Chapter 57: The Betrayer
Since humans came to the world of Eden and once again created the commercial system, the largest hard currency minted is the Metropolitan Gold Dollar, which contains 22.5 grams of pure gold and has a denomination of 5,000 Metropolitan Dollars. Due to the large denomination, 90% of the time it is not circulated in the market, and it is only used for large transactions, commemorative coins or other special occasions.
Earlier, Mr. Feng had given Ke Junxia ten gold dollars, which was quite a big deal, but this time the box brought by Mr. Igo had two layers, and each layer was lined up with four rows of fifty gold bars totaling fifty grams. Each one was worth more than double the gold dollar, with a total value of more than a million.
Ke Junxia looked at the gold bar and muttered, "Let me guess, this matter is very tricky." ”
Mr. Igo smiled and shook his head and said, "It's not tricky at all, you just need to let go." ”
Ke Junxia said: "I don't understand what you mean. ”
Mr. Igo said, "You know what I mean. Don't you think that the case you are working on a long time ago was not wanted by you? ”
Ke Junxia thought for a while and said: "I seem to understand a little, the person who stopped the case is in a high position in the metropolis, but he is not a top figure, so after the big board of directors intervened, they adopted other methods. I'm just a little rushed to wonder, isn't Mr. Igo a representative of the Great Board? How did you accept it again...... What about accepting the commission of this opposite? ”
Mr. Igo smiled, and the smile was very meaningful, as if he was talking, as if he was saying to Ke Junxia: You were born in the metropolis, how can you not even understand this?
But Mr. Igo is still very willing to answer questions for the younger generation, he patiently explained: "In fact, the people of the metropolis are essentially businessmen, I accept the commission, it is normal to do things for others, and I am very professional, never sell the interests of the client, on the contrary, I like this kind of practice of relying on several companies in one hand, as the so-called authorities are obsessed, I stay out of the matter, just to see the pros and cons of all parties, so as to be able to find the best plan to achieve a win-win situation or a win-win situation." ”
Ke Junxia nodded and said, "That's true, then ask Mr. Igo, what kind of choice is the best choice for you to make?" ”
"Forgive me for not being able to give you advice, because you are not my client, my client is the Grand Board and another name that I cannot name," said Mr. Igo. ”
Ke Junxia thought about it again, and then said: "I understand, you will weigh the interests of the big board of directors and the client, and my interests or the interests of 405 are not among them." ”
"Yes, so you have to make all the decisions yourself," Mr. Igo said. ”
Ke Junxia hesitated for a moment and said, "I already have a choice, and I am not ready to accept this gold for the time being." ”
Mr. Igo said, "Don't you think about it? That's a lot of money. ”
Ke Junxia said: "It's not worth all my bets, and it's not enough for me to spend a lifetime." ”
Mr. Igo was about to say something, when he suddenly felt the ground shake, and suddenly his face turned pale, and then the shaking intensified, and he stood unsteadily, trying to hold on to the table to keep his balance, but his body was unbalanced, and his hands were on the tray containing the gold, and then as he fell, the gold also crackled and fell to the ground.
Mr. Igo still has a strong desire to survive, and he still didn't forget to drill under the desk after he fell to the ground, but he was dragged out from under the desk by Ke Junxia before he got down.
"I can give you money! I buy a place under the table. "It's not a loss to be an excellent professional manager, and there is a sharp reaction in this situation, but what Ke Junxia said is another thing: "You can't hide under the table in an earthquake!" ”
Ke Junxia dragged Mr. Igo to the briefcase, and then shouted, "Hold your head!" Hide your head under your knees! ”
Mr. Igo did so, and then suddenly there was darkness all around.
"What's the situation!" Mr. Igo asked.
Ke Junxia said: "It may be that the earthquake caused a power outage. ”
"I can't get it here." I don't know out of what kind of mentality, Mr. Igo said.
This is another tremor after the last strong earthquake, Ke Junxia feels a little stronger than the last time, it seems that the foundation of the metropolis is accelerating the collapse.
Mr. Igo asked Ke Junxia to turn on the emergency lights after the shaking stopped, and then his first reaction was to clean up the gold scattered on the ground, so that when the snow outside tried to come in - because the earthquake deformed the door frame, and the snow didn't push the door open, Mr. Igo immediately shouted: "Don't let her in!" It's a trade secret! ”
Although Ke Junxia thought it was funny, he still ordered as soon as possible: "We're fine, don't come in, take care of Niuniu and Mrs. Feng!" ”
Then Ke Junxia said to Mr. Igo: "If you trust me......"
Mr. Igo knew he wanted to help, but said, "Trust is one thing, but it's my job." ”
Hearing Mr. Igo say this, Ke Junxia admired him a little, so he let him finish the gold by himself.
