Chapter 192: The Old Man's Mind
I saw Stark walk to the side of the bed and press a hidden mechanism, feeling that this old man also has a secret room, which is similar to the secret room behind the seat of General Ender's general's apartment, and sure enough, a small door instantly opened on the tightly knit wall next to him, Stark turned around and beckoned to Jeffs and Fowy: "Come in."

His voice was soft and low, as if he was on guard against something.
Suspicious, Fowei and Jeffs walked into the secret room, and after the secret door was closed, Old Man Stark's voice was really louder, and he explained to Fowy and Jeffs: "On this satellite, there are a lot of Quake Industries eyeliner, some I know, some I don't know. ”
Fowe and Jeffs both nodded, expressing their understanding of Stark's strange behavior, especially Jeffs, who was particularly heartwarming, and Grandpa's series of actions were not just for the sake of his Jeffs' safety?
"Grandpa, you... Don't you blame me? Jeffs asked guiltily.
Stark was teary-eyed again, shaking his head vigorously, how could he have the heart to blame? For the old man, isn't it the best gift that God can give to him that Jeffs, the only descendant of the Shadow Artist family, can appear in front of him safely?
"Kid, don't blame me... Wasn't that what I insisted on sending you to prison back then? As for the desire to steal, it's also because of the bloodline of the Shadow Hand family! Stark closed his eyes lightly and said, "But I had to send you to prison with my own hands, all these years..."
"I know... Grandfather... I understand all of this..."Jeffs muttered, the only two remaining members of the Shadow Hand family, incognito, did not even dare to reveal the huge amount of wealth accumulated by the family over the years, in order to break the so-called "curse of the Shadow Hand Family".
People with the bloodline of Shadow Hands will be punished for stealing too much, which has been fulfilled every time for hundreds of years, and the reason why Stark lives so simple is not unrelated to this inexplicable curse, he believes that as long as he washes his hands, stops stealing, does more good deeds, and is less greedy for pleasure, his grandson Jeffs will have a safe life.
Now that Jeffs has returned safely, Stark is even more convinced that he has broken the family curse.
Listening to Jeffs's whisper of understanding, Stark's eyes turned red again, this old man is really, he is so emotional three times and twice, he cries at every turn, and Fuwei, who has a low tear point, can't stand it, which is also a bit too much.
Seeing that his grandfather was about to be emotional again, Jeffs quickly changed the topic, pointed at Fuwei and said, "Grandpa, this is Fuwei. Alexander, he is Aurelia. Alexander's grandson, of whom I am now a follower, we seek to live on the Ifrit Nebula. ”
"Thank you, young man!" Stark obviously knows that Jeffs' escape from prison is due to Fowy's relationship, he is a person who cares about Pegasus current affairs, and of course he also knows that Foves is the members of the Ifrit Rangers, and although the "Jeffs' Chick" is not as famous as the other ships of the Ranger Regiment, the bounty is also 300,000 Star Coins.
"Young man, since you are a ranger group, you must be doing chivalrous deeds on weekdays, and I am very happy that Jeffs can follow someone like you!" Stark politely shook Fowy's hand, which was soft, as if it had a pair of pads in the palm of his hand.
Fu Wei said embarrassedly: "Where... You've won a prize! ”
But I heard Jeffs interject: "Grandpa, don't be deceived by his appearance, this guy has three characteristics, low tears, low laughter, and picking." ”
"Uh... Hahaha! Stark actually laughed out loud because of this introduction, and he couldn't stop laughing, Fu Wei stared coldly at the old man's face with tears in his eyes, and said in his heart, this old man is also low in tears and low in laughter.
I just don't know if he picks it or not, what if he picks it like himself? Fowei had planned to purchase a batch of starship wreckage from him at a low price, and Jeffs was his own grandson, so his elbow would definitely not turn to his side, which was really troublesome.
After the three of them finished whispering, they walked out of the secret room, Stark said that he wanted to lead Fowy and Jeffs around the city, visit, and by the way, also go to the major satellite factories to see, Stark seems to be very proud and proud of the factory satellites he built with his own hands, no matter where he goes, he will introduce everywhere, and after the introduction, he can accurately tell the story that has happened.
Fu Wei secretly thought in his heart, this old man has a good memory!
During the conversation, Fowei learned that Stark is now a member of the Supreme Council of the Scavenger faction Pegasus, and his weight among the entire Scavengers is very important.
