Chapter 427： Concentrated is the essence

It took Tang Fang a long time to break free from his arms, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Brother Corey, you are so polite." Don't look at this fat guy sitting at his desk all day, playing all the time. It’s a commercial one, but the hand strength is not small. I don’t know if I’m afraid of dying too early and I can’t enjoy life, or it’s used to deal with those who are like wolves and tigers at home and outside. Woman squeezing dry.

It was the manager of a large company, Corey Christian was impeccable in details. He heard that he shook his head, and kindly grabbed Tang Fang’s hand, let him sit down on the sofa inside, and then greeted Aros. , Tang Lin, and Hausen took their seats. Finally, they sat next to Tang Fang and sighed: "I guessed it was you when I heard that there was a Mr. Tang at the front desk. It’s just that... you know doing business. When it was convenient, I couldn't go downstairs to welcome me, sorry."

Good guy, this sweet mouth is just like smearing honey! Don't say he didn't take this matter to heart, even if he was really dissatisfied with it, I am afraid that he would be wiped out by Corey Christian's accusation. It really has been in the business world for many years. The old fox is impeccable in his life.

This can be seen from White David's body, the assistants are so capable, where can the main family go?

The so-called "times of inconvenience", naturally, I didn't want to show up in front of Rutherford, which was already thought of when White went downstairs.

"Brother Tang, in fact, you should contact me before you come, so that I have some preparations, take the time to accompany you around, see the scenery of'Babylon', and even go to'Tolatil' and'Alkasi 'Wander over there.'

Corey Christian's enthusiasm made Tang Fang a little unbearable. If he weren't for the head of the "Babylon" branch of the "Wanderer Technology Consortium", he would place it elsewhere. I am afraid it makes people worry about whether his **** and orientation are normal.

At this moment, White David went and returned, with a tall figure. The female secretary with a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose brought up 5 cups of steaming coffee and pushed them in front of a few people. Tao Sheng: "Use slowly."

Watching the two disappear, Tang Fang finally found a chance to divert the topic: "Brother Corey, don't talk about polite words, let's talk about business."

For real businessmen, doing business is like fighting a war. One has to regenerate one's energy, two have to know oneself and the enemy, and third, one has to prescribe the right medicine. In many cases, being impatient not only does not bring benefits, but it is also very likely to cause unexpected trouble. Tang Fang knew this well, the most important reason why he went straight to the subject was that he didn't want to talk nonsense with Corey Christian.

There is no shortage of smart people, but smart people are not necessarily socialites.

"I know why you are here."

Perhaps because of the faint estrangement in the Tang dialect, Corey Christian smiled, and the whole person became serious: "Brother, you should have noticed it."

Tang Fang knew what he was referring to, and nodded: "I want to know who is doing the trick inside."

"Does this need to be said? Naturally,'Iga Industrial' can't be run." Corey Christian narrowed his eyes slightly. At this moment, he was like an old fox with fangs and sharp teeth, and his whole temperament changed.

How can you be an ordinary person if you can be the head of a branch in a place like "Babylon". Not surprisingly, Tang Fang turned his head and scanned Aros with a calm face. He squeezed the coffee cup with a gilt pattern on the edge, dipped it on his lips, slapped it, and said, "Good coffee", sipped it. Swallowing in a small gulp, put down the cup without any hurry, and said in a deep voice: "More than just..."

Talking about business. He finally recovered his calmness, waiting calmly for Corey Christian's answer.

this time. Finally it was Corey Christian's turn to move, he squinted and paused for a moment on Tang Fang's face. Slowly said: "Iga Industry alone cannot bear the negative impact of raising mineral prices. Those old guys on the board will never make jokes about years of foundation business just because of a mere "Fukui Junichi"... The shadow of the senior leaders of the Star Alliance." After finishing speaking, Tang Fang did not respond, and added: "It's not just O'Neill."

"Sure enough, those old guys can't sit still..." Tang Fang didn't move, and Aros next to him didn't know when he started to stuff a cigar into his mouth, raised his head and let out a puff of smoke.

Corey Kristel frowned, turned to the desk, and when he came back, there was an exquisite iron box in his palm, and he gently pushed it in front of Aros.

There is a lifelike flapping silver eagle on the cigar box, and there is a line in English below it, to the effect of "originating from Havana, 200 years of quality precipitation, pure hand-made, and creating extraordinary charm." There is no doubt that this box is from the silver eagle group. Waiting for a cigar, the value of a cigar is worth a month's salary of ordinary white-collar workers.

The veteran didn’t say much. He picked up the cigar box and looked at it carefully, opened the lid, took out the cigars one by one and put them in the pockets of the army uniform, and then looked at the cigars worth thousands of stars in the horrified eyes of Corey. His exquisite cigar box was thrown into the trash can full of confetti next to him without hesitation.

"What a nice cigar box, isn't it a perfect pair with your lighter?"

It was not Corey Christian who was talking, but Howson, who stooped to pick up the cigar box in the trash can, and looked at the veteran with puzzled face.

