Watermelon juice really can't be on the table, as a man, he should drink, if it is placed somewhere else, such a table is really dirty, scum to burst.

However, whether it is Beard or Adam? Oliver, no one dared to underestimate half a point, because the young man who had poured the last drop of juice into his mouth with a knife in his hand, was about to cut something off the sturdy beef cow of the Star Alliance.

It could be worthless cow hair, or it could be delicious beef, or it could be some other important part, such as a cow. Whip.

"Four." Speaking of this, Tang Fang paused, narrowed his eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and said slowly: "I want 10,000 tons of zero element!" ”

This sentence is like the first spring thunder after the New Year, and like a scoop of cold water thrown into a hot oil pot.

Beard was silent, and so was Adam, not because they didn't want to speak, but because they simply didn't know what to say.

10,000 tons of zero element? If it is converted into star coins according to the current market price of "Babylon", the amount is as high as 1.1 trillion yuan.

This is simply a lion's mouth, asking for a sky-high price.

Adam thought that Captain Tang would slaughter him fiercely, but he didn't expect it to be so ruthless, 10,000 tons of zero element! This kid can say it.

He is the president of the Star Alliance, not the Emperor of the Star Alliance, and his power is limited, where can he get so many zero elements? It's not worth selling him as president.

"Are you kidding?"

After most of the past half of the day, he breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Tang Fang as if he was looking at an idiot: "You don't know what kind of social system the Star Alliance is, right?" I may be able to make some small policy moves, but I'm sorry for such a share of zero elements...... I can't. ”

The expression on Tang Fang's face did not change in the slightest, he still squinted his eyes, and said with a smile: "You can't do it." Those people behind you can do it, aren't there still big military enterprises like the 'Rover Technology Consortium' and 'Iga Industries'? A family taking out 100 billion may have some blood, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones. ”

Adam was slightly stunned, he thought that Captain Tang would fight the idea of military supplies, but he didn't expect that people were calculating military enterprises such as "Rover Technology Consortium" and "Iga Industry".

But if you think about it, it makes sense that there would be such a development. The suppression and exclusion of the "Morning Star Casting" is not only a group of politicians such as O'Neiens, in addition to the Black Thorn shipbuilding industry, several other large military enterprises and mineral dealers have intervened, and now that Captain Tang has returned safely, it is natural to settle accounts with them.

"Marlowe? Those minerals that Smith gave you...... Isn't that enough? ”

"You also said that it was a mineral given to me by Count Marlowe, what are you doing with the Star Alliance? If Mr. Adam haggles under such an excuse, then I can only say that you are not a good businessman. ”

Adam's hand clenched and loosened, and clenched again. When I let go again, I could see that he was nervous.

In fact, nervousness is still secondary, and he is more helpless.

"It's true that I'm the president of the Star Alliance, but it doesn't mean that those military industrial enterprises must obey me, on the contrary, many times I have to look at their faces and act, it's still the same sentence, this is the Star Alliance. Not the Phoenix Empire, and I...... At best, he is an agent. ”

Although there is an element of exaggeration in this sentence. But he also made clear his relationship with those big capitalists in a certain way.

The doorbell rang again behind him, and Beard got up and walked over, taking a large bowl with a lid in his henchman's hand and placing it in front of Don.

Gently lift the lid of the bowl, and an enticing aroma suddenly gushes out.

Tom Yum Goong is one of the most famous dishes in Thai cuisine, and although there are only two diners, Tang Fang and Beard, the quantity and quality of the dishes are even more sloppy.

Captain Tang didn't have the consciousness of being a guest at all. Picking up the silver glittering spoon, he gently scooped up a mouthful of soup and put it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Can I think that you are crying poor?" ”

Adam? Oliver is indeed crying poor because he is really poor.

The Covenant government's trade with companies like the Rover Technology Consortium is generally in the area of weapons research and development and arms procurement, and it is true that he can use some not-so-honorable means to benefit individual companies. But he is also very measured, and he does not dare to go too far, after all, there are still Republicans staring.

The zero-element value of 1,000 tons is enough for the sum of the profits of some military enterprises for several years, and he has no choice if a big boss like Hirohiko Iga does not cooperate.

Perhaps it was the sourness and spicinessness of the soup that gave birth to understanding, Tang Fang said: "Since 10,000 tons of zero elements is too much, then I will take a step back, 9,000 tons, it's okay." ”

After listening to the first half of the sentence, Adam? Oliver added a hint of expectation in his eyes, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, that trace of expectation instantly turned into helplessness, is there a difference between 10,000 tons and 9,000 tons? Captain Tang is playing tricks, right?

He said: "I can't take 9,000 tons, because there is no reason to convince those people, you are also a businessman, you should know the nature of businessmen better than me." ”

Tang Fang thought for a moment and said, "Do you think I will spare those people?" After knocking you down, I'll take them to court one by one. ”

That's a very nice thing to say, Adam? Oliver didn't care much, smiled helplessly, and said: "If I fall, they will not hesitate to put all the blame on the government, even if you win this lawsuit, I'm afraid that a long time has passed, as for compensation...... How many do you think there will be? ”

Tang Fang put down the spoon, pushed the bowl in front of Beard, and signaled that he would not eat it, which was very rude, but he didn't have the heart to care about the feelings of His Excellency the District Chief, because Adam? Oliver had a point.

