In any case, except for Li Pan himself, who wanted to change jobs, the rest of the team did not propose to resign after experiencing a mission.

And the head office also quickly replied, always lenient about the business settlement, recognized the completion of the two tasks of 'Fountain of Youth' and 'Jinyao Academy', recognized Kotaro, Shiranui and Yamazaki to participate in the completion of the task, and they also received their own formal clothes and a silver key, which can be regarded as a member of the company.

Since everyone is a team from now on, Li Pan has also made some arrangements for the grass platform team under him.

Ah Qi and Rama continued to work together, continuing to be in charge of the logistics department to look after the warehouse, and also to manage the personnel department.

Regardless of whether there is interference from the ACA side, personnel recruitment will definitely continue, and it is difficult to recruit temporary business workers at the company's headquarters, but the warehouse management personnel of the forty-one external warehouses must also be filled.

In addition, Li Pan sent Liu Heitu's resume information from Lao Wu to Ah Qi to arrange a recruitment attempt. This little old man of Bajiquan is so capable of fighting, it must be useful to recruit him as a temporary worker, and he himself must also want to heal his old waist.

If the filing cabinet can restore Old Man Liu's combat effectiveness, then all the big masters under the Dragon Gang will be able to poach and recruit An.

And Kotaro, Shiranui and Yamazaki, are aiming at their ability to make investigation reports, which has to be placed in the business department. At present, there are still too few people, otherwise Li Pan would also have a secretariat of the Operations Department of the Intelligence Department or something.

In addition, Li Pan also sent them the big case in his hand, the 'Holy Grail Bid'.

"This is the company's long-term goal, and everyone can usually prepare first, including investigating the holder of the Holy Grail, the location of the storage, our competitors, and so on.

Of course, there is no rush in this matter, so I will prepare slowly first, and I will do some ordinary investigation and procurement. Oh yes, in order to avoid loss of contact and support each other, the business department is still in accordance with the regulations, and the two of them work together in a group, so it's better to ......"

Li Pangang wanted to say that Sister Zhihuo, let's go together, and if you are idle, you can still practice together or something, even if you don't practice, it's not bad to raise your eyes.

How do you know that the other party picked up a task book first and spoke,

"I found out that some of the company's 'monster procurement' cases were against the 'Demon Sealing Weapon'. Demon Sealer, as the heir of the Demon Sealing Family, you must be clear about these 'Demon God Seals', why don't we cooperate and transfer these out-of-control 'evil things' to the company to seal them and take strict care of them, so as not to be seized by Iga's ninja and abuse the power of the Demon God for disaster? ”

Demon Sealing Kotaro smiled,

"I also have this intention, I don't know the means of fire ninja for a long time, you are an experienced senior in sealing demons, with your cooperation, I don't think you have to worry about the sneak attack behind the Iga ninja, the monster seal will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

What about my book, you two are on it, don't bring personal grudges into your work, hey!

Ayato Yamazaki, an undercover agent with no eyesight, also took the initiative to raise his hand to perform,

"General manager, general manager, I found that the object of this procurement case is my family's old acquaintance, why don't we go to purchase monsters together? Maybe I can persuade him to transfer the price to the company. ”

Li Pan, "...... Alas, well, so be it. ”

So Aqirama went to recruit people, two ninjas went to seal demons, Li Pan and Yamazaki went to purchase, and Eighteen stayed at home, responsible for technical support and always paying attention to the curve of the stock market......

Well, the black gold hasn't risen back yet, and two million have been cut out for urgent use before, so it's even tighter now. When will I earn a small goal, I'll ......

"Boss, my friend and I have made an appointment and got the permit, and we can fly directly to Sky City."

"Damn, do you still have friends who live in Sky City? What kind of class do you still attend? ”

Sky City is the most upscale community in the night capital, it is a floating flying island floating in the sky, flying higher than Yunding, and the entire community is an independent villa of the top chaebol, a few small targets and a kind, even the gatekeeper is from the security department.

Ayato Yamazaki also smiled bitterly and passed on the information,

"My grandfather used to be a guard for the Imai family, and the young master of the Imai family and I have played since childhood, so we can be regarded as friends."

"The Imai family? Oh, the rendezvous of Sakai Port......"

