Chapter 428: The Great Hidden Danger
"Deal." Tang Fang did not hesitate, and said very simply.
Corey? Christian's offer was close to his psychological expectations, considering that there were still many places to use the power of the "Rover Technology Complex" in the future, he did not go to the arms dealers of the Charles Federation to inquire about it, but directly agreed, which may not be what a qualified businessman should do, of course...... He wasn't a businessman at all.
"So happily decided?"
Corey? Christian's left eyelid twitched twice, and the smile on his lips was a little fake, not that he did it on purpose, but it was really Tang Fang's promise that was a little too crisp and couldn't adapt to it for a while.
In terms of the quotation of the manufacturing process of land vehicles, he raised it a little, but the quotation of the power armor manufacturing process was slightly lowered, in fact, if Tang Fang worked harder, the price of the three power armor manufacturing processes would not be a big problem to rise by 1 billion 800 million.
Corey? The unnatural expression on Christian's face lasted less than a breath before it was replaced by a kind smile that was full of spring blossoms and pink and willow green.
He thought that Tang Fang hadn't noticed, but in fact, the captain was like a mirror in his heart, just drinking coffee, drinking slowly, slowly, without wasting a single drop.
"Alright, let's talk about another deal."
In a word, Corey? Christian was stunned, the spring flowers and the peach and willow green were fixed on his face, like a landscape painting hanging in an empty house, full of freehand on the inside, but cold and lonely on the outside.
After taking the PDA and sliding a few times, Tang Fang handed it back to the merchant again, but unfortunately the coffee was already empty, so he could only turn the handle absentmindedly, and looked at Old Corey without a glance.
The merchant had forgotten to call for White's refill, and his eyes were glued to the PDA screen. His expression is attentive, as if he is admiring an abstract painting by Picasso.
12 Epsilon Ruins...... There are 12 Epsilon Ruins, and their models rotate around the screen, one in two or three circles...... Corey? Christian felt as if a heart had been sliced into a spinning top, spinning and spinning and spinning and spinning with them...... until you get your head spinning.
Although in terms of value, 12 Epsilon Relics are not worth the manufacturing process of 3 power armors. But in fact, this belongs to two completely different propositions, power armor is an existing technology, but the research on the ruins of the Epsilon has an element of gambling in it, in case a certain technology contained in it is cracked by humans, it is not a billion tens of billions of can match, if it is a technology related to aerospace technology, hundreds of billions of trillions are not enough to measure, it is a real priceless treasure.
"I've always been used to being straightforward." Tang Fang stopped playing with the cup. After a slight pause, his eyes looked at the soft glow of the artificial sun outside the window: "I plan to take out 10 of them for auction, and as for the remaining 2 pieces, they will be sold to the 'Rover Technology Consortium' at 85% off the average price after the auction." ”
Corey? Christian was awakened by his words, and the joy in his eyes immediately changed: "What should I do?" ”
"It's simple, you just need to do two things for me......"
After a moment, Old Corey frowned and looked at Tang Fang for a while, and suddenly grinned: "Deal." ”
"In that case. Then I'll wait for your news. Tang Fang got up and took his leave.
"Brother Tang, you don't give me face. Don't notify before you come, and get up and leave after you come? Don't even have time for a light meal? If this matter is going to get out, who will dare to talk to us 'wanderers' about business in the future, maybe poke my backbone and scold me for being stingy." ”
"Hehe, Brother Cory, I got my kindness. There are really other things to do, otherwise, I must have a few drinks with you. Tang Fang tidied up his clothes, and walked out the door as he spoke.
"You're new to Babylon. What can't we talk about tomorrow? "Corey? Christian clasped his hand tightly and continued to be polite.
"Don't worry, I'll have Grant sign a contract with you in a moment." Tang Fang didn't want to continue the unnutritious conversation with him, so he simply opened the skylight and said bright words to his heart.