In a lawsuit like this that involves a wide range of parties and has a very high status, it is impossible to conclude the case after a few years of trial and investigation, and he can't afford to wait, let alone wait.

"I'm not going to make any more concessions."

He suddenly said something surprising: "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. President's back should not be deserted." ”

This may seem irrelevant to today's topic, Adam? Oliver's face changed, and even the projected image shook violently.

Tang Fang guessed very right, his back was not cold at all, on the contrary, it was very lively.

In a confidential conference hall beneath Reinhardt Palace, he sat in the middle, his camera equipment hanging over his head. Two meters to the outside is a circular desk that encloses him in the center of the hall.

Swinburn, Chairman of Ward Heavy Industries, Hirohiko Iga, Chairman of Iga Industrial, Komodo, Chairman of the Rover Technology Consortium, and Obadia, Chief Director of Eco-Sovopurna Group......

These big capitalists at the top of the Covenant pyramid either came to the scene in person, or used projection technology to access the remote video communication system in the hall, and participated in the negotiation that was crucial to the current situation of the Covenant.

Adam? While Oliver was negotiating with Captain Don, they were also discussing their views on the matter, and had compiled their views on the electronic board in front of Mr. President for him to browse.

No one expected Captain Tang's eyes to be so poisonous. No, it was his mind that was so poisonous that he actually broke the environment around Mr. President, although he didn't say it explicitly, anyone could hear what he wanted to express in that sentence.

The hall is silent, Adam? The electronic board in front of Oliver suddenly broke down, and the picture froze.

Of course, Tang Fang couldn't see this scene, in fact, he didn't need to see this scene at all. All he had to do was make sure his enemies were there.

"There is an idiom in China called wanting to capture the old and indulge in it...... There is also a proverb that says that a reluctant child can't trap a wolf, I don't know if you've heard it, but you must understand the meaning of these two sentences. ”

"What do you mean?"

President Adam was a smart man who understood the literal meaning, but did not understand the meaning behind the words. Although he really wanted to be a roundworm in Captain Tang's belly, it was a pity that he wasn't.

"What do you mean? You might think so. ”

Tang Fang looked at him and smiled. The smile was a little fake, but it was bright: "What is the purpose of their attachment to you?" Presumably, Mr. President, knows this, but today, with your current situation, tsk...... I'm afraid I can't satisfy their appetite anymore, and I. Not only can you keep your crown, but you can also give them what they want. ”

After saying this, about 5 seconds later, Adam? Oliver suddenly sat up from the couch, stared at him and said, "You...... What did you say? ”

Tang Fang ignored him. Pinch the napkin to wipe the salad dressing off the corner of your mouth, and repeat: "9,000 tons of zero vegetarian." ”

"I need to think about it," Mr. President said. ”

Tang Fang shook his head: "You don't have time to think about it." ”

Adam frowned, puzzled, what did this mean? Is he stingy with time to consider?

Tang Fang looked at Beard and said, "Turn on the TV, please turn the channel to ABN." ”

The poor District Chief's Excellency became a full-time servant, but judging by his facial expressions and quick movements, he seemed very happy to have such a job.

As instructed by Captain Tang, he turned on a multimedia monitor facing Mr. President, and then used the voice-activated mode to adjust to the ABN channel.

ABN is a large-scale media company in the territory of Star Alliance, whose business scope involves various international and domestic political and commercial news consulting, and is a strict and professional media organization.

According to rumors, ABN's boss Paladin? Hegel's close ties with the Republicans made the ABN almost the mouthpiece of the Republican Party, and many negative news about the Liberal Party has been revealed by the ABN for a long time.

As Beard turned the stage, the screen was showing demonstrators confronting heavily armed riot police in the streets.

Exaggerating hatred and inciting civilian sentiment is a common trick of Republicans, and Beard was not at all surprised to see such a scene, and he turned back to Tang Fang with a puzzled look.

At that moment, the video of the march on television flashed and changed to another video footage.

Bilder looked back and found that it was when he and Tang Fang walked out of "Venice" that many reporters blocked the front hall for interviews.

The reporter on the ABN side gave a close-up shot of Tang Fang's action of holding his right arm to deliberately avoid the crowd, and played the two sentences of his helplessness twice in a row, and then the picture flashed and switched back to the anchor room.

After the gentle and demure hostess politely exchanged a few words, she suddenly threw a bombshell.

"According to credible sources, the assassination of Mr. Donfong at the docks yesterday was carried out by Connell, the nephew of Standing Councillor O'Neinnes. Carter hired a murderer from the Red Martyrs, the underground force of the Star Alliance. ”

"I believe you can guess some of this result from the earlier incident of 'Congressman O'Neill submitting his resignation to Congress,' however, there is one thing that you may not know."