Li Pan also looked at the information compiled by Yamazaki and Eighteen, originally the Oda family was a samurai, and the rendezvous in Sakai Port was the royal merchant of the Oda family.

Later, the first generation of Oda gradually reformed the ruling model, not to be a shogun to do business, so Takamagahara business was gradually established, and participated in the trade of the heavens, the role of those indigenous samurai in the past was not great, but these indigenous merchants became the confidants of the Oda family, and the treasurers of the people became professional managers and investment advisers under Takamagahara, although they did not have shares of Takamagahara, but they could get high remuneration and bonuses according to their performance.

In this way, the samurai became the director and the merchant became the manager.

The Imai family is the royal manager of the Oda clan, although they have no power, but they have money, and Ren is the directors of Takamagahara who fight for power and profit to break their heads, no matter who wins the final victory, when it comes to dealing with business and doing business, they still have to find these shopkeepers. So these people are also happy to take paid leave.

So the floating car was towed by the automatic navigation and came to Sky City 'Sakai Port'.

This Sky City is essentially a colonial ship transformed from an aircraft carrier, in fact, it is more fuel-efficient to park on the ground or on orbit, so it has to float in the sky if it doesn't go up or down, mainly because there is money and no place to burn......

The difference between Sky City and Night City is indeed a world of difference, with cyberpunk on one side and atompunk on the other, the city is full of automatic shuttles, clothing styles are futuristic, almost everyone is a superman full of sixth-level prostheses, and there are medical insurance balls to follow.

Oh, some people don't know what a medical insurance ball is, simply put, this is a drone the size of an explosive ball, this is a high-tech equipment, Gao Tianyuan can't produce it, each ball is genetically customized from Zhutian Private Health Insurance Company, and it costs a lot of money to import.

As long as you buy a monthly platinum card from a private medical company, about a few million per month, you can enjoy the all-weather protection of the medical insurance ball, in addition to providing you with real-time medical monitoring, you can also provide molecular spacesuits, deflection positions, bulletproof and anti-virus, nano restructuring, air purification, etc.

To put it bluntly, even if this place is leveled, it won't hurt a single hair of their hair, and they will be reincarnated in another world in minutes.

Under the guidance of automatic navigation, the two of them came to the big garden in the city, probably the entertainment place of Sky City, which is like a maze, full of villas and restaurants, and the waiters who come and go are all five-level smart dolls, and on the smooth shell curve, even the screws and metal structures cannot be seen, as if a human-shaped ceramic vase has just been fired out of the kiln.

Don't look at these puppets with a minimalist style, but each one is a terminal with its own system intelligence, and the whole process of QVN network monitoring can be transformed into a top killing machine in an instant, and once a case occurs, you can chain an agent from the security department to come in at any time.

Under the guidance of the puppet, Li Pan and the others entered the labyrinth and met Yamazaki's friend in a villa-like bar.

Shoichiro Imai was lying upstairs with a man and three women in a private seat, drinking and chatting, using QVN to travel to the heavens on the Internet, and the two came in under the leadership of the puppet, and also got off the line and floated over to meet.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Ayato, so I just sit down and want to have something."

Li Pan glanced at the young master of the Imai family, hey, wow, blonde and blue-eyed, plastic surgery to the point that the race has changed, the whole body is a sixth-level prosthesis, and the spine also uses an anti-gravity device, literally superhuman. It can be seen that the whole body prosthesis is a luxury that cannot be produced locally in 0791, and the other people are similar, all of them are followed by medical insurance balls, and they are obviously people in a circle.

If there is any obvious difference between them and the people on the earth, it is that these heavenly people seem to be particularly lazy and reassuring, lying in this paradise-like garden, surfing the Internet, chatting, drinking, and enjoying an almost long and endless life.

It's true that there is no need to do anything, and people are not the kind of social animals who work day and night, work overtime, work side jobs, squeeze the subway, and repay loans. These people are really rich second generation! Although he doesn't have much power, he is very rich!

The ancestral pocket money can be squandered for hundreds of generations, even if they lie there all day long, watch dramas, go on the Internet, drink alcohol, all kinds of assets in their accounts, banks, funds, and stock markets will continue to grow under the hard work of the family-raised social animals.

And because there is no family name carried by the Chinese family, as long as you want to open it, you don't have to worry about the ranking of the board of directors, and you don't intrigue for Gao Tianyuan's shares, and you can't be guilty of settling with those young princesses or something.

