Chapter 421： Board trick

There are nearly 200 people on the Morningstar alone. In addition to the "Venus" senior executives such as Sheridan and Fielding in the industrial park, if it weren't for Zhou Ai, Kleiya, and the cooking class who had arranged the ingredients since yesterday, it is even today. After a busy morning, it is impossible to make these delicious meals, let alone dumplings for 200 people. The crew members drank the first glass of wine. It was not God, nor old man Tathagata, nor the wise and martial captain, but the two girls of the back kitchen, who had been busy with the cooking class all night and never closed their eyes. Tongpao, without their hard work, how can they exchange for these rich meals on the table.

The second cup of wine was guests from the ground, Sheridan, Fielding, and Ruskin. 80% of the ingredients on the table came from the food warehouse in the industrial park. One was a guest from afar, and the other was drinking water. It should be a toast.

At this moment, Byron and Aros walked into the restaurant from outside. Churchill was wounded on his face, and one was missing. Tang Fang was surprised. After waiting for a few people, he sat down and asked, "Where is Stephen?" Sheridan told him that 5 people had gone to visit the Morningstar. Even if he didn't bother to take care of the neurotic Steven Sue, he still had to act.

Byron's face changed slightly and he did not answer. Aros sat down and punished himself for three cups without saying anything. Grant greeted the guests to eat. Churchill squinted a pair of panda eyes and approached him, whispering to him that Stephen Sue had eaten in advance, and he was having a tryst with Angel Sister.

Tang Fang replied with a look of "believe in you". Churchill smiled and filled a glass of wine for Master Captain. He had to go with him. Since his body gained the ability to regenerate at a high speed, he was fighting wine. He has never been afraid of anyone. Anyway, it was the Spring Festival, and there was nothing left or right, so no one refused to come. After a while, he drank Churchill with his old face flushed, his eyes blurred, and he wandered like a tumbler.

Seeing that Churchill was 8 points drunk. With the bad water in Tang Fang's belly, he went to greet Sheridan, Ruskin, and the others, with a strong momentum not to get a few people drunk, and vow not to stop.

...

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, before the dumplings are on the table, the 200-odd people in the dining area are half drunk. Sheridan swayed and talked nonsense with the wine glass, and most of Fielding slipped under the table. . Ruskin hugged Nehemiah, crying and yelling, "Dad, I was wrong, I will never annoy your old man again."

The culprit glanced at it, and was so happy to shoot the table straight. He wanted to do it a long time ago, but because of his little alcohol before crossing, he has never been able to drill the corner of the table without him. Now finally exhaling, the serf turned over and sang.

Grant complained. Hasn't he done this before? Tang Fang said it was different. When I was in Crotan, the people who drank it were my own, and I didn't feel refreshed. Sheridan and Fielding in front of them are "daystar" people. It's so funny to see them drunk and don't even recognize their parents and full of restaurants to recognize relatives.

Nehemiah said he had a bad stomach. If you don't do anything bad for a few days, your whole body will feel uncomfortable. Tang Fang jokes that he just recognized a godson and turned his elbow out so quickly, causing the old guy to blow his beard and stare. Furious.

In fact, Tang Fang was very clear in his heart. He was just taking advantage of the topic to vent his depression, because only in this way would he forget his worries and the messy relationship between the two girls. Fortunately, they only He showed up before the banquet and never showed up again. This made him relieved, and at the same time he was somewhat apprehensive, but he did not dare to go to the back kitchen to see the situation.

It's not that he has no courage or lack of responsibility, he is just afraid, afraid that if someone doesn't handle it well, Claire will be sad and even force Zhou Ai to leave. Either the hero has been saddened by his daughter since ancient times, and the hero is still so, let alone a layman like him.

There are two kinds of dumplings, leek, shrimp, egg and celery pork. Tang Fang ate a few of them each, and ordered Grant to greet everyone, and then he would leave first and return to the room to rest.

He didn't know how Claire and Zhou Ai got along after he left, and whether there would be any estrangement. Fortunately, everything seemed normal, as if nothing happened. Everything in his heart troubles and entangled is nothing but a dream bubble, last night Youmeng.

...

On the second day, Tang Fang went to the resource supply station early in the morning to check the repair progress of the Pirate Warship, and cooperated with the scientific and technological information unlocked by the Planetary Command Center to fine-tune and modify some functional modules of the Pirate Warship in order to improve the warship. Combat performance.

It was the same on the third day; it was the same on the fourth day.

Until the fifth day, near noon, I received a message from Sheridan, saying that the quantum communication equipment between the industrial park and the headquarters of Venus Pharmaceuticals had been repaired and could be contacted.

It just so happens that the repair work on the Pirate warship is also coming to an end. In the past 5 days, 121 Pirate warships have been repaired, of which more than 80 lightly wounded warships have not only recovered their injuries, under the ship function module optimization plan developed by Emma , The overall combat effectiveness has also been improved to varying degrees. The remaining more than 40 severely wounded warships have not been fully repaired due to lack of sufficient accessories and material support. They must not be used for expeditions, but if they are simply used to defend "Christier", there should be no major problems.

