In the evening, Bai Xuqi returned home, and the maid told her that there was a letter sent from Elon's company for her to see.

Bai Xuqi opened the envelope and found that it contained copies of some meeting minutes, as well as some other paper materials. After reading and thinking about it carefully, Bai Xuqi finally understood the mystery.

The matter goes back to more than a year ago, when the owner of the Xingemen Group, Bai Wanai, had just received a loss report, and the angel's attack affected a mine under the command of Xingemen, resulting in casualties and the suspension of the mine, and Xingemen had to pay compensation to employees for work-related injuries, and also suffered a series of other losses.

This is not the first time that such a thing has happened, and in a certain statistical report, the disaster that has caused the most direct and indirect economic losses in the past decade is none other than angels.

Each time, people can only silently bear the loss behind them after struggling to drive away the angels.

But on this day, Bai Wanai suddenly felt that such a situation could not be endured any longer, in order to maintain the Harold Center, the Seven Groups had already paid their blood, but even if they cultivated human envoys, every time an angel came, it would still cause a lot of damage to the ground. 、

Bai Wanai understood that what she really had to do was not to stop the angel at the door, and then carefully repair the damaged door; What we really need to do is to completely eliminate the threat outside the door.

With such an idea, Bai Wanai came up with an idea - if he could create a super weapon that could destroy the angels in one fell swoop, wouldn't it be once and for all? And maybe you can use it to conquer the angels' dwellings, and the abundance of that Garden of Eden is far from comparable to that on earth, and if you can occupy it, won't the money flow into your pockets?

As a man of action, Bai Wanai immediately found the person he thought was most likely to help - if he wanted to create a weapon that even an angel could easily destroy, then Elon Group and Harva Group must be indispensable helpers.

So, under the convening of Bai Wanai, the Su family of the Elon Group and the Qian family of the Hahua Group at that time, their respective representatives had a secret meeting with Bai Wanai, and at that time, the representative of the Elon Group was still Su Guangwu's father.

The three of them hit it off, but to create such a brand-new and infinitely powerful weapon, the problem of funds must be the key, and to borrow money, the best source must be Jinshi Peony.

However, if the group of financiers of Jinshi Peony knew that there was this opportunity, they would definitely complain, saying that they could not mobilize much money, that the recent income was not good, and that the risk of this kind of project was too high, and that they would find all kinds of reasons to raise the interest rate to the point that it would not work, as long as you borrowed, you would have to repay a huge amount of interest afterwards.

After all, the core of finance is poor information; It's all about tricks and tricks. Finance is the art of making money out of money, but it is silent about where the extra money comes from.

And there is another problem, if you want to borrow money, you have to give a specific amount, that is, the question of how much to borrow - borrowing less is not enough, borrowing more to repay the interest, but this kind of unprecedented project, how much it will cost, it is difficult to estimate.

Bai Wanai gritted his teeth and said a shocking plan - first cut and then play.

As the name suggests, the three groups will use their respective funds to carry out this plan secretly, and the insufficient part will be made up by the three families, and after everything is completed, the specific amount of money spent will be calculated, and then this amount will be used to borrow money from Kings Peony.

This so-called spending money first and then borrowing money, tightening the belt in the early stage, and fighting to the death; After that, find a way to get financing from Kings Peony, and find a way to lower the interest rate.

When the Qianjia and the Su family heard this crazy plan, they were both hesitant at first, Bai Wanai saw that they were so indecisive, and had a feeling of hatred that iron could not be made of steel, and he said:

"You each took over the family business from your parents, and you have lived in comfort since you were a child, so when you run the company, you often lack a lot of hard work, and you don't dare to let go of unknown risks, because you know that even if you don't do anything, you already have everything that others can't have, and a comfortable life is around you, so why put yourself in an unknown situation. However, now there is such a great cause for the ages, and if the plan succeeds, all mankind will be protected from the harm and poison of the heavenly forces, and all of you here will be remembered by all in the future. I, a man of more than sixty years, still have such ambitions, and the two of you are only forty, how can you have been worn out by a comfortable life? ”

This remark really hit the weakness of the Su family - he had heard of his father's countless great achievements since he was a child, and when he grew up, he was determined to catch up with his father's achievements, but found that the company had developed to the point that it could no longer develop, and most of the fields left for himself to open up had been led by people. Now there is such a plan in front of him, if it can really succeed, it can be said to be a great achievement for the benefit of all mankind, and it can be regarded as worthy of the vow of his youth. So, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he agreed. And seeing that the Su family agreed, the Qianjia family naturally couldn't shirk it anymore, so he had to agree.

As a result, the three secrets reached an agreement, a plan containing countless ambitions was carried out secretly in the shadows that no one knew, and finally it took one year and three months, spending 780 billion yuan, and a giant warship equipped with countless cutting-edge technologies was born, its name, UPR-type strategic attack air patrol ship.