Even if the Yeshi Group is in power, they still have money in their hands, and they are still valued customers, and they are the most popular 'consumers' of Zhutian Company.

The sea of stars, a bright future, and infinite possibilities, this is the portrayal of their born life.

"Imai San, this is Manager Li of our company, as I said before, we are here today to purchase a collection of your family."

Yamazaki, this kid is indeed an elite, he laughs like a spring breeze, his attitude is sincere and polite, and he doesn't make people feel humble and stammering.

"You kid, what are you being polite to me? I'll have a drink first, I remember your taste, bourbon, then you have taken it orally, I have a bottle of masterwork here, burnt white oak barrels, twelve years of aging, the caramel and oak flavor in the entrance can be strong, but unfortunately it has been discontinued, you must try it. ”

Shoichiro Imai landed with a smile and pulled Yamazaki towards the bar.

Li Pan also wanted to come and taste the old wine, but Imai smiled at him and made a gesture of invitation to the private room on the other side.

"This manager, the things you want have been taken, you can go and take a look."

Oh hang! Don't give Lao Tzu a glass of wine! Act like a snob!

Yamazaki was behind Imai, and he was sorry to apologize to Li Pan with a wry smile.

The work was important, Li Pan had no choice but to keep his face on, first follow the smart puppet, and go to the backstage of the bar to check the goods.

When I came to the bar counter of the private room, the puppet took a wooden box from the warehouse and opened it under the eyes of Li Pan, and what was placed in the box was the target of this procurement, 'Golden Buddha'.

This is a South Asian Theravada Buddhism of the ancient Buddha statue of gold sculpture, about 50 centimeters high, is the ancient Sukhothai Dynasty period of the unique standing walking Buddha, the Buddha statue is characterized by the head flame light wheel, long face snail hair, hooked nose, broad shoulders and thin waist, the left hand is given the fearless seal, the right hand is given the wish seal. It symbolizes the Buddha's protection, warding off calamities, forming good karma, prospering financial resources, and keeping peace.

In the past, this item appeared at auction, but due to its own cultural relics and asset attributes, as well as the effect of feng shui, the merchants were enthusiastic, and the final transaction price greatly exceeded the budget of the company's finance department, and was auctioned off by the Imai family.

And in view of the fact that Gao Tianyuan was in full swing at that time, these 'Golden Buddhas' were not in the warehouse, and the monster company did not do anything to each other.

Li Pan transferred to the intelligent puppet through the QVN security link, picked up the golden Buddha and checked it, and the scan showed that it was indeed pure gold.

And through his own eyes, he can clearly see that the face of this 'Golden Buddha' is full of black gas, the tips of his fingers, two pieces of blood light, and under the gold leaf of the Buddha statue, there are clear bursts of black smoke, which is definitely a 'monster'.

Then Li Pan looked at the wooden box containing the Buddha statue.

This wooden box is made of sandalwood, and the surface is painted with flowers, birds, and beasts with vermilion lacquer, which looks like it is just a decoration, but when I touched the lid of the box, I felt that under the silk interlayer, there were layers of charms pasted, and the black gas emitted by the 'Golden Buddha' was sealed by these runes. However, in order to avoid destroying the effect of the enchantment, Li Pan didn't tear it open to see the specific spell.

Even the storage measures with the monster are also a set of shipments.,Sure enough, it's a penny.,Willing to spend money.,'Monsters' are packed perfectly for you.。

After verifying the 'Golden Buddha', Li Pan returned to the bar.

"It's good, let's make a price."

Shoichiro Imai and Ayato Yamazaki glanced at each other and said with a smile,

"Then the original price will be transferred to you, twenty-seven million, excluding tax, do you want to see the invoice?"

Although the other party was quite easy to speak, Li Pan's face was still frozen,

"It's too expensive. Cheaper. ”

After all, the company's valuation of this thing was only 5 million, and the budget was only 10 million, so it was forced to raise the price of these auspicious chaebols......

Imai laughed and said,

"Manager Li, you want to buy it, I am not short of money, and I don't have to buy it, it is very polite to transfer the original price to you."

Li Pan was also a little embarrassed,

"Get a discount and make a friend."

