"We made a bet that we were playing in the military futures market of the Thirty-Second Star, and if I won, then he would give me his share of the Thirty-First Star, and if I lost, I would give him half of my share of the Thirty-Second Star. It was a big gamble, and according to my last name, I shouldn't have agreed. But I didn't know why, but I said yes. Now that I think about it, it should be because Le Yan's fame is too great, which aroused my fighting spirit. I want to defeat him and prove to myself that I am no longer an ordinary rich man, but a big man who is on his way to a chaebol. ”

"And you lost?"

"Yes, I lost worse than I imagined, and my thoughts were completely controlled by him. He teased me little by little, until when I put all my net worth on energy futures, he actually prompted the entire Doomsday Twilight Alliance to launch a declaration of war on the seven alliances at the same time, and for a while, the energy prices of the thirty-second interstellar suddenly soared, and I bought the ......."

"You underestimated the influence of Le Yan on the Dusk of Doom, you thought that he was just a businessman like you, and that the Admirals would not have made such a sacrifice because of him."

"Yes, Dusk makes me feel like a traditional military bloc. There should be a very clever person behind it, a person who, like you, has a deep understanding of the relationship between business and war, and is willing to unite the two forces without prejudice. The war they waged was on a huge scale, with an astonishing military budget and far-reaching implications, and all they gained was my bankruptcy and my Morton Bank. ”

When Lao Biao said this, he smiled bitterly, "I have carefully calculated that if I want to make energy prices rise enough to make me lose money, the scale of the war that needs to be waged will exceed one trillion on both sides." 1,000 trillion for 600 trillion, this is a loss-making business, they won't do it, and when I made the decision, it was based on this idea. Looking back now, my level is still too low. As you said, a person who does not know how to use business is not a good soldier, but how can a businessman who does not know how to integrate with military power be considered a good businessman? ”

"You seem to have learned a lot from this campaign."

"Yes, since then, I have begun to understand that troubled times are not coming, but have come, but they are not yet visible on the surface. If my guess is correct, the one standing behind Doom Dusk is likely to be a powerful person at the Pan-Star Conference. And this kind of alliance with complete integration of military and commerce is completely in line with the characteristics of the new military bloc in the future. Once such a military group is born, it is impossible for traditional businessmen to compete with it. And if I want to realize my dream of becoming the number one merchant in the universe, then I must find a military group to work with me, he may not be the number one military group in the universe, but it must be the first class. ”

Lao Biao said, lowered his head, and looked at Mo Cheng.

"Hey, don't you look at me like that, okay? I'm not wearing clothes, and if you look at me like that, I'll be mistaken. ”

"May I ask you a question?"

Didn't wipe it, just for a scarf, Mo Cheng walked out of the bathroom wet, and the huge old biao asked softly behind him.

"I wonder what the consequences will be if I say no."

Mo Cheng picked up a cup of Pu'er tea, took a sip, turned around, leaned against the table and said to Lao Biao.

"It's nothing, it's just that the two of us have parted ways since then. I'm a businessman, and I don't invest in any business that I'm not sure I can succeed. ”

Lao Biao said, raising his pipe, he probably wanted to make himself look chic, but an object with too long and wide incongruity is always difficult to look chic, but it is not ugly, but it looks a little cute.

For Lao Biao's answer, Mo Cheng's face didn't have any excessive expression, he didn't look surprised, and he didn't seem to care at all, he just held Pu'er tea, blinked his eyes, then licked his lips, and said, "Okay, for me, my birthday is just an unexpected starting point. ”

Lao Biao hadn't asked yet, but Mo Cheng had already answered, and Lao Biao nodded naturally, "Very good, keep talking." ”

"Even if I didn't have a birthday, I think I would have chosen another starting point. The reason why I got to where I am today is not entirely my free will, it can be said that it is a last resort, because I have to do something as soon as possible to establish my own foundation, and I don't want to be like my teacher. Mo Cheng said this, and shook his head with a smile, "For me, I'd rather be a grass king than an uncrowned king." ”

"It is precisely because you have something like your teacher and something that you don't like your teacher that I am so interested in you. Now it seems that my feeling was correct. ”

"So, do you think you see through me?"

Mo Cheng said, curling the corners of his mouth and asking with a smile.

"I did have that intention, but then I dismissed it."

"When?"

"Just when I realized that you deliberately didn't want to be known to others...... Maybe you don't even notice it yourself, and you instinctively don't like people asking why or people asking about your past. You may seem relaxed, but you are always on high alert, and you attach great importance to your control over yourself, whether it is your superficial expressions and words, as well as your deep emotions and thoughts. In the same way, you are very accustomed to trying to control others, and you are always clever, using language that is so light that there is almost no trace, and other means to make others go where you want to go. ”

"All people with high strategic indices have this problem, don't they? Aren't you the same yourself? ”

"No, we're different, I'm trained to be like this, and you don't seem to have been trained to do it, you seem to have this ability from your mother's womb. Otherwise, I can't imagine why you do all this so naturally, without obstacles, in other words, without flaws. ”

When Lao Biao said this, he kept looking at Mo Cheng, Mo Cheng turned his face slightly, he was silent, with a smile on his face.

"Since you deliberately want to hide yourself, then as someone who wants to cooperate with you for a long time, I don't think I have to disobey you."

Lao Biao took a puff of cigarette, shrugged his shoulders, and showed a smiling face, although Mo Cheng was smiling, but the atmosphere was somewhat stagnant, and he wanted to change the atmosphere.

"Lao Biao, I want to ask you a word, and I want a true answer."

Mo Cheng's expression suddenly became serious.

"Do you think I'm a friend to you?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure, but I'm you. Yes, you do have a habit of disguising yourself, sometimes even to the point of acting. But there is also a warm power in you, which makes me believe that you will not hurt your friends. ”

Mo Cheng smiled happily, "I think there are some things I need to let you know......"

"What's the matter?"

"About the chaos and the ...... of cloning"

Ten minutes later, Lao Biao was so anxious that he jumped up, "You obviously know that we are so short of time, and you still drag me to waste so much time here, it's really hateful......"

Lao Biao yelled loudly while dragging Mo Cheng, who was only surrounded by a bath towel, and walked out.

"You listen to me explain that I did it because I knew it was probably the last time of my life...... My dear ancestors, my bath towel fell off ......"
