Chapter 422: Are You Really Only 24 Years Old?
Sheridan and Fielding are most worried about one thing, what will happen to the tepid, steady guy in the middle, if he gets angry, what will happen to "Christel", what will happen to the industrial park, what will happen to the two of them, Ruskin, and many other workers? Why would those on the board have already read the battle report? There is a limit to man's patience, and if one is not handled properly, it annoys him, and the consequences are unimaginable. ,
"Boy, I'm asking you!" Ruan Tingwen's expression was very ugly, he was young, he had always been pampered since he was a child, and he had just inherited his father's position, and he had not long taken over as a director, so it was inevitable that he would be greedy and arrogant in doing things, which is why he was sent to the field after Pan Jianyuan and others suppressed it to no avail.
"Are you Vietnamese?" Tang Fang asked an inexplicable word.
Ruan Tingwen was stunned for a moment and said, "Why are you asking this?" β
"Curious."
"Curious?"
Tang Fang stopped talking again, raised his buttocks, and casually took out a P38-sickle from behind his back, and without thinking about it, he directly pulled the trigger on the holographic projection device where Ruan Tingwen was.
"Bang." Tongues of fire splashed, Ruan Tingwen's angry face twisted a few times, and disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
At this time, Tang Fang slowly withdrew his weapon, his expression was calm, his tone was tepid, and he said: "If my guess is correct, the chairman should come out at the last moment to be a peacemaker and draw a perfect end to this double reed." But it's a pity, I'm not in the mood to wait, which of you sues him, and you have to come out as much as possible. β
Ignoring the stunned expressions of several directors, he squinted at the timetable on the mobile video: "I'll wait for him for thirty seconds at most." β
Sheridan was half frightened to death by the shot just now, and he thought that Tang Fang couldn't help but go crazy, but he didn't expect that the next sentence was like a bright light in the cold night, which made him wake up all of a sudden. It turned out that this qiΔ was a play written and directed by the board of directors. Pan Jianyuan, Robin? Rupert and these people are in a hurry, in order to put a certain amount of pressure on the Tang side in terms of momentum, and the next appearance of Ruan Tingwen as a clown can stimulate the anger of the captain, and by the way, find out the temperament and psychological limits of the other party, and finally the chairman will come forward. Settle this quarrel.
After such a battle, if it is replaced by an ordinary person, who is alone and has no respite, the situation will definitely be affected and lose every inch, so as to disrupt the progress of the negotiation, affect the wording and play in the future, and achieve the first voice. The purpose of surrendering without a fight.
"High, really high! He is worthy of being an old fox in the business field. Sheridan and Fielding felt a chill in their spines, and sure enough, none of the guys who could do that high position were fuel-efficient lamps.
If these people on the board of directors are old foxes, then what is the origin of the 24-year-old captain in front of him? Could it be that he has been trained into a pair of fiery eyes since he beat his mother's womb, plus a seven-trick heart?
The air was filled with the pungent smell of melted rubber, and clusters of sparks erupted from the damaged holographic projection equipment. The entire conference room was silent, except for the sound of electricity. and the heavy gasps of Sheridan and Fielding.
After a few breaths, the triangular conference table was facing the top corner of Tang Fang, and a man was about 60 years old, with a Chinese face, lying silkworm eyebrows, a straight nose and a wide mouth. The old man, who was not angry, appeared in the conference room.
Tang Fang knew that this must be the current chairman of "Daystar Pharmaceutical", Bilbohm? Raphael, of Jewish descent, had a yellowish sub-complexion, a pronounced large nose, and slightly curly hair. From a distance, it looks a little decadent and sloppy, but the eyes are extremely bright, as if they can see through people's hearts.
"Hello Mr. Tang, on behalf of 'Daystar Pharmaceutical', I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to you." Bilbom said with a pleasant face, and there was no embarrassment or annoyance on his face, on the contrary, his subdued tone had an indescribable magnetism, which made people feel kind.
"There's no need to be polite." Tang Fang waved his hand, and his eyes swept over the board members of "Qixing Pharmaceutical" present: "Actually, you don't have to be like this, I have always been very talkative." His expression was very serious, like a lecturer in a class analyzing a mathematical equation, with a different kind of look.
Sheridan felt that the temperature in the conference hall was a little low, and wondered if to turn on the air conditioner higher, the holographic projection equipment that had just been shot by the captain was still emitting wisps of green smoke, and the sparks were dizzy from time to time, such a person is easy to talk to, who would believe it? Comparatively speaking, the chairman's ability to act without getting angry is much stronger.
"Okay, let's gossip, let's get down to business and talk about cooperation."
Bilbot didn't dwell on him about "whether he is good to talk or not", and when he turned to cooperation, he asked very bluntly: "What do we get?" β
The remaining 5 board members all looked at Tang Fang, but unfortunately Ruan Tingwen was not there and lacked symmetry and beauty.
"Money, a lot of money." Tang Fang's answer was concise and to the point.