Ayato Yamazaki also persuaded,

"Yes, Ichiro, there are some things that are not good at home, so let's help you deal with a hidden danger."

Shoichiro Imai was noncommittal,

"That thing has been in my house for so many years, where does it have any effect, it's just an object, and what hidden danger can it have.

Okay Ayato, I'll give you face this time and take care of your business, even if it's 25 million. ”

Ayato Yamazaki also gave Li Pan a look, his business is interesting enough, two million is not enough for a face?

However, Li Pan is still embarrassed, there are so many over-budgets, and the financial affairs of the headquarters can only be promised.

Imai smiled when he saw his expression,

"Can't take it either? Although my father often said that I was a loser, I couldn't give it to you in vain, right?

Ayato, I'm not sincere in embarrassing you, but you came to ask about this thing, and I also casually went to the Internet to ask for a quote, you see, this is given by someone else. ”

Then he raised his hand and projected an offer from another company online.

Sixty-five million, excluding taxes.

Well, who else could there be, the ACA Collectors Association.

"Hiss......"

Good guy, the front foot is here, and the back foot is coming to raise the price and disrupt the market, right?

Li Pantie's face was blue, "Wait for me to call." ”

Imai also smiled and beckoned Ayato to have another drink.

So when Li Pan went out, he tugged with the headquarters for a while, and came back to bring a new offer.

"We give 10 million ......"

Shoichiro Imai smiled at Ayato Yamazaki and shook his head.

"Buy that box."

"Buy...... Box? Imai frowned, "Is it cash?" ”

Li Pan nodded,

"Yes, cash, buy a box, ACA's offer is 'Golden Buddha', then you can separate it for them, and you can make another profit, so you won't lose anything."

Imai looked at him suspiciously,

"Do you really just need boxes?"

Li Pan smiled,

"Just the box. And in order to avoid the monster getting out of control, we can wait until you and ACA are trading live, and then take the box away. What do you think? ”

"Oh, you're here to meet the Collectors' Guild?"

Shoichiro Imai thought about it for a while and agreed, after all, the battle between the two companies had nothing to do with him, but this change of hands made 48 million in cash!

Even if the Imai family itself is not short of money, this is not a small amount, and the antiques themselves are not for investment. When it's time to make a move, businessmen won't be greedy.

So the two sides reached a purchase agreement, and the company spent 10 million to buy a box containing the 'Golden Buddha', and now it is waiting for Shoichiro Imai to contact the ACA to pick up the goods.

Ayato Yamazaki said it was hard to understand.

"Manager, is this really possible?"

Li Pan nodded,

"The head office agreed to my proposal, free market, free competition, and the top also wants to see what the ACA is and what confidence it has to compete with us. Of course, if they don't have the ability to take the 'Golden Buddha' out of the box themselves, that's none of our business. I'm going to bring the box back today anyway, I said. ”

Yamazaki hesitated,

"But since ACA has poached so many people in the company, maybe it is also prepared, right? If only they could think of other ways to deal with the 'Golden Buddha'......"

Li Pan said with a smile,

"Silly, wouldn't it be enough to snatch it back, the monster mission is not like this, grab it and grab it."

And Li Pan estimated that the company was willing to pay 10 million to purchase the 'Golden Buddha' anyway, and when the time came, he would snatch the 'Golden Buddha' back and sell it to the company, and he could make a small profit.

In addition, seriously, if it weren't for the fact that the defense of Sky City was a bit too strict, Li Pan would have wanted to snatch the 'Golden Buddha' now and sell it to ACA, sixty-five million...... Monsters are really valuable......

But Yamazaki is still a little worried,

"Then if there is no box to preserve, then the 'Golden Buddha' is really out of control? Will there be a catastrophe that will destroy the Night Capital......"

"Anla, An, I just watched, it's not something that will explode when you take it out, didn't that Zhang Lang also say it, it's okay for so many years. It's okay, it's okay. ”

Imai also quickly got in touch,

"They're going to send someone to pick it up right away, and someone will come tonight."

Li Pan nodded and smiled, "That's fine, I don't want to delay too long, it's best to end the transaction as soon as possible." ”

Imai also nodded and smiled, "Please look at that thing, Ayato, let's have two more drinks!" ”

Wow...... This Zhang Lang is really annoying......
