Chapter 48: Apple X (7)

Walter finally got up and left, he couldn't stand the whimsical train of thought.

Markov also wanted to get up, but he saw that there was too little in the world and the blow was too great, so he didn't stand up.

God of Light, how did the referee, who was wise and martial, ruthless, and cleaned up Rurik's gang in one fell swoop, make such a mistake?

What should this kind of behavior be called?

Can I call you the Faith Crusher?

If that's all you have in terms of finance, I might as well go out and sell apples.

At this moment, Konstantin walked up to him from the stage: "Young man, why, seeing you like this, you still want to stay for a while?"

"No, I'm just, I'm just ......"

Konstantin laughed and said, "Some things are not as easy as you think. ”

"Without a single supporter, what will Master Duck do?"

"How can it not? Broaden your horizons, locals can't do it, you can let outsiders in." ”

Markov was surprised: Bringing outsiders to break the existing pattern of six major companies carving up the local apple market?

Konstantin's smile was a little gloomy: "As a local governor, I can't choose a local merchant who dares to take the lead, so I can only invite outsiders to come, this taste, alas." ”

"However, such conditions ......"

"That's the condition. Strength and courage are indispensable to work under Lord Dark," Konstantin looked at the empty room and sighed, "Lorma City, the layout is still too small......"

Markov clenched his fists: "I...... Lack of money. ”

Konstantin's eyes lit up: "How much?"

"Eighty thousand pounds," Markov gritted his teeth and told the truth, "the ticket money." ”

The fire in the governor's eyes was extinguished: "That's not enough, even if you have enough money to join the plan, you won't have money to organize production." ”

"If we can sell the apples we have now...... Perhaps, you can rent me a few insulated warehouses and let me take a break, and I will ...... next month."

The Governor shook his head cruelly: "Do you want to see me go back on my word, and then the whole city growers come to block the gate of the town hall?"

Markov held his head in his hands, his heart twisted like a knife.

Yes, you and the city hall are not related, why should people favor one over the other?

Damn, damn, just a little, just a little!

Now, even survival is in question!

Markov pushed the table hard, the chair below him grinding against the wooden floor, and his fingers clenched at the tablecloth as if to scratch it out.

Finally, he got up dejectedly.

There is no return.

Now, this battlefield is not mine.

I'm going home, hurry home, and go and announce the end of the Tuscano Apple Orchard.

At least, I, the shortest-lived head of the family, have preserved the credibility inherited from my ancestors.

He began to wander again, rubbing shoulders with one of the guards without realizing it.

"Young man, young man!"

Konstantin called out repeatedly, but he didn't hear it. It wasn't until another guard grabbed him on the shoulder that he shuddered in fright: "Who! I didn't borrow from a loan shark!"

Konstantin couldn't help but laugh: "Who said you borrowed usury? Come back, young man, let's talk about cooperation." ”

"What?"

"Talk about the specifics of iApple's planned partnership – money is not an issue. ”

"Don't do that, Lord Governor, thank you for your kindness, but sympathy won't solve the problem," Markov said calmly, "I only have forty thousand on hand, not cash. If you lower the bar for me, what will the others do?

"Who said you were going to lower the bar, someone paid for your tickets," Konstantin looked down at the small note that the guard had just handed him, "and a technical consultation fee." ”

Markov was dizzy for a while, and the guards next to him hurriedly supported him.

120,000 tickets plus 100,000 consultation fees, that's 220,000 pounds!

Could it be that one of my father's best friends sent charcoal in the snow?

No, it's impossible, if I have 220,000 pounds in cash, what else do I do, and it is the best policy to take advantage of the market downturn to merge other orchards!

Which big guy would rather give up such a big injection of money than pull me, a little-known novice owner?

Looking at the stunned Markov, Konstantin smiled generously: "Your girlfriend helped you pay for it." ”

"Female ...... Girlfriend?"

"Men have times of trouble. With such a considerate and generous confidant, what kind of personality do you play? Or are you too controlling and have to be in charge alone?"

"What is this, where did I get my girlfriend......"

Konstantin said majestically: "I'll wait for you here, go and thank people first, quickly." ”

The governor spoke, but Markov did not dare to disobey, confessed, and walked back to the hall with a question mark on his head.

Then he saw a delicate black rose blooming in the middle of the hall.

Rasputin, who was smiling and smiling, was waiting there in a straight overalls, and when he saw him coming, he turned his head playfully: "It's me." ”

"You...... You...... You ......"

"Come and praise me!"

"I ...... I...... I don't borrow from loan sharks!"

"It has nothing to do with that, this is my money, I saved it myself, that's all, it's all for you!"

"You...... You...... You ......"

She clenched her fists and shouted, "Because you're a good person!"

Markov was petrified in an instant.

Someone next to him roared: "Girl, I'm also a good person!"

Rasputin smiled into squinting eyes: "Then I'll rest assured - I don't like uncle, I'm sorry!" As she spoke, she crossed her waist majestically and pointed to the conference room with one hand: "I'm going to go in and listen too!"

Markov petrified, unable to answer.

The girl is not an indecisive person, so she stepped forward decisively and hugged one of Markov's arms tightly in front of her chest: "Let's go, 220,000, it's a big bunch, there will be a sound in the water!