After packing up the gold, Mr. Igo tidied up his clothes again, then looked around and said, "No, this will not work!" You have to change the office, the situation is only going to get worse, if you have a problem, the board of directors has to find someone else, and now there is a shortage of people everywhere, no, no, no. ”
Ke Junxia said: "I also wanted to find a safe place when I arrived, but the rainy season was about to begin, and the general board of directors had also issued documents, and influential departments were not allowed to go to the square to work, so as not to cause greater panic and riots." ”
Mr. Igo said: "There is no need to go to the square, the alien squadron has withdrawn from the Special Investigation Bureau, and their office area is vacant. ”
It's a good place.
The vast majority of the alien squadrons are genetically strengthened and mutants, so most of them look like monsters, which makes them encounter inconvenience everywhere in a society where ordinary humans are the mainstream, so they simply opened up an office by themselves, a large courtyard surrounded by simple wooden houses.
Originally, this place was cold in winter and hot in summer, and it was not welcomed, but as soon as the earthquake came, it immediately became a good place, and several departments of the Special Investigation Bureau quarreled over this site, and now they each forcibly occupied part of the office area.
Mr. Igo looked at Ke Junxia with a look of embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will solve it." Because it's in the interest of the big board. In addition......"
He seemed to hesitate a little, but finally made up his mind and said, "You saved me just now, and I will give you a little benefit." The first time you receive your office expenses, you will be withdrawn in gold and silver cash, but after that, this kind of preferential treatment will be gone, and the general board of directors is ready to issue a resolution to enforce the circulation of the currency of the metropolis, and the black market of exchange must be severely cracked down. I will open a list for you, and you don't have to go to collect office expenses in the future, and you will directly use the form of transfer to shop according to the trade war on the list, so you have to do a good job of shopping planning, a pencil or something, people don't trade. ”
Ke Junxia was stunned: "It's not been a few days, has the situation become so bad?" While saying this, I secretly rejoiced in my heart that most of my assets had long since become hard currency.
Mr. Igo closed the box again and said, "I have already repaid you for what you just did, so it is still the same sentence, and the rest of the choice is up to you." With that, he politely took his leave.
After Mr. Igo left, Ke Junxia also walked out of the office, and saw the dim emergency lights flashing in the lobby, leaving Lin Quan alone, so he asked, "Why didn't you go out to take refuge?" ”
Lin Quan said: "Now that the earthquake has stopped, going out to evacuate is just a psychological comfort." ”
Ke Junxia said: "Drifting snow, where did they take refuge in Niuniu?" Said that there is no meeting place. ”
"They will go near the hospital and let us know if there is a change, which is one of the reasons why I'm still here," Lin said. ”
Ke Junxia said: "Let's go find them, I still have something to tell you on the way." ”
So the two checked the power supply of the doors and windows, took the emergency equipment and left the office.
On the way to evacuate, Ke Junxia told Lin Quan the news about the funds he got from Mr. Mr. Igo, and Lin Quan said anxiously: "Then what should I do?" Can we negotiate this? After all, we do such an important job for the big board. ”
Ke Junxia shook his head and said: "Our work is not so important in the eyes of the big board, we are just a kind of proof, used to prove that the big board cares about something, so most of this matter has nothing to talk about, and even if it is discussed this time, there will still be a mandatory currency in the future." ”
Lin Quan said: "If you can try your best, it's always good to get more hard currency, but fortunately, we should get this news relatively early, and the procurement of equipment in the future can be done according to what Mr. Igo said, and I am afraid that the allowance of coconuts and other action team members can only be paid in kind." ”
Ke Junxia said: "Another thing, I think we have to start preparing evacuation tools. At the beginning, I wanted everyone to finish this order, make a lot of money, and then make a living, but now it seems that it can't be done, if the worst happens, there are more people, and the safety index will be much greater. ”
Lin Quan smiled bitterly: "The truth is that the office expenses of four thousand a day are not small, but if you want to get the evacuation tools of so many people...... It's still far from it. ”
Ke Junxia was a little annoyed: "I'm still thinking late, I should have made up my mind early." ”
Lin Quan comforted: "It's okay, I can leave with the airship of the last tree elf tribe at that time, if you want to ......" Speaking of this, Lin Quan's face was a little red, "You can go with me." ”
When she said this, she was a little afraid to look at Ke Junxia, but she didn't get a reply after the words came out, so she looked up, but found that Ke Junxia's eyes were looking at a corner of the square, she also followed Ke Junxia's gaze, but saw nothing, and then she asked Ke Junxia: "What are you looking at?" ”
Ke Junxia seemed to have just come back to his senses and said, "Oh, nothing. ”
In fact, Ke Junxia saw that Mr. Igo was talking to Hao Qiying, and handed Hao Qiying something, and Hao Qiying also accepted it.
"Is it another bribe?" Ke Junxia became suspicious.