As two people who have been following Tang Fang since Planet 5, Howson knows no less about the veteran than the Captain. Guns, lighters, and cigar boxes are the old guy’s favorite things. Throw away as garbage.

Aros pinched out half of the cigar, took the cigar box from Howson's hand, and threw it into the trash can without explanation, not even the slightest change in his expression.

Corey Christian's mouth twitched twice, looking at Tang Fang who was silent, and laughed twice: "It's fine, it's fine, it's just a cigar box." After speaking, he got up and walked to the desk. A cigar box returned and pushed it in front of Aros again.

This time, the veteran looked at him with his eyes open, and said, "Thank you." He picked up the cigar box, put the cigars in his pockets into the box one by one, and kept them next to him.

For ordinary people, even if the host's gifts don't like them, they will never be thrown into the trash on the spot. He is good, and doesn't care about the face of others. But it is strange that Corey Christian did not feel a ray of anger, and the veteran who was ten years younger than him exudes a calm and cruel breath. It's like a huge bow full of stones, such a person will not be vain. Nor disdain for imaginary and conspiracy.

Like Howson, Tang Fang was very puzzled why the veteran wanted to do this. Could it be because of the hatred of the Yinying Group that he was listed as a wanted criminal? It stands to reason that it shouldn't. The veteran never showed such an emotion like venting anger.

Tang Lin, who had been sitting still and didn't even take a sip of coffee, seemed to see something. He stared at the cigar box in the trash can. In the end, he didn't say anything. After all, he was just skeptical. Besides, there are outsiders present.

"I want to know who among the senior leaders of the Star Alliance has intervened in this matter."

Tang Fang took another sip of coffee. After all, it was something big companies used to entertain VIPs. The taste was good. Compared with the coffee brewed by Cleia, it was better in all aspects, especially the lingering water vapor flowing through the mouth and nose like flying flies. The mellow aroma it brings is just like poison and scent.

Corey Christian pondered for a moment, and said vaguely: "There are many."

"I want his name, or... a list."

When he made such a big move in "Jakartapur", he was already mentally prepared for high-level affair with the Star Alliance, and the "Jakartapur" star system was close to the Golden Passage. If he can't take the sword that strangles his throat and turn the guest back, he wants to do something in the future. Wouldn't it all fall into the eyes of those old men in the Star Alliance.

Getting rid of Clement and buying Newton, Dalton, etc. is the first step, and the establishment of "Morning Star Casting" is the second step. As for the third step, I have already thought about it on the way to "Babylon". To play a chess game with the old foxes in the council, a very big chess game, a chess game that can affect the formation of the Star Alliance forces.

Corey Christian's face changed, and he looked at Tang Fang's eyes. The expression became very complicated, so complicated that some people could not understand it.

"Okay. The so-called reciprocity, I will arrange for someone to do it. It just takes time."

"Thank you." Tang Fang nodded, then turned the topic around, and asked: "Are the prices of iridium-containing minerals and cesium-containing minerals still rising?"

Corey Christian clapped his hands, the light and shadow flashed on the ultra-thin video screen hanging on the wall directly opposite the sofa, and a real-time mineral resource price list appeared in front of everyone.

According to the above data, today the price of iridium-containing minerals and cesium-containing minerals has increased by 0.06% month-on-month. Not only that, but also the other minerals needed to manufacture dimensional locks have increased in varying degrees. This may be due to Walton. The continued purchase by Joey, Joey and others may also be due to the butterfly effect brought about by the continued price increase of iridium-containing minerals and cesium-containing minerals.

However, no matter what the effect is, there are a pair of powerful hands in it, fiddled with the abacus, fueling the flames, creating obstacles for him to purchase minerals. "Morning Star Casting" was approved by the Star Alliance government a few days ago. The production line is built, but this does not mean that the old guys in the parliament will underestimate him. No one knows whether he has a dock built in places such as deep space, wandering asteroids, and foreign territories. After all, the Morningstar is a A good example, and the Apollo Pirates led by Charlman suffered a combined attack by the Morningstar and the unknown fleet in the "Dillard" star system and suffered a major defeat. I am afraid that it has also been circulated among high-level government officials. .

Regardless of the fact that "Morningstar Casting" is just a shell company on the surface, no one knows the actual details. The acquisition of minerals by Walton and Joey will naturally be thought-provoking in the eyes of some interested people.

The emergence of "Morning Star Casting" will inevitably have a certain impact on Star Alliance’s shipbuilding industry, blocking the way of many people, and Tang Fang’s strength in "Jakartapur" will inevitably arouse the vigilance of some important figures in the parliament. , Just like the current "mineral price rise" incident, it is absolutely impossible for "Iga Industry" to be the only company that can interfere with it. I am afraid that certain forces have reached a consensus to give him this naive child who does not open his eyes and does not care. Look at the color.

Of course, the so-called eating a ditch to gain a wisdom, ordinary people are still like this, not to mention the old things in the political arena, with Clement’s lessons learned, if you want to play tricks at the level of privilege, naturally you have to weigh your own weight, in case you get caught Fang grabbed the handle and shook out like this, wouldn't he be ruined.