Corey? Christian was still smiling, still so kind, only the slightly shaking little thumb of his left hand showed that his mood was not as calm as it seemed, he found that he couldn't see through the young boy opposite, it was undeniable that the young man was very smart, and those eyes that seemed to be uninterested in anything seemed to have some kind of magic that could penetrate people's hearts, and even a business veteran like him stood in front of this guy, and he had a feeling of being stripped naked.
But it's such a smart, such a discerning guy, sometimes what he does, but what he says is incomprehensible, just like the sentence just now, but anyone who has a city government will never say it so thoroughly and decisively, politeness is always the only rule of the mall, even if there is a knife hidden behind the smile.
He slowly withdrew his right hand, pausing at the hem of his coat, then retracting it before hanging down at the waistband of his trousers.
Tang Fang smiled, waved his hand, pushed open the door, and walked out first.
White? Davide and the female secretary stood up from behind the outer desk, walked to the side, and bowed slightly to watch the four of them walk by.
……
Corey? Christian was sent to the hall downstairs, and the receptionist at the front desk had a pair of beautiful eyes without blinking, looking at Tang Fang with an indifferent expression, and then at the smiling manager behind her, her face showed a trace of doubt, she always felt that the old Corey's smile was a little insincere.
Just when the four of Tang Fang walked to the door, the elevator door opened, White? Davide ran out panting, with a beautifully shaped square box in his arms, and caught up with the people in front of him in a few steps, stuffing the gift box into Tang Fang's arms.
"A little heart, I hope Brother Tang will accept it." Old Corey explained.
Casually handed the gift box to Tang Lin for safekeeping, Tang Fang said: "Thank you", lowered his body and sat on a maglev car provided by the "Rover Technology Consortium" for him to travel, and the veteran in front of him stepped on the accelerator, and the car slowly drove towards the street.
What's inside the gift box, you don't have to think about it to know, like Corey? A character like Christian, needless to say, has a strong eyesight?
…………
Seeing the car disappear from view, the smile on the corner of Old Corey's mouth slowly converged like the sea water at low tide, his eyebrows arched slightly, and the word "Chuan" was squeezed out on his forehead.
"Manager, there are so many idle cars in the parking lot. Why would you give him your car? "White? Davide leaned closer to Old Corey, and after only a dozen seconds, his breathing was relieved by shortness of breath.
"My car is good!"
Corey? Christian turned and walked back down the hall, leaving White? Davide stood alone in the sunlight and looked at the familiar street corner, silent.
Rutherford's Don didn't ask, White? Davide didn't mention it. The hostess did not say.
…………
Soon after the car drove out of the area where the munitions company was located, Grant sent a communication, saying that a qiē had been done, and according to the address provided by the deputy captain, several people drove to a 5-star hotel with the same name as Venice, a water town in the age of the earth, in the center of the business district, and several people parked the car and walked into the hotel lobby.
Grant took Roy and Yingluo to meet them, and reported the situation as he walked: "The room has been opened." At the back of the hotel, the structure of a detached house. ”
"Hmm." Tang Fang nodded.
Grant continued to report: "I went to the mineral resources trading area, the situation is very bad, the prices of iridium-containing minerals and cesium-containing minerals are still rising, several large traders have no inventory in their hands, it is said that some mining companies have just dug out the minerals, and some traders go directly to the mining area to pull away at extremely high prices, and the mining companies have even saved freight." ”
"Hmm." Tang Fang continued to nod. His face became more and more gloomy.
The hostile forces hiding in the darkness have disrupted the entire mineral market, and the traders who rushed directly to the resource star to buy minerals came from all over the Star Alliance. Even speculators from sovereign states such as the Charles Federation, the United Kingdom of Tulanx, and the Monya Empire are determined to make a fortune.
Merchants are profit-seeking, and these people don't care if this move will cause trouble for the "Morning Star Minting".