Markov finally came back to his soul.

He wanted to laugh, he wanted to cry, he wanted to break free, but in the end he was obediently dragged away by the girl.

O God of Light, am I cursed?

Good flat.

He was led into the conference room like a ghost, and he was led back home like a ghost.

When he racked his brains to prove to his parents that he was not cheating on money and sex, the main messenger of all this, the demon king who was hidden behind the scenes, was having a real-time video call with the other two demon kings in the secret room.

No. 1 Demon King Royce laughed: "Dark, you really have a way to make money, raising your hand is 220,000, and ten Rurik can't catch up with the strength of this search." Where did you get the technology?"

The No. 2 Demon King Dake Zhengse said: "If you don't pay, how can you get a reward? My technology is not blowing in the wind, isn't it normal to ask for money? ”

The third demon king George said: "Speaking of technology, I haven't seen you for a few months, you have made a lot of fame, can you send me a batch of slimes who can stealthily monitor the corrupt officials, I will give me a conscience price - Royce, you also bid together, this thing is easy to use, you can see clearly what color the competitor's bottoms are, and then the Luoer Chamber of Commerce will become the first chamber of commerce in the mainland in minutes." ”

"Don't give. I can't hurt you, you guy is too heavy-minded, if I give it to you, you will definitely cover up Jacques inside and out, and then become a controlling maniac, you will ruin Jacques, and Royce, your Rohr Chamber of Commerce is too fast, you are too ugly to eat, you can eat meat, but you have to give someone someone a soup, right? You are following the same path as the Drake Chamber of Commerce and the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce. ”

Royce pretended to be sad: "Oh, yes, I haven't seen you for so long, it starts with criticism, I'm so sad, it's a shame that the two of us are still working hard to add bricks and tiles to you, I sent Isis to you." ”

George laughed.

Dare to criticize in person, this is a friend.

It's too powerful, and if you're not careful, you might spoil this fragile world.

Whether it is the dynasty hegemony model or the monopoly predator domination model, it is not what they want. The two of them, one of them came across time and space and witnessed the real history, and the other suffered greatly from the expansion of capital.

The feudal era grafted technology beyond the times, and the monopoly brought by technological progress also came in advance across time and space, where will the future go, everything has become a fog, and there is no experience to follow.

Are we only trying to go back to the old path? Are the advanced technologies and advanced capital only accelerating the rate of fruit decay?

What's more, there are a bunch of careerists, big and small, who are holding the advanced technology stolen by luck, and walking on the road of death without knowing that they are playing bad in the world!

Perhaps, Dack, who is on the outside, will take a new path?

Duck said: "Royce, Petrarch's Black Holy Land, what are you going to do if you give me the truth?"

"It's all your own people, what's the point of breaking your wrists with your left and right hands - what do you think?"

"Then I'm relieved. I'm going to see how fast a city can run without constraints. ”

"By constraints......

"Devils, corrupt officials, and chambers of commerce that maliciously suppress their opponents. This experiment is too big for your full support. ”

"No problem, where's George?"

George said, "How much time do you have left?"

"Half a year at most, three months at least. The Holy See has been seized by me, but it is impossible for me to tolerate such 'misdeeds' for a long time. The poor men of Urbino are aggressive, and the traditionalist army is a mess, and if I can't produce results soon, I'm sure I'll be borrowed. ”

Royce smiled, "I'll see which one dares." ”

"Ah, thank you. But how can I casually admit defeat? I am in charge of the overall situation of Lorma, and the support will be left to you. ”

Royce patted his chest: "Don't worry." The money was told directly to Isis. ”

"It's not just about money, there are some things that you have to do with your own people, and I need high-level alchemists and mages. Isis herself can't be busy, and besides, she is a representative of the Rohr Chamber of Commerce, and I don't want to expose my relationship with the Chamber of Commerce for the time being. ”

George said, "How about Georgina and Shaqi. ”

Duck was overjoyed: "Really, ahahaha, how are you willing to do it?"

"Georgina fought a few battles with Ramos and Riley, winning and losing half of the game, and her temper was much betterβ€”she knew that everyone was letting her; It will take about three to five days for them to go through the teleportation array to you. ”

"Okay, great. The apple core has a special person to manage and maintain. ”

"Apple core?"

"I created a weakened version of the Mind Hive, added the data collected by everyone to it, used it to generate various optimized daily production techniques, and then sold 100,000 technologies. Because the first deal was related to Apple, I gave it the code name Apple Cores. ”

George frowned: "There is a way to make money, but aren't you afraid of repeating the mistakes of Jacques?"

"I just wanted to make up for my mistakes. The people of Urbino cheated the Psychic Hive technique from Georgina and it hasn't come up until now, which is a huge hidden danger. ”

"Show a weakened version of the soul hive and lure the snake out of the hole?"

Duck smiled brightly: "Who made me the head of the Inquisition? It is my job to clean up heresy! ”

Royce laughed: "I said why do you want high-level alchemists and mages, and bodyguards, right?"

George also said: "Also, he also led the Black Holy Land in, as long as he understands the flow of high-level alchemy materials, he can roughly know where the enemy's hidden stakes are hidden - this guy is no longer the hot-blooded and simple little policeman he was at the beginning!"