Since political means are not enough, why not use economic means? People like O'Neill Carter and Terry Ferdinand have many big capitalists and chaebols as vassals, and these people come forward. To sanction and entrap "Morning Star Casting" through commercial means, who can say? Who would say what?

There has never been gunpowder in the mall, but there is never a lack of blood and corpses.

Tang Fang clutched the coffee cup vigorously. Half of the coffee has been drunk by him, with a froth floating on the edge. Large and small, with varying densities, just like those hidden in the dark, staring into the eyes of his enemies.

He blew gently, and the ripples shattered. He thought it was fun, so he blew countless bubbles one by one, and only a few bubbles were left. Wu Zi clinging to the edge of the cup and fighting him tenaciously.

In this scene, Corey Christian's mouth twitched, and he said, "Who is this kid anyway." When he is clever, he can't help but his heart trembles, but when he is stubborn, he makes people laugh and cry. How did the coffee foam in the provoke him? He must be killed.

"That's it for minerals."

The coffee is not so hot anymore, and the aroma is thinner.

Tang Fang put the cup back on the coffee table, turned his head and smiled at Corey Christian: "Let’s talk about another business."

Next to Tang Lin handed a PDA, and Tang Fang forwarded it to Corey Christian: "There are some information on the conventional equipment of the Monya Empire Army. Let's make a price."

As early as when Tang Fang said that he wanted to discuss a business with him, Corey Kristall was a little surprised. Until he took the pda blankly, listened to Tang Fang's statement, and saw the armored car model on the pda screen. As if someone had stepped on his foot, his eyes suddenly became round.

Johnny said that Tang Fang didn’t know where he got a large part of Monyadi’s confidential information, everything from ground vehicles to naval battleship manufacturing techniques. Originally, he planned to sell them all in exchange for a large amount of stars to purchase minerals. , But later came up with the idea of ​​forming "Morning Star Casting", so naturally, it would not be sold again.

Corey Christian is not an upright person. He doesn't think that "Morning Star Casting" will honestly focus on the field of civilian ships. Now that we have the core technology in our hands, we are bound to squeeze into the arms market in the future. After contacting Tang Fang, he became more certain about this.

Admittedly. Compared with the trading of warships, the profit of land vehicles is much smaller, but this does not mean that he will definitely be able to deal with the manufacturing process of land vehicles. The Monya Empire has a deep understanding of the structural materials of ships and vehicles. Achievements, if you can conduct secondary research on the basis of the original manufacturing process, it is difficult to guarantee that a better product will not be developed.

But what does he mean by doing this right now? Doesn't it mean giving away potential business opportunities? In this era, science and technology are the primary productive forces, and they are priceless!

After thinking about it, Corey Christian got an answer. I am afraid that Tang Fang is short of money. It is easy to set up a heavy industry enterprise, but it is difficult to do it in practice. Even if the government has passed the check, the site, production line, A series of problems such as employees, the market, etc. will make him rack his brains. The "Jakartapur" relic transaction also brought him 1 billion stars. If this money is used in life, the 200 people of Morningstar will spend a lifetime. It’s no problem to eat fragrant, spicy food and wear gold or silver, but if it is to build a dock-type space station, it will be a drop in the bucket.

"Brother Tang, there are a total of 12 types of land vehicles here, as well as the manufacturing process of the'Guardian Knights' and 2 types of experimental power armors, so let's... I will give you 300 million stars for vehicles... As for the 3 types of power armors. , Look... 22 billion stars, what's the price?"

In this era, the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers in land warfare is getting stronger and stronger, and the power armor is more and more advanced. Its flexible combat performance can adapt to any battlefield, whether it is ground warfare, space station landing battle, ship capture war, and power armor. Indispensable, it is like a firearm and has become an indispensable combat equipment for today's armored infantry.

As the times progress Power armor will continue to move forward, and big guys like the main station tank will gradually withdraw from the stage of history and be replaced by land vehicles equipped with new weapons like the "disciples". This is one of the reasons why the manufacturing process of the "power armor" is more valuable than the manufacturing process of the vehicle sealed by the Galaxy Armament Research and Development Center.

In addition, another important reason is the technological content. The technological content of power armor is much higher than that of land vehicles. The history of tanks and armored vehicles can be traced back to the end of the 19th century, while the "power armor" is close. Things that have just emerged in more than 100 years have greatly strengthened the role of individual soldiers in the armored group. They have increased the combat effectiveness of the troops and also improved the survivability of the soldiers. However, compared with the large-scale and spacious tanks, the power Armor must not only adapt to the human body structure, but also provide bonuses in terms of mobility, defense, explosive power, and reconnaissance. This makes the internal structure of power armor much more sophisticated than ordinary combat vehicles, which is a test of a country’s technology. Level.

22 billion stars, almost equal to the value of a new type of battleship. This is still the "Guardian Knight" that has been eliminated from the Monya Empire. If you replace it with the latest type of "Earth Knight", wouldn't the price double? What about King Kong? (To be continued)