So, on the side of the portamel boulevard in Stark City, Fowe proposed to Stark the purpose of his and Jeffs' trip:
"Old man, this time we are here with a mission, and we need a batch of starship wreckage."
"Let me guess," Stark asked, shrugging the fat off his face, "What are you going to make?" ”
Fu Wei nodded.
Along the way, Stark also listened to Jeffs recount how well he took care of him, and the old man was very grateful, and he immediately patted his chest and said that Fuwy's request was for him to contact a few scavenging stations and two medium-sized cargo ships.
He beckoned to one of the scavenger guards patrolling the factory portroom avenue, who approached at a brisk trot, and Stark commanded, "Go get the two captains of the Third Cargo Fleet, have them fill them with a class of compression, and then come to Stark City, and wait for me at my house." ”
"Yes! Your Excellency! ”
The guards led the way away, and Stark winked at Fowe and Jeffs, and said, "They'll be here for a few hours, and I'll take you two to visit the other factories on this satellite!" We'll go to the nearest one, not far away! ”
Stark was keen to introduce his little planet, and they took a small shuttle to a nearby fully automated factory floor, where Fowy saw a large number of starship wrecks being transported to the compression port, where they were mechanically compressed before being loaded onto ships for transfer to other factories.
Stark pointed to the various types of cargo ships that came and went to dock and leave, and said: "The wreckage of the starship collected by the scavengers is transported here for compression, which is the first process, the second is cutting and sorting, the third is recasting, and the fourth and last is the processing of semi-finished products." ”
"Waste pickers can't make a fortune just by scavenging, and converting the wreckage of the starship into metal blocks, metal plates and other infrastructure materials is the most profitable, but these four processes, I only charge a small amount of processing fees, and give the maximum profit to the waste pickers, I think this is very good, everyone makes money, and my satellite can slowly become prosperous;
If I keep the other scavengers' margins low, the satellite will be dead, won't it? ”
Stark kept introducing, he didn't want to miss a single detail, as if he was afraid that Foway and Jeffs wouldn't understand, that look, that tone, like a good toy, a little friend who was introducing to his friends.
A few hours just like that, in Stark's introduction, passed.
…
After touring the nooks and crannies of the iconic factory, the trio took the shuttle back to Stark City, where the captains of the two city-class cargo ships were already waiting in front of the Star Lord's residence, dressed in the traditional garb of the Urdu people, a light pure linen robe and a belt around their waists.
Don't underestimate this kind of clothing, pure plant clothing, very expensive in the Green Sky Sky, only the rich can afford to wear it, most of the Star Sky people wear artificial imitation pseudo-biological material clothing.
The two captains saluted Stark respectfully, and it seemed that they respected and admired Mr. Stark.
"Come in." Stark took the lead and walked in, and the four people behind him immediately followed, and after entering the living room of Mr. Stark's mansion, he gave a brief order to the two captains: "From this day forward, you two, as well as your cargo ship and crew, do not follow me anymore, you are the followers of this Ural young man from this day forward." ”
"Yes, Mr. Stark!" The two captains did not hesitate to face Fuwei, immediately knelt down on one knee, and swore allegiance.
Fu Wei was most afraid of this sudden style of painting, and the bargaining terms he had prepared in advance were choked back into his stomach, he quickly helped the two captains, turned his head, and said with a cheap look: "Old man, how embarrassing is this... How can I accept this! ”
"I'm the one who should say I'm sorry." Stark grabbed Fuwei's left hand with both hands and said, "The city-class cargo ship you drove when you came has been filled with a whole cargo ship of scrap metal reprocessed semi-finished products, plus two fully loaded city-class cargo ships, young man, I think it should be able to meet your procurement needs this time, right?" ”
"Yes, yes! Oh, that's so embarrassing..."Fu Wei hurriedly said, as if he was afraid that Stark would regret it, but Fu Wei also knew that the old man had given him these things, and these people were also to make Fu Wei understand how important Jeffs was to him.
"Oh, a little heart, you must accept it-!" Stark said to Fowy in a long voice.
The value of things is counted, but the 16 crew members on the two cargo ships are priceless, and Fu Wei is sure that these two captains and their 14 crew members are not only excellent cargo teams, but also first-class business people.
This trip made a lot of money! The old man was so generous, he gave Fuwei ships and goods worth tens of millions of star coins in one go, and also gave away 16 priceless talents! Fu Wei didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said to Jeffs in front of the old man: "These two city-level cargo ships are under your management, Jeffs, your team has grown again!" ”