Now that the quantum communication equipment has been repaired, it is time to meet with those on the board of directors of Venus Pharmaceuticals, first to discuss cooperation matters, second to inquire about the origin of phagosome samples, and third to ask them to provide some "Babylon" Of intelligence.

"Emma, ​​give me a list of battleship accessories."

In the course of the confrontation with Charman and the crusade against "Tai Sui", he lost a lot of combat units. The people of "Venus Pharmaceutical" should always make up for something. Zero Element is a good choice. Of course, it depends on their attitude towards cooperation. As for the accessories needed to repair the Pirate Warship, in his eyes they are just scraps.

Telling Grant that he didn't need to deliver food to himself, Tang Fang entered a shuttle and flew directly to the industrial park of "Christier".

...

With little effort, the shuttle landed on the repaired apron No. 1, moved down quickly under the action of the push platform, and finally stopped in the hangar in area b.

Sheridan and Fielding have been waiting for a long time, after receiving Tang Fang. In no hurry to connect to the headquarters, I went to the back kitchen for a meal, and then talked briefly until a correspondent entered the dining room and informed several people that the board members at the headquarters were ready, and Sheridan led Tang Fang here. An electronic conference room not far from the central control room.

The silver-gray walls were spotless. The cross-interlaced energy-saving lamps on the ceiling of the room are full of brilliance and reveal the details. The whole room is divided into two areas. The innermost is a triangular-shaped conference table. There are holographic projection equipment on the left and right sides. Only the 7 seats in the bottom row are reserved for the upper floors of the industrial park, and the back is the remote for quantum communication equipment. In the control terminal, pulse signals and electronic grids fluctuate up and down on the display screen from time to time.

"Brother Tang Fang, please sit down." Sheridan let him sit in the middle of the 7 seats in the bottom row of the conference area, and turned around and walked to the rear control terminal. Enter the key of the familiar road to start the quantum teleportation communication equipment in the industrial park.

The light on the ceiling of the room was extinguished, and the whole room was plunged into darkness, with only the buzzing of equipment from time to time, and the flashing lights of various indicators and signal lights.

After 3 or 5 minutes, Sheridan and Fielding walked from the rear to Tang Fang and sat down separately.

"Start?" Sheridan asked concisely.

"Let's start." Tang Fang turned his head and glanced at him, he could barely distinguish the outline of his face in the dark. And the eyes reflecting the signal lights.

Sheridan pressed the button on the corner of the table, and the array of holographic projectors in front shot out one after another. Intertwined in midair into a "curtain". The first to show up was an Asian man on the left who looked over 70 years old and had a bald head. After a slight pause, he glanced at Tang Fang's location, his expression was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that to be rescued. "Christier" Industrial Park. The guy who plans to cooperate with "Venus Pharmaceutical" will be such a young man.

Sheridan and Fielding had already stood up from their seats to express their respect for the board members, but Tang Fang did not move, only slightly nodded to the first bald old man who appeared. He felt like he Equal status with these people. What's more, the Morningstar rescued their industrial park, there is really no need to be too enthusiastic.

The bald old man was a little surprised. He couldn't see any emotions like flattery, jealousy, joy, and curiosity in Tang Fang's eyes. The expression of the young man facing diagonally was always calm, his eyes were calm like a waveless lake after a wind break. It's not like asking people, but it's like the greetings between two people of equal status after meeting, and it's as plain as water.

"Brother Tang, this is one of our board members of Venus Pharmaceuticals, Mr. Pan Jianyuan." Sheridan's expression was a bit unnatural. For a long time, Tang Fang had never shown arrogance or arrogance to them. He preconceived that young people are very talkative, and he never thought that he would lose courtesy when meeting the members of the board of directors of "Venus Pharmaceutical". It was only at this moment that he realized how naive his thoughts were, and the person around him was full of mystery. The young man in was very calm, so calm that he could not even greet him, and only responded with a slight nod to the bald old man's gaze.

Tang Fang seemed to have not heard his introduction, so he turned his attention to the second director, who was a middle-aged white man with a big belly. His suit was very well-fitted and very clean. He thought about coming to a tailor.

As with Pan Jianyuan, he still nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting. This could not help making the white director who just appeared unhappy, thinking that he was crazy, arrogant, and unaware of himself. In the light of reason, the young man diagonally opposite should stand up and speak, because he is young and has a desire for "Venus Pharmaceutical". Showing due respect to board members is the most basic courtesy, not like Now like this, his face is calm and steady like Taiyue.

"This is Mr. Robin Rupert." Sheridan continued. Although this was meant for Tang Fang, his eyes remained on the white director, his expression apologetic.

Tang Fang ignored Robin Rupert's implied sullen gaze, and looked at the third and fourth directors in turn, without any change in his manners and behavior.

"This is Mr. Saroyan Shelley."

"This is Mr. Doron Mohammed."

"Ms. Caroline Ruhr."