Except for Sheridan and Fielding, everyone else present laughed, it was a kind of smiling face that was a little sarcastic, some contemptuous, and some disapproving smiles, which reminded Tang Fang of the expressions of the monks who had gone through 14 years of cold and summer, 9981 tribulations, and traveled 100,000 miles through mountains and rivers when they arrived at the Leiyin Treasure Temple.
How similar the two are!
Robin? Rupert teased: "Money is a good thing, but you have to spend it with your life." β
"Working with you will offend a lot of people." Bilbohm added.
In fact, the failure of the quantum communication equipment in the park was just a delaying tactic by Sheridan, Fielding and others, in order to create convenient conditions for the headquarters of "Daystar Pharmaceutical" to investigate the origin of the Morningstar. Tang Fang knew this well, but he didn't break the face of taking care of Sheridan, Ruskin and others.
If the quantum communication equipment in the park fails, could it be that the quantum teleportation equipment of the transport fleet is also malfunctioning? Judging by Bilbohm's words, I'm afraid that it has already been taken from Terry? Ferdinand learned about the feud between Morningstar Casting and Councilor O'Neill and Iga Heavy Industries, which is why he just said.
"If you don't pay, you can't get anything in return."
Don believes that Bilbohm understands, and he doesn't explain positively because he doesn't want to lie, Robin? Rupert was right when he said that money is a good thing. However, unless you bring it into the coffin, it will only increase the chance of the owner's violent corpse wilderness. Terry? Ferdinand knew about the feud between Morningstar Casting and Councilor O'Neill and Iga Heavy Industries, but he didn't know that Tang had an even more powerful enemy, His Majesty Kirclov I, Emperor of the Monya Empire.
"Mr. Tang, I know more or less about the current situation of Morningstar Casting." Is it Caroline who speaks? Ruhr. The only female member of the seven directors is supposed to be Latina based on her skin color and facial features.
"There is no capital, no manpower, no equipment, only technology, to put it nicely, your Morningstar Casting has core competitiveness and has a certain future. It's hard to say. In fact, it is a shell company, and the so-called ship manufacturing process is only your side of the story, after all, no one has seen your so-called number jΓΉ with their own eyes. β
Caroline? Ruhl is a woman, and the words that come out of her mouth are not very polite, and can even be said to be scathing, she is not worried about offending Tang Fang for this. Because even if she doesn't say these words, someone else must say them. The young man across from him was smart, and he must have thought of that.
Tang Fang looked up at her for a while and said with a smile: "Indeed, I don't have funds, manpower, or equipment. The future I have promised you is nothing more than a dream at the moment. Some people may think that I am a clever liar, a master of white wolves with empty gloves. β
"But...... I want to ask you one thing, in the entire territory of the Star Alliance, is there any military industrial enterprise that can repair 120 damaged warships in just 5 days? β
"What? Repair 120 damaged warships in 5 days? Caroline felt like he was bragging. Sheridan had previously reported the loss of "Christel", the resource supply station was damaged in the battle with Charleman's fleet, and now there is only one reserve space station launched, there is no large number of maintenance personnel, there is not enough equipment, with the crew of the Morningstar, even if the kitchen cooks have maintenance skills, it is impossible to repair 120 warships in just 5 days.
It is true that she is a businessman, but it does not mean that there is no common sense in ship maintenance, 120 damaged warships, even if they are only lightly damaged, pull to the maintenance space station of large military enterprises such as "Rover Technology Consortium" and "Ward Heavy Industry", and the maximum load operation of the whole repair line, it may not be able to have such progress.
Bilbom looked at Sheridan, his eyes were full of surprise, he had heard Sheridan mention this matter, it was just a trivial matter, and he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect him to take it out at this time as a capital to prove his ability.
Not to mention that Bilbohm, Caroline and others were puzzled by this matter, even Sheridan was dumbfounded, the resource supply station over "Christel" had been occupied by the Morningstar since it was formed, and no outsiders or probes could approach it, so naturally there was no way to know the progress of repairing the damaged pirate warship.
If what Tang said was true, it took only 5 days to repair 120 damaged pirate warships, which is simply a miracle...... Marvel......
Thinking of this, Sheridan shuddered suddenly, feeling like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the cold breath swept through his body. 5 days ago, when Tang Fang borrowed the resource supply station, he only said that it was used to repair damaged warships, he didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, that kid is afraid that he would have expected today's situation, "repairing damaged warships" is just one of the purposes, and the other purpose is to show the technical strength of Morning Star Casting, killing two birds with one stone, so deep scheming, and careful thinking.
At this moment, the door of the conference room opened, and a correspondent walked in quickly, ignoring the board members, and rushed directly to Sheridan with a miserable expression, and said loudly: "Oh no, no, pirates...... The pirate battleship rebelled. It wasn't until he finished saying that he noticed Tang Fang in the middle, his face changed again, as if he had seen something incredible, pointing at him and then at the sky, and finally his expression swept over the six directors in front of him with a blank expression, and he was dumb all of a sudden.
"What the hell is going on?"
Sheridan suddenly woke up, and the pirate battleship ...... Rebel? Charman's people have suffered a big loss, and they will definitely not come to "Christel" again in a short time to find them unhappy, and the correspondent uses the word rebellion, could it be Byron? No...... No, that's Stephen? This guy suffered a big loss on the Morningstar a few days ago, and if he can't get over that hurdle in his heart, he may be able to do something out of the ordinary when his brain is hot.
