Chapter 153: A Chance Encounter
In October 2029, Ymir came to the most prosperous street in the moon city, today is the scheduled time for the second batch of genetic adjustment quotas of the East Galaxy Company, and the bottom floor of a 150-meter-high building is full of people, lined up in a queue that stretches for several streets, the number is far more than 1,000, just because, the places that fail the physical examination will be transferred to the people behind, so that the latecomers will have a fluke mentality.
"Boss, are you really going to line up in person?" Several bodyguards standing in the back, and even the general manager of Archaeopteryx's lunar branch, appeared in front of him and dissuaded him.
Ymir is nearly 80 years old, but because of the longevity pills, his cells have changed, and his appearance gives the impression that he is only 50 years old.
"Of course, don't you think it's a funny thing?" The older people get, the less they can afford to be old, and Ymir doesn't feel anything special at all.
"You have also seen that in my old age, I still have the opportunity to witness such a magnificent era, if I look at it calmly like this, I will not be me!"
Ymir was quite stubborn, and seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, a bodyguard followed behind and inserted into the team, but the bodyguard did not have so many merits, and the merit of 30,000 was the lowest price offered by the East Galaxy Company so far, and even so, it had to be the earliest and best batch of immigrants to be able to bear it.
There are still 15 hours, that is, the next day at 9 o'clock to officially start, the hope of the people behind to see is slim, no longer queue, the queue is gradually fixed, I see some people leisurely listening to music, some ordering takeout, anyway, no one thinks that the robot that plugs in the queue will snatch their place.
Just like Cao Chuan appeared in front of the immigrants, many people couldn't recognize him, even if Ymir appeared without any cover-up, the young people standing in front of him also couldn't realize that he was the big boss behind a super group, but they started talking boringly.
"I've heard that the queue on the asteroid side is going to be a lot easier than that... I really envy the people who go out to open up..."From the young man's expectant expression, it can be seen that he is not the master of peace, and he is more worried that according to his current position, because he came late, he may not have a chance to get there at that time.
"It's going to be a lot more chaotic on the Earth side than it is here!" Ymir was not unconcerned about current affairs, and replied: "The East Galaxy Company wants to balance the situation, so there are quite a few places in the association. β
"Hey, hey..."The young people agreed, thinking about it, if there is a product that people all over the world can covet and no one can imitate yet, why not use it to make their own market rules? This is the way to maximize profits, and it is quite logical that there are so many East Galaxy companies.
"Coupled with the relative chaos of management, there will be scalpers." Ymir said again.
"Uncle, it looks like you know a lot." The young man laughed, "Are you an old professor in the education district?" Moon City is still dominated by young people. β
The bodyguard who listened attentively in the back tensed his muscles, for fear that in case of an accident, he rushed up to protect the boss as soon as possible, but what he didn't expect was that Ymir was really experienced, and he didn't answer his identity positively in a sloppy way, and instead chatted.
He pointed to the equally long line on a street not far from them, and asked curiously, "What are they doing?" β
The young man took a closer look: "It's Fallout 6 that is on sale, you know, game lovers are very fanatical, so for Fallout 6 they are even willing to queue up all night to buy the boxed version instead of the digital version." β
"Besides, the development team for this game is Bethesda's Moon Studio...", the young man said as if to show off, thinking that the old man opposite him looked quite majestic, but he certainly didn't know much about video games.
Ymir really doesn't know about video games, after all, there are several types of cultural industries, so why force everyone to like the same one? Besides, he played airplanes when he was young, and there are several people who can compare his experience with him.
"Also, I heard that Mr. Consultant of the East Galaxy Company likes games very much..."The young man said, at this time, it was the thickest time of the night, if it wasn't for chatting, many people would almost be drowsy, but because there were city law enforcement officers to maintain order, and the moral quality of the lunar immigrants was relatively high, there would be no queue cutting.
Cao Chuan happened to go out for a walk, and his schedule was never fixed, for example, it was morning for him, so he didn't feel anything unusual when he walked in the moonlit city.
"The population of Moon City is now 600,000!" He was full of accomplishment to himself, full of staggered lights, swaying figures, it is impossible to imagine that this was built in less than 10 years, and the most prosperous business district is even comparable to New York's Central Business District, Tokyo's Akihabara, Paris's Champs-ΓlysΓ©es, and the Magic City's Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.
He swept to the street in front of him, there was a long queue, and the digital city also provided a lot of convenient services, and when he opened the map, he saw that the quota for genetic adjustment was being booked here.
It's just a quota for genetic adjustment, not like yourself, who has completed more than 5 genetic adjustments, and is currently making progress in the direction of the strongest human being, and will get stronger and stronger in the future, maybe you can dress up as a superman wearing underwear or something.
"Master, Mr. Ymir is 20 meters from you!"
"Oh yes?" Cao Chuan's eyes widened slightly, searching, and it didn't take long to find the old man hiding in the team.
"Mr. Ymir, meet again, do you want to compete for the GM spot?" In fact, just Sophia's status as a minister, coupled with Qiao Canal's relationship with her, and the investment of Archaeopteryx in Moonface City, he has no problem enjoying some privileges.
Ymir saw Cao Chuan: "Cao, it's you, long time no see." β
The two men talked to each other, remembering that the last time they met was a long, long time ago, when Cao Chuan was still an ordinary person, selling him the Star-Spangled flag and astronaut footprints left over from the Apollo moon landing, and now, the two sides are equal.
Ymir didn't feel aggrieved, and when he tried to understand the East Galaxy Company, he recognized the rise of such a force. The East Galaxy Company is now a medium-sized country, and in the future, it will be even stronger, although he is not one of them, but he has never relied on others, and he can still find his own career.
After they chatted for a while, Cao Chuan disappeared, and the young man next to him just felt that the young man who passed by just now was a little familiar, and he recalled it in his mind, but he couldn't remember who it was.
The queue slowly moved forward, and there were still 2 hours before the pre-sale, so the security guards in the building opened the door so that some of the people who had been waiting for a long time could enter the room and enjoy a more comfortable environment, followed by more advertisements to represent the arrival of a new day, with trendy music, flashing screens, and even big-name singers invited to perform in the open air, surrounding the city to come and live.
In the end, because the queue was too long, Ymir still didn't buy it, and the next time it will be two months later, and there will be more immigrants who expect to adjust later, unless the East Galaxy Company further opens up the quota.
The young man in front of him also did not get a quota, "Alas, it was hard to ask someone to borrow money and save enough merit to adapt to the environment, why is it so unlucky?" β
However, seeing that more people in front of him were disappointed, in the end, he didn't feel anything bad, "I'm very happy to meet you." My name is Lofa. β
Ymir politely said goodbye to him by exchanging means of communication through the personal assistance module.
In this way, a story that countless people dream of meeting the world's top 500 boss on the street is over, but unfortunately, the person concerned does not seem to realize that he has met a big man, and on the way home, he suddenly remembered that the young man who once appeared occasionally looked exactly like Mr. Consultant, and the old man's name for each other, he suddenly realized.
Then he carefully clicked on the open business card, and through public information, it was confirmed that the mysterious old man was the owner of a company with a scale of 100 billion, and his mind was suddenly filled with joy, and life was really like a dream.
