Chapter Seventy-One: I Met an Old Acquaintance

In the secret room of the ancient zoo, Ma Ping'an was also full of smiles.

Just now, the old man checked the information of the Tiger and found that it was a player sent by a weapon manufacturer, and the name of the weapon manufacturer was also very familiar, DIY mecha research and development center.

Ma Ping'an, who was already very interested in them, hurriedly asked the old man to act as a hacker again, carefully investigated the financial situation of the company, and came to the conclusion that it was 'very, very, very, very bad'.

Of course, as the saying goes, 'a skinny camel is bigger than a horse'.

As a manufacturer of mechas, even if it is on the verge of bankruptcy, the necessary instruments alone are already sky-high.

If you really want to buy them, you have to contact Jian Shen and let him figure out a way.

Now the important thing is that if you get some useful information out of their mouths, you can deal with the emperor...

Although it can be regarded as good news, in the DIY mecha research and development center, the faces of the three people are still not much better.

This time, they had spent all their savings by using Tiger to participate in the Mecha Championship, and they had already achieved their goal as long as they reached the quarterfinals in the competition.

You must know that in the quarterfinals of the preliminary round of the New Magic Capital last year, every mecha is worth hundreds of millions of high-end goods.

The old man's name is antique, and he used to be in the agent sales business of weapon spare parts, and he is familiar with some large manufacturers, and he has also saved hundreds of millions of family properties over the past few decades.

I've been rolling in this industry for a long time, and I've long been hot about the huge profits of those machine manufacturers, and since I met the chief engineer Xiong, my heart has come alive, so I put all my belongings into it and opened this mecha research and development center.

It didn't go well at first.

This Chief Engineer Xiong is worthy of being a senior intellectual from the headquarters of the alliance, from machine purchase to raw material procurement, from personnel recruitment to production process, one hand and one foot, it is very profitable, and the trial production has also been successfully started, and everything is still successful.

But what I didn't expect was.

Regardless of whether it is an antique or Chief Engineer Xiong, both of them have no experience in selling mechas, and the investment in equipment and materials required for the production of mecha is huge.

The old man's hundreds of millions of family assets were quickly spent, and when it was time to officially produce them, there were only a few million left.

The strength of those big manufacturers is not at all what they can resist, and the remaining millions, if advertised, it is estimated that they can't even splash a few flowers, and they will be drowned in the overwhelming propaganda of others, so the sales of products have not been able to rise.

The R&D center has been struggling between closure and hard maintenance for nearly a year, and in recent months, the loans secured by the plant and equipment have been almost gone.

The old man was really unruly, and suddenly remembered that his son was a good mecha pilot, and he was ruthless and used all the money to produce this tiger.

Then he scraped together some money to sign up for the Mecha Championship, hoping to help his factory become famous through the competition.

Judging from the videos of previous competitions, although it is a luxury to win the championship with Tiger's performance, it is still a little certain to enter the quarterfinals.

After all, due to the tight competition, the Mecha Championship is not only about the merits of the mecha, nor is it just the level of the driver, but also the efficiency of logistics and maintenance.

And they have a mecha factory, as long as the mecha is not too traumatized, some small problems can be solved almost overnight, compared to other players, this aspect has an innate advantage.

But what I didn't expect was that after the group successfully qualified, I met the eccentric emperor in the top 56, the opponent was unharmed, but he was fatally killed by a shot and lost in a daze.

Originally, how could a mecha that could enter the top 56 be worth a high price of tens of millions, so it was already a sure profit.

But the worst thing is that first, in the round of 56, Tiger was beaten too hard, and even his outstanding performance in the group stage was discounted.

Second, the front and rear breastplates of the entire mecha have all been pierced, and several systems have been affected, if they all want to be repaired, at least hundreds of thousands of dollars will have to be spent, where will they find the money when their pockets are empty?

While he was sighing, the old man's son, the dark-skinned young man Gu Qu, opened his mouth and asked, "Dad, how much is the customer willing to pay this time?" ”

"He hasn't said yet, he just said that he has to see the goods first!"

The old man smiled bitterly, pointed to the Tiger with a big hole in his chest and said, "But look at this, what price can be sold, it would be good to have an estimate of three or four million, alas, it can be counted as a day." ”

Chief Engineer Xiong is also a solid eye, but when he heard this, he stopped doing it: "No, no, this mecha uses the most advanced system, the most high-grade materials, and the cost alone is about five million, so cheap, don't sell it!" ”

"If I hadn't been dragged into the water by you, would I have been able to get to this point..."The antique glanced at him helplessly, and cursed in his heart.

But after all, he knows that people still have real skills, and if he wants to turn over in the future, he has to rely on him, and he can't be offended.

I could only sigh and say: "Chief Engineer Xiong, now we are at the end of our rope, and a loan from the bank is about to expire."

If you can sell it, with a turnover of several million, maybe you can get some more work, then there is still a way to live, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to endure it this month. ”

Chief Engineer Xiong thought about it and knew that what the old man said was also the truth, so he didn't say anything more.

At this time, the old man's communicator rang again, and after it was connected, the old man said a few words, and then waved his hand and said, "Let's go, the customer has arrived, let's go to the door to pick it up." ”

Outside the door, Ma Ping'an, the old man, and Hu Sizheng were looking at this DIY mecha research and development center.

According to the old man's analysis in the group stage, the performance of that Tiger is not bad, at least above those forcibly changed Warring States.

The technical level of this mecha manufacturer should be considered first-class, but I don't know why it is so miserable.

