Chapter 144: Average Price
The train problem is probably something that everyone has heard of.
When the train comes, you don't do anything, watch the train run over five children on the main track, or change the train track and run over a child on the branch line?
There are many variations and answers to this question, and there is no standard answer. And most of the time, you're either tied to the railroad tracks, or you're just passing by with a toilet bolt on your shoulder, and it's not your turn to make decisions for the train.
But now Li Pan is indeed encountering this dilemma.
Do you watch the outbreak of the corporate war in 0791 and sooner or later become a battlefield of the heavens where the Star Destroyer fleet jumps wildly, crushing 14 billion children on the earth, or help the gods shepherd the sheep and sacrifice 100 million children, and try to see if others have any chances and ways to survive?
It's so difficult, it's just a hundred, a thousand, a thousand, and a thousand, the night capital is so big, outside the outer ring, the boundaries of the suburban ghost areas are counted, cats, dogs, dogs, cockroaches, and bedbugs are counted as people, and it is also a giant metropolitan area with a resident population of 50 million, and there is no shortage of this scum, not to mention that those underworld people usually do something, sacrifice them or use that dirty and rotten life to make a small contribution to human society, it is to accumulate virtue and do good.
But a hundred million? It's too much, brother, you can only cut off your head with tears in your brother......
And seriously, 100 million people, how many are that......
Now Li Pan doesn't even have a real sense of experience, why has the unit of measurement expanded so intensely recently? In the first two months, he was still counting the last two decimal places, and recently he has counted a whole hundred million......
It's so hard...... It's really hard......
didn't give Li Pan a chance to think about the current situation and what to do in the future, so Jimoni brought the 'lambs'.
This is a plain-looking leather bag, sticky and slippery to the touch like a fish skin with scales removed, Duan Kecheng opened the pocket, put his face in and sniffed it, drooling and looking intoxicated.
"Ah~~Two hundred lamb cubs~~It's so fragrant~~~"
Jimoni watched from the sidelines, a mixture of disgust and fear. She noticed Li Pan's gaze, quickly put away her gaze, accompanied by a smile, and groveled to hand over a smaller cowhide bag.
"It's a small meaning, but it's not a respect."
Li Pan took it and turned it upside down, opened it and saw that this was a money bag, and there were twenty gold coins in it, which was the kind that Duan Kecheng used to pay the bill at the hotel before.
"These are Solomon's gold coins. It is a magical contract that calls the demons to trade, and it is also the key to enter the Great Demon Domain.
If you successfully complete a contract with the Demon Clan, you can get one piece, which will be used as a representative of your credit to gain the friendship of the Demon.
Although it cannot be exchanged for lambs directly, it can also be used to purchase other goods that we handle. The number of transactions between the two of them this time is huge, so they pay some extra as gifts. ”
Oh, the equivalent of shopping rebates or something.
Duan Kecheng said, "You can take these big brothers, I have a lot in my hand." In addition to buying things, if you have any small things, you can also use gold coins to call a demon to let them do the work for them. ”
It's true, after all, are they demons that can cross other dimensions, and things that mortals and even immortals can't do, it's just a matter of doing something to them.
Duan Kecheng demonstrated on the spot, spent a gold coin, asked Ji Moni to run errands, gave her a talisman, and called her to go to the Divine Cult World and take some heavenly treasures from his cave to use.
Li Pan actually wanted to try to see if he could pay the demon to go to the True Temple, and ask Li Qingyun to get some Dan to take a sip, but it was not convenient for Duan Kecheng to experiment with him, so he would talk about it next time.
However, he also changed something from "Jimoni's Magic Book". As the name suggests, because of the big business of making two hundred sheep, Jimoni took out the knowledge and magic she mastered to Li Panxuan, which can be exchanged for gold coins.
So Li Pan used four gold coins to exchange for the four spells of the devil, which were embodied as four magic books.
"Magic Dictionary", "Abyss Study", "Elementary Magic Book", "Book of Resurrection"
"Magic Dictionary", this is a spell equivalent to magic translation, when reading a book of magic words, spread out the "magic dictionary", you can also translate it into a text that you can read.
"Abyss Research" is the demon clan's understanding of the void and the gap and space, and also includes some of the history of the demon clan, as well as the knowledge of other civilizations and other existences that the demons have come into contact with.
"Elementary Magic Book", is the primary school textbook of the demon clan, teaching you to learn magic, of course, you must be a demon clan to learn, Li Pan is to see the market.
"Book of Resurrection", which is also a special skill unique to demons, is a one-time consumption spell that can cast the magic of resurrection.