For forces like the "Ogre" Pirates, he can use force to make an example of the monkeys, because they are bandits and are not protected by the laws of the Star Alliance. But now the troublemaker belongs to a commercial organization and has a legal identity, and he doesn't want to tear up his face with the Star Alliance government at the moment.
"By the way, I've already converted those Monya coins into Huàn Stars Coins in full and deposited them into the account of 'Morning Star Minting'. A total of 235 million. ”
"How much money do you have left on your account?"
"More than 600 million ......"
The sensor door at the back of the hotel opened, a breeze on his cheeks, and the sound of running water could be heard in the distance.
The small bridge is lying on the rainbow, full of flowers, and a bluestone path winds far away, and there is a beautiful garden at the end of the sight.
"It deserves to be called the 'Hanging Garden'!" Tang Fang sincerely admired.
In this city full of lights, technology and steel, there is such a pleasant place, although it is a bit contrived.
"Grant, later on, you and Tang Lin will go to the 'Rover Technology Consortium' branch in 'Babylon' to complete the transaction, and by the way, inquire about the situation of 'Zhiyuanxing'."
"Got it."
…………
A few minutes later, Tang Fang stood outside the courtyard of the villa, looking at the two-story building with a bit of oriental flavor and smiling silently, it seemed that Grant had put a lot of thought into it, and the deputy captain could be compared to Claire in terms of carefulness.
"Perhaps...... He was a woman in his last life. Tang Fang thought.
Bluestone Ying Road, vines hang low, more than one person high fence crawling some unknown flowers and plants, exude a refreshing fragrance, through the courtyard gate fence pores to look inside, half-open floor-to-ceiling windows behind the white curtain fluttering, under the eaves from the wind chimes jingling.
It is a pity that there are flowers and grasses, small bridges and flowing waters, but there are no bees and butterflies flying, insects and birds chirping.
The captain knows that this is really difficult for some strong people, and it is extremely rare for "Venice" to occupy such a large piece of land in such a place where every inch of land is at a premium, and to open up the current garden scenery.
Looking at the 200-meter-away western villa complex, Grant swiped the magnetic card on the security device outside the courtyard gate, and with a soft "click", the courtyard door opened inward, and several mermaids walked in.
The smooth grass, the bluestone pavement around the eaves, the small purple-red flowers dotted among the tender greens, and the sparkling water waves, the crystal clear swimming pool at a glance makes people feel like they have lost their troubles and returned to tranquility.
The appearance of the villa is not pure oriental style, but a mix of Chinese and Western, mainly Western, supplemented by oriental elements, which looks more elegant and fresh.
The layout of the room was lovely. There is not much difference from the general home furnishings, the details of the decoration are in place, and the sofa, chair, dining table and so on are aimed at comfort. The number of bedrooms in the whole villa is 11, and there are also special rooms such as study room, entertainment room, and steam room.
If he lived in such a place before crossing over, Tang Fang's first reaction would definitely be to cover his pockets and secretly calculate how much money he had brought. How many days can he live, can he afford such a high cost, but now, he naturally won't worry about it anymore, not because he feels rich and rich, but because he doesn't have to worry about it at all, and Grant is in charge.
He walked over to the living room couch and sat down, picking up the multi-purpose PDA on the coffee table that could remotely control most of the villa's electronic devices. Open the 42-inch monitor opposite, connect to the mineral resources trading center, and filter out the price chart of iridium-containing minerals and cesium-containing minerals for half a month, silent, I don't know what I want to write.
Grant and Tang Lin inspected the villa before and after, and after confirming that there were no potential safety hazards, they arranged the occupants according to the location of the bedroom, and then came to the front hall to bid farewell to Tang Fang. Going out to catch Corey? Christian's luxury car went to the office building of the "Rover Technology Consortium" for a series of follow-up work such as inspection, trading, and transfer.
Aros went back to his room early to rest. Hausen dragged Roy to hang out, but Yingluo stayed behind, brewed a cup of fresh coffee for Tang Fang, and sat quietly on the sofa, looking at the side face of the captain with curiosity.