After all this was completed, Bai Wanai, the Su family, and the Qianjia family jointly discussed a plan - the government came forward to issue a tender, and at the same time the government issued fixed-interest bonds to raise funds from the public, and Elon Group, Xingemen Group and Hahua Group jointly bid again, and pretended to invite the people of Jinshi Peony to discuss together, so that the four of them seemed to be in the same camp to participate in the government's plan, and the financing method was changed to government bonds, so that At that time, the interest to be repaid is stipulated by the coupon of the bond, which excludes the possibility of King Peony raising the interest rate.

The money raised from Jinshi Peony will be distributed to the Bai's, Su's, and Qian's to make up for the money invested by the three for research and development.

However, the borrowed money must be repaid in the end, and if you want to repay the money, you have to make money, and all this depends on this battleship - as long as you can conquer the territory of the angels and obtain the resources in it, then you can sell it casually, and you will be able to make a lot of money immediately.

Bai Xuqi couldn't think of too deep a level, she only knew that everything was just a situation that her grandfather had taken a step on a year ago.

"I see." Bai Xuqi felt unbelievable in his heart about his grandfather's ability and courage, and sure enough, there was indeed a huge gap between himself and his grandfather.

Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Xuqi received a call from Su Guangwu, saying that when she finished breakfast, he would take her to a place.

Bai Xuqi got into Su Guangwu's car, Su Guangwu took her to a remote suburb, originally Bai Xuqi was still wondering why she came here, but then, she saw a huge fence, surrounding a large open space in front of her.

"This is where new weapons are developed and manufactured." Su Guangwu said.

The car drove all the way to the door, and after confirming their identity, the guards opened the gate and let them through.

Su Guangwu then said with a smile: "The reason why we are still here is because we will continue to secretly develop our new weapons. ”

Bai Xuqi could understand the meaning, he was saying, because we still need to show it to some people.

After getting out of the car, Su Guangwu led her to meet someone, and when she saw that person for the first time, Bai Xuqi could clearly feel that the confidence in the other party, the smile he always hung on, didn't seem to take everyone in his eyes.

"His name is Hou Jingyao, although he is a little arrogant, but in some fields, he is indeed an absolute genius. He is one of the main researchers in the development of new weapons......"

Su Guangwu was originally introducing the man in front of him to Bai Xuqi, but as soon as the other party heard Su Guangwu's words, he immediately interrupted:

"Not one of them!"

Su Guangwu smiled, "Okay, there is no one. ”

He introduced his Bai Xuqi to Hou Jingyao, and in the face of Bai Xuqi's politeness, Hou Jingyao showed some disdain, for such a group of guys who have empty and stinky money, only chase fame and fortune, and have no scientific literacy, he looks down on them in his heart.

Who is he? He is Hou Jingyao, the Chief Honors Graduate of the Central Faculty of Science and Technology, and ...... Forget it, that doesn't matter, he has won countless honors in school, participated in countless scientific and technological innovation competitions and project research, and everyone said that he is the hope of the future of mankind, and he is the person who is most likely to promote the leapfrog development of science.

But when he walked into human society, he realized that although he had a high scientific literacy and innovative talent, he still seemed to be unable to do anything without money here.

And this means that for the sake of money, he needs to bow to this group of incompetent people that he has always looked down upon.

Why doesn't this make him angry?

Science is the most beautiful pursuit, curiosity is the noblest character, this group of vulgar and subordinated people who deceive and intrigue in society, they actually want to whisper to them, and for the sake of the thing they despise the most - money.

Hou Jingyao felt disgusted in his heart.

Just like the person named Bai Xuqi in front of him, he has obviously neither personally dug in the field nor driven a truck himself, but only needs to sit in the office to write and draw, and he can make money continuously, what is the basis for it?

"Mr. Hou, do you have any thoughts on the project we are about to undertake?" Su Guangwu asked deliberately.

"Hehe, I plan to develop a particle flow weapon that is powerful enough to cut every chemical bond, different from traditional laser weapons, any object illuminated by the light emitted by this weapon will be broken into atoms in an instant, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is broken bones."

"Oh? I don't know what Mr. Hou's estimate of the success rate of the development of such a weapon? ”

"Success rate? Oh, as long as you are willing to give me enough money, there is nothing I can't make. ”

"Really? Mr. Hou, how does the weapon you have researched compare to the power of the gods? ”

"Gods?" When Hou Jingyao heard these two words, he couldn't help but shake his head, "Everything has a law to follow, even the so-called gods follow a certain logic, they will also have their own cognition, their own prejudices, so they must also have their own weaknesses." In short, nothing beyond your imagination can exist, and the gods and angels are just another group of creatures, as long as they are creatures, I dare say that there is nothing that Zanetti cannot destroy with one shot. ”

Su Guangwu clapped his hands and applauded him, and Bai Xuqi also applauded with him when he saw this.