When the demon clan dies in a projection or clone in another world, they can be resurrected in the abyss with resurrection. Of course, this is also a magic that can only be performed by demons, but the object of resurrection is not necessarily limited to demons.
As long as it is the existence of some kind of other world, it is only a container death, the godhead or soul is only expelled, not destroyed, and it is weaker than the duke-level great demon, the conditions for resurrection can be satisfied. However, the souls of the other world who are resurrected by Jimoni's resurrection technique will also be branded and become Jimoni's slaves. Of course, if Li Pan asked her to buy it, probably she wouldn't have the courage to refuse.
That is to say, in the future, if an apostle in the company dies unexpectedly, and the filing cabinet can't be pulled back, Li Pan can spend a gold coin to call the demon, let it read the "Book of Resurrection" and perform the resurrection technique, and then spend a gold coin to let the demon bring the soul back from the abyss, of course, it will also cost a gold coin to redeem the soul from Jimoni's hands, and finally throw it into a new prosthetic body, and it can be resurrected.
So this is the equivalent of four gold coins for one life.
According to Duan Kecheng, this can be regarded as a method of rebirth of the military solution with a change of direction, right? It's rubbish, though......
Of course, the demon's magic book is also indispensable for offensive and auxiliary magic, and you can buy your own magic book in this way, and pay the demon to provide support.
However, 0791 is the world on the scientific side after all, and before there is no 'breaking the way of heaven', the demonic magic of what Duke and Earl can provide is limited, and the cost performance is not high, so it is better to blow up the RPG directly. So it's okay to try the whole book of "The Book of Resurrection", and there's no need for more.
In this way, the business was basically over, Duan Ke sincerely thought about going back to shepherd the sheep, and when Jimoni took the materials he wanted, he didn't say that he wanted to add another seed or anything, and the two of them went back directly and left the Solomon Hotel.
It should be said that the demon human race on the abyss side is also quite interesting, although it is not as domineering as the human beings on the scientific side and the immortal cultivation side, but it also has a unique ability to run rampant in the heavens and all worlds. They can cross, they can resurrect, they can perform magic, they can breed 'lambs', and in a sense they are the protagonists of the heavens.
And what's interesting is that according to the statement in "Abyss Research", in fact, a long time ago, the demon humans have been relieved of the earthlings on the scientific side.
It's just that at that time, Earth 0 was engaged in a brutal civil war, and those who followed me prospered, and those who opposed me died. The war was at a fever pitch, and all the colonies that supported the Legion were completely wiped out. Even the demons who were hiding in the abyss and watching were scared.
After all, the demons have also seen a lot of the world, although the human civilization of the heavenly world is often destroyed by various natural and man-made disasters, but that is also caused by cruel nature and backward productive forces.
But like Earth 0, which is obviously extremely advanced in science and technology, but is keen on cannibalism, or the cruel hegemony of billions and billions of massacres like burning glass, it is really rare in the heavens.
The demon gods of the abyss and hell are just shepherding a few sheep, the lamb is to eat people, but the lamb is useful to raise. You don't eat it, you don't use it, and you kill people all over the world, it's too wasteful, right?
Therefore, even the Abyss Hell is not willing to have too much contact with the extremely neurotic earthlings of Earth 0. If it weren't for the more extreme madmen who took the initiative to chase and cut them down, they wouldn't have been able to ask for support everywhere.
Li Pan also has nothing to say, from a personal point of view, the survival of hundreds of millions of billions of human beings is of course a big matter, but if you look at it from the level of civilization, an earth is just a strategic node on the star map that needs to be conquered and suppressed. How much collateral damage there is is only a number.
But on the other hand, if Earth 0 hadn't shown such fangs, it might have been invaded by demons from another dimension and reduced to a pasture for sheep, right? The countless earths ruled by the Security Council are certainly full of oppression and inequality, but haven't they also given birth to a powerful civilization that the heavens and demon gods dare not underestimate?
It can only be said that most of the civilizations that can survive in such forests are half-hearted, and a civilization that is too benevolent and too virgin has no chance of surviving in this cruel natural selection to a large extent.
But for Li Pan, whether you are 0 on the earth, or the demons of the Divine Cult, they are all forces that put people to death, and the future of 0791 is clearly visible, and the capital of night will be drowned in blood and fire sooner or later. It's still necessary to run, run early and overtake early! In these heavens and worlds, there is always a place where you can lie flat!
Don't think about what train runs over people!
God knows when 0791 will fight!
There's no time to struggle with 80 million anymore!
Get a trillion first!