After learning that this factory was in the new magic capital, Ma Ping'an's heart suddenly became hot, and he saw that it was still early, so he came directly to the door.

He didn't understand technical things, so he pulled the old man over with nonsense and thoughts.

At this time, looking at the brand-new factories that have obviously not been completed for a long time and the clean ground inside the gate, Ma Ping'an has made up his mind to take it over.

Although this is a bit of a 'take advantage of your illness and kill you', from another point of view, it can be regarded as a friendly helping hand to some enterprises that are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Ma Ping'an has already checked that this DIY mecha research and development center has a loan of tens of millions due at the end of the month, and depending on their situation, they can't afford to pay it back anyway.

"Listening to the boss's tone, that Tiger was designed by one person, and I don't know what kind of character that designer is... Probably a talent, right? ”

Just thinking about it, a group of three generations of old, middle and light came out of the door of a factory in the middle.

Ma Ping'an sorted out the smile on his face, and was about to catch up, but found that there seemed to be no one around him, turned his head to look, and found that the old man had run more than ten meters away.

Ma Ping'an was suddenly very strange, but with his brain, this slightest doubt was broken in a few seconds: "Damn, there must be a guy the old man knows among these three people!" This old boy is afraid that his identity will be revealed, so..."

But thinking about it, for a while, Ma Ping'an was also hesitating whether to pull the old man down.

If the identity of the old man is really inconvenient for outsiders to know, if he insists on exposing it, I am afraid that there will be real trouble.

But Ma Ping'an wants to know the true details of the old man, but this is also an opportunity.

was hesitating, but saw that among the three people opposite, a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses looked at the old man's back and was stunned for a moment, and then a joyful smile appeared on his face, and he ran over.

While running, he shouted, "Teacher! Teacher, don't go, I'm Xiao Xiong, your student Xiong Wei..."

The old man seemed to be deaf, still running all the way with his head down, and soon fled to the car, and as soon as he closed the door, he wanted to drive.

Ma Ping'an looked at the middle-aged man, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, took out a car key from his pocket, and pressed it on the car.

The off-road vehicle that had been seized from the rhinoceros made a soft 'beep' sound, and the four doors were locked.

Ma Ping'an walked over in a good time, knocked on the car window, and said, "Uncle, you don't even take the key, how can you drive?" ”

He observed the middle-aged man at this time, and he could conclude that this person was absolutely harmless to the old man, so he helped him.

At this time, the middle-aged man had already run behind Ma Ping'an, hurriedly squeezed Ma Ping'an away, leaned at the window and looked at the frightened old man again, tears and snot came down, and he whimpered and said, "Woo... Teacher, it's me, Little Bear! ”

The old man glared at Ma Ping'an viciously in the car, sat still for a while, and finally sighed helplessly and opened the door.

Before he could get out of the car, the middle-aged man pounced on him, hugged his thighs and cried, and kept shouting: "My brothers and I have been looking for you for more than ten years... Whining... I've finally found you..."

The old man patted him lightly on the shoulder and said, "Back then... And then you all left? ”

The middle-aged man stretched out his sleeve to wipe his tears, raised his head and said, "Teacher... After you're gone, we're all gone, but even if they... They... Don't leave us behind..."

The old man smiled bitterly: "You can forget it, I know so much, if you don't go secretly, you can go away..."

Speaking of this, the old man looked at a few beside him, immediately closed his mouth, touched the head of the chief engineer and said, "Little guy, don't be like this, get up, look, let others see the jokes..."

Although the chief engineer Xiong was wearing a pair of glasses, his body was very burly, and he was raunchy, and his beard was scummy.

At this time, the antique and the ancient Qu plus Hu Si were already dumbfounded, how did a very good customer meet suddenly become this virtue, but since he couldn't figure out the situation, he could only stand next to him.

Ma Ping'an has already come back to his senses.

It seems that this old man was also a character somewhere more than ten years ago, and then something happened and left there.

The middle-aged man was the apprentice he brought back then, and it seems that there was more than one.

These people had a deep relationship with the old man, and after the old man left, they all left the place and looked for the old man everywhere.

But there has been no news for more than ten years, and when I suddenly see it today, I will be so out of shape.

The chief engineer Xiong was also obedient, wiped his tears again, and finally stood up straight.

The old man looked at Ma Ping'an helplessly, and conveyed a message with his eyes - don't ask much, I'll tell you later.

Then he jumped out of the car and said to Chief Engineer Xiong: "Well, let me introduce, this is your teacher and my boss, Pentax. Horse, where have you been all this time?

This DIY mecha development center can't be made by you, right? ”

"Teacher, your boss?"

The chief engineer Xiong suddenly looked respectful, bowed firmly to Ma Ping'an, and then pointed to the antique and said: "Teacher, I also eat casually, well, this is my boss, Mr. Antique..."

The antique found a chance to speak, he was also a character of Cheng Jing, and he was shocked just now, but at this time, his face was calm as usual, and he walked up with a smile.

First stretched out his hand and shook the old man: "You are our teacher of Chief Engineer Xiong, rude and rude..."

Then he turned around and smiled at Ma Ping'an: "Pentax. Mr. Ma is the one who contacted me earlier, right?

Alas, you see, what a coincidence, we just met and we became a family, haha, now everything is easy to say!

Well, why don't we go in first and talk about it in detail? ”

Ma Ping'an looked at him, at the chief engineer Xiong, and then at the old man and the sign of the 'DIY Mecha R&D Center' beside him, with a smile on his face and nodded.