"Then Mr. Hou, we will wait for your good news."

After saying this, Su Guangwu left with Bai Xuqi.

On the way out, Su Guangwu couldn't help but joke to Bai Xuqi: "What an arrogant weirdo, isn't he?" ”

Bai Xuqi said: "Although I don't know why, I always feel that he is not from the same world as us." ”

"Yes, what people pursue and believe in is science, physics, time and space, where can we compare with ordinary people who are busy for money?"

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, obviously what they had just said was a joke.

"Mr. Su, I have a question."

In the originally silent atmosphere, Bai Xuqi suddenly spoke.

"Miss Bai, please speak."

"Why, are you so good to me?"

Su Guangwu smiled lightly, "You want to know?" Do you know your grandfather's history? ”

Bai Xuqi shook his head, Bai Wanai told Bai Xuqi very little about his past.

Su Guangwu told her eloquently: "At the beginning, your grandfather's father, that is, your maternal great-grandfather, had a total of two sons, and when your maternal great-grandfather died, he planned to divide the shares equally among the brothers, but later, he was worried that if the two brothers did not get along in the future, they would mess around with their respective shares, which would have an impact on the company's operation, so in the end he decided to leave most of the shares to his brother and only a small part to his younger brother, and naturally, his younger brother was very dissatisfied. ”

"Could it be that my brother, it's my grandfather."

"Yes, the younger brother of the brothers is your grandfather. Your grandfather ran away from home because of anger, he has traveled all over the place, done all kinds of jobs, has experienced countless economic crises, but in the end will miraculously get out of trouble, until finally, he joined Kings Peony, became an ordinary agent in Kings Peony, and then through the King Peony tree, all the way up, and finally even used his original hybrid bonds, from his brother to buy all the shares, became the owner of the Xingemen Group. But at the same time, he also kicked his brother out of the company, and his brother had to leave and go elsewhere. ”

"So, where did he go?"

"It's very simple, go to his daughter and son-in-law, as early as when your grandfather was still working outside, your grandfather's brother married his daughter into another family. After being chased away by his younger brother, your grandfather, he had no choice but to go to his own children. Do you want to guess, what is his son-in-law's last name? ”

"Could it be...... Su ......"

"Hehe, it's really not difficult to guess that the son-in-law of your grandfather's brother is my father, so strictly speaking, I am yours, a distant brother."

"Ah......?"

Bai Xuqi looked at the man in front of her again, at this moment, he actually had the identity of his brother, which made her a little dazed for a while.

Seeing her surprised look, Su Guangwu couldn't help but smile, "It's just a brother who is far away, and you may have to add it, you don't have to care." ”

Bai Xuqi nodded, and it took a long time to calm down.

"Then, my grandfather's brother, that is, Mr. Su, your grandfather, what happened to him?"

"Grandpa, he...... Hahaha, it's not a secret, your grandfather was out of work countless times and almost couldn't eat, but every time he was able to find another errand in time, in fact, it was not a miracle, but his brother watched him silently behind his back and quietly helped him when he was in trouble. Doing all this silently, but in the end, I still have to be misunderstood by my brother, and even kicked out of the company by my brother in the end, I think this feeling is definitely not good. ”

“…… I'm sorry. ”

"Miss Bai doesn't need to apologize, this is the grievance of the older generation, and the grievances of the older generation will be left to the older generation to remember. However, his grandfather also died a few years ago, and on the day he died, his younger brother did not come to see him. ”

After listening to this, Bai Xuqi pursed his lips, and then said to Su Guangwu: "That, if you can, can you let me go to Mr. Su's grandfather's tomb and pay my respects?" ”

Bai Xuqi looked cautious when he asked this, a little worried that this request would be rejected by Su Guangwu or make him feel disgusted. Su Guangwu looked at her and saw that there was firmness in her eyes, so he nodded and ordered the driver to go immediately.

The driver drove them to a private cemetery, where there is the tombstone of Bai Wanai's brother, Bai Wanyu.

The person who rests in the tomb once made a vow to his father when he took over his father's family business, and he promised that he would take care of his younger brother for the rest of his life and not let his younger brother suffer any grievances, so until he was finally expelled by his younger brother himself, he just left silently.

Bai Xuqi walked to Bai Wanyu's grave and knelt solemnly, she folded her hands together, reverently comforting the deceased person in front of her, and at the same time, apologizing for the harm her grandfather had caused him.

Su Guangwu stood not far away, quietly watching all this.

"I don't know what Grandpa would think at this time if you had a spirit in the sky."