Make hay! Run!
Once again, he strengthened his strategic plan, Li Pan returned to 0791, left Li Xuehong's clone in the refrigerator to practice, and opened his eyes.
Then when I woke up, I saw Shiranui Kiriko riding on his waist to exercise.
Wo - Tefa ......
Oh, by the way, because I was thinking about the 80 million at work during the day, I was distracted for a while, and I agreed to the invitation of Zhihuo without paying attention, and followed her to the Genting Apartment for double cultivation......
Alas! It's hard to prevent! It's hard to prevent it!
Hurriedly exerted his strength to end the battle, Li Pan drank water, thought about the planning of the Holy Grail, and turned his head to look at Shiranui who was paralyzed on the bed and gasping.
"Kiriko, it's been dragging on over there for a long time, is there an echo?"
"You have no conscience, it's not enough for me to accompany you, and you're still thinking about Asahi ......"
I don't know that Ichiko looked jealous and threw a pillow, but his eyes still flickered for a while, and he communicated with Koga Asahi for a while.
"The elders have agreed to accept the company's employment, and now the village is conducting the middle ninja exam, and the twenty-one will select a group of newcomers and lift the seal of the demon god for them as the company's exclusive outsourcing mercenary team."
Li Pan thought for a while,
"Okay, don't report to the headquarters of this ninja army first, sign a contract with my Panlong Construction first, even if it's an entry test.
Under your personal command, I will give you a list, and you will lead people to monitor the people and company accounts on the list, and report to me if there is any trouble, so as to be mentally prepared to kill. ”
I don't know that Huo Wuzi saw the list from Li Pan,
"These are...... The manager of the Night Clan? Okay, I get the boss. ”
This list is a list of Emilia's team surveyed by the 18th side, and is a network of managers, financers, and middle managers of the banks and subsidiaries of the Yeshi Group in various regions. Of course, there will be some omissions, but most of them.
In this way, if you use Koga's ninja to keep a back hand, in case Emilia's side is unreliable, you can also stop the loss in time.
After all, there is no White Lotus in a place like the Night Capital, and if you are not careful, you may be capsized by the pit at any time.
Woo woo Lao Tzu's 80 million ......
patting his ass and driving Zhihuo to work, Li Pan went through the battle plan again.
With Li Xuehong's strength, grabbing the Holy Grail is no longer a problem. With the Koga ninja staring, Emilia can deal with whatever tricks she wants. Send the security team of Panlong Construction to escort you, get the Holy Grail and escort it to the company.
Pay with one hand and deliver with the other.
So he submitted a proposal to the company to start a 'Holy Grail Bidding War'.
Corporate finance said in a high-pitched, sweet voice.
"Proposal dismissed."
"Why!!
Li Pan screamed. Lao Tzu's trillion!
Finance, "You're offering too low." ”
Li Pan, "Lao Tzu's quotation is too ...... I'm sorry I didn't hear you clearly......"
Financial sweetness,
"0791, do you know what the average price of the manager of the Heavenly Subsidiary is to fight a 'Holy Grail Bidding War'?"
Li Pan, "How do I know this...... Then you just say how much should I report? ”
Finance giggles,
"How can this be that I tell you how much to report, but the budget is what you apply for according to your business needs. As long as the above allows it, I will approve it for you as much as you want.
But, let's take a step back and say, if I really only give you two trillion approvals, you can get the Holy Grail done, so what will 01 think when he sees it? What does the board think when it sees it?
Oh, you're amazing, you're in the limelight, so in the future, the general managers of other planes, do you still want to do things? ”
Li Pan understood, "uh...... It's me who didn't think it through, and I'll redo the plan......"
Finance said sweetly, "Okay, by the way, don't forget that I'm going to take a 100 percent." ”
Damn, how dare you ask for it......
"Thank you, beauty, it must be a must!"
Then Li Pan turned his head and called 0113.
"Crooked Ah San?"
0113, "It's you again, early in the morning, what's the matter?" ”
Li Pan, "It's okay, it's okay, I just miss you." ”
0113, "Then I'll hang up." ”
Li Pan, "Hey, hey, I'll ask you about something...... How much did you spend on the Holy Grail? ”
0113, "Holy ...... 0791, you still don't think enough things are still going to make the Holy Grail? ”
Li Pan, "So isn't this talking to you?" You think I'm just four 007s dead, I just read the documents of the personnel department, and there are eight more to come, so I can fight the Holy Grail Bidding War, so ask you about what expenses and what you need to prepare. ”
0113 said, "Heh, how can this be compared with the Holy Grail bidding war, the Holy Grail is not enough to just grab it, but also to arrange someone to guard it, the Holy Grail in hand is taken away, and the manager will be given a big demerit."