"What? Do I have flowers on my face? ”
Yingluo shook her head, her gaze lowered slightly. Looking at the steaming water vapor at the mouth of the coffee cup, Qing Xù looked a little depressed: "Brother Tang, do you know...... Your side face is a bit like my dad. ”
"Homesick?"
Tang Fang looked at Yingluo's eyebrows with a thick sorrow that could not be dissolved, sighed softly, and the spoon used to stir the coffee in his hand shook a little slower. Thinking about it carefully, it has been a few months since leaving the Megal star system, although Linglong and Yingluo have completely integrated into the big family of the Morningstar, but after all, they are still young, and they used to be in the Morningstar.
"Well, sort of."
Yingluo nodded, not hiding her thoughts. To be honest, when she saw the captain for the second time, she was more or less afraid, repulsed, and even complained—and so on, after all, if he could take in the sisters during the bloody time, he would not have to endure the suffering that followed.
Later, after experiencing the Battle of Lector Sea, the Battle of Lokia, and the Battle of Kristel, she gradually understood, don't look at the captain's hippie smiling face all day long, lazy to be distinctive, lazy to be lazy, in fact, he thinks more than anyone else, he carries the life of the Morning Star No. 200 on his shoulders, this courage is very heavy, heavier than the mountains, so he is so careful with every step forward, looking forward and backward.
Choice, always accompanied by sacrifice, just like her now, if she is asked to choose between "going home" or "staying", she really doesn't know what to do, maybe escape is the best choice, because only in this way there is no dilemma.
Tang Fang was silent for a while, picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, feeling a little different from the taste he had just drunk, the fragrance was not reduced, but there was a faint bitterness, like a tangled girl's heart.
"It's time to fulfill the promise and send you ......"
"Yikes! I forgot to put sugar. Yingluo interrupted him, hurriedly stood up, ran into the kitchen with a cigarette, and only walked out with a small bag of white sugar after about half a minute, sat back on the sofa, gently tore a hole, and slowly poured it into the coffee cup that was not too hot.
In fact, Tang Fang's sense of taste is very sensitive, and he knows one thing very well, the coffee has been sweetened before it is served, although it is not much.
He glanced deeply at Yingluo, the girl's facial expression was natural, but the slight light in her eyes betrayed her innermost thoughts.
Tang Fang did not continue.
He changed the subject: "Yingluo, Claire just sent a message saying that it is not far from the hotel, you can go and pick them up at the door." ”
The girl was worried about her heart, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward, Tang Fang's words seemed to be the first ray of sunshine from the sky when the clouds dissipated, Yingluo smiled, and simply responded: "Hey! Pushing the sweetened coffee in front of Tang, he opened the door and walked out of the room, "tapping" along the bluestone path, and gradually moving away.
Tang Fang took a sip of the coffee cup, and couldn't help frowning, there was too much sugar in it!
…………
With a small amount of effort, a chaotic footsteps sounded from far and near, mixed with Tang Yun's scolding.
"Bai Hao, raise your shoulders higher, and see how I clean you up when things fall to the ground!"
"Churchill, don't look around me, be careful, the box is going to fall!"
“……”
Tang Fang suddenly discovered a heavy safety hazard, Zhou Ai is not there, who will take care of Xiao Nizi?
"Bang...... Smack...... Learn about Suosuo...... Click. ”
When he was stunned, the door opened, and Tang Yun, Churchill, Bai Hao, Claire and others walked in.
He looked back, his expression became a little stunned, he thought that Tang Yun would definitely go out to buy a lot this time, which could be guessed from her previous words of scolding Bai Hao and Churchill, however, the facts were diametrically opposite, Churchill and Bai Hao were indeed called by her as humanoid coolies, but there were not many things.
"Could it be that this little girl has become sensible?" Tang Fang shook his head, it shouldn't be. (To be continued......)
