hurry.
Tang Fang took two sips of tea and looked at the timetable that had been adjusted to "Jakarta Pur". Chong Ernu frowned and said, "It's not too early, let's go, go to dinner, and I'll take you to a fun place when I'm done." ”
"Sell it again." Claire sighed helplessly: "With what I know about you, I must be using my brain again." ”
"Where?" Tang Fang pouted, just like a little daughter-in-law who had been angry with her mother-in-law.
"I finally know why Hausen is like this. Fish begins to rot from the head! Zhou Ai shook his head and sighed.
"Forget it, it's not okay if I don't talk about it, the more you depict it, the darker it gets." Tang Fang shrugged, took the military uniform on the hanger and put it on, and was just about to leave, when Claire came over and smoothed the folds on his shoulders: "Okay, let's go." ”
The three of them walked out together, following the route map outlined in the "Lokia Travel Guide". Turning left and right, Tang Fang took the second daughter to a relatively remote alley, and walked straight into a relatively poorly decorated shop.
"I really didn't expect to find such an authentic snack bar in 'Lokia', I really miss it." Smelling the thick fragrance of sauce wafting in the air, Tang Fang sighed with emotion.
This is a noodle restaurant, a very authentic Chinese noodle restaurant, looking at the various colors of noodles that change from time to time on the ultra-thin LCD display screen on the left and right sides of the menu. Tang Fang couldn't help but recall his life before he crossed over.
"Three, what do you want to eat?" A half-grown man with a few freckles on his face approached.
"Let's have a bowl of dandan noodles. It has to be super spicy. After speaking, he looked up at Claire with a blank face: "What about her...... If you're not used to spicy food, let's have a bowl of jajangmyeon. Next, he looked at Zhou Ai again. At this time, he saw the girl glaring at him, turned his head and said to the half-child, "Is there a cool skin?" ”
The half-grown boy looked at the strange trio in front of him. Nodding: "Yes, there is ......"
"Where's the meat bun?"
"Yes."
"Okay, one for each."
Tang Fang's eyes widened next to him, is there any mistake, is this way of eating still popular? Again. Zhou Aike is a noble child, he also understands this kind of civilian food, and he knows how to match it?
"Do I have flowers on my face?" Zhou Ai glanced at him: "Like to eat noodles?" ”
"Uh-huh." Tang Fang nodded.
"This is easy to do, I'll take the time to teach Claire a few more dishes."
"Zhou Ai, can I ask you a question?"
The girl flicked her hair back: "Ask." ”
"Are you really the granddaughter of the Marquis of Chirog?"
"Actually...... I'm a cook. ”
“……”
The three of them talked and laughed, spent dinner with taste, and after about 20 minutes, paid the bill and went out. Tang Fang took the face towel handed by Claire to wipe the grease stains on the corners of his mouth, and winked at them: "Go visit the special attractions of 'Lokia'." ”
"Featured attractions?" Claire frowned when she heard this, "Lokia" is a one-star port, what are the attractions.
Zhou Ai grabbed her arm with a playful look and looked at Tang Fang with a smile: "What? The captain is going to have fun? Shouldn't we shy away from it? ”
This guy, where do you want to go? Tang Fang stared at the changeable female devil in front of him viciously, this girl was simply mad when she launched a ruthless attack, and she didn't blink an eye when she killed people, but if she wanted to make a monster, she was like a clever ghost, which made people cry and laugh.
"No, no, how about we have a big sleep?" Tang Fang is also out of the way, it's a big deal to be hunted down and killed by her, how can the dignified old man be soft on this kind of issue.
Zhou Ai glared angrily and patted Claire on the shoulder: "I don't care about your family." ”
This time, Claire rarely did not unite with her, and glared at Tang Fang vigorously: "Who asked you to provoke him, he was eaten tofu, he deserved it!" ”
"Okay, you little couple are ganging up to bully me." Zhou Ai took a step back, wrapped his two hands around Claire's body from behind, pressed on the two white rabbits on her chest, and rubbed them for a while: "Haha, if he eats my tofu, I'll eat your tofu." When she was done, Claire pulled her hand and ran away.
"Don't chase her yet." Claire hugged her chest and looked at the culprit with a resentful face, but she saw that the kid was staring, and her eyes were staring at the two jade beads on her chest without blinking.
"Is it pretty?"
Tang Fang nodded, and subconsciously said, "It's good-looking...... Good looking......"
"Tang Fang!"
"Huh? I won't have anything to eat for the next two months! ”
As soon as he heard this, Tang Fang suddenly came to his senses: "I'll chase her, I'll take revenge on you." As he spoke, he pinched his five fingers viciously, and found that this action was a little obscene, so he quickly wiped it on his pants, laughed dryly, and chased after Zhou Ai quickly.
…… (To be continued......)
ps: I read the book review area today, and a friend said that the recent plot is too bland.
Actually, I'm good at writing about wars, and there are several chapters in a campaign...... However, the map of the Tianchao Star Region is very large, and the necessary foreshadowing still needs to be done, so I hope you understand it. R752