"Isn't it Stephen? Sue? β
"No...... No. The correspondent glanced at the captain in the middle, who was sitting upright and seemed to be indifferent to anything. He was puzzled, of course, this did not prevent him from stating the facts: "Yes...... It's the broken ships that were supposed to be repairing at the resource depot. β
"What?" Sheridan subconsciously looked at Tang Fang.
He ...... They had approached 'Christier', Byron's fleet had fled without a fight, and now the entire industrial complex was exposed to the guns of those 120 ships. The correspondent continued, he did not understand. I don't understand why the guy who was supposed to be the leader of the pirate battleship is so calm and fearless, doesn't he know the current situation, or does he know nothing?
He sat like that, his face was as usual, and the corners of his mouth were tilted upwards to raise a line, like a verdant weeping willow in the spring breeze, although it was moving. But it gives people a feeling of being so quiet that it is suffocating, and it is so quiet that it is selfless.
The correspondent didn't understand, he couldn't understand why Tang Fang was sitting so calmly, why he was smiling so indifferently, he couldn't understand the horror that exploded in Sheridan's eyes, and the abruptness that was diametrically opposed to the shock, and he couldn't understand the lengthy silence of those people on the board, as if he was in a strange alien space. All are illusory, and only he is real.
"Marcus. You go down, tell Ruskin don't be nervous, they won't fire. After a long time, Sheridan said calmly.
Marcus felt that what happened today was very unreasonable, as if it were a nightmare, and the atmosphere in the conference room made him very depressed and unreal. He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in these people's gourds, and he couldn't understand why those battleships that should have lost their combat ability were reborn and restored to their original state in just 5 days, and even the logo on the side of the ship was replaced with a morning star that sowed a faint halo.
Since Sheridan said it was okay, it must be okay. Because the manager has always been timid, he will definitely not joke with his net worth, in addition, Captain Tang Fang Tang is still here, those pirate battleships should not fire, if their purpose is not to attack "Christier", then why put on this battle?
Until he walked out of the conference room, he didn't think clearly what stage the guys in the room were setting up and which play they were singing.
Sheridan slowly sat down in his place, and stopped talking, what else could he say? The old fellows on the board of directors are all masters who eat people and don't spit out bones, and where can he explain this, which can be seen from the depressed expression of Lady Caroline as if she was a widow.
It may be a bit vicious and exaggerated to describe Caroline's current mood with the pain of bereavement, but the depression in her heart is really thick and deep, she never thought that the young man who had just laughed at him for not being able to do anything was put on his wrinkled forehead with a gun, not the P-38 sickle on his waist, but a larger naval gun, as many as 120 guns.
The young man opposite didn't move his hand, he didn't move his mouth, he sat like that the whole time, his shoulders were level, his spine was straight, and he didn't even change the rhythm of his breathing.
Caroline felt like he had done nothing, but he had done everything.
It's a contradiction, but it doesn't feel contradictory.
The conference room was a little cold, Sheridan and Fielding didn't dare to speak, Tang didn't want to speak, and the directors couldn't speak. Ruan Dinh Van and Caroline's experience told them that there were many mistakes, and the heavier the words, the louder the slap became.
Counting from one to ten, plus three deep breaths, Bilbohm finally sighed and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder if the business scope of Morningstar Casting is really limited to civilian ships and does not participate in arms disputes. β
Tang Fang raised his eyelids slightly, and replied to the question: "'Christiel' is very good, the emperor of the sky is far ......."
Bilbohm's eyes narrowed, and he changed his previous expression, he smiled, a little helplessly, and a little hysterical, his laughter lasted for about half a minute, and then slowly converged: "Are you really only 24 years old?" β
"What? The chairman intends to marry his granddaughter to me? He stopped laughing, but Tang Fang laughed again, the difference was that the captain's smile was a little ridiculous, a little unreasonable, and a little obscene and lustful.
Bilbot was silent, not amused by this joke, perhaps, this is the young man opposite is deliberately adjusting the atmosphere of the venue, but he can't laugh at all, it is undeniable that he likes smart people, likes to do business with smart people, but he is not willing to do business with smart people like Tang Fang, because this will give him the illusion of walking a tightrope in the sky, a slight wrong step, it is the end of the broken bones, to do this kind of business, he must pour out all the paste accumulated in his mind for many years, and break a mind into eight petals, Too tired!
Decades of business life have trained him with incomparably keen insight, and Bilbot knows very well that this is an opportunity and a challenge, just like Tang Fang said before - "'Kristiel' is very good, and the emperor is far ...... the sky." The fact that "Daystar Pharmaceutical" won the development rights of the "Dilar" star system itself shows one thing, he is not willing to lie dormant and wants to win the peak of the Star Alliance and become a small group of people at the top of the pyramid.
"I can lend you 'Dillard', or I can provide personnel, channels, and even inject capital into Morningstar Casting, but the core shipbuilding process must be shared with resources." (To be continued......)