A hint of coldness appeared on the hostess's face: "The bullet that wounded Mr. Tang Fang's gun was made of radioactive materials. ”

After saying this, she turned her head to look at a middle-aged Asian man in his 50s diagonally opposite: "Mr. Liu Haizhou, I want to hear your opinion on this matter." ”

If you are a loyal viewer of ABN TV, you must be no stranger to him. Republican exclusive political commentator Liu Haizhou.

He flipped through the paper folder in his hand and said: "I believe that some viewers in front of the TV are no strangers to polonium, yes, it is a metal element with extremely strong radioactivity, if this element is made into bullets for assassination, I believe that everyone understands without me." ”

"In yesterday's incident. Although the bullet fired by the killer did not hit Mr. Tang Fang's heart, it did injure his right arm, and during the period from the dock to 'Venice', he continued to be irradiated with high doses of radioactive elements, alas......"

Governor Liu Hai sighed, and the rest of the words were not said, but everyone understood what he wanted to express.

"Judging from the interview video in the front lobby of the 'Venice' hotel just played, Mr. Tang Fang's right arm is injured, combined with the last two sentences he said to express his helplessness. Can we make such assumptions? ”

"Mr. Tang Fang knows that his life is not long in coming, and he can't rest assured that his relatives and friends are safe, what will he do in order to ensure their safety?"

"I'm afraid I can only choose to compromise in exchange for the living space of my peers, as he said, as the head of the company, you must think about the livelihood of your employees. Sometimes...... One cannot live only for oneself. ”

“……”

Bilder found that he couldn't listen anymore, and the next conversation between Liu Haizhou and the female anchor went in and out of the left ear. He didn't take it to heart at all, he just looked at Captain Tang with a straight spine on the seat behind him, like a stone sculpture with a strict weather.

The scene that was broadcast on TV just now was like a cold Xuanbing long sword, piercing into the heart, and the flesh and blood of the whole body were frozen.

This man ...... It's horrible, he's not human!

Returning from "Alcaissy". Up to today's talks, his every move, word and deed has been purposeful, and these influences and results have been added together to become an irreversible trend, forcing the Adam government to move forward step by step according to his script. Let people fall into his trap unconsciously.

Such a guy is simply a demon who penetrates people's hearts.

Adam? Oliver was not as touched as Weld because he was in "Heisenberg", but that didn't mean he could take it in peace.

He is not surprised that the Republican side was able to obtain the fact that "bullets have radiation", but he wondered why the Tang side was able to accurately use every favorable factor. Is this calculation, this thought, really something that a person of his age can have?

"Mr. President, I don't have to say anything more, do I? If I don't come forward to explain and let the impact of this report ferment, do you think your delaying tactics can continue? Maybe the Republicans will strike you a fatal blow this afternoon, you know the reason for the speed of soldiers...... That's why I said you don't have time to think about it. ”

Adam? Oliver took a deep breath and said, "Give me 5 minutes to convince those people." ”

"Please."

Tang Fang got up and walked to the door, but Beard didn't know what he was going to do, so he hurriedly chased after him.

"Why are you following me...... I'm going to pee. ”

"That'...... That ...... Sprinkle together. ”

"It's kind of you stutter like that when you pee."

Beard found this sentence not funny at all, and he couldn't laugh anyway.

Five minutes later, the two returned to the conference room, and the government staff had already cleaned up the leftovers on the desks and turned on the air conditioning system to inject fresh air into the room.

Beard put Tang Fang back in place and turned on the remote video device again.

A flash of cyan streamer, Adam? Oliver's projection appears in front of the 2.

Tang Fang did not speak immediately, because he was not in a hurry, and it should be Mr. President who was in a hurry.

"How can I be sure that you're telling the truth and not a lie?"

Judging from this sentence, Adam should have convinced those around him that it was only for safety reasons to confirm the feasibility of the matter.

After all, they are all businessmen, and they are far more cautious than ordinary people when it comes to transactions.

Tang Fang smiled and said: "One, my 'Morning Star Casting' still has to gain a foothold in the Star Alliance, there is no need to completely break with the Liberal Party, in case you use military force regardless of the impact, I will be invincible with two fists and four hands." ”

"Two, 9,000 tons of zero elements were transported to the 'Hanging Garden' warehouse for sealing, if your conditions are not met, is it possible that Bilder will let me transport them away?"

Adam? Oliver was silent for a moment and said: "It is not a simple matter to mobilize 9,000 tons of zero elements, and the total amount of zero elements stored by several large military enterprises and well-known mineral dealers in 'Babylon' is only about 5,000 tons, and under the gaze of the Republicans, I cannot use the military reserves, so I need some time." ”

"A week, is it enough?"

Adam? Oliver said, "That's enough. ”

Tang Fang got up and walked towards the door, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly turned around and said, "Sue those people behind you, don't use any more crooked brains, otherwise, I won't be so good at talking next time." ”

Adam heard this, and a wry smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, because of the "kidnapping incident", the Star Alliance almost turned him upside down, who would dare to use his brains again.

If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you move, you don't dare to move at this time. (To be continued......)