Sheridan's voice became a little hoarse, and fine beads of perspiration overflowed from the temples. Regardless of the phantom portrait depicted by the holographic projection device, there seemed to be an invisible murderous intent covering the narrow area between Tang Fang and the directors. . At this moment, he suddenly realized that he still underestimated Tang Fang, and if he was replaced by him, he would face the superior people of the board of directors. Big capitalists are bound to be embarrassed and fearful, thus showing a certain degree of weakness. On the other hand, Tang Fang used static braking to respond to ever-changing changes. It seems to be a huge boulder in the rapids, standing still. This is the attitude you should have when talking about cooperation. After all, the chairman has not yet appeared. If you lose your momentum in front of executive directors like Pan Jianyuan and Robin, then The negotiations will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

This is the so-called **** decides the head, in a popular point of view. It means that the mouth of the cannibal is short and the hand is soft. The positions and salaries of people like Sheridan and Fielding depend on the decision of the group's senior executives, and the board of directors decides the decision of the group's senior executives. People like Pan Jianyuan and Robin Rupert just need to use their mouths. , A middle-level cadre like him would have to behave, and under such circumstances, there is no personal position at all.

Tang Fang was actually not what he thought. He wanted to dismiss the board of directors of "Venus Pharmaceutical", but he just didn't feel familiar with them. For the unfamiliar and self-reliant guys, the captain’s usual style is to put them aside. Everyone is proud, and he is no exception. The board members of the "Venus Pharmaceutical" appear one by one in batches. This incident disgusted him. Why did they do this, is not to put pressure on him, whether it is psychologically or imposingly, trying to create a favorable environment.

Tang Fang inevitably felt a little wronged. Even though his main purpose of "Christier" here is to visit Byron, and his cooperation with "Venus Pharmaceutical" is just a temporary motive, but in the end, his own people and the army of insects broke the siege of "Christier" and saved In the industrial park of "Venus Pharmaceutical", to a certain extent, I am their benefactor. Don't you think it hurts to show off with the benefactor?

Also, what happened to the big capitalists? What if there is status and status? When he was in the Monya Empire, the governors and generals killed a basket of things, and even a son of a duke was sent to **** by him. These people randomly took out one, which one was not more advanced than them? Not to mention that after arriving in the Tianchao region, the military and political leaders of the "Jakartapur" star system made him play dizzy.

Now a few capitalists think they have grabbed his pigtails and played a game of pretense, which makes him feel funny and helpless. He can barely nod and greet them without turning away. This is what he can do. The most friendly attitude. For a character who has been bitten by a dog and has to turn around and throw a brick to relieve his hatred, he has achieved this level. What do you want him to do?

Of course, Tang Fang knew very well in his heart that the five people across from him were all authentic businessmen. They would never influence the negotiation afterwards because of their own rudeness. At most, they would express their dissatisfaction symbolically. Shrewd and successful businessmen, in the face of interests and dignity, will choose the former without hesitation. Only by being cruel to themselves can they survive in this society full of intrigue and conspiracy.

"Tang Fang, this is Mr. Ruan Tingwen."

The sixth managing director is an Asian man. He looks very young. He looks like he is in his 30s. He has shoulder-to-shoulder black hair and is gathered behind his head into a bunch of pigtails. His earlobes wear a pair of silver rings. It looks very feel. What's more weird is the man's dress, which is so casual that he can no longer be casual. Maple leaf safflower pants, green plaid short-sleeved shirt, and a **** yellow gray striped beach hat on the top of his head.

Pan Jianyuan, Saroyan Shelley and others are all in suits and look very formal. The man surnamed Ruan is not only young but also incompatible with the personality present.

In fact, Tang Fang didn't care about it. What happened to the waistcoat and pants, what happened to red and green, even if he attended the meeting naked, others couldn't control it, um... at least he couldn't control it.

He still nodded habitually, as a greeting, but where did he know that the other party looked at him up and down with scrutiny, and said coldly: "You are the Tang Fang?" You are polite, and the eyes are sharp. Compared to the other few introverted, the young director is like a sharp sword with a sharp edge.

Pan Jianyuan, Saroyan and others frowned insignificantly, but did not say much, and turned their gazes to Tang Fang to see how he responded.

Strangely, Tang Fang didn't realize it, and waved his right hand as if he was driving a fly, and ignored the words.

The sweat from Sheridan and Fielding's foreheads gathered in a line and slowly dripped, and their lips were a little white. What on earth did the board members want to do? Are you trying to force Tang Fang's bottom line? Did he really think that he would let them beat the heads of small businesses and small consortia in the past?

From the standpoint of the two of them, Tang Fang’s location is like a protruding rock in the center of the waterfall. The six people on the board are equivalent to the endless river water. With the force of a great deal of force, they ride the wind and waves. The bones and bones that fell on the rock wall were splashed in all directions. As for the boulder, wind is wind and rain is rain. It has not been shaken by a single cent in thousands of years.

Of course, this analogy is somewhat inappropriate. The rock is less angry and less angry, which is not in line with Tang Fang's character. (To be continued...)