So at least the company has a certain scale and strength, and the local manager will plan.
Once you get the Holy Grail, you may become the target of other companies at any time, so the storage of the Holy Grail and the security of the company must also be fully upgraded. You have to keep one eye open when you go to bed every day, and you can't relax at any time.
If you want to ask me, I waited until I had wiped out the Heavenly Divine Kingdom in my own plane and completely notified 0113 before I went to get the Holy Grail.
So it cost 20 trillion. ”
Li Pan, "...... How much? ”
0113 said again, "Twenty trillion, a month's output value." But don't learn from me, I don't have any enemies in this plane, so I can do it so much.
On your side, the Holy Grail is in the hands of the Night Clan. They are not weak, they can be regarded as the second echelon under the committee. Moreover, these financial companies are different from those who do scientific research, and the relationship between research institutes is competitive, but those chaebol bankers are more closely connected, have deep relationships, and will inject capital into each other to hold shares.
The Ye Clan and Gao Tianyuan are not of the same level, they are just on the 07 route, there are no other supply points, and the troops cannot be replenished in time. If they really challenge their dominion, the Bloods will not give up. I think you have to fight a company battlefield to convince them. ”
Li Pan swallowed, "Okay...... Thanks for the reminder. ”
Hanging up the phone, Li Pan was silent for a while at the landline.
, I can't imagine that those vampires are so powerful, and they are actually from the finance department of the tax bureau. However, banks are not open by ordinary people in the first place.
Where there are people, there is politics, and where there is politics, gangs and factions will be formed.
For example, the financial department represented by the tax bureau is the largest shareholder of the First Reserve Bank, and it can be said that it is the strongest faction in the security committee. After all, is capital king?
The second is the Science Ethics Committee, science and technology is the primary productive force, and monopolizing technology is monopolizing everything. It's just that as 0113 said, research institutes and technology companies are in competition with each other, and most of them need to get investment loans from the banking system, so it is unlikely to form a synergy.
By the way, SEC is also TheM's main customer group, and the company's monsters are basically sold to SEC's research institutes in addition to their own research and development.
And in third place is the MICC, the well-known military-industrial complex. Starships, mechs, weapons dealers, and the military-industrial complex are extremely productive, but their profits are largely limited by the patents they can buy from the SEC. And you have to take out a loan from the bank to pay taxes to the tax office, unless you can make a lot of money in the outbreak of a corporate war, and in peacetime you will be eaten by both ends.
In addition to these three main groups, there are various small organizations and foundations, such as the Environmental and Vegetarian Alliances with Terra Holdings at its core, such as their nemesis, the Miners' Guild, and various trusts of all kinds, such as the Trusts Conzein Cartel. Conglomerates cooperate with each other through cross-shareholding, but at the same time, they will never give up an opportunity to completely annex each other.
The backstage of the Yeshi Group is so hard, Li Pan also didn't expect it, so it would be risky to engage in the Holy Grail and then run away immediately.
After all, unless you escape to the world on the side of the immortals, where are you not allowed to deal with the tax bureau?
But after making so many arrangements, Li Pan was still reluctant to give up so much, so he made a phone call.
"Crooked? 0213 Huh? I'll communicate with you about the 0213007 case, um, so the prosthetics of the temporary workers one by one are genetically modified enhanced people based on marine creatures, right, so the illegal lab may be on the waterfront? But how did you come up with the idea of developing fishmen? At least an amphibious one, right? ”
The general manager of 0213 was inexplicable, "Didn't I send you all the information yesterday, did you just read it?" Yes, because 0213 accounts for more than 93% of the Earth's oceans, there is almost no land available. ”
Li Pan casually snorted, "Oh so, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I also think that because of the of temporary workers, our relationship is too stiff, just find a chance to ease up, thanks to your support at the previous meeting, then come to 0791 another day and ask you to take a hot spring?" ”
0213 smiled politely, "Your Excellency is polite, we are all doing things for the company, and mutual support is due." What's more, our prosthetic body is based on saltwater fish and cannot survive in freshwater. ”
Since he said so, Li Pan is not polite.
"Then since we are brothers in the bath together, let me ask you a question, how much did you spend on the Holy Grail Bidding War? Twenty? ”
0213 was embarrassed, didn't reply for a while, and finally replied angrily,
"It took 140 trillion yuan, fought for 10 years, did not win, and flooded the continental shelf."
